THE SITN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1835. STROUD-LORD JOHN RUSSELL. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The most lively interest was excited in the town and neighbourhood of Stroud on Monday, by the announcement that Colonel Fox was disposed to retire from the represen tation of the Borough, for the purpose of affording an op portunity to the electors of returning Lord John Russell ; and that the Colonel and his Lordship would visit Stroud on the morrow. On the morning of Tuesday (yesterday), they arrived, and at twelve o'clock a meeting of the elec tors was held in the Subscription Room, which was soon full. On the proposition Of CHARLES STANTON, Esq., DONALD MACLEAN, Esq., was called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN having stated the object of the meet ing, and introduced Colonel Fox and Lord John Russell, observed that the Colonel would explain the circum stances under which he appeared before them. His motives could not fail to be appreciated. He had made a sacrifice, not only to Stroud, but to the country at large, by making way for so distinguished a friend of Reform, and civil and religious liberty. . Colonel Fox, on coming forward, was received with ge neral cheers. He expressed himself highly flattered by such a reception, on his coming forward, bringing Lord John, and giving them an opportunity of electing him as their Representative. He considered his Lordship's defeat in Devonshire a national calamity, and wished to show that he was the chosen of the poople. No where was public opinion more fairly expressed than in the Borough of Stroud. It was not, however, from public motives alone, but from a long friendship with Lord John, that he felt inclined to act as he had done. He hoped it would not be consideredthat he was treating the Borough in a disrespectful manner. When he understood that Lord John was likely to be de feated, before the result was known, he wrote to him and offered to resign, and he was delighted to find that what he had done was appreciated by his constituents. N. MARLING, Esq., in proposing a vote of thanks to Col. Fox, observed that he did so with pleasure. During the short time he had been in Parliament, he had verified all his promises, and his bitterest opponents must acknowledge that he had discharged his duty. Lord John Russell was now amongst them, and, judging from the demonstration of public feeling, he would receive such support as must secure his election. If he thought the measure of appro priation would weaken or injure the Protestant Church, he would not have appeared before them. If the Catholics were ignorant, instruct them—if blind, give them sight— Education would, in all probability, turn the people to Pro testantism. R. C. WYATT, Esq., said he was called unexpectedly to second the resolution. He was a friend to the Established Church, and thought the measures of the present Ministry would tend to strengthen it. The resolution passed unani mously. C. STEPHENS, Esq., felt a pride and honour in propo sing a resolution to the effect that Lord John Russell was eminently qualified to fill the vacancy occasioned by the re tirement of Colonel Fox. He regretted that the resolu- tion had not been entrusted to more able hands. He would not detain the meeting, as Lord John Russell was present, and able to explain fully for himself. Although his Lord ship was personally a stranger, he was well known as the friend of every constitutional and popular right, and one of the supporters and framers of the Reform Bill. W. H. STANTON, Esq., in seconding the resolution, ob served that he need not say much for Lord John Russell. Fame had said a great deal, and his Lordship was here to speak for himself. Of one thing he could assure his Lord ship, that the shaft of calumny could not here assail him. The resolution was passed unanimously. Lord J. RUSSELL now presented himself, and was re ceived with tremendous cheers. He addressed the meet ing to the following effect :—Gentlemen—in coming before you on this occasion, I only regret that I am, in any way, the means of depriving you of the services of a friend whom I have long known and highly valued, and whom you have had occasions to esteem. When Colonel Fox pro posed to vacate his seat, I felt much hesitation in acceding to it. I felt, however, that I was intrusted with a great public interest, and that my own services were needful. After my rejection in South Devon, I thought it desirable that I should not appear in any place with which I was con nected by property or influence, or where the influence of my family could be said to operate—but before a body of independent men, upon whom I can have no claim but on account of public character ; and knowing the respectability of the borough of Stroud—having had occasion to consi der its importance and title to send representatives to Par liament prior to the passing of the Reform Bill—l thought it proper to come and ask, aye or no, whether they would confide in me ? I was met in South Devon by much ca- lumny and misrepresentation, and had but a short time to answer them. I succeeded, however, with nearly all who had voted for me, before my adversaries possessed the power of controlling and compelling the votes of those whose prin ciples were opposed to them.