exactly the same predicament with Sir Thomas Erskine's chamber., As for the alleged inso lency of the people, we are disposed to fllow it in its worst degree. It must have beert partly owing to their elation of mind on the snore of their good fortune in attending the Kink to his rich inheritance, and partly assumed from an idea that they could best disouise their native poverty under a bearing of this kind. Mr. Henry Peacham, in his work called the " Complete Gentleman," which was published [;' in 1622, relates a story of one of the Scottish iadventurers of this era, which may be thought illustrative of what is here advanced. After re '- marking that " the truly valorous, or any way vil moos, are, not ashamed of their mean parent q age, but rather glory in themselves, that their i merit limb advanced them above so many thou. isands better descended," this writer instances a Colonel Clement Edmondes, a Scotsman by birth, who had attained rank in the service of the States General, purely by dint of his own deserts. A poor countryman of Edmondes, k who had newly come out of Scotland, and who wits anxious to secure the good will of so in fluential a parson, began to inform him, as there I were some strangers present, that my lord his 1 father at home was quite well, and that he had lately seen such and such knights his cousins, I who were also in good health ; thinking, no doubt, that this was the best way to ingratiate himself with a man of his order. But Edmondes interrupted him in the midst of his rhodomon tade, by saying to the gentlemen present, " My friends, do not believe a word that this knave says. My father is but a poor baker of Edin burgh, who works hard for his living. The rogue makes him a lord, only to curry my favour, by making you believe me to be a great man born."—Constable's Miscellany, Vol. LVI., Life of King Jam6Me First.

Pants, Juts o.—The nomination of the • great colleges prove the fatal influence which the law of 1828 has exercised on the minds of the electora. It cannot be forgotten that in 1820 there were 155 no minations of Royalists out of 172 in those colleges, and now, instead Of 17, the Liberals Will- pOihaps have 90. This state of things bus been producer) the licentiousness of the press, and by the comes siotts made since 1828, and a new dissolution would produce elections that would be still worse : the only counterpoise which the King has to oppose to de mocracy, the right to dissolve, is destroyed in his Lands. It is, therefore, the constitution itself which is now in imminent danger. We read in a Journal— " It appears that the King will not open in parson tire chiming session. The President of-the 'Council svill merely announce the, ittinediate presentation of the budget. 44,theleiVill not have been any speech frog, tigallione, the Chambers will have no opportu uity of replying to it by a threatening address.' (From the ifessager des (hombres of Friday, July 9). An express arrived yesterday from Toulon with tlespatehea and letters from the army, dated the 27th of June. The despatches are said to contain longer details than the preceding of the battle, of the 24th, die lust Weir in which the enemy acted on the offs dive. On the 27th the army was half a league troth Algiers. The telegraphic accounts yesterday In form us, that, on the 30th, our army was before the fort of the Emperor, and the post of the vigic above the Cassaba of Algiers. Private letters inform us that fresh hordes of Bedouins and Ilerberes are coming from the envi mos of Tremezen, IVlttscara, and other places in the interior, to intercept the communications of the French army, which report describes to them as abounding in gold and silver.

Tatzsre, Joist 28.—We learn, by letters front Zara, that the Austrian General, Baron Lasenberg, with three battalions of infantry, his entered the territory of Bosnia, in order to disperse time daring banditti, and to deetroy their fortified retreats. Thie seems to he the moat effica cious means of securing our frontier against further incur sions from Bosnia. Commercial letters from Corfu state, that the news of Prince Leopold'm renunciation of the Greek throne was known in Greece, and had caused great consternation there, Altaost all the Members of' the Greek Senate are represented as considering this event as extremely dieagree. able and dangerous tar their country, because the Prince was indueed to take this step by aceounts sent him from Greece, and the 'AlVeil Powers may be very probably eon eitteed by this that the emancipation of Greece is more easily proposed than effected, and be thereby induced to take extraordinary measures to settle the affairs of that eountry. The minds of the people are said to be greatly agitated, and . Count Cape d'lttrete himself to have some fears for his own safety, because he is reproached with having entertained Ambitious views, and of haring, by his reports, deterred the Prince from coming to Greece. The ' districts which, according to the. Protocol of London, are to be restored to the Turk*, are not likely to be voluntm rily evacuated by the Greeks, and all the rich families are leavirtg them betimes, that they may not witness latch metes of bloodshed. In these arduous circumstances count Cape d'istritte is said to have determined to lend lie youngest brother to Paris, in order, through the info pore of M. Eyttatd, to ;mince the Cabinet to take speedy eeatoree for )mtting WI said to the dangerous and un eatled state of Greece, and to make the . people easy with teepeet to th e ir d es ti n y. T he English, however, are of ;pinion, that the affairs of Greece meet be arranged with. trt delay, but certainly not in the manuer that the Circa Prceident appears to desire. Now that we are augmented with the landing of the French army in Africa, no daub. is entertained of the success of the enterprise, and public attention is much less directed to the issue of the under taking than to the eOteletretteea, and to the steps which the French Government may take after it has obtained satiafeedatn tt is well known that Prince Polignac bee invited the great European Powers to deliber a t e a ft er th e taking of Algi e rs, on the fate of the coast of Northern Africa; but if less difficult questions affecting the general oil particular ittteeente of the States of Europe have been sn aVfilealt of solution, how Isbell we expect tneasuree trt he so t oy found here to reconcile all interests, and to mettle this affair in an amicable manner.

