Creditor calculation. The wheats continue to look well, and are sufficiently thick planted on all well-managed soils. Of all other crops, the report is equally favourable. ` Potatoes, although by no means a good crop, whether in respect of quantity per acre or quality, are now habitually cultivated to such an extent, that no defect of supply is apprehended, nor is there any noticeable advance of price; the chief apprehension is on the score of a want of good seed for future planting. The supply of barley, from the import, has not been considerable enough to affect the price; nor has the quality been equal to the delicacy of hand requisite for our English markets; thence fine malting or grinding samples are, and will be, in request: but within these few days the foreign sup-. ply has increased. On hops, nothing worth reporting. In our wool trade, a certain mystification has for some time prevailed, which puts it completely out of our power even to offer a conjecture. Oats, perhaps, one of the most defective crops of late years; of inferior consequence indeed, since this country seldom grows enough for its consumption. As to fruit, we stand in the same predicament, without an equally good apology, the orchards of America, France, Guernsey and Jersey, supplying our tables with apples and pears. It ought not to be omitted, that the mangel wurzel, with its other advantages, has re-introduced the good old-fashioned practice of storing roots; expense, if in the field, considerably under 20s. per acre. An autumnal reduction has at length taken place in the price of provisions: in cattle and sheep, both store and fat, prime stores yet fetch a high price. The great plenty of acorns has also contributed to reduce the price of pork and bacon. The metropolitan cattle-show, chronologically, the 26th, was most numerously attended, and that not only by the regular professional men, but by those of another, which has always been a notable and acknowledged profession in this country; these last succeeded in dealing advantageously with two customers, abstracting from the pockets of one, notes to the amount of £200, from those of another £100, not to mention minor bargains. Good horses, nominally reduced in price, are still worth any price, but the breeders are on the alert. The largest importations of cart-horses from the Continent ever known, have lately taken place, being extraordinarily profitable; and it seems equally extraordinary, that cows have been, thus far, overlooked. The late commercial distress in London, purely the result of excessive prosperity, overtrading, speculation and swindling, has been inevitably, and still will be, severely felt throughout the country; with this, in some degree, countervailing advantage, that as it results from storms in the natural atmosphere, the atmosphere of country currency may haply be purified. There can be no solid objection to country paper currency, presupposing its due solidity. Our letters, and indeed personal observation, fully confirm our former reports, in our old series, of a general amendment in the wages and condition of the farming labourers; at the same time we were, and are still, sensible of the existence of too much of the old leven of poverty and misery, in certain poor districts; and of the baneful influence of select vestries, of which we have had some actual experience. And we fully agree with our respectable Correspondent, C. W., of the vicinity of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, on this subject.

SEPT. 17. Giovanni Maria Linquiti, Director of the Royal Asylum for the Insane at Aversa. He was born at Mulfitta in 1774, and was very early distinguished by his learning. He at first studied the law, but soon left it for a monastic life in the convent of the Serviti. Obliged, however, by political events, to lay aside his religious habit and assume that of a secular priest, he was received as a friend in the house of Berio, Marquis of Salsa, in whose library he had an opportunity of extending the sphere of his knowledge, especially in what relates to the physical and moral nature of man, of which an irrefragable proof was given by the first volume of his Richerche sull Alsenzeone Mentale. "But the origin of his great reputation," remarks the editor of The Milan Gazette," is to be dated from the time of his being appointed to direct the Royal Asylum at Aversa." Linquiti was one of the first who perceived that insanity, a disease peculiar to the reasoning animal, man, having its origin in reason, never entirely departs from that origin; that the insane are not so in every thing, or at all times; that we can and ought to try to restore their reason by reason; and that the chief, if not the only medicine in an hospital for the insane, is the luminous intelligence of the person who directs it. The principle which guided Linquiti in the treatment of lunatics was founded on their education. He began by considering them as sane, took care that every one should follow the usual exercise of his art and condition, and established his new system of cure on the basis of occupation and amusement — occupation, for the versatility of the ideas of the maniacs; and amusement, against the fixed ideas of the melancholy. The results of this method were so successful, that our new establishments of this description soon became celebrated throughout Europe." The health of Chevalier Linquiti had been on the decline from 1815 to his death. Dr. Vulpes, the physician of the establishment, recited the merits of the deceased: the whole body of the insane, who were present, were plunged in sorrow, as if they had lost their reason a second time." GENERAL MAXIMILIAN SEBASTIAN FOY. Nov. 28.-At his residence, in the Rue de la Chaussée d'Antin, Paris, aged 50, of an aneurism of the heart, General Maximilian Sebastian Foy. This officer was educated for the bar, but, on the breaking out of the Revolution, he entered the artillery, in which he was rapidly promoted. From the first campaigns of the Revolution to the battle of Waterloo, he was in incessant action, and frequently distinguished himself. He was wounded in Moreau's retreat, at the battle of Orthes, and at Waterloo. His activity in Spain was well known to many officers of the English army. Though his fate was bound up with the military profession, he refused, previously to the expedition to Egypt, the appointment of aide-de-camp to Buonaparte, whose views he seems to have suspected; and he also opposed Napoleon's elevation to the supreme power. It is related of the general that, after one of Buonaparte's victories, he was at a dinner of the officers; when, upon "the health of the emperor' having been given, he alone declined drinking it. In vain was he pressed on the point. "I am not thirsty," said he. By Buonaparte's abdication he lost a marshal's baton; but his military promotion, which then ceased, was compensated by popular honours and distinctions, which he could not have attained or enjoyed under the imperial government. Since his first admission to the Chamber of Deputies in 1819, he has been one of its most prominent orators; and in the last session he was, without exception, the most powerful opponent of the ministry. Being one of the few members gifted with the talent of extemporaneous speaking, he was enabled to make or to repel attacks with promptitude and effect. The disease of which he died, and from which he had long suffered, did not prevent his following his occupations; but, for the last eight days, the heart had undergone so considerable an enlargement, that he was unable to breath except he lay on his back. On opening the body after death, the heart was found twice as voluminous as in the natural state, soft, and gorged with coagulated blood, which it had no longer strength to put into circulation. Mirabeau, it will be recollected, according to the report of Cabanis, likewise sunk under a disease of the heart, augmented by the fatigue of the tribune and the cares and anxieties inseparable from business. The general has left a widow and five young children; but so strongly has the public feeling been excited in their favour, that a subscription, amounting to more than £20,000, has been raised for their support. Portraits of the general have been engraved, medals have been struck in his honour, and a public monument is to be erected to his memory. His obsequies were celebrated, on the third day after his death, at Notre Dame de Lorretto. An immense crowd assembled at the residence of the general; deputies, generals, and officers of all ranks thronged the apartments. When the body was brought down into the yard of the hotel, eight young persons presented themselves to carry it on their shoulders into the church. After divine |
