" The Inspector-General states that the deficiencies in -the general store atßalaklava arose partly front a failure in the depot at Smtari to comply with his requisitions, and the tardiness with which the supplies thence were sometimes for warded, as well as from the omission, on some occasions, of any notice of •their shipment, in consequence of which they were not landed, Difficulty and delay were also sometimes caused .by their being stowed under a great part of the cargo which it was necessary to discharge before they could be got at. " Though the correspondence at pages 164 to 172 of Appon dix no doubt shows that repeated applications were made by the Inspector-General to the reserve depot at Scutari for me dicines and medical comforts to meet the wants of the hospi tals in the Crimea, we feel bound to express our opinion that, at a time when the existence of a greatportion of the sick wad imperilled by the abeence of -Allege-supplies, something more than the mere transmission of the usual official demand ou the purveyor or the apothecary at Scutari was necessary to relieve the Inspector-General of his responsibility ; and when he fund the inattention to these applications causing a delay of nearly two months in the arrival of supplies for which the demand was urgent, it appears to us that he ought to have some more decided steps to insure attention to his requisi tions.

The Twenty-eighth Annual General Meeting of the Ito vernors and subscribers of this charity was held at the Hospital on Tuesday week. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Spottiswoode, one of the vice-presidents of the institution. Mr. FENN, the secretary, read the report of the com mittee of management for the past year. The-report stated that, though in some respects the 'public events of the day had tended to diminish the amount of sup port upon which this, in common with other charities of the metropolis, had hitherto , been accustomed to rely, the committee had, nevertheless, been enabledise to con duct the affairs of the institution, that at the close of the year they had the satisfaction of congratulating the friends and supperteis of the charity upon having achieved an amount of benefit to the suffering poor, in ferior enly to the preceding year, and more than equal to that which they had had the happiness to accomplish in any former year. The number of patients relieved during the past year had amounted to 39,891. It would be in the recollection of the public that, after the death of the late Duke of Sussex, a subscription was en tered into for the erection of a monument to his memory, and after several meal - loge of the subscribere, it was de cided that the most suitable mode of carrying out the object would be the erection of a wing to the Royal Free Hospital, to be called the " Sussex Wing," with a statue of his Royal Eighnees in front. That important work had been commenced during the past year, and was nearly completed. The committee bad by means of legacies, received during the year, been enabled to pay off a considerable portion of the debt, unavoidably in curred by the great pressure on the charity in the years 1853 and 1854. The practice adopted of supplying des titute patients on leaving the hospital, with clothes and small sums of money continued to produce the most gratifying results, more especially amongst unfortunate females, many of whom had been restored t) their fami ' lies and friends. The committee had pleasure in calling the attention of the governors' to the services of the 'honorary- Medical officeri We. -Brinton and Hassell, physicians.; Messrs. . Marsden, M.D., Weedon Cooke, De Merle, /to:, surgeons, who had devoted their time and attention durir ' e the past year to the patients committed to their care. In consequence of the reduced number of indoor patients (occasioned by the necessity of proceeding with the new building), the committee gladly acceded to the request of her Majesty's Govern ment, to strengthen the medical staff in the Crimea, and readily granted the services of four of their me3ical officers to that important object—one of whom, after an absence of fifteen months, has just returned, and will shortly resume his duties. The committee Congratulated the governors on having obtained the services of the Rev. J. B. Owen, a clergyman of the highest profes sional qualifications, as chaplain, and the report con cluded by the committee congratulating the governors on the continued success of the charity, and humbly hoping that it would, under God's blessing, continue to prosper ; and that, as it proceeded, its usefulness might be more felt and acknowledged by the public at large, its efforts more effectually sustained by the benevolent, and its benefits more widely diffused amongst the afflicted. From the financial statement it appeared that there had been. during the year, received in annual subscrip tions 1.4541. 103. 6d., in donations 2,1311. 12s. 10J., and in legacies 2,6581. 14s. 7J., making a total of 6,2441. 17s. lid., while there had been expended in payment of old debts 2,4861. 7s. 5d., and in payments for the year 1855, 3,7451. 23. 33.. tucking a total of expenditure dur ing the year of 6,2311. 9s. Bd. The medical report of the number of patients relieved by the charity, from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 1855, was next read, from which it appeared that during that time there had been admitted into the hospital— Persons afflicted with malignant and contagious diseases Persons labouring under various disorders Accidents relieved, and the parties sent home 1,430 Patients under the dentist quired for the hospitals. "In some cases a however, the deficiency appears to have arisen from imperfect arrangements in the Crimea. The storekeeper in charge of the medical stores at Balaklava bad instructions to intimate when any drugs were running short,. and the sufficiency of the supply seems to have depended chiefly upon his vigilance and foresight ; but as he was not informed of changes in the prevailing diseases, lie could not anticipate the demand to which that change would give rise, and it was only from the extent if the requisitions for parti cular remedies, which, perhaps, exhausted the supply in store, that ho became