NEW YORK, JULY 8.
Yesterday in the court OF sessions,
Mary Boonoras, a black woman, was
convicted of manslaughter, in unlawfully
causing the death OF one of her own chill
tlren, girl 6 years old, by throwing at it
in a moment Of passion, Jack-knife,
which entered tie child's abdomen, and
occasioned its death in ;wo days. The
unhappy mother appeared in court much
distressed, with an infant in her arms.
Having at all times confessed the fact,
there was no room for doubt in the case;
and after lucid charge from the record
er, the jury returned verdict Of guilty,
recommendation 10 mercy.
Robert Ferguson also was tried for
procuring the engraving of a counterfeit
bank note. He applied to an engraver
in this city for the purpose, who consult.
ed the police, and then proceeded on the
work. Having finished the plate, a ten
dollar bill of the Montreal Bank, procur-
ed paper, and printed 800 copies for him
they delivered the whole to the man, who
was marching off elated with his stock in
trade, when an officer in waiting seized
the gentleman and deposited him and his
freight in safety at the police Office. An

Bankrupt Sus,cna.

A meeting of merchants has been held in

at which Committee was appointed to petit
ton Congress in favour Of the Bankrupt Bill.
When we find among the adyocates of this

we cannot suppose it is calculated to encour-
age fraud in insolvent debtors. In fact. as
many OF its friends arc in the class of creditors
as in that of debtors. The former feel as muck
interest in its success as the latter.
The Supreme Court of the United States
having decided that the insolvent laws of the
individual States are invalid, except in so far
as they may exempt the person of the debtor
from future liability, there is much probability
that Congress will now feel bound to exercise
the power, given by the Constitution, ssto es-
tablish au uniform system of bankruptcy.n

1t would not be wonderful if, in regaTtnt--
the fractions which may result from any pro-
posed ratio of representation, there shouldb be-
some calculation as to its effect upon the pro-
portion of Representatives between the Slave
holding and -Slsve-holding States. Perhaps
no ratio that could be proposed will give much
advantage to. either class of States. Recent
experience warrants, however, the supposition
that each side will watch closely 10 prevent
such an advantage being obtained BY tbs
other.
If $4,000 should be the ratio, the whole.
number of Representatives wiz be 1G9; Of
which Massachusetts will be entitled to 10,
and Maine to 8: if $4,000, the whole num-
Der will be T90-Massachusetts, ll-Ma;ne.

chusetts, l2--Msine, 7. We have taken
these results from table furnished by the

PHILADELPHIA NOV. Il.
Yesterday came on before his Honor
the Chief Justice Tilgman and Judge
Gibson, the trial of James Allen, Ga
black, for the murder of his father,
Samuel Allen.
In the course of impannelling the ju-
ry, George Martin, of Roxborough, was
called, but begged to be excused from
serving, on conscientious grounds, being
member of the Society of Friends.
He declared that he could not find free
dom to give verdict ofguilty in case
where the life of fellow~being was at
stake. Their Honors, the Judges, ex-
planned to him the relation in which a
juror stood in every trial of this nature /;
that he was TO judge from the evidence
alone on the guilt or innocence of the
accused, and had no lot or part in fixing
the degree of punishment which would
follow the conviction of the prisoner.
The unchallenged juror refused to enter
the box, and to take the requisite affirm
alton; upon which he was committed,
for a contempt Of Court.
