TILE CHOLERA.

Till CHOLZRA IN PLTXOtilf.

The Ault rican I.:4eemigrantahii, Capt. Chad-
wick, strived in Plvateuth Sound on Tuesday afternoon, at
three o'clock, when it was stated that several of the emi-
grants ou board of her were afflicted with cholera. It sp.
pethat the ship clearci out of the London Decks on
red that
the 31. t of May, with about 270 emigrants on
board, and as she was proceeding down the river, one of her
passengers tell ill of the cholera. Shortly after another was
affected in the same manner. Both of them were German
emigrants, and had been resident in a house which had,
it is said, be en lettered by the dimmer. By the time
the vessel arrived in Portsmouth, one of her crew had
fallen a victim to the manly. The captain, on arriving off
Plymouth, put into the S sued and came to anchor. He
commut kited with the American consul, Dar. J. W. Fox,
who obtaited a surgeon to visit the vessel. While he was
there one of the patients expired; and several have died
since; the bodies of the deceit... 4 here been taken out to seal
and sunk in the channel. Wm. Burnett, Esq., mayor of
Plymouth, b.ing informed of the melancholy circumstance,
despatched Mr. Freeman, b. rough surgeon, on board.
Applica.ion was made to the admiral-superintendent of her
Majesty's dockyard, Sir J. Louis, for a vessel to be taken
into the Sound to rec ire the passengers fram the Eagle.
A hulk, the Tyne, was accordingly orde red to be rent, and
she was towed from the harbour into the Sound by
the Conilance steamer. No one has beea on shore
from the ship, except the captain. It is, however, rumoured
that the passengers will not proceed to their destination in
the vessel. Some of the emigran's on baud are German,
but the greater part are English. A correspondent says
" The custom ade pted on board emigrant vessels of havtrg
charcoal fires kept up between decks far the use of the tmi-
, grants has been found very delet-rious in the present in-
stance, the air between decks being very impure." The
cases of death which hare occurred on board this vessel have
been extremely sudden.
THE CHOLERA IN WALES AND SCOTLAND.
The cholera, we ( Hereford Jinsrnal) togret to state,
prevails at Cardiff and Merthyr. At the latter place, as ap-
pears from the official returns, there have been 22 eases,
and 13 have proved fatal. To the credit of the guardians of
the poor, they have been long end loudly proclaiming its
approach, and ea:ling oa patties to exert taentselves in
clew sing and draining the place. On Wednesday last a
public meeting was held in the vestry-room, whim tie medi-
cal gentlemen practising at Merthyr met the guardians, and
measures were adopted for preventing the spread of the
disease, and for the relief of the unfortunate sufferers.

RE-APPEARANCE OP THE CHOLERA.—At an inquest
held yesterday at the Middlesex Huspital, before air. H. M.
Wakley, a juror salted the coroner if it was tine that the
cholera, after espirin is Locdon, had again made its ape
pumice ? The Coron• r replit d tbat he was sorry to say it
had ; for on one day last we, k he held three =quote on
pumas who had died of Asiatic cholera, and the day he -
re yesterday (Wednesday) he had a similar care at
Brentwood. The jurttr inquired if It were quite safe to
view the bodies, as there were doubts whether It was or
was net iaftctiour. The Coroner answered that no one
need in the slightest degree fear contamination ; and he
might mention that no person who was properly clothed,
fed, sad cleansed need fear the cholera. In nine eases
set of ten, or indeed all the cues he had scan, the disease
had been brought on by want of food.

unknown came to the dwelling of Denisand John Cummins,
of Clonaksiany. They fired a shot at each of their doors, and
