Oestlenten,—We address you without apology; we me men depending, like yourselves, for one support smear industry, and the j udicious employment of capital Wrest* under similar difficulties and burdens, sad at this twee are raffering from a general stagnates tel _deposlea of commercial affairs, only less severe the diatedat is geese leg ruin among the agriculturist& We me aware et se lo ured, conscious of no intention, opposite even the wallet delves to the welfare of the tenant fame, or of any clam living by industry in this great mewl and we, therefore willingly embers* the opp ortunity to Ger you, in all friend ship sad Finality, • few words of hearty sympathy in the Wean of distress, and earnestly to invite yuu to inquire with us how it happen that, in • country so rich in ail materials and teethes for the acquisition and employ ment of wealth, labour should so often fail el caning its due reward, skill, plan and contrive in vela, end capital, even when prudently directed, be lost or frill fend away, instead of bringing in a fair return for its ma. ployment. Believe ao, you would be muck in error, were you to imagine that men of business enjoy any teammate, from the risks, burdens, and difficulties whisk have here tofore, sad do now, so fatally affect you Except in so far u they may arise out of the panne of your agreeneats with year landlords, we share fully fa them all, awl have may from which you ere exempt. Oar maws nfferinp have, we firmly believe a common origin, sad must be relieved by the same relied, • it is time for all who live by labour to eaderstaad and * assist sack ether. We are aware that same of those to whom way of you have hitherto looked for counsel end dinette, attribute the existing state of agricultural distress to the repeal of the corn laws, or to the pressen of certain real or imaginer, bares', whisk ere stated to fill with peculiar widen upon the tenant farmer ; while ether, more reasonably complain of the malt and hop duties. But sinealtural tress, similar, sad even more iateese, occurred repeats* while the corn laws were in full operation, as the repeats of various committees of both houses of parliament are yet la existence to tastily. While, instead of being unduly taxed. either for national or heal purposes, beyond the inhabitants of towns, the hewn are expressly amapted from several oppressive ad lemming imports—es the window-tax, ated duties on horse, mgr, and insurancee—which are borne by every other class la the country ; and neither for pours Me nor for highway rate are their payments is seamed ealltieg like so heavy, in proportion, as in towns; Wigs waldis these charges being known beforehand, neat bo memilered la making an agreement, and thus might to fall la inseminate upon the rent. That the malt and hop duties are a grievous burden upon a most important domestic trade; that they throw some barley land entirely eat of cultivation, and make unprofitable the occupation of much more ; and that their repeal would, therefore, to some extent, improve the position of farmers holding info land under unexpired leases, we folly admit. We believe, also, that though duties upon semsodities fall principally epos the consumer, they generally, at the same time, seriously lessen, and frequently destroy altogether, the profit of the producer or importer. We shall, *tre foils, gladly aid you, as far as may be pesedeable, to pro cure Q,e removal of these obnoxious impute ; but we me nu perceive that any g e lor twang improvement la the condition of the tenant farmers, or their labourers, is likely to result from their repeal alone; and we should deceive you grossly , were we to lead jou to imagine that such • measure can, with any appearance of pro bability, be expected, as a first step in financial reform, or, in our opinion, which possesses any peculiar ekes to suck a pees.

We believe that the principal mese of the frequent return of periods of distress, like the present, among the tenant farmers, is to be found in the short and aseertaia tenure by which their land is generally held, and the arbitrary and unreasonable restrie does apes cultivation ; or, in other wordy, upon the skill end enterprise el the cultivator, too generally insisted on by the landowsen; that such candidate could never be exacted Weise party, nor sob -lined to by the other, bet for the examin eempetitiou for farms--enabling the one to im pose, aatlthiving the other to concede any terms, however unjust, or toner! to the real interest of both. And we are of opinion that this sempetition is greedy aggravated by the present system el taxation, whereby the poor are practically forbidden to enjoy many of the comfort. and even nue& series of life ; the field for the employment of talent and in dustry is miserably li end thus, as ono effect, among many other uall dap arable, Graters ore 'annually rising up, who, from abesete inability Aid other tweaps tion will cowed he heath th e baba oak we not say the probable aides* rethe—of a tenese-at will, with a re emielive gam.-p o re s sp agreement.

