THE CHOLERA.—This disease is gradually decreas-
ing in virulence. In Copenhagen, on the .4th, the
number of new cases announced was 146; deaths,o7;
or, from the commencement, 11,090 sick, of whom
3,119 have died. The Köln Zeit openly proclaims
that the epidemic is the direct punishment of Heaven
against the Danes for their resistawe to the German
movement in the last four years. Private persons
are still indefatigable in resisting the disease. Up-
wards of 1,009 persons have been removed from their
filthy and close-packed rooms, and sheltered in tents
and other buildings. Large distributions of food
continue. Committees are taking care of the orphans
and widows, fie., and the naked and miserable are
relieved. 'Voluntary subscriptions are still pouring
in. In Sweden the authorities are strict, even to
absurdity, in attempting to prevent the spread of
infection. In spite of the strict quarantine, the cho-
lera has broken out with virulence at Ystad, where.
upon the men in office drew up a double cordon
mnitaire —ono round each house "infected," and
another round the whole town. The consequence is
that the poorer classes are suffering dreadfully, pro.
visions are rising daily in price. In fact, there will
soon be a famine in the place. Of course a panic
has seized the whole province, and makes matters
ten times wore.
