Mr. Gzaesroaris has seldom spoken on a peat ques tion, at once of supreme national importance and urgent party interest, in •tone so calm, so tranquil, so subdued, yet so resolved. Addressing, after his manner, some imaginary friendly disputant on his own bench, and only once or twine—as when he doubted the consolation, the Amendment would bring to the Irish Church—bending over the table at the Treasury Bench, he seemed to be publicly working out for the satisfaction of his own conscience rather than for the confu sion of an adversary, the problem of religious, political, and social justice he bad come to solve. Lord STARLET'S reply was a performance more re markable than agreeable to witness. There is usually an imposing candour, a vigorous directness, a logi cal integrity and straightforwardness in the Foreign Secretary's oratorical manner, .which an unfortu nate disability of utterance renders all the more conciliatory and convincing, But last evening, whether he had prepared his copious notes on an erroneous basis—under the impression that Mr. GLADiTONE was ready to disestablish but not to disendow ; or whether the native hue of Mr. GLAD STONE'S resolution had sicklied o'er his own, he was hesitating, faltering, chilling, as if he knew not what course be was defending, what party, what policy, in the Cabinet or out ofs it, he stood there to advocate. If his speech suggested anything it was a divided govern ment at bay, and the delicacy and diffi culty of completing the education of dull colleagues before the eyes of the public. It was impossible not to feel for Lord STANLEY when the Souctroa-Ositzesz was humming out his ineffectual "case " in the attitude and tone of an intolerable nisi pries practitioner. The consequences of the extraordinary legal promo tion are beginning to recoil upon the Govern ment. Such an exhibition as the SOLICITOR GINEE.AL'S speech last evening was enough to move the heart of the bitterest member of the Opposition. If it bad been even tolerably good law, but this Mr. LAWSON showed it was not—if it bad been something resembling grammatical Eng lish, but this the mercy of the reporters will have corrected—the House might not have wel comed the eloquence of the third law officer of the administration with a buzz of talk, or • confused murmur, as of martyrs in a slow fire. Had this legal gentleman been a mere member of his party, and not a law officer, he would, let us hope, have had the grace to hold his peace. But party lawyers, to do them justice, do not go into parliament to be hearers only, even when they are incapable of finishing a sentence. Excepting, of course, Mr. GLADSTONE, the speech of Lord CLAN BORNE was the event of last evening. Lord CILANBORNE is become the Azez.vrs of the political stage ; be has retired from office saddened and in dignant at the contact he has suffered with offi cial minds. He has retired into the desert of ' independent opposition in search of public honesty and honour. The voice of one honest man in the desert is sometimes good to hear. No doubt Mr. DISRAELI prefers the ORONTES and the CLITANDRES. TILE BISHOP OF OXFORD ON SUNDAY SCHOOL& SOME sensible remarks which were mule • year or two ago by the Bishop of Orson]) in commisera tion of Sunday School children and their sufferings, struck the public mind like new truth, and a chorus of assent burst out in the secular press. His lordship has now returned to the subject, not in a speech, but in a calmly-con sidered paper, entitled " Our Sunday Schools—how " to use them." Assuming that these institutions are in a state of crisis, and that, in the Church of England schools at all events, there is a diminution in energy, he declines to attribute this to a slackening either in the religious zeal or educa tional ardour of the nation, but rather to the in crease in elementary day schools. But, however considerable the latter, there remains a special vocation for Sunday Schools, and the method of enabling them best to fulfil it, constitute • matter of serious interest. The Bmaor then goes on to urge that the character of the Sunday School should be one of rest. The teacher should never be the master of the day school, but one whose qualifications are " brightness, playfulness, " Power of sympathy, power of song, a "sort of bird of spring temperament." And for this reason paid teachers very seldom succeed. As to scholars : in Utopia, says the Butztoe, no young children would come to Sunday schools. Their presence encourages the parent in a self indulgent abnegation; it removes the children out of the family life ; and drives away those who are the absolutely proper subjects of Sunday-school teaching—the young men and women who have left the