VIRGINIA IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT LAW
HARDsHIPs OF BALTIMoREAN, &c.-MeSsrs.
Editors The Virginia code, published in 1850,
abolished imprisonment for debt. 1t has been
reserved for the recent Legislature of that State
to perceive the folly of the measure, and to
write in yet blacker letters than before an in
famous and barbarous enactment.
The law to which / refer concentrates in n
single sentence all that was harsh and repul-
sive in the old statutes of the State this
subject Formerly, indeed, the debtor might
relieve himself by the oath of insolvency.
Now he cannot, though he be penniess I'm
less he can find bail before the sheriff can
hurry him to the jail-door, he is a prisoner
without remedy. If the jaier do but salute
him as his guest, relief by bail is gone. He can
be relieved by no means except by payment Of
the claim, Independent Of IL, justice or injustice,
until the time four months allowed the creditor
in which to 81 file his interrogatories' shall ex-
pire The provision, it is true, applies only 10
non-residents, and persons about 10 remove from
the State but this is only another of its repul-
sive features, because of its tendency TO trap the
unwary and cheat the ignorant. IL a stranger
should be in Virginia city, and there meet
some ill-natured cur, to whom he happens to owe
even a small debt, the chances are that, instead
of having the inequalities of the place rendered

case in point occurred in the town Of AL
eyandria, few days ago. A gentleman from
Maryland being so unfortunate as TO owe debt
in that town which he could not or for good
cause was unwilling to pay, was thereupon ar.
rested, and being unable to procure bail on the
spot, was hurried to Jail, where he will repose
| for the term of four months; and, although
ready and able to give the necessary security,
the terms of the law do not admit its accept
ance He must content himself until his cha
ritable and amiabe creditor shall be pleased to
open the prison door, or until the expiration Of
his term. Should the latter occur, why may he
not be again arrested on new process, and
again imprisoned? We ask tohg? The debt il
not satisfied by the first incarceration

Virginia is now in session. Would il not be nj

to seek constitutional abrogation of measure
which owes its existence to the spirit of the darb

LAYING OLE THE STONE

Messrs. Editors: perceive that it is presumed
there will be no procession, or other appropriate
display, on laying the cornerstone of the new
capitol building on the GLORIOUS Fourth" /
may not perhaps be qualified to judge correctly,
but it appears to me that this would not be re-
spectful to either the occasion or the nation.
The corner stone to the greatest public building
of the greatest nation on the globe is to be laid
Think what talents, what eloquence, what pa
triotism, and what love of country from all sec
tons of our land, will centre there and continue
to occupy those halls for all time to come. Is
it not enough to require the assembling of the
enlightened people from all sections Of the
country around? We conceive that too much
parade cannot be made on such an occasion
The respect we entertain towards our capitol
the greatness and dignity of our land, and the
cementing of those bonds which unite the Union
and it's people together, demand grand dis
play. Let US have the cornerstone laid, if laid
at all, with oil the pomp and splendor possible

THE TELEGRAPH WILL BE SUSTAINED.
MEssRs. EDIToRs In observing your modest
allusion to the welfare of your excellent paper
in late editorial, was impressed with a few
reflections which think will be well received
by our community. That your paper has now
attained to a good standing and will prosper, is,
believe, fully demonstrated. Its cheapness, its
size, its domestic character, its spicy columns,
and its daily ISSUE secures this while the
general intelligence it conveys makes it an OBJ
ject of interest to all What, then, are the
advantages arising from the establishment of
a cheap daily paper in our midst? One of the
most interesting and important is the benefit
that will accrue to the trade and growth of our
city. Depend upon it, wherever the Telegraph
circulates, its readers will be drawn to Wash
ington to do business; hence the prosperity of
our merchants and mechanics. A cheap paper
serves as connecting link between the city
and the country, and always will unite the
whole people together
X II
The present appears favorable moment to
centre our united strength on paper of our
own. If we but do this, we cannot fail to have
one Of the best and most influential papers in
the land. Echo.

10th instant public dinner, which was attended
by large number of gentlemen, was given at
Liverpool, by the Catholics, to Archbishop
Hughes, of New York. The first toast was to
the Pope, and the second to the Queen. The
chairman read q letter from Mr.. Crittenden,
United States Consul at Liverpool, acknowledge
ing an invitation to be present. The chairman,
in giving the toast to Archbishop Hughes, alluded
in glowing terms to the United States; and his
announcement that the United States were a
freer and happier country than England was re-
ceived with terrific applause. The Archbishop
made an eloquent speech in reply, in which he
alluded to his Irish birth, and the honors con,
ferred on him since his emigration to America.
Among the toasts was the following: "The
United States and their institutions, founded as
they are upon the true principles of religious

The new yacht America sailed for Europe
on Saturday morning. She was built upon the
condition that should she prove to be faster
sailer than the Maria, the builder should re-
ceiye double the cost of building her, which was
about si1ty-three thousand dollars. She has
had several trials with the Maria, but has
never been able to beat her; but several gen.
tlemen were SO well satisfied with her sailing
that they purchased her for $4,000. Her
present owners are Messrs. John c. Stevens,
Geo. L. Schuyler, Edwin A. Stevens, Beekman
Finley and Mr.. Wilkes, and they send her
across the Atlantic for the purpose of matching
her against the crack vessels Of the royal Yacht
Club. She first goes to Havre, where she will
be fitted up in elegant style, and then proceed
over to England.
Captain Richard Brown goes out with the
America as her captain, and her crew consists
Of first and second mate, carpenter, and eight
men before the mast. One Of our port pilots
also goes out in her, and Mr.. Steers, her mod
eler, is also passenger. Her owners will sail
in the Humboldt on Saturday, and will join her
at Havre, and proceed in her to England
