ALBANY, June IS. CHOLERA AT WHITEHALL AND
 FORT MILLER.
 William Hay, Esq. one of our most intelligent citizens, has just teturncd from the north, hpainfuiintclligence.
 4 second case of decided .Asiotic Cho- tcra has occurred at Whitehall, and terminated fatally in few hours.
 This Case was q Porter living at Whitehall, who had been constantly employed in carrying baggage from the steam boats. No doubt was entertain ed of the character of his disease.
 Mir. Hay was at Fort Miller, and gives us the following intelligence:
 The emigrants of that place are Welch people, of respectable appear ancc, ana about 10 in number. The first case was supposed to be cholera morbus, of which the subject soon died. Immediately after, the sisterof the first patient, who attended him, was similar y attacked, and also died.
 The third case was the husband of the second, and tho brotber-in-law ef the first. He sunk in q few hours, under slight spasms, and without the violent symptoms attending the local cholera morbus.
 The inhabitants of Fort Miller were divided in opinion about the character of the disease. No precautions had been taken, and the emigrants were to leave there to-day.
 Argus Office, J1ae IS, 3, p. su.
 The deputy health officer has just re. turned from an examination of the case on the rai-road, about ' miles from this city, alluded to in our paper of this morning. ItaPpears tbat this emigrant was direct from Quebec, that he was one of those who escaped from the ca nal boat on Thursday evening, whilst under the examination off the City Mar sinai, that he came to the city on foot, was employed on the railroad on Fri day, and on Saturday fell down whilst at work with bis barrow. lis symp- toms, as described to the Health officer, by his employer, were at least of a sus- picious character. He died in two hours and forty minutes after he was taken. Efforts were made to take blood from him, but without success It is proper to add, that he drank free l ly, if not excessively, of water from the brook.
 The Troy Budget of Sunday noon. gives an extract of letter from Mon treaI. dated the l1fh inst. which states that there were NINETY new cases of the cholera at hat place, and FIFTY l FOUR DEATHS, besides those al the hospital.
