CONIMISSIONS OF LUNACY.-TWO commissions of
lunacy were held a few days ago at the Swan Tavern, Wal-
ham-green, before Commissioners Whitmarsh, Blunt, and
Murray, to inquire into the state of mind of two ladies--
namely, the Hon. Frances Roberta Rowley, and the Hon.
Isabella Anne Rowley, one about 30, and the other 45 years
of age. It appeared that the eldest lady had for a long time
past laboured under delusions, fancying that persons were in
the room, and that she frequently heard voices speaking to
her. She also imagined that she was under the special pro-
tection of the King. Several females who had been in attend-
ance upon her, and also Sir George Tuthill, were examined,
and proved the unsound state of her mind. The other lady,
it appeared, had laboured under insanity from a very early
period of life, and had in consequence been placed under ro-
fessional care. The Jury returned a verdict of " Insanity" in
both cases.

SPECULATIONS IN SUGAR.—On Thursday last
Mr. Murray and Mr. Crossthwaite arrived in this town from
Dublin, having landed at Sligo, from the James M'lnroy,
from Demerara for the Clyde. As the accounts they brought
of the refusal of the negroes to work were calculated to raise
the price of colonial produce, these gentlemen bought large
quantities of sugar on speculation, before they made the intel-
ligence public. An express was also forwarded to London,
where similar speculations in colonial produce took place on
Friday. The character of the intelligence received was not
understood till late in the afternoon of that day. There seems,
however, to be no real ground for fearing a scarcity of sugar
from the asserted indisposition of the negroes to work.—Li-
verpool Albion.

SUFFERINGS OF lI:gIGRANTS.—A few days since
we mentioned the case of the Thomas Gelstone from London-
derry, a very old vessel, if we mistake not, the owners of
which, by their horrid speculation in human flesh and human
misery, must have obtained a greater sum of money by the
voyage to America, than any other vessel that has entered the
St. Lawrence this season. The Belsay Castle, from Sligo,
is another instance of the cold-blooded avarice. When the
vessel was on the banks she sprung a leak, which was not re-
paired for a month, because the carpenter was sick. During
this time, as the gravel ballast eboaked the pumps, she was
bailed by the passengers with their buckets and tin cans. The
result was that the vessel got into port with famished passen-
gers, for their own provisions were destroyed by the water,
and all had not the means to buy of the captain, who, as is
not unusual with the captains of passage ships from Ireland,
was enabled to grow rich on human suffering.—Montreal Dnily
Advertiser.
