The Cholera,

,An.artcle in the; London,Iine Aug. %, gives
strong ground Tor hope, that this fearful disease,
the approach of whichis spreading such alarm
through Europe and this country, is not of the
same character as the visitations of '32, 40, and
"a, and that itssravages are confined to the sea-
board Hitherto this disease has always ad-
yanced in certain track, from India towards1he
region of Western Europe. Its progress could
be marked stage by stage, not always in di-
rect line, bat generally from the southeast