Amongst the advantages '.nat we are likely to
gain from the troubles prev aing in other parts OF
the world the host Of distinguished artists that it
Is certain TO drive 70 our shores. The people Of
Europe are at pesent too heavily taxed to provide
for the expenses Of the war, to have much surplus
money to spend on amusements. To the artistic
celibreties who have alre ady been induced to visit
us by this deprecated condition OF theatrical pros
poets, We have now to add the long expected Dira,
Of London and Paris worshippers, the world re-
nowned Gueletta Grisi, her almost equally famous
husband, the titled tenor Mario, Madlle. Donovauni

speak in the highest terms, but whom we

her honest Irish patronymic. With these distin-
guished lions has Of arrived their leader and
ciceone, Mr.. Jas. H. Hackett, who expects to reap
golden tarvest by his new acquisitions To this
list Of theatrical notabilities arrived by the Baltic
we have to add Mr.. William Niblo, who, we pre-

operations. Tue ensuing theatrical campaign,
therefore, promises to rival in keenness Of competi.

MORTALITY OF THE PAST wEEK--THE CHOLERA.
There were 922 deaths in this city during the
week ending yesterday, according to the official
report of the City Inspector, being 1913 less than
the week previous. The cholera is gradually dis
sPpea,ing, the total number Of deaths from this
cause being 22l-ad decrease OF 81 on the week BE-
fore. From the public institutions it has entirely
disappeared. This ia very gratifying indication,
from which we may reasonably expect its total de-
parturs in few weeks. OF the whole number Of
deaths Of this disease one hundred and fifty odd
were foreigners; and this reveals the fact that
this malady is mainly among the unfortunate classes
Of those districts Of the city polluted with filth With
the clearly portion Of our population there need be
little fear of the cholera. BY the report We learn
that there were II deaths Of cholera morhus; A of
diarrbea; 80 Of dyssntery; II OF Inflammation of
the bowels; 10 of atrophia; SO Of consumption; II
