RAvAGEs OF THE CHOLERA IN MEssINA

We stated yesterday that from the ed Of August to
the 10th Of September about twenty-five thousand
sons fell victims to cholera at Messins The following
additional particulars extracted from letter from
F. W. benin, Esq, the United States Consul there to
Lieut. H. A. WISE Of the navy, then serving in the Me-
diterranean squadron:
The ignorant popnlace thought the malady was diff
fused by the foreigners and plotting to
all of he but that they died fast have the
sary energy Artillery and soldiers were parading the
streets day and night although the fatigue augmented
the mortality among the troops About thousand died.
among them forty five officers
More than one-third Of the foreign population Ind
died Of the epidemic and with all classes the fear wasso
great that many persons carried away before they
had expired the parents saying those employed to burn
the bodies take him If not quite Dead he will be sd in
few moments Many were thrown in the streets and
some few more. Mr. benin says he knows Of one man
who, though alive moving on cart among the
dead and was taken from by charitable person. and
is now living.
"0n the 9th of August it became impossible thst the
bodies could be buried Numbers had already beenlying
piled up for couple Of days. and from that day they
were all burnt without regard rank or fortune Several
who were still alive we're thrown into the burning furnace
and consumed.
The English Consul, Mr.. BARKER, his brother and
two sisters died. did the Sandman Consul and his nu-
merous family also the Tuscan Consul and many citi-
zens OF wealth and rank including whole families in
merous instances.
The praiseworthy assistance rendered by Mr. Benin
during the height Of the calamity has been acknowledged
in an official letter Of the Intendene Of Messna to the
Lieutenant General FILASsIERIE, the Royal Governor
Sicily in which is said that he performed the part by
turns OF physician nurse father and benefactor to all
who had need Of his succor."
