THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1849.

ships of the SOVEREIGN of Great Britain treating the
men subjected to his authority with such systematic
and almost inconceivable cruelty, that two of them
commit suicide—two others are driven mad—two others
(officers !) are goaded to the commission of the high
offence of desertion—the ship boys are scrubbed into a
state of insensibility with scrubbing
brushes—and the
crew, generally speaking, become in heart, if not in act,
mutinous 1 Those who have not perused the painful
particulars conveyed in the trial of Commander
PITMAN, of her MAJESTY'S ship Childers, will pos-
sibly imagine that there must either be some
monstrous exaggeration or some eccentric typo-
graphical mistake in the foregoing para-
graph. Such unhappily is not the case : the details
are only too accurate, as may be discerned in a very
brief period by an examination of the reports of the
inquiry before the court-martial held at Plymouth.
There it will be seen that a seaman named HAIG, for
stealing a few candles to burn when the nights were
dark, was subjected to such extreme punishment,
being confined for several days in the stern gratings,
during very cold and boisterous weather, that he
became insane before he was released from confine•
ment. Another unfortunate wretch was deprived of
\
his senses through similar treatment. A marine
named WHITE, being threatened by the Captain with
four dozen lashes, sprang in terror and shame from
the bow of the Childers and was drowned. An officer
is presumed to have been driven in like manner
to the commission of suicide. The ship boys are
ordered to have their heads scoured with the scrub-
bing brush at a time when the thermometer is at 50,
one of them being only restored to sensibility
after the -operation by having his head held
before the galley fire by the assistant-
surgeon. At length the infamous ill-treatment of the
crew and officers of her MAJESTY'S ship Childers
appears to have become so unendurable, that Mr.
GRAHAM and Mr. ELLIOTT, the one lieutenant and
the other master, are driven to a state of desperation,
and desert. This is, indeed, the immediate cause of
the disclosure of these atrocities. After the unfor-
tunate officers last mentioned have been condemned
to suffer the extreme sentence inflicted upon deserters
—a sentence generally most just in itself, vindicating
as it does the outraged principles of submission to au-
thority, but in this case a sentence of the most gross
and intolerable injustice, seeing the merits of the
able 'and excellent young officer, Mr. GRAHAM, and
bearing in mind the extraordinary provocation to
which he and his companion in misfortune had been
subjected—every consideration, in short every detail,
every instance bearing upon the subject of courts-
martial, assures us that their period of continuance,
both in reference to the army and the navy, is
rapidly drawing to a conclusion. For this end we
shall pray, for this end we shall act, for this end we
shall argue incessantly, until a sweeping and com-
prehensive re-organization has been effected ; and we
shall do so simply out of our profound reverence for
the cause of justice, of truth, and of common
humanity. _ ___

We are given to understand that the memorial for-
warded by Captain DOUGLAS to the authorities at
the Horse Guards has been replied to in the most un-
gracious and unsatisfactory language. This circum-
stance only affords a strong corroborative argument
in favour of the ideas expressed by ourselves in the
foregoing article. We are gratified, however, to learn
that the cruel injustice with which Captain DOUGLAS
has been treated throughout these shameful proceed-
ings has so far excited the indignation of one of the
most distinguished men in the United Kingdom, that
on the opening of the next session the matter will be
formally brought under the consideration of Par-
liament.

