Note.—The number of attacks reported by the
union officers are—for the metropolis 417, and for
the country 769; but their returns do not, in general,
comprehend the cases that are treated by medical men
in private practiee.

We are happy to find that the epidemic, which has
been making such fearful ravages in the metropolis, ap-
pears to have passed its climax, and to be now on the
decline, the returns for the last three days exhibiting a
progressive decline. The deaths on Monday were 454,
on Tuesday 314, and on Wednesday 213 only, being less
than one-half of the mortality of Monday. This ,lheer-
ing result is doubtless attributable to the recent chAnge
of the weather from dry oppressive heat to wet Lind
cold, as also in part to the better. advised sanitary meA-
sures lately adopted. The following are the Regis-
trar-General's returns of deaths from cholera and
