Note.—The above returns include 263 deaths from
cholera in the metropolis which are given in the returns
of the union officers. The number of attacks reported by
the union officers are—for the metropolis 461, and for
the country 612; but their returns do Rot, in general,
comprehend the cases that are treated by medical men
in private practice.

Yesterday orders were issued by the General
Board of Health for the closing of the graveyard of St.
Ann's, Blacktriars, and that of St. Andrew's Holborn,
and of Christchurch, Westminster, on the reports of
their Inspector, Dr. Gaviti‘Milroy;and for the closing of
the Cross Bones Burial-ground, St. Saviour's, South-
walk, on the report of Mr. Grainger.
The office of surgeon to Guy's Hospital, vacant
by the death of Mr. Aston Key, has been filled up by the
appointment of Mr. John Hilton.
The cholera has almost altogether ceased its ravages
at Salisbury. The board of health assemble now but
twice a week.

NEWPORT, 1.W., SEPT. 6.—A fire, which at its
outbreak appeared likely to prove highly destructive,
broke out about three o'clock this morning, in the ex-
tensive workshops of Mr. Ellis (formerly. Lancaster and
Ellis), in the centre of this town. The Newport engines
were early on the spot, and being full of water soon got to
work, but there was a great difficulty in keeping up a
supply, though there was plenty of water in the mains.
The barrack-engine and a large body of troops were also
brought down, but it being circulated that there was a
great quantity of gunpowder in the stores, and also a
quantity of oil and turpentine, many were deterred from
assisting till the former was removed, off the premises.
By great exertions, the fire was got under, but not till
after the workshops in which it broke out were destroyed;
but the shop, stores and stock were saved. We hope
that good may come out of evil, and that a better ar-
rangement may be made with the fire-plugs, as the ne-
cessity is now seen of getting the water from them into
the fire. engines, which was not thought of before.
ELOPEMENT OF A WIFE AND SVDDEN DEATH ar
HER HIJSZAND.—The inhabitants of. Walworth-road
have lately been much scandalised by the conduct of
Mrs. Bryan, the wife of a respectable tradesman resid-
ing at No. 5, near the Elephant and Castle, who has
been for some time past openly carrying on an intrigue
with a youth named Ward, whom her husband had taken
into the house from motives of charity. A week ago
Ward was observed by the police blowing a railway
signal whistle under the windows, and shortly afterwards
to pick up something thrown out to him and walk away.
He was taken into custody, and three purses with money
were found upon him. -His abandoned paramour ap-
peared next day at the police court, and by acknow-
ledging that she had given him the money secured his
liberation. At length, on Saturday night last, Mrs.
Bryan absconded with 601., the property of her husband,
and neither she nor Ward have since been heard of. The
most melancholy part of the tale remains to be told. On
Tuesday afters oon Mr. Bryan was seized with cholera,
and, notwithstanding the best and most skilful treatment,
expired at an early hour on the following morning.
While the hand of death was on him Mr. Bryan, who
was some years the senior of his wife, sent for his at-
torney, to whom he dictated his last will and testament,
and so disposed of his property that his wife cannot
touch it.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.—The Havre
cotton market continues dull at late quotations, without
being in the slightest manner affected by the late advices
from New York. The sales yesterday were 500 bales;
in other articles trade rather brisk. The Argo-and the
Harmonic both arrived at Havre yesterday from New
York.

BRIGHTON.—Our arrivals continue to increase
rapidly, and numbers are daily flocking in from London.
This town is so situated that the hottest weatheris tem-
pered either by a cooling breeze from the sea, or a re-
freshing current of air irons the Downs, which sweeps
through the streets, and materially assists in purifying
tho atmosphere and cleansing the town. The late heavy
rains have also done much good in that respect.—
