ALARMING FEi;ER.---WR are sorry to hear that
a dangerous fever is prevalent in Seven Dials and
its vicinity. It was discovered early in the last
week, and although every possible attention has
been used to prevent its further extension, it bad
become more alarming 'on Saturday. On Wed-
nesday a man and woman, who had resided in the
same house, died after a short illness ; and, in the
course of a few days, Mr. Charles, of Little St.
Andrew=s-street, had five children, under eight
years of age, all of whom fell victims to the dread-
ful contagion ; three of them were buried in one
coffin on Saturday ; and we regret 'to state that
the mother of these unfortunate infants is se-
rionslOndiposed, having within a f(ertnight been
brought to bed of her sixth child, which, with the
father and mother, are the only survivors-. We
hope the necessary precautions will immediately
be taken to guard against the further extension of
this malady.
