An (initial notification from the Board of I Wahl',
published in Tuesday's blazette, contains many in-
teresting details of the recent progress of this
disorder, and combines some important injunctions
respecting the means by which it must be alleviated
or averted, with melancholy confessions of the
utter neglect in numerous localities of all the lessons
taught at the two former periods of visitation.
Traring the course of the cholera from the east
and west, the board relate :
"'Phis disease again, first breaking out in Persia, has
extended within the present Pear over a is. portion of
Esissist, stretching as far tiortliwanla as Arehattgel, sin the
shows of the Arctic tleean. It has nivalf,ell !Denmark,
Norway, and Sweden, and then developing itself in the
north of 4 balmily, it has attiwkeil Stettin, Berlin, Rotter-
dam, and Ham burg: and Dinlosegnently it lists appennil
in England, again breaking out on its north-iea coast in
the near neighixnuhisid of the town in wide!' it made its
first uppesmtnee in this C. 'wary in !MI. Its this wide-
spread course it has everywhere overleaped the harriers
which quarantine has erected to stay its progrvase. and
where this memos of protection has been most en-
forced it has not only disappointed the expectation of
those who have lilied upon it as a isafe,.rnarsl, often to the
neglect foal exelsisilm of the most important precautions,
but has aggravated the evils of the pwtilence, tuts) added
disastrous consequence,' of its own."

Itemarking that the type of disease is not less
virulent than before—that in Newcastle and flaws
head, where it has again made its rind appearance on
English ground, the severity of its visitation even
exceeds that tOrmerly experienced; and that it has
now attacked in those place*, as also abroad. • larger
proportion of the luidille and higher classes—the
writer' ',tweed to deplore the remissness whirl' has
left us hardly teem prepared than heretofore to eopc
with the advance of the dreaded epidemic :
" It is deeply to be lamented that tie' interval between
