their first presiiknt wore the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland;
and now for a hundred years that office had been filled
successively by the long hoe of his Excellenq's prede-
cessors. Lmg might it continue to be so filled. Might
they all live to meet on many such annual re -unioas as the
present, and to have the satisfaction of seine the chair
of their society filled on each occasion with dignity and
gracs, as it was now, by the noble representative of
royalty, the Lord-Lieuteuaut General and General Governor
of Ireland.
To say that this reference to the subject was re-
ceived with very great applause would Wilsey but an
imperfect idea of the scene. It is thus described in
the Freeman: " For at least a minute breathless
silence pervaded the entire assembly. The lull
was, however, soon broken by the most enthusiastic
cheers we have heard given utterance to in a meet-
ing so constituted. Every gentleman present joined
in it. Lord Clarendon himself can scarcely be said
Ito have been an exception : as if carried away by the
current of public opinion, he was observed to clap his
hands twice or thrice ; but of cow ic the habitual
caution of the diplomatist soon mastered the feelings
of the num."
Lord Clarendon then rose and said—
He begged to retuni his very sincere thanks, in the fired
places to l'rofessor Harrison for the very eloquent manner
in which he proposed and supported the resolution, and for
the kindness with which the audience had received it. For
the reasons, the true homely reason', adduced by Pmfessur
Harrison himself, there wean one topic to which he would not
advert ; hut whatever might be the event, whatever ale,
legislature in their wisdom might determine, Be y might
red assured that his individual connexion with the satiety
could no more cease than the recollection of all the kindness
lee hail received at the hands of the society could la, effaced
from his mind. (Applause.) lie should also beg leave to
return thanks to Mr. Foote and Major Fairfield for the-
kindness with which they had alluded to the occasions upon
which he formerly presided in that room at the public dis-
tribution of prism
His Excellency proceeded at some length to refer
to the progress ma& by the Public School et lksign,
and to other matters connected with the industrial
interests of this country.
Archbishop *Hale has addressed an epistle to
Lord John Russell, through the columns of the Free-
man, denouncing in strong language the ministerial

—Vests-May. at a full meeting of the directors of the poor

per children to Bermuda was read. The most et...atrial
paragraph is thou worded :--,' The Poor-law Bond, after a
deliberate smsoleration of the evidence, are satisfied that
the direr-tort of the poor of St. PILOCIIIS were intluenced by
humane and beitesolent motives in the comae which they
adopted with recant to thew thildren, and that they be-
stowed every ease and cousideration in their power in order
to promote the welfare of the emigrants and to insure the
swam of the experiment. The board cannot, however,
view with inditkrenee the fact, whichs so candidly acknow-
ledged by the chainuan of the directors of the parish of St.
Pawns., that ' no It gal formalities were gone this:punk,' and
that the prvisiono thus, acts of parliament which relate