aware of the necessity of replenishing his stock. " It therefore happened that, from the 30th of March to the 20th of April, when fever most prevailed; and quinine was extensively used as a remedy,' and, in some corps, still more extensively as a prophylactic, there was nous of that medicine in the gentiratstore at . .Balaklava, though a large supply was lying at Soutari. was; indeed, a certain ialnintity in 'moat of the - divisional stores, but ii 4 one therewas none, and several corpswhich had • been .using itarriednes_l eiyely were thus suddenly deprived of the remedy onavhich their medical officers had chiefly relied. This deficiency was partial and temporary, bat its occurrence after so much of public attention had been directed to the subject indicated defect in the system, which was pointed out to Lord Raglan in a letter of the 27th of April." " HOSPITAL ORDERLIES AND ATTENDANTS. " Numerous complaints wore made by the medical officers of the difficulty of obtaining suitable persons to perform the duties of hospital serjeants, hospital orderlies, and personal attendants. Where the pressure of military duty was so great, it was, perhaps, natural that there should be some reluctance to part with efficient non-commissioned officers or men from the ranks ; but it may be doubted whether persons well qua lified for situations in the hospital would not contribute more to the relief of their effective comrades by promoting the re covery of the sick than by taking their tour of duty under arms, and leaving the sick with less efficient attendance ; whatever view may be taken of that question, there seems to be uo doubt that the arrangements have proved insufficient, and that adequate hospital attendance in camp has yet to be provided. It is understood that this defect is in course of being remedied ; but, as it was much animadverted upon at the commencement of the campaign, we may briefly notice the previous practic, in the army, and the course adopted to meet the difficulties as they arose. " The British army has hitherto, during peace, been kept on so limited an establishment that it was necessary to resn.t to every expodientin order to economise its numbers. This, no doubt, originated the long-established practice of having the hospital duties performed by men fromthe ranks, instead of by persons especially enlisted for that duty. The former, when no great pressure of sickness requires their presence in hospital, can be made available for military duty, while the lat ter are a permanent source of expense without any such contin gent advantage. That system has worked moderately a-ell for a long series of years, but when the army was required for ser vice in Turkey its numbers were so limited that it became ne cessary to add to the effective strength by every possible expo dient,and ono of the readiest which presented itself was to restore to the ranks the men usually withdrawn for hospital service, and to replace them from some other source. " Nations whose armies are raised by conscription are never likely to encounter any difficulty in providing attendants on the sick. Out of the largo number of conscripts annually placed at the disposal of the Government there will always be many who, from their particular aptitude for that service, or on account of their being leas fitted for more active military duty, can be selected with advantage ; but an army which has to depend entirely upon voluntary enlistment possesses no such facilities; the strictness with which all military obli gatioss are interpreted in this country renders it necessary, if he is to be employed exclusively as a hospital attendant, that the recruit should be enlisted specially for that particu lar duty ; and, among men in the vigour of youth, who are iticlined to enter the array, few are disposed to place them selves in the petition of nurses at a time when the operations of active warfare are going on. Although recruiting for this particular service has now been going on for nearly a year, I with pay, pension, and other advantages, much exceeding what is granted to the 'private soldier, the number required is understood still to be incomplete, notwithstanding that re cruits have been taken at a much more advanced ago than they would bo received into any other branch of the service. " But when'the war broke out there was not time to ob tain the necessary attendants for the hospital by the slow pro cess of recruiting; the demand for their services was imme diate, and it was desirable, especially at the commencement of a campaign, that they should have some military experi ence, lest they might prove au encumbrance ; recourse was therefore had to a election from the military pensioners, till some more suitable body of men could be obtained. " The employment of this class, even for the more onerous occupation of garrison duty at home and abroad, was not an innovation ; it has always been the practice, on the com mencement of a war, to call back into the service the pen sioners who may have recovered from their disabilities, or are still of an age to perform garrison duty, and they hold their pensions expressly on condition of attend ing to such calls. During the Peninsular war upwards of 10,020 pensioners a-ere employed in veteran and garrison battalions at home and abroad, and immediately on the breaking out of the present war all those belonging to the navy and marines were re-examined, and abbut 2,000 sent on shipboard, or into the coast-guard, whore they have since been constantly employed. No such call was made for the services of the military pensioners, because it was conceived that they would be equally useful ae an i enrolled force in their respective districts ; but, as - they are a younger body than the Greenwich pensioners, their average age being only be tween forty and fifty, it was not an unreasonable supposi tions considering their previous military expe,ience and habits, that they might be usefully employed iu the hospital and ambulance duties, for which soldiers from the ranks could no longer be spared. " The measures taken to obtain these men, the conditions of their engagemerta and the precautions adopted in regard to their qualifications are detailed by Colonel Tulle& iu memorandum which is annexed ; and, as the various objec tions which have been taken to their employment are there inquired into, it appears unnecessary to enter upon th em here, beyond stating that, if- old and inefficient, as is under stood to have been alleged of thein; they appear by the state ment noted below* to have been singularly fortunate as com pared with the youngest and, most effective part of the force ; the deaths between October and April having been only 53 out of a strength which averaged 270, or under 20 per cent. ; while the mortality in the infantry during the same period was nearly double that proportion. It is trne that these men escaped much of the hard work in the trenches, but they must have sustained a heavy loss by their attendance on the sick, particularly during the prevalence of fever, which in so many iustarces proved fatal to the orderlies. 