He said he e e statebm bad meeting tbi been e g en as an a rre st a e l dl extraordinary ege a d s circumstanceslusnuathi such. He and ii e hu be en ep e r stood roce: b hd e ei : d o h r t e o the had some years ago connected himself with a religious denomination which brought him into contact with a converted Jew. Differing upon some polemical classiest", . the Jew went out and introduced a doctor who had a per- - centage upon all he sent to lunatic asylums, so much for " bounty money," and a 5 early allowance as longeies he was there kept; and he not knowing the head docldr had discussed with him some of their reli g ious opinions, and was then asked to exhibit his tongue. He was by the - doctor at once pronounce) to be insane. A keeper there upon classed and took possession of his parlour, and when he threatened to use the poker in ejecting him, at ten o'clock at night, the keeper cslled in a number of his fellows, and he was placed in a straight waistcoat and told to be " quiet," as if such treatment were not enough to make any sane man mad —(Hear, hear.) He was, then compelled to sleep in the same room with file keeper, who shaved him, breakfasted, and dined °nib° best in the house, and rummaged al his drawers. He would a'k them to imagine his feelings under such cir cumstances. Why, unless a man had immense nerve such treatment would drive him mad. The doctor before alluded to ordered him pills and leeches, and when he re fused to take the pills he was informed that a ready In strument would be found to break his jaw. He sent for his own physician, who, after a prop r examination, pro nounced him perfectly sane. The end of it all was, that he one day took a walk out with his keeper and led him into his solicitor's office, who quickly discharged him, and ordered him at his peril further to in terfere. His intervisre with his solicitor led to a trial in the Court of Exchequer, when he obtained a verdict and 1001. damages. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. GILBERT BOLDEN, Esq., the solicitor to the society, moved the second resolution:—" That a petition be pre sented to the House of Lords and the House of Com mons in the next session of Parliament, praying for a Committee of Inquiry into the laws of lunacy, with a view to the amendment of the same, and that the peti tion now read be adopted." The petition was a tran script of the first resolution. Mr. Bolden stated that the importance of the_aulaject, and the abuses perpe trated under the present state `of the law, weriutleilillit folding themselves, and he was glad to see the discus sion that had arisen in consequence of the judgment of the Lord Chancellor in the case of Messrs. Austins, and _ of the opinion of the Lord Chief Baron, in the cause Nottidge u. Ripley, so energetically expressed by his Lordship—" That persons ought not to be confined in lunatic asylums who are riot dangerous to themselves or to others.' Mr. Bolden, reading from Dr. Conolly's pamphlet, showed to what an immense extent of abuses and evils these medical opinions and practice must ultimately lead, and commented very severely on the assertion that, " if the judges, members of the bar, and members of the press, would take the trouble of visiting asylums more trequently, they would all derive useful and welcome information from opportunities which would be everywhere cheerfully afforded them." Now, however pleasing this might sound in the public ear, it was disingenuous in the highest degree, for Dr. Co folly knew well that, excepting his own asylum, every other asylum would have been shut to any such appli cation, either from the bar or the press, and that with , double force. pd the Laters ?osing to do know ention false N°.17,741.3 LONDON, SATURDAY E S AUGUST 4, 1849.

The Right Hon. the First Lord of the Admiralty, with the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Rear- Admiral Deans I)undas, C. 8., M.P., and Mr. Secre tary Parker, M.P., returned to the Admiralty on Thursday evening, from their official visit in the Light ning steam-tender, Master Commander Petley, to the ChannA Islands. Their Lordships left Cowes on Monday afternoon, and arrived at Alderney next day. They landed, and went round the island, and then proceeded to Jersey, and steamed into every bay and nook around that island, and inspected the new works there, attended by Mr. Walker, C.E. They then proceeded to Guernsey, and returned to Portland, where they inspected the breakwater works, convict prisons, &c., at that place, previously to returning to town. The Lightning proceeded to Portsmouth Harbour. The Dreadnought, seamen's Hospital ship, and the Hermes are in the East Docks. and all the agricultural reports are most satisfactory. The Cork Reporter of Thursday says— " A gentleman called at our office this morning with some potato stalks, which had been what is com monly called ' blighted.' About a fortnight ago some of the leaves assumed the appearance of blight —became brown and rotted. The owner of course, thought, as many others have done, that his crop was diseased, and would be destroyed, but was agreeably surprised some time afterwards to find the ' diseased' stalks throwing out new and green leaves. These shoots are still growing, and although the blighted' ones, which appear to have been struck by lightning, remain on the stalk, that is perfect and sound. W e rather fancy that a similar attack in other cases has been the cause of the panic' that is prevalent among certain parties, who cannot believe that the crop can be sound, or would desire that it should not be so."

