THE NEW YORK HERALD. Whole Noe 5005, Axpany, Feb, 7, 1848. The General Manufacturing Bill—Legislative Proceedings—Reception of General Quitman. The general bill to authorize the formation of corporations for manufacturing, mining, mechan- ical, or chemical purposes, was considered by the Senate this morning. The provision in this bill, in which the greatest interest 1s felt, 1s that conuanteenie 1 ": ity of stock-holders The fOr Tihe12h, 18th, 18th, and 2d sections of | the bill, as they passed the Assembly, read as follows :— § 10.

Es This senator is a whig of the libe- ral school; he is a practical whig, and he is hostile to the revolutionary tenets ofthe vision- aries and theorists. Ia vindicating his amend- meuts, Senator Clark contessed his apprehen- sions that the system of we apes A upon which the other house proposed to create and estublish corporations among us, would be pro- ductive of disastrous results. He viewed it as # most dangerous system, and as one which he could not bring himsetf to believe would meet with the approbation of this enlightened Senate. He earnestly desired senators to reflect before giving their votes for a bill which authorised corporators to contract debts to an illimitable amount, without giving any security for their payment. i am very sure that the honorable senator said all that any man could have said to defeat the bill; but he was merely wasting his breath. The amendments of Senator Clark were voted down, one after the other, by the majority. They re- fused to allow the bill to be amended in the least, not because, (as they confessed, )the amend- ments were not just, but because they feared, if the bill was altered, its passage through the house would be hazarded. 1 am now satisfied pe the biil will pass with the no liability clause. In the senate, to-day, Mr. Fine offered the iierce resolution, which lies over under the rule :— Resolved, (ifthe Assembly concur,) That it ba recom- ; mended to the canal commissioners, (if, in their opinion, not inconsistent with the public welfare.) to close the locks of the State canals, curing the cowing season of @ navigation, from 8 A M. to 6 P.

The above corps, with their officers in full uniform, assembled at the Mansion House, in Broadwey, at half-past five o’clock.

Tne military bands attached to the above corps were on the ground atan early hour, where they played a number of mar- tial airs. pe A The Housatonic train with the distinguished guest on board, reached the depot at Bast Al- bony at 7 o’clock P.

Immediately upon the fl embarkation of General Quitman, shout after shout issued from the throats of the throng which encireled hin on every side; he was conducted, or rather carried by the military, to a very clegaat sleigh, which stood in readinees c this sleigh, in which the gene- ral was seated, was escorted by the military and firemen through the principal streets to the capi- tol; during the passage the hero was cheered in most enthusiastic manner, by thousands of 8, who in their efforts to get a glimpse at ures, actually blocked up the street, and mpeliea the procession to come to a dead hale; general rode bare headed. Upon his arrival at the capitol he was conducted ato the execu- tive chamber, where the governor, and the several Stute officers were waiting to receive him. Upon his entrance into the ber, was received by Adjutant General Stevens, who addressed some very appropriate remarks to him. General Quitman having then been intro- duced to the several State officers, returned thanks for the epthusiastic reception which had been given him. The several military com- panies then passed in review before the distin- guished guest, after which, an effort was made to get him outside the capitol; but the anxiety of the immense crowd which choked up the vestibule of the capitol to see the brave general Was so great, that it was found impossible to clear a passage for his egress. He accordingly took a position upon the steps leading to the Senate chamber, from which he made a short address ; every sentence he uttered was drowned in the huzzas of the citizens. The reception of | this gallant officer, was,on the whole,very credi- table to the city. Mexica: THE LINE POLICY. [From the Washington Union, Feb. 7.) We had the pleasure of meeting an intelligent officer to-day, from the army, who seemed thoroughly acquaint ed with the Mexican character and views, He contend power, and then, with the aid of what we might possess, to compel the Mexicans to grant us an honorable peace, and @ fair indemnity. He argued with great force that ought not to comfine ourselves toa defensive line, but that we ought to conquer capital after capital,aud State after State; and when we have brought this miserable race to feel the full calamities of the'war, and compelled them to make peace, we might abandon everything that w not comprehended within the indempity lise, T country cannot have forgotten the elcquent letter which Geo, Quitman sddressed to a senator of the United States upon the best mode of terminating the war, in which he contended that we should never sur- capital, or the road to Vera Cruz, before we had made a treaty of peace ; thet, ifwe abandon the city, ‘ich had such a controlling influence over all Mexico, the rflitery officera would again fiock to it, and there reunite and rorganisé their forces, and pour beck the tide of war upon ws; or, if they could not agree together, but tall into new dissensions, that some foreign power might be invited, and induced to step in to adjust their differences, and dictate laws to the whole of Mexico.— Such were the views of ote of the mort experienced and sccompliahed of our officers. Any defensive Iine—much less one which excludes the possession of the capital and the intermediate country to the coast. and Vera Cruz aud the castle—does not appear to be the true polioy for usto pursue. It meets neither with the general appro- bation of the gentlemen of the army, nor of the citizens at home. EXECUTIONS IN THE ARMY. Aletter from Monterey, in the Philadelphia North American, dated January 1, mentions the sentence, by Court Martial, of private Galbraith, mounted volunteer cavalry, to be shot, at Buena Vista, for mutinous con- duct—private Nucent, same corps, to be hanged at Buena Vista for shooting a Mextcan—and A.D Lonn, to be hanged, at Camargo, or murdering William Mun- son. The sentences had been approved by General Wool, and ordered to be carried into effeot.

This morning the tollowing cases were taken up for argument, they all embrace the same prin- ciples, and are to be answered and arqued to gether. The first in order, is No. 57, Peck and ellows, plaintiffs in errer vs. Jenness et al , de- fendants in error, to the Supreme Court of Judi- cature of New Hampshire. No. 68, is an appeal from the same court.

Bradley, for the plaintiffs; John Sergeant, Hale, and Goodrich, for defendants. At an early hour, the court room was thronged by persons anxious to hear the arguments of the distinguished gentlemen engaged in these causes. At a few minutes after three o'clock, the court was opened, and then the business of the day was proceeded with. The first case in order was: No 67.—Philip Peck and W' liows; plaiatiffs in error, vs John L.Jenness and others, defendants in error. In error to the Superior Court of Indicature of New Hampshire.

An attachment or m rocess, as known te the laws ot New Hampshire, is not a lien or security, within the Bankrupt Siatute of August 19, 1541 2. The order st din tt joiaders is further maintenance of t] it by the plaintiffs below. Mr Wensrer opened the argument for the plaintiffs in error in No. 57, by considering the question whether the attachment in this case createda lien; and ifthere be a lien, did the same override, or was it superior to the jurisdiction ofthe district court, in proceedings in bank- ruptoy? . Upon this point he referred the court to the opinions ot the courts below, and suggested that those opinions were adverse to the opinion of this court in the case of exparte Christy. As to the validity of a lien and its effect, connected with this inquiry, Mr. Webster cited 2, Story, 121; Expurte Foster, 3d_ Sto: 428, and said that the court of New Hampshire, in t case of Bellows & Peck. Tho first case covers one point, the second covers both. He was of opinion that when « petition of bankruptcy was filed, and proceedings had in the case, that the concl eness of the district judge over all the assets and claims of the bankrupt, was clear and well settied.and referred to the opinion of thecourt in Christy’s case, 3, Howard 316 Uponthbis statement, and the authorities cited, he could rest, but he propored to explain the law of attachment on mesne process By the second section of the bankrupt act, it would appear that there was no lien for debt, contemplated by its provi- sions This attachment or © process was a lien in yrtain sense, but it does notsave the property in case general solvency. This w opinion, and The defendants lings in- of thought the weil established law, but the opinions of the State courts was the other way. This attachment on meane process war peculiar to fouror five States law, and it may be said thut upon it, this court is calied upon to review the decision of a State court upon it own law. But the question here was not upon a State statute or decision, but upon the construction and meaning of an act of Congerss, Even admitting that in | State courts, under State laws, this attachment under meane process, was regarded as a lien, yet the question here is, was ite lien under the bankrupt act of Congress 1841? ' Mr. W. then proceeded to gives history of at- tachment laws In ancient times, there was no such thing known asa capias ad vespondendum, except for | age—not for acivildebt. Chere wasa judicial writ them issued of subpana, and the party sueing proceeded against the dsbtor’s property b; desirengss Uatil lately, there was no judgment by de- fault for non-appearance; recent atatutes—some thirty or forty years ago, e this—and when the party sppeared the attachment was dissolv: He then proceeded to give the history of the laws of attachment in Maese- chusetts and other Eastern states, and urged that in every State, the attachment upon mesne process was re- garded but a 9 security for the suit, and an incident of the action; that if the action was discontinued, etapped, or dieposed of, the attachment, the incident of the action was diseolved. He considered it but in the light of a mere security which the plaintiff held, until the action was decided ; and if any thing occurred to tal trespars sounding ond was based upon the action fell to the ground, and was instantly dissolved. He regarded it in the light of @ special bail, which was, of course, released aod di charged upon the osuse of .acton, seourity for which it was required, being lost or taken away, Mr. Webster said he would call upon his this case is not analagous toa case of special bal why, if in the latter oase, the action be discontinued, and the special bail released, should not this attachment be dieaclved by the discontinuance of the action. He thought that the two cases were most analagous, and if there was a distinction between thom, it was a distinc tion without a difference. He put a case of an action for a test, where, if the party bringing the action dies, the case is atan end; andthe party unde: necurity is released. Mr. Goopnicu asked if this was always the case? Mr Wenster. replied that be remembered one case where @ venerable person had @ ease many years ago, which he wished to have provided for by some act, and he got the legislature (New Hampshire, I think) to pass an got, to allow the personal representatives of a party dying, to come in and take certain steps, which would cont riment at the bar, at the time, when it was discovered that the act of the old gentleman covered a great many cases, other people’s, but not his own, Except in this case, Mr, W. said be knew of no other cass, wh action of tort, did not fall upon the death of the pa ty. He would make one other proposition and then conclude what he had to say upon this case, In Mei ohusetts and New Hampshire, and he did not keow but it was the same io Vermont, there was slaw, chat if party suing!make an attachment of the lands and tene- | ments of the defendant and during the proceedings under that action, the defendant die, and his personal represen- tatives shall come into court within « certain time and take ceriata steps, that is, suggesting in open court, that the personal estate of the deceased defendant is noteuff- cient woes his debts, in that case the suit against the deceased defendant is at an end, and the attachment is immediately dissolved'; and the whole ite is and follows the usual course of an insolvent e: Farther, ia furtherance of the asme idea, he had to re- mark that in New Hampshire, there is no adminsstra- Lion of the property of living insolvents for purpises of distribution.

He spoke of this law He knew not if it wi the law in the law in New wm pehire. the course of con. struction and decision is, that in any case where insol- yency takes place, all attachments on mesne process are fjostantly dissolved. Ia New Hampel as he bad shown, in cases of deceased persons, it was the case. In the opinion of the court below it is admitted, that when ‘a man is insolvent, and his avowal that he is #0, is mado, then all attachments are dissolved, and » proper distri- bution is made among all his creditors. Mr. Webster again referred to his position—that he regarded that this attachment was only for the action, and acy thing which destroys the action, destroys the attach- ment He had quoted already the 4th section of the bankrupt act, to show that all sctions against s party about to become bankrupt. ended by his taking the eps, for that purpose. But the case now before the , is and the reseoning of the court below is, that tachment may be kept alive, aad as a consequence ‘This being the very re- of ali tho reasoning heretoiore made use of by courts and Judgen—that the attachment is but an inci- dent of the action, and depends upon it. He had now, he believed, conciuded tho duty which he felt incum- bent upon him, in opening this case, and indeed, he had said more than he deemed necessary. But this oase is @ mere question of construction of » statute, which in this particular was perhaps known to but & few members of Congress; and it is for the Court now to sey whether this lien was as brosd and any State Court can claim.

But whathe could say upon this point is much better said by this court in the case of arte Christy, and there has been no attempt on the part ofany court to wrest the matter from the district judge, but in one case. The court below nad, and Mr W. ‘was sorry toray it had done so, declined to take the case of Christy au authority. Mr. W. referred further to this matter, and concluded his remarks. Mr. Goopnricn —Mr. Webster, is No. 68 open? Mr. Wi ek—My brother asks me if No. 63 is open. I don’t care much whether it js open or shut. It was then agreed that 68 was open. Mr Goovricu, of New Hampshire, followed for the defendant in error, and insisted upon an affirmance of the decision below upon the following grounds: 1, The District Court for New Hampshire acquired no jurisdiction of the several original petitions of Philip Peck and of William Bellows, to be declared bankrupt; and its proceedings upon said several petitions are void, because the pleas do not aver or show that the petitions wore verified by oath, without which oath and verifica- tions were nullities.

Thestatute of th e United States in relation to bank mopteies,of August 19, 1941, as to all inattere of liens and seourities, adopts the lawa of the States, respectively, and ¢xempte from the operation of ths decree of bank- ruptey, all property, which, at the time of the decrs might be charged with any duty, lien, or security valid by the law of the State, in which the duty, lien, or seou- rity might arise. The uniferm policy of the United States has been to adopt the laws, usages, and mod-s of proeetes of the several States, so faras the same may 6 practicable. An} attachment inmesne process was knowa to the laws of the United States, as a lien and se- curity, and as such, recognized by its judiclory, prior to August 19, 1841 4 Anattachment in mesne process, on 19th August, 1841, and on October 10th, 1842, was a lien valid by the luws of the State of Now Hampshire 5. Assuming that the act of ’41 adopts the laws of the States respectively, as to liens and cecurities, and that an attachment in mesne process, as known to the laws of New Hampshire, is regarded by such law as a valid lien or security, it results, ex necessitate, that a dis- charge of a bankrupt does not, and not, defeat: or security rightfully created and existing prior to any act of bankruptoy. 6 The order of the District Court, exhibited in the rejoinders, is not an authority within the meaning of the 25th section of the judiciary act of 1789, and if it be such authority, neither Peck or B laim title un- der it; for which reasons, the decisions of the e Court upon the effect of such order, cannot be reconsidered in this Court. 7. Tho District Court had no jurisdiction to make the order which is set up in the several rejola- ders of the defendants below, becat it is an attempt by the District Court contrary to the provisions of the 25th section of the act of 1789, to exercise appel- late jurisdiction over the State Court; because the property at the time the order was made, was in custo- dia regi: 8. The order of the District Court oan have no effect upon the rights of the parties before this court, becaure the defendante in error were not parties to the proceed- ing before the District Court; because the order is in personam against the sheriff aad his deputy, and does not reach, or in any way fasten upon the property ; be- cause, assuming sn attachment is a lien or security, the order must be regarded as to the use of the defendsots in error, and their proceedings in the State Court, after euch order, amounts to a release of the order by the par- ty beneficially entitled ; because the pluiatiffs in: error, subsequent to the order, agreed to a sale of the property; id because the order does not purport to reach real es- tate. 9, The several petitions of Peck and of Bellows to be declared baokeupt do not aver the insolvency of Peck & Co. ax @ fiem, to pay its dabte; and the several decrees of bankraptey do not subject ‘the joint or partaership property to the aotion of tne bankruptcies Without concluding his argument, Mr. Goodrich, at 3 o'olook, suspended, aad the court adjourned.

