(hint to the elec tors of Lisieux will. it is said, be published to-morrow. Rumours are in circulation about the Assembly that a certain portion of the party of the Mountain is de sirous of attempting to effect a prorogation of the Assembly. Should such a step be attempted, it will, without doubt, be opposed by a very large majority. In the National Assembly to-day an amendment was proposed having for its object to reduce the melons granted to the ancient peers of France, in the discussion on which M. Goudchaux, revert ing to the debate of yesterday, which his left a sadly galled place, took occasion to say, " Certain journals this morning again attach to some name hers of the provisional government the sospt cion of having proposed bankrupt c y. I avow boldly that this propcmtion was in fact made, not by a person belonging to the provisional government, but by a person who did not belong to it." The amendment to reduce the pensions of the peers was rejected by a majority of 336 to 329. M. de Iticheasont, who has attained a certain cele brity by pretending to be the son or Louis XVI., has just sent an assignation to the Duchesee d'Angonleme, to appear before the tribunals to recognise his birth right as the son of Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette. Yesterday six other members were elected for the Council of State—M.M. J. Reynaud, Charton, Perignon, Pons, Lignite., and F. Caviar. The committee on the project of law as to the action-money of the journals has proposed, by a con siderable majority, to reduce it to 12,000 francs. The committee to whom the project of law for sus pending for three months the operation of the law as to the command of the national guard and the troops in the Prefecture of the Seine, has, it is announced, 1177! to reject such project by a majority of 9to Martin (of Strasbourg) is named reporter. It is rumoured to -day in the couloirs of the Assem bly that M. Marrast will not be supported for re election to the presidency of the Assembly by the democratic party, but that M. Gravy will be proposed by them. The election will take place to-morrow. After our reporter at the Assembly had closed his despatcher, the wad of M. Duelers: of some of the secrets of the provisional government continued to excite great warmth amongst several of the membe rs of that body. Ultimately M. Chavoir's motion was rejected, by a majority of 614 to 119. BY the balance-sheet of the Bank of France it will he seen that the metallic reserve ham declined mil lion*, of which 4 Wilkins are in Paris and 211* the mot?'. The discount accommodation is not so mat / 04 80 0.000 fr. The protested bills have declined t 260,000 fr., and the overdue bills 62,000 fr. 14 ON side of the liabilities, the amount of notes in sirculatice has fallen off about 13i Taillicas. The aceount-current of the Tri usury has increased some what more than 3 millions, the amount being 31,497,127 fr. The whole amount of the metallic re serve is now about 325 millions to 4231 millions of notes in circulation.

The Madrid journals of the Bth inst. have come to hand. The Gazette publishes a telegraphic despatch, announcing the arrest of Count de Montemolin. The intelligenceof this fact canoed a considerable advance in the public funds, the Threes having gone up to 241. M. Napoleon Bonaparte, Minister of the French Re public, arrived in Madrid on the 7th. The Heraklo of Madrid publishes a letter from Tolosa, of the 4th inst., which confirms the statement of the ex-king Charles Albert having signed in that town a formal rennaciation of tho Sardinian crown. This document was signed on the 3rd inst., at an inn in the Calle del Correa, before M. Fermin ds Farun dawn., a notary, and in presence of the Marquis Carlos Ferrero de la Mormon, Prince de Messerano, first aide-de-camp to his majesty ; the Count Gustavo Poona, do San Martin, intendent-general ; Don An tonio Vicente de Purges, political chief of the pro vince ; and of Don Tavier de Barcaistrgui, deputy general of the same province. Charles Albert sub sequently declared in the presence of all that he freely and voluntarily ratified the abdication which he made at Novarre, in the night of the 23rd March, in favour of his .on. The declaration made and signed by the king pill be preserved in the office of the notary. An authentic copy was sent to Turin. ITALY. A Turin letter, of the 9th inst., states that the Sardi nian government has answered the deputation of Genoa that, If the town surrendered immediately, an amnesty would be granted. The only exceptions would be 12 chiefs of the insurrection, all the military who have taken a part in it, and the individuals guilty of crimes against palms and property. In order to allow the municipality of Genoa time to consider these conditions thstermof thearmistice is proroguedtothelOth. The Lombards who had advanced towards Genoa were still at Bobbie, and had not advanced. The letters and journals from Genoa, Tuscany, Rome, and Naples had oat arrived at Turin on the 9th. The Opinions of Turin, of the 9th inst., announces that Chevalier Bruck, commissioned by the Avadelta wwnnient to agree on the conditions of peace with Piedmont, has est out for Milan. The Risorgiensesto of Turin, of the 9th inst., pub lishes a tempts' of General La Munson,r* dated tith inst., which enefirms the account we have recently given of the mats if Genoa up to the departure ot the deputation kr Turin to arrange as to the armistice. ROMAN STATES.