Al considerable excitement and alarm seems to pervade all parts of the kingdom respecting tie " destructive ma lady" said to have been introduced into this town through the inadvertence of the quarantine officers ordering ships on their arrival from Holland, to proceed up a river con stmtly crowded with vessels, to the Deptford station, situated about a mile and a half above Sunderland bridge ; and from the free in - ercoutse of the semen with the in h ,bitants of the neighbourhood, it has generated to a frightful extent, we are induced to detail the proceedings that have occurred here since our list publication. That five persons expired, as stated in our last, is true ; but there are doubts as to the caese of their deaths—Asiatic cholera—and had it not been for the too zealous communi cations of some alarmists to the London Courier news paper, in this and a neighbouring town, it is more than probable that the inhabitancy of Sunderland would have neen represented am in the enjoyment of more than ordi nary health. There has been no accession to the usual number of patients at the Infirmary, and the medical men have not to enumerate an unusual addition of patients in their books. In fact the general appearance and gaiety of the inhabitants 01 these towns were never more apparent. No one hides or shuts himself up, as if inhaling an atmosphere charged with deadly contagion ; men ass mble in groups, and are as busy in their several avocations as at any former period ; the theatre continues open ; and there was a numerous public meeting on Wednesday, on the projected wet docks on the north side of the entrance of the river Wear. Sure'y such proceedings do not indicate that want of confidence, and dread of danger in the inha bitants of these towns, that many of our contemporaries inculcate ; and although the partial quarantine that has been ordered to be enforced in the Thames, as also in some of the out-ports, on the shipping that arrive from this de voted place, may he the means of closing momentary dis tress, we still possess the pleasing hope that a few days will be sufficient to dispel the charm, and that the coal trade of the Wear will long retain its wonted energy—in deed it is carried on with such briskness at the present time, that a great number of vessels have to proceed to Seaharn, to obtain an early return. Owing, as we have already stated, to the unnecessary al rm created, Government with a zeal that deserves our highest commen lation, instantly despatched Lieut.-( Creagh, an experi •raced officer, and Dr. Dann, (a medical gentleman of high and deserved repute) to the spot, to as certain the facts in all their bearings, allowing them full power to act as circumstances might require ; as also to prevent the spread of the fatal malady. Lieut.-Col. Creagh arrived at this place on Sunday last, and afrer making himself thoroughly acquainted with all the facts relative to the " eh structive malady" addressed a later to the Clerk of the CAincil, of which the following is an extract : I beg to transmit a copy of the report of the Medical Board which assembles in town each day at nine o'clock. I have seen the barracks, and should the houses now preparing ;be insuffi cient to accommodate the sick' I recommend its being converted into an hospital. The troops arc healthy, and, indeed, so is the town, with the exception of the few cholera cases. I trust my report to-morrow will be more favourable, and I beg you will as sure his Lordship that no exertions shall be wanting in carrying the object of his wishes into effect. Buildings have been pro vided as hospitals for the sick, and orders have been issued by Government to the Barrack.master, to issue all necessary sup plies of bedding and other barrack stores." On the 3d instant a notice was posted, by order of the Magistrates, recommending cie tnliness, in older to pre. serve the health of the town ; and they advise every poor family to whitewash their rooms ; and to enable them to do) so, a quantity of quick lime has been laid at several depots, so that all poor f►milies may be supplied gratis. On the 7th instant a second notice appeared, bearing the signa . ures of two magistrates, of which the following is an extract : " That on the best consideration, and aided by the opinion of Dr. Daun, we think it right to impress on the inhabitants in ge neral, and more particularly upon those residing in narrow streets and lanes, the necessity of continuing to attend to the ob servance of the greatest cleanliness. We also strongly recom. mend, that every case of sickness be reported, without delay, to the medical gentlemen of each district, so that immediate relief may be applied, which, in Dr. Daun'a opinion, is of the utmost consequence for their recovery." During early part of the week, the visitors ap pointed by the Board of Health were zealously employed in every dierict of these towns, in ascertaining by per sonal application from door to door, ti e state of health of the inhabitants ; and we have great pleasure in referring to the result of their labours. The town is divided into twelve district., and four visitors are appointed to each, whose duty was to visit every lane in the parish, each morning ; but from the generally healthy' state in which all parts were found, without exception, after completing their second inspec tion, it was detet mined that it should he repeated twice in each week, instead of daily. This is merely a precau tionary meaqtre on the part of the parochial authorities. 