Mr. lushes Jackson—Will you be ea goad, then, Mr. Sheriff, as to request the attendance of the jury is their box. In • few minutes the jury came into court, and having answered to theft names, were asked by the clerk of the crown if they had agreed to a verdict ? The foreman regied that they had not agreed, nor was there any likelihood of their doing so. Mr. Justice Jackson—Then, gentlemen, the only coarse to be taken is, that you should retire again to your chamber, and discuss the =MN?, and consider of thii verdict that ou ought to Sad. We will come down to court in the morn ing, in order to receive any verdict you may arras to in the meantime; or a bear bern you whetheriliere is any Lase& hood of your coming to an agremaant.

Mr. Janice Jackson—Yon may qualify it solar as to Sad a verdict on some of the counts and acquit too plow as ilia others. The F mentan—Couldwo not qualify it in some other way ? Mr. Justice Moore—No, gentlemen, you swot. The jury then retired, and the court was adjourned to ten o'clock this earning. Wnen Mr. Duffy was about being removed from the be., a number of gentlemen, who were sear Or desk, rushed for- ward, shook hauls with him, and warmly . non she result of the trial so far. A loge sm illilla ntreg i ttrr• sons were cdected in the neighbourhood of the court, and about the doers; and when the fact of the disagreement of the jury was unsound, they gave expression to their feel ings of gratifies ion in loud and enthusiastic' cheers. T.rd iy the jury were discharged, it having been ascertained that a majority were for Mr. Duffy's acquittal. The jedge'm charge had, it is said, a gr. at effs c' on the jury. The following appears in a second edition of the Presman's Journal : A medical gentleman (Dr. Manersvp) having sworn that one of the jurors (Mr. Wright) was and that fanner armistaielits wdght be dasgassas es his lila, 'AY; jury woe 7-eatPlior•r(°,ll.ll44- hays Illsaturdslicitheat a he attorsey.Gesami comeatsd, on the pert of the clown, that Mr. Duffy should be admitted to bail oa eafilcient security, himself in 1,0001, and two sureties in 5001. moll.

Whatever may bethought of the jurors, the conduct of the judges threughent this case at its several trials, has been seek sate raise the &greeter of the bench. Oa the lest trial the charge of Mr. Justice Ball was universally admired as a mut/apiece of judicial ability, and yesterday, Mr. Justice Jackson delivered • very cabs and digoilled charge, carefully indicating to the jury the leading features of the ewe at both sides. One of the persons (Mr. Kelly) who stated that the jury were equal divided, was a prominent member of the Repeal iatios, and used to be in the chair. It is right to remark that general surprise has been felt at the weakness of the proofs of Mr. Duffy's handwriting. One of the witnesses, Lowe, wen de clared unworthy of credit open his oath; another, Mr. Butler, had not seen Mr. Duffy writs for several years ; and a third witness admitted that on former cc:miens he had been mistaken as to Mr. Duffy's handwriting. In fact the strongest proof against the prisoner (if such language can be used) war, as the SoliCtor-Gneral said, his abstaining from calling friends to prove that it was not his handwriting ! As the case wee put yesterday to the jury,the author ship of two of the strongest articles imputed to Mr. Duffy was placed upon another person—the young lady so often alluded to. LORD CLARENDON —ADXOIIIB.—A rumour is again abroad (says the Evening Mail) that Lord Clarendon con templates ea immediate retirement from the administration of Irish affairs.

