PRIVATE MADHOUSRR. TO Till 01 No. 11. GENTLISMEN,—In England " Justice" is the daughter of "Publicity. In this as in every . other nation deeds of villany are done every day an kid gloves ; but they can onl y . be done on the s ly: here lies our true moral eminence as a nation. Our judges ars an honour to Europe, not because Nature has cut them out of • different stuff from Italian judges this is the dream of babies : it is became they sit in courts open to the public, and " sit mart day in the newspapers. "' Legislators who have not the brains to appreciate the public, and pat its sense of justice to • statesmanlike use, have yet an initial:s tir* feeling that it is the great safeguard of thecitixen. Bring your understandings to bear on the following sets of propositions in lunacy law :—First grand division—Msrims laid down by Shelford. "A. The law requires satisfactory evidence of insanity. B. Insanity in the eye of the law is nothing lees than the prolonged departure, without an adequate external cause. frost the state If feeling, and modes of Waking, usual to the indirsdual whine is health. C. The burthen of proof of insanity lies on those awning its existence. D. Control over persons represented u insane is not to be assumed without necessity. a. Of all evidence that of medicalinen might to be given with the greatest cart, sad C.- calved with the utmost Caution. F. The medical man's evidence should not merely pronounce the party insane, but give sufficient reasons for think ing so. For this purpose it behoves him to have investigated accurately the collateral circum stance'. o. The imputations of friends or relations, &c., are not entitled to any weight or consideration in inquiries of this nature, but ought to be dismissed from the minds of the judge and jury, who are bound to form their conclusions from impartial evi dence of facts, and not to be led astray by any such futile sources of error and injustice." The second clam of propositions is well known to your readers. A relative has only to buy two doctor., two surgeons, or even two of those " whose poverty though not their will consents," and he can clap in a madhouse any rich old fellow that is spending his money absurdly on himself instead of keeping it, like a wise man, for his heirs; or he can lock up any eccentric, bodily-afflicted, troublesome, amount-sift ing young fellow. In other words, the two classes of people who figure as suspected witnesses in one set of clauses are made judge, jury, and executioner, in another set of clauses, one or which, by • refinement of injustice, shifts the burthen of proof from the accusers to the accused in all open proceedings subsequent to his wrongful imprisonment.—Shelford, Now, what is the clue to this apparent contradic tion—to this change in the weathercock of legisla torial morality ? It is mighty simple. The maxims, No. 1, are the practice and principle that govern what are called " Commissions of Lunacy." At these the newspaper reporters are present. No. 2, are the practice and principle legalised, where no news paper reporters are present. Light v. darkness. Since, then, the Law de Lunatioo has herself told us that she is an idiot and a rascal when she works in the dark, but that she is wise, cautious, humane, and honest in the light, my orphan and myself should indeed be mad to disregard her friendly hint as to her double character. Theo, gentlemen, is why we come to you first: you must give us publicity, or refuse us justice. We will go to the Commissioners in Lunacy, but not before their turn. We dare not abjure experience. We know the Commissioners: we know them lotus et its cute; we know them better than they know themselves. They are of two kinds: one kind I shall dialect elsewhere; the rest are small men afflicted with a common malady, a commonplace conscience. Thews soldiers of Xerxes won't do their duty if they can help it; if they can't, they will. With them justice depends on publicity, and publicity on you. lip with the huh ! I am now instructed by him who has been called mad, but whose intelligence may prove a match for theirs, to propose to his enemies to join him in proving to the public that their convictions are as sincere as his. The wording of the challenge being left to me, I invite them to an issue, thus:—My lads, you were gains to enter a dwelling-house kept by women, and proposed to break open • woman's chamber-door, till a woman standing on the other aide with a cndgel, threatened " to split your skulls," and that chilled your martial ardour. Voe *teaks forams scimum geritie mallebrem Ills virago vizi. And now you are wasting your money (and you will waist it all), dressing up police men, setting spies, and in short, doing the Venetian business in England ; and all for what? Yon want our orphan's body. Well, it is to be had without all this dirty manoeuvring, and silly small treachery. Go to Jonathan Weymouth, Esq., of Clifford's.inn. lie is our orphan's solicitor, duly appointed and instructed: he will acoept service of a writ de lunatic* inquirenda, and on the writ being served, Mr. Weymouth will enter into an under taking with you to product the body of E. P. F. in court, to abide the issue of a daylight investigation. If you prove him mad, you will take him away with you ; if you fail to make him out mad before a dis interested judge, at all events you will prove your selves to be honest, though somewhat hard-hearted " men and women." Should this proposal be accepted, the proceedings of our opponents will then assume a respectability that is wanting at present, and in that case these letters will cease. Sub faits lia erit. I are, gentlemen, your obedient servant, CHARLES READE. • We En isderdsi to Lard Massidd for this Orme. THE ATLANTIC TELRORAPH.