'We have been informed, on an authority for which we can vouch with the greatest confidence, that that pact of the town where the " destructive malady" is moat preva lent, is inhabited by persons steeped in poverty, through di-sipation and idleness; and that in thirty dwellings which were visited in a confined space, only two blankets were found for the whole of its inhabitants! Dissipation, the concomitant of starvation. is therefore the best auxi liary to the " destructive malady," that has caused such universal alarm in all parts of the kingdom. The gates of the barracks were closed on Monday, in order to prohibit the garrison !row having any communi cation with the inhabitants. On We(lne:ilay, the e-engines were employed in wash ing the narrow streets and lanes, with which the town abounds, of their accumulated impurities. 'lle visitors of the Board of Efealth have made a second inspection of their vat ious districts, and we hate unfeigned pleasure in adding, with general satisfaction, as they found that the poor had made strenuous efforts in cleansing and washing tleir humble dwellings, to avert the "destruc tive malady." A committee hat; been appointed to procure subscrip tions to provide food and necessaries for the poor inhabi taws of this town, during this period of " tribulation and trouble ;" and there was a meeting at the commission room, in the Exchange, yesterday evening, for the pur pose of carrying the benevolent measures into effect. In our last, it was stated that five persons had fallen victims to the disease. On Sunday, the paroclual officers furnished two, and on Aloud ,y, five coffins. On Tuesday, nine cases were reported to the board, and seven deaths. On Wednesday, there were seven cases, and four deaths. Dr. Daun informed us yesterday evening, that for the last twenty-four hours, there had not been a bad case re ported; and, in his opinion, the town was otherwise in a healthy state. We have to thank a zealous friend for the following ex tracts from the parish register, which will at once show tile absurdity as well as the imbecility of the " alarmists." 18'29.—Oct. 8 to Nov. 8.

There was a very large, respectable, and numerous meeting of the inhabitants of this town, holden at the Commission-roam, in the Exchange, yesterday, George Robins, Esq. senior Magistrate in the chair, ; the High Sheriff of the county being present, when peat dissatis faction and disgust were expressed at the erroneous repre sentition made to Government relative to the alleged im portation of Indian cholera, and a resolution was passed with only four dissentients, that the names of the medical gentlemen who agreed or acceded with the original report transmitted to the Board of Health in London, should be given to the public, and that the names of the medical gentlemen who dissented from that report, should be a l so given to the public. This, we understand, has not yet been complied with. The inhabitants of this town are anxious to know th e opinion of the medical gentlemen on the annexed ques tions:— let. Whether the cholera stated tobe prevalent here has arisen spontaneously, or has been imported by foreign contagion ? Whether the diseases called Continental Cholera, Indian Cholera, Spasmodic Cholera, and Common Cholera, are not all one and the same disease, varying in intensity and malignity? This disorder appears to have been well known and dis tinguished, from very early periods down to the present times. Hippocrates and Celsus were well accuainted with it. In later times, it has been most accurately described by various authors, without any distinction as to Conti nental, Indian, Spasmodic, &c. Tissot, in his Avis an Peupel, (v. 2d ed. translated by .1. Kilpatrick, M.D. published in 1766) page 324, thus describes it. " OF THE CHOLERA MORBUS. " This disease i s a su dd en , It by vomiti ng and by stool. abundant 'a t it with d much flatulence uatio o n r , wind, with swellin g an d s li g ht pa i ns i n the belly, accompanied with great dejection, an d f ol l owe d w ith l a rge evacuations, either by stool or by vomit at first; but whenever either of them is be.. gun, the other quickly follows. The matter evacuated is either yellowish, green, brown, +vilifier, or black. The pains in the belly are violent. The pulse is almost constantly feryrsslr, is sometimes strong at first, but soon sinks i n to weakness, in mists- (plena of the prodigrou: discharges. Some patients purge 100 times in the compass of a few hours, they may be even seen to fall away ; and if the disease exerts in a violent degree, they ar e scarcely to be known