[Front (bo Pblladel|?fala Chronicle ] The followmx passage* are extracted from the voluminous reoort recently made to the British Parliament, by tho Commis sioner* on the law of Real Proporty."A portion, by no means inconsiderable, of the litigation reflecting reel property in courts of equity arises from defective contracts upon sale and purchase, and from a speci fic performance being decreed where the requisites of tho statute of fraud* have been disregarded. It is thought worthy of se rious consideration, whether it should be permitted to any person, in any way eith cfatlaw or in equity, to claim any inter est in Isnd unless under s written instru ment, containing the terms of the contract, and signed by both tho parties or their au thorised agents. Provision may be made for the indemnity of purchasers who have lieen induced to lay out money in improve ments ou tlie faith of agreements not, valid in law. They are inquiring whether the length of deods, which causes much ex pense and perplexity, may not be materi ally abridged by making Certain powers and obligations legal incidents to certain estates and interests to which they are now almost uniformly annexed (though we feel this to be matter of much delicacy.) or by recommending proscribed forms of con veyance, to whicn in certain cases, a given effect shall he imputed. The existing law* respecting do vines appear to the commiss ioner* to be very incongruous and defectivo and they are employed in considering whether there may uot be one form pre scribed for the execution of all wills; whe ther all Interests in real property m?*y not be made devisable whether there bo any objection to nllow a will of reality, {ike a will of no penality, to operate when fram ed for tliut purpose, upon all property of which the tcst&k ?r may die seixod, though acquired after tho execution of the will; whether desseisin or tho deveatment es tate*. or any act done by tho testator with out the intention to revoke hi* will *bould interfere with the exercise of hi* testamcn tory power; and whether *ome amend ments may not bo proposed in the rule* for the construction of will* in eases in which experience teaches that the legal interpre tation of certain form* of expression is at variance with Uiaseiise in wliicfr these form* are ordinarily used, whereby litigation may l>e diminished, and there may he a greater probability of the Uetator'* intention being eff ectuated. They further think it deserv ing of consideration, whether a modo mav not bo provided of trying the validity of a will ol leasehold laud* by jury. instead of talking decided by the opinion ofthcjiidsc of an cccleftia*tical court, formed upon writ-1 ten depoHition*.?But no inea*ure ha* been (suggested to u* from ho many different quarter*, or has been so earnestly pressed upon us, a* a general registry of deed*, whereby it i* contended that every trans fer of land, and every incumbrance upon it would l>o placed within the mean* of knowledge of every person having occa sion to deal wiUi it; all rights might be suffered to prevail (as natural justice re quires) according to their priority; the use of oustanding legal estates, and the ex pense of keeping thom on foot and transfer ring them would ceaso: the investigation titles would bo materially abridged and sim E lifted, and fraud in all transactions rcspec ng teal property would bo effectually pre vented. We are aware, howevor, of the numerous and weighty obstacles which present themselves to the establishment of a plan so extensive, and- in order to make it effective, so novel in tliis country .?The experiments which have been tried in two hnglish counties and in Iroland have lieen so imperfect, both in principle and detail, and have bcon so marred by tho doctrine of equitable notice, that they afford no crite rion of the utility of tho measure or tho means of accomplishing it. We found that information upon this important subject must be sought, not merely from the prac titioners of Rnglish law and from English treatises, but from Kcotland, where a gene ral registry has been long established, which is the great boast of the law of that country, and from the continental states, in many of which a similar institution has been introduced with more or low kuccom. We have taken steps for obtaining this in formation in the wont authentic nhaiH?; and we shall anxiously consider whether the plan can l>o safely adopted in a country of ftogroalaoextentas England, where trans-1 fers of land are more frequent than in an other part of tho globe, w hero the law of raaLproperty must ever remain a peculiar and complicated system, and where the disclosure of private affairs may be danger ous to commercial credit*.

