We have just returned from collection circuit o
500 miles, and have not received more than 2-9th.
of the bills presented.
The roads and bridges are in most dreadful state
of dilapdation. On approaching the Humber
we were advised to dsmount and examine the bridge
we did SO; and seeing the danger of crossing it al
the same time with our horse, we procured line
of several fathom, fastened II to the bride, crossed
over, and commenced towing the animal. When
the horse had advanced about ten yards the tot.
tering and death like building. one Of the panks
broke he bounded like deer, and escaped the
awfu! chasm, with trfng cut on his right leg, aud
The loss Of two shoes. AS soon as we towed the
horse into port, and viewed The perous situation in
which the lives oil his Macsty's subjects are placed
in crossing this abomnable bridge, we felt it as an
imperative duty to obtain fire to consume it; and
nothing blu. the strong wind which prevailed at the
time, and which must have carried the flames on
the Mills of Mr.. Cooper, deprived us Of doing so.
We understand that the Chamber Of Commerce
Of this city has already taken up the subject Of the
proposed Bankrupt Law A committee was appoint
ed at late meeting authorized to call in the aid Of
some of the most intelligent part of the mercantile
community, and the assistance OF some OF the gen.
temen OF the bar, to report what amendments, il
any, may be advaniageously suggested to The Bill.
as reported by MIR. HAYNE, at the last session of
Congress.
This course, it is said, has been recommended by
Mr.. HAynE and is no doubt in concert with like
measures adopting in the Northern cities. The
course is judcious to elicit the most valuable
and extensive information on the subject.

DEATH OF ALEXANDER.

An account of this event will be found
under our foreign news head, In It's
consequences, the death OF this man may
well be considered as one OF the most
important events since the battle of Wa
terloo. Alexander was the most power
full monarch upon earth; he had at his
own command, and was restrained by no
collateral, co-exisling, or any other earth
ly power, more men--hardy and we'll
trained soldiers-than il would have re.
ouired TO garrison Europe; he could
have marched into the Turkish Empire,
and said, the Crescent was, but is not.
In possession OF so much power, he may
be considered a man OF most extraordi-
nary forbearance in not exercising it to a
create; extent than he did. Though
Alexander is dead, this power exists, and
has fallen into hands that we have every
reason to suppose will exercise it--st
least to the fu liilment of Catharine's am
bilious views. This Empress it is known
was ambitious Of annexing the Empire
OF which Constantinople is the capital,
to the Russian government, and with
tina, idea in her mind, had her grandson
named CONSTANTINE, after the founder
OF Constantinople. This Constantine,
the brother of Alexander, now succeeds
to The throne OF Russia. He is said to
be man without principle, moral or
political, and as not likelyto acknowledge
any OF those restraints which operated on
the mind and actions of Alexander. II
this view of the event be founded in cor
rect reasoning, we shall soon see the
Holy A lliance scattered to the winds,
and Europe once more the theatre Of
g blood and carnage" Time will prove
all 'hnes. Bait. PAT