SQUADRON. CHESILTON, THURSDAY.—The Queen's fleet,bound for Ireland, was observed late last evening steaming away to the westward in excellent style. The Royal yacht had cleared the Bill of Portland before nine o'clock. She was well out at sea, probably eight or nine miles distant. The weather was all that could be wished for, and a bright moon favoured the con tinuance of the trip throughout the night. Two steamers were close in the wake of the Victoria and Albert. The appearance of the squadron at that late period of the evening was most unexpected, as it was generally supposed that the royal yacht would have put into Portland Roads or Weymouth Bay for the night. Her Majesty's ship Lightning arrived off Portland in the early part of yesterday from Guern sey, with the Right Hon. Sir F. Baring, First Lord of the Admiralty; the Right Hon. Sir C. Wood, Chancellor of the Exchequer ; Rear-Admiral Dun das, and Mr. Parker, the Secretary of the Admiralty. Their landing immediately at the works of the break water led to a belief that they had arrived either to receive her Majesty in the event of -her inspecting this great national undertaking, or to join the Royal squadron. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Lords of the Admiralty remained a. Portland, and after minutely inspecting the works:;of the inten - ded breakwater for the Victoria Harbour of Refuge, Portland, as it will be called, left by= the last train of the South-Western Railway for tendon.

THE TRIALS BETWEEN THE • BASILISK (PADDLE) AND NIGER (SCREW) STEAM-SLOOPS.— These vessels put to sea, from Devonport, on Wednesday morning, but the Basilisk returned to the Sound in the night, and the Niger on Thursday morning, and both sailed for Portimouth at 3.30 P.M., arrived at Spithead early yesterday morning, and went into harbour at eleven o'clock. They did not see anything of the Royal yacht .quadron. As . the Niger came- out from Plymouth she saw a large steamer to the west ward of the Ram Head, which might have been one of the war steamers of the squadron. The trial be twedii these vessels is not yet concluded ; for the prin cipal feature , has not yet been tested—viz., the trial against a strong head-wind and heavy sea, the fine weather they have hitherto had affording no oppor tunity for such a trial. Both vessels steam remark ably well, but generally the paddle vessel under steam atone has had a slight advantage in speed, about half a knot per hour over the screw, especially when drawing a light draft; when deep in the water the advantage is not so much. On the other hand, under canvass, and in ordinary circumstances, the screw beats her op ponent nearly a knot per hour ; both vessels are, we un.lerstanl, fine wholesome ships, and steam and sail remarkably well. The Basilisk has gone along side the coal-ship to complete fuel ; and the Niger will also fill up, and, probably, proceed again to sea on Monday ; hilt that depends on Admiralty orders. The Ajax, 60, screw steam liner, was to have gone out to try her engines at Portsmouth yesterday morning, hut her trial will be deferred until Monday. She is down to her load water line, and draws 23 feet 1 inch aft. THE FUNDS.—Three per Cent. Consols, 9 9 i ; Three-and , a-Quarter per Cent.

PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY NlGHT.—Anxiolls inquiries have been made throughout the day respecting the progress of her Majesty's squadron to Ireland, it being expected; even if the Royal fleet did not run into the Sound for fuel, that one of the packet steamers would put in to signalize the dockyard authorities. To the surprise of all, however, nothing was heard of the progress of the Royal fleet till late to night, when it was ascertained that the Victoria and Albert, with the accompanying war steamers, had passed some miles outside the Eddystone. lighthouse, in the early part of the morning, at daybreak. By the mail this evening from Falmouth we learn that her Majesty's yacht was off that place about 5 o'clock, but_ a considerable distance out at sea. She, no aolibt, spoke the Basilisk and Niger steam-frigates, which passed the yacht later in the morning, lower down channel. The weather was very fine, with a good breeze from the northward. And whereas by an Act passed in the twelfth and thirteenth years of our reign, intituled " An Act to extend an Act of the fifty-sixth year of King George 111. for providing for a new Silver Coinage, and for regulating the Currency of the Gold and Silver Coin of this Realm," the Master and Worker of our Mint, in London, was authorised and empowered to coin, or cause to be coined, silver bullion into silver coins of the standard of fineness above mentioned, and in weight after the rate of 663. to every pound troy, whether the same be coined in crowns, or in any pieces of a lower denomination : And whereas we have thought fit to order that certain pieces of silver money should be coined, to be called florins or tenths of a pound, and to be of the value of 2s. : And whereas, pursuant to our said order, and in virtue of the power given by the said recited Acts, a coinage of the said florins or tenths of a pound, of the standard and at the rate aforesaid, has been made ; and every such florin or one-tenth of a pound has for the obverse our ef-n gy, crowned, w ith th e i nscr i pt i on " Vi ctor i a Re gina," and the date of the year; and for the reverse the ensigns armorial of the United Kingdom con tained in four shields, crosswise, each shield surmounted by the Royal Crown, with the rose in the centre, and in the compartments between the shields the national emblems of the rose, thistle, and shamrock, surrounded by the words " One Florin, One Tenth of a Pound," and with a milled graining round the _edge : And whereas pieces of silver money of the above descrip tion have been coined at our Mint, and will be coined there, in pursance of orders issued, and to be issued by us : We have, therefore, by and with the advice of our Privy Council, thought fit to issue this our royal proclamation ; and we do hereby ordain, declare, and command that the said pieces of money so coined and to be coined shall be current and lawful money of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and Than pass and be received as current and lawful .rioney of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and shall pass and be received as current and lawful money of our said kingdom by the names aforesaid, and at the value hereinbefore assigned to them.

