E EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1852. THE WINE DUTIES. (them ass belie Moue.) Last night's Globe contains an article on the Wine Duties' Committee and their labours, in which we find so much to agree with, that we are reluctant to take exception to any part of it. Nevertheless we are bound in justice to that Committee to say, that our contemporary has very much miss onceived the object to which their labours were directed, and that his appreciation of the results of them labours is proportionally inaccurate. The Committee was appointed for the single purpose of " inquiring into the revenue derived from the import duties on wince." The ceder of reference was thus limited, out of deference to the jealous scruples of Mr. Dos- RA ELI and his immediate predevoesor, and the Coin- mittee had no power to exceed it. The greater credit is therefore due to the ingenuity and perse verance of the Free-traders on the Committee, in _ introducing collaterally, and by indirect means, a course of examination which has resulted in enlarg ing the sphere of information almost to the extent which our contemporary desiderates. Without desiring to overrate the personal action of Monsieur BoNAPARTE in the present government of France, or the durability of the constitution under which he exercises it, the Globe cannot but acknow ledge that the following incident is not undeserving of a large share of the public attention at the pre sent moment. We find the Baron Du CLUZEAV DE CLERANT, one of the moat extensive winegrowers of the Dordogne, giving evidence to the follow ing effect (Q. 6,631-4, 6,839, 6,694, 6,704-5, 6,720-2): I read in the public papers that Mr. Aostay had made a motion for the purpose of reducing the duties on Frasels wines, and I gave notice to several of my neighbours, who are also great producers of wine; and those gintletuen have been very often, not in distress, but in difficulty. to have the wine sold; and they said, Since you know the President, go and see him on this question, and perhaps something may be done, Inc we sell oar wince with great difficulty, wed. if in England the duties were reduced, Pa' hope it would be very useful for us." So I went to Paris, and saw the Prandial, on the 17th of last month (of May), and bid • very long private audience with him, sad 1 found him very anxious on the subject, and he said " he should have the greatest desire also to see the measure carried, but he doubted whether it might be." He said "he wee afraid the lieglish 'overarm rat might make very high de l:lends (or reaprecity. He hoped, however, he might sa tie): them on seine points ; and he expressed his great anxiety and desire that the measure in parliament for the import of Inn:eh-grown wines into England should by car ried." Then lie desired me to KY the Miniatir fur Foreign Affairs, M. le Comte de Target. I saw him two days beffire leaving Paris. He said the President bad mentioned the affair to hiss, and he had desired him to see if anything could be done that would hides. the English whale to move that measure. ConsteTurgot said he had not yet had time to enter into the affair deeply ; but, however, he had • conversation with M. Greterin on the subject ; and had told M. Greterin to study the matter, end he said, We must look to what has been done by Mr. Porter, and the concessions the Go vernment were disposed to m akeske at that time." The BARON goes on to tell us that "tho prejudices against Free-trade are diminishing in Franco very greatly indeed;" that "the great success of our ex periment has produced a very great sensation both in his nation and in his government ;" that " our example has been useful in producing that feeling," and that " he thinks the French government would, like us, prefer doing it by leg islation , and not by treaty. They are much afraid, says he, "in France of seeing a new edition of Mr. PORTER coming over, and thee° things never come to a decision. It is almost impossible to come to the end of a treaty of that kind. We applaud the good sense of " them in France" ; sincerely nusting that they will not measure our zeal lee the good cause which they have made thcir ex ample by the sorry standard of the present occu pants of the Boards of Trade and Treasury. When the people of England think fit, the concession shall be made to sound policy and .justice, and neither the DISRAELI SOY the DEIST shall have power to arrest it. The agitation has already commenced. Its first fruits, in the shape of an admirable digest of the two blue books presented by Mr. ANSTEVS committee, are before us. From the title-page of the digest we . gather that Mr. CYRUS REDDING, its ex perienced compiler, has been set in motion by an " Association of merchants for the reduction of the wine duties," another Free Trade League, established in this capital since the dissolu tion of parliament. May their endeavours be suc cessful. 