CHOLERA IN LONDON. The following letter, on the subject of Cholera, from our Consul at London, merits attention. . Globe. To the hon. Edward Livingston, Secretary of State. London, 29th Feb. 1S32. Sir Of the existence of Cholera in London there appears to be no reasonable ground for doubting. The fact was at first warmly disputed in many interested quarters, and was consequently disbelieved by a great portion of the community. At Newcastle and Sunderland the same tiling took place. The current of opinion was, in the origin, very strongly against all who asserted that this disorder prevailed in those places, and the number of reported cases diminished, until a sudden and extensive increase of the malady overw helmed all scepticism on the subject ; such will probably be the course of events here. The disorder is occasionally manifesting' itself in different parts of the metropolis, making at present, howevcrra very small aggregate of cases for so large a population, and in reality adding nothing to the average mortality. On tho contrary, that average is in some districts so much less than that of the same period last year, as to give rise to an opinion that Cholera is a novel mode of death for those only who would have died at about the same period, if this disorder had not appeared. This opinion, however, is very questionable,. for it attacks the young, the strong and the healthy, as well as those who arc old, feeble or sickly. The contagiousness of the disorder is still a-point of 'great doubt. Its first appearance lie re could not be traced to any specific com munication with persons or places infected. It has also, here as elsewhere, made its ap pearance simultaneously in districts distant from each other, and in individuals who have apparently been secluded from all chances ofinfections. But then again, several persons in the same house have been attacked at tho same time, and others who have merely passed through places where it has appeared, have themselves been the first victims, and possibly the origin of it, in places where-it afterwards prevailed. There is one circumstance, however, worthy of note, which is, that no report has yet been made of the disorder returning, after the lapse of a considerable period,. to a family that had once been exposed to its contagion within its own walls. I believe, also, that amongst the great number of medical men in this country, who have been in attendance on Cholera patients, only one has died of the disorder in question. A few of the cases in London have been extremely rapid in their progress, terminating in course of a few hours. The average fatality is nearly eight to" thirteen of the number attacked. I have the honor to remain, With the greatest respect, Sir, your most obedient servant, THOS. ASPINWALL. Louts Philippe. The friends of Louis Philippe, in Paris, have just published a statement, to prove that the King does not merit any of the reproaches which have been made against him on the score of avarice. In this they enumerate a list of public and private chanties: the distribution of. the colors of the National guard throughout the Kingdom; the purchase of numerous costly works of art ; the repairs and embellishments of Palaces; the expenditure for several grandyefes, &,c; and they conclude by asserting that lie has not invested a shilling in any foreign bank. The statement has produced great effect in Paris, and has satisfied most of those who had fallen into the common error on this subject. It would appear that the cliarges of avarice, Scc. have arisen from the regularity observed bv the King in his domestic affairs. Previous to his accession to the throne, he superintended in person all the arrangements of his establishments, and was frequently his own salesman for the produce of his farms. His table was supplied by a restaurateur, at so much per head; and a paiticular allowance was made for his horses. All this looked mean: but, on the other hand, he gave largely to public charities, and ex pended considerable sums in rewarding merit. An affecting incident of the latter is related on excellent authority. One of his stewards had a clerk,, who neglected his mi duties to write poetry, and when on the point of being dismissed, the circumstance was mentioned to Louis Philippe.: He saw the offender and addressed him thus : 'Young man, I have heard that you neglect the duties of your office; you have 3,000 francs per annum, and a brother and sister to support Quit' your bureau, and cultivate your muse. For two years 1 will allow you in your retirement 5,000 francs per annum. If, at the end of tliat time, you should have produced a good poem or a good play, return to me and I will patronize you; if not, abandon poetry, and resume the clerks pea.