—The Univers says : "We have received news from Rome and Gaeta up to the 4th inst. The conferences on the affairs oT Rome were opened at Gaeta on the 30th March, between the plenipotentiaries of France, Austria, Spain, and Naples. If our information be exact the representa tives of the catholic powers first examined if the re establishment of the sovereign Pontiff in his states could not be effected by pacific means; but this, as the reader will divine, was decided in the negative. The armed intervention of the powers from which Pins IX. has demanded assistance has been • recognised as indispensable and argent. Theplenipotentiaries subsequently o> coped themselves with the means of execution, and h the part which each of the states should take thereht. No definitive solution was come to up to the aperture of the packet-boat. Oar correspondent MINS us to fear that the part taken by France has not responded to what the Pope was entitled to expect from the eldest daughter of the church. The indecisions of the ministry have caused oar represen tative to hold a language which, whilst expressing the beet intentions, tends to continue a situation which the delays of diplomacy render every day more deplorable." A despatch, it was -said, had been received the triumvirs, stating that the city of Bologna had snit a deputation to Gaeta, to declare that it had broken all relations with the government of Rome, and was ready to return to its submission to his Holiness No great credit was, however, attached to this news. It may notwithstanding be true, since the Minister Rusooni and the Deputy Chained had gone in ill haste to the legation. GERMANY. IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS AND DECISION OF THE FRANKFORT NATIONAL ASSEM BLY.-REPORT OF THE DEPUTATION TO BERLIN. The Frankfort National Assembly resumed its sittings on the 11th inst. Not only the public tri bunes in Paul's Church, but all the adjoining streets, were filled with anxious crowds, all eager to hear or learn the resolution to which the Assembly should arrive, after receiving the report of the deputation appointed to wait on the King of Prussia. Previous to the commencement of the all-important business of the day, it was announced that the sum of 100 florins bad been contributed for the purpose of furnishing a new helm for the captured Dmush fri gate the Geflon, and a further sum of 4,000 florins, by a German insurance society, towards the construction of the German fleet. The official demand of the Aus trian government to be allowed to take proceedings against one of the members of the Assembly on the charge of high treason was referred to a committee. The Baron yea Garman (President of the Cabinet) then midi that when he signed the declaration that Cw.ehrsiti le net nib lie any alteration of the constitution a. drawn sip by** y, he did so is his private capa city sr ) a nismlar if the hones, bat set se a cabinet Weider, he be bad previously waders& his reggsaticet.

About the 4th last, there were 45,000 Ger mem troops, with 160 pieces of artillery, in the ant of war. reneime esentries, which bad reckoned on the divisions in Gamut, es ingweitating it to furnish a competent army, had lams salloithy as_ they always would be. (Cheers,) The 'Alarm eiled by stating that the name of the impinged Death Moth (Oefion) bad boon converted into )We —de , sad tbst th e Danis r ls in tLonas hoisted on it had been ithwarded as a sys to F Herr Simeon (PreeWat of the National Assembly and of the deputation to Berlin) then roes, amidst mash eitaselsg, sad- sidmissed the Assembly as follows: Goalless's, we gems bases this ream* in order to give • soma ethesesisg the Lesion with Tibia we were =trusted. 1 shell merely dwell em the Wainer put of that minion, although ear reception en ear journey to and from Berlin was of the meet matishelery kind. Two of the members of the deputation did not waxed to that capital, being prevented, es they asserted, by urgent bsuiness. The depthaon necked that sity on the 2nd inst. Oa the morning Were one nerinl, the Count Von Brandenburg announced in the Ent Chamber the line a conduct which the Prussian governmest would pu n* respecting the decision of the Naomi Amenably. The substance of his communication was to the offset that the decisions of the sisembly requiting the elnalibellthe were only binding on these goesesmanis whisk l theca as valid. Whoa we learned ha Pondus the fame 1 this ministerial declaration, we entertained se thaw azy doubt as to the kind of answer we stead ne. ONTO from the king. Shortly after the arrival "el the deputation in Berlin, Daunt Von Brandenburg made • similar statement to two members of it, and requested a copof the address which the deputation intended to deliver In his ntsieWs presence. This request was complied with. [Here the albs., adelt we published at the time, was read.] The .silence was deed for the 3rd inst. On the previous evening the deputation expressed to the ministry the wish to be favoured with • copy of the proposed royal reply. Their wish, however, was not gra tified. The reception was worthy dour mission. [Here Herr Simeon read the king's reply to the address of tee de putation.] His majesty's reply became the subject of con sidoration on our part ; but our examination of it was in terrupted for ems day by our being invited to the royal palace of Charlottenburg. Our deliberations respecting the reply were however resumed, and the result was, that we unanimously drew up a declaration, and forwarded it to the Prussian cabinet. The declaratioa was as follows. (It has already appeared in cameo in oar colamas.) We had previously been repeatedly informed, even by persons of rank, that the king had consented to accept the imperial dig nity ; but we found that that acceptance would not to based on the terms implied by the recognition of the constitution. The deputation did not think that it was their proven to criticise the royal speech, or to earn on further nego ciatioos. In order, however, to obviate any =Leander standing, the deputation declared that the acceptance of the imperial dignity pro-supposed the recognition of the eensti etti fors t eg i ola :ja m : v re n ee t m ed p , : a sti t oian th ibew e e seca posttedi n tito d Assembly. After a few other remarks, the speaker em ended, amidst general cheers. A long discussion then ensued, and finally the fol. lowirg motion was carried, by a majority of 276 to 159: That the German Constituent National Assembly declare soli-wily to the nation that it will unahakingly adhere to the constitution agreed to and promulgated on the second reading, snd also to the electoral law passed on the second reading ; that it refer the report of the deputatioa to a COM mince of thirty members to be chosen by the se Mims of the chambers, in order that a speedy report may be made re specting the measures neural, to be taken for carrying out the constitution. This decision of the assembly may be set down as the rejection of the claim set up by the respective princes of Germany for a suspending veto with regard to the constitution. The house then adjourned. AUSTRIA.