the 29th ult., and on your conduct as a director of the

no such expectation, for I did not believe that you

But I regret to find that I have fallen into a more
'serious error in expecting, as I certainly did, that you
!would have frankly accepted my emphatic disclaimer
of any such sinister and factious motives as I under-

given you credit for a love of candid and fair dealing

evening, at the Horse and Groom, Great Portland-

payers a more direct control over the same ; and to
insure the election of gentlemen as vestrymen who will',

'themselves could not have better expressed—" We

M. Dupin is not infallible. The French emigrants
have borne arms against their own country, but, on
the other hand, some of them have done good

took part in the affairs of France, but in those of all

A foreigner is subject to the laws of that country
in which he resides, and receives in return protection;
when, therefore, a refugee is accused, let him be
tried, but do not expel him the country. A law that
places the power of banishment its the hands of the
'Executive is a brutal and absurd law. Do you know

the provinces, that a self satisfied and conceited man
having before his eyes the mortal dread of his

The day may come when France will learn to value
national hospitality, and respect the rights of man.

DR. STEWART TO HECTOR ROSE, ESQ.

74, Grosvenor street, Nov. 30, 1849

Sir,—ln your remarks at the meeting of guardians°
,)f the Caledonian Asylum, held yesterday in Crane-
court, I understood you to throw out a very sweep-1
flg charge against those who signed the requisition,
to the directors, and to declare that, though they
would not speak out, their real motive was hostility
co the superintendent, and a factious spirit towards'
the directors. I know, Sir, that you love open and'
straightforward dealing, but in that respect I will not
yield to you or any man. I stated my reasons,
frankly, and, let me add, fully; and for myself, II
emphatically repudiata and protest against your ac-
,cusation. _ _

AN ECCENTRIC CHARACTER.—An old lady slat)
:rears of age, of weak intellect, and who gave way to all
,sorts of extravagance, had long had a very strong fed-
tug of attachment for dogs and cats, of which she kept a
large number; and when any of them died she had then,
stuffed, so that her apartment resembled the cabinet of a
naturalist. In the midst of her collection she had had
t handsome mausoleum erected to the memory of one 01
her greatest favourites, and on the front of which were
written the words, "Ci git Pumpie." She had an old
servant who resided with her, and who had imbibed mos
of the eccentricities of her mistress. The son of the
lady, who occupies a rather high position in society, al-
!lowed his mother a suitable maintenance, but, finding
that she denied herself the necessaries of lire in order

But to say that I have confidence in your super-
intendent, and the present course—:o far as I can
gather anything regarding it—of the Court of
Directors, would be quite as far from the truth. And
,1 my suspicions were strong before, your open and'
'rank avowal yesterday has made them tenfold
stronger.
The only recommendation of the report of the
iub-committee, which has been so often referred to
l
luring the last two years, respecting which I had any
misgivings, was the proposal of a superintendent.
['hough not strong enough to induce me to oppose
~he unanimous opinion of such a committee, they
were still of considerable strength.
1. Because my much esteemed friend Mr. ICisbet,s
whose administrative genius you know, and whol
knows more of the working of the charitable institu-
tions of the metropolis than any other individual or
my acquaintance, expressed his unhesitating conviction '`.l
that the proposed office was at best a useless, and
would probably be a hurtful one. And
2. Because I had had personal experience of the
office in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where I was,.
;'resident in 1838. [Here follow some details regard-
ing the resignation of the resident medical staff, and
the disorder which prevailed in the establishment for;
-several years, and terminated only with the virtual
dismissal of the superintendent. These details we,
• omit, as likely to provoke needless controversy.]
Now, Sir, it is quite plain that you are fully pre-
[ared to re-enact this Glasgow drama in the Cale-
donian Asylum. You, like the directors of the fonner
institution, are persuaded on very short trial, that you

be in readiness, was only defeated by a full meeting
of directors, and is perhaps not yet extinct. It also
reminds me that, at the close of that meeting, when
most of the directors had gone away, a vote was
