CHOLERA AMONG THE PAUPER

CHILDREN AT TOOTING.

The following are the official reports of the number
of new cases which have occurred at the establishmen
of Mr. Drouet, at Tooting, during tho day (}'ester
day):—

" Surrey Hall, Tooting, Jan. 11, 1849.

" Number of fresh Cases presenting choleretic symp-
toms, 7; fresh cases of diarrhoea, 4; deaths, 7; under
treatment, 103. 44 have been removed to eunTaletceut
wards.

" The greater number of cases under treatment are
proceeding rapidly towards convalescence. In a. few
cases symptoms of fever of a typhoid character have
presented themselves.
" No sanitary measures have been adopted to-day re-
specting the ditches or drains. Many think that by
stirring up the mud from the bottom of them, would be
the means of producing a great amount of stench, and
of stirring up an amount of noxious material that would
be very injurious, and likely to give rise to further in-
crease of disease.

CREASE OF CASES.—Tho following is the official report
of Mr. Bird and Mr. Wilkinson, the surgeons appointed
by the board of directors to attend the pauper children
removed from Tooting to St. Pancras Workhouse, which
shows an alarming increase, no less than 127 children
out of the 200 removed having been attacked:—

Thursday, Jan. 11, 1849.
" It is with regret that we have to report an increase,
both in the number of cases of cholera and its severity,
during last night, which we are inclined to attribute to
the very great decrease of temperature, owing to the
new plan of ventilation.
" We have, therefore, felt it necessary to restore the
wards to their original temperature, by stopping up the
zinc perforations.
"In closing this report we are sorry to add, that
many of the cases are of a severe character, and promise
speedily to go icto a state of collapse.

