The subject of the improper committal of persons to lunatic asylums is attracting attention in other parte of the country than New York. A committee appointed by the Vermont Legislature to investigate the condition of the lunatic caylum in Lirattleboro' have recently spent several days in an examination of that institution, and propose to continue their investigation in Montpelier, where some forty wituesses from the asylum are to appear and give in their testimony. A case which was before the United States District Court iu Burlington in Sep- tember would lead to the supposition that (here bas been gross nismanagement in the Drattieboro’ institution. A venerable cler- gyman named Peres H. Saaw, who for- merly preached at Northfield, Mase., and in several places in Vermout, was sent to this asylum as an insane person by the Over- seers of the Poor of Barnet, Vt. Mr. Saw was brought before the Court on a writ of habeas corpus and permitted to plead bis own case, when he succeeded iv couvineiug the Judge that he bad never been other- wise than sane. During the investigation the Superintendent of the asylum con- fessed that Mr. Suaw in the whole five years of his incarceration never committed an act which indicated insauity. Mr. Snaw believes he was imprisoved at the instigation of a relative who has control of an annuity belonging to him. Of course the old gentleman secured his liberty, the Judge accompanying his decision with re marks reflecting severely on those con- cerned in his improper imprisopment. One of the most singular cases of im- proper detention ina lunatic asylum that ever occurred in this country took place Mlinots some years ago, In 1800 Mrs, E W. Packand was committed to. the asylum in Ja nots permitted a husband or fath mit wife or child to an asylum without er evidence ed his charge of his wife's in nity on the ground that she did not believe in the doce trine of total depravity, which appea strange in consideration of her marital exe periences, aud further justified bis action pinion that she was in- by expressing the juring the cause of Crmust by he After three years of impri which she suffered indescriba runt ief. + tortures Mra. Packanp obtained her release, the tere mined by the law, when her husband fled question of her nity having been de! the Btate, It is not improbable that at this time quite a number of save persons may be ited States through the ignorance or criminal iudif- confined in asylums in the U ferenve of some of those in charge of such inbtitutions; thongh it is difficult to believe that such persons would be knowingly de tained in any public asylum in this coun- try. And itis more than probable that ta these asylums there isa very large number of patients whose brains are slightly dis ordered, and who by rational treatment might be fully restored to the possession of | , but who, owing to the antiquated and senseless methods of deal- ing with che insane vow in gencral prac- all their facultie tice, are being driven into hopeless inud- ness by the incompetency of those who profess to bo experts in the treatment of mental diseases, No reform in the mans agement of lunatic asylums can be effectual which does not alm at amore intelligent treatment of the really insane, as well as the prevention of the improper committal of saue persons, Carefully gathered sintistios recently published concerning the religious acooumods tions afforded in the fourteen large provincial towns of England whteh have by the census of 1si1 more than one tandred thousand inhabit ants, indicate that the Nonconformists are gradually but surely gaining in numbers, and that the Established Church of I longer be regarded as the church of a majority of Englishmen, Of these fourteen great towns there are six in which the Established Church has increased more rapidly than other eburebes and eight in which the other churches have outstripped the Established Church. In Manchester, Salford, Leeds, Birmingham, Hull anc Br ny the increase of sittings has been greater in the Established Chureh than in other Hodies, but Brighton isthe only one in whieh the Established Church provides nore th half of the religious accommodation towns above named, although the Estalilis!

Taking the whole fourteen towns together, it is found that while twenty-one years ago the Established Church provided 42 per cent. and the Noneon formists 58 per cent. of the church aceommoda- tion, the former now provides only 40.2 per cent. and the latter has increased its proportion to 8 perc ‘These statistics are interesting in view of the agitation vow going on in and for rellgious equality, as it may be accepted asa certainty that Englishmen will not remain cons tented to recognize ax the State Church an orgontzation which does not represent the re gland can no thes lighous faith of @ majority of the population, The second rebearsal of the Brooklyn Philhar: moniv will take place at the Academy of Music to row, Wednesday, at 8 o'clock, ‘The orchestral #eli Hone are Hee/hoven's Fitth symphony, the overture to Tnhgenta in Aulis,” by Gluck, wud Linc bystie Aleasuya,” SDAY.