It is now confidently stated that his MAJESTY will prorogue Parliament in person. On Saturday last Sir THOMAS TYRIVIIITT received his MA JESTY'S commands for the necessary prepara tions to be made in the House of Lords for his reception. A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office this day at two o'clock. Government has not received any further in telligence respecting the fall of Algiers since the telegraphic despatch, which they received from the British Minister at Paris on Saturday last. This despatch announced that the city surren dered at discretion, at noon, on the sth instant— that the French troops had taken possession of a great number of brass cannon, as well as of al} the stores—that twelve ships of war had been captured—that the Algerine authorities had re spected the lives of all those unfortunate men who were shipwrecked in the brigs Sylene and Aventure—and that the flag of the victors was floating over the Palace of the DEY. Since the above was written we have received by express the Gazelle de France of yesterday's date, and other Papers of Saturday night : TOULON, JULY 9, HALF-TAW TEN O'CLOCK. Algiers surrendered at discretion tin the sth instant, at "Yelvo o'clock. At two the King's flag waved over the iNovo of the Day. All our shipwrecked prisoners are saf e , irk eantinua nce of kny desp a t c h o f thi s morn ing, 1 have to announce that 1,600 pieces of brass cannon. 12 ships of war, and the military and naval arsenals stored with arms and ammunition, fell into our hands on Ws memorable day. I received these details from the Captain of the Sphynx, who left Algiers on the evening of the sth, and had just arrived. Intelligence from Algiers to the 2d communicates the following :—" We learn that on the Ist instant, Fort Emperor was battered in and carried. On the same day, a squadron under Reae Admiral Rosamel, composed of frigates of the first class, laid themselves at broadsides in the bay of Algiers, on the side of Barbazonne, and cannonaded that fort as well as the batteries of the suburbs, during the attack of Fort Emperor. On the 2d, operations commenced against the town, the squadron still continuing to fire broadsides; and, it appears, that the ramparts were completely swept by the balls from the ft igates. It is said provisions beginning to fail, a sedition broke out among the populace ; that the Moors and the Arabs de clared they would not sacrifice their lives and their pro_ perty for the Turks, and that the Turks themselves hoped by capitulation to save their private wealth, which they would take with them, and pass into the service of the Sul. tan. The Dey himself wa s no t w ith out apprehension as to the fate that might await him if he made a rash resistance. These intestine divisions, the tremendous play of the batteries, which were expected to make a breach in the course of the first day, and the continued cannonade of the squadron combined, sufficiently account for the prompt submission of Algiers. A most deplorable event was unhappily mingled with the exultation' of victory. We learn that on the 29th June a-whole batallion was almost entirely cut to pieces by a horde of Bedouins, at the moment when their corn mender, believing himself covered by other corps, had ordered his men to take their muskets to pieces and elm them. The Journal du Commerce says, " Will the occupa tion of one of the finest portions of the African continent, opening immense sources of wealth, and a way for the prcific conquests of commerce and civilization, be envied' and despised? Can it be so with any degree of justice? Delivered by the sole efforts of our arms from the scourge which has been inflicted upon them for four centuries, are not the nations of Europe bound by equity and gratitude to leave us in the enjoyment of this reward for so great a service?"

