CHOLERA IN NEW-YORK.

IN New-Jersey.-Ten out Of thirteen pros
titu;es in one house in New York have been
carried off by the Cholera.
Three cases were reported in Philadelphia
in week-and only one, we believe, since
Twenty-Five new cases were reported in
Albany on the 10th
Five cases were announced in Newark
n. j., on the 18th. In Bennington, Lyons,
Seneca Falls, Rochester, and Buffalo, there
were some cases
In Cleaveland, Ohio, some cases had ap-
peared among Irish emigrants from Canada
Among the deaths near Detroit from Chol-
era is Lieut.. Clay, Of the United States Ar
my-a son of Henry Clay-said 10 be
promising young man.

Our city is rapidly emptying of its in
habitants, and every day we seem to see
a less and less number about the streets.
We should not be surprised to know
that one third to one half our population
is missing. Several large mechanical
and other establishments have been clos
ed, and great number of dwellings are
vacated. All this appears strange to us,
for, as we said the other day, we do hon
estly believe there is less danger to per-
sons of correct habits, in the city, than
out OF it. Already we hear o. Cholera
cases at Newark, Westfel5, n. J. New
haven, and several other places. The
eases at Ncwhaven are tN . ladies, Mrs.
Northop and daughter, who left this CT
ty to get away from the Cholera. We
are happy to learn that they are likely
to recover. Two other persons. it is
stated, who were running away from the
Cholera, have been attacked by it in the
interior of Columbia county. The fol-
lowing letter we find in the CONNER

Extract of a Letter from Physician re-
siding in the city of New York to the
Editors of the Union, dated
New YoRK, July Sth, 1882.
Dear Sir: As the Cholera is the all
engrossing theme now, and every BODY
seems anxious 10 know some of the ne
of this mysterious disease. | !
have thought it best to address YOU
very few remarks on the subject, from
which YOU can Gull any thing to suit the
enquiries, or quiet the fears ofyour rea-
iers. In Canada and in this CITY, the
Cholera was heralded in by long and
CONSTANT blowing of east and southeast
broke out here in the east
md south east side ofthe City first.
There is but one opinion here among
medical men as to its contagious nature
not one believes in contagion it is ev-
IDENTITY atmospheric. All persons breath
ng the poison, suffer more or less. The
lrst general symptoms amongst the com
nunity at large, are loss of appetite.
ow spirits, sense of weight and sinking
bout the stomach, bowel complaint
ometimes nausea. These symptoms
Increase until the poison thus operates
or little while, then all the diseases
lssume cholerick character-present.
