URORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.— , i It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious animal diet first made its appearance ; and already celebritya nc r is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, boon'',,, P ag uzzled man a brain to explain how this has been ~ ht about. Yet y when we are acquainted with a few facts ee rning the food our wonder will cease. A few days since, gentleman wrote, , stating that he bad a horse which was e a % Per fect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get ce T allimal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some horley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The p r Tae rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had ; j a ped no less than 12 stones. Again we flad at the late agri tilral shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which 1„„rled off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we 'orCed to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely i l ?nt it s own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can I tl eced alone from the good opinion and testimony of those kill have tried it.

By his systematic management en immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented.

Extract from Minutes of Consultation transmitted by the Government of Madras, on the 15th May, 1858, to the late Court of Directors of the East India Company : The Government express their unanimous, strong, and earnest advocacy that all irrigation works which, on a com prehensive view of the wants of the country, may be deemed necessary to develop its undoubtedly great resources, be commenced at once boldly and on a large scale, be pressed forward throughout all times and under all circumstances, and be looked on, and be practically treated, as in fact they really are, as the most economical, because the most pro fitable, undertakings in which the Government could pos sibly engage. It is needless now again to bring forward the innumerable instances in which money has in the Pre sidency been most advantageously invested in irrigation works. The proceeding s of Government have, in this re spect, been only too dsultory and vacillating, and it is confidently asserted that India could be placed in a position to pay all her own expenses, and gradually dis charge her debt far more readily and speedily by a judicious expenditure than by any scheme of retrenchment or reduc tion. sioners of the Court of Bankruptcy, to act in the room of Edmund Robert Daniell, Esq., deceased.

The adjourned meeting of the proprietors of East India Stock was held yesterday, at twelve o'clock, at the India House—Lieutenant-Colonel Sykes, M.P., in the chair. In answer to a question the CHAIRMAN replied that the meetings would in future be held at twelve o'clock precisely. Mr. CRAWSHAY intimated his intention of going on with his resolutions Itearing upon the future management of the company's funds and the accept ance of accommodation in the house, offered to them by Lord Stanley on behalf of the Council of India. Mr. ARBUTHNOT moved an amendment, having for its object the simple acceptance of Lord Stanley's offer. ThComurai AN said that Lord Stanley had con ceded everything except the unclaimed dividends, which his lordship recommended should be ascer tained by a court of law as to whether those divi• dends belonged to the proprietary or to the Govern ment of England. He thought any course in oppo sition to the report of their committee would detract from the dignity of the Court of Directors ; at any rate he could not hold any position wherein he was to be considered as a mere clerk, without any inde pendent action or control. Some further discussion having taken place, and Mr. Crawshay having replied, the motion which he moved was put, to the effect that the payment of the half-yearly dividend as the same becomes due, together with the payment of the unclaimed divi dends, is essential to the independence of the com pany, the maintenance of its legal poktion, its cor porate rights, and the exercise of the due authority of the Court of Directors. On counting it was found to be carried. The question of the unclaimed dividends was next considered, and several propositions were made to submit the whole case to the arbitration.oithite in, dependent gentlemen of the bar, the Council for India consenting, and that such decision should be binding. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE suggested that both the Court of Directors and the Council of India should agree upon a case to be submitted to counsel. — A desultory conversation ensued, when the Chair man announced that Lord Stanley had communi cated that very day upon the matter being referred to legal opinion of eminence, and be bound thereby. Mr. CRAWSHAY moved a resolution to the effect that the directors be requested to obtain a legal set tlement of the question. Several proprietors called out that they hoped the company was not going to law. