that mechanics and laborers, cannot at all times

FROM THE BOSTON PATRIOT.

The pressure experienced by the mer-
camille community in general, arising out
OF the peculiar state of things which has
existed here and in the southern cities tor
few weeks past, has caused several re-
cent failures in this city, As has happen.
ed before, among the farms and individu-
ais who have lately stopped payment, are
more than one or TWO who were not ex'
pected to have been thus affected: and the
principal cause of their failure has been the
very great amounts to which they have be-
come endorsers on others notes. One of
be greatest disadvantages Of our present
system OF trade is the facility given by en-.
dorsements TO men of limited capitals to
extend their business beyond what pru-
dence warrants, enabling them to engage
in hazardous sPeculatons. which, il they
prove fortunate, is lucky for them, and if
otherwise, produces the results which so
many have now to regret. To aDF man
of small capital. safe business, although
limited, is far better than uncertain specu-
lations, however extensive.

A grand jurya court held in the county
of Bucks, in the state Of Pennsylvania, recent.
ly madethe following presentation:
"The Grand Jury inquiring for the county
of Bucks. have had occasion to observe in the
discharge OF their duties at the present term,
that practice which has long been subject OF
complaint, still continues to prevail, viz: JUS
tees of the Peace, under mistaken view OF
their duties, too often bind over persons char
ged with frivolous offences, that do not deserve
to be the subject of criminal prosecutions; in
consequence of which individuals are subjec-
ted to much embarrassment, and the county to
unnecessary costs"
This is cause of complaint, we believe,
which is not confined to the county Of Bucks,
nor to the state OF Pennsylvania.
