DISTRESSING =.

The Pilot-boat HIRAM, of Hampton
sailed from thence about the goth Sept. to
cruise OFT the Capes, having on hoard four
of the most experienced Pilots OF that place,
to wit: john Lalorence, .9nare,v Bulb,
John Payne, and Josepl Erans and three
other persons, viz. Uiiian .Jeaicins, Ia
young man belorging to Norfolk.) an ap-
prentice lad, and a negro man, 1.-THE proper
ty OF MIR. Col!ier.) As the boat did not
return in reasonable time, and as sic was
out during the eqhinoxial gale, strong APP
prehensions were entertained that she had
been wrecked or driven OH shore. To as
certain If this was the case, some citizens
OF Hampton went down and traversed the
beach from Cape Henry to place called
Crow-island, 60 miles to the southwark,
where they found theboat ashore and near
iy broken TO pieces. None of the inhabit-
ants III the vicinity could tell at what time
she came ashore, nor give any account Of
the people that were in her. From every
circumstance, however, it is but too eyi-
dent that all who were on board of her
must have persisted. The loss of these va
liable men is deprivation of enterprise
and industry to the town of Hampton.
which it will feel severely. The sorrow
which their melancholy fate has caused a
mong their townsmen IS the best criterion
OF their worth, and proves, that however
humble might be their lot in life, they have
acted commercially, and deserved better
tate. What renders this calamity still
greater, Is, that several of those wnfortu-
nate men have left wife and children,
whose situation it may be easier to con-
ceive than describe.

COTTON MANuFAcTUREs.

he cotton manufactured this year IN
the states will be atout 20,0oG,000 pounds
Which at % cents per pound is five million
81 dollars This quantity manufactured
into shirting, &c.&c. would be fairly esti-
mated at 81 80 per pound and the same
quantity exported would net five millions.
and manufactured in the country would be
worth about so millions, making a clear
gain OF 25 millions Of dollars to the United
States
When artifcers multiply and i'm rove
IN their workmanship, the yarn is made of
liner qualities, say for muslins, cambrics,
&c: from No. so to 100, the goods thus ma
nuiactured for home use would still be a
greater SAVING. The states grow about Go,
600, 600 pounds of cotton, which if expor-
ted in the raw state at % cents per pound
void be Is, 900, 600
Half of this quantity manufac-
ture,l into cloth of various
kinds for domestic use, as
sh:rtiags, ginghams, &c.atSl
so per u. il 45,ooo,OO0
The remainder shipped az yarn
from No. 90 to No. 50, such
as our excellent machinery
now IN use, can and are in
the habit Of making, at 81 40
per ID. S42,0O0,0O0
So, 100000
Deduct the amount shipped as
raw cotton, Sl5,000,000
-----------
Gain to the United States, S72.OJ0,0Go
Some Of my estimates may be rated full
high, others are certainly l,w; the i'm
mense quantities of cotton transported into
the interior of our country this last season
induces the belief of soon seeing some part
Of the estimate realized, and hope thai the
other parts will soon folow.
The time is not far distant when it viii
oe as rare to see cotton goods brought from
other countries as it is nov to see brick or
gingerbread brought from Holland.

GOLDEN as. PRINCE.
This cause came before the Court upon a
case stated, the material parts of which
are set forth, by the Judge in his OPT
nion-It was argued by Shoemaker,
for the plaintiff. and by IngerSoH, Rasote
and j. II. IngerSoL, for the defendant
After holding it under advisement for
some days, the following opinion was
delivered by Judge WaShiHgton-Judge
Peters not having been present, at the
argument, took no part in the decision
WAsHIsGroN This is an action
brought upon bill Of exchange drawn by
the defendant on the 9th May 1911 at the
island Of st. BarthoIOmeios for value re-
ceived there, in favour of. the plaintiff on
himself at PHILADELPHIA 90 days after
sight, which was regularly noted for non
acceptance, and protested for nonpayment.
This action was brought on the 4th MAY
1912, to which the defendant pleaded IL
bar, his discharge under law Of this state
passed ON the 18th March 1912, for the re-
lief of insOlvent debtors, obtained proyi-
sionally on the Esd April, and finally OF
the 29th May 1912. The case agreed
states, that the defendant did not give to
the plaintiff, or to any agent of his, notice
of tie defendants petition, which was pre-
scented on the Goth April 1919, although
the plaintiffs attorney was informed of the
application, few days after it was made ;
nor has the plaiDtiHprOyed his debt, under
the said proceedings.
The act referred to in the plea declares
that a debtor who has cOnformed to the Sc
veral regulations Of the law, for the pur-
pose ofYestips al his property IL the a..
signees for the benefit Of his creditors, aud
who has received his certificate OF dis
charge from the commissioners, shall he

petitioner has been discharged by virtue Of
that act, and shall be construed to dis
charge such insoiyent, from all debts aud
demands due from bin, or for which he
was liable, at the date Of such certificate,
or contracted or originating before that
time, though payable afterwards.
It is objected to this plea, 1st, That the
act under which the discharge is claimed,
having beer passed since the year l789
Affords no binding rule Of decision for this