Hr. RYLIST INCalded it. He thought it most important thet they s hould pus the resolution as 'lonising the red dance of tproprietary is the direction, and their opin ion that an arrangement mach es that suggested in the resolutions read to them, would becoaduolve to the advantage of railway . As to the charge that the London and North Western E P :srpen e7 y bed broken their eegagemante, he considered that hilly answered by the &drop of the House of Commons ; and as for supposing that, in any opposition, they could be bests, by the Sheffield Company, that was ridiculous, rare that they had not a single Alpena for User pro phases.

Mr. 11111LIIT doubted whether it would be advisable to pale the aloha:ion, as it appeared to him to be something like showing the white feather. (No, no.) After a short ONIVINULHOU the resolution war passed, omitting the words, " And hereby invitee " &c., to the end ; the chairman stating that the meeting et' whi ch the resolu tions which had been eat to ell the companies for approval relative to the filing of fares had been adjourned to the 9th of September. Mr. PORDON having withdrawn his first and second HMO intim', that relating to the appointment of a committee of inspection was put and negatived. A resolution was then put, declaratory of the opinion of the meeting, that the capital account should be at once dread • sad, on a show of hands, was negatived by 31 to 22, not etsive one-third of those present voting. Upon this a pal was demanded, and some discussion awned as to the us of smolt a pomading, but the chairman declaring that the question having been negatived, and the division ob jected to, it was the only legal way of ascertaining the real opinion of the meeting, and the denuad for the poll wee theeefure not allowed to be withdrawn. The auditors having been appointed, the meeting was made special, when the CHAIRMAN proposed the following re solution - " 7 ftiat, fa acoordshat with the provisions contained in the London end North Western Railway Act, 1852, No. 2, and the London and North Western Railway Aot, 1866, any portico of the borrowed capital of the ootopany, or any debenture or other security for which, or fur the interest whereof, the company are lawfully liable, now subsisting on the security of outstanding mortgages or bonds not exceed- ing 2,000,0001., may be cascaded into stock of the company of like amount, (Ohm by agreement with the holders of such mortgages or bends respectively, before the mums respectively become dna, or by paying off the same re spectively when dna, and issuing stock of a correspond in g amount, lasteetl of re-hemewing the sums to paid f,. that there he attached to the stock hereby authorised to be created a fixed and partial irredeemable yearly dividend or interest, at any rate not ezoesding the rats of 41. for every 1001. thereof, payable in equal half-yearly portions; and that the directors of the company are hereby authorised to carry into affect this resolstion, by the creation and issue of so mush stack as may from time to time be necessary for that purpose, having such fixed rate of interest or dividend as aforesaid, and that for each amount so issued an equal amount of the borrowed capital of the company shall there upon be extinralabed." Some objection was made to this, on the ground that as the money market became maim the money might perhaps be ob turned on lighter terms; and on a division the numbers were so close that the decision was also left to a poll.

The CHAIRMAN, fa MOViag that the report and accounts be received sad adopted, said—l know full well that some disappointment must be hit at the result of the working of the line for the last belt--year. (Hear, hear,) I can swore you that it has bees most disappointing to the directors, particularly after they have need their heat endeavour', by • reduction of expenditure, and by envenom efforts to im prove the position of the eonpesy, b find that—almost, I believe, for the first ti teethe receipts have did slated in comparison with the serreeponding period of last rev ; and to Gel aim that it Is their du , ander the eft eametences, to recommead the to f the balaace that remsine after paying_ the regular ispoa the revenue.

