°exec of the lower classes, witnessed the embarkation with

returned from London, has brought the ratification of the
' convention between Hanover and Prussia, respecting va-
rious reciprocal claims. It is reported that by this con-
vention the kingdom of Hanover will obtain an additional
Population of several thousand souls.

BOESEN HALLE, MAY 2S, HALF-PAST Form, P.M.—
The supplies of wheat from the interior have not been
tery considerable during the week, and as the demand fur
exportation continued tolerably good, and our own con-
sumers also purchased largely, the market was pretty well
cleared of grain of prime quality.
We bad some arrivals from the Lower Elbe, but these,
°Wing to their inferior quality, were not very saleable.—
For Rye, prices continue firm, with every appearance of
farther improvement. Seve. al holders have even raised
their demands, but without having hitherto been able to
obtain them. Of Rapeseed there is at present nothing in
the market, so that prices can only be considered nominal.
Number of lasts imported het week :—Wheat, 929 ;
Rye, 83 ; Barley, 11 ; Oats, 96 ; Malt, 24 ; Pease, 2 ;
Beans, 10 ; Rapeseed, 6.
From the 15th to the 21st (inclusive) 105 cargoes of
corn passed through the Sound. Of these 59 were bound
for British, 27 for Dutch, and nine for Swedish, Danish,
and Norwegian ports: five were bound for Bremen, three
for Embden, and of the remaining two the destination was
unknown.

. Funds have again declined in consequence of the unfit-
. vourable appearance of the Frankfort and Berlin exchanges.
The liquidation for the end of May is expected to go
. off quietly.
Although the French Rentes were to-day at 80f. 50c.
still the market is firmer than yesterday, and some dispo-
sition to buy tnan feats itself. Being a Jewish holiday
there is however but little business doing. There is at
Present no great quantity of stock in the market, and
money is abundant, at 4i per cent.

We have Malta Gazettes to the 6th May,
which contain the speech of the Lord High
Commissioner of the United States of the lonian
Islands to the Legislative Assembly. His Ex-
cellency congratulates the Assembly upon the
internal tranquillity prevailing, notwithstanding
the severe Pressure of want felt over almost all
the Islands during the last winter and spr;ng.
A great diminution of crime is said to have taken
place in the Islands, which is attributed to the

measures originated in the second Parliament.
His Excellency adds that it still remained to
carry into effect a permanent and precise code
of laws, and that considerable progress had been
made in preparing such ; but he doubted whether
it would be sufficiently forward to be laid before
the Assembly during the present Session.
During the recess measures had been taken for
carrying into effect the Bill establishing the
system of public education. Eighty-three ad-
ditional schools of mutual instruction had
been established, containing two thousand
seven hundred boys. His Excellency re-
grets the prolonged continuation of the vacancy
of the Archiepiscopal Sees of Corfu and Zante,
and states his intention of bringing some defi-
nitive arrangement, regarding the Dignitaries of

the Roman Catholic Church, before the Assem-
bly. He further mentions that his MAJESTY
having concerted measures for the pacification of
Greece, the neutrality hitherto observed by the
lonian Government would soon be put an end to
by the termination of the cause. His Excel-
lency states the revenue to be more favourable
than might have been expected under the
circumstances of the lait:year, from the depre-
ciation of the prices of oil and the other staple
commodity of the States. The expenditure of
1829 had been considerably reduced from that of
the preceding year.
In order to facilitate commerce, his Excellency
recommends a Bill to the consideration of the
Assembly, for extending to the other islands the
system of Port Franco, under certain modifi-
cations. Upon the whole, the tenour of the
speech is very satisfactory.

We yesterday inserted a Letter from Dr.
PAUL SLADE KNIGHT on the present state of
the insane. If we agree with our Correspondent
on some points, we differ as widely from him
on others. We cordially agree with Dr. KNIGHT
when he says, that the situation of the lunatic
" demands the immediate attention of the Legis-
" lature, that provisions may be made, not only
" for the greater security of the subject reputed
" to be insane, but also to relieve the Physician

