The public excite ment on the subject is fast decreasing in Newcastle and Gateshead. Sermons have been preached at the various churches in both places, and very consider able sums collected for the relief of the sick and bereaved sufferers from the pestilence. The noxious influence of the atmosphere at Newcastle and the neighbourhood has beeu exemplified in its effect on the hotly of medical visitors, on all of whom it pro duced simultaneously unusual physical and mental depression and entire loss of appetite.

They describe the atmosphere as being heavy, thick, and misty, giving to distant objects the appeaniuce of being seen through muslin; and they describe the plague of flies with which the district is visited as greatly adding to the impurity of the air and the discomfort of the people. In the lowest and most affected dis tricts the visitors met with cholera corpses in groups of twos and threes; yet, in some of the houses in which death had been moat busy, the survivors re mained, in spite of all exhortation, in a state of nsta ,t intoxication, refusing all v.sitation a..il me dicine.
