COMMISSION OF LUNACY.
Yesterday, a comatiedea de lunette° was speed at the
Cadogan Hotel, filcum-strest, Chelsea, before Mr. Ooph-
dour Winslow and a special jury, to inquire into themtate
of mind of Mr. William Leo, of No. 17, Chatham street, •
gentleman of lane indemmieat popery.
The eoutatimioa was iaseleated at the instance of three
married sisters of the lasatk.
It appeared that the nature of his delegate, though ex-
tremely peculiar, were perfectly Wears, at lam as far as
when were concerned. Ile &maid that nothing that he
saw or Weed was real. All his friends were changed, and
though' he was quick in dhtinguishkg the yoke, Is could
not recognise the appearance of his nearest relatives. lie
thought also that his food was poisond, and that every
person was savaged in • soospirasy against him. Ano-
ther of his peculiarities was that, though &either a sordid
nor a poor man, he could jnot be pomaded to put with
say money for the payment of his 'grunts or any amounts
whatever. From Jane, 1849, until May oldie promat year,
his aflairs had been =maimed and his debts discharged by Mrs.
Coalthard, ores of his sisters. la May last, however, it was
thought desirable to leave him to modest his own affairs,
and from that period to the present be bad never paid a
single bill nor drawn a single cheque, although he had •
lap balsam la the heads of Mesas. Covets, his bankers.
Previous to any WitalllNll being examined the jury ex-
pressed a desire that the supposed lunatic should be present,
sad as Mr. Les happened to be driving past at the moment,
his carriage was stopped and he was iavited upstairs. He
dialed the reality of the jury however, sad refused to enter
the TOM.
The jury, after hearing the evidence, found that William
Los was ot unsound alai! and incapable of conducting his
own affairs aid that he had been so slam the 18th of June,
1849.

SPAIN.

The Spanish Chamber of Deputies held a sitting
on the Ist. tieverel bills of local interest were pre-
sented by the government. The Chamber then
elected a provisional bureau : M. Louis Mayene was
chosen president by 148 votes; M. Gonzalez Romero,
Count de Vistahermoss, M. Vehy, and M. Zaragoza,
vice-presidents. The Chamber afterwards nominated
committees to examine the electoral returns. All
these committees consist of ministerialists. The
Chamber, it was believed, would be definitively con-
stituted in less than a fortnight. The Epoca notices
that no mention is made in the speech from the
throne of the tariff question, and assumes that the
cabinet does not intend to present any measure of
importance on the matter this session. The Mont.-
molinist journal, the Esperama, was seized on the 31st
ult., by order of the political chief. It was rumoured
that the Portuguese government had solicited the
good Aces of Spain in the questions pending between
it and England; several conferences on the subject
had taken place between the Minister of Foreign
Affairs and the English Ambassador. The Princes,
Clementine, daughter of Lonis-Philippe, was ex-
pected at Seville on the 4th or bth on a visit to the
Duke and Duchess de Montpensier. In consequence
of the Ist being All Saints' Day, the Stock Exchcnge
at Madrid was not open.

From Hesse Ouse/ we learn that the Prussian
troops which occupied Fulda were despatched by ,
Oegeral Groeben from Cued as soon as it became
known that the Bavarians had entered the Electorate.
Fulda was occupied by a Prussian hussar squadron a
few minutes before the appearance of a Bavarian
force, which, seeing the grotand occupied, retired.
The debt' guard of Hansa has given op all its arms.
Bat notwithstanding the state of siege declared, and
oatmeal by Count Rmhbeeg, a new stamp tax has
been declared illegal by the civil tribunal of that town.
It seems that the Elector bee shown hie annoyance
at the entrance of the Premien' into Hesse by break-
ing off all relations with the Prussian envoy accre•
died to him, and he has also recalled the Hessian
envoy at Berlin. All this is very upheld, but not
dangerous.
Letters from Munich, of the 2nd, state that the
South Bavarian railway has been ordered to cease
running trains, in order to ?militias the rapid trans-
portation of 20,000 Austrian troops coming from the
Lake of Constance to Bamberg. An Austrian brigade,
under General Legeditach, was to pass through Aug..
bug on the 3rd. It had been
.quartered previously
in the Vorarlberg, from whence its advance took place
by forced marches. The marching orders were dated
Vienna, the 30th of October, at four in the afternoon,
and were received the same evening by telegraph at
Bregeng. The movement of troops commenced on
the 31st. This date proves that the Emperor signed
the seder immediately on his return from Warsaw.
A Prussian corps is being formed in Nassau, troops
from Baden having already presed through Frankfort
on the 4th inst., for that purpose.
Priam von Thurn and Taxis has taken up his head-
quarters in the defiles of Gelnhausen, a moat im-
portant position.
A telegraphic despatch from Leipsic, of the sth
instant, is to the effect that the Suon government had
withdrawn its orders for calling in the soldiers on
leave, and stopped all military preparations generelly.

