very Objectionable 1t will be productive Of the
mischiefs this system is intended to prevent an
increase of litigation amongst the lower classes.
witness is seldom detained before Justice OF
the Peace more than an hour or two, and there
are many persons who will preferreceiving dol
lar and twenty-five cents for his attendance as
witness to working hard all day for less money:
they will therefore endeavor to stir up litigation.
Having thus stated some of the objections to
this part of the Code l will now submit propo-
sition to amend it.
Instead Of fifteen Justices for each county, l
would propose the number of seven for Wash
ington, five for Georgetown, and five for Alex
andria: this would give for the cities and towns,
one Justice for each ward, and one for the coun-
try part of each county, to hold the Courts pro-
vided for, and to give them jurisdiction from so
to 200 dollars
The Justices to hold their present jurisdiction
out of Court and would add to that jurisdic-
ton cases in trespass, and give the right of APP
peal in matters of Law, in trials by jury, before
Justice, by bill of exceptions, writ of error, or
otherwise according to Law.
The Justices should be compelled by Law to
keep public office in each ward, which office
should be considered always open for the con-
venience Of the people.
Each Justice to receive salary for his ser
vices, to be paid quarterly, and to receive fees.
The other Justices of the Peace in commits
sion to be continued, but to exercise no other
powers or authority than they possess as con-
SENATORS of the Peace under the common Law.
The Clerk Of the Court to be appointed by
the Court, and to hold his office for seven years,
as is now the law in Virginia.
No judgment Of Justice out Of Court to be
lien upon real estate, until copy thereof is
filed with the Clerk of the Court whose bust
ness it shall be to record all such judgments
and issue execution thereupon, as is the case of
judgments by the Court.
The advantages of this plan over the Code
are these-The Court will be permanent, con-
sequently their decisions will be uniform, and
the law of the Court become setted and that
while the rights of the People to collect small
debts under $50 in cheap and speedy manner
are preserved to them, they will have all the ad-
vantages to be derived from the establishment
of an Inferior Court.

The negro IS between twenty-five and thirty
years OF age, as well as is remembered; stout il
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in

and appears to be much less sagacious than h.
really is. His name is Jack His dress was g.
blue cloth cap grey great coat, and his undo
clothing drab cloth.
The Mare is fine large sorrel, without am
spot of white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre o.
the forehead, not covering more than the size Q,
four pence-halfpenny. She is, as well as s
recollected, going on seven years ofage; is &c
markably long in her body; has long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. Thee
may be discerned in the film ofone of her eyes

John McDonough, one of the most wealthy
and influential citizens of New Orleans, has pre-
sented Memorial to the Legislature of Louisi-
ana, praying for leave to educate his slaves. He
states that he is the owner of from forty to fifty
black children, male and female, of various
ages, the offspring of old and faithful servants,
who have mostly been born under his roof
These slaves are valuable, being mostly me-
chanics and would sell for $4,000. The de-
sign of the owner, however, is, to give freedom
70 all and eolonize them in Liberia.

Insurance Of Temperance Ships-The follow
inc letter from distinguished friend Of Tenn
perance in Boston, will be read with deep inter-
est.
A most important measure has this week
been started in the most active Marine lnSur-
ance Office in our city 1t is an offer on the
part of the Directors, to discount per cent. OF
the premium on all vessels insured, provided
the owner, and master will make oath, on his
return to port that no ardent spirits has been
furnished for or used on board the vessel dur
ing the voyage by officers or men, and the Cap
tain is further to make oath that while his YES
sci Law IN port, he has not used any spirits, or
furnished it for his men. Probably every other
Insurance Office in Boston will Immediately fol-
low the example, and pass similar resolutions,
so that in two months a bounty will be offered
| on any Temperance Ship insured at any one
of our offices.
1t is little remarkable that this has been done,
not to promote the cause of Temperance, but as
a money making scheme, which will enrich
the assurances. They are not particularly en-
gagged, at " the Merchants Insurance Office"
in the cause of Temperance; but they are
shrewd calculators, and many of them expe-
rienced masters and owners OF vessels and they
hereby declare that they have ostmoney enough
by Incorporate captains and men, and that they
intend to- draw erery drunfard out Of the ships
then insure. This Office has been in operation
fifteen or eighteen years, and has divided 10
per cent. every six months since it was insttut-
ed, and sometimes 20 per cent has been divid-
sd-Relig. Intel.

gster of that city, for some weeks past has not
6sen taken 1t is said that but one offer was
made. and that for small amount only. The
loan was to bear an interest of per cent. and
the security being of the first order, the failure
to obtain it, furnishes the most conclusive evi-

The Bakers in Philadelphia have thrown them

at the same time, great sympathy with the New

are you willing that this political wea-
ther-cock should hold you up in so ridi-

unblushing piece of efirontery that we
ever heard Of What game this "Pro-
teus" is trying to play now will very
soon be seen if Jacksonism and Van Bu-
renism continue on the wane much lon
'ger.--The fact is, he is beginning to try
to back Quit is nearly or quite time to
work himself round on the "sirong side"
again. This is the game ho is playing
for the amusement of the freemen of
X. Island, or rather for his own benefit.
After lending his aid in support of all the
ruinous measures Of Jackson and his
Kitchen Cabinet during the whole win
ter past, he now has the audacity to say
that the resolutions which were passed
by the House Of Representatives of this
State, disappearing Of the conduct of
Jackson in relation to the Removal of the
Deposites, SC. were actually drawn I'D
and passed in conformity to HIS ~.
