The fourth annual report of the General Board of
Commissioners in Lunacy in Scotland has just been
published. The comusisaionera state that these ware
in public and district asylums in Scotland, on the let
January, 1861, 2,712 patients; 766 were supported by
private funds, and 1,946 by parochial rates. The
number of patients in private asylums or licensed houses
amounted to 907, being an increase of 55, in 1800; of
these patients 224 were supported by private funds,
and 683 by parochial rates. The insane in lunatic wards
of poor-houses amounted to 843, 'tieing a decrease of 23
during the year; of these patients all, with the exception
of two females, were maintained by their parishes.
The pauper lunatics placed as single patients amounted
to 1,787, being a decrease of 60 since the returns of the
Previous year. The total number of the insane in
Scotland on the let January, 1891, including the
private single patients, was 8,136, of whom' as shown
by a tabular stitement, 2,869 were supported by private
funds, and 5,257 by parochial rates. On the let January,
1860, the corresponding numbers were 2,858 and 5,226.
Thus, in 1860, there was an increase of 21 in the number
of private patients, and of 31 in that of paupers. The
commissioners, in their report, dwell at considerable
length on the statutory definition of lunacy, and the
inconveniences of which it is productive, which are
illustrated by the record of cases of insane patients in
asylums who do not appear to fall within such de6-
nitien ; also on the occasional difficulty of determining
whether a patient in an asylum is sane or Insane;
together with the heavy expense calmed to parishes by
the procedure in the case of dengerous lunatics. In
reference to cases of insanity caused by whisky drinking
the commissioners observe that "it is a question of
great practical importance whether the law should not
determine that patients who cannot resist the impulse
to indulge to excess in intoxicating liquors should be
treated as lunatics for a certain period after their
apparent restoration to sanity by compnlsory abste-
miousness." Daring the year ten pauper lunatics have
been removed from asylums, and sent to England or
Ireland, from having no settlement in Sootland. In
concluding their report the commissioners say: "We
consider it highly desirable that some cheap and
effective procedure should be adopted for scouring the
proper Care of the property of persors becoming insane,
especially where the means are small ;and we would
suggest that it should be the duty of some existing
public functionary to act as curator, whenever, from the
absence of relatives or other causes, the care of the
patient devolved on the inspector of poor." An
abstract of the retorts of expercliture on account of
pauper limatice in the different counties in Scotland
gives £92,547 13s. 2d. as the total annual expenditure,
of which sum the amount contributed by relatives was
nsosa,

Stephenson and his ten eemuanions, who have been
winning fresh laurels in Australia, arrived at Alexandria
with the overland passengers on Sunday, the 4th inst.,
and left the following day for Marseilles, which port
they were expected to reach on the 12th. They will
in all probability get to London by the 14th, in time

AXBRIDGE.—Fing. —At about nine o'clock on
Sunday night a fire broke out on the premises of Mr.
Hallam, chemist and druggist. The fire originated
amongst a quantity of waste raper behind the counter,
bat bow it become ignited is not positively known, the
supposition prevaleat being that Mr. Eallam's boy
must hay* 'naffed a candle, and thrown the burning
wick amongst the papers. Superintendent rillbanks
and a number of men were quickly on the spot, and by
the aid of buckets of water the fire was extinguished.
There was • large quantity of oils and inflammable
goods ía elle part of the premises, but the fire did not
reach it, or the consequences might have been most
disastroas. The stook and !cretinism we understand,
were insured in the Norwich Union Office.

Your obedient servant,
E. S. SHAVE.

Whitely:web, slay 5, 1862.

