I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

A MEMBER OF THE NEWCASTLE
BOARD OF HEALTH,
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Nov. 9.

SUNDERLAND, Nov. 9.

Extract of a private letter received this morn-
ing by a mercantile house in the city :
" I am very sorry to inform you that since
yesterday we have had several deaths. Amongst
them poor Samuel Busteville, who had been
poorly these two days, but this morning com-
plained of the cramp in his legs, but did not
wish to have medical assistance. When I came
I got the surgeon's immediate attendance. He
was bled, but departed this life about noon. An-
other is the man who nailed the colours to the
mast in Nelson's engagement, and I have just
heard of four more cases. These are awful
visitations. The doctors are exerting themselves
to do what they can. The weather has been
cold, which is in our favour. I have just
heard that two of our surgeons are of different
opinions as to its being the Indian cholera."

The following is posted at the North and
South American Coffee-house :—" I have just
been at the Medical Board, and am sorry to
say that there are several very alarming cases of
cholera among the 11
ower classes : a person was
taken ill at four o'clock, and died at ten o'clock.
Two medical gentlemen, who have been in
India, informed me that it is the Indian cho-
lera, of which I have not much doubt, from
what I have seen. Some say it is not worse
than we had before ; but I must say I have never
heard of such ; it keeps us all in alarm here."

CHOLERAs—TiIe introduction of cholera
into Sunderland has been attributed to the following
fact :—"A ship
left Hamburg the, day after the presence
of that disease was announced in that city. The same
vessel arrived in the Weir, and was placed under observa-
tion, but, it is alleged, not strictly under quarantine, and
immediately the first cases of cholera appeared in Sunder-
land." We understand that another Board of Health,
composed of the medical officers of the Army and Navy
on half-pay, will be formed immediately.

We regret to learn that his Excellency the
Loßn LIEUTENANT has had a more than ordinary severe
att►ck of his afflicting complaint of tic douloureux.
Neither his Excellency nor any of the Viceregal party were
enabled to attend divine service at the Castle, on Sunday,
in consequence.—Dublin Evening Mail.

Much entertainment, of an unwonted kind,
will be derived from the publication of the new work, en-
titled " Alice Paulet," by the fashionable author of
6, Sydenham," to which novel it is to be considered as a
pendant. Though public matters engaged the wit and
satire of the writer in the former tale, his attention is con-
fined in the new hook to private affairs, such as the inte-
rior of families, the scheming of ladies, the drolleries of
sectarianism, the vicissitudes of courtship, the hopes and
fears attendant on " coming out," &c. &c.