39,089 In addition to the above, there have been 693 totally destitute persons admitted into the wards, of whom 57 have died, and 636 have been discharged cured or relieved The number of accidents admitted for a brief period into the wards was 109, of whom 18 died and•9l were cured or relieved not present. Making a total of 39,891 which, added to those admitted in former years, made a total of persons admitted into the hospital since its com mencement of 521,493. Mr. BRUCE then moved that the report be approved of, printed, and circulate-1, together with the financial statement and medical report ; and Mr. HALL having seconded the motion, it was put from the chair and unanimously agreed to. • The thanks of the meeting having been then awarded to the committee of management for the past year, to the treasurer, Mr. Masterman, M.P., who was re-elected, and to the auditors, Mr. PRITCHARD, High Bailiff of Southwark, said lie had to propose a vote of thanks to a gentleman which he did act rise to do as a mere matt r of routine, for the gentleman he bad referred t) bad rendered great and efficient service to the institution, and it was, therefore, right and proper that, at the close of another year of his distinguished services, they should at least give expres sion to the appreciation in which they held those ser vices and the interest he took in the institu tion. The gentleman he referred to was Dr. Marsden, the founder of the charity; and he begged to propose that the cordial thanks of the meeting be given to him for the interest he continued to take in the institution, and the valuable services lie was continually rendering to it. Mr. HOOPER having seconded the resolution, it was put from the chair, and cordially agreed to. Dr. AIARSDEN, in acknowledging the compliment, stated that he had now arrived at the t wenty-eightli year of his service to the institution, and he rejoiced to think that while his powers, mental as well as physical, might be on the decrease, the powers of the institution were increasing rapidly. Tnere was a pleasing circumstance connected with the meeting, and it had struck him only since be cattle into the room—it was the pleasure he felt at seeing Mr. Spottiswoode in the chair. He called upon that gentleman at the com mencement of the institution—before the doors of it were opened—in order to request his support to it. That support was readily given, Mr. Spottiswood becoming an annual subscriber of ten guinea., an I promising all the assistance he could give, and it gave him much pleasure to see him now presid ing over them. Another circumstance in connection with the institution he must allude to. Frequently when he (and, be had no doubt, other friends of the institution met with the same remark) is talking of the Free Hospital, be is asked what makes it• entitled to the appellation of free more than any other in London Was not Bartholomew's and Guy's Hospitals as free to destitute persons as it' Now, to some extent, this was so ; but, in considering the point, they must go back to the state of matters which prevailed at the time this hospital was founded. At that time there was not such a thing as free admission to the destitute sick in any hospital in London ; but be was happy to say that the example this institution bad set bad compelled the old and richly-endowed institutions to relax their rules and regulations, and to become to a certain extent free. (Cheers.) Therefore, they had not only been the means of relieving upwards of half a mil lion of sick and destitute individuals, but they had also been the cause of throwing open all the hospitals in London to the destitute. A vote of thanks was next passed to the honorary medical officers, Drs. Brinton, Hassan, Glover, and fl. Bennet, and Messrs. T. Wakley, Weedon Cooke, De Mari; A. Marsden, J. S. Garnet), T. Carr Jackson, to which Mr. W. Cooke, and Mr. A. Marsden (who has newly returned from the Crimea) responded. Dr. MARSDEN said it would be seen from the report that four of their medical officers had been absent in the Crimea during the past year, and the place of one of these (Dr. Glover) had been supplied by Dr. O'Connor, a gen tleman of professional character not surpassed in the metropolis for ability. The able manner in which he had performed his duties, he, as one of his colleagues, could bear ready testimony to, and he had therefore much plea sure in proposing that the special thanks of the meeting be given to Dr. O'Connor for having undertaken and e fficiently performed the duties of Dr. Glo ver during his absence, and that he he requested to continue his ser vices until that gentleman's return. Mr. PRITCHARD seconded the m otion, dially adopted. was happy that Dr. O'Coesetort returned thanks. Re which was cer for e of the duties hatever himself that w the institution. He coul d say he had his services had given satisfactian t o the governors of time he had spent in th e discharg ensated by the be undertaken he was amPiY c om p nefit of the great experience he had received.

It would, therefore, be h had s Sc poor a where e o to him a source of pleasure on all occasions to promote its interests, and to gain for it the support of his ac quaintances and friends. (Cheers.) The committee for the current year was then appointed, and the proceedings terminatedwith vote of thanks to a the chairman. •••.•.•S, THE NEW TOTETROPOLITAN POLICE BILL. - Sir G.