M. Monthel, the Minister of Finance, after having wavered a good deal, and even insisted upon a person being appointed in his place, has at length determined upon remaining." By the Flanders Mail, which arrived this morning, we have received German and Brussels Papers to the 10th inst. The Brussels Papers contain little domestic intelligence, except long accounts of the proceedings of the Provincial Assemblies to elect Deputies to the Second Chamber of the States-General. We lately inserted in The Sun the Report of the Metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy, made to the Home Secretary on the Ist July, 1829, and ordered by the House of Corn mons to be printed on the 15th inst., nearly a year after its date I The Commissioners are of great individual respectability, and we doubt not, anxious honestly to discharge a painful duty, which the public are their debtors for having un dertaken ; at the same time we freely confess the perusal of their Report has not afforded the satisfaction we had anticipated. The Report seldom descends to particulars ; we learn from it, however, that the Commissioners have licensed thirty-eight lunatic establiihments in their dis trict, and that the number of patients, from the Ist August, 1828, to the Ist May, 1829, re mained nearly stationary, the numbers at the former period having been 2,047, and at the latter 2,048. The total number of cures within the same period is stated at only 169, a propor tion which argues but little in favour of the medical treatment of this unhappy class of per sons, and, of course; as little in favour of that class of 'Doctors, who modestly announce. the treatment of insanity to be their " line of prac tice." The Commissioners, indeed, appear to he very much of this opinion, since the Report says, " The number of patients either cured or " materially relieved is so small, compared with ,‘ the total number of those under confinement, " as to strengthen our own Observations of the " imperfection of the present system, so far as it " is connected with restoration to reason, of " those who may be justly considered capable of 4( recovery ;" and then proceeds to account for, or excuse, the melancholy fact, on grounds that hardly warrant their conclusions. The Report speaks in favourable terms of the conduct of the proprietors and managers of Lunatic Asylums, and their disposition " to place them on a better system," but we are not told by whom they are kept, what were the abuses, or how they have been remedied. The Commis sioners state that they have found it necessary to obtain the sanction of the Secretary of State to the revocation of one licence and the discontinu ance of another, "after having strongly intimated " the necessity of correcting great irregularities l " in the management, and of improving Me g , condition of the patients;" and seem to admit that the disposition "to place them on a better " system" proceeds rather from a dread of their authority, than any disposition of tie parties themselves, since the Commissioners say, cg tee " have good grounds for believing Mat these i 4 instances of ''severity have excited sufficient (1 attention to justify our opinion of their im " portance in creating in all those connected with, or interested in, these establishments, " the greatest desire to conduct them in the best " manner." After the exposures of the various enormities practised in Lunatic Receptacles, the tone and meagreness of the Report certainly excites some feeling of surprise, —the Commisbioners, how ever, gentlemen in station, feelings, and habits, may be naturally averse to employ terms of harshness, even when merited ; and the same feeling, with out . . any imputati o n on their mtegruy or talents, may subject them to imposition by the generality of keepers, whose establishments they visit.; since they who can brutally tyrannize over the afflicted when placed in their power, will seldom scruple to cringe to, or, if practicable, deceive those to whose authority they feel themselves subjected. As the Commissioners enter into no detail of the present conduct pursued in Lunatic Receptacicg, we shall adduce some instances of what has taken place, from authorities as little to be questioned as their own, and if, in the shor t space between the passing of the Act of 9th GEO. IV., and making their Report, they have really brought the conduct of Lunatic Asylums to the state which the generality of readers will be likely to conclude.from its perusal, we think the public will agree with us, that they have per formed little less than a miracle. The atrocities committed in the York Lu natic Asylum, brought before the public by the intervention of the late Archbishop and some of the county Magistrates, was one , ar • of tne first , steps towar ds exposing the' prac tices pursued in these dens of misery. To bring the . subject;" however, iiearer home to a large proportion of our readers, we shall turn to Bedlam Hospital, and cite some of the many in stances of abuse committed in that establishment. One of the witnesses examined before the Committee of the House of Commons in 1815, after explaining the impediments interposed to gaining admittance to the Hospital, (for which there seem to have been very cogent reasons,) states, that on the 2d May he was introduced by ROBERT CALVERT, Esq., accompanied by C. C. WESTERN, M.P. for Essex, and few other Gentlemen, and then proceeds with the following painful details:— " At this visit, attended by the steward of the hospital and likewise by a female keeper, we first proceeded to visit the women's galleries : one of the side rooms contained about ten patients, each chained by one arm or leg to, the wall ; the chain all ow i ng t h em mere l y to stand up by the bench or form fixed to the wall, or to sit down on it. The nakedness