These Memoirs are drawn from a Journal in which, during a pe riod of fifty years, Mr. Al ilberforce was accustomed to record his Private sentiments and his remarks on the incidents of the day-- from Lis Correspondence with his distinguished cotemporaries, Mr. Pitt, Lord Grenville, Lord Melville, Mr. Windham, Mr. Canning, Lora Liverpool, Lord Muncaster, the Emperor Alexander, Prince Talleyrand, La Fayette, Jeremy Benthani, Dr. Currie, Dr. Burgh, Bishop Porteus, the Rev, William Mason, Dean Milner, the Rev.

Crupic , peculiar to ConsLrvatisni"—which vyo h w: e, no hesitation in saying, is a sly, grave, ironical witti cism worthy of Dean SWIFT. The Reformers of Glossop and its neighbourhood, on Thursday last, gave a public dinner to the Hon. G. H. CAVENDISH and H. EVANS, Esq., the representatives of North Derbyshire. The company, as might have been expected, was numerous, and of the first respectability. Flow could it be otherwise, when the object was to celebrate one of the greatest victories gained by the Liberals during the late elec tions ? We heartily wish that the excellent organiza tion, the bold and active spirit, the determined resis tance to intimidation, and undue influence of every hind, which North Derbyshire displayed, had been found in other counties. We should not, in that case, have witnessed the rampant triumph of the petty ty rants of the soil, in so many of the agricultural districts. On Mr. CAVENDISH'S health being given from the Chair, the Honourable Gentleman made an excel ent speech, which we should have been happy, ad our limits allowed, to transfer entire to our We can, however, find room only for a very small portion of it. After alluding to former victories over the factious gang which infests the county of Derby, and declaring his resolution to stand forth in defence of Reform, and to cafry out its princi- columns. pies to their full extent in practical measures, the Hon. Member thus proceeded—" He would show his attach ment to those principles which he thought were calcu lated for the benefit of the people, and would support the present Government, who had won the confidence and attachment of the people, because they were wil ling to give such measures as were in accordance with the wish and voice of the people ; and not only this, but they supported the present Government, be cause, if they went out of office, the Tories would come in. It remained to be seen whe ther Lord MELBOURNE'S present Government would be able to maintain their position. He trusted and believed that they would be able to maintain their posts.—(Cheers.) He trusted that they would find that their majority would increase.— (Cheers.) He knew that great efforts would be made on the part of the Tories to send in peti tions, particularly against the Irish Members, in order to upset their majority ; but with respect to the only Irish elections of which he knew any thing, if the petitions were not founded on better reasons than were at present alleged, there would be very little hope of the Tories being successful.—(Cheers.) Haying referred to the public measures brought forward by her MAJEsTY's present Ministers, the Honourable Member took occasion to congratulate the meeting upon the brilliant success which Bail attended theii: exertions at the recent registra tion." He next alluded to several charges of a per sonal nature which had been brought against him by _ _ his opponents. The Honourable Member concluded by expressing his conviction that the cause of Reform was spreading, and that the violent attacks now making upon it by the advocates of Toryism, had entirely failed.—(Loud cheers.) The speech of Mr. EVANS was in unison with that of his colleague. The Hon. Member gave the Tories some bald hits, which we think they will not soon for get, though their memories are extremely complaisant when they have anything unfavourable to Toryism to remember. We have papers from Madrid to the 6th inst., but they contain no positive intelligence of any moment. General NA RVA EZ, so long in disgrace, has again ap peared in the capital. We would like much to see him placed as Commander-in-Chief at the head of the army. He is the only Spanish officer that displayed anything like high military talents since the commence ment of the civil war. In the southern provinces the elections have been disturbed by the violence of the ultra-Liberal and moderate parties. Some outrages, but not of a very serious character, occurred in Cadiz. At Cordova