A Gentleman recently arrived is London from Limerick tt.
happy to bear testimony to the friendly disposition' of the
habitants of that part of our Sister Kingdom towards the_mth.
tary force which has been stationed there for a considerabie
time past 4 as also to the high state of discipline and chara&er
of the latter. The following lines from the Limerick Chronicle
confirm the truth thereof:—
" The first division of the 2fith Regiment, or Cameronians,
arrived here this day from Trace, to occupy the quarters .of
the 19th Regiment. . .

" The 19th Regiment having received the route for Butt!.-
vant; on Saturday, the first division, three companies unckr
Alajcrr Lixx, marched hence this morning, the second division
goes to-morrow, under Captain Doan's. and the grand dive,
sion nn Friday morning, under Colonel Ilmsr.
_

" Previous to the departure, the 19th were on Monday in-
spected in the-Square of the
.New Barracks, by General Sir
ell ARLES Do YLE, and went through a variety of movements,
to the perfect satisfaction of that distinguished Officer, who is
sued the following Order immediately after:—
" Brigade Major's (Vim, tinteriek, Aug. 2, 1825.
" Major-Gen. Sir C. DoYr.E cannot allow the 19th Regiment •
to leave the South Western District, without his assurance that
he sincerely regrets to part with it ; the steady, soldier-like cur-
thmt of the corps in garrison has gained the good will of the in-
habitants of Limerick ; and the manner in which it performs
its evolutions in the field-, has obtained the Major-General"4-
entire approbation—Officers and Non-commissioned Of-
ficers all know their places well, the style of- marching is
easy and good, the soldiers get quietly over the ground, atid
are steady proofs than the Adjutant and drill-serjeants have
done their duty. Lieut.-Col. Milne deserves great credit for
the excellent order in which the corps now is, and the Mvjov-
General is glad to see the 19th Regiment in the hands of :m
officer who appears in every way calculated to maintain the
high reputation which it has so-long:enjoyed. This corps tae s
with it the best wishes of the Major-General.
"By order.

" The uniform good conduct and excellent discipline of tiiF.;
19th Regiment, whilst quartered in this City and County, re.
fleets the highest credit on both'officers and men, and their de-
parture from this district is deservedly regretted.
" The 26th Regiment is commaneled by Colonel Oglander,
a distinguished veteran, and bears on their colours and appoint -
ments, the titles Egypt and Corunna,' in commemoration ct
their services on those occasions."

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.

EIGHT AND LAST DAY.—TUESDAY, A lic• 9.

IN THE MATTER OF THE REV. EDW. FRANK (AN

ALLEGED LUNATIC.)

