FRoM VALPARAIso-We have been favored
with the perusal of letter from an officer boarc
the Franklin "a, dated at Valparaiso, the ] lth Feb
In speaking Of the Franklin, he says that she i:

excites uncommon admiration. The ship was il
fine order; and after noticing the compliments PAID
by some visitors, he observes | returned thanks
Tor the compliments OF friends for whom we felt
deep interest; and you cannot imagine the en- hu>i.
asm which animated their countenances when
closedby observing that the North and South Anne.
ricans were politically and geographically brother.
and sisters and that 1t gave US great pleasure thai
their visits afforded an opportunity of closely
uniting the bonds of friendship
The writer next speaks OF having dined together
with other officers ofthe Franklin, on board the BIZ
tish sloop of war Blossom. The compliment was
Ireciprocated BY the American officers. They seem
much disposed" says he, :" TO cultivate good fellow
ship and good feeling and they meet correspond
ing disposition on our part. They speak without
reserve on the propriety OF avoiding every thing cal
culated 10 excite national feelings and preudices
and trust this good beginning may have good
end. In truth, never saw so much unrestrained
cordially between English and Americans and
must do them the justice TO add that they are gen.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 3d-The East Lothian Scotch
Banking House has stopt payment.-The immediate
cause is said to be the manager having absconded
with the sum Of $4,000 from its Golfers! A com.
mission of Bankruptcy is, we understand, TO be
opened Immediately.
long established and most respectable Bank in
the county of Norfolk has stopped. The conster
nation excited throughout the country was proper
toned to the unlimited confidence reposed in the
establishment.
Judge in Georgia has determined that jury
agreeing to cast lots for their verdict is no pronnd
for granting Trial, inasmuch as 1t is an error
to suppose that Trial by Jury is trial BY mind,
when IN truth it is only to give the parties chance
Tor such trial. We are not sorry for this decision,
nor shall we regret any other decision, no mater
now absurd lift shall direct the public attention to
a reVisai OF the mode OF Trial by Jury. WHY in all
cases shall 1t be deemed necessary TO have tqveiue
) jurors! Why shall unaaiuty be insisted on in all
civn cases! Why is not the Trial by Jury in civil
cases brought nearer to the mode prescribed in
cases ca tried BY Arbitrators As now constituted,
1 RAJ oy Jury is but chance for justice and a
bounty for false swearing, il not Perjury.
