The case was tried at Guildhall, and a ns 't found for the plaintiffs, who were the assig te;,,- °i a Spanish merchant, named Alcedo. The b e l i'uri Was brought to recover the amount of certain of exchange, which Alcedo had discounted, and i ;'lleh remained i n hi s possess i on at the period of the kkruptcy. The defence set up was. that the trans ion was tainted with usury, and that the assignees i e Nd not recover on the bill s. It appeared that ' bo gs bills had been discounted through the inter :7lltion o f a broker, named Bromley, who had pre i:°llsly h a d l arge transac ti ons with Alc e d o , and to 4cl recommended him certain person s who af eattls-became bankrupts, and by whom Al 1t lost large sums of money. Bromley said atiL l ° consequence of those transactions, he felt reir o i&ry though there was no legal .obligation to retai h 'e Alcedo, and agreed that Alcedo should tore - ",,, °11 e per cent. out of all bills he should in fu made'L'scournt for . Bromley. This proposition was 11,0 b efore the bills in question were discounted, li Ile (Lard Tenterden) told . the Jury, if they be hel'ecl that Bromley considered himself under aA °l4orary obligati on to Al ce do, and that the on e per cent ' was given un d er th i s cons id era tion, the trans !etion w as not usurious. It had been argued, that w , s ihis opinion as incorrect but some of his Learned ‘rothers agreed with him, that it was correct , a n d qlty were unanimo us i n t .l . ilestion was left to t h e Jury,nsidering, that as the and they returned a d7rdict f or t h e p l a i nt iff , the verdict ought not to be I sturbed.

The Wheat trade to-day is rather heavy even 'for the finest parcels, and damp sam ples are hardly saleable. Barley, Beans, and Pease, have no alteration from Blonday. Oats are more in demand, and may be reported Is. per quarter higher than on Mon day last for the best parcels. Flour unaltered. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. I Oats. Flour.

It appears that the inroads of poachers on the 'Salmon fisheries continue to exist to a great extent 'in the country, as letters are received almost daily complaining of the evil, and of the laws relative to the Salmon fisheries being too lenient. It is evident, from the ruinous system having destroyed the Autumn spawners, that the next Spring fishing must he totally unproductive. CITY MARKETS. PLANTATION SUGARS.:—The business done this week has been very limited, the quantity sold not exceeding 1,000 hhds. the prices, however, remain firm. The deficiency in stock in the West India Docks is this week 15,969 hhds. and tierces; the flatness noticed in the West India Sugar market may in some measure be attributed to the large sale of Mauritius Sugar brought forward yesterday, which consisted of nearly 11,000 bags, fully equal to 1,000 hhds. of West India; the sale generally went off at very irregular prices, the low qualities in Many in stances selling at a reduction of about Is—while for the middling and good, full prices were obtained. To wards the close of the sale the buyers became less disposed to bid, and a great part was bought in._ Delivered last week fr — ona West India DoAs, 2,99 Mids. 2'79 tes. Stock on hand in West India Docks (on 12th inst. 43,457 hhds. 4,084 tea.. Stock on hand in West India Docks (on 14th Nov, 1826) 58,460 hhds 4,789 tcs. FOREIGN SUGARS.—There is some partial busi ness doing in Brazils and Havannahs at a shade lower prices; a public sale of :;'l7 chests Havannahs was yesterday offered, when good to fine whites were bought in from 465. to 495., and middling to fine yellows 345. to 375. REFINED SUGARS.—The low descriptions of Lumps for the Hamburgh market are still very scarce, and continue to be sought after at from 84s. ' and 84s. 6d.; in the other descriptions there is very little doing, either for export or home consumption : in Crashed there is scarcely any thing doing. COFFEE.—The buyers of this article have this week shown very little inclination to purchase, only about 680 casks of Plantation have been offered by public sale, and of that great part has been bought in, the bids not being equal to the prices obtained last week ; for the lots that were sold the prices paid were very irregular, some being fully equal to last week's, while others were ls., 25., and 3s. less;. a few lots of low good middling Jamaica to-day brought 735. a 745. 