straw decays but slov.iy, and thus furnishes its sub
stance by degrees lo the young plant in due pro
gression and proportion, (such as the silliquous in
gredients for instance, of the pod or capsule,) so
that the decomposition of the straw corresponds
to the fonr phases of fermentation in progressing
from the saccharine to the alcolic, the acid and the

“ We observe that our blades of wheat have but
a very few roots, and those are short and hard,

the remarks of Mons. Raapail, who states that the

‘•Another important observation, also, is that

observations might be made on these experiments,

thanks to those whose patronage he has extensive

to be found at the old established stand, corner of
Ann and Nassau streets, fully prepared to execute

month after month, without being replaced, and his
windows are full of rags. He feeds his hogs and
horses on Avhole grain. If the lambs die, or the wool
comes off his sheep, he does not think it is for want

be taken before a district judge, commissioner or
disinterested state judge, (See. 7.) The bankrupt
should be prepared to attend this hearing with his
counstl.
This is a preliminary hearing.
III. Upon the order or decree of bankruptcy^
following the hearing, the debtor becomes absolute
ly divested of his property; assignees are immedi
ately appointed by the court by order, and all the
property of the debtor is vested in the assignees so
appointed. Provision is not made in the act for
creditors naming any of the assignees, but the court
will exercise proper discretion on this subject.
IV. The assignees having been appointed by the
court immediately after the decree of bankruptcy'
following the hearing, it is their duty to proceed at
once to take proof of debts, and to reduce the pro
perty, &o., of thfl debtor to money; and declare a
dividend or dividends, so as to have a speedy settle
ment of the bankrupt’s estate as required in Sec. 11.
The Bankrupt in the mean time must at all times
liold himself in readiness for examination under oath
touching his property^ and debts, both before th©
court and assignees. The courts are to prescribe
rules and regulations as to the proving of debts be
fore the assignees.
V. The bankrupt having made a full surrender
of his property'-, and having complied with such or
ders and rules of court as have been prescribed, and
the assignees having discharged their duties and
closed the estate, the bankrupt must then give pub
lic notice in some public newspaper designated by
the court, to nil creditors who have proved their
debts, and other persons interested to appear and
show cause why the bankrupt should not rcceive
his discharge and a certific.ate thereof W’hich no
tice must be published at least seventy days before
the time of the final hearing.
The court in certain cases may' diiect personal
service of the notice.
VI. After the expiration of ninety days from the
decree of bankruptcy, and after the publication of
the notice, and compliance with the other provisions
first mentioned—if upon the final hearing no sufli-
cient cause be shown against the discharge, and a
majority in number and value of the creditors who
have proved their debts do not object to a Avritteu
dissent—and upon petition for the discharge, duly
presented for that purpose, the court will ginnt a
full dischj’^^e of the bankrupt I'roiu all hi^ debts —

The straw was more than six feet high, and in the
ears were 50 and 60, and even SOjgrains of wheat
full development, the admiration of all who saw
them, and particularly those which grew upon the
pane of glass, and which were quite as healthy and
as large as those which grew upon the common
earth. It hiust be observed also that there was not
the smallest particle of earth upon the glass, and
that the plants were left entirely to themselve, with
out being watered or attended to in any way what
ever from the time of sowing to the time of reap
ing.
The cauee of this success, they think, may*- be ex
plained in the following maner;
“Straw being a bad conductor of heat, and
good conductor of electricity, maintains the root of
the plant in a medium temperature, and prevents
the earth from being deprived entirely of moisture
The moisture of the earth, or the substratum, being

The Bankrupt Law.
From tlic Charleston Mercury.
BANKRUPT LAW.
In compliance with the request of mercantile gen
tlemen, we publish the following brief summary' of
the difibrent steps or proceedings to be taken by a
bankrupt in obtaining his discharge under the pro
visions of the present act.
I. An inventory must be carefully*^ prepared, con-
taiin'ng an accurate statement, according to the best
of the bankrupt’s knowledge and belief, of his cre
ditors, their places of residence, and the amount due
to each; also an accurate inventory of the bank-
rup’s property, rights and credits of every kind, and
the location and situation thereof, and of every part
of it. The petition embodying this statement, and
a declaration of the bankrupt’s inability to pay his
debts, must then be drawn and verified by the oath
of the bankrupt, to be taken before a district judge
of the United States, or before a commissioner ap
pointed by the court for that purpose, or before a
disinterested state judge where the debtor lives.—
(Sec. 7.) This petition may then be presented to
the disirict court of the distcrct where the bankrupt
resides, at any time. Sec. 1. 6.
II. On the petition being presented to the court,
the court wiil thereupon order a hearing as direct
ed in Sec. 7, and notice is thereupon to be publish
ed by the debtor, in one or more newspapers print
ed in the district where the debtor resides; such
papei or papers to be designated by the court, which
notice must be publisht*d at least twenty days be
fore the nearing; and the notice must state the time
and place of the hearing, and all the persons are
thereby notifieil, and may appear and show cause,
if any they have, why the prayer of the petitioner
should not be granted.
This hearing is lo be before the court, and is to
be UDon tes'.irnony under oath or affirmation—and
^ where the testimony is written, the deposition*? must
court,
claims
bankrupcy.
VII. At the hearing last mf-iitioned, the court
before whom it is had, may, li they' art; ot the opin
ion that the bankrupt has not complied with thn
terms of the act. or been guilty of any fraud, or if
a majority in number and value of the creditors who
tKoir tiln a wriil(-n dissout to the
discharge, refuse a discharge ana certincare; m
which event the bankrupt may, if he thinks proper,
demand a trial of the facts before a jury; or appeal
from the decision of the district to the circuit court.
The appeal is to be tried at next circuit court there
after to be held, either by the court or before ^ jury,
at the debtor’s option.
The forms which here fallow, are given for the
purpose chiefly of making more intelligible the
mode of proceeding in order to bring a party before
the court, under the act. The disirict courts will
prescribe the precise forms to be ustd to bring a
party before the court, and for the subsequent ateps
to the final discharge of the bankrupt; and this du
ty^ required of them by tiie actj renders it uuneces
sary as well as improper to aUenipt to give here a
complete set of forms.
