THR CHOLERA.

(Froth the General Hoard of Health. Nov. 9.)
METROPOLIS.

The returns from the 11, K, L, M, and V divisions
of the metropolitan police show eleven cakes and four
deaths.

Hitherto the progress of cholera has, as in 1848,
been peculiarly marked iu the districts on the south
side of the Thames. The deaths from cholera ge-
nerally in the metropolis since August 6 have been
359, and of these 301 have occurred in the low lying
districts south of the river. The principal parishes,
or rather parts of parishes, that have as yet suffered
are St. George the Martyr, Southwark; St. Saviour's,
Bermondsey ; St. Glare and St. Mary, Newington.
The total deaths in these parishes have already
amounted to 16;. It would seem that the direase
has localised itself in a district of about a mile in
I diameter, of which the Church of St. George the
Martyr may be considered as the centre. In the
'outlying portions of these parishes the attacks have
as yet been comparatively kw. The deaths in this
district appear to be progressing, though not rapidly
ion the increase.

The li.aowing particulars have been ascertained
respecting the death so lung undiscovered in Gee's-
court, Maulebone. An inquest was held, and a ver-
dict returned, "Died of spasmodic cholera." It
appears that the deceased, an old man, had been dead
nearly one mouth; and the corpse was found in a
small back room on the first floor. Mr. Joseph,
surgeon, of Great Marylebone•street, states that when
he entered the room nothing could equal its feetor.
The body having been removed to the workhouse, a
post plosion examiustion was made, and from the
appearances it presented it was considered to have
been a case of cholera. It appears further that ilia
persons actually ate, drank, and slept in the froLt
room on the same floor, within a few feet of the

corpse.
Diarrhce.i is on the increase in some of the districts
of the parish. A futal case of fever supervening on
an attack of cholera occurred on the 7th inst.
DUNDEE.

Nov. S.—Cholera. Deehs, 3.—The system of
preventive measures now in operation in this town is
represented as tolerably complete. Besides the house-
to•bouse visitation which is in action, arrangements
aro matured which will render dispensary aid by
night as well as by day more accessible to the mass
of the people, and by a large distribution of hard-
bills those arrangements will be made very generally
known in the houses of the people.
The House of Refuge is in so forward a state that
it is hoped it will be opea for the reception of persons
in another day. This would appear to be a most im-
portant measure, as there exists great necessity for
such a place of accommodation while cleansing works
are in progress.
With reference to the visiting staff, Dr. Gavin
states :—" In order better to bring home, under the
circumstances, aid to the people, 1 proposed to-night
to the chairman of the parochial boards that two
additional visitors should be appointed to districts
Nos.l and 2. I should have proposed that the visi-
tors in No. 2 district should have been transferred
from their district, where no cholera cases were yes-
terday reported, to the districts No. 1 and 2; but
the medical officer felt alarmed at the prospect of
being left wituunt visitation, in consequence of the
disease, in his opinion, beginning to manifest itself
on the outskirts of his district.
" It is intended further to obtain to-morrow the aid
of four missionaries, to act as lay visitors in aid of
the medical visitors. The staff of visitors will thus
be increased from 6 to 12, 4 being lay visitors.
Should this staff be insufficient to bring under con-
trol the sudden cases of cholera, it will be my endea-
vour to increase the staff to meet the emergency.
One additional medical officer has been to-night
appointed to Dr. Duncan's district.
" I must again remark that the state of the public
privies is such as to place in the greatest danger
those persons labouring under premonitory disease
who may be unfortunate enough to use
them. So bad is their condition that my at-
tention has been urgently directed to a new arrange-
ment, by which moveable wooden privies, with
boxes in duplicate, to be frequently removed, may be
substituted for the present horrible arrangements.
Dundee, as in every place I have officially visited,
Newmatle, Gateshead, Walker, Howden, Felling,
Houghton, Blyth, Cowpen, Chester-le-street, Hex-
ham, &e., the greatest want is the want of dwellings.
It is difficult to believe the extent to which this want
prevails in all quarters, while every branch of remu-
nerative industry seems to be most assiduously pur-
sued, the building of houses for the increased popula-
tion, brought together by the various industrial pur-
suits, has been almost, and in many instances entirely,
overlooked. . _

" Dundee forms a striking example of this, while
the houses of the gentry have increased the increased
working population have been crammed into nearly
the same number of old and badly constructed
houses as existed before the increase of the popula-
tion. As a rule, these houses may be said to be un-
drained, destitute of any privy accommodation,
except that public sort I have described—without
places for the reception of domestic refuse—with un-
paved yards, or bouldered pavements in the entries,
bends, pends, and closes, and with the surfaces of
these yards, and of the pathways, loaded with the
refuse of life, which is frequently moved to and fro
by public traffic, but rarely moved away by the
scavenger."
ARIMUATH.—There have been three new cases
and one death from cholera since the last report.
The death occurred within eight hours from seizure.
The local board being fully alive to the importance
of a house-to-house visitation, to discover and pre-
scribe for cases of diarrhoaa, which are of frequent
occurrence at this time, have commenced this work
through the agency of advanced medical students,
appointed for the purpose, in addition to the regular
medical staff employed by the board. There is a
great nuisance here, caused by the millowners send-
ing the refuse from the water•closets of their works
into the River Brothocla, which runs through the
town. The board have served intimations upon all
the millowners requiring the discontinuance of this
nuisance, and are to follow forth proceedings against
ell who do not yield obedience to the order.
Istxtuit.—There has been an outbreak of the
epidemic in this largo village. Dr. Waller Lewis,
who, on hearing of the occurrence, at once proceeded
there, states that " It is in the most deplorable con-
dition ; great numbers of the people live in large
hollows in the ground, from which, many years ago,
building stole has been extracted. In one pit there
are nearly 500 people, in a state of great deprivation,
and dirty in the extreme. In the first house I en-
tered one corpse had just been placed in a coffin,
another poor child was nearly ready for his last narrow
resting-place, and a third had a fair chance of reco-
very. Six deaths had already occurred, and the
medical officer had between 30 and 40 severe cases
on his hands. The number of inhabitants is between
2,000 and 3,000. There is but little medicine, and
not one druggist's shop, in the village, which is five
or six miles from the nearest town. Few private
houses are provided with privies, and there are but
fear public necessaries, which have not been cleaned
out fur nearly two years.
SottAx.—Deatha from the epidemic—To Nov. 7,
32; Nov. 8, 3 ; total, 33. One of the deaths that
has occurred to-day is that of a member of a family
of eleven persons, nine of whom have been attacked.
The district medical officer reports that one young
man who was seen yesterday with premonitory
symptoms refused to take any medicine ; to-day ho is
dangerously ill. Notwithstanding all the exertions
used to procure a strong scavenging staff, to remove
the large accumulations of refuse and filth, only two
men have been set to work as yet. At this rate
years would be required to put the place in a proper
sanitary condition.