the Priests had the game to themselves, and everywhere the ecclesiastics meddled and tampered with the electors in such a manner as greatly to pro voke the old Constitutionalists. No Ministry has yet been appointed, nor did the Cortes in their sittings hazard an observation or ask a question on the subject. From the theatre of war no intelligence was received later than the accounts published in this journal yes terday. The whole of the Paris papers of Thursday have been received. Their contents are unimportant. No telegraphic despatches, either from Spain or Africa ; and the private correspondence of the Journals not of a later date than the accounts published in the London papers of yesterday. On the subject of the rumoured illness of the Pretender, the Courrier Fran cais—a ►ilreral, well-informed Journal—has the following inte resting article : " For some days past the protectors and friends of Don Carlos have been more alarmed for the health than for the military operations of the Prince. An orderly officer who returned to Paris last week, and who has already passed the Rhine, brought information sufficiently alarming to ren der any casualty probable, and the first point agreed upon is that everything is to be kept as secret as possible. The Pretender, as far as can be ascertained, is not attacked with a characteristic organic malady, but with a combination of evils that have reduced him to a state of physical and moral languor, against which the least ignorant of his physicians have been unable to find a remedy. He himself appears resigned, and thinks only of his salvation in another world. The multiplicity of his devotional exercises, his self-imposed obligations, and his almost daily confessions, are beginning to weary his most attached followers—even those who dig nify him before-hand with the title of "Ile Sainted King.' Don Carlos, however, pays no attention to their murmurs, as he believes his end fast approaching ; and, if any credit may be given to some of his attendants, who have no inte rest in concealment, he has already made his will. He leaves to the Bishop of Leon and his colleagues the task of attending to his temporal affairs, but he will be guided only by his own ideas in matters which he conceives inte resting to the salvation of his soul." Happily for his friends, Don CARLOS cannot be queath to them the tortures of remorse which haunt him day and night, filling his mind with agony and despair. The cold-blooded murders, perpetrated by his commands, will not be forgotten. The cries of the widow and the orphan ring incessantly in his ears. There is no memory so faithful as that of the guilty— no monitor so stern, remorseless, sleepless, and impla cable, as conscience. Die when he may, posterity will point to the Durango decree as his appropriate epitaph. The French organ of the Carlist faction, the Gazette de France, has a letter from St. Jean de Luz of the 7th inst., filled with execrations of England and the English, in consequence of the injuries inflicted upon the Carlists by the San Sebastian expedition of the 33, for the liberation of the Christino prisoners at Marquina. General O'DONNELL is styled the " in cendiary," it being alleged that he burnt the villages of Deba, Motireo, and Ondana, besides committing several other wanton and barbarous excesses. The testimony of the correspondent of a journal so noto rious for its falsehoods, relative to every thing English as the Gazette de France, is worth very little indeed. Since the commencement of the civil war in the Peninsula, hardly a day passed in which it did not invent and give currency to some calumny, calculated to excite a detestation of England in the minds of its readers. Now this, to say the least of it, is unkind, if not ungrateful. Though ever ready to sympathize with the French Liberal party, England never refused the rights of hospitality to the exiled oppressors of France. If we recognized LOUIS PHILLIPPE, we granted an asylum to CHARLES the TENTH. We restored the Bourbons, and kept them Tile publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o'clock. ' • - T.' • t~ ~~ ~~v LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1837. Our Contemporary, the Morning Post, has this day devoted not less than four columns to a report of a " Grand Conservative Manifestation in South Lin colnshire," which he tells us is a striking proof of the 'Wonderful progress that Tory principles are m akin g throu g h out the country. Our