within three or four hours from the ma: mencement of these discharges. After a grew number of them, they are afflicted with spasms, or cramps in their legs, thighs,'And arms, which torment them as much as the pains in the belly. When this disease rages too highly to be assuaged, hiccups, con vulsions, and a coldness of the extremities approach, there is a scarcely intermitting succession of fainting or swooning fits, the patient dying either in one of them or in convulsions." In page 32f), it is stated that " the rage of the disease abates a little after a duration of five or six hours. We must not presume, however, during this remission or abatement to tbrbear to throw in proper remedies, since it returns with greater force, &c." Brooks, in his " Practice of Physic," 1.71 , 3, Vol. I. p. 340, under Cholera Morbus, from Hoffman, says, ff there is no disease ex ce pt th e plague and pertlential fever that kills sooner than this does, especially if it attacks old persons or children, or such as arc weakened by diseases." Though it is said to be the opinion of the majlrity of the me , lical gentlemen in this town, that the disease pre vailing here has arisen spontaneously, and was not intro duced by foreign contagion ; yet it is most singular that suc h opinion h is not been opnly declared, or that the Board of Health has not made it a point to endeavour to ascer• tun this fact. Should it be ascertained that this disease has arisen spontaneously, it is presumed that this will tend to soothe and calm the minds of all classes of the inhabi t:tits, that it will operate as in additional inducement to the lower classes to submit with alacrity to the regula tions prescribed or imposed as to cleanliness, temperance, ; and tint it will diminish the inducements of certain individuals to lessee 'he town, as they will naturally con clude that all the neighbouring places will be also liable to similar attacks from the same atmospheric influence. It is said that some of our most r nlightened medical practitioners doubt whether the disorder in question be really Cholera Morbus, or a sort of gastric fever similar to that lately prevalent in Edinburgh. It would be very satisfactory to learn in what particu - lars the foregoing general description of chrrPra ntorbus, by Tissot, differs from the symptoms of the Continental, Indian, or Spasmodic Cholera. SECOND EDITION. Herald Office, Saturday Evening, Nov. 12. CHOLERA AIORBUS. At a public meeting of the ship-owners, merchants, and other inhabitants of Sunderland and theWearmouths, most numer,usly attended, held at the Exchange-buildings yes terday afternoon; JOHN fluonAxn, Eiq. in the Chair; On the motion of John Spence; Esq., it was resolved, seconded by Mr. Robert S poor 1. That it is the decided and unqualified opinion of this meet ing, founded upon the reports of the gentlemen appointed by the respective parishes to visit the houses of the inhapitants, that the town is now in a more healthy statethan it has usually been in the present season of the year ; and that from the best inquiries that have been made in every quarter for Information, as to the nature of the disorder which has created unnecessarily so great an ex citement in the public mind, throughout the kingdom, the same is not the Indian cholera, nor of foreign origin, but that the few cases of sickness and deaths which have taken place in the town, within the last six weeks, have, in fact, been less in num ber than generally occur, and have arisen from that description of disorder hitherto known as common bowel complaints, which visit every town in the kingdom in the autumn, aggravated by want and uncleanliness. On the motion of Henri , Tanner, Esq. seconded by Mr. William Ord, 2. That the paragraph inserted is the London Newspapers, dated Newcastle.upon-Tyne, the 4th inst. wherein it is stated that the Asiatic or Continental Cholera had been introduced into this town, by shipping, from Hamburg, is a most wicked and malicious falsehood ; and so far from such having been the case, it is the implicit belief of this meeting, that no seaman or cus tom-houseotticer belonging to the port, has been attacked by any complaint resembling it. On the motion of Mr. John P. Kidsr:n, seconded by Mr. Turner Thompson, 3. That the measures adopted by his Majesty's Government, in requiring the shipping sailing from Sunderland to perform qua rantine, and more especially in preventing, as has occurred this day, by a ship of war, all' ships and other craft from leaving or entering the port, is perfectly unneco,sary and uncalled for, and more especially when it is considered that the transmit of goods and merchandise of every description, and unlimited com munication by coaches and other means by land, is permitted to every other part of the kingdom. On the moiun of Henry Moon, Esq. seconded by Mr. J,,ari)h Andrews, 4. That the harshness and inconsistency of these measures are rendered more apparent by the fact that, during the raging of the cholera on the Continent, ships were permitted to bring from thence