TREAME ROYAL, corm SARDEN Lessee for the Christmas Pantomime, Mr. J. H. ANDERSON. - EXTENSION OF THE SEASON. Postponement of Mr. Anderson's Benefit. Immense Success of Rob Roy and Black-eyed Susan.—Novel ties in Preparation. In assuming the management at , Christmas last of the 'attest theatre in London, Professor Anderson pledged him self the public to produce the most gorgeous, and, if pos '4ole, the best pantomime of the season. • Efficiently to carry out that pledge he determined to spare no cost, nor fail to * tail himself of whatever talent he could discover and eom- Inand. His arrangements were made fora period of six weeks, ' 9 ver which term he did not expect the pantomime to run. En ,entintering many difficulties in producing a pantomime at a nee where none had been for years—where nearly all the machinery had to be constructed and every " property" to be e---The Belle Alliance, or The Field of the Cloth of Gold, W as Placed on the stage at an outlay of nearly 7,0001., and being at once recognised by the press and by the public as ' m ing worthy of the house at which it was presented and the n uprecedented expenditure incurred iu its production. Its rinPularity has increased at every representation. At the pre sent moment, after a run of 40 nights, between 2,000 and 3 ,000 persons pay nightlyat the doors to witness its grotesque Incidents, its gorgeous appointments, and its magnificent scenery, The operatic drama of Rob Roy, and the ever- Popular melodrama of Black-eyed Susan, produced , as they nave been, at a cost as lavish as that bestowed on the panto- Taira°, have achieved an equal amount of success. Within the • Walls of Covent-garden larger audiences are assembled every ~meing than in any other theatre of Europe ; while the 'ashionable character of the attendance, and the applause be stowed on the performances, ratify the fulfilment of the pro mises made by the lessee at the commencement of the season, a nd warrant his indulging in self-congratulation at having ac . Under a triumph in the way of successful management. , Juder these circumstances he has had no hesitation in ar ' ranting with the directors of the theatre for its occupancy : 1 ,1411 it is re q uired for, the purposes of the Royal Italian "Pen, at the commencement, of the next London season. The !!:tension of his lease has been most courteously accorded to "fl, and increased facilities granted for producing various • novelties. The pantomime, on account of its • great success, Will be repeated nightly ; Rob Roy and Black-eyed Susan will be perfo r med on alternate nights until further notice ; the same attention which has been paid to their production 114 regards scenery, costumes, and other accessories to effect, Will be paid to everything eise produced under the present .. )4 anagement. The unqualified approbation of the auditors, • the cumulative success of each new production, the thronged 'late of the house at every representation, and the satisfac 141TA result of the last six weeks, induce 'Professor An • ` t enon to persevere in a path which has led him to a Position whence he can regard the past with plea . In to. the future with confidence, and the pre sent with proud, unmingled ; , unalloyed gratification. T hat a the sequel to his Christmas season will be characterised 3' the sam e a m oun t o f go od fortune which has hitherto at • 'ended his career at Covent-garden he is perfectly assured, the • s ame_, causes which have already clicitedsuccess will, without nht, continue to produce it, amplifying at the same time 48 amount and its certitude. The public are respectfully ap 13tiged, that however popular any piece produced under tho Present management may be, the number of its representations Will be limited ; thus, for instance ' - Rob Roy and Black-eyed "sun will be played on alternate nights daring the present "eek, but 113 promise can be made of their repetition beyond t hat term, unl e ss it be found to comport with other arrange til t Should be booked early by those who are desirous of seeing t, • 14 . grandest Scottish spectacle ever placed on the stage, or the revival of Douglas Jerrold's celebrated melodrama with more attention to the miss en scene than has been bestowed 11 Pen it at any time or in any theatre. The dramas which Will succeed these will shortly be announced ; and the renewed `neon of the present management will terminate with the ...„ I)r oduction of English 'opera on a grand scale, introducing the -,7 0 1e of the available English musical talent to bo found in great Britain.