'WSPAPER lr itW etr‘ ROYAL GENERAL THEATRICAL FuN • Yesterday the annual meeting of the Royal Ge'Ner . Theatrical Fund was held in the saloo n o f th e Ly ce • c>i . 7 Theatre, for the purpose of receiving a statem e nt o f th e , a s affairs Of the association, and transacting the usual bu s i-7 ness. Mr. T. H. Lacy .(in the absence of J. B. Buck stone, Esq.) was called to the chair. Mr. CULLENFORC, the secretary, before submitting to the meeting the financial statement for the year, alluded t' the early period at which Ash Wednesday, this year, occurred, and in consequence he was not able to bring up the acconnts so as ,to include the fourth quarter of the year, but he believed that it would be within Si. of the amount stated. He next adverted to the grant of 10/. to Mrs. Macnamare, and although that lady was not a member, the board of directors left it to the meet ing to entfirin or reject that grant as they might see fit to do. Ho then gave the following abstracts for the past year :—Members' subscriptions, 6311. ls. ld. ; act mission fees, 471. 108. ; interest on capital stock, 2101. 15s. ; interest on deposits in the Royal British Bank, 451. Gs. lid. ; arrears of donations, 101. Bs. ; profit on annual dinner, 2511. 16s. 3d. ; making a total of 1,196/. 17s. 3d. The expenditure was—T. annuitants' fund, 5261. 18s. 7d. ; sundry other expenses, 1371. 14s. sd. ; leaving a balance in hand of 5321. 4s. 3d. The funded stock of the association amounted to 8,649/. 7s. Dur ing the year they had admitted 16 new members, and they had lost four by death. The present number of subscribing member] was 147, and 11 annuitants, mak ing a total of 158 ; and the total number of members from the commencement was 248. The meeting had heard the items read, bat he should be most happy to answer any questions that might be put to him. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the meeting on the sa tisfactory report that had been presented. Mr. WORRALL proposed that the report should be re ceived and adopted, which was seconded by Mr. Comas, and carried unanimously. The following trustees were then unanimously re elected :—Benj. Bond Cabbell, Esq., Charles Dickens, Esq., and W. C. Macready, Esq. John Baldwin Buckstona, Esq., was unanimously elected treasurer for the ensuing year. Me•=srs. A. Youngs, Cowie, F:Frampton, H. Butler, and Moreili, who went out by rotation, were re elected directors, and Mr. Joseph Reynolds and Mr. Samuel Cowell were also elected directors in the place °flit% J. Howard and Mr. Addison, the latter gentleman being now manager of the York circuit. Mr J. T. JERWOOD, the solicitor to the fund, said that Mr. T. P. Cooke was now present, and he (Mr. Jerwood) had a bond which was required to be sealed in their presence, being a grant by Mr. Thomas P. Car , ke to the Royal General Theatrical Fund of the sum of 1861. 3s. 9d., being the produce of 2051.. 3s. lid.. 3 per Cent Annuities. It was the remains of a fond eats blishedia—Mr. T. ke me ears acro _cAlled the, Coburg Fund, and that gentlensatilild nw — diiiifinted that it should be transferred to this association. Mr. Coolie had °insulted his solicitor, and if he had given it to them under the Trustee Act it would have been at tended with great expense ; but he was advised that, if this associstion entered into a bond, he could then hand it overt; o them. Mr. WOREALL moved, and Mr. CowELL seconded, r*, motion, that this association do give Mr. T. P. Cooke a bond of indemnity for the receipt of the Coburg Fund. The bond was then produced, and the seal affixed in the presence of the meeting. Mr. S. COWELL moved the thanks of the association to Mr. T. P. Cooke. Mr. T. P. CooKE sincerely thanked them. He had a' ways 1-,een anxious for the welfare of the fund. When he joined the Coburg Fund they got together about 2001., but the person in whose hands it was placed de camped with it. He was then appointed trustee but he had endeavoured to maintain the money, which was placed in his hands, intact. The fund originally en trusted to him was 861., and yesterday it amounted to 1861., the effect of compound interest. The thanks of the meeting were hiso voted to Mr. Jerwood. Mr. JERWOOD acknowledged the compliment. Mr. FRAMPTON moved the thanks of the meeting to J. B. Buckstone, Eq. (who had arrived), who, for 16 years, had given his valua'ilo assistance to the associa tion, and who was at all times willing to promote their rote rests. Mr. COWELL seconded the motion, which was carried by acclatnation. Mr. BUCKSTONE made a suitable reply, and the m eat ing was dissolved. INQUEST ON JOHN MONAGHAN, AT MANCHESTER. The adjourned inquest on the body of John Mona ghan, whose body bad been exhumed, after interment since August last, on suspicion of poison having been administered in the f)rin of acetato of lead, took place in the office of E. Tlerford, Esq., coroner for Mulches- ter, yesterday afternoon. The prisoners is custody on the charge, having been committed since their appro- henaion on the charge of forging Monaghan's will, were Mr. Edward Frankland, professor of chemistry st Ovven's College, Marchester, said—l received five ves sels ; one of them contained the stomach and intestines :of the deceased), the second vessel contained the liver, the third the kidneys, the fourth the brain, and the fifth the lungs..- They were sealed up with a private seal. I • examined, first, - portions of the stomach and intestines. examint:d them for lead, arsenic, antimony, mercury, and other mineral poisons. I found no mineral poison in them except a trace of zinc. I then examined the liver, and in that I found a trace of lead; also a trace of copper, but no other poison. I then examined the kid neys, and found in them a trace of zinc only. The lungs and brain contained no mineral poison. I did not exa mine for vegetable poisons, because the length of time which has elapsed since the death of the deceased would preclude the satisfactory detection of such poisons. There was nothing in the appearance of the intestines to indi cate that poison heel been taken. I examined the sun. mach and intestines to see if I could find any indication of metallic poisoning, but could find none. By IV r. Bradlaugh (for the prosecution )—I understand you to say that from the state in which the intestines were you could not say whether death had been caused by poison or not ?—I could not say from the appearance of the intestines whether death had been caused by poison. The state of &composition was so advanced as to prevent that to a great extent.—Have you any means of estimating the quantity of lead found ?—The quantity was too minute to ascertain it by weight almost, but I should say the :lead in the liver would not exceed a grain.—Which of the three did you find in the greatest quantity, z'ric, lead, or copper ?—I think zinc.—l un derstand you to say you do not express any opinion as to the cause of death ?—Oh, certainly : I draw the opinion from the analysis, that death had not been caused by poison.—For a quantity of lead taken into the system, about what quantity would be retained in the liver ? That is a question I could not answer ; where mineral . poisons have been taken, there is usually a dinat,tity passes into the liver, and would be retained there longer than anywhere else.—Wiiat quantity of zinc do you estimate to have been foutpl ?—Not possibly more than three grains, and I think not more than two.—Then. from your analysis, you are a opinion that death was not caused by metallic poisoning ?—Yes. In answer to further questions from the ooroner, from Mr. Fernley (for the defence), and from Mr. Bradlangb, the witness went on to say that the quantity of lead found in the liver was far too small to be de resi 'num of such a quantity as would be necessary for poisoning, and was riot much morq than would be found in the liver of many persons who had not died from poisons, as, for instance, from drinking water which had passed throrgh lead piping. Lead was one of the substances absorbed into the softer part of the liver more than any other poisons. Acetate of lead,.zinc, and copper were commonly given in medicines - for cases of dysentery ; but if ho had found as large a quantity of lead as eight or ten grains he should suspect poisoning. Acetate of lead would not act as a poison except in large quantities, and if given in gin or whisky would be likely to pass out of the system without injury. It would not operate as a poison unless absorbed into the system. As mach as an ounce had been given (unintentionally) and passed off without acting as a poison. When carbonate of lead was formed it would act as a poison, and even small doses of the carbonate of lead would produce death. He was satisfied that in this case death could not have been produced by a mineral poison. By Mr. Bradlaugh—Large doses of acetate of lead, would have a h e e e a l y e ; r g a iv te e d n dtoeaatnb,obldutminanthlaiktecadseecleaarsged, e q would been found in the system.

