former are compelled to reti re in to t h e i r ran k s ; t h ey struggle to avoid the scanty parish relief, or the more frequent repulse, and are driven to the resorts of the dissolute and vagrant. Potatoes are their substitute for every other kind of food, and the means of pro curing this lowest support of human kind are, in the ease of a large and young family, more precarious with one of them, than with one wholly unem ployed, whose wants are, of necessity, known to the parish. Is it to the interest of landlords that consumers of bread should be lessened ? Is it politic that the strength of the nation should continue ill-fed?

London, Oct. 28. P. N. lENTAL DISEASES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. ! . zia.,—Your having expressed yourself in a very cedin g manner upon the subject of mental diseases, eatli me to suppose that a few observations, by one long experienced in that afflictive malady, may prove acceptable, Sir Andrew Halliday is much to be commended for his labours in procuring returns of the numbers :4filieted with - lunacy or idiotism, but I suspect that his report may lead to very erroneous conclusions. In the tirst place, the numbers stated are, I suspect, very much under the truth ; and the reports, in many instames, have only reference to paupers or poor people whose cases are notorious. In the next, that the proportion of idiots to lunatics is stated greatly too high. Rea' . idiots I hold to be those who were born so—those in whom the mind had never been developed, owing to some original defect or malcon formation, very different to the mental imbecility occasioned by diseases, to which all are liable, in the progress of human life. The number of born idiots is, I believe, small in this our land, and the number of those being idiots born, who become parents, very '.mall indeed ; but the number of those who become afflicted with nervous diseases in early life, and which terminate in mental imbecility, alarmingly great. The number found at any one period of those atilictvd with mental diseases, compared with any other period, is no proof of the comparative num bers who are visited by the disease; for much de• penis upon the treatment of it. Undcr the very hest I rosnnent, which might be practised as a legis lative measure, no doubt nine out of ten of the pauper lunatics would recover; but under the prac tice which now prevails, as a legislative measure, it is found that nine out of ten do not recover, and may during life be found in the list of incurable lunatics ', or idiots, Suppose we take fifteen years as the average term of life of incurable lunatics, it would require eight hundred fresh cases annually to keer up the stock of twelve thousand, and if only one out ti ten cases remained as incurable, it would require eight thousand fresh cases of insanity annually to keep up the supply ; but if only one out of ten re covered, eight hundred fresh cases annually would be sufficient to keep up the supply ; and the dete rioration in the treatment of the insane which has most unfortunately taken place within the last twenty years for paupers, is quite sufficient to account for the alarming increase in the number of incurables. It is well known that Dr. Willis, some thirty years ago, stated that of those insane patients who were put under his care while the disease was recent, that nine out of ten recovered; and yet a learned pliy iciao, who was medical attendant at one of the best appointed county asylums in the kingdom, told me a few months since that they calculated upon one recovery out of ten cases. T. B. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER. SlR,—Having been present at a conversation on Monday niAt, conversation arose on the subject of the number of theatres burnt down in the metro polis within the last century, when a gentleman present betted that two theatres had been destroyed by fire successively on the site of the present Drury lane Theatre. I ventured, so far as my recollection served me, to contend that thin was not the fact, and it was agreed to refer it to you, or some of your cor respondents, with a request to obtain authentic in formation on the subject, should it not be thought too much trouble. AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT. [ln answer to our Correspondent, we have to mice that Drury-lane iheatre had its origin in a Cock-pit, which was converted into a theatre in the reign of James the First, previously to 1617, in which year, on the 4th of March, according to Cam den's Annals, it was pulled down by a furious mob, but on what account it does not appear. It was • afterwards - called the Cock-pit and the Plicenis Theatre, having adopted that fabulous bird as its sign. After the Restoration a patent was obtained by Killigrew, who, in 1662, erected a theatre on the site of the present building, the old one having been situated nearly opposite the Castle Tavern, where Cockpit-alley now is. In January, 1671, the new edifice was destroyed by fire ; but it was re built soon afterwards by Sir Christopher Wren.— The fabric underwent many alterations prior to 1793, when a magnificent theatre was built, from the designs of the late Henry Holland, Esq., which was destroyed by fire the 24th of February, 1809, in the course of five hours. The present theatre was built in the years 1911 and 1812, at the expence of 150,0001. Covent-garden was destroyed by fire the 28th September, 1808.]—ED. Morning Advertiser.