We attach no credit to the report, red there is reason to sup pose that the private esaetar7 %Wetly disbelieves London correspondent of the F reeman's Journal, communi cates a formidable rumour, no len than that Lord Clarendon is to be impeached. It has bean stymied (be says), at the suggestion of one of the Irish liberal members, and with the concurrence of several of the English and Irish representa tives, that Lord Clareaden's conduct at the Irish-ofßoe, is re ference to Mr. Duffy's ease, when the deputation waited on Isis a few days mince shall be brought before parliament and made the subjec t matter of investigation immediately after the Easter reser. His excellency was apprised imme diately after this determination on Wednesday afternoon. SCOTLAND. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—IRTitgiORS from the Univer•ity of Edinburgh, the corporation of the city, and its Royal Society, have been addreated to the British Associa- tion, eugteeting that the meeting of that body for the year 1850 shall be held in the northern metropolis. WALES. EXECUTION OF JAMES GRIFFITHS FOR MURDER. - --- This convict suffered the extreme penalty of the law, in hunt of Brecon County Gaol, on Wednesday last, at 10 o'clock in the formals, in the presence of an immense concourse of people, variously estimated at from ten to twelve thousand individuals, nearly half of whom were females. The crowd appeased very nearly as large se on the occasion when Thomas Thomas war executed, about four years since. The numbers were then estimated at from twelve to fifteen thou sad The river Tarell flowed between the spectators and the scaffold, the avenue Wog guarded by the police. The prisoner walked by the aide of Calmat, the Newgate exesationer, and mounted the steps to the plat torte without any Insistence. He was a Rood looking youth (aged 18 years), and appeared but little altered, with the exception of being rather pale. On his way from the condemned cell he had repeatedly urged Caleraft to be quick, and to lose no time in covering his face when on the scaffold, and his wish was fully complied with, for all the dreadful preparations wen over, and the bolt drawn, In a couple of minutes. He died, apparently, in half a minute, though there was some slight convulsive move ment niche muscles visible for a minute or two after. The Rev. D. Price, chaplets of the pool, was most persevering in his attentions to the sonviet. The prisoner made two coca' reenieatious to Mr. Price, which be afterwards admired es him to be untrue, and stated that before his essential' be would make a full statement, which promise he kept. He told Mr. Lazenby that he was guilty of stealing the dl. note from a former muter, for which he had been um lined in Hereford gaol, though he was discharged from wain' of evidence. He also informed him that several plans had been laid, by the prisoner, for trial at the last assizes, to (overpower the turnkeys and to break out of prison; they wanted him (Griffiths) to lead, arguing that, as his life was already in sufficient jeopardy, the danger could be of no amount to him. With ariew to terrify him into this, as he 'unposed, some of them even advised him to commit suicide, if he could not escape, in preference to suffering public execu tins. One of their number also, who had been in prison before, wished to persuade tho others that the fire anns of the officers were not loaded with bell ; but, on being asked to lead himself he declined. On Tuesday, at the request of the convict, Mr. Lay 'shy. governor of the gaol, took down the following confession, from his dictation, in the presence of the lord lieutenant of the county (who happened to visit the gaol at the time), and the chaplain : Ccndemeed Cell, Brecon County Gaol, April 10, 1849, 2 p.m.—The chaplain having read a note to me, in which it was imputed that Jane Morgan was the cause of my having murdered Thomas Edwards, and being desirous of clearing Jane Morgan, who knew nothing at all of it, I request Mr. Lazenby, the governor, to say in my behalf, and especially for the sake of an innueet girl, that the report is entirely false u regards her, end that myself alone committed the deed, and that it was wilfully done, and without my having had any quarrel when I did it, hut solely for the sake of go.