—(A cry was here raised, Give them the ballot," in which many persons joined.) I will not, said his Lordship, now enter upon that much agitated question ; it is my wish to see the electors return their representatives fairly and indifferently, as the Reform Act intended they should. I do not now come to men who are obliged to transfer their votes as they were in boroughs under the old system, but to men who will fairly and inde pendently choose their representatives. One of the first of the objections made against me in Devonshire was, that I had the honour of proposing and carrying the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts. I did so upon the principle, that while I think it is necessary to maintain the Established Church, I shall do my best to maintain it ; this is not to be done upon principles of civil inequality and religious dis tinction. I would not inquire into the religious principles of men, but give them an opportunity of filling such sta tions as their abilities entitled them to fill. While my op ponents considered these enactments the bulwarks, I consi dered them the reproach of the Church. Another measure which I supported was represented as introducing anarchy and destroying the Church—l mean the Reform Bill. They who had an interest in maintaining abuses felt angry with me for aiding in destroying those abuses, and giving the people their rights. It is not in this borough that I shall be blamed for introducing an Act, which will benefit the country in present and future times. It was Lord Mel- bourne's intention to introduce a measure for reforming Corporations, as well as for reforming the English and Irish Church. It has been said that I made a factious opposi tion to Sir R. Peel's Administration. I understand a fac tious opposition to be, when we are agreed on measures and not on men. If Sir R. Peel had gone the same length as Lord Melbourne, he should have met my support. Two measures only came up to my expectations. One was the appointment of Commissioners to inquire into the Church. I think that was undertaken in the spirit in which it was proposed by the Whig Ministry ; they are now returned to office, and propose to pursue it with a view to reform abuses, but preserve the Church. I approved the prin ciple of the Dissenters' Marriage Bill, and gave it more praise than perhaps many Dissenters would. On the ques tions of the admission of Dissenters to the Universities, and on the London University question, I had reason to believe they would not support those extensive measures they ought to do ; and on the latter I voted against them. I was opposed to them on another great measure—the state of the Irish Church—because it was the determina tion of the late Government to maintain in those parts where there were scarcely any Protestants the whole, or nearly the whole, of their revenues and possessions, and not to apply them to the purposes of education. I opposed them because the people were exposed to the arbitrary col lection of tithes when they derived no benefit. Seeing that for centuries this mode had failed, I was disposed to give the people education—certainly not exclusively Protestant, but neither is it Catholic. The Catholics have said they are willing to abide by this. Will the Protestants say they are not ? Diffuse knowledge as widely as you can—if they cannot obtain it in one way, give it them in another. Enable them to judge whether the Catholic or Protestant Reli gion is the better, and you will bring them nearer to Protestantism, and not confirm them as Catholics. If by this means we conciliate, and are enabled to govern without so large a military force, the whole empire will be stronger and better able to meet its enemies. These are the principles I have advocated in, and which have been ap proved by Parliament. They must ultimately prevail—by a contrary course we should injure religion, weaken Go vernment, and irritate those with whom we ought to live as brothers. I have now explained my sentiments. lam bound, as a Minister, to preserve our institutions while I reform them ; my maxim is, " Reform and preserve." I think a change of our institutions would not benefit the country ; and changes brought about by violence would in terfere with society, and destroy those bonds with which society is bound together. My object is to keep pace with the improvement of the age and country. No body of men can long withstand a reform, approved by the en lightened wishes of the people. I thank you for your sup port, and relying upon it, shall feel highly honoured in going into Parliament as your representative.