THE CHOLERA.—Several fatal cases of cholera
and diarrhu,a are reported in the eastern part of London
in the course of the last three days. The Board of Works
of the Limehouse district have issued large posters pointing
out the remedies for cholera and dysentery, recommending
the utmost cleanliness and the use of disinfecting fluids,
and many general directions for the avoidance of the
scourge, and what to avoid in eating and drinking. The
West Ham board in Essex, and for many parts of " London
and the border" including Plaistow and the Victoria-docks,
met yesterday evening to concert measures to stay the
ravages of the cholera. On Wednesday Mr. Raddßey,
registrar of one district of Mile-end Old Town, recorded six
deaths from that disease in his books. The cases have
been numerous in the Stepney union, which consists of the
parishes of St. Anne, Limehouse, St. Paul, fihadwell, St.
John, Wapping, and the hamlet of Ratcliffe. Many have
died after a few days' illness. On Wednesday chola%
in its worst form visited the house of Mr. Joseph Clayton,
of No. 15, Eastfield-street, Limehouse, about 150
yards from the back of Old Manor-road. In
a few hours three of Mr. Clayton's children
died. Their ages were 19 months, 5 years, and 11 years.
Yesterday Mrs. Clayton and another of her children were
attacked, audit was feared there was no probability of their
recovery.—Up to to three o'clock yesterday the total num-
ber of cases admitted to the cholera wards of the Liverpool
workhouse was 33, of which 18 have proved fatal. Water-
day two new cases, both adults, were admitted from the
town, and there were also two deaths yesterday, one that
of a man who died a few hours after admission, and the
other that of a boy who had been attacked in the medical
nursery department of the workhouse. At the meeting of
the Liverpool Health Committee yesterday, Dr. French
(the medical officer to the corporation) recommended the
employment of additional men in the scavenging depart-
ment, to be supplied with barrows for the removal of all
filth from districts where the cholera prevails ors likely
to prevail, and the sprinkling of houses in inch districts
with carbonic acid, the virtues of which as a disinfec-
tant had (he said) been fully tested during the
rinderpest. The recommendation was adopted.—
The Queen of the Colonies was towed yesterday afternoon
from Gravesend Reach to the Lower Hope, hiving Asiatic
cholera on board. On Tuesday morning, the customs
authorities at Sunderland received information that the
barque Emandor had arrived from Stettin with sickness on
board, and it was subsequently ascertained that the
captain of the vessel was suffenng from cholera. The
patient was removed to the hospital, and the ship
thoroughly disinfected.—A cm, of the very worst
type of Asiatic cholera has occurred and terminated
named ll in Newcastle. The unfortunate sufferer is man
Thomas Parrott, forty-five years of age, mate of
the Otter steamer, trading between Antwerp and that
port. He arrived on Monday morning from Antwerp, and
went home to his residence in Gibson-street; where
he retired to bed in his usual stare of health. During
the night he was seized with illness, and died about
noon on Tuesday. Several medical gentlemen who
visited the corpse were unanimous in pronouncing it to
be a cane of the very worst type of Asiatic cholera.
The cholera is increasing its ravages in Llanelly and the
neighbourhood. Eight persons died at Llanelly on Sun-
day, one at a village named Llanon, about six miles
inland, and one at Pembrey (a seaport town about four
miles westward of Llanelly). At Llanelly, on Monday.
four deaths are recorded, making thirty deaths in seven
days. The local board of health are doing now all in their
power to arrest the plague, but with at present limited
success.

WORKHOUSE lerremestes.—Yesterday at the
meeting of the Marylebone vestry, Kr. Churchwarden
Kynaston in the chair, Mr. Tavener drew the attention
of the board to a rather important error in Mr. Parnell's
official report on workhouse infirmaries. It stated that in
No. 6• Ward of the Marylebone Workhouse there were
only 206 cubic feet of air to each patient, and 18 feet space
to each bed, whereas the fact was there ware 456 cubic'
feet of air to each patient, and 36 feet epees to each bed ;
in one case double, and in the other cam more than double
what was stated. The board of guardians, fee that
they were misrepresented, wrote to the Poor-law
but had not received any answer.
