CHOLERA MORBUS.

We regret to announce that Mr. Scott, the brother-in-
law o, the Earl of Oxford, and his Majesty's Consul at
Bourde lux, died yesterday miming, at the house of Lord
Dacre, in Chesterfield-street, of a rapid attack of cholera.
Mrs. Rolyit Smith, the lt,ly of the eldest son of the Eirl
of eirrington, remarkable for her beauty and accom•
plishments, was attacked on Sueday by cholera, at twelve
o'clock. and died within twelve hours.

Mr. Thos. Duncombe, the Member for Hertford, had a
violent attack o cholera on Saturday night, but is new
quite out of danger.
Friday evening, two students of Guy's Hospital went
to one of the minor thearres, and after the conclusion of
the performances, supped at a tavern, and tt.en walked
borne. On arriving at the lodging of one, the over took
leave of his friend and went on board an Irish vessel lyin,2
in the river not far from Tooley-street. Next morning,
within six or seven hours alter, having occasion to pass by
the lodgings of his 'ellow-student, he thought he would
call and see him, hut, to his gr., at horror, found that he
had died of cholera.

In consequence of the prevalence of the cholera morbus
at prevent in the metropolis, orders have been given to re-
move as many troops as possible out of town. Yesterciay
rourning, all she married men belongint to the first hatta
lion of the First Regiment of Grenadier Guards, at p. e-
sent quartered in Westminster, were removed with their
wives and families to Hornsey, where a number of houses
have been engaged for them, and where they will he quar-
tered for the present. On Friday next a detachment of
the Second Regiment of Coldstream Guards, at present
stationed in the Kb g's Mews Barracks, Charing Cross,
and the barracks in the Bird-cage-walk, will leave town
for Warly, in Essex. It is expected that on the Ist of
August, the second battalion of the 3d Regiment of
Scotch Fusileer Guards, will march from London for
Brighton.

On Saturday last, the ten companies of the Ist battalion
of the Ist Rt•giment of Foot Guards, in Portman•street
barracks, collected 101. for the aid of a man's wife named
Capstick, who was discharg d from the third battalion 13
years ago, with a pension of is. 2d. per day. He sold
his pension last summer to enable him to emigrate to
America ; and after receiving half the money in London,
he never went, but squandered it away in a few days, and
like many more, be has since been supported by either the
parishes or his comrades. He was attacked with cholera
on Friday night, and died in a few hours.
BuRNING or A CHOLERA HOsPITAL.-We regret to
have to state that some ignorant and misguided wretches
set fire, on Thursday night, to the wooden building erected
as a cholera hospital in the neighbourhood of the Black-
rock. So speedy was the conflagration, that an old wo-
man, who acted as nurse, and was in the care of the build-
ing, escaped with the greatest difficulty from the flames.—

We are happy to hear that the Duchess of
BEDFORD has quite recovered from the sudden indisposi-
tion with which she was seized on the evening of Thurs-
day last at Camden Hill. Her Grace, accompanied by
her daughters the Ladies LOUISA and GEORGIANA Rus•
SELL, were among the distinguished guests at Earl CRA.
YEN'S grand aquatic fete on board his Lordship's yacht
Menai, off Greenwich, on Saturday last.

Hyde••park on Sunday furnished a convincing
proof that the prolonged sitting of Parliament has not the
power to keep people in town after the usual season ; a
greater scarcity of all kinds of company we never saw, and
the few genteel people who ventured there, finding the
desert they had entered, evidently returned home to shut
up their windows, lest they should be suspected of any
thing so vulgar as being in town after the world had
left it.

Letters from Genoa, of the 12th inst., state
that the Board of Health of that city had declared that all
vessels from places in England and France infected with
cholera should be subjected to a quarantine of 21 days with
susceptible goods, and of 14 days without. Vessels from
Fmgland and France, as well from the Mediterranean as
the ocean, from places not infected with cholera, shall
perform 15 days' quarantine if with susceptible goods, and
seven if without.
