THE 110ARD OF TRADE AND THE BANK RUPT LAW. Via publish.?! on Monday a petition, adopt ed by tho Board of Trade, at a meeting hold on Saturday night, nddroPBed to tho Senate of tho united Stites, praying that tho Bankrupt Aot which baa recently passed the House, may notbocomo a law. Wo regard tbo action of tho Board of Trado as unfortunate, and will give our rea sons. Tho mooting of Saturday night was an extra meeting; tho notice was vory short, having been only insortod in tho journnle of tho samo day, aud consequently tbo attend ance was very small. The night itself was unpropitious; reoout arrangements among tho jobbing mord?ante having devoted Saturdays, after two o'clook, to rest and recreation. Tbo consequence was that the "one hundred and fifty firma" wero ropresentod by twenty six membors present, of whom only ?sixteen ? votod for the petition-a fraction over ten per cent, of the business houses represented. ID addition to theso serious objeodons to the meeting, their aotion in memorializing Con gross at all is vory questionable. It appears to us that our merchants -hould not humiliate themselves by asking either House of Con gress to conBidor views coming from a section unropresonted in tho councils of the nation. The very presentation of the petition must bo done by a member from ?some other State, and if received by Congress, which we think quite doubtful, would be an unwilling con descension on their part. _ Those objections, however sound, are of snir.l? importance compared with the sorious opposition we feel bound to urgo against the views expressed by the memorial. A:;d wa disclaim in advance, ^/or the merchants of Charleston and the community at large, the hasty and inconsiderate action of this hand ful of gentlemen. The memorial fails to point out any ob jectionable features in the Bankrupt Aot. In fact, the speakers, who urged the adaption of the petition admitted that they were ignorant of the provisions of the bill. We must, then, regard tho action of the Board as committing them against all bankrupt laws, which position waa most emphatically taken by one of those who spoke in defence of the memorial. Now we cannot believe that this 'IB the deliberate judgment of the commercial oommunity of Charleston. In almost every country, claiming to be civilized, bankrupt laws exist In almost every Stato in this Union insolvent laws have Ummmm in nnnrati on fnr v?n.ra Tho .,--:?-*, orude and barbarous notions concerning the rights of creditors, havo everywhere given way before tho march of enlightenment and the better judgment of modern politioal ooonomista. Those bloody statutes which consigned the debtor, among the Romans, to a speoieB of servitude worse than their own savage system of slavery, and which, even in polished Athens, delivered the dead body of the debtor to his rapacious oreditors, were gradually modified in time, until ?it hut it be gan to break upon the minde of legislators and jurists that the debtor had rights as well na the creditor. The Jewish dispensation, in this respect as in BO many others, shines out in beautiful oontraBt to the legislation of other nations of antiquity. Every seven years the debts contracted between Israelites were cancelled, and at the Jubilee all debts, without exception, were abrogated. Tho first improvement upon the cruel and stupid laws of antiquity is to be found in the law of "oession," introduced by the Christian Emperors. By this law, if the debtor sur rendered his entire property he was dis charged. From that time to the present this subject has re?oive-, tho attention of every consider ate writer on law and politioal economy, and bankrupt laws have been enacted by every civilized nation in the world. BLACKSTONE says, with equal truth and feeling: "At presont, laws of bankruptcy are considered as laws calculated for the benefit of trade, and founded on principles of hu manity as well as justice; and to that eod they confer some privileges, not only on the creditors, but also on tho bankrupt or debtor himself." And again: "If by accidental calamities, as by the loss of a ship in a tem pest, the failure of brother traders, or by the non-payment of persons out of trade,'a mor cbaat or trader beoomos incapable of dis charging his own debts, it is his misfortune and not his fault." When commerce began to be proporly un derstood and conduoted in England, in the time of HENRY VIII., tho first statute wa? passed on this subjoot. Tho prinoiplo thus settlod has been carriod out through various nota of Parliament, down to the prosent timo. 