THE CHOLERA. IN MARYLETIONE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In your Paper of Saturday last is a paragraph relative to
the cholera at Marylebone workhouse, containing the fol-
lowing expressions :—" But it appears that Thursday
last was a holyday with the children, and each was given six-
pence to spend ; the little creatures expended the whole of the
money in fruit, and having feasted themselves upon it the whole
of the day, they were all seized with the symptoms above
described."

This is a very gross misstatement; and your candour is relied
upon, to give insertion to the facts undermentioned, which will
fully demonstrate the degree of credit due to your informant.
On Monday, the 27th of February, the pauper girls in the
workhouse school, in number 148, had given to them, in the pre-
sence of a Director and Guardian of the Poor, one penny each ;
and no additional quantity of fruit or trash of any kind was al-
lowed or supplied than what that sum could furnish. The his_
tory of the cases of cholera, reported in our workhouse, will
bast prove the reliance to be placed on vague and unauthorised
statements.

The first girl attacked happened to be seized at two o'clock
on Wednesday morning. In the course of Wednesday, three
others were seized, and, in progression, on Thursday four more;
on Friday ten ; on Saturday two; and yesterday nine; making
together twenty-nine—eight being under treatment at the
time your well-informed correspondent declares they were
gorging a holyday treat.

Whatever, Sir, may be the differences or doubtful disputa-
tions of professional men, in their anxiety to determine the
name of a disease, the Board of Health of this parish, in corn.
mon with the Directors and Guardians of the Poor, cannot
allow such misrepresentation and falsehood as the above to pass
uncontradicted. I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A. H. POPE,
Honorary and Medical Secretary to the Board of
Health, and a Director and Guardian of the
March 5. Poor, of the parish of St. Marylebone.

TATTERSALL'S.
A few trifling changes occurred yesterday. At one part of the
day Beiram was backed at 8 to I, which odds were subsequently
offered currently. Margrave was not in favour, and cannot now
be quoted as a better favourite than Spencer. Non Compos was
in force, but no engagements to any amount were made, :a, his
backers would not take less than 14 to I, a point more than the
average offers. A day or two back 1,00; a 55 was taken about
Minster. Yesterday 20 to 1 went begging. This, perhaps, is
owing to Mr. Shard's Blythe having been added to Turner',
stable. Very little done in the Oaks; it will be observed, how-
ever, that the Advance filly stands very closely upon the heels of
Emiliana. We subjoin the closing prices :
