We have received files of Kingston, Jamaica,
papers to the Doth ult, from which we extract
the following items of interest:
JAMAICA I'm the Island of Jamaica the chol-
era was prevailing to considerable extent In
the Parish of Metcalfe there had been five or
six hundred deaths in very short time.
In St. AIMS Bay, the mortality has been
frightful and there is no appearance yet of the
disease having abated. Among the late deaths
reported in letter written to merchant in
Kingston, we notice the names of Mr.. Horatio
Moses, q son OF Judah Moses, ESD, OF Egypt,
Peig, near Browns Town, and Mr. VIM. Hart,
son of the late Daniel Hart, Esq, of kingston

burials were too numerous to be admitted into
the church, and to have funeral services per-
formed over them. Their interment was left
to be provided for by the sexton, the under

restoratives in their pockets, and relieving the

in the Westbury Road. Over AGO corpses were
buried there in few days The soil being OF
marl the graves could not, without great labor
be carried to q depth of six feet ; and some
times two collins were put into the same grave
The smell arising from the ground became SC
offensive that the grave diggers could no Longer
stand it. All the houses in the immediate
neigh borhood were deserted. st. Leonard''
was becoming seat of pestilence, and it was
found necessary to provide another buria