We continue today the publication of the second re port from Sir John WNeill and Cal. Tulloch upon the state of the army last year in the Crimea : 41 TENTS. " Numerous complaints were made regarding the tents, principally that many of them were old, thin, and worn out, and that a sufficient number of marquees had not been avail able for the hospitals. It may, therefore, be necessary, briefly to advert to this supply, although our information in regard to it is very imperfect, owing to the interruption of our in quiries in the Quartermaster-General's department, from tho causes previously referred to. " It appears from a return, printed in the Appendix to the third report of the Committee on the Army before Sebasto pol,' that the total number of tents issued to that army, up to the 31st of March, 1855, was—hospital marquees, 194 ; officers marquees, 223; and circular tents, 10,733. Of these, it is stated that none had previously been issued, except 65 hospital marquees, 101 officers' marquees, and 1,238 circular tents, which had been employed only during the temporary encampment at Chobham ; 122 of the circular tents had also been used elsewhere. Considering that the ordinary duration of a tent is generally from two to three campaigns, and that those in question were examined, and all requisite repairs effected, before thoy were again issued, it is improbable that they could have been in an insufficient state. It is more likely that complaints on this head have arisen from the insufficiency of any tents, of the ordinary structure, to afford shelter against the inclemency of the winter in the Crimea. " The scale on which the circular tents was issued was : To Officers of Infantry and j 2 eircular tents to eachfiold officer Cavalry men. To Infantry Regiments { 1 do. to every 15 4 do. extra for guards 1 go. to every 12 men To Cavalry Regiments " Each regiment took out a sufficient number of tents on. this scale for the fall establishment, though many were consi derably below it, and the draughts subsequently forwarded to the Crimea also took out tents - proportioned to their strength. There must, therefore, have been enough, beyond what was really necessary for the accommodation—of the troops, to replace any that might have become unserviceable, either from wear and tear or from accident ; but a reserve of above 500' tents was also seat out in the course of the sum mer, expressly to provide for any such wants. It would be superfluous to go further into the particulars of this supply. That the number of tents furnished -to the army much ex ceeded what they were ever likely to require, is sufficiently established by the fact of its having, at tho beginning of De cember, been m , realhan equal to one-fourth of the numerical force then present. " In order to provide against any want of hospital mar quees, each regiment, whether of cavalry or infantry, took out at least one with it ; a few went out in the waggons of the Ambulance Corps, and a reserve of 70 were sent out at the request of Dr. Smith, on the 29th of April, 1854, and reached Varna in August, where they were distributed as stated in page 115 of Appendix. " Altogether there could not have been fewer than 120 hos pital marquees in possession when the force left for the Cri mea, yet,ln the end of that year, it appears from the Report of the Medical Commissioners (page 9),' that there were only 37 marquees with the whole force. The regimmts ' it is un derstood, left their marquees with their heavy baggage at Varna, beyond which we have been unable to trace them. It is said that a large quantity of stores was lost or abandoned there after the removal of the troops, of which these may have formed a part ; but we are without any decided evidence to that effect. "When it became necessary, in consequence of the ad vanced state of the season, to provide some better shelter than tents for the troops, great difficulties presented them selves. The whole of the country, within the narrow limits occupied by the army, had already been denuded of wood for the sake of fuel ; most of the houses of the former inhabi tants had been destroyed for the same object; and even the loose surface stones had, in most places, been used up in building low walls to afford a slight shelter for the regimental horses, or for cooking places ; consequently few materials of any kind were available exctpt what could be imported. " No scarcity of wood existed along the shores of the Black Sea, but the difficulty was to provide it at the camp in suffi sient quantities for building purpoi.es. Hired labour could not be obtained, and the demands for the services of the troops in the trenches, and for other milit try duties, were such that they could not bo spared to prepare it, even had they been capable of doing so. " As soon as it was decided, therefore, that the army was to winter in the Crimea, vessels were despatched by Lord Raglan to several of the ports in the Black Sea, in the hope of obtaining boarding and scantling of such dimensions as to admit of being cut into tho required lengths, to afford shelter. Contracts were also entered into in England, about Vie middle of November, for wooden huts, of which the parts were so fitted that, with the aid of the printed directions and litho graphed plans which accompanied them, the whole might be put together even by unskilled workmen. " These huts were framed of the lightest material that could with safety be used, the boards being only about three-Aual ters °tan inch in thickness ; they were 281 t. long, 6ft. wide, and from 11 to 12ft. in height to the ridge pole ; with a gra dual slono to about Eft at the side, and c ilculated to contain from 20 to 25 persons, though, under ordinary circumstances, they would scarcely have been considered sufficient for half that number. The men were raised from the ground by slop ing floors, on each side, of inch-plank, leaving an unfloored space of about 3ft. wide down the centre, in which there was a stove for the purpose of cooping and wa7ath. The total weight of each but, including . the irOn-work, was about 2. tons. Of these nearly 1,400 - were sent out. Annther description of wooden hut, but less complete, and formed of heavier timber, was obtained from Trieste, to the number, it is understood, of nearly 100 ; consequently there can be no doubt that a sufficiency of