The Earls of Lucan and Cardigan are very busily engaged in preparing their answers to the statements of ,the Crimean report, but cfe must not lose sight of the important fact that merely loose and general re plies can never constitute an answer to the allega tions of the Commissioners and the testimony of the wits nesses. The earls whose conduct is impugned may, and most probably will, broadly deny the statements of the regimental officers ; but we know not why their state ments should be received as truth in opposition to the assertions of officers who were in quite as good a posi tion as they could be for appreciating the actual condi tion of affairs. What is wanted is that some perfectly impartial tribunal should hear the statements both in ac cusation and defence, and decide upon whieh side right lies. What prisoner, what defendant, in any criminal or civil case, does not presume that he has made out a per fectly triumphant defence, if his own statements may be admitted without contradiction ? At the present tno went it so happens that many of the officers who gave their evidence before the Crimean Commissioners are actually is this country, and can be examined in the in terest of the earls ; or cress-examined in the interest of the nation. They, at least, may receive an extension of leave. There is no suggestion that in any case active hostilities are to be resumed for many weeks to come, and it can scarcely be said that the calls of military duty are so imperative as to require the instant depar ture froth this country of gentlemen who can give mate rial evidence. Let it a:so be clearly understood, in order to avoid any recurrence of the futile discussion which occurred the other night in the House of Peers, that the mere prowess and personal courage of the earls are not called in question. Lord Lucan had no opportunity of displaying his valour; it would be preposterous to fix any iarputaton upon him on this score. Lord Cardigan rode in as straightforward a manner over the bloody lists of Balaklava as any trooper under his command ; he could not have done better ; and with this acknowledgement, which we make in simple truth and sincerity, we -pass on to the points really at issue. The charge against the Earls is, that by reason of their improvident administration the British cavalry in the East was destroyed. The horses were starved, uselessly and idly exposed, not put under shelter when shelter might have been procared or con trived ; the cavalry force was, both in Bulgaria and in the Crimea, injudiciously handled ; it was exposed and fatigued when there was no occasion for exposure or fatigue, and the end was that the work' of the enemy was as effectually done by Lords Lucan and Cardigan as it could have been by the Princes Meuschikoff mid Gorts• cbakoff. - In order that we may not be accused even now of ad vancing charges without proper evidence in support we will take a few statements at random from the evidence. Colonel Darby Griffith, of the Scots Greys, was examined by the Commissioners. This officer states that immedi ately after the 14th of November he mentioned to Lord Lucan that his horses were beginning to suffer from the inclemency of the weather ; but we had better give the gallant Colonel's own words. He told Lord Lucan "that he was afraid he should lose a great many horses if some thing was not done to protect them, and that if he could hold out any encouragement to his men to the effect that they were to remai❑ for any length of time in the camp which they then occupied, he could get them to erect souse covering to save them, when his Lordship threatened to place him under arrest for presuming to suggest such a thing." The Earl of Lucan, it appears, like Prince Talleyrand, " objected to zeal." Colonel Griffith, as though any voucher were wanted fur his bare word, adds that the con►ersation occurred in the pre sence of Colonel Hodge, of Lord William Paulet, and others. It is his firm opinion that if his suggestion had been acted on he should have - saved many of the horses which were lost. He attributes the mortality among lis horses to starvation, hard vi ork, and exposure. At last Colonel Griffith succeeded in getting the remains of his regiment under sheds, " the first of them about the 3d of January—having employed, at his own expense, five French soldiers to erect them—and had them com pleted about the middle of January." So what would have been required to preserve the horses of the Scots Greys was an amount of shelter which was ultimately provided by the exertions of five men ; but against such a step Lord Lucan determinedly set his face. It appears that poor Colonel Griffith, being very hardly pressed to get up his sheds in time, in the early part of January applied to General Scarlett to procure for bins the assistance of some ships' carpenters, as there were no carpenters in the regiment. This request for the assistance of men, of whom ma•iy hundreds were idle in the ships within sight, was, of course, refused, not by General Scarlett, who made the application, but by the Quartermaster• General, Sir Richard Airey We turn over a few leaves of the