The French Papers of \l'onday and Tuesday have been received. They state that the last act of the ratification of peace has been accom plished. The smuggling affair is not yet al lowed to sleep, for we find now that the French themselves are to come in for a share of the obloquy, by a new transaction at Calais, in which Prince PoLIGNAC is concerned. (From the Gazette de France, dated Tuesday.) CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 1. It was after a great Council held on the 27th at the Palace of the Sera trier Chosrew Pacha, at which, besides the Ministers of the Porte, the Mati and the Sultan himself were present, the ratifica tions of the treaty of .Adrianople were signed, and despatched the same day. It is affirmed that General Diebitsch has replied to the application made to him for passports for the Turkish Embassy which was going to St. Peters burgh, that he did not think himself authorised to do this without first applying to his Sovereign, but that he had no doubt that his august master would look upon this step of the Porte as a fresh proof of its sincere desire to consolidate the restoration of the amicable relations of Rnssia. The blockade of the Dardanelles with the Russian fleet is now raised, and merchantmen of all nations pass the Hellespont without obstacle and without being searched. TOULON, OCT. 19. It appears that all our first-rate men-of-war will be soon dismantled, and that only the smaller vessels will be retained, which will serve for the instruction of the young recruits. The first vessel to he dis mantled is the Scipio, which was stopped by a tele graphic despatch at the moment that it was in the roads, on the point of sailing for the Levant. Al ready more than 3,000 sailors have been discharged in the maritime district of Toulon.

(From the Me3sager des Chambres of Tuesday.) SECOND EDITION. FROM THE BANKS OF TILE DANUBE, OCT. 21. The last act of the ratification of peace has been accomplished. The restless curiosity of the pub lic, which had been kept in suspense respecting the final issue of the affairs of the East, will henceforth have no aliment. if it is true that the fate reserved for the Porte is not such as to promise eternal dura tion, at least we have no reason to fear that the good understanding between the European Cabinets will be disturbed in favour of Mahmoud. Europe may now look with confidence for several years of peace, by which we do not mean that the great statesmen who direct the several Cabinets will lie inactive, and suffer themselves to be surprised by the events which are concealed in the bosom of futumity. There is still a great deal to be done to binder the renewal of the conflagration which threatened us from the East. First of all it is es ential that the fate of Greece should be fixed on a durable and glo rious foundation. • If we are well informed, the French Government, in conformity with the spirit of the age, seems to take great interest in the emancipation of Greece.— But even when the Greek question is decided, the European Cabinets will have enough to employ their wisdom and activity to merit the gratitude of the civilised world. '1 hey must use their influence with the Porte to induce the latter to guarantee the com merce of the East, to avert the scourge of the plague, and to secure the property of the Christian subjects. It is by such measures that the Sultan may regain the esteem of Europe, and legitimate his claims to the title of reformer. To continue to reign on a system of hatbarism would be a disgrace to him and to Europe. PkRIS, OCT. 27. We have received from Calais a letter from the Chamber of Commerce of that town, respecting an event which excites general attention there. Our readers will recollect that some time ago prohibited manufactured goods were introduced into France, under cover of the franchises of the English Em bassy. The same fraud has just been repeated on the conveyance to France of the furniture of M. de Polignac. (The Chamber states in the letter, that it had re ceived positive information that there were in the Custom-house eighty packages brought by the Nereid, and addressed to the 'Prince de Foligraw, stated in the invoice, dated London, Bth instant, to contain furniture, books, &c. but that there is in these packages a great quantity of English tulle, the importation 'of which is prohibited.)

