The field for the Cesarewitch Stakes will be com-
posed of Lady Evelyn, Ariosto, Alonzo, Joe Millar,
Montague, Indian Warrior, Timid Fawn, Musician, Le
Juif, Weathergage, Lady Amyott, Marchioness, Knight
of the Garter, Knit; Charming, Conmore, Sharavoguc,
Phlegra, Merryman, Lindrick, Jullien, Mary Ann,
Babette, and Dollond. The foregoing are all reported
cer aln starters. The list may be increased by one or
two from the following batch of doubtful runnerst—
Black Docter, Kingston, Candlewick, Galvanism, Ling
Pepin, Des, La Gezza Ladra, Richard Primmer,,, Ter-
magant, and the once tremendous favourite, Lnight of
the Shire. The public this time seem to be upon the
right scent ; for, unless Phlegra wins, there is nothing
that can, apparently, beat the money horses ; of whom
there are no lass than six going to the post, to wit :
Lady Evelyn, Ariosto, Indian Warrior, Le Juif, Weather-
gage, and Lady Amy ott ; add to this lot, Phlegra, and,
so far as calculation and information will allow
one to arrive at a conclusion, the first three
places must be filled by hcrses taken from this batch.
Lady Evelyn has been doing her work regularly, and
goes free as air; her friends are very confident of win-
ning, and Butler, I understand, has the mount. Ariosto
enjoys the unlimited confidence of Messrs. Payne and
Greville and a select circle; and not without reason, as
he could not be fitter than he is. His weight, compa-
ratively to the other cracks, being favourable, and tooled
by that first• rate artiste, Nat, he must obtain a place at
the very least. Indian Warrior is a perfect picture as
far as condition is concerned. He has been supported
rather stiffly by his owner and immediate friends, but,
comparatively with the other cracks, is very badly in. Le
Juif 'a trial was of such a character as to make the race all
but a certainty for him; as, giving weight to Doubt, he
leftiher and two or three,others dead beat far away. His
party have invested their cash in a manner which
speaks conclusively of their opinion of the
trial. Weathergage's last trial was also of
a first-rate description; and determined Mr. Parr and his
party on supporting him strongly. Lady Amyott in her
trial also accomplished wonders, beating Candlewick,
Kiteflyer, and another by ever co many lengths. Now
as Kiteflyer's performance at Chester was undeniably a
first-rate one, his being defeated by Lady Amyott in the
trial proclaims her chance to be anything but a forlorn
one for the Cesarewitch. Phlegra shall be, what sport-
ing writers are very fond of calling their outside fancies,
"my cockboat." I have a notion that she will run very
well indeed; she is in good condition, and doing strong
work. My opinion with respect to the winner is the
same as given last week; that is, LE JUIF or ARIOSTO,
with a splendid race between the two ladies and Weather-
gage for the other places.—l am, Sir, So„

This is the title of a pamphlet lately issued in refer-
ence to the expulsion of students from New College, St.
John's-wood, on account of their theological opinions.
With the religious views of parties, we, as journalists,
have nothing to do, but it seems as if the commotions
upon religious subjects were only growing, and will
eventually, we trust, work out for good to society at
large. Truth has ever survived the struggles and
contentions of men, and will continue so to do. The
defence of the pure essence of religion is the noblest,
dearest standard under which to struggle, and it is a
saddening sight to see frail man dictating to his frail
brother as to the measure, form, and style of his
thoughts. The writings of our ancient philosophers
and thinkers must shuffle off whatever crudeness
they may be clothed in, and be re-clothed and re•
dressed with new growth and brighter utterance.
There are sectarians who, acting as autocrats, would
drag down and smother the thinking powers of a
man when he would endeavour to soar higher. The
aspirations of the spirit are not limited to space, form,
or shape. The soul of man is free, and he who uses
himself aright will think earnestly, yet humbly. We
are all aware of the number of doctrines and theories
which have been exploded and blown to the winds by
the honest thinking and deep research of men
to whom society is a debtor. It is with a desire to
further the cause of truth and progress that we would
advise our readers to peruse the pamphlet. It is
from the pen of a Mr. White, of Bedford, written in
a vigorous, homely, and manly style. It states the
expulsion of three students from the college referred
to, to be in consequence of their holding what are
there considered unorthodox opinions, but which
opinions were previously propounded and endorsed in
the Biblical Review a few years since by the very
men who have expelled them. It charges the officials
of the college with either acting falsely, or cancelling
the very opinions upon which perhaps some of them
attained the position they now occupy. There is
enough bigotry in the world without adding to it.
The expelled acted honestly, and we would even add
nobly in avowing at once their opinions. The quota-
tions from Milton, Shakspere, and Tennyson are in
every way apposite.