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE wished to save law ex penses. When they had got a lawyer's opinion it was worth nothing. They would pay a great deal of money and then be no nearer a settlement. (Laughter.) A discussion then ensued. It was put and car ried by the meeting that, as the title of the East India Company to all past and future unclaimed dividends had been called in question by the Secre• tary of State for India, that a case be prepared and agreed upon to be submitted to three eminent counsel for opinion, and that such opinion shall be binding. Mr. CRAWSHAY then moved that the offer of Lord Stanley of the use of the India House and staff for the conduct of the company's funded pro perty be accepted. He thought that the latter part was very important, and would tend consi derably to preserve a harmony which was so essen tial to their welfare. The resolution further pro vided for salaries to the secretary and Court of Directors. Captain SIIEE seconded the motion, and com plained that the accommodation was not at present sufficient, as they were bandied about from one room to another. Mr. ARBUTHNOT moved an amendment, when Mr. Sergeant GASELEE seconded it, and in doing so passed some very severe remarks on the personal conduct of the chairman, and condemned his con duct in endeavouring to make work and places at the expense of the people of India. He (the speaker) wanted no rooms or anything of the kind. The Chairman, who was member for Aberdeen, was indebted to the proprietors of India stock for that position in consequence of his being a member of the Court of Directors. He now turned round on them, and wanted to be just as bad as the old ones. They got their salaries increased from £3OO to £5OO a year, and when the end was coining it was helter skelter who should run fast enough to get places under Government at £l2OO a year, without any reference to proprietary. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Here was another set wanting to do exactly the same thing. The others had made their bargain with the Government, and did not care a straw for the company. The remarks of the learned Sergeant were loudly contradicted by the meeting. He contended, in reply, that the company could only cry out mise ricordia, and sue to the Government in forma pau peris. Mr. JONES disagreed with this, and said the com pany was not so bad as that. It had no need as yet to cry Date obolum Belisario. (Laughter.) He was of opinion that Lord Stanley's offer should be accepted. Mr. CRAWSIIAY replied, and contended that the offer of the Secretary of State in Council for India was one which would save a large expenditure of many thousands per annum of the revenues of India, which would be the result of the company having a separate. establishment. The motion was then put and carried by a large majority. Mr. Crawshay's next motion had reference to the payment of salaries to the chairman, court of directors, and secretary of the company, in addition to such other incidental expenses as were necessary for the proper conduct of the company's affairs, as were not already provided for by the late act, and that the Secretary of State in Council for India be requested to make provision for the same. Dr. BEATTIE rose to substantiate an assertion he had made, that a member of the Court of Directors had said lie would not serve unless . he received £2OO a-year. On being pressed to name, he said it was Major Moore. Major MOORE, with great warmth, denied the accusation. What he said was, that unless the salary was equal to the position he would not Serve. A personal altercation ensued, when Mr. JONES thought that there was nothing im proper or indelicate about the matter. He was the member of the committee who proposed salaries of £3OO a-year each to the directors and £5OO to the chairman. Such a proposition, including other expenses, were submitted to Lord Stanley, and they were waiting for his lordship to decide. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE found great fault with the directors for having written to Lord Stanley a letter, which, in effect, was asking for salaries. They kept very close to that. (Laughter.) The influence that had been brought to bear on him to support some gentleman of that board was enormous, and when once elected they treated the proprietors, like dirt. (Hear, and No, no.) They had an itching for salaries, but he called upon them to wait a little, and apply for a sum in the lump for the management of the company's business, without any reference to the directors' salaries. Mr. PLOWDEN spoke in explanation, and said that the letter alluded to was never intended to ask for salaries for directors, but merely to ascertain what funds would be available for the purposes meant. The speaker entered further into a defence of the conduct of the new directors in filling up the vacancies in their own body, and passed some re flections on Mr. Sergeant Gaselee, Mr. Jones, and others, in respect to their conduct at their meetings. So far as Dr. Beattie was concerned, his hostility could be understood, as he had tried and failed to be elected. Hine ilke lachryznee. (Laughter and confusion.) The matter was becoming very warm, when The CHAIRMAN said there had been quite enough of personalities, and the motion had better be allowed to proceed. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE moved an amendment which had for its object that Lord Stanley be re quested to allow such sum of money for the entire management of the company's business as he may think fit. The CHAIRMAN put the question, when Mr. Crawshay's motion was carried, that gentleman ex pressing his regret that so much personality had been imported into the discussion. The next motion was, that the above arrange ments, so far as the accommodation in the India House was concerned, be terminated by each party giving six months' notice. The motion was agreed to. Mr. CRAWSHAY'S next motion was to the effect that the directors should not make any application to the Security Fund without calling a general meeting of the proprietary for the express purpose. He said that a bye-law existed for that purpose. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE replied to an invidious remark respecting himself, made by Mr. Crawshay, and said, had that gentleman been in the Court of Directors when the question of the Rajah of FROM THE GAZETTE OF YESTERDAY FOREIGN-OFFICE, DEC. 14.

