THE CHOLERA IN LONDON.
From The Pat NAH Gazette, July 2o.l
There can be no doubt now that the cholera
which has already effected lodgment in many Of
our more distant ports has appeared in a very
troublesome form in London. Thirteen casea
have been admitted into tho London Hospital and
fye deaths have occurred there this week; and
other patients ara now ID precarious state.
Several deaths from cholera have taken place in
the neighborhood of the hospital. In accordance
with the provisions advocated in tho short article
Which we lately pubiisEe on cholera hospitals, a
spacious ward has been set aside for these cases.
Il is already nearly full. One or two cases have
also been admitted at other OF the city hospitals
II is stated that in many of these cases the
patients had taken no precautions for arrestng

died at the London Hospital had not accepted the

THE COMMERCIAL INTERESTS OF GERMANY

wo extract the following: The astounding occur
rences which, almost as i'll q dream, have upset
the whole organization of our great common IA
ther1and, II there any organization at all
have brought under the immediate notice of tho
commercial public tho question how it is to net in
reference to the new state OF things which has
already begun to result out of the present war
The commercial community OF Germany have by
ibeen excluded, both practically and Theoretically
from participation in the higher State policy and
even in the work OF legislation It's field Of action
has been confined to the coasts, almost half
abroad, where they have managed their affairs for
themselves. This will now be otherwise. When
as t;aG now W appears p brobable common representa-
expression to the latent feelings respecting the
solidarity Of the whole nation, then the repressn-
tatves of German commerce must not stand aloof
from the conflicts at the elections to who is to
have the most important voice among the several
interests to be represented.
Quite apart from the particular political c0mpli-
cations or the country, German commerce munt
muster strongly at the elections to the first Ger
man Parliament, which will have to decide about
Its most vital interests and whose decisions will
be valid for long time to come. All the ques-
hcns left in aheyance through the confusion An i
'impracticaeity OF the hi.herto existing joint gov
besides the law of custons and tariffs in general
will be the important questions OF internal traffic

separate representative assemblies Of the German
States the learned professions have chiefly been
the PIussian Abgeordnetenhaus (House of Com
MonB) they Outweigled all others, even in num-
bers, but still more in ability to make Themselves
heard. The total number of members amounts
to S52. Out OF these, according to the last eec-
tions, there we're about 100 landed propretors or
agrculturiets, forty merchants and manufaotur-
>ers, 100 judges, forty officials and forty literary
men, professors, doctors, &c. Thus, against 140
men OF an independent practical calling, there
terest OF the people; and it we consider that the
latter, through their education, have great ad-
vantage over all practical men, we may reckon
that all decisions of whatever nature, were en-

that they did not consider the large number OF
assemblies, not even the Prussian Parliament as
being able to contribute towards the proper solu-
tion OF the vital questions affecting modern CON-
merce; the Chambers OF Commerce of each did
this much more satisfactorily. AS long as the
ZolYeren or Customs Union lasted, the represen-
tatHes OF Prussia had more to do with snch
questions that those OF the smaller States They
were under the management OF the Diet. E
In German Parliament, with powerful central

represent properly but advocates and professors.
1t is not eloqucnce alone, ability to
achieve splendid victories in debate, but practical
knowledge which is the most important quahca-
tion OF o representation. TO maintain
liberty which is fact, and no rhetorical fiction,
requires progress in national well-being. These

IL we preferred people without learning and edu-
cation. We desire to have clever and educated
people, learned in their way, but men whose e1-
perience has given them the opportunity OF test
ing their learning in tho crucibe OF practical life
We, therefore, repeat what we have often urged,
thatcommercial education should be more liberal
to be acquired IN everyday lfe and which would
enable the merchant to cope with the learned
gentleman even in ebate, by giving him the re-
4uired unity OF thought and action.
