TO present the bill for payment at the
lace specified in the acceptance.
5th.-That it is not necessary for the
holder OF the bill, TO aver in his decla-
ration, the fact of bis having thus pre-
scented the bill for payment but that
this should be shown in the plea
6th.-That to enable the holder of
he bill of exchange to maintain an ac-
lion against the drawer on the original
debt, he must first deliver, or offer TO
deliver up the bill TO the drawer.
After these opinions had been COM
municated, the Lord Chancellor Eldonl
and Lord Redesdale late Chancellor of
Irelandl addressed the Lords, and dis
cussed the several points very fully
They agreed entirely with each other;
but on the fifth point they differed from
a majority of the Judges. Lord EIdon,
in the course Of the discussion, did not
treat the arguments of the Judges with
much resPect-and, in truth, they were
not entitled to much. On any question
of law, the opinion of Lord Eden, or
of Lord Redesthle, is worth that of the
whole twelve bgether. 1t was finally
decided by the House of Lords, in con-
formity to the opinion of these two en-
inent Lawyers, that the acceptance
made by Rove, was qualified accept
ance that mailing the bill payable at
Sir John Peerhg & Co. bankers, Lon
don, materially changed the contract
that the scceptor, Rowe, was holden to
make payment at that place, and not
elsewhere that Young, the endorser,
was boupf TO make presentment at that
place, AID so to aOer ii IN his declaration,
and TO prove it on the trial which
averpent being omitted in this case,
the Judgment of the Court of X. B. was
for hat cause reversed.

Destruction of the Jagarnaut.

LONDON, SEPT. a.
1t must crafty every friend 10 the
progress Of human reason, to learn that
notwithstanding the difficulties so long
considered insuperable, glorious
change is effected in British India
The free press of Calcutta has operat-
ed most powerfully in reforming the
most inveterate and revolving abuses
The effect of seven native presses at
work in that great city, has been to
triumph over Hindoo superstition in its
strong hold. During the last festival Of
Jagarnaut, so few pilgrims were present
that they were unable to drag the car.
The Brahmins called in other aid. but
no devotee could be persuaded to sac
rlhce himself to the idol. They now
talk of removing the Rath to more
central situation. The willy priesthood
have sagaclty enough to perceive that
sanguinary superstition beyond the
sphere of free press, or that the big
otry of thirty centuries will disappear.
To the permanent glory of our Indian
administration, large portion of the
population of Bengal are receiving the
rudiments of an improved system of ed
ucation, while thousands of elementary
works are circulated throughout our
empire. Even Hindoo women, against
whom widowhood, and consequent burn
ing alive, are denounced for learning
the alphabet, and who must not read
the Veda under pain of death, have
placed their daughters at the publick
schools.

WORCESTER,
THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 90, 1922.
@ rrrNET[DC~

In remarking on this subject, last week, we
desgnedly omitted to mention any other can
didates than Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Crawford
Judging from present appearances, they will
be the taco rival candidates because, if it
shall be found that they will probably each
have greater number of votes than any 9TH
er candidate, that very circumstance may
draw to the one or the other many of the votes
of those who might prefer third candidate
Especially is this to be looked for in the larg-
er States, whose interest it is to prevent the
election from devolving upon the House of
Representatives. An election, there, is deter
mined by States and Missouri, with her sim
gle Representative, would have an equal vote
with New-York. In that case, one of the
three highest candidates must be chosen.
II is possible, however, that circumstances
may enable some of the smaller States to pre-
vent an election, in the first instance and
they may choose to do so, in order to increase
their relative strength in the contest, and
thus afford prospect of success to a third cam
didate. Such course would not be at all
wonderful, since it is the only way by which
the small States can regain any portion of the
vantage ground, which, by the amendment Of
the Constitution, Immediately after the Access
sion of MIR. Jefferson, they so magnanimously,
or heedlessly, surrendered.
Should the election dcvolve upon the House
of Representatives, it is now not easy to pre-
dict by what third candidate choice by the
Electors will have been prevented. Mr. Cal
houn and Mr.. Clay have each jealous friends;
and they belong to sections of the Union more
likely than any other to question the preten-
sions both of Mr.. Adams and of Mr.. Craw-
ford. fthe two, Mr.. Calhoun would proba-

FROM THE BRAZILS.

