THE A THENXUM.

This elegant structure is now complete, and we under-
stand is opened this day to the subscribers. It is one of
the greatest ornaments to the metropolis, and the taste
displayed in the external character of the building and the
internal arrangements do the highest credit to the archi-
tect, and the committee who superintended the erection.
The library, saloons, &c. are very handsomely fitted up,
but some persons think a better effect would have been
produced if the paper, carpets, and curtains had not been
en uniformly 'crimson. The committee, amongst whom
are Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Lowther, the Bishop of Llau-
daff, Mr. Cruker, &c, &c. dined together at the Club-
house on Saturday.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 8, 1830.

Despatches from the Brazils, Paris, and
Brussels, were received at the Foreign Office

this mortiihg.

It is with great satisfaction we have learned
that the Budget will contain a proposition for
the reduction of the public expenditure to the
amount of 800,0001., and that the Army will
be the branch to which the reductions will espe-
cially apply. The Budget is to be brought for-
ward as early in the Session as possible.

All accounts that• have lately been received
from Prussia seem to agree that, under the en-
lightened though absolute Government of that
country, the people are gradually and silently
advancing to a degree of practical liberty little

different from that which would be derived from

a Constitution. The ten Provinces of the king-
dom have now their separate Provincial States,
which are convoked every two years, and the
several districts of the Provinces have also their
representative Councils. These Assemblies have
not indeed any active power of opposing or re-
sisting the measures of the Government, but are
nevertheless highly important, in so far as
by the discussions on political matters to
which they give rise, the free expression of
opinion is materially promoted. All Govern-
ments, says HUME, depend upon opinion, and
it is therefore obvious that the stronger the
voice of the - public becomes, the more difficult
will it be for the rulers to affect deafness to it.
In enslaved and ignorant nations, like Spain and
Portugal, there is no public voice beyond that
of a mob, stirred up by the machinations of
tyranny and priestcraft ; but when public debates
begin to take place frequently among a people
surpassed by none in Europe in point of their
morality and intelligence, we may pronounce
such an epoch as an indication of the rise of the
nation in the scale of internal happiness,'
as well as external power. Education in
Prussia is compulsory ; and so generally is
it spread that, according to BALI, the pro-
portion of young persons at school throughout
the kingdom, is to the population, as 1 to 7,
which is almost as large as can ever be possible,
inasmuch as a comparison of population tables
has fixed the rates of children between 5 and 15

years of age, to the rest of the inhabitants of a
country, to be as Ito 54. This surpasses even
Scotland and the Netherlands, where education is
remarkably diffuted ; and as an almost neces-
sary consequence the number of Journals cir-
culating in Prussia is very great, being in the
ratio of 1 to every 43,09() inhabitants, while

in France it is as 1 to 52,117, in
Austria as 1 to 376,471, and in Spain as 1
to 869,000 ; Great Britain being not suited to a
just comparison, our Journals being few in
number, with a larger circulation to each. We
allude to these facts, as proofs thatthe growth of
intelligence and civilization has an influence on
the progress of freedom, too powerful to be re-
tarded by any form of government.
Some discontent appears to have manifested

itself at various times within the last few years,
in the Grand Duchy of Posen, originally a part
of Poland, but ceded to Prussia in 1815, by the
treaty of Vienna. Its inhabitants, of the Scla-
vonian race, differed from their new fellow-citi-
zens, in manners and customs, in ancient feel-
ings and recollections, and for the most part in
religion, being of the Greek Church. Their
nationality was, however, little respected by the
Prussian Government, who filled all the public
offices with Germans, to the indignation of the
proud Poles. The dissatisfaction was much
increased, in consequence of the deprivation of
the district of Kroeben of its right of sending
representatives to the Provincial States, for hav-
ing re-elected as a member of those States one
JOSEPH KRZYZANOWSKI, a Pole, who had
taken part in the Russian conspiracy of 1826,
and who, after an imprisonment of two years
the prison of Thorn, was acquitted on his

trial for want of evidence. KRZYZANOWSKI
petitioned for a second trial, and was refused,
and the Provincial States taking part decidedly
with him, incurred the displeasure of the Govern-
ment, in very much the same manner as the Mid-
dlesex electors, who supported JOHN WILKES,
irritated the British Ministry of that day. The
KING has, however, lately seen the propriety Of
making some concessions to the national feeling
in order to restore, peace, and things are going
on, we understand, " as well as can be expected."
The position of the Duchy of Posen reminds us
forcibly of that of Belgium by its annexation to
Holland, and in some measure of that of Ire-
land, since the Union. In neither of these three
instances has full justice been done to the weaker
vessel, by the husband to whom she has been
married ; yet in all three oppression has been
unable to maintain its ground, and is now re-
ceding before the determination that has been
manifested to submit to being bullied no longer.

