CZ
the debtor in giving it, unless the former partici•
paled in it. This was the construction of the.
English statutes of 19th and 27th Elizabeth, up
on the clauses which made void grants, dicc.,
..made with intention to deceive, &c., purchasers
and creditors." The same principle was decided
in Massachusetts, Green vs Tanner, B . Met. 411;
in New York, Sands vs Hildreth, 14 John 493;
in South Carolina, Union Bank vs Toomer, 2
Hillsech, 27; in Alabama, Stover vs Herrington,
, 7 Ala. 142; in Mississippi, Pope vs Andrews, 1
G. & M. 196; in Indiana, Frakes vs Drown, 2
Blackf. 295, and In the Supreme Court of the
United States, upon the Statute of Illinois, Astor
vs Wells, 4 Wheat. 466. But in Summer's Ap
'peal, 4 Harris, 169, it was held, in a case where
• the debtor had made an assignment for the ben
efit of creditors, thrit the validity of a judgment
pieviously given, "hinged entirely on the Scien"
ter of the debtor, as to his solvency or insolven
cy at the time he gave the judgment," and the'
•knowledge of the creditor" did not seem to en
ter into the account. This was certainly a de.
parture from the principles which had usually
governed-the Courts-in-the construction of-simi
'far Statutes. There is something so revolting to
the most ordinary sense of justice in depriving
any one of a vested right—a lien for a just debt
—without any fault of his own, that it ought not
io be done except in obedience to the plain and
imperative mandate of a power which cannot be
resisted. The injustice of the Principle engraft
ed upon the act of 1849;by - the - dectsion last men
tioned, produced, without doubt, the repeal of the
proviso Irons which it sprang, within less then a
year after the decision. Under such circumstan
__ces,_its_weight-as-a—precedent-will-be-open-for
consideration, when the question arises. All.that
the present case requires us to say, is, that the
principle of that decision will not be carried fur-
ther than the case requires—that it must be re-
garded as authority only for depriving a'creditor
• of his lien for the purpose of admitting him to an
equality with the other creditors in the distribu
tion of the assets, and that can only be effected
when there is an assignment without preferences,
under the act of 1843. That decision cannot be
considered, in letter or spirit, as affording any
sanction whatever to the injustice of depriving
one creditor of a preference, honestly gained, for
the purpose of giving it to another, posterior in
time, and not superior in equity. This must be
the result of its application to cases where the
debtor makes no assignment. •
There is no assignment in the case before us
—the judgment and execution obtained by the
defendants were (or a just debt, and were prior
in time to those of the plaintiff's. The latter have
rt. , ' a sins,le plank to stand upon.

Desperate Struggle with a New.futuulland Dog.
—A gentleman residing at Saint Josse ten Noo,
die, at Brussels, possessed a Newfoundland dog,
which was considered the largest and finest in
that capital. A few days ago the animal was
accidentally left unfastened, and .when the cook
went to carry him his food he rushed un her, and
mutilated her arm in a dreadful way. Her cries
attracted her master to the spot. He attempted
to seize the animal, but he rushed on him. For
tunately the gentleman was able to seize him by
the throat. The dog rose on his hind legs, and
attempted to break away from him. After a vi
olent struggle, both master and dog fell ; the for
mer, however, still continued to grasp the throat,
and at length he got the dog's head between his
knees, and pressed it so tightly that he made '
him howl petiously. The animal finding himsell
beaten, gave up the conflict, and allowed himself
to be fastened up. It was however, deemed pru
dent to kill him.

Allentown and Pottstown Nall Route.
One of our subscribers, says the Reading

county, on the above - route, says:
4 , 1 notice in your paper that the Post Mas
ter General intends to discontinue the mail
route, No. 9053, from Allentown to Potts-
town. The citizens along the line are very
much alarmed about it. We should all feel
very sore if the route were to be abandoned.
A tri-weekly mail is what we want, and our
business requires it. We have no less than
five flouring mills, and an extensive wool
factory, within one mile of this office, besides
thickly-settled country. The mail stage
between Pottstown and A llentown runs very
lull and is doing r good business and the I
mail is carried for a trifling sum by Gulden's
line of stages. The stages run over the
route daily, so that the mails can be carried
for a very small sum." P. S.
In the advertisement soliciting proposals,
the Post Master, General says that the route
will be abandoned—unless good reasons are
given for its continuance.,__We_advise those
ot our friends interested to get up a petition
to the Department setting and have no doubt
should they do so, they will continue to be
accommodated as heretofore. They should

