BY CHOLERA.

The ship Brutus, of 384 tons burden, sailed, on the 18th
of May from Liverpool for Quebec. She had on board 330
emigrants, men, women, and children, who with the crew
made a grand total of 349 souls. Previous to sailing, the
vessel underwent the usual examination, the crew and pas-
sengers apparently healthy. She carried an experienced sur-
geon, who, it is said, was well supplied with medicines,
though the statements current differ on the subject. On
the 27th, the ninth day out from Liverpool, a healthy man,
about 30 years of age, was seized with malignant cholera.
The usual remedies were used, and he recovered. The next
case was that of an old woman, 60 years of age, who died
in ten hours after the attack. The ravages of the pestilence
then rapidly increased, the deaths being numerous, in pro-
portion to the cases. The greatest number of deaths was
24 in one day. The captain had not, it seems, any inten-
tion of returning to port, until the disease began to attack
the crew. He then saw that to continue his voyage was
to risk the lives of himself and the survivors, as well as
the property intrusted to his care. Under these circum-
stances, his vessel a Lazar-house, and men, women, and
children dying about him, he resolved to put back to
Liverpool. The resolution was formed on the 3d instant,
and the Brutus reached port on Wednesday morning. Up
to that day the cases had been 117, the deaths 81, and
the recoveries 36. Seven cases remained when the vessel
entered the Mersey, two of which proved fatal in the course
of the day, making the total number of deaths 83. Among
the sufferers were four of the crew. The survivors were,
immediately on their arrival at Liverpool, put on board
the Newcastle, lazaretto ship.
The passengers on board the Brutus found themselves
with provisions. Their stock, however, though the vessel
had been but 26 days at sea, was nearly exhausted,—a
circumstance which would go to prove that the passengers
must, in the early part of the voyage, have stinted them-
selves in order that the stock, which is never superabundant
on board of emigrant ships, might last them till their ar-
rival at Quebec. How fur this want of proper sustenance,
supposing it to have taken place, which seems highly pro-
bable, may have tended to increase the ravages of the cho-
lera, is worthy of consideration. So short bad the pro-
visions become, that a fresh supply was required immedi
rely on the arrival of the Brutus at Liverpool. The
laudanum, too, was exhausted; so limited had been the
quantity originally provided, or so great the quantity ac-
tually administered to the patients.

The name of Wellington-street, in this town,
has been changed to that of Attwood•street.—Birnang-
