BitooIiSPIRIDGE, from tbo Committee
oil the JUdicia?y, reported a supplement to the act,
abolishing irep r risciament for debt: The bill as repor
ted, goes only to repeal the law so far as it effects
prior col:ry:C.ls, and it is Understood, - was reported
rather with a view to bring the Matter before th e
House out of respect for the Petitioners, than as any
evidence of the true sense of the Committee upon that
subject. As some of your subscribers may be curious
to know the extent of public sentiment with regard to
this subject, I have taken the trouble to send you an
abstract of the partitions.
From Barks, 5 petitions for a total repcal of the
law abolishing imprisonment fur debt.

Lions, 16th J lily 18453, and the law

be repealed as to prior contracts.)
" Dauphin, 1 do. do. do.
" Washington, 1 do. do. do.
" Northampton, I do. do. do.
" Armstrong, 3 (complaining of tho 20th section
as inoperative from its severity and troublesomeness to
the creditor, and praying " that no debtor who shall
decline or refuse to deliver to the proper officer pro
perty sufficient to satisfy any execution issued against
him shall be entitled to the relief provided by the Ist
sect unless he file with Froth. a statement of his es
tate, property and debts, verified by affidavit; and at
the request of creditors representing two-thirds of his
debts assign all his property to trustees fur the benefit
of all his creditors, except articles exempted from
levy and sale by existing laws.")
From Fayette, 1. Remonrtraire against repeal.—
The foregoing is about the whole amount of public
sentiment presented to the House in the way of peti
tions, and without presuming to have any gift of pro
ishirey, I.may say it is not likely any part of the net will
be touched this session.'exeept perhaps one provision
which will compel the debtors to give security for
the money in order to obtain a stay of execution, where
his property is delivered bads to him.
As this matter affects the interests of the trading
people, I have thus slated it to you, as furnishing all
the light I have upon the subject.
The House have occasionally for a few days past,
moved a step or two in the discussion of what are cal
led Mr. Cooper's Resolutions. The amount of these
resolutions is, to sell the public walks to—cave,
there's the question?) which he, as a matter of fancy,
of course, says will bring *2o.ooo,ooo—and then for
the balance he proposes to take a long leap—not ex
actly to the moon; but to Cost Johnson's 200,000,000
scheme. Now suppose both his projects were passed,
as the great panacea, and the House adjourned? would
it not be tantamount to doing nothing at all to most the
existingliabilities of the state? I think the scheme is
pretty well understood here as a Whig humbug, calcu
lated to lead away the sober sense of the people by
delusive promises, intended to promote the election
of H. Clay, and then to he violated.
Nxw 011.1.1:•N5 NIARICET.—Tho Picayune of the
4th represents the money and produce markets as ra"th
et dull. There is at that port a larget number of tine
ships now idle, than were ever before known to be at
any one port. which is attributed to the attempts mak
ing to force up the price of cotton by artificial means,
which has thrown out of employ the greater propor
tion of the commercial marine, with the mechanics and
laborers who depend thereon for employment.
Another, the large quantities of cotton arriving here
Gum the neighboring seaports: this latter branch of bu
siness should admonish the speculator of the danger
of holding on too long and of going too far, lest the
spinners should adopt measures which will counteract
the designs of speculators. It is a very novel sight to
see large ships arrive at New Orleans from sea with
full cargoes of cotton.
There appears to be a pressure in the money mar
ket, in consequence of which Exchange has declined.
BANK Norgs.—Exchange still continues to improve
slightly. Consolidated, the demand is small but the
rates are firm. Citizens' is active, and 39 discount is
now obtained. Commattiq'tffttrAtchafaly continue
dull. There is a fair demand for improvement and
prices slowly advancing. Orleans, no alteration.
Alabama we now gnats at 6 a 7 discoiint.
Kentucky has given way—now selling at. discoUnt.
Large quantities of Western Produce continue to
be received, principally for shiptnent to Northern
ports, and the consequence has been a futther advance
in the rates of freight,which exercises a depressing in
fluence upon prices.
SUGAR. In Louisiana there has been a moderate bu
siness done, and the market though tolerably firm, ex
hibits much less buoyancy of character than last week.

MOLASSES.—The demand has been very active at
23 cents per gallon, and it is difficult to buy at that
price. On plantation it sells at 20 cents per gallon.
We are happy to learn that Mississippi has taken
up the subject of taxation, and it is probable from the
disposition at present manifested, that means will be
provided to increase her revenue. We trust thesemea
sures have in view the liquidation of the State debt.—
Some of the members of the Mississippi Legislature
evince a desire to rely upon the Sinking Fund and up
on the Railroad Bank. Wsth regard to this method,
one of the Natchez papers has the following:
"ff the Legislature intends paying the Planter's
Bank Bonds, taxation is the only means by which it
can be done' Even the most sanguine have very little
faith m the ability of tho State to realize much out of
the Sinking Fund and the Railroad Bank. Besides
the amount diie
.on the State Bonds, we observe by the
report of the Auditor that there were outstanding war
rants upon the Treasurer, amounting on the first day
of January to the,
enormous sum of six hundred and
fifteen thousand dollars, and that the interest now fall
ing due on the fended warrants, has to be paid by an
inure of new warrants: This, with the expenses tithe
Legislature at its present session, will swell our debts
for warrants alone, to More than seven hundred thou
sand dollars—a sum greatly mbre than will ever be re
alized out of the Sinking Fund and the Railroad Bank.