—We have intelligence from Vienna to the 91 inst. The thirty-fourth bulletin has been published by Marshal Welden, and, as usual, it con tains accounts of another loss on the part of the Hungarians of many men and six cannon. It con cludea, however, by saying that Windiscbgratz can not tike the offensive, but must wait for reinfiarce. manta. Thu is rather significant. The bulletin is as follows : Intelligence from his excellency Prince Windiochgratr, dated Pestb, the 7th instant, give of the antici pated great noorinoimance made the Field-Marshal in person on the 4th and sth *stalest the enemy's troops. The enemy, amounting in number to about 50,000 men, with a considerable force in cannon and cavalry, had moved from Miskolcz to Mezokovesd, under Gorgey, whilst Klapka retired to Gyrongyos, the van guard, under Dembinski, being stationed at Detests. This latter force was that which was attacked on the 2nd inst. by Mat shalSchlick , when the lost many rani and prisoners, and were repulsed as fares Hart. Another bsdy of insurgents was on the right bank of the Theirs, between Szolnok and Jan. Apatbi, moving against Field Marshal Baran Jellae.hich. The 3rd corps of Marshal Schliek had taken up a position behind the Zagyve, whilst the Ist was placed at Tapia Bicke. In this state of things the field-marshal was desirous of himself ascertaining the force of the enemy, and went on the 4th to Oodiillo, where part of the 2nd corps already was, whilst its left wing crocupied Balassa-Gyarmath and Vad- Ken. The reconnoissance showed the entire fuse of the enemy, which, anticipating an attack, kept his main forge opposed at first to our third, and later to our list term. There were four hostile corps which joined each other before Gyongyos and BrAnok, and endeavoured to attack our centre at Tot- Alms.. A movement by the third corps against the enemy led to an engagement which, as already stated, occurred at l'Asio BAL., under the orders .f Baron Jellachich. The plan of the field-marshal was, in order to approach each other, the reserves pressing on from all sides, to cause the Ist and 3rd corps, as well as the 2nd, which hitherto had occupied a position In reserve between Waitren and Pugh, so to unite is a concentrated position, in advance of Posh, as to leave that city in the centre of a great semi-circle, stretch- Mg from Palau and Kereszteu to &Folmar. This move ment, which the enemy followed with great speed advancing as they did against the first corps at fussier, whilst they pretended to occupy the attention ci the 3rd army corps at Godfillo, led to an engagement as the 6th inst. at raid-day, in which the Fiedler brigedm strength ened by a portion of the Lobkowits brigade, seethed end forced the enemy to retire. The retreat was endeavoured to be covered by a cavalry attack of twelve squa roes, which, however, was met Chevauxiegers and a squadron of Auersperg's Defenders, the result of which was that six cannon were taken from the enemy, and many men left dead on the field.

It appeared that since the Earl of Carlisle had signified his readiness to preside over the festivities to celebrate the tenth year of the establisbinect of the institution, the efforts of the committee had been encouraged by receiving the names of more than seventy stewards, including the prime minister, and several dietineuiabed raembers of both houses of parliament. It was stated that the benefits of the hospital, during the ten years of its existence, had been administered to upwards of 125,000 patients the yearly average now being about 20.000. The regular income of the charity, it seems, does not exceed 1,6001., although the hospital on its present scale of efficiency cannot be maintained under the sum of 4,6001 per annum ; an addition to the regular subscribers was there fore described es the essential point necessary to secure the wal being of an establishment that hos already conferred so great a benefit upon suffering humanity. The ordinary routine business having been disposed of, the meeting sepa rated. SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY.—The stated quar terly meeting of the governors of this society was held yes terday, at the Olen, 74, Hine William-street. Rear- Admfral Bowles, 2d.P. in the chair.—The minutes of the annual meeting which took place in January last baying been read and confirmed, a statement of the proceedings of the society for the loot three months was submitted to the meeting, from which it appeared that the receipts, including a balance of 1521.75. 4d., were 2,2111. 15s. 5d., and the ex penditure 1,4671. 3s. Id., leaving a balance on hand of 74 it. 13. 4d. The number of patients admitted on board the hospital ship from the let January to 31st March was, from herlisjesty's ships, 28; from British and foreign minima vessels, 583 ; on board on the lot Jan., 183; making a total of 792. Of these 642 have been discharged since the Ist Jan. ; and there are at preeent on board 142 sick, 4 convalescent, and 4 fit for duty. The out patients attended to amounted to 427 ; and the total number of sick received on board since the first establishment of the hospital was 59,376.—The thanks of the meeting were than given to the chairman, and the proesedings terminated.

