SIMPSON has received directions -v_a_ to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, in the month of January, (unless an acceptable offer be previously made by Private Contract), The FREEHOLD BREWERY, with Spirit Trade attached, situate in the High-street, Lowestoft, and carried on successfully for many years by Messrs. G. and W. Everitt, but in consequence of the death of Mr. George Everitt the property will be sold, and offers an eligible opportunity for investment, as skilfulness and industry only would be required in the management to realise an extension of the free and private trade, which is at present considerable. The home premises comprise an excellent residence, brewhouse, with tun rooms and stores, yard and stabling. The fixed plant, which will be included in the purchase, Consists of a 15 quarter tun, two brewing coppers, one of 38 and the other of 19 barrels, and all other requisite plant in proportion. Also 14 inns, public and beer-houses, which are all freehold, 'with the exception of one copyhold ; six of the houses are in Lowestoft, and those in the country are generally at convenient distances from the brewery: a malthouse with IC quarter steep, two working floors, &c., maltster's cottage and yard. A considerable portion of the purchase-money may remain on mortgage, Particulars are in preparation, and may be had in due time of Mr. William Everitt, the proprietor, who will now on application show the premises, and give all information required ; of Henry Ling, Esq., solicitor, St. G:les's, Norwich ; and of Mr. W.

PARIS AND STRASBURG LINE—RHEIMS BRANCH AND SARREBRUCE. EXTENSION.—III the terms of the conces sion of this line, the company must construct a branch to Metz, and extend the line to Sarrebruck. The follow at Longeville, or in front of the village of Ars; a stone-- bridge of twenty-one metres over the Rue de Mad, near Amaville; another bridge of 140 metres over the Mo selle, in front of Frouard; two bridges over the Canal le la Marne-au-Rhin; seven viaducts, and thirty-six level passages across common roads. As the Metz line is traced in the valley of the Moselle, the gradients will be very slight, except at the approaches to the bridges, .ind also the approaches to the principal line. But for :hese, the gradients would not be more than four milli metres in a metre. LUBECK AND SCHWERIN.—.A. letter from Hamburgh, of the 2d of December, states that the decision of the \feeklenburg Chambers regarding the Lubeck and Schwerin projected railway, is anxiously awaited in that :own. The complaints of the towns of Wismar and Ros tock, the letter also states, find no echo in Hamburgh, .where the opinion was, that instead of suffering any in jury from that railway, they would derive from it as much advantage as any other towns. SCHWERIN, DEC. I.—HAGENOW AND SCHWERIN DlNE.—Opprations on this line have commenced to-day, 'tear the "Field Gate" of this city ; Baron von Lutzow, he Minister of the Interior, raising the first sod of earth al the presence of the Town Council, the Directors of the railway, all the officers employed in the department of Public Works, and an immense assemblage of the inha.- eitants of the city. The sod having been raised, M. Irndt, the architect, wheeled the first barrow of earth. I'he line will be 20 miles in length, and the expense of .aeh mile 150,000 Hatnburgh marks. Few difficulties pre .ent themselves between Hagenow and the Ostroff Lake.. mince there will be but few cuttings and embabliments,. mad those of no great magnitude. In the vicinity of Schwerin, however, several natural obstacles will have to be surmounted. Tne Schwerin station, the length of which ail' be 2,400 feet, and the breadth 960, must, to .Kt placed on a level with the road of the Lubeck, bet oink twelve feet into the ground. From the station the. 'ins will proceed partly through and partly round the town, making occasional curves, to Lake Ostroff. Cut tings of 6,000 feet in length, and 30 feet in depth, will acre be repaired. The ground from these cuttings will le made use of for the formation of the great dam to be made across the lake. The other works of art which de .erve mention are a bridge over the river Sucle, and a unnel under the road of Wittenburg. This town, being the central point of all the Mecklenburg railways, a manufactory will be built at the station for the con truction of the engines, the cost of which is estimated at 200,000 Hamburgh marks. MISS CUSHMAN AND SHERIDAN KNOWLES.