As some powerful enemy might fall upon an un-
defended city when its gates stood open, its soldiers
were absent from their post, and its unsuspecting in-
habitants wrapt in slumber, so the cholera has fallen
upon this country. Never did the bills of mortality
present such appalling figures for a sum total. Every
day from two to three hundred are added to the ter-
rible list in London alone. Almost like the Egyp-
tian plague, when " there was not a house in which

there was not one dead," every locality, every street
furnishes victims to the pestilence, every , family
mourns some friend or relative cut off, while in some
instances whole families are at once swept into the
same grave. If, however, this terrible scourge has
progressed through the length and breadth of the
land, and more especially through the metropolis like
a victorious foe, whose strength is irresistible, it must
be admitted that never was garrison less protected
than the health of the inhabitants of London—the
enemy had only to appear and his conquest was assured.
If, instead of a destructive disease, the cholera were a
healthful and beneficial boon to the community, it is
hardly possible to imagine a single means whereby its
presence might be attracted and its progress accele-
rated more. han it is at present. The sanitary con-
dition of the metropolis has long been the subject of
our reiterated complaints. Now the subject can no
longer be tampered with. The long-required
remedies can no longer be deferred. It seems to be
an established principle with all in power, whether
ministers, senators, or beards of commission, to avoid
as much as possible the preventive system. No
grievance is ever remedied until it is become intoler-
able. No attempt is ever made to prevent the exist-
ence or to check the growth of crime, disease, or any
other social calamity. The well-paid guardians of
public safety fold their arms and sleep idly at their
posts till the enemy has entered the citadel. Before
they are fully roused to a sense of the dangers—before
they have taken up their arms and decided upon their
course of action, the defenceless citizens have fallen
into the power of the destroyer—the ground is strewed
with the dying and the dead, and before that enemy
can be fairly driven from the city how many more
must be sacrificed ? We do not, of course, venture to
say that if every means necessary for the preservation
of the public health were habitually made use of that
the cholera had never entered the metropolis ; but we
do say that, in all human probability, if it had entered
at all, it would only have passed by as it has passed at

other places had it not found in the condition of the
metropolis a congenial element. Let us only look at
some of the records of the registrar. Appended to the
various deaths in the various districts, we find a brief
comment on the state of the house or neighbourhood
in which they occurred. We quote a few of these
comments, almost at random :—" The houses are
densely populated, and the drainage is bad." " This
street is open but not well drained." "A filthy, dirty
place. The whole of this densely-populated and most
wretched locality has suffered very severely from the
epidemic. The principal cause appears to be bad
drainage, over-populated and poor occupants, with
small houses let in tenements." " This house consists
of a small shop with a room behind, in which lived
five adult persons in a most filthy condition. There
is neither drainage nor proper ventilation." "A
close, confined court, with a drain omitting an offen-
sive smell." " A close, ill-cleansed, crowded, and
undrained street." " A very close, crowded, and
undrained street." The medical attendant adds on
the certificate, " the state of the drainage in this house
is pestilential, and the water is in the same state."
We might fill a column with similar repetitions.
"111-drained; undrained, partially drained, close,
crowded, ill-ventilated," occur in every other line of the
report, and after perusing it, after forming some idea
of the filthy streets and poisonous air of London, we
are surprised not so much that the cholera has swept
away the inhabitants of such localities as that so many
still remained there to be attacked. It is a wonder
not that people die, but that they live when the air
they breathe is poison, the water they drink little
better, and the house they inhabit thronged to re-
pletion, unventilated, and uncleansed. Such is the
metropolis of Great Britain in the nineteenth century.
We turn again for corroboration to the Registrar's
report :

de‘e'liTnehe; eapniddeitmiisc
qinuttCehnuerrcthainlantne,atStitGialersis'se,s
ifsr comn the
the
sanitary efforts which have been employed in cleansing
and whitewashing, and the feeding of the poor Irish
families who inhabit these miserable lodging-houses. In
Tower-street several fatal cases of cholera have occurred.
The houses are densely populated and badly ventilated,
and the inhabitants complain bitterly of a sewer which
receives the blood and offal from a butcher's shop in the
street, as also the refuse from a tripe shop at the corner
of Lumber-court. It is constantly emitting the most
poisonous exhalations to the whole neighbourhood." .
Step-alley, Gravel.lane, Aldgate. Close, ill cleansed,
and unfavourable to health; a locality in which there
have been so many deaths from cholera within the last
month, that nothing but a remodelling or re-building of
the houses on this spot can possibly remove the baneful
effects of disease to which the crowded and dirty habits