TOOTING PAUPER ASYLUM CASE. TRIAL OF MR. DROUET FOR MANSLAUGHTER. Dom Mr. Baron Platt and Mr. Justice Williams. 8100 ND DAT. Their lordship took their mats at a fliw minute of ten o'eloidi, and the enee en immediately ;proceeded with. The prisoner bad bees oat ea ball daring the night. The Set witness called wee Kedah Dicrimad, who depromt—l em deputy-matron of the . 1!olbora Union Workhouse. For e few months I at- tended to the children there. On the 6th January bist, went to the Fres Hospital to receive the children who were 4mifrom Tooting. 167 cuss that night; amongst theta 1 1 r e ssTunes Andrews. I put most of them to bed, but not Andrew*. On the following morning (Saturday) I went, between 9 and 10 o'clook, and then saw the deceased (J. Andrews). He was in bed. The medicine which Mr. Whitfield bad prescribed was given him. I attended to him while he was alive. He was then dying. He had been very sick ; he died about an hour an a half after I get there, about half-put eleven. The same day I examined an children who bad some to the hospital. Mr. Chambers—ln what state were they ? Sir F. Tbeeiger—l object to that. The question is, in what mate was James Andrews, not the rest of the children. Brides, this witness had not seen them before they went to Tesdal litneeinathan • mathnied—l had an opportunity of seeing ilia babes they went to Tooting. Er F. Maker—This is not evidence, on this principle— Waite het Is the deceased, bat to other parties ; and. of KOMI, oldie other obildren,depentilsg either on the they bed received or on other cannot, can be tse treidenos of the treatment James Andrews had received. They have entirely failed to show that James Andrews was treated precisely in the same way as the other children. Baron Platt —I cannot say that we are entirely without evidence on that head. Sir F. Thedger—But it h confined to the first few days of his being there ; and, without allowing very greet latitude indeed, the question now asked cannot have any fin bearing an the point at issue. Baron Platt—Bat surely it is evidence to show whether the children who, along with deceased, went to Tooting in good health, returned ill. She shindy states that she saw the children before they went. Mr. Ballantine submitted that the evidence could not pos sibly be received. In these cases, a separate indictment was required for each individual ; and if the evidence now ten dered were allowed to be given, it would be to give the evi dence in one ease which belonged to another. It could not be received, unless a perfect identity or analogy was mra bli.hed between the cases. Baron Platt—Put the question. Sir F. Thesiger requested that a note might be made of the objection. Witnees—l examined the children and found most of them bad eruptions on their bodies. Andrew' had nose. Sir F. Theme, again objected, on the ground that the identity of treatment was here not shows. Mr. Chambers submitted that the evidence went to sup port the allegations in the indictment. Mr. Justice William—The indictment would confine you to the mode of treatment which caused the amass of which the person died. Mr. Chambers—lt would be impossible to arrive at any thing like a satisfactory—or, he would add—a fair conclusion with regard to Mr. Drourit's guilt or innocence upon this in dictment, without ping into numerous cases respecting the children entrusted to his care, because it could only be by the effect produced in numerous instances from the over crowding of the rooms, or the insufficiency or badness of the food, that they could arrive at anythiar like a rational opinion on the case. If the children were badly fed, badly lodged, and badly clothed, they would indica.' symptoms of ill-treatment after a certain time. But these symptoms would show themselves in different ways. Insufficiency of food would reduce the body ; a pestilential atmosphere would produce other appearances; insufficiency of clothing would produce still different appearacees. Now, a medical man could not form a satisfactory judgment upon one case, bat if a number of cases were presented to him, he would be able to give his opinion that the persons presenting certain appearances were badly fed, badly lodged, end badly clothed. It was impossible to take one case only—that of James An drews, for instance—and ask an opinion upon his case from the appearances which he exhibits& Mr. Baran Platt—Your argument is that some improper treatment may produce various consequences in different In dividuals. And you say that when a number of individuals returned from this establishment, having different appear ances of disease, all of which are attributed by medical men to *anal,' previous causes—as the want of proper lood and accommodation—it is evidence to show that the same treat ment would produce those appearances in this particular ease. Mr. Chambers thought it important also, as showing criminal negligence on the part of Mr. Droeet, because the question of criminal neglect was involved in the question of numbers in this cue. If in the case of a person who du charged a gun at another, and who defended himse'l by saying it was not loaded, a third person were to come up and say " the gun was loaded—here is the ball—it struck me," surely such evidence would be admirable. That cue was similar to the 'print one. Sr F. Thesiger thought that his learned friend (Mr. Chambers) had only confirmed the argument of has learned friend (Mr. Ballantine), for he had shown, in the moth striking way that could be imagined, how dangerous a laitudo would be allowed in prosecution, if evidence of this kind were admitted against a prisoner. The consequence Voit:so be drawn in the indictment from the acts ce attributable to the prisoner was that by reason of seas supposed ill-treatment, a mortal disease was caused, by which a person inflict James Andrews died. Now his learned friend propcsed to .Sow that with respect to a Pabst of other children in the same establishment they had melain appearances like Andrews, which indicated that there had been improper treatment exhibited towards them— not that any one of those persons had that mortal disease of which Andrews died. Now, though he always understood in cases of this description that though it might possibly be evidence to show that similar treatment was exhibited to wards other persona than the object