Contemporary, what ever else may be his merits, is by no means remar kable for the excellence of his reasoning faculties, or he would not, from the simple circumstance that the Lincolnshire yeomanry are fond of a good dinner, deduce the inference that 'Toryism is growing rapidly into favour among them. We all know how these " Conservative Manifestations" are got up ; that more t han one half of the company are seduced into at tendance by the bribe of a good dinner gratis, the only obj ec t of those who have the direction of such e ntertainments, being to get together as large an as aernblage as possible, in order to create what is called " a sensation" in the district. Many people at ttud Conservative dinners who are by no means zealous partizans of Conservatism ; but who, hav ing an idle hour to spare, and a ticket thrust 'utn their hands, think that they may just as well a vail themselves of the tempting lure, and devote an evening to conviviality ; knowing well that it is in their Power to shirk the speeches, whenever they are not absurd enough to excite laughter, and too noisy to pro voke sleep. We have no doubt that it was by some s uch means that the South Lincolnshire Conservative have was got up , w hi c h neve rtheless appears to n ave been a failure ; for though " tables were laid for nearly f ourteen hun d re d peop l e, " we d o n ot gather from the report h ow many rea lly did attend, and conclude,w, therefore, that it was about one half, is taking the most favourable view of tile case. Lord WINCH I LSEA was in the chair a staun c h, an d we b e li eve , co nscientious Tory bi got, but f ar too muc h a ddi cte d to t h e d o leful in his Or atory. For instance, he was convinced, he said, that if any one would take the trouble to retrace the Pa ges of our nati ona l hi s tory, and take a survey of the m a uY dangers w hi c h a t diff e rent periods had awaited thi s country, b ot h f rom f ore i gn an d domestic foes, great and i mm i nent as t h ey h a d b een , they would sin into perfect insignificance when compared with `"e l( frightful position in which the country at present stood. He w ou ld no t co n c eal from them the danger which awaited the throne and altars of their country, b he could tell them that those dangers would not 11 °me less by their turning their backs upon them. reequired situation of the country was indeed most painful; the wisdom of past ages to know how to reehsoe,ue her from her present difficulties." This is a l ee, undiluted sample of Tory twaddle. More :Pecially rich is the Noble Lord's allusion to the wisdom•, of past ages," to which—in the modest Tries that they have none of their own—the "es are so fond of referrinff. The remainder of the evenirw r b speeches were of a precisely similar cha racter, with the sole exception of one made by the 4i-en:its of Slleriff of I ., URANB Y , who, in speaking of the Hig h v el lite county observed that he " was pre led f rom coming to the dinner by conscientious THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1837. on th 3 throne longer than they deserved to reign. - We might have recompensed ourselves for our services at the expense of France ; but the treaty of Vienna is a monument of our generous disinterestedness, and, of the zeal with which we laboured to preserve intact the territory of our great Continental neighbour. Where ever France has been successful since that period we have rejoiced with her ; and when internal outrages hreatened the stability of her Government, we have invariably deplored their existence, and pointed out what seemed to us the most effectual way of removing them, with the least detriment to the nation. We can assure the Royalist faction that we are equally disin terested as regards the Peninsula. We want not to deprive Spain of an inch of territory, either on the Calabrian coast or any where else. All we desire is to see the country tranquil, and the Government so constituted as to recognize the just rights, and obtain the entire confidence of the Spanish people. San Sebastian is one of the four keys of the kingdom, and were we to relinquish its defence, the QUEEN'S Govern ment could not prevent its being made the depot of the Carlists. Under the Sardinian flag the Great Northern Powers would pour supplies into the Basques, and thus an European war would be the immediate result of a less friendly co-operation on the part of Great Britain. The following account of the victory gained by CARBO, in