NINE DAYS LATER. IMPORTANT FROM ENG A Nh

The Packet ship Charlemagne, Gap tain Robinson, from Hayre, via Ply mouth, arrived at late hour this morn. l ing, having sailed from the latter port on the 2elh of February. We are if- debted to Captain Robinson and the editors of the Evening Post, (to whom Cant. k. sent a file of the latest papers for London papers to the 17th of Feb 'ue'} fl F eeiii eeII.fE.REsA ERA " LONDON.
 The Cholera has made it's appear anee in London, and on the 10th ot February there had had been fifteen cases in the capital, and some deaths. But the accounts state that there was no3 great alarm among the people.
 The disease continued very fatai LII the north. At lIaddingtoa, where the disease has prevailed with great seYefl- ty,it was no longer confined to the poor, but several respectable individuals ln easy circumstances have died of 1t; some after an illness of ten, twelve; or fifteen hours. It has broken ont at lIadwick, on the border, "so that in the east end and centre of the country" says an English paper, 'Sit is now fairly established" The people Of Edinbure made early preparation for il, as the readers of this paper have already been apprised.
 The following comments upon the appearance of this scourge in London, are from the Devanport Telegraph:-
 The first case reported to the Coun- cil was that of ship-scraper, who had been employed on the preceding day on board n vessel from Sdnderland.- The contagionists, there, say that their doctrine is fully confirmed. as this man had evidently taken the infection from the vessel. It is right to mention, how ever, that by the united testimony Of several medteai men, unaeabted cases of Cholera have occasionally occurred in London for the last two or three months, and they have not been formal ly reported 10 the Council, merely be. cause of their rarity and generally mo- diied symptoms, but that they were eases of the true Asiatic Cholera has not been questioned. There is, there fore, still reason 10 doubt the doctrine of direct eontagion, without the quali- fication of heexlstence of predisposing causes.
 Fl, II,e question is Of more importance than is generally understood, since up- on it rests the value of all those prepa- rations made by the Boards of Health throughout the country. If infection can be avcrted by getting rid Of those causes which give the body tendency to receive it, then will cleanliness, good food and clothing, and pure air, be, un- der Providence, the means of escaping its dire effects, or, in a great degree, neutralizing its power, while without this conviction on our minds, these things would be of no avail, and our on- Iy resource then would be 10 stop all intercourse with the infected pllces- measure of infinite evil in q commer- cial country like this.
 LONDON, Feb. l6.-Reports receiuea- This day--In London l2 new cases. 1 deaths (yiz: Southwark II, Lambeth l. } In the north of England 80 new cases, I5 dealts.
 That there Is no new disorder in this country Is question winch involves another of serious Whether a death-blow shall be given to our com emerce for the next six months, and whether the tens of thousands who are depending uponit for employment shall be deprived of their daily bread,-- London declared to be an infective place-a city of the plague. Has the Government well considered what it is about?
 'i'hraH cases of cholera have occur. red in Glasgow, two of which have ter minated fatally.
 Dr. White, of Gateshead, in letter published by him, states that the most general prennonitory symptoms in cases of cholera are, first, diarhna; eyacua- tions at the commencement, of a dark brown or hlackish hue, gradually be- coming less and less feculent, until they assume the appearance of dirty water. Slight cramps, most frequently of the toes, .witchings in the abdomen, with giddiness and sickness occasionlly ae-a conpanying it. The treatment which Dr. White has found so beneficial iu combating these symptoms, is express ed in the following extract--
 ssl beg most particularly to enforce the benefit defivable from washing the whole body with warm water, and af 1 terwafds producing genial glow upon.