of its inhabitants renders them a prey,
Mr. Roy, the registrar, states that I was, conjointly
with another practitioner, in attendance upon all the
cases at Margaret's-row, and they were characterised by
their extreme severity, and from the very commence-
went of the attack not allowing of a ray of hope as to
their recovery, reminding me forcibly of the form of
cholera which I have formerly witnessed in India. This
Margaret's row consists of some ten or twelve cottages,
situated at the west end of Brook-green, open in front to
the common, and having neat gardens behind; they are
small and crowded, but the inhabitants are comfortable
for their position in life. The owner of them lived
amongst them in a large and commodious house; his
death from cholera was reported last week, after about
fifteen hours' illness; at that time no apparent cause
could be given. The first case occurred on Monday last,
at No. 7, a gardener, but he had been labouring previously
under diarrheas, but collapse had set in before he was
visited, although it was almost immediately. About three
P.M., a girl about twelve years; here collapse had like-
wise shown itself at the very commencement, and at about
eleven P.M. the mother, who had been in attendance
upon these two cases, was likewise attacked, and btcame
immediately collapsed. But perhaps the cases at No. 8,
which occurred next morning, were still more rapid,
father and child. The former worked at a bleaching
factory close by, left his house about six A.M., in good
health, had slept well, neither had been sick or purged,
nor any other premonitory symptoms, and in about an
hour is seized with all the most malignant symptoms, and
at once shows the case as hopeless. The child at home is
seized much about the same time, and dies almost as
rapidly. A minute investigation into the probable cause
of all this brings to light, that within eighty yards of
these cottages there is a most foul, filthy, and offensive
ditch, containing a large quantity of black putrid matter.
It is under the jurisdiction of the Commissioners of
Sewers, and they have recently attempted to clean it
out, but apparently without any good effect. It is
worthy of observation that the direction of the wind on
Sunday and Monday was directly over this ditch to-
wards these houses.
When, to the evils consequent on this lamentable
want of free ventilation and proper drainage, we add
the fatal effects of the pestilential vapours continually
streaming from the churchyards, can we wonder if
half London is in mourning and funeral knells suc-
ceed each other with appalling celerity ? As some
mitigation to the horrors of the cholera, let us trust it
will prevent the recurrence of similar calamities. In
like manner as the famine and potato blight were the
precursors of free-trade, so perhaps the health of
London will arise from the graves of the cholera.
How many lives had been spared, and bow much of
sorrow and suffering unoccasioned, had the remedies
been applied by way of prevention

rim FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
Among the intelligence contained in those journals
there is a piece of information regarding Roman
affairs of the very highest importance. From the
letter addressed by the PRESIDENT to his aide-de-
camp, N. EDGAR NET, now with -the expeditionary
army in the Eternal City, it is evident that the Prince
is not altogether a tool in the hands of the reaction-
naires. This remarkable document (printed in the
Moniteur of yesterday) is as follows :
" Elytie National, August 18th, 1849.
" My dear Ney,—The French Republic has not sent
an army to Rome to strangle Italian liberty, but, on the
contrary, to regulate it, and preserve it from excesses,
and on a solid basis to restore to the Pontifical throne
the Prince who at the first placed himself boldly at the
head of all useful reforms.
" I learn with pain that the benevolent intentions of
the Holy Father, and our own deeds, remain unfruitful
in consequence of the influence of passion and hostile
feelings. It is wished to have as the basis of the Pope's
return proscripticn and tyranny. Say, on my part, to
General Rostolan, that it cannot be permitted, under the
shadow of the tricolour flag, to commit an act deroga-
tory to the character of our intervention.
" I sum up thus the re-establishment of the temporal
power of the Pope—a general amnesty, the seculariza-
tion of the Administration, the Code Napoleon, and a
liberal Government.
" I have been personally hurt, on reading the procla-
mation of the three Cardinals, to see that it has not even
made mention of the name of France, or of the sufferings
of our brave soldiers. Every insult offered to our flag
or to our uniform goes right to my heart; and I
beg you to make known to them that if France does
not sell her services, she requires at least that she
may have gratitude for her sacrifices and self-denial.
"At the time when our armies made the tour of
Europe, they left everywhere, as the traces of their pas-
sage, the germs of liberty, and the destruction of the
abuses of the feudal system. It shall not be said that in
1849 a French army has acted in another manner and
brought about another result.
" Desire the General to thank the army in my name
for its noble conduct. I have learned with pain
that even physically it has not been treated as it de-
served to be.
" Nothing should be neglected to make our troops
comfortable.

