ARI3ROATII.

An important fatal case of cholera has occurred in this
town, in the person of a married woman, who had been
in Dundee for some days in attendance upon several of
her friends, who there had been labouring, under the
dis ease, and of whom no fewer than four had died within
the space of four days. The woman returned to this
town on Friday the 28th, very much exhausted, was im-
mediately seized with cholera, and died on Saturday
evening, the 29th, at nine o'clock. Since the above,
returns have been received stating that the husband and
(laughter of this woman have also died of cholera in the
same house. Active measures appear to have been
taken by the authorities of this town for the removal of
nuisances, and otherwise providing for a visitation of
cholera.

METROPOLIS.
Returns made by the superintendents of the D, E, K,
M, P, and R divisions to the Metropolitan Police Com-
missioners, enumerate 17 cases of cholera (8 resulting
fatally) as having occurred between the 27th and 31st of
October. In several instances death ensued after very
short illness. Thus, in one, it followed only 7 hours
after seizure. In a third instance, the patient died in
8A hours. In another in 12, and in another in 14 hours
after attack. Absence of sanitary precautions was the
predisposing cause.
HOLBORN UNION.—Mr. Grainger has been recently
engaged in a re-examination of the present state of some
of the notorious seats of fever in this district, in which
the danger of the outbreak of cholera appeared to be
imminent.

ST. GEORGE'S EAST (MIDDLESEX).— Three cases of
cholera are reported to-day from this parish, two having
resulted fatally. Both these latter instances are recorded
as being of a very bad type of the disease, and both
occurred in the same house, in Grove-street, one on the
ground-floor, the other on the third storey. The street
is " unpaved in the centre, and the house dirty."

in Edgar-street, at a public-house where several of the
municipal electors of Scotland ward had retired. The
parties inside seemed anxious to getn

having gathered round the door,
getting
money before all them to pass. olice-officer 732
(Sunderland) remonstrated with them, and endeavoured
' to induce the mob to disperse when 1 man
.named Cope-
land, one of the most despe'rate ruffians in Liverpool,
raised his hand and deliberately stabbed him in the groin.
The wound divided the femoral artery and proved fatal
almost immediately from bleeding.. The unfortunate
man was universally respected owing to his kind dis-
position, and. it Nvas.in contemplation by his superiors to
remove him to some less rough neighbourhood. Cope-
