IitTIOUS VOYAGE TO AND FROM TOE EAST I\- -Tile Fortune, Gilki.on master, which arrived here Sueilay last from Bombay, sailed from this port on the st:l of December last for Jladeira and Bombay, arrived at th ! former place on the 29th December ' where she dis charged a carg o of coa l s , &c., and took on board a cargo of *hie., and sailed on the 9th January fur Bombay, at which place site arrived on the 12th August, and sailed on her homeward passage 6th June; on the 26th July passed the tnpe of Good Hope ; on the sth August passed the island a :it. Helena; and arrived in the soundings on the 7th of :;dember, after the uncommonly quirk passage of 93 days from Bombay to the mouth of the Channel. There she met with strong contrary winds, and anchored in Gourock Bay on the 2311 September, making the whole passage in 109 days.—Greenock Adrediser.—The above is doubtless a very quick rassage, but it has been surpassed by the Asia, which has just arrived, she having left the D nvia on the 27th December, and arrived on the 26th instant, having made the homeward passage in 100 days. The passage has been made by frigates in a shorter period. The Medusa, commanded by Sir John Gore, took but tile Varquis Cornwallis, on his taking the Government of In dia, did it in 90 days, and upon one ocacsion since it was petformed in 89. For a short voyage, one of the quickest ever made was that of the Apollo frigate, which made the Tassage front Lisbon to Portsmouth in four days, under bare poles, having left the Tagtis on Sunday afternoon, and arrived at Spithead on the Thursday morning &thawing. DEATH of The RIGHT 110 , - . LORD 11111ULESDALE nom the Lect — ls We are this well under the 'Wilful nerusaity of an nouncing the donii-ze of Ibis amiable awl tidy patriotic N•ibleinan. dial nil the 52.1 inst. at his seat, Gisbunic war Skiptuti, (7raven. Lord R bblesdale was born the Z?al of March, 17:12, and married, 1769, Rebecca, daughterof Joseph Fielding, Esq. of the kingdom of Ireland, by Elizabeth, daughter of ('hris topher Jackson, of the county of Nottirighatn. Ey ;his mar riage his Lordship had issue one son, the Hon. Thomas Lister (now Lord Rib)lesdale), born the 123e1 of January, ;9 , ), and two daughters. Doring the American war he raised, at his own expense, a regiment of horse for he use of Government, called Lister's Light Dragoons, and after wards, at the breaking out of' the French Revolution, be came Colonel of the Craven Legion of Yeomanry Cavalry, whirl; commission he retained to his death. For these and other important services to his country, coupled with his high and illustrious descent, his late Majesty raised him to the Peerage, 9.(ith October, 1797, be the title of Baron Ribble:sash.. It is needless to add, that his Lord ship's political opinions were, upon all questions, truly in accordance with the principles of the Constitution, as settled in PM. Ile was a patron of the Fine Arts, and possesses! a valuable collection of pictures at Gisbure Park, including sa.ne choice portraits, viz. one of Ge neral Lambert, and one of Oliver Cromwell, by Sir Peter Lely, said to be taken by the Protector's own order, with all his singular warts anti protuhvrances. The possessions of this noble family upon the borders of the river, which gives origin to the title, ate 1w descent of extraordinary antiquity, having been acquired about the 6th Edward 11., LIM by the mare isfre of John, son of Sir Thomas Lister, with Isabel, elanhter and heiress of John de Bolton, from which Thomas Lister the present pos sessor is the Isth in lineal descAlt. The above Isabel, it is believed. also, was descended, through the illustrious families of Clare, Gant, and Roumare, from the old Saxon Earls of Mercia ; de Roumare, one of the great Norman Barons, having, after the Conquest, married Lucy, sister and heiress of Edwin. the last Earl, and thereby possessing, as it is quoted by Sir William Dugdale in his Munastiesn, " Crayennam. et Couplandiam, et Al lerdale, et Co.. keram, jure hereditario." Gisburne Park is remarkable for a herd of wild catde, descendants of the indigenous breed which once crowded the forests of Lan cashire. This speci..s, Irving without horns, differs front those of Lyme, in Ch,:shire, and Chillingham Casale, in Northumhrland, where alone the race is besides preserved in England. They are white, save the tips of their noses, which are Hack. and are mischievms and insidions in ap proaching the oNect of their resentment. 