They contain no real news, unless we may consider probable reports as such. .The SULTAN is said to have experienced great diffi culty in paying the first instalment. The war being now ended, the Turks begin to discover thl it , at t usstans hat, had great advantages in the second campaigur—and that the GRAND VIZIER had committed a grievous fault in risking the battle of tht ith June—points upon which nobody ever entertained a doubt that took the trouble of considering the relative situation of the Belligerents FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, OCT. 8. The peace having been ratified on the 27th Sept. it is believed that the ratifications will be exchanged by the Middle of October. The Porte is said to have had much difficulty in providing the first instal merit of the sum fixed for the indemnification of the merchants, and this is reported to be the chief ground why the Sultan delayed the ratification thirteen days. If it was difficult to find even this sum, which is so small in proportion to the whole, it does not appear how the Porte will be able to fulfil the engagements into which it has entered with Russia for the plyment of the sums agreed upon, unless Russia should consent to a considerable reduction of the amount, or some new sources opened to fill the treasury of the Sultan, which is now quite exhausted. The English Ambassador, Sir Robert Gordon, is said to have invited Admiral Malcohn to cruise with his squadron off the Dardanelles, Admiral Heyden, on his side, has raised the blockade, and intended to go to Poros. . The Pacha of Scutari, who was inactive during the whole campaign, and must have been well-in formed at the close of it of the. negociations for peace and their progress, seems to have undertaken his expedition towards Sophia, chiefly for the pur pose of making himself talked of, and thereby to re gain the favour of the Sultan. It is said he intends to go to Greece if he should not succeed in getting himself summoned to the capital. ANCONA, OCT. 11. Ft:lions tempests have done much damage in the Mediterranean and the Adriatic. The exchange of couriers between Corfu and London is very active. Last week two couriers to the Lord lligh Comthis sioner passed through this city. It is affirmed that importrnt events will take place in Greece, which demand the attention of the English Government, and that the English troops in the lonian Islands will again receive considerable reinforcements. A fortnight ago about 4,000 troops were landed at Malta. FRANKFORT, OCT. 21. We have received some numbers of the Courricr de Smyrne, which came down to the 13th Septem ber, and are partly filled with transactions of the fourth National Assembly of Greece, the chief par ticulars of which we have already communicated.— The accounts from Constantinople are only to the 7th of September. The Cortrrier speaks in high terms of General Diebitsch and those under him.— On the second campaign it observes-- , " Three things have chiefly decided the issue of the second campaign : the exclusive possession of the Black Sea by the Russians, the particular character of the Grand Vizier, and the talents of the Russian Commander-in-Chief. After the destruction of the Sultan's fleet, the way was opened for the Russians to their victims on the coast of the Euxine, and to the Bosphorus. This is a fact against which no reasoning will avail. If the army of General Diebitsch had been deprived of the mewls of receiving supplies and reinforcements by way of Sizeboli, an'! of threatening the capital from Bourgas and Ainada, the Itussian army would not have ventured to cro,s the Balkan, however weak the resistance that might have been there made to it. The Grand Vizier had the courage of a soldier, and desired to m,asure his strength fairly with the enemy, but his zeal led him to far. But what man of honour can blame him ? His regular troops emu lated his zeal in the battle of the 11th of June, and 40,000 men, after a battle of four hours, obliged the best troops of Russia to give up their whole line of battle, and to bring forward 70,000 men to obtain the victory. On this occasion this new institution proved what it could already perform, and what may be expected from it. But when the well being of an empire is at stake the suggestions of elevated feelings must not always be attended to; this_ battle was a fault, and an immense fault, but such an one as only a great mind could have been guilty of. From that moment General Diebitsch displayed military talents of the highest order, and may be placed among those illustrious men who have distin guished themselves in the wars of our times." Brussels Papers, of the 28th October, con Lain no news. The customary despatches from Lord STUART DE ROTHSAY, at Paris, and Sir THOM,As BAGOT, at the Hague, have been received at the Foreign Office this morning. Baron BcLow, the Prussian Ambassador, had a long conference with the Earl of ABER DEEN this morning at the Foreign Office. The following has been received this morning from our Paris Correspandent " PARIS, OCT. 27. " The separate Treaty between Russia and the Porte, of which you are no doubt in posses sion, regarding the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, appears to me to be liable to much more serious objections than the original or principal Treaty of Adrianople. In all its parts it is admirably calculated to favour those deigns upon the Principalities, for which it is supposed that the policy of Russia has been so long preparing ; and nothing could afford a stronger demonstration of the miserable condi tion to which the Sultan must have been reduced, than his accession to a Treaty containing what is evidently a virtual abdication of his sovereign 'authority. For the nominal sovereignty which the Sultan has been permitted to retain, seems to be scarcely more substantial than that which the King of Sardinia exercises over Cyprus and Jerusalem, or than that which, until the acces sion of his present Majesty, was asserted over France by the Kings of England. The Turks, domiciliated on the