THE CHOLERA.

THE prevalence et the epidemic has gradually dimi-
nished in NEWCASTLE. The official report for Wednes-
day announces that the deaths had diminished to 21,
both from cholera and diarrhult. Since the corn
mencement of the malady, the mortality had
amounted to 1301. In the same period, viz., the
tir-t twenty-eight days of visitation in 1e32, the num
Ler 11/11.4 210. At tiate.head the daily return was Is;
total, from the beginning, :147. 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. Two have
been obliged to leave in consequence of attacks of
diarrhoea accompanied with cramps. 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.
I. SHEFFIELD, MANCHESTER, and other manufac•
tun g towns, a few casts are suspected to have
of curnd. London also has presented a few instances
of tatil attacks, one of which occurred in Clenten-
we II Huu-e of Detention. All fear of any consider-
alio extension of the epidemic -.t.x,rns, however, to
have disappeared.
M. le Docteur 'Atelier, on a mission from the French
Government, to watch the progress and mode of
treatment of cholera in this country, had an inter-
view on Monday with the General Board of Health, at
their offices in Whitehall.

The Earl of Shaftesbury took his seat at the
General Board of Health on Monday, for the first
lime since his return from the Continent.

out. of 1,523 sick. In Ystad 339 sick bad given 104
deaths. In Gothenburg, up to the 17th, 455 cases,
and :239 deaths. The adjoining Majorua, 316 sick,
and 12S dead. In Stockholm, on the 15th, there
were I4S new cases of cholera, and s 4 deaths : total,
3,010 eases, of which 1.69 s have ended fatally. In
Norrkoping, on the 14th, tho number of total cases
was 1,077, and of deaths :153.

Ws9;; eases, of which 1,079 have been fatal.
Several other Norwegian towns are suffering in pro-
portion.

HAUES. Tlw Walruses have been 4,077 out of 7,517
persons attacked.

stettin shall be subjected to a ten days' quarantine, as

wk, the other Prussian ports, and Mecklenburg are
