OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. (From the Jt’ew-YorkEvangalis-t.)

“ This is -a work possessing many novel and ‘uncommotil a‘ti tructtvo features. In appearance is beautiful. Its biiigrapdicsl thou-hes embrace the most interesting incidents and events in the lives of the principal personages oflhe Scripture History, woven together in a pleasing rind sprightly narrative, and faithfir-ll sc- compniiicd with excellent practical lessons. Its clriefclsim, ow- erer, to popularity, consists in its mullitudinous pictorial ouibe‘l- lisluiieuts. _ .

These relate to numerous ancient. and orientll custom, , scenes, manners, history, &c.; and while they addgroat spirit and interest to thcobjecis which they illustrate, form ofthsm- selves a pleasing and profitable study.

STREET Wanna—We are glad to learn that this much-needed and long-talked-of Wharf has been contracted i for, and that the Contracts have been taken so low, that the CovniriiSSioners will be enabled to introduce several very material improvements into the original design.

approaching Session. Unless relief come from sonre quarter —and that speedily—we fear for the consequences. It is irow, we think, clearly apparent, that the mere act of'giving a fictitious or nominal value to a coin—though it may afford partial relief for a while—cannot possibly, in the long run, effect any good. We have all along been of opinion that there ought go be no difference between the currency of this Island and that oI'Novu Scotia or New Brunswick; that our currency has, for a longtime past, been a disgrace to us, and an effectual bar to the succeSst'ul prosecution of any coni- iuercial enterprise. We trust, however, that our legislators will not think of remedying the pressure now so severely felt by another issue ofirrcdeemable paper, ol'rro greater value out ofthe Island than so much waste paper, and of very little better repute within it.

“ This work is an attractive one, not only from the very nu-

merous neat eiiibellislmrcuis which pervade it, but from theimer-

eating matter which itcompriscs. It furnishes lives ofthe rin-

cipal characters of the Old Testament, with accounts 0 the

Creation, Deluge, Dispersion of Mankind, &c., and an extended ’ life ofrlie Saviour, comprising the outlines oflhe Gospel History.

The whole is in a spirit and form well adapted for practical use- '

circumstances will permit, to those in force in Great Bri- itaiii.” In replying to this part ofllis Excellcucy’s speech, theflouse of Assembly express their readiness to adopt :His Excellency‘s suggestion, “in whatever respect it may appear advantageous, in assiuiilatiiig the LaWs‘ between “""Debtor' and Creditor to those in force in Great Britain, as Iiir as the local circumstances and the exigencies oftlre Co- :lony will permit.” The only measures ol'tbe Session, how- ever, having airy bearing upon the subject, \vere, ./ln Act lo , .wntinua and amend the Act relali'ng to the Limits and Rules of ' Jails in the several Counties in this Island; and flu ./1ct to con— tinue and amend an .flcl therein mentioned, for the relief of In- solvent Debtors; and as neither of these does more than conli- 'nue, for ii liu'tlier term of five years the former Acts—with

one or two trifling alterations; terrircd amendments—it is un- necessary to notice them further. A Bankrupt Law has . just been passed by the Canadian Legislature, and a similar measure is, we believe, in contemplation in Nova Scotin. That this Island stands in as much need ofa Law of'tlris mature, at the present moment, as either of those Colonies, is, we take it, incontrovertilile. \Ve trust, therefore, that .another Session of our Legislature will not he suffered to time without the passing of :1 Bill conferring the same privi- .~leges and “real benefits” upon this community as that to which we have just alluded. Tire followingremarks, taken from a New Brunswick paper, exhibit in a clear, candid arid striking point of View the beneficial working of'the Bankrupt Law in that Province :~ “ It having been stated to us by several of our subscribers ithnt n firll and correct list ol‘nll the persons who have been rileclnrcd bankrupt within this Province would be highly aiseltil, We have been at considerable pains .‘lllll iiiucb labour do make up such it list, corrected to the present time, which we publish to-u'iiy, the names lltlltlg arranged alphabetically, for the convenience of relbreiicc. The total number is One, rhumlred and sixty-four, and when it is considered that these harik’t'upts are the accumulation ol‘y‘ears, in which there has ’Iteen a great depression in every description ol'trndo and bu~ :siness—in which heavy losses have been sustained in the itiruber trade, in saw mills and in shipbuilding, which leases have been widely Spread by the general Use of accommoda- uion paper—«it is u‘iattcrol‘sui'prisc, that the number of‘bank- rupts should be so small, in proportion to the population of ‘the Province. llorctolore there was no I’HV in force in New Brunswick by which no Insolvent Debtor could obtain a final discharge from his liabilities, evcn although he might :give up every thing he possessed to his creditors; but now, .a more humane spirit prevails, and many who were bank— ri‘upts years ago, and who have during :1 long period been 'piniug on the giiol limits, will be restored to liberty, and en- iihletl to use their labour for the support oftheir families. It may be true, that persons who have acted fraudulently are at- tempting to avail themselves of the benefits of the Bankrupt flow; but if such persons succeed, it will be iii it great inca- . «fire the fault of'tlieir creditors, in allowing them to pass Iwithout: opposrtion. Very extensive powers are granted to '0 Commissioners, for the detection of fraud; and where “anything of that kind can l)t§"l‘.l(’ttt'ly made out, the bankrupt ' not only be refused his certificate, but be placed entirer . the mercy ofliis creditors. W'o are strongly inclined to Mievc, that the compulsory clauses of' the act are not yet lolly understood or appreciated, and that a very erroneous «opinion has generally obtained, that the Bankrupt Law was «entirely in favour of'the debtor; but if'creditors Will take the