11Ir. Lister, a con nexion of Lord Ribblesdale's, is said to be the author of the present popular novel, G ranky. ELECTIoN OF .1 LORD MAYOR. Yestenlay being the day appointed by the City Charter for the election of a Lord Mayor for the year ensuing, the Livery, from an eaily hour in the morning. were on the qui rive and the spa cious avenue is limit of Guildhall was soon crowded i by numbers of idle and curious persons ' attracted by the gorgeousness of the City State Carria4cs, which were waiting there, and by the other cu‘tottury piano and parade of the occasion. The usual barriers were ertctad is front of the Hall, and a strong body of officers station, .1 there, to secure the Livery a free ingress and egress. ft soon became aptstrent that the attendance of the Li. very would bn unusually num.:tons; and it was said a powerful attempt would lie made to disturb the usual order of rotation, by the rejection of 3lr. Alderman 13rown, and the election of 31r. Alderman Lucas, the next in rotation. As, however, it is necessary that a return of two Aldermen should be made by the Livery, for the Court of Aldermen to make their choice front, it was planned by the party above al:oiled to, that Mr. Alderman Thompson should be returned in cnejunetion with that gentleman. On the other hand, a patty, the number and strength of which were variously stated, was prepared to oppose, with the utmost velie menet:, the expected attempt at an infraction of the usual order of succession. They argued that there was nothing, either in the public or private character of Mr. Alderman Brown, to call for the unmerited slight proposed to be put upon him, and which, they said, was more to be censured as it PM understood in be certainly not at the desire of Mr. Alderman Lucas, that gen tleman having &elated his willingness, and, indeed, wish, rather to wait another year. when the usual order would place hint within the fair prospect of the honour, titan be the cause of dissension among any part of the worthy body of which he was a member. How these arguments were answered by the party who had planned the ejection of Mr. Alderman Brown, or what were their motives for that course, dots not exactly appear; bin certain it is, they expected a most vigorous contest, it being understood that Alder man Brown would, if necessary, demand a pall, and pursue the same to the utmost, while, on the other hand, there were many who were appreltemive that Jlr. Alderman Lucas would personally de cline standing a path . _ At a little rfter eleven o'clock yesterday morning, the first symp. toms of the appmaching important business were given by the de. p inure of the Lord Mayor, the body of Aldermen, the City Offi cers, and the Genileown of the Ilousehell, all of them in their full robes, front iho Council Chamber in Guildhall, where they had as sembled for the purpose of avending Divine Service at the adjacent Church of St. Lawrence Jewry. The preivnt Lord Mayor being a member of , he St it:onrs' Company, a large proportion of the Livery of that Company paid hits the usual mark of respect in such cases, by attenling tl,a , Churl:). , On the return ni titc. laved Marne, Aldermen, and suite, they re tired to the t'ottouttn f:nnocil Chamber, whLrice they returned, and wok thclr seats on thc in the Common HAI, at one o'clock precisely. The Lord Mayor, on taking his seat, was re ceived with loud cheers. Alderman Atkias Anti .110erman Waith.»an followed.

The names of Aiiitril'ion Crowder, aid Laurie, were next announced, and were sever.dly reci.ived With uppisuse, but nu Lands were held up fur them. The COMMON Snnt.EANT then came forward, and announced the slection to :Live in the opinion of the lieriflS, fa 1 n upua Alderman Brown aLd Alderman Lucas. The remit tea.

The Officer then came inrward, and iav,b:cti him with the gold chain. Alderman Bnotrx then stepped in front of the huFeintr, red in a very neat speech thanked tile Livery far the honour they had done him, and which he felt the more sensibly, as it was by the handsante and generous manna. in which they had now come for ward that he had t;;:en chic to triumph t,ver the oi•pot.i:ion which had been tnrnied ngainst him. Upon the motion of Mr. Deputy Dan - , setonticd by Mr. !TA rIT.

