system OF BANKRUPTCY
The Senate resumed The consideration of the bill TO
establish uniform system of bankruptcy throughout
tile u. S. The question being on MIR. Wallis substitute
for the bill =
Mr. STRANGE said, as one appeared now dis
posed TO speak he would offer his proposed
to the substitute.
Mr. WALL remarked that the bill and substitute
proposed two different systems of bankruptcy, and he
thought il best to decide first one OF them, as the
groundwork Of all future amendments.
Mr. NORVELL said he could not vote for either IN
its present form, and he therefore hoped the Senator
from ~ Carolina would persist i'll now offering his
amendment to the substitute
MIR STRANGE now offered his first amendment,
which was understood TO extend the operation OF the
substitute to all classes of persons, expressly.
Mr. S. said the popular meaning OF the term 6ank-
rupcy xended he believed at the adoption of the Con-
sttuton TO all classes and the popular meaning was 10
be taken. rather than the technical.
Mr.. WALL argued against this doctrine, as leading
to the worst and most inconsistent consequences.
A long debate followed, in which Nlessrs. WALL,
STRANGE and WALKER participated, relating al
most wholly TO technicaltles and British presidents,
and chiefly to the import of the technical phrases trader,
en0aged in tradiag &c. Mr. Wall being still under
stood to bold that any person who had been engaged in
buying or selling any thing, might be legally brought
within the scope of these techncatles, though II
might not be SO with the popular meaning Of these
phrases.

Aua. ll.-Horrors of the Tombs-A young man
whose connections said to be "highly respecta-
ble," was arrested as a ''disorderlie' ON Sunday
night, and committed to the tombs. The next day
he was fined, but having no money wherewith to
procure his liberation, he was re-committed for
contumacy. The next morning he made desperate
attempt t. cut his throat, which fortunately was
discovered in time to his life. He said " that
a love Of liberty induced him TO commit the rash
act" He was the reupon admonished by the magis-
trate, and sent home to his anxious mamma, who
had Just heard "that he was out" Their meeting
can be easier conceived than described, a. the ic-
tionists say.
n Koneyacker.-A well dressed respectable look
ing individual, was brought up, who gave his name
Charles Conlin, charged with passing counterfeit
notes. A witness deposed that the prisoner went
into the store Of Bernard McTeely, l46 Chatham
street, and in pay mcnt for some trng article, he
handed over So note ofthe Merchant S Bank Salem,
Mass, for the clerk to give him change. The fraud
having been discovered in its Incl piency, the well
dressed individual was searched, and lots OF other
descriptions of /" Koneac' found in his possession.
He declined TO say any thing, except that he came
from down East, and that HIS connexions were high
ly respectable, which the justice not doubling, he
fully committed.
n Sub Charge-Last week il lot to re-
port charge OF forgery, brought against Druggist
named William Moreland, and then his dicharge.
Now we have the said William Moreland's sub.
charge, he having made affidavit, that Dr. King, who
swore that his name was affixed by said Moreland,
to the burial certificate without the consent know
ledge connvance Of said King, had then and there
committed wilful and corrupt perjury, ipasmuch AZ
sion to said Msreland TO sign the Of DIR. King
to the instrument. King was accordingly arrested
and held to BAIL so that jury will have to decide
between these learned Thebans.

How 1T srRrxBs A SrsAreER.-The Montreal
Herald copies the charge Of which Com Elliott
was convicted, OF appropriatisg the public stores
to his private use, and accompanies II with some
csustic comments. The Herald thinks, considering
the disgraceful nature Of the above offence, and
emitting entirely the others, the punishment ought
to have been cashierng him at once But so fearfnl
are all persons, sscts, and ranks, civil, military,
naval and social in the Usited States, Of Furnishing
for almost any crime, that the mild punishment men
tened, was the only one passed. Whence does this
tenderness for criminals arise 1t is certainly a
REGULARITY in the American character, and one
which proves, and will continue 90 prove OF the
greatest detriment TO society in the Union. IL IL
from an distracted feeling OF one sided pity, pity
for the villain only before them not for the victim
of that Villains iniquityl Or is il from sort OF
lurking idea on the part Of the Judges, that they
themselves may, in the course OF events, be placed
in parallel stances Or is 1t from the fear Of
a mob Of the criminals friends Whatever the
or gin may be- the fact actually exists And all the
officers Of government seem 10 coincide in the ge-
ne raj feeling In the present instance the President
ing the mildness Of The sentence exsr-
cises his prerogative in favor Of Elliott, by renN-
ting the only puntory portion Of IL, namely the de-
priva,ion Of pay. As the case now STANDS, the Com
modore, after having been found guilty oi cruelty,
and Of appropriatipg public stores to ms private
use finds himself sentenced TO a leave 81 absence
for four years upon full pay. This looks hugely Ike
a premium for roguery

AUe. l1.-Dangers of Canal Navigotion.-An
inquest was held by the Coroner on the body Of
very beautiful young married lady, named Amelia
Hunter, who resided at No. ZS4 Centre street. Ii
appeared that the deceased had been on a tour Of
pleasure to the west and that while standing the
deck Of the canal boat talking to some friends below,
she not needing the cry Of bridge, was so awfully

The jury returned verdict in accordance with
the above facts, which we hope will operate as a