SIR, —ln your paper of last week there appeared
a letter signed "A Disciple of the Pump," and
purporting to come from a working man of
Whitchurch ; and as I am a working man, and the
president of the temperance society, I am looked
upon by some of your readers as the author of the
same ; but I beg to inform them that it was not I;
and although Icm do my work as well, and even
better without any intoxicating liquor, I am the last
man that would do so DlCall a thing AD to send
such a challenge, as I trust that I haven higher
motive for total abstinence. When I consider that
one-half of the insanity, and three.fourths of the
crime of our country are to be traced to drunkenness;
that thousands annually die the drunkard's death,
and descend still lower than the drunkard's grave ;
that thousands of church members are every year
cut off from christian fellowship for inebriety; that
every minister of the gospel has to complain of the
hinderance to his usefulness from this cause; and
when I look around and see the havoc strong drink
has made in our land, it is for this that I, (and I
believe it to be the duty of every professing christian.)
to do all that he can to put a stop to an evil which
sends more persons to the madhouses, the gaols, and
the gallows ; more bodies to the grave, and more
souls to perdition, than any other that can be mentioned.
But, apologising for trespassing so far on your
valuable space, I trust that the man that sent the
challenge, if he is from our society, or any other,
will at once come forward and give his name
and address, not for me to bear the burden of his
composition.—l remain, Mr. Editor, your humble
servant,

THE CROPS IN KENT.—The weather during the last
fortnight has been very favourable for the growing crops
and treat progress I.as been made in field-work. The
mowing of corn is now finished, and with the fine rain
we had on Thursday evening last, the late sown may
not be much behind the early in yield, the wireworm
having been very busy in some of the early pieces. The
appearance of the young wheats is generally good,
though some few districts have suffered much from the
Into wet, and the plant on the leys on some light soil is
hare through the worm. The Lent corn is upon the
the a-hole looking favourable and grows very fast. A
larger breadth of potatoes has been planted than usual
and, although, they were not got in the ground as soon
as usual, the seasons have been very good. Cherries
have buffered much from the late frosts, especially the
bigarreaus and redo, the crop of %Lich, in the neigh-
bourhood of Maidstone, will be small. The rest of the
fruit at present, promises well, yet it is full early to say
111110 about the apple crop. Swedes and wurzel have
held out well. keep is plentiful, and the season is cer-
tainly a very forward one.

WEYMOUTH TOWN COUNCIL.

A meeting of the Weymouth Town Council
was held on Wednesday, when there was a large
attendance of members. At the commencement of
the proceedings, some remarks were made in
reference to the landing stage in the Backwater, near
the railway station, which the Council had at the
previous meeting ordered should be taken down. It
appeared that permission was given for its erection
some ten years ago, for the purpose of landing the
rails for the railway, but that it had not been used,
as the rails were brought by the railway. It
appeared that some communication bad been re.
ceived from Mr. Herbert William@ reepecting it,
and 'Mr. Ditor said thee-Viet gentleman seemed to
think that the Council were acting antagonistically
towards his interests, on account of the misinfor-
mation he bad received—Mr., DISVENISH said be was
sure it was quite erroneous on the part of Mr.
Williams to think they were opposed to his interest,
for it was quite the reverse. They studied it in
every respect so far as was in their power.

frelant.

The Dublin correspondent of the Times tells us of •
starvation rase of extraordinary interest, worthy of the
special attention of the hon. member for Dungarvan,
which occurred recently in the appropriate locality of
Blarney. A woman was actually dying of destitution.
The doctor, who had studied her case anxiously, told
the relieving officer if he removed her to the work-
house she would certainly die, and two discerning
policemen fully agreed with the doctor as to the
imminent danger of the miserable patient. Had she got
out-door relief she might hare recovered, though very
slowly. Mr. O'Callaghan, the relieving officer, thus
reported the result to the Cork Board of Guardians :
"Sonic days ago two policemen came to me and told me
there was a woman in a dying state in Blarney on the
road-side. I went at once to the woman with the
policemen, and she was before me at the station, lying
opposite the fire, apparently in a dying state, with Dr.
Lee attending her. He told Me that if I removed her
'he wouhl die, as she was in such a bad state. I searched
to get lodgings for her, to give her outdoor relief, but
did not succeed, and I had to send her to the workhouse,
and though we had to put her into the butt with the
greatest care, and to get hay to lay her on, when she
came in here she jumped out of the butt as nimbly as •
greyhound, and walked into the lock-up ward, so that
she imposed on two constables, imposed on Dr. Lee,
and imposed on myself."

a Select Committee to inquire into the injurious effects
of noKious vapour in certain manufacturing processes,
showing, among other instances, that at the manufactur-
ing establishments at St. Helens, the muriatie acid gas
given off had a most 'injurious effect on surrounding
vegetation. He did not propose a harsh measure, but
thought an alteration in the present law was desirable.
Lord Granville thought Lord Derby bad made out a

THE COAL DUES.

