LATER.

The deaths at the County Insane Asylum last
night, have been the subject Of much comment
to-day, and many opinions have been passed upon
Dr. Howard, the resident physician. The soda
tive administered was composed of fluid extract
OF conum 10 ounces sulphate molphia, "a grains !;
atrophia bella DONNA Is of grain; brounde po-
tassium, 4 ounces; boiling water, ounces. This
was given in teaspoonful doses to the patients.
when noisy or very restless, and repeated in one
or two hours when the first dose did not produce
quietude or slsep. This dose was given to eleven
patients between 10 p. m. and a.. M, with appar-
entity no bad results to any of them, except those
mentioned in the previous despatch.
1t appears, however, that the conium used in
this mixture was article, much stronger
than that used on previous occasions, and was not
tried before being administered. Physicians who
testified at the coroner's inquest, yesterday, yari-
ously estimated the amount Of conium to a tea
spoonful OF the mixture at from 30 to 40 drops,
which was considered large dose, and only to
be given under peculiar circumstances, and not to
be repeated oftener than from = to hours.
