1he Cholera has been introduced into England at two where the greatest number of cases have occurred, and at Kingston, upon HuIl- bott situated upon the eastern coast, opposite the German Ocean. The opinion is expressed by the physicians. that the disorder not imported by any ship or person who had come from infected places.- IL must therefore be endemic, been wafed from the Continent by the winds. The former is tlie most general opinion that is, that the disease had its or gin at the places where it appeared, and was produ- ced by.the same predsposins causes which origina- ted it elsewhere. As with the Plague and Yellow Fever, the learned men of Europe are not agreed whether to consider the Cholera contagious disease not. Treatises affirming and denying the ccnta- giousness of this maady have issued from the press and all be certain of is, that nothing definite is known upon the subject. One thing, however, is ascerained that ia of the utmost importance: the Cholera makes the greates ravages among those who of incorporate habits, and who do pay proper attention to cleanliness Among those who strict ly temperate in both meats and drinks, and who pay due regard to purity of person and attire, there fewer attacks and far less proportion of denhs than among the vicious and immoral portion of the com. munity. With these latter, especially those who inc duge in intoxicating drinks, the Cholera makesquick work. Whoever, therefore, would reasonably hope to escape its eecs must practice the doctrine of to- tat a6stinence. It is also the opinion of intelligent physicians, that this disease s making the tour of the world and that ere long shall have il upon our chores. IL becomes ns therefore. to be prepared, in the only way in which we can be, to withstand its baneuI effects. In its characteristics it very nearly resembles the Bl0ck Death. which commenced in China in 1345, reached Europe in l346 and did not wholly abae till 1349-and by it, it has been estima- ted, tha, nearly he third part o mankind destroy ed-Nor,r;ch Courier
