Imprisonment for SBe?t.
From the New York Journal of Commerce.
Imprisonment for Debt. —The applica
tion of John lloruck, an imprisoned debtor,
for a discharge under the provisions of the law
exonerating the person of a debtor from im
prisonment, was heard on Tuesday last before
iiis honor the Recorder, and a jury of freehold
ers summoned on the demand of the opposing
creditors, who are foreigners residing in Eu
rope, and were represented by their counsel,
Messrs. Seaman and Cameron. Upon hcar
ingthe examination of the insolvent, and some
other testimony, the jury discharged him, un
der a direction from the Recorder to the effect,
that if tljey believe him to be without proper
ty, lie was entitled to a discharge within the
spirit and meaning of the law, notwithstand- j
ing the improper manner in which he may !
have lost or squandered his own money or that
oi others. The proceedings on behalf of the
insolvent were conducted by Messrs. Price &
Wallis.
1 lie insolvent, it appears, had been employ
ed as a clerk or agent by a commercial house
in Europe, upon the recommendation of a near
relative of his, a merchant of wealth and res
pectability, for the purpose of procuring con
signments oi goods and merchandize from this
country to Europe. And in order to enable
mm to make advances upon such consignments
the insolvent being then entirely destitute' of
property or means, he was supplied by that
house with a credit to a very large amount,
upon certain mercantile houses here, who
were authorised to negotiate the bills he might
drau, upon his depositing with them an open
•otter of a dviee )>( specifying the merchandize
to w hich the proceeds of the bills were to be
applied by way of advance, and the vessel in
'-‘.hich the same were to be shipped.
In apparent conformity to this arrange
ment lie drew bills upon the credit of his em
ployers, and received tho proceeds thereof, to
toe amount of upwards of $142,000, while
f - ic actual advances made by him on shipments
f *, c ‘ r account were only $87,001), leaving a
definency of $55,050 which he appropriated
to his own use. Upon his examination be
tore the Recorder, he accounted for about
•. 15,000 of this deficiency, in the following
manner!—His expenses in about IS months
up to the time of iiis arrest, lie estimated were
vG,,)00 ; towards which, however, received
'IOOO lrom his employers. He lost on a ship
mnd of cotton from New Orleans 8500, and
'-17 on the sale of some merchandize upon
‘-ue. l he made an advance at the same place:
1 aat he lost in the various Gambling Houses
M .Sew Orleans 82,300, and in lotteries about
O- 000: That he expended 85000 in finery,
’• resscs and jewelry, for a certain married fe
male, not his wife, who until recently was a
resident of this city, and that tbe balance due
ms employers, viz. $39,000, ho lost in garnb
*ing in this city and some of the adjacent vil
lages.
1 hat during the early part of last summer,
ipon a Sunday, ho went into a house in Ful
■on street, in company with another person,
uere lie lost SISOO at faro in the course of a
lew hours. That he afterwards lost at the
• ime place several sums of money, amount
ing to 810,000. That a house was afterwards
opened in Lumber street, and kept by the same
pel sons he had seen at the house in Fulton
street, at which he lost various large sums of
at the same game, the precise amount
<<f which he' could not state, losing never less
• nan SIOOO at a time. That he had played a
variety of games at cards,-and lost upon the
toss of a copper 820, perhaps SSO or sloo.

STATISTICS, ETC.
Under the head of Statistics, our readers
will find some very interesting Tables. We
would particularly direct their attention to the
one which shews “ the population, number
of members of the Legislature, the pay of
members per day, and their pay for one month,
in the several States of the Union.”
The facts presented by this table, demands
our serious attention. The most prominent
are as follow:
1. That Georgia, although she has a re
presentative population of 421,112 less than
the population of Ohio, sends to the Legisla
ture 111 more members, and that she pays
them, per month, $10,470 more than is paid
by Ohio!
2. That Georgia, although she has a repre
sentative population of 6(50,730 less than Vir
ginia, sends to the Legislature 50 more mem
bers, and that she pays them, per month,
$601,0 more than is paid by Virginia !
3. That Georgia, although she has a rep
resentative population of 813,467 Jew than
Pennsylvania, sends to the Legislature 83
more members, and that she pays them $13,-
950, more than is paid by Pennsylvania.