t the end of less than the two years, the young man hud finished a play. He brougnt it to Louis who read, approved and recommended it. It was accepted at the Theatre Franeafs, and was acted with great success. The author is now one of the first poets of France London Monti ly Mag . T.ic Foundling Hospital at Pjm.-No public edifice ever presented an r.ppearancc more in opposition to the painful reflections its mens existence gives rise to, than the Foundling Hospital." You expect on entering nothing but tears and disgust, and yet you scarce! v hear the cries of the newly born
babes you expect matter for dark philosophcal emotion, and you see notning arounu you but flowers, good grey siste sters, snow which you mav add the fruits of weakness, perhaps of crime. You walk between two rows of cradles, as in a flower garden; only in the latter, nature gives to the orphan plants their proper nurture, liere you may see heads with flowing yellow rmgieis, angei faces, a room peeticaliy called 'the crib,7 a pretty little chapel, and a dissenting room. On arriving at the outer door, I was struck with a sort of box or cupboard with a double opening, one towards the street, and the other inside the building. It was much like the letter box at the post office, and the comparison is strengthened when we consider that a mother often dropped her child into it as she would a billet-doux. This box or cupboard is no longer used. Formerly the unhappy mother deposited there, mvsteriously and at night, her new-born babe; then after ringing the bell to awaken the sister on duty, she disappeared her tears and her remorse still heard in the surrounding darkness. It is different now a singular abuse compelled the change. Dead bodies of children were often found in the cupboard, put there either to avoid the expense of burial or to conceal a crime. This mode of defrauding the guillotine and the undertaker, no longer exists. A sister sits up all night at the entrance of the parlor, and receives from the hand the children that arc brought to the hospital during her watch the cupboard is closed and its "lock rusty mishaps are thought less of than formerly. The infant is taken to the hospital at noon day; it is even recommended to the kind attention of the sisters; its father's name is carefully repeated, and after a few tears, the -whole is forgotten. . At the present day, nearly three fifths of the foundlings die "in their first year. A fourth of the. newly-born children perish during the first five days, and more than two thirds after the first month. Five years af'ter the day on which eight children had been deposited at the hospital, only three of them would be found alive. Extend the time to twelve years and there is only one survivor. It is lamentable to think, that the efforts' art and those of administration are powerless f inverting this deplorable mortaiitv It is however, some consolation to learn, that the number of deaths decreases daily, and that the mortality of the hospital, at present, bears no proportion to what it was forty years ago; a single fact will prove this. Now-a-days, carriages bring nurses to Paris from the country, and each department has its foundling hospital. But can it be credited that, prior to the revolution, the hospital in the metropolis was the only one in the kingdom, from all parts of which children were brought to Paris to receive a life ticket, which oftcner turned out a certificate for death. A porter walked through the provinces, carrying on his back a padded box containing three newly born babes placed upiight in it, supported by wadding, and breathing through a hole in the lid. This man quietly wended his way towards Paris, careless of dust, mud, the mid-day sun, or the bustle of inns. Now and then he stopped to take his meals, and make his young companions suck a little milk". On opening the box, he sometimes found one of them dead. When this happened, he would throw the body by the road side and continue his journey w ith the remainder. On his arrival, he got a receipt for the goods delivered, without being answerable for accidents on the road.. Le. Liverc des Ccnt-ct-Un Letter from Mr. Van lluren, in reply to one addressed to him by a committee appointed by a large meeting of the citizens of the city of New York. London, Feb. 21th. 1832. Gentlemen I have been honored with your kind letter of the first instant, communicating to me the sentiments of a public meeting of my Fellow-Citizens on the subject of the rejection by the Senate of my nomination as Minister to this country. Having always observed, on the part of the Republicans of the city of New York, a frank and fearless independence of opinion, and a disinterested regard to truth & justice in their estimate and support of public men, I have looked to their approbation with solicitude as a criterion of conduct, and have received the testimonials of respect with which they have occasionally honored me, with correspondent satisfaction, but never with such deep felt sensibility as in the present instance. Severed for the first time from my country and friends, and placed in a conspicuous situation among strangers, in a foreign land, advantage lias been taken of my position to level at me a snalt intended to wound me to the quick, and to humiliate me in the eyes of the Government and nation with whom I was to treat, and to whom I was, as yet, but little known. Thanks to the generous and warm hearted promptness of mv Fellow-Citizens of New York, the same moment that brought me the poisoned shaft of my enemies, brought also the missive of my friends 'vith healing on its wings.1' When you inform your constituents of this circumstance, they will at once perceive how well timed and effectual has been the assurance of sympathy, esteem and confidence, and how deeply it must have sunk into my heart.

That my exertions were arduous, piinud, and incessant, I may without vanity, assert : whether my sacrifices have not been repaid with unmerited detraction and rcproarh, i leave to my countrymen to determine. q;u T bnll ever reo'ard mv situation in that kJin - PoLmo. ns one of the most iortun.it of my life, placing me as it did in clos and 'II liliv " - f,m!i;r volition with one who lies wen been i described by Mr. Jellcrson as kposses-j:ng more of the Roman in his character tnan any man livinv' and whose administration will be lookedto, in future times,. as a golden era in our history. To have served under such a Chief, at such a time, and to have won his confidence and .esteem is a sufficient glory, and of that, thank God, my ene mies cannot deprive me Of the particular a I am happily indebt mission of feelings on nublican fellow citizens, it is not, perhaps, proper, and I would fain think, not necessary, that I should say much. The courtesy due to the highest of our Legislative bodies obliges us to presume that the reasons assigned by the majority for their decision were sincere; if so, I console myself with tho persuasion that public sentiment, of which 1 have an earnest before me, is likely to determine the futility of those reasons, and the injustice of that decision. Allow me, gentlemen, in conclusion, to thank you heartily for the expression of individual feelings with which you have accompanied the resolutions of your constituents. Enjoying a personal acquaintance with every one of you, and knowing how much of private worth and public respectability you represent, I feel flattered and "ratified to receive such sympathy at such hands: and situated as I am, I cannot but look forward with heart-cheering anticipation to the welcome with which you promise to greet my return to my native land. A few weeks residence here will be required to place the affairs of the legation in a proper train, as well as to settle my own private concerns; after which I propose to avail myself of the only opportunity that will probably ever be afforded me to visit a few of the most interesting points of the Continent. After that I shall make tho best of my wayhome, where I hope to arrive early in the summer. 1 shall then be able more adequately to express in person, my deep, my affectionate sense of the vigilance ami protect !mr kindness of mv Fellow Citizens, and of the honest zeal with which they have stepped forward to vindicate me from assaults during my absence. In the mean time, with a proud and grateful feeling of sincerity, I leave my character in their keepm:r. I remain, gentlemen, with the highest re spect, your servant and friend, M.. VAN BUR EN.