The lesson taught by the French Revolution of
1848 had been learnt, by anticipation, by Sir Robert
Peel. His party desired, like Louis Philippe, to
rule by mere marshalling and manoeuvring of Par-
liamentary majorities; and he, himself, bad disco-
vered that all the power of the Legislature was ut-
terly worthless unless endorsed with the imprimatur
of public opinion. It is true that, in the reign of
Queen Anne, and even of Castlereagh, the masses
had scarcely a political existence. They knew, in-
deed, little, if anything, of politics. Communication
was, physically, difficult. The right of public meet-
ing was practically ignored by the legal traps which
surrounded the exercise of the privilege. Corre-
sponding societies were indictable for treason—so that
the people were prevented from knowing and con-
ferring with each other. The press was virtually
under a censorship of the Attorney-General, who, by
ex-officio informations, could at any time turn the ar-
tillery of the law upon the most just, true, and neces-
sary exposures of Ministerial delinquency.
The population was less than half what
it is now ; and the same, or even a larger staff
of persons in the pay of the State in the army, navy,
customs, excise, church, law, and local magistracy,
constabulary, Vic.,overawed the neutral portion of
society in their respective neighbourhoods. Rotten
boroughs and pocket counties existed universally, and
a large military and militia force was kept perma-
nently afoot. But society has long outgrown these
influences. Catholic and dissenting emancipation, re-
form, and free trade, have made them all of very
small account. Dissent is too pawerful to afford any
play to the arrogant pretensions of the Church to as-
cendancv. The press is still in such a position that a
li
single ex officio information would hurl the Govern-
ment• which directed it at once into irrevocable dis-
grace. The patronage of the State is reduced to a
sum of sixteen millions per annum ; and all sinecures,
as well as many law abuses, are at an end. Even
13,000 established parsons are a eery small and unin-
fluential body among twenty-eight millions of people,
whose knowledge has been enlarged and wits sharp-
ened by cheap literature, railroads, and newspapers
of a description infinitely superior in intelligence,
ability, freedom of disquisition, size, and cheap-
ness, to what they were even at the beginning
of the century. The nation for overshadows the
state. The British race has burst the bands and
boundaries of its public institutions. The bulk of
the population so overreaches the influences of the
executive, that daily the power of Government by
great families becomes less by the increasing forces
of the popular momentum. The distribution of pa•
tronage in the hands of railway directors already
amounts to nearly one-half of that at the command
of the Queen's Ministers—and belt influence in the
House of Commons is not greatly inferior. We saw
the Anti-Corn-law League, an empire within an
empire, raising a large voluntary tax for the avowed
purpose of dictating laws to the Legislature—and more
lately we have witnessed the nkrchants of London
shaking the late Cabinet to its centre by an onslaught
on their management of the Board of Customs. It
is true that the traditional faethods of getting
and keeping power superficially appear to be
yet adequate to their purpose. The Church puts
forth still a kind of galvanic energy and epileptic
strength. Squires still arrange the representation of
counties, and Peers overawe the boroughs which lie
near their country seats. The plain non-political
,
public cannot be everlastingly pestered with party
interests ; and, when the people sleep, politicians go
to work. But whenever any great national question
demands a settlement, woe to the Minister who ex-
pects to dispose of it in the old "say of mere counting
of noses. Now, it was the error of the late Ministry
that, although they got into once by preaching this
doctrine, they utterly disbeliesod it in power. It is
true that Lord J. Russell, at Perth, once more un-
folded the old sound opinions on the philosophy of
