WOOLRICH.—Bins our last report on the condition of
Woolwich, six cues of cholera hsve been reported to the
police. The first three of these, though very severe, fortu-
na•ely did not prove fatal, the patients, who were ell persons
in the prime of life, having by timely araistance, passed
through the stage of collapse in safety. Oi M inday, Mr.
'bawd, a respectable and long-ettablishcd tr.rdertnan, te•
siding in Artillery-place, went to Gravesend on a pleasure
trip, and returned in comparative good health in the even-
ing. On Tuesday morning he was seized with cholera, and
though immediate medical assistance was obtained, he ex-
pired about siz o'clock in the evening, after 18 hour.' Hi-
ne s. On the same day, Mrs. Wails, the wife of the re-
lieving officer of the parish of Woolwich, was taken ill with
the same disease, end died yesterday morning, after 24
hours' illness. It is a singul.r feet that Mr. Mulford and
Mrs. Watts w.-re related by uearriege, and that the latter
had previously boat a son and daughter-In-law by the laze
terrible disease in the metropolis.
LEEDN.—There have been some new cases of cholera, hut
not many more deaths from it in this locality. Tao more
deaths occurred at Hunelet. An inquest was held yes erday
morning on John and Ann Craven, who cied of cholera,
after a lee hour.' illness, on Mouthy last. The inquiry took
place in oneequence of a rumour that the decurred ban been
neglected by their medical attendant, but the &silence com-
pletely negatived the charge. A verdict of died of Asiatic
cholera was returned. _

PLYMOVIII —Schoolmaster Sergeant Sutton and Sergeant
Shek, of the 82nd lilt., died at Devonport on Monday, at
the Military H tepital, Stoke, from ckolers. Private Green-
we) died at the hospinal next day, and six or sight from the
same regiment remain under treatment. Sume amount of
precaution has been taken by the distribution of chloride of
lime, Ac.
NA NTWICH.—It is gratifying to find that the cholera has
very much abakd. Tee number of deaths (rum ctofers for
the week ending 29th July was 35; whilst the total number
of deaths for the w,-.k endit g the 6th inst. was 13 only.
There has been a subscription entered into by the noblemen
and gentlemen of the neighbourhood, which fund is placed
at the dispos.il of the rector, for the bens fit of the poor of the
town g. liy, and for assisting the '1..61M clubs, most of
which (through the number of deaths from choir re, end the
consequent claims upon them) are in a stare of inulvency.
The conduct of the rector, the Rev. A. F. C eater, has been
most praiseimathy. He has visited every person attacked
with the disease since its flint breaking out, both by night
and day, asks ieg the sufferers both by tie purse and his
advice. A soup ki'chen hu also been opened in the town,
from which the poor daily receive a liberal supply of nutri-
tious food.—Chester Courant.
Batterox.—Tne returns yesterday were of a more cheering
charact,r, not only as regards the parishes csmprisid within
the limits of the ancient city, but also ia reference to the out
parsies added to the civic jurisdiction by the prov:sions of
the Municipal Act. In St. Phillip and Jacob (out) there
have only been 3or 4 new cases and 1 additional death. In
Bedminster there is a marked diminution of the epidemic,
not only as shown by the daily numbers of the health
committee, but ale r borne out by the return to the registrar
of deaths, and the statements of private surgeons. The state
meet of the committee ye.terslay was es f :—Cramp, 1;
cholera, 4; diarrhce I, 6; death, 0. In the eta city the scums
have been much I es frequent, and it is to be hoped that the
rigid attention which is at length being paid to many poin s
of sanitary improvement will have the effect of improving
the general health. The official etat' meat is as fellows :
August 8. Dianince t, 15; approaching to cholera. '2 ; rho.
lera, 3 ; deaths, 3. Thaw, of course, are all of them pauper
cases, but there is no reason for believing that a return of the
re-silts of private practice would more than proportionably
swell the numbers.

LoLA MosrEs.—We understand that the Countess
of Landtfeldt and Mr. Heald left town on Monday evening
for the continent.—Globe.

FANCY FAIR AT LlTERPOOL.—Yesterday com-
menced a three days philanthropic festival at Liverpool, the
object of which is to provide funds fur the three hospitals
which do honour to that town. The plan originated with
the mayor, and all clans have liberafy tec-nded his inten-
tions. Tee scene of the fancy fair is the Princes-park, and
as the day was fine, and business generally 'impended, the
park and every avenue leading to it were crowded with gay,
fashioaable, and happy visitors, many of whom were from
the country. The preceeds are expected to reach 4,0001.

ANOTHER CAPTURR OF SIIUGOLERS.—As a coast-
guardman was walking in the parieh of Titchfield on
Tuesday a tart sad bor.s with two men passed him in a
Mae. Huowirg one of the men to bee suspected smuggler,
the cwt-guard stopped toe cart, and found 36 kegs, contain-
ing 113 gallons of brandy, 45.0 over proof. After consider-
able resistance, the two men were made prisoners and con-
veyed with the cart and its contents to Portsmouth custom-
house. This morning one of the onset guard at Langston
harbour, with the aviation" of a telescope, observed a large
pleasute brat boleti g in tube, and cha-e was immediately
given. and in such a clever fashion that the mum boat
was alongside before the smugglers were aware of their
coming. Fifteen tubs, erntainin; 46 gallons of brandy,
were found and captured. The crew, consisting of a man
end
his son (Alymen) were made prisoner*, and with their boat
conveyed to the custom-house, Portsmouth. The Royal
Charter steam-vessel, captured inane time since, and released
upon a bond, of 5001, has bad the Amid cancelled. The
Ariel, yacht, captured s ion after, is detained as a seizure by
the custoraa.