" Receive, my dear Ney, the assurance of my sincere
friendship.

" LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE."

The effect produced at Rome by this admirable
letter will be found stated in our Italian intelligence.
In addition to what is there mentioned, we may
observe that it is understood that an aide•de camp of
the PRESIDENT has been dispatched to Rome for the
purpose of depriving the Cardinals of all further
administrative authority.
The Permanent Commission of the Legislative
Assembly met on Thursday. The Minister of the
Interior (M. MoLE), who had come expressly from
his seat at Champlatreux, and General CISANOARNIEB,
were present.
The affairs of Italy formed the subject of discus-
sion.

After having heard M. DIITAURB and General
CLIANGARNIER, it was decided that there was no
necessity to convoke the Legislative Assembly before
the end of the prorogation.

Sir MOSES MONTEFIORE has arrived at Marseilles
from Jerusalem.

We regret to find that at Marseilles the cholera is
greatly on the increase ; on the 3d the deaths in the
hospitals alone being 62.
M. DE MONTALEMBERT was entertained at a splen-
did banquet given to him by the town of Besancon.
His reception was most cordial, and the speech he
delivered after the dinner was enthusiastically ap-
plauded. Besancon is the birthplace of Fotransa and
of M. PROUDHON.

General CHANGARNIER has received the Grand
Cross of CHARLES 111. from the QUEEN of Spain.
After the censure pronounced on M. BERTIN,
'Deputy Mayor of Havre, by the Municipal Council
of that town, for the Republican speech he had ad-
dressed to the PRESIDENT, that functionary and
another of his colleagues tendered their resignation.
The Council immediately elected two other /lc/joints
in their place.
Rumours were rife last evening in Paris that in
consequence of the letter of the PRESIDENT on Roman
Affairs, M. DE FALLOVX would resign, the Minister
of War accompanying him in his resignation. At
any rate that letter must lead to a rupture somewhere,
if it does not conduce to the speedy settlement of this
complicated transaction.
The Bordeaux journals announce the death of M.
RATES, one of the representatives for the Gironde,
and belonging to the Legitimist party, at the age of
76. He has been for some time past in delicate
health. M. RAVES was President of the Chamber of
Deputies under the restoration.
The Duchess of ORLEANS is understood to have re-
tired to Eisenach with her children, and has met with
a most cordial and respectful greeting from all classes
of the population.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

In the main features of the Bank of England account,
far the week ending the Ist instant, there has been no
vat iation of importance, but we are gratified to perceive
a diminution of private balances, and an increase of
advances upon other securities. The effect upon the
active circulation has not been felt, because there is a
larger amount of Government moneys being paid in for
duties, &c., and the sum of the precious metals in-
creased a little, as the imports still balance the exports.
Compared with the
.previous week, the result is as
follows: _