6d., and middling ditto 70s. a 70s. 6d.; in Foreign there does not appear to . haVe been any thing done, as the holders at present are not pressing sales. Delivered last week from West India Docks, 420 casks ; 459 bags. Stockon s handinWestlndc.ia Docks (on 12th inst.), 12,910 casks; 71,241 bags, & Stock on hand in West India Docks (on 14th Nov. 1826), 12,193 casks; 78,455 bags, &c. FRUIT.—On Tuesday last a large public sale was brought forward, consisting of the following descrip tions, which were sold at the undermentioned prices, viz.: new Zante Currants, damaged butts 89s. to 925., caroteels 91s. to 945. ; barrels new Lexia Raisins, damaged, 30s. a 365.; new Turkey Pulled Figs, drums, 60s. a 655.; the Sultana Raisins were all taken in a 70s. ; part of a cargo of new Currants is reported t o h a ve been sold rath er un d er 90 s, ; new Red Smyrna Raisins are much sought after; the price of the last parcel sold was 575.; the price of new Valentia Raisins at the close of last week was lowered to 585., notwithstanding there was only one cargo, and part of another remaining on hand, but it has since been advanced to 625., at which price only a few have been taken, as there are two or three arrivals all coining to the same proprietors, and several others shortly expected; new Turkey Figs are being taken off freely from 60s. to 635.: the demand for Fruit generally has much increased this week. RUSSIAN PRODUCE.—In the event of a war with Turkey, the supplies of Odessa Tallow would be much impeded, if not entirely cut off, and as a large quantity is generally imported, it was expected that the prices of Tallow would be beneficially ope rated upon by the state of affairs in the East. The market, however, has not improved, and this is at tributed to the large purchases made at St. Peters burgh. At the date of the last advises, viz, of the Ist instant, at that period the quantity shipped off to this couutry in the present year, amounted to 157,000 casks, leaving but a small quantity there to be put on board. The stock in this country is esti mated at about 41,000 casks. The prices are quoted at from 375. 3d. to 375. 6d. per cwt. The demand for Hemp continues at about 394 per ton. COTTON.—The heavy condition of the Cotton market at Liverpool continues to produce a corre , sponding effect here; and as large sales are to take place to-day in Liverpool, a further depression is likely to be - announced. The quantity declared fot auction is above 6,000 bags, which is expected to be increased to 10,000 bags. Until the result of the sale is known, no considerable bargains are likely to be made here. The prices generally are flat. The total imports of cotton into the United Kingdom itl the first ten months 'of the . present year; have been from Brazil 88,570 bales, from the United States 614,720, fram'Egypt 2 6,170, from the East IndieS 04,950, and fioln the West Indies 26,180 bike making a general increase over the imports of last year up to the same period of 262,140 ; but the ex cess over the imports in 1825, is only 64,690 bales. The SPICE Market is not so brisk 'as it was in the early, part of the week. Since the East India COM. pany's quarterly sale no business of importance has been transacted. It is rather a singular fact, that all the Pepper offered by the Company was refused.— Nutmegs and Cloves are rather lower. Rum continues in good deaind, and some fine parcels of strong Jamaica have been bought as high as 4s. Bd. per gallon, and extra fine at 45. 9d. The total quantity iinported this year' has beeti 32,280 puncheons. SALTPETRE has not advanced beyond the quota tion in the early part of the week. There is, how ever, a strong - demand for it, and some considerable purchases have been made at 255. 6d. per cwt. ; in a few instances 265. have been given. INDIGO is in strong demand, but at material im provement on tke prices obtained at the last sale. SILK.—The demand both for raw and manufac tured Silks is still. extremely languid, and- no im provement is expected until 'after Christmas. This is usually a dull season of the year. The prices given at the last East India, 'louse sale are consi dered to have . been . .mueh too high. The import of French manufactures latterly has been very extensive. The IRON TRADE continues brisk, and large or ders are in the course of completion for .the Conti ' nent of machinery, &c. Bar Iron is steady at from 9/ , . to 9/. 10s. per ton. Russian Iron C.C.N.D. i s held at from 211. to 21/. 10s. per ton. MERCA TILE SALES.--(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Petre's lot is expected to be unusually strong. It is sufficient to state that the favourites are in exactly the same places as when last quoted.