goods of all sorts, when, at this moment, ships conveying coals, a mineral, are prevented from proceeding by his Majesty's vessels of war. Mr. J. J. VI RIGHT, in moving the fifth resolution, ob served, that he begged it to be distinctly understood that, ' in proposing the next resolution for the adoption of the meeting, he was very far from meaning to cast any reflec tion on the professional character, or to impugn either expressly or by inference the skill or knowledge of any of the medical gentlemen who composed the late Medical Board of Health, some of whom, by their profound re search, distinguished talents, and deserved pre-eminence, had fur yeals rt fleeted honour upon the town of Sunder laud, and pliced many of its inhabitants under oblig.itions which inspired sentiments of grateful respect. One fact, however, was beyond dispute--that some individuals had made ct:mnitinications which had reached Government, ex pressing or conveying an impression that the contagious Asiatic Cholera, which had so long been the terror of the Continent, had reached Sunderland—an impression which the result had clearly shown to be erroneous, and which . had produced as we ll an em b argo upon th e p or t, to the injury of every class of the community, as a groundless a'atin and apprehension throughout the realm, which it would require some time to dispel. Public duty, which ((specially in an individual bolding, as lie did, an official situation as ve-try clerk), must supersede all private feel ings, induced him, without hesitation, to confess what he was persuaded would be the general opinion of the meet ing, that no gentleman, however respectable and in fluential, should have made any communication to Go vernment on so serious and important a subject without the sanction of the principal inhabitants, for it was mon strous that both the local quiet and counnercial interest of a large town, and the general tranquillity of England shoul.l he subj e ct to he disturl,ed by the precipitancy or opinions of any individuals. The resolution which he held in his hand had been drawn up with every care and anxiety to avoid p tin to any gentleman to whom it might he supposed to allude, and a. That this meeting deeply regrets that any individual, although actuated by proper and honest motives, should have given information to his Majesty's Government of the existence of India cholera in Sunderland, without having first clearly ascertained the fact, and without the knowledge and sanction of the principal inhabitants, and hope that the opinion of this meet ing, respectfully expressed, will prevent in future a conduct cat. culateil to produce such disastrous consequences, not only to this town, but to the country at large. R. B. Cal-, Esq. said that he agreed most cordially to the sentiments expressed by Mr. Wright, and with pleasure seconded the resolution. On the motion of Lieut. Leech, R. N. seconded by Robert Scurfield, Esq. ti. That a copy of these resolutions be signed by the Chairman, and forwarded to his Majesty's Government through the medium of the Commissioners now here, and that the same be printed and circulated. (Signed) JOHN HUBBARD, Chairman. At the meeting of the ship-owners, merchants, and other inhabitants of Sunderlvid and the Wearmouths, held at the Exchange Buildines, yesterday evening. JOHN HUBBARD, Esj. in the Chair. The folhiwt.ig medical eentlemen, v , z. —Dr. Brown, Mr. Wi liatra Dixon, Mr. Smithson, Mr. Croudace, Mr. Wat son, Mr. White, Mr. Green, Mr. Fergubon, Mr. Gregory, Me. Torb , iek, Mr. Ward, Mr. Morley, Mr. Cook, Al, Candlish, and Mr. Grecian, declared their opinions sepa rately, all agreeing that the cases of cholera which have occurred in Sunderl.nd and the vicinity, were nut Asiatic or tot eign cholera, imported, but aggravated cases of Eng_ lish cholera, and were not contagious or infectious, and let ters were read from Dr. Collingwool, Dr. Burn, and Mr. J. W. Collingwood, to the same effect. Moved by Mr. Wats in, and seconded by Mr. White, That a general meeting of the medical profession in this town, be held at the infirmary, to-morrow, at noon, to draw up and agree upon a report of their opinions of the state of health of this town, which may tend to remo , e the quarantine regulations which had been imposed upon it, and that such report be deli vered to the chairman, to be transmitted to Government. Moved by Mr. Richard Spoor, and seconded by Mr. Booth, That copies of the whole of the correspondence which has passed from the late Medical Board of this town to Government, or any other Board or Office in London, be obtained for the in formation of the public, and that application be made by the Chairman to the proper quarters to procure them. Moved by Walker Featherstonhaugh, Esq. and seconded by Mr. William Hutchinson, That in addition to the above information, the public be made acquainted with each of the cases reported to Government, par tcularizing the name, address, and symptoms of each patient, the name of the medical gentleman who reported it, with his remarks, and observations as to the name and character of the disease. Adjourned until to-morrow ovening at seven o'clock. (Signed,) JOHN iIubBAH.D, Chairman The following is the substance of the opinions delivered by the medical gentlemen of this meeting Mr. DIXON-That the Continental Chofera has not been im ported into Sunderland, and that thecases ofsickness which have taken place in Sunderland are aggravated English Cholera. Mr. SMITHSON—That the Asiatic Cholera has not taken place in Sunderland. 