CURIE

A Meetiug was held yesterday at the City of Lon-
don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, by a select number;
of of private individuals, for the benevoleart'purpose 6f
endeavouring to establish an 4.sylunt. for Lunatics,
in which the mode of treatment should be foinided
upon mildness and cohciliktion, instead of coercion
and severity. About thirty Gentlemen assembled,'
ambng whom were Mr, B.. Montague and Mr. E.
Wakefield. Mr. Fry took the Chair, anti Mr. El-
detton.Buras (Sec. pro. (tiff.) stated the motives which
had eecosionedtkeir being called' together, when Mr.
Wakefield briefly addressed them upon the subject.
He observed that there were few calamities to which
harms stature was Incident that called more power-
fully for their aid and humanity than that of mental
derangement ; but though there were twp public en.
dowments in this metropolis for the reception of in-
sane persons, and many private establislimessts, yet
the means of affording relief bore no proportion to
the numbers who required it. It had been calculated
by an intelligent Physician -Who paid particular at-
tention to this subject, that there were nearly 7000
`insane persons in London, and is vicinity : while St.
Luke's was adapted for the icception of only 200 pa
tients, and the new Befhlem, now erecting, ht M.
George's-fields, was to coattails 300. It was evi-
rdent, therefore, that a very great number of
indi-
`victuals requiring assistance must look for it in vain.
He had, himself, visited: the New Bethlem, with a
view to eget., taut • the mode of its construction; and
was surprised to find that it contained no provision
.for that period of convalescence when returning
i•reason began slowly to re.assume her empire, but
consisted. ntirely of dark and gloomy cells, and 'e-
•
"sembled a prison for solitary confinement, rather
than an Asylum for Lunatics. With retard to the
Asylum it was now proposed to establish, the
leading feature of it would consist in an improved
system of management, substituting mild and gentle
treatment in the place of that which now prevailed.
The efficacy of this mode had been successfully tried
in the Retreat at York, and was countenanced by
many intelligent individuals, as one most likely to
accomplish its object. . •
Several Resolutions were then proposed, stating
lhat a capital pf 100,0001. would be required to
carry the design 'etto effect ; that it was estimated
the annual expenditure would he defrayed by the
sums received for the support of the inmates], leaving
an ample remuneration on the capital advanced; that
this capital should the raised by a thousand transfer.
eble shares of 1001. each, and that the Asylum
should to constructed to contain 400 patients. Be-'
fore these Resolutions were carried, however, Mr.
Basil Montague suggested whether it would not
be better to ascertain what might be the defici-
encies
in the present receptacles for lunatics, both
as to their means of accommodation and the made
of treatment yorsued, •and having thus deter-
mined the neces3ity of the present proposed under-
taking, afterwards to devise how it might be best ac-
complished. He had no doubt, if a strong and con-
viacittel-case could be made out, and were =WA*
to the public, the sane generoll.support
extended toWards this new Asylum, which was al-
ways so promptly bestowed in this country upon all
charitable and benevolent institutions.. Such a pelt-
cedure, it struck hint, would tie a better one than
hastily veining to stay resolutions which they might
afterwards find-it unnecessary or impossible to carry
into effect. •

This prnpoailiel► was accordingly acceded to, and
a Committee appoietqdiamonF whom was Mr. Wil-
liam Allen, Mr. Mill, Mr. Montagne, Mr. Wake-
field, &c. to enquire into and examine the present
condition of the public and private receptacles for
lunatics, and to report the same, on an early day, to
a General Meeting.

New CHARACTER.--A footman who wished to
recommend himself to a good place, stated, "
He
was sit feet high, and Member of a Bible Society."
Saturday morning, between nine and ten o'clock,.
an aged man, of the name of Rolfe, was found burnt
tp death in his apartment, in the Middle-brook-street,
in this city. The deceased, it appears, lived hy him-
self, and it is conjectured, that whilst making a fire,
a spark flew out and caught his 'clothes, in which .si-
tuation, from age and infirmities, be eves precluded
from assisting himself. Although receiving Ore.
cilial relief, there were found in his apartment Iwo.
guineas in gold, and several Bank of England notes,
which ,were almost rubbed to pieces, by being carried
about in his pocket.—( Winchester Chronicle.)
Centitleß's ttlQUfir.—Yeiderday an [request was
held at Me .Grapes end Cans, iu Gos*ell-street,
Clerkenwell, before G. Ilonoson, Esq. Coroner for
Middlesex, on the body of Wm. Brooks, carman to
Mr. Mathews, a cooper in the same street, who was
killed by the wheel of his waggon going over his
head the preceding day. It was proved, that the un.
fortunate man, in driving his.team into tho yard. acci-
dentally fell, and before he had time to rise the wheel
passed over him, and killed him on the spot. Ver-
dict—Accidental Death.
FOuTPAD RonexttY.—Ost Tuesday evening, be•
'tween nine stud ten o'clock, as Mr. , Hankeson, a
gentleinan residing in Portland-street, was returning
to Hendon, from Tring, Bucks, iu a. single-horse
chaise, accompanied by a lady, he was stopped about
six miles from thence, by three fellows, one of whom
was armed with a pistol, and the others with blud-
geons. The robbers obtained 161. in Altek-antes, a
Watch (maker, Inglis, London), and obese silvers
with which they unfortunately got cletir off.
Tuesday morning, about eight o'clock, the Keeper
of Southgate-prison, in Exeter, attended, the felons
with a candle to light their fire, when a man called
Sharland (just reprieved from death), as he entered
the cell, gave him a blow, skipped out, and locked
the door upon him ; the ,Prisoner then attempted to
escape, by ascending a trap-door that led to the
debtors' apartments, and after locking the Keeper's
wife in her bed-room, descended to the front door ;
here he was at a stand, for the Keeper had the key
of it in his pocket, which, after calling loudly tol
some people in the street, he threw out to them, and
they Immediately entered and secured the Prisoner..
He has been rloable-ironed, and also all the other
prisoners, as it is supposed they were acquainted",
with the intention.

throwing himself from one of the Adelphi Wharfs

vented by a coal-heaver, who was at weft is
not far distant 'from the spot, also saw the act, and
`_with prompt humanity threw himself. 'Soto the water,

he confessed that tic had come from a coffee• house in
the neighbourhood, where be had passed the night
and some preceding days, with a fixed determination
to.put a period to hit existence. He had formed this
• rash design in consequence of having, the evening
before, engaged is play with some brother officers,
and lost a sum of 'money much 'larger than he had,