—(Cheering for some minutes.) P. HAWKER, - Esq., addressed the electors in a strain of fervid eloquence, congratulating them on their unanimity. J. PARTRIDGE, Esq., who proposed Mr. Symonds at the last election, said he was requested by that gentleman to say he withdrew all claim, and would support Lord John Russell by every means in his power. Colonel Fox proposed a vote of thanks to the Chair man, who acknowledged it, and the meeting was dissolved. The Tories talk of an opposition, but must be beaten, at least three to one. POOLE. TORYISM AT A DISCOUNT IN POOLE. At a meeting held at the Antelope this day (Tuesday), by the opponents of the Liberal Candidate, the Right Hon. George Byng—no resident Tory being to be found will ing or capable—a Gentleman of that class, resident with out the bounds of the Borough, was called to the Chair ; after which a fox-hunting parson, resident about thirty miles from Poole, and possessing neither vote nor interest in the borough, brings forward a resolution to pledge the Meeting to support Lieut. Gen. Grant, a Tory of this county, and we understand an intimate friend of the Duke of Cumberland ; which resolution being seconded by an Elector, was afterwards seconded by a certain briefless Bar rister, also possessing neither vote nor interest in Poole ; thus, out of the three only spokesmen, ONE is an Elector. ---. There is no doubt, whatever, of the success of the Hon. George Byng, the son of our late much respected Repre sentative, who is now actively engaged canvassing the Electors. The few Tories of this place have made many unsuccess ful attempts to procure a Candidate of their own stamp ; but the result of the late contest for this place, as regards the Tory Candidates, was such as to afford no encourage ment for another Conservative battle. YORKSHIRE (WEST RIDING) ELECTION. (From the Second Edition of the Morning Advertiser.) TRIUMPHANT RETURN OF LORD MORPETH. WAKEFIELD, TUESDAY, MAY 12, THREE O'CLOCK. Aly letter of yesterday will have prepared you for the complete triumph of Lord Morpeth and Reform over the last efforts of Conservatism to keep its head above water. The proceedings of to-day, up to the present hour, have been equally decisive. The triumph has been entirely one of principle, because I am aware that, personally, Mr. Wortley is as popular amongst the constituency of the West Riding as his opponent, and because it is generally consi dered here that the Irish Secretaryship is a disqualification for a Yorkshire Candidate. The Conservative party have been sedulously endeavouring to circulate reports that their voters had been assaulted, and prevented going to the poll in the distant districts, by the violence of Lord Morpeth's adherents ; those rumours, however, I have reason to be lieve, are mere fabrications, weak inventions of the enemy, to cover their signal defeat. At four o'clock this evening, Lord Morpeth briefly ad dressed his friends from the front of the White Hart Inn, and congratulated them upon the result of their exertions, which was even more triumphant than could have been imagined, when the efforts (of every kind) of the Conserva tives were considered. The performances of Yorkshiremen, he observed, exceeded their promises, and concluded by stating his intention of thanking them at length on Thurs day, when the official declaration of the poll would be made. EIGHT O'CLOCK, F.M. I enclose you the poll of to-day as far as it has been ob tained up to this hour. It is needless to add a word of comment, the numbers speak volumes of the real feeling of the country, which may be justly argued from this decision of the most numerous, and one of the most intelligent con stituencies in the empire.

RESISTANCE TO THE PAYMENT OF THE ASSESSED TAXES.—Last evening a Meeting of the Members of the Parochial Society of this parish was held at the Two Angels and Crown, Upper St. Martin's-lane, for the purpose of taking into consideration a memorial which had been drawn up to be presented to his Ma jesty, praying that he would extend his royal clemency to Ford, Drabble, Bolton, Johnson, O'Neill, Langley, and two others, who were convicted on Thursday last, in the Court of King's Bench, for an assault alleged to have been committed on Scuttergood, a broker, who had taken possession under a warrant of distress, for Assessed Taxes, in the house of Mr. Ford, a baker, residing in Greek-street, Soho. Mr. Roberts was called to the Chair. After Mr. Webb, of the Strand, had detailed the circumstances of the resistance and persecu tion, a memorial, signed by all present, was agreed to. A de putation was then appointed to present the same forthwith, and the meeting broke up. ST. PATRICK'S CHARI TY.---The anniversary dinner of the schools of this charity, which was established in 1803, and which has for its object the education and clothing of the children of peer Catholic parents, took place on Mon day at the Freemason's Tavern. Lord Stourton was the President. Amongst the company, which consisted princi pally of Catholics, and Gentlemen connected with Ireland, were Messrs. Tempest, Bellew, Blount, Selby (of Madeira), Kearsly, Murphy, &c. The usual toasts on this occasion were drunk with enthusiasm, and it was a most pleasing sight to see the healthy and contented countenances of the children who paraded the room, and bowed in token of gratitude to their supporters and patrons. There were 205 boys, and 140 girls, all decently clothed. Prizes were distributed to the most deserving of these children, and after Lord Stourton and several other Gentlemen had shortly addressed the company, and subscriptions to the amount of upwards of 3001. had been announced by the Secretary, the assembly broke up.

