THE CHOLERA.

A notification from the Board of Health appears
announcing the re-appearance tat the
distant plum in England, Wake,
ichaalssrat night's
ihnetaGrioseoustfaada,
and flutland."
From returns which aceompany this notification it appears
ISM arm the Lauer mod of Ruch, ch,lera his broken out in
elifikunt localities fa the metropolis, in 27 towns in Rag-
BEd sad Wales, and an 17 towns in Scotland ; and that in
several of these plume, as in Sunderland, Liverpol, Dur-
ham. Ritchie, Gloucester, Bambara, Bath, Merthyr Tyd-
wit, Cardiff, Kilivirnie, Oalsabiels, Kelso, and Dundw, the
disease has continued to spread.
Another tact is declared by these returns of great algaifi•
caner, which calls fur the .nest attention of the local au-
thorkieschergad with thee:tendon of the Nuisances Removal
and Diseases Prevention Act; namely, that the attacks
within the last twelve days have exceeded those which hare
oesurred daring the preasdieg two months.
Thus in the two months from the 29th of March to the
29th ot May both inclusive, the total number of mires is 418 ;
but within the last twelve days, that is, from the 30th of May
to the 11th of June, bath inclusive, there have been uo lass than
673 cases, and at the same time the disease has manifested a
decided tendency to epreak epidemically, as is shown in the
numbers attacked on board the American emigrant ship at
Plymouth, and is the intent to which the disease has pre-
vailed in Glover Hall-court, Beech street, Barbican, in the
city, and also in Bermondsey.
The total number of deaths, up to the time of the renewal
of the order in council, ware 6,319 out of 14,332 attacks, or
in the proportion of three deaths to seven attacks ; whereas,
the returns now made give 838 deaths, out 01 1,203 attacks ;
or a proportion of more than one hali—a proportion exhibit-
ing the severity that usually masks the oumniencemeat of a
general outbreak.
Under circumstances which thus afford ground fur appre-
hension that another visitation of the scourge may be im-
pendmg, the Oen.-ral Board of Health deem it highly satis-
factory to be enabled to report the uniform success winch Yu
follow« d prompt and continued attention to the premonitory
symptoms which generally precede an attack of this disease.

FESTIVAL 07 THE SCOTTISH SOCIETY. This
society, whose " house-warming " was duly recorded in our
Dolmas some weeks ago, is making great preparations fir
its field-day in Holland-house-park, on the 20th of this
month. Competitors for the prizes in its athletic games are
expected from all parts of Scotland, and the presence cf
guests of the highest rank is confidently anicipated. The
committee of management have invited as many of the
national guard of France as may be in London on the 20th
and 21st, to honour the games with their presence, sod the
toast in which this fact is adverted to in the National and
the Prase shows that the compliment has teen kindly
taken.
SOUTH LONDON FLORICCATIIItAL SOClETT.—Yea-
terday a "miscellaneous flower show" was exhibited by this
society at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. The exhibition was
upon a small scale, but the Amen were of the highest order
of cultivation, and there were many specimens well worthy
of being classed amongst those displayed in the Chiswick
Gardens on Saturday. The heaths end peltagoniums were
greatly admired, and the crehideous pta is were also rionspi-
eosin, both for elegance of form and beauty of colour.
Amongst the Cape heaths was a magnificent specimen called
the "Brig Cavendishians," grown by the Meson. Fair-
bairns, at Clapham. This flower war one of the most beau-
tiful productions la the exhibition, and it would be difficult
to conceive the paribdity of cultivating the heath to greater
perfection. The floricultural display was, on the whole, of
a very satisfactory character, and numerous prises were
awarded to the most successful exhibitors. The gateau
were very wall attended, and the combination of wild beasts,
flowers, instrumental music, and the " Storming of Baku."
must have been quite sufficient to satisfy the most greedy
of the visitors.
