From representationsmade to the Mansion-house committee
yesterday by various local authorities in infected districts,
it would appear that generally speaking, with an exception
here and there, the epidemic continues to subside, that
there are fewer deaths in proportion to the attacks, but
that with leas mortality there are more cases of diarrhea.
Still the local committees concur in stating, from personal
experience and observation, that there is a vast amount of
distress consequent upon the visitation, which isaggravated
by the want of work in the shipbuilding trades along the
Thames, especially at Poplar and MiUwall, and that the
fund raised by the Mansion-house Committee is most op-
portune, even though confined in its application to the
relief of those suffering from cholera. rp to last evening the
committee had voted in all, since the commencement of
the fund, upwards of 5,0001. towards the relief of the dis-
tress, of which 5231. was granted yesterday, and 42
al . the
day before, which has been, and is being, expended in all
cases through the agency of local committees. On Thurs-
day the Lord Mayor paid a visit to an auxiliary hospital
for cholera patients and convalescents which had been on
foot within the last few days in Commercial-street, White-
chapel, at the expense chiefly and under the auspices of a
committee of gentlemen, of whom Mr. E. H. Palmer, a
director of the Beals of England, is at the head. A. large
unoccupied warehouse of three stories, and nearly new, has
been adapted for the purpose. The matron and nurses
are all Sisters of Mercy, to whom ministering to the sick
and poor is a labour of love. The Lord Mayor went alone,
and in a strictly private way, and though the hospital had
only been improvised within the last woek, he found it
it good working order. In all cases the Mansion-house
Committee require from the local authorities to whom
they make grants strict accounts as to how the money
is expended, not wishing at the same time to tie their
hands in the distribution, which the leave to their discre-
tion and judgment. The fund colup to last even-
ing amounted to about 15,0001.
From a return made to the Bethnal-green vestry, by
Dr. Sarvis, the medical officer of health, it appears that
the total number of applications at the dispensaries estab-
lished in the district of Bethnal-green during the outbreak
of the epidemic is 14,000. Rather lies than 300 of these
cases were cases of cholera ; the deaths have been 72.
The vestry have secured 24 beds at the new hospital under
the care of the Sisters of Mercy, in Con.inercial-street, Spited
fields, and six beds at an establishment at the Green, at the
other end of the pariah. Of the 24 beds at the Commercial-
street establishment only six are at present occupied. A
house bas been appropriated at the Green for the reception
of the children whom it is desirable to remove from in-
fected homes. No new cases of cholera had been admitted
at Bethnal-green Workhouse during the week ending on
Tuesday last. On the previous Tuesday 24 cholera cases
were in the wards. Of these, two died, three were dis-
charged cured, 12 convalescents remain in the house, and
seven are under treatment.
Last night's Ga:ette states that the Bight Honourable the
Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade have
received, from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires
at Lisbon, announcing the following regulations of the
Lisbon Board of Health :—By decree of the 23rd ultimo
Southampton, Liverpool, and Llanelli were declared to be
ports infected with cholera, since the 14th of July ; and
the English ports in the English and Irish Channels to be
only suspected ports from that date. By decree of the
27th of July last all the ports in England and Ireland
were declared to be suspected ports, with the exception of
the three above mentioned, viz., Liverpool, Southampton,
and Llanelli, which still continued to be infected. By
decree dated the 3rd of August, the Board of Health de-
clare that the ports in Scotland are not included in the
number of those declared to be suspected of cholera by
the above-mentioned decree of the 27th of July ; and by
decree of the 6th of August no quarantines, whether they
be classed as rigorous or precautionary, imposed upon
vessels arriving from any ports, either infected with or
suspected of cholera, shall be accepted as such, unless they
are undergone at the port of Lisbon.
Cholera still lingers about Sunderland and Hartlepool.
At both places deaths in consequence occurred on Thurs-
day.
