The law has twined a frar ful responsibility around them; they can not rfiake from them the debts of the cor poration. The opinion of many has stamped the law (makingthe individual stockholder lia ble for the whole debts of the corporation) as one of unnecessary severity, inequality, and injustice; but to me it appears one of singular propriety and good Judgment. In my opinion, no acts of incorporation for bu siness purposes should ever have been | granted. Gigantio concerns are establish ed with vast powers, who lord it over indi vidual competitors, and render the iill and industry of the latter unavailing; and these are the ftist to suffer, then the pon derous incorporations themselves; their I foundations, sapped by extravagance and inexperience, come in ruins to the ground spreadingfcavoefor and wide. If, however acts of incorporation are I granted and dissstsrs occur, it is evident that either the public or the stockholders must suffer. 8hall it be the former, who is (riven to understand) the incorporation is I wealthy and flourishing, and credits it to a I large amount! or the latter, who purchase I stock with ttoir eyes open to its liabilttise, | ?od the antidpaiion of a castle * This law, then, renders the corporate] body what it only should have ever been, I name copartnership.

I The first gleam of reason shown by the tariff people in this quarter is the suspen-1 ?km of the great autumn sale by the New England society for the promotion of man uftetares, all goods sold under whose auspi ces are free or the auction tax of one perl cent, (a most unjust and unfair law of this] slat*,) and must positively be sold at the] beetprWe. The foetory agent must also l ?ell as kiw as the auction prices, and thus a continual compstitiuu has existed between this powerful society and the individual venders: and has had the eflbet to reduce! prices of domestic manufoeturesas much as | the tariff itself. Vast Quantities of manufactured goods are now on hand, and a partner of. a south cm house states that he is offered whole I taigx* on consignment, if he can ensure a prompt sale even at a sacrifice; but has been repeatedly obliged to reftise the con-1 signments, even without sdvsnces.

It is probable that our state will l>o the first invaded, or perhaps in conjunction with Tamanlipos and Tabasco. In ehher case, it is indispensable that we put cur selves in the attitude of defence, and that our honorable Congress immediately pat* a law for the regulation of the militia, which ihall effectually remedy the insignificant one that was passed last year. Also a law which shall place at the disposal of gov ernment the resources necessary to defend as from the insults of the invaders, and to ve them a lesson which they will not soon it it respects the Congress, we hope that it will immediately convene in an extra session, to prescribe the means which ought to be adopted in reference to the circum stances in which we expect soon to be placed.?The army requires reform, and ought to be placcu on a footing of war, in the short interval which remains to us, to discipline and train iu Ami in short, mo ney is necessary, and it is indispensable that it shoald be sought where it is to be found; lor the country is entirely drained of it.

Ac cording to some indications, and even some information, the Spaniards are not the only ones with whom we shall have to contend.

Mexicans: Your Cleneral Congress hai closed Ha ordinal y session, leaving the con stitution In lull force, and having enacted lawsfavorable to the preservation of public order and national prosperity. You have aided In the accomplishment of those great labors by your conduct, which has always been in accordancc with the laws, with so cial order, and constitutional liberty.

A people tilled with a devotcdncss so noble, which has endured all the vicissitudes of a protracted revolution, that it might gain the end proposed, cannot but be convinced of the necessity ot giving stability to its po litical existence, and rendering im|?erisna> hie the glory it has acquired. It will take i for the rule of its conduct good fwitl:, union,1 hatred of civil discor^ love of industry, and respect for the laws. Then the Mexican eagle will fly above the elevated summits of our mountains; its protecting wing will se cond our efforts, and consolidate us forever in the noble liberty of Anahuae.

Buenos Ay re* was yet the seat o! civil commotion. The Muntoneros luu powwiion of every pass to the city, and were committing depredations with impu nity. The difficulties between the Buenos Ayrean government and the French squad ron lying before the city had been happily adjusted, and two vessels of war, taken by the latter, had been given up. Commer cial and other affairs were in a complete slate of confusion, and no speedy prospect of a return to order was presented. A De cree of the Buenos Ayrean Government had ordered the Bank to be closed. All the shop*, except those for the sale of pro* visions, had also been closed by order of the Government. ' FOREIGN.

