Cholera near Quebee.-Much alarm existed az
Quebec on the 4th instant, IN consequence OF tne
arrival of the Harris from Limerick al crosse
I.Ie f,he quarantine station) with one hundred
messengers on board; twelve deaths have occur
rrsd IN hoard. the cause Of which had not been
distinctly ascer tanned, but which were reported
to have been by cholera. The n. had been Or
dsred under the strictest quarantine.
Another vessel from the same port was report
ed TO have lost three passengers; but there APP
pears to be no certainty as to the time, daring
The voyage, when the deaths occurred. The re-.
port from the Harvey expressly states that there
was no sickness ON board at the period Of her ar
rival.
An extract from our Correspondent OF the
Maysville Eagle dated the 9th Of June. gives the
following information.
THE Cholsra-Up to Friday morning last. at
the time our Extra Of last week was published,
there had been nineteen deaths. Since that
time tomorrow, an interval OF week. 'nere
have been but eleven deaths. The diminu-
tion in the number of deaths, we fear is caus.
ed more by want Of subjects to act upon, than
an abatement Of the disease. Within the last
twenty four hours there have been Tour deaths,
all coIored persons. The attacks have not been
so violent as they were at first, and generally,
when well attended to, now yield TO the rene
dies applied. The city is literally dePoPulated,
not perhaps. more than one person IN ten remain
ins 10 the place. Persons occasionally begin 10
return, but we would advise all who can conVe'
nien,ly remain away. to stay for some weeks yet
An immediate rush back might produce all the
horrors Of the two first days.