Report, and come to the evidence of the Deputy-Assistant Commissary-Gene ral, Alexander Crookshank. Would any of our readers wish to know the end of the Light Cavalry El iga•de— the remains of the heroic frenzy of Balaklava ? Here it is :—" After twenty days of short rations, the horses being at the same time exposed to very inclement wea ther, on unfavourable ground, the condition of the tr•oop horses was deplorable. When the brigade moved down on the 2d of December, it was necessary to have the horses led, as they were too weak to carry their riders, and, notwithstanding, many of them died on the way from exhaustion, and a considerable number were left on the ground, unable to move, with men to attend to them. The cause of this great deficiency in forage for the brigade was the want of transport to carry it to the front. Believes there never was any ;want of bailey at Balaklava, and that the horses might, therefcre, have had their full rations of grain if there had been any means of carrying it to the camp !" At least the horses might have been led to the barley, if the barley could not be carried to the horses. Thus there was an end of the Light Brigade. The blame of its wanton destruction rests partly among four officers on the day of the futile charge of Balaklava, and, next, upon those officers who starved the horses which returned from that bloody fray. What was Lord Cardigan's share in this latter transaction ? LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBR PUBLICATIONS. NEW WORK BY MISS 134/NEITRY. To-morrow, in 3 vole, post duo., 0 U R OWN STORY.

(From the Morning Herald of this day.) The attention of Ministers, we rejoice to perceive, has been at last directed to the improvement of the commu nication between London and Dublin, and a promise has ! been given that an attempt will be made to remedy the disgraceful state of things that now exists. At present a traveller from London to Dublin may leave this city at nine in the morning, arriving in the metropolis of Ireland at midnight. He may start by , the express train at five in the evening, reaching Dub lin early the next morning ; or he may defer his depar• ture until nine, completing his journey by noon of the next day. The transit from Dublin to London is not quite so rapid, as allowance has to be made at Holyhead for the delay occasioned by an unfavourable passage. Whichever of these passages the traveller may select, he is obliged to spend, even in the most favourable weather, nearly five hours on the sea. He does so in a sea proverbial for its tossing ; there is neither seaman nor landsman who has not heard of the race of Holy head. This boisterous passage is performed in vessels that are said to be built for speed, but are certainly con trived for discomfort. If the problem were to be pro posed how to attend the passage over the 60 miles of water which separate Dublin from the Isle of Anglesea with the maximum of discomfort. the present arrange ment would have been entirely successful in its solution. The evidence taken in 1853 before the committee of the House of Commons which investigated this question abundantly establishes this fact. We need not fatigue the attention of our readers !by repeating the details. Suffice it to say, that this evidence incontestsblv proves that the time spent in the steam-boat between Holyhead and Dublin is to the generality of travellers a period •t discomfort as great as can well be conceived to attend on travelling in a civilised age. This, however, it must be remembered is the interval which practically separates Ireland from England. If by an effort of art we could bridge over those 60 miles of yea, and run the train and the railroad across it, we would go far to make Ireland and England one country. We would do so so far as geographical considerations are concerned. The nearer we can approach to this the more we diminish the severance between the countries. Unimportant as some might consider the subject, the discomforts attendant on crossing the Irish Channel form the real barrier of separation between the countries. If we can make the passage to Dublin as easy as it is to Carlisle, we unite Ireland to London as closely to the county of Cumberland. The evidence to which we have referred establishes, further, that this can be done. A very moderate ex penditure on the part of the Treasury would insure for this service boats that would perform the passage in three bouts, and which would be of a size and a con struct ion that would reduce the inconveniences of the sea voyage almost to nothing. We protest that this is a matter ha which it appears to us that the question of expense is a very secondary one. The consolidation of the union with Ireland is a subject which must not be weighed in scales, to be balanced by an expenditure, at the outside of same 30 thousand a year. The facilitating of the communication between the countries is an object of great imperial interest—everything that brings Ire land nearer to this country adds to the power and con solidates the strength of the empire at large. Let us shorten the journey to Dubli❑ to ten hours—let us take from all the