The Butcher, at Baltimore, brought
Buenos Ayrean papers TO the 18th, and
Rio to the 26th of September inclusive.
Preparations were making to crown the
Prince Regent as Emperour on the 18th
of October, as also for defence against
the mother country in case of resistance.
For the latter purpose, 100000 milreas
had been borrowed of the merchants.
Many European Portuguese were pre-
pairing to quit the country. Eight thou
sand troops had already been raised in
and about Rio; and government was
constantly impressing. Two vessels of
war were fitting out, and all the expos
ed points on the coast were about being
fortified. All persons opposed to gov
ernment had been ordered TO leave the
country--those in the sea-ports we're
allowed thirty, and those in the interior,
sixty days.

The London Courier ventures a sheer,
at the assumed importance of Russia.
1t says, 8 Russia at present is the most
formidable, as far as relates to the num-
Der of her diplomatick agents. Is this
display of numerical superiority intend
ed to mark an assumption of political
pre-emlnence on the part of this power?
The Emperour Alexander might, in
deed, be pardoned such burst of vani-
ty, when it is considered how his allies,
by moving at his nod, permit him to
fancy he is the autocrat Of Europe, as
we'll as of Russia.''

burnings abroad, as at home, and most
especially w:.h those who, notwithstand-
ing some little rivalry, are still our
brethren by birth, though they NAV
have emanated from guilty and de-
graded stock"
The accounts received through vari-
Gus channels, from the Morea, appear
to confirm the previous intelligence of
the discontinue and almost total de-
struction of the Turkish corps which
had penetrated into the Morea. The
head of the Pacha of Salonicha, who
commanded it, was presented TO the
Senate at Argos on the Goth utimo; and
there remained in the hands of the
Greeks, as the fruits of their successes
on the 18th, 10Th and 18th ult. 5000
prisoners, 1000 horses, and 200 cam
els. The remains of the Turkish
troops had fled TO Corinth; and as it is
said, on the 18th, negotiation was
opened for the surrender of the place.
and that the Turks, as a proof of their
sincerity, had evacuated the CITADEL
The Greek Senate had renounced all
interference in military affairs, and APP
pointed Calestroni Dictator, to which
measure their recent advantages are as
cribed. The letters from Argos state
that a Greek feet of 90 sail was on its
way to Patras F.; and on the 18th ult. it
was reported at Corfu, that it had fallen
In with and attacked the Turkish fleet
off Sante, and succeeded in taking six or
seven small trigates and corvettes, and
in sinking several others; that six
Turkish took shelter in Murto, and the
rest sought shelter in Zante. 1t is again
asserted that Courschid Pacha had been.
defeated in Thessaly, and that he re-
turned to Larissa on the 9th ult. with
only 5000 men, out of all the force he
had collected together, amounting, as
was said, to 10000 men. 1t is further
stated, that the Suliots and Albanians
continue to make common cause with
the Greeks, aud have recently obtained
several advantages over the common
enemy.

gent with the consent of the King his
father, who it is commended is no better
than prisoner of the Cortes in Lisbon.
This supposition is strengthened, by OBJ
serving the tone of the addresses and
proclamations of the Prince, who utters
nothing disrespectful TO the King, while
he loads the COrtes with obloquy and
reproach.

