19, (srhurton•strcet, Fitzroy-quAre. Sts families
reside is the house, which is dirty and dilapidated.
The hack yard is in a very offensive condition. 'There
is a filthy open privy in the front cellar; the soil is
on a level with the floor.

In the front area is the water butt, without any
coveriag or lid. The water is so impure that the
inmates of the house have repeatedly complained to
the lasdlord, but nothing has been done. The week
before Isst the putrid carcsse of a cut was found
within the butt.
The deceased attributed his illness to the horrible
elfluvit from this privy, 1%11'6 r mains uncorrected.
A child has had a severe attack of choleraic diarrhea
in the house.
Many of the localities in this parish, Marylebone,
arc described to be in a mo.t unwholesome and dan-
gerous condition.
Mr. Hall, of the Poor Law Board, and Dr. Mil-
roy, from the General Board of Health, have had
interviews within the last few days with the Boards
of Guindians of the parishes of Camberwell, Hack-
ney, and Bethnal green, to confer on the measure,
5m...-I...ary to be adopted for the protection of the
public health.
NEWCASTLE.

.1 table drawn up by the Board exhibits in a strik-
ing manner the impresrion made upon toe disease by
the house-to-house visitation. Takiog three periods,
the first from the 21st to the 23th of Sept. (3 days),
the second from the 26th to the 30th (5 days), and
the third from Oct. Ist to the Sib (8 days), it appears
that while diarrhoea continued to prevail extensively,
and the cases approaching cholera remained nume-
rous, the eases ol cholera were reduced from 67 in the
first period to 28 in the sccond, and to 6 in the third.
In the first period the daily accragcs of the different
cleaner of cases were :—Diarrhcca, 601.0; approach-
ing cholera, 73.2 ; cholera, 67.8 ; deaths from cholera,
61; train diarrhoea, 2.4. Second period : —Cases of
diarrhoea, 329; approaching cholera, 34.6; cholera,
28.1; deaths from cholera, 32.8; from diarrhoea, 3.
Third period :—Cases of diarrhcca, 297.3 ; approach-
ing cholera, 19.9; cholera, 6.73 ; deaths from cholera,
9; diarrhoea, 1.6.

of the total number who have perished by the
epidemic in this town, it appears that little more than
one-seventh were under 13 years of age, while one-
fourteenth were above 00 years of age. Up to this
time it would appear from the returns that about
1,000 able-bodied persona have been destroyed.
The average age of all whose ages have been re-
turned up to this time is 331 years.

From the Bth to the 10th of tictober, there have
occurred 20 new eases of cholera. Of theme 18 were
German emigrants (chiefly passengers by the Isaac
Wright), 2 Irish emigrants, 2 inmates of the work-
house, and 4 residents of the town. Twelve deaths
have taken place, viz. 7 German, and 1 Irish emi-
grant; 1 inmate of the workhouse, and 3 residents of
the town (all in the same street). Three of the Ger-
man patients were from an emigrant ship, the Emma
Field, now lying in the river with between 400 and
400 passengers aboard. No other came of sickness
has been discovered among them, but they are care-
fully watched.

On the 10th irr. accompanied by
the poor law iaspector, visited Darlington and met
the guardians, who, on the suggestion of these
officers, ordered forthwith • house to-house visitation,
with a view of ascertaining the amount of diarrhcoa
prevailing in the town, and whether any and what
additional preventive measures may be required.

MIDDLESBOROLGH.
The result of one day's house to house visitation
in this place, made by the resident medical men, was
the discovery of 78 diarrhceal cases, to nip which in
the bud, and thus to prevent, if possible, any out-
bleak of cholera, it has been determined to appoint
two house to house visitors to devote themselves
entirely to the work of visitation.

STOCKI ON.
By the vigorous mca3ures employed a decided
impreaMos has been made on the disease in this
place. The virulent epidemic form which it was
rapidly assuming has been stopped.

To. Saawax's HOSPITAL.—The committee of this in.
siltation have just issued a notice to captains of ship. and
seamen generally, enjoining them to send every seaman, on
the ant symptom of diarrhaei, on board the hospital ship
lying near the Dreadnought, off Oreenwieh, which is to be
kept even at all boars br the purpose, and not to detain
men on board until the premonitory symptoms hays
passed.
INQUEST. _ _

Yesterday Mr. Wm Carter, the coroner for East Slimy,
held an inquest at the Hourglass Tavern, Walworth-eone-
mos, on the body of Edgar Hill, aged three ran, whom
parents resided at No. 1, Cole-street North, Dover-road.
From the evidence it appeared that the father of the child
was on the eve of departing to Gravesend an order to take a
ship for America. The mother, therefore, proceeded to
Gravesend to bid farewell to her husband, prior to his de-
parture. Bhe left the deceased with three other children,
and on her return cia Monday she found that the child was
dead. A past user ens *gemination subsequently made left
no doubt bat that the child had died from Asiatic chaere.
The same day the pilot of the ship in which the father
was about to proceed to America called and informed the
wife that her husband was also dead, from it was supposed
an attack of cholera; and three of the other children were
likewise attacked with the sante disease. The jury, without
lesitatim, returned a verdict of "Natural death from
Asiatic cholera." Daring the investigation, it turned out
that the child had boss removed to an undertaker's of the
saute of Himesey, is King-street, Borough ; and on Cooke,
the sun • user, going ademand the body, he found
the man and bie wife in • speechless state of drunkenness.
He &mended the body, kat it was yawed; he therefore
went and peneured the coroner's warrant, but even then the
undertaker refused to deliver up the mew, and it wee
foetid necessary to call ba the aid of the police to get the
body removed. The leaned coroner severely reprimanded
Sweeney for hie disgreseelul conduct.