day school " The Chimpanzee in the Zoological Gardens," remarks the SHOWY, " was found to pine away " when he was put into the monkey house. His " more staid gravity would not bear the restless, " inquisitive , mischievous, undignified conduct of " his lesser brethren, and it is so with the elder and " the younger classes." But as we are not in Utopia, and the young ones cannot be can forth to the utter rudeness of the alley or the slum, let there be, at all events, absolute sepa ration. In discussing the treatment of the young children, the &tenor puts ins protest which we read with a great deal of sympathy, and which no doubt would be received by the whole army of little ones with • shrill cry of gratitude and delight. Observing that going to the place of worship is itself commonly a trial to their young thoughts, the &snot. adds with a warmth kindled no doubt by (he re collection of many • painful spectacle :--" It is " really astonishing, as well as utterly saddening, to " think how commonly these little victims are "exposed to treatment the exact reverse of all "this ; how they are seated on benches too high " for .their feet to reach the ground ; drenched " with dull lemons ; expected to sit quite still, " whilst it is as much s part of the nature " GOD has given them to be perpetually moving " every limb they have as it is the nature of " the bumbli-bee to buss as he flies by us ; " how, if, at the bidding of this their nature, " they fill into these incessant inurement', they " are seceded et by theseiesing fame, if they do "-not suffer from punishing fingers ; how they; maiming. =Ma Abp.* JAW* , Ostrow 4 Voting for the sale el spirituous and foramated liquors cestatise to semnsittise to be appointed a* the Egiyasway atosisoo, Sr every petty sissionsi divides, cook casessitte• to eon*t of not krr. than None ace of mere than ihe Judi's. of the pesos ; sad these smash's'. ate also to ban power to issue liesasse is bores& not having a separate grant of quarter assoions.

It is proposed to confer an important power upon local boards exercising " The Local (lovers meat Act, 1868," by enabling them to raise the rateable qualilleaties fee beer-house licenses by say sum not 'seceding 50 per cent of the amount sow by law required, within the jurisdiction of the local beard. An applicant for a license is not only to produce a certificate of rating signed by the overseer of his pariah, but also a certificate from the superintendent of polies, declaring that he has not been convicted of any crime or offence which would disqualify him • and one from the same authority, or from an officer of h ealth, to the effect that the Arno tura and sanitary condition of his house is satisfactory. Any person having • legal or equitable interest in • house may object to the granting of • license for it, and if notice of objection be given to the oom matte., it is to be conclusive against the granting or re newal of the license. In cease, too, where • license has not been previously granted, and an objection is raised by two-thirds of the owner, of property (or other persons having a greater interest therein than se mere temente) within one hundred yard' of the house for which • license is asked, the committee may refuse the application if they are of opinion that the establishment of • public' bosom would injuriously affect the value of the property within the limits prescribed. In cases where the grant or transfer of • license has, however, been refused, the right of appeal to the general quarter peones of the pease is given. Penalties are to be imposed upon applicants for forging certificates, and upon overseer, for refusing to grant them without reason able excuse. Three convictions under any act relating to the sale of limier' will be sufficient to disqualify any per son from thereafter holding • license, and in the event of two diequalifying convictions of successive occupiers of the same house within three years, no license of any descrip tion shell be granted in respect of the some house until at least ten years shall have elapsed since the old license was abolished. A clause has been inserted in the bill for prescribing the hour. of opening and closing public-houses; but Lord Lichfield has left the question of thus an open one, to be dealt with by parliament. By other clauses in the bill it is provided that • limns , holder may nominate • male person of full nge to represent him during the hours of business far the purpose of preventing drunkenness end enforcing order ; but if both the license-bolder and his attendant (whose name and residence are to be given to the superintendent of police) are absent at the mime time penalties are to be imposed unless