Mon w Board c 4 Health, Oct. 10.)
LONDON.
The attention of the General Board of Health
having been called by the coroner to an inquest just
held by him relative to certain deaths from cholera
in York-row, Pearson•street, Shoreditch, an inspector
of the board was directed to examine into the state
of the house and locality in which these deaths oc-
curred. From the inspector's report, it appears that
five deaths took place in one house in York-row, and
two attacks in two other houses in the same row,
which did not prove fatal; that in this entire dis-
trict there is a total want of proper drainage ; and
that in the particular instance in which these cho-
lera cases occurred there were privies built up against
the backs of the houses. In the house in which the
deaths occurred on which the inquest was held the
cesspool was fall up to the floor, and in the adjoining
house there was foul liquid matter to the depth of
nine inches immediately under the floor boards.

MIDDLESBOROUGH.
Dr. Lewis inspected this seaport on Thursday, and
found an unusually large proportion of the dwellings
in a state unfit for human habitations. Great num-
bers of sailors are here crowded together in low
and common lodging-houses. -

WEST HARTLEPOOL.
On the inspection of this town it was found to be
in no better condition than the former. What sewers
there are are described u being nearly all choked
up, making the house drains worse than useless; in-
deed they are little better than narrow cesspools.
Great part of the property belongs to the Dock
Company.

HARTLEPOOL.
At Old Hartlepool much improvement appears to
have been effected since the town came under the
Public Health Act, and the local Board of Health
and the Cholera Committee are stated to have been
active in removing nuisances, whitewashing, &c.

STOCKTON-ON-TEES.
Deaths from cholera from September 24 to
October 9
The sanitary condition of this town is represented
by Dr. Waller Lewis as just u bad in several parti-
culars u Newcastle. As an example of the state of
parts of the town, he describes one yard com-
mon to five houses, in which four deaths have
taken place within the last three days. In an
opposite street, within fifty yards of this place, there
are now lying three corpses. The yard in question,
which is only 10 feet square, is paved with bricks,
nearly all broken, with great depressions in the
centre, where there is a grate of a choked up sewer
overflowing with black bubbling semifluid filth.

HAMBURG.
By an official report received from Dr. Oernett,
officer of health, it appears that the cholera has sub-
sided in Hamburg, no new attack having occurred in
the three days preceding the report, which is dated
Oct. 4. The total came for the city and territory
amount t0:531, the deaths to 277, or 52 per cent., and
remaining under treatment 60.
