that the Legislature make an appropria-
ton for the erection of another asylum to
be located in the trans-Alleghany country.
He says that all experience has proven
that institutions of this character accom-
plish the object of their creation more
thoroughly by being limited to about 200
patients, than when intended for the ac-
commodation of large number. There
are two Asylums in Virgina-one in
Eastern Virginia and one in Central Vir-
GINA. The one here can accommodate
400, and that at Williamsburg 800 patients.
From the last census it appears that there
are IN Virginia 922 insane whites, besides
number Of free colored and slaves; and
that there are 945 white idiots, besides a
number of colored ones. The Superinten-
dent, from these facts, argues in favor of
another Asyl um for the insane.
The report represents the Institution to
to be IN a flourishing condition and every
thing moving along to the harmony and
success of all its interests.

Mr.. Cuttings Resolution,

This gentleman, il is known, has at
tempted to nationalize the removal Of
Bronson, by bringing the matter before
Congress, in the form of resolutions of in
quiry. Those resolutions were very sum-
marily disposed of by that body. They
were laid on the table, there to remain
we hope until doom's day. This action
by Congress evinces a disposition to let
Mr.. Bronson remain in that corner of OBJ.
security from which the President unfor-
tunately drew him. and to sustain the adj
ministration in the course il has pursued
in dispiacing him. We are truly glad oil
it, and we doubt not this signal defeat and
rebuke of the spirit Of contention aud
fault finding, will be hailed with delight
BY the great national democratic party,

Duels in High Life,

Hon. Pierre Soule, our minister at the
Spanish Court, has fought duel with the
Marquis de Lurgot, the French Minister
at the same Court. Also duel has beer
fought between Mr.. Soule's son, and the
Duke of Alba. Both rencontres origina.
ted in disrespectful comments made on the
dress of Mrs. Soule. 1t seems that that
accomplished lady has chosen to confine
herself to the American Fashions, and
wear her dress high up in the neck, in
preference to the semi-nude habits Of the
Spanish elite. Mr.. Soule's appointment
to his present mission, (says the Dispatch, J
was disagr eeabe one to the Spanish
court, and, instead of the manly course OF
refusing to receive him, il may be, and
probably is, the plan to get rid of their
UNIV elcome visitor by all sorts of social
annoyances. There seems. by the way, to
have been sort Of tripartite alliance
against the American Minister in this duel,
the parties to 1t, the Duke of Alba, the
French Minister De Turgot, and the Bri.
fish Minister, Lord Howden, representing
the three governments which are leaeued
together 10 keep Cuba cut Of the hands of
the United States. To comm ence petty
war upon an adversary, by an insult to a
well-bred and estimable lady, is just such a
procedure as might be expected at Court
whose Queen is so notorious and brutal IN
her intamy, that her own subjects, albeit
not over nice in their own morals. are
compelled to hiss her when she appears in
public.
We find the following account of the
termination of the duels in the Baltimore
Sun. OF Mr.. Soule, Sr., it says:
THE duel took place with pistols, at
twenty PAGES, the parties meeting at Cham
artin, league from Madrid, at half.past
eleven. The first fire took place without
effect. On the second fire M. de Turgot
was shot through the leg, near the knee /;
he was Immediately removed home in his
carriage, and bore the injury pretty well.
The leg is now good deal swollen, but
as it appears that the knee-cap was not
touched, and no principal artery wounded,
it is trusted that his state is not one OF
danger. Mr. Soue was not wounded"
Mr.. Perry, Secretary of the American
Legation, was one of the seconds of Young
Soule, in his duel with the Duke of Alba.
They fought with swords, but fortunately
without either beng wounded, and it end
Ell in the seconds drawing up minute OF
the proceedings as having beer conducted
in manrer satisfactory to the honor and
reputation o. both parties. 1t was also
agreed that the letters which have passed
between them should be mutually with
drawn.