HENRY iIt:NT then came forward, and stated, that he had 'w, a req.lisition for a Connuou Hall upon, the same subjuct, which he pee to his Lord nip. - Thekall was then disselrcd, and the Lard Mayor and Alder. oleo returned to the l ouncil Chambr, r, where they held a Court of Altletmen for the despatch of public business, at which The Sit-rift's reported the state of the several gaols and the health of the prisooters.

The LORD MAYON presented to the Court a narrative of the prozadinga which took place upon the recent view of the river f banns, it the upper &Arleta of that nay igatton, which was ordered to be entered. Thanks were unanimously voted to the Lord Mayor's Chaplain, for his very excellent Sermon, preached this day before the elec tion of Lord illayor, and he was requested to pried it, and send a copy to every member. sundry persons were sworn, others allowed to be admitted, and several, on their applications, discharged from the office of brokers. Licenses were granted to Coal-undertikent. Commissioners of the Court of Requests for October were appointed.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Monday last, as Joseph Balms, wool-comb-maker, was grinding comb-broaches, at a stone which is turned by water, in a mill near Keighley, in consequence of the rapidity with which he caused the stone to run, it flew in pieces, and, shocking to relate, he was killed on the spot ! The deceased was a native of llalifax, 23 years of age, and was a short time ago mar ried to the daughter of Mr. Henry Smith, his employer. He has left a wife in a state of pregnancy to deplore his death. On Monday morning he mentioned that he had, the night he:ore, dreamt that be was brought home either a corpse or dreadfully mutilated.—Leeds Internee:tar. MIDDi,ESE X SESSIONS. Joseph if 7 r4r7rt was yesterday put to the bar, charged by Ann Robertson with having indecently exposed his person before her, on the 25th of July last.. The Prosecutrix stated, that the prisoner was in her house, at Bethnal green, drinking on the above 4,17 ; that he came to her at the bar quite naked, and asked her for a lustier', of gin. Witness Instantly left her house, got an officer, and had the prisoner taken Into custody. The prisoner, who had originally pleaded Guilty, said, in reply to a question of the Chairman, that he was wed un ,to do as he diti by his comrades, who-were drinking with him. lie was very sorry for having committed the offence with which he was charged, and, if forgiven, would never be guilty again. The CHAIRMAN said that it was necessary to make the prisoner remember the impropriety of his conduct, and although drunken ness was but a poor excuse, yet it in some degree took from the enormity of the offence. Under all the circumstance, of this case. he thought Aix months hard labour In the (louse of Correction would be of in'inite service in the restraining of those i.assions with which the priseiner seemed aflect«l. Thos. Lindsay was charged by John Lindsay with ha7ing corns mitred an assault upon him. on the 2d of August last. The prosecutor said that lie was tile nephew to the prisoner, and • baker by trade ; that he had had a quarrel with the pr!soner's son, who was his (witness's) ap) rentice, in consequence of which the prisoner and his am, who had previoulde lea him. waylaid him, and the former struck him several times in the face, and cut all his mouth. A man named Richard Rodwell corroborated the last witness. The prisoner in his defence said that he was irritated with the prosecutor certainly for having struck hi s snn—p art i cu l ar ly as h e (prisoner) 1- , as the means of making a man cf the prosecutor, but he denied that he ever struck him. To support the latter part of this defence, the son of the prisoner and a man named Wellseot were broutitt forward, who positively denied that any assault had been commit:ed. The CHAIRMAN having summed up the evidence, the Jury re turned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was fined M. and dischar-ott A man named Jam Lynch, an athletic Irishman. was put to the bar. charged with having committed an assault upon a countryman of his, named Patrick Galway. The prisoner, upon being asked was he guilty, replied, " Guilty of what ? We were all boxing through each other, and 1 done nothing more than return blows tor blows." Pat Galway said that the prisoner struck him without the slightest cause, while he (witness) was drinking in a public house, and the consequence of the blow he received was the log