4- That Georgia, although she has a repre
sentative population of 1,417,929 less than
New York, sends to the Legislature 50 more
members, and that she pays them, per month
$11,520 more than is paid by New York! !!
5. That Georgia although she does not
rank but as the ninth State in the population
of the United States, pay -a considerably lar
ger amount of money for her Representation,
than any other State in the Union, except
Massachusetts ! I!
Can any man, after viewing this unreflec
ting and profligate waste of the peoples mo
ney contend against the necessity of redu
cing the number of our Representatives—not
only in one, but in both branches of our Legis
lature. Wc think not. If no other objections
existed, the facts which we have already pre
sented our readers, are, of themselves suffici
ently weighty and important to call for a
prompt and efficient reformation in that
branch of onrcivil polity.
The pseudo-advocates of Reduction, at
tempt to justify the neglect of our Reprcscn
tatives in obeying the expressed will of the
people on this important subject, by saying
that an alteration of the present system would
be unjust and oppressive to such counties,
where the population was so sparse, that in
the event of a reduction taking place in the
Senatorial branch, they would not, each, up
on an equable graduation of representaion to
1 population, enjoy the benefit of a Senator.
I Such an argument —it argument it can be
1 be called, which” argument “has none” —no
1 doubt strongly operates upon the counties
to which vvu allude, by the appeals which it
makes to their sclfintercst,& the undue weight
it gives to their representative character in the
legislative deliberations of the State. But let
them reflect for a moment upon the anti-rc
publican pretensions, which is set up lor them
by their interested advocates, <V tficy will then
soon be convinced that those pretensions are at
war with the very spirit, letter and genius of
tlie boasted derm •.'•rsey oforr for-t'* * on.--
1 he advocates; who object to a Senatorial re
duction, under existing circumstances, might
us well contend, that the Judiciary Depart
ment had a right to appropriate to one client
a greater number of counsellors than lo ano
ther—and that the sums rule of inequality
should prevail in all the dispensations of the
h different departments of our government.—
Such doctrine smacks too much of aristocra
cy to be congenial with cur equalising prin
ciples. It is an insidious attempt to steal a
-1 way from the people a portion of the legiti
mate'exercise of their power. To correct
this inroad upon their principles, they must
take the business into their own hands, and by
a resort to first principles, establish for them
selves an equality of representation. They
have already instructed the Legislature; but
no good has come of it. On the contrary,
like all interested bodies, who regard the
welfare of the principal as secondary to that
of the agent, our Legislature have “ paltered
in a double sense.” with the public will, and
arrested its determination,by throwing in its
way quibbling objections, for the purpose of
building up and establishing an unequal re
presentation and a legislative monopoly. Let
then, the people look to it. Let them meet
in convention—and convince those who have
abused their confidence that their suffrage is
not to be trifled with, and that the first dutv
which a representative owes to his country,
is obedience to the instructions of his consti
tuents.
RAIL ROADS.
The following striking and interesting facts
in relation to the Liverpool and Manchester
Rail Road, are taken from a late Albany Ar
gus. The Editor’s views of the superior ad-* 1
vantages of this mode of transportation over
all others,’ correspond with those we have al
ready taken of the subject. There is scarcely
a paper we open that does not contain some
interesting facts of the unequalled benefits of
the Rail Road system, and of the great exer
tions which are making in various quarters to
bring it into operation. Let Georgia too, be
“up and a doing”—and not inertly recline
ypon her oars,, passively looking at the enter
prising efforts which are distancing her in the
race of improvement:—
“Tliis rail-road is thirty- miles in length,
and has been constructed <at an' expense of
nearly live millions of dollars, and against ob
stacles of great magnitude. It had been in
partial operation six months on the first of
April; and the result of the experiment ex
ceeds the most* sanguine predictions of
its friends, It has demonstrated that rail
ways are adapted to the conveyance of
every description and any amount of goods,
as well as that of passengers—that the in
creased speed, relatively with the speed of
horses and carriages, is from 1.50 to 24)0 per
cent., the passage between Liverpool and
Manchester being performed usually in less
than one hour and a half-—and that the price
of transportation is reduced in a ratio nearly 1
corresponding with the incrcnsi and speed. But
the most striking of these results, is the mill-,
tiplication'of passengers, produced by the iri
dreastdfacilities presented by the work. At
the opening of tile rail -road, the number of
passengers conveyed between the two towns,
by all kinds of Vehicles, was 700 per day.—*
Six weeks after the work was in operation,
the number passing on the rail-road amount
ed to 1200 pi r day ; an extraordinary influx,
which is ascribed by the directors to the un
exampled ease, rapi iity anil cheapness with
which the journey is effected.