hut accommoda tion or building materials, was provided for all, had it only been practicable to make it available. " The difficulties which subsequently arose in regard to land transport do not appear to have been contemplated when these huts were ordered ; otherwise it must have oc curred to the authorities, that when the whole land trans port of the army was insuffisient to carry to the front the supplies necessary for the subsistence of the men, the arrival of 2,500 tons of building material' was more likely to aid to the confusion of a crowded harbour and crowded wharves than to diminish the sufferings of the troops. Even now it is doubtful whether the labour undergone by the men in carry. ing those huts to the heights, during the months of January and February, was compensated by the advantages derived from them, though these were admitted to bo great. Some of the commanding officers declined to employ their mon on that duty, believing that the evils were greater than the ad vantages. " The first arrival of the loose boarding and scantling from ports in the Black Sea took place on the 25th November, and the distribution commence d on the 2d December, when Major Hall was appointed to superintend it, whose evidence, in regard to the mode of distribution and the extent to which it was carried, will be found elsewhere. " The quantities received, and the vessels by which they were brought, as well as the dates of their arrival, are as follow : Number 'Sumba of of Date of Arrival. Names of B o ards Pieces Remarks.

It is probable that this circumstance may have given rise to the complaints of wood having been reftised during this period, though there was abundanCe in store. There was plenty, certainly, but not of a suitable description for building pur poses, as boards from an inch to an inch and a-half thick could not be made to serve the purpose of uprights, particu larly where tempestuous weather was to be expected. " Efforts were made by scarping the sides of hills to obtain cover with a very limited quantity of scantling, particularly for horses and baggage animals ; but this expedient only af forded a very partial remedy. " The supply obtained by the vessels before referred to was chiefly used by the Royal Artillery, the Cavalry, the 71st and 93d Regiments at Balaklava, and two or three of the corps in front ; but it must be borne in mind that, for the reasons before specified, comparatively few of the buildings for those regiments could be erected till the severest part of the winter was over. " A detailed statement of the quantity distributed to each regiment up to the 30th of April, hanged in by Major Hall, will be found in page 124 of Appendix, of which the following is a summary : The total vras.... : •• • • • • And there remained on hand at that date, as shown at page 12:5 of Appendix • Total accountel for The total quantity received originally was Unaccounted for according to the returns fur- 1 ntehed — Boards and acantilng I planks. pieces. 69 , 89 0 I 11,829 1,500 60,531 13,329 77,672 19,434 17,141 1 6,105 " It is stated by Major Hall that great difficulty was expe rienced durinc , the winter in the custody of the timber, i n consequence of the want of space near the wharves to stack it properly, and that a considerable loss was also sustained i n conveying it to its destination by fatigue parties ; both of which circumstances may no doubt have contributed to so large a proportion being unaccounted for as appears in the above summary. " HUTS FROM TRIESTE. " The Trieste huts were not received by the engineer's de partment, and, therefore, we are unable to furnish any par ticulars in regard to the distribution of them; it is under stood they were principally used for stores, civil establish ments, and the accommodation orsome of the labourers and followers attached to the army, as the boarding and scantling was of too heavy a description to admit of being readily moved to the localities occupied by the troops. "HUTS FROM ENGLANV. - " The huts constructed in England were ready within a very short period, but considerable difficulty arose in obtain ing transport, so that the first cargo did not arrive at Bala klava till the 25th of Denriber. Three mere arrived in the C ( . 41410 of that mouths Iva in t4O ant week olJativazy three at the end of that month, and the remainder in February. Before the first vessel arrived, however, the troops had to be employed in carrying provisions to the front, and so ranch had their strength been reduced by tlaeir 'sufferings, and such was tile state of the roads, that a weight of front gOlb to, 25111. wits as much as a man could bring up from Balaklava: In deed it is stated in evidence that men could not bare .car ried their arms, accoutrements, and ammunition from the heights to Balaklava and back in a day through such mud as it was necessarito traverse. It consequently required from 250 to 300 men to carry up a single hut sufficient to accom modate, at the utmost, 25, men ; and as, at this rate, it was impossible tp spare a sufficient numbei from their other duties, the attempt had to be abandoned, ab h nigh that ac . :o.nutio la tion, if there had been transport,, would have been of theut most advantage during the rest of the winter. " It appears from the evidence of the Compaissary.General that 270 Spanish mules were appropriated by Lord Raglan to the conveyance of these huts; but when we arrived early in March, although they had been erected for a considerable por tion of the corps in the immediate vicinity of Balaklava, only two or three of those in front were hutted; by great exertion a few huts had also been got up there for hospitals. • " A summary of the information received from officers com manding corps, ,in reply to No. 20 of the printed queries, shows that, by the end of April or beginning of May, the Guards, Cavalry, Royal Horse Artillery, and . 