Catalonia, is official:-- " The Spanish Consul at Perpignan has sent details of the victory gained by Carbo in Catalonia, which show that this affair was of much greater importance than it appeared to be from the telegraphic despatch given on Wednesday. The united bands of Forcadell, Tristany, Mallorca, and Saballs were engaged in it. According to a letter addressed to the Consul on th 9 3d from Olot, Carbo led several charges in person at the head of the cavalry, and made dreadful havoc among the Carlists. He was obliged to use all his influence with his men to induce them to giie quarter. This letter states that several of the Carlist chiefs were killed, and among them Saballs and Mallorca, and adds that Tristany was at one time a prisoner, but was rescued by one of his own men. Tue Consul has also received a letter of the sth from the political chief of Girona, which agrees with that from Olot in stating that the Carlists had 300 men killed, but makes the prisoners amount to 150 instead of 103, and adds that they had 800 wounded, and lost. 1,000 muskets. This letter also adds to the deaths of Sa balls and Mallorca tint of Forcadell, which, as is above ob served, must be erroneous, since that chief is with Cabrera in Arragon." Accounts from Naples of the 26th ult. state that the cholera continues to rage with unabated fury in that city. Out of a population of 30,000 as many as 7,000 were carried off by the epidemic. The following statement relative to the finances and educational improvement of Rtisia is interesting : A report from the Russian Minister of Finance, M. Krankin, shows that the National Debt amounts to 936,333,574 roubles five kopecks (in paper money 1,051,966,931 francs), a very considerable burden for this empire, which, with its immense territories, has but a limited revenue, and, at the same time, is sulicet to an enormous necessary expenditure. The St. Peters burgh journals contain an imperial uk&se of - the 2:2d ult., ordering the establishment of two central schools for the education of the children of the poor nobles of the Polish provinces incorporated with Russia, and also for the children of persons employed in the Government ser vice in that part of the country. One is to be erected at Grodno, the other at Kicw. The funds necessary for their maintenance are to be raised by a sort of land-tax, and where this is inadequate, the deficiency is to be supplied from the Imperial Treasury. When qualified, the scholars are to be removed to one of the Universities of Moscow, Krakow, Kiew, or Casan, and, on their education being completed, are to serve the Government for eight years. If they are Roman Catholics, Protestants, Mahometans, or Jews, they are to serve five of these years in one of the Governments of Great Russia, and the remaining three in that in which they were born. Those who are of the Greek church are to have immediate appointments in their native Governments. After the expiration of eight years, they are at liberty either to continue in the service of the Govern ment, or to follow their own pursuits." Annexed are the only other extracts worthy of notice. We suspect that from the Gazette de France to be merely a fabrication : We have not yet the official account of the advantage gained in Catalonia by General Carbo, announced in the telegraphic dispatch of the 9th from Narbonne ; but parti culars collected from different quarters have been trans mitted to Paris by the French Consul at Perpignan. These statements make it much more important than it appears.to be in the telegraphic dispatch.—Journal des Debugs. SPAIN. (Private Correspondence of the Gazette de France.) " PERPIGNAN, OCT. 5. " Private letters from Catalonia inform us that General Tristany, having under his command Lears de Copones and 'l'orilla, has completely defeated at the village of Veladean the Christine Brigadier General Carbo, who had nearly 800 men killed and wounded, and from whom the Carlists have taken 400 prisoners."

The Learned Gen tleman left England for the Mediterranean a few days since. Lord Charles Spencer Churchill is recovering from the dangerous disease under which he has been labouring for the last three weeks, and from which, at the early pe riod of his illness, but little hopes of recovery were enter tained. His Lordship's disease is an internal abscess, for which he is attended by Mr. Guthrie and Mr. Teevan, who, we believe, now entertain little doubt respecting his Lord ship's ultimate recovery.

