Col. POTEN, the Private Secretary of his
Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND, is gone to
Hanover. The object of the gallant Colonel's journey is
understood to relate to his appointment to another regi-
Hant, and totally unconnected with affairs of state. His
stay is not expected to be of long duration.
PROGRESS OF CHOLERA IN LONDON.—
We have the satisfaction to state, that up to Thursday the
number of deaths from cholera had undergone a very
harked diminution, not exceeding one-hall what they
Wsre a fortnight ago. This is apparently dependent upon
the cases having assumed a somewhat milder aspeet, as
their number (though also on the decline) has not dimi-
°Wird in the same proportion. On the day above men-
detne temperature suddenly rose very nearly twenty
tyflrees, and became accompanied ~by a damp state of at.
Hlosphere. Some temporary increase may therefore be
48onably expected in the epidemic, but we have not been
e to ascertain that such has actually been the case.
