U.'ne CHOLERA.—ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S HOSPITAL.--
Eight cases of cholera have been admitted into the above
hospital ; but although they were severe, providentially
only one has proved fatal—four patients having been dis-
charged cured, and the others are in a fair way of re'
covery. There are two rooms in the casual ward appro-
priated for the reception of such patiints. In the vicinity
of the hospital, in the courts and alleys in St. Bartholo-
mew's-close, and West-street, Smithfield, the drainage 15
exceedingly bad. • The Commissioners of Sewers for the
City have issued a notice to the inhabitants, not only. t:
keep their own places clean, but to give any inforrnati.n.o
of any noisome stenches or nuisances. Many of the I
habitants of the neighbourhood have urged a house-to
house visitation of the above localities.