government on the progressive theory, which first led
to the achievements of the reform party. Bat his
declarations only convince us that his colleagues were
opposed to and thwarted their leader—and that, for the
sake of the mere Parliamentary support which they
could bring him he committed the grave mistake of per-
mitting himself to remain in office with aset ofmen who
bad turned their backs upon their professions. When
they had given up the appropriation clause—resisted
any inroads on the Reform Act, added largely to the
public expenditure, and guarded profusion from re-
trenchment—paid their court to the clergy, and pro-
tected the delinquents of the Church from merited
retribution they showed that they were contented to
Jog on with the old system of counting of noses, and
hoping en a party division to have a " balance of in-
fluenza its their favour"—they had abandoned the
idea of resting their rule upon popular support, by
ceasing to propose anything worthy of popular
sympathies ; and rather than fall back upon the
nation by calling into their councils that Radical
party who represented public opinion, they threw up
their cards, and handed the odd trick over to the Tories.
We read Lord John Russell's statement at Perth as an
implied exposure of this Ministerial disunion, and
his exposition of the necessity of recognising and
obeying the democratic spirit as a declaration that he
never had any sympathy with the policy which was
dictated by his Cabinet. At all events he and his
party may rest perfectly assured that that policy and
its abettors will never receive any countenance from
the country again ; and that unless he proposes to do
homage to the advanced opinions of the Radical party,
his own reign has finally closed. The Tories tell us
that at last they have settled tine principle upon which
their Government is to be founded. Like Balsam's
ass, they have been cudgelled until they have found
a tongue, and mauled till they have begun to pro-
phesy. Mr. Henley's jaw-bonehas been on this occasion
chosen to smite the Phillistines of Reform ; but,judging
from the result ,the Samson who wielded it must
have had his eyes put out before commencing the ap-
plication of his weapon. Conservatism, if this latest
of its proclamations is to be credited, is to be just
what old Toryism was. It is to rule by material
forces, in contradistinction to moral and intelligent
influences. It is to be that which Louis XIV. or
Philippe relied upon, the mere brute powers of pa-
tronage, finesse, and state dependents. Its cry, like
that of the crazy Red Republican, is to be "No
nothing." It is to fight the battle of the constitution
in Registration Courts ; which means, by sheer dint
of attorneys, pettifogging in the list of voters, and
grubbing for objections to electors before the revising
barrister, it is to gain a Parliamentary majority,
not by general acceptance by the nation of the Tory
Government, but by quirks of registration law, and
sharp electioneering practice ; and then, being in a
condition to reckon on a numerical majority in the
Parliamentary divisions, it is to dispense with public
opinion altogether. Mr. Henley has no idea of recon-
ciling the House of Peers with the House of Com-
mons. No: his idea, and that, too, as a representa-
tive of the people, is, that the Commons must some-
how or other contrive to reconcile themselves to the
registration of the decrees of the House of Lords.
He gently hints that the Upper House will never
consent to an extension of any modification of organic
reform, by way of preparing the country for
party's determination never to use the remedy pointed_e
his
out by the constitution of creating new Peers.
announces, therefore, the first Derhyste principle
to be the inviolability and ascendancy of the
will of the House of Lords, because be draws
a portion of his support in the Commons from
that source. The second is resistance to every change
in the Church, or any reform of its abuses, because
the parson, clerk, sexton, and beadle, are an elec-
tioneering staff in every parish, and return so many
Members to the House. The third is the arrest of