OUR GREAT FINANCIAL it]
FORMERS.
(From the Weekly Dispatch.)
Mr. Editor,—lt is with the greatest pleasure that
have seen Mr. Macgregor, the Member for Glasgow,
tering upon the task of financial reform. It is true tl
his budget differs from Mr. Cobden's, and I am
anxious as any one can be that the public attenti
shall be fixed upon one plan, and that all the energ
of the people shall be bent to carry it. Our enemi
motto will be " Divide and conquer." But Ido
i
fear but that upon a clear consideration of the t•
perfectly to harmoni;
aldeteter to the task of silo
sparodpolsi
ing where they absolutely agree, and how, with a vc
tthiotbresfotrheeydemvaoyte btehims
little conciliation, the agreement may be made pc
feet. One thing is quite clear from the careful perusal
both, that each of our most able friends would do all t:
other suggests, if it were, in his own opinion, feasibl,
that there would, therefore, be no compromise of pri
ciple whatever in either, should he contend for all th
his coadjutor proposes, that each sees the same goc
and finally the same amount of good, is prospect, a
that the eliflereuce is simply in the means to attain it•
in the amount which can be attained now, and in the pc
tion that is to be worked for first. Every earnest effc
ought to be made to ensure the full benefit of Mr. Ma
gregor's services to the public cause. Let it be remei
bored that he has been a Radical free-trade suggest
to the Conservative Peel Government, that every at
which Sir Robert has taken in the right road has bel
prepared by the labour of love expended upon it 1
our faithful, old, bnt almost unrecognized ally, that /
convincing digest, intended only for perusal by a fi
officials, which found its way into the public pre.
heralded, as I predicted it would before the reform to
place, the greatest changes which Sir Robert P.
made in the tariff, with the one exception of the COI
law repeal. That paper contained the soundest al
most uncompromising doctrines, the ablest and bold.
propositions, such as have not yet been fully carried 01
Let us congratulate ourselves that, having done so mu(
to convert our then opponents, and to make them our fe
and useful friends, Mr. Macgregor has now, at the ve.
effectual period, thrown off all trammels of office,
.p
himself into the ranks of the popular party, and foe,
the vast benefit of his official experience, trained jud,
ment, clear observation, and unequalled classification
statistics to the avowed service of the people.
Mr. Cobden proposes to go back to the expenditure
1835. I think he does so wisely. But the very wise
scheme must be founded on the supposition that it w
be wisely carried out. Mr. Cobden's proposal SU
poses peace, non-interference, real honest economy, ti
conscientious saving a prudent man would make in h
own concerns. I am not at all disposed to trust t]
Whigs with the working of this budget. Aristocn
of any party cannot work economical reform; th.
divide mankind into two classes—gentry who cane
exist upon less than genteel stipends, and works
who ought to be happy on 9s. a week. The id,
runs throughout their system —Bishops with the
thousands, Curates with their tens Colonels wi
their pay and tailors' cabbage, privates wit]
out the decencies of life. Ono of each of tl
inferior classes is, now and then, moved into the super'
one, for the name of the thing; but there are essential
two peoples, nobles and serfs, and the savings whit
might be made from the superfluously paid will be ke
up to keep them abreast of their class. The poverty
Great Britain is ceased by having to maintain the fines
of gentility in its servants. The Dorsetshire peasant at
the Spitalfields weaver must pay for their protectio
justice, and police, on the scale of lords, because the pr.
lessors of these Government trades are of the lord
class themselves. Therefore, Sir, cut the Whigs down L
ten millions, and if they see that they can get no bett.
bargain, they will take it, because above all they will kec
office: they would do that if their own salaries were, tl
only things voted; but they will take care that the econ.
my shall fail. They will strip dockyards, sell stores, redut
necessary force, run up debt and increased expense f
the future, but not take a bit of gold lace from a tawcb
uniform, or subtract a supernumerary Lord-in-Waitin
from a !court pageant. They will not go to their Wen
with a will. Like the Prince President of the Frenc
Republic, who holds his levees in the gardens of the Pi
leis Bourbon, to show how much he requires the use 1
the Tuileries, and chooses to forget that a Republica
President needs no such farces at all, they will make
parade of insufficiency, instead of an effort at good pr(
riding. Democratic economy will be found to requir
a democratic Ministry. Else our plan will be disgrace
and betrayed, by being confided to those who hate i
and who aro only anxious to supersede it, and get
to the plunder of the old extravagance.
Else, if we can depose the many-headed dynasty
the Whigs—that self-marrying family which rules a
with the curses of many hungry monarchs—l do nc
see that Mr. Macgregor might not easily approach M
Cobden's measure of expenditure. Mr. Cobden's nay:
estimate exceeds Mr. Macgregor's by 200,0001; the mai
diff'erence is in the army and the ordnance. Mr. Cot.
den, on the estimate of 1835, gives us 4,039,429/. for a
army, 1,151,914/. for the ordnance. Mr. Macgregor talc.
6,000,0001. for the army, 1,750,0004 for the ordnana
Here, indeed, is a difference of two and a-ha]
millions. But, besides the question how far th
colonies may be made to pay for their own defence, on,
great point in politica is perfectly clear, which fac
ought to set the matter at rest. France is disarming. 1
any trickery or treachery of the Thiers and Mole schoo
should baffle the reductions in the army, which Cavaigna.
and Lamoriciere will frankly work for, it is beyond at
dispute that the French navy cannot be hostilely in
creased. The revenue will not do it. I put out of con
sideration the intelligence and friendship for England o
the right-minded French people, their perception of tht
necessity and humanity of peace. I will suppose th
intriguers to be able to overbear such sense with an)
insane war-cry which a mere mob could echo. Witl
our fleet reasonably, naturally superior, according to th(
extent of our colonies and seaboard, we have no need t.
fear war. What old woman dreads it from any other quar-
ter? What panic-monger manufactures the fear elsewhere:
Which of the Free States would not look to Englant
with love and hope, if our conduct permitted such asser-
tion? Which of the despots will dare to utter a breath
against us when we could reply with a blast that should
annihilate him? But to be thus strong we must be De-
mocratic. A Democracy is always powerful, and always
feared. We must have a Democratic Ministry to corn.
bine and wield this irresistible power. We should then
be as safe from any dream of aggression as the United
States of America. Even under a limb of our many-
jointed Oligarchy, a navy, honestly worth the 6,200,000 E
proposed, would keep us quite secure, though neither
perhaps feared nor respected,
Settle this question of expenditure as the nation has
right to expect it to be settled, in the most rigorous spirit
of saving, and Mr. Cobden and Mr. Macgregor's plans
may soon be made one. Both would reduce the duty
on tea to ls. per pound ; both would abolish the duty
on hops, paper, soap. Both would relieve us from the
tax on health and light—on our cheerfulness, on our ca-
pacity for work—from the accursed window duty. Both
would make the Crown lands available for something
better than dishonest jobbery. Both would adjust the
legacy and probate duties to real as well as personal pro-
perty. Both would repeal the timber duties altogether.
All duties on butter, cheese, and other provisions, and on
all raw material, are eschewed by both reformers. Mr.
Cobden would get rid of 100 articles subject to Customs;
Mr. Macgregor of all but eight—viz., tobacco, sugar,
spirits, wines, spices, fruits, tea at ls. per lb. (also Mr.
Cobden's plan), and manufactured silk. Mr. Macgregor
would, besides, repeal the taxes on bricks, hackney and
stage carriages, post-horses, post-horse licenses; he
would get rid of those hindrances to provident foresight,
the burthens on marine and fire insurances; he would
abolish the assessed taxes on dogs, servants, horses, car•
riages, horse-dealers, hair powder, armorial bearings,
and he would get rid of the famous Whig blunder, the
10 per cent. additional. Mr. Cobden, on the other
hand, would abolish the advertisement duty, and
(which is the main difference in this part of the
budget) the malt duty. Indeed iu this and one other
feature ate all the remaining essential differences. While
Mr. Cobden would hereafter justly apportion the scale of
income-tax to fixed and uncertain incomes, Mr. Mac:
gregor, aware of the difficulties of detail, but determined
to do something effectual and at once, would cuten2e.

two millions, besides such reductions as might have been
made in 1835, and were not made, for all that may be
really necessary iu expense, above the scale of 1635, and
with every amelioration of burthens suggested by our
two most eminent Reformers. Let my readers just turn
back to the list and see what they would gain.
The people of Eegland cannot afford that two such
men should differ even in appearance. We must not
give our enemies that comfort. The enthusiastic, single-
winded, eloquent, acute leader of corn-law repeal, and
the silent, learned, practical, experienced prompter of
many reforms, must present one plan to the House of
Commons, either as a complete whole, or in inexpedient
parts, with the implicit faith of the whole people to
back it. Two such champions need fear no opposition.