of inquiry, and thence to infer that it was in ocnstquenee of such treatment the death happened, yet it was absolutely menthol, before evi denceof that kind could be given in cases of this description, to show a complete identity of all the circumstances ; be cause, it there were a failure in that particular, the evidence had no application to the particular case. It was true that in certain cases the law snowed evidence to be given of other acts, but these were cases where the intention of the party was in question—where, for the purpose of showing that the party had a guilty knowledge of the act he was doing, it was shown that he had committed some other act which indicati d that guilty mind. But when the question is not one of intention, but of a criminal act, then evidence of acts with regard to other individuals was inad miesible. Mr. Baron Platt—This is like a case of giving evidence with respect to intention. Mr. Justice WillisnisSuppose the ease of a mortil disease superinduced by giving certain food, and upon exa mining all the children brought from the establishment, they had shown appearances symennatie of haying lived on the same food. Sir F. Thesiga—Suppow the case of a entainons disease. All had eruptions of different kinds which might indicate a lowness of diet in general. Bat that was totally different from the mortal diseue of which the party here died. The question here was to the particular constitution of the indi vidual. Mr. Baron Platt—But both might be occasioned by the same treatment. Sr P. nester —Supper the cues of en unhealthy person affected to death by improper treatment Because he came by his death from such treatment, would it be just to infer that a healthy person was effected in a different way by rea son of the same treatment ? Mr. Baron Platt—Suppose the case of a newels in a hos pital operating with • poisoned knife on three tedividuals, without wiping off the blood. The Suit dim ; the second is similarly affected, but does not die; the third is also affected, but does not die. Would not the state of the second and third persons be evidence ae to the mime of death of the first ? Sir F. Thesiger—Your lordship puts a ease of clear identity of circumstance. Mr. Baron Platt—That is for the jury. But do not under stand that the jury must set upon Sir F. Theeiger could not help feeling that if the evidence was allowed, it was allowing a greater latitude than was usual in each eases. The Court intimated to Mr. Chambers that he would be expected to confine the evidence to such coma as would lead the medical men to infer the casino( disease. The examination was then proceeded with. The children had eruptions; they had sore feet, and wounds in different parts of the body ; they were very thin and pale ; there was a great difference in their appearance at the time they went into the establishment at Tooting and at the time they came out ; the children looked much stoats and healthier when they west in; they were examined by Mr. Grainger ; had seen the food and attention given to them in the hospital • moat of them were very well now ; does not know whetheiMr.Carroll saw the body of Andrews after death. ------ by Sir F. Thesieer—Was in the habit of seeing the children as mum every day. As Euro intendant of the nurses, only saw them casually going into the wards. lied three of her own children at Mr. Dream's, two boys a eel, who came away at the same time as the other children . They were there about 14 months. The childres were is the habit of re bit sometimes. Witness stopped at Mr. Drouet's one t, and frequently visited there. By Mr. Baron P tt—Went there a doses times daring the 14 months. Cror-ezamined by Sir F. Thesiger—Believed that Mr. Drouet paid attention to ha children, 'alms quite saddled on that point. Croas-examined by Mr. M. Chambers—lt wr.s her duty to visit the wends when she was superinteneent. By Mr. Baron Platt—Her children formed a portion of the 157. Her boys came home in Jrnuary, but not the girls, tke latter being very ill with cholera. The boys looked very poorly. AU three finally recovered. Ihe eldest child was 12 years old, another 8, and the third six end shelf. When in ire establishment, witness vrf nt into the room where the children fed Her own little girl was not treated with any partiality. Had seen her at her seals four times. If she had thought the food insufficient or improper, she would have spoken about it. It appeared to her quite sufficient It was supper that she bad seen the girls eat chiefly, which oral consisted of bread and treacle and milk and water. Had never seen thee eat their dinner. Had never seen the boys sup. Had once been in the boys' sleeping spart mints, in the new building : it wu the big boys who slept in it. Mary Harrison, called and examined by Mr. Clarkson— was me of the nurses of the Free Hospital, Gray's Inn-lane On the evening of the 6th January, heard the children were coming from Tooting that night. Saw the deceased boy, James Andrews. He being very tired, witness set him by the fire and gave him some supper. Gave him milk and breed. He said " What a big piece of bread :this is." He could only eat a pert of it Undreamed him and pat him to bed ; he seemed to wish to go to bed, being very tired. By Mr Baron Platt.—The boy appeared fatigued. By Mr. Clarkson—The doctor did not me him that night. By Mr. BUM Platt—He did not complain of any pain whatever. _ By Mir. Clarkson—He was very thin indeed—nothing but • mere barns of bone. Ater witness had put him to bed he seemed composed, and soon went to sleep. About half-pest 6 o'clock in the moralist/ he was taken with vomiting. Ilia I purging wee more like dirty water than anything else. By Mr. Baron Platt—lt was of a kind of slate colour ; not yellow, bat blackish. Cross-examined by Mr. Clarkson—Witness gave him some milk and sent for the doctor, Mr. Whitfield, who cams a little after 7. Could not say how long afterwa rds tke child lived, having given up the chirp to Mrs. Dimond. Believed Mr. Whitfield remained with the child for three hours. Then were four other nurses in the hospital that night. Cross-examined by Sir F. Thesiger—Four nurses went from the Holborn Union to the Free Hospital. Never saw June Andrews till she saw him at the Free Hoep.tal. The nurse who used to attend him at the Holborn Union was unknown to witness, and