SUPPLIES FOR THE METROPOLIS.-It is esti-. - - _ mated that from May, 183 G, to May, 1837, there were shipped from four Scotch ports (Leith, Dundee, Aberdeen, and Inverness) to London and Hull 9,606 cattle, 6,613 sheep, 7,569 lambs, 197 horses, and 2,162 pigs. In addi tion to these there were also shipped 11,621 barrel-bulk (or about 1,500 tons) of killed meat. This is exclusive of the trade from the south-western parts of Scotland. The wharfage at London on live stock is very heavy, varying from 3s. to ss. for a single ox. s. The Postmaster-General has ordered that from and after the 6th of the present month all the pecuniary advan tages which formerly belonged to the Postmasters of towns in the delivery of letters and Newspapers within their re spective deliveries, must be accounted for to the General Post-office. The Minister Von Ompteda is in Hanover, but it is said he will shortly return to England with the rank and state of a Cabinet Minister.. The garrison of Hanover is to be increased by one battalion in order to rende the duty less heavy. The Czarowicz, the eldest son of the Emperor of Russia, is expected on a visit at the Court of Wurtemberg. M. Bardel, the French Vice-Consul at Talcahuana and Conception, has obtained permission from the autho. rities of Chili for French ships to fish for whales in the Bay of Conception. We find orders have been issued to the several sur veyors of taxes to cause parties to be assessed for their car riages in default of their being properly marked within four tent days from this time, agreeably to the Act of 1 Vic. c. 64. A case has been lately decided by the Judges that all such carriages are liable to be charged unless the name be painted in " separate, clear, intelligible, and distinct words." One Yarmouth herring boat on Tuesday las brought in 80,00 Q fish, !NSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY) (Before Mr. Commissioner HARRIS.) Jeremiah Sever, whose case was before the Court on a former occasion, was brought up again to-day.. The insol vent's discharge was opposed by Mr. COOKE, for a person named Newsom, and supported by Mr. WOODRUFFE. The insolvent, an old and decrepid captain in the navy, on half-pay, became acquainted four years ago with his op posing creditor, Newsom, who had been in the Commissa riat Department, iu White Cross-street prison, in which place, singularly enough, they were now both ensconsed. It appeared they had resided together, and various money transactions had taken place between them. Newsom was possessed of some property, which he mortgaged, and after wards he accepted accommodation bills, on which he was arrested in consequence of their not being paid. The prin cipal features in the case were as to a mortgage granted by Newsom to the insolvent, for a very considerable sum ; and also as to the existence or non-existence of an account-book, in which the consideration for that mort- gage was stated. The evidence in both instances being conflicting, the consideration of the case on the pre vious hearing was adjourned for more satisfactory evi dence. The insolvent, who had been in the infir mary of the prison since his incarceration, was a Lieute nant in the navy at the time of the mutiny at the Nore, and was •one of the officers most active in securing Parker, the principal instigator of that disgraceful affray. After a good deal of discussion the case was further adjourned. to the sittings after the recess, and was ordered to be referred to Mr. Cresswell, the Examiner, for further inquiry. The Insolvent complained bitterly of being again sent to prison. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLO CK. We have received Canton papers to the 10th May this morning, from which we extract the following : " GENERAL CHAMBER or COMMERCE.—In consequence of an enquiry whether Captains of ships should be bound to receive or deliver their cargoes on Sunday, the Com mittee were unanimously of opinion that they would be justified in refusing the proposition. " The report of a sub-committee appointed to take into consideration the period for which sellers of opium should he liable for weight, damage, or inferiority, was read and approved of. " An enquiry being made as to the duties payable by rice laden ships was unanimously agreed to. " On inquiry being made as to whether it is the duty of commanders of vessels at Whampoa to detain in custody any of their crew who may unfortu nately become implicated in a case of Chinese homicide, it appeared to be the sense of the Committee that it belonged exclusively to the Chinese Government to vindicate the authority of its own laws by apprehending those who may be accused of violating them, and that without undeniable proof of wilful murder, justly involving the extreme penalty of the law, it would be inexpedient for the commander of a vessel to detain the accused party, since it would be afford ing facilities to the Chinese to enforce their barbarous and unjust demand of life for life.

To the present time we have no further arrivals ; but the British Funds are in an improving state, and Consols have reached 93 during the morning ; at present may be quoted 92-1-, 93 for the Account ;92 for Money. The public are now convinced that it is safer to invest their capital in the English funds than in the Foreign, par ticularly those of Spain and Portugal—on the prices of which no dependence can be placed for two days together. It is generally expected that a further advance in British Securities will take place by the investments of those per sons who have received their dividends.

