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.

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. „ “O ye, vha are sai guiil yotsracl, Sac ];i<ms and sae holy, Wre nought to do hut mark and tell Your ueebor’s faults and folly! . Whuse life is like a weel-gaun mill. Supplied wi’ store o’ water, The heapet happer’s ebbing still, And still the clap plays clatter.” TO CORRESPONDENTS. 4Y. and Lothario in our next. 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. Mfy thin mtn nintfH tfMalif ~ From the N. Y. Daily’ Advertiser, May 18. Seven Day's Later from F.uropc. HIGHLY IMPORTANT NE4VS—4TCTO RY OF THE POLES OVER THE lII'S SL4 NS—REV<)U'TIONARY MOVE MEATS IN THE RUSSIAN DOMINI ONS, Ac. The packet ship Canada, Capf. Macey, ar rived last evening, having sailed from Liver pool on the 16th April. 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. COTTON. — There has been nlittle variation in our market.