A numerous Meeting of the Magistrates .of the county of Middlesex, took place yesterday, at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell, for the purpose of con sidering the propriety of establishing, in this county, a general asylum for the 'reception of pauper lunatics. There were no `less than 53 Magistrates present,- 1 7 . CoiqsT, Esq. in the Chair. :Mr. Sergeant PELL rose for . the purpose of ad dressing the Court, when he was interrupted by Mr. Jessop, who stated that there were some peti tions on the subject which had better be read first: Petitions were then presented against the pro posed measure, frotrt a meeting of the inhabitants.of St. Andrew, Holborn, and other parishes, and from the following parishes :—St. James, 'Westminster ; Sr. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr; St. _John, Hackney; Edgware; Great Stanmore; • Little Stanmore ; Willhesden; Chiswiclt; Felt ; Hampton Wick; Finner ; St. Clement Panes; St.' Mary, Whitechapel; and Chelsea.— The petitioners deprecated the proposed measure, principally on the ground of the additional expence it would entail upon the county at a time when the comity-rates were already cruelly :oppressive tomany, atid some of the petitioners stated their Opinion that under., existing circumstances, the measure was • xvholly uncalled for. One petition in favour of the measure was presented from the .parish of • St. George, Hanover-square, in which were the signa tures ' amongst others, of the Earl of Shaftesbury and Mr. Sturges Bourne. These several petitions having been read by Mr. Allen, the Clerk - of the Peace, _ Mr. Sergeant PELL rose, and addressed the Court at considerable length. hen he had been most properly interrupted by his Learned Friend, Mr. Jes sop, he was about to state that his mind was oppres sed with a painful sense of the deep 'importance of the subject to which he should now have the honour of calling their attention; but he must first express his regret at the absence of tlie original mover of the question, Lord Robert Seymour, who had been un able to attend here to-day throughage and infirmity. After paying a high compliment to his Lordship for his humane exertions in this cause, the Learned Ser geant proceeded to state, that it appeared from the returns that the number of pauper lunatics in the county of Middlesex was 873; and of these the number confined in liceused, mad-houses was 567. Now the question for the Court to decide was, had these unhappy creatures that care taken of them which their peculiar and miserable state required? By the 14th of the late Kiwg it was enacted, that these houses should be licensed, and no person could be received into them without the certificate of a medical man, arcept paupers, who were receivable without any medical certificate. (" No," from some of the Magistrates.) The Learned Sergeant referred to the w ords of the 49th section in confirmation of his statement. His attention had been - called to he fact, when visiting one Of these dreary recep- tacles of misery, for he had himself witnessed some of those scenes to which he was about to call atten tion,—quccque ipse miserrinuz vidi:---bewas there informed that this most wretched class of beings was not subject to the review, of the Commissioners appointed by the College of Physicians ; and consequently there was a lamentable failure of care in respect of them. But, whether they were or were not, the Commissioners were only re quired by the Act of Parliament to visit the houses once a year; and they actually did visit them three or four times at most in each year, upon which occasions the visitation lasted for about two hours. Now, how many patients was it possible for them to examine within that period, in a house con taining 500?—(Hear.)—But another curious cir cumstance had come to his knowledge ; he had dis covered that the College of Physicians entertained the .extraordinary opinion that they had not the power of withholding a licence from any person ap plying for one. So that' the Commissioners might pay their annual or quarterly visits, and still find the same abuses continuing year after year in the same houses, and yet that learned body, the College of Physicians, supposed that they must nevertheless grant licences, to every one of these houses in which the abuses existed: for they considered themselves only ministerial officers, and that, consequently, they bad no power to withhold licences. Then, if they were so, where was the use in empowering them to grant licenceS, or in requiring the houses .to be li cenced ?—(Hear.)—lt was like supposing that the Magistrates were not authorized to refuse a licence to a public-house which they knew to be of an im proper or disorderly character. .The Learned Ser geant here referred to a part of Dr. Bright's evidence before the Committee of the House of Commons, to show that he was not overstating facts. It was at page 157 of the Report— • . . Will you read an entry - of November 18, 1816, relating to Holt's house at Lewisham, in Kent ?