The judicious measures taken to restore public
confidence in the Dublin savings bank were not with-
out effect, the sum drawn last night, the first for
receiving payments upon notice since the panic com-
menced, being less by several thousands than the
amount for which notices had been lodged. The
managers bad made such satisfactory arrangements,
and the payments were made with such promptitude,
that the business was concluded for the evening fully
half an hour before the usual time. The notices for
the next night are muck smaller in amount ; and the
publication of the following letter which the trus-
tees have received from the National Debt-office will
no doubt have the effect of greatly diminishing the
number of those who will come to look for their
deposits:
National Debt Office, Nov. 28,18,53.

The sound of alarm about cholera once more
reaches us from Cork. The Cork Examiner received
this morning says:
That cholera is now once more amongst us there cannot
be the slightest doubt. It has appeared in the north, south,
and middle districts of the city. In each instance it has
attacked persons of the humbler clam, those who are the
least able to resit its attack. And what renders this fact of
greater importance is, that the places in which fatal cases
have occurred are amongst those which are the most popu-
lous, and that the dwellings of the parties attacked are cot
only densely crowded but generally filthy in the extreme.
To give an idea of the absolute necessity for the prompt
removal of patients of a poor class, we may mention that
respectable physicians informed us that the miserable rooms
in which two afflicted persass lay were literally crowded by
people of both sexes, attracted either by sympathy or
curiosity. At any rate, there were from 12 to 20 persons in
each filthy apartment breathing its infected air, and wit-
nessing the depressing vectscle of intense suffering, the re-
sult of a mysterious and terrible diem,.
The poor rate collector proceeded a few days ago
from Galway to collect arrears of rates in some of the
wildest and most remote districts of the Law Life
Assurance Company's territory in Connemara, and
was accompanied by a strong police force to support
his demands. As the peasantry were under some false
impression that they were not bound to pas- these
arrears, a formidable resistance was apprehended,
and a collision with the police deemed very probable.
The parish priest, however, interfered, and held a
parley with the collector, the result of which was
very satisfactory, and the collection proceeded with-
out any unpleasant interruption.
