THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, EVENIN-G, JULY 9, 1846.

WHITE had incurred the displeasure of some very
powerful public body, and that they had caused
him to be incarcerated as a lunatic—that

the society had taken up his cause, proved his
sanity, and effected his liberation. Now, what public
body was this, and who were the medical men who signed
the certificate authorising the incarceration of Mr.
Wnxm? Some one has been guilty of great ignorance
or of great wickedness, and the public safety requires
that those who have been so guilty should be brought
to justice. But it is not sufficient to free
those who have been unjustly incarcerated ;
the society should direct its efforts to the prevention
of the possibility of any one being confined on a
charge of lunacy without just cause. This can
only be done by legislative enactment. We would
propose that, in every case of suspected lunacy, the
coroner of the district and his jury should hold an

inquest of lunacy on the person so suspected, who
should have an opportunity of being present at the in-
quiry, of cross-examining the witnesses, of .rebutting
their testimony by the testimony of other witnesses,
and of being assisted by legal or medical advisers if
he should think fit, and that the coroner's warrant,
founded upon the finding of a jury after
such an investigation, should be the only
document authorising the keeper of any lu-
natic asylum to receive into his custody
any suspected lunatic. We throw out this suggestion
for the consideration of the society, and rejoiced we
are to find that at length an association has been
formed to take up the cause of those friendless
and unhappy persons who are unjustly imprisoned as
lunatics.

We had hoped that the final decision of the Court
of Exchequer in the case of WALSTAB V. SPOTTIS-
WOODE, by which the question of the non-liability of
the allottees of shares in the several extinct railway
companies for any portion of the preliminary expenses,
was fully and clearly settled, would have put
an end to the attempts made by the provisional
committees to obtain .a payment of the deposits
claimed, or shares allotted, or even a con-
tribution on account thereof. It will be in the
recollection of our readers that, immediately on the
report of the proceedings in the case of WOOLMER. V.
TOBY, we showed that no decision whatever had
taken place, and expressed our opinion that the ver-
dict in that case could not be permitted to stand ;
still the apparent sanction afforded to the claim
was not lost on the persons interested in
such companies, and innumerable applications,
accompanied by threats of legal proceedings in the
event of non-compliance, were daily made to the
several allottees ; and, in many cases, pro-
ceedings were actually instituted for the re-
coveay of the full amount of the deposit. During
this period we were not idle, but having
satisfied ourselves that the parties so applied
to were neither legally nor morally responsible, nor
bound either in law or in honour to make
any such payments, we repeatedly urged the
suspension of such threats until the law should be
clearly settled on the subject, and the question of
liability or non-liability satisfactorily adjudicated
upon, and set at rest. We pointed out the fearful
consequences which would inevitably be entailed on
the committee men if such a course was adopted,
more than doubling the amount of their previous
liability and loses, and rendering it next
to impossible that they could hereafter ex-
tricate themselves from the difficulties in which they
would thus become involved. We also commented
upon the indecent haste adopted, and the threats used,
which alone would prove the weakness of the cause
of the claimants. And although some few persons,
terrified by the prospect of actions, and unwilling to
have their names brought before the public as
railway speculators, which must necessarily have
b&en injurious to their credit, were in-
duced to pay sums, by way of compro-
mise, we had the satisfaction of knowing
that our exertions were not fruitless, but that vast
numbers were thereby induced to oppose the attempted
extortion, and to set at defiance the threatened pro-
ceedings, and thus to save themselves from serious
loss. But if such applications were improper in that
state of the proceedings, what can be thought of
a perseverance in such an unworthy course ?
What might possibly be palliated before the
judgment of the Court of Exchequer on
the 12th June assumes a very different character
and aspect when attempted after the publication of
the cases of WALSTAB v. SPOTTISWOODE, and WONT-
NER V. SHARP. What before was indecent haste,
now becomes grossly dishonest, and little butter than
an attempt at swindling. No lawyer can now enter-
tain a doubt as to what must be the result of a suit or.
such a subject. No matter in which of the Courts it
.may be instituted, it must signally and entirely fail;
and yet solicitors, ay, and men of respectability, are
to be found who will issue such letters, and make
such unfounded demands.
A correspondent has just forwarded to us such a
letter, which, although dated the 27th of June, was
not posted until last Friday. We give this precious
document verbatim, merely withholding the name of
the company and of the solicitor attached. We believe
that it is one of the companies that should be the last
to prefer such a claim, even if there was a possibility
of its being sustained; that the plans were found to
be so defective, the entire of the engineering de-
partment conducted in such a slovenly and improper
manner, the execution of it so impracticable from the
number and height of the viaducts, the severity of the
gradients, and the extent of the tunnelling, as to make
it perfectly clear that it could not possibly be pro-
ceeded with, and that it was in consequence
brought to an immediate conclusion, even without
the plans having been deposited; and yet they have the
modesty to demand a contribution of ss. per share.
which would amount to no less a sum than 25,0001.
sterling for their preliminary expenses—which ought
to be sufficient for its entire progress through Par-
liament, if the project had been well devised or pro-
perly planned. For the present we content ourselves
with begging the parties who may receive such
letters not to be influenced thereby, or induced to sa-
crifice their money. A few weak-minded persons,
yielding to such unprincipled demands, will only
have the effect of their being pressed on with greater
vigour and determination. As well might they ac-
knowledge the justice of the highwayman's demand,
who asks for their money or their life ; one has as
much legal claim to enforce it as the other.
One word more, should similar applications be
continued, we will unhesitatingly lay them before
the public, without keeping back the names of the
parties by whom they are made. 'We feel it a duty
we owe to the public, by whom we are supported,
and our exertions are appreciated, to denounce and
expose all such unprincipled and improper attempts
at extortion. The following is a copy of the letter to
which we have referred:—