- "mint what he had. I watched my opportunity, and struck him down with the au, and repeated the blows until I thought he was dead. I ecenmeneed my attack upon him in the chaff room, whilst he was stooping, and afterwards dragged him to the dung-heap, with the intention of hiding his body under the dung, I believed him to be dead at the time, but Elistbeth Phillips, coming out of the house to fetch water, disturbed me, when I threw the pitchfork I had in my heeds over into the garden. I accompanied Elizabeth Paillips a lit& way towards the brook, and turned back twain, and went this the house, upstairs, and gathered up Thomas Edwards', *Onus, and threw them out of the win dow. As soon as I had done this, Elisabeth Phillips called me to come down stain. as there was something is the yard by the garden door. I said to her, " What do you think there is there 1" When she asked me to come along and eft what was there I went with her to the dangheap, and said I did not know what was there. when she turned back with me to fetch a lanthorn to look again. She went into the house and Ito the back of it, and picked up the clothes, which I tied .n a bundle and started off for Merthyr. I went wreathe hills, on the side next the road. I got on to the road, where there are two public-house, where 1 had victuals and drink; from thence I went straight to Merthyr. I got there between 10 and 11 in the morning. I stopped there until Tuesday evening. I lodged at a public-house anent Mr. Crawshay's works. I was out on Saturday night in the market, and on Sunday was oat with two or three young chaps about the works. I walked about on Monday and i Tuesday, when I heard it reported what bad happened at Conagoody. I immediately started off for Swansea, where I remained one night, end on the following morning went gm baud a steamer far Bristol. I paid five shillings for the out of the money I took from Thomas - Edwards. =I got to Bristol I stopped there a day or two, Mem went to Bath, then to Salisbury, sod walked :=6,2e turnpike road to Southampton, where I about a week. From there I went to Win dmills at which plant I stopped but one night; from tim les started for London, where I stayed two or three days; then I went to Colchester, from there to Ipswich, and stopped there from Friday to Wednesday' then went to ' Stovrourket, where I was taken up for g a cake, in company with an Irish boy, and was committed to Ipswich county gaol. I heard at Colchester that there was a reward tiered of 501. by the government, and 501. by Colonel Wat kins, M.P., for lay apprehension ; as soon as I heard It I changed my clothes, as I barlbefue done twd or three times. The exact money I took from Thomas Edwards was one sovereign in gold and eight shillings in silver. I took • frock coat, two waistcoats, one silk huffikerchlef, a pair of blue striped cloth trousers, and a shirt, the same as was found upon me, as was likewise one of the wain assn. The bloody marks upon the waistcoat was awed by a bit of liver I had from a bu:cher'e shop. I first thought of killing Thomas Edwards a week before I did it. I never had any quarrel of any account with him: he was always a quiet led, but passionate. I declare te God that I am sorry for what I have done, and I hope for mercy and forgiveness through my Redeemer. I have had, since my imprisonment, the best attention sad treatment; the governor has been very kind to me, also the chaplain and the magistrates, who have kindly visited me. I wish to add that all the witnesses who appeared spinet me spoke the truth; and what I have now stated to the governor Is the whole truth, as I wish to be saved. As wins, my muk. his JAMES 14 GRIFFITHS. mark. N.B. Ism very Pin for what I said before to the chap lain. which usenet true ; but the above statement is perfectly true. After he had mentioned the manner in which the murder was emoted he breams greatly agitated, and did n 4 utter a word far half an hour. PROVINCIAL LANCAs FIRS. —A cotton warehouse ittn in E.

ROZBIICK.—The Sheffield Zines of Saturday emeetr " several inaccuracies which appeared in • former paper relative to Mr. John Arthur Roebuck. Mr. Roebuck was not born in Canada, but at Madras, where hie father held an appointment in the eivilservice of the East India Cam pany op to the time of his death. Mr. Roebuck came to England in 1807, and his mother, who maul. el a second time, went with her husband and f amily to Caned', whence Mr. J. A. Roebuck returned in 1524, determined to devote himself to politics. In 1831, Mr. Tiger, the agent of the Assembly of Lower Canada, wan desirous of retiring from his post, and he neon* advised the Assembly to eppoiat Mr. Roebuck as his eacceesor. The fitness of this appoint ment was obvious. Mr. Roebuck was familiar with the history the laws and the stamen of the Canadians, and had written with ' pea: ability on their grievances. Ho was therefore appointed, wholly without solicitation either on the part of Massif or any of his friend/. One more inaccuracy remains to be noticed. Mr. J. A. Roebuck's mother was the daughter of Richard Ticket], the direct lizard descendant of Addison's friend, and author of many very tameable but ephemeral poems, and • much talked of pamphlet entitled ' Anticipation.' He was a man of fashion, brother-in law of Richard Musky Sheridan, and a whig, though a friend of Lord North, by whom he was made • Commissioner of Bankrupts and alto of Stamps and Taxes." MORD= OP A MI247IYI7treSON.