Gentlemen, uyi the author, if yon cbooee to listen I will recount to you an adventure which once happened in'a cattle, which stood on the bank of a river, neara bridge, and at a short distance from a town, of which I forget the name, but which we may suppose to be Douai. The master of this cattle was humpbacked. Nature had cxhaustetMier ingenuity In the formation of his whimsical figure. In place of un> demanding she had given him an im mensc head, which nevertheless was lost between his two shoulders, he had thick hair, a short neck, and ? horrible visage. Spite of his deformity, this bug bear be thought himself of falling in love with a beautiful young woman the daughter of a poor but respectable burgess of Douai. lie iiought her in marriage and as he was the richest person In the district, the poor girl was delivered up to him. After the nup tials he was ns much to pity as she, for, be ing devoured by jealousy, he had no tran quility night nor day, but went prying and rambling every where, and suffered no stranger to enter the castle. One day, during the Christmas festival, while standing sentinel at bis gate, he was accosted by three humpbacked minstrels. They sainted him as a brother, as such askvd hlin far refreshments, and at the Mtme time ostentatiously displayed their humps. Contrary to expectation, he con ducted them to his kltchcn, gave them a capon with some l>ta?, and to each a piece of money over and above, tteforr their de partur, however, he warned them never to return, on pain of being thrown i:<to the river. I At this threat r.f the Chatrlain, the min strels laughed heartily, and took the road to the torfHishiKmK in full choni*. and danc ing in a grotesnue manner in derision. He, on his part without paying farther attention to them, went to walk in the fields. The lady, who saw her husband croes the bridge, and had heard the minstrels, called them bark to amuse her. They had not been long returned to the ensile when her hushahd knocked at the gate, by which she and the minstrels were equnlly alarmed, t'nrtnmtely the lady perceived on a bed* stead, In a neighbouring room, three empty coffer*. Into each of these she stuffed a minstrel, shut the covers, and then opened the door to her husband. He had only come back to spy the conduct of hi* wife as usual, and after a abort delay went nut anew, at which you may believe his wHt ww not dissatisfied. She Instantly ran tc tha coffers to ral?ea the prisoners, Cm night was appreaofclng, and her husband would not be wig absent. But what wui she found them sll thret however, xtw utetet*. The main object now was to get rid of the dead bodies, and the had not a moment to toooe. * W ' She ran to the gate* and seeing a peasant Kby* ehegflbred Mai a reword of thirty en* and fStadhMc htm Into the nastlc, she took him to one or the coffer*, and showing him k? rthteate, told him he inu* throw the dead body into the river $ he oaked for a sack* put the carcase into it, pitched h over the bridge into the stream and then return* (?quite out of breath to c?aim the promis ed reword. " X certainly intended to satisfy you" said the lady. " but you ought to fulfil the con ditione of the bargain?vou hare agreed to rid me of the deail body* hare you not? There, however, H is stifli" saying this, she showed him the other coffer In which the second humpbacked minstrel had expired. J At thle sight tha clown Is perfectly con founded?how the devil! comeback! a sor cerer!?he then stuffed the body iuto the sack, and threw it over the bridge, taking care to put the head down* and to observe that it sunk. Meanwhile the lady had again changed the position of the coffers, so that the third was now in the place which had been succesttlvely occupied by the two others. When the ?H'.wnt had returned she show ed him th- tr,Mining dead body?'* you are righttfricndMsaidsne14 be must l>o a ma gician, for, there he is again." The rustic gnashed his teeth with rage, " what the uevilt am X to do nothing but carry about thlaaccursed humpback?" lie then lifted him up with dreadful imprecations, nnd lim ing tied a stone round the neck, tltrew him Into the middle of the current, threatening, if he came out a third time to despatch him with a cudgel. The first object that presented itself to the clown, on his way back for the reward, waa the humpbacked master of the castle, returning from his evening walk, and walk ing towards the gate. At this sight the peasant could no longer restrain his lury? " Dog of ahumpbavk* are you there again!" So saying he sprumt on the Ckautabt ~ ed him into the ucit, ind threw him head long into the river after the minrtrtli. ?' I'll venture a wager you have not teen him this time," said the peasant, entering the room where the lady was seated. She answered that the had not: " yet you were not far from it" replied he, " be at your ease?he will not come back now." The lady instantly comprehended what had occurred, and recompensed the peasant with much satisfaction. ??I conclude from this adventure," says the Trouveur, " that money can do every thing. It i? in vain that a woman is fair God would in vain exhaust all his powers in forming her?If you have money ahe may be yours?witness the humpbacked Ctiate tain of the fabliau."?Dunlofi't Hut. of rut.