June 27, 1846.

Sir,—ln consequence of your inattention to the 'repeated
applications of the Secretary of this Company for the pay-
ment of a small contribution as an allottee, I am directed to
issue a writ against you immediately for the recovery of
421., the whole amount of the deposit upon the shares al-
lotted to you in the above undertaking, and due upon your
contract, unless I receive from you a payment of ss. per
share, and 3s. 6d., the cost of this application, on or before
the Bth July.
I trust you will at once see the justice and propriety of
complying with this request, and thus prevent the unplea-
santness and expense which will otherwise be the mutt of
proceedings against you.
I am, sir, your most obedient servant.

Letters from Rome confirm the news that the Chief
Magistrates, the Municipal Councillors, and the princi-
pal inhabitants of the chief Roman cities have signed
Petitions to the now POPE, supplicating him, in the
interest of his people, to have executed the memoran-
dum of 1831, addressed to the Sovere'gn Pontiff by
France, Prussia, Austria, and Russia. M. GUAIIINI,
Chief Magistrate of Fel ; M. MASTAI, brother of the
PuPE, and Chief Magistrate of Sinigaglia, are amongst
the signers of these petitions, which demand municipal
institutions. The members of a great number of tri-
bunals have followed the example thus given by the
municipal bodies. Independently of M. MASTAI FE.
RLTTI, chief magistrate of Sinigaglia, well known for
his political moderation, Pope Pius IX. has another
brother, who was captain of carbineers, and whom
several persons remember to Lave seen at Marseilles
amongst the political refugees from the Roman States.
The Pon has appointed a Commission of Cardinals
to consider and report upon the measures to be adopted
by the new Government. The Commission is composed
as follows :—There are three Cardinal Bishops, viz.,
likcear, Sub-dean of the Sacred College ; LAMBRUS-
CIIINI, who was Secretary of State to GREGORY XVL ;
MATTES, who was Secretary of State to the same Pope,
fer the ;nterieri two Cardinal Priests, viz., MUT-DP'

SAN-FILIPO-E-SORSO and Gizzt ; and Cardinal BER-
NETTI, Vice-Chancellor of the holy Roman Church.

Madrid papers to the Ist inst. have arrived.
A grand euteitainment had been given by the French
Ambassador to the, Archbishop of BORDEAUX, who
was about to pr,.-,cecd to Toledo. It is suspected that the
object of his visit is to endeavour to bring about a
marriage between the QuEEN and the son of Don
CARLOS. - _ _

The Gaceta publishes a decree for the suppression of
the battalions of provincial militia, the maintenance of
which was reckoned to cost about 60,000,000 reels.
One of these papers contains a letter from the fron-

tiers of Portugal, dated June 28, which states that the
Miguelite movement was at an end. On the other
hand, the Herahlo states that it was rapidly extending
through the province of Tras os-Montcs, and a letter
from Vigo of the 25th, published by the Popular, an-
nounces that a body of 7,000 Miguelites had gained
possession of the place of Monzon, and that the insurrec-
tion had ramifications in other towns along the banks of
the Minh°.

