' 1 > back to the House for the corree- | on of (lie error, there peon is to be no; kid i hood of any change l?y that body 1 : to the merits of the measure. The1! :tiou of the House seems to have *en induced by the presentation of a ' idely circulated memorial which was nt up from nil points of the country j' id wliich set forth all the leading! . feets of the present JJankrupt law.; liese ure tlius presented iu one of, le memorials; j * "First?the original intent of the!( tnkrupt law, as now framed, was to! ( i'eet a prompt and equitable division ; ^ the bankrupt's estate among his!( 'editors, and to allbrd relief to honest | , id unfortunate debtors, and to those; ' i.............. 1 IIV. in ?? v: a i < it i j ?iit it docs not prevent fraudulent reference-', ami the possibility of ob-j ininga discharge without payment! i full, is :t constant temptation to' ishonest persons to contract large hts, and then seek a dischargeunder! lis aet, or a compromise oil part pay- j eiit; and we regret to represent that lis course of action is often facilitated f the collusion of creditors and dis-j ;>nest attorneys. The honest debtor, who through ad- j ?rsity becomes unable to pay his ?bts,* seldom resorts to the relief of red by this act; his creditors as a lie are liberal in granting him exten on of time to pay his obligations, or i compromising their claims. For it the interest of merchants to assist ??/? /vf* tn n ,VU?.^ V I UV/if\.OV VIVVIVIM, % % ?" L'lp them to continue business, and r such no bankrupt law is needed. Second?All bough the act was in nded to eliect an expensive and teedy distribution of tiie baukrupt'* itate, in practice however,itis a well riown fact that the dividends toered ors are exceedingly .small, and the lyment thereof long delayed. In ir experience, creditors collected rior to the passage of this act a much rger percentage on their bad debts lan they have received since, not-1 ithstanding that it might happen latin particular cases some creditors y their diligence acquired a prefer ice over others. Upon this point careful estimates ave revealed the fact that the average jrcentage of dividends from the cs tus ui uaiiMU[H uieiuiiaui? pnwi iu j le passage of 11:i? ;?ct were about | lirty-fivp per cent., ami that since its . tssage this average ha* been reduced about ten per cent., certainly not ( ;ceedtng twelve per cent. Third?The practical e fleet of the t mkrupt law has been to destroy con- ( leiice on the part of capitalists, and ] image the credit system. As a nat al consequence, capital accumulates the money centers, it stagnates ere, causing paralysis in nearly all , e great productive industries of the [ untry. We regard the operations o! j is law as one of the leading causes c the prostration and emburra-sment . at now depress trade, and it is sus ptible of demonstration that this j presslon and embarrassment com L'nced with the passage of the bank pt aet in 1807." i lie Courier-Journal presents, we ink, a well considered reply to most these objections and urges that the fects of the existing law are not past inedv. As to the argument tha> >uest debtors may rely upon the lib alily of e i editors for an extension o: ne in making payment, and for a st compromise, it very truly suggests at one stubborn creditor may defeat cry settlement, and that whilst any viiH'erenees may be amicably tiled by private arrangement, yet ie very object, of the Jiaukrupt law, indeed of all law, is to force au ad stmeiit of the allairs of those debt 's who cannot come to an agreement, lie existence of the law cannot allect e interest of those debtors who art >le to make an adjustment with eso creditors, and its aid need only invoked where a settlement cannot nieably be made. As to the smallness of the dividend? alized under tlie .Bankrupt Act com ired witli those obtained before il. issage, it is urged that this is owin? ore to the character of the busine.-s, ul the speculative tendency of tin ;e, than to any management of the ets under the bankrupt law. Those hy trade now on a capital just sutti L'lit to furnish a margin for specu lion aim cannot nope 10 uiriii.su im 11 epereentage of assets as the honest 1 ider, who had actual capital in- ' steel, ^ As to the argument drawn from the 1 ostration and embarressment ol * ule which commenced since the '! ssageof the i>ankrupt Act of 1307. ^ is the old argument of coufoundin<j c* use and eflect, with a mere co-inei-j ' nee of time. A hundred causes J1 iv be assigned for the decline ol , siness, without recurring to the 11 Liikrui?t Act. Kaiilcrtipt laws seem => be a necessity in all mercantile * inmunities, and it seems to be bettei _ make changes in the existing stat- :i s, to meet existing defects, rathei 1 in by a total re]teal, to place the e L>tor class at the mercy of the cred- ' r ' .

The circular letter of the Spanish dinister of Foreign Allaire, takes a ;ery hopeful view of the tdtualion in This memorandum is intended o put an entirely dill'erent face upon natters in Cuba.

Their army eontaius scarcely ight hundred white Cubans, while nolo than forty thousand of the latter ire serving with the royal volunteers. Spain cannot come to terras with any such elements. She can only, after aving obtained a complete victory, jrant to Cuba all the liberties which, nit for the insurrection, she would dready possess, and which the neigh boring island of Porto Kico, where slavery has been "entirely abolished, "ully enjoys." Within twelvemonths, he memorandum proceeds to say, wenty-eight thousand troops have )L>en sent from Spain to Cuba to quell he insurrection, which it represents las been unavoidably prolonged by eason of the difficulties of Lhe eoun ry. lint, it adds that, notwilhstund ug the insurrection, the trade of the stand has gone on increasing until it las doubled in the last ten years, over .even of which have been years of .var. Lawlessness in Edgefield. The Advertiser states that "certain leg roes, living on the plantation of Vlajor Tilnmn Watson, now rented by VIr.
