RaVaSes OF the CboIe-a.

The Msrseilles papers state that on the
appearance of the cholera in Egypt, the
municipal authorities in Marseilles desired
to place all ships entering that port from
the Levsnt, in quarantine. For that pur-
pose they applied to the Board of Health
in Paris for permission to do so, but their
application was refused. They add that
as yet the inhabitants Of Marseilies have
not suffered from cholera, although no
quarantine has been enforced. On the
other hand the cholera is said to be max
ing sure and steady progress in France,
and the action of the Government in en-
desvoring to keep all knowledge of the
state of affairs from the people is very gem
orally condemned. The disease is, how
eyer, reported 20 lave no very virulent
form, though the space over which it ex-
tends is very considerable and is increas-
ing rapidly.

Italian friend resident in Florence is inter.
esting, and may be relied upon as correct;
"Tne news from Ancona concerning the
cholera is frightful, but the authorities vie
with each othe: in their zeal and self sacri-
fee with which they confront the danger.
In various other place isolated cases have
occurred, but they are all of persons who
had fled from Ancona. In Florence there
has never been less illness of 1ny kind

the day; special trains take thousands Of
persons to enjoy the ses bathing At Leg

moment, and more interest ia taken in the
great commercial enterprises now upon

The harvest is generally abundant, and of
oil and wine, especially, much will be

more than q third of the population had