in the Senate, to-day, the bill to restart,' to General
Jackson the finie imposed on him at New !Orleans was
considered. The amendment proposed hy the Judi
ciary Committee, providing that nothing in the Bill
should be construed in express or imply a censure on
on the character or conduct of Judge Hall, by whom
the fine was imposed, was voted clown, after a few re
marks by Mr Berrien in favor of the amendment, and
by Messrs Foster, Allen and Walker in opposition to
it. Mr Miller Made some remarks touching the reso
lutions of his state instructing him to vote for the bill.
lie deinied the right:of the legislature to instruct him
on any questiort; and declared his intention to vote
against the bill.. He voted for the proviso of the Judi
ciary committee, which was rejected by a vote of 26 to
18. The bill was then postponed till to-morrow, to
enable Mr'Woodbridge to define his position towards
it, and give the reasons which will influence his vote
against it. Tbe bill changing the time of holding the
Circuit Courts of the United States at Wheeling and
Clarksburg for the western district of Virginia, and the
circuit court cf the district of Arkansas, was passed.
The hill providing for the insane hospital in the District
of Columbia also passed. Mr Huntington occupied
the rest of the day in finishing his remarks in defence
of the present protective tariff system. Tho subject
was then laid on the table, at the instance of Mr Ber
rien, with the understanding that such a disposition of
it would not preclude further discussion upon it here
after.
The discussion on the report of the Committee of
Elections was held in the House. Messrs Hera[son,
Bowlin, Stiles and Dromgoole supported the report;
and Messrs. Schenck, Barringer and Barnard opposed
it. The Iluus6 adjourned at 8 o'clock.
From th i e New York Sun
NORTH AMERIC•N TRUST •ND BANKINO COM PA
NY.—Considentble interest has been created during
tiro past week by a statement from the Receiver o f '
the No th American Trust and Banking Company—a
statement which has been anxiously looked for, and
devetopes a most extraordinary system of managing
an institution in which widows , orphans, minors, me
chanics, merchants and others,had invested largo sums
of money, and in many instances had mortgaged all
the real estate they possessed. The statement pf the
manngeMent and systems pursued in the late Bank of
the United States, made a powerful impression on the
people, and plunged thousands in irretrievable ruin,
but in the case of the Bank it was the result of the
mismanagement of years; its speculations and loans
iii the ordinary business transactions of that institution;
but the North American Trust was utterly ruined in
eighteen months after it went into operati.m, and from
the published statements it would appear as if it was in
tended, from its very origin, to be used for the special
and personal benefit of the individuals who had assu
med its management. The capital onthis institution,
it appears, never exceeded $3,285,900, secured by
the bonds and mortgages of individuals. A n immense
amount of property; mach of it consisting of wild and
unproductive lands; was brought to that Company,and
by some means managed to have a fictitious
valuation attached to it, and mortgaged to the Compa
ny, the ownersteceiving stock or bonds in payment,
which were solditt 'tuitions sacrifices in the market.—
The Company speculated in merchandise,' which was
shipped abrmd and sold at a great loss, also stocks
and securities of various kinds; but their real banking
lasses were considerable. It is impossible to go over
the details of five closely printed columns of state
ments and figures, to show all the business transac
tions of the Company, and the ruinous loans made to
irresponsible Individuals An agent sent to London
charged $45,000 fur his services, and claims $15,000
more, and a batch of counsellors anti 'tummies received
fur advice and draw ing up papers $44,000! All kinds
of trash were received as securities, and finally when
the whole affair blew up, as they must all have knew
would be the case, nothing tens handed to the" Receiv
e! but a few chairs and desks, and ono imperfect spe
cie dollar. The assets had been transferred to them
selves and their friends, until the decree of the Chan
cellor placed the whole concern into the hands of a
Receiver, who now makes this statement to the world.
Whether any . judicial enquiry will be instituted rela
tive to the mismanagement of this Cot pica? lint, we are
unable to say. The persons in charge of n trust in
which the property of poor people and innocent stock
holders was invested, and which ha, hear wantonly sn
criticed, are all men of di , ttincti•tri mad inflll,./WC in the
busine.ts and political wet-hi—all hold up their heads
high in this community, and pass be a citizen with cool
indifference, whale house nr farm or all he possessed
nn earth, have been sunk in this Corporation. Wed°
riot dotty that institutions may be unfirtunate by loans
made in calamitous times, and upon doubtful security.
Banks have lost half their capital by mien inagement,
and yet have been able to retrieve their losses, a n d
finally become sound institutions; hut it would appear
that the North American Trust received cash, real es
tate and merchandize, and gave in return its stock and
bonds. The stork and 6.1133 are literally worth noth
ing in the hands of their own-re, while the cash mer
chandize and other securities have nearly all vanish
ed. Although a capital of nearly three millions of
dollars have disappeared, yet it seems that the Cam.
pany had only el9BO of itsnotes in circulation. The,
Company does not owe depositors $25,000 and only
$l2OO to cletks, officers, &c., nothing to the Comp
troller for notes, consequently its legitimate banking
operations amounted to nothing of consequence. Is
it surprising that our citizens have great apprehensions
of the stock market, and are unwilling to subscri'-e to
the stock of any new institution in viewing such re
sults?
GENERAL JACKSON
Kendall's Expositor, in allusion to a letter recently
published, which spoke of the extreme exhaustion of
General Jackson, partly brought about by the crowd of
visitors at the Hermitage on, the Bth of January and
the consequent excitement, remarks upon the subject
BA follows:
"That the nccount given in this letter is in the main
correct, we have no reason to doubt; bin that the wri
ter over estimates the exhaustion of the General on the
Bth, we have the most conclusive evidence. It is in
the shape of a hatter from the General hiniself, tilted
9th January, covering three pages of ordinary letter
paper, closely written with a steady hand and in a
rigorous style. In this letter he speaks of "an in
cessant run of company" and his "a f fliction and debil
ity;" but makes no further remark about bis health.
In previous levers, however, he has spoken of a con
stant cough and pain in his side, which were gradually
wearing away, and it is evident that he cannot last
long; although we trustand believe he will receive a tri
bute of a just and grateful country, in the finial passage
of the Bill to refund the fine unlawfully imposed on him
for enforcing military law in defence of New Orleans.
That gratification, we are quite sure, Heaven has yet
in store for him, and having received it be will die in
peace with God and man."
FROM BUENOS AYRES
The bark Serene, Capt Adams, at New York on
Sunday nightlast. brings news to the 30th of Novem
ber. She brings the car go of the ship lit tuns, stranded
in Buenos Ayres in the gala of October. Montevideo
was still besieged and blockaded, and it was thought
that the place could not hold out much longer. At
Buenos Ayres all was quiet. Hides cost on board say
24 to 25 lbs. 11 cents; lighter weights were difircult to
be got and to j cents more. Wool was scarce and
at high rates. Nutria had risen 100 per cent. since
last year, and but few in market, as they are prohibited
being killed during the present. We continue to hear
of atrocities cummitted by the brute, Roses.
We learn from the Journal of Commerce, which has
dates to the 25th Nev. inclusive, that a heavy skirmish
took place outside Montevideo on the 17th inst. when
Garribaldi and the young Italy men came in contact
with Col Costa. The loss of the besieged in killed is
sepposed to be great. Col Neira who got his friends
into the scrape, lost his life.
Rivera, who six weeks ago solemnly promised his
pent-up partisans in Montevideo, that he would imme
mediately fly to their relief, was a few days since, on
the Quegusy Chico, at the opposite extremity of the
Republic, evidently at a loss what fresh stratagem to
adopt.
_ Don Santiago Vasquez invited"the Bridshriserchatits
of Montevideo to meet at his private residence, on the
21st.; only 15 attended The object was wroncy o and .
Vasquez harangued the meeting at length, stating that
intelligence had been received from Rivera, who, with
a large force of cavalry *as marching tArards:the
town and might be expected in 6 or 8 days. That in
the meantime the Government woratin thegreatest pe
rnlrrorn,
canary distress. not having the to provide ra
tions for the troops pf the ga ' . expense of
which was $4lOO per diem: that on the arrival of Riv
era a decisive ; battle would be fought. Vasquez's
pleading, however, was unavailing, as the merchants
declined to give the government any furthes pecuniary
assistance. •