In this respect, the results of this rail-road
and that-i between Albany and Schenectady,
will be alike. If the number of passengers
is now 800 per day, it will, under the increas
ed facilities of the road, soon be COO, and
more. With the extended canal and steam
boat communication, west and south, and the
direct intercourse a’;rough this channel to
the city of Ncw-York in one direction, and to
the western towns and the lakes in another,
we know no reason why the number of pas
sengers on this route will not equal, if it does
not exceed, the number between Liverpool
anil Manchester; the inter-communication in
the latter case being nearly local, and confin
ed chiefly to the trade and intercourse be
tween the two cities. With regard to the
transportation of goods, we have little doubt
that it will supersede nearly every other mode
of conveyance, except the canal, and will take
from that a material proportion of its freight.
MR. ROBERTSON, AND VALEEV OF MISSISSIPPI
MISSIONARIES;
“ Sec, see auld Orthodoxy’s files,
She’s swingitt thro’ the city:
Hark, how tire nino-tail’d cat she plays!
I vow it’s unco pretty:
There Learning, with his Oreckish face*
Grunts out some Latin ditty;
And Common Sense is gann, she says,
To make to Jamie Beattie,
Her plaint this day.”
Our paper is neither ecclesiastical, sectari
an, or theological. We have not yet noticed,
neither shall we ever notice, any thing relat
ing to such subjects, unless they interfere with
the civil or political transactions of society.
Wo abhor the exercise of any influence over
the liberty of a man’s conscience; None but
a bigot would attempt —none but a tyrant
would enforce it. We make this explanation
for the benefit of Mr. Robertson, as itappears
he cannot appreciate our motive in repelling
the illiberal and unchristittn-like attack which
he has made upon us. We shall, however,
soon dispatch him, rrmndem artcui —and af.
ter having done so, wy presume it will be un
necessary for u: to tell him, that the cavillings
of an angry ami bitter sectarian, shall no lon
ger disfigure our columns.
To begin, then. Mr. R. passes over one of
<v'r mo't fnrnt’.dnMe objections, which charge?
the \ alley Missionaries with indelicacy and
injustice in leaving a country equally, if not
more rich and intelligent than our own, to
come here among us and levy for their sup
port contributions upon our charity. To say
the least of it, is not such a course unjust—
ami does it not argue something like a sinister
design? Acs. Because, tho people of the Val
ley are not so poor as to require our pecunia
ry assistance; nt>r so unenlightened as to de
mand our monitorial aid, or the lights of our
intellectual superiority! As little as Air. It.
may think of it, they arc better able to exer
cise their charity upon extraneous objects
than wc are; and sufficiently tolerant and en
lightened, to give us some sound examples in
the practice of common prudence and Chris
tian forbearance. 4Vhy then should they
come among us, asking for our alms and in
struction? The supposition is ridiculous- —
There is a snake under the rose!
Mr. R. denies that it is the declared object
of the Missionaries to expel the Roman Ca
tholics from the Valley of the Mississippi. To
prove that it is, we not only adduce the cir
cumstantial facts, which are embraced ly our
argument above, but wc also bring forward
the declaration of the New-Jersey paper—the
veracity of which we have no reason to doubt.
