THE CHOLERA.

NEWCASTLE.—Return for Sept. 14 : Deaths, 58,
Total number of deaths from Aug. 31 to Sept. 14, 211.
GATESHEAD.—Deatbs, 83.
Extra medical assistance has been procured, and
the house to house visitation detects an enormous

amount of diarrhcea. In almost all cases premoni-
tory diarrhoea has existed. There is great d►fficulty
in enforcing early attention to it, although great
numbers of hand-bills have been circulated pointing
out the danger of neglecting any looseness of bowels.
The local authorities are active in co-operating with
each other.

A LUTE!. FROM STOCKEOLII of the 7th states that
the cholera there was on the decline. On the 6th,
there were 146 cases and 94 deaths ; on the 7th, only
126 cases and 92 deaths. At Copenhagen, on the
10th, there were only three new cases, and no death.
The communisations between that city and Nlalmoe,
so long interrupted in consequence of the cholera,
were resumed ea the 9th.

CHRISTIANIA., SEPT. 3.—Prom July 25 to Sept. 4 :
Attacked, 741 ; deaths, 473.

DRkTH OF MR. BRADSHAW.

CHRUPPIA-YIL, SEPT. 10,1853.

About 800 penman have been swept off by cholera.
cad still upwards of sixty a day bite the dust. Only one
linglishman yet—Mr. Bradshaw, the veritable Bradshaw,
who had come owe to collect data for his new Continental
Guide, bad only been in the toms three days; he was
hoe aver, nervous, and had been iteeseantly taking preven-
tives. From apparent perfect health, six house illness
eau sufficient %emitter him before his Maker.

NEWCASTII-UPON-TINE, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
To-day the board of guardians have issued large post-
111g-bills warning the public against alarm, on the ground
t'sat the incipient stages of cholera may by prompt attention
be checked, and the further progress of the disease emitted ;
also warning alpinist the use of raw fruit and green vege-
tables generally,, and against the too free use of intoxicating
drinks. The bill also contains a list of eighteen druggists'
shops where, besides the infirmary and dispensary, the poor
are informed they may apply for medicine at all hours of
the day or night, and obtain them free of charge without
any letters of recommendation or order from a medical
officer. ConsAerable panic yet exists, and not without rea-
son. There were 87 new cases yesterday and 37 deaths,
making a total of 257 cases and 113 death. since the cholera
broke out. But this is altogether exclusive of the cases
of private medical practice, of which up to last night
returns had not been made. They are believed to be very
numerous. In one burial place, namely, Ballast-hills,
were 25 interments yesterday, and 20 more were ordered
for today. The cemeteries of 'Westgate and Jeswond,
especially the former. have had a proportionate number.
The mourning coaches and hearses are never off the streets,
and the melancholy spectacle of the palled coffin, minus the
customary procession of mourners, has become an every-
day occurrence.
The Town Council met this day, the Mayor presiding.
Mr. Grainger, the inspector of the Board of Health, stated
his views to the meeting with great freedom and force as to
the necessity of immediately carrying into effect the
provisions of the Common Lodging House Act, for which
he made out a case of crying. necessity, from his
recent inspection of the rooms in Sandgate. His re-
marks told well upon the meeting, and with
remarkable and praiseworthy unanimity, they at
once voted 5001., and appointed a committee to regulate
the disposal of the money. A resolution was also adopted
for using the powers of the act, and regulating the number
of persons in each lodging-house, and closing any rooms
which may be deemed unfit for human babitatton. It was
remarked by Mr. Grainger, that Gateshead exhibited a
perfect contrast to Newcastle with regard to the lodging-
houses. There they had been registered and properly at-
tended to, and the result was that only one ease of cholera
had occurred in their lodging-rooms, and that was a man
who had been absent a week at Newcastle, and bad, in fact,
naught the disease before his return to Gateshead. The
retolution of the council, it appears, cannot be of legal
force without the consent of the Secretary of State, and it
was agreed that a telegraphic communication should be sent
• to him immediately.
MANCHESTER, Ssrr.ls.—No case of cholera has
1, yet come under the notice of the authorities of Manchester,
' but the intelligence of the disease having reached New-
' castle, Liverpool, and London, has had its due weight, and
the Board of Guardians yesterday nominated a sanitary
committee for the purpose of inspecting the dwellings of
r the poor and adopting the precautionary measures usual
t on such occasions.

DARLINGTON, SEPT. 14. —The local Board of
Health here is on the alert, owing to the cholera having made
its appearance in the neighbouring town of Newcastle. The
town has been divided into districts, and, with the officers
of health and the inspectors of nuisances, the members of
the board have made a personal inspection of all the alleys
and courts. They found an abundance of nuisances likely
to be prejudicial to health and to aid in developing any
epidemic disease : pigsties in close and confined places,
surcharged asbpita and dunghills, with, in some places, pigs
sporting about amongst the garbage and refuse in the dung-
hills. Prompt orders were given for the abatement of al
the nuisances ; the drains and sewers were well flushed on
Saturday night by means of the mains of the Water Com-
pany, and they are to be again cleansed at the end of the
week. A supply of whitewash, brushes, and chloride of
lime has been obtained for the use of the poor, and a man
has been appointed specially to go about de use in diem to
see that the orders of the board are strictly carried out.
Tl.e board met on Saturday morning aad again this
morning. The following handbill has been issued:—" The
Local Board of Health esawstly request the inhabitants of
Darlington to pay :he strictest attention, at this particular
season, to the following instructions, so as to assist the board
in carrying out the necessary sanitary:regulations, whereby
any prevailing epidemic influence may in a great degree be
mitigated, if not entirely counteracted : —l. The daily
cleansing of all courts, yards, alleys, gutters, and drains ;
and tho prompt removal of all filth and garbage therefrom.
2. That the contents of ashpits, dunghills, and pigstyes
bo removed between the hours of twelve at night aad six
in the morning; and that during the process chloride of
lime be freely used, in order to prevent the escape of nox-
ious effluvia. 3. That all persons effectually cleanse and
whitewash the interior of their dwellings, where requisite;
and the external walls in crowded courts and yards."

SIR HARRY Smut's CLOAR.—This gallant war-
rior has in his possession a remarkable cloak, so large, we
hear, that when worn it protects the horse as will as him-
self. It served all through the Indian campaign, and is
fairly riddled with shot; so that it is at all times regarded
with much curiosity. When Sir Harry met the 50th
Regiment, after their arrival from the East, tho soldiers
recognised the martial cloak that was on his shoulders, and
they bore testimony to the great service it had rendered in
the vicissitudes of war.—Plymoutli