of a tooth. Daniel Langan supported the testimony of the last witness. The cafe for the prosecution having dosed here, two witnesses were produced for the defence, who could prove nothing. The prisoner was committed for one month. Thomas Langly, lloberf Laoigicy. and IV. J. !hilen, three re spectable-looking men, were put to the bar, charged with having obstructed the Stepney Jury in the discharge of their duties, and with having committed an assault upon two of their, who were par ticularly specified. Mr. PRENDERGAST opened the pleadings; after which, Mr. ALLEY stated the case, and said that the jurisdiction of the manor of S'epney, whiCh was !fi miles in extent, was regulated Ly a Jury, appointed annually. The duties to Le performed by this Jury were of such a nature as to produce the greatest enmity, a, d to cause a very great degree of acrimony in the manor. The task, although unpleasant, was, however, a very praiseworthy undertaking, as it was to see whether the weights and measures in the neighbourhood were or were not correct, in order that the poi.r should not suffer by their deficiencies. On the 18th of August, this Jury went to the house of Mr. Robert Langley, a butcher, who was out. The defendant, Thomas Langley, who lived opposite his brothel, came over, and in reply to Mr. 3loore's (one of the Jury) observation, that they were coif a to try the weights, &c. called them " • pack of rascals and villains." In the interim the other prisoner, Robert Langley, came in, and in the height of his passion took up a knife, and used it In a most threatening manner. Ultimately the Jury were bundled out of die shop by the three prisoner at the bar. Upon the first witness, Wm. Thomas Moore, being called, The CHAIRMAN suggested that a caniptomise of the matter might be &coed, which would be perfectly consistent with the character and respectability of the parties concerned. Mr. Pnif.r.i re, on the part of the M e ssrs. Langley, and My. Attol.Pubs on that of Mr. Holden, said that their clients were ready to acknowledge the tight of the J ury to inspect *eights and measures. Mr. ALLY said. that if added to this acknowledgment an apology were given, lie would accede. This Ale. Pilmt,irs at first declined ; but, upnn consulting with his clients, such a concession as was required by the opposite party fie made. The Out nAsst thought that as the right of the Jury was ad mitted nothing farther was necessary. updit t)ie part of the prosecutors, accepted the apology, and consented to withdraw a juror. John Wilkato. and Mary Jlill were indicted for receiving two pounds ten ounces of tobacco, the property of Mr. Toplace, a tobacconist, knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Toplace said that he saw the above quantity of tobacco in a bundle belonging to a shop.boy of his, named Henry Perry, on a Sunday morning Itt August last; that he permitted him to leave his house with it, but that before he went 50 yards he had him ap prehended. Henry Perry. the next witness, said, that in consequence of hay ing been taken into custody, he confessed that the prisoners, who kept a shop for the sale of tobacco, induced him to steal tobacco upon many occasions. Wm. Cox, a police officer, said that lie took the lust witness into custody, who informed him that the prisoners at the bar had requested him to bring them some tobacco on his own account, for which he would get 3s. per lb. In co nsequenc e o f whi c h h e (wit ness) permitted Perry to take the tobacco into 3lrs. Hirer shop. Ile then, accompanied by another officer, went into the shop, and asked for the tobacco which had been just bought. 'file prisoner Williams denied that he had bought any such thing; but, upon their determining to search the house, the bag containing the totx,eco was taken front under the counter, and handed to witness. He then searched Perry, and found 3s. upon hint. . The sou of the prosecutor anti a man natnal Jeffiies gave the prisoners excellent characters. The CHAIRMAN having shortly recapitulated the evidence, the Jury retired, and brought in a verdict of ti oil, y. The prisoners were then removed from the dock. Jahn Ttrj?, who was convicted on Thurs lay of an indecent as sault upon Charlotte Cullen, was put to the bar, to receive the sen tence of the Court. The CHAIRMAN addressed the prisoner, and said that he had been found guilty of a most brutal and cruel as-ualt upon an un protected female, and that his conduct merited the seven st punish ment. The circumstances of his case had