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. RYLAND.)
WRIGHTWALMSEy.
The plaintiff in this action is a cab proprietor, and de-
fendant is a carman. The action was brought to recover
the sum of 201. for damage done to a cab and harness.
Prom the evidence adduced it appeared that in June,
1851, while plaintiff's cab was on Tower-hill, a car or
Waggon belonging to the defendant came in collision
W,.ith it, and did considerable damage. The witnesses
differed in opinion as to whether the accident occurred
through reckless and furious driving, or whether the de-
fendant's horse ran away. The descent of the hill was
!tilted to be very steep, and that if, from any cause, a
4 %Ile with a vehicle attached started, it would be difficult
to atop it.
, Plaintiff Laid that the vehicle had cost him SO guineas
twelve months before, and that it could not be repaired
tinder 251.
Defendant estimated the damage at 51., or it could
have
been repaired at the highest price for 121, It was
further urged that the plaintiff was driving the cab
tinder borrowed licence plates, and therefore could not
recover—the plates belonging to a person named Edwards.
The plaintiff denied this, and swore that
he paid

Thank the Gods ! justice has been speedy as well
as sure, and the latest profanity attempted against this
venerable temple of the drama has been expiated by
the untimely demise of Mr. Bolton's abortive auda-
city. So much for the enir, epeneur, but, alas for the
comptmy. Although it grieves, yet it by no means
surprises us to learn that not a hand on the establish-
ment got a shilling at the expiration of their week's
labour. How any of them suffered themselves to be
inveigled into the concern, in the face of such ante-
cedents as ought to have been sufficiently noto-
rious to the profession in all its branches down to su-
pers and all, is rather marvellous. Really the com-
mittee ought not to countenance the chousing of ac-
tors, the desecration of this noble theatre, and the
flagrant insult offered to the playgoing world, by in-
viting them to witness performances that ought to be
pelted off the boards of a barn, for the sake of pocket-
ing a paltry week's rent. They must have known
that the " manager" in this instance is a wight who
is possession of the ring of Gyges, so that when after
weary day rehearsals and night appearances his un-
fortunate dupes attend the treasury, and find "no
effects" as their consolatory greeting, they may far
more profitably employ themselves in hunting for a
needle in a bundle of hay, or studying to square the
circle, or chasing a pig with a soaped tail, than in
striving to catch hold of that which is as impalpable
as thin air. Now this sort of game must be put an
end to as an intolerable disgrace and nuisance, and a
scandalous and heartless cruelty ; and we warn all
such gentry as go dodging about vacant theatres in
London on the humbugging system, that we shall
keep a sharp look after their proceedings. Let them
and their countenancers look to it, and we feel assured
we shall not stand unassisted in this determination by
the contemporary press.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.
Anadaptation of a little Parisian piece, called Uric
IdeeFue, and which in the original was neither very
brilliant nor very intelligible, was produced on Sa-
turday evening. Mr. Buckstone's comic agility and
immense flow of drollery rendered tolerable an affair
possessing in itself neither humour, character, nor in-
telligible incident. The excellent actor who played
the droll lawyer's clerk in The Lady I Adore—as
how manyldroll lawyers' clerks has Mr. Buckstone
personated—managed to infuse life and spirit into the
inane production, and, by the quaint delivery of catch-
words and those odd turns of expression which Mr.
M. Morton knows so well how to write, as well as by
his blundering in a fashionable ball-room—whither he
the two or
is sent by a hoax, but where he contrives by pure mad-
vertance to rescue a couple of ladies from the clutches of
a Polish swindler, whom they believe to be a Mol-
davian count—combines to brighten up
three scenes of which the piece is compose
id. There
is a want of all coherence and interest n the plot,
which makes the position of the actor one of real dif-
ficulty, but the style in which Mr. Buckstone extri-
cated himself from the awkwardness, and kept the
attention and laughter of the house alternately on the
alert, was itself a work of art. His account of being
run away with by an old hunter and carried into the
midst of the hounds, and his droll embarrassment
when the servant takes away his hat in the ball room
—not, however, before a solemn promise is exacted
that he will faithfully return it—these two passages,
managed with all Mr. Buckstone's drollery, were pro-
bably the best of the piece. There was some applause
at the fall of the curtain.

ACCIDENT TO THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—A cor-
respondent mentions that the Lord Chancellor met with an
accident on Wednesday,, in the vicinity of his residence,
Boyle Farm, Surrey, which, although not attended with any
serious injury to the Noble and Learned Lord, was likely to
have proved of a very different character. His Lordship
was taking his accustomed airing on horseback, attended by
his groom, when it commenced raining, and on putting up
an umbrella the horse began to rear, and his Lordship was
thrown to the ground. Beyond receiving some rather se-
vere bruises, the Noble Lord was not otherwise hurt. He
returned to his residence at Boyle Farm, and has since re-
covered from the shock his system received from the fall.—