Napoleon's Courtship.
The marriage of the French Emperor
with de Montijo, appears to be more
romantic than is generally supposed. In
while living at the Hotel du Rhin,
Louts Napoleon made the aquaintaace of
the young Countess de Teba They first
saw each other from the adjoining balconies
in which they were lounging one day, when
the court yard was filled with a crowd, cu
rious to see the nephew of his uncle. DU r
ing the Presidency the lady was invited to
the Elysee, anil soon after L mis Napoleon
made a formal demand fur her hand. The
family de Moto ij t felt itself highly honored
by the ptopmAls—nevertheless begged the
President to wait until his position was quite
secure. He consented, begging the Coun
tess to make no engagement without his
knowledge, and added ; hope soon to of
fer you something better than now." Some
time after the young lady and her mother
were re-called to Madrid, and Louis Napo
leon, while taking leave of the young Coun
tess, said to her, “important events are in
preparation, and I may never see you again ;
f release you from your promise." "No !"
replied the, young lady, I shall. keep it,
and if ever you are unfortunate, remember
that in Spain there will always be'a house
open to you, and in that house your surest
friend,"
The ladies de Montijo returned to France
in 1.952; Louis Napoleon was then victori
ous, and about to become Emperor. His
first interview with the Countess was mark
ed by strong emotion, and while bowing. net ,
her hand he whispered is long sine,
I saw you : why,,then was I not unfortun
ate 1"
The rest is well known, but the following
anecdote of the days of courting oily be
amusing. The favorite was thought to be
fallen somewhat into disgrace, on account of
a rallying speech that she had made on the
following occasion. They were playing at
games, and the Emperor, who took a part
with his guests; had allowed himself to be
caught, and placed in the culprit's seat.—
EaCh of the company must give me a reason
why the prisoner 'should occupy that seat,
and nn aid-decamp repents aloud the replies
whispered to hitn. One was of opinion
that his Majesty was there because he was
a great man ; another because he had saved
France from barbarism —and other home
truths equally courageous. When it came
to the turn of Mlle. Montijo, she said that
'the Emperor, was taken because, he was
such a sleepy head." No one but a foreign
er and nn admired women could permit her
self such an enormity. Every one. shud
dered and looked to see the frown of Ju
piter rbut Jupiter smiled, as ho guessed
from whose mouth came the bold speech.—
He loved Mlle. Montijo for her beauty ; he
loved her also for the frank gaiety which
was superior to such obsequious servility.
nod the action, pronounced shockingly im
i.rodent by the courtiers rendered her most
wrnetive in the eyes of Louis Napoleon.—

