This excellent periodical deserves libera
encouragement. From the Ist of January
(inst.) 1t win be published in Octave Form
each number containing 80 pages.
We know of no work containing more in
terestng matter and literary information at SO
cheap rate.
The Extra series for December, contains
the "Memoirs ofthe Queens Of France, % be-
ginning with the earliest authentic accounts,
and continued down to the period of Napoleon.
The work is said to be diversified with great
variety of in eresling incidents connected not
only with the lives of the Queens, but with
the political and religious history of France.
To those who are fond of literature of this
description, we would commend the New

The Editor ofthe Richmond Wing gives il
as his opinion that it is no longer doubtful that
instructions will be prepared by the Democratic
majority in the legislature of Virginia, to Mes
srs Archer and Rives upon the whole range
of federal questions now pending before Con-
gress or tie country. The object of this move
ment is to force these Senators to vacate their
seats, and to effect this, it is designed that the
instructions shall be framed in such manner,
that no man of honor, who does not concur
with them, can obey them.
We hope that Mr. Archer at least will have
the frmness to resist this unconstitutional
Of the Senatorial Office.

Tie New York Union intimates that should
the Bankrupt Law be repealed by Congress
the bill for its repeal will be vetoed by the
President. The Union IS one of Mr.. TyIer's
chosen organs, and it is probable that it speaks
in this matter from authority. We wish it may
be so. for We are satisfied that the public sense
of the country, is not adverse to this law, and
nothing is to be more deprecated than the IN
stability which characterizes our legislation.
When the Bankrupt Bill was pending before
Congress, thousands of petitions were pre-
sented from every section of the country
strongly urging its passage, and now, without
anything like corresponding feeling manifes-
ted in opposition to it, before it has been one
year in operation, it is contemplated by the
politicians to repeal it with no other view than
to make political capital out of such move :
ment.
There is no subject upon which The legis-
lation of the country, should be more decidedly
settled and fixed, than that which controls the
relations of creditors and debtors, and which
determines their rights and establishe their
duties. Nothing is more pernicious to the in.
teyests of men of business than to have these
relations constantly changing, and to be sub
lected to uncertainty in regard to the laws
regulating the most important consideration
in on srcs, the credit System.
It is for these reasons that, whatever are
the objections to the passage of General Bank
rnptLaw may have originally carried with
tlem, we think it extremely impoIitic to dis
urb it nov, when 1t has been SO extensively
tcarried into eject.

u Money is said to be very current in N.

owing to great stagnation in business, which

THEMUTINY AND EXECUTION.

in the public mind in regard TO the execution
of young Spencer, and two others. on board 0
the u. s. Brig Somers.
Whether or not the circumstances were
such as to justify SO summary and bloody q
punishment, is matter of speculation. The
particulars of the whole transaction are moi
sufficiently known to enable the public to ar
rive ata correct opinion in regard to it. The
accounts which have been published IN the
different papers, are contradictory, and con-
sequently lead to different conclusions.
Lieut.. Commandant Mckenzie has furnish
ed report to the Secretary of the Navy de-
failing the particulars of the mutiny and the
e, idence, upon which he acted.
The following persons have been appointed
by the Department. to constitute Court OF
Inquiry, to investigate this unfortunate affair;