Sie,—Will you permit me to ask, through the
tsedium of. your extensively circulated journal,
why the export dues or wharfage on coal supplied
to the Great Western steamers in Weymouth
harbour, are not collected? About 61 tons of coal
are weekly placed on board those steamers at the

THE EASTER VESTRY AT MARTOCK.

SIR.—In your impression of last week it appears
that you bare been led into an error in your report
of the vestry meeting. It is quite true that we had
a very numerous and influential meeting at our
vestry. But it is not true that the vicar has been
the cause of all the strife that has unhappily been
engendered in this pariah. In a great degree it has
been favoured by causes which he would, bad it been
in his power, have gladly avoided. lam happy to
tell you that the vicar and the "Squire" haveshaken
Lands, 'thereby throwing all bygones behind them,
and earnestly purpning, rash in tie respective pool.
tiOn, to work ah•-genseal interests of
this important ,—I am, Sir, yours, &c„

THE PUMP VERSUS JOHN DARLEYCORN.

Sin,-1 was surprised at a letter which appeared
in your last week's impression, and signed by "A
Disciple of the Pump." As a reference is given to
me, some of your ri sclera have thought that both
letters came from the same party, but I beg to in-
form them that it did not, and also that I know
nothing at all abut it, or from whom it originated ;
and to such "A Disciple" I would say that before
he gave a reference to me he ought to have consulted
with me, for if his challenge was accepted, I should
have to refer to him to fulfil his engagement. Of
course you know who sent it to you, but I would
advise him to conic forth from the shelter of his
"Pinup " like an honourable Englishman, and
oblige the public and us with his name, and not act
in such an unmanly manner, by leaving me to rest
upon my own resources..

THE WEYMOUTH BRIDGE.

The following lettere appeared in our contemporary,
the Telegram.

Ste,—Alderman Develifsh seems to be very loath to
give up the debt on the Weymouth iron bridge. At the
last meeting of the Town Council, when Alderman
Bower brought forward his excellent proposition for
paying of the debt cm the bridge in two years from the
present time, and setting the coal dues of In, 4d. per
ton free. Alderman Dovenish opposed it "Tooth 1,311
.NaiL" He wanta anew bridge in the plow of the present
"ugly structure," whereby he may be enabled to tax
every consumer of coal not patronising the Great
Western Railway, te the *meant of a penny a bushel
for all the coal they consume. But will the inhabitatita
._eanction seek a grow job to be perpetrate i mainly
for political purposes? The resent ihidge Act
will not 111 its present dupe permit
Mr. Alderman Devenish's wild-goose wheme
being carried out, and We inhabitant. ought to look
about them and emir/ themselves to oust the `Derenish
tool-chest" from the council chamber to prevent their
going to Parlislment for au Untended Act, to enable them
to impose eontinued burdens on the people. Where are
the Liberal party_ in Weyinoutli ? Why do they not
organise thernseWis in association to aasist you, sir, in
putting an end to the "masa of corruption" that at
recent exists is the corporation. Far yourself. the
manly and independent manner in which you have
hitherto conducted your admirable paper, you have
earned from hundreds of the Inhabitants of the tows
their sincere and earnest thanks. Trusting you will
continue to use your exertions to bring about a better
state of things in Weymouth, I am, Sir, yours &a.,

MURDER AT PORTLAND.