annoyance of the sea passage, and for all practical purposes we have brought every part of Ire• laud nearer to London. The increasing inponring of English visitors into Ire land that would beyond all question follow the improved commuoicatiou would in itself do much to unite the coun tries. There is in Ireland a mine of wealth for English men yet unexplored. Everything that makes the vast resources of that country easy of access to us opens new fields for our enterprise. England is at least as much interested in the subject as Ireland. We earnestly hope that no penurious eco nom y will be s uffered to interfere reasonably y be l attained • and no Ireland with a project of nation al im p ortanc e ; that we shall have the very best and speediest communication between lt t oh l : e l c e t o rr u ah r v i e t e r l e e sr deterreds wt whi°c b hill y caa t y h n e w isrelto naaldisagreeab levisit prospect of a five hours' sea trip, rendered miserable by all the contriv ances which the ingenuity of modern discovery can command. LOCAL DUES ON SHIPPING.--Mr. Lowe's bill was printed yesterday. It contains 52 clauses, the various provisions of which have already been fully explained to the public. The act is divided into four parts, the first relating to passing tolls ; the second relating to taxes applied to other than 25 shipping purposes ; the third to differential duties and exemptions ; and the fourth to miscellaneous matters. The act is to come into opera,ti ou the let of Januai v, 1857. THE TOWN DUES ABOLITION BlLL—During the sit ting of the Liverpool Town Council yester lay a telegra phic message was received from the Liverpool town clerk, now in London, stating that the new bill intro duced into the house by Mr. Lowe had just been printed, and requiring the immediate presence in London of some of the corporate officials. The intelligence created con siderable commotion in the council, a local paper having that morning, apparently semi-officially, announced that the bill would not be printed for another week or so, and that Government were already so sick of the question that it would be withdrawn altogether. The prompt printing of the bill dissipated these pleasant de lusions.

The c.olli 4o took lace on Sunday at mid night off the Nore, on the voyage of the Trader from Portsmouth, with arms, earn [lades ' shot, and Govern ment stores. It appears that r thick fog prevailed at the time of the accident snas to r revent . the lights from being perceived by the look-out, and also that no Maple has been attached to any one, as no necessary precaution was neglected. Both vessels have sustained considerable damage, the Trader having starboard bow knocked away, jibboom broken, bowsprit sprung, and larboard bow damaged.

An augmentation of the Royal Artillery having been decided on, by the addition of two extra battalions, several promotions will in consequence take place from the ranks of that regiment. The average number of volunteers and recruits now joining that corps exceeds 300 per week. Tue artillery batt :ries are frequently brigaded in heavy marching order in the Arsenal marshes at Woolwich, as well as the Horse Artillery, whenever the weather. permits. They likewise' go through sundry rounds of practice with roekets, so that by the spring there is no douht the Royal Artillery Regiment will form one of the most eifieient corps iu her Majesty's service,'. and will" them be more ' than 26,000 strong. Assistant-Surgeon Wright, of the 20th Foot, is ap pointed to take medical charge of the depot of the 91st Regiment at Chatham, and Acting Assistant-Surgeon Grant, 70th Foot, is relieved from duty at the garrison hospital at Chatham, for the purpose of embarking for India to join his corps at Ferozepore. Assistant• Su rgeon Ines, 52d, is under orders at Chatham for embarka tion on the 20th inst. to join his corps in India, sta tioned at Meerut. • Yesterday morning crowds of persons assembled at the terminus of the South-Western Railway to witness the departure of a body of the Scots Fusilier and Coldstream Guards for Portsmouth on their way t 3 the Crimea. Among the officers who proceeded witl them were Col. Dawkins Major Crawley, Capt. Fitzroy, Capt.Caulfleld, Lieut. Dawkins, Capt. Dalrymple, Major Neville, Lieut. Beaumont, Lieut. Erskine, and Dr. Baker. When the Coldstream arrived at the terminus the band struck up "Over the Hills and Far Away ;" and when they reached the platform "Cheer, Bop, Cheer" was performed, the soldiers joining in chorus. The spectators loudly and' enthusiastically cheered the troops until the train was out of sight. The Scots Fusiliers numbered 224 rank and file, and the Coldstream; 270 rank and file. THE MILITIA. The depot of the King's Owu Staffordshire Regiment of Militia remains at Lichfield. Out of the small number at Lichfield 19 men have just volunteered into the Line, 17 have gone into the 80th Regiment, and two into the Grenadier Guards. This regiment of militia is stationed at Argostoli, in the lonian Islands. • On Tuesday Col., Rainier, of the 98th Regiment, ar rivedin Derby to receive volunteers from the Ist Derby Militia, commanded by Lieut.-Col.

