TURIN, June 23.—An ordinary despatch from
General La Marmora, dated head-quarters, Kadi-
koi, June 11, reports the number of cases of
cholera from the 13th of May to the Bth inst. to
have been 869, of which 383 had been fatal, 37
been cured, and 449 remained in hospital.
This despatch contains some details of the death
of the General's brother, from which it appears that
he was attacked with cholera on the morning of
the faith in the camp at Kamara, from whence he
was transported to head-quarters, where, notwith-
standing the most diligent care, he succumbed
after a struggle of 48 hours, at half-past 1 on the
morning of the 7th. From the nature of the dis-
ease his remains were buried the same day, on the
field of the Battle of Balaklava. On tins occasion
the Sardinian Commander-in-Chief issued the fol-
lowing order of the day :
"General Alexander La Marmara, commanding the
2d Division, died last night. Fidelity to his Sovereign,
love for his country, indefatigableness for the interests
of the army, were the virtues which distinguished his
long military career.
"Immense is the grief I feel for such a loss. You all,
lam sure, share it with me. But to give way under
present circumstances would be a crime.

"For my part, I support the great responsibility
which the Sovereign has deigned to conßde to me, and
redoubling, all of our courage, providence, and per-
severance, with the Divine aid, we will surmount the
malady which causes such cruel losses ; and we shall be
ready to co-operate with our brave allies in the fatiguing
operations about to be undertaken.

" ALFONSO LA MARMORA."

The Ati•ato brings no news or mails from Mexico.

Jamaica continues healthy ; the island has been
visited by vary heavy rains, which has done great
injury to the sugar crops in some districts.
Porto Rico has been visited by the yellow fever,
12 per cent. of the troops have been attacked ; also
second general in command, with his family, were
suffering from the fever when the packet left.
The weather at St. Thomas's has been unusually
hot and sultry, and the yellow fever spreading very
much amongst the s hippi rig; there are 3 merchant ves-
sels in the harbour that have lost all their crews
by fever. The Royal Mail Steam Packet, Wye,
has been visited with fever ; the Ist, 2d, and 4th
officers have been attacked, but are recovering ;
the chief engineer is in a very precarious state,
and Mr. Bidwell, purser, had died after a short
illness. The chiet engineer of the Eagle is dead ;
this is the second chief engineer that has died from
the Eagle in a very short time.
A hurricane is expected at the Weat Indies.
The allied squadron destined for the attack of
Petropaulovski had, it appears, nearly completed
its concentration at the Sandwich Islands, and
would consist of fifteen English and French ships,
including four steamers. The English and French
Admirals are bo th young men for their rank, and
are reported to be. quite up to their work—in fact,
made of very differ 'ent materials to those of the
commanders in th‘o last attack, who, by the ac-
count of the officers engaged in the expedition,
were neither more nor less than a couple of old
women. 'lt appears from letters recently received
from some Russian offiaers in Petropaulovski, that
the place was on the point of surrendering when
the Allied squadron retired. The frigate Aurora,
by the latest accounts, was in that port ; but it is•
expected she would have taken an early oppor-
tunity of retiring to the fortified river of Amour,
where the Russians are reported to have assembled
a body of some 7,000 men for its defence. It is
probable, however, that the Allied squadrons will;
after destroying Petropaulovski, next direct their
attention to Sitka, another accessible point.
In Peru affairs continued quiet, with a good
prospect of a very improved state of affairs under
the administration of General Castilla's govern-
ment. The citsv of Lima had been lighted with
gas, and a railwasr destined to unite the port of
Arica with the imp ortant city of Tacna is now more
than half completed.
Her Majesty's steatl-sloop Buzzard was at Santa
Martha on May 28, and expected to go from thence
to Grey Town.