—Thi accomplished actress, after delighting the Glasgow audiences ror the last fortnight with her admirable and varied perform ances, took her farewell benefit on Saturd iy evening. The performances were Sheridan Knowles's play of The Wye and the last two acts of Guy Mannering. We were gratified to see an , overflowing house. We understand that she has proceeded to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, to fulfil a short engage tient in that town, prior to appearing in London on the 29th instant. On this occasion she will perform the part of Romeo, and her sister, a lady who is no stranger to the American stage, but who is new to this country, will make her ap - ince as Juliet. We should not omit to mention a little in cident which occurred before the curtain rose on Saturday- Mr. Sheridan Knowles, whose great admiration for Miss Cushman's acting is no secret, was observed to take his seat in the boxes, and though he seemed to shun observation, not to court it, he was observed by some persons in the pit. The `act of his presence spread rapidly through the house and a round of applause—renewed again and again— saluted the poet, and showed in a most gratifying manner the respect of the people of Glasgow for his genius and character. — Glasgow Argus. THE STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES.—The trade of this district has never been, probably, in a more flourishing; state than at the present moment. Every branch of " the; potter's art" is in full work, and good hands are sought after. We believe that without exeeption every manufactory is in active operation, and it is satisfactory to state that compara tively little is doing for stock, but almost entirely to order-- Ste/Ton/shire Mercury. COMPETITION CARTOONS FOR THE ART•UNION OF LONDON.—In order that the Committee may determine what accommodation will be required for the exhibition of the cartoons to be submitted in competition for the premium of 500/. offered by the society, artists were each requested to send to the office on or before Monday last, a sealed letter containing his name and address, and having on the outside the title of his intended painting, and a motto or device, by which the cartoon must also be distinguished. In compli ance with this request, 26 letters have been forwarded to the office, and the Committee are now seeking a fitting gallery to receive the designs. It may be well to mention, that artists who have not sent intimation of their intention to forward a cartoon are not thereby disqualified ; this was simply a re quest, not a stipulation.—The Builder. NEVER TRESPASS ON A RAILWAY.—On Friday evening as the engine-driver of the Python, from Chester to Crewe (Joseph Rhodes), was approaching within two miles and a half of Crewe, with the mail train up, lie saw some thing lying en the down-line like a human being, which he reported to the inspector at the Crewe station, who immedi ately returned with the engine and picked up the body of a respectably-dressed woman, who had been struck down by the second-class train. Her head was broken to pieces, and her left arm and foot cut off. It appears that the deceased is the daughter of a respectable farmer near Bolton. Her name was Ann Gregory. She had lived with Mr. Hill, of Wor lastone Rookery, and it is supposed was repairing thither to see some of her old fellow-servants. The deceased, to econo mise and reach her destination on as good a read as possible, had chosen to trespass on the railway, using the precaution to allow the express train to pass her, and, not being aware that another followed so quickly, she fell a sacrifice to the second train. This sad accident should operate to warn every one not to trespass on the railway, which is more dangerous than those unacquainted with the traffic may be led to suppose. Let us reiterate, however cautious any one may think himself, never trespass on a railway.—Liverpoot Al/non. DISCOVERY OF TESSELATED PAVEMENT AT COL CHESTEIL—During the past week another relic of antiquity has been brought to light in Colchester, in the shape of a Roman tesselated pavement, of considerable extent, of the plain red description, without any variegated design. The scene of this discovery is in a garden recently purchased by Mr. Bryant, of High - street , in the rear of the line of houses on the eastern side of North-hill. It was dis covered by a man employed in donble-trenching the ground, who, finding his spade obstructed by some hard substance, carefully removed a portion of the earth, and then called the attention of Mr. Bryant, jun., to the circum stance, by whose direction a larger space was laid bare, and disclosed a portion of the paveme nt in q uestion. This encouraged him to further excavations, and a space several yards in length by two or three in breadth has since been uncovered. In the course of this operation remains have been discovered of fresco-painted w alls, and from portions of charcoal and other appearances it is supposed that the building of which the pavement original!) , formed a part must have been destroyed by fires Portions of urns, the bearss ate of nn p t r h e e sreervmaaitninsn,ofhhauvemaanlsbnobnees,ea apodunad.coi The fineter obverse—" VRBS ROMA," with helmetod head ; the re verse, Romulus and Remus with the wolf.

