In America, they were confined at nights in separate solitary cells, and brought out in the morning to work in silence, and under vigilant superintendence during the day.

" Captain Hall's book may probably do good in Ame rica; we hope it will—but we are quite sure it must do so here. It may furnish many well-disposed persons with arguments by which to defend the blessings they enjoy. It may decide the wavering, and confute, if not silence, the turbulent and revolutionary. The common-sense views he has taken, the penetration he has exhibited in sifting facts, and the powerful scrutiny he has exercised, give to his communications a very uncommon character both of interest and information."—Quarterly Review, Nov. 1829. PALJIIERS' IMPERIAL NEUROTIC BALSAM, 011 NERTOIJS AND iTOMACIIIC RESTORATIVE. THE very great success which has attended the administration of the above medicine in cases of low nervous debility, and the surprising effects which have bean produced in speedily restoring tone to debilitated stomachs, and, by so doing, strengthening the digestive organs, creating an appetite, and invigerating the whole 'viten., have induced the proprietor most strongly' to re commend it to the notice of the public, and to assure them, that, as as antidote against sickness, fainting, and hysteri cal affsetions, and as a Nervous and Stomachie Restorative, it stands unrivalled, and is a speedy core for the Ague. The most satisfactory and respectable references might be brought forward in its favour; but, as this method is fre quently adopted merely to deceive, and as a single bottle of the Balsam will almost invariably afford the greatest relief, if net wholly remove the complaint, the proprietor prefers recommending a trial, and leaving it to stand on its own merits.

The twice-adjourned debate on the Court of Chancery Bill was resumed last night. The neces sity of reform in the Court of Chancery is universally admitted. But it is contended that this Bill fur nishes additional means for doing what is already done with the existing means, while the real evils are left without a remedy. The great delay is with the Masters, and if the progress of the cause is not accelerated in that quarter, the speed in the pre ceding part of the cause is of no avail. Mr. D. W. Harvey observed, that even if there did not remain a single cause untried " the causes would not be decided—no more decided than a question was de cided in that House when it was sent before a Committee. The causes were sent to the Master, and there they remained in that living tomb await ing no resurrection. They were buried in the ten mausoleums i rr Chancery-buildings. But one Learned Gentleman said that the cause would be decided so rapidly that there .would be no occasion for a fifth Judge; but if that Hon. Member took a coach at Whitechapel Church to come to the Parliament House, and was seven hours in performing the journey, it would be of no consequence to him where he was stopped, whether it were Aldgate or St. Paul's-church-yard, or in Fleet-street. The plan now to give relief was by partial acceleration." The measure was lamely defended by Ministers and their adherents, while the opposition to it was most effective. The speech of Mr. Brougham, in particular, hit the Lord Chancellor very hard. Two divisions took place at it late hour in the morning, which left Ministers much where they were. The first division gave Ministers a majority of 133 to 96--the second a majority of 118 to 77. Still the Bill was not read a second time, for on Mr. Brougham's moving the adjournment of the House, Sir Robert Peel consented to the postponement of the second reading to Monday. We anticipate the loss of the Bill. It is nowhere a favourite.—Morn ing Chronicle. A warm scene took place in the House of Com mons last night. The subject was a late run on the Banks in Ireland, attributed to a letter from Mr. O'Connell to the Editor of the Waterford Chronicle. We are far from approving of the re commendation of Mr. O'Connell, which, if acted on to any extent, must have been productive of much injury to those who are least able to bear it. It is deeply to be lamented that Ireland should remain in a state which enables any individual, be he who he may, to produce the effects described by Mr. Doherty. The truth seems to be, that the people of Ireland are pipes on which all may play by turns. We should like to see the people possessed of a mind and a will of their own. If the Duke of Wellington, no longer Minister, or Sir Francis Burdett, or Mr. Brougham, or Sir James Graham, or Mr. Hume, or any public character in this country, were to ad dress a letter to the Editor of any newspaper in this country, in a neighbourhood where paper is circulated, recommending a run, the letter would be disregarded, except a doubt were entertained of the solvency of the bank. But quis told Gracchos de seditione querentes? The Irish Members, in their rebellion, as it has been called, on the subject of taxation, hare not set an example which entitles them to complain of any one. We admit that it was ill-advised in Ministers to meddle with the Irish Press. But, generally speaking, there can be no reason why any one part of the empire should be less taxed than any other part. The Highlands of Scotland, and Wales, are naturally poorer than Ireland ; but are we, on that account, to have one rate of taxation in the Highlands, another in Wales, and another in Ireland ? On the principle on which a different rate of taxation is contended for, with respect to Ireland, there ought to be a separate rate for each district. if Ireland is poorer than England, it will pay less, for the produce of a tax depends on the ability of the tax payers, and not on the rate. The great bulk of the population in Ireland are unfortunately below the reach of taxation, and it is immaterial, as far as they are concerned, what the rate is. But the gentry are selfish enough to wish advantages over their fellow-citizens in this country to which they are not entitled. if the Irish 'Squirearchy can only squeeze the people, and obtain an exemption from every burthen, whether on account of the State or the poor, that is all they care for.