COMMERCIAL LAw-BLL OF EXCHANGE.
The .folLorcing case has recently been de-
cided i" England, an the House Of Lords.
RowE Us. You've, an error.-On the
Goth December, 1919, James Meagher.
at Gosport, drew Bill of Exchange
for $500 upon John Rowe, al Torpoint,
payable to his own order, two months
after date. Rowe accepted it, payable
at Peering and Co.'S Bankers in Lon
rfo's. It PoSoCu Uy ortivro~tI.-..t :..t~ tI.e
hands of Isaac Young; and not being
paid, when due, Young brought an ac-
ton against Rowe, as acceptor, and re-
covered judgment against him in the
Kings Bench, on demurrer.
The declaration did not alege that
the bill had been presented at Peering
s. Cos in London, for payment.
The cause was brought by writ of
error to the House of Lords.
Several questions were referred by
the Lord Chancellor, to the twelve
Judges, upon which there was great
diversity of opinion and on which the
Judges gave their answers seriutim.
Dallas, Chief Justice, Park, Bur-
roughs, and Richardson, of the C. p
Bayley and Best, of the X. B.-and
Wood and Garrow, of the Ex. 81 were
of opinion that the holder of the bill
was bound to present it at the house of
Peering 4 Co. for payment.
Abbot, Chief Justice, and Holroyd,
of K. r. Richards Ch Baron and Ora
ham of the Ex. [4 contra.
The last four, together with Best,
Richardson, and Garrow, ri held that
it YVES not necessary to aver in the dec
laration, that the bill was presented 10
Peering & Co. for payment. The 9th
er FIVE contra.
The nature of the other questions
will be understood from the following
answers, in which a majority of the
Judges concurred
1st. That whenever a special ac-
ceptance of bill of exchange is given
by the drawee, and received by the
payee, without the assent of the draw
er, which acceptance SO qualities or al
tiers the original contract, as might and
probably would subjec, the drawer to
injury or inconvenience, the drawer is
thereby discharged.
2d.-That whenever the bill of ex-
change is general, without specifying
any particular house or place OF pay
ment, and in the acceptance the drawee
designates the house or place Of pay
ment, and that whether the house or
place so fixed be in the town where the
drawer dwells or not, it is a qualified,
and 'not general acceptance of the
bill.
3d.-That whenever the acceptance
of payment is in different town, or so
remote from the abode of the drawer,
that more time is required to give the
drawer notice in case of non-pavment,
it is that kind of injury or inconvenience
which discharges the drawer.
4th.--Tbat the holder Of bill Of ex-
change, with special acceptance APP
pointing a place Of payment, is obliged

With regard TO the expense of the
machines, il may be observed, that a.,
though their original cost may in SON
instances appear heavy, the subsequent
advantage IRON their adoption, in point
OF economy, is by no means inconsider
able, and it is derived in manner which
must be most satisfactory to those who
have the important charge and respon-
sible control of these publick establish
ments, viz. from the diminution in the
number of persons committed. Such
have been the results already experience
ed at those prisons where this species
of corrective discipline is enforced
The saving to the country Gin conse.
quence of the reduction in the number
of criminals in the publick charges for
their apprehension, committal, convic-
ton and maintenance, cannot but be
considerable.
1t is unnecessary to occupy much time
in proving the advantage which the in
vention of the Stepping Mill presents as
a species of preUenti0e punishment. AL
though but very recently introduced,
and hitherto but sparingly brought into
action, the effects of its discipline have
in every instance proved eminently use
ful in decreasing the number Of commit
ments. As corrective punishment,
the discipline of the Stepping Mill has
had most salutary effect upon the pris-
oners, and is not likely to be easily for
gotten; while ii is. an occupation which
uy no means lnterferes with, nor is cal
culated to lessen the value of those
branches Of prison regulation which pro-
vide for the moral and religious i'm
provement of the criminal.
BY contrivance of machinery. when
the machinery of the mill has attained
its proper speed, certain balls rise BY
their centrifugal force, so as to draw

which will then cease to ring bell.
placed in some convenient situation for
the purpose. But should The men at
the wheels cease to keep up the requi-
site speed in the mill work, the BALI
will descend, and projecting pin on
the box, striking the handle, placed IN
the proper situation for that purpose,
will continue to ring the bell till they
go on again properly; and bythis means,
certain check will be kept on the Ia
bourers, and the governour or task-mas-
ter apprized, even at distance, that
the full work is not performed.