SCULLEItS' RACE Fon £lO5.—A very fine scullers' race, although unfortunately endin in a foul, came off yester day, for £5O a-side, between George Drewitt, a landsman, of Chelsea, and Benjamin Oxlad e , a w a terman, of Paul's Wharf. A Citizen steamboat accompanied, being filled with spectators, among whom bettin g was pretty level. Mr Charles Newnham was referee, and all the preliminaries arranged, the men got to their stations, Oxlade winning the toss, and taking the Middlesex side. The wind blowing hard at the time towards Fulham, made nearly all the la bour on the right hand. Oxlade had the lead at the start ing, but was breasted by his man in 200 yards, and then Drewitt nearly cleared him, in which position, rowing very hard, they continued for some time, when Oxlads in turn led by nearly all his boat's length. Towards the Crab Tree it became apparent his right arm was getting weak— his boat went towards Drewitt's—but two or (three times got right again. When nearly oppos it e th e C ra b Tree, the nose of Oxlade 's boat came across Drewitt's sculls. Al though the men went on again, and again fouled, the race was virtually over, and Drewitt being in his own water, and having his boat straight whoa Oxlade fouled him, Mr. Newnham gave his decision in favour of Drewitt. SCULLERS' RACE FOR TEN POUNDS.—A very exciting scullers' race for the above amount (£5 a-side) was rowed yesterday afternoon between Henry Williams, of Chelsea, and Frederick Thompson, of Fulham. The distance was from Battersea-bridge to P utney -bridge. Williams was the favourite, and won the toss for choice of station, taking the Middlesex side. A capital start was effected, and they were scull and scull for 200 yards, when Williams began to draw his boat away, and opposite the White Hart he was ' nearly a clear length in advance of his opponent. The pace was exceedingly good ; but Williams continued to load, and maintained the lead throughout, closely pressed by his opponent, who was only defeated by three lengths at the finish, he having rowed a game stern wager the best part of the distance.

The sweetmeats consist chiefly of "dab," or plaster of Paris, which, being swallowed by the vermin, together with the meal, will form concretions in their inside and kill them.—Punch's Almanac.

He (the learned ser geant) had always endeavoured to do his duty conscientiously, and he hated jobbery of every kind. (Ilear, hear.) After some discussion the motion was put and carried, Mr. CRAWSHAY saying it was not passed with a view of curtailing the powers of the directors, but, to increase them. The Company had lost the go vernment of India because there was not that free intercommunication between proprietors and direc tors that there should have been. Mr. CRAWSHAY again moved, as the last of his resolutions, " That the committee, of by-laws be requested to revise the by-laws in accordance with the altered circumstances of the company." Mr. Sergeant GASELEE suggested that the com mittee of 17 -laws should be paid. The motion was agreed to. Some business was disposed of, when a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings, which had occupied nearly four hours. THE NEW ADELPHI THEATRE. We think all our readers will be glad to hear that the approaching holidays promise them no less a treat than the re-opening of this, the most popular place of theatrical entertainment in London. On Monday, the 27th,theinewest, and now the prettiest theatre in the metropolis, begins its course of " seasons," and if we may augur anything from the scrupulous care with which it has been constructed with a view to the comfort of its audience, the rich ness of its decorations, and general splendour of its effect, we believe that the fresh course on which it is entering will be as prosperous to its manager and popular with the public as during its best days of old. The well-known company, of which we need say no more than that it nightly drew crowded houses to the ugliest and most uncomfortable theatre in London, will re-appear with additional strength, and for the first time an Adelphi audience will now not only be able to see every part of the stage, but to see it with such perfect comfort to themselves as no other place of entertainment of the kind, save the new Opera, can offer. No transformation which this year's Adelphi pantomime can furnish will be half so great or half so striking as that which the audience will behold in comparing the old theatre with the new. As has been truly said of the late building, it was of such a structure that one might have imagined an " Assembly-room" at an old inn converted suddenly into a theatre, and permanently kept in its provisional state. To some such unhappy chance, in fact, it owed its origin. It was originally a factory for colour-grinding, be longing to a Mr. Scott, and advantage was taken of the material being on the spot to paint some rough scenes and get up an amateur theatre, in which Theodore Hook, with other celebrities of the day, then often acted. It was