The LORD MAYOR gave " the Army and Navy." He was, he said, honoured with the presence of the First Lord of the Admiralty, and of many distinguished officers who had etved in the war. He could assure them of the g ratitude felt by their countrymen of all classes for those noble exertions by which they had in conjunction with our brave allies obtained the prospect of an advantageous peace, not only for ourselves but for the whole civilised world. His lordship coupled the toast with the names of Sir Charles Wood and General Buckley. Sir C. WOOD begged to return thanks for that noble profession the navy, in which be had always taken a warm interest. It was not the first occasioa ox which such a duty has been imposed upon him, or on which the Lord Mayor and his predecessors bad expressed their thanks to the navy for the benefits honferred by it on commerce and on the country. Tue navy was ready now, as ever, to perform all that could be reasonably expected of it, and be was proud to see assembled around that board so many gallant officers who were ornaments of that service. (Cheers.) He saw, not far from the Lord Mayor, a most distinguished friend of his, and it would be inconsistent with every feeling of his bosom if he did not say in what estimation the gallant officer_ was held by all who were called upon to preside over the navy. (Cheers.) They saw in his gallant friend one of the proudest ornaments of a noble profession, and who was only prevented from winning a great victeey because the enemy dare not encounter him. (Cheers.) His example had stimulated every officer under his emu mend to deeds of gallantry, and this bad been shown not only afloat but ashore, for up to the last moment of the siege of Sebastopol the Naval Brigade had taken a moot conspicuous part in the land operations. (Cheers.) In the Baltic, as well as in the Black Sea, nothing could exceed the skill and valour of the navy, and never did it better deserve the approbation of the country. General BUCKLEY having responded on behalf of the army, The LORD MAYOR rose and proposed "The Health of Sir Edmund ;Lyons," to whose eminent services his Lordship drew special attention. He alluded to the gallant admiral's early carreer in the navy, to his visit to the Black Sea, and Sebastop ol in 1829, his diplomatic services in Greece, Switzerland, and Sweden, and his appointment as second iu command under Admiral Deans Dundas when the war brake out. The Lord [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD. Mayor eulogized the manner in which Sir Edmund had organized all the details connected with the transport of the army from Varna to the- Crimea without the loss of a man, and in such a state that within a week after landing it fought .the ever memorable. Battle of Alma. His lordship also referred to the first attack on Sebas topol, when the admiral's ship Agamemnon took up a position so close to Fort Constantine that she had only two feet of water to spare under her keel. This, he said, was a proof of courage, seamanship, and determi nation worthy the best times of the British navy. As chief in command, his vigour and zeal gave the utmost confidence to officers arid men, and raised and main tained that spirit by which so much injury had been in flicted on the enemy—by which the coasts of the Sea of Azoff had been ravaged; and by which the Black Sea, hitherto called a Russian lake, would henceforth be open to commercial vessels. A commander who bad -ren dered such services deserved every honour that a grate ful country can bestow on himy and be (the Lord Mayor) trusted that his corporate friends would show their ap preciation of Sir E. Lyons by enrolling him' among the distinguished men on whom they had conferred the proud and honourable distinction of the freedom of their ancient city. (Cbeerii.) In conclusion, he fervently trusted that it would please God long to preserve the life of Admiral Lyons, that he might enjoy in peace the laurels which he had so nobly won -in his country's 'cause. (Cheers.) . The toast having been drunk with every mark of cor diality and respect, Sir ED3IUND LIONS rose and said that the Lord Mayor had done him the honour to propose his health in terms of commendation far higher than he deserved. To say that he felt highly honoured by