Win HAlL.—Daring the past week accounts have
reached to of several deaths by that fearful malady, and in
more than one or two instances persons have been attacked
with the disease, and expired within the course of ten or
twelve hours. It appears to have proved more fatal with
preens of apparently the most robust constitutions, and

It would, therefore, seem that the humidity of the atmos-
phere has something to do with the creation of the disease,
and that parsons should avoid situations where they have to

Bairrot.—The returns of the Health Committee of St.
Peter's Hospital for the districts of the ancient city have
been for the last two days as follows:—August 16--diarrhcca,
14; approaching choler', 11 ; cholera, 21 ; deaths, 10.
August 17 cea,l4 ; approaching cholera, 12 ; cholera,
14; deaths, 6. Tnere are no returns from the oat-districts
of St. Phillip and Jacob and Bedminster.
LLWCASTER.—The disease is spreading, in spite of strict
sanitary regulations and the combined skill and vigilance of
the local faculty. Up to Thursday evening the number of
deaths in the six days, beginning with Saturday and termi-
nating with Thursday, has been six ; the total number mince
the epidemic broke cut, 16 ; or nearly equal to Manchester.
The easel of diarrhea for the week are returned as 66.
WlGAN.—Hindley, a small township in the Wigan union,
and about three miles hence, has been visited with the
cholera to an extent which perhaps exceeds the average
rue of mortality in any other place in Lancashire. The
first cue occurred on the 20th ult., when a man named
James Prints, who bad been suffering from diarrhea for
three or four days, died of Asiatic or malignant cholera.
Since that time, it is estimated that there have been up-
wards of 80 attacks, and 34 have died, others, at the time
of writing, being in a hopeless condition. The population
of Hindley is about 6,000, and the town in many parts is in
a very bad sanitary condition.
Cneerse..—The total number of cues reported up to
to day is 14, of which 3 have proved fetal, and 11 are yet
under treatment.

La PLATA.—By the Commodore, at Liverpool,
date% have been seceived from Buenos Ayres to the I Ith
Jane,. but these advice' have been mostly anticipated oia
the United States.
FIRE ON TIMBRE Mopes.—On Tuesd►y a fire
broke out in owe of the haystacks on the premise, of Charles
Riamington, of Thorne Moon, while one of his men was
thatching. So sudden was the confl,gration, that the man
had scarcely time to save either himself or the tools which he
wss using. It is supposed that a spark from the chimney
caught the stack, and thus ignited it. The Thorne fire-
eneine was immediately sent In, but when it arrivel it
would not work, from the very bad sta•e of repair which it
was In, not having been used for several years. The flames,
therefore, progressed very rapidly, notwithstanding every
effort made by the bystanders to suppress them, and even-
tually consumed the whole of the bay, consisting of about 20
tons, as wall as some out•baildings of wood and thatch.—