—Morning Chronicle. The Brighton Guardian contains an account of a magnificent festival at Rye, given to Colonel De Lacy Evans, who, aided by the public-spirited townsmen, has, after a severe struggle, succeeded in rendering that place an open boroUgh instead of a close one. The example is cheering, and capable of exciting to imitation. The dif fusion of the elective franchise among a greater number of individuals ennobles the new possessors, and throws fresh difficulties in the way of bribery, as it multiplies the ob jects to whom it must be applied. We congratulate the men of Rye on their success. 'We hope they will use their victory with moderation, and exercise their right with purity and independence. It may be expected that the other cinque ports—Romney, Ilythe, Winchelsea, and Hastings—will now soon appear in the field of battle—in the fair field of constitutional battle, and in like manner succeed in conquering their electoral privileges. They will have the experience of the men of Rye to guide them.-- Times. The suppression of the inhuman practice of Suttees was a measure which we had frequently pressed upon the no tice of our Anglo-Indian Government, as an imperative duty, long before it took place. It was said by those who defended the policy of the East India Company, that any attempt to abolish the practice would be an act of dan gerous interference with the religious rites of the natives of Hindostan, and might be productive of the most serious consequences. Even disaffection and revolt were predicted as the probable result of a measure having for its object the saving of human life from superstitious torture and exter mination. We have lived to see the Government on whose behalf this groundless plea was advanced, refute it by their own act. That Government, by one decisive order—as we had the satisfaction, a short time ago, to announce— extinguished the burning piles of a cruel superstition, and, without endangering in the least the tranquillity of their dominions, saved the lives of thousands of human beings from idolatrous sacrifice ! Thus one great step has been taken towards the civilization of British India, and a late reparation made to the violated rights of humanity.— Though we cannot but deplore the amount of torture and of death that has been inflicted in consequence of this step not having been earlier taken, yet we would not detract from the credit to which the present Administration of India is entitled for having at length extirpated a bar barism not only revolting to reason and morality, but shocking to nature. We never could see that the burning of widows alive on the funeral piles of their husbands was necessary for the stability of our Indian empire. The event has justified our anticipation ; for the order declaring this horrible custom illegal met nowhere with the least re sistance, although it is probable that fur some short time the Brahmins or Priests, who profited by those supersti tious cruelties, will endeavour to evade the law; but, un der the operations of an efficient police, the practice of tying the living to the bodies of the dead, and consuming both to ashes, will cease to have any existence except in the records of the incredible atrocities that are generated by the fanatical 'debasement of mankind. But there is another sanguinary Indian superstition which has its peri odical offerings of human victims. It is the worship of the idol Juggernaut—a worship truly demoniacal, and against the toleration of which, as far, at least, as the destruction of life is concerned, we have hitherto protested in vain. It is a disgrace to India, it is a scandal to human nature, that this wooden personification of the Spirit of Evil should be allowed, at stated times, to make a disgust ing and destructive progress through the land, and roll his chariot-wheels in triumph over the crushed and mangled LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1830. bodies of his frantic votaries. Is it a worship like this that should be made subservient to the collectio❑ of a tribute by any civilized Government? Yet a tribute is collected by a Christian Government from the pil grims who throng to mingle in the indecent orgies around the car of the idol, or to throw themselves beneath its wheels ! If that tribute be applied to repair the temples or to support the Priests of such a system, it makes the Government under whose authority it is collected fearfully responsible, before a higher tribunal than that of man, for the encouragement of the frauds and the cruelties which are practised on an ignorant people by the priests