HANDSAME BEQUEST.—The treasurer of the Phi lanthropic Society, of St. George's-fields, has just received the handsome sum of 2,000/. from the late Mrs. Ann War ring, as a legacy on behalf of its funds. It was reported at the last quarterly meeting of governors, held on Friday evening last, that a donation of 50/. had been sent by Mr. John Salte. Out of the 55 boys admitted during the past year, all but four had turned out well, and a resolution was passed to admit the children of convicts, recommended by a magistrate, by the payment of their board only. The re form school and other buildings in the course of erection by the society are now very nearly completed. There are at present 70 boys in the institution wholly maintained and educated. THE SEASON.—We have passed suddenly from the temperature of spring to winter. During the whole of last week the Welsh and Yorkshire hills have been covered with snow or sleet, and yesterday morning the ice was very thick on the ponds. This severe weather will check, at least for a time, the disease amongst the potatoes, and will improve the quality of the corn brought to the market. —Liverpool Times. EXTRAORDINARY FORTITUDE.—The Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle narrates the following extraordinary in stance of presence of mind and fortitude. A few days ago, Samuel Mason, tenter in one of Mr. Swan's mills near Kirkaldv, met with a severe accident in the following man ner :—Having observed a cord entangled with one of the belts, he went up a ladder to relieve the same; but, on doing so, the slack portion of the cord took a turn round his left thumb and arm as it was drawn onward by the movement of the belt. Being thus fixed, he foresaw his instant destruc tion if drawn up to the pulley by the belt, end with singular fortitude and presence of mind, he grasped a column close by with his arms and legs, and held on till his arm was literally sawed and torn asunder. Being thus relieved, he slid down the column to the floor, took off . his bonnet and clapped it on the bleeding stump, holding it with his hand, rushed out, and across the street to his father- in-law, where, ex hausted and breathless, he fell on the floor, before the engine was set off, being the first means by which any assistance could have been rendered . him. An express was immediately di spa tched for surgical aid to Is-irkalcly, a distance of more th a n two miles, when his arm . was amputated above the torn part; but finding the bone so much injured, they made an other amputation a little below the shoulder-joint He stood the operations well, though he must have been much ex hausted from the loss of blood and the unavoidable length of time that elapsed before surgical assistance could be rendered. Nevertheless, after being carried to his own house in a chair, he went up his own stairs os his feet, and has since been doing wonderfully well. MEMOIRS OF LADY HESTER STANHOPE.—The fol lowing is the character of Lady Hester Stanhope, as drawn by the Quarterly B.eview, in its account of the very interest ing memoirs of her Ladyship lately published, and which are attracting so much attention :—" Lady Hester Stanhope was the grand- daughter of Lord Chatham ; she had all his spirit and fire, much of his penetrating quickness, some of his fancy, not a few of his eccentricities. In t h e g reat faculty of seeing clearly into character she excelled to the last, and was sel dom mistaken, unless when her temp er or her prejudice dug pitfalls for her judgment. Her courage was undaunted at all times; her pride towering like that of all her house; her honour, like theirs, pure from e ver y stain.; her generosity so boundless as to spurn all the limits which h ever er means pre at scribed. In her ideas and projects there was somewh . of the romantic—much of fanc y —little o f reason or reflection i —vet with all this, whi ch p oints to the ideal and mpractic able,' she acquired an influence, an ascendant, over those w ith whom she came i n contact, whether public or private P artie., w hi c h seems all but fa h n lous. She might well have been the chosen solace of the private hours of Mr. Pitt. Sh e w as the daughter of his favourite sister, and lived with hi m for the last years of his eventful life. With her great talents, her lively and various conversation, her admirable manners, her frankness, so likely to relieve one whose shyness was ha bitual and painful—she became the favourite associate of his l e isure, and was pits necessary to his existence ,;; ~ .. yg.

MACKENZIE, PATERSON, AND CO. REPORT TO THE iiIIA.REHOLDERS. Your Directors hive the satisfaction to announce the amalgama tion of eight principal Companies is competition for the lease of this Railway. Among these competitors, your Company occupied a proud posi tion. They not only presented a subscription list of the very first class, and comprising mach that was calculated to inspire public confidence, but a deposit fund, amounting to 6,425,000 f., or more than double the caution -money required by the French Government. It is gratifying to your Directors that, by common consent, even amongst their competitors, the first place was conceded to your Com pany. In the actual state of the money market, and in the present de pressed situation of railway property in general, your Directors deemed it prudent to prefer rather a fraction of a concession, obtained upon the very best t - mils, than to run the risk of a probably reckless competition, that could not fail to be ruinous to the Company who should* obtain it. To arrive at a resnit so much to be desired, and to include in this arrangement all the bona fide competing Companies, your Directors made many successive sacrifices. They have succeeded is retaining one-fifth of the stock, and seven Directors (four French and three English) in the consolidated Company, viz. - CAPITAL.