The CHIEF COMMISSIONER resumed his summing up at -
ten o'clock this morning. Having gone through great part of ,
the evidence, he observed, when he came to that part which
mentioned the influence of Dr. Dickenson over 111 r. Frank's
mind, that it was worthy of remark that Dr. Dickenson'.4
opinion seemed to be that Mr. Frank was not a proper per-
son to keep money, for it was proved that he had 'on on,y.
occasion (after much solicitation on the part of Mr.
Frank) sent him two sovereigns. The whole of the evi-
dence in support of the inquisition, he observed, - formed
an entire and consistent chain of faces and circumstances
which had not been broken in upon, and well deselect' the
consideration of the Jury. The evidence on the part of
Mr. Frank also merited attention, consisting as it did of the
testimony of the servants who bad been attending. Mr.
Frank's person, and also of several very eminent medical'
gentlemen, who stated their- decided opinions that Mr.
Frank was of a sane mind, but a weak one. Ile then read .
the evidence on the part of Mr. Frank. It was to be regretted
that they had not called before them some of Mr. Frank's pri-
vate friends who were in habits of intimacy with him, rnr.
some of the tradesmen with whom he had had dealings. The
Learned Commissioner then adverted to the letter of Mr.
Frank to his sister, in 1817, which he read (we gave the letter
yesterday,) and observed, that undoubtedly that letter was
the production of a sane mind. It was strong evidence of
Mr. Frank':; sanity at that period. The question then for
the consideration of the Jury would be, whether the evidence;
given of his conduct since that time was a proof of insanity,
and at what period did that insanity commence, and did 'it
(and this was. the main point) continue down to the present
time ? As to the observation of Mr. Brougham, •that the
refusal of the Lord Chancellor two years ago to grant a com-
mission in this case was a proof that he did 1-ot at that tame.
think Mr. Frank of unsound mind, he must say that no such
inference could be fairly drawn from it, for his Lordship had
followed a similar course in the Portsmouth case. The Irord•
Chancellor had to exercise a just discretion in granting cons--
missions of lunacy, which were attended with such serious con-
sequences to all the parties concerned. It would not be doing
his duty properly if he closed his remarks without calling, the
attention of the Jury to the conduct of Mr. Frank when ex-
amined before them. Every allowance was to be made for a
gentleman placed in his situation, and called for examination
on such a subject before a Jury who were all strangers to him.
His answers, it was true, were consistent on many subjects,
but his ideas on the subject of his property seemed quite con-'
fused. He did not know what property he possessed. • .
Mr. SPENCE here suggested that Mr. Frank seemed per-
fectly aware of the amount of his rent-roll.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, that was true ; he did'
give a correct account of that ; tut the Jury would recollect,.
that in general his ideas of property were not sound. He bad
no bankers ; his children, he knew, were at school, but; he'
knew not how much their educatio.i cost. He persevered in
the opinion that Dr., Dickenson was a very proper person to
conduct his affairs ; and that Mrs. Frank was an innocent wo-
man. Having stated those facts, he would leave the case in
their hands. lf, on the consideration of all the evidence on
both sides, they should snake up their minds that Mr. Frank
seas so of sound mind as to be able to govern his person and
manage his property, they would. so declare it by their verdict.:
If, on the other hand, they believed that he was of so unsound
mind as not to be able to manage his property and person, they
would be doing only justice to Mr. Frank and his family.hv
placing him under the protection of the Great Seal. He
would leave it to the Jury entirely, should they be of opinion
that unsoundness existed, to say at what time the unsoundness,
commenced.

The Court was now ordered to be cleared, but the jury ex-
pressed an unanimous Wish to retire to another room, which
they did at half-past 11. . .
The Jury were absent from the Court one hour and three.
quarters. On their return their'nanies were called over. •
Mr. Commissioner Pitt Lum ORE.—Gentlemen of theiJitTyi
have you considered your verdict ?
Sir Richard Birnie (Foreman).—We have; and I will read
you the questions as put, and the answers thereto •• 7
Question.—ls the Rev. Edward Frank at this.titne•of art,:
sound mind, so as to be unfit for the government of hiniself, or
his affairs ?

Answer (unanimously.)—Yes. • ' •
Question.—From what period of time was the Rev. I;:dw•ard
Frank of unsound mind, and incapable of managinehitn;Silf
and his affairs ? . ts.

Answer (unanimous.)—From the 25th day of OctoLter,,lßli;.
The inquisition was then read, the return made by the Com -
missioners to the Lord Chancellor in the usual form, and "thc
Court was dissolved at half-past one o'clock. •

A few days ago a Gentleman at Edinburgh took a bet that
he would, when m the water, play a tune on the German flute
without wetting it. A party went out with him to the bathing
boat at Newhaven on Saturday, when he gained the bet by
playing the tune of Paddy Carey three times over, solid the
acclamations of numerous spectators.
Some weeks ago, two of the master book-
binders in this city received back their journeymen on the terms
dictated by the latter, at their strike, some 9 or 10 weeks ago.- -
The other masters, however, held out against their deman4s,
and this week the journeymen have intimated their _resolution
of returning to their work at their former wages, and of ills',
relinquishing a rule of their society, which forballe them to
work with men who refused to join it. It .happens, unfortu-
nately for the journeymen, that in the long intervallhe master,.
have mostly been supplied with hands from .the country, and
some few have even been brought from the Continent.; so that
the greater part of those who struck work, ifter enduring Ulan).
privations, and existing on the precarious charity of the joPr-
neymen of their own and other trades,will have to seek employ-
ment elsewhere thall in Edinburgh.---(Cakdopian Mercury.)