In consequence of several incorrect statements
having appeared in the Newspapers relative to
the death of Mr. THOMAS BUZBY at Cadiz,
we have been favoured with a sight of the follow-
ing letter, which we insert, and recommend our
Merchants who reside in Spain to be more
upon their guard, and well armed :

EXTRACT or A LITTER PROM MR. GEORGE PRESCOTT,

DATED JAW. 8, 1830.

" I am extremely sorry to inform you' of the gasucina-
tion of poor Buzby on Friday evening, the let of January,
between five and six o'clock.

" Mr. Thomas Buzhy had been repeatedly cautioned by
several Spanish Merchants to have the doors fastened, and
I also particularly desired him to do it the last time I was
at Cadiz, but unfortunately without effect, as two men
came in and met the gallego (porter) at the top of the
first landing ; they asked for the master, and he directed
them to the counting house, where Busby and the Spanish
clerk were finishing their post.
" One of the men immediately put a dagger to the
clerk's breast, who cried out for mercy, and who was so
much frightened that lie scarcely has recovered the use of
his senses yet. The other attacked Busby, who appears
to have made some resistance, and he no doubt was making
his way to the street, as he was found dead at the bottom
of the stairs, upon the porter coming in again, who hav-
ing been to fasten the outer door, and hearing a cry of
alarm up stairs repeated it in the street, and upon the
robbers rushing out, the gallego seized one of them, (who
provel to be the assassin) and the other having left his
hat in the struggle in the counting house, he was appre-
hended in less than half an hour, as also three other men,
(known bad characters) who were outside the door at the
time, and who had dined with the other two that day.
" Several other persons are implicated, our lighterman
and his head man are in custody upon suspicion of being
concerned, as it is concluded there s% as a regular plan laid
to ransack the house, and I conceive they must have learnt
that there was a considerable amount of cash in the chest,
the greater part of which was to be paid away the follow-
ing day for bills that we had taken. Although the roads
were neatly impassable from 40 d•&ys heavy rain, I suc-
ceeded in arriving here about half an hour before the
funeral left the house, to enable me to pay the last tribute
of respect to an old, true, and faithful servant. Special
permission was obtained for him to be buried within the
Fort, and the body was conveyed to the place of interment
by the boat of his Majesty's frigate Dartmouth, and
followed to the grave by all the Englishmen in Cadiz, as
also several Spanish merchants, who could all bear testi-
mony to the honourable and upright character of the de-
ceased. The hurial service was read by the British Con-
sul (John Brackenbury, Esq.) and who has acted in the
most kind and handsome manner possible throughout this
unfortunate affair, as also the authorities of the city. The
Governor says that the whole gang shall suffer immediately,
but-I fear it will be some time before the assassin even is
brought to condign punishment."
We understand that Mr. BUZBY had been
in one of the foreign establishments of Messrs.
BA nnows and PRESCOTT'S, of Manchester,
for 14 years, as senior clerk, and was on the
point of returning to England. He was a re-
markably quiet, inoffensive person.
In another letter we have seen, dated Cadiz,
12th, giving an account of the execution of ten
pirates on the 11th and 12th January, it is re-
marked that when the last man was turned off,
there was a general cry for the murderers of the
Englishman to be brought forward to suffer the
same fate. This circumstance shews the feeling
that exists relative to the recent murder of Mr.
BuznY, and which has caused much more sen-
sation than could have been expected, particularly
as he was a foreigner.