package from which It had fallen. If we cannot do so, then,
and then only, we put it into the sweepings,. I have never
heard of any package being abstracted before it came to
the landing scale. It sometimes happens that a bag has
lost sonic part of he contents. Each bug is weighed
for our own satisfaction. The weight of the bag is sent to
the purchaser. so as to enable him to insist on the con-
tents from the Dock Company. It occasionally hap-
pens that one or more whole packages are found absent
from the pile. If we cannot find the package, of course
the goods are delivered without it. It is starched for
ant morning, and as it generally is forthcoming, we
send an account of it to the owner. If they do not
recover the package, it is paid for. Deficiencies were
supplied, but not a whole package certainly. There is no
authority to obliterate the mark, of hags, and n pl ice them
by others. The same directions are given with regard to
cocoa. I have never heard of such a thing in my life es the
abstraction of cocoa. Bulking takes place in cocoa, and
having bulked it, you replace it in the original bags, It
very frequently happen' that you cannot place the cocoa
in the original bags. They are then taken to the mer-
chant's account. Upon the process of bulking the
whole quantity is carried to the merchant's account. Such
cocoa as comes from Brazil or l'eru comes in very slack
packages indeed. If escape takes place they are brought
to the merchant's account. The packages are all
weighed for our own satisfaction, and we make
i4the weighty from the quantity that had escaped,
We are sometimes in a great hurry in the delivery of pack-
ages. I never heard of good merchantable sugar being ear-
tied to Daris's Corner to be converted into wet drainings.
Certainly it could not be dune without my knowledge.
Sometimes it so happens that parcels arc mixed up toge-
ther. The result is a difference between the quantity of
goods brought to the scale and those which ought to be
brought there. The Custom-house officers do all they can
to Riedel alteration., in their books, and re-weigh par-
cels to enable them to do so. Parcels are some times found
in the pile without any mark or weight upon them. That
occurs as to sugar and cocoa. I never knew of any listen-
tioual obliteration of marks. It is not usual to obliterate
marks for any purpose that lam aware of. The goods are
exported by the company about once a year or once every
fifteen months. First we receive directions from the super-
intend, nt for a return of all the sweepings to be exported.
Cocoa is one of the articles, though I never had any under
my care. Sugar has, not in very considerable quantities. We
give the account to the superintend, nt. The Customs come
and inspect and weigh it, and then they are cleared.
Before the casks are weighed by the Cw.tonesthey are tared.
Cross-examined by the Solicitor-General—l am superin-
tendent of No. 1, at the other end of the place where these
transaction. occurred. I have had nothing whatever to do
with any of the transactions now inquired into. It OCCIL6iOII-
- happens that there is an execs' of cargo. We do all
that is possible to find out the person for whom it is ad-
dressed. I remember the ship called the Mary Smith in
11316. Wo found two boxes about a rear ago. (A paper is
handed by witness; to counsel.) I believe that is the tally-
sheet. I believe where there is a difference between the
tide-waiter and tally-man they falsify their accounts to
make them correspond. 1 don't know of its having been
done. I have since ascertained that the two boxes of sugar
by the Mary Smith had neither mark', nor numbers on them.'
The sweepings of wool amount to 120 bales. That was for
two years or a year and a half. I have seen it knee deep ;
es far a; practicable we replace it, short 2lbs. The weighing
and sampling always take place on the same flour in my de-
partment. About 1,000 or 1,200 a day may be weighed.
The two operations are carried on on different gangways.
I have not had a great deal of cocoa in my warehouse. I
could nut say, but I should say- about 2,000 bags of
cocoa have been bagged in my warehouse for five
years. There were ouly 16110. of cocoa as sweep-
ings for the last six mouths. 'there were about
800 bags of cocoa, I think, speaking very roughly.,
There were 24,000 or 25,000 bags of sugar for 12 months
before March 18.50. We have had about two tons of sweep-
ings, including the overdrawinge. Each warehouse is swept
once a day. I most decidedly never substituted one pan el
fur another. Scutt has never obliterated marks, and I have
never give n him order, to do so. We cline our warehouse
at 4 o'clock. The packages are marked before they come
to the scale. It occurs, but not often, that there are parcel*
about which we can give no information. It is very unusual
that a parcel should turn up about which we could give no
information. However, it does sometimes happen.
Mr. John Williams examined by Mr. Macauley-1 am
deputy warehouse-keeper of No. 9. I have been 23 years
in the service. I have been appointed warehouse-keeper
only three months,. I hail been sampler previously.
The duty of the sampler at the other warehouses is the time
Ito those which I had to perform. The housing note is sent
to me from the quay foreman. It represent* not only the
quantity, but the marks and weights and numbers. rho
howling note is taken from the Custom-house. My first
duty. seas to sort and mark the goods before weighing. '1 he
bag is drawn up on a truck to the table. It is stabbed by a
man. The first is called No. I, aril the next No. 2it it
differs from the first. About Blbs. of sugar would represent
about 120 Imp. We then take the name of the vessel,
from whence she came, the master's and owner's name. The
epillings front the sugar in the. operation of drawing it from
the parcel go to the company. I don't believe the quantity
exceeds half an ounce per ling. During my experience no
one has ever abstracted a surplus or excess package for the
benefit of the clock company. The 'lnlet sweepings are mew:-
time. scat up from the quays, and if there is a cwt. it is
weighed as part of the cargo. I had, as sampler, to du with
I the eompany's exportation of sugar, merely to WC that the
lqualities do not differ very much. A coneolidated account
is made before exportation, and sent to the Customs, who
then inspect them. 1 made a consolidated account myself
in 1819, and handed it over to Mr. Randull—(this is the
consolidated account, it is dated December, 1849)—and this
is the book from which I copied it. I knew a cask of cocoa
containing 9 cwt. 1 qr. 72 lb., seized on the 13th of March; I
a portion of it, about 21 cwt., was brought from No. 1
St embalm. I think early in December, 1849. It was
clean picked when brought. There was then not enough
cocoa eweepieces, to fill a cask. There were three or four
bags at No. 4 Warehouse. This was brought to make up a
cask. It had been sifted and cleaned. The foreign cocoa
snakes more sweepings than the other. The reason is the
deficiency in the packages. Cocoa has never been abeteticted
from cargoes.
By the Judge—Before Mr. Randall's account there NM
no Recount of the company's books.
Sir F. Pollock—Well, there ought to have been.
Cross-examined by the Solicitor-General--I did not MM.
pie bags and casks with the same sized instruments. They
nee a larger instrument fur sampling cask., than is used for
bags. You might draw four or five ounces; with an
instrument like that (moderate.) It frequently happens
we sample twice, Eight pounds for every 120 bags is
taken out. That is little more than an ounce. We send
the merchant so little as an ounce for sample. There ie one
ounce sent to the merchants and another ounce for spillings.
We don't always get sufficient sugar from the first stabbing.
Those are Bengal and Madras sugars. I make the ton-
Isoliclated accounts fur all the docks. I make them once
a year.

