ing carries in i, suPposltion, that whereas
the force Of education is confessed with res.
pect to evely o,her human character aud
Accomplishment, It's ofno consequence ut
all as TO religion. This, think, is contrary
to daily experience. Where do we expect
to find young persons piously disposed but
in pious families ! the exceptions, or rather
sppearances 10 the contrary, are easily &C.
counted for, in more ways tlan one. Many
persons appear to be religious, while they
ore not so 10 reality but are chiefly gov
erned by the applause ofmen. Hence their
visible conduct may be specious, or their
public performances applauded, and yet
their families be neglected.
I,musl also be acknowledged that some
truly well disposed. persons are extremely
defective or irnprudent in this part Of their
duty. and therefore i, is no wonder that It
should no, succeed. This was plainly the
case with Eli, whose sons we are told, made
themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
However,, must observe, If we allow such
to be truly good men, we must atthe same
time confess that this was great drawback
upon their character and thu, they differed
very much from The father of the faithful,

The New York Herald of Thursday, has
the following remarks on the present con.
di,ion and future prospects OF financial af-
fairs, which appear to US deser wing of Sc
r,ous consideration
"During the past year money has by no
means been plenty that is, the demand for
coin being large in proportion, the banks
were cautious in distributing their discounts
and notes. This state of things, with
large crop, were the antidotes to over-tra-
ding and over-banking, which was the dis
ease of the previous year. The times are
now chansed--confidenc ls returning
The resumption of specie payments by the
old banks has now become nearly general
the demand for coin is gradually growing
less-and the increase of bank capital and
bank circulation is immense. BY the comp
,roler's return, it appears that the amount
of circulating notes applied for IS $4,000,
600. and the capital subscribed Sl2,0OO,O 600
with n proposed aggregate capital OF sl3I,

the addition of many notes, increasing the
circulating medium, always creates rise
in the price of commodities superin-
duces a heavy influx of foreign goods, hea-
w amounts of which have already reached

The value of the importa,ions Of the past

BETWEEN FRANCE AND MEX
ICO-CAPTURE OF VERA CRUZ
BY THE FRENCH.


The BRIG Kanaw ha, at New Orleans from
Laguua 18th December, brings intelligence
derived from the British barque Pera, from
Sacrl6cios, thea at Laguna. From this
source we learn that the town of Vera Cruz
has been taken by the French, after lombard
meut. The Mexican General Arista was
taken prisoner by the French, and General
Santa Anna was SO grieyously wounded as
to render necessary the amputa,ion of leg.
The Mexican government, not willing TO
recognize the treaty entered into between
Admiral Baudin and General Rincon, and
having declared war upon the French gov
ernment, General Santa Anna placed HIM
self a, the head of 5000 men, and entered
vera Cruz in spite Of the treaty. Admiral
Baudin having learned tha: Santa Anna
was advancing towards the city, sent mum

Mr.. Whipple though, the objections to
he bill were all on the surface; if there
vas any nal conduct in town councils any

The principle of the Bill was only to give
the Testutor the same power 10 dispose of
his estate by will, as by any other means ;
the old law is a restriction on the right to
dispose Of property. If there was any
change in the situation Of the executor, the
court of Probate could remove him.

minority of two on joint ballot.

ton with the Conservatives; in which cuse
he will be carried through triumphantly."

ccuseduence was, that property was put in
10 the hands Of trustees instead Of execu-
tors, and trustees gave no bonds.
Mr.. MattAenson said .his was a very i'm
portant act, and he wished it to lie over to
next session.
Mr.. Simmons said if it was importnnr,
that was a reason for discussing it, and not
let il go over lie wished a provision In
the bill to allow bonds to be required at any
time, if found necessary; he thought 1t
best for society that every one should have
AZ much control over his own property ms
possiblc. Irone child is the bondsman Of
the executor, he becomes party with him,
and it would tend to divide families; he
would have his children united.
Mr. Cranston said he thought this pro-
vision in favor of the immensely large es-
tates; it was much easier to get bondsmen
among the million men than among those
nf fifteen or twenty thousand dollars; he
was in favor of a provision for very large
estates. We have done very well with the
present LAW, but he was willing to make
some provisions for the immense estates.
Courts Of Probate were liable to be nauenc-
ed by great men.
Mr., Simmons said there was such in
fuence, and in some towns n few men mad
all the business Of that kind to themselves
He wished for the testatOr TO have The
power to appoin. his executor on such terms
AS he pIeased those men who were the
hest executors are most careful OF putting
their names 90 bonds. liz had asked for !
boudsmcu often, but he disiked to nsk n
friend to be bondsnian. The best friends
IIaI (,,r h,,fI al
aud that often broke frieudship, because it
gave the b,ndsmen an interest against the
widow and heirs he would give the testa-
tors the power over their own property IN
this respect. He wished summary pro-
cess to reach the executor in n summary
m amer, if there was any misconduct.
Mr.. Cranston said that when wills were
male, the mind Of the testaror was often
weakened by lIncss, and he would make
i ,iudicious selections of executors ;-some
f,vorlte son or friend. When you get to
certain amount sufficient bonds are impos-
sIble.