On Wednesday last the LORD CHANCELLOR
directed Mr. ACRES (the party we formerly
mentioned as having been shut up in a Lunatic
receptacle at Hoxton) to. be discharged, de-
claring " there was no pretence for detain-
ing him." Dr. BRIGHT certified, as Dr.
M,MicuitEr, had done before, that the man
was " in full possession of all his faculties !"
Thus the public will observe that a man "
in
the full possession of all his faculties," by the
contrivance and collusion of friends and Mad
Doctors, may be incarcerated in a mad house,
and there can be little doubt that many others
would be liberated in like manner, if able to
bring their cases before a Court of Justice.
The Speech from the Throne on Thursday
last affords great expectation that many important
alterations will shortly be made in the law and

its administration ; and we know of no case that
more imperatively claims the attention of the
Public, the Legislature, and the Government,
than the laws relating to Lunatics. The time has
now come ►wen (to use the language of the
Edinburgh Reviewer, who wrote in 1817 on the
same melancholy subject) the Legislature must
determine " whether a large proportion of those
" unfortunate persons—comprehending indivi-
" duals of almost every rank in society—should
" he restored to the condition of human beings,
" or left to languish under sufferings that have
" no parallel but in the atrocities of a slave ship,
"or the dungeons of the Inquisition. stripes,
" fetters, cold, darkness, solitude—the absence
" of every bodily comfort and mental enjoyment,
" have bee❑ too long the established discipline
" of receptacles for the insane," which unhappy
class of persons, as the same writer observes, are
the victims of this complicated misery, " not
" incidentally for hours, days, or weeks, but
" in general for the whole years of their wretched
" existence ! !"

The system must be altered to afford any-
thing like protection and security to the public
against this dreadful abuse, since, however great
may be the individual respectability of the exist-

;IT Lunacy Commission, recent events have
established, beyond the possibility of doubt, that
that Commission has not the power within itself
to afford efficient protection to the sane or the
insane, which object can never be attained, until
provision shall be made by law for enabling the
case of every individual to be brought before a
competent tribunal and Jury.
As a considerable portion of the public may
imagine that persons confined in Lunatic hos-
pitals and receptacles are confined for the pur-
poses of CURE, it may be right to acquaint
them with the medical and moral treatment to
which persons so confined are subjected, as proved
before the Parliamentary Committees of Inquiry.
The medical treatment of Lunatic patients in
the OLD Bethlehem Hospital appears to have
been confined to a PERIODICAL bleeding,
purging, and bathing, without any particular dis-
crimination as to the state of health, bodily or
mental, of the patients. It appears from the
Minutes of Evidence that the physician, Dr.
MuNno attended the Committee every Satur-
day ! but only went round the Hospital when a
case was reported to him ;—in all other instances
the matter was left to Mr. HASLAM the apothe-
Ivry. JoIIN BLACKBURN (a keeper) stated,

"that Dr. MUNRO was sometimes a month with-
out going round the Hospital and inspecting
the patients, and that Mr. HAsLAM used to
go round the gallery sometimes twice, sometimes
three times, a week—not more than four times !
Mr. HA%LAM resided at Islington, and it was
stated by one of the witnesses (JAMES Sim-
morns, a keeper) that " the nurse used to
" make the medicine and physic in the morn-
" ing, and the keepers used to give it to the
" patients sometimes ;"—and again, " two off
" the nurses used to go round with a little cup,
" and they used to give it at the discretion of
" the keepers and the nurses."
So much fbr the medical treatment of patients
in Old Bethlehem Hospital !
Dr. WEIR stated, that the naval patients at
MiLEs's, at Hoxton, received no medical treat-
ment whatever; and that some of them had been
there fourteen years, to whom a single grain
of medicine had never been administered for the
cure of their insanity ! !
Dr. FOw LER, who visited a receptacle kept
by one SPENCER, at Fonthill, after explaining
that the cells, in which the unhappy Lunatics
were confined, were so offensive as nearly to
prevent further inspection,—that it made him
extremely sick, though accustomed all his life to
the dissecting room,—and that the Clerk of the
Peace who was with him vomited extremely,
says, " one patient was so bad that they told
"me they did not expect him to live.--I
" thought it my duty to tell them, if this man
" dies, I shall do all I can to convict you 9f
" murder.'" When asked by the Committee
for a description of the state in which he found
this man, he stated, that " he was confined in
one of the oblong troughs chained down,"—
that he had evidently not been in the air for
some time, as when he made them bring him
into the air, he ceuld not bear the light, and
was like an Albino, blinking!