The Ericsson.
This noble ship went to sea last week;
and after cruising about and giving the en
gines a fair trial, repaired to Norfolk.
We look upon the question in regard to
Caloric being a new motive power as defim
itely settled ; but there are those who still
doubt, and they will experience the most in
tense anxiety until they hear of the Erics
son's safe arrival at Norfolk, and learn what
speed she has accomplished.
The incalculable advantage, not only to
this country, but to all mankind, of the suc
cessful workings of this new motive power,
will at once strike every person of reflection.
The saving of five-sixths of the fuel not on
ly renders it the cheapest power with which
to navigate the ocean ; but while it is both
cheap and perfectly safe, it at once enables
a vessel to take in a supply of fuel for the
longest voyages and still have n reasonable
amount of space for cargo. But aside from
its effects upon the commerce of the world,
let us look at its immediate bearing upon our
own city-
We will not attempt to estimate the amount
of the stationary steam-power of the city ;
but it is very great—sci great that already
the Board of Water Commissioners are un
willing, or at least not anxiousoo increase
their sales for purposes connected with
steam-engines ; and it is perfectly manifest
that at no very-distant day--the Croton will
not be equal to a supply of our city for do•
mystic and manufacturing purposes. This
would indeed be a great misfortune ; but
from this the caloric will save. us as well
frwth
e
to create steam. A person using a ten-horse
steam engine pays the corporation one hun
-dred-dollars-per-annum-forthe-water-usin-g
by it
. ; which is equal to six per cent, upon
seventeen hundred dollars. Now for two
hundred dollars per horse-power, he can
purchase the right to thus effect an imme
diate saving of fifteen hundred dollars upon
the material alone, with which to create his
power, and a subsequent saving of five sixths
in the fuel, besides getting rid of the entire.
risk of explosion and the consequcint in
creased insurance. In truth, it is impossi
ble to estimate the value of this great discov
ery to the civilized world.—New York
Courier, Feb. 11.
An Important Movement.
There can be . ho doubt, says, tho Balti
more Patriot, that the wealthiest and most
influential commercial organization in Eu.
rope, has determined to send out an agent
whose visit is for the purpose of ascertain.
ing whether or not the cotton growers of the
Southern States are disposed to throw off
the Liverpool monopoly of cotton. The
proposition is nothing more nor less titan for
this mammoth society, in conjunction with
the planters of the cotton districts, to create
a continental depot for cotton. The dispel-.
sition of a few private houses to aid the di
ct shipment of a few thousand bales of cot.
ton, could not be regarded as ft matter of much
immediate consequence. but the importance
which attaches to the movement when head
ed by the Company alluded to, cannot fail
to arrest public attention and to produce de-
cided results. I'Ve have been shown the
correspondence, which is two-fold. The
first communication is from a distinanislied
foreign Minister On the part of his Gover n .
meat, referring, to the President of the Com.
piny now enlisted' This Company wines
as such to an official now in this courerv,
stating, that they are disposed to corn' out a
plan proposed in a continental depot for cat•
ton. The parties, and the names, arid the
country. we are requested not to mention ;
as in a matter of such importance. involving
ton, such iminense colinterinierests, the
friends of the movement have their reasons
for keeping the details to themselves.
There is no doubt that a powerful Euro•
pean organization for trade is about making
responsible and definite propositions to the
planters for the establishment, by direct
shipment, of a depot of cotton on the conti
nent to supply the wants of the continent.
There is no mistake about this. The evi
dence before us is of the highest character.
It is intended that the agent visiting Amer
ica shall proceed to the planting districts,
see the planters—for which purpose they
will be invited to meet at certain accessible
points—and ascertain exactly what the ills
position for direct shipments is—the ability
of the planters to act—the difficulties—th e
opposition, if any. and every thing else ne•
cessary for the information of the company.
This preliminary step is taken, as there have
been two representations made in Europe ;
one, that the planters are irresponsible and
indisposed to co-operate ; the other, that they
can be relied on, and are determined, arum;
ished with facilities and responsible agen
cies, to mice direct shipments. The thine
no doubt will be tried, and fairly tried, as the
Company in Europe tire very much inter:
ested in its success, and every way disposed
to favor tho movement. If it is carried out,
and a depot (or cotton established on the con.
tinent, very important results must follow.
It is confidently believed by the continental
powers, that they will meet with a hearty
co-operation from the cotton interest, which
is supposed to be not over.fnnd of Liverpool.
We watch this movement with interest.

Great Hat, Cap and FitOtere
IN ALLENTOWN.
inn: Kea:,
Truly thankful for the liberal
_patronage
rheretofore extended to him by his friends,
I and a generous public, requests a continu
once of that patronage from them and that
they shotild now call, and examine the most
extensive stock of
HATS, CAPS AND FURS, •
that has ever been brought to the
• public, at his established and lately
refitted Hat Emporium, No. 14, Wilson's
RoW, East Hatnilton.street.
He has just returned from the City of
Philadelphia with the new spring style of
Hats and Caps of all kinds and varieties.
The people of this neighborhood, have
found it expensive to go to the great neigh
boring cities. Hereafter, to think them
selves iii either of them, will he very cheap.
They whil merely have to call into the above
mentioned Hat. store, observe the late im.
provements, and hear of the Uncommonly
low price, when at once, their imagination
Iwill impress them with the belief that they.
stand in one of the best and cheapest Hat
stores of New York or Philadelphia.
Call, see, examine, judge, inspect, choose,
Price, and buy for yourselves.
TO HUNTERS.—Highest cash prices
paid for all kind of furs.