upon inquiry reasonable excuse be given for such absence, and no violation of law or good order has taken plane. The attendant is to be made personally liable for offences committed by him or through his personal neglect. No female under 16 years of age is to be employed as • waitress. To prevent the advantages 'y enning from requiring Hoenig-holders to be rated toe cer tain amount from being defeated, it is provided that no pert of • bunged house shall be sob-let, nor shall may person be taken in sa • lodger or • boarder, excepting tra vellers and gusto. There ac several other important penal clauses is the bill, the objects of which we to chock drunkenness, to enforce good order, and to prevent crime. The publican rill, moreover, by liable to penalties if he permit servants or workmen to remain drinking in his bonne during the usual hours of work when that involves • breach of contract, and notice bu been given of the fact ; if he permit any person under the age of sixteen to have liquor, or remain in a licensed house after notice Las bean given to the publican not to supply or permit the same, by the parent, guardian, or other person with whom the youth resides ; and the publican will also be liable to a penalty if be supply liquor to • married woman, living with he r husband, after he hu received notice from the husband not to do so. The license bolder is, moreover, to be re. sponaible for the acts of his attendants. Por the more effectual oarryiag out of the sat the chief constables of counties and boroughs may appoint addi tional officers of the constabulary force to perform the offices of superintendents, whom' duties, in relation to this not, ars specified. Lord Lichfield's bill doss not effect the act for regu lating the licensing of refreshment houses and the grant ing of wine licenses; nor is it to extend to Ireland or Scotland, the City of London, or the metropolitan police district. The new measure respecting civil marriages in Austria requires only the imperial sanction to come into vigour, and there is no doubt that this fortnality will be speedily fulElled :—"We ere authorised to declare," says the General Correspon dence, " that the rumour of proceedings having been taken by the court of Rome to hinder the Sovereign from conaenting t as well as that of an autograph letter having been addressed with the same object by his Holiness to the Emperor, en entirely unfounded."

A SECOND EDITION of the EXPRESS, CONTAINING The Latest Foreign Telegrams ; the Latest City ; Railway, Mining, and other Shares ; Sporting, and General Intelligence, IS POILISHZD EVERY EVENING. LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 31. THE PIRST NIGHT OF THE DEBATE. Tnrss was considerably more animation and excitement in the precincts of the Palace of Westminster last evening than within the House of Commons. A great debate was ex pected with eager curiosity by crowds and groups of people, who, by a felicity of fortune for which they were probably not grateful, were permitted to imagine those elo quent speeches they were not condemned to hear. It can hardly be pretended that faith in parliamentary eloquence cometh by hearing. To judge by the admiring ardour of the public who trooped into Palace-yard or West minster-hall to set their eyes on the familiar features of their favourite statesmen and orators, anti to contemplate them in their daily habit as they live, faith in public men cometh by sight, and in some instances it must be a toter ablyrobust faith which can survive the shock of meeting a senator fees to face. To be sure the habitual sightseer is very apt to be a carefully misinformed person. Applying to moral gran dma- a conventional standard of greatness, he sometimes mistakes the line person of a ailent member for the minister or the orator he came out to me. Nor, indeed, within the House were the outward manifestations of a critical encounter altorrther wanting ; but we have seen more show and stir in the body of the House and en the galleries on occasions of less na tional moment than Mr. Gises,rorti.'s Resolutions on the Irish Church. Assuredly yesterday was no oanaston date in our parliamentary history, when the most popular and powerful of English statesmen came to make confession that the hour had Mae fur clearing away the last and the largest of the wrongs of Ireland, and for accomplishing the last and the largest of a long series of measures of tardy and reluctant justice. Nor as an ordeal of parliamentary battle was the debate which began yesterday at insignificant episode in a session. Vt was not one of those personal incidents which excite the malicious interest of Society. But it was beyond all doubt or denial a determined