THE CHOLERA.

ST. KATHERINE DOCKS.—Three fatal cases of Asiatic
cholera have occurred to persons employed in the St.
Katherine Docks since Sunday last. One case was that
of a warehouseman, who died after a brief attack ; and
the other two men were mariners. Complaints have
been made to the authorities of the establishment re-
specting the stagnant water in the several basins, and,
notwithstanding the officers have flushed the docks from
the river night and day by the aid of steam power, no
beneficial results have been effected. The number of
deaths in these docks has been very considerable during
the last fortnight.
ST. BOTOLPH WITHOUT, ALDGATE.—Yesterday the
board of guardians of the Whitechapel Union gave orders
ti Mr. Perry, inspector of nuisances for the district of
St. Botolph Without, Aldgate, to have the courts and
alleys thoroughly washed after twelie o'clock at night,
and men have been engaged in cleansing the various
over crowded places in Harn's-buildings, Upper East
Smithfield, and other parts where filth and poisonous
matter have been allowed to accumulate, to the danger
of the poor inhabit:ints. Two cases of malignant cholera
terminated fatally yesterday in Hani's-buildings and
Crown-court, faikg St. Katherine Docks.
WHITECHAPEL WOHKHOUSE.—SeveraI cases of Asiatic
cholera have occurred in Whitechapel workhouse among
the pauper inmates, and a ward has been fitted up ex-
pressly for choieia patients, under the medical direction
of Dr Payne, the parochial surgeon.
MILE-END OLD TOWN.—Yesterday morning Mr.
Hughes, the summoning officer of Mile-end Old Town,
forwarded information to Mr. NV. Baker, the coroner,

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Mining Journal of this day.)

There has been very little animation in the Mining
Market this week, and but few transactions recorded.
High-priced dividend shares, with few exceptions, ap-
pear as difficult of sale as speculative stocks. Sortridge
Consols advanced from 30s. to 40s. and 455., with good
business doing in the early part of the week. West Al-
fred Consols have risen to 261., and in demand, a very
considerable improvement being reported in the mine ;
for the end of the year 351. per share was offering. Boil.

In Foreign Mines the business has been unimportant,
although prices have generally remained firm.
There is still no new feature to be remarked in the
Gold Mining Share Market, business in all descriptions
of stocks being extremely fiat, and almost entirely
neglected. Accounts from California still state that
fresh discoveries are being made daily, and the gold is
found not only in the alluvial soil, but likewise in the
rock.