und, rgone the greatest consideration ; and the conclusion route to by himself and those who acted with him was, that be s!;;:ult1 be imprisoned one ) ear. Prisoner—lt's no use my saying any Mir g, now that I have re ceived sewenee; but you might as well send tiny gentlanan in Court to gaol far the offence as me. CHAIRMAN—You have at least been proved to hare said, " D—e ; I wish she was drowne '," anti It's not her luippi nen, ut my own, that lo.ik to." This was both cruel and unkir T.' elms ifarlaw was put to the bar, charged with receiving 911 b. of It t clk toetng it to be stolen. r. P said that the lead found on the premises of the pri son r b longed to Mr. Clowca's printing establishment, tormerly of Na um aberland-court, and that it had been taken away by two l yI n used Shepherd and Hobbs, who, he understood, sold it to he prisoner at a penny a pound. The price of the metal was 3d. i et pound. lite two boys proved their selling the lead to the prisoner, who, previous to buying it, asked them where they got it ? and their re ply was, that they had found it among some ruubish. .lr. ALLEY contended that there was no case made out against his client, as to his knowledge of the lead having been stolen, and contented himself with calling witnesses as to character. A number of very respectable persons then came forward, and pre the prisoner a most excellent one. The prisoner was discharged. Fine.—Monday morning, about four o'clock, an alarm ing fire broke out in the mansion of Sir H. Montresor, at Denne Bill, near Canterbury. It was discovered in the library, which, with its valuable contents, was entirely consumed. The drawing-room above also received very considerable damage. The great exertions of the servants and neighbours kept the fire under till the arrival of the Economic and Kent engines from Canterbury : these, with the assistance of the firemen from the Norwich Union en gine, which arrived soon after, and the aid of a plentiful supply of water from the large tanks on the estate, sue cmled in completely extinguishing the fire. The house had recently undergone considerable repair, and the cir cumstance of the drawing-room having a counter-flooring, and Sir Harry directing the carpet of the room to be kept down and soaked with water, tended greatly to prevent the fire extending to the other parts of the mansion. We re gret to state that the loss to Sir Harry is very great, as his unique and splendid collections of conchology, mineralogy, with a number of books, various curiosities, &c. were en tirely destroyed. The premises were insured in the Eco nomic Fire Office. _ _...._ A LAST FAhEWELL.—Pitkling and Co.'s Lucky Corner, No. 1, emuhill, gives evidence, by the increasing demands for a farewell Venture, how great an Interest has been excited by the approaching Conclusion of Lotteries the 18th of Next Month, when Six 30,000/. Prizes, besides many of 2,000/. and 1,000/., will add to the Records of the numerous Persons rt ndered inde pendent by them. It is proper to guard the Public again s t expect ing any farther Partponentert of the Drawing. f although the Lords of the Treasury did permit it to be deferred to the 111th of October, because the Sale had been interrupted so many weeks by the general Election, yet it was with the understanding that it shall absolutely take place on that day ; therefore P. and Co. invite the Public for the last time to the Lucky Comer, where they hope to display their Gratitude once more by Capital Prizes after which the only connexion they can hove. with Lotteries would be to write that Epitaph. POI.ICE. NEW METHOD ur 5W131511:4i. MAXtt4tf•ffot. Bt.—A Prussian °dicer sorbed to the IA Mayor for liberty to start a Swimming Establishment, in order Id matte the people of this nation a• famous as bin countrymen are rot that art, py the skill with which they are enabled to cross great rived completely armed. The following is the statement, which excited sotne curiosity id the Justice Room I " It was in the year 1317, that Genr►3l Mel invented a nevi method of teaching to swim. and estabiiiilled at Berlin, for the purpose, an academy. Hi s that design aimed only to the instruc. tion of the whiter.. The uncommon progress his scholars made Itt a very short time, in this useful exercise. excited so great an inA terest, that not I.nly the Craleo , of the Royal Academy, and the officers of all ranks, but likewise the Royal Princes, applied their', selves to acquire that art. " Ilia Majesty, entirely convinced of the utility of this Instim., eon, ordered soon after that some soldiers of eve ry regiment might be sent to the metropoli:: to learn this new method, and to props gate it afterwards in the respective garrisons. The tfiect was, that at present in all head-quarters of divisions similar academies are established, the scholars of which hare become so skilful, that during the great manmuvres numermis foilies of soldiers have been seen swimming across lakes, rivers, and in/tress ditches. Some of them were armed and in full dress. " Cutler the auspices of General Pf.