This morning:Mae isene4, the eleventh report of
ilre Cidannisiosere on the Flatlets, whioh we .1111140131 :
" We, the commiationers appointed by your Majdtty for the
purpose of inquiring whether advantage might not be taken
of the rebuilding of your Majesty's pelsoe at Westminster
—wherein yoariblajasty'e parliament is wont to assemble—
for the purpose el promoting and encouraging the flee arta
In your Majesty's United Kingdom, and to what manner
an object of se Much importance might be most effectually
promoted, bag leave to report to your Majesty the progress
of the works recommended by us to be undertakes. In the
House of Limb, the series of eighteen metal statues of
barons sad prelates—representing the principal personages
who sinned Magas Charta—has been completed; amen
of such seem having been added since we submitted our
Mat report, bearing date the Bth of July, 1854.
Al St. Stephen's Hall stands on the spot where the House
of Commas was, during many centuries, in the habit of
assembling, we were, from the first, of opinion that it
should be adorned with statues of men who rose to eminence
by the eloquence and abilities which they displayed in that
house. Twelve personages, selected on this principle, were
accordingly named in our fourth report, dated the 25th of
April, 1846—Belden, Hampden, Lord Falkland, Lord
Clarendon, Lord Sentare, Sir Robert Walpole, Lord
Chatham, Lord Mansfield, Burka Fox, Pitt, and Grattan.
The marble shams of those personages have now bees
completed; the statue of Seddon by John Henry Foley,
8.A.; that of Hampden by the same artist; that
of Lord Falkland by Mr. John Bell; that of Lord Clarendon
by William Calder Marshall, LA.; that of Lord Somers
by the same artist ; that of Sir Robert Walpole by Mr.
John Bell; that of Lord Chatham by Patrick Mg:towel;
R.A.; that of Lord Mansfield by Edward Hodges Bally,
R.A.; that of Barks by- Mr. William Theed; that of Fox
by Edward Hodges Belly, B.A. ; that ef Pitt by Patrick
111L.Dowall, LA.; sod that of Granite by Mr. John Edward
Crew. The above worts are plated in St. Stephen's Hall,
when we have been pleased to observe that they hare ap-
posereo to form objects of great interest and attraction to the
public. In our lag report we proposed to commission
Darrel Manias, R.A., to paint a subject in fresco
is the apartment called the Painted Comber or Con-
/ammo, Hall ; but SOON difficulties having been found
to Mist with regard to the lighting of some oon-
partoinots in that locality, the work was postponed, and the
solid any at his own request, finally released front such
saderteklag. A grant of public money, amounting to 1,6001.,
which had been voted by *clement for this object, area,
with the enaisat of the Lords Commissioners of your Ma-
jesty's Tertiary, appropriated to the painting of twaoty-
eight whole length portraits of personages connected with
the Tudor family, to be placed in the apartment called the
Prinoetchamber, as proposed in the appendix to our seventh
report. Of such portraits, executed by or nadir the direc-
tion of Mr. Richard Birchen, fifteen have now been ems-
pistol. Being taken from authentic sources, and executed
in methods fitted to reproduce the style of the origins! works,
they at once serve a decorative purpose, and constitute trust-
worthy resemblances of the historical personages represented.
In our ninth report we had proposed that twelve com-
partments in the same room should be filed with metal
meta from models of bas-reliefs, to be provided by a oompe-
tent sculptor. The subjects proposed—elating to events
corresponding with the periods of oar history to which
the before-named portraits belong are enumerated in
the appendix to our seventh report. The preparation of the
models referred to wag ultimately committed to Mr. William
Theed. Eleven models, the design and execution of which
are highly approved by us, have been completed by him ac-
cordingly; and ten of such models, can In metal by Mere.
Elkington, Mason, and Compcoy, of Birmingham, bare been
fixed in their places in the Farm's-chamber. Referring t..)

PRESS FROM PA:

PARIS, TIIIIISDAT B,wico.