afterwards gradually patched up as a public theatre,and Sir Walter Scott with Ballantyne, his printer, both lost their money in supporting its manager. Its subsequent career is too well known to recapitulate here, though it has always been a marvel with a large section of the public how a theatre so utterly unsuited to its purpose, so cramped, comfortless, and even dangerous to its occupants, could have attained the immense popularity which it has so long enjoyed. The new theatre, with the excep tion of the enlargements which have been made, stands on the same site as the old. By excavating the pit to the level of the Strand pavement, instead of having it, as formerly, more than 10 feet above it, and by carrying the roof a little higher, an addition of some 25 feet is gained in the clear height of the 'interior, and, of course, this important enlargement is at once manifested in the lofty and imposing effect of the tiers of boxes. The wall on the western side, though rebuilt, is in the same position as that which it replaced, but the eastern wall has been moved some 30 feet further away, so that, in fact, the area of the interior has been very nearly doubled. Thus, the width between the boxes is now 44 feet, 6 feet wider than the Lyceum, and nearly 12 feet wider than the Olympic theatre. The total length of the whole of the new building is about 110 feet by 70, almost the largest minor theatre in London, and this space is so carefully and judiciously broken that the idea of space is entirely removed, and the audience see only a series of most graceful curves marking the line of the boxes, and the 'fronts of which are so decorated as to make them the richest and most effective por tions of its internal architecture. The old entrance from the Strand still remains, and through this the audience pass at once to the level of the pit, which, as we have said, is nearly twice the size of the old one. The part nearest the orchestra is railed off for three rows of orchestra stalls, each seat in which is an ample and well padded armchair, and gives the same dimensions for perfect comfort to the occupant as is afforded by the pit stalls at Covent-garden. Behind these are four rows of pit stalls, the charge for each of which is only 25.; while admission to the body of the pit will be reduced to ls. 6d. Above the pit is the first tier of boxes, or rather the balcony, which projects six feet beyond the iron columns which carry the other tiers. In this balcony are two rows of seats, each of 1 foot 10 inches wide by 16 inches deep, with the backs sloping 4-1- inches instead of two inches, the usual allowance at other places of amusement. The front of this balcony is a light and exquisitely wrought iron railing deco rated with white and gold, and with interstices sufficiently wide to allow the varied colours of the ladies' dresses to be plainly seen. Behind the balcony, on a level as to projection with the tiers above, is a row of public or private boxes, accord ing as one is taken for the night by a party, or occupied by ladies or gentlemen who may prefer being placed there. Beautiful spiral cast-iron columns, with elaborate capitals in white and gold, support the upper tier. The front of this is en riched with white and gold decorations, with panels in bas-relief representing the figures of the Muses. The sitting accommodation here is equal to that in the stalls below, as may be judged from the fact that the whole of this portion is only required to accommodate 135 persons. Above this, and sup ported by the same kind of columns, is the gallery tier for gallery stalls. The price of admission to these will also be extremely low, though the seats are in no respect inferior in point of room or view of the stage to any others in the theatre. The front of this tier is also exceedingly handsome, and adorned in panels with medallion portraits of the chief dramatic authors who have contributed so much to the proverbial success of Adelphi perform ances. Behind this is the gallery proper, with the usual side galleries, every part being constructed with the same regard to comfort and a good view of the stage. In order to secure the latter import ant object a point of the stage 35 feet from the front was taken as the centre, and from this the seats were ranged, so that the radius of each is unbroken by any obstacle. The ceiling is in what may be called the Genoese style, but the admirable effect of Mr. Sang's decorations impart a lofty dome-like aspect to it, which en hances the appearance of the whole interior. Look ing from the pit, it is difficult to believe that the ceiling is not a high dome, and the excellent paint ings of the four seasons, with the emblematic fruits and flowers appropriate to each, aid this illusion to the fullest. On the west side of the proscenium is the Queen's box, on the east that of the Prince of Wales. Each of these is as large as a well-sized modern drawing-room, and the richness of their appearance is increased by the fronts having balus trades of the