Watch House Inhumanity,--We per-
ceive that much feeling has been occa-
sioued at Boston by the melancholy y death
Of Lieut.. Wyche. Suspicious are iu,i-
mated that his treatment was harsh and
exasperating, and fault is found with the
composition of the corroaer's jury, several
of the jurors being persons connected with
The watch department. A fuller invesii-
galion is called for, before tribunal that
cannot be suspected Of bias.
The even, suggests what we have often
suggested, the propriety, the humanity, of
having better provision made at watch
houses aud PRISONS for rendering medical
assistance. Even supposing Lieut.. Wyche
to have been merely intoxicated. there
can be- no doubt that by the proper aid
aud counsel his life might have been SPAR
ed. A man in his situation should uol he
left alone 10 a cell-abandoned TO his own
miserable eaeclions-wihout cheering
word or the tone OF kindly voice to pour
consolation upon his bruised and despair
ing soul. But if he was temporarily de-
ranged, and not under the influence Of
liqurr, how barbarous was The treatment
he received.
We do not blame the wa,chmen, but
The inhuman system Of neglect under
which they acted.-N Y. Com. Adu.

himself superiority of Intellectual en-