from the onerous and very objectionable au-
" thority of signing certificates of lunacy." We
apprehend no state of the law can be more
faulty than that which leaves the unhappy
lunatic exposed, without any efficient controul,
to the frightful abuses committed by those who, as
a trade, keep houses to receive the lunatic
or the sane, under the pretext of curing insanity,
and at the same time leaves the sane subjects of
his MAJESTY, in this boasted land of law and
liberty, exposed to be legally incarcerated in a
mad-house when any two Mad Doctors, or other
unprincipled medical practitioners, can be pre-
vailed upon to sign certificates. We deny,
however, that lunatics are in any worse situa-
tion than " a few months since ;" on the con-
trary, we hare the satisfaction to believe that
their situation is materially bettered, owing to
the parties who hold charge of them not daring
to practice the same enormities since the pub-
lic attention has been called to the subject ; and
we further deny that any respectable medical
practitioner is deterred from paying " occa.
" sional visits to the lunatic,when the Physician's
" authority may be in any wise necessary to sane-
" tion restraint," though we can easily conceive
that men who wish to be considered either as
" talented" or " respectable" may be deterred
from entering upon what it seems is termed by
Mad Doctors " their line of practice,"—that is
to set up as Mad Doctors—and we can as
easily conceive, that since the disgraceful ex-
posures have taken place of the conduct of that
class of persons, that " THE TRADE" may have
fallen off, and

liine ilke lachrymw ;

but it ought to fall off, and we trust and believe,
in spite of all that can be written in medical
publications, or of resolutions passed in medical
societies, (where many of the members may be
interested in the present system) that the race
of trading Mad Doctors and receptacle keepers,
on the present principle, will shortly be extin-
guished, and common sense and public feeling
no longer outraged by so gross a violation of both.
Dr. KNIGHT says, "knowing as I do that he
" who is familiarized by actual practice to the
" treatment of the varieties and shades of disease,
" as manifested in the sane part of mankind, is
then only qualified to enter on the study and
" varieties of shades and disease as deve-
" loped in the insane." If this be true we
verily believe no Mad Doctor was ever yet quali-
fied " to enter on the study and varieties of
shades and disease as developed in the in-
" sane,"—for no Physician who was even ordi-
narily respected by the public as a general prac-
titioner, ever degraded himself or his profession
by setting up the trade of a Mad Doctor. Mad
Doctors are a class of persons who, not being
sufficiently respected to obtain any general prac-
tice, and therefore having had little opportunity
to become " familiarized in the treatment, and
" varieties, and shades of disease mini-
" fested in the sane part of mankind," set
up that trade in which they have hitherto
been too successful in making effrontery and
presumption pass for skill and science ; but
after the display this class of persons have
made of their talents and conduct, whenever ex-
posed to public observation, and while the pe-
riodical blood-letting, bathing, and physicking,
without reference to the age, constitution, or
state of disease of the several patients ;—medicine
being mixed up in a bowl, and dealt out with
a cup, and administered to patients without
distinction, at the discretion of mere keepers—
the long intervals between visits, and general
inattention to patients, hundreds having been
visited in a space of time that allowed only the
fifth of a minute to each, on the average ;—while
these things stand on record, proved against, and
admitted by Mad Doctors, it is little short of
insulting to speak of the medical treatment of
lunatics, or the medical science of Mad. Doctors.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK

LIVERPOOL, MAY 29.—The import of cotton this week
is 15,679 bags, and the silos are 15,480, at a decline of
d. per cent. in American, and at scarcely last week's
rates for other descriptions. The transactions in British
Plantation Sugar this week are 680 WIN. at rather lower
prices; in foreign nothing has been done. The sales of
Coffee are 100 casks of Plantation to the grocers at irre-

gular prices.
The following is the reply of the Governor of Calton
to the Spanish merchants, who petitioned for some all,-
viation of the duties :

Try to contemplate the Celestial Empire, her abundant
harvests, and her mountains of wealth ; her national
treasury full to overflowing. What dependence can
she have on the petty merchandise of all you bar-
barian nations to supply her with revenue? These
foreigners after all should not have been befooled to
this degree. It is now manifestly divulged by the ap-
pearance of circumstances, that they have been tossed and
played with as in a bieve by some traitorous merchant.
I do proclaim to you, foreign merchants, these things, and
tell you that you ought to rouse yourselves and examine
with awe. D• not again permit yourselves to be befooled
by others. I, the Governor, am resolved instantly to
report to Imperial Majesty the exact facts, and take both
the traitorous Chinese and foreign merchants, and prose-
cute them together, and punish them with severity; take
care and do not bring yourselves into crime and trouble ;
remember this."

It, the month of February last, the Republic of Cen-
tral America was in utter anarchy, the State of
Porto Rico had declared itself entirely independent,
the union of the five States, Guatemala, El Sal-
vador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Porto Rico were
to be dissolved, and a mere confederation substituted.
Great feirs were entertained that Spain would take ad.
vantage of the weakness of the States, and operate with
some effect against Mexico.