9 Infantry Corps, with the Artillery of two Divisions, had been completely hut ted: that S Infantry Corps were still Without any huts; that 12 Infantry Corps, the Artillery of three Divisions, Naval Brigade, and Siege Train, hadlitftefor their hospitals only ; and that 11 Infantry Corps, with the Royal Marines, were partially hutted, to the extent of from one-fourth to one-half of the men. " A letter from Capt. Keane, of the Royal Engineers, the officer in charge of woodon huts sent from England, shows generally the state of the supply, and the reason why it mend sooner made applicable to the accommodation of the men. " SHELTER FOR 1 1 0R8E8. " The date at which the hutting of the cavalry commenced was in no case earlier than the end of Jan. or beginning of Feb., and it was not completed before the Middle of March; by which time the severity of the season tad so far •afsifed, that this shelter was of comparatively little importance. Con- sidering that these men were within about a mile of the wbereilwwgo4 . 3xlight be- obt,ained, that they 1704416 iree kti the trenches, and that the only duties likely to laterftrewtthtl the application both of horses and men to this important ob ject was the carrying up of their own forage from Balaklava, and furnishing parties occasionally to bring down sick, and carry up provisions to the front (which seems never to have occupied more than about a sth part of the whole), it appears strange that more rapid progress was not made in obtaining the advantage of hut accommodation, particularly when they are described as having suffered so much in their tents. Considering, also, the suffering and severe loss of horses from exposure to the weather in the commencement of the winter, there appears to have been a want of promptitude or ingenuity in devising for them some means of temporary shelter, such as saved the baggage-horses of the Sappers and Miners at Balaklava Experience has now proved that even a very moderate degree of shelter would have been sufficient to save the live's of many of the horses, if not to maintain them in serviceable condition ; and it must be presumed that such measures were considered practicable, for a proposal to erect, with the assistance of his men, some sort of cover for the horses of the corps, appears to have been made by the officer commanding the Scots Greys, but the manner in which it is stated to have been received by the Lieut.-General com manding the cavalry was calculated, to deter other officers from making any similar proposal. " CAUSES OF MORTALITY. " The returns of sickness and mortality furnished by the medical officers relate to matters which are beyond the limits assigned to this inquiry, and, therefore, have not been sub mitted on this occasion ; but the mortality in the Crimea has been too remarkable not to excite a strong desire to ascer tain, if possible, its causes. The medical evidence appears to be conclusive against attributing it to anything peculiarly unfavourable in the climate, and all the officers, of whatever rank or profession, whom we examined, referred to overwork, improper diet, exposure to cold and moisture, with deficient shelter, inadequate clothing, and defective boots, as the causes of disease. Some of the witnesses appeared to attri bute gre tter influence to one of these causes, some to another, but there can bo no doubt that the mortality wits really the effect, not of any cause apart from the others, but of a com bination of the whole. It was the greatest among the in fantry corps employed in front, upon whom the duty fell most severely, but those corps were also more exposed to the ether causes of disease. The barbour of Balaklava was the source of all supplies, - and the corps necessarily suffered more than the rest of the army from the deficiency of transport. When the men were compelled, in consequence, to carry up their own stores of every sort, they suffered in proportion to the distance to bo traversed in the mud, and the length of time they were ox.posed to the weather. " The corps stationed in front aloe suffered more from the' deficiency of everything that was necessary to tho proper treatment of the sick ; they could not even get their share of such supplies as-could be procured at Balaklav,t; Men who were struck down by disease in the camp in front had thus less chance of recovering than those of other corps, and the proportion of deaths to admissions into hospital is accordingly much greater than in the rest of the army. But that is not all; when patients were to be sent to Scutari the difficulty of removing them from the front to the harbour was sometimes found to be insuperable, in consequence of the want of trans port, while the corps stationed near Balaklava removed them with comparative facility. Even . when the means of convey ance were provided, it was a formidable demand upon a sick man's remaining strength to require him tosit, exposed to the weather, upon a cavalry horse era pack mule, floundering through deep mud, for the two or three hours which the jour ney from the front to Balaklava occupied during a great part, of the winter. His chance of recovery was thus further dimi nished by the delay, the exposure, and tho fatigue attending his removal. " The mortality in the whole'army was further increased by the disease which broke out at Scutari, and carried off many men who had entered the hospital with a prospect of speedy recovery, or who had actually recovered from the dis eases for which they were admitted. Had the sanitary condi tion of those establishments been from the first what it after wards became, there can be little doubt that the mortality would have been perceptibly reduced. " MEDICAL SUPPLIES, " The supplies and arrangements connected with the me. dical department of the army in the Crimea have been in vestigated by a medical commission, whose report supersedes the necessity for any detailed consideration by us of those subjects; but, as much of the evidence we have received re lates to a period subsequent to the date of that report, we think it right to state shortly the results of the information we have obtained. " The army landed in the Crimea without hospitaj mar quees, conveyance for the sick, or any other supplies for the hospitals than were contained in the pair of pa.nttiors belong ing to each corps, and the supplies of almost every descrip tion required for the proper accommodation and treatment of the sick in camp seem to have been very deficient till the middle of February. There was also a scarcity of cots, or of any substitute, such as boards and trestles ; but this was not much complained of, because they could not have been used in the tents in which most of the sick were placed. There was a great deficiency of mattresses ; and straw, or other materials to fill paillasses could not