TIIE CHOLERA IN PRUSSIA.

The cholera has reached Konigsberg, two fatal
cases having occuered on the 26th. The Committee
of Health has therefore been reconstituted, and have
commenced the necessary arrangements for the
reception and attendance of the sick. It is expected
that the autumn exercise of the Ist Corps d'Armie
will be countermanded.
From Dantzic the accounts are to the 25th, The
cholera had increased, and there were at that date
from 40 to SO new cases daily. Formerly the disease
was almost exclusively confined to the Altstadt and
the Niederstadt ; but it has now spread to other
quarters of the town. Several cases had occurred
Among the higher classes of the inhabitants. From
the first appearance of the disease to the 25th there
had been 308 cases, of which 145 were fatal. The
troops of the garrison had suffered more in propor-
tion to their number than the civilians.
In the town of Posen there were 70 new cases on
the 27th, of which 29 were fatal ; on the same date
there were 428 persons under treatment. In Milo-
slaw the disease had increased. In Zerkow and

ing upon prices as having reached a point which rm..
ders it necessary for them to act with caution, au,
buyers hesitate about paying the extreme pricoa re.
quired by spinners, and are limiting their purchases
of the less scarce descriptions within the amount of
the supply. Matters are, indeed, precisely in that
state when it becomes almost equally difficult to effect
either sales or purchases. In general, there is no
quotable change in prices since last week. Spinners
adhere firmly to their terms, and are rather
worse to deal with for some articles, as, for
instance, Indian mule, and also reeled water. The
approach of the eastern advices has led to a little
more inquiry for the former, and, in the latter, 1
