THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 23 1855,

many bedsteads lying unused in the barrack, and I was
told they could not be used, as the mattresses were too
large for them.
By Mr. Ellice—Undoubtedly Dr. Hall should have
made provision for the accommodation of the sick and
wounded ; and I believe that the stores which Mr.
Macdonald purchased could have been got by the pur-
veyor if he bad applied to Lord Redcliffe.
By Mr. Layard—The Russian prisoners I have spoken
of were in the barrack hospital. I can't say whether
they were our prisoners or those of the Turks ; they
were I think under the charge of a commission, of
whom Admiral Boxer was one. There were some Crim
Tartars among them, who are our friende. There was
an English sentry put over them inside, and Turkish sen-
tries outside ; the French put no sentries over their
prisoner?. It was Turkish soldiers who carried the
Russian pri.oners down to the ship. I can't say if they
were sufficiently supplied with food or not. I only
know that Dr. Smith told me he could not get prepared
chalk for them. There were only two interpreters for
the whole hospital establishment at Scutari. I snpplied
them with medical comforts out of a private fund of
my own. Lord Stratford never refused any applica-
tion made to him that I know of ; Lady Redcliffe
teld me she had several times asked Dr. Menzies if
anything was required for the hospital, and he said
there was not ; except at last, be said, there were
some bedsteads require 1. I have no doubt there is
not a man in her Majesty's service works harder
than Le dcliffe ; I think clearly it was no
p trt of Lord Redcliffe's duty to act as commandant
or turveyor to the hosp.tals. I kno v only he told
me himself, aed Lord Clare n lon told me, that he
had the power to get anything that was required
for the hospitals. I have no doubt if a fit person
hid been sent out from England to superintend the
hospitals at Scutari, they might have been made
what they ou,;ht to be. I think but for the Times'
fund, Miss Nightinga'e, and myself, the condition cf
the hospitals would have teen most ellsastrou.. Un-
doubtedly the farce of public opinion did lead to im-
provements at those Lo pita's. He had never been
able to account for the scarcity of stores. In fact, he
entertained doubts if all of them had been sent out
from England. The matter, however, would not b 3
satisfactorily cleared until it was put in the hands of
a very different inquiry than any of which he bad beard.
The Chairman—You mean the hands of the police 1
(Laughter.)-e-Yes.
The Committee then adjourned until Monday.