On a former occasion we adverted to a Mad
Doctor who attended WARBURTON'S recep-
tacle at Bethnal-green, devoting one hour and
a half to about 500 patients, being about the
fifth part of a minute to each !
_

Such are some of the facts taken hastily and
at random from the minutes of evidence given
before the Parliamentary Committees, which
abound with facts of a similar description, show-
ing either that Mad Doctors do not consider
medical treatment of any importance to insane
patients, or displaying the most culpable and
unfeeling neglect of their professional duties.
Having thus briefly adverted to the MEDICAL
treatment of the insane in Lunatic:receptacles, we
shall take an early opportunity of explaining to
the public the MORAL treatment to which these
unhappy persons have been subjected.

The melancholy fate of Lord GRAVES can-
not fail to awaken the most painful sensations in
the public mind. These sensations must deepen
into horror and indignation, if there be
any truth in the reports current for some days
in the highest circles. We trust, for the sake of
humanity, that the cause assigned for the de-
plorable event may prove unfounded—and yet
our recollections forbid the hope that aught hut
evil can emanate from a source so polluted and
demoniacal.

Eternal Justice ! can thy vengeance sleep?

LAW INTELLIGENC6.-(THIS DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.

THE TEMPLER AND THE JEWESS....,IOHANNING V. HAWES.

Mr. Marschner, of Leipsic, composed an Opera en-
titled The Templar and the Jewess, and by an instrument
of transfer assigned the copyright of it to Mr. Hofmeister,
reserving to himself the copyright in the scores for thea-
trical representation. Mr. Hofmeister entered into a ne-
guciation with Messrs. Johanning and \l'hatmore for the
transfer of his interest fur the sum of 851. ; at the same
time -Mr. Marschner transferred the copyright to Mr.
Hawes for a valuable consideration. It appeared to the
Lord Charierllor, in giving judgment this morning, that
Messrs. Johanning and Whatmore had obtained a clear
title to publish the Opera in Great Britain, but in answer
to the plaintiff's case, brought forward to set aside the in-
junction he had obtained, the defendant swore distinctly in
his answer that the plaintiff's right to publish extended
only to the kingdom of Saxony, according to the German
law ; and that as the instrument upon which the question
turned was to be construed according to the law of the
country in which it was made, the Court was hound to
dissolve the injunction. But on adverting to the letters
that had passed between the parties, there seemed to be so
much doubt as to whether the law had been correctly stated
in the answer or not, that his Lordship felt it right to
order an account to be kept, that an action might be
brought.
The Soucrroa-GgwrnAt, on the part of the plaintiff,
obtained leave to amend his bill, and give notice of a mo-
tion for Friday for a renewed injunction.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
CRIMINAL INFORINLATION-BURTON ALE.

Mr. C.tikrruELL moved fur a rule to show cause why a
criminal information should not be filed against Messrs
Baldwin and Cradock,: the respectable booksellers and
publishers of Paternoster-row for a libel in a work pub-
lished by them entitled " The Art of Brewing." The
Learned Counsel said he made this application on behalf ofa
very respectable body of men, who did not complain of
being libelled in their individual character, but as a body.
this clients were the Burton ale brewers.—(A laugh.

Their Lordships would recollect a similar application to
the present was made some years since on behalf of !..e

SUICIDE OF THE itIMIT HON. THOMAS
NORTH, LORD GRAVES.

CORONER'S INQUEST—(THIS DAY.) •
At eleven o'clock this morning an inquisition was take,
before J. H. Gent., Esq.. and a highly respectable Al'.
at the Masons' Arms, Maddux-street, Hanover-square, aria
view of the body of the Right Hon. Thomas North, Let.
Graves, aged 54, who destroyed himself by cutting hi:
throat with a razor in the following dreadful manner, /
his lodgings. No. 15, Hamover-street.
The inquiry was conducted with the utmost secrecy;
and the following was the substance of the evidence. The
body of the Noble Lord presented a most frightful sree".
tack, his head being nearly severed from his body :-- I
John Sprey stated that he had been travelling Itervan,
to his Lordship for nearly four years ; he was not Ale
that he had been afflicted with any bodily complaint th
the last six months; about a year ago he was laid up 'w'
rheumatic fever. Last Saturday his Lordship, I"-,

office on business, and returned about four o'clock'
After this he dined in Belgrave-square, at Sir Gen't.