of this monstrous idolatry. We do hope, now that the rulers of India have felt it their duty to put down the practice of Suttee, they will feel themselves equally bound to prohibit the sanguinary orgies of Juggernaut ; and, instead of collecting tribute to repair his temples, which are stained with blood, level them to the earth, that the people may learn the impotency of the idol which their ignorant fears invest with the attributes of infernal power. It was by such decided and energetic conduct that the Roman conquerors of Great Britain put down the cruel superstition of the Druids, who propitiated their demon-gods by burning men in wicker cages on their altars. The Romans had never been intolerant to other nations on account of their religious belief, except where it violated the rights of humanity, and became, instead of a speculative folly,' an actual nuisance, which must be abated before a people could be in a situation to learn even the rudinients of civilization. We speak of the Romans, of course, before the despotic excesses of the Emperors changed the national character, for then, along with every other vice, they were taught that of reli gious persecution. The suppression of the human sacri fices of the Druids was, however, enforced as a mere matter of police, for they knew that such abominations could not co-exist with the moral improvement or civili zation of the people, and therefore their intolerance of so cruel a system was in itself an act of mercy., We are glad to find, as we mentioned yesterday, that a notice was given at the India House, on Wednesday last, of a motion rela tive to this subject for next Quarter-day—and that Mr. Poynder intends to move a resolution, in the Court of Pro prietors, to the following effect :—" That this Court, taking into consideration the direct encouragement afforded to idolatry, and also to the licentiousness and bloodshed connected with idolatrous observances, by the collection of tribute from the worshippers and pilgrims at the temples of Juggernaut, Gya, Allahabad, and elsewhere, both for the repair of those temples and the m , intenance of their priests, and attendants, recommends to the Honourable Court of Directors to take such measures as will have the effect of immediately directing the attention of the Indian Government to this subject, and of eventually removing such a reproach from a Christian empire." It is indeed a reproach to a Christian empire that it encourages a species of idolatry which a Pagan nation thought it shame to tolerate ! We hope Mr. Poynder will be successful in his laudable object, and thereby facilitate the civilization of our eastern dependencies, and cleanse the land over which a British Government presides from the foul stain of idolatrous crimes.—Morning Herald.

" OFFICIAL REPORTS FROM ALGIERS. •" The following details relative to the operations of the expedition against Algiers have reached Government;— " REPORT OF ADMIRAL DUPERRE TO TIIE MINISTER OF THE MARINE. " On board La Provence, Bay of Torre Chica, June 14, 1830. " ' Monseigneur,—Providence has favoured with com plete success the first operations of the glorious enterprise ordained by his Majesty. The King's flag waves on the Fort of Sidi Ferruch and the Tower of Torre Chica. On the 10th inst. I left the Bay of Palma with the fleet under my command, which I had succeeded in rallying again after its having been dispersed by bad weather in sight of the coast of Africa on the 31st ult. I approached that coast again on the 12th, in the morning, but strong easterly winds and a heavy sea again obliged me to stand out to sea, keeping the fleet together. Yesterday morning the wind was still fresh from the east, but the sea less agitated, and the weather fine. This first opportunity of proving myself worthy of the confidence of his Majesty ap peared favourable, and I embraced it. At eight o'clock in the morning the fleet was off the town of Algiers; it sailed along the forts and batteries, the commander Hof the blockading squadron, accompanied by •La Be!-. lone, leading on the naval forces which came first, followed by the reserve and transports, and at seven in the evening the fleet occupied the Bay of Torre Chica.— The enemy had evacuated the battery at the point and the fort of the bay, but they had conveyed its cannons and mortars to the neighbouring heights. Several cannon-balls and bomb-shells were fired upon the first line of vessels. A sailor was wounded on board the Breslow by a splinter. I ordered Captain Loviers, with the steamer le Nageur, to approach the beach ; he caused a battery of one cannon and one mortar in the fore-ground to be evacuated by the enemy. The day was too far gone for landing, and hence prepara tions were made to effect it at day-break. La Bayonnaise sloop, l'Acteon and la Badine brigs of war, which had no troops to land, stationed themselves in the bay to the east ward of Torre Chico, to take the batteries of the enemy in the flank, and beat them off the peninsula. The steamers le Nayeur and le Sphinx received orders to cover with their fire the landing on the westward. At a quarter past four this morning the first division of the army landed, with eight pieces of field artillery, under the fire of the enemy's batteries, which did little mischief. A seaman of the Sarveillante had his leg carried away, and Lieut. Du pont received a violent contusion from a