territory of the Principalities, are no longer to be permitted to remain there ; and every thing seems carefully calculated to pave the way for the future incorporation of these provinces with the Russian empire. It is true that a tribute is still acknowledged to be due to the Sultan, together with a recompence in money for the duties and services which were hitherto exigible, and which are now abolished ; but the most remarkable circumstance connected with this solitary remnant of sovereignty is, that it is not to be payable for two years, not from the date of the Treaty, but from the indefinite period when the Principalities shall be entirely evacuated by the Russian troops. It is not easy to con ceive a stipulation better calculated to secure the favour of the inhabitants towards a Power it, the relative situation of Russia. The whole popu lation will from henceforth be relieved of the vexatious and innumerable exactions to which they have hitherto been liable ; and as long as they can prevail on their not reluctant protectors to favour them with their personal countenance, ! under any conceivable pretext, they will also be relieved from the pecuniary substitute contem plated in the Treaty. The period of military occupation, two years after the termination of which is fixed as the terminus a quo, from which the exemption from taxes is also to be ter minated, seems as yet to be wholly undefined ; but taking it at ten years from the date of the Treaty, the Moldavians and Wallachians will thus have secured an immunity from all taxation for twelve years certain ; and supposing the Ot toman Power ir, Europe to subsist so long, it will be strange indeed if some event does not arise in the course of so long a period, after the habit of immunity has been so deeply rooted, to enable them to make it perpetual, or perhaps to divert the revenues of these provinces into the channel of the Imperial treasury of St. Peters burgh. In the mean time, however, the whole proceeding has been so dexterously arranged by the Russian diplomatists, that it may perhaps be difficult to find a sufficient reason, consistently with the recognized principles of international law, for the interference of the great Powers of Europe, whose common interests are likely to be affected by the important change which is now to take place in Eastern affairs, unless it shall be thought that such a case of necessity has arisen, as to entitle them to regard the Ottoman autho rity as virtually annihilated, and to erect in its room some new form of Government, founded on the broad basis of civil right, and suited in some degree to the present progress of civiliza tion. Sooner or later it is clear that something of this kind must be attempted ; and it would surely be better to engage in it while the world is in a state of tranquillity, than to wait until some new cause of disturbance has arisen, and until the elements of discord, which are already fermenting in more than one State of Europe, shall have precipitated the world into a general war. It is in vain to suppose that any effort of human diplomacy can ever restore the power of the Sult:mn to that place which it has so long been admitted to occupy in the general balance of the affairs of Europe. Like OHC of the hu man figures discovered in Herculaneum or Pom peii, or the still more ancient tenants of the Pyramids of Egypt, the power of the Sultan could not be touched or breathed upon without falling to pieces. It has been touched—it is in the act of falling—and it is time for those who are interested in the event to make immediate preparations for the consequences. " The opponents of the French Ministry are still as active as ever in preparing for its over throw. A great number of Deputies are already in Paris, where they have regular meetings for the purpose of arranging a system of opposition for the approaching Session of the Chambers. The refusal of the Budget is a point on which all the opponents of the Ministry will be united, by whatever shades of opinion they may happen to be distinguished ; but I believe it is not yet settled whether the whole of the Ministerial mea sures of finance are to be resisted en masse, or whether they are to be discussed and objected to in detail. " A recent measure of the Ministry, which affects the feelings at least of a considerable number of individuals, now occupies the atten tion of the Society of Paris, although it has not yet been subjected to discussion by the press.— You are aware that patents of nobility and marks of personal distinction are granted in this country with much more profusion than in England ; and as the fees of the patent right, or other inferior privilege, are considerable in amount, it has long been customary for the party who has recom mended himself to the Royal favour, to content himself with the usual notice of his new dignity in the Moniteur, and with kissing hands at the next levee, without incurring the expense of ap plying at the Herald-office for the written voucher of his title. During the late Ministry, and at the time of the accession of the present Cabinet, a great number of individuals found themselves in this situation ; but within these few days a Royal Ordonnance has appeared, recalling all such honorary distinctions as have not been con firmed by the necessary patents—leaving, how ever, a short period to the parties to apply, if so disposed, for the confirmation of their titles re quired by law. Such, however, is the keenness of the feeling of hostility to the present Mi nistry, that. I believe in a great number of in stances the individuals thus situated will decline to apply for their patent rights within the period limited by the present ordonnance. There are, some, no doubt, who refuse the distinction on separate and independent grounds. Of this number is M. Ternaux, a distinguished member of the Chamber of Deputies, and one of the individuals who originated the Parisian Associa tion against the levy of taxes unauthorised by law. This gentleman is one of the most enter priaing manufacturers in France, and is engaged in a great variety of commercial undertakings.