communicate for the past few months, as during
our dull or hurricane season nearly all business is
suspended. In fact there Ia but little of import
to communicate, beyond the subject just now oocu-

the cholera in the eastern part Of tho island, and

severe, averaging some fifty to sixty per week of
those attacked it however confines itself almost ex-
cusivey to the negroes and the lower classes whose
means of receiving attention arc necessarily but
few. Communication with the infected towns is
completely suspended by means of sanitary cordons,
composed Of an armed force. The principal mis-
Chief that will be caused by the disease-if it con-
tinues undated in its vilulence-wi be the loss Of
our slave population upon the estates, which even
now is far from adequate to our wants, and which
any unusual mortality among them would seriously
diminish the products Of the country, particularly
those of the cane.
The appearance Of this disease is the more keenly
feared from the fact that this country has hitherto
been totally exempt from It, being more highly
favored than almost any other country on earth