bad left the house. James An drews did not complain of sickness when he came to the Free been ilLHospital, nor did any of the other boys say he had By Mr. Boron Platt—What sort of • night was this ? It snowed. Mr. M. Chambers—Mr. Whitfield, my lord, will tell us all about the night. Mr. Baron Platt—Were any of the otker children purged ? Witness—Nine others were deli. Mr. Baron Platt—Did James Andrews draw up his legs ? Witness—Yee, my lord. William Benson Whitfield called and examined hy Mr. Chambers—Was the ;medical officer of the Holborn Union. Visited Mr. Drouet's establishment on the 4th of January, , in order to report as to the state of the chid , dren. Went over the sick ward and some other other parts of the establishment. There were • num ber of rooms appropriated to the cholera cases. After going over the establishment, witness entered in Mr.Drouet's suiting books some suggestions as to the treatment of the r children. _ _ _ Mr. M. Chambers—ls this what you said ? (The learned counsel then read a statement that the writer had examined Mr. Droaet's establishment, and had seen the children be longing to the Holborn Union and the parish of Newington; and that he found that the cold cholera prevailed very ex tensively; that he suggested the general use of flannel as an under garment ; also that there should be four blankets to each bed, three for covering and one for lying upon; that instead of suet padding the children should have rice-pud ding; that pea soup should be substituted for Scotch bar:ey broth, and that the children should have meat four days in the week.) . The witness answered in the affirmative. Mr. M. Chambers—Did you, in going through the wards, notice the way in which the children were placed ? Sir F. Thesiger objected to the question. This visit was paid by Mr. Whitfield after the cholera broke out. James Andrews was not one of the children who were at tacked with cholera in the establishment ; it was not till after he bad left that the cholera showed itself. lie sub mitted that the mode in which Mr. Dronet treated the children after the cholera broke out, unless it could be show n that James Andrews was exposed to such treatment, had I nothing to do with the issue. The objection was exactly similar to that which he had taken on the previous day. I Went afterwards into the attics where the children slept. I That was on the 4th of January. Confined his visits to the I wards in which the children slept. In consequence of what he saw then, witness on the following day (the 6th of January) reported to the board of guardians his observs tions, and recommended the instant removal of the children. On the morning of the 6th of January went down to Tooting, and examined the children of the Holborn Union, previous to the arrival of the vans. An. Brews was one of the children so examined by him. This examination took place in the hall of Mr. Droutt's establishment. There were 166 of the children in a state fit to be removed. Many of this, were under the Influence of cholera. Believed them to be so when he ree-m -mended their removal. Said so at the time, and stated it to the board of guardians. Notwithstanding:this, considered the children in a fit state to be removed. Was not present when the vans arrived. They were covered in from the weather, but not like omaibuses. Went to the Free Hospital at 7or B o'clock on the morning of the 6th January. Saw James Andrews. Found him in a state of collapse. Con sidered his a fatal case trim the first. A week afterwards went down to Tooting and examined Droaet's premises. Prisoner was there, but was not informed by him of his object. Little was said at the time. Some of the Holborn Union children were still at Tootiog. Mr. Chambers—How many children could the sleeping wards accommodate. Sir F. Thesiger objected to the question. The charge against Mr. Drouet, was the having occasioned James Andrews' death, by putting him in a damp, d room to sleep, and the evidence must be confined to the proof respecting Andrews' sleeping-place, and not travel over the whole of Mr. Droaet's establislinteat. Mr. Chambers replied that he must be allowed to prove that the whole of Mr. Drouet's place was over.crowded, and that, from bad ventilation, dampness, and pestilential vapours, the children's health generally was affected. Baron Platt—l don't understand how this pestilential vapour, as you cell it, Mr. Chambers, can produce cholera. What miasma has ever been known to produce cholera? One room being over-crowded will not prove that ell the rooms were over-crowded. Mr. Chambers—l am about to show, my lord, that the overcrowding of the rooms was general thraukhout the premises, and that the children's health suffered in con- sequence. Mr. Whitfield's examination resumed—Whims went through all the rooms. Sir F. Thesiger again objected to the general condition of the premises being made matter of evidence. After a long argume at between the counsel, Mr. Baron Platt mid—Mr. Chambers, I have already decided that you must canfine yourself to evidence showing the state of the rooms in which .Andreere slept, ate, or dwelt, and we cannot hear the point argued ever again. Examinrion continued—l did not ascertain how many children could be accomodated in the halls. I do not re collect how many attics the building had. I do not recol lect going into any particular attics. I :amine d the chil dren before they were removed in the vans, and subse quently on their arrival. Mr. M. Chambers—Before they were removed in the vane, in what state of health were they ? Witness—They were not in a good state cf health. Molt of the younger children were very thin, and their abdomens tumid. Mr. Baron Platt—Tumid abdomen means swelled belly. Witness—l examined them after their arrival in town. Mr. M. Chambers—Describe the state in which you found them as to their general health and appearance. Witeete—Covered with the itch, a great many of them. Mr. M. Chambers—Was there anytkine from which you could form a judgment as to the way in which they had been treated as to food and lodging ? Witnees—l believed, fr tm their bellies being swelled, and their extremities being thin, they had not received quite suf ficient food. When the constitution is impaired, the energy for resisting disease is less. Mr. M. Chambers—Were their constitutions so impaired as to be less capable of resisting the cholera ? Witness—Many of them. I saw James Andrews. I can sot say in what state he was as to the power of resisting dis cus. The cholera produces effects in a short time. I had not token particular notice of him before. The wasting is very sudden in cholera. Mr. M. Chambers—He has been eleseribed as a big of Witnees—That is an exaggerated statement ; he was not eo. Re-examined by Sir F. nagger—Yon have attended the children of the Holborn Union for some time ? I have at tended them for nearly three years. There are two other surgeons of the union. One eurgeon attends the children, another the women, and the other the men. The children in the workhouse are not the specimens of children you find elsewhere ?