The Cholera in Italy,

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)
GENOA, Aug. 4.

The Movinzento says :—" Letters from Ancona
represent a gloomy state of things in this city. On
the Ist and 2d inst. the emigration of resident
families, either to the country or the neighbouring
provinces, commenced upon a vast scale. The panic
was such that some of the frontier provinces were
obliged to form sanitary cordons, in order to repel
those who were endeavouring to enter the province."
T4TRIN, Aug. 5.

The military camps of Gluardo and San Maurizio
have been broken up, the state of the public health
being such as no longer to allow of so many men
being assembled in one spot.
The Diritto says on this subject :—" We are not
aware why the camp of Son:ma, is not also broken
up. The malady might there develop itself and
would then be beyond remedy. it, is to be feared
that the soldiers after all their hards Lips may still
have to undergo perilous and long rnarcii;s before
arriving at their destination. Some of them Live
to go even as far as Sicily."

According to the Italie, however, the camp at
Somma continues in an excellent condition. "It
is erroneous," says that paper, " to suppose that
the camp is to be broken up. The troops will con-
tinue their exercises there during the period ap-
pointed. If the camps of Ghiardo and San Maurizio
were recently discontinued, it was because the period
had terminated during which the troops were to be
under arms.

as ICZLONDON.—Just
world if you be a strong
swimmer, so do I believe there is
nowhere like London to live in if •
you be rich enough.
It's very poor fun, though, if you can only scramble and
struggle, hold on by another, or shout for a life-belt. In
such sad plight as this I fancy I sin just as well in
shallow water, stagnant though it be, and a little muddy
at bottom. To be rich enough for London means to bo
able to enjoy the best society of Europe, in the midst of
more material comforts than ever met together elsewhere.
" Non conduit cuique" to live in Park-lane, however, and
fortunately for us small minnows of the fish-pond, there are
little pools and rivulets where we can disport ourselves
very pleasantly, and where none of us is so ill-mannered as
to hint at there being such creatures as whales. Now,
though I cannot afford a box at the opera, I should like to
go occasionally, of an extra night say; so I would be well
pleased if fortune permitted me now and then to visit this
marvellous place for a week or so, to cross over the great
bridges—lounge in its parks—eat its fish dinners—hear a
good debate in the House—or, better still, listen to a good
dinner conversation, such as I have heard many lately. I
certainly enjoyed myself more in England than I ever re-
member doing before; and I am graceless enough to believe
that I owe it to myself, mainly at least, and for this reason,
that I found there were scores of things which once on a
time used to irritate and annoy that now vexed me no longer.
Whether it was that when younger the current of life was
more turbulent in its very buoyancy, or that a craving am-
bition to be something, or to do something, quite beyond
me, left me restless and fevered, but so it was. I always
found myself in London very cross that I was not rich,
that I had not a house in Piccadilly and a seat in Parlia-
ment, that I was not so much sought after as this, or as
much in request as that other ; in fact, that I was such a
mere " waif " there was no one so poor as to claim me.
Well, time has rolled on and made me no better—far from
it, only so much older, more wayworn, and more stupid
but, as a sort of compensation, it has made me more pa-
tient. I no longer fret that my place is below the salt;
the fare is very good, after all, and scores of pleasant fel,
lows, I well know how much better than myself, sit there
also. Our own fault is it, if we keep our eyes on those at
the head of the table, and long for the costly viands that
are served to them; our diet is good and -wholesome, and
very pleasant is the company who partake of it. . . •
So far as my opportunities extended, I should say that
they dine better in England than of yore, they talk better,
and they dress better. I don't think the House of Com-
mons so eloquent as I once remember it ; and I am sure
that the drama is just as dull, and the acting as intensely
vulgar as ever ; but what is to be done with an audience
who never laugh except at old jokes that they are used to,
and must have their drollery, as infants have their food,
made easy for mastication before it reaches them ?—Black-
wood's Magazine.