London Terminus, July 30, 1849. From the circumstance of the squadron not putting into Falmouth, it is pretty certain that her Majesty had determined to proceed direct to Cork. The distance from Osborne to Falmouth is 200 miles, which was accomplished in little over 13 hours by the Royal yacht, and in the event of its continuing at the same sp ed, her Majesty would reach the Cove of Cork by eight o'clock—perhaps sooner—this even ing (Thursday), 12 hours before her expected arrival. The mode of saluting the Queen on her arrival will form a very imposing scene. A squadron has already assembled at Cove, comprising the Hogue screw guard-ship, 80 guns, Captain M`Douall ; the Arrogant steam-frigate, 46 guns, Captain R. Fitzroy, the Dragon steamer, 6 guns, Captain W. Hall ; the Ganges, 80 guns; the Trident steamer, 3 guns; and the Lucifer, 2 guns. These vessels are anchored on each side of the channel. The Black Eagle, Admiralty y acht, Commander Cooke ; the Sphynx, 6 guns ; Stromboli, 6 guns; the Vivid (mail steam-packet), the Banshee, and the little Fairy are to be stationed in a line with the others, and salute the Royal yacht as it advances up the centre of the channel.

The Persian, 12, sloop, Commander Bulltnan, will be detained a few days longer at Woolwich, A Halifax paper, dated June 19, has the following paragraph :—" The admiral in her Majesty's ship Wellesley, is, we understand, about to leave this port, on a cruise to the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Newfoundland, with a view to the investigation of the state and prospects of the colonial fisheries. The flag-ship has, we believe, been preceded by small vessels, suited to the purpose of entering those coves and harbours of the coasts from which the fisheries are chiefly prosecuted. The Noble Earl appears to be untiring in his endeavours to ascertain the extent of our maritime resourcPs and to promote their de velopment. With such objects in view, he cannot fail to be accompanied in his efforts by the best wishes of every true-hearted colonist." The Noble and Gallant Earl has sent the Trincomalee, 25, Captain Warren ; the Bermuda schooner, Lieutenant-Com Tn ander Jolly ; and the Vixen, 6, steam sloop, to the divisions of the station named, and is now about to visit them himself. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—A court-martial, compri sing Rear-Admiral H. Prescott, C. 8., President, Captain Chads, C. 8., of the Excellent; Captain Yates, of the Illustrious ; Captain Purcell, of the Superb ; Captain Blackwood, of the Victory ; and Mr. George L. Greethatn, Judge-Advocate of the Fleet, assembled this morning on board the Victory, to try Joseph Payne, a private of Royal Marines, belonging to the Blazer steam-vessel, just paid off from the coast of Africa, on the following charges : "For that he, the said Joseph Payne, when a private of Marines, and borne upon the books of her Majesty's ship Blazer, on the 6th of February last, was on the said day drunk and incapable of doing his duty. Also on the said 6th of February, whilst on the quarter-deck of the said vessel, did use certain disgusting language to his Commander, Lieutenant Smith ; and also did threaten the life of Mr. William George Aldridge, Second Master, and the petty officers who conducted him below." The Court having heard the case in support of the charge, and what the prisoner had to allege in his defence, and having maturely deliberated upon and cun.idered the whole, was of opinion that the charges had been fully proved, but in consideration of the long and rigorous confinement endured by the priso ner since the commission of the offences, adjudged him only to be mulcted of all pay and prize -money due to him in the service, and to be imprisoned for six calendar months in the county gaol at Winchester. The Lightning steam tender returned to port last evening from the Channel Islands, having landed Sir Francis Baring, First Lord of the Admiralty, Rear- Admiral Deans Dundas, Mr. Parker, and Sir Charles Wood, at Weymouth, on their return to town. The Basilisk and Niger experimental steam-vessels, under the command of Captain Horatio Austen, C. 8., having been ordered to return to port, came in here this morning, and returned to harbour. There is such a division of opinion as to their respective merits, or which has the superiority, that we decline to pub lish the reports. The Fire Queen steam yacht has not accompanied the Royal squadron, but, together with the Elfin dis patch-yacht, remains in harbour. THE DOCKYARD BOAT BRIGADE. It is a long time since this arm of the port defence was noticed, but all the time that has been unnoticed has been employed in improvement in their various evolutions and exercises. During this week they have been exercised in gunnery outside the harbour, and on Wednesday evening we witnessed some target practice that few artillerists could match. This bri gide consisted of 100 men, distributed into four boats, each commanded by an officer, and armed with a 24- pounder ; the whole being under the command of Major Davies, Master-Attendant of the Clarence-yard, Gosport. On the above evening the squadron went out to Spithead, and, when abreast of Southsea Castle, a cask on which was fixed a flag was sent out, and moored at the range of 150 yards. The first shot fired carried away the fi:4g-staff; the second struck and sunk the cask. Another cask was immediately put out, and by the time the ninth shot (from the com mencement) was fired the cask was sunk. No more casks having been provided, a cork " fender " was moored out, and this, too, Was riddled at once. Com ment is almost unnecessary, but we cannot forbear eulogising such excellence in gunnery, when we know the materials out of which the boat brigades of the dockyard battalions have been constructed. Major Davies is a master of 20 years' standing, and saw some ball practice last before Acre. Wind, N.E.