The Illron Sarget, Regent of the Bank of ,ordeaux ; Edwift4 Calliard and Bagnleres, Directors of the Messa gcries Gene - tales of France ; Monternault, ancien magistrat ; William Maskenale and J. D. Bar ry, Resident Directors in Paris ; and Richard Paterson as a member of the Board in London. The other members of the London Board are Mr. John Anderson, Kr. Bagshaw, and Captain Chamfer, R.N. The competition of the "Postmasters' Company" did not in the least alter the determination of your Directors as to their bidding. They had made up their minds, whatever might be the number of competitors, not to accept the lease of this railway unless for a term that could not fail to be highly remunerative to the Shareholders (considered only with respect to the actual traffic), in addition to the mathematical certainty of the repayment of the capital in the term of the lease, by the operation of a moderate sinking fund. The result of the adjudication is, a lease to the consolidated Com pany for a term of 34 years and le days, to be computed from the period of the opening of the line to the public, throughout its entire length from Tours to Nantes. The maximum term fixed by the law relating to this railway was 35 years. As to the general conditions of the grant, it may suffice to say, that they are precisely the same in every respect as those, of the Ns leans and Bordeaux Railway, except that the eete of the Tours and Nantes Railway the Company are tileutia to repay the Govern ment the actual cost of the land Tor the seat of the railway and its accessories. The Compaey Will thus have to support only about one-half of the entire cost of an admirably constructed railway, stocked and appointed in the most efficient manner. They will, conseqUentles llatt obmy one-half the capital on which to provi le a die - Mend, With the whole net revenue of the line applicable to that piirpose. After the distribution et' a aturn equal to eight per cent. per an num to the Shareholdeete the Government is entitled to one-half of the surplus profits, but not until after the first five years of the open ing of the line throughout to Nantes, and net even then unless the aggregate profits of the preceding years shall have been tett!l to all per cent. on the capital actually expended - , plus a sinkiiik hind. Your Directors would just obierete OW A sinking fund of one and a half per cent., improved et foist per Cent. compound interest, (I. e., extinguishing a fettr eel tent. stock, by paying off a certain number of Shares antandly), will liquidate the whole capital of the Company in 33 years 46 days. There will then remain nearly one year of the lettse unexpired, together with the value of the stock, materials, and stores, to be repaid to the Company by the Government, or the MUIR lessees of the railway, within three months after the deteennitatiOn of the term of the lease. The revenue of the last yeat of the term, together with the amount of the valuation of the stock and stores of the Company, will amount to several Millions of francs, which will be either distributed in the Shape of a bonus to the ultimate Shareholders, or the annual einking fund may be reduced to one and a quarter per Mt, on the capital from the commencement, as the Directors may deteeminiSe Considered in all its bearings, and More especially,ivith i'•skiect ld the strong presumption that the first lessees Of tile French railways will be lessees in perpetuity, seta to A one of some sort on renewal of the term, petit' Dliteteli are ed to believe that the grant of this railway, ttpen the terms upon which it has been obtaine d, will be one Of the best, if not the very best railway property in France. The foregoing arrangements as to the distribution of the Waal amongst the competing Companies will enable yours Directors to give one share in the consolidated Company for every flee of the reduced shares in this Company. Parties entitled to frietleas eliftree render them available by joining several togetlear, and alViaffig llit whole shares afterwards, tier Which every peseible fltellity will be given. The right% of: the 61Meeholdera will be preserved intact, although they may haVo omitted to exchange their old receipts for new once in tithe for the late competition. The adjudication pronounced in favour of this Company, hit 1110- day, November 25th, was approved by Royal Ordinance, In the offi cial " efoniteur" of Friday, the 28th of the same month. Stich is the favourable light in which this consolidated Company is viewed ti3i the ('• ernment, that the Royal Ordinance approving the statutes of tie 'orneany, usually a work of some mot - ells, has been already obtained. The Company is thus definitely and legally constituted a secrete anonyme, by which tin liability of a shareholder is limtteil to the number of shares of which he is the proprietor. The first duty of your Directors Will be to return to the Share holders the excess of the deposits paid, after retaining 51. per share on the consolidated shares, at the same time to give a voucher for the number of shares to which each shareholder is entitled. This duty will be entered upon as soon as the necessary forms can be prepared and printed, on Friday, 12th of December. The Certificates of Shares in the names of the Proprietors will be issued as soon as they can be got ready. The statutes of this Com• pany permit that the Shares may he transferred to bearer, when 101. per Share shall have been paid up, after which no transfer will be required. The works of constntetion are in a .neat state of forwardness nearly throughout the whole line, but more especially so on the first and most important section, between Tours and Angers. No time will be loot in taking the requisite measures for bringing this highly pro duceve section into early active operation in connexion with the ifei of the Tlar , lelnx Ti9il , vgv Orlefina end Tours. .';-e y, tea ,! 1.3 LaCle LiALL: els.mtet smmL for tilt: co,i.;.ktion and stocking of the railway.

