ChOiera in Irciand.-It is with deep regret, and
indeed with some alarm, that we have to mention
the devastation which tho Cholera is making in Sc
vcral quarters of the country. We learn TINT in
Iullainorc, the alarm has become great, that tho
greater number of the inhabitants have fled, that
tho shops shut up and business totally neglect

iul alarm which has bcsn excited in that place and
its vicinity when have to state, that in four or

as hitherto reported, which have taken place in
Ireland are 1860, mortality infinitely greater
in proportion than that which has occurred in
Great Britain, which by the last accounts received
amounted to 1884. The cholera has been nine
months in Great Britain, and it has been only half
that time in Iroland.-Dnbhn Evening Post.