and derisive party fight, with ensigns held aloft and loaners in the wind ; a fight of parties, but still more of principles, of parties as the representatives of principles ; a fight to try the balance of parlia mentary power in this kingdom for years to come. Still, considering the circumstances and the causes of the contest, there was an almost listless and LW. guid air in the aspect of the House itself ; as if for the first, and perhaps the last, time in its exist ence, the call of honour could not be disobeyed nor the obligation of a conscience be disavowed. No doubt it is charseteriatic of an Eng lish political assembly, that it seldom betrays a consciousness that it is making history. This week, if ever, the House of Commons is making history, Yet to all outward appearance the visitors in the galleries felt the fact more keenly last night than the historians below. The preliminaries of the engagement, however were unusually dignified, and, like those perpetual alarums in the performance of SHAKESPEARE'S his toricdramas,more dignified than amusing. TheCleiks at the table figure as trumpeters, and like our modern renadier bandsmen in the costume of warriors of reign of King Benet . V., or King Joint, they eented to handle their instruments with an awkward sense of incompatibility. After the fifth article of the Act of Union, and the Coronation Oath of Wituam and Marty, a horrible doubt possessed the assembly for an instant whether Magna Charts (to which indeed the Soucrroa-Garmasx referred with easy grace at a later period of the evening) might not be called for by some ingenuous and in quiring ministerialist. The Coronation Oath was to all intents and purposes of the debate as appropriate as any " first lesson " that might have been selected from the daily services of the English Church ; and we may add that it was read in the polite and pleasing style of elocution in which a chapter from " Judges " is delivered from the lectern at afternoon service in a cathedral. Par hape it made the House feel serious. It certainly made members look grave. At all events, it sug gested to Mr. Grarerows in his opening sentences a point of contrast between "the solemn dutar " we are about to perform," and " a warfare of " trial and contrivance," which, Mr. GLAD:mows generously abstained from remarking, was invited by Lord STANZ•IfB amendment. Readers of Mr. GLADATONE'R speech will not fail to note not so much its lucid order of arrangement and its nom . prehenaive grasp, which belong to all his speeches, as its singular directness, simplicity, and sus reserve. Nothing is held back, nothing glanced public worship for a day when freedqivit =o* comes to them. toggestions for dealing with the older Bunor dwells on the importance of all conventional indignities, and does not omit to advise that in arranging the hour for their gathering, "it is well to Milt "so as not to interfere with the Sunday alternate. "stroll, which they will have ; for young men and "young women mast seat and • keep company' and " it is far better they should walk together openly "in the sunlight than be driven to evening " walks and twilight communications." We are not at all sure that the character of the instruction, DI defined by the Buntor, is sufficiently varied to secure the permanent attendance of the classes concerned ; but we are glad in any ease to see his lordship discussing a question of the kind in so liberal and humane a spirit. FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. THE paper just presented to Parliament of the number of persons convicted in the metropolitan parishes of having used false weights and measures during the first six months of last year is worthy of public attention. It is as remarkable for what it tells as for what it conceals. The information of conviction is confined to Finsbury, St. Meryl.- bone, St. Pancras, and Westminster; it will be seen, therefore, that vast districts of the metro polis are omitted. In the four districts men ' tioned 58 persons were • convicted in the Finsbury division of Middlesex, 112 in West- minter, 20 in Marylebone, and 30 in St. Pancras. The fines vary in amount from ss. to 51., but it is difficult to understand the principle uponwbich they are levied. It is reasonable enough that a defaulter should be fined more heavily for a second or third offence than for the first, but the scale of fines, as here set down, scarcely seems in accordance with this obvious rule. We observe, for example, a fine of 2/. for a first offence, and a fine of 12s. 6d. for a second, the occupation of the culprits being alike in both instances. But this return, although not wholly intelligible and very far from complete, has but too