In the early part of the week the niPAet continued as dull, and the demand as languid, as 'we noticed in our last ; and buyers had a trifling advavtag,e in prices ; but during the last two days there has been more inquiry, with a stea dier market, prices closing the same as this day week. Ex porters have taken 900 bales of Surat and 400 American —Speculators nothing. The sales to-day are 3,500 to 4,000 bales of all kinds. Yesterday morning, siliout half-past nine o'clock, the body of a very respectably dressed man, between fifty and fifty-five years of age, was discovered floating in the river about two hundred yards above Battersea-bridge—it was brought ashore, and given into the charge of the pa rochial authorities. The deceased is unknown. Some pa per writings, torn into innumerable pieces, were found in his pockets. Yesterday evening, between six. and seven o'clock, .1 the following appalling and melancholy accident occurred to Miss Emma Dalton, the eldest daughter of Alfred Dal ton, Esq., residing in Manchester.srtreet, Manchester-square, a remarkably fine and accomplirled young lady, who was , accidentally bur n t i n a s h oc k;- ng manner by her dre s s tak ing fire.

In her dreadful situation she ran from the room screaming for assistance. The footman hearing her shrieks ra n u p stairs, arid, taking off his coat, enveloped her burning dress and 'esti; ,guished the fire. Surgical assistance urea promptly procured when Messrs.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE CITY.--The inten- tion her Majesty has expressed of proceeding to the City on the 9th of November next has caused no little bustle and excitement on the route it is expected her Majesty will take, and many are the plans in agitation among her Ma jesty's liege subjects as to the best mode of welcoming their Sovereign on the occasion of her first visit to her capital. The inhabitants of the Strand and other portions of the royal parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, through which the procession will pass, are concerting some plan of operations in order to signalize their loyalty to our youthful So vereign. By some it is proposed to erect a grand triumphal arch with flowers, banners, and emblematical devices, which, with the addition of a military band, would no doubt have an imposing effect. Others suggest having a grand gro tesque pageant, after the fashion of the Shakspeare ju bilee, with illuminations at night. The Strand will, it is expected, be gravelled all the way from Charing-cross to Temple-bar, and the coup d'(eil of the royal ca valcade will no doubt be magnificent in the extreme. The poor of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, as well as of most of the city parishes, will, it is expected, be regaled with old English fare, roast beef and plum-pudding, and every .thing is to wear the aspect of joyous mirth and hilarity. A contract has been entered into with a house on Lukate hill to illuminate Temple-bar on both sides, e.iid the exterior of Guildhall, so as to render tl:.esce ancient fabrics one mass of lampsi tastefully arrP:aged, for 4501. The Blue-coat boys will be dispocA in St. Paul's Church-yard, whicia, no doubt %sill be an excellent point to view tht cortege pass. The upholsterer's con tract for fitting up Guildhall, the throne, and other de corations for the occasion, alone amounts to 8,0001. The work is now proceeding with the greatest celerity possible, and it is expected that the present will be the most magni ficent display of civic pomp, wealth and power, ever at tempted in modern times. The tailors, milliners, and mantua-makers are already in full employ, and are putting forth circulars and advertisements, calling the public at : tention to the occasion, and notices of first and second floors • being to lot to view the procession on the line of road are quite common, and for which enormous prices are de manded, INSANITY. Many statements have been published of late years tend ing to show that the number of lunatics in this country is rapidly increasing. A writer in the Number of the Foreign Quarterly Review which has just appeared, in an instruciive article on the " Statistics of Insanity at Charenton," by that eminent French physician, M. Esquirol, contends that the notion of a positive increase in the class of persons visited with that severest of human afflictions is unfounded. " There is an opinion afloat," says this Reviewer, " that insanity is on the increase in this country, and the 'opinion is in some degree borne out by a comparison of late regis ters with those of older date. Dr. Powel, who first directed attention to this particular department, grounded his.belief of a positive increase on the apparent augmentation in the London registers for lunatics. These included all lunatics confined in private asylums throughout