-el, I have been employe4 as chief teacher in many swimming schools, established for the soldiers of the Engineer corps, and this has been my principal task in the course of eight years I served in the Prussian amy as an officer. " Visiting England, is order to improve my knowledge, I ob. , nerve that the above.menti•nud method is not yet known in this country. Desiring to obtain the honour of introducing here an in vention much suread on the Continent, I take the liberty of entreating your Lertiship to give me a permission to the tollowMg e&ct:— `• 1 intend to establish; the next spring. in the m'ddla of the river Thames, between %Irate,loo and Blackfriars b. itiges, at rids own expense, for ti e use of the public, a small Swimoting Aca. decoy, consisting of two or three coal-lightens. joined t.igether by. beams and hoards. furnished with ballohrules, ladders, and roofs. The azholats are to be dressed, for the +lake of decency. in linen breeches. No danger is to be tareal, for the +cholars have broad :aid turorg leather girdle+ round the body, and are suppot test be means of cords by the unttei teachtrs." To this application his Lordship replied, that he had no oba jection to an Academy for Swimming upon the River Thames. provided care was taken that ttie navigation of the river should alit in any manna be impeded.

Bow-STatiET.—The necessity of having those receptacles of the worst rf human misery and w;c:checlncs., the private madhouses and other lunatic asylums, pb cod under the surz..illcnc.e, at all time., omen of cim.petent atility and unquestionable integrity 4 has long been acknowledged, en! often strew:amide tontended tor by that powerful advocate, the Public Press. Many cases have reached the public ear of such a nature, as to convince every one, if any thing were wanting to produce cioviction on such a subject, how easy it has been for designing per. ..Ps. by fabricating a story of insanity, to procure the incarceration of a fellow -creature in place where even the lynx eye of Justice could not penetrate, and %hero-perhaps the wretched liting never met relict until the chilling hand of death put an end to his sulTerings. Legislation has already done much to ameliorate the horrors bf a system which has been productive of so much cruelty and injuwice; but still an ample field is left Open for the machinations 01 the wicked and designinr, That these remarks are not w ithout s t rong f oun d at i on , the follow ing details will, we think, prove beyond question. On Thursday evening, after the usual business was fi-ished, respectable-looking young female, named Jane Grindell, aceorm; panied by Dr. Mitchell, an eminent phvsielan, and Mr. Gatti", of the firm, Haddon and Gattie, of Coptlia!Lcourt, Throcmorton-street. Solicitors, had a private hearing belore Minshull, in the course of which Mrs. Grindell detailed a series of outrages of a very extras ordinary description, which she averred had been committed upon. tier. In her statement Abe Wif pr.ttle borne ont by Dr. Mitchell, anti the result was, that Mr. Minehuil issued a warrant against the fob. lowing per.ons, viz. —Charles Edward Urindell (husband of die applicant), Mr. Durnsford, jar. of St. Luke's Hospital, William Huttar, James Cochrane, and another, whole name L unknown, for an assault, and false imprisonment. The warrant was immediately put into the hands of Curtis, ond of the conductors of patrol. and yesterday afternoon two of the per. sons accused, viz., Mr. Durnsforl. jun. and lames Cochrane, were brought Lefore S.r R. BIII2NIE and Mr. Altsrsuti to answer the charge, the other defendants hsnirg as yet eluded pursuit. L. Williams, Esq. a county mazistrnte, and sev( rll other gentlemen, were on the bench, and the office wi.a crowded, a mour having gone abroad, that a case so interesting to every one was to be heard. Dr. W'arburt n, of Bethnal-green, whose vante was mentioned in the course of the proceedings, was also present.. _ _ The