much signifi cance. The good faith of Englishmen was once proverbial. It was either a special virtue of the nation or it was believed to be so. But of late swindling, to use a blunt word, which, however, conveys no discredit in sporting circles, appears to have grown into a fashion. And this professional dishonesty is not confined to cul tureless tradesmen, but is to be met with, also, in eminent contractors, railway directors, bankers, and merchants. The disease is so widely spread that it is difficult to avoid the taint, and it is disease which is not likely to be cured without some violent remedy. If everybody ceases to trust his neighbour, society will be at a stand-still, and we shall be forced to turn honest in self-defence. Fines upon knavery are no doubt serviceable, but unfortu nately they rarely touch the worst defaulters. By all means let us do what we can to punish the crime of using false measures and weights, but do not let us forget that there are even worse forms of dishonesty against which the law is at present powerless. The corruption of the lower walks of society is no doubt due in large measure to the corruption which pervades the higher. • THE feeling of dissatisfaction with Lord Smear- Lar's amendment existing amongst the minis terialists is faintly expressed in a substituted amendment of which Sir HIGIVRY Hayes has given notice. The hon. baronet the member for Coleraine proposes to insert in the amendment of the FOREIGN blizturrita words by which the House is made to declare that it " considers that any expression " of opinion by it on the Established Church of ire " land would be premature until the Commission " appointed to consider the matter has laid itsreport " upon the table of the House, more especially as a " dissolution must precede practical legislation." Lord STANLEY is ready to assume that " consider " able modifications " may be necessary as the result of what he has termed, to the discomfort of Mr. GrAnsroxa's literary sense, " the pending inquiry ;" but the Protestant member for Coleraine protests against even this, and insists that the fairest course is to say nothing about the Church at all. Perhaps by the end of the week some Tory member, we would suggest Colonel &tsar KNOX, may have summoned up courage enough to propose a vote of confidence in the institution.

The Press. speaks of a manifesto from the Em peror as likely to appear in the Monittur before the Chamber meets again, in the form of a letteraddressed either to the Minister of State or the Minister of the Interior. This news appears to me very probable. The present situation is too insipid to last long, and if it be true as everybody says, that war is happily " impossible," something theatrical in regard to home politics is very forcibly " indi cated." The Prance, defending the Jesuits against the repetition of what it calls a vulgar charge against them, that they are the prompters of moat of the illiberal acts of the Pope, says incidentally that a very proximate nomination of the Archbishop of Paris to the dignity of Cardinal will refute, in the most practical manner, the rumour that the Jesuits have stood in the way of his elevation. The Prase affirms that the Cabinet of the Tuileries has addressed a note to that of Vienna, inquiring whether it would be disposed to join France in demanding a revision of the treaties of 1815. A " simple diplomatic protest " against the recent Russian decree, obliterating the very name of Poland, is all that France proposes at present on that head. The Bourse continues firm, and it is not doubted that the " bean" will be signally defeated at the ripurise des primes to-morrow. Rente closed for account, a rise of 2fc., at GM. 30c. Italian rose 35c., and Mobilier 2f r. 50c. There was little change in other securities. At the general meeting of the Gas Company to-day M. Emile Pereire was not re-elected a director. A FRENCH " ARTIST." A man named Riche was charged at Paris a day or two ago, before the magistrate, with being a vagabond. The Magistrate—What are you? Prisoner—An artist. Magielante—This is the third time during 15 months that you have been in prison. Prisoner— Ah ! to be sure ! I gave myself up when I had neither house nor bread. Magistrate—You say you are as artist. Wh►t art do you practise ? Priaoaer— I was with a quack dentist for 14 months. I left him on the 15th February, because be p vs me little or nothing. Magistrate—Well, what did you perform for this charla tan f—Yesie Prisaaar—No, hfaasaleer, I was hia patient. Magiatrate—What do you mesa ? Priierter —Yon see It was absolutely neormary to get clients. He had to permed' people that he could extract teeth without pain, and as this was not to