SCOTCH SEQUESTRATION. HECTOR HENDERSON, tea-merchant, Glasgow, May 13 and 27, at twelve, at the Black Bull Inn, Glasgow. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of business. It was very fully attended, and the space below the bar was crowded. During the sitting of the Court much interest was evidently felt by the strangers in the warm interlocutory dis cussion which took place. ALLEGED BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.' Immediately after the very short minute of the last Court was read, stating that the Lord Mayor had dissolved that Court, Mr. PRITCHARD (the Chairman of the Committee of the whole Court upon the Municipal Institutions) rose and said, " I rise, my Lord Mayor, to address the Court upon a question of privilege—(here the Lord Mayor rose),—and I demand to be heard."—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") The LORD MAYOR said, he had to express his very great regret, that in consequence of the proceedings of the Court, which had given rise to the most serious interruptions to the business of the Corporation, by which he was prevented from remaining in it to transact that business, he had felt it due to himself and to his brother Aldermen to call them together for the purpose of communicating to them what had occurred, and to ask their advice. It gave him the utmost satisfaction to find that they unanimously agreed in the propriety of his conduct, and farther, it appeared to them that the Committee of the whole Court was no longer a legal Committee. Mr. PRITCHARD—It is a legal Committee—l can prove that fact. The LORD MAYOR—It appeared to them' that the Com mittee ceased to be one on St. Thomas's day, and the law officers (the Recorder and Common Sergeant) entertained a similar opinion, and he was therefore determined not to suffer any thing to be discussed emanating from any Committee which had sat since the 21st of December. He hoped the good sense of the Court would prevent the members from dis cussing about nothing. He could not consent to promote any interference with the rights and privileges of the Court, and was determined to take the necessary steps to prevent any thing of the kind. Here, upon the motion of Mr. EDWARD WILSON, the notice of the proceedings of a former Court was read by the Town Clerk, and after a few observations from some of the members, , Mr. PRITCHARD again rose, and claimed to be heard on a question of privilege, supported by a large body in the Court. It was, he said, the business of the Court to decide upon a question relating to its own privileges. The LORD MAYOR declared most positively that he would not suffer any such discussion to take place. He was in the Court to go on with the business of it. If gentlemen wished to have the opinions of the Recorder and the Common Ser geant, they might be accommodated with those opinions, but he wished to go at once to the business for which he had as sembled them. Mr. PRITCHARD said it was impossible for the Lord Mayor to know the nature of the question of privilege to which he alluded. If he were allowed by his Lordship he could de monstrate the grounds of it. If he were not allowed, then he had to complain of being deprived of a most important right.—( Hear. ) Alderman WOOD suggested the propriety of desiring that the Recorder and Common Sergeant should attend in their places at the next Court to state their opinions as to the pre sent legality of the Committee of the whole Court. That course would, he thought, be the best under the present cir cumstances, as it would enable the Court now to go on with the regular business which had been so long pending. Mr. PEACOCK said he was ready to second a proposition of that kind, and implored his Honourable Friend (Mr. Pritchard) to yield the question of privilege to the Alder man's suggestion, which, if adopted, would leave open the important point on which the disagreement had taken place, for discussion. Mr. PRITCHARD could not for a moment think of waiving his right in favour of such a proposition. Mr. JUPP hoped that the Court would come to a resolution to proceed with the business on the paper, taking especial care, however, that the question of privilege would be taken into consideration at another time. Alderman Wool) urged the necessity of adopting his sug gestion. The Recorder and Common Sergeant might, he said, be both wrong as to the question of the legality of the Com mittee. The whole question rested upon that point ; and if that opinion proved to be correct, then the Lord Mayor was right in not allowing the notice to be placed on the business list. Mr. FIGGINS then proposed that Mr. Pritchard be requested to adjourn the question of privilege till the next Court. He wrote down his motion, and handed it, in accordance with the forms of the Court, to the Town Clerk. The LORD MAYOR \ --I have reported to the Court the opi nions of the Recorder and the Common Sergeant. If the Court be not satisfied with those opinions, a discussion may take place about them on any other day, but I am here to go on with the business of the day. Mr. FIGGINS—Then it is better for us to go home and mind our business, than to be here acting as the puppets of the Lord Mayor.