CHOLERA

AMONG THE PAUPER

CHILDREN AT TOOTING.

The following is the official return of fresh cases

from 2 P.M. on Tuesday to 2 P.M. yesterday:—Number
of deaths, 18; cases of .diarrhcea, s;.,cholera, 10; num-
ber under treatment, 119. Total numher of cases since
commencement, 294.; convalescent, 34; goss number of
deaths, 112. Mr. Kite, the surgeun, adds, that one adult
young woman died yesterday, after sixteen hours' suf-
fering from tho epidemic. In answer to inquiries as to
whether carbonic acid had been used as a remedy in the
cholera cases here, "I beg to reply, that in many cases
it hes been employed, combined with opium, very bene-
ficially in alleviating distressing vomiting; it has a ten-
dency to relieve both that and the diarrnosa, and acts
also as a stimulant."

Mr. Greit:ger, of the Board of Health, has also issued
the following order with reference to the interment of the
dead:—

" Jan, 10th, 1849, 4 P.m.—Mr. Chapman, surgeon of
Tooting, having_stated to me that he sent a written no-
tice to Mr. Drouet that no additional bodies from the
Infant Pauper Establishment can be interred in Tooting
Churchyard, I recommend that immediate steps be taken
to ensure the interment of the bodies of all who are now
dead or who may die .of this epidemic without delay; and
I further recomnapnd that their interment shall take
place under the direction of a medical 'practitioner, and
that the bodies be not taken through the metropolis, as
such a procedure if known might excite altiEm in the
public mind.

(Signed) " R. D. Glitairroun.''

one of the surgeons, as to the disease amongst the chil-
dren in St. Pancras workhouse, states that "the number
of cases which occurred on Tuesday night and yesterday
morning, compared with Tuesday's report, shows a dimi-
nution of one-third; also that the character of the com-
plaint is much less Severe."

ing, is as follows :—'• Boys attacked with the' Tooting

THEATRE. ROYAL, HULL.—Attracted by the, an-,
nouncement of Mr. G. V. Brooke's appearance at this
theatre, in connexion with a Miss Goddard, we loped to
wile
,away the tedious hours of evening by attending
the promised performance of Sir Giles Overreach, but
were disappointed, Mr. Brooke not being able to per-
form owing to severe hoarseness. The consequence was
that the Merchant of Venice was substituted, Miss God-
dard appearing as Portia, and Mr. Pritchard as the Jew;
but such a Portia and ,such a Jew it has seldom been
our misfortune to gaze upon, or to weary our ears with
hearing. The stock company and supernumeraries of the
theatre must be very limited, as we observed the Duke

Shade of Tate Wilkinson, is thy pet theatre sunk so low
that for the sake of saving a few shillings the softer sex
must throw ridicule on a scene other 'vise imposing? The
farce was No Song no Supper, the part of Robin by H.
