THE CHOLERA AT TRIPOLI.

By an arrival from Tripoli we learn the following
particulars respecting the cholera in that regency. It
appears that from the first the disease was of the must
,aggravated character, attacking without any premo-
nitory symptoms, the attacked immediately dying;
while carrying burdens, the Arabs fell down and ex-
pired before any assistance could be rendered, and
unaccompanied by external discharges or .cratnps ; a
deadly faintness seizing them suddenly. Such was
the universal fear that all who could fled from the
place—perhaps not more than from four. to five
thousand remaining, and those of the most destitute
of the population. The Pdcha had left with all the
troops. The European consuls also, with one or two
exceptions. The difficulty was to discover where the
Sick were to be found, for you heard of them
only by the report of their death ; when
found they were generally averse to taking
medicine, and no reasoning could prevail upon
,them
to clean or purify their wretched dwellings.- The
regret of any one who might he willing to'render any
assistance arose from the almost utter inability to do
any good ; for from the entire disorganization of the
country, nod the absence of all in authority, no sup-
port could be obtained. So that whatever the Go-
Tfrnment of Malta might have done, whatever medi-
cal assistance they .might have sent, all their exer-
tions have been nullified by the anarchy and fright•
ful panic which reigned among all classes. It may
be thus far satisfactory to know how futile any effort
would have been to render assistance from thence.
The victims, as usual, were amongst the poorest class
of the inhabitants. In the country whole villages were
depopulated.
One curious fact, ascertained by an English tra-
veller, was a mortality among the dogs in the country
7—numbers dying with vomiting, watery discharges,
and cramps, in fact cholera—which was preceded by a
firmness, loss of appetite, and disinclination to any
exertion. In Misellata, about seventy miles from
Tripoli, there were somewhat more than twenty cases
of canine cholere, and also a great mortality among
the fowls—death being preceded by a yellowish dis-
carge from the mouth. It gratifies us to.be able, to
live praise, When it is merited so richly as in :,tba.per-
sbn of M. Ostiz, the Spanish consul, who, from first

tip last, did all in his power to alleviate the distress of
both natives and Europeans, distributing soup and
rweessaries to the utmost of his means.

CITY COURT OF SEWERS.
Yesterday a Court was held at Guildhall ; Mr.
Deputy Peacock in the chair.
The inspectors made their weekly reports of the
condition of the streets. The accounts were favour-
able, showing that the scavengers had performed their
duty to the satisfaction of the inspectors and the
public. The strict manner in which the Commis-
sioners have enforced the regulations of the Court with
r/spect to the speedy removal of the nuisances arising
from the enormous traffic in some of the principal
thoroughfares, manifested its effects in the returns,
aid there was no occasion for any of the apologies
which the dustmen have been in the habit of ;flaking.
It is due to the Commissioners to state that their in-
quiries into the Causes of complaint made 'by thAr
terllow-citizens are most rigidly instituted, and there
ist.. every probability that throughout the approaching
winter the enforcement of the wholesome rules oftbe
Claurt under the extreme penalties for violation will be
productive of the Most salutary and comfortable effects
td the population.
ACCOMMODATION AT ET. PATILeB.
An application was made by Mr. Walcot, on 'the
pert of the Dean and Chapter of 'St. Paul's. 'lt
cdntained a request that, as the authorities of the
Cathedral had erected two steps at the north and
south entrances, the Court would direct a third step
to be added cn the public way, in order to perfect the
general accommodation in that Tespect.
;Mr. BmanEß.complained of the delay which had
taken place on the part of the Dean and Chapter with
rerpect to the communications made by the pommis-
sioners about six months ago. He had hoped that
the delay originated in the preparations of the autho-
rities for the removal of the twopenny charge, which
had been so much and so deservedly animadverted
upon by the public.
Mr. Deputy IioLT said he was not aware df the
cause of the delay on the subject referred,to by Mr.
Barber, but be was of opinion that the request of the
' Dean and Chapter, which he considered to be a step
towards improvement, should be without hesitation
complied with. The Dean• and Chapter had shown
a disposition to increase the public accommodation by
thiowing open the gates during the day, so that per-
sons might pass to and from the north and south sides
of the' churchyard without being obliged to undergo
the existing inconvenience.
Mr. BLAKE also advised that the request of the
Dean and Chapter should be complied with. •
It was ultimately determined that the matter should
he referred to the Committee of Views, with direc-
tions to report to the Court upon the propriety of ,
making the step in concurrence with the vievvs of the
' Dean and Chapter.
The Court examined the model of a great public
' convenience, to which particular allusion will, it is
• expected, be made at the next meeting of the Con:wais-
t sionets.—Adjourned.