—A very disorderly and disgraceful house. Will you read an entry of April 16, 1817, relating to the same house?—The house is not objectionable, but the ex planations of the master not being satisfactory, did not ob tain the confidence of the Commissioners. Will you read an entry of May lb, 1820, relating to the same.house T—ln a close room in the yard two men were shut by an external bolt, and the room was remarkably close and offensive. In an outhouse at the bottom of the yard, ventilated only by cracks in the wall, were enclosed three females; the .door was padlocked ; upon an open rail-bot tomed crib herein, without straw, was chained a female by the wrists, arms, and legs, and fixed also by chains to the crib ; her wrists were blistered by the handcuffs ; she was covered only by a rug ; the only attendant upon all the lunatics appeared to be one female ser vant, who stated she was helped by the patients.— The Secretary was directed to write to Mr. Holt, and convey to him the opinion of the Commissioners, that the mode of confinement used for the paupers is harsh, cruel, and unnecessary ; that the outhouses employed for the confinement of the patients are totally unfit for the purpose ; that one female servant is insufficient for the care of them ; and that the Commissioners wish to convey to him, in the strongest terms, their sense of the bad management of the whole concern. How many lunatics were then in that estalrlishment ? Eleven. Will you read an entry of June, 1820, relating to the same establishment removed to Blackheath '?-:.The door of the out-house used by the pauper men was open, and one person was confined therein by chains : the Commissioners inspect the lower out-house to he still used as a sleeping room ; they hold it to bean improper place for the confine ment of any lunatics. They hold the accommodation . and management of this house still to be very inferior. Will you read an entry of November 23, 1822, having reference to the same house ?--One of the male patients was alone in an outhouse, without fire, the windows were recently broken, and probably by his own act ; he was without shoes, but in other respects sufficiently clothed. After considerable difficulty the sleeping apartment of this patient was discovered up a private stain-case hid by the door, when that door was open, which leads from the house towards the back-yard :itis a single room, small and of fensive, containing only a wet and dirty piece of sacking, filled with straw, with one rug and a blanket. The pa tient is said to pay 20s. a week. Upon the discovery of this room, Mr. Holt avowed himself to be ashamed to show it to the Commissioners, as they found so much fault with his arrangements. The Secretary is directed to write to the friends of this patient, &c." ge nerally comes the opinion of the Commissioners ge tr" Dlr. Holt's conduct in endeavouring, by direct false- hood, to conceal from the Connnissionersthesleeping-room of one of his patients, is highly reprehensible, and the management of the house, and the care and accommodation given to the patients ill general, is very inferior." Then followed entr►es of 1821, 1822, 1823, arid 1824, the last of which was— A very bad, uncomfortable, ill-managed house. The patients complained much of their treatment. As there seemed to be some ground for their dissatisfaction, it was thought proper by the Commissioners that their friends should be informed of this. And yet this house was licensed the next year. But in the best of their private houses there were great and important defects of syste m : on e of these was want of classification. It w as true t h e men and women were kept asunder ; but if th e f ran tic maniac were placed beside the melanch o ly, mop i n g 1 te ,cliner, the effects of such an associati on must be; upon the first dawn of returning reason, to beat down and crush, and extinguish it for ever. —(Hear.) —Another defect was, the want - of . proper curative process. It appeared that one of those gentleinen had 500/. a year for the care 0f , 500 patients, Ont of which sum he was also to supply them with medicine. Now, how was it possible that this could enable him to provide the necessary care and attention for persons in a state which, More than all others, required the most minute and particular care, to ellbsv them any chance of recovery ? And, accordingly, how were they restrained ? With the, handcuff, the fetter, and strong purges. Their phySical strength was reduced by wasting cathartics, and they were chained down to wallow in their own filth. If, at such a nititnenti one of - these wretched creatures were to recover his reason, it Would only be to curse the hour that ever placed him in his dreary prison. Instead of such a mode,. of treatment, the unhappy patient should be soothed and comforted; and he (the Learned Serjeant) believed from his soul -- , -froiri the telt bottom pf his soul—that nothing was so likely to sooth and assiuiga the gOaded mind as religious comfort,—not of a heated or fatiatiCal character,—but that gentle religion which God and nature pointed out, when God gave us revehition.