LIS.
From returns made by the superintendents
nts of the D,
IT, lc M, P, and R divisions to thecommissioners
of pollee, and transmitted by them to the General Board
of Health, it appears that between the 17th and 26th
instant, 20 cases of cholera have come to the knowledge
of the police in those districts, which eight have ended
fatally. In one of these latter cases, the return is that
the " back yard is small, the privy and drain close to the
door—both smell very offensive." In another instance,
it is stated that " the yard is very small, the privy and
drain near the door, and the smell very offensive. The
adjoining tenants complain that their houses are simi-
larly situated."ln a third case, the patient was at-
tacked at one a.m. on the 26th, and died at four p.m. of
the same day.

freights were lower, several ships having offered to take
wheat for 245. 9d. per quarter, without being able to
L obtain it, Recently the rate was Ws, 6d.
