TnE BANKRUPT LAw.-It is now pretty
clear that the Bankrur, Law, il not repeal-
ed, will certainly be postponed. A Lou.
isiana Senator, one ofits friends, mediiates
(it is said) an early r signation Of his seat,
which will leave the friends ofrcreal in n
majority Of one, Mr.. Morehead having
changed front in obedience to alleged pub.
lie opinion in Kentucky. The friends Of
repeal in the Senate, are conjectured TO
be awaiting Mr.. Mouton's resignation.
As the case stands, the Senate is supposed
to be tied.
The Rhode Island Senators having been
instructed to vote for a posiponement OF
the law, that event is certain, unless anti.
cipated by repeal. We exclude all spec
%ulation upon the peio, as His Exceiiency
will probably face to the right about some
dozen times between this and the first OF

SINGULAR CASE OF BIGAMY.--It is sta.
ted in the Free Press, published at Eli
colts Mills, Nd, that considerable ex-
ci,emeni was produced last week at that
place, among those acquainted with the
parties to the affair, by the news that a man
whose death had long since been reported,
is about to return to his wife near that
place, after a long absence at the great
west. Strange as it may seem, this infor.
nation excited only CONSERVATION and
grief in that bosom, which might have
throbbed with joyful emotion. Alas! the
cause Of her sorrow remains to be told.
She had long since yielded to the s%olicita.
tons of another lover and her first hus.
band will return to find his affections bur.
led, and fondly bestowed upon another.

Speaking of Lord Ashburton's appoint
nent, the New York American saws

Speaking Of Lord Ashburton's appoint
ment, the New York American says:
This forward step taken by Great Brit
ain is so decisive in itself Of an anxious
and honorable desire to preserve peace
and deal justly, and the selection OF the
individual himself connected with Amer
lea by so many ties and interests, while
bound also by birth, station, and high
honors TO his W country, seems to US
both so judicious and so conciliatory, that
with any thing like the same feeling on
the part of our Government and people,
the result cannot be doubtful.
All pretext for quarrel will be done
away the voice Of kindred blood, of mu.
tual interests, Of justice and Of religion,
will prevail and the two great and cog.
nate nations will remain in friendship and
in peace to run the race of prosperity as
generous rivals, not enemies-spreadinr
where 'er they go the glories OF free insti-
t%utions, the word, the blessings, and the
hopes Of the Christians Bible.

From the Bsiiimore Amsricas.
A HOME DEPARTMENT.

At hN6 ff1&1 VI N
week, Mr.. Burnell, Of Massachusetts, Of
fered a proposition which has been referred
for inquiry TO the Committee Of Ways and
Means. The proposition as stated in the
National IntelIigencer, is /: "ihat the Sec.
rotary Of the Treasury be instructed TO
require Of the collectors Of the several
collection districts in the United States q
return to be made to him once 10 every
thirty days, com~pfehending generally the
kind Of all articles imported into their re-
spective districts from foreign countries,
with the aggregate quantity and the ag-
gregate value thereof, specifying N the
same manner such articles as have been
entered for expectation, together with a
like statement Of all articles exported
from their respective districts, distinguish.
ing foreign IRON domestic productions;
and that he, as oon as may be after such
returns shall have been received, shall
publish the substance OF the same"
|, is believed thu, monthly reports, such
as here contemplated, would be Of great
use in giving information, a, short inter-
walls, respecting the state of trade, and in
affording valuable means by which the
probable course Of exchanges might be
~seasonably discovered. the annual re-
port made by the Secretary Of the Urea.
sury on the Commerce and Navigation of
the United States can afford no informa-
ton upon the tendencies, during the COM
mercial year, TO an unfavorabie state OF
the exchanges.
The establishment. Of a proper system
Of impost duties adapted to the productive
interests Of the country would do Gar more
towards e~qualizlng foreign exchangesthan
any other mode that could be adopted.
Without such a system no other device
we believe would avail anything. Yet
the proposal Of the gentleman from Mas
sachusetts is an important one; and in
connection with it we should like TO see
the same plan adopted in reference to the
Internal m OF the country. At
present there are no means Of ascertain
ing with accuracy the amount and char
acter OF the domestic trade which is car
ried on between different portions OF the
Union through our great rivers Of the in
terror and along the coast. This domes-
tic is Of vast magnitude /; a
Of its extent and Of the various
that make up the great mass,
would be oil great use in enabling one to
form a correct idea Of the resources and
productions Of the country.
VIZ have placed Mt the head Of this ar.
ticle the phrase Home Department." in
the belief that such q department, is much
needed at Washington, not only for the
purposes just indicated, bu, for others nlso
that pertain TO Dur domestic Affairs. The
Improvement Of harbors, the removing OF
distractions from important rivers-all
matters in short that relate to the internal
prosperity OF the country, its growth, in.
dustry and various pursuits, would come
very properly under the care of such a
department. As things now go, the Cab.
met ministers at the seat of government
are SO oppressed by multifarious demands
upon their time and attention that many
things Of great utility are unavoidably
overlooked or imperiectly despatched.