We have been much interested by the perusal of a
remedy for monetary panics, because the author, Mr.
Hamer Stansfeld, is a practical man, and suggests a
practical palliative. We pass by his review of the cur-
rency question, accurate as are most of the definitions
given, because there will still be a difference of opinion
on that subject, and we come next to the remedy
proposed. The author assumes that the imme-
diate cause of panics is the apprehension of
a deficiency of the legal tender. We have no doubt of
this fact ourselves, because we saw convincing proof of
it in 1847. The plan, therefore, would be to provide in
case of need a legal tender sufficient in quantity to re-
move the possibility of such apprehension being enter-
tained, and in order that the remedy may not be worse
than the disease, the new legal tender should be of such
a nature, as would neither depreciate the currency, nor
endanger the convertibility of the note into gold, nor in •
terfere with the natural rectification of the foreign ex-
changes. " Such a remedy, we believe," says the author,
" will be found in the plan we have now to suggest, or in
some modification of it.

" We propose to enact by law,
" That whenever, and so long continuously, as the mini-
mum rate of interest of the Bank of England on Bills
of Exchange not having more that 95 days to run, shall
be at above 6 per cent., all persons may demand of the
issue department notes in exchange for 3 per cent.
Consols, at the lowest market money price of the day on
which the said rate of interest shall be declared.
Such notes not to be convertible into gold, but into the
stock deposited within twelve months from the time of
their being issued, and to be entitled to the interest
accruing on the stock. The notes to be denominated
Consol Notes, and to be made a legal tender until due.
" There will be no difficulty in working such a plan.
Supposing the 15th of October to be the day on which
the Bank should raise its rate of interest to 6 per cent.,
and that the lowest money price of Three per Cent.
Consols should be 85k, any one could go the following
day to the issue department, and, on signing a transfer,
demand in exchange for 1001. of such stock a Consol
note for 551. 2s. 6d. All the notes, then, during that
crisis would be of that amount, and it would be well to
have a note for each 1001. stock, so that at the expira-
tion of twelve months, the transfer to the nt..w parties
could be easily effected.
" We have introduced only the Three per Cent. Con-
sols to avoid having Consul notes of different values, but
otherwise there is no reason why the holder of the
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., and other Government
stocks, should not have the same option.
" Should the application for notes commence the fol-
lowing day, the 16th October, all issued during the quar-
ter ending the sth January would be reconvertible on
the sth October following, the usual quarterly period for
paying the dividends. The issue department should
have the notes prepared, leaving the date and amount
to be filled up in ink, after the manner of Bank post
bills. So soon as the Bank of England should reduce
its interest below 6 per cent. the operation of the Act
would cease, and the notes at the end of the year be
cancelled, the status ante quo would be restored and
maintained until the Bank should again raise its inte-
rest to the prescribed rate. The expense of working
such a plan would be merely the cost of preparing
the notes.
" Such Consol notes would be similar in their nature
to Bank of England notes, both being based on the
security of Government. The Bank of England are
allowed to issue their notes to the extent of 11,000,0001.
against the capital which they lent to Government, and
3,000,0001. more, the deposit of Government Stock, the
very principle we adopt."
The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were
very firm, and bills on Amsterdam were taken at rather
higher rates.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts notice
less doing by exporters of textile goods, owing to the
rise in the price of Cotton.
The exports of the precious metals from London
during the week to Thursday last was 96,000 ounces of
silver and 539 ounces of gold.

LONDON AND NORTH- WESTERN RAILWAY.—The
magistrates have confirmed the assessment on this com-
pany's Liverpool and Manchester section in the parish
of Newton, notwithstanding the admission of the parish
authorities that it should be reduced from 1,0001. to 4001.,
leaving the company the right of appeal to quarter ses-
sions. The representatives of the company stated that
they were indisposed to pay the amount, from a know
ledge of the fact that their payment of the rates did not
go to the relief of the poor, but mainly to relieve the
rate-payers and landowners from contributing their just
proportions.
The Earl of Burlington, accompanied by Lord
Cavendish and the Hon. Frederick Leveson Gower, have
lett Milnethorpe-hall, to visit the Duke of Devonshire,
at Limon Castle, Irolawl • •