1)r. BROWN—That the cases of cholera which have occurred in Sunderland arise from the product of our own soil, and entirely amongst ourselves, and has not been imported, and is not con. tagious. Mr. CROUDACE—Concurs with 1)r. Brown. Mr. NVATtiON—That the English Cholera only ha, prevailed here, and that he has set his face from the first against the pro. eeedings of the Medical Board. Mr. WHITE—That he has not seen a case of Asiatic Cholera in Sunderland. Mr. GREEN—That the cholera which has appeared in Sunder. land had no foreign origin. Mr. FERGUSON—That he dissented from the report for warded to Govet ment by the Medical Board of this town ; and he does not think that we have any Asiatic Cholera in this town, and that he believes we are now in a more healthy state, with the exception of an English Epidemic Cholera, than weare generally at this season of the year. Mr. GREGORY—That he has dissented from the proceedings of the Medical Board of this town from their flret commence. (Signed) N.B. Messrs. Gregory and Ward have not sent their reports for this day. ROBERT DAUN, M.D. This day a Coroner's inquest was held in the Justice Room, Sunderland, before I'. C. Maynard, Esq., Coroner, on the body of I),;rothy Swinney, who was reported to have died of wounds in flicted by some person on Sunday last. But, after many -hours examination by several professional gentlemen, the following verdict was given,—" Died by the Visitation of God. and not by any blows or violence received." (From the Carlisle Journal.) On the arrival of the intelligence in Carlisle, it was de termined to hold a meeting of the medical men and others to consult on the best steps to be taken should the disease unfortunately make its appearance here. The meeting teas held on Monday, in the Town- hall, at half-past twelve o'clock. The Mayor (John- Hodgson, Esq., of Penton) was called to the chair. Nearly the whole of the medical men in the city were present, and amongst the non-medi cal part of the meeting we ob•erved the Dean of Carlisle, the Rev. S. Goodentiueh, tl.e R. v. J. Fawcett, the Rev. Mr. Rees, the Rev. Mr. Ward, Mr. J. M. Head, Mr. W. Halton, Mr. Slitter, Mr. W. Hodgson, &e. &c. Mr. W. Nanson read the circular issued from the Home-office, at the instance of the London Board of Health, lecom mending precautionary steps to he taken by the authorities in every town, to guard against the introduction of the cholera. Sir J. Gilpin, M.D., and Mr. Lorrimer, sur geon of the 24th Regiment, now stationed here, stated they had seen a good deal of the disease in the East and West Indies, and both gentlemen gave it as their opinion that it was not contagious. Sir Joseph said that in the East it had never been consideted as such by any of the medical men he had there met. Dr. Barnes said, that though he could not back his opinion by such experience as the two last gentlemen, he entirely coincided with them in the belief that the disease was not contagious. He was also of opinion that much more alarm had been excited upon the subject titan was ne- cssary ; at the same time he was anxious that every pre caution should be taken that prudence could dictate, to prevent its introduction into this city. The principal points to attend to were cleanliness, a sufficiency of whole some food, anti an avoidance of all excesses. He thought this country much better prepared to contend with the disease than any of those it had lately visited. Our work ing classes were better fed and clothed, and more comfort ably lodged than those upon the continent. With respect to Carlisle, he had never known it, at this period of the year, in so healthy a state. There were but nine cases of fever in the House of Recovery, anti none of them of a malignant nature. He would recommend that as the Committee of Management of the House of Recovery was a ready constituted body, that it should be formed into a Board of Health, and with such additions to its members as might be found necessary, take the necessary steps for enforcing cleanliness and such other measures of precau tion as might be deemed advisable. The s uggestions met with general approval. The Mayor - , aid he would take upon himself to see that all the streets within the jurisdiction of the Corporation were kept in a proper state of cleanliness. But there were several streets and lanes which were private property, and over which he could exercise no controul. Fur these some other plan must be adapted. Mr. W. Hodgson said as there was now a water pipe front the reservoir in the Gaol to the Bush inn, he thought if a