Almost every weekly re ortin reference to the
Health of London, issued ' from the office of the
Registrar-General, constitutes a melancholy illustra-

lint of particulars that the dreadful scour e o f the
Asiatic cholera has again appeared in the eastern
states of the European Continent.Rememberingßemembering
this cir.-cumstance, and preserving in recollection the
fact of the very fearful ravages caused by the
evi.
demi() in Warsaw, we cannot but observe the state-
ment made by the Registrar-General with pe_
curiar feelings, amounting in intensity almost to those
oi consternation. Turning to this official report,
therefore, of the mortality in the metropolis, we find
in the single division referred to, that within seven
days 'there were eight deaths by " cholera, and fifty-
three. by scarlatina." The cholera, it is true, was
lot. the virulent di.ease known as the Asiatic, but that
ewer, though still often fatal, attack of
a similar kind which has unhappily in a great
measure been gradually rendered indigenous.
WheJler termed the English Cholera or the Summer
Cholera—the disease in question proved itself in the
week to which we are here making allusion, in all
respects sufficiently formidable. It carried off one
person in three days at Paddington, another in five I days at Chelsea, another in a week at BeloTavia,
another in a week at St. Giles's, another in t° wenty-
four-lariatrs at Whitevroas-street, another in twelve I 1