England, which gave an increase as compared with eight quinquennial periods from 1775 to 1814 ; the aggregate for the former being 1,783, for the latter 3,647. This is a conclusion which Dr. Burrows says is not borne out by facts, us the register does not comprehend lunatics confined in unlicensed houses. Comparing the lunatics with the census of the population for 1800, Dr. Powel arrived at the conclusion that there was one lunatic to 7,300 persons, a conclusion which shows how absurd it was to attempt a statistic account of insanity with means so inadequate. Pinel thought that the increase in the returns of the insane might be accounted for in various ways—irregularity in former returns, and increase of the in mates of asylums, from the better arrangements which now prevail. He says that the greater the liberty in any country, the greater the number of insane is likely to be. " In 1806 a Select Committee was appointed to inquire into this subject, and in the report which they sent in, they gave for England and Wales an aggregate of 2,248 lunatics. In 1815 another report was made, which gave nearly double the number, but which increase should be ascribed to the inaccuracy of former returns rather than to any positive augmentation in the number of the insane. "By the returns which were made in 1819, Dr. Bur rows found the aggregate of lunatics confined in public hos pitals and asylums to be 1,456, in private asylums 2,585, in all for England and Wales 4,041, to which he added half the number for those confined in private asylums not registered. In this way he raised the whole number to 6,000, which hs considered the nearest approximation to the total number of lunatics in Great Britain, and which gives us a proportion of about one lunatic in 2,000 persons. In 1826, Sir A. Halliday made a return of the lunatics confined in public and private asylums in England and Wales, giving as the gross amount 4,782, to which be adds those of whom the law takes no notice, as living with their friends, and concludes, from an experience of twenty-five years, that the number confined in England and Wales, in public and private asylums, exceeds 8,000 ; yet, with this apparent augmentation, he is not disposed to believe that insanity is on the increase with -us. He estimates the in sane of Scotland at 3,700. " In 1829 lie sent in another report, which gave for Eng land Wales 6,806 lunaticF, and rates the idiots at 5,741, to which he adds for places not returned 1,500, in all 14,000. The proportion of insane to the population is, he says—England 1 in 1,000 ; Wales 1 in 800 ; Scotland 1 in 574. In the gross amount of 14,000, the paupers are esti mated at 11,000. " Some very curious returns have been made, showing the influence of different habits and pursuits in life in producing insanity. In twelve English counties, where the population is employed in agriculture, the proportion of insane to the general population is 1 in 820, and the lunatics are to idiots as 5 to 7. In twelve counties where the people arc diffe rently employed, the insane are to the population as 1 to 1,200. People who work in mines are reported to be less liable to insanity than those who work on the surface. Is it because they are less exposed to the exciting influences of busy life, which are ever passing around us in our inter course with the world, and from which miners are for a great portion of their life withdrawn ? " In six maritime counties the lunatics are to the popu lation as 1 to 1,000, and idiots are to lunatics as 2 to 1 ; while in six counties of North Wales there are 7 idiots to 1 lunatic, and 1 lunatic to 8.50. " In South Wales the proportion of lunatics to the po pulation is 1 to 7.50, and idiots are to the insane as I to Throughout Wales, as in many parts of England, there is •a preponderance on the side of female lunatics over males ; female idiots arc also more numerous than males ;in Wales the excel is very great. The explana tion afforded for this is, that nearly half the population is employed in agriculture. There is a general impression that, in agricultural districts, where people work hard and where females are employed in labour, the violent exertions required in such occupations produce distortion of the body, and may very materially effect the growth and de velopment of the brain, and even the form of the cranium in utcro. It is well known that females are obliged to work during the whole of their pregnancy, And there can be no doubt of the injury which such occupations must entail on the offspring. " According to a return made for Scotland in 1821. the proportion of lunatics to the population is 1 to 474, but little reliance can be placed on this as a correct estimate of the state of insanity there." On Wednesday morning a young woman, named Amelia Duncan, threw herself into the Ravensbourne river, at