spent ball. I have not received any other reports. The guns of the sloops stationed to the east of Torre Chica were well worked, and had a good effect on the enemy's batteries. Two sailors jumped on shore, and hoisted the King's flag on the fort and tower. At six the second division, and the whole of the field artillery, were safely landed; at half past six the Commander-in .Chief disembarked, and placed himself at the head of the troops. He immediately exe cuted a movement to turn the enemy's batteries, which were carried, after repeated attacks against masses of ca valry. By twelve the whole army was completely landed. It occupies the heights which are in advance of the Penin sula, and head-quarters are established at Torre Chica. Ammunition, provisions, and stores have been landed, and operations have been followed up with the utmost pos sible activity. The bay of Torre Chica, or Sidi Ferruch, presents much better shelter for the fleet than I had ven tured to anticipate. Though it is exposed to the winds from the east, to the west-by-north the anchorage must be very good, and the ships may ride in safety from their chain cables. Eager to convey to your Excellency this first intelligence, I am unable to enter into further details, par ticularly as to the operations of the land•forcis, which are not within my province. I shall collect, from the several reports made to me, such claims to the favour of his Ma jesty as may be acquired, and shall have the honour of submitting them to your Excellency. In fine, every one has done his duty, and will feel too happy if the King should consider that the navy has shewn itself worthy of his confidence. Believe me, &c. " DUPERRE, a , Vice-Admiral, CommanderLin-Chief of the Naval Forces. " REPORT ADDRESSED 13Y GENERAL DE BOURMONT TO THE PRINCE DE POLIGNAC. " i Sidi-Ferrucb, June 14. " Prince,—The naval armament that had been de tained more than 18 days in the bay of Palma, waiting for the landing flotilla, set sail on the 10th. The wind, at first very light, became so strong, that several small vessels sustained damage. Two cattle-boats sunk, and a part of their crews were lost. On the 12th, at day break, the coast of Africa was descried, but the increasing gale and a heavy sea rendered disembarkation impossible. The fleet stood out from the land for a short time, while light vessels were sent towards the peninsula of Sidi-Fer ruch and the two adjacent beaches. The certainty of find ing safe moorings, the shelter aftbrded against the preva lent winds by the direction and boldness of the shore, and the nature of the coast, which, being entirely open to the sea for an extent of 4,000 metres, afforded no ambush or concealment for the enemy, bad for a long time drawn our attention to that part of the coast as a favourable point fur landing. The retrograde movement ceased on the 12th, at nine in the evening, when we made sail to the southward ; during the night the agitation of the sea subsided, and on the 13th, at day-break, we were not more than two or three leagues from Algiers. The troops manifested the most lively s py, and cries of ' rive le Roi' resounded from every quarter. The fleet changed its southwardly course, and ran parallel with the coast towards the peninsula; the ships of war took the lead; they were destined to attack the works which the enemy might have constructed on the point of disembarkation. The breeze now blowing from the east, it was decided to land on the west of Sidi-Ferruch. At ten in the morinng the armed ships arrived off the peninsula, and found that the tower which stands there bad been abandoned. The enemy had dismounted a battery of 12 pieces of can non, the fire of which we had expected to receive. A camp was established at about a league from the shore. We perceived in advance of it several batteries, and parties of Arab horsemen. A steamer approached the shore, and soon dispersed these horsemen. The enemy's batteries sent a few balls and some shells towards the mooring ground, but without effect. At eight in the evening the three squadrons, the first division of the con. voy, and the landing flotilla, had all come to anchor. Orders were issued for the disembarkation to commence at day-break. On the 14th, before five in the morning, the first division was on land, without meeting with the least resistance. The two other divisions disembarked in suc cession. General Berthezeno advanced with the first, and tight pieces of cannon. Soon after the enemy's batteries opened their fire, and continued to cannonade us, although they were reached by our field artillery, and taken in the flank by the King's ships stationed to the east of the Pe ninsula. General Berthezene received orders to turn the left of the enemy's position. This movement had the desired effect. The batteries were abandoned; 13 16-pounders and two mortars fell into our hands. The divisions Loverdo and d'Escars followed the movements of the first. At eleven the combat ceased, and the enemy fled in every direction. Our soldiers displayed as much coolness as they had pm viously shown enthusiastn. We have lost 20 men, but not an officer was wounded. The aspect of the land in advance of the peninsula perfectly coincides with the de scription given of it by Colonel Boutin ; it Is sandy, and slightly undulated ; strong bushes cover nearly the whole of the surface. The peninsula is a calcareous rock, on which