—Light airs and hazy weather. CHATHAM, AUG. 3.—The Mefampus, 42 guns, Captain G. H. Mason, from Bombay, was towed into this harbour yesterday forenoon by the Pigmy and Advice steam-vessels to be paid off. The Melampus struck her topsails, and commenced unrigging during her passage up the river. She is alongside the Hussar hulk to complete her dismantling, and delivering her stori-s, previous to being paid off. The Meeanee, 80 guns, lies alongside the Bos cawen, 70 guns, dismantling for being paid off. She is a beautiful ship, built of teak, and a very excellent sailer. Tie Phaeton, new SO-gun frigate, constructed by kir. White, of Cowes, Isle of Wight, being ordered to be brought forward as an advanced ship, was towed up from her moorings at Folly Point yesterday morn ing, and she is now moored abreast the dockyard for the convenience of fitting her. The Juno, 26, making good defects, and fitting for commission, will be undocked next week, and she will be ready by the end of the month for the pendant. Woot.wtcn, AUG. 3.—The Flamer steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Jones, left Woolwich in the afternoon for Greenhithe, to have her compasses ad justed, and will then proceed to Holyhead, to remain at that station as a reserve mail steam• packet. The Minx steam-vessel went down the river to-day on an experimental trial with a screw-propeller abaft of the rudder, on a plan submitted by Mr. Seward. DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNlNG.—Although not yet officially announced, it is generally understood that the Levee will be held on Wednesday next. Her Majesty, it is said, will proceed in state from the Lodge in the Park to the Castle, the royal carriage to be drawn by eight horses, and the streets lined by the military along the line of quays up to Cork-hill. During the Queen's visit to Dublin she has intimated it to be her gracious pleasure to visit the principal parts of the city. Her Majesty, and as far as she can influence, the entire royal suite, will appear in dresses of Irish manufacture. Nearly all the leading mer cantile houses of the city have given notice that their establishments will be closed on Monday next, and also on the day of the review. With respect to the latter pageant, applications to post and job masters fur the hire of vehicles, made so far back as the early part of the week, have been altogether unsuccessful— not a horse, or carriage, or jarvey, of any description, to be had tor " love or money." The Cork papers announce that— _ _ _ "Lord Bandon hag received a communication from the Lord Steward of her Majesty's Household, to in form him that all deputations presenting addresses to the Queen on board her yacht are expected to appear in uniforms or in Court dresses. With respect to civic bodies, the civic robes of office will be a sufficient distinction." The Cork Constitution has the subjoined programme of the arrangements for the Queen's reception in that city : "On to-morrow our harbour may expect to be visited by the first Sovereign of the British dominions that ever appeared within the county of Cork. The arrangements for her Majesty's reception, considering the brief announcement of the honour to be con ferred, are exceedingly extensive. In Cove, a marine villa is in course of erection on the Columbine- quay. It consists of a base and upper story, forming two rooms of 60 feet by 40 each, which are tastefully fitted up. In this building it is expected her Ma jesty will receive the address of the inhabitants of tho Great Island, and sanction the alteration of the name of Cove to Queenstown. Every eminence around the town will have its flag, and on the evening of Friday the houses and the hills around will be illuminated, as well as the yachts in harbour. On Saturday her Majesty will come up to the city in the Fairy tender. and land at the northern quay of the Custom-house. Here accommodation , is provided for one thousand spectators, besides officials, military band and guard of honour. A jetty has been erected outside the quay, the length of the Fairy, with a flight of steps, to enable her Majesty to come up to the platform at low water. At the southern quay of the Custom-house, the carriages of the Earl of Bandon and Viscount Bernard, M.P., will await the arrival of her Majesty and royal suite. On landing her Majesty will be saluted by a guard of honour of the Cameronians, the band of the 12th Royal Lancers playing the National Anthem. Her Majesty will precede the cortege, having on either side of her carriage, on horseback, the Lord-Lieu tenant and High Sheriff of the city, and will be fol lowed by the Mayor in a carriage, the high sheriff's carriage, and two carriages with the royal suite. On taking their seats in the carriages they will leave the yard through the southern gate. These will be fol lowed by civic and military