plug were inserted there, all the streets on the descent from that place might be washed as well as swept. With respect to cleansing the lanes several suggestions were made ; and on the recommendation of the Dean it was finally agreed that an application should be made to the different proprietors, to have them thoroughly cleansed, or to allow the Board to cleanse them. A number of gentlemen were then added to the Com mittee, and it was agreed to invite the whole of the medical men in Carlisle to become Members of the Medical Com mittee. It was then resolved to divide the town into nine districts, to be visited by the Committee, to enforce the re gulations as to cleanliness, &c. A subscription was also entered into to defray the expense of additional scavengers, lime for whitewashing the houses of the poor, &c. (From the Durham Chronicle, Nov. 12.) We are utterly unable, from the great demands upon our space, to animadvert, at much length, under this h, ad, upon the conduct of the Medical Board at Sunder land, with respect to the reported existence of Asiatic cholera in that town. In addition to the statements on this subject, which will be found in another column, we can only express our firm belief, that the panic which the zeal, not according to discretion, of these gentlemen has been instrumental unental in producing, is unfounded in fact. ' Though too much precaution cannot be used, to guard against the ravages of foreign cholera, if it should, here after, unhappily reach our shores, we repeat our un shaken and deliberate conviction, that there is, at present, no reasonable ground for the alarm into which t h e people of the whole empire have been so need lessly thrown, by the appalling announcements that have e manated ft urn Sunderland. It is a curious fact, that the number of burials, in the three parishes of Sunderland, Bisbopwearmouth, and Monkweartnouth, between the Sth October and the Bth November, 1830, was 98—and that, in the corresponding period this year, which included Tuesday last, the number of interments was precisely the same 1 W e may add to this, that we have been personally assured, by many of the mos t respecta bl e an d i nte l l i gent inhabitants of Sunderland, that the town was never in a mole healthy state than at this moment. It is, therefore, most devoutly to be wi s h e d, t h at t h e para d e o f mag i ster i a l a uthority and professional activity, which has brought upon the injury to a real " scourge ," i n t h e s h ape o f incal culable to the interests of the putt and neighbour hood, were terminated ; that busy-bodies and dupes, of all descriptions, great and s m a ll, old and young, might, the one, cease to trou bl e, and, the other, be at rest. We observe from the Leeds Mercury that Mr. BArNes says, " Nearly all the true and respectable Reformers, including the bulk of the working classic, absented themselves--not more than from 1,000 to 1,500 persons being assembled when AUNT began to speak, though the noise afterwards attracted many rune, and there might be 3,000 when the assemblage was most nu merous. This, be it remembered, was in a town of 73,000 inhabitants, and On the market and fair day." We know that accounts arrived in town, from individuals more accustomed to estimate numbers than mere civilians, giving numbers much lower than the above.—Moruing Chron.

Mr. TORI3OCK—That a tjholera has appeared in the 'own of a malignant ch racter, such as has never peen known in this town Wore, either as regards the symptoms before d ea th d ur i ng the progress of the disease, or on examination after death but not of a contagions or infectious character. — Mr. WARD—That his •inqualifled opinion is that the disease in Sunderland is not a contagious disease, and not more aggra vated than the epidemics of the four previous autumns. Mr. MORDEY—That the disease in the town is not conta gious, and that one person who died of it havin g h a d, to hi s knowledge, a number of individuals constantly in the room who never toil it, shows that it was not contagious or infectious.—To call it Asiatic Cholera is a farce. M r. COOK—That there is no infectious disease in Sunderland, but a serious disease. Mr. CANDLISH—That the di ease is not contagious, but has arisen spontaneously. Mr. PENMAN—That the cholera which is now i n th e t own has the same symptoms as that which hoe appeared in foreign countries, and is infectious. Mr. GRECIAN —That we have never had one case of Asia tic, foreign, or contagious cholera of any kind. At a numerous m-eting of medical gentlemen residing in Sunderland and its vicinity, Resolved—That a disease possessing every symptom of epi demic cholera is now existing in this town ; that it has never ap peared on board of ship; that there is not the slightest ground for imagining that it has been imported, nor that it has extended itself by contagion, though the sufferers have been attended by num ers of friends and neighbou7s. That it appears to have arisen from atmospherical distempera ture acting in most cases upon persons weakened by want of wholesome food and clothing, by bad air, intemperance, or p•e vious disease, and that the interruption of the commerce of the port seems to offer the most probable means of extending the disease, by depriving the industrious poor of their bread, and thus placing their families in the depths of misery and distress. In conclusion, the medical gentlemen trust that the above statements will remove many misconstructions and false reports which have arisen out of this unpleasant affair ; and beg to con gratulate their fellow townsmen on the otherwise good health of the town Wm.