—A murder ham been discovered to have been committed upon a poor old pensioner, named Job Deasy. The crime was committed u far bock es December last, end the body of the natorranate men was hand on New Year's Eve, in a brook clots by the Viotoriebridge, Glossop. The circumstances connected with the case were at the time considered to be very mysterious, but no evidence mild be procured to implicate any party, though rumour was busy, end pointed to members of the deceased's own family, who were known frequently to quer rel with and ill use the old man. On Good Friday, how ever, a man named John Clough disclosed that he saw the man murdered and thrown over the Victoria-bridge. Infor matioa having reached. Mr. Clayton, the chief wadable, he last week 'pretended Thomas Hooey, the etCol4lolra son, end W. Dawson, his son-in-law. They were, on Wednesday last, taken before the magistrates, when John Clough, on being swore, stated that en the 30th et last December, about 10 o'clock at night, be saw the primmer, Thomas Dov along with another men, whom he believed to be William Dawson, oe the Victoria-bridge. The deceased was at that time welkin, in treat of wham. The prisoner, Deng. evaght hold of 3tis father, and said, "Yon old rogue, I'll strike you." He then gave hints blow on his head, ea knocked hint down, when the other man kicked him over the head. His son then cried out, We will finish him now." After which he kicked his faller twice on the breast. Witness and his wife went up and inquired what they were doing, when they cried out, " If they did cot go back they would serve them the same." They then went away, and as they were going they saw the prisoner Dotey, and the other man e throw the deceased over the bridge. Witness had known the prig en Doxey abut two years, and was quite certain that he was one of the men he saw murdering the deceased ,bat he did not now believe Dawson was the other one. That patty was somewhat stouter. The reason he did not mention the matter till Good Friday was, be cause he thought the murderers wool I do him some harm. The prisoner Dem had cautioned him not to say anything about is, and told him if he did he should lose his life. The prisoner Dorey was fully committed for wilful murder; but Dawson was discharged, his family proving that he wee at home when the murder etas committed. --- MEETING OE FARMERS.—On Saturday there was a numerous meeting at the Three Cups Inn, Colchester, " for the purpose of considering the best means to be adopted for removing the unprecedented depression sad alarm under which the agric ultural and ell other industrial classes are now suffering . " Mr. Robert Baker, the chairman of the County Protection Society, presided, and resolutions were moved and seconded by the Mayor, Mr. C. H. Hawkins, timber-merchant, Mr. Written, wholesale grocer, George Round. Esq., and John Baer-tree, Bsq , bankers, the Rev. John Con, the Rev. J. M. Smythees, Mr. John Ambrose, tenant-fanner, The burden of the speeches and re solutions was the visionary hope of a return to protection; but there were come few allusions to relief measures of • more tangible character, such as the removal of specific burdens and • reduction in the national expenditure.—The Chairman said, • secondary part of the question before them was as to the repeal of the malt tax and an abrogation of taxation. If the government refused to give them a protective duty, they had a right to demand the liberty of dealing as they liked with their own produce, es as to enable them to make malt as they pleased, and to use it in any way they liked, without the interferer. ce of the excise or the imposition of a tsz upon an article of such general conenspeioz.—Mr. John Taylor (proprietor of the Essen Standard) wished to propose a resolution calling for a national poor rate and the alteration of the present law of parochial settlement, which he submitted would afford a great relief to the farmer; but the Chairman thought the subject was not sufficiently connected with the object for which the meeting had been called, and, on a show of hands being taken, the majority was against its being put.—Mr. Gordon liehow (the gentleman who contested the last county election in the wr ig interest) said he was aware there were different views to be taken of the malt tax, but he would advocate its being got rid of, in order that the poor might not be deprived of a wholesome beverage, and the farmers relieved of a very serious burden. But there was another subject still more important, and which he regretted had not been touched upon is the petition—viz., the exercise of greater economy in the public expenditure of the country. If present prices were to prevail, persons connected with the land must suffer great privations—or, at any rate, • great curtailment of the luxuries and comforts of life he therefore main tained that if the landed and agricultural interest must descend in the scale of society, others ought to go down with them, or at any rate that those who were re ceiving handsome incomes from the public money ought to have those incomes proportionately