authorities on horseback. Her Majesty will proceed along Lapp's-quay to Anglesea-bridge. Moving along the western road, her Majesty will see the great gable of the Examina tion-hall, and the royal tower of the Queen's College, and at the moment she passes her statue will be placed on the apex of the gable of the hall. The moment the Queen and her Royal Consort come in front of the college the sustaining wedges will be removed by the architect, and Mr. John Butler, the builder, thus, midst the loyal cheers of the people, commemorating and handing down to future generations the never to-be-forgotten event of the regal visit to Cork. The progress of the work would not allow of the removal of the scaffolding; however, it will serve to exhibit the Royal standard waving high in air' over the statue of our Queen, and under it in gay colours the beautiful banners of the various trades employed in the building. Passing along to George IV. , s bridge the next triumphal arch, one of the Ro man order, will appear, and it is hoped that her Ma jesty on arriving at this point may be induced to drive along the new road to Carrigrohane Castle, and crossing the bridge, return by the Mount Desert-road. Having re-crossed the Lee by Wellington-bridge, her Majesty will return to the city along the Dyke. Having driven through Mardyke-street, where a festooned arch is erected, her Majesty will again pass through Great George's-street into Patrick-street. At the entrance to this street there is another trium phal arch, and midway a second. At Patrick's an Italian arch, decorated with Blackpool ginghams, will have a pleasing effect. The Royal party will from this proceed along Merchant's-quay, Warren's and Lapps-quay, returning to the Custom house by the Southern-gate. Here her Majesty will re-enter the yacht, and having received the addresses of the cor poration, the county and city, return to Cove and get on board the Victoria and Albert, and in the evening put to sea for Dublin. The Cork Steam Company send two vessels to sea on Friday to meet the Royal squadron ; and the River Steam Company will have six steamers on the river that day and Saturday. It is understood trains will run every hour on the Ban don Railway." THE HARVEST.—The weather continues splendid, A WHITE POWDER, composed of the rarest and most fragrant orotics.

A LEAP FOR LIFE. As the supervisor of inland revenue at Aberyst with, Mr. J. Miller, his nephew, and two profession - al gentlemen, geologists, were last week examining some strata of rock in the cliffs between Aberystwith Llanrhystid, they proceeded along a narrow ledge of projecting stone on the face of the cliff, about 120 ieet above the level of the sea, which providentially happened to be at full flow. In passing round a projecting angle, " which for ages has frowned on ill below," the professors ani the revenue ufficer had rounded the point, and the young man Was in the act of doing so, when the rock suddenly breaking from under his feet he was whirled round with his face towards the sea, and as he descended he seized with one hand the ledge beneath his uncle's feet, whilst he extended the other hand to him, and it was firmly clasped by the revenue officer, who held him suspended for full five minutes, during which time he with great difficulty main tained his position, there not being more than six inches to stand upon. At length a breathless pause ensued, whilst Mr. Miller gazed on a rugged projec tion of rock about 90 feet below them, and on which he concluded the unfortunate youth was inevitably doomed to be dashed. But the uncle (who calls him self "an awful coward") at length said, with all the calmness imaginable "Tom, there is but one way for it ; I'll save you, or we will both perish together," and, with a firm voice, he commanded the young man to loose his hold of the rock, which was mechanically obeyed, with a faint reply, " Yes, uncle." At this awful moment Mr. Miller horizontally sprang into the air, carrying the young man with him ; and such was the force with which he leaped, that the check caused them to perform several summersets over each other as they descended linked together. With the rapidity of a flash of lightning they disappeared be neath the foaming billows, having cleared the craggy ledge, which projected more than six feet from the perpendicular of the point over which the youth was suspended. To the delight of their companions, who were momentarily horror-struck, they rose about twenty yards apart, buffeting the heavy swells of the flowing and returning waves ; at length they struck out for a rock that lay about seventy yards in the sea, on which they were shortly seated, and from which they gave three hearty cheers. Their companions attempted to procure their rescue by obtaining a boat, but owing to the breach in the ledge, found it impos sible, and had to proceed onwards for more than three hours before they were able to extricate themselves. To their delight, the geologists then found that their brave and dauntless companions had once more com mitted themselves to the deep, had swum to an acces sible part of the cliff; and returned to Llanrhystid, where, with the exception of the loss of hats, the officer's boots (which he had taken off in first start ing on the ledge), and a few slight cuts and bruises, they appeared not a whit the worse from their perilous adventure.— Welshman.

