The supreme court of the United Staets
has prescribed certain rules and forms for
proceedings in cases of bankruptcy. These
rules are, however, of general character,
and many minor yet important rules are
yet to be prescribed by the judges of the
district courts throughout the country.
Hon. Edward H. Durell, Judge Of the United
States district court for the state of LOUISE
ana, is now framing the rules of bank
ruptcy for his court. Many interests
are to be closely consulted and important
points considered in making these rules.
Banks are to be designated, in which all
moneys received by assgnees or paid into
court in the course of any proceedings il
bankruptcy shall be deposited. Assignees,
auctioneers, and other officers are to be
named, and q number of other matters of
interest to the public are to be provided
for. The State of Louisiana is fortunate in
having Judge Durell to preside over its
federal court, for in his charge the vast
power and patronage Of the bankrupt law
will be faithfully, justly, and ably exer-
cised and distributed.

IRELAND,S REDEMPTION.

The London Times often blunders about
American affairs, but it never makes mis-
takes concerning English concerns. 1t
never has had any other principle than
that Of being on the winning side but it
has been conducted with so much shrewd-
ness as to foresee which the winning side
would be and thus, while really following
popular sentiment, it appeared to lead it.
English papers, the most virulent in its de-
nunciations of attempts made for the anne
Iteration of ireland. So late as this spring
it filed its columns with fiery denunciations
of the Fenians, and called upon the govern
ment to stamp out all attempts at insur-
rection, and quench the fires of revolt in
blood. When, therefore, the Times sud-
denly wheels about, eonfesses that the Irish
people are subjected to expressions SO
heavy that they are justified in rebellion,
and demands Of the government The imme-
date redress of these wrongs, it may be
Concluded that the day Of Irish deliverance
has at last dawned. During the last few
weeks the Times has taken this position

land. They were printed upon placards
in large type, and posted all over the walls
of Dublin, and were soon read by every
man in the city. They produced so
much excitement that the police were or
dered to tear down the posters-but the
people had read them and the mischief was
done. The spirits of the people were
elated, and the effect was soon seen in the
Irish press, which dropped the iimid tone
which had been for some time the fashion
when speaking OF the Fenian movement
and assumed bold attitude in expressing
its sympathy with the convicted g patriots z

j. M. BRADSTREET & SON,
MERCANTILE AGENCY

NEW York, June IS, 1861
DEAR SIR-Iu March, 1866, the firm of Dun,
wiman & Co., the Canada branch of r. G. Dun
Co. of this city, commenced action against us in
Canada alleging that had copied certain portions
of their Canada Volume Of Commercial Reports.
As neither Of our firm had ever seen the book we
were accused of copying, nor ever employed any one
else either directly indirectly, to copy it, and as
the person we employed to superintend the revision
of Canada West for our book denied under oath
having made any copies from other books, we
deemed it unnecessary to take any notice OF the
newspaper reports ndustriously circulated by our
opponents, and quietly awaited the legal investiga
lions, confidently believing they would be far more
damaging to them than to us.
But the evidence at the late trial forces on us the
unwilling conviction that the person VINO made the
revision of Canada West for Volume Eighteen OF
our book either had access TO, and copied certain
errors in Dun, WIman 4 Co.'S book, or was made the
dupe OF conspiracy ON the part OF certain parties
who furnished reports for both agencies
We can only say the reports accused of
copying were furnished to Us In manuscript as orig
inal, and paid for as such and whatever our legal
liabilities may be for the acts Of others done without
our knowledge or authority the Mercantile
community that we never have knowingly adopted
and never shall be willing to voucn for the ratings
of any other Mercantile Agency than our own.
Since the commencement Of the suit our Canadian
Reports have been thoroughly revised, ard we take
this occasion to invite those who desire the best
book Of commercial reports 70 carefully compare
ours with any other Published before renewing their
subscription to either. The different books will
speak for themselves.

main part Of the British kingdom if they

main part of the British kingdom it they
can have their rights-but if not, indie
pendence must be obtained. They are
not averse to foreign intervention. Ire
land would suffer far less injury, morally
and materially, from the rule of France or
the United States than she now does from
the rule of England says one of these
journals. Nevertheless, they look forward
with much hope toward the future. The
reform bill is the first step that is to lead to
great results. In another year. they hope to
see the ballot in force, the game laws abol-
ished, the established church disesta5iished,
and the law of primogeniture and entail re-
pealed. Another paper shrewdly asks
whether it would not be cheaper TO pay
the Roman Catholic clergy in ireland, than
to keep a British army there to compel the
people to pay Protestant clergy. There
are thirty thousand troops, fourteen thou
sand constabulary police, and Gordon OF
gunboats and men-of-war, kept at cost OF
two millions of pounds year, to maintain
order in Ireland. One-fourth Of this sum
would pay all the Catholic clergy, who
would then act as the soldiers and police,
in moral sense, of the government. The
English people are no longer able to con
ceal from theml elves that they must dc
Justice to Ireland if they would retain hel
as part of the kingdom. And now tina
this conviction has penetrated to theil
brains, there is more hope than there evel
has been before that the redemption o
| Ireland is at hand.

MR.. JEFFERSON DAVIS.

When Mr.. Jefferson Davis was released
we took occasion to show how he might do
something to atone for the evil he had done.
We suggested that he might write letter
to his friends in the south, advising them to
submit to the inevitable, and to join heartily
in the work of reconstructing their states
on the basis of equal rights and universal
suffrage-such letter, in short, as General
Longstreet has written. This is really the
very least that Mr.. Davis should do, If in
his heart there lives one spark Of patriot
ism. He might and should do much more.
He ought to come home and take his share
10 sustaining the burdens that his madness
and folly entailed upon the southern peo-
pie. If that man has heart of flesh, and
not lump of stone in his breast, can he be
insensible to the fact that all over the south
are widows and orphans whom he has
robbed of their natural protectors, and who
are now struggling with poverty, If not
actually dying with starvationi Why. in
heavens name, does he not come home and
do something for their relief? Here are
the southern people plunged in poverty
and STEPPED in misery to the very lips
overly and misery that lie did more than
any other man to bring upon them-and
there lie IL, living in luxury, ease, and idle
meas, and not SO much as lifting the weight
Of his little finger TO relieve them. Here
they all are, struggling and staggering be-
meath q load Of taxes, caused by debt for

PosToFFIoEs IN THE COUNTRY PARISHES

1ObG IN LID OOOh 1h4 AMID
We have received numerous complaints
from the country parishes of the want of
postoffices and mail facilities. Being
anxious to serve our friends by every
means in our power, we have made in
quiries in the proper quarter, and have
ascertained that there is a solution to the
difficulty. The department at Washington
has also received complaints on the same
subject, but, under present arrangements,
cannot remedy the evil. The proper mode
of procedure would be to apply in the
usual manner for the establishment of new
postoffces wherever needed, and recon-
mend some suitable person for the Office of
postmaster. He must possess good bust
ness qualifications, of honest character, and
one who is able to take the necessary oath
of Office. In case no suitable white man
can be found, select some good colored
man. Let his application be signed by as
many of the residents of the place desig-
mated as convenient, and forwarded to the
postmaster general at once. We shall take
pleasure in lending our assistance as far as
may be needed, or as we may be able, and
will indorse and forward all proper appli-
cations that may be sent to us for that pur-
pose. The postolfice department does not,
usually, create new offices, except upon
the request of the people interested but
we never heard of any difficulty in case
where there was no doubt of the necessity
for postoffice, and the petition for it was
properly signed. We hope our country
friends will not long remain without what
may be had by merely asking for it.