reduced. (Hear, hear.) Entertaining that view, and which he believed to be shared by very many of those present, he should take the liberty of moving an addition to the petition proposed to be adopted, which he would read, viz , " And your petitioners also humbly pray that the pay of all persons receiving the public money, whose militias or pensions are not determined by act of parliament, may be reduced to the standard of the year, 1793." That was the period before the war; and as the subsequent increase of public salaries was on account of the greatly enbeaced price of the necessaries of life, now that that state of things no longer existed, he submitted that it was only fair they should be reduced to their former level. , The proupition was seconded by Mr. Taylor, and carried by 'reclamation. The meeting wee afterwards addressed by Sir John Tyrell and Major Bertsford, the members for the division, and Sir 0. H. Smyth, But., M.P. for Colchester. It was then resolved that the petition should be signed by the chairman in behalf of the meeting, and • complimentary vote having been passed to that gentleman, the proceedings terminated. THE CONTICT SARAH HARRIET THOMAS, who was convicted at the late Gloucester-hire assizes of the wilful murder of her mistreat, Miss Jefferies, at Bristol, now lies in the gaol of the last named city, awaiting the execution of the extreme sentence et the law, which is fired to take place at 10 o'clock on the morning of Friday next. Her MI1112(111 remain much the same es immediately after conviction, although somewhat more restless end anxious. The chaplain of the gaol visit:slier theism daily for the purpose of assisting her to prepare her mind for the change which awaitaber. Several of the clergy, the Society of Friends, and others, are using efforts with the Home Secretary, to induce him to recom mend her Is ejesty to exercise the royal prerogative of mercy by commuting the extreme 'outface of death to one of true portetion, bat up to the present time there Gams to be too little reason to hope for any favourable result. A report has been circulated in Bristol that the wretched girl had made a full confession of her guilt to the chaplain (Dr. Swete), but it is altogether destitute of truth. The &Waring is the memorial adopted by the Society of Friends :—" The memo rialists have learned with sorrow that Sarah Thomas cow lies in the gaol of this city under sentence of death for murder. That, without calling in question the justice of the verdict (although founded only on circumstantial evidence), they submit that there are circumstances in this case which at least warrant, if they do not rather cell for, the extensim of the royal mercy. Thee are, first, her youth, she bring little more Urea 18 years of age ; the deobt whether the act was a premeditated mu, and whether it might not have been com mitted under eirmusstaness of strong provocation from a woman of violent tamper ; also, the unanimous rec'm mendation to mercy by the jury who found her guilty. The memorialists', in thus respectfully submitting the present as a fit subject for the extension of the royal mercy, do not wish it to be understood that they admit the lawfulness or policy of publicereattions in say cue." Two members of the body (Mr. 8. Capper and Mr. S. Bowden) waited en the Earl Fitshardinge, as Lord Lieutenant of the county of Glouces ter and city of Bristol, and besought his lordship's interest with the Home Secretary in behalf of the wretched girl. Lord Fitzbudinge, however, stated to the deputation that he could not concur in the prayer of the memorial, although be was willing to transmit it to the Home-office, for which purpose it was left in his lordship's hands. CHANNEL ISLANDS. THE UNSTAMPED NEWSPAPERS.—A correspondent from Guernsey says:—The order from the Poet Office to charge Guernsey gad Jersey papers with postage, which ar rived here on Thursday, engird astonishment. It took parties by eurprise,beo ins. no one ever dreamt *atm& en order would be issued. The Guernsey Sear says that it will prove a serious grievance to the inhabitants of Jersey and Guernsey, and a fatal injury to the proprietors of every journal pub lished in the islands. The order wasevideutly put in force in Jersey, for not a paper arrived here fat England. In this island the post-office authorities allowed the papers to go free by this mail (Friday's) for the last time. The etteensey Sear had calculated on a great sale, on account of having a full report of the court-martial on Captain Douglas. The trial lasted 11 days. The judgment of the court is not known yet. Mr. Warren, the author of " Ten Thousand a year," assisted Captain Douglas in his defence. The trial excited much interest, and the defence was ingenious. The English mail will be excessively heavy from Guernsey—the largest ever known. CLERICAL. • PRIPERMIDTTL—Rev. T. T. Cmcavosr, to the the pthreaehofsr ship in Roams:suet church, by dea the Rev. T.