the too flattering manner in which the Lord Mayor had expressed himself was only the sample truth, but he was quite unable to express the sentiments with which he was inspired at the cordial reception given to bile by so distinguished a body of the citizens of London, the greatest and moat enlightened commercial community that evor existed, and the spirit of enterprise emanating from which was reflected over the whole world. (Cheers.) He wished that he had established a better claim to the favourable opinion which the company bad extended to him. The war had not admitted of large ships and fleets being got into position, and finally they had been deprived of all opportunity of winning a victory in the Black Sea by the enemy sinking their own vessels of war. In the Baltic, also, his gallant friend Admiral Dundas had in vain invited the Russians to quit the shelter of their granite forts. Nothing but opportunity was wanting, as was proved by what vessels -of light draught had accomplished in the Baltic. Notwithstand ing its sinuosities, its groups of islands, and difficultie s of navigation, not an enemy's ship dared to come out in that sea. (Cheers.) The Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff had also been completely swept, and everywhere a strict blockade had been maintained. (Cheers.) It was very sad indeed that her Majesty's fleet had not had an op portunity of meeting, face to face, that •f the enemy, for never bad it been in a greater state of efficiency. The ships of all classes were as near perfection as could well be imagined —very superior to what they ever were on any former occasion. (Hear, hear.) There had lately been brought into existence a Lilliputian class which, if the war continued, would make itself felt, because 6npable of striking a blow within arm's length. (Cheers.) So much for the ships, and now for the officers. He was afraid that some of their admirals were too old. They were sorry for it—(laughter) —though he hoped the country would forgive them what they could not help. But as to their captains and younger rffrcers, they were equal to any the service ever boasted of. (Cheers.) The ships were also well rearmed, and in the most satisfac tory manner, by volunteers. It'was a proud thin , that the Queen's forces, both by sea and land, serve d' her Majesty with an enthusiastic heroism never surpassed, yet the service was voluntary. (Cheers.) The Lord Mayor had kindly alluded to the part taken by the Agamemnon in the attack on the sea defences of Sebas topol on the 13th of October. In all general actions by sea as well as by land it was the good fortune of some ships or some regiments to take a more prominent pert than others. That was peculiarly the case on the occa sion referred to, for only two or three ships were able to get in close to Fort Constantine. He claimed no more credit for himself and the Agamemnon than was stile to every officer and every other ship engaged. The gallant officer here referred in complimentary terms to the presence of two captains in the fleet engaged in that attack. Ile then proceeded to eulogise the conduct of the Naval Brigade, which took part in the operations of the siege from its commencement to its close, emulating the heroic spirit of the army, and exciting its emulation in return. He doubted, indeed, if the annals of chivalry re corded anything more striking than was to be found in the conduct of Capt, Peel and his aides-de-camp, when wounded, in carrying forward the ladders to scale the lledan. The conduct and efficiency of the mercantile navy during the war also reflected the highest honourjon the country. Those beautiful transports proved to be under the command of men of the highest ability and zeal, and he quoted as conspicuous examples of what service they rendered the conveyance of an entire regi mes& of dragoons to the Crimea by the Himalaya at one trip, and the transport of Omer Pasha's army from Bel guaria to Eupatoria in the depth of winter. Having un bounded confidence in the mercantile navy, he accepted the responsibility of accomplishing that movement. Nor was be disappointed ; for in the month of December, 1855, 57,000 men, 11,000 horses, and 170 guns were landed at Eupatoria with the lo,sr of only one horse. As a further proof of the