SINGULAR SontEr.--On Thursday evening,
authorities at St. Peter's Hospital, Bristol, determined,
giving an entertainment to the lunatics confined in: s
house; and, accordingly the place having been lit up an:..
music provided, about eight o'clock festivities commenced,bV
dancing and other innocent diversions, in which our poct
afflicted fellow beings of both sexes joined, seeming through
to enter into the sport, which revived in some the touchu.t_
recollections of former times, and in others awakened:
extacies of loud delusion. Some, who fancied themsel An,
kings and queens, looked upon the entertainment as Hitt..
short of a court ball, and conducted themselves according;
1 while others, whose hallucinations were less ambitious,f t•
cied themselves once more in the holiday festivals of.:t
native village. Some would have it that they were walknig
in the midst of their tenantry. The dancing was morel
tive than regular; a few moved with slow and stattlyity.-
while others skipped and jumped and caricoled about,d
independent of friends and fiddles. Some broke out
scraps of wild melody, some harangued and talked verse,i t.
each seemed happy ; the peculiar and varied wanderings lAx
delusions of all creating on the whole, a most curious etlec
The entertainment lasted two or three hours; and the at/ et