Deptford, while in a state of intoxication. The body was scarcely cold when taken out, and every effort was re sorted to restore animation,.but without effect. Last night an inquest was held on the body, when the only reason as signed for the rash act was a letter stated to have been re ceived by her on the above morning with the information that a young sailor to whom she was much attached had died at sea. Verdict accordingly. The deceased was of the class called " unfortunate," and had only been out of Maid stone gaol (after 29 committals) nine days. Two privates, named Doran and benison, belong ing to the Royal Regiment, were tried by Court-martial, in Athlone garrison, last week. The first, for repeated desertion, selling of necessaries, and incorrigible bad conduct, was sentenced to receive 150 lashes, which sentence was carried into effect on Saturday ; and the latter, for a similar offence, was sentenced to 100 lashes, which were inflicted on Monday last. We understand that both these men will get blank discharges in consequence of their bad conduct. The new safety coach, which was recently de scribed, has been engaged for the Brighton Road, and will start in a few days, accompanied, it is anticipated, by the Taglioni and Duvernay fashionable drags, and a number of distinguished individuals as judges of the experiments to be performed. It is guaranteed to maintain its perpendi- cularity running at full speed with the near wheels off, and ;he far ones on, or vice versa ; also with one or two wheels working on a bank three feet high, and the others in the drain ; nay, even with its axle broke. The coach has a very elegant appearance, and the upright supporters which rise from the beds and axle, passing between the body and the boots, and by means of which the vehicle maintains its vertical position, are concealed from view. The principle has already been taken up for private carriages, several of which are now building. On Monday an inquest was held in Dublin on the body of Jane bunne, who had been buried since Sunday week, and who had been disinterred fer the purpose of in vestigatiag the manner she had come by her death, it being alleged it was in consequence of the general ill-treatment , and in particular a severe beating, received from her hus band, a coach-maker and pawnbroker in Mary-street. An anonymous letter to the Magistrates led to the prisoner's arrest, and the inquest. The jury returned a verdict to the following effect :—" That Jane Dunne came by her death in consequence of a severe heating inflicted on her by her husband." The prisoner was committed on the Co roner's warrant. Yesterday morning the owner of a dog-cart was pro ceeding along the Deptford Lower-road, when a dog (a small one) ran on the footpath, which raised the ire of its cruel master, who beat the poor animal over the head with a thick stick until it fell dead at his feet. Several persons then seized the cart, and broke it into several pieces, and would have inflicted summary punishment on the wretch. but he sneaked off, amidst the execrations of all present. Yesterday afternoon, between four and five q'elock, an elegantly dressed female, of prepossessing appearance, apparently about eighteen years of age, in an advanced stage of pregnancy, attempted to commit suicide by throw ing herself into the Surrey Canal, on the Kent-road. She was, however, after great difficulty, got out alive by a la bouring mar,, named Smith, wt..° was passing at the time. The unhappy girl statedthe.i she had been seduced by a gentleman under a pr',mise of marriage, but that lie had left days ago without performing it. She gave EnglandeSmitii a few twr, sovereigns. ZoOLOciicAL GARDENS.—One of a pair of Dro medaries about five years of age, and which have been in this collection for nearly two years, has .recently bred at the gardens, being the only instance of the kind known in Europe. The young one, which is a female, is now five weeks old, stands about five feet high to the top of its hump, and is remarkably vigorous and healthy. The ar rangements for protecting the giraffes from the incle:nency of the winter are complete, and most of the other animals have been removed into their winter quarters. The former animals enjoy good health and are in very fine condition. They appear to have become almost acclimatised, and one of them has grown nearly three feet taller since its arrival in this country. The Lords of the Treasury have given their sanction to a loan of 1,950/., payable by instalments, and at 41. per cent., and a grant of 1,9611. as a free gift, for making a new road from Cahirciveen to Kenmarc. This road has been indispensably necessary. Their Lordships have also sanc tioned a loan of 1,500/., and a grant of 1,501/.. for making a new road from Tralee to Castlemain,betweent bridge and Castlemain.—Tralee Mercury,
