posed In one Of these cases no medical mid was
called in aud IN inc other four The patients had been
suffering with il for several hours before physicians
saw them. The disease has OF course not assumed
an epidemical FORM and does not excite the least
alarm in the nelghborhood where Ii exists nor in the

This disease is still confined the neighbOrhood in
which II first made It's appearance. Campbell whom
we mentioned yesterday morning az still living on
the preceding evening" died during the night. Since
five new cases have occurred, three of which, two
men and one woman, had proved fatal up 10 last
ming. One of the men was deck hand on the Ma
jor Barbour; the other was German who got drunk
day before yesterday as preventive for cholera -
The public ihoronghfares, as well as many of the
dwellings in the infected district are in most filthy
condition, but we notice that the city authorities
and the occupants have commenced a thorough rem
ovation.

A most disgracsful row occurred al the Astor Place

the curtain rose and Mr.. Macready appeared, por
ton OF the audience commenced kissing. Soon the
excitement increased and great confusion ensled.
II was not long until further ontrages were perpera
ted Chairs and other missiles were hurled al him
on the stage, and loud cries ensued Of down with
the English hog; y Z" off with the English bull. -
The scene wound up with pelng him with rotten
eggs.
The ladies' became frightened and left the house,
and AIacready eventually compelled to leave the
stage, amidst the most intense excitement and con.
fusion So disgracefnl on affair has probably never

NAPoLEoN's HEART.-When Napoleon
died, it is well known that his heart was
extracted, with the design of being pre-
served The British physician who had
charge of the wondrous organ had depos-
tied it in silver basin, among water and
retired to rest, leaving two tapers burn
ing beside it in his chamber. He often
confesses to his friends, while narrating
the particulars, that he felt very nervous
ly anxious. as TO the custodium of snch a
deposit, and. though he reclined, he did
not sleep. While lying thus awake, he
heard during the silence of the night, first
rustling noise, then plunge among
the watersin basin, and then the sound
of an object falling, with rebound on
the hoor-all occurring with the quick
ness of thought. DR.. A. sprang from his
bed, and the cause of the intrusion upon
his repose was explained was an enor-
nous Normandy rat dragging the heart
! of Napoleon to its hole. A few moments
more, and that which had been too vast
in its ambition to be satisfied with the
sovereignty Of continental Europe, would
have been found in more degraded po-
sition than the dust of Caesar stopping a
beer barrett would have been devour-
ed as the supper of a rat "To such vile
uses must we come at last.