be done he had to employ a decoy. Well then, I represented sometimes a peasant, sometimes a workman. I was se►eral times • woman and also • soldier. This was the way to do beings ; for, you see, if I did not disguise myself I should soon be known. I stood amongst the crowd—• simple listener to the Are promises of my palms, who waossplaining, like fun, how, having studied phrase, metaphysice, optics. and matheasaties, he was aow able to extract teeth with • sabre, with • key, with • pip•.stem, a two-sou plies, or in fact anything. There upon he invited any bystander who was suffering from • bad tooth, to come forward, at the same depositing 50 frauds, be be gin= swig if he did not take out the tooth without musing pain. i lt was I, you undentand, who same forward. Magiatrsab—Aad you had all your teeth askant oat ? - - - Prisoner—Ah, Monsieur, no ! It was a Assn. I had • false tooth which I put iato m 7 swath before stepping up to my petroa. That was the tooth he always pulled out. Magiskat—And Is that whet you e•ll being an artist _ _ Prisovier—Phsw 1 You losiw—lie but ► ward. Magistrara—Yea MIK p is pima far a walk. ''l r ALLEGED OVER-WORK AND INSUPPRIEST DIET IN A PRISON. IMPORTANT INVESTIGATION. —(THIS DAY.) This morning Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex Coroner, held as inquiry at the Leigh Hoy Tavern, Slu e . end Newtown, Mails. Se the death, furs alleged ge e , lap in prison, of Rdward Barrett, aged 18 years. The first witness called was Miry Ass Barrett, who said that she was the :gnu of the dammed, and lived at 23, Devonshire-street, Cow. aereial-read. The deceased was • carpenter; he did not live with witness. At Christine" last he was strong a n d well. On the 26th February she learned that he had been sent to prison for two months, and that hie t erm was up. She had heard nothing of the affair before. She believed he was imprisoned for the theft of seine scams. She went to the prison to meet him coming out. She found him no to nger healthy sad shwas. He was so weak th a t be had o I on her arm—he is on her arm he av ily. He told her th at he had bees very ill in prison. He said that he was s o ill that he was enable to work, and he was sentenced to two days or three days (she could not tell which) on bread and water because he could not work. It was the prison system that caused his death. He was found dead in bed on Thursday last. Charlotte Maxwell deposed that she kept a lodging. house at No. 1, George-street, Spitalfields. The deceased lodged with her before an d after he was imprisoned. B e was in good health before he went to prison. lie was very ill indeed when he cams out. He said that h. was stoned in prison and that he could nt d t oto the work oa the wheel. He had to come down off i t , and h e . plained to the doctor, who " accordingly " put him ea bread and water. He said he had been five days out of seven ese bread and water. Witness found him lying on his back dead, last Thursday, and she sent for the polle e who brought the police surgeon. Coroner— How did he live since he CMG out of prism! Witness—Well, all those that knew of his cam wer e very kind to him and gave him every kind of n our i s h ment, such as meat, wine, ke., that th e y could get. lie could not work since he came out. Coroner—Perhaps you may have iome other lodger. that were unfortunate. Do you know what WU their state upon coming out of prison ? Witness rafter a little hesitation)—There is one. He CMG out last week in • very bad state. He was in for two months, and be was well before he went in. I know of some four or five in the neighbourhood who have also been made ill by the treatment. There was a man named Collins, who died from it last week. They say that Mimi. sonment now is simply killing them. The coroner directed a sergeant of police to go and find the discharged prisoner spoken of by Dila. Maxwell, arid av others that might be about. kr. G. Baxter.j'hillips, police surgeon, said that helwas 'called in to the deceased after death. The post-mortem examination showed that death resulted from an effusion of blood into the lungs from a cavity the edges of which were adherent to the pleura. There were tubercles in the lungs. The body was anom.eic and emaciated. lie should consider that the deceased had consumption for two years, sad that his state must have been apparent months put. He was unfit, witness should arty, to work en the tread. mill. James Thomas Weston sworn, and he gave the follow ing evidence with apparent truthfulness. He said I live at Maxwell', lodging-house. I was imprisoned at Cold bath-fieldsfor two months. I wan well and hearty when I went in. I became very ill on the wheel twice. The first time I rot