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. need not inform you of the alarm that has taken place througho u t the country on ac count of the alleged Asiatic cholera having made • its appearance in Sunderland ; I say alleged, notwithstanding what the Board of Health mat' siy to th e contrary ; for I think, in common with many others in the town, that they (the Board) have been very premature in their con clusions as to the disease being the same as that on the continent, because, on inquiry, I find most of the cases to be no more than what we are annually visited with, and also from the printed report of the visitors that the town is considerably more healthy than could be expected at this season. I also find that in most of the reported cases of cholera which have proved fatal, the indivi duals had been unwell of bowel complaints, at tended with sickness, &c., for a long time pre- vious to their deaths, and that some had never applied for any advice, expecting it would work off, and that they still continued to folow their various callings ; and likewise that none of them were known to be in any situation where they could receive any contagion. I here beg leave to subjoin an account of the death of the man named Ellimore, who is stated to have died of Asiatic cholera. I bad it from a most authentic source. In the first place, he was a drunken, profligate character, and an old man ;in business a pilot. On Friday last he went out to sea (it is said he had not broken his fast on that day), and he came in with a vessel on Saturday (still he had had nothing to eat). He received his share of the pilotage, and in stead of putting it to a good use, went and got beastly drunk, reeled home about midnight, end laid himself down on the floor, before the fire, he not having either bed or bedding. He had not been there long, before he complained of being unwell. His daughter, who, with her husband, resided in the same room, and equally as destitute (except laying upon a bedstead, without either bedding or mattrass) did not think any thing the matter more than usual. He, however, continued to get worse, being troubled with severe pains, cramps,&c. Medical aid was at length procured, but he died on the Sunday,—and this is one of the cases of Asiatic cholera, for which the town is to be placed under quarantine regulations. You will see from this, one of the worst of tie cholera cases, that the disease of which the • unfortunate man died was intoxication and want of food—causes which would occasion illness and death at any period of the year, and that it was not from contagion. I here annex an extract from the report of the Sunderland Select Vestry of this day, who de clare it as their " opinion, founded on the forty eight gentlemen who have twice visited every house in the parish within the last three days, that the town of Sunderland is nor,' in a more healthy state than has been usual in the autumnal season ; and that the information which appears to have been given to his Majesty's Mon Hon. Privy Council, that the Indian cholera exists in this town, is not justified by the general health of the inhabitants." N.B.—The table will be found under the Sunderland head. NOVEMBER 12. You will observe there is no increase in the bill of mortality ending the 9th of November, 1831, over the mouth in the preceding year, and also the deaths are out of a population of between 40,000 and 50,000. Now, Sir, if you think the publication of any part of this in yoir widely-circulated journal will tend to allay any of that alarm which per vades all classes, you will oblige A CONSTANT READER. CITY BOARD OF HEALTH. On Saturday evening the City Board of Health assem bled at Guildhall, and received reports from the wards similar to those of the preceding day. It was stated that the parochial •authorities were actively engaged in follow ing the directions of the Committee, and that the re spectable population of the wards were most zealously oc cupied in lending aid. It was not considered necessary to issue any further directions. Several letters have been received, casting a doubt upon the nature of the disease, and stating that it is a chol.