— (Hear.)—He would now show the cruelty of the present system. Here the Learned Serjeaut re ferred to that part of Mri 'Warburton's evidence be fore the Committee of the House or ttittitions, page 79 in the report, in which the witness stated, that all his violent crib-patients were periodically con fined from Saturday .to Monday ; that unnecessag confinement at any time was an abuse; that e - otild assign no reas j onibr this practice in his esta blishment ; and:that he declined answering the ques tion, whether or not he considered it necessary. Re ferring also, to theeVidence of Dr. Bright, statingthat the patients were cleansed with a mop and cold water, which the doctor considered most barbarous, the Learned Serjeant dwelt upon the cruelty of the treat meat to which it was thus proved the miserable lunatics had been subjected, and then pointed out the important consequences which might frequently result to them from the want of medical treatment to which they were exposed; in remedying which evil, Lord Robert Seymour had done more by one act of his, than the whole College of Physicians together. The Learned Sergeant next alluded to the language contained in some of the petitions, and asked if, now that the facts were fairly before the public, the petitioners would say that they were sa tisfied with the present mode of providing for their pauper lunatics, and wished that it might be con tinued because it could be done " at a moderate ex pence." There lay the secret.—(Hear.)—Every honourable and humane sentiment was crushed, when that loathsome feeling of self-interest crossed our path. The wretched paupers were chained, suf fering from fever, shivering with cold, purged, mop ed with cold water ; all very true, but it was done at a moderate expence. (Applause.) The first impression, however, on his own mind was, that this measure would be attended with a great expence, and bad, therefore, better be avoided; but when a petition to that effect was handed to him to sign, he refused to do so, because, being a magistrate, he would not preclude himself from further con sidering the subjects when he . should receive ad ditional information. Another worthy magistrate but who was not then in the commission, signed the pe tition at the time ; nevertheless he (Mr. Sergeant Pell) was confident that now he had better informa tion on the subject, he would this day vote in favour of it. With respect to there being only one petition presented for the erection of an asylum, that was because no steps had been taken to procure pe titions.—(Hear) With the truth on their side, the) did not want petitions. He (lid not wish to give pain by any observations of his; for he was sure hat those gentlemen who bad been at the head of :he establishments to which he had alluded,.had not wantonly sanctioned any acts of cruelty or neglect; but the fact was, their establishments had been toc , large, and they were therefore compelled to trust to subordinate agents. The Learned Sergeant went on to refer to the cases of various patients who had died either through neglect or bad treatment; and mentioned the case of a sailor Iboy, whom he had caused to be discharged from one of those houses to which he had been . sent, without being in the slightest degree mentally diseased. A man named Fairman, who was in Clerkenwell workhouse, re fused to do some work, and was sent to the White house, where he was confined for three weeks, until the flesh grew over his fetters, and his bones pro truded through the skin of his back, which had become ulcerated. In five weeks afterwards, this man gave substantially the same account of the cause of his having been sent there as he did on the first day. The Learned Sergeant, after dwelling upon the frightful misery occasioned by the present system, proceeded to combat the objection of expense,whicl. was urged against the proposed measure. The Lan cashire Asylum, containing 300 patients, had only cost 60,0001. Now supposing that for Middlesex were to cost double that sum, a half-penny rate, which was upwards of 10,0001. a-year, in 14 years, would discharge theprincipal and interest of 200,000/. and who would say that the removal of the dreadful sources of misery which he had described would not be cheaply purchased at such a price ? It had been proved, that if patients received proper attention within three months from their first illness, seven on: of eight of them recovered; if within six months, a smaller proportion of them : but if they did not re ceive it within a year, their case was hopeless. At present the law had no means of compelling early attendance; but if there was a country asylum, at tendance would be compellable in seven days; so that ultimately the expellee to the county would be much less. It was objected by some that this was only a job. As a proof that it was no job, all the advocates of the measure had voted for its discussion before the public. The first step of those who con templated a job would have been to secure secrecy. (Hear.