(Bear, bear.) We have redeemed the promise we gave that wewould endeavour to effect a redaction of oar expenditure. We have done so to a very large amount, and you will not have failed to observe that U our traffic had kept up to what it was last year, we should haw. been a to give yea the same mecum of dividend, sad to eany forward • larger balance. This, unfortunately, owing to the mums I have mentioned, is not the case, and it Is for you to decide whether the advice given by the directors is wise or not. Another promise given by us was that we would endeavour to establish friendly re lations with other companies. In all cases we have sada.- Toured to bring all matters in sufferance to a close, and they have been all either settled w are in • fair way of set tlement, except the northern competition, which has been introduced by the Great Northern mad North-Weetern Com panies into the northern &Orkin I hope, however, that no great time will elope wittiest • settlement of that ques tion. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the emipesitio• whisk has been gobg on for some time at RssAsg, em arrange ment has been come to with the South-Eastern and South Wester& Companies, whisk to fair to all puttee, and which I hope will prove satisfacney. Thee arrangement is to be in ;NOD for t hr ee years, bet I trust that it will be prolonged, ice ft is based on the prineiple of making all the treffie we ma for the benefit of all the three conmeetes. (Her, bear.) An arrangement has bees entered into with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company, to which I alluded at the nuns. is Union. Every one will agree that it was most desirable to put a stop to the expen give parliamentary coated between that company sad our ewe,. she eke le any 'Mtge* eel Might in-W. It Is tree we have give up the right to compel them to lay down the broad gunge on their line. The agreement, which will be carried into effect ender an act of parliament, provides that they are to rut, out of our station at Oxford in connexio n with the passenger trains ; that there is to be sat inlet change of traffic bet rem the two companies; that litiga tion 011 these paints fa paten end to ; that for Mae years they are to maks an annual payment of 2,0001. a year for the privilege of taking up some broad guage rails which have been laid down. The payment of the 2,0001. Is to be made either annually or u one atm, as may be agreed be tween the parties. We are to run over their line from Priest fleld to Wolverhampton, they doing the like over our line between Oxford and Wolveroot. The amount of traffic , carried by us over their portion of line exceeds that which they will carry over ours, and we shall benefit to the amount of from 2,0001. to 3,0001., and if the traffic from the north im proves that amount will be still further Mermaid. (Hear hear.) We have, during the heti-year, kept • careful watch over the question of expenditure, in accordance with the promise given by us to the sh ireholders. A resolution exists that no liabilities should be incurred beyond thus then stated without corning to the shareholders. and such Is still oar view of the question. We have an espeadinwe com mittee, which look' most narrowly into every expense, and no large outla ham been incurred except the making of • yarrow gauge j y tlon at Reading, which was suctioned at the led raesting. That was a matter of necessity, and will be of edthatege to the company. We mention in the report two points to regard to which we recommend an outlay and ask your approval. One is the doubling of • portion of ilia Warn sad Somerset line between Yeovil and Everskolt. It has been found almost impossible to work the traffit with • single line. It is to • certain extent dangerous and very expen sive, because it cannot be due without the employment of giddiness] engines. We, therefore, propose to double that portion of the 1t... But you need set be alarmed ea to say great expense. The way to which we to proceed Is this a portion of the line having bee laid down double with timber, we shall apply that tim ber to the new work, and, so far as Mates to that part of the business, there will be nothing to pay for but the cost of lab our. We propose to enter Into an arrangement with the Oxford, Woroester, and Wolver hampton Company to supply u with some of their rails and timber in lieu of the payment which they have agreed to make. We think, by applying these rails and that tim ber to the construction of the new portion of the line, we shall improve the line and diminish the expww of working it without incurring any charge beyond that for laborer. (Hese, hear.) The other expense we propose to Meer le for the parpose of making a bridge over the West London Rail way. Even if this were not • matter of necessity between us and the London mad North Western Company, it wed be important to get rid of the level crossing just as you are approaching the metropolis. But the fact is, that • lawsuit was going as between the two companies on this It beg always been considered desirable that this = e gtshould be erected, and an egrsement existed pro. Tiding. that one of the