day afternoon for Halifax. The cholera had shated
ct Barbados, bat thsre were still cases occurring
and carrying on the victims in three or four hours
The island had begun to wear moro cheerful a.
pect and business was being renewed. The number
Of deaths nom the epidemic there 10 set down at not
less than $4,000.
BY the last accounts from Granads there was rea-
son for believing the cholera was there. The &C.
coants now received fully confirm this, and represent
It ~ exceeding In magnity even that a Barbado
UP 70 the 4th inst. the deaths amounted to 5000
about one-tenth of the population. There was q
great want OF medical assistance medicines and food
there was satisfactory to learn that at the latest
accounts, tne epidemic was on the dec ease.

Murray, lately In command OF the 72d reriment
(highlanders) at Halifax, NJ s., has been apeosnted

island Of the British West Indies The annexed
sanitary report viii be found interesting -
as BARBADORs.
The cholera, SAWS the Barbados Wsa Edi~, of
the 10th OF August, scarcely exists now as an epi
demic, though there cases Of it occurring 10 20
the last day or two, and those Of friehsful rapidly
10 which death ensues only after three or four hours
Illness But they are becoming more rare. The
island wears more cheerful aspect; the people
have recovered from their fright and dependency:
the laborersar busy at work In the fields weediHg
inc young canes. OF planting yams and potatoes;
with ersons who are anxious to supply their wants
Whatever the lumber Of deaths may amount 10.
which We are unable to ascertain yet, though we
thlDk may be set down at Is 600 up to the present
moment the loss ia not discoveiabc in the business
pats Of the city. =
The total number of deaths Of military by cholera
at Barbados, up to the 9th Of August, was s55.
GRANADA.
1nc existence OF the cnOlera al Granada is fully
confirmed, and she mortality Of that island has fully
equaued, II not exceeded, the suffering BY the dis
ease at Barbados. Up to the 4th of August, the
deaths amounted to 1900, or very nearly the one
tenth part Of the entire population and this within
period Of forty-iour days. The epidemic, We are
gratied to learn, was on the decrease at the latest
dates. The want Of medical attcn dance, medicine,
food, and for persons to wait on the sick was much
felt.
SAINT VINCENT.
Extract of letter dated August 10 This island
H perfectly healthy; the medical gentlemen uncm
ployed. But we are surrounded with cholera. At
Barbados It has considerably abated, but commit
ting sad ravages in Granada and st. Lucio. The
per centage m Granada exceeds that Of Bsrba10es,
In comparison with the population. We are very
rigid in quarantine regulations, and hope to avoid
the disease. Our people have taken the law into
their own hands, and forcibly driven an American
vessel from the island in conseque Of her having
anchored at Barbadoes and come down here ard
admitted to an entry by the Governor without riding
full quarantine Of fourteen days. The captain was
and not allowed 70 land. The police wero too weak
to afford protection, or the authorities too imheclc
to render 1t.
Thomas Duncan, Esq, Controller Of Customs at
Tohago, had committed suicide by cntting his
throat. In consequence Of o Mr.. T. NJ. Iauden, whe
had been acting tor him during his absence In Eng.