most brilliant cut glass. The effect of this handsome but novel style of decoration will be beautiful, and, to carry it out to the fullest extent of which it is capable, the execution has been en trusted to Messrs. Defries and Sons, whose artistic labours in glass manufacture have done so much to enhance the beauty of all our London theatres. The whole of the proscenium, and the ceiling im mediately over it, is covered with bold yet delicate traceries in white and gold, which preserve the beauty of detail without detracting from the har mony of the whole. The proscenium itself is 38 feet high by 35 feet wide—several feet larger each way than the proscenium of either the Lyceum, Olympic, or Princess's. The .whole theatre has sitting seats for 1,500 persons, but this estimate allows such ample accommodation for each that one may fairly say the new building will accommodate 2,000 with far greater comfort to themselves than ever the old one did one-half of that number. The Mode of lighting is simple but brilliant in the ex treme, the whole building being illuminated from the ceiling :with one of Stroud's patent sun lights. The light itself is concealed, though its effect is increased by an exquisitely formed chan delier—a glittering mass of cut glass coronets, pris matic feathers, lustres, and spangles, and which has also been designed and furnished by Defries and Sons, and reflects the highest credit on their taste and skill. But it is not alone with arehiteetu •al or decora tive improvements that Mr. Webster has contented himself in catering for. the public in his new build- iN EV:SI:S'I\PB: ing. r r the new theatre will reforms, which, though apparently selves, yet go so far to secure the audience that we , trust the appr# rules will ere long be the standard tropolitan theatres. Thus, prices all parts of the house are lower tha fore. When a visitor books his gi office he becomes ifs proprietor, so to speak, for the night,, and up to the very close of the performance it is retained for him without any further charge. The refreshment depart ment—the most fertile source of aggravation and extortion—Mr. Webster has taken into his own hands, and promises to make it as excellent and as cheap as possible. Spacious cloak-rooms will be Pravided for ladies, 4tted w,ith all the requisites for the toilette, and where, even for the care of cloaks or b onne t s , no f ees f any kind will be per mitted. All the check-takers, box-openers, and. attendants will be women, for Mr. Webster rightly judges that, while he secures by this change more civility to his audience, he almost entirely does away with the chance of extortion or fee taking of any kind. We had nearly omitted to mention the greatest improvement of all, which is, that the whole theatre from pit to ceiling is fire-proof, and that in ease of a chance or mischie vous alarm of fire such a number of exits are pro vided into Bullin-court, and from the back of the stage to Maiden-lane, that the whole audience could. quit the building almost instantly. Altogether the new building possesses many important improvements which we trust will be adopted in other establishments of the same kind. Beyond a doubt it is the most convenient and handsomest place of amusement in London, and we are sure that the care and cost which Mr. Webster _ 'has bestowed upon its erection will not be unre quited by the public. Mr. T. H. Wyatt is the architect, and what we have already said bears sufficient testimony to the admirable manner in which that gentleman has fulfilled his duty. RECEPTION OF THE FRENCH CONSUL AT SIAM. Accounts have been received from Bangkok, the capital of Siam, to the 26th Oct., which mention the arrival there of M. de Castelnau, the French Consul, and his reception by the King. The fol lowing is an account of the proceedings :—" Royal boats carrying the French were sent to the French vessel to bring the consul on shore, and pa lanquins were in attendance at the landing-place to convey him to the palace. The first enclosure was filled with servants and soldiers ; in the second was drawn up a battery of artillery ; and in the third, adjoining the palace, the King's body-guard formed two lines, and when the consuls and the other persons with him passed, they presented nrms. The grand reception•room, into which the consul, accompanied by the Bishop of Mallos, act ing as interpreter, and the members of the mission, was introduced, presented a very striking appearance. There were in it about 400 mandarins clad in the richest dresses and all prostrate before the throne, on which the King was seated. The walls of the room were covered with ornaments of the most singular kind, made in gold and precious stones, and the nine parasols, each with seven branches, which constitute file great emblem of sovereignty at Siam, were ranged behind the throne. A cushion was placed for the French representative at a few feet from the throne, and in a line with the princes of the royal family, who were seated on the ground. Another cushion was