two days bread and water, and the wooed time two days bread and water. I could hardly stand when I came out, and I am now attending Devonshire.square Hospital for weakness and shortness of breath. (He handed in the hospital letter.) It was the prison, and nothing else, made ore iIL I knew deceased and Collins before they went in, and they were both in good health. Culling is dead now. He died before I came out last Tuesday. It was the treatment that did fur Coroner—How long are you on the wheel ? Witness—From half-past six in the morning, sir, till five at night, half an hour off and quarter on. When I complained of Hines", and saw the doctor, he ordered me bread and water. At least he does it this way—he says, "Go on, there is • nothing the matter with you, and the warder puts that In a book, and you go up before the g t o wA v e ero jt or roryl who —Hut andst o , o doubt h g en ti na th o the wheel e l withoutyo u would glad to get off the wheel on any kind of excuse! Witness—Yes, they would, and so would you as any body if you were half starved, and could not stand the work. They have to work without anything till 8 o'clock. Then they get 1 pint of gruel end 6 or. of bread. The same, 1 pint of gruel and 6 or. of breed is given for dinner on Mondays ' Thursdays, and Friday'. Oa Tuesdays and Saturdays the dinner is Nola. of potatoes, 4ou. of meat, and tam of bread. On Sunday the dinner is 1 pint of soup and 6oza. of bread. For supper at 5 o'clock they get half a pint of gruel and Lion. of bread. me Coroner said that the food deposed to could not be said to be enough to enable a man to get through bard labour. A Juror—Does not the doctor in the prison examine you when you complain ? Withers—He only examines you by looking at you. You have to tell the warder what is the matter with you, and lie is supposed to put it in a book and show it to the doctor, who ails in a chair and looks at you. I com plained of shortness of breath and pains aorom the back. Corcner—What were you imprisoned for? Witness— I was sent in for knocking a man down. After a pause the witness added, as if resolved to make a clean breast of everything, " And taking 12s. rid. away from him." George Adams, 33, Flower-and-Dean•street, mid that be was a weaver. He had been imp lamed for three months in Coldbath-fields prison and he came eat on Friday morning last. (He detailed the kind of food given in precisely the same terms as Thomas.) He was suffering from illness when he went in. lie came of the wheel through illness. For seven weeks he had only re pint of gruel and 6 ounces of bread for sapper. He had no meat at all given him for those seven weeks. He was under medical treatment during that time. He was excused the wheel through weakness after that. The weakness was from the diet, end nothing more. Coroner—Was the bread end gruel gives to you as punishment? Witness—l do not know sir, but it was punishment to ma I was so weak when I came out that I had to be Id oat, and could not work since. When under the doctor I was examined every Monday. He only sounded we when I came out. I had pains in my lungs and heart when I erne out I had nothing of that kind when I went in. I was impr isoned for loitering, not for robbery. I was in ones before for a common assault, committed when I was drank. Thos. Smith, 19, TLrawl-street, that he had no trade, for his parents died when he was you i.e. He same out of Coldbath-fields a month ago. (He rearmed the evidence of Thomas as to the diet given.) He was well when be went in ; now he was going to the hospital. • fortnight before he mane out he complained of his side. The doctor said, "It is nothing," and be was obliged to work on the wheel until he came out. When lir. rated he could hardly walk home, he had to era wL He went to the hospital at MOIL He and all the prisoner' had to pick oakum after doing the ten hour a day on the wheel. If the oakum was not properly picked, ).read and water was given for one or for two days. Witness got bread and water two or three times for coining of the wheel through weakness. He bad been blistered all over the left side at the hospital, when the doctor said that he was very bed. (The hospital letter was banded in.) By the Cormier—Witness had been in for twelve months before. He was not *mad in health b that, for he got Snit-chum diet. It was not the lea of term, but the starvation that did the mischief. All fen three months get second-class diet. Those in for fourteen days got third-deem diet—gruel and bread alone. He was en for piaking Blake,Hoary36 Flowerand•Deen-street, deposed that he wee a tailor. He came out of Coldbathdields, on Friday bet, after Um months' imprisonment. He got the roond.elass diet.