Mr. Cut!r, The streets of Chester have been much modernized within a few years; they are still, howver, full of quaint d belonging in date to old fronts, mostly overhanging the end of the sixteenth and comaranencereent o.f t h e seven teenth century. One in ‘Vatereate-street is nscribed 1539; another, dated 1652, has this motto, "God's pro vidence is my inheritance;" put up, it is said, by the oc cupier, after escaping the plague. Some of the houses are very e laborately carved. A public meeting of the members of the Alleged Lunatics! Friend Society was held at Exeter- hall on Monday evening; C. Lushington, Esq., M.P., in the or air. The CHAIRMAN in opening the proceedings stated that he had attended there in compliance with the re• quest of the committee of the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society, and also according to the wish expressed in a requisition placed in his hands of certain inhabitants of Westminster, most respectably signed, and that b) per sons of every phase of political opinion, which was an indication that the meeting did not pariuke of the slightest particle of political feeling, and that its objects would be discussed in that grave and s( rious manner becoming a subject deeply affecting the interests and welfare of the community at large. When the deputa tion from the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society waited upon him to request his presence at the meeting, he stated that he was very little acquainted with the sub ject, and that he could not undertake, with the multi. farious objects in which he was engaged, to decide upon any fixed opinion on the subject, but he thought it was one which ought to be brought before Parliament. It was three weeks since he had seen those gentlemen, and he had been so much engaged with his Parliamentary and other duties, that he had not been able to resd up for the occasion. He trusted, therefore, that he should be excused it his address were short, ea a xt n i t t i sht i jetnghsealmarese m abstained upont i ain e e , d from gi v i ng an y d ec id e d o pi n ion, but, fr i o u m nac w y h , a h t e he w h a a s d i r a e t a i d sfied regarding the they were very defective. When certificates could with so little difficulty be obtained, by which a person could be con signed to an asylum in the case of an apprehended or alleged lunacy, it certainly was a dangerous state of things, and required some further intervention. He also perceived that when a person was so consigned to an asylum, he or she was denied the advantage of consult ing any friend, or of having the counsel of any legal ad visers. These were abuses which undoubtedly required to be remedied.—(Hear, hear.) Then he thought that the proprietors and physicians of the establishment, how ever respectable they might be, possessed a power of abusing their trust, and that power was not sufficiently guirded against. He could not imagine any case so wretched and so horrible as that of a person of a nervous and anxious temperament, whose mind might be slightly affected by some domestic or afflicting event, finding himself confined, separated from his friends and rela tives, denied all communication with them, and with those he had been in the habit of consulting, and com pelled to associate with lunatics and persnus who have been adjudged incompetent to conduct their own affairs. —(Hear, and cheers) When he contemplated the misery of persons so immured he confessed that he felt the deepest sympathy with such individuals, and he entertained the most anxious hope that legisla tive remedies might be applied, and that every possible exertion should be used to prevent them from being made human sacrifices. He had happily never known an instance in his own family of any such real or pre- tended visitation, but when he contemplated that a nervous person, perhaps fluttering as it were on the very bounds of insanity, could be thus circumstanced, he felt that it required their best attention, their deepest sym pathy, and the greatest possible precaution should be exerted to prevent these abuses. He understood there were upwards of 30,000 lunatics in England and Wales, 5,000 of whom were private patients confined in private asylums; the remaining 25,000 being in asylums pro vided by the public, were no doubt properly taken care of, and he trusted that very little abuse occurred in these public asylums. The object to which the attention of this society was more particularly directed was to pro vide a safeguard against the undue confinement and the ill-treatment of the 5,000 persons in the private asylums. Dr. Conolly had sent him a pamphlet, relative to the case Nottidge v. Ripley, but he did not agree with the opinion the Doctor had there expressed, although he had the highest opinion of his talents, for he did not think he had given that attention he might have given to the too great facility of placing persons in confinement, or the temptation, from pecuniary interest, in continuing he confinement after convalescence, and the cruelties too often practised, but had relied too much upon the feelings of those "delicate friends " who had placed persons in those asylums, perhaps actuated by selfish considerations. He thought the supervision of these private asylums, as at present conducted, was not suffi cient. Mr. Purnell, the Chairman of the Magistrates of the county of Gloucester, who had visited several asylums in that county, had discovered various abuses, and had explained many points upon which improve ments were urgently required, and amongst many cases was one of a Mr. T. C. K., who was confined many months, at the instigation of .his own brothers, because those brothers wished to enjoy the property belonging to the alleged lunatic undisturbed and unmolested. He had since been released, by the authority 01 the magis trates, and was married to a lady, from whom, by the machinations of his relative, he had been temporarily separated, and ho was now living with his wife, perfectly calm a - nd rational, and in the full enja3ment of domestic happiness.