is reared a santon (a Turkish convent), to which the Spaniards hare given the name of Torre Utica. - W'e intend to employ it as a depot for our stores of every de scription. General Valaze has traqed ;tut an entrench ment, whiela will not have a great extent, but the con struction of which has already been commenced. ' I have the honour, &c. (Signed) " ' Count de BOURAIONT:' c‘ The following- is an extract of a letter fico;;; Toulon, dated the 18th inst.:—` yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, a steamer was descried at a distance, making for Toulon, and, two hours after, s'ne was seen with all her colours flying. It was then no longer doubtful that she was the bearer of important despatches. The impatience of the inhabitants became so gres,t, that the port w as crowded, and a procession, which was passing near the quays, was left by almost every one except a few eccle siastics. The most enthusiastic joy was expressed when AL Salle, lieutenant of the navy, on arriving, announced that the whole army bad landed on the coast of Africa on the 14th, and occupied a military position, after having drive❑ out the enemy from it. This important news was soon spread abroad. A proclamation, made by torch-light, communicated it to the inhabitants. A private letter states that the army has found an abundance of water near the mosque of Sidi-Ferruch. The corn was still standing; and the enemy's flight must have been vety sudden, as he had no time to set it on fire. From the dif ferent reports made of our loss; it appears that it only amounts to twenty or thirty killed, General de Bourmont had a narrow escape. He was on a hillock between the battery of Torre-Chica and a division of his army, whore movements he was following, when a cannon•-ball fell at his feet, and entirely covered him with sand. A letter written from on board the Provence on the 14th instant, mentions the following interesting circumstance, which occurred at the time of the separation of the Commander in-Chief and Admiral Duperril :—The picked companies, who were in this vessel as well as the Staff, were on the point of debarking, and General De Bourmont was going to follow them, when Admiral Duperr6, cordially shaking hands with him, said, with an expressive voice— ' Monseigneur, lam yours for life or death. You may rely upon me.' They then embraced each other. This inti mate union and mutual confidence was participated by the land and sea forces, who testified it by repeated accla mations. Their ardour was at its highest pitch." (From the Messager des-Chambres of Tuesday.) " sas, JU NE 21.—We spolisgasterfle,y of the arrival in Europe of the Marquis of Santo Amaro, who is sent by the Emperor Don Pedro to terminate definitively, with the concurrence of the great European Powers, the serious differences which have arisen between him and his brother Don Miguel. " The Brazilian frigate the Imperial Prince, which brings Don Pedro's Ambassador, arrived in the road of Brest on the 15th of June. The Duke of Leuchtenberg, who returns from Brazil, whither he accompanied the Empress h's sister, is also on board this vessel, which has been placed under quarantine for three days ; the Duke, therefore, could not land before the 18th. It may be re membered, that at the time of the marriage of the present Empress of Brazil it was reported, that permission to pass through France was refused her on account of the relation ship to Napoleon, and people have asked whether the Duke of Leuchtenberg would be allowed to pass through France. We know that permissio❑ to do this has been granted him, but that the request which he made to stop there has been refused. Yet, according to our civil laws, the ties of adoption which attached Prince Eugene to Na poleon were broken by the birth of Napoleon's own son, and it should seem that the political laws which regard the family of the ex-Emperor are not applicable to the family of Prince Eugene.

" A private letter from Carlsruhe has the following pas sage :—' It seems that the Grand Duke of Baden, whose parsimony had become proverbial, has left great riches : various secret cupboards contrived in pieces of furniture, behind the wainscoting, and under the floor of his apart ment, concealed his private treasure: By his will he has bequeathed all his private effects, and all the riches con tained in his chamber, to Mademoiselle Werner, named Countess of Laugenstein. According to the instructions which he has left, search has been. made for his treasure. Immense sums have been found in gold and in diamonds in various hidden receptacles, especially within a large piece of furniture, covered with a marble slab, which he had particularly pointed out to the witnesses of his bequests in favour of the Countess. The new Sovereign is nut at all pleased at being disinherited of such a brilliant fortune, and that at a moment when money might he of such essen tial service to his interest. It is supposed that he will not give up the riches amassed by his predecessor, and that legal proceedings will be instituted to invalidate the " FRENCH FUNDS.-.-PARIS, Jura 22.—Fire per Cents., 104 f. sc. 104 f. 104 f. se. 104 f. ; Four per Cents., 99f. 20c. ; Three per Cents., 7SE 10c. sc. 78f. 77f. 95c. ; Bank Stock, 1,580 f. ; Rentes de Naples, S6f. 25c. 40c. 35c. ; Royal Spanish Loan, 85f. s 4 3G %; Rentes Perpetuelled'Espagne, 74% % %; Haytian Loan, 490 f.