Particulars and plans of the property may be shortly obtained of M. Lloyd, Esq , London-street, Derry ; William Elliott, Esq., Strabane; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W.

One of the most improving and extensive Fee.simple Estates in the United Kingdom, containing 50,000 Acres, the greater part situate in the manufacturing district of the country. it. W. W. SINIPSON has the honour to an nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro prietor, and intends to offer for SALE by AUCTION, in the ensuing spring, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast, The GALGORM or GLENAHERTY, the Braid, and Kells ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys of the river Main and the Braid and Kells Waters. The Galgorm Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable im provements. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of superior land in hand. On the property, which embraces a great volume of water power, there are many ex tensive bleach greens, beetling and corn mills, in the occupa tion of wealthy and respectable manufacturers, and several of the tenantry are engaged in or connected with the various branches of the linen trade ; the majority are Protestants, and In the highly.favoured province of Ulster are remarkable for their in dustry and intelligence. The bogs attached to the estates are very valuable, and there are extensive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quarter of a mile of this the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20 miles distant from Belfast; the entire of the estates include a surface of about 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Railway, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the property, as well as also two other railways in contemplation. Particulars are in preparation, and may, In due time be obtained of Messrs. Reeves and Sons, solicitors, bier rion.square, Dublin; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W. Simpsou, 16, Bucklersbury. Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of his pamphlet has been published, on which the " Times " newspaper made the following review : " Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly re- spected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pamphlet entitled ' A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.'" The " Dublin Evening Packet," in reviewing this work, gives the following character of its author:.—" Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman of vast experience in mat. tors relating to the improvement and value of land in his own coun try. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most comprehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly acquainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much perhaps as any _ . . - man in his time to improve her resources, by encouraging the in. vestment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion on the score either of interest or partiality. His tes timony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably un impeachable." BISHOPSOATE-STREET, IN THE CITY OF LONDON. To HOTEL and TAVERN-KEEPERS, SPECULATORS, and !

W. the lNr.

The property comprises a spacious coffee-room, bar, bar parlour, with several well-arranged sitting.rooms, and thirty-six convenient sleeping apartments, appropriate domestic offices and servants' rooms, arched beer cellars and wine vaults of an extent commensurate with the business which has heretofore been carried on. A house and tap in the yard, which from the situation com mands a good trade, underlet to Mr. J. Kerrison. The above pro perty is let to Mr. T.

The following examples given by the Metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy in the years 1843 and 1844, of the state and condition of the inmates in some licensed houses, will convince the reader of the neces sity of providing the means of checking the abuses and defects therein pointed out. The report is ad dressed to the Lord High Chancellor of England. In noticing the houses to which the Commissioners more pointedly allude, we deem it unnecessary in every in stance to mention the names of the governors or of the county. One asylum reported, was formerly a small gaol, the cells and rooms in which, when visited, were apparently in their original condition ; windows had not been added, excepting to the part that faced the public street. The food and other necessaries were contracted for; the rooms were deficient in every com fort and almost every convenience; they were small and ill-ventilated; some of the lower rooms almost dark, and the interior of the asylum altogether out of repair; the two day rooms, one containing seven males, the other five females, each measured about twelve feet by nine feet; the floors were of soft stone, and parts of them had been torn up and destroyed. There was no seat, table, or any article of furniture in the women's room, and nothing except a table in the men's room. The men were standing; the women standing or sitting on the floor; but in the presence of the Commissioners, a long board, or seat, was introduced and fixed against the wall, upon which, however, only four could sit; there were large holes in the walls and ceilings; the airing courts were small and cheerless; the floors were strewn with large stones, either fallen or forced from the buildings, which were dangerous weapons in the way of two of the pa- tients, who were mischievous ; there was also among the seven male patients one fastened in a chair, in a se parate room or cell. The dress of all was dirty, ragged, and insufficient ; the stockings on