T 1 • • LONDON AS 1 1 1411.4 'kVA THE CAR g 4A11) CURIE • • A Meetiug was held yesterday at the City of Lon don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, by a select number; of of private individuals, for the benevoleart'purpose 6f endeavouring to establish an 4.sylunt. for Lunatics, in which the mode of treatment should be foinided upon mildness and cohciliktion, instead of coercion and severity. About thirty Gentlemen assembled,' ambng whom were Mr, B.. Montague and Mr. E. Wakefield. Mr. Fry took the Chair, anti Mr. El detton.Buras (Sec. pro. (tiff.) stated the motives which had eecosionedtkeir being called' together, when Mr. Wakefield briefly addressed them upon the subject. He observed that there were few calamities to which harms stature was Incident that called more power fully for their aid and humanity than that of mental derangement ; but though there were twp public en. dowments in this metropolis for the reception of in sane persons, and many private establislimessts, yet the means of affording relief bore no proportion to the numbers who required it. It had been calculated by an intelligent Physician - Who paid particular at tention to this subject, that there were nearly 7000 `insane persons in London, and is vicinity : while St. Luke's was adapted for the icception of only 200 pa tients, and the new Befhlem, now erecting, ht M. George's-fields, was to coattails 300. It was evi rdent, therefore, that a very great number of indi `victuals requiring assistance must look for it in vain. He had, himself, visited: the New Bethlem, with a view to eget., taut • the mode of its construction; and was surprised to find that it contained no provision .for that period of convalescence when returning i•reason began slowly to re.assume her empire, but consisted. ntirely of dark and gloomy cells, and 'e • "sembled a prison for solitary confinement, rather than an Asylum for Lunatics. With retard to the Asylum it was now proposed to establish, the leading feature of it would consist in an improved system of management, substituting mild and gentle treatment in the place of that which now prevailed. The efficacy of this mode had been successfully tried in the Retreat at York, and was countenanced by many intelligent individuals, as one most likely to accomplish its object. . • Several Resolutions were then proposed, stating lhat a capital pf 100,0001. would be required to carry the design 'etto effect ; that it was estimated the annual expenditure would he defrayed by the sums received for the support of the inmates], leaving an ample remuneration on the capital advanced; that this capital should the raised by a thousand transfer. eble shares of 1001. each, and that the Asylum should to constructed to contain 400 patients. Be-' fore these Resolutions were carried, however, Mr. Basil Montague suggested whether it would not be better to ascertain what might be the defici encies in the present receptacles for lunatics, both as to their means of accommodation and the made of treatment yorsued, •and having thus deter mined the neces3ity of the present proposed under taking, afterwards to devise how it might be best ac complished. He had no doubt, if a strong and con viacittel-case could be made out, and were =WA* to the public, the sane generoll.support extended toWards this new Asylum, which was al ways so promptly bestowed in this country upon all charitable and benevolent institutions.. Such a pelt cedure, it struck hint, would tie a better one than hastily veining to stay resolutions which they might afterwards find - it unnecessary or impossible to carry into effect. • This prnpoailiel► was accordingly acceded to, and a Committee appoietqdiamonF whom was Mr. Wil liam Allen, Mr. Mill, Mr. Montagne, Mr. Wake field, &c. to enquire into and examine the present condition of the public and private receptacles for lunatics, and to report the same, on an early day, to a General Meeting. New CHARACTER.--A footman who wished to recommend himself to a good place, stated, " He was sit feet high, and Member of a Bible Society." Saturday morning, between nine and ten o'clock,. an aged man, of the name of Rolfe, was found burnt tp death in his apartment, in the Middle-brook-street, in this city. The deceased, it appears, lived hy him self, and it is conjectured, that whilst making a fire, a spark flew out and caught his 'clothes, in which .si tuation, from age and infirmities, be eves precluded from assisting himself. Although receiving Ore. cilial relief, there were found in his apartment Iwo. guineas in gold, and several Bank of England notes, which ,were almost rubbed to pieces, by being carried about in his pocket.—( Winchester Chronicle.) Centitleß's ttlQUfir.—Yeiderday an [request was held at Me .Grapes end Cans, iu Gos*ell-street, Clerkenwell, before G. Ilonoson, Esq. Coroner for Middlesex, on the body of Wm. Brooks, carman to Mr. Mathews, a cooper in the same street, who was killed by the wheel of his waggon going over his head the preceding day. It was proved, that the un. fortunate man, in driving his.team into tho yard. acci dentally fell, and before he had time to rise the wheel passed over him, and killed him on the spot. Ver dict—Accidental Death. FOuTPAD RonexttY.—Ost Tuesday evening, be• 'tween nine stud ten o'clock, as Mr. , Hankeson, a gentleinan residing in Portland-street, was returning to Hendon, from Tring, Bucks, iu a. single-horse chaise, accompanied by a lady, he was stopped about six miles from thence, by three fellows, one of whom was armed with a pistol, and the others with blud geons. The robbers obtained 161. in Altek-antes, a Watch (maker, Inglis, London), and obese silver s with which they unfortunately got cletir off. Tuesday morning, about eight o'clock, the Keeper of Southgate-prison, in Exeter, attended, the felons with a candle to light their fire, when a man called Sharland (just reprieved from death), as he entered the cell, gave him a blow, skipped out, and locked the door upon him ; the ,Prisoner then attempted to escape, by ascending a trap-door that led to the debtors' apartments, and after locking the Keeper's wife in her bed-room, descended to the front door ; here he was at a stand, for the Keeper had the key of it in his pocket, which, after calling loudly to l some people in the street, he threw out to them, and they Immediately entered and secured the Prisoner.. He has been rloable-ironed, and also all the other prisoners, as it is supposed they were acquainted" , with the intention.