—k Cheers.) He (the Chairman) was happy to state that the Law Amendment Society, having investigated the subject, had decided t hat the lunacy law was very capable of revision, and that that re vision ought to be carried out as soon as possible. One of the remedies they proposed was very simple. It was this—that when an individual was placed in an asylum under the charge of lunacy, his property should not re main under the control of those persons who placed him under restraint, but that it should be entrusted to cer tain public officers, which would obviate many of the evils of the present system. He thought this an excellent rule, and he trusted, when considered in Parliament, it would be duly weighed. In conclusion, he hoped those gentle men who followed him would make such observations and employ such arguments as would satisfy the meeting that the law regarding lunatics required to be amended and improved. The lion. Chairman sat down amidst loud cheering. _ _ _ ! JOHN PEIIIVAL, Esq., proposed the first resolution as follows:—" That the present laws of lunacy are highly defective; that, under these laws, persons may be secretly seized and confined as lunatics, without any opportunity of defending themselves, in a manner contrary to every principle of constitutional freedom and justice; and that acts of the greatest aggression and cruelty have been, and are still, committed in lunatic asylums, in conse quence of the imperfect system adapted for super intending the same." He explained the present state of the law, by which persons might on the authority of two and sometimes of one cer tificate from a medical man, be torn from their houses, without any respect for their persons or property, not by the officers of justice, but by hired servants, em ployed by the proprietor of the asylum to which they were consigned.—(Hear.) Any stranger had it in his power to act thus towards a man. He would not say that there were not occasions in which strangers should interfere, but they ought to begin by taking the person accused before a magistrate, and giving him an opportu nity of explaining his conduct. But, at present, although the law required two certificates to be signed by two me dical men, yet it allowed, under special circumstances, one to be sufficient to get a party to an asylum, when another medical signature could be obtained under the influence of the proprietors of such asylums, and thus might a British subject be deprived of his liberty, and placed in a mad-house, the law thus operating in such a way as to render the second certificate valueless. After alluding to several cases which have already been pub lished in the reports of the Gloucestershire magistrates in their it quiry into the management of the Fishponds Asylum, Mr. Percival referred to the case of Captain Dixon, who had been taken from his home at Bath on one certificate, and carried across the country to an asylum, where another certifier and certificate were readily ob tained ; but upon a writ of habeas corpus being sued out, he was immediately discharged by the physician as a sane man, but only to be entrapped and re-confined on two certificates, regularly obtained. ! One person had been deprived of his liberty through the contrivance of his wife to prevent his pub licly denouncing her proved infidelity. Another gen tleman, from a difference with his wife, was by the latter, tar that cause only, placed in a lunatic asylum ; but it was at Dr. Muuro's, who, being a wealthy practitioner, woul.l not submit to any unfair practice, and he ulti mately determined upon liberating this gentleman. A gallant captain of the navy, then present at the meeting, was also dragged from his home under similar circum stances, and carried away to an asylum, where he was kept for some months, until a relative threatened to in dict all the parties for a conspiracy, when he was re leased. Mr. Percival read a very interesting letter to show the perfect sanity of this officer, from the Rev. Thomas Bissett, rector of Addiscowbe, and chaplain to the college. The secretary of the society, Mr. Bailey, had suffered nearly five years' confinement in five private asylums, having been passed or transferred from house to house, not because he was mad—for if h e h a d b een it was the duty of either of them to have kept him—but because he had been the means of getting other patients discharged, and was, upon the'whole, very troublesome. He was at length sent to Fairford, in Gloucestershire, and the only ground alleged against him was, that he was the first discoverer of the principle of atmospherdic railways. Mr. Perceval warmly eulogised the.Rear,nEof ward Legh Bennett, a clergy man, andlibmerafi str o„, and Gloucestershire who procured , strongly contrasted it with the co nduct ta o t f o thhe,acromhmiims sioners in lunacy who had refused .

He did hope that th e mag i strae y of would no longer throw on the Co mnaissioriers in Luna c y the res p onsibilit y of di scharging patients, w hi c h, from their quick and transitory visits, they were l ill qualified to perform; but that the magistrates would En t n e s dtt steps se s e n or women of qu i et, coaftsheofGtihoeuepeasttieernsthsirtleiemmaselves; and, follow , ing on their visits to these asylum s scrut i n i ze and investi mgilidstrdateems,eawnhoeurre, t nwho,l, had a spark of into Ilect left, by releasing them suffer that spark to be fanned and nurtured in the world, rather than to crush it and far ever extinguish it in asylum. LUKE JAMES HANSARD, Esq , seconded the resolu tion, which seemed to him to be the whole pith of what could bo said for the society. It was a sad state of affairs when a man was liable to be seized upon the grounds of some mere temporary excitement, and carried to a madhouse. Yet any individual in that room was liable to it.—(Hear, heir.) The best mode of deter- The Rev. RICHARD KING, a clergyman from Dublin, in seconding the resolution, stated that he thought the present law quite inadequate, and advocated, at some length, the case of a lady of property who was detained in an asylum. He exhibited some beautiful specimens of needlework, the production of this highly accom plished lady, the mistress of several languages, who was charged, but most unjustly, with squandering her fort• tune upon religion.—(Hear, hear.) He showed a speci men of the Gospel of St. Mark, which she had transcribed in needle-work, in Italian, and English, and stating various proofs of her sanity asked whether it was right such a woman should be deprived of her liberty ? THOMAS STURGES, Esq., surgeon, supported the re solution, and stated that the bounds of perfect sanity and of insanity were much more obscure than the world ge nerally thought, and gave some data by which, in his opinion, necessary restraint might be decided upon. With much feeling he warned his brethren of the profes sion of the various injuries arising to a person being placed in confinement. It was often, in the case of men of busi ness, the total ruin of their circumstances, and the loss of self-esteem and confiience, forming a considerable bar against their advancing themselves in their future career of life. It were, therefore, better that cooling medicine, change of air, and some and every means and remedy should be resorted to for the purpose of restora tion to sanity previous to any attempt to immure 8 person in an as) lum, leaving confinement as the last resource, when all other means have failed. The very shock produced by isolation and confinement has often totally bereft those of their senses who otherwise might have been only temporarily all cted. The next resolution was moved by J. C. SEARLE, Esq., barrister, as follows:—" That the defective state of the law of lunacy, and the abuse s and evils practised on alleged lunatics, having been most effectively exposed, and redress afforded in several cases by the magisterial influence of the county of Glouceiter, the thanks of this meeting, are due to the chairman and the other visiting magistrates of asylums in that county for their zeal, perseverance, and humanity in prosecuting the inquiry and actin.. upon it in the energetic and benevolent man ner they h ad done." In proposing this resolution, Mr. Searle stated that the visiting magistrates of Gloucester shire were most excellent administrators of a very bad law, and that but for their exertions the case of the unfortunate Ansties would never have been brought to light, as the Commissioners, who must have frequently visited the asylum, had never taken the trouble to in quire into the case. He recommended that in every case of alleged lunacy a public inquiry should be instituted before a jury —(clear, hear)—presided ever by the coroner, and that only on the coroner's warrant should the proprietor of an asylum detain an alleged lunatic. The resolution was seconded and carried unanimously. ROBERT SELBY, Esq., moved the next resolution :-- " That the at.ention of the public press is earnestly in vited to this subject, and the thanks of this meet ing are due to those journals which have already noticed some of the abuses perpetrated under the pre sent law of lunacy." Mr. Selby expressed a strong desire that public attention should be aroused to the subject before the next session of Parliament, and that each person present in hits own sphere should co-operate with the society and the public in the endeavour to obtain an amendment of the law, which was filling the country with receptacles for the insane, the greater por tion of which, there was good ground to conclude, were accused most unjustly and injuriously. Captain DIGBY, R.N., shortly seconded the resolution, and stated that he had not found the asylum at Hilling don to be the paradise that Mr. Mylne, the Commis sioner, had represented it. In support of this resolution, Mr. PERCIVAL read extracts from a petition presented this session to the House of Commons from Samuel Doubleday, Esq., detailing various abuses alleged to be existing in a certain lunatic asylum. The resolution, having been put, was carried unani mously. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was adopted by acclamation, and the met Ling separated. INCENDIARISiII AT CREDITON, DEVON. About five o'clock yesterday morning, some th t r i a n s s h c i r e ng ant set fire to a linhay, which covered machine, belonging to Mr. Philip_ Francis,rediton a of Moore, ; and, un fortunately, about one mile from the town of C and ultimately to the dwelling-house, immmasesn,seansdtacskesnt for th offor such a wood, soon the flames soon extended to the whole homestead, that even the appl e t rees i n an v b w o e h l c u a i m n h one with a l a m u s ore n e nng orchard adjoining, could not withstand the destruc tive element; nothing now remains but their charred and broken trunks. The agent for the Imperial Fire office tells us, that he has witnessed very many alarming fires in Crediton, but none that could in any way be compared to this. The loss occasioned is esti mated at 1,5001. Mr. Francis is insured in the Sun Fire-office, but, we fear, to nothing like the extent of his loss. Much sympathy is felt for him, as his farm may in all respects be considered a model one, as he has always been one of the first to embrace any im provement in agriculture, though he still maintains the good old practices of his ancestors in respect t o the hospitality o f hi s t a bl e, wh i ch we have h ear dl classes praise.

Little attention was, however, at that time paid to what they said, but now those farmers who have threshing machines are getting quite alarmed, and some of them, it is said, have received threatening notices. It is a singular circumstance connected with the fire at Moore, that a fox had made her nest under one of the stacks of wood, though so near the farm-house, and one of her cubs was observed attempting to escape, but was pursued and tak©n alive ; two others were found literally roasted.
