stated that the Fremen interfered against the
Police, and took prisoner away from the lock
up after he had been arrested. The statement is
entirely untrue, as no person was taken away
from the Police after an arrest had been made,
either on the streets, or from the watch house.

SHIPPING LUNATICs FROM THE UNITED STATES TO Ell,
RoPE.-The Liverpool Journal Of the 25th, repeats
charge that it is the practice of the State governments
of the United States toshp to Europe their unatic pau
pers 1t says:
"Most of the sixtynine lunatcS from America who
have been returned stated came to the workhOuSe IN
condition of extreme wretchedness with hunger stamp
ed upon them. They represented as from all parts
of the United Kingdom, but two of them are put
down as from Newfoundland, two natives of St.
Domingo. Most of them idiots and imbeclles
most of them hopeessly nsance, and one cargo Is
known to have been shipped from lunatc asSum near
Boston, no being appointed in charge of them
Those who are sensible enough to give account OF
themselves will be removed to their parishes, but
there are many who give ineligible account and
woman apparently cannot speak at ALL The cruelty
we'll as the injustice of the proceeding will be at once
perceived from the fact that these poor creatures IN
nearly every instance long since emgrated to the United
States where they have spent the strength and Vgor
their days in the enrichment of their adopted country
and that it has been there that their rghtu maady has
been acquired"
The Boston papers, in reply to the above alleges that
they were originally shipped from Liverpool to Boston,
and were sent back by the authorities of the latter Gig
because they were paupers. They deny that they vert
insane when sent back.