There was a very thin attendants last night, and the limited number of females was still more remarkable than on the former evening. The engagement of Miss PATON and Mr. Woon (a union of attraction which bad taste alone could have suggested) has proved a miserable failure ; and the coffers of the theatre, which those who wrong'y calculated upon the depravity of the Irish mind supposed would be replenished, will suffer by this injudicious and imprudent experiment upon public morality. The piece selected for last evening was Guy Manner ing, in which Miss PATON personated Lucy Bertram, and gava all the songs allotted to her with that scientific effect and bewitching sweetness for which she is so pecu liarly distinguished. Mr. Woon, as Henry Bertram, again obtruded him self, and had another opportunity of displaying his im pertinent disregard of the strong manifestation of execration which his appearance excited. This person has rightly estimated his own powers, in seeking for a re putation by other means than as a vocalist, for there is no one upon the stage more overrated. Throughout the dialogue, he betrayed a total ignorance of the most simple grammatical rules, and his lapses in this respect caused much merriment amongst the auditory. In his closing scene, where he recognis2s Lucy as his sister, his bear-like embrace, which was meant as a greet ing of Miss PATON, exhibited the gross uncouthness of the mis-shapen animal, and the audience expressed their sense of the indecent and unbecoming display. A word as to the personal attractions of Mr. Woon. Observed from the centre of the house, he appears to be about five feet ten inches in height, clumsily made, with particularly bad knees and legs, and a clownish awkwardness of gait and carriage, which an affectation of gentility only renders more apparent. His countenance is so fat• from prepos sessing, that it is ugly, and almost forbidding. This is not an exaggerated picture ; and we have taken the trouble of pourtraying it, i❑ order to show to those of our readers who have been restrained by a sense of public decency from visiting the theatre, the person who has been thrust for-. ward by certain circumstances, into a degree of public no toriety, which he never could otherwise have attained.— Dublin Morning Register of Wednesday.

LUNACY COMMTB6IOI4. COPY OF THE REPORT FROM THE METROPOLITAN COMMISSIONERS IN LUNACY, MADE TO THE RIGHT HON. ROBERT PEEL, HIS MAJESTY'S PRINCIPAL SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPART MENT, DATED IsT JULY, 1829. SlR,—The important nature of the duties which under the provisions of the Act of last Session have been imposed upon us as Commissioners for the li censing and inspecting lunatic asylums in London and its vicinity, induces us to report to you the general state of the houses under ourinspection, and briefly to communicate an outline of our proceedings. We cannot indeed but review our labours with some degree of pleasure, when, having completed three regular visitations, and having made several casual visits, we are enabled to state that our in spections have been, with few exceptions, very sa tisfactory. The establishments licensed by us hare been 38, and the patients who were confined in them, on the first of August, 1828, amounted to 2,047; and on the Ist of May last, to 2,048. In so large a number of houses it is impossible but that a great difference in their salubrity and in their general convenience, arising from local circumstances as well as from their management, must exist. But we have usually found a most ready attention on the part of the proprietors to such suggestions as we have thought it right to make; and in many instances the improvements which have been effected spontane ously by the proprietors and managers of these asy lums have evinced an anxious desire on their part to place them on a better system, and have justly me rited our approbation. But although the asylums,. with regard to the comfort of the patients, are generally as good as we could expect, we regret to say, that in those esta blishments which are more especially destined for the reception of poor and of parish , patients, very little attention is given to any curative process. 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 sys tem, so far as it is connected with restoration to reason of those who may be justly considered Ca pable of recovery. It must not, however, be sup posed, that the managers are as negligent on this point as the returns would imply; the permanence of the disease may be accounted for by the tardiness of the parishes and of the relations of poor persons in sending them to these establishments, where they can in no way contribute to their own support, and where they are necessarily maintained at a greater cost than they would be either in a parish workhouse or in their own houses; the malady is thus allowed to become inveterate before it is subjected to regular treatment. It is also but just to observe, that no Inconsiderable number of the patients in those private asylums have been received into them when discharged as in curable from public institutions for the cure of madness. In establishments for a more wealthy class of pa tients their cure is more attended to. The results are, nevertheless, less satisfactory than might be hoped. For as considerations of economy may be