One exception to this rule exists, where
the law respecting the personal safety

Legal relation of Husband and Wife

The effects produced by marriage OF
the legal rights IF the parties are impor
.ant to be known in every family.
In Law. husband and wife are consid
cred as one person; and on this primes
pie ali their civil duties, rights, and die
liabilities rest.
| The wife cannot sue in her own name
| ii she suffer injury or wrong, IN hel
person or property, she can, with her hts
Dand's aid and concurrence, prosecute
for redress; but the husband must always
be the defendant. lncriminal cases, how
ever, their relations assume new form
the wife may, ia criminal cases, be prose
cuted and punished.
I The vito can naake no contract with
the husband; nor the husband with the
wife. This disability Is involved in the
first principle which makes them legally
one. But they may contract. through
the agency Of trustees, the wife being un'
der the protection Of the husband.
All contracts made between them be-
fore marriage, are, of course, dissolved
upon that event.
The husband cannot convey lands Of
rent estate to his wife directly; but be
may settle them upon her through a trus
Iteeship. The wife may release her dow
er TO his grantee. As prospects the right
/ of bequest, the husband can always de.
wise real estate to his wife.
Upon marriage, the husband becomes
possessed ofalI right and title to her prop.
erty, whether personal or real: and a'the
"a the time he becomes liable for all her
debts, and must fulfil all her contracts
made prior to their union.
If the wife die before the husband, and
there be no issue, his heiIs succeed TO her
real estate.
Bu, In case OF issue, ths husband re-
mains in possession Of heH lands during
his lifetime only, and at his demise they

All deias due to the wife bccones after
marriage the property of,hc husband, who
becomes invested with power to sue on
bond, note or any other Obligation, to his
own exclusive use. The power of dis
charge and ssignment, and change OF Sc
curities, are of course involved IN the
leading principle. Ii he dies before the
recovery of the money, or the change OF
securities, the wife becomes entitled to
the debts IN her own right.
All personal property of the wife, such
as money. gooas, moveabies, and stocks,
become absolutely the property Of the
husband upon marriage, and on his death,

Property may be secured to the use OF

Jamaica papers, OF the A4tn Of
March, were received at New York
yesterday; and are said to contain no
lncws. A letter from Kingston, dated
the 18th February speaks thus-and
40 doubt truIy--of the state OF affairs
IN jamaica
You heave heard of the splendid
estates and sumptuous living of the ia
ma:cans. Of,hc planters, who could
vie witt, the Princess Of the earth in
their gorgeous palaces and rich equip
ment. Alas! those days are past.
Their estates are burthcn, and even
their life is held by a slende, tenure.
rhey know not Blu; their food, served
by numerous rednue, contains the
deadly poison. How horrible to fear
the assassin and the ncendiary,in the
most familiar faces. Yet such is the
case, and one of the fairest islands Of
this fair earth must be abandoned to
beings whose situation has made them
little superior to the beasts, and whose
course is downward. You well know
that am no friend to slavery. Far
be it from me- to advocate it. give
facts.
Under existing circumstances, am
well assured that the white inhabi-
tants cannot remain. Their costly su-
gar estates will not pay the expense OF
management. Credit is entirely ex-
tinct. An estate Of 200 negroes could
not hypo:hecatc the ensuing crop for
2O0!. In fact merchants in England
direct their factors to give no credit
bottomed on cane top. Mortgages
Ireiinquished immense sums, rather
than pay tritling aDnuities on estates.
A hundred negroes were sold for
81 ,5OU. Bad legislation here and at
home, a change Of times, competition,
and for aught know, the natural and
necessary consequences Of the system
of slavery, have brought about this
state of things,
Certain it is that real estate is con-
sidered almost without value, heavy
island debt is impen ending, taxation in-
tolerable, and .ife itself exceedingly
precarious. ] learned the above in
conversation with two gentlemen who
have been long in the House Of Assem-
bly,. The inhabitants generally labor
under a keen sense ofinjury done them
by the mother country, and look to
ours as the land of promise. In con-
seq qence, many are making remit
tances to our cities. Some gentlemen
|of character and fortune have already
removed, and many are preparing to
follow. These gentlemen informed
me that the emigration would be i'm
mediate and large. They enquire
with great earnestness respecting the
agric ulturc Of the free States, as MOTH
ing would induce them to live again
lin a slave country"
