RATS IN THE GARRET.
Sir, — " Quem Deua vult perdere prius dementat." I hope, however, such will not be the fate of your lunatic correspondent of the 14th, who signs himself " A Protestant, but not a Presbyterian." lam glad to perceive that in his madness he is not deprived of the periodical interruptions sometimes enjoyed by those children of Providence, and which medical men term lucid interval t, in one of which, of course, knowing discretion is the best pait of valor, he has concealed his name. So long as the officers of the law may deem it prudent to allow him to go at large, his friends should take great care of him, and t perhaps the sooner medical advice could be had the better.— Yours, &c, J. Cabden.
