THE CHOLER-1.

Mom thoCansatal Board of Ilealth, Nov. 2.)
THE METROPOLIS.
Returns made by the superintendents of the D,
E, li, M, P, and It Divisions to the Metropolitan
Police Commissioners enumerate 17 Cases of choler*
(eight resulting fatally) as having occurred between
37th and 31st October. In several instances death
ensued after very short illness. In a case in Ber-
mondsey the people living on the spot complain of
offensive smells from the privy and drain, and also
from Mew,. Barclay and Co.'s tanyard at the hack.
In Bermondsey-place, St. John's, it is stated that
four cases have occurred in the same house within
the last four days. The buildings are very close and
badly ventilated, there being no back yards to the
premises. The closet and dust hole for the use of
nine houses are at the end of the court, and bath
are described as smelling very offe•nsivety. The
inhabitants likewise complain of bad smell.at times

from the adjoining tauyard.
110Lnuits UNION.—Mr. Grainger has been re-
cently engaged in a re-examination of the present
state of souse of the notorious seats of fever us this
district, in which the danger of an outh: eak of cho-
lera appeared to be imminent. Ile status that the
seaVengtng is considerably improved since 16a; but
that it is at all times desirable, and in the present
critical state of the public health indispensable, that
the surface of the courts should b thorenighly swept
and cleansed daily. In Tied this-buildings, lime-
washing had been dune on one side, and it was pro-
mistd by the landlord on the other. Many of the
houses here, and especially in Charlotte's-buildings,
were iu a must depiorablo state of filth. In many
inst,.nei s the dwellings were dilapidated, and
altogether unfit for human habitation. But
among the many evils, the worst is the
state of the privies and drainage. In Tin-
dall's•baildings he examined the ground floor
of a house, the walls of which half way up were per-
mace utly damp and fmtid. In the cellar was a privy,
without an)• etlicieht drain; and the stench of it was
horrible. The rent of this wretched house was till
lately 6s. a week, but a new landlord now dem..nds
Os., although nothing has been done to improve the
place! Great numbers of the inhabitants had been
in the country fur the harvest; bat they were flock-
ing back, and, owing to the want of house accommo-
dation, they must crowd into these filthy rooms,
whether cleansed or not.
Sr. GEOIWE'S IN TILE EAST.—Three ewes of cholera
are reported to-day from this p Irish, two having
resulted fatally. Both are recorded as being of a
very bad type of the disease, and both occurred in
the same house in Grove-street, the one on the
ground floor, the other on the third storey. The
street is " unpaved in the centre, and the house
dirty."
ST. JAMES, WESTMINSTELL—Nov. 1. Cholera-1
death.

In the 13 weeks ending Oct. 29, 1848 the deaths
from cholera in the metropolis numbered 261, while
in 1853 the deaths numbered 437. In the four weeks
ending the 29th Oct. the deaths in 1848 were 174,
and iu 1833 they were 290.
AYTON (BettwicKstrutE).—Particulars of a fatal
ease of cholera, and of 14 cases of very severe
diarrhoea, have been received from Dr. It. A. Col-
ville, medical officer of this town. The greater por-
tion of the diarrhoea) cases were apparently produced
by overcrowding, particularly in the rooms at
night.

ARBROATIL—A fatal case of chok ra has cceurred in
this town, iu the person of a married woman who
had been in Dundee for some days in attendance
upon several of her friends, who had been labouring
there under the disease, and of whom no fewer than
four had died within the space of as many days.
The poor woman returned to this town on the 28th,
very much exhausted, was immediately seized with
cholera, and died the next morning. Her husband
and daugter Lave also died of cholera in the same
house. Active measures appear to have been taken
by the authorities of this town for the removal of
nuisances and otherwise providing against a visi-
tation.