-ra well known to this country, and frequently prevalent in those parts of the country where mines abound. The Committee are determined to persevere in the course they have adopted. The medical men in stveral of the wards have offered their gratuitous servicei in the event of the arrival of the cholera. The City Board of Health are in communication with all the county d 7 stricts, to prevent the influx of the pau per population into London—an event apprehended, in consequence of the reports that the comforts of the poor are to be attended to. CHOLERA. PHOBIA (From the Durham Advertiser.) SIR,-UnwOling, in the present excited state of public feeling, that contradiction should rest upon rumour merely. I made it my business, this day, to visit Sunderland, and am warranted in assuring your readers, and the public ge nerally, that this malady, termed " cholera," prevailing in that quarter, is the offspring, mainly, of disordered passions, in other words—fear and apprehension. It is most deeply to be deplored that a Government mea sure should have been made of this silly affair; and, above all, that the " Bo ird" in London should have issued such a document (in circulation everyvrhere)regarding " cholera," it must be confessed, so pre-eminently calculated—might I so express it--to realize public dread and expectation. I write from hence to save post, and hope you may be able to find space for insertion.---Most truly, yours, Sunderland, Nov. 9. WM. HORSLEY, 111. D. At two o'clock this day, a general meeting of the i n habitants of the parish of St. James's, Westminster, took place at C::ORE'S Circus, in Windmill-street, for the purpose of forming a " Political Loyalty Protection," i n that pariah. Long before one o'clock, the boxes, pit, and galery we,e thronged to suffocation, as was also the stage, which was appropriated to the accommodation of the speakers.

During this evening's service at St. Mary's church, (nearly seven o'clock) the numerous congree,ation were alarmed by the furious tattling of the fire-rngines, an.ll.r the doleful tolling of the alatin b. its. Many who were able to assist immediately left the church, while those who remained were agitated by fear. It appears that the fire originated in a lodge, at the Elms fa:in, about three nii!es from hence, belonging to the widow of the late Mr. Thomas Pepper. The lodge was ne irly contiguous to large barn filled with corn, and a quantity of straw lay between them. By the very prompt attendance of the engines, and the great exertions of the neighbours, the barn was providentially saved ; but the lodge w.as com pletely destroyed. This, we have too much reason to tear, is the vile act of some base incendiary, whose works of darkness may iie concealed till the awful day when the secrets of all hearts shall be revealed. BRISTOL, Nov. 13. (iaoM A CORRESPONDENT.) Last night an attempt was made to set fire to the dis-, tillery of Messrs. Wild and Sons, Redeliff Barks, but was fortunately discovered by a woman of the name of Tudor, to whom much praise is due; she saw the mm etanding on the outside of the window on the first story, with a light in his band, in the act of s'tting fire to the premises, and ran to bim, saying, " Dm% fire my master's house ;" the villain dropped down, anti placing his hand on her throat, nearly stifled her. I hare just been to see her, and the marks of the man's beryls appear on her neck and throat in b'ack characters. A box containing combustibles was dropped, which was ricked up by another man stand ing near. Great praise is due to Mrs. Tudor, for in the scuffle she grasped the collar and part of the shirt of the villain, which is now in the possession of Mr. Wild, with some of th:e matches. It is very fortunate the 6re did not take place, as 4,000 barrels of turpentine are in the pre miies adjoining, and within a few doors are two cooperages and a floor-cloth manufact•try. Despatches were received this morning from Malta. CUMBERLAND REFORM COUNTY MEET ING. —There is scarcely a county, and not one consider able town in the kingdom which has not, by this tone, assembled to express its indignation at the rejection of th© Reform Bill, and its unchanged resolution to persevere in its pursuit of the one only remedy fur national evils. These meetings are so numerous that it would be vain for us to attempt even the moat imperfect outline of their proceedings. The county of Cumberland is at length to have an opportunity cf tepeatiug those sentiments which it so unequivocally expressed by the triumphant return cf two pledged friends to the Bill. Attached to the requi sition is an array of names unprecedented, we believe, on any similar occasion for respectability and influence, and which furnishes, as far as Cumberland is concerntd, a most triumphant answer to the creatures who con tinually repeat the cuckoo cry, that the Bill has only the support of the mob and the revolutionists, We will venture to say, that excepting M r . S TANLEY, of Ponsonhy, and Sir CuaisTorima Muscaxvz, there is scarcely a man of the ancient Aristocracy of the county avowedly opposed to the Bill. The inheritors of the great fiefs into which the county was partitioned by its Norman conquerors are to a man in favour of the There are four Peers of the realm connected with Cum berland, and of these three are for the Bill and one against it.
