CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

COUNCIL OFFICE, TVIIITEIIALL.—(THIS DAY.)
DAILY REPORT of CHOLERA CASES.
COUNTRY.
Remaining at last Report, 2611—New Cases, 1800—Deaths,419—
Recovered, 812—Remaining, 2480. Total Cases since the com-
mencement, 45,454—Deaths, 16,860.
(Signed) AVM. 111 ACLE A N, Secretary.

The total number of burials in London
within the week ending Aug. 21, was 983, of which 274
were from cholera; an average of nearly 40 deaths a day
by that disease.

The cholera has undergone a decided and
very considerable increase during the last ten days in Lon-
don—the cases are not only more numerous, but are upon
thy whole more rapidly fatal. Even the bills of mortality
give us 274 deaths last week, being an increase of 158,
while the increase during the week, of burials, is so great
as 477.—Medical Gazette.

SHEFFIELD, AUG. 31.--(From OUT Corre-
spondent.).—JouN BLAKE, Esq., the mister cutler, died
this morning of cholera. He was only attacked yesterday
evening. In the course of three or four weeks his term of
office (a year) would have expired.

CHEPSTOW.-SHAMMING THE CHOLERA.
—Last week, a crafty mendicant, well skilled in his art,
feigned a fit of the " Blue Cholera," on Tutehill, near
this town. He had stained his hands with indigo; but
after he had swallowed a basin of gruel, pocketed a shil-
ling, and beard a hint of a berth at the tread mill, the
cholera gentleman became convalescent, and beat a double
quick retreat.—Hereford Times.

Bristol, once the second city in England
for commercial intercourse and prosperity, now alas !
looks like a ruinous and " deserted village." The awful
ravages recently committed on her Cathedrals, Towers,
Institutions, and trade are still remaining—melancholy
and unrepaired testimonials of a conflagration which, in
its progress, spread death and desolation around !! Many
of the humbler tredesmen, finding a great and miserable
falling off in their business, have proceeded to Gloucester,
Cheltenham, &c., in quest of better days and brighter
prospects; and the wealthy, awed by the fear of con-
tracting the malignant distemper now prevailing, shun the
multitude fur the marine breezes of Swansea and Weston-
super-Mare, so that at present few are to be found in this
once proud and populous city, who are not retained by
their avocations, or compelled by necessity to remain
stationary.

The Wolverhampton Chronicle contains an
extraordinary affidavit of a nail-weigher of Dudley,
named BENJAMIN HARRIS, relative to his wife, who
was seized with malignant cholera oa Thursday morning
s!'nnight. She was visited by gentlemen of the profes-
sfjorlio.vvgniii,fitgftook

that he left her in order to buy some more brandy for
her, and that when he came back with it he observed a
still greater change: she was in a dying state: her eyes
were closed, her mouth wide open ; she became motion-
less, and her head hung over the back of her chair. The
husband was dreadfully alarmed, and quitted the room ;
shortly after which the attendants came to him, anti said
she was dead. Afterwards she was laid out, and placed
on the floor. At three in the afternoon, whilst sittirw
over the fire, he heard groans: full of astonishment, he
rushe I up stairs, where his wife had been laid out and
placed upon the floor, and was horror-struck at seeing her
upon the bed. She opened her eyes, and waved her
band. He ran out of the house to a neighbour, who re-
turned with him. A Inedical gentleman, who had pre•
viously attended on her, was sent for ; he came and applied
fresh remedies; she became sensible, the powers of speech
returned, but she was unable to explain how she got fromthe floor to the bed. S' e was alive on Saturday evening,
when the husband signed his account of the case; but a
note is added to it by the editor of the Chronicle, stating
she died on Sunday at five o'clock.

LIVERPOOL.—The Silas Richards, from
New York, which place she left on the Sth ult., arrived
at Liverpool on Saturday. The passengers give a most
deplorable description of New York in consequence of the
cholera, and of the situation of the English. They state
that upwards of 100 persons died each day, and that the
natives were hastening out of the city and residing in
camps and buildings situated at a considerable distance
from any other building. Business was completely at a
stand-still, and many of the English who bad gone from
this country, and emir irked the whole of their money in
some speculation which they hoped would have tended to
their benefit, were compelled to discontinue it at a very great
loss, and those who had the means intended to lose no
time in returning to England. When the Silas Richards
left New York, the cholera was increasing to a very
alarming extent in Troy and Albany, and many deaths oc-
curred daily. The Magistrates of Liverpool, baying re-
ceived a communication from the Board of Health that
dissipation and intoxication will promote the spread of the
cholera, have issued a notice requiring the publicans to
close their houses at ten o'clock each night. On Sunday
they were not to open their houses till half•past four
o'clock in the afternoon, and to close at eight. This re-
gulation has given great dissatisfaction to the publicans,
and they complain that it will injure them materially in
their business.