'J he samo course baa been adopted by all other European nations, and tho important features of the laws in various oountrios are substantially tho same. The modern idoa on the 6ubjeot may be ex pressed aa follows: The honest but unfortu nate debtor who surrenders hie entire eBtate to his oreditors, is discharged from his obli gations, and his -future labor, energy, and talents are left free, for the benefit of bia family, his oountry, and himself. That this is the sentiment of the people of this country, is fully shown by the vory g0neral expree ?ion of opinion by the press, by the numeroa. petition? sent to Congreas on the subjoot pending the discussion, and by the notloea in tbo oommeroial papers whioh havo appeared subsequent to the passage of the act by the House. It thoroforo cannot bo doubted that tbo opposition to all bankrupt laws exists only on tho part of tho Bixtoen gentlomon who voted for tho momorial on Saturday night. Lot us noxt oonsidor tho momorial itsolf. Tho petitioners considor that tho demorali zation caused by tho war rendors tbo country unfit "to meet tho law in a propor spirit." Wo presume tho framor of tho memorial means that dishonest bankruptcies will bo tbo rulo, and honest failures tho exception. "Wo cannot seo tbo matter ?u this light. Wo dony thut tho character of our ponplo is demoral ized by tbo war. Wo point to tim general honesty and good faith prevailing through out the South during tho war. Then all latos woro suspended, and commercial transactions ?vero reokoned by millions; yet obligations wera generally met with promptnobe, and oases'of fraud woro extremely raro, if, in deed, thoy ever occurred. War is undoubtedly a great ovil, but wo are yet to leam that it renders men dishonest. If thoro ever was a timo when a bankrupt law was needed, and if there ever was a peo ple whose condition demanded tho passago of this, or a similar not, this is tho time, and we of tho South oro tbo people. Thousands of our beBt men havo boen ruined by the casual ties of war-the destruction of their property, and the emancipation of thoir slaves. It is precisely for such a state of things that bank rupt laws aro intonded. Those who have been ruinod by misfortune ought not to labor all their lives to pay debts, many of which ore owiug to men who have devastated our land with firo and sword. Let our poople como forward honestly, give up what they have, nnd commonco life anow. The general prosperity of the community will thus be stimulated, our energies developed, and work will be cboerfully dono, because mon will feel themselves emancipated from the slavory of debt. On the other hand, if any attempt at fraud is made, the insolvent loses the beno fit of the act, and lives a dishonored man. It is thus the interest of all to be honest. And in this spirit we believe our people will re ceive the Bankrupt Law as a boon second only to liberty itself. The creditor has nothing to lose. Ile is usually a capitalist, and will benefit much more by the revival of commerce, and the in creased productivo energy of the community, untrammeled by debt, than be could possibly lose by the successful fraudulenoy of Borne diBhonost debtor. So far from State repudiation being a con sequence of the bill, we think Buch a course will be rendered impossible by the very mea , sure in question. A community liberated I from debt will be able to contribute more largely, through taxation, to State and national revenue. The insolvent laws of tho several States are not sufficient for the ocoa ?\v,u. A noir operation IUUKS more to tne cre ditor than the debtor. - The honest but unfor tunate debtor cannot, under State laws, com pel the oreditor to permit him to become a bankrupt. Our ancestors paw the necessity of conferring upon Congress the power to regulate bankruptcies. It is a powor in herent in the nature of supremo sovereignty, and has been wisely used by the present IIOURO of Representativos for tho benefit of the whole nation. We trust the Senate will soon pass the bill, and entitle itself to receive from the country tho meed of praise which has so generally fol lowed its passage by the House. TO RENT, &o.

The Profes sor solected for me a pair of his Australian Crystal Glss-< H which oro of a very superior quality and work. manaliip, roudurlng vision very dlatlnct, almost as per fect as lu youth. 1 yield this testimony in favor ot the Professor's QlasscB most cheerfully. E. GEDDINGS, M. D. I cheerfully concur in the opinion above expressed of tho value of Professor Bnuuasuf Glisses, and their adaptability to all defoc'.s of VIBIOD, and also to his skill and jndgmont lu adapting the glass to each special im perfection. H. W. DESAU8BUBE, M. D. CHARLESTON, 8. O, Moy 28th, 1806. I do moat willingly bear my testimony In favor of the superiority of the Australian Crystal-Ringln and dou ble vision spectacles ovtr all other kinds. They are constructed upon the best established and understood principien of optics, and tbolr adaptation to tho human eje in its different conditions of vision is so perfect, as to render eight eaay without effort. In my opinion, none others should bo used sinco the eyes once used to those do not seem to grow old, and by having a focus at auy point of the surface, they appear to rest o'er the eyes to their youthful energy.