tin Monday hist faith dfld dolt ricild-blockled anti

convict named Alfred Preedy, 21 years of age, who
had been a drummer in the 84th Regiment, was
uader penal servitude at the Portland convict estab-
lishment for three years, tpr larceny. He had but
about three months longutto serve, and there is no
evidence that he had ever bad an altercation with
any of the warders. As will be seen, however,from
the evidence taken before F C. steggc, rect.; the
coroner lor the Island, on the following day,
while the cans and knives which the prisoners had
used at their dinners were being collected by the
warders and convicts, Preedy came out of his cell,
and in the presence of three other prisoners, delibe-
rately stabhed one of the warders named Charles
Evans, the master shoemaker in the establishment,
under the right ear, severing the jugular vein, the
carotid artery, and the great nerve of the neek,

THE CORN TRADE.

tionrfront America, and the sufficient harvest of our
neat and populous neighbour—lrrante—there is every
evidence that our teeming population will not be celled
upon to suffer from the soarodiy, the high price, or the
ill quality of its bread between the present period and
the eerresponding one of next year. At most of the

WEYMOUTH RACES.

The Weymouth races, which are not nnfrequently
the precursor of wet weather, came off on Thursday
and Friday last. The ling day was ushered in with
bright sunshine, and to the "know-nothings" on
this subject a gloriously fine day was predicted •
but the "weather-wise" folk shook their heads and
prognosticated rain, strongly urging the pleasure
Seekers to take with them their umbrellas and
paletdte. Fortunately, although the afternoon was
cloudy, the rain continued to "hold off" till long
after the day's programme had been gone through,
ind those who ireht only for the legitimate object
of enjoying the sport had tiaken their departure.
Under the direction of Mr. Hibbard! of Reading!

who had this year been engaged as clerk of the
course, the arrangements were on an improved
principle, and carried out more in accordance than
formerly with those of the more important racing
meetings in the kingdom. The refreshment booths
were erected behind the grand stand, quite out of
the way of the course, but sufficiently near for
everyone to obtain accommodation. The grand
stand was more commodious than heretofore, the
weighb,g arrangements, ko., were more complete,
and in front of the whole a veritable "ring' was
fenced off for the accommodation of the betting
fraternity,of whom several were present. The course
itself had also been much improved; being laid out
for a longer distance of straight ruining. A larger
number of visitors than usual, for the first day,
grimed the scene, and the running, upon the whole,
was considered Rood. The first and last races were
especially excellent ; the second would have been
better but for the accident which betel South
Australian and its rider, who was thrown with great
violence against one of the poles that marked the
course.

dinner to be given by Northumbrians to the Right Hon,

MR. HENLEY, —II P., ON AMERICAN AIM ITALIAN
ATTAINS—The annual dinner of the Btow-on-the-Wold
and Chipping Norton Agricultural Society took place
on Wednesday, at the White Hart Inn, Chipping
Norton, under the presidency of Mr. Henry Barnet.
Amongst the guests were the Right Hon. Mr. Henley,
M.E., Colonel North, M.P., and Colonel Fane M.P
R .
Mr. anieri, in restmoding to the tome, "The Member.
of the County," said there were few topics to which the
members cif the county could advert on occasions like
the preseat, with the exception of that unfortunate
distreas under which our fellow-country men in the north
were guttering and those topics were fortunately at a
distance from our shame. He could but heartily hope
that it would please God to enlighten those who were
bent upon cutting each other's throats, without any
good reason that be could understand for so doing, and
bring them to a better state of mind, so that peaceful
relations might be established, and we might receive
those supplies of which we were so greatly in need.
With regard to Italy there had been a kind of revolu-
tion going-on in that country, and • certain elms of
people were glad to kick down the ladder by which
they had climbed to eminence. In the history of the
world that always had the awn, and always would be.
Honest and sincere men went certain lengths, and
more long-headed men gained the advantage, and
having obtained that advantage the more honest
men were cast adrift, if they did not fare worse.
This was too much the character of the events that
were occurring in Italy at the present moment. All he
hoped what the honest men would fare better than
they seemed likely to do, and that the really good and
deserving men wonW obtain that advantage which they
merited, and whieb that unhappy country desired.
