THE CHOLERA MORBUS.

Extract of a letter from the Mayor of New-
castle-upon-Tyne to the Lords of his Majesty's
Most Honourable Privy Council, dated New-
castle, Nov. 27, 1831 :
" It now becomes my painful duty to inform
your Lordships that a case of spasmodic cho-
lera appeared in this town yesterday, which ter-
minated fatally in the space of nine hours and a
half. Dr. .M‘Werter, and Mr. Davidson, sur-
geon, attended the case.
" A person of the name of Jordan, a labourer,
a temperate, healthy man, was taken ill at half-
past one o'clock, and died at eleven the same
nigh

" I most sincerely condole with your Lord-
ships and the country upon this unhappy event.
It now only remains for the inhabitants of this
town to meet it with firmness, and mitigate the
miseries of our fellow •townspeople by acts of
kindness and charity, and cheerfully and fear-
lessly to discharge our respective duties."

" SUNDERLAND, Nov. 27.

" SIR,—In my letter of the 20th instant (the
day I arrived in this place), I had the honour to
state, after having seen eight cases, That whe-
ther the disease now prevailing here spreads or
not, whether it may have been observed here in
other years, or now only for the first time, it is
identical with the disease of which Dr. Russell
and myself saw so much in St. Petersburgh.'
" I have seen several marked cases since the
date of that letter, and they confirm in the most
perfect manner the above statement, indeed re-
move all doubt from every man's mind who has
seen them, as to the positive existence at this
moment of the spasmodic cholera (as it is called)
I in this town of Sunderland.

The spread of the disease is, I fear, increas-
ing. This day I saw a case—a young woman in
Monk-Wearmouth, close to the river, on the left
bank—it was most distinctly marked. There were
many Medical Gentlemen of this town present,
and they all with one voice declared that they
had never seen such a disease before this year.
Indeed, I do not believe that there is one dis-
sentient voice now here as to the actual presence
of the continental spasmodic cholera in this
town.

" The New Board of Health, comprised of
the Chief Magistrate and other influential and
public-spirited individuals, is in full operation.
Subordinate associations of the benevoler_t and
wealthy are forming to support the Board, in the
adoption of such measures as may tend to amelio•
rate the food, clothing; and dwellings of the poor.
In short, Sunderland is now meeting the disease
with which it is afflicted, with that courage,
firmness, and activity, which, under such circum-
stances, always afford the best hopes of
allevi-
ating public calamity.

" I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your most obedient servant,
" D. BARRY, 51. D,

" The Clerk of the Council."

Buenos Ayres Papers to the 11th September have been
received at the North and South American Coffee-house.
(From the Paper of the 10th September.)
The mail from Cordova arrived during the week, and
brought a variety of intelligence, the most important, how-
ever, of which is, the restored authorization which has
been given by several of the Provinces to the Government
of Buenos Ayres for the management of foreign relations
of the Argentine Republic. General Quiroga, according
to the last accounts, remained at San Juan, his health
being completely re-established. The remaining news from
the Provinces is not very important ; it is said that the
Government of Mendoza has refused permission to various
emigrants to return thither until the country is perfectly
ttled.
The Peruvian frigate Prueda was run away with by
the crew, on the 29th of June, and o❑ the 15th of July
no tidings of her had been received. Exchange on Eng-
land 74 to i per dollar.
They write from Brussels that a long conference took
place on the 24th of November, between Mr. Adair, M.
Belliard, and Prince d'Aremberg, and it is as,ured it re-
lated to it certain marriage.

Consols, 8311

THE FUNDS.
The only arrivals this morning are a Li,bon mail,
which sailed on the 20th of November, and the estafette
from Paris. By the latter we observe that no further
official information had been received at Paris from
Lyons when the despatch left; but it was expected
that Marshal Soult and his Royal Highness the Duke
of Orleans were to enter the above town on Sunday last,
by which one would imagine that some sort of negociations
were on the tapir between the insurgents and the Marshal,
as no doubt he wishes to spare the further effusion of
blood. Paris seems rather to be in an agitated state lest
the working classes should catch the fever of Lyons, but
it appears that Government are on the alert, and taking
precautions to meet the danger.
The Cowl market appears rather heavy this morning.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 83H. for the Account,
opened at 8:35, but receded to 83y, for money ; at present
they are 834, with little doing.
The Foreign Market is without the least interest at
present.

The mail from Lisbon brings accounts of Don Miguel
having made a forced loan on the merchants of about
240,0001., which be bas obtained for the defence of the
country.
We have a report that an insurrection has taken place at
Madeira, and the Governor killed, after which they de-
clared in favour of Don Pedro. But we have seen letters
from Madeira of Nov. 5, which do not mention it; still
later dates may have arrived from St. Michael's by the
orange vessels, with the information.
We hear that Don Pedro's ships have sailed without
cargoes, except one, which had cannon on hoard. It
cleared out for Cadiz. It is supposed that they are gone
to Terceira.

Letters from Smyrna of the 20th October state, that
from 100 to 150 persons die daily of the cholera.
It is said that a loan is in contemplation at the Stock
Exchange for Don Pedro.

Consols, which hare been rather heavy the whole of the
morning, have since somewhat improved ; in the early
part of the morning they were 83i for money, and 83+
for the account ; at present they may be quoted at 83i
and 83+ for money, with little doing.
The public are anxious to receive further accounts from
Paris, to learn the result of the insurrection at Lyons; the
well-informed are of opinion that the parties have come
to terms before this time, and that order has again been
restored.

The Foreign Market remains in a stagnant state, there
being little or nothing doing to the present hour.

Lord FITZROY SOMERSET held a levee this
forenoon at the Horse Guards, which WAS fully attended.
The Hon. Captain and Lady EMMELINE
STUART IVoitn.ry have arrived at Wharncliffe-house,
Curzon-street, from the Continent, where they have been
residing since their marriage, which took place in February
last. Report speaks highly of the poetical talents of Lady
EMMELINE, who is the authoress of some trifles in one o
the newly published annuals.
RETALIATION.—When the late Marquis of
LONDONDERRY was Secretary of State, a friend one day,
in familiar conversation, took the liberty of asking him
why, in his official appointments, be did not promote
merit Why ?"
cried the Marquis, " why because
merit did not promote me, to be sure."... The Album.