Don ENRIQUE, it appears, made but a short stay in
Paris. He arrived ut Brussels on Friday.
Count BuEssoN, the French Ambassador, has, in con-
sequence of the receipt of dispatches from Paris, post-
poned his intended visit to France.
The Three per Cents. were done at 32i for cash, cx
div. ; the Five per Cents, at 20a for paper ; the Debt
without Interest, at 6i for cash; the Shares of the Bank
of San Fernando at 280; and those of Isabel at 198.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The
National and the Courr ler Francais are indignant with Sir
CHARLES NAPIER and Lord PALMERSTON for the
speeches made by them at the dinner given by the
Reform Club to Ibrahim Pacha. The minds of the
writers of these articles are in some respects curiously
constituted; they seem to think that enmities should be
eternal, and that it is impossible for those who have once
met as enemies in war ever to become cordial friends
in peace. _ _

The Journal de Lille says that Mademoiselle RACHEL,
who was attacked recently by sporadic cholera, is im-
proving, and that her rapii convalescence may be ex-
pected.

Some alarm was produced on the Paris Bourse, on
Tuesday, by the statement in the London papers of
the preceding day, that the returns of the quarter's
revenue ending the sth instant, bhowed a comparative
decline. Stock and shares felt the effect of this im-
pression, but recovered in some degree when it became
known that Consuls rose in London on Monday.

The Three per Cents. closed at 83f. 35c. ; the Five per

CITY, QUARTER TO THIEF,.
At Liverpool yesterday the sales of Cotton were 7,000 to
8,000 bales, including 500 American on speculation 1,000
rein:in-is and Maranhams, at 440. to 51/0. ; 200 Bahia, at '
61 to 612.0.; 100 Egyptian, at 514 d. to 6d.; and 300 Surat,
at 3d. to '3,Aid. per lb. The rest was American, at 4d. to
51Ad. The market closed very firmly, and American was
rather dearer to buy. Shares were firmer.
It is with much pleasure that we have to note the fact
that a Committee has been appointed fur the purpose of ac-
tively promoting the " Penny Subscription" for the " Peel
Testimonial." And in the most influential circles here, it is
thought no one could have been selected better than Colonel
Thompson, the talented author of the " Anti-Corn-
law Rhymes," as President, nor a more judicious selection'
as the Deputy, than Captain Polhill, to the " old friend of '
free trade." No doubt can therefore exist but that a meet
ample fund will be realised to carry out the great object,
originally, and still advocated, by " Alfred," the talented
Correspondent of our Contemporary, the Morning Advertiser.
There hove not been any later Colonial arrivals announced
in the City this morning.
The expectations entertained in some quarters that the
directors of the Bank of England would at their early meet-
ing to-day announce a change in the rate of interest has not
yet been confirmed, nor do we expect that any alteration
will at present he announced.
The Public Securities have been ratherbeavy this morning.
Consuls for Money ex. dividend have receded from 961/4 to
95X, and precisely the same change has taken place in
the quotations for the next settling day. The premium upon
Exchequer-bills has receded rather considerably,: notwith-
standing a very considerable proportion of the surplus reve-
nue put at the disposal of the Sinking Fund Commissioners
is to be laid out in purchasing such securities up. The pre-
mium now is 12s. Bank Stock has advanced again to 209,
with a steady demand. The Reduced Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. are firm at 9714 %.
There has been a very dull market for the Foreign Bonds
to-day, in fact, scarcely a dozen real bargains have been
quoted. The Equador Bonds have been sold at 3%, the
Mexican Five per Cents. at 27M, the Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. at 60, and the Four per Cent. Bonds
at 9334.
The fluctuations in the Railway Share and Scrip Market
have been exceedingly slight to-day, as will be perceived by
a refeience to our authorised list of prices.

Veal, 3s 6d to 4s 4d ; and Pork, 3s 1011 to 4s 8d per Blbs.