CAPTAIN HALL, ON SLAVERY. , " In talking of emancipation. people arc ] apt to forget various little difficulties which stand in the win. In the first place, the slaves are to nil intents and purposes, the property of the whites. They have been legally ncquiml, they are held Ityalh, and tin iiroducc of their la'Mtur foi ins the right* ful fortune c.f their masters. To enter the , warehouses of planters, and rob them of their rice or cotton, would not be one whit I more unjust than taking away the slaves' whose labour brings it out ol the ground Suppose, however, that difficulty removed, HtiU that h ?'<jiit|H:iisatioii coo 1(1 l>c piovidtd i for the slave-holder, what is to become of the liberated uegroi?> What is to be done I with two million* of ignorant persons, I brought up, us their fathers and ancestors i we re, in bodily and mentul bondage?who have acquired habits ot thinking and feel ing suitable to that state but totall) unfit for any other It j* ?.,id to be less difficult to make a sf-sve of h fre? man, than to raise a tlat e tr a just knowledge of freedom. And certainly experience in America gives no reason to hope that this maxim is there re ... hL inerVrt '* breaking the chains will not do. 1 he rivets that hitve so long held down the understanding cannot be driven out. till some contrivance be found which shall at the same time eradicate all P*** ?nd all associations ?lth'h.plc^MM.?0f,K, world, from the minas not ot the blacks alone, but also of the whites. If we examine this matter difficulty increas and motives to actlon^such as they ?kU not from the spontaneous or rcgultted im* pul>e of his own faculties, but by the super! people to verr cilffVrcqtljr circumstanced catrtw admitted itancc to the common priv ilege* of hiiW?Or, Iwr oe the other hand, cud it be expected thai the i of theae slaves who. like their tathmra be fore them, have derived their whole aub ?tance from thta aource?who look, to it at a provision tor their rtncehriinf lid who know that their title la etrletfy a legal oae, can be willing to allow of such interference aa a|ull have a direct tendency to withdraw from them the whole cum and subetance of their fortune#.* It is the popular fashion to America, andl btlWri elsewhera, to abuta these overseers M a class. But none of my enquiries led me to think ao Ul of them by any means as I had heard them reported. Their interest, as Well as tliat or the planters in the long run, is, unquestionably, to use the slaves well. An overseer who acquires a character for undue severity, is much scouted, and sooner [or later discovers that his services are not Ivalucd or sought after, merely because be produces less effective work than nmoreju* riicinusperton would da Negroes, like many other people, may be driven to perform a oer tain |?ort ion of labour* but as no amount of ty ranny can carry things permanently bevond that point, custom seems to have establish |ed in the slavcholdinc states of America, a particular method of treatment whleh is found to produce the greatest result 1 have much satisfaction accordingly, lu stat ling, that after many careful enquiries, 1 uu?v i." iiiwwi m lujipaw unnecessary k* vci ity i? l?y any mean* general In America. | The idea of cultivating the see-ioasta and indeed nny part of the low districts of the I southern states, by white labour, I regret to say, appear* quite visionary; and I only mention it because such notions ere some* times hmtKht ?? rward by the opponent* of slavery. Lvery thing I heard In the south respecting the climate* showed this to be impossible. Whether my informers were planters, or met chants, or mcdlcM men, or ?tranger?, or advocates for slaver)-, or the contrary, our uniform opinion was exprese* ed on this point. There seems therefore, to be no choice left between abandoning the fertile countries in question, or having them cultivated by negroes ? ?????? All cxpcricncc, therefore, 1 wa? assured went to prove that moderate tasks, strict superintendence, with uniform kindness, in the ordinary style of the country, was bv far the best way to get useful service out of the negroes?it being always borne in mind, that a slave will work as little as he can. 1 was much gratified by finding that these gene rous and politic principles were very gene rally nctcdupon f?y the American planters. Thecxceptions?it was curious to hear?are most frequently found amongst the new comtr* from the northern states of the uni on, or from Kngland?those very persons who, on their first arrival, have had least patience with slavery under any modifica tion * 1'topic who are inconsiderate enough to abuse a whole system, without taking the pains to distinguish between what is inevi table and what is remediable, and not likely to be more reflecting when these distinctions become apparent. 