MEETING OF THE GROWERS of FRUIT

AND VEGETABLES.

In consequence of a notion prevailing very extensively
that the consumption of fruit and vegetables was condu-
cive to the cholera mortrus, the trade of the growers of
those (hitherto considered) prime necessaries of life had
allen off to such a degree that many even of the most opu-
lent of that class lost such an enormous sum weekly that
they found it necessary to attempt the adoption of some
means to remove the delusion that existed upon the subject,
A meeting was accordingly convened at the Rainbow
tavern, King-street, Covent garden, on Tuesday, and C.
Calvert, E.q. M.P. for the borough of Southwark, was
in the Chair. The meeting was attended by a very
crowded assemblage of the principal fruit and vegetable
growers around London.
T
-•011. CHAIRMAN stated the object of the meeting,
whichhe
th ve Trla to present a memorial to the Central Board of
Heal, praying a contradiction officially (if istent
with the opinions entertained by the memberscons of the
Board) of the notion so widely spread to the effect above
mentioned. The Chairman in a good-humoured strain,
descanted upon the absurdity of abstaining from using
"me of the most beneficial gifts of the Almighty, and
strongly recommended an immediate application to the
Board of Health upon the subject, requesting them to con-
sider seriously of the matter, and give an opinion. He
(Mr. Calvert) for one had not altered his diet. He took
vegetables and fruit as'freely as ever, but he took care to
have them good. ‘• And Gentlemen," said he, " I think
you may perceive I don't appear much the worse for it."
A. laugh.)
Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and it
was agreed upon to present a memorial to the Central
Board of Health, which was immediately drawn up ; and
it was stated in this document, that upwards of one thou-
sand persons (labourers of both sexes) were employed by
about twenty individuals, growers near the metropolis, that
number forming but a small proportion of those actually
engaged in the same pursuits, who had principally subsis.
ted upon fruit and vegetable diet, and who were, neverthe-
less, free from the prevalent disease.
Subsequently (yesterday morning) the Gentlemen com-
posing the deputation received a written communication
from Dr. William Maclean, the Secretary to the Central
Board of Health, stating that the moderate use of fruit
and vegetables was not at all to be considered as likely to
be injurious to health, nor tending to produce cholera.
Yesterday evening another meeting took place at the
Rainbow, to receive the report of the deputation, Mr.
WtLMov in the chair, when thanks were voted to the
parties who had taken an active share in the proceedings,
and the meeting broke up.
Mr, WILMOT, the chairman, stated, in the course of
at evening's proceedings, that he and others had suf.
fierd
gone abed recently a loss of 1001. a week by the rumours which
naroad.

The fruit-sellers and fishrpongers have already
experienced the effects of the medical advice to abstain
fr`nn the articles which they vend. Fruit, particularly, is
'try
unsaleable. There are many gardens in the adjacent
,P'rishes where gooseberries may be seen in abundance
