DEAR SIX tr tit
Thu ur;nfer TINS far has -h~a- .-a--i:-esy MID,
with the exception Of now and then cold day, with
but little rain and that only in refreshing showers
To day feels more like snowy day than anything
we have had, yet there is uncommon activity about
our city. Cotton Of the better qualities is shade
higher since the ARRIVAL of the news by the Britain
MIA, and the sales are more brisk, perhaps, than
they have been at any time for the season. A dis
position TO try the old and ruinous game Of 'hold
ing on" has been manifested, by some, in the
earlier part Of the season, but the knowing ones
have been sending forward at their expense, and
the chance now is that the cotton Of those who held
on viii. find falling market when it arrives.
Blanks for bankrupts are all the rage this morning,
and the lucky stationers are likely TO make small
fortune out Of the misotunes of others. The trans
actions in the Bankruptline promises to be large-a

overwhelmed by their disasters from shaving Of the
fire loan, and building expensive stores and houses
upon their lots made vacant ny the great fire some
Eve years since, which lots were secured with the
buildings erected on them to the State Bank, and
the great depreciation in property since has swal
lowed up their buildings, lots and whatever elee
they possessed, bringing ruin to quite extensive
clase. The merchants here are probably as eound
as in any part OF the Union. So with the banks;
they do . cautious local business only which is
fully ample for their meane. rfqr

la Philadelphia and Baltimore, about $50 or over
have applied for the benefit Of the State insolvent
Jaw, probably believing that there was hazard in
trusting to the United States law. Be this as II
may, these facts show how utterly Insignificant is
the number of bankrupts. The truth is, the present
bankrupt law has been got up by very few indivi-
dusls, for their especial benefit. In this city two
were the most active men-one OF whom is Sllas M.
Stilwe the United States Marshall for this district,
who is in the receip. Of large salary from Govern
nent, and is also applicant for the benefit-an-
other is James w. Webb who was but recenly the
owner Of newspaper, which he represented to be
worth $;25 900 year income, which paper had
loan of $s52, 900 from the United States Bank-and
has one-,hird of the advertising under this very
law, Of which he is an applicant 10 get rid OF his
debts
These facts are utterly amazing and Incompetent
sible-and will no doubt operate upon Congress in
such degree as to postpone the law ill perfect
system can be created-a system that will include
banks, and only release those who are deserving it,
This week the bill for its postponement will be in
,roduced into the Senate, and will probably pass
both Houses