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Pritchard consented, as we understood, to waive his motion in favour of Mr. Figgins's, and the Lord Mayor, to whom the officer of the Court had handed the letter, returned it to the Town Clerk, who stood up for the purpose of reading it, amidst loud cries of " Hear, hear I'' At this moment Alder men Atkins and Farebrother both addressed his Lordship, who thereupon spoke to the Town Clerk. Mr. R. TAYLOR—The Lord Mayor is obstructing the Town Clerk.—(Loud cries of " Shame, shame !" and " Hear the Town Clerk.") Sir PETER LAURIE thought the Lord Mayor was right in the course he had adopted ; but it was time to throw oil upon the waves, and as a matter of courtesy, his Lordship might di rect the law officers to give their opinion to the Court. Alderman FAREBROTHER said that he also was willing to conciliate ; but he was present when the unanimous opinion of the Aldermen, that the Lord Mayor had acted correctly, was given, and he could not but support the Lord Mayor. The Recorder and Common Sergeant might be questioned at the next Court, if any gentleman wished. Mr. WESTON-The Town Clerk has a paper in his hand— let him read it.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") The Town Clerk then read Mr. Figgins's motion. Mr. R. L. JONES defended the conduct of the Lord Mayor in the whole course adopted by his Lordship in the matter in question, and represented in very indignant terms the mis chievous consequences resulting from the unnecessary inter ruption to the public business. Mr. PRITCHARD, again rising to claim a hearing on the question of privilege, which, be contended, agreeably to the practice of every deliberate assembly, was entitled to take pre cedence of every other, said that he would not yield to the last speaker, nor to any other member of the Court, in a sin cere and earnest desire to proceed with the business of the Court, and to discharge the public duties they owed to their fellow .citizens, and to which a due regard to their own con sistency and character attached additional obligation.—( Hear, hear.) But in so doing, what was their first and paramount duty? Obviously to maintain inviolate the privileges com mitted to them, and which were no less their's than the privi- leges of their constituents. If, in the exercise of their -func tions, they met with any illegal and unconstitutional obstruc tions, a paramount necessity immediately stepped in, and de manded that they should first, by legal and constitutional means, attempt the removal of that obstruction. Until that was done, their functions were virtually suspended, and they were placed in the degrading situation of bowing to an arbitrary pow, er 4 which, without reasoning or argument, should wrest from them the rights and privileges essential to their public exis tence, and becoming themselves parties to the destruction of all their public usefulness.—( Hear, hear.) He stood their in a situation of that description, and no power on earth should seduce him to an abandonment of the important right for which he contended, or a compromise of the duty to his fellow-citizens and to himself, to which as a duty he yielded a sincere and voluntary obedience. He demanded then as a right to be heard on what he asserted to be a question of privilege, but until he had been heard, what opportunity had he of making good his allegation ? And was it reasonable or consistent with the character of such an assembly that the President should assume to judge by intuition of what he (Mr. Pritchard) was about to say, and decide that the mo tion with which he should conclude was wrong before a word had escaped his lips ?—( Hear, hear.) If his motion should be listened to, it would be open to a negative vote from those who might think he had not shown grounds to sustain it, or it might be met by the amendment of the Honourable Member (Mr. Figgins). He asked but to be heard, he repeated, on a question of privilege, and that granted, he •would yield unhesitatingly and frankly to the decision of the Court, the only legitimate ar biter in such a case ; or if the sense of the Court so inclined, he would assent to Mr. Figgins's amendment being put preferably as an original motion. Let him but be heard, and let the Court decide after hearing, and he would bow with respect to any opinion so expressed ; but he would never, while intrusted with a seat in that Court, yield a slavish obe dience to a usurpation of power by an individual, which ap peared to him to be as intolerable, as it was offensive and un becoming in practice.—( Hear, hear. ) The LORD MAYOR—If you do not proceed with the busi ness of the Court, I shall take immediate measures to main tain the dignity of my office. I shall' not permit any person I to dictate to me , or t o i n t erru pt the business which have summoned you to transact. I shall not allow any man to dare to insult this Chair; and if any gentleman, after this morning, will take upon himself to attempt an)thing of the kind, I shall at once assert the character and dignity of the Lord Mayor, by leaving the Court.—: Cheers, hisses, and laughter.) Mr. PRITCHARD—I stand here, my Lord, in the exercise of my undoubted right ; and, permit me to add, of the rights of my constituents in my person, equally undoubted, demanding to be heard upon a question of privilege, and I will not sit down till that right is conceded to me. The Loan MAYOR then ordered the Sword-bearer and Com- -` mon-crier to precede him, and left the Court amidst applauses hisses, and groans. _ CONDUCT OF THE LORD MAYOR IN THE COURT OF COMMON COUN • A .