o'clock in the morning : he had usually done se for 801
time past, on account of his Lordship being quitel
cripple from the rheumatism, although he has of 14'„
been fast recovering. It was his Lordship's wish that bt
sat up with him until he fell asleep, as he did not like t°l
be left alone; he could not tell the reason why. Yei;,
terday morning he went into his Lordship's room nb°°,
eight o'clock, and found him asleep ; he went in ega ,
d;
sson after ten o'clock, and found him dressing.
breakfasted about twelve o'clock, and soon after Sir Jan:
Anderson came in, who attended his Lordship. Wie°"'
went out to get some medicine ordered, and returned be;

which he had told him to send to Lady Graves, at HOT;
ton Court. The parcel was given to him. It contettif;
a letter from his Lordship to her, and be took it to PI
Coach-office in Piccadilly. Witness returned, and put 0°
his Lordship's things to dress, as he was going to dine at 01
Marquis of Anglesea's. Witness was told toorder a coach et'

and on his return, after cleaning his Lordship's Ithgre

assistance soon arrived, but his Lordship was quite dead.

that he cut his threat while labouring under depression °'

what was the cause that rredured the depression of spirit!
Sir James Andersen stated, that he had attended 11
Lordship professionally. It was his opinion, that

both from bodily disease and mental excitement, and i°

MELANCHOLY EVENT IN HIGH LIFE'

It is with extreme sorrow that we announce the delltb a
of a very amiable Nobleman, Lord who, ill
fit of delirium last night, put a period to his existence:o
his house, in the neighbourhood of Hanover-square.
Lordship had for some days, we understand, suffered g
distress of mind on account of a recent occurrence, 01
only
delicate nature, in his family, and to which we eau 001/:
thus slightly allude.
His Lordship throughout the day had been very deer'„
ing, and during the afternoon, after reading one oft.
Newspapers of the day, retired to his dressing-room, a 7,1
with a razor inflicted a deep wound in his throat. l'_a"
Lordship was discovered lying on his back, with the blue'
running in streams from the wound, but life was not erd
tinct. Medical assistanee was immediately sent for;
in a very few minutes three gentleman were in attendance'
but the jugular having been divided, and also the trachea;
surgical skill was unavailing, and before six o'clock ht
Lnitlship was a corpse. Information of the distressing
.s;
currence was sent to the various members of his Lordshill,
family, and also to the Castle at Windsor. His MajegY
feelings, we are sure, would be extremely wounded els
hearing the painful intelligence.---Morning Chronicle.
We last week adverted to a very prevalent rumour, that,
the lady of a noble Lord holding a high situation in w".
Royal Household, had been guilty of some iudiscretio°
with an Illustrious Personage who has been lately a fr
"
quent attendant on the Court. We also observed, that t"
discovery of these indiscretions had been attended with cif:
cutnstances which rendered it exceedingly probable that
the parties would, in the usual manner, be brought bef're
the public by the proceedings of a court of law. We now,
learn, however, that there is a probability of the difierence,e
being arranged in a manner more satisfactory to the farm'
lies of those interested ; and as it is said the daughters
the lady are to remain under her guardianship, it is IA
fair to presume that the noble father mast have been satin
feed that there was nothing criminal in the conduct of the
mother. We give the following paragraph en the subjeco
from the Court Journal, a paper which assumes to be'
acquainted with such subjects We rejoice to hear 01'1
the domestic differences between an officer of the Rota
a
Household and his lady are satisfactorily adjusted ;
persuaded that Lord G— is too honourable a man
commit the charge of his daughters to one who could 10
prove herself worthy the distinction. We are gratified bl
the result of
.this delicate affair, which is understood 10,
have been the ems° of such uneasiness to an IllustricP
Personage."— Observer.

MOST MELANCLIOIY_ACCIDENT-NlO

PERSONS KILLED.

We have this week the painful task of recording all
event attend with a greater destruction of human life tbaa
any which has come ender our provincial notice for
several years. About nine o'clock in the morning °
Wednesday last the engine boiler at United Hills Mine'
in the parish of St. Agnes, burst with a tremendous el°
plosion. It appears that nine men a boy, and a girl, werE
in the boiler-house at the time, and one man itt the engine
house. Of these, nine were so dreadfully injured by the
concussion of the steam, scolding water, and blows frogs
the stone and bricks which were scattered in every dire' I
tion, that they died within a few hours after the accident'