And in corroboration of that statement, we
arc informed by a gentleman, whose word can
not be questioned, that a similar motive was
urged by a Pulpit Orator somewhere in the
vicinity of Chatham county. Fortified as we
are by such evidences, it requires something
more than mere assertion to shake our unbe
lief-
In the latter part of'his epistle, Mr. R. fa
vors us with a commentary upon some of the
tenets of the Roman Catholic Church. We
are not departing from the rule which wc have
laid down for our government, when we say,
(en passant) that the gentleman is uninformed
upon the subject which he attempts to treat—
and that his assumptions are nothing more
than sectarian dogmas, which even hoary
headeil error would blush to repeat. They
display a factious and illiberal spirit, more
characteristic of the persecuting fanaticism
of the lGth century, than of the amiable and
enlightened toleration which is now so preva
lent throughout Christendom. In this sally
upon the Catholic Church, Mr. R. has permit
ted his prejudices to transport him so far be
yond the bounds of reason, that he has admit
ted by inference an assertion we charged borne
upon him in our first correspondence, but
which he notv denies —i. e. that the Catholics
were and infidels.”
In conclusion, let us too make one sim
ple suggestion.” Our conscience and our o
pinions, which wc look upon as our own pro
perty, wc intend to exercise freely, frankly,
and independently, qs lung a3 wo exists—am!
we will always be ready to correct any at
tempt that may be made to controui them by
dictation, no matter from what quarter it
comes.

BBOvnanranaiaanßi
For the Advertise*.
Mr. Slade.
As I did write my former communica
j tion with a view of entering into contra- !
versy, I cannot hut regret that any thing
should have appeared in your comment
on it that rendered it necessary for me to
reply. I shall however notice but two or j
three tilings in your remarks; and will
endeavor to be as short as the circum
stances will permit.
You say—“By their own admission, I
the object of the [Sunday School] Mis-f
sionarics appears to be, not to establish
Sunday Schools in the Valley of the Mis-1
sissippi for any intrinsic advantages which
may abstractedly grow out of them, but I
for the purpose oi' preventing thO introduc
tion of the Catholic Religion in that weal
thy and interesting section of our coun
try.” Now Sir, I ask, when and where
was this admission made ? And I v en
ture to say that it never has been made by
an authorised Sunday School Agent in
the United States. Nor has the introduc
tion of the Romish Religion ever been at
tempted to be prevented by any other
means than that of enlightening the minds
of the people —particularly the rising gen
eration, atni making them acquainted
with the word of God. And if that Re
ligion cannot live and flourish amidst the
light and knowledge of God’s word, 1 say
let it die.
The next thing I propose to notice is
your representing me as stigmatising “the
Catholic Clergy, as savages and ittjidds,”
and you say it “evinces too much of an
unbrotherly spirit—even such an one as
would support or enforce its doctrines by
the faggot and the stake.” Now I have
only to refer you to the language of my
communication to show you that such rep
resentation was Wholly gratuitous on your
part. Yon will there find that I have
not so much as mentioned or alluded to
the Catholic Clergy, Nor have I placed
that stigma upon any person or set of per
sons. I only attempted to show that the
writer might as well reason that because
savages were con cut to be savages, or
infidels content to he infidels, it was not
1 the business of other people to interfere
with them by attempting to bring them
out ol that darkness. Nor will a fair
construetion of my language, either libe
ral or literal, give it any other meaning.
Notwithstanding all this, I will not say
that there.is no .justice in what.you have
said about the bitterness of feeling which
prevails in my- pomiQunication. And I
thank you for the hint tii refrain from in
dulging in such feelings.
Rut the most-painful part of this eom
munication is to come yet. It is produced
by the necessity I am under of acknow
ledging myself so entirely deceived in
you 1 To learn that you look upon Min
isters of the Gospel, provided they col
lect funds in aid of Sunday Schools, as
Drones in Society ; yea, even as enemies
of the human race ; is necessarily painful
to me. I was altogether unprepared to
meet the statement train under your own
hand, that those men care not from whom
money comes, nor it is obtained, so they
ran but get hold of it. That they are de~
signing men who, under the sanctity of
religion, 'vould rob the poor of their hard
earned pittance. I could not have easily
have been persuaded that you w*ould not
revolt at such sdfttiments. When I see
you stigmatizing those men as sanctifed
beggars, who would thrust the poor from
their door, and treat them as though their
touch was pestilence. 1 am compelled to
h ok upon you in a different character from
that in which 1 have always viewed you.
I should have thought it altogether enough
and much more than I could have expect
ed. if I had heard you say that if the peo
ple •** t!ie \ alley of the Mississippi prefer
the Roman Catholic Religion it is notour
business to interfere. Jesus Christ says
“Search the Scriptures,” but that reli
gion says, you shall not read the Scrip
tures. God says, “ Thou shalt worship
the Lord thy God, ft him only shalt thou
serve hut that religion makes the Vir
gin Mary an object of religious worship.
It even exalts her above God, and says,
oftentimes the pastors and ministers a
bandon the care and conduct of sinners ;
sometimes their guardian angels forsake
them ; trod himself turns away his face
from impious beings. .Mary alone the
mother of grant and mercy, rejerts not
the sinner. That religion commands iis
to ask pardon of God lor our sins, “thro’
the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour,
the blessed virgin and all the saints.”—
That religion addresses St. Francis Xa
vierus, as The life, of the dead, health
of the sick, sight of the blind, refuge of
the miserable, whose power the sea and
tempest obey, whose command the sea
and all the elements reverence.” And
these are a very few, probably not a tenth
part of the impious, God dishonoring ele
ments of which that religion is composed.
But you say it is not onr business to in
terfere by carrying light to those who are
in danger of being gulled into a connex
ion with a chui'ch holding thosesentiments
and their being search Gods
word to ascertain whether, they arc true
or false. To hear you say this,as before
observed, is more than I could have expec
ted ; but to meet the before mentioned
string of denunciations against Ministers
■ftho collect money to aid Sunday Schools
is so far beyond what the most irreligious
of your friends could have hoped, that I
was perfectly astounded. You will hard
ly say that 1 have attributed to you sen
timents which are not your own.* For you
say, let it be understood that you do not
disown similar feelings and sentiments'.
And you cannot say any of the foregoing
deductions are forced.
7n conclusion let me make one simple
suggestion. Retraction from irreligious
sentiments and opinions, is always more
honorable and more pleasing than persis
tancc. if you are not willing that these
sentiments shall he considered yours, de
ny them plainly.
Yours. ' M. ROBERTSON.

The most important news is that of the de
feat of the Russians. The brave Poles tight
with courage and enthusiasm which astonish
all Europe.
France appears quiet, and determined, if
possible to remain so.
Belgium continues in a state of disorder.
The distress of Ireland increases.
From the London HCrald, April 15.
The Pariypapers state that new and deci
sive victories h;ul been obtained over the Rt;s
sians on the 2d April, of whom 6000 have
been made*prisoners, besides 26 pieces of
cannon. This news rested on the authority
of a despatch from Strasbourg, but was con
firmed bv order of collateral reports. The.
insurrection in Luthiana seems to be placed
beyond a doubt. VVilna is in possession of
the national forces, who after having recap
tured all the arms taken from them, proceeded
to Georgenburg, driving the Cossacks before
them out of every village in the route. Oth
|or bodies armed and organized, have shown
[ themselves in the environs of Taurogen. ;
The other reports which wore prevalent in
P?ris on Tuesday, were, that Courland was in
j insurrection; that the Grand Seigoor had pos
itively refused to pay the last instalment of
his tribute to Russia, and was still pushing
his military preparations; and that the King
of Sweden, thinking this a favorable season
for taking advantage uf the distraction of tne
Autocrat, was meditating an attempt for the
recovery of Finland, which his predecessors
had lost to Russia. A communication had
been opened between the Poles and thn Tbrks
and an ambassador was actually upon his way
from Warsaw to Constantinople, to rouse the
Porto to a co-opcration. Considerable stress
had been laid upon a Ukase published in the
St. Petersburg Gazette, by which the Empe
ror disbanded thru Finnish, regiment of Cara,
bineers, as showing his distrust of the fidelity
of that province. These reports savoring as
tiiey all did of war, had had the effect of ra
ther depressing the funds in Paris.