supposed to cause delay in the other class, so in this, the indisposition to cast the imputation of insanity on a near relation, and the natural feelings of reluctance at being separated from the objects of their affection, are not uafrequently the cause of re course to these establishments being deferred until the disease of the unfortunate patient has become so formidable and permanent in its nature as to be With difficulty, if at all, subdued. _ The want of occupation for the superior descrip tion of patients, and more especially for the male sex,isa defect not very easily remedied; and ulthougts the poorer classes are in many instances usefully em ployed in domestic services, it is not practicable to extend that mode of occupation to any great _pro portion of the patients, nor indeed is there always a willingness on their part to work. Some of those who are in a state of mind capable of exertion, are represented to us as frequently considering employ ment a hardship unjustly imposed upon them; co ercion for the purpose of effecting this object would, for the most obvious reasons, lead to the greatest abuses; we have not thought it expedient therefore to urge it so strongly as we should otherwise have felt inclined to have done, although we have taken every occasion to express our approbation when we have seen the patients employed apparently to their own satisfaction, and with cheerfulness and goodwill. The separation of patients of the same class of life, but labouring under different degrees and descrip tions of insanity, has not escaped our attention ; great difficulties occur in carrying this into very complete effect. In the large establishments classi fication to a certain extent is attended to, but it is not universally conceded by those who have the management of these asylums that the entire sepa ration of the patients who are dejected from those who are excited is beneficial to either class. Clas sification, however, in our opinion, is an object never to be lost sight of, and more particularly in that rank of life where previous education and habit make the distinction of manners, of appearance, and of conduct, more perceptible to the patients; the strictest attention should be paid to keep those in dividuals who, from the peculiar tendency of their malady, are necessarily objects of disgust, apart from those who, labouring under aberration of int - ,;ifect, are nevertheless fully capable of feeling most sensibly the misery of living with su c h associate;e. In the large establishments, the st:Actest attention is paid to the entire separation of - the two sexes; in some of the smaller, the nature of the premises and of the building prevent so complete a distinction of the apartments and of the airing grounds as we could desire, thus leaving to the vigilance of the attendants that which we should much prefer to rest, in addi tion to their constant attention, on the construction and allotment of the asylum. We are well aware that there are reasons for tile union of establishments for male and female patients, but the preponderance of good appears to us so decisively in favour of the separation, that we have taken every opportunity of urging it, and we have received assurances from se veral of the proprietors, that they would do every thing in their power to effectuate this desirable ob ject. To attempt it precipitately would occasion such serious sacrifices of property, and so much in convenience, that we have not thought it just to urge an immediate attention to it, more especially as we have not the slightest reason to suspect any abuse under the present system. From our Visitation Reports it:will appear that we have made the prescribed inquiries respecting the religious consolation afforded to patients. Some at tempt is made in most of the establishments to at tend to this point. The opinions of its utility to the patients are, nevertheless, various. It is obvious that to a large class of them it cannot be useful, and to those who are insane on religious points it is stated to us to be not unfrequently prejudicial; indeed we are of opinion that even with re gard to those patients who are capable of behaving with decency during the celebration of divine service, very few, if any, derive real benefit from it. We are nevertheless most anxious that whenever they can attend with decorum, religious service should he regularly performed ; and we feel this the snore de sjsakle, as we cannot but contemplate the probability of such a practice being most advantageous in its effects on the keepers, and on other persons con.. cerned in the care oP the patients. We have had occasion to exercise the powers con tlded to us, of releasing patients whose state of mind appeared to justify our interference, 40 to have caused, either by our onnt authmitlyr liy communie cation with the frlends of the pats t$ release from confinement of nine indiehlials';'' of thes6, putt... fortunately, it has been neeessary tie Y hse e three,ia confinement, but we eannot reyet- that te,* inthga. cases of failure the experiment teas we cased their release, we we\.o awn t? of thopoisi: biiity of the recurrence of their maliclf; -- -blit we felt ourselves called upon in the , dischaikii - OT:4 o ty not to permit persons to continue in confinement whose sanity at that moment we did not doubt, and fled eet, re who
