THE CHOLERA IN MALTA.

(From the Malta Gazette of the 9th instant.)
Our weekly abstract of cases of cholera in Malta conti-
nues to show a decline in the disease of the most favourable
nature, the new cases this week being only 424, deaths 246,
remaining under treatment 306. Besides which the mili-
tary and naval hospitals have been entirely without pa-
tients ; and when we look to the daily numbers, which on
the Ist instant were—cases 109, deaths 51, the diminution
of the mortality is still more promising.

The weekly casualties in Gozo are no less encouraging,
the new cases being reduced from 164 to 67, and the deaths
from 67 to 34.
(From the Malta Gazette of the 16th inst.)
In 'Valetta the fresh attacks seldom now exceed three
daily. In fact, the disease has been regularly and decidedly
on the decline for the last four weeks throughout these
islands ; so much so, that some of the temporary hospitals
in the country hare bees found no longer necessary. The
daily returns give the following aggregate numbers i 3
Malta for each day since our last publication :

Compared with last week's statement, the number of at-
tacks (226) and of fatal cases (130) are both reduced by
about one half. The decrease of the new cases and the
mortality in the island of Goa() bears the same proportion
to former statements. We may therefore, upon the whole,
look forward to the steady disappearance of the disease as
an epidemy—an event most fervently prayed for by all
classes ; and, in truth, the population generally, actuated
by their own good sense, and a confidence in the Divine
protection, are returning to their usual occupations ; and
we trust that the trade of the island will soon be relieved
from its present state of stagnation.