It is a curious fact that Count de Persigny's
important speech, long telegraphic summaries of
which appear in the Word and Itsdepeadartee of
Eruseels, is not so much as mentioned by any
Paris morning journal. The only evening paper
which allude, to it is the Courrier de Paris, and
that quotes the first part only in which there is
nothing about the English alliance, and it does not,
say whether it intends to publish the remainder to
It is impoodble to suppose that all the
Parisian journals could have simultaneously over-
looked the Memorial de la Loire, in which
this speech occupied four conspicuous columns ;of
large print, and was announoed by the editor

as one destined to make an immense sensation both
in France and Europe. The inference therefore is
almost irresistible that the journals must either
have been warned that the speech must not be cir-
culated for the present, or that the instinct of self-
preservation told them that there was in it matter
dangerous to be published without the unction of
authority. There is no doubt a patronising tone
about the speech, a sort of ego et rex new air which,
if not previously authorised, may well produce some
astonishment in the highest quarter. M. de Per-
'ivy evidently stands forward as one of the prin-
cipal founders of the Empire, and certain passages
of his discourse are open to the con-
struction that he thinks his counsels have
not always been attended to so much as
they ought to have been. Important as his
speech is, if we suppose it to have been composed in
consultation with the Emperor, it is infinitely more
so if it proceeds entirely from his own initiative.
On the Bret hypothesis, we have only to admire the
unusual perepicuity and eloquence with which a
courtier expounds the already declared policy of his
master, but in the second we are irresistibly led to
conjecture that this old and faithful councillor of
the Emperor must fear that his Majesty is in danger
of being led by other counsels to follow a policy
different from that which he so emphatically recom-
mends.

A secondary observation to be made upon the
speech, bat one necessary to prevent misconception
of the working of the French constitution, is that it
was delivered coram non judiee. It was expressly
laid down when the Councils General were estab-
lished upon their present footing that they are not
political bodies. They have only a right to express
wishes relating to the special wants of their own
departments, and any record of their proceedings
concerning general politics is liable to be quashed.
It is tree that in practice this rule is relaxed in
favour of individuals supposed to beak. in the sun-
shine of the court. But it must not be thought that
in France any member of a Council General can
go and make a speech about internal politico just u
a member of the English parliament talks to his
constituents.

The prolonged silence of the Paris journals with
regard to the bombardment of Jeddah, has led to

the inference that the government most be brood-
ing over the matter, and has not yet given its organs
a key note. It often happens in parallel cases that
the result of imperial cogitation first peeps out in a
corner of some obscure provincial journal which
would certainly never venture to express any
opinions of its own upon an important political
question. Revelations in such unlooked for quarters
are more than usually frequent at this time of the
year, when ministers, councillors of state, presidents
of councils general, and other high functionaries, are
scattered about the departments taking their vaca-
tion. At Bayonne at the present moment there must
be confidential servants of the Emperor making pre-
parations for his reeeption at Biarritz, and from some
' of them, if not from the prefect, who is, I believe, a
special favourite, has doubtless emanated the follow-
ing paragraph in tht Messager de Bayonne, from
which I think it safe to infer that the French go-
vernment has determined not to take umbrage at
the energetic use made by Captain Pullen of the
Cyclops' cannon :

Has M. Salotier yet left Fromm ? We will not venture to
say that ha h••• and we should not be surprised to learn
that the bombardment of Jeddah having necessitated some
modification in his instructions, the departure of oar extra-
ordinary oomminsioner had bean delayed for two or three
days. Apropos of this subject. a Brussels journal
laments bitterly that the Cyclops should have acted
without waiting for the arrival of the French forces, and sees
lathe haste of the English a 000firmation of its doubts as to
tbu,dnoerity and solidity of the alliance. We do not think
that these regrets are shared by the French government, or
that the Incident is regarded in this light in our politica
circles. The news of the bombardment of Jeddah was imbed
for here from one moment to another, for the English govern-
ment lost no time in informing tie ally that the Cyclops had
received orders to act with promptitude and severity, and the
French government could not possibly disapprove • resolu-
tion the object of which was to obtain an instalment of
satideetion. What has just passed at Jeddah is net an sot
contrary to the anianos, but one of the first ads
of the Olathe. The entire eo-eperatlon of Femme
is to seem and that co-operation trill be secant-
plished *sly ant deliberstely, as soon as M. Emmet

and the manonade of the ()rive, followed by the hanging

TIM LUNACY COMMISSION ON
XI. BOWL

7ITPS DAY.
:The inquiry in this case was resumed at 10 o'clock
this morning.
Mr. Wainwright, on being recalled and re examined by
the commissioner, stated that it was in the middle of July
that he went down to Wales to make the inquiries of which
he had spoken In his evidence, and he communicated the
result at the latter end of July to Mr. Ruck. It was on the
28th otilay that Mr. Ruck gave him instmtions to go to
Wale,. Beery time he taw Mr. Rack between that time and
the middle of July he pressed him to make an investigation;
sad the moment be had communicated the result to him the
delosioas aimed to have vanished. _