—Not at all. An not children very apt to come into the workhouse with the itch ?—Yes. Mr. Baron Platt—ls the workhouse ever free from itch ? Witness—There are away , a few cases. Examination resumed by Sir F. Thesiger—Do you re member the boy James Andrews. Ido not recollect him before I went to Tooting. I knew his brother. Ido not re member hie brother going to Touting. I had never been at Tooting at all before the 4th January. Sir F. Thesiger—Yon say that the emaciated appearance of the subject is very rapid in the case of cholera ? Witness—lt is se. I lAre you able to say how mon, when there are the seeds of cholera in the system, the emaciation would begin ? The emaciation would not commence before the discharges. This was e cv• of Asiatic cholera, and James Andrews died of Asiatic cholera ? He did. What is your opinion of a case of cholera? I believe it to be a condition of the atmosphere, arising from atmospheric influence. Do yon consider it infectious or contagious I—Decidedly in fections. So that when*, poisonous state of the atmosphere has communicated disease to one subject, another may take it from him from intention ? When many persons affected with the same disease are in one apartment, persons going to the same apartment are in damer of taking it. Yon consider the origin of cholera to be a pesticide! testa of the atmosphere. If there were open ditches in the neigh bourhood of a place, would it generate cholera? Witness—lt would not generate cholera. Mr. Baron Platt—ln your opinion cholera is net generate] by marshy miasma. Do you consider that cholera is gene rated by insufficient food ? \Vanua—lt is not so generated. Mr. Buou Platt—What 1 node retard yen to say is, that if cholera is prevailing, persons in a weak state are Ism likAy to resist it if aff.eted ? Witnese—lt is from want of constitutional energy. Crass examinstion by Sir F. Thesiger resumed—l believe cholera is capricious in its attacks ? Witness—Very much so. Sir F. Thesiger—l believe it will sometimes attack one side of a ship and not the ether ? Witness—l have heard of such instances. Sir F. Thesiger—One side of a street and not the other ? Witeese—Yes. Sir F. Thesiger—Do you knew that sometimes it ravages apparently well-ventilated places, and spans those that are crowded and ill-ventilated ? Witness—There are such instance,. Sir F. Thesiger—Sometimes a regiment en its march will be attacked by cholera, and when they have broken up and the regiment has been removed a few miles the cholera has disappeared ? Witness—Just so. Do yon know that in the :immediate neighbourhood of Tooting, in the adjoining pariah of Wandsworth, cholera broke out also ? Witness—Yea. Mr. Baron Platt—When ? Wetness—At the same time. It commenced before the Tooting cholera, but was prevailing at the same lime. Bo Sir F. Thesiger—Do you know the Hackney refuge at Mr.Varburton's asylum ? Witness—l do not. Sir F. Thesiger—Yon say that on the 4th you recom mended a peculiar course of treatment ; did you ascertain whether that had been attended to ? Witness-1 did not ascertain ; the children were removed the next day. Sir F. Thesiger—ln your judgment would the spreading of cholera be produced by excessive cold? Witness—l think that cold is a great predisposiug cause. Mr. Baron Platt—l believe it is well known that repeated atmospheric changes will predispose to cholera Witness—That is not quite settled. Re-examined by Mr. M. Chambers—You have stated that insufficient food will not generate cholera ? Witness—But it might predispose to it. Mr. Chambers—lf the children were to be warmly clothed one day, end the next day were to be insufficiently clothed, All not that be a predisposing cause—the transition from , warm to cold clothing ? Witness—Yes, supposing the disease prevailed at the time. Mr Chambers-1f children were kept in a warm room and turned out into a cold play.ground, would not that be a pre dist;=_anse ? Tab Mr. Berm Platt—You say that when you inspected this number of boys, some of them at the time were under the influence of cholera? Witness—l did so. Mr. Baron Platt—Can you point out any individual on whom that influence was being exercised ? Witness—l cannot mention the names, or whether this child was one. Mr. Baron Platt—Did yen think it fit to look after the children that night ? Witness—l was expressly excluded, on the ground that the medical man from the hospital should attend them. Mr. Baron Platt—Your office wu superseded. Yon made some report to guide the officer. Witness—l was certain that when the children were removed into the hospital, they would be attended to at once. Mr. Baron Platt—Might not the removal of the children at night be an equally predisposing cause of cholera ? Witness—Yes. By Mr. M. Chambers—ln your judgment was it news eary to bring up than that night through the snow ? Witnem—lt was indispensable fur the preservation of their lives. Dr. Gibson examined the children going to Tooting as the 28th of October. Did not recollect whether Andrews was one of them. If Andrews had been among them must have examined him. If a boy was thin only, but not abso lutely ill, would have passed him. Mr. Baron Platt—Were there many thin boys among them ?