placed for the bishop. The consul of France, in his address to the King, expressed the gratifica tion he felt at being appointed to reside at the court of his Majesty by the Emperor Napoleon 111. who was desirous of re-opening with the kingdom • of Siam those relations of amity which had first commenced under the reign of Louis XIV., but had been so long interrupted. The King replied hi a most gracious manner. He first alluded to the r time when the relations between the two countries had commenced, but which had been broken off in consequence of revolutions and changes of dynasty . both in France and Siam, and then expressed his great satisfaction at the Emperor Napoleon 111. having sent an ambassador to conclude a treaty with him, one of the clauses of which was that France should always have an agent resident at his court. His Majesty assured the consul that every courtesy should be shown him, and that he had only to apply to the Minister of Foreign Affairs to find all his wishes immediately attended to. He concluded by begging the indulgence of the consul at the outset, as the establishment of new regula tions and the exact observance of treaties might at first meet with some difficulties, which time and experience would enable his ministers to sur mount." After the official reception the King in vited the consul to a grand banquet, which was served in a hall having on one side a large aviary containing the most magnificent birds, and on the other a large courtyard, in which were a number of elephants, some of them almost in a wild state. Military music played during the entertainment. When the consul left the palace the King gave orders that he should be conducted to the Grand Pagoda of the palace, which contains innumerable ornaments and gigantic idols in gold and glittering with precious stones. HEALTH OP LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The deaths registered in London in the week ending last Saturday were 1,442. In the ten years 1848-57 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,186; but, as the deaths in the present return occurred in a popu lation which has increased, they should be com pared with the average after it is raised in propor tion to this increase, a correction which will make it 1,305. The result of comparison is, that 'the deaths of last week exceeded by 137 the number which would have occurred if a rate of mortality the same as the average had prevailed. The deaths in the preceding week were 1,531 ; and though those of last week arc still numerous, it is satisfac tory that the return shows a continued decrease in the mortality from the high point which it attained at the end of last month. Sixty-three districts of England in which the mortality is least have been selected, and their ave rage rate of mortality in the last quarter of the year has been ascertained. If the deaths in London last week had been according to "the healthy rate" thus obtained they would have been 765; and the actual excess (amounting to 677) above the standard may be the result in part of the unfavourable na ture of the weather, but it arises chiefly from ac quired conditions of insalubrity that exist in towns. The deaths caused last week by zymotic diseases in the aggregate were 322, the corrected average of 10 corresponding weeks being 299. Though scar latina appears to be declining, it is still by far the most fatal in this class. The deaths from it were 112, the average being 58. Eight deaths from scarlatina occurred in the Tottenham-court-road sub-district. Smallpox slowly increases, and it was fatal last week in 16 cases. From measles 42 chil dren and an adult died, of which cases three occurred within four days in one house, 21, Kidd street, 'Woolwich. Bronchitis carried off 264 per sons, which is rather more than in the previous week, and exceeds the average by 131. The deaths of five nonagenarians, who were all widows, are recorded as having occurred at the following ages : —9O, 94, 95, 98, and 99 years. Last week the births of 890 boys and 880 girls, in all 1,770 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1848-57 the average number was 1,561. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.867 in. The barometrical readings varied from 29.39 in. to 30 . 14 in. The mean temperature of the week was 38 . 9 deg., which is 1.1 deg. below the average of the smile week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The lowest point attained by the ther mometer in the week was 33.5 deg. on *Wednes day ; the highest point was 51 deg. on Saturday. The range of the week was therefore 17 . 5 deg. The mean daily range was 7.8 deg.; on Sunday and Tuesday the range did not exceed 2.4 deg. and 3 deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 2.7 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 91. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 41.1 deg. The wind blew generally from the south and south-east. The amount of rain mea sured by the gauge was 0.30 in , most of which fell on Saturday.
