THE CHOLERA.

(FROM THE COUNCIL OFFICE-RECEIVED YESTERDAY.)

CASES OF SUSPECTED CHOLERA.

We regret to learn that some cases (in all seven) of so
alarming a nature have been reported from Rotherhithe
and Limehouse, that the Central Board of Health have
been induced to send deputations from their body to in-
vestigate the nature of these cases, and, if necessary, to
carry into execution such measures as may be requisite
for the preservation of the public health.

By a letter received this day from the Health Depart-
ment at Paris, it appears that an English vessel, the Lin-
nett, 48 tons, Scharwell, master, which sailed from Rye
on the 3d of January, with 36 passengers (mechanics,)
entered a bay on the coast of Brittany on the night of the
19th of January, when the captain and three men landed
without having had any communication with the Health
Authorities. Immediate alarm was given by the guards,
when the captain and those with him were forced t 3 re-
turn to their vessel at the point of the bayonet, and fortu-
nately without any of those serious consequences to them-
selves, which might have been incurred by their ewn im-
prudent conduct.
As a punishment, however, fur their infringement of
the local regulations, the vessel and all on board were
placed in strict quarantine, and when released will, pro-
bably, be punished by fine and imprisonment.

(From the Glasgow Herald.)
We have still to felicitate ourselves on there being no
appearance of cholera in Glasgow; and as it appears to
have exhausted itself in Kirkintilloch, we trust that it will
pass over us altogether.

(From the Edinburgh Evening Courant.)

We have authority to state, that the Board of Health
kave never contemplated so early interment of patients
dying of cholera as might be supposed from the letter of
Dr. Craigie, published in our last The arrangement
they have made is this, that on a death from cholera being
reported by the medical attendant, the treasurer of the
parish, who is to undertake the funeral in every case of
poverty, shall immediately send a cere-cloth to envelope
the body, in which it is to lie till the friends or relations
are perfectly satisfied of the propriety of its interment.
We understand chit the Board have received so many
accounts of suspicion of the communication of the infection
by the bodies of persons who have died of cholera having
been excited in the minds not only of illiterate persons
but of the most intelligent medical men, that they do not,
think themselves entitled to proceed on the supposition
that these suspicions are unfounded, but they are fully
aware of the necessity of re-pecting the feelings arid even
prejudices of the people in their arrangements on this sub-
ject.

(From the New North Briton.)

A fatal case of cholera has occurred in Edinburgh, in
Caul's-close, Canonvate ; the patient, an elderly female,
a collector of old clothes, and of intemperate habits, had
been going about in the exercise of her vocation on Mon-
day and Tuesday, and was taken ill on Wednesday. She
was removed to Queensberry Hospital, and, as a measure
of precaution, her family have also been placed there. It
bag not been ascertained whether she had been to Mouth-
burgh or not. She died on Wednesday evening.

Board of Health Office, Edinburgh, Feb. 10.
There is no case at present under treatment in Echnburgh.
W. C. CUNINGHAM, Secretary.

There were two cases reported to the Board on Tiiura-
day as having occurred in Edinburgh on Wednesday.—
both reported cures.

PORTOBELLO.--A man of the name of Ri?chie, a shoe
maker, of very dissolute habits, was taken al on Monday,
and on Wednesday his case was pronouvetd to br one of
Aechied eh-!era. lie died that night, and was buried on
Thursday. We are informed that his illness may be
cle irly traced to the circumstance of his having been at
Dlu•aelburgh on Sunday in a state of intoxication.

STATE OF THE CHOLERA AT FISHER-ROW,
NIUSSELIIIIIIGH, PRESTONPANS, AND TRANENT.—A9 it
may be satisfactory to the public to learn the r al state of
the districts in our neighbourhood at present afflicted with
the cholera, we have great pleasure iu communicating the
following particulars from an eminent medical man who
visited them on Thursday last, in company with several
medical friends. About mid-day we entered Fisherrow,
and were rejoiced to observe the countenances of the
people as we passed through the village, and, more parti-
cularly, various groups sauntering in the neighbourhot d of
the New•bridge, both cheerful and serene. On approach-
ing the gate of the cholera hospital, situated between the
New and Old Bridges, several boys and children were
Amusing themselves at play. On entering the hospital,
we were happy to find only four patients, and they were
in a state of convalescence. The nurses and attendants,
consisting of four females and two men, were perfectly
cheerful, and by no means betrayed the slightest appre-
hension either of infection or contagion. These indivi-
duals have been exposed in the same apartments with
the patients since the hospital was instituted, without
.
experiencing the effects of the disease. On inquiry
of the medical gentlemen in the hospital, we were given
to understand that no new cases had occurred in the village
on that day. We next proceeded to Musselburgh, where
we found the hospital shut up, there being no further oc-
casion for it; no new cases in the town. We found
Prestonpans equally healthy, there being only three con-
valescing patients in the hospital, and no new cases in the
town. The inhabitants both at Musselburgh and Pres-
tonpans exhibited the same cheerful countenances as those
at Fisherrow. We were informed by the medical attend-
at the hospital that all the cases in the village were
also convalescent. From thence we proceeded to Tranent,
and found the hospital there in similar circumstances with
those we had already visited in the other villages. We
visited several patients in their own houses, all of whom
were convalescent, with the exception of one, an old
woman in very destitute circumstances, then in a dying
state, after three days' illness. She was attended by her
daughters and other female relatives, who exhibited every
mark of kindness and humane attention, nor did they betray
the slightest symptom of dread from being in constant con-
tact with the sufferer. The same humanity and regard was
evinced by the relations and attendants of the other pa-
tients. On returning through Eisherrow in the evening,
We again visited the hospital, and were glad to learn that
no uew cases had occurred.
The Ultra-Tory Boroughmongering Click, who
have usually assembled at their den in Charles-street, St.
James's-square, met yesterday in great force, for the first
time, at the house of Sir ROUERT PERL, in Privy Gardens,
by special summons. One o'clock was the hoer appointed,
but it was nearly two before many Members of the Upper
House arrived. The business of the meeting, which, we

understand, was extremely stormy, related entirely to the
tacticx to be adopted during the further progress of the
Reform Bill.

Miss SMYTHE, whose approaching alliance
With Sir yRFDERIFIC. HER? E Y BATHURST, Bart., of the
Grenadier Guards, is just announced, is niece to Mrs.
FITZHERLIERT, who, before her anion with her first husband,
Jolla WFLp, E-q., of Lulworth Cistle, was a Miss
SMYTHE, daughter of WALTER. SMYTHE, Esq. of Tonge
Castle, and niece to Sir E. SstviutE, Bart., of Acton
Burnell, in Shropshire. After the death of Mr. Wr.t..n
she became the wile of Mr. FITZ/IR/011MT, a Staffordshire
gentleman, who died, at a very early age, in 1780.
