will be seen that although Don Pedro had gained
the battle on the esd. he was not in condition

the decline, though the cases that do occur are,
if possible, more malignant than they were few
months ago.
We have already intimated that the prevalence
of Cholera in Dublin has been ruInous-we can
scarcely use weaker word-to all the CONNER
cial interests of Dublin. This city has beer long
declining in trade, but there is scarcely any thing