any further changes in the law—any reduction of the
Army and Navy—any extension of secular education
—because, by being the buttresses of abuses of every
kind, they secure the support of lawyers, parsons, the
universities, the officers of the united services, and the
Methodists. The fourth is the throwing a sop to the
farmers, the shipowners, the colonial planters, by
robbing the public for their benefit, because that will
secure the support of the squires, the mercantile
marine, and the colonies. Knowing that self-interest
is much more zealous and active than patriotism, and
that the great body of the people cannot feel
that concern in public affairs which is ex-
perienced by those whose private fortune and
pecuniary income directly depend upon the
management of State affairs, the Ministry, as repre-
sented by the manifesto of Mr. Henley, fall back on
the support of those who will be most active at elections,
and are prepared to devote time, money, and social
influence to the game of politics. Their rule is to
be regulated, not by the will of the nation, or the
rights of the great body of the people, but by securing
the help of institutions and class interests to over-
bear and out-vote public opinion, and the general in-
terests of the country. They are to be a Ministry
of resistance. They are to endeavour to obliterate
the whole history of England between the time of
Castlereagh and the year 1852. Their function is to
be that of a grand jury resolved on ignoring all bills
that are brought up to them from the people. In a
small way they will attempt a leisurely coup d'etat
in the shape of systematic reaction. They will fall
back to the old policy of outvoting the commonalty
of these realms by means of classes and bodies
whose selfish interests are directly opposed to those
of the nation at large. In short, they will rely upon
material forces to bear down and crush public opinion,
under the old stale pretext of " maintaining our vene-
rable institutions," cherishing " ships, colonies, and com-
merce"—" repairing the wooden walls of England"
—darning the union jack, and feeding the British
lion. That is the plain English of all these flourishes
—and we think that presumptuous fools who can
venture upon offering such an insult to the nation
merit no " fair trial" whatever. They are re-
actionists, and, therefore, revolutionists, who must be
abolished to prevent their crushing us by a conspi-
racy of State stipendiaries. We must close our ranks
at once—and vow that, whoever else may rule, such
mischievous old women certainly shall not. Nay, we
must go further. We think Lord John Russell was
a great deal too apologetical to the traditions of the
constitution at Perth. In professing his devotion to
the existing organization of the State, he professed his
object to be only to perpetuate by repairing it, by
changing its shape, so as to adapt it to the progress of
events. Substantially that proposition is totally futile
and unfounded. The loyalty of the people to Queen
Victoria is far greater than to George IV. ; but the
power of the Crown is practically much less. The
nobility, before the Reform Bill, especially at the be-
ginninglof the century, were greatly more influential
in society, and by the Constitution, than they are
now, when they have been outgrown by the mercan-
tile and manufacturing classes. The Church, before
the repeal of the Test and Catholic Disabilities Acts,
was far more influential than it is now, when it is
overshadowed by dissent. It is absurd to say that
the Constitution is the same; or, indeed, that it is
possible that a Constitution, or the organism of a
state, can remain unchanged when society progresses,
and the relative state of classes changes. The nation,
the public, the interests which have no recognition in
the economy of the State, are greatly more politically
powerful than those sectional denominations by whose
support public opinion was overruled ; and unless
Lord John Russell is prepared to recognize this great
fact, and to cease coquetting with a bloated and cor-
rupt Church, and to temporize with an aristocracy
which has not yet been taught its proper place, he is
not the man for this crisis, nor the leader for the
people.—Weekly Dispatch.

E YEN IN G, OCTOBER 11, 185 Q.

BETHLEHEM HOSPITAL.
The Committee of Bethlehem Hospital meets, it is
said, to-day. Bentham and Sydney Smith, men who
started from two different points of observation, and
who were guided in their investigations by principles
totally different, came nevertheless to the same con-
clusion as to the value of committees in general. They
both thought that as committees met to transact busi-
ness, the chance was that the transaction of the busi-
ness before the committee would fall solely into the
hands of the most practical man. Experience too often
comes in to bear testimony to the correctness of the
decision of both philosophers. Committees generally
serve as scapegoats for the sins of one or two practical
men. In the case of Bethlehem the small" committee
seems to have resolved itself into one man---the Trea-
surer, and his sins have been heavy enough.
But there are times when the matters brought be-
fore a committee are of such a nature that the slum-
bering responsibility of each member cannot fail to
be roused. His own personal feelings are excited, and
he refuses to put his conscience in the keeping of
another, and vindicates his own right to come to a
conclusion and to act upon it. The late exposures of
th 3 treatment experienced by lunatics in Bethlehem
Hospital are of a nature to warrant each person in a
committee appointed to watch over the management
of this institution to exercise his own individual judg-
ment. If the members do not feel this responsibility
and act upon it now, we can scarcely imagine that
they have paid, as they ought to have done, attention
to the extraordinary evidence brought before Lord
Shaftesbury, and published, from the secret report,
for the benefit of the whole country in the columns
of the Daily News. Nothing has been done to shake
the validity of this evidence, and we have therefore
the strongest right to expect that the committee to-
day will do their duty, and act upon information
which has been brought before them.
The committee will in the first place be struck
with the insufficiency of the medical staff, as testified
by the facts brought forward in the evidence to which
we have alluded. The evidence of the Treasurer, the
supreme officer of the establishment, will be sufficient
to prove this part of the case. "1 state to you in can-
dour," said this chief officer of the establishment
where all these cruelties have been perpetrated,
" with regard to the medical staff, that I have never