CLERKENWELL.

TEE ertntnern NUISANCE —Several drovers, some of
them mere bole, were charged, at the instance of the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with ex•
active cruelty to bullock+, sic
It appeared th►t numerous complaints had been made to
the above society of the gross cruslty of drovers toward:
oxen, &e., in SesitLfielel and its vicinity, in °Gnat quince of
whCa Moss and other officers were instructed to keep
watch after them, which they did ; and in mo•ty instances
they saw the most horrid cruelty exercised, etp:cially by
boys, who seemed to exult in torturing the poor animal
by belabouring them un the hocks with their sticks, and
pricking them with eharp.pointed nails at the end of them.
Mr. Thomas, the Secretary to the Society, said that every
effort was made on the pert of the society to check this
species of offence, by apprehending and bringing to justice
such offenders, and, in numerous instances, they had been
fined or imprisof.ed. In reference to the boys, they were
employed by licensed drovers, who kept duplicates of their
Manses, and served them with badges. He was sure that
the Curt of Aldermen would never sanction boys having
badges, sled he felt satisfied yip n ones it was made known
they would rectify the evil, and prevent many acts of
cruelty.
The defendants in this case were fined in various sums,
and in default of paymt at, comm.nsurate terms of im•
prisonment.

la the Legislative Assembly yesterday, after the
rejection of M. Grevy's amendment, proposing to have
the Avignon Railway executed by the state, another
amendment was presented by M. Darblay, of a
less absolute character, and expressive of the views
of that part of the Assembly, who, though opposed
to the execution of the whole line as far as Avignon
by the state, still are not desirous of seeing the con-
cessions granted at once. M. Darblay, in consequence,
proposes that a credit of 10 millions be granted to
the state to complete the works as far is Chalons. At
the request of the reporter, the matter was sent to
the committee ter cxsmioation.
A council of ministers was held yesterday at the

NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE.

The adjourned meeting of the shareholders in this
company was held at Newcastle on Tuesday. It will be
remembered that at the last meeting, held on the 28th alt.,
for the purpose of enabling the directon to declare a divi-
dend, they were unable to comply with the terms of the
advertisement, in consrquence of Mr. Hudson haling failed
to ctomplete his contract with the company as lessee of the
line. The absence of Mr. Allport, Mr. Hudson's 'raffle
manager, was then stated to be the cause of the non-com-
pletion of the negotiatioas between the directors and Mr.
Hudson, and the meeting was accordingly adjourned to
Tuesday, in the hops that a final settlement would then be
come to. The meeting was numerously attended; K. Name-
mu, Bp., chairman of the board of directors, in the
chair. The chairman said that the directors expected to
have been atior to declare a dividend on this occesloo, but ia
ooesequence of their aot yet having come to a settlement
with Mr. Hudson, they were again disappointed, and *gain
under the necessity of adjourning the meeting. Mr. Hudson
had made scam prcpositioa which they could not possibly
entertain, but they hoped to be able at their next meeting to
declare, if not all, at least a part of the dividend; indeed,
whatever might occur, it was their determination to declare
• dividend. A special general meeting was to be held on the
lit of May for the purpose of gaihing the approval of the
shareholders to a bill now before parliament to enable the
company to miss aiditional capital to the amount of 160,000 i.
in shares, and 60,00 W. on loan, and also to reduce the num-
ber of their directors ; to this meeting he proposed to adjourn
their present proceedings, and he trusted the chreetors
would then be prepared to declare • proper dividend.

TIER ROYAL MI T.

We understand that the Deputy Master of the Mint
has tendered his resignation, and that it has been
willingly accepted by the Treasury, that functionary
being found the grtatest obstacle to the ref erm of that
establishment. Captain lisiorEss, stcretary to the
Railway CmDmission, has been appliated to succeed
him.