—The veil was never drawn up by those who had motives of private interest for their con duct. Besides, the names of the Committee who had drawn up this report were a guarantee against such an imputation. The Learned Sergeant men tioned the names of Lord Robert Seymour, Colonel Clitheroe, Mr. Byng, Mr. Bouverie, Mr. Lushington, &c., whose characters he eulogised, particularly that of Lord Robert. Foi himself he should only say, that he would wish for no higher reward than to have it inscribed on his tomb, that he had been one of those who had con tributed to the establishment of an asylum for ths comfort and cure of those who would otherwise have been left for life in the helpless, hopeless, deserted state, in which they must have continued if the pre sent system were allowed to remain unchanged.— The Learned Sergeant concluded an able and affect ing address, of which we have only had space for a brief outline, by thanking the Court for their atten tion, and proposing a resolution that it was expe dient to provide an asylum for the reception of pauper lunatics in this county. Col. CLITHEROE seconded the resolution. Sir G. FARRANT said, undoubtedly the Learned Sergeant had made out a strong case of abuse; but he thought those abuses might be corrected in ths private houses as well as in a general asylum. The county rate was at present most oppressive, and there was great difficulty in collecting it. Many unfortu nate persons had their beds sold from under them, and therefore the Court should pause before the) would put the county to an enormous additional ex pence, if it could be avoided. The worthy Magis trate concluded by moving an amendment, that it be referred to the Committee to inquire by what mode the present abuses might be remedied, without putting the county to the expence of building a lu natic asylum. • Mr. BALLANTINE seconded the amendment. He agreed with the Learned Sergeant, that the Coßeg( of Physicians had not done its duty, otherwise thest abuses would not have existed. Some 'time must elapse, before an asylum, if they agreed to build one. could be completed; and during the two or threL years that would thus intervene, the sufferings whiel , ht to have paned out tilt d esc ribed must conti n ue. had Now b t e h e e n C s o o m affectinglyg means by which they meant to check those-suffer ings in the mean time. He did not suspect any body of being actuated by a desire to promote a job. but he was :intim. for further inquiry. Mr. BROUGHTON, itt an animated speech of con siderable length, supported the original resolution. He trusted that if they came to a solemn decision to-day, setting this qeestion at rest, the institution would be completed and in full action this day twelvemonths. He contended that it would be at tended iiith a considerable saying to the county. The pauper Ititinfies at present cost the county .18,000/. a-year. Sultptise the building were to cost od,ooo/. (which he thought it would not), that sum might be borrowed at 41. or even 5L per cent. ; 5,000/. a-year would keep down the interest; 5,000/. a-year more might form a sin kiti g fund, so that nOgwhich t 1 fy hey l e % ! 0 : 6u l ol v do o la u . 1 1 ;i d eb e te x js t oi i yd n e g fs t r i o i stmt the he d having gra grateful tand fu, contributed eff ace a ea ff s i lt r e e to the erection of such an establishment, when they should see the noble' edifice rear its head. The Learned Gentleman urged the adoption of the reso lution, both On the ground‘of humanity and economy. Mr. BeiscOk proposed a third measure —namely , the erection of an asylum on a small scale- 7 , viz., one which would not cost above 40,0001, and would hold 200 patients. The worthy Magistrate was pro ceeding to urge the adoption of this proposition at soiiie length, but being informed he could not move an amendment upon an amendment, and the Court beeoming impatient for a decisiOn of the question, he declined . c p e A sLi n n E g n i s t a s n a y i furtherd that, f i o i r the t ; le Legislature thought that the private mad-houses could be im proved they would have passed some measures for that purpose. But it was quite hopeless, and there- • fore the only plan was to erect 'a proper general asylum. Mr. PAINTER tld7Ugaltt o importanti s te n TldbebuiltfO r i o . 