from the -first been satisfied that I had a sufficient
medical staff. 1 feel that one resident medical officer
is not sufficient for so large an institution. I ought
to have two resident ones, who should take the entire
control of the whole establishment, and it should never
under any circumstances be without one." There
are few persons who have read the evidence taken
before the Commissioners in Lunacy who will not
echo the wishes of the Treasurer (a reluctant witness,
be it observed) on this point.
The insufficiency of general supervision is the next
point that must come under the notice of the com-
mittee. It is utterly impossible—to take one solitary
case—that such scenes as were described in the
Daily 'Yews of Saturday could have taken place under
a system of government which included good super-
intendence. In that report we read that in one de-
partment of the hospital fifteen at least of the female
patients are stripped stark naked before they are put
to sleep on straw. Such a state of things could
never have grown up under a sufficient medical and
general supervision.
It is scarcely possible, after having read the evi-
dence published in our columns, and comparing it
with evidence of a similar nature respecting other
institutions, to avoid coming to the conclusion that
when establishments of this kind are not preserved
from possible mal-administration and corruption by
subjecting them to the direct influence of public
opinion, they must degenerate. We have had suffi-
cient proof of this assertion in the evidence brought
before both Houses on the occasion of a committee
being appointed to examine into the condition of pri-
vate mad-houses. These asylums, while they were
not subject to public supervision and control, were the
abodes not only of misery, but of crime. The
Legislature has now practically thrown them open to
public supervision, and the consequence has been, that
although there have been a few instances of mal-
treatment, the general conduct of these institutions
has been good. The public eye should be kept upon
Bethlehem, and the press should report the proceed-
ings of its managing committee.
Another point which will need the sedulous atten-
tion of the committee is the amount of restraint and
confinement to which the patients are subjected.
Nothing is so well established by the whole history of
lunatic asylums as the principle that mere restraint
does but little, whereas effective superintendence does
much. Ilanwell is a case in point. In that asylum
there is no painful restraint, but there is constant vigi-
lance. In other words, good keepers and not iron bars
are needed. The private asylums for paupers, might,
in this respect, give lessons to Bethlehem Hospital.
There is no point, however, more worthy of the at-
tention of the committee than the revision of the
medical staff of the hospital. Every one who is ac-
quainted with the working of the public medical in-
stitutions in London knows that, in many instances,
the medical names on the list of the officers give any-
thing but a true indication of the working force of
the establishment. It is considered right and proper
that each hospital shall have on its staff the names of
as many celebrities as possible, and a committee will
very frequently willingly dispense with the active
services of an eminent medical man if he will but
allow his name to figure on their list. It is notorious
that in some instances such persons have allowed their
names to be put down upon the sole condition that
they are never to be called upo❑ to act. This should
not be allowed. One of the first steps towards making
Bethlehem Hospital take its proper share in the
medical treatment of lunatic patients, is the require-
ment of actual duties from each member of the staff.
Let there be more doctors for work and less for
show. It may be impossible to get the great medical
authorities in cases of lunacy to give up a larger
portion of their private practice in order to attend to
a public asylum, but this difficulty may be met by
increasing the number of working medical men, and
leaving to the others the duty of actual superintend-
ence.

So much for the details which it will be the duty
of the committee to investigate to-day. In the mean
time it must be remembered that a no less important
duty devolves upon the City of London. The city
is the guardian of Bethlehem and its patients, and it
is incumbent surely upon all those who have so im-
portant a trust, to take care that none hut good and
fitting men should be chosen to fill important offices.
An appeal to Parliament must be made if the city
authorities are unequal to their duties.

We speak now only of suggestions that may be
acted upon to-day. It rests with the committee to
atone for past misdeeds or to prepare for future and
heavy condemnation. From the number of letters
which have reached us upon the subject we feel how
completely the general public sympathise with us in
the desire to obtain better treatment for the unhappy
patients confined in Bethlehem. One universal
feeling of surprise and disgust has been manifested
by those who now learn with startled horror how the
20,0001. a year is spent by the governors who rule
over the lunatics in St. George's fields. It is difficult
at first to believe such atrocities possible in a civilised
country in the middle of the nineteenth century—to
believe that the most pitiable of all human afflictions
should subject i's victims to still heavier pangs—that
those who have lost their reason and their liberty
should be further punished to gratify the diabolical
malice of the servants especially ;paid to watch over
their weakness, and to minister to their want'.
The cruelties in Bethlehem have been so abominable,
that it takes time to appreciate the full enormity of
these offences against afflicted humanity. A still
stronger feeling must inevitably succeed to that
already existing on the subject, unless the committee
take to-day such steps as will show a determination
to prevent the recurrence of these madhouse sins and
scandals in future.—Dady News.