of each patient was covered by a blanket-gown only; the blanket-gown is a blanket firmed something like a dressing-gown, with nothing to fasten it with in front; this constitutes the whole covering; the feet even were naked. One female in this side room, thus chained, was an object remarkably striking ; she mentioned her maiden and married names, and stated that she had been a teacher of languages ; the keepers described her as a very accomplished lady, mistress of many languages, anti cor roborated her account of herself. The Committee can hardly imagine a human being in a more degraded and brutalizing situation than that in which I found this le male, who held a coherent conversation with us, anti was of course fully sensible of the mental and bodily condition of those wretched beings, who, equally without clothing, were closely chained to the same wall with herself, una • ware of the necessities of nature, some of them, though they contained life, appeared totally inanimate and uncon scious of existence."--" Many of these unfortunate women were locked up in their cells, naked and chained on straw, with only one blanket for a covering." Again : " In the men's wing in the side room six patients were chained close to the wall, five handcuffed, and one locked to the wall by the right arm as well as by the right leg ; he was very noisy; all were naked, except as to the blanket-gown or a small rugon the shoulders, and without shoes; one complained much of the coldness of his feet; one of us felt them, they were very cold. The patients in this room, except the noisy one, and the poor lad with cold feet; who was lucid when we saw him, were dreadful idiots; their nakedness and their mode of confinement, gave this room the complete appearance of a dog-kennel." Whilst looking at some of the bed-lying patients, a man arose naked from his bed, and had deliberately and quietly walked a few paces from his cell door along the gallery; he was instantly seized by the keepers, thrown into his bed, and leg-locked, without enquiry or observa tion : chains are universally substituted for the strait waistcoat. In the men's wing . were about .75 or 76 patients, with two keep e rs a n d an e assistant, and about the same number of patients on the women's side; the patients were- in no way distinguished from each other as to disease, than as those who were not walking about or chained in the side rooms, were lying stark naked upon straw on their bedsteads, each in a separate cell, with a single blanket or rug, in which the patient usually lay huddled up, as if impatient of cold, and generally chained to the bed place in the shape of a trough; about one-fifth were in this state, or chained in the side rooms." The case of the unfortunate NORRIS is not likely to be soon forgotten, and has already ap peared in our columns, but believing that the prisons of the Inquikition or of DON MIGUEL were never disgraced by any thing more atrocious, we again quote it : " stout iron ring was rivetted round his neck, from which a short chain passed to a ringmade to slide upwards or downwards on an upright massive iron bar, more than six feet high, inserted into the well. Round his bady it strong iron bar about two inches wide was rivetted; on each side the bar was a circular projection, which being fastened to and enclosing each of his arms, pinioned them close to his sides. This waist bar was secured by two similer bars, which passing over his shoulders, were rivetted to ,the waist bar both b e f ore an d b e hi n d. Th e iron ring round his neck was connected to the bars on his shoulders by a double link. From each of these bars mother short chain passed to the nog on the upright iron bar. We were informed he was enabled to false himself, so as to stand against the wall, on the pillow of his bed, in the trough bed in•which he lay ; but it was impossible for him to advance from the wall in which the iron bar is soldered, on account of the shortness of his chain., which were only twelve inches long. It was, I conceive, equally out of his power to repose in any other position than on his back, the projections which on each side of the waist bar inclosed his arms, rendering it impassible fur him to lie on his side, even if the length of the chains from his neck and shoulders would permit it ; his right leg was chained to the trough, in which he had remained thus en caged and chained more than twelve years. To prove the unnecessary restraint inflicted on this unfortunate man, he informed us that lie had fur some years been able to with draw his arms from the manacles which encompassed them. He then withdrew one of them, and observing an expression of surprise, he said, that when his arms were withdrawn he was compelled to rest them on the edges of the circular projections, which was more painful than keeping them within. His position, we were informed. was mostly lying clown, and that us it Was inconvenient to raise himself and stand upright, he very seldom did so ; that he read a great deal of books of all kinds, history, lives, or any thing that the keepers could get him ; the newspaper every day, anti conversed perfectly coherent on the passing topics and the events of the war, in which be felt particular interest. On each day that we saw him he discoursed coolly, and gave rational and deliberate answers to the different questions put to him. The whole of this statement relative to William Norris was confirmed by the keepers. On Wednesday, the '7th June, when we again visited Betblem, we discovered that all the male patients who were then naked and chained to their beds in their cells, were in that situation by way of punish went for misbehaviour, and not from disease." The above are mere extracts from the minutes of evidence as to the treatment of lunatic pa. dents at the old Bedlam Hospital (New Bedlam we have the satisfaction of believing is at pre sent under better regulations, thanks to these exposures); but it is always to be remembered, that Bedlam was, and is, under the superin tendence of Governors little inferior in character or station to the Commissioners whose report is now before us, and individually as little to be suspected of wilfully sanctioning abuse ; and if 'under such circumstances such disgraceful atro• cities could be committed, how little real and permanent benefit can be relied upon from the labours of a set of gentlemen, however respec table, who have thirty-eight establishments un der their visitation,—more particularly if they should hereafter be succeeded by persons less zea lous in the cause of humanity ; or that the public mind, and consequently theirs, should become less alive to the abuses committed by those who undertake the charge of the insane, in which case the professional members of the comtnission would soon become the only acting visitors, and the public well know the little benefit derived from mere medical visitation. Until some means _ - shall be afforded by law for subjecting lunatic re ceptacles to a more severe and public visitation, and some means provided by which persons im properly confined may bring their cases before a public court of justice, no permanent and effec tual security against abuse can be obtained. The instances of abuse in private receptacles are not less flagrant than those we have instanced in old Bedlam ; but we have neither time nor space at present to detail them. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVff 0' CL 0 CK. A French Paper, received by the mail this morning, has the following second edition : " The siege of the Emperor's Castle has been pursued since the 27th with much activity: the arrangements of the Commander-in-Chief are such as will have ultimate success beyond doubt. The Algerines defend themselves like men in despair; and the atrocious conduct of the Dey, in causing all the members of the Divan to be de capitated, has only inspired momentary terror. The greatrst confusion prevails in the city every day; a new insurrection will break out ere long, and Algiers will be taken." Letters from Spain state that an insurrection has broken ' out in several parts of the country, in the mountains of Ronda: a band of 300 men has declared for Don Carlos. The Governor of Gibraltar, informed of these movements, has formed a military cordon in the neighbourhood of San floche. This and the new conscriptions have thrown Madrid into the greatest uneasiness. Jamaica Papers to the 2d June have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The fol lowing is from the paper of the Ist of June :—" It was reported in town yesterday, on the authority of letters re ceived by his Majesty's ship Victor, from Santa-Martha, that General Bolivar had actually embarked on board the Marmon frigate, with the intention of taking a pas. sage to this island. We took some pain, to ascertain the correctness of this report, hut could only learn that the Liberator was met at Barauguilla, on his way to earths gene, supposed with the intention of embarking in the first British vessel of war for Jamaica, which we sincerely trust he will reach with safety, as we do not consider his life secure for an hour among an ungrateful people, in whose cause he has sacrificed every thing."

There are still some doubts in the city of the surrender of Algiers to the French, owing to no further particulars haviag arrived, but we have seen a gentleman arrived yes terday from Boulogne, who states that the telegraphic de spatch was received there from Paris previous to his de parture, and preparations were making there to announce the ab,,ve event through the town ; therefore there can be no doubt of its surrender, and the second edition of the Paris Paper prepares the public for that event.

EXTRAOIWINARY NM:SIMMS AT THE BAHAMAS...—. The proceedings of the Governor of the Bahama islands, in relation to some recent slave trials, are of a nature to interest vitally all the colonies, if this precedent be recognised by any other West Indian Governor. Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, 'is divided into two parties, the office holders and the office planters, and the country is very poor. Lord Rolle is proprietor of some three hundred to 400 slaves. Ilia Lordship's agent is Mr. Lees, one of the Legislative Council. These slaves have long been in a dissatisfied state. A short time ago they resisted the Pro vost Marshal-General, and the Government were com pelled to enforce the law by a detachment from the army. Forty-four of these glares embarked in a boat belonging to their master; they said they were on their way to Nassau when they were chased into that port, and were going to make complaints to the Governor. These slaves were then committed to gaol, and Mr. Lee waited on the Governor, stating that these slaves had no cause of complaint, and their . offence was submitted to the Magistrates, who considering it a misdemeanour, tried them and sen tenced them to be whipped. The Governor, however, thought it expedient to remove Mr. Lee from the Council, and to supersede the Magistrates who tried the slaves. The private letters to-day by the estafette confirm the surrender of Algiers, but the particulars cannot be re ceived until Wednesday or Thursday from Toulon, except detached details by the telegraph; there cannot be the least doubt of the information. - Brazilian, 74 54 Buenos Ayres, 33 35 % 30 Colombian, 25 Danish, 74 54 French 5 per Cent. 105 6 Ditto 3 per Cent. 79 80 Consols have continued most part of the morning 4t stsi for the Account, a n d 94} f or next time. n the Foreign Market litt'e or nothing doing, the Share Market is also dull ; South Metropolitan Gas premium.