60,000 T. Mr. not been touched upon in this discuss!en. A system had certainly been disclosed fraught with evils; but in this mind the new one would be fraug'et with still greater. A most lame i ntable body of evidence had certainly been presented to the Committee of the House of Commons on this subject, and in evasion and falsehood had never been surpassed. Tiv: Learned Gentleman, after referring to some extraete from the Report in proof of this assertion, proceeded to argue, in a speech of considerable ingenuity, that greater evils would be occasioned by increasing the county-rates, than those which it was intended to remedy. The tax would be grossly partial in some parishes, in consequence of the difference existiree between the state of the population in the rural parishes from that of the town parishes, the numbar of lunatics being one-third less in propoLtion in the. former. As a proof of the oppressed state., of the poor-rate payers, he need only refer to the fact that 700 warrants of distress had been executed in one morning in the 'parish of St. John, Hackney. In fact, the oppression of poor's-rates was beyond all imagi nation ; and if some of _those gentlemen present, who were, he was . certain, .actuated by strong feeliege of humanity on this occasion, were to direct their dart, towards procuring the abolishment of that act by which this dreadful tax had been inflicted, they would there by remove a far greater load of misery than could pose sibly be accomplished by the erection of, a lunatic asylum ; whilst any addition to that already over whelming tax would reduce many of these who had to pay it, to the state of those very oisjects for whose advantage it wee sought to increase it.. Par liament would now meet in a few weeks, and it would be more advisable to wait and see what courier they would adopt. With respect to a quotation of the Learned Sergeant from an authority which we all revere, " I was in prison, and ye came unto me," Ile was quite sure they would all receive the reward which such conduct merited ; but still he thought it would be better to bestow some of that at tention without the prison, which it was so much :he fashion at present to bestow within. In his opinion it would be better to observe the preceding part of the exhortation from which the quotation was taken. " I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat ; I was this sty, and ye gave me to drink; I was naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me," (Hear.) —The Learned Gentleman concluded by supporting the amendment. Col. WOOD was sure that if they waited until Par liament met, as soon as they should s ead the evi dence before the Committee, they would come tO the conclusion that the Magistrates ought no longer to have the option of building an asylum or not. He hoped it would never be said that the county of Mid dlesex, in which, although there was much po verty, there was also great wealth, was not able to accomplish that which had been done by other counties.—(Hear.) Mr. Sergeant PELL, in his reply, lamented the state of distress which prevailed amongst the poor as much as the Learned Gentleman (Mr. Jessop), and would be happy to see the evil remedied. Al luding to the disgraCeful practice which prevailed at Harrow, where the poor were let out by auction to the highest bidder every Friday night, as if they were so many beasts.—(Cries of " Shame !")—As. soon as it came to his ears, he and his Brother Magis trates of that neighbourhood insisted on the matter being brought before them ; and being Chairman of those Sessions, he declared that he would, as a Chris tian, put down a system that degraded his fellow creatures below the level of their species, and Was cal ' culated in time to bring every man in the parish to a state of pauperism. The introduction of the subject of the poor -rates, however, was as foreign to the ques tion before the Court as that of any public works. Alluding to the misery of the pauper lunatics, he said he hoped their (the Magistrates) " eyes should not slumber, nor their temples receive rest," until they discharged a great duty to thase who, if they had no friends in them, had no friends at all. — For twenty years their hopes had been dis appointed by procrastination, which had always been a favourite mode of getting rid of the question. But he trusted that at last the Magistrates of Middlesex would no longer say that 870 unhappy beings were to have no .place for their comfort, or, what was of more importance, for their cure.—(Ap plause.) w a The fi e negatived,C n with t enc i h a nao eAopettrehlanlsytteotihn,eleuiebnimitcueicaopvt,dnuesehntniii another' an h v noo e i nnot observations person rber b. r e :o: r eat t io d ntnt eg m ormns e uheps n teet t avdnileiti e drd e uee l po i ca i lr eh iioi favourlis tened eonstrieerdhr.i.eti oßosofrßlai‘i amendment, t. l It was consequently not put. car ried, Resolution, appointing a Committee to carry the first into effect, was also eturied, and the Court adjourned.
