OUR warning of the approach of the Eastern pestilence has been echoed by the press, which we trust will not slacken in its endeavours to stimulate government to the adoption of the best precautionary measures. The disease is spreading in the contending armies in Poland, and numbers of the disheartened Russians, deserting, propagate its seeds. The Cholera is said to have appeared at Breslaw and Stettin; by the latest accounts, it was frightfully extending its ravages, and had penetrated into Austrian Gallicia. The German physicians expect to see it on the Rhine this summer. What, then, is to prevent it from reaching the Thames in 1832, or even in the autumn of the present year?-Merchant vessels are daily entering our ports from Danzig, Königsberg, Memel, Liebau, and Riga, and the existing quarantine regulations_so far as passengers are concerned-are little better than a cover for bribery,―certainly, totally inadequate to the accomplishment of their object. The rapidity with which the distemper might travel to our shores, is exemplified by the fact, that a vessel called the Comet, Captain Webster, lately arrived at Dundee, from Memel, after a passage of only eight days. Eminent physicians of France, Germany, and Russia, pronounce the Cholera to be contagious, and express their belief that it will extend throughout Western Europe. Some distinguished medical men are of opinion that it will produce a much greater mortality in the climate of Western and Southern Europe, than has been experienced in the frigid temperature and prolonged winter of European Russia. The governments of Prussia and Austria, alive to the enormous evil, establish a rigid cordon sanitaire; and, in conjunction with France, commission competent professional per sons to examine, and report upon, the character of the pestilence. There is little to hope from the conservative efforts of a government so proverbially indifferent to science as that of Britain. Orders in Council have been issued; but, under the present quarantine system, these will prove a very insufficient security. In place of the quarantine officers, at three shillings per diem, soldiers of the line should be substituted ;-men much less accessible to a bribe. Why do not ministers confer with the French and German Cabinets, on the means most likely to bar the advances of this scourge of the globe? Why not call a meeting of the medical men of London? Why do not the heads of the profession themselves assemble? There is but one answer-from the peer to the pedlar, we are in such hot pursuit of the "main chance,” that we have no time either to "fear God," or regard man." At the eleventh hour our rulers will bestir themselves-when the panic is universal, and the lazar-house required. THE ENGLISHMAN. |
