 As nearly all Of the returns have been handed in to the Marshal's office, we hope Obe able to lay before our readers next week, a complete statement of the whole Dqmllation of our Territory. Ii has been variously estimated, that Arkansas will have population of fl 90 to 35 ,000 souls; this ofcourse will prevent our being at present admitted into the Union. Du- slng the last ten years, our population has uiolC lhdll iHS rltie pI toH $ still rapidly flowing to this Territory, though the principal current seems to set towards the large and fertile Counties of Crawford, Washington and Independence, as these Counties appear to have gained most celebrity in consequence of their be- ing best known: but as the resources of the different parts ofthe Territory are develop ed population must generally increase. No country in the western world, of the same extent of territory, presents greater ad- Vantages to the emigrant, than does the County of Jackson, hitherto so little known, that not even a post-office has yet been established in it. The inhabitants. we are told, do not seek the bottom lands for fertility of soil, as IS common in most coun- tries, but prefer the uplands, which are said to be not inferior to the .richtands' of Ohio, and where every man may have the advantage of an excellent spring of pure, cold water upon his own farm. Indeed there Is scarcely any part of our Territo- Y, where farms may not be had far prefer able, and at much less expense than would attend enriching the farms of the old states.

STIMMARY.

The coffin of Col. Wiliett, who recently died in tho city of New York, was snade e If pieces of wood collected by himself many years ago from different revolutionary bat tie grounds. The corpse in compliance with written request of the deceased, was habited in a complete suit of ancient citizens apparel, including an old fasbi- oned three cornered hat, which had been preserved for the purpose. II is estimated that several thousand persona passed through the house for the purpose of view 1 ing the remains.

Imprisonment for Debt.-T'he following article IS copied from the Boston Working Mems Advocate, and we can only say, that we regret that there should be such men m our country. The poor man has always enough to contend with, in those msfor. tunes incident to human nature, without belng subject to the cruelty and oppres- sion of his fellow men. When will the time come, that mankind will learn mercy and humanity! We hope our Legislature will do something more than talk about poor debtors. They have done much 1t is true, for this oppressed class ofour commu- munity; but more is required to be done. The honest poor debtor ought never to be imprisoned for his misfortunes or his poy- eTty. C have nothing to say for the fraudulent and dishonest. We leave them in the hands of their creditors. We only advocate the discontinuance of the barba- rous practice of imprisoning the poor hon. est man. We will ask one question. Are the Magistrates in tlis State in the habit of withholding a certificate from poor debtors, who arc admitted to take the oath, until their fees are paide--Prouidence 1 R. I.l Journal.

RAIL ROAD EXPERIMENT.

An account Is given Tn late Liverpool paper of trial of carriages on the Man. chester Rail Road. One engine drew se- veral vehicles, in which there were iady and gentlemen passengers to the number of hundred and thirty, exclusive of the persons employed about the machinery. at she rate oftwenty -four miles an hour. The following passages from the description of this ride may amuse our readers:-
 Many thousand spectators were as sembled on the sides of the road in the vicinity of Manchester; the opposite bank of the irewell vas one dense mass. of human beings
 ssiheSe IS a constant succession ofin- teresting objects. At one moment you are rushing through dark and gloomy caverns, with fragments ofrock hanging over your head, as if they were ready tofail andcrush you to atoms. Anon, you ind yourself flying, as it were, on the wings of the wind, over the surface of i iioffty ernbaniment, over the precipi- tous sides of which you almost shudder whilst you glance. Now you dart un- Ger bridges and then over yiaduets. Next through deep cuttings in the bow els of the earth, the buildings on each side Of the road appearing far above your head and as if tottering to their fail. Then you again sweep for miles oyer q level country, and enjoy the rich luSnrlance of the extended prospect ?
 Travelling by locomotive engines is certainly the pleasantest mode of land carriage we ever experienced. You and your fellow passengers are not sha- Fen and jolted together as you arc in or

 money 10 enable him to be allowed the privilege ot swearing that he was T beg gar lie went doWnto the office to5wear out; the Justice asked him for two dol lars, the man had it nol. He had hn! forty cents to pay the turnkey. He had a bundle In his hand, and inc Justice demanded hat ', as iii tiff ie could not raise the money on that? It was on y an old bed quilt! and the humane J us tice ordered him to be re-eommitted til he could pay his fees to the attesmos.: .tar thing.
 Ills wife came 10 see what detained him, and was informed that he could not swear till he could get two dollars for the magistrate.-W rungto the heart, hls wife rushed into the street, and beg ged togetit. In 2 few days she obtain ed 1t, carried it with joy to her husband, ant he was allowed to swear out. He swore that he had no property;it it was a well known fact that he had none 1; but immediately, even as he left the of ice, another writ was levied on him, and his unhappy partner saw that her exeftions were vain, and was again oblig- ed to behold him in confinement. He stayed in jail on the second writ, forty days, and again his wife begged the mo- ney to procure his liberation!
 
 These facts need no comment all who read them will feel for the unfortunate family, and execrate the ayarice of the man who could wiring four dollars from suchan unfortunate fellow being. What protection to the honest citizen? What justice is there in laws which can be per verted to answer the end of every one who wishes to wreak his vengeance upon ahy man who may have offended his dig nity? That they can be perverted to this end we know, and give the follow ing as an instance, which can be well authenticated.
 On monday last, an aged lady of the most unexceptionable character, over sege7at4 yedfs q dge, was fofeibiy dfagg- ed from her dwelling by the myrmi- dons of the law, during the absence oi her sons, and confined to q cell in that pandernonium, that worse than Basti!e. the Leverett street jail; here she was confined until Tuesday morning, when she was released by her sons, who, ir the mean time, had been in the utmost anxiety, not knowing whithcr she had gone. The amount for which she WAS linearcerated was S2 67 cents, but as il Is contrary to the law to confne a person for an amount less than S5, the Wril
 WAS made for that sum. There is rem edY, but like all remedies from the law it costs more than any person in the mid die or lower stations of life can possibly afford; and, as one of the sons truly ob- served, where pettifogger would dare transgrcss, he also would have the eun- hing to overreach; and that seeking a remedy from what is misnamcd the jus tice of our country, was like seeing fgs from a thistle. This should not be so.
 Freemen, remember your ancestors oppose this infraction of your rights d your fathers opposes Inc aggressions o the British.