defendant, Durnscord. is nephew to the keeper of a lunatid asylum in Bethnal-green, and is himself an assistant in Sr. Luke's Hospital. He is a tall and genteel-hsoking )ourg man. Cochrane had been for some years a keeper In St. Luke's, which he left sonic time ago, to set up in business as a painter, to which trade he was bred. Mrs. Grintlell, the wife of the defendant, Charles Edward Grin. dell, was then called, and made a statement of great length, of which the following is the substance:—C. E. Grindell, the hut band of the proaeoutrix, is the neitwew of Thomas Adcock Grin dell, Esq. a gentleman of fortune (formerly a distiller), wh o F os „ sepses property to the amonnt of about 40,0001. Mr. Grind.ll, yen. is very old (upwards of ill), and extremely Infirm, having had more than one attack of paralysis. At his own desire the proseru• trix and her husband had lived with him for a considerable time, at his residence, No. 19, Judd-place, So nets' -town, and it was al most her sole occupation to attend to the little wants and caprices so natural to such a state of existence as that which the poor old gentleman endured. Though peevish, he was a kind-hearted of man, and became much athletic(' to her, calling her always his " dear Jane." His fondness for her produced a reciprocal feelirg on her part, and it was her pleasure to administer to I,i. coirferts and his wants as much as possible. The old gentleman was RN most equally fond of his nephew, her husband, and had actually made a will, in which he bequeathed to him two thirds of his pro. perty. ller husband had always treated his uncle with great re. spect, until within the last week or two, when he began to throw out hints that the.old gentleman was instte, or at all events so im becile as to be unit to be left alane, and stated bros.:ly that he should put him under restraint. She protsted sgaiaat such a proceeding, observing, that it was totally unnecessary, for he was in passive, and so perfectly harmless, that site could may him in her arms. Still, however, her huehand es vested his determin at i on to du as he had said, and on last Wednesday sc'nnight he brought the defendant Hunter to the house, as keeper to the old gentleman, and he fully acted up to the character. Upon almost the alighted appearance of irritability on the part of Mr. Grindell, sen,, he threatened him with a strait jacket, and constantly exhibited it before his eves. Thus matters went on until Monday last, %her, her husband came home, banging w:th him Du t n i f or d, H unter, and Cochrane. Durnsford represented himself to be Governor at St. Luke's. Immediately upon their entering, Durnsford accosted the old gentleman, and said he knew him from his (Mr. Grizde brother having been in confinement in an asylum some years ego. The party commenced removing the fire-irons, and taking otbel precautions, as though they had to deal with a lunatic of the most dangerous description, and then proceedei to throw the pcor old man down, search his pockets, anti take his papers and money from him. He made a feeble resistance; and whin he saw the def mho t (Grindoll, jun.) took a part in these acts, he made an appeal to hial in these terms--" What! Charles. will pre treat me so; you, my dear nephew, wham I have hrout,ht tap, and cherished NO tenderly t ' This appeal, however, was lost, for the defendants proceeded to put a Strait waistcoat mini him, and take him tip stairs, in doing which, front his inability Ito use his seats to assist himself, as was his custom, his logs wore much bruise , ' against the edges of the stairs. When they got him to his TO - M, ha was stripp e d na k e d and put upon hit bed, all the while protestta¢. against such tr e e'. meat, and demandin g to know why It was i n fl i cted ttpon him. lie was put to hod, and the defendants then returned to the si:ting. room below, and sat drinking and enjoying themselvei until slate hour in the molting, when Dernsforld and Cochrane went away, leaving Hunter still there. He remained until iVedmittlay morn. ing, *lien Dr. Mitchell, who had been for setae time attending Mr. son. twice a week as his physician, called, and upon being informed by the prottecutrix of what had happened, he ex. pressed the strongest indignation, and raid, that It was true Mr. Urindell, sen. was old, and retaired the minaret of a nurse, hut there was not the dightekt ground In the world for imputing insanity to him. Dr. Mitchell went further. and desired Hunter immediately to gait the house, which be I did.