—Then were boys of all conditiocs. Dr. Garrod was the next witness examined—Made a post mortem examination of the boy Andrews is the bone-house of the hospital 140 hours after death. The body was exhumed for the purpose, Mr. Baron Platt— nmust prove the body. Mr. Pearson, a vesicles gsuudian of the Holborn Union was called for the purpose. Had seen a body but could not sly whether it was that of Andrews. Cross-examined by Sir F. Thesiger—ls acquainted with Mr. Drouet. Has observed his establishment often, and the mode of conducting it. Thought it was a perfectly well conducted one. Mr. Chambers objected to this line of cross examination as opening up new ground. After some legal discussion, Sir F. Thesiger-1 will put the question in this form. What has Mr. Dronet's character been for Mathieu and humanity ?—Exceedingly good. Mr. Chambers—Have you made inquiry since these events have taken place ?—No. My opinion is the result of in quirks made during my visits of inspection . In answer to Mr. Baron Platt, I have beard a good character of Mr. Drouet from persons in Tooting and else- where. Mr. Chambers stated that, as a difficulty had arisen re specting the identity of the body, they bail sent for the ne cessary evidence. At this point the jury adjourned for refreshment. W. Pithy, examined by Mr. Clarkson—l am a grave digger. Saw the boy Andrews in the month of October. He was then in very good health. I way in the room when he expired. I buried him, and, by directions of the autho rities, I afterwards exhume d him, for the purpose of having a post-mortem examination instituted. Dr. Oarrad recalled and examined by Mr. Clarkson—l am confident, from the post-mortem examination I made, that Andrews died of malignant or Asiatic cholera. The body was very slightly decomposed, and very much emaciated previous to death. The teeth were not so forward as I should have expected from a child of that age. His head was large. That largeness was an indVatiou of his not having arrived at maturity commen surate with his age. The blood throughout the whole holy was of a dark, tar-like colour. The glands were much enlarged, and tubercular matter was apparent, but not to a very great extent. The intestines contained a gruel-like matter, which presented all the appearances com mon in cholera evacuations. The blood in the arteries was nearly as dark as that in the veins. These appearances satisfied me that the child died of Asiatic cholera. The heart, liver, end spleen were all healthy, but I consider it must have been an unhealthy child. Mr. Clarkson—Do you consider that its general emacia tion would have been produced by the action of cholera upon the body for 42 hours ? Witness—ln ordinary cases it would not. Shrinking would have bees produced from that cause. It is my opinion that there is a cholera influence somewhere, and that per sons of weak constitutions are more likely to be attacked by that influence. For instatee,a child of a strong constitution might resist it when a child of weak constitution might fall a victim to it. By Sir F. Thestur —I believe cholera to be in the atmo sphere, and that it travels tenor other countries. Sir F. Thcsiger—.May 1 ask by what conveyance it travels? (Laughter.) Witness—lt travels in the atmosphere. Ido not believe it can be ger.erated in England. I believe it to be infectious, bat not contagious, and that it is likely to attack some places, such as prisons and workhouses, more than others. It is very capricious—is known to he at one side of the street, and not the other, and even to pass over inter vening houses. In fact, bad air, bad food, and bad clothing, will predispose to it. Ido not believe that these of them selves would generate the cholera—they require the pre sence of the atmospheric influence I alluded to in order to create it. Mr. Kite, examined by Mr. Chambers—l am a surgeon. I went to Mr. Drouet's in that capacity the last day of October. There were then 1,100 or 1,200 children in his establishment. Borers the end of December nearly 200 more were admitted. I have no memorandum of the precise nu-nbcr. Those 200 children came from St. Pancras. I was never consulted as to the extent of the accommodation for the children, or on the subject of ventilation or clothing, or a s to the number in the rooms. The infirmary was a room It was conaected with the rest of the building. There were some patients in that infirmary when I went there. About three er four weeks after I went there was a sick ward opened. There were not many affected with pure itch when I went there, but there were several with cutaneous diseases. I found it very difficult to cure the cues of itch which did present themselves. Mr. Baron Platt—Did you ever hear of cholera being pro duced by itch ? Witness—Never. (Laughter.) Witness—The first case ~f cholera occurred on the 29th of December, and between that and the 30th of January 139 of the children died of it. When attacked they were moved at once to the sick ward. I knew the boy James Andrews. I th: i re e e e r ar e ee e is p f :a u s d r oo r a L cs on , e o v t li b e e r e n y i l d n an a g y din i .

It war alter the sth January I was there. I cannot say how many beds there were in that attic, uor in the others. They were only sleeping two in a bed at that time. After the cholera broke out the numbers increased. On the 30th there were about a dozen cases, and a greater num ber the next diy. Afterwards there were perhaps fifty fresh cases in a day. At one time about 200 were ill. After the bet of January there were new cases, but the number decreased. Before it broke out, there were rather too many children in the domitories for a state of health. The number might predispose them to take disease. I lived on the premises. The dae-roomr, in which were the infants did not appear to be overcrowded. [Left proceeding ] NENE ESTUARY gMIRANKMENT ; WINGLAND,--The land enclosed by Ville work h.. 6 proved to be of Coe moat prO ! ductive and fertile character, and from a waste of mud and weeds covered with water, his emerged into a fruitful and prosperous region. The last year's crops were very large, exceeding the anticipatilas of the most sanguine, and the present appear to be vitally promising. The quantity of land enclosed within this embankment amounts to 2,600 acres, valued at 200,0001, and the works were carried into execution under the auspic'es of the commissionsrs of the river Nene Oatfall, Mr. T. Wing being their chairman, after whom the reclaimed land is called. The Norfolk Estuary project is a like uadertaking, for which an act bas already been obtained, and the works will be commenced se soon Si some additional powers have been granted to the company by parliament during the present serials.
