For The Ia ncastsr Gazette.
I Have Decided Three Points.

First, That il is exceedingly unpleasant.
often mortifying, TO be compelled to pre-
sent bills, and ask for the payment Of mon
ey, justly and even over due; for two
reasons, the first Of which is, tbe,trodble
il gives you. and the fear Of offending
customers. ( Having earned your money
once you don'tlike to be compelled to earn
it the second tihie, BY trying to collect. y
And in the second place, the Vexation and
anger you are compelled 10 feel, at not re-
cieving your dues moreathan once in 500
times, when you ask for it.
Second, That l. isnnaise, scarcely short
Of criminal, for any person to subject him
self and his creditor, to the unpleasant
scenes connected with collections. while il
is quite clesi, that every one, by prudent
scherning. can get along better by neither
asking or accepting trusti more especially
+ r consumable articles.
3 Third, That in view OF the above con
clusion. it would bs right to introduce a
once, q s,raightout system OF ready pay
in every department Of business. excep
transactions in real estate, or the loaning o
money, to be secured by mortgage on Tea
estate. And that nothing like health il
business can ever existin the absence o
such rule. .a.
And / will add, fodr,hlys thalI .hav'
decided that the COLLECTION laws we have
have worked badly, very badly; and tba
ifthe credit system is TO continue, that
is imperiodslY demanded. that we returl
tothe old Imprisonment for debt code, t
prevent men from becoming rogues.

The correspondent oil the london News,
after describing tba explosion on board
the Great Eastern, and the melancholy
loss Of life says.
ut will hardly be- believed. but it is
true, that while all these terrible scenes
were being enacted in the middle Of the
ship, other portions were comparatively,
nndisturbed. A man Who stood at the
bow declared for long time he knew
nothing Of what was going on, but
that on hearing the report, thought that
some passing ship had been paying us a
compliment. The safety Of this
steafh. generator has atap which has to be
turned by hand, and the opinion is that it
had never been turned since, ii was first

in consequence, the water within had