Her speed was 121 knots an hour, or rather MIT 14 miles, which is not so much as was expected from her, con sidering that she is rather smaller than one of the Woolwich steamers, and has consequently more power. She is en light that the weight of a single man alters her bearings. Though nominally intended as a despatch boat between Guapore and. Cowes, it is stated that she is really intended as a pleasure yacht for the young Prince of Wales. She will leave Wool wich. on Wednesday for Chatham, where she will be fitted for sea.—Lightning, st.-v., Master Commander J.

Before Mr. Baron Platt and Mr. lattice Willies a. SECOND DAY. [We continue the report of the trial where we left off on St urday.] Mr. Chembers—WP at was the size of the rooms ? Sir F. Thesigor objected to Mr. Chambers pleasing his Own witness ; and Mr. Baron Platt said he ought not to be treated as a hostile witness, so he had not shown any disposition to call Bs suck treatment. Examination continued—Not half the boys were of the age of six or seven. Ido not know their number. There wero four day-rooms. I was there before the cholera broke out. As a medical man I should say the congregating toge ther of the children was one predisposing cause of the disease. There are many predispeemg causes. The congre gating together of large masses is one, as well in other places as in this establishment. In this cue the congregation together was the only cause. Generally speaking, there was not overcrowding. Mr. Chambers—Do yon, or do you not consider that the overcrowding there wee one of the causes ? Baron Platt—But he says there was not overcrowding. Witness—The over-crowding in that part where there was overcrowding was a predisposing cause. There was a little overcrowding in the dormitories of the bigger bey,. I saw Mr. Grainger when he came there. He went over the whole establishment, but I was not with him. By Sir F. Thesiger—l entered the establishment on the 30th of October. J. Andrews was in the little boys' ward. Hs was in the sick ward at one time; be might have been there a fortnight. He went in on the Bth of November, and was always there afterwards, though not on the pick list. This leek ward, as it wzg called, was afterwards appropriated for the little boys; and on that account he remaired there. The boys there had meat and porter when I ordered it. They had anything I chose to order for them. The establishment was generally healthy when I went there. Only 8 or 10 were ill in the boys' ward, and perhaps the ume number in the girls' ward. Several children were sent there with the itch. I did my best to remedy it, but bad not succeeded when the cholera broke out. The girls and bays were rated in the establishment, except the very small one,. I saw no premonitory symptoms before the cholera broke oat. It broke out very suddenly. There were always some cases of diarrhoea in the establishment. In consequence of the sudden breaking out of the cholera, it was neeessoury,teseps rate those attacked from the healthy, and there walliseces spray much confusion in the utablisbnimet. There was great difficulty in procuring nurses ; many °ejected to come, and others hav ing promised failed to do so. Mr. Divest was very anxious to do all he mild. Up to the time of the attack the children appeared to me to be as healthy as such children generally are. I cover heard any complaint of their clothing nor of their diet from the children. I always considered Mr. Drouet a humire man. Six adult persons in the establish mint were attacked with cholera and died. They were pre viously in good health. Re-examined by Mr. M. Chambers—Never went up to the attic to see haw many boys slept there after the 6th of Janu ary. The sth of January was the first day on which witness had any medical man to assist him. Messrs. Chapman, of Tooting, rendered him amistance. Theme were always some cases of diarrhcca in the establishment. During the first month witnses was there (November) there were 42; i^ De e-mber 45. Whether or not diarrhea was a premonitory symptom of cholera was doub.ed. Witness di , ' not think it w.s so. At Tooting it was not a premonitory symptom, be cause those attacked with cholera did not exhibit the 4 snp tozz. By Mr. Baron Platt—Of the 42 cues in the first month the greater part wtre cured at the end of the cr.onth. Some lasted only l no or three day.. About 50 or 60 different pr:rsons were attacked with diorama in the two montba. In some eases there was a return of the complaint. Of the 50 or 60, not more than a dozen were attacked with cholera, and thetclore he considered that diarrhea was, in that case, no premo niticm. H. nryWt itell, calltd and examined by Mr. C'arksnn— Was the reet.trar of deaths for the periehes or Streath and Tootirv.