mospanim might go to parliament kr ammeary power, having the relative amounts payable by each company to be ended by arbitration. Oa over the matter with the Marquis of = Claude*, wethought that the lawsuit mi n:A. OOlK more money then the g abl e, s and considered it des Meese the bridge, leaving the proportionate payments to be settled by arbitration. (Hear, halm) There may, perhaps, be other matters which require explanation which I shall be happy to afford. It hes been said that the account. are not Now, if any one can suggest a mode by which they can be made clear, we shall be happy to attend to such suggestion. Bat ft seems to me that any want of charmer oan only arise In the minds of those who take up the accounts and read them over hastily, without reference to former amounts and the reports of pre ceding half-years. As the accounts are canted on in the same form from half-year to half-year, there can be no difficulty in understanding all the items. But if any difficulty should exist, we will do all we can to remove it. I stated on a former occasion that the directors end officers of the company were anxious to afford the shareholders every information in their power, sot only at the half-yearly meeting but at any other time. Curbsg the past half-year Mr. Odes came to Paddington and inquired into various matters respecting which hemtmtained some doubt ; but the result was, that he afterwards eressed lawmen fully satiated. I will only say, in conclonon, that we have no desire to conceal anything, and that we shall always be happy to seed the shareholders any information which they may (Hear, hear.) Pioretwrott—What is the nature of the arrangements se to the Reeding traffic I The CRAIMIAN —lt Is to charge remunerative rates by all the lines, and to apportion the receipts equally to each of the companies for the next seven years. MOW Cover referred to the statement that them had beta • earls( fa the waking expenw of 28,4271., end in tended that if they went into the accounts of the previous half year they would find it to be only 18,0001. It was said that the object of not paying dividend was to enable the com pany to take advantage of the money market, and obtain the renewal of loans on more favourable terms. That was so far so good. But the directors farther said that some redaction had already been made in this respect. They said—" 801314 redaction in the interest upon loans has already been effected, as appears from the accounts; and the directors will vere in every effort to avail themselves of the state of the money msrket for • further saving in that charge." That was fallacious, for the accounts showed an increase of debentures to the amount of 186,0001. and more. If then the loins were increased, how was it possible that any pro gress could have been made in the ream :doe of interest ? A I/neer-roe—ln the rat* of intermit.

(Olbse The embedment was ultimately put and negatived by as overwhelming mrjority, only about six hands being held is tie favour. The or iginal motion was then put and e by a comaiderable majority. Mr. Gaza moved that the construction accounts of the whole of the Great Western Railway system, including th e Shrewsbury lines, should Le telly died. and that no ex penditure on account of capital should be henceforward in curred except in respect to the payment of liabilities now ex isting without the consent of the proprietors being previously obtained. Mr. EDWARDS seconded the motion. The ZitsiTimix—lftielien7;l;a7;holder means that the directors should not enter upon any expensive works so as to increase the cheese upon capita without the consent of the shareholders, ran say at once that they have no inten tion of doing so. But I most, se I did in Febromy bet, put one condition oa that statement—that is, that works of com paratively small Importance, entailing e, but a small expense, and wkii may be necessary in order to maintain the trsfilo of the company, must be left to the discretion of the board. I can have no hesitation whatever in promising that no works of any magnitude shall be undertaken, and that no large expenditure on account of capital shall be incurred.

The CHAIMAN thought It would be an unsatisfactory mode of proceeding to pass such a resolution while there were outstanding liabilities. The directors had no wish to keep the capital account open longer than was mammary, and he would suggest that the meeting should be satisfied with the pledge he had given, and which he now repeated, that no expenditure of any memsut should he mooned during the half year without the comment of the ahareholdcts, and that by Feb nary next they would propose a statement of all the liabili ties of the company, and taking a margin beyond, as was done in 1860; and then, when the actual figures were before them of what the capital account acttudly was, lithe share holders whiled it, the ffirretore would be prepared to close the capital morsuat. Mr. GILLS consented to accept this pledge, and withdrew fhs rembitios. The Cwarnstan then moved a "violation authorising the direeters to doable the lute between Evershot and the total expense of which he ssid would be 14,0001.
