DRESDEN, AUG. 12.-That..the SlispititlTl of Jesuitical

i3RE.4IkU, AUG. 17.-On: the 15th: e4ld 16th the
Synod of the DePuties OF the Christian Catholic coremu-
tles-of Silisia met. The Assembly was opened at nine
o'clock on Friday morning in the chapel of
.the poor-
house by an impressive speech of Dr. Theiner. Protessur
flegenbrecht then read the names of the Deputies, from
which it appeared that Deputies had been sent by above
forty Silesian communities. - The Synod procced,d to
choose a president, and its
,choice fell on Professor
Reg( nbrucht. The confrssicrn of faith was then dis-
cussed ; some additional and explanatory observations
were addetl to that of the council of Le'p6ic, as proposals
for a fiitUre general council. After this, the Liturgy
hitherto used in- Breslau, with many iciprovt-meats pro-
posed by Dr. Theincr,chicfly tending more internally to
cement the several parts, was read and adopt, d. The
assembly then i roceeded to deliberate tin the, organisa-
tion of the Silesian communities.
This was an important day for the Christian Catholic
-"datiti-iunity. It has atiength-obtained a more eonvenient
•place for the celebration or Divine worship than the
small chapel of the poor-house. The elders of the large
Evangelical Church of St. -Bernhard have allowed them
she use of that church after the termination of Diviue
service at eleven o'clock. , Only a small part of the 6,000
members of - the Christian Catholic commitintry were
,Ilitherto able to attend the service, this was the first
time that they had -a spacious church- at their disposal.
Dr. Theiner 'read the Liturgy, and Ronge preached the
sermon. - - - - • .

Christian Catholics are prohibited in the Electoral of

day,- and have hired a small church in the suburbs.
COBLENTZ, AUG. f 8 ,-The distinguished English
guests of their Majesties base left us without having
come to our. city. Either on account of the dreadfully
bad weather, or for some other cause, they passed the

It seems certain that the Ministers of several Govern-
ments. had several conferences, especially on Friday last,
le hen Prince Metternich was present, on "which occasion.
the important diplomatic questions of the day; were dis-
cussed. It is affirmed that the religious movement w ail
one of the questions' brought forward, and that a e•ttei-

BRUSsELs, AUG. 26.-The average price o.: .c. wheat Itsit
week was 22-31 E, and that of rye 14.02 f. Both wiliest
and rye are free from duty on importa•jou, and pay mg
export duty of 24 centimes per I,oorikilogrammet.
The Organe des Flanders says," Speculators retkohin
that potatoes would be very dear, bought up all the rims
could find. They seem to have been deceived its
their expectations, for the price of rice is falling' thi
week. The favourable state of the weather of court.t.
increases the hop,eof a favourable harvest."

have
published an account from Frankfortof the 3d August:
stating that " the Austrian Uilvertinlebt itas.lattly or-
dered that travellers' oohing from abroad shall produce
rot.o/111 their passports, but a certitickate of their place of
abode.'
On the authority of information received from Vienna
on this subject, we areistile to say that-the report is un-
founded, the Austrian Government not having given
any such order, nor, as fox as we know, made any change
whatever with respect to passports.
We have received to-day the Java journals to the 26th
of April, from which we extract the following particu-
lars ;-,.,".liccording to accounts •from Bantam of the
1211sh*ItlitOtt, the_c,fiast-had been infested for some Jays
past by pirates, who had killed, wounded, and carried
off several persons. It is supposed that these pirates aro
Trepang fishers, now in the straits of Sunda, near the
Thousand Islands, and on the coast of Lampong. The
Government has again taken measures to look for these
pirates, and orders have been given to make a strict
st arch cn board the vessels of the Trepang fishers of
Linga, for stolen goods or kidnapped persons.'
In the first half of this month great damage was done
in the district of Ledok, (in the residency Baglen,) by
heavy rains. Some capital bridges were swept away and
the rice plantations on the banks much injured.
ROTTERDAM, 25T11 AUGUST.—The arrival of the
ArchWuke Frederick of Austria, which waafixed for
to-day, has not taken place, the Prince being slightly
indisposed. Everything was prepared for his reception.
He is, however, expected to morrow.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.

CHYLTENUAM, Ana. 29.—This morning a commission de
lunatho inquirevdo, directed to Commissioners Winslow and
Barlow, was opened at the Plough Hotel, Cheltenham, to
inquire into the state of mind of Lieut.-Colonel Wi'.liarn Lewis
Herford, of the 23d regiment of Foot Guards. The commis-
sion was issued at the suit of the colonel's brother, John Her-
ford, Esq., on behalf of the patient's own son, his next of kin.
The jury was comprised of sixteen highly respectable gentle-
men of the town, and the proceedings, from the Colonel being
an old resident of Cheltenham, created considerable interest,

_
The commission having been opened,
Mr. Charles Fowler, medical attendant in the family, de-
posed that in the August of last year be was called in to
treat the Colonel under an attack of apoplexy. He found
him labouring under general paralysis, and his mind was
so much affected that he could not return rational and eq.
herent answers to the most ordinary questions put to him.
He afterwards rallied in some measure, but had since beau
visited by two or three similar attacks, the effect of !hick
was that his mind had become deteriorated, and witness
had not the least daubt, speaking as a medical man, that the
Colonel was now, and had been ever since August, 4'44, of
unsound mind, and perfectly incapable of managing his own
affairs. He did not recollect witness's person from one visit to
another, and on one occasion, being asked what sort of a night
he had spent, he replied that the barometer had been tiling and
falling all night.
Dr. Allardyce deposed that he had paid two visits to
the Colonel, to ascertain his state of mind The first of thee*
visits was on the 16th of April, when he saw him, by order of
the Secretary at War, to inquire whether he was its a it state
of mind to make the necessary affidavits for receiving his pay
and allowances. Found him in decidedly an unsound state of
mind, and unable to return a rational answer to the simplest
question. Told him the objeet of the visit, but he appeared
perfectly unconscious, and could neither tell the day of the
week, the day of the month, or the name of the medical gen-
tleman who had been attending him. Witness asked him the
name of his regiment, but after looking at him a moment, witk
vacuity of countenance, he was unable to tell the name of the
corps, neither could he tell the amount of his pay. Visited
him again on the 9th of June, and found him
in the same state ; and it is witness's opinion, without
a shadow of a shade of a doubt, that the Colonel
is perfectly incompetent to manage his own affairs from un-
soundness of mind. Witness has had great experience witk
insane patients, and should consider the cause of the disease
to be mechanical compression on the brain, caused by the apo-
plectic attack spoken of by Mr. Fowler. It was very unlikely
he would ever regain his mental faculties.
Sarah Coates, who had nursed the Colonel ever sinee Jo,
nuary last, said, that during the whole of that period he had
never asked any questions or taken any interest in w'nat was
going on around him ; he had never even asked for his Owl
son.

The Colonel was here introduced to the court, and in answer
to questions put to him by the Comm4sioner he gave very in-
coherent and rambling replies. He could r.ot tell where We
property was situate. Knew he had estaves in Italy, but did
not know what they were worth. Kra,,,, he had a son, and
that he was now in England, but cor:id not tell his age ; and
when asked where he had come. irotn this morning, said, " Oh.
somewhere near the mountain."

The jury expressed themselres quite satisfied, and immedi—
ately returned a verdict that (-Jolonel William Lewis lierford is
of unsound mind, and incr.pable of ma.v.ging his own affair*,
and that he has been so since August last.
