To the Editor of the ller.vld. Sir, —Your contemporary must bo Lard up for filling stuff when be publishes the insane dvivellings of that unfortunate lunatic who calls himself James Cro"', Esq., and labors under the delusion that ha is a brother of the illustrious Gibbon. It is a melancholy reflection that a gentleman of his rank and position should be living in such a miserable place as Rangitoto, without a wife to console or a child to cheer his loneliness. Could nothing be done to bring him again within the pale of civilization, or is there no lunatic asylum that would admit the unfortunate until his natural protectors come to claim him.—l am, &c, Old Bob Ridley.