Mr. Serjeant Petaredorff then summed up the case for Mr.
Ruck. He said, at the close of the evidence foe the defame,
that his own inclination was to rest the case of his client on
the concurreet testimony of the eight eminent medical men
who were examined on the previous day, to the effect that
Mr. Rock was now perfectly sane and fit to discharge the
ordinary duties of life ; but custom required that he should
avail himself of the privilege of addressing the jury. He
then commented on the " cam" book of Dr. Stillwell, which,
he mid, evinced great carelessness on the part of that gen-
tleman. It contained a groundless statement that Mr. Rack
was subject to hereditary insanity. The next statement was
equally unfounded—namely, that Mr. Rock had been guilty
of great violence; and further it was untruly alleged that
ha had locked up his wife's cousin and attempted to shoot
her. Had there been the smallest particle of truth in these
allegations evidence in support of them would of course have
been adduced. The sole explanation of these misrepresenta-
dons was that the cause of these delusion was, in fact, in-
temperance, and that insanity arising from that source wee
generally curable in a few weeks. Mr. Rack showed through-
out • degree of self-control which, under the circumstances,
was quite remarkable. The moment his wife had any doubts
as to his sanity, she ought to have emended his own re-
latives. Instead of that she had recourse to a country
apothecary, and on his authority, and that of Dr. Couolly,
sent him to a lunatic asylum. When he had entered the
asylum nothing whatever was done to remove his &liaises.
Rim only companion when he was out walking was that
coarse, vulgar, arrogant sort of man who was examined on
the previous day, and who spoke almost In a patronising
way of having taken him to see his aunt. As regarded Mr.
Rack's statement, that his coejugal life was not a happy one,
he contended that it was perfidy rational and perfectly
oocsleteut with undisputed facts. In conclusion, he called
upon the jury to declare that Mr. Rack had been for a long
period improperly detained at Moororoft, and that be ought
to be immediately restored to the exercise of freedom.
Mr. M. Chambers then replied on the whole case on be-
half of the petitioner, Mrs. Ruck. He said both the learned
counsel who had addressed the jury on the other aide had
almost entirely abstained from entering into the facts of the
ease, on which the decision of the jury meat rest, and had
presented to them topic* which could not, and ought not to
guide their judgment. He (Mr. Chambers) concurred in
the remarks which had appeared in the newspapers, end In
which the necessity was insisted upon of throwing a pro-
per protection over penes charged with insanity. B.
perfectly agreed that a man ought not to be deprived of bis
liberty for any mere enentrioity. But if there was any nee
troverey between the system of private asylums and that of
placing lunatics separately under the care of medical men, be
had only to say that the Commissioners of Lunacy had
reported unfavourably against the theory supported by Dr.
Johnson and other gentlemen. It was quite a mistake on
the pert of his learned friend, therefore, to my that the oom-
miesioners bad attacked private asylums; what they
really censured was that very system of single patients,
which had been advocated by the medical whimsies on the
other side. As for Dr. Stillwell and Moorcroft Asylum, he
considered that a more excellent young man, or a better
!ZOOM of the kind, could not have been introduced to Use no-
tios of the jury, end the more the establishment was inquired
Into the greater would be the admiration it would excite. A
great portion of the speeches of his learned friends had m-
imed to matters that were utterly irrelevant to the inquiry;
bat it was a well-known rule of oratory when you had got •
week cause to endeavour to realised Mom who had to
decide, and induce them to travel abroad from the
nal point at issue. The discussion in the public
tonne's bad been carried on sometimes* with ability and
moderation, and sometimes with a great deal of nominee ;
but he would take his leave of this part of the subject, nag
of nurse, abusing the public journals, for he knew the conse-
quences to public men if he took such • course. (A laugh.)
Me denied that there bad been anything in the treatment of
Mr. Rock that in the slightest degree savant:odd unkindness
or unnecessary restraint. An attempt had been made to
show that Dr. Stillwell had not subjected his patient to any
medical treatment. His learned friend had asked that " rat-
tling chap," who had been the favourite boy of his uncle,
and who now lived upon his aunt—(laughter)--whether Mr.

