Insanity.
Laverstock Asylum, near Salisbury.

The Asylum (many years countenanced for superior care, and attention to the patients) is most eligibly situated, on an eminence, in the healthy and pleasant village of Laverstock, about a mile from the great western road, remarkable for the salubrity of the air and romantic scenery of the country, commanding most cheerful and extensive views, and combining every accommodation for the patients. - The gardens and pleasure grounds are so extensive and variegated, and so happily selected for the exercise of the patients, that all may be uninterruptedly enjoy their walks, rides, and amusements, without the idea of their seclusion obtruding on them.- The house is very commodious, replete with distinct accommodations for the patients of Each Sex, which vary according to the wishes of their friends, or their former habits of life; and are so studiously arranged, both for present domestic comfort, and with a view to their metal restoration, that in the enjoyment of society here no unpleasant intercourse can take place, nor any indiscriminate associations be formed.- For the still more eligible accommodation of persons of rank and fortune, whose cases require greater seclusion, (as well as from a conviction of its necessity in other respects), the proprietors have super-added other houses to the establishment, conveniently remote from the Asylum, where any style of living may be indulged in, compatible with their health and safety. - The most experienced and humane attendants are carefully selected; still nothing is left to their superintendence, since Mr.and Mrs.Finch reside in the Asylum, by which every source of disquiet and irritation in that department is obviated. - I avail myself of the opportunity to offer my best acknowledgements to my medical friends, for much valuable information, and kind assistance otherwise, and to my friends in general, for the confidence reposed in me. I assure them my time has ever been anxiously devoted in promoting their wishes, and in furthering a system which has the amelioration of so many sufferers in view; and pledge myself, that the great success which has for so many years past attended a widely extended practice in this department of my profession, and the consequent public patronage, far from relaxing my exertions, shall act as an additional stimulus to my efforts for the relief of those laboring under every species of diseased intellect.
W.Finch, Surgeon.
N.B.- Patients are attended by Mr.F at their own houses, and experienced servants sent in cases which do not require removal.

Winchester
Saturday, October 16.

On Saturday night last the heavy coach from London to Portsmouth, from Gracechurch-street, was overturned in Milford-Lane, about a mile from Godalming, and providentially, while there ten outside passengers, only one of them, a female, was materially injured; but the guard was so severely hurt, that he was obliged to be carried in a litter to Godalming, where he now lies in a dangerous state. No blame is imputed to the coachman, the accident having been entirely occasioned by the very bad condition of the road, which, from Godalming to Liphook, is in such a shameful state as to render it a matter of surprise that so few accidents happen. It is also hoped, that the proprietors of the coach will enable the guard to bring an action against the trustees, as a compensation for his injuries and loss of time.

Mr.Maxfield played the Duke Aranza in his usual happy style, and was warmly applauded. The part of Juliana was very ably performed by Miss Norton. Evans as the sham Duke, kept the audience in a continual roar of laughter; and the other performers sustained their several parts with great credit. We sincerely hope that they will meet from the public the encouragement that is due to them on the nights of their respective benefits.

Robbery

On Monday evening about five o'clock, as a boy in the service of Capt.Williamson was riding from Bradford to Writhlington, three men rushed out of a coppice by the road side; two of whom seized the reins of his mare, while the third rifled his pockets, holding out a large clasp knife, the handle of which appeared bloody. After beating the poor lad on the breast with a quart bottle until the neck broke off, they led the mare across a field into a bye-way, where they threatened to murder him. Fortunately, at the moment of impending peril, the mare trod on the foot of the man who led her, which caused so much pain as to occasion him to let go the reins. The boy, beginning to collect courage, and perceiving that his assailants were all drunk, took this opportunity of forcibly striking the mare, when she darted forward, and carried her rider safe from his intended murderers. It is supposed thay had been to Buckland fair, and were proceeding to Bristol. They were dressed in blue jackets with dark facings, and blue pantaloons, with anchors on their buttons, black neck-cloths, and plain round hats. One of the robbers was peculiarly marked on the left cheek : and as the one trodden on by the mare will probably go lame, there are hopes that they may be discovered. The boy represents the man who held the knife to be tall, perhaps 5ft 10in; the other two about 5ft 6in.each; none of the party (who are suspected to be marines) were very young.