FATAL NEGLECT OF TUE POLICE.—Last night an
inquest was taken by Mr. Hayford, at St. James'sWork-
house, on the body' of Thomas Stevens, who died under the
following circumstances, in a cell at the police station in
Vine-street, ric,adilly. It appeared that on Sunday night
the deceased, who is supposed
.to have resided at Holton,
WY 99WD in the Quadrant, and it was supposed he had been
drinking, as, alter inquiring for an Hoston omnibus, he
fell down in an insensible state, and war carried by the
police on a stretcher to the station, where he was laid on
his side on the floor of the cell. About ono o'clock in the
morniiw, he, having been entirely insensible, got worse, and
Mr.Tothill, the surgeon, was sent for, but before he arrived
he was dead, and apparently from apoplexy.—The Co-
roner asked the inspector who took the charge whether he
was not aware that there was a positive order of the com-
missioners, that 'Jersons taken to the station-house in a
state of insensibility should immediately have the attend-
ance of a medical man ?—The inspector replied he knew of
none such.—Mr. Tothill, who is surgeon to this division of
police, on being appealed to, said there was such an order.
—The coroner: Then b,.!re is an inspector of police who
does not know what his orders are.—A juror: Was it not
yen improper to lay him on the Boor with nothing under
his head.—Mr. Tothill Certainly it was.—The Jury re-
turned a verdict that " The deceased died of apoplexy, but
;de knew not wrist caused it ; and that the police had been
• ty of great neglect in not getting medical assistance."
DEATH or At'DLION, Tire ORMTifoLoctoT.--John
James Audubon, the deservedly renowned naturalist, died
in New York on the 27th of January, at his residence on
the banks of the Hudson River, in 166th-etrest. He had
arrived at the age of 76.—Noss York Herold.

11F.ALTil OF LONDON DURING TUE WEEK.—The
official report says—" A gradual increase in the mortality is
represented by the following numbers of deaths returned in
the last three weeks: 956, 1,011, and 1,109. In the ten
weeks of 1841-60, corresponding to that which ended last
Saturday, the average number was 1,063, which, if cor-
rected fur comparison with the mortality of the present
time, by assuming the annual increase of population at 1.56
per cent., becomes 1,160. This estimated amount differs in
no very considerable degree from the 1,109 deaths registered
last week. The increase, equal to 68, in the present return
over the preceding week (ending February 1) arose almost
entirely amongst the young, the number of persons who
died above 15 years having been about 690, and remaining
in both weeks nearly the same. It is further to be observed,
however, that notwithstanding an excess in the general result,
the mortality from epidemics is perceptibly diminished
amongst the middle-aged and the old,whilst complaints of that
class,to which the young are subject, if not &elk:wig, do not ap-
pear to be gaining ground. The excess of last week over the
previous is due, in great part, to the aggravated fatality of
pneumonia, and likewise bronchitis, amongst young
persons. The aggregate of deaths caused by diseases of the
respiratory organs, comprising all ages, was last week 253,
which exhibits an increase on the average. The tuber-
cular class, including consumption, numbered 172, which is
less than the average, the destructive malady now men-
tioned claiming 113 out of these, being less than its usual
contingent at this time. In the epidemic class small-pox
destroyed 20 children, and five persons above 15 years; and
in only 3 of the 26 cases there is probable ground for in-
ferring that vaccination had been performed with effect and
in sufficient time previous to the eruption of the disease.
The births of 848 boys and 756 girls, in all 1,604 children,
were registered in the week. The average of six corres-
ponding weeks in 1845-60, was 1,464. At the Royal Ob-
servatory, Greenwich, the mean reading of the barometer in
the week was 29.700 in. The mean daily temperature was
lowest on the first three days of the week ; on the remainder
it was above the average of the several days in 10 years,
especially on Wednesday and Saturday, when it was about
6 deg. above the average. The mean of the week was 40.5
deg., exceeding the average by 2 deg. The wind, which
blew from the north on Sunday, was mostly in the south
and south-west on the last four days.
TRADE OF THE UNITED KlNGDOM.—Yesterday, a
return to parliament, obtained by Mr. Cayley, was printed,
showing the import and export trade of the United King-
dom in the course of the year 1849. The official value of
imports into the United Kingdom from countries and
colonies, exclusive of grain, meal, flour, and live stock, was
84,832,52E1. ; whilst the exports of British produce and
manufactures to the same places were 60,152,6071. in the de-
clared valets. Of grain, meal, and flour imported last year
there were 10,669,661 quarters and the live stock imported
numbered 181,368, showing that the aggregate value of the
imports was 99,170,6031., against the Bridals exports
amounting to 60,152,6071.
WEAR VALLEY RAlLWAY.—Yesterday the ad-
journed meeting if this company took place at the Louisa
Coffee-house. The report was adopted, and it was
to withdraw the bill for amalgamation, with the 3.alg
and Darlington Company, and I thrqe Months' divideatnr
5 per cent. was declared.
CORK AND WATERFORD RAILWAT.—The half-
yearly meeting of this company was to have taken place
yesterday, but in consequence of the non-attendance of a
sufficient number of proprietor to form a quorum no regular
business could)), transacted.