1 made particular enquiries as to the fact of parents and children being scpernted as well as husband* and wives, when families are sold. And I wan glad to And, that this is discouraged us much as possible, not only as a matter of feeling and propriety, but as a matter of interest. ? ?????? Every person who has examined this question on the spot, knows that any system of measures calculated to be useful to the negroes, must not only be gradual and con siuent, but in order to its being adapted at all, or even tried, it must be conformable to the Interests, the prejudices, and 1 may add to the habitual tastes, manncis and customs, of the planters and other white Inhabitants of that class, because In their hands?and in their hand* alone?the whole power Is placcd. It is hIso obvious, that no such system of uniform measures can be conceived to originate, still lc?.s to be maintained in wholesome operation, through a period of years, under a succession of legislatures, which are not ouly chosen annually, but are liable, as we know by experience, to a con stant rotation of new members, taken ex clusively from amongst the slave-holders, a class of nun who are naturally In the highest degree jealous of any attempts to tnmpur with a subject, npon which their for tunes and even their very live* depend. No man, under such circumstances, wh?vt" ever be his talents, could venture, in any slave-holding legislature, to touvh "??cn matters of such great delicacy. It b. vu deed, quite contrary to the nature of things, to suppo?e that, in public bodies*u construct ed, nay experiments of *o dangerous char acter Miouid be thought of, still leu that they should ever be actually put In prac tlcc. If, however, when legislative interference is sjxtken of, the authority of the general, or federal government at Washington be meant, the idea is, if possible, still more completely out of the question. Congress has not, by the terms of the constitution, the slighcM shadow of right to meddle with the internal concerns of the states, and least of all with thi?*e which relate to slavery. Any ussnmption of such pretensions on the part of Congress would be so initantane ously resisted?by actual force, If that were necessary?by the whole mass of the slave holding mates, that the idea could not exist one hour. I f such intensions of interference with the slave system should ever, by any strange infatuation, be seriously contempla ted, either bv a powerful executive, or by a majority of the member* of Congress from the non-slave-hnlding staves, the inevitable consequence would be a divLlon of the uni on It is realiy no great exaggeration of this difficulty to say, that it would be quite as simple and cfTcctnal a process for the southern members in Congress to pass a law enslaving the manufacturers or hue? handmenof New England, as It would be for those of thr north to break the chains of the negmcs In the rice or cotton districts of the sooth, or, which is held to be almost the same thing, to intermeddle with their sla very concerns in any shape whatsoever. It Is useless, then, for fort Inner* to hold the language of reproach or of appeals to America, thereby Imptying a belief In the existence of such legislative power. It Is mischievous to suppose that such Inference can be of use, became this vain belief turn* men's thoughts from these gwmlne amelio ration* which are possible, into channels where frttftanthropy as well as patriotism either ran completely to waste, er tend to contaminate stNl farther a stream already alas* turbid enough I liavc no rrfssi* ?e should look this . nrU la the face, and consider Us bearing* irkh ? MMl> prsjadiee a* poinds, Thm la no other chance for its gradual improve ment, 1 mm well convinced, bat thU calm course, which hat for It* object the db rovery of what I* paasiblo?not what I* de One of the result* which actual observa tion has left on my mind is, that their are few situations in Ure, where a man of and feeling can exert himself to better pur uose, than the management of slaves. Bo far, therefore, from thinking unklndl slave-holders, an -equaintance with t proceeding* lias tiught me to respect many of them in the highest degree; and nothing, daring my recent Journey, gave me more satisfaction than the conclusion to which I was gradually brought that the planters, of the