1 nation, la ted the value of the native oomi and minidiictureeihenoi,izelic:;" in other words, had been a moat valuable branch of commerce indeed. I Then cams the Methuen Treat y of 1703—" the' wicked Methuen Treaty "—as Mr. PORT= in his evidence justly styles it ; and further imposts on all wines, and new differential imposts on the wines of France. As the trade languished, taxation went on. In 1787 Mr. Pin was obliged to interfere, for the duties then were indeed enormous — French wines paid from 931. to 981. the tun! German wines paid 621. and 67..; nay, even the fa voured wines of Portugal were taxed at 471. and 611. the ton. The trade at that time was almost . gone. Thirty•three thousand pipes of every description were all oar imports for the year 1780, including miles re-exported for the colonies, and all other consign ments se transit's. Mr. Pitt, albeit hampered b the Methuen treaty, reduced the duties on French wines to less than half their present amount; that is to say, to 291. and Mi. the tun ; on German wines, to 334 and 371. ' • and on Peninsular wines to 191. and 221. ; and the effect was electrical. The trade revivedLthe consumption increased—the revenue rose from 800,0001., in 1780, to 1,148,76.51. in 1702. Aud then came the war with France, and with it a return to war taxes, and a consumption proportion ' ably diminished. From that time to the present the era of high duties and restricted trade has, with some very trilling changes, continued. Indeed, the only noticeable distinction, between the wine duties of the war and those of the present period, consists in the abolition of the Methuen Treaty, and the uni formity of the tax. But the cheap winesof France, of Germany, sad of the Peninsula are quite as effec tually excluded by the present duty, varying from 300 to 000 per cent. upon their coat, as by the old duties of 1,000 per cent. Under the existing duty the trade languishes as if it were still under the heavy taxation of the war. The melancholy but important proofs of this statement are detailed in the valuable tables appended to the wine duties report, and to them we refer our readers. With these facts before us, can we wonder at the jealousies—frequently breaking forth into violent and long enduring hostilities—which, during upwards of a century and a half, have divided Great Britain from her nearest neighbour and most natural ally ? Com merce is the pledge and bond of peace amongst nations. Left to itself, and untortured by the vexations regulations of governments, com merce cannot but 'weeper ; and peace mast Sourish in her train. But this great and easy truth has been ignored in the practice of statecraft, and the multi hare been answerable. Instead of the blessings of commerce, we have been vexed with the auspicious tyranny of restrictions and monopolies, and the friendship of nations has been supplanted by the sense of mutual ill-will and injury. But, if our ancestors were mainly blameable for the long breach of intercourse; let us do ourselves the justice to say that the better feeling, which now begins everywhere to show itself, arose with us, and that it is we who have set the example, which our ancient rivals and sometime foes are now following, of the abolition of unworthy and unwise restraints on intercourse. In our commerce with France we shall find our best guarantee of peace in the Old World, even as our commerce with America has ensured it n the New. Reverting to the incident narrated by the Baron DO CLUZZAU DE Ct.zaArr, we will say that there is nothing in the Comte DB Tuaoor's ooquetterie, about reciprocity and Mr. rorrines draft flinty of 1840, which should alarm or die )... There will be no nth conditions asked oa either ride; and yet on both sides com merce will receive simultantosely its emancipation. We are min of this - not only bemuse, as we learn from the Baron, the French people, and even their =r are very much of Um lame mind with ~t . or to the worthlessness of such depute. gismo in gesprol—hut ales helium we know that, in the present butane they are from dads very Wore tespraditiabia.

JOHN 00L1 ELM surgeon, called; and, hating been sworn, is examined by the Comsaimioners as follows Where do you reside?—At 308, Allmay.road, Camber well. Do you remember seeing Mile Ann Morey upon the 28th day of December, hi the year 16601—Yea. Do you recollect examining her, and then signing a ter liar-ate /—Yes. Is what state was she when you saw her P—She was in a state of eseemini lowness ; in fact, she was in as low a con dition of health, that I appended a certificate to the paper I signed, stating as much to the medical man at Northamp ton where she was to be psaned on to ; in fact, so bail was her condition of health that I questoned, if she undertook the journey, whether she would survive it. When did you sce beri—At Jessamine Cottage, Pah -1 street, ClialtlTScil. Vas it at her father's house ?—lt was at the house of • relation, a Mrs. Morley, I think her grandmother by the second marriage ; but I am not certain of the nature of the relationship. Hal you ever seen Mite Morley before ?—I had seen her mace before, upon the Gth of October, upon a Sunday morn ing, when I also signed for her to go into Bethlehem. In what state was she when you signed the paper for her to go into the Bethlehem Hospital ?-Bhe was in a very im paired state of bodily health, and appeared to me to suf fering from a description of low fever; she was in anything but a state of health. What was the state of her bodily health when she came out ?—When she went inks Bethlehem, I did not apprehend but that she might be restored both mentally and bodily, but when I saw her upon the second oceasma. she was very much depressed, and I doubted her living twenty four Noun. Did you see her during the time she was in Beth:sham ? —Nut et all. Have you anv note of the state in which she was bane she went into llcthlehent ?—I have no note whatever; but I have a perfect recollection of her condition of health, both before she went to and after she left Bethlehem. Did you make any examination of her person when she came out I—No, I not. The time allowed was so ex ceedingly short. She was ready dressel and prepared for her journey to Northamptcu, so that I really had not an opportunity; and she not being tu.der my medical core, OT mended to me, I did not think it exactly julcious to do so. . . Did you Ice any marks of rcratches or bruins upon her body ?—No, but she made a complaint that she bad a sore upon her side, u I have stated an that paper. It wrs re ported to me by the family that there were sores about her, bet I did not see them myself. Did they make a report at the time ?—They did not; she did herself. What complaint did she make?—That she had a sore on her side, but it was positively seen by the servant in the house and her own family. Did she tell how it had been caused ?—No, she did not. Do you remember fixing this marginal note : " Ann Mor ley is in a very critical state of health ? "—Certainly, I do ; that is the note to which I refer, when they first mentioned her ease to me about the reception into Northampton Asylum. Did you form a notion yourself as to the cause of the low state of health in which sho was ?—No, she was a per fect stranger to me. The first occasion of my 'nettle her was when she went into Bethlehem, and the second was when she came out. I had never seen her ex cept on the Sunday when I signed the crrtificate, and, also, upon the 28th of December, when she was removed. Thine are the only two occasions upon which I bad seen her. _ _ — Did the tell you anything about her treatment ?—No, she did not. DOI she complain to you ?—No ; she wu so very taciturn that I 63d great difficulty in getting her to speak; she was so low, that she seemed very couch disinclined to open her mouth at all. It wee a completely forced conversation that I had with her. . . . . - - When she stated that she had a sore upon her body, did you snake any inquiry upon the subject to ascertain the ca tgut of it P—l mentioned, to her family up stairs and said, She complains of having a sore place; shall I examine her, or what will you do?" I remember I strongly per suaded them not to have her removed, and, indeed, I pro posed that she should have a private lodging, or some accommodation in the house of her relative, where she might stop a few days, so that I could see the upshot of the ease ; but being dressed, and on the eve of &journey, her family were determined that she should be removed that I very day, so that I thought I should be standing in the way of that object by proposing any delay. Did there appear to you to be any material difference in her bodily weation between the first and second time you saw her ?-011, unquestionably ; I observed that at my first iaterview • I siel bays taken her as a casual, common nig I 111111111141 have hoped to have laved both her =MIL Hoe condiuon previously to her being re mired Ws Bsdasiwat was anything but good, but it was not so bad but what it might be amended. This was &beat a month or two before ?—I think one was the 6th of Osisier sod the other on the 28th of December ; that was the emit Interval. _ _ Hare you a paper or memorandum that you wish to hand in t—l have ben the report of the family ;I do not know whether it is mailarial I should give it in.

Those are the re ports made Is me by the family, and that paper contains points that I barn tseted from her friends. She is of a peculiar dispuidee, which renders her not an eligible per son to nide with, and also that she hal made there at tempts ups. ►ee life. You knew her when she weal resident at Bethlehem ? Yes. _ _ _ Did you draw any coachman as to the mode of treatment she had experieaced while she was there f—l could not do that. I was not aware of any treatment that had been pur sued. I certainly found her in a different condition when she came out from what she was when she went in.

The patient has uoiform'y complained of the treatment to which she was subjected in Bethlehem Hospital, that she hail nothing but straw to lie upon, and diet there wen no attempt to interpose any kind of protection between her body and the straw, that it hurt her mach, mid that she had no glothes even to cover her. She descriheil her whale treatment to hare been' harsh and tisane,' and the recollectian of it to inspire her with horror ; that the nums were in the habit of giving her nicknames, derived either from the colour cf her skin or from her halide, and that they treated her like a brute.

From that did you conclude she had been ill treated ?-1 could not do that; it might have been from natural cause.. Was the sister of Ann Morley present when you exa mined her?—Upon the first occasion ? No, after she left Bethlehem ?—No; I do not think she was in the house at the time I called. I was perfectly alone ; the servant announced my visit, and I went into her room. By whom had you been called in 7—By the sister and by the grandmother, if I may call her so, the eider Mn. Morley. Did you know anything at the time as to her having been well or ill treated ?—No, not the least. lam ignorant why they removed her from Bethlehem; I had no information upon that point. I was merely told to go and certify for her admission into the Northampton Asylum. I have a memorandum of certain theta, and one of the points stated is that she waa very mach depressed, and that I did not think she would survive the journey. You signed the certificate upon her going into Bethlehem ? —Yes. Wes there anything particular, or out of the common way, in the certificate which you made on that occasion ? Did you make any note do not recollect that I did. I thought the case by no means a strong case for a lunatic asylum. The witness withdrew. P.

She was in an extremely feeble condition. Her legs were codemataus; she had prolopaus of the uterus and anus; she was bed-ridden, and she had various sores about her person. Moreover, her hair will very much matted and entangled, and there was a great number of vermin in her heed.

Purr' NORTNALL Lernts, F.sq., one of the Gover nors of Bethlehem Hospital, called in and having been sworn, is examined as follows by the Commissioners ; How hug have you held the ottice of Governor ?—Al,unt see; rite( c years. During the time yen have been Governor have you seen many things that you think require amendment, and might Le amended meet tratelisially for Bethlehem hospital '— During that time I have tAisen considerable interest in the management of the hospital generally. It is connected with another, Bridewell ; I take i.lso considerable interest in that; and I have, from time to time, suggested various alterations at Bethlehem, with respect to the building itself, end the treatment of patients, which have been adopted; but I std. c - 41,:eler it open to amendment in several matters. Have you ever framed any plan or scheme for improving the prevent system of management or oupervis.on of the huartal consider the medical staff of the hospital is bard]: on that footing which it deserves. I have long been of opinion, that a medical officer to be an efficient officer act a 'meat:: asylum. ought to be a resident officer, and that the visiting physician., havii.g the control of the pati-nts, not being resident, are hardly able, whatever may be their desire, to be 'Hien nt medical officers; because I consider that direct medical treatmvut forms but • small portion of the treatment in a lunatic hospital; that in the morel treat ment must be placed the greatest confidence ; and that can only to properly superintended by a resident medical officer. Is it your opinion, that phy..icians coming occasionally to the hospital, can give hut little individual attention to the several patients ?-1 think it is almost impossible, whatever may i.e their desire, to give much valuable attention ; they only see through the eyes of the resident medical officer, and bear through his tam Ae..d another great disadvantage that appears to me is, tt it divides the responsibility; tee actual responsibility rests with the superior officer, the physician, who has the least means of beteg really efficient. Supposing it to be a gaol system to have • superintend ing resident physician, du you think it desirable to have two ?—No, I do not. . . . _ Would it not be better to have the who;c time of one ? Certainly, I think it would ; usumieg that the number in the hospital is not too large for the attendance of one. 1 object decidedly to the present attendance by the physi cians at Bethlehem, sometimes of one, and sometimes of bath. Formerly the aft-ndance used to be only twice 4 week, but the committe, obtained:in increase of these visits to fear times ; still our physicians take patients alter nate weeks, and each physician never interferes with the other physician's pati,nte, therefore. although there is the attendance of a physician daily at Bethlehem, the patients are not visited daily ; for instance, Dr. Monro's patients are only visited when he attends, and Sir Alexander Altai son's in the same way when be attends. Your notion would be to increase the resident medical staff ?—I think in the present state of Bethlehem, it would be almost desirable to have au additional resident medical officer, and to diminish the control of the physicians. The consequence of that would be, that the resident medical officer then would have more rower than be now has I—More power than he has theoretically; but practi cally our medical officer has the whole power. Does the treasurer never interfere with him I—The treasurer does not interfere with the medical treatment of patients. Did you never hear of the treasurer interfering between the medical officer and the matron, and assigning to the matron the power of class.deation and distribution of female patients, quite irrespective of the medical Aimee anybody else I—Yee, I have beard of that. There have been considerable jealousies and differences among tae officers and matron ; and. perhaps, for the purpose of keep ing peace and quietness, and feeling that the classification of female patients was a zu..t.er in which the matron could give judicious advice. he slit se. I apprehend that was not relieving her entirely from the control of the medical officer,—it might be the resident medical officer, but still she was under the general control of ehe physians. If there were a roi lent medical edlccr to superintend, would you give him the absolute power ?-1 would give the resident medical offieer Use control cf both aides, male and female. Not allowlw the matran to be independent of the medi cal officer ? —C learly not. What time do the visiting physicians devote to the in. spectian of the establishment I—Sir Alexander Monition devotes a considerable portien of his thee : Dr. Memo, a very short time, as it ap: ears to me, and I think not by any means sufficient. Did you make a note of that at the time ?—I did. Did you, upon that, draw any rionclasion as to the treatment she must have experienced in Bethlehem Hos pital I—lt appeased to me as if she had been neglected somewhere. Do you think the coaution of vermin wu the result of neglat I—Yes, even if I could have put a different inter pretation an the character of the sores. Did the state of her body exhibit any evidences of should say so. IHeeribe in what respect thick the sores which witnessed were the result of her having lain upon a bed of strew, and I think the vermin in the head was the conse- woes of not having her head attended to. The question refers more particularly to the state of her body?—Then were three or four sores of a large deacrip• ties, about the sine of balf-a crown, and upon the hips, her beck, and her heel; there was a number of small abrasion., wet perhaps larger thaw a split pea, in:different parts, which appeared to me to be the result of her lying naked on straw era warm bed. An time two lettere which you received from this office awl your replies thereto ?—Yes. At the contents of thew letter, written by yon, true ? --Yes. I Rave you scything to add to those letters t—No. Are they paid by fixed salaries ?—Tes ; Dr. Mono's at tendance has been mad , by roe the subject of complaint lie stated in his report (wh:oh 1 belive is before the honourable commissioners), that his daily attendance occupied about an hoer, or from an tour and a quarter to an hour and a half.

It is not as if his pa tients were confined in one ward ; they aro spread over every part of the bospit And all recent :sue ?—They ara not all recent cues, — about 200. At all event., if they are not new cases, I put it strongly, in all chronic eases, that a physician havam charge of a hospital cannot, in my cosinion, discharge his duty in anything like a daily visit of an ' hour and a half. It is not daily I—Est:l if it were daily.

He demanded without any difficulty and landed directly in the in terior of the steamer's smoke pipe, the top and sides of which he felt with his feet and hands.

The marine armour consists of a perfectly air-tight India rubber dress, topped by a copper helmet with a clear, thick plate stile's in frost. The pipes which supply and 'admit the air, lead from the top of this helmet. The pumping requires much labour ; four, and sometimes six men being employed upon it at the tame time, and compelled to work hard at that. A great pressure of air is experienced the diver upon his lunge, equal to 75 lbs. to the inch, and by very few individuals wauld hear it (or any length of time.