be supplied ; and even as late as the month of April many of the sick in front had no other bedding than blankets or buffalo robes, the latter of which were not issued till the end of January. They suffered still more, perhaps, from the want of adequate shelter and sufficient space to admit of their being properly attended to ; as, owing to the want of hospital marquees in the camp, the greater part of the sick lay in circular tents,* which are alto gether unfitted for the purposes of an hospital, and it was not until the huts sent out from England were erected iu Febru ary and March that the accommodation was such as to admit of proper medical treatment. . " Nearly all the medical officers of the infantry corps in front complained of the want of transport to bring up from Balaklava even the most indispensable supplies to the hospi tal. Major-General Codrington, commanding the first bri gade of the Light Division, says :,--4 The hospitals suffered terribly from this want of transport. Their state was fright ful, from the increasing number of sick, the diminishing means of transport, and the consequent impossibility of doing anything for the sick.' " During the month of February the supplies of me(' eines and medical comforts began to improve, and by the middle of March they seem to have been generally ample. The issues of blankets and the supply ef buffalo robes in the end of January had previously provided a tolerable substitute for bedding , and when the hospital buts were erected, these, together with such marquees as, the corps had previously pos sessed, afforded sufficient and comfortable accommodation. In the month of April, when fresh bread was issued, the me dical officers generally declared that they wore,perfectly satis fied with the supplies and the accommodation provided for their patients. " Even after the supplies of medicines had become gene rally abundant, it occasionally happened that some ef those which were most employed by the medical officers could not be supplied from the general store. Thus there had been a deficiency of opium and of some other medicines much em ployed during the prevalence of diseases of the bowels, and after the store had been amply replenished with those reme dies the decrease of that class of ailments and the increase of fevers caused a demand for quinine which the stores were not always able to satisfy. " The proportion of deaths to admissions in some of the diseases bears painful evidence, particularly in the month of December, to the absence of those remedies on which reliance the could best be placed for relief.. In chole ra, f or i ns t ance , the usual loss has, in our army, be en about one in three at hom e, or on foreign stations where th is e p idemic has prevailed ; but in the Crimea, during the pe riod under observation, it was two in every three attacked. " As instances of the difficul t y of p ro curing medicines , we have give* the requisitions mad e b y several of the medical officers, with the quantities rece ived ; but it must not be deficiency y wanted. Most of appear s in the requisi tionssupposed, o f others,that because no t h s o u y c such received all the officers, finding it useless to send for medicines and medi cal comforts not in store, limited their requisitions to such as they knew could be given, and did the best they could with them. " The circumstances in which the medical officers were placed, owing to the want of those supplies, as well as of every description of diet, acco mmodation, or comfort essen tial to the recovery of the sic k, were the most painful that can be conceived. We prefer leaving it to. be described iu their own words, and shall confine ourselves to the expression of our conviction that if they were unsucceseful in their treat ment to an extent which has seldom occurred in the annals of medical practice, it has not been for want of constant at tention and unceasing and energetic efforts on behalf of their patients. The appeals of scree of them to tho se au thorities whom they, perhaps erroneouslyf conceived had the power of assisting them were most forcible and pathetic ; and if all did " * The circular tent used in the British army, which is calculated to contain 15 men, is altogether unsuited for an hospital in any climate. It affords veryinsufficient protection against cold, or rain, or heat. When there is much wind in wet weather, the rain beats through the canvass, and when it blows upon the door, which is continually opened for ingress and egress, the rain is driven to all parts of the tent. The pole being in two pieces, for the- convenience of carriage, is weak at the joint, and in sto rm y weather is apt to give way. The side wall is too low to a d m it of any kind of cot, if there be more than two or three men in the tent ; the space is too con- ' fined to admit of proper attendance on the paidents, even by the medical officer; and it is impossible with safety to use a stove or other means of wauziing it. In short, whatever may be the supp osed advantagerliat have led to its adoption as a barrack tent, it would be difficult to contrive vythipg much ilagTe Unfit 1 . 0)!AIN accommpdgaola of _llc From 20th July to 30th Sept., ISM.. let Oct. to 31st Dec., 1854 .. f I t Jan. to 31st March, 1855.. „ Ist April to) 301 h Jane, 1855.. l et July to 35th Sept., 1855.. „ Ist Oct. to 31st Dee , 1855 ....

A meeting was held last evening at the London Coffee house, Ludgate-hill—Sir James Duke, M.P., in the chair—to discuss the propriety of converting the site of Smithfield-market into a central dead-meat market. M‘.. Ross addressed the meeting at great length in fa vour of such an object, and concluded by moving a reso lution to the effect, that as the chairman of tie Board of Works had been authorised to consider the best site to be selected for the removal of Newgate and Leaden hall markets ; and as it was a question affecting the in terests of two millions and a half of people, and it being desirable to establish a market wh ere the people cou4d procure food in the best condition and at the lowest pos sible rate, it was resolved that the site of Smithfield was adapted to that purpose. MT. RICHARDS seconded the motion, which was sup. In v/it: co :he ported by Mr. G. Brook, of Leadenhall-market ; M r . Potter, of Farringdon-street ; mon councilman), and was carried unanimously.
