CHOLERA.
The New York Courier and Enquirer of
Monday, says:
awe give below the report of the Board
of Health as II is termed; but we are sorry
to say it is but very poor criterion of the
state of the disease in our city, and entitled
TO but little Of that weight which should be
attached TO It, The Board of Health, the
special medical council, and the medical so
ciety are quarreiling among themselves, and
our citizens IN the meantime, receiving but
little of that accurate information to which
they are entitled. All are no doubt some

Their treatment of Drs. DE Kay and Rine-
lander after employing them to visit Mon
, treal and Qgebec to examine the disease
their wanton and cruel neglect in preparing
the necessary Hospitals for the sick poor
their unwillingness to report tacts-and in
deed their calpa5 bic condact in All that re
lates TO the pestence now among us has
driven some TWENTY OR THIRTY
THOUSAND Of our citizens of the city, and
created unnecessary alarm among those who
remain.
The consequence Of this state of things is,
that many Of the cases reported IRE net Che
icra and at least one third Of the Cholera cas-
es which do occur, are not noticed A re
spectacle phys of our acquaintance had
three cases and two deaths yesterday Of
which he made no report, and he mentioned
many Of his aeq ,a,ntances who also had cas-
e8 which they VIII not report. Such conduct
cannot be justified