11'e are al-o informed that notices are in prepara-
tion at the Treasury to termina'e the contracts of the
moneyers and melter, the government being deter-
mined to carry out the reeommtndationa of the com-
missioners, as to the substitution of fixed salaries for
rates in these departments.
This consummation has, in some measure, been has-
tened by the notorious fact of these parties receiving
from year to year enormous sums of public money,
while at the same time they have thrown all their
duties on subordinates and apprentices. The officials
of the Mint, who are supposed to have a c3ntrel
over these parties, have attemr ted all thr)ugh the in-
quiry to conceal the fact of habitual nm-attendance ;
but now it has been tlicited that often during the
greatest pressure of business—as the recoinage of
light gold—th 3 melter and some of the moneyers
were found absent front their poets, atd that with
the full cognizance of the governing powers. Nor
were sufficient precautions taken on such occasions, to
guard against loss and waste ; the paucity of hands,
and consequent defective supervision, rendering due
care and vigilance almost impassible.
The strict inquiry to be instituted by Captain
HARNESS —a man very well chosen for this new ap-
pointment—will prove what we are well informed of,
that there are officers in the Mint who have for years
enjoyed such lucrative sinecures, by the delegation of
their duties to others, that they are as practically ig-
norant as when first appointed. These, no doubt,
will be pensioned off, and their places supplied by
more active and useful men. The whole establish-
ment must be thoroughly sifted and purged before it
can be put on an efficient footing; and on the right
exercise of patronage will greatly depend what the
public look for—a better and more economical ma-
nagement of that important bat expensive establish-
ment.

PROTEST OF THE BISHOP.

The Bishop of Gibraltar has addressed to the Governor
the lohoiriog protest *pion these artielt a::

PROTIST.

" We, the undersigned, iieuree by Divise permission,
Bishop of Gibraltar, toeinfr, by virtue of our office, and by
the authority of her Majesty's letters patent, invested
with the power of exercising episcopal jariediction according
to the eceleaisstieal laws of England in all pl tees belonging
to the &nick of England, within the island of Malta, and
being ordinarily resident within the said island, have cons'
doled it to be oar duty to examine those articles of the pro-
posed code of criminal laws for the said i.land, which are en.
titled ' Concerning Offences against the Respect due to Reli-
gion,' as amended by the council of government,
and having found that it is therein proposed to
make the church of Rome the dominant church
is Malta; to declare it to be exclusively the catholic
chunk ; to elms the church of England and other
religious bodies other Majesty's subjects asdissentients from
the church of Rome, as it at present exists in the said
island ; and to enact heavier penalties for offences against
the Roman catholic worship than for offences ageism others;
Weston we, the bishop aforesaid, do hereby protest in the
strongest manner against the adoption of the said articles,
for the following reasons
" 1. Because whatever may be the privileges 'rented to
the Maltese, the supremacy of the English crown tarries with
it of aireerity the supremacy of the religion of the Queen
sad of the people of England, and establishes it by the law
of the land in every colony and dependency of the empire,
Melts Included. .

2. Recluse this proceeding of the msktrity of the
council in attempting to make the church of Rome
dominant la Malta, and to declare the religion of the
said church to be esclosively ,the catholic religion, is
an attack upon the supremacy of the crown and the fun-
damental laws of the empire, and an invasion of the rights
and privileges of the catholic and apostolic church of Eng-
land,

" 3. Bemuse the attempt to class the church of England
sad other bodies of her Majesty's subjects together as being
merely dissenters, or disseinients from the church of Wm,
as it at protest deist in Malta, is an insult is the religion of
the Queen and of the people of England.
" 4. Because the enactment of greater penalties for of.
fences against the Roman catholic worship than for offences
against the worship of other Christian churches, u a viola.
tins of the principle of equal protection for all daises of her
Majesty's subjects, and of the rights and liberties of English-
men. _ _

r"6. Becaoss neither the clergy nor the people of the
Church of England in Malta have give■ the least occasion
for any such proceedings, they having been careful on all
occasions to avoid giving offence to their Mal tee fellow-
subjects is all things connected with their religion.

HANOVER.

The communication of the Hanoverian ministry
made to the chambers on the Bth inst., notifying the
di solution of all relations between the government
end the Erfurt federal state and its tribunal runs
thus: " The relations of Hanover to the league formed
on the 26th of May, 1849, for the maintenance of the
exterior and anterior security of Germany, and the in-
dependence and indestructibility of the individual
states, have made it the unavoidable duty of
the government to outsider itself released from
Its responsibility to the tribunal constituted by the
6th article in the treaty constituting the said
league. The government is hereby induced to
withdraw the proposals and declarations made with
reference to that tribunal, and contained in the letter
addressed to the Antes of Hanover on the 16th of
December, 1849, concerning the wider development
of contemplated institutions, u well as upon the con-
stitution of the said court.—(Signed) BENNINGSENt
Bruve, Paon, BRAUN. Lanrait, Duitmu."
The following notice appeared at the same time :
"As the relations of the kingdom of Hanover to the
bond formed with the Kings of Prussia and Saxony
oa the 26th of May, 1849, and to the tribunal
eeknowledtged by us on the 19th of September, 1849,
have determined, we now decline to give effect to the
requisitions of the aforesaid tribunal.—(Signed)
Bxexistisce."
