the desired information, not only Of the
attack and progress of the disease, but OF
the mode Of treatment. An hour was
appo;u.cd by two6f our practitioners, to
accompany DIR. Bronson to one of the
hospitals, and slew him number OF
patients now actually laboring under the
disease in its various stages.
We are happy to say that the disease
is assuming a milder character, and the
number of attacks much diminished with
[, in the last two days. Indeed, this day,
all our physicians agree that the number
of cases is sensibly diminished, and yield
more readily to medical treatment than
they did, The tr.'h, probably, is, that
the victims most susceptible of severe at
tack 1--WE mean the drunk ards and tip
piers, upon it almost invariably proves
fatal have been swept off; and the
physicians, no doubt, understand the
disease better than they did. We pre-
s',pe ~ say, that we do not ovcrrate the
deaths at an average Of 100 per day for
the last ten days, which is friehtful
mortality for a population of 80 or
80, 200.
We wish we could say, in truth, that
none but the worthless in our community
had fallen victims to this dreadful dis
ease; but many families Of respectable
standing have to mourn the loss of faith.
crs, mothers, brothers and sisters, whose
lives and habits were most regular and
temperate. A great many emigrants
and Canadians, though not of the higher
orders OF society, yet regular in their
habits, but poor hard working men, ex-
posed and poorly fed, have died.
Our neighbor and friend, Stephen
SeweIl, Esq, (brother of Chief Justice
Sewell,) died this morning. He has
friends in Albany lie has left large
and interesting family, all of whom, with
Mrs. Sswell, were absent in the country.
Such is the rapid progress of the disease,
that if friends are absent days journey,
recovery or death ensues before their re-
turn.
*Mrs Sewel is the daughter Of the late Mr..
James Caldwell. Of Albany.
BOARD OF HEALTH,

Deaths in same period, 1i9
From Tuesday, 2 o'clock, p. NJ, to

by order, j. G. SCOTT, Sec'ry.
The health commissioner has not re-
ceived reports Of new cases from Doctors
Caldwell and Buchanan for Tuesday,
nor from Doctors Caldwell, Holmes,
Buchanan, and Porter for Wednesday.
The news from Quebec is to the 10Th
inst. inclusive, three days later than our
advices on Saturday. On the nth, there
were ~ admitted into the hospitals; GO
re ported convalescert; 5 discharged, cur
ed; and 81 deaths. On the 18th there
were 46 admissions, 81 convalesccnt, 9
discharged, cured; and 90 deaths. On
the 18th, there were &C admissions in.o
the hospitals; as were reported as con-
valesccnt; ~ were discharged cured;
and 32 deaths; the total OF deaths to the
! 9th inclusive, was 280; total number Of
cases, in the hospitals, 5i2; remaining
1919.
1t must he borne in mind, however, in
reading these accounts, that these Bul!e-
tins, thus far, have made no mention Of
those who were attacked and die at their
own residences. 1t is impossible at this
time to give an accurate list of this class
of cases; some estimate may be made, by
n calculation of the proportionate mortal,
ity among those who arrive at the hospit-
ais. 1t appears that the cholera has bro.
ken out among the troops ofthe garrison,
and that two of the soldiers have died.
On the 18th, the board Of health and
the medical faculty officially announced
that "the prevailing epidemic had con-
siderably abatcd during the last two days
in the violence Of its symptoms and the
faculty Of its termination"-an annuncia-
ton which the results on that day con-
frmed, But on the 10Th the disease
was again increasing.
LAcHiNE.-The cholera has appeared
at Lachine, and among the deaths
we have heard are those of MIR
Monk, of Willamsburgh, son
of Mr.. Matthias Monk; and Mr.. Whit
ncy, tavern-keeper, of Lachine. 1t has
also broken out at Coteau de Lac, and
has swept away several emigrants and
inhabitants.