the female patients such rags only as are occasionally seen on heaps of rub bish ; not a single change of linen, either for the beds or the person ; there were only sixteen straw beds, in a most filthy state, for the eighteen patients. One patient (a boy of nineteen), slept on loose straw, upon a stone floor, in a small dark cell ; another patient (a girl), who was convalescent, slept in the same room with the keeper and his wife, on a bed belonging to them. Two patients were confined in strong chairs, to which their arms were fastened. Two were thus confined separately in small rooms, to which scarcely any light was admitted through the gratings; one, a woman, was entirely naked on both the days on which the Commissioners visited the asylum; both dirty patients, and the stench was such as to be scarcely possible to remain there. No place for exercise during wet weather ; no books or amusements ; prayers a ere never read ; no clergyman attended, although a female patient, who was occasionally depressed and ima gined that she had not done her duty to her child which had died, appeared especially to require the consolation of one. The allowance to the keeper and his wife (the matron), who was well-disposed to the patients, was the same rations as the pauper patients, and 201.: they kept no servant ; on the first visit of the Commissioners the keeper was absent at work for some person in the neigh bourhood ; water only was allowed for drink ; culm and clay for firing ; chopped straw for beds ; bread made of barley meal and wheaten flour. On the second visit to the same asylum the Commissioners say that, although some symptoms of improvement were manifest, the place was wholly unfit for the treatment and care of the insane. Alluding to an asylum to which many pauper patients are sent from this county, the Commissioners say, " It is situated in a densely-crowded neighbourhood; the yards are dull and confined, and the internal accommodations are inconvenient and defective ; and it has no land what ever for employing its paupers." "At our first visit to another house," the Commis sioners say, "we found a gentleman residing as a boarder without certificate, whom we had known as a certified patient in one of the houses in the metropo litan district ; this person was evidently unfit to be at large. The owner stated that he had been in the habit of sometimes receiving low-spirited or desponding per sons as boarders. He also said that he had on several occasions permitted patients in his establishment to exe cute deeds affecting property, but that before doing so, he always satisfied himself that the act was proper. There are three different houses belenging to the same person, which are licensed, and also a cottage (since licensed) to which parties are sometimes removed." In a paragragh immediately following the above, the Com missioners say, "It is questionable whether a proprietor of a licensed house who receive boarders of this class, or who permits deeds to be executed by persons who are under confinement as patients, ought to be entrusted with a license." Instances are mentioned, referring to other places, where imbecile persons in asylums have signed deeds, the nature of which they did not understand. The report, we regret to state, does not contain a house which is spoken of by the Commissioners as a per feet example. Bedford is said to have been greatly im proved of late. The Commissioners frequently speak of houses in language of condemnation, as concerns their condition, as well as to the reprehensible, state of accom modation, and the cruel system of restraint which is practised in them, notwithstanding the services and so licitude which the county and borough magistrates have evinced under the several Acts to perform a very pain ful duty. The Commissioners speak of numerous es capes of lunatics, some of which have been attented by the most melancholy consequences ; in one instance the insane person murdered his wife and daughter in a vio lent paroxysm of epileptic mania, and in a most savage and horrid manner. It is recommended that asylums, which are generally shut on a Sunday, should be open to labourers, the relatives of the patients in particular, who cannot afford to visit them at the sacrifice of a sixth part of their week's wages. Among other suggestions of the Commissioners for the amendment of the laws, are the following:—That the number of patients in one asylum shall not exceed 250—that some provision be made, from time to time, for the removal of incurable paupers to a workhouse, to be exclusively appropriated to such a purpose—that every county and public asylum or hospital have a resi dent medical officer, and a visiting physician—that a full account of all receipts and disbursements, with the pro perty of every county asylum, the sources and amount of income, and the application of the same, be published annually. According to the last official return of lunatic paupers i n this county, there were 325, of which number, it is stated, there is accommodation for two only in a private asylum ; there therefore remains 323 uprovided for. Among the examples given in the report of the cost of land, buildings, furniture, &c., is that of Bedford, where there is accommodation for 90 male and 90 female paupers ; the total expenditure, including 9 acres of land, 20,5001. Average cost per head, 1141. Another example may be mentioned, where the number provided for approaches nearer to that required for this county, viz., Wakefield, in Yorkshire. It is thus de scribed : Laud.—ln addition to pleasure-garden and grounds, 40 acres are cultivated as farm and kitchen garden.