JUST PUBLISHED,
Waadcriags of a Journeyman Tailor
Through Europe and the East, during 1324 to
1840. By D P Holthaus, Journeyman Tailor,
from tVardohl, in Westphalia. Translated
from the third German edition, by William How-
ill.
c Turs is, in every respect, one uf the most re
markable books ever published; the must re
markable, perhaps, with the exception of Holman, the
blind traveller's narrative. The author, a bona fide
working railer, set out from his native village in true
German fashion; and, as his translator says, actually
'sewed his way' through these three quarters of the
world. There is much of what the French call naviete
in his narrative; but there is also foreign life and fo
reign manners among the poorer and middling classes
seen under a new and a curious aspect. It Is scarce
ly conceivable the sympathy that will be felt by the
reader as he roams along with the light hearted wan
derer, now in sunshine, now in storm; at one time star
ving with cold and hunger, at another time smacking
his lips with the gusto or a finished gourmand at the
good food of which he had just partaken; presently
footsore and lame—'dead beat'—to use the phrase of
the hunting field; anon 'fresh as a daisy,' recruited, in
vigorated, and hearty, but always cheerful, resigned,
and not unhappy; and never in privation or plenty, fa
tigued or distressed, egotistical, like too many of those
travellers who call themselves his 'betters.'
Taken together, if the reader does not rise from the
perusal of this volume 'a better and a wiser man,' then

for patience, for endurance, or far enterprise in his
mind."—London paper.