— He has lately purchased a large estate in one of the northern provinces, and having converted the extensive chateau into a linen manufactory, he is about to engage in the culture of flax, for the purpose of bringing that branch of manufacture into notice in his neighbourhood. M. Ternaux was one of the individuals who was destined for the honours of the Peerage. To a man of his great wealth the fees of the patent were of course a matter of no consideration ; but he has, never theless, uniformly declined to make the neces sary application for the muniments of his title— and, unlike a number of those who are similarly situated, he has also declined to avail himself of the unsolicited honours which had been awarded hi m , alleging, as his motive, that he would not h a ve his sons ashamed of their father's occupa tion, and referring to the letters of rehabilita tion, which had been obtained by such of the emigrant noblesse as had been obliged, in the course of their exile, to have recourse for the means of subsistence to mercantile pursuits, which he naturally enough considers as an indi rect imputation on those pursuits which have raised him to so respectable a station among the 1 reasonable classes of his countrymen." In our columns of to-day our readers will find the account of an ir , t^"r' , ting appeal that was brought forward at the Devon Quarter Sessions, where a respectable individual, named MER CHETTI,appealed against the decision ofsome local Magistrates, by which decision he was prevented from opening an hotel at Torquay. The ap peal, we are glad to find, was successful : and is important so far as it tends to break one of the numerous heads of the overgrown Hydra of monopoly. The facts of the case, which was an unusually hard one, are simply these : There is only one hotel at Torquay, a watering place which, from the transcendant beauty of its situation, and the extraordinary mildness and salubrity of its climate, is much fre quented during the autumnal, and more eveci ally the winter months. Within the last rew years, from being merely a fishing hamlet, it has grown up to be one of the most favourite spots in the South of Devon, and as such, the want of hotels was severely felt, and often complained of. In this exigence, M ERCHETTI, with a laudable spirit of enterprize, resolved to supply th e deficiency, .and with this view applied for leave to open a respectable and economical hotel. Strange to say, his application was refused l There was not the slightest attempt made to impeach his character ; but it so happened, that the only hotel-keeper at Torquay was an influen tial man (a tenant, or something of the sort) with one of the leading Magistrates of the neighbourhood. Of course, therefore, he must lie supported, which could only be done by re• fusing poor MERCHETTI his license. Mean while the evil increased apace ; • and the necessity for a quiet and cheap hotel becoming every day more imperative, MERCHETTI was persuaded to appeal from the former decision, and obtain for the public that convenience which they so much needed. The appeal, we repeat, was successful, and will be the means of making Torquay one of the most convenient, as it is already one of the most romamtic watering-places in the kingdom. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, Twzr.rz o' aver. The Express from Paris, received this morning, having brought the information that the last act of the ratifi catbm of peace was accomplished, which now must de cidedly put at rest the public curiosity, and that Europe may expect with canfidrnce seven] years of peace, this has had some little effect on our Funds this morning, which opened at 911 for the Account, since which they have readied 91t ; but owing to some Money Stock being brought to Market, Consols receded to 91e for the Acc, ,, unt, and 91 for Money.

The other defendant, named Chatl l ° l4 was the broker by whom the levy was made. The circumstances of the case were shortly there. Il e plaintiff occupied a room in a house which had beetle'. rently parcha , ed by Nixon, the defendant, but she !gig . afraid to pay him lest she should have to pay over agate' he directed the other defendant to l e vy a di s tress, Wh it , was accordingly done. The distress was levied for 2 ! lie., but only 21. 14s. was due, and for this the actie ° was brought.

THE BANK OF ErattAg' This was an action ari s ing out of th e f orger i e s of Ibe late Fauntleroy, and the question to be decided 7, whether or not, when the Bank of England transfer p.:rtienlar stock by means of a forged warrant of attml e li the party from whose name it is so transferred can coot them to re-transfer that very same stock, or whether v e ease only requires them to pay the amount of stock tlO transferred. Mr. Sijeant SFANKIE (with whom were Mr. Pelle and Mr. KELLY) conducted the plaintiff 3 U W s' case, and ° . l Serjeant BOSANQET, Mr. Serjcant anr, Mr. Sefj ean 'FADDY, and Mr. Bom.aND, appeared for the defenda o* The trial is likely to occupy the whole day. • Mr. Se: jeant BOSANQUET said he wished en the 00 to state thus publicly that the Bank of England never re fused to pry the amount of any stock, improperly OW fermi, indeed they could not refuse so to do, but they c 0 I) ; tended that the Act of Parliament never contemplated dill in such case they were bound to re-transfer that partial ° stork. The CHIEF JusrxcE suggested from the importance ° f the question, that it would be b e tter to agree to a spec ial ease, it was too much to expect that he should decide th e point without mature deliberation. Mr. Serjeant BOSANQUET said it was necessary, first produce evidence as to the usage of the Bank, which 0 "" accordingly done, and had not concluded when our It e ' porter left. The question is one of much importance, inasmuch If if the Bank are liable to transfer the same stock that b° been sold by means of a forgery, the party elaim i d will be entitled to all the dividends arising from that stocl(9 from the date of its being so transferred.