THE KING OF DENMARK AND

The following proclamation from the joint Govern,

December, 1848 :
" MEN OF ..Z.CIILESWIG-HOLSTEIN.
" When on the 22d of October, a. c., through the
Commissioners of the
German Central Power and his
Majesty the King of Denmark, we were solemnly in-
stalled in the joint government, we then hoped and be-
lieved that our endeavours to appease the excited passions
e created by the war would responded to by our
neighbours, the Danes, with the same disposition, and
thereby facilitate the conclusion of a peace answering
to the true welfare of both parties.
66 Alas, in this hope we have been disappoint

the
Danish Government from our administration. In
the orders of the ,joint Government Which
were issued for the preservation of tranquillity
and order in the country, a pretext was found,
not alone to accuse the joint Government of a hostile
intention towards Denmark, but by the recta of •the
Danish representative an amicable understanding vesei
interrupted ; therefore the interpretation of the several
points in the convention of the armistice, which are of
multifarious signification, was rendered impossible, or at
least aggravated.
" With the view to obviate the difficulties which must
then follow, the intervention of the German Central
Power was sought, when we discovered, with deep re-
gret, the steps taken by the Danes to avoid the sti-
pulatioss in the convention of the armistice; though
they were, nevertheless, desirous of all the advantages
of the suspension of arms. Manifold vexations and

THE MURDER AT TEDRUBN ST. MART, NEAR
EXETER.—The name of a man in custody on a charge
of having been concerned in she murder of Mrs. Grace
Holman, at the above village, is Henry Woods; be was
a labourer, and lately resided at Moreton, a hamlet about
twelve miles from Exeter, and six from the scene of the
murder. His apprehension was effected in consequence
of some mysterious expression, in reference to the
awful .tragedy, which fell from him a few days since:
His confession, as already stated, implicates two other
parties, the one a labourer, named James Landvick, ana
the other a man who has since enlisted into the 85th
regiment. Woods states that they all entered the
house by means of a fir pole, reared against the win-
dows of the deceased's bed-room, after having made
several ineffectual attempts to gain admission by other
means; that, as soon as they entered, the deceased
jumped up in bed and began to cry out, when the soldier
threw himself upon her, and throttled her. Woods says
he called out, "Don't murder her," on which the soldier
replied, "If you don't hold your tongue, I'll murder
you." Woods adds, that the old woman died very hard,
and struggled much, the horrid deed being at length ac-
complished by piling the bedding and a large box upon
her, and pressing them down until life was extinct.
Woods has conducted the officer to a spot where he says
the silver spoons were buried, but the mould had been
upturned, and the spoil had vanished, if it had ever been
there. The principal, who, at the time of the murder
was a shoemaker, living at Crediton, afterwards enlisted
in the 85th regiment, and was attested at the Exeter
Guildhall. He has since been apprehended, and arrived
in that city on Tuesday last.
PRICE OF WHISKY.—The Cork distillers reduced
the price of this article 3d. per gallon on Friday last.
The present price is 6s. per gallon, 25 over proof.—Cork

THE IRON TRADE, BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.—.
One of the most numerous and highly influential meet-
ings of the iron and coal masters of this district, which
has been held for a long time past, took place to-day at
the Town Ball, in this borough. The meeting was not
only numerous and respectable, but highly gratifying in,
its results. The utmost firmness prevailed, and the ac-
counts given by all parties of the improved condition of
the trade were exceedingly gratifying. It was reported
that many excellent orders had arrived by the last two
packets from America, and these, coupled with the fact,
that our home stocks have become nearly exhausted, led
to a determination not to seek orders at present prices.
The engagements entered into during the past quarter
will occupy the furnaces two months, and the masters
are not dispossd to accept of fresh orders unless at an
advance. It is now well known that the present rates,
61. 108. for bar, and 31. 19s. f,r pig iron, are not remu-
nerative, and nothing but necessity, caused by the recent
destructive competition of the Welch and Scotch markets,
could have led to such low prices. We have, however,
reached the lowest point, and the prospects for the new
year are cheering.

An elderly woman named Mary Roche was brought
before the magistrates yesterday, and charged by one
of the constables with exposing a dead child, for the
purpose of obtaining money. The child, which appeared
to have been dead fur some days, was sent to the brido-
well ; and the prisoner was sent to gaol, where she was
ordered to receive a month's imprisonment with hard
labour.—Corle Examiner.