The Duchess of Kent's second assembly this season, given . at Kensington Palace, was attended by the Foreign Ministers and their Ladies, a number of foreign visitors of distinction, and several hundred of the Nobility and Gentry. The company began to arrive at half-past nine o'clock, at which time the band of the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards, stationed on the staircase at the end of the corridor, commenced playing. Choice exotics and other plants were tastefully arranged and grouped on this staircase, in the recesses of the corridor, and between the double flight of steps up the grand staircase. The Duchess of Kent, accompanied by the Princess Vic toria, and attended by the Ladies and Gentlemen of their Royal Highness's household, entered the rooms about the same time, and received the numerous and distinguished visitors, who successively paid their respects to theia Royal Highnesses. The noble suite of state rooms, which were all brilliantly il luminated with chandeliers, were soon crowded with company. The band of the Second Regiment of Life Guards played during the evening in a temporary tent at the entrance to the north vestibule. Their Royal Highnesses the Landgravine of Hesse Hom burg, attended by Mademoiselle Steyne and Sir Henry Wheat ley ; the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George, attended by Baroness Ahlefeldt, Sir James Reynett, Captain Hay, and the Rev.

The sixth performance of this Society, for the . present season, took place on Monday evening at the Hanover-square Rooms, under the direction of Sir George Smart. The in strumental compositions were the pastoral symphony and eleventh quartet in F minor of Beethoven ; Mozart's symphony in G minor ; a concerto for the piano-forte by a Mr. Bennett ; and the Overture to Anacreon by Cherubini ; and the Jubilee Overture to Weber. The vocal compositions consisted of the scena assigned to Kunegonda in the first act of Spohr's Faust ; the song of Count Almaviva, in " Le Nozze di Figaro ;" a duet from " Agnese ;" and a piece of animated dullness from the " Semiramide" of Rossini. The symphonies were well executed, except that the time was taken too slowly in the middle movement of both. Beethoven's beautiful quartet in F minor, performed by Messrs. Eliason, Watts, Moralt, and Lindley, received anything but justice at their hands. This composition was written in the full tide of the author's genius and fame, and immediately after his two grand symphonies, Nos. 7 and 8. That portion of the audience which was qua lified to relish its beauties was much disgusted with its faulty performance. Madame Stockhausen's scena is, by her con stant repetition of it, becoming somewhat hacknied. This lady will find that other magnificent operas of Spohr will amply repay her perusal. Mr. Bennett's concerto has little to re commend it on the score of novelty. The introduction by the Directors of the writing of a native artist, is, however, a good precedent. This Concert was decidedly the worst of the season, a circumstance to be regretted, as many continental professors of eminence were present. Why do not the Di rectors bring forward another symphony of Spohr, or one of his double quartets? Beethoven's last symphony (No. 9), and the same author's last quartet are undeserving of the obscurity in which they are permitted to languish, through the culpable negligence of the heads of this Association. Institutions of less celebrity than the one under notice are following so closely on its heels, that it must go onwards with vigorous strides, or it will be quickly overtaken and eventually outstripped. COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—Yesterday a commis sion of lunacy was held at the Grey-hound Inn, Croydon, be fore Commissioners Phillimore, C. K. Murray, and Winslow, to inquire into the state of mind of Mr. John Trapp, the son of a deceased wealthy sugar-refiner. Mr. Thomas Hudson is related to Mr. Trapp, both of whose parents are now dead. Since the age of fourteen, to witness's knowledge, 'the subject of the present inquiry has manifected great imbecility and weakness of mind ; he was, nevertheless, an exceedingly po lite man, but exhibited the symptoms of a weak intellect, par ticularly in arithmetic, which he was totally unacquainted with, and therefore incompetent to have the control of his property. Dr. Graham had had several interviews with Mr. Trapp, who, in his opinion, was decidedly of unsound mind. The Jury returned a verdict—That he had been of unsound mind since the 16th of January, 1822.