The French Papers seem to cnkulate with
increased confidence on a favorable issue of
the Campaign to the Poles.— The Messager
contains a long article to prove the great ad
vantages which the Patriots will acquire by
being able, as they now are to act upon the
offensive against the Russians. .The Ger
man accounts in these papers state that the'
Russians, upon the 2d inst. attempted to cross
the 4 istula, near Pulaway, but were repuls,
ed, which is an admission of the victory.—■
The trials of the conspirators were not yet con
eluded in Paris; but no doubt seemed to be
entertained of their acquittal. Oq Monday
the Chamber of Peers brought to a conclu
sion tile trial (par contuinace) of the Barrens
d’ilausaex, Capclle, and do Monthel, the Ex
Ministers, who have escaped from Fiance.—
The sentence wiw as follows:—The Court
“Declare the Barons d’Haussex, Capelie,
and ilc Monthel guilty of the crime of treason;
'“Condemns the said Barons d’Haussex,
Capclle, and de Monthel to perpetual irnpris- ‘
oninent; ■/' *
“Decrees that they shall be deprived of ’
<>ivil rights, in conformity with the 28th and
2‘Jth Articles of the Penal Code;
“Declares them also degraded from thfcir
titles and orders ; • 1
“Condemns them jointly and generally t<S
defray the costs of the proceedings.”
FRONTIERS OF SERYIA, ,41ny 17—
Since the Albanian insurrection was appeased
Rescind Pacha had only attended to A.s pri
vate interests; an apparent tranquillity con
cealed from him the conspiracies o: the Pa
chas of Scutari and Trawuick,‘which had for
[ their object to overturn the Sultan. Sudden
ly the most dangerous insurrection that ever
occurred in the Ottoman empire has broken
out. All Albania, Bosina, and 7<art of'Mace
donia, have taken up arms. The Pacha of
Scutari is at the head of the movement!
From the Liverpool Courier, April 16.
The foreign intelligence of the week pre
sents little in addition to the details inserted
in a preceding page of this paper. The Po
lish iuse is advancing gloriously, and the
hopes of their ultimate and complete success
have now a solid basis on which to rest. The
spirited and vigorous manner in which the
operations against the beaten divisions of
Diebitsch’s army have been followed up, have
completely discomfited that bold and skilful
leader’s arrangements, and the reported in
surrections in the provinces in his rear and on
his flanks, of which there seems little reason
to doubt, must compel him to a retrograde
movement, which he will not be able to exe
cute without extreme difficulty and severe
loss. The following are the accounts receiv
ed of the operations subsequent to the victory
of 31st March, mentioned in another column.
It is reported that the Poles have gained a
new and important Victory over flic Russians
at Groho; that, the corps of Gen- Geisinar
lias been entirely destroyed, and he himself
severely wounded and a prisoner; that Mar
shal Du bitsch, hard pressed on all sides by
the Polish army and peasantry, was ihut up
in the marshes, and reduced to a most critical
position. The result of this fresh success is
said to be no fewer than six -thousand prison
ers and 20 pieces of cannon.
By accounts received from Mcmcl, to the
3d Instant, information of an important na
ture was obtained. The letters mention that
at Polangen, about 1 miles from Monel, an
engagement had taken place between the in
surgents and the Russian troops, in which
the latter Were defeated. Polangen were in
flames. In Volhvnia there were not less
than 18,000 organized insurgents, who had
risen in opposition to the ’Russian power. A
British courier, who was on his road to St.
Petersburg, had thought it prudent to stop at
Polangen. It was said that a Russian couri
er, with despatch** to the army in Poland,
had been seized by the insurgents, his des
patches opened and then had his head cut off.
The regular medium of communication had
been suspended, and the rising against the
government of Russia throughout Volhynia,
Courland, am! Lithuania, was expected to
become general. The insurgents were to in
tercept all communications from Dautzic,
from whence the Russian army in Poland
received most of their supplies. The con
tents of the letters from Memel were heard
with great satisfaction by persons engaged in
the Russian trade.— Globe.
IRELAND.—Tie: accounts which have ap
peared in all the papers of the frightful state
of the county Glare, crowned with the barba
rous act of the slaughter of a number of the
police, are copied under tire head of crimes
and offences, in another part of our paper.
We opened with peculiarly distressing expec
tation, the Dublin papers which came to hand
yesterday, fearing to read of w orse, if worse
there can be, than the calamities already re
ported. It appears, however, happily contra
ry to our apprehension, that the worst is past.
We have no fresh accounts of outrages, and
active means are being employed to restore
order and to mitigate distress.