southern Mates of America, generally speaking, have a sincere desire to mans^ their estatea with the least possible severi ty. I do not say that undue severity is no where cxenciseaj but the discipline, taken upon the average, as far as 1 could Warn, is not more strict than is necessary for the maintainance of a proper degree of author ity, without which, the whole ft ante-work of society 'n that quurter. would be blown to atoms. The first, nnd inevitable result of any such explosion, would be the destruct Ion of great part of the blaeks, and the great additional misery of those who surviv ed the revolt. In condemning sla very,ami wonting ilnvc holder*, we arc apt to forget the share which we ourselves contribute toward* the permanence of the system. It it true, we ?re tonic three or four thousands of miles from the Actual scene. liui if we arc to re proach the planter who lives in ufRutnce in the midst of a slave population, it ought to be asked how he tome* by the mean* to live at that rate. He give* hit order*to the ovei seer, the overseer, Instructs the driver, who compela the negro to work, and up come* the cot too. But what then? He cannot make the smallest use of hi* crop, however luxuriant It be, unlets, upon an invitation to divide the advantages with him, we ugrcc to become partners in this speculation,? the result of slave labour. . The transfer of the cotton from Georgia to Liverpool, is certainly one step, hut it is no more than a step, in the transaction. It hcing manufac tured into the goods which wc scruple not to make ust of, and without which wc should be very ill off*, is tint another link in the tame chain, nt the end ot which is the slave. ? ?????? In concluding this im|K>rtunt subject, I feel bound to say, that, nt far us 1 could In* vestigate the matter, the slave system of America seems to be in as Rood a condition that ia to say, in as fair n train for ami liora tlon?as the nature of mi dreadful a state of things admits of. V ith respect to external interference, the planters will probably not be the worse of an occasional hint, even though it be rude and unpalutbblc. On the other hand, the abolitionists must makt up their rulndsto suffer great, and almost con stant disappointments, lictwecn the two, impartial and cool-headed men, who, with out any particular views, sincerely wish well to thcirfellnw-creatures?hlack as well as white?planters as well as slaves?will confine their hopes, and their exertions, to what they know is practicable, consistently with Justice to all parties, and the laws of common sense." OOMWUW ICATlONtt. . j Mr. Editor?I lately visited the Iron' Foundry In York district on Broad river, once owned by Mr. Stmub. This gentle man merits much applause for the judicious choice of position and for the great improve* ments made, by unassisted individual efforts. The establishment, within a few months, has becomc the property of Messrs. Bryce, Graham, Black & Company, gentlemen all well known in this community ?rd distin gutted for personal integrity, skill and en* terprise. The Foundry is immediately on the riVer, and the intercourse hy water* to Columbia and Charleston direct and easy, as I learn, in a short time water carriage will be used, Instcud of wagons, which now ply weekly between Columbia mid that place. The mines, (in the centre of immense fccits yielding abundance of coal) are most nntagenusly situated, within two miles of the Foundry with easy portage, abound ing with grey ore of the most valuable kind as inexhaustible as it is riili, and laying within three and six feet of the surface of the earth. The bog ore (for certain purpo ses, considered so excellent) n also found in great abundance in the valleys und is brought to the forges with all facility. Iron is here fabricated into all the ordinary uten sits of agricultural and domestic use, there being great quantities of the best iron bars for wheel-tyres, as also plough-shares, pots, kettles, skillets, dutch-ovens, lev, he. daily manufactured. The works, though at present in full o|>eration, are about to under go, in the hands of these enterprising pro prietors, very Krcat enlargement. The water power is to he considerably augment ed, the torges extended and a factory added to the establishment calculated to produce a ton of nails |>cr day, which of itself alonr, j would be of invaluable benefit to our state. The whole presents quite a busy and inter-1 eating scent, as there are a great number] of men employed, and all deriving the meant of honest independence, as miners, wood-cutters, coal-makers, founder, wng onera, blacksmiths, carpenters, . 0cc.
