THE CHOLERA,

8 The Department Of State to-day received
from the United States Consul at Gibraltar a
communication, stating that the sanitary board
at that port has declared the place tree from
cholera, and that clean bills of health are is
sued by the authorities. The Consul also states
that Spain and Morocco will now probably ad-
NIT 10 free pratigue arrivals from that port, and
that the sanitary Gordon by land will soon be
raised by the Spanish Government. The Uni
ted States Consul at Malta, under date of Oc-
tober 3lst. gives interesting information con-
corning the ravages of the cholera, Just termi-
mated there. Two thousand deaths occurred
in Malta and Coco. The principal medical
officers OF Malta, who have had much expe-
r1ence with cholera on previous occasions, re-
ported the late epidemic to be of the worst
Asiatic type, the cases generally proving fatal
In from four TO fourteen hours. All medicines
known to the medical profession, including
opium, ether, laudanum, Hubbard, red pep
per, essence OF peppermint, ammonia, brandy,
ginger, chalk mixtures, iced water, and
other remedies such as bleeding, emetics, Bills
tering, rubbing mustard poultices, &c, proved
utterly ineffcacious, no. more than two out of
every ten that We're attacked by the disease
surviving. The thermometer during the prev
alence of the epidemic was not influenced in
any unusual manner, although throughout the
summer there hung over the island heavy
mist which neither wind, rain or lightning
could dissipate. The cholera attacked differ
ent parts OF the city at the same time, sometimes
carrying OIL whole families on one side of the
street and affecting no one Immediately oppo.
81 From Investigations made in that section
OF Europe 1t was found that quarantine regu.
lations had no effect on the progress of the epi-
demlc, the cholera advancing into the interior
despite the most rigid enforcement Of quaran-
tine laws.