spirit evinced by the mercantile navy, the gallant admiral gave a humorous description of the appearance presented one morning by the Colombo arriving, her yards slung with turkeys, geese, and fowls to furnish Cristmas dinners for the army. Admiral Lyons concluded by referring in graceful terms to the sympathy evinced by the country in the sufferings which war inflicted on its soldiers and sailors. Nothing, be said, exercised so powerful and beneficial an influence upon the men in both services as those manifestations of the deep interest taken at home for their welfare. Having again thanked the company and the Lord Mayor for the flattering man ner in which his health had been received he resumed his seat amid loud cheers. The LORD Meson then proposed as a toast, "The health of S'lrC. Wood and her Majesty's Ministers." Sir C. WOOD briefly acknowledged the toast, and gave that of the Lord Mayor. "The members of the t ,vo Houses of Parliament," and other formal toasts, were given and duly responded to before the festivities of the evening closed. The dinner was excellently provided and served by Messrs. Staples, and Mr. Harker officiated as toast. master. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE. Yesterday, at a meeting of the representative vestry of St. Pancras, held in the great hall, King's-road, Cam den-town ; Rev. T. DALE , M.A., the vicar, in the ch air . Mr. STREEZEN presented a report of a committee OR the government of the poor and the state of the work house. The report states that the house is ill ventilated and overcrowded, and quite inadequate io many respects to meet the wants of the parish. That in the casual wards there is a want of decency, many of the males sleeping in a state of nudity , t wo in a bed ; an d that too fre quently the profligate and abandoned characters are indiscriminate rinaeith ad missionrespectabletramps mar intorie d the wards has been a prolific source of di sease an d mora l p w l o a m c e e d n in th t a h t e the Sa in m d e c ontamination, to remedy which the report recommends the introduction of a stone yard as a labour test. After pointing cut the crowded state of the children's infirmary the committee recommend that tirely removed from the workhouse, and points out the evil of employing aged and intemperate paupers as nurses. The insane ward was described as being under ground and much crowded, and that in one ward con taining only 2,800 cubic feet there were nine patients suffering from syphilis. The water supply had been somewhat defective, but the supply of beer was unneces sarily great. , The report recommends the establishment of a new laundry and various other remedies for the evils named. Mr. STREETER moved, and Major COME Wended, the motion that the report be received and e ntered on the minutes. Mr. SPOONER moved that the report be printed • The workhouse management was reallj in a lamentable s tate. Only the previous night a man was taken to the work house in an insensible state—that man was his servant. When called to him he found hint stripped of his gar. ments, lying in a fit of alcoholic apoplexy. The surgeon, Mr. Waldegrave, was called, and he ordered mustard to be applied to the extremities ; instead of which, the men who had charge of the unfortunate man in a foul ward had drenched him with cold water, and but for the se dulous attention of Mr. Waldegrave there could be no doubt that this treatment would have caused the poor man's death. When hot-water applicationit were or dered, it was found that there was not a drop of hot water in the house—(shame)—and he (Mr. Speoner) and the doctor were only enabled to restore anything like ani mation by continued friction. The man was still insen sible, and in a very dangerous state. It was to be hoped that now, at least, some step would be takes to remedy such a disgraceful state of things. Mr. MANNOCK seconded the motion, which was 0 sup ported by Mr. W. D. .. ,0 0PER, who pointed out many of the evils which had been looked into by the board of directors, who had recommended the late yes try to take steps for remedying the same, but they declii sed to do so on the score of expense. The resolution was carried, and the re port will be again brought up for consideration, Feb. 11 'eb. 15 far. 4 eb. 16 I pal' total,