Mr. Ruck had ever had any medidne f The witness 'said
ha had bad nothing but an emetic, wbicb bad been put into
his ten, but which another pnikonsa got by mistake. Theme
waa a great laugh at that, bat was it fair f Why hied Ms
learned friends not crow-examined by. Stillwell himself on

the subject? In point of fat they had not tasked the
dolor a single question about it The whole cam on
the other *Me rafted upon personal Mimes. Per
instance, Mr. Thurston, who was perhaps as vespeobible
• witness as bad ever oome forward, bad been rudely stigma-
deed—ln feet it Mr. Ruck Mil not imam his language the
other day to Mr. Thurston would have been wholly anima-
tillable. Another witness had been called Mr gamiest Ur to
Warne. The course which had been taken with regard to Mn.
Buck had been meet unfair. The jury had seen the way in
which that poor lady had given her evidenos. She had told
them that her busked's conduct bad been most stsellemete
towards her, end they had not cress-ezamined bra en that
point; but at the but moment his learned friends had endea-
voured to throw doubts upon her statemen‘ for the pumas
of supporting Mr. Ruck's warmest that he bed besamehappy
with her. He contended that there was not the dieltern
ground for impugning her conduct in reference to the
tranamtiona which had been brought into this inquiry. He ani-
madverted upon the comae whiob had been pursued with re.
geed to the eminent men who had been ammited is this mat
Mr. Wainwright bad tutored, or at halt lustros*, Mr.

The foreman to the prosecutors said that yesterday after-
noon he saw the prisoner, who was waiting at the warehouse
door far some fruit, go up to a Cabe which was full
of pears, take one out, and rat it in his pocket.
The pear, which was a very large one, owing to the cheap-

few weeks hence it might be worth ed., and it was by
no means as uncommon case for a pear to be worth Is.
From time to time numerous robberies were oommitted at the

protect themselves for the future, the prosecutors had
caused the prisoner to be given into custody.

had a quarrel abet some pine apple' that he had to deliver
to me two months ago, and he has tried to serve me out ever
since. As to this case, what he says is quite false, for I
picked the pear off the floor, and never went near • case of
fruit at all.
Witmer —My lord, I maw him take the pear out of the case,
and, as a proof of this fact I may mention that the pears are
arranged in Wars, with shaft of paper between each, sad
whenever one is taken out therefore it must be missed directly
if the oar is uncovered.
Prisoner—l say I picked up the pear from the floor.
Lord Mayor—But he swears that you took it from the
Prisoner—Verr well then, I'll swear that I did not.
Lord Mayor—No, no, we cannot allow you to swear.
Prisoner—But I will.
And seizing up a testament that laid within his reach,
he solemnly swore to the truth of his denial.
The prosecutor, however, still adhered to Ms statement,
and threatened to produce evidence of a similar robbery com-
mitted by the prisoner • few days previously, upon which
the latter admitted that be did take the pear from the °us,
as thy withess had stated, adding that the pears belonged to
• person for whom he worked, and who permitted him to
take a pear or so when he was thirsty.
The Lord Mayor seat him to hard labour fur seven days.

written in French, and purporting to own. from Mr.
Sala, of Turin, • merchant with whom the prosecutors
had business transactions. The writing so much
reseritiled that of Mr. Sala that witness had
no &Olt of if, being genuine. He showed it to the prose-
cutort by whose direction tritium decirod the prisoner to call
agaid the next day. The letter in question requested the
firm to pay the bearer 201. to their account. The prisoner
called, as appointed, and the more y was paid to him ; but ha

A commercial traveller proved that the prisoner was for-
merly a Meek in Mr. Sala's employ, but had been dismissed.
Mr. Henry KM It would be neceseary for Mr. Sala to at-
tend, and therefore remanded the case for • weak.
