A latter, which bats appeared in a Cork paperi
signed a " Broad Cloth Weiver;') or
the decadence of the Woollen ,Manufacture in (hi
City of Cork, has the following passage iii it
44 At the time of the (Latin, about ten years ago;
there were nine thousand persons employea in Cork
and its vicinity, in the Broad Cloth business alone :
but, melancholy to tell, there are not now one
hundred and fifty actually at work. It is said
Cork has thriven by the Union, and by Mr, Fos.
TM's measures founded upon it. lam no Foliti.
ciao; but if I may venture a conjecture, which
fact and reason scent to unite in sanctioning, I do
in my soul verily believe that we (for lam a s cal vr
of broad cloth) have to attribute all our mistur.
'tones to that baleful Union; and I implore Goo
Os to dispose the heart of the best of Kinds, and
the best of men, as that the repeal of that ruinous
Act may relieve the manufacturing class..s troni their
present deplorable condition."

Wednesday last, a circumstance, which tlnsgrves
the peculiar attention of our Legirt;attire, oc
at the Public Office, Marlborough-rot-el. A re-
spectable butcher, of Isiewp..rt-markety ei he, it
appeared, had a abort time back, thr.ingl, .lie in.
vanity of hii wife, been seisco,l and carried otl to a
private mad:house, at Hexton, made his es, ape on
Tuesday evening last, and called upon a Mr. Wat.
son, a neighbour of his, to
_consult with him, who
received him very kindly. In Osamu:an t. 4114 th•
tWO keepers ruthed into thr house him,
and were abort to drag. him away ; but Mr. Wat.
son and several of his friends rusructi kilt, and sent
the two keepers to the watch.hocse, where, they
remained all night, and at twvive o'clock the
next morning were taken before the Magistrate
of the above office. It was clearly proved by
the friends'ef the butcher, and acknowledged
the keepers themselves, that he was in a sound state
of mind; in consequence of which, the Magistr4o
ordered that he should be regularly discharged.—
Himanity demands that private mad-houses be put
under the inspection of Public Authorities, and
that it be made highly criminal to send to, or re.
ceive any person into a private mad-house, with.
out an order from some Public Authority, sanc.
tioned by a due Medical Report. The letter your
Correspondent A. B. in The Statesman of Septem.
her 9, gave some excellent hints on this subject,
and we hope it has met the eye of sou,e of our '
benevolent Legislators, who du watch over the`
interests of humanity, and in matters too that are
not so immediately connected with the greater eon.
terns of Government.
On Monday, the 17th inst. Mr. Alderman BAT.

miser before since the day he attended the Prince of
WALES, in laying the first stone for the building.
Two new candidates have started for the situation

Magistrates will make their election at the next
Middlesex Sessions.
ANOTHER Guosv.—A. second "perturbed spi.
rit," it appears, is playing Its pranks at Yahoo,
in • Soraersetshire, which is nut an unaseasureable
distance from Sampford. With respect to motive
ancrobject, the consideration that the Michtscluas,
Quarter is fast approaching, may prove a solution.
