The Baltimore Patriot in noticing our remarks
ON the bill before the legislature of S. Carolina,
empting certain articles from execution for debt,
says-a These acts of oppression do not go to con.
denim the lac, but the abuse of it The creditor
was oppressive, not the law Exempt the furniture
from dstrant, and poor family will not be able to
get house to live in without giving security for the
rent.-As it now is the landlord is willing to take
the little property that may be placed on the pre-.
misses for his security We had abundant proof oil
this position lately in Baltimore, and hope for the
sake OF the poor, and the cause OF charity never to
behold another experiment of the kind"

sides Of the great dock for ships o.
war at the Niswe dep, near the Hell
der.
Great difficulties are encountered
ia executing this canal. In many
places the soil is a deep, fine movea-
ble sand, where only a ANAL depth
cnuid be reached by the spade anu
the wheel barrow, on account OF wa
ter. In others the whole depth was
exca,ated in this way, the water be-
ing pumped out at great expense
But for the most part through the
whole length of The canal, sufficient
depth could only be obtained ny
scoops worked by men in boats. The
SCOOP called a modder- booble, con-
, sists of a fat iron hoop with lip on
one side, and fixed to pole s" to 80
feet long. The hoop is about a foot
or IA inches in diameter. and has a
netted bag secured to it. This III
strument is thrown to some distance
from the boat by a man who holds
the poIe, and as it sinks he draws 1t
towards him OF the bottom to nearly
a perpendicular position, when ne
raises it out of the water and empties
the contents into the boat, the water
escaping freely from the netting as
il raises above the surface. In this
way / saw hundreds at work. The
labor is undoubtedly severe. but II u
surprising to see how successful it 49,
and with what dispatch and facility
the laborcrs proceed. Some men are
constantly at work clearing out the
canals in the city of Amstel dam, IN
this manner.
10 the difficulty of first procuring
a sufficient depth, is added that OF
preserving it. From the nature OF
the soil tho slopes run down, and the
bottom rises continually by pressure
of the sides and spoil banks, though
the excavated earth is spread level t"
a great distance from the canal. On
this account it has been doubted wlie-
Their the principal object can ever be
obtained, that is, a navigation subj.
ciently deep for ships OF war. In
the small lock at Wednesdays is
very ingenious and novel plan tor
the lower gates. 1t is tho design OF
Gen. BIanken, the great engineer ct
this and many other important works
in Holland, who resides at Vienna. i.
! STRANGE LEGAL FACTS.
TO burn a house of which the cri-
