" WATERLOO•ROAD (2d Part).

" M. 8, son of a tailor, cholera, 16 hours, August 29,
14, Apollo-buildings.—This small spot of Apollo. build-
ings abounds with noxious effluvia. The privies are most
offensive, the water scarcely fit to drink; heaps of refuse
matter constantly thrown about by the costermongers,
hosts of whom reside in this locality. Pigs, horses, rabbits,
and all sorts of animals are kept hereabouts. lam told
the fish, vegetables, &c., in which the people deal, are at
night frequently placed under the bed. There are two
cats'-meat dealers in Apollo-buildings, the stench from
which is much complained of. The landlord refuses to
cleanse, and tells the inhabitants if they don't like it they
can leave it.

" CAMBERWELL.

" M. 27, bricklayer, cholera, 48 hours, 15, Acorn-
street.—The next house, No. 14, is where the cholera
broke out on the 21st of June, and many deaths took
place in this street of that disease for some weeks after.
The informant complains of a very offensive smell from
an open ditch near the house, also from some pigstyes
at the rear of the house, which have been many times
complained of, but not yet removed.
" WOOLWICH ARSENAL.

" M. 53, waterman, cholera 12 hours, August 26, on
board a coal hulk off Woolwich.—A man of very in.
temperate habits; he had an attack of diarrhoea early in
the morning, and afterwards went out rowing on the
river, drinking ale and spirits, upon which he got worse
and took tincture of rhubarb, then sent for medical as-
sistance, but too late to be of any avail."
Such are a few only of the numerous instructive cases
contained in the Registrar-General's last weekly report•
It is to be regretted that in those districts where cholera
has been most severe the particulars of each case are
most scanty. This perhaps is inevitable from the ad-
ditional amount of work thrown upon the registrars. The
difficulty, however, might be met by their furnishing a
short report as to the condition of those spots in their
districts in which the epidemic bad manifested itself with
the greatest virulence.

PLYMOUTH, MONDAY, SEPT. 3.
At Plymouth the cholera has given some evidences of
abatement. The deaths for the week ending on the 2d
inst. are 54, against 61 for the previous week, and 84 for
the week ending on the 19th ult. The deaths for the
week, daily, are August 27th, 8; 28th, 10; 29th, 7;
30th, 13; 31st, 4; Sept. Ist, 2; and 2d, 10. One re-
markable feature in the present visitation of the disorder
in Plymouth has prevailed throughout, viz , the attacks
being confined almost exclusively to the labouring, the
pauper, and the itinerant classes, especially the latter.
Quarry-court, in Stonehouse-lane, where the disorder
first appeared, was depopulated, and thoroughly cleansed
by the local board of health. The structure of the place,
however, and the mode of its occupation, are circum-
stances over which the board has no control. This in-
fectious vicinity is being fast occupied again by vagrants,
who nightly crowd the small, ill-ventilated rooms, bring-
ing a large revenue to the landlords, and a serious evil
to the town, the ratepayers of which have to provide
food and medicine for them directly they are overtaken
by sickness or want, real or feigned.