The public mind has been thrown into a per- fect fermentation here, during the past week, by the call fora great Taylor meeting at College Hall, last night. This call was signed by over one thousand citizens, among whom I notice the names of some of the most talented and influ- ential men inthe city, Hon. Bellamy Storer, Hon, N. G. Pendleton, Judge Ifail, with many of our most extensive and enterprising mer- chants, went into the movement with zeal and enthusiasm. This excited the chagrin of the old bunker whigs, and alarmed the democrats, who, however widely separated in other things, are united in their opposition to General Taylor. The Atlas and Gazette, both whig, and the £n- quirer, democratic, poured “cold water” on the whole affiir, but all their efforts failed to pre- vent the people from attending in great numbers. At an early hour, the spacious hull in the Merchants’ Exchange Building, was crowd- ed to overflowing; it wasa perfect “jam.” Hon. N. G. Pendleton, assisted by sixteen Vice Pre- sidents, composed of whigsa and democrats, pre- sided. RK. M. Corwine, Esq., Judge Hall and others, were appointed a committee to prepare resolutions for the consideration of the meeting. When the committee had retired, the conflict between the opposing factions commenced.— Henry Harr, Esq., an old hunker whig. led on the attack; and, in the course of his remarks, declared that he was opposed to the elevation ot General Taylor to the presidency, This was followed by groans, hisses, and cries, mingled with exclamations of “hear him,” ‘go on,” &c. Mr. Pendleton responded in a spirited tone, amid the enthusiastic cheers of the audience. Amid the wildest confusion, the committee re- turned with their report, recommending General Taylor for the presidency. One of the resoln- | tions expressed the willingness of the meeting to acquiesce in the decision of a national con- vention. This, which had been warmly opposed by many of Geners! Taylor’s friends, was the signal of general uproar. The democrats and old hunker whigs encouraged the dissensions by every means in their power. Jas. W. Taylor, Esq-, editor of the Signal, and the same to whom Generali Taylor wrote his celebrated let- ter, opposed the connection of General Taylor's name with any party or conveution. Ile pro- ceeded, amid hisses, cheers, and dire contusion. Old Tammany never presented a more bedlam- like scene. It now became evident that there was an organized effort to put dowa the meet- ing by the opposing factions, aad but for aa acci- dent which occurred at this stage of the pro- ceedings, there is no telling what would have been the result. The pillars which supported the immense hall, in which the meeting was assembled, gave way under the heavy weight of the multitude, and the floor cracked, and began to sink. The scene was, at this time, so terrific that it beggars de- scription. The rush to the doors and windows was fearful. Many were trampled upon, and al- most crushed to death. Terror seized every mind, some leaping through the windows, re- gardless of life or limb. The door was blocked up with living forms, the windows broken, chairs, suttees, stands, &c., crushed into pieces by the terrified multitude ; cloaks, hats, watches, &c., scattered in every part of the room, and grey-headed sires and robust youths were seen running to and fro, leaping from bench to bench, in the wildest terror. The alarm lasted but a few moments, but before the crowd could reco- ver their self-possession, the thieves had secured the spoils. Many acloak and hat disappeared, never again to be seen by their owners One ot the city fathers, a member of council, lost his cloak, hat, and wig, He was seen returning home, bare-headed, Kis silver locks—no, lie had Jost them—his smooth pate glitteriug in the gag- light like the rising moon. Lhe meeting thus suddenly adjourned, will re- assemble this evening, with the view ot winding up the unfinished business of last night. As they assemble in the market-house, I trust there will not be another ** break-down.” There will be rare sport, at any rate. | will send you an account of the ** grand finale” to-morrow, with, perha list of the killed and wounded in the contlict of last night.

They were well supported by the entire company, and the farce went off withvreat success. ‘he lauzhable piecs en- titled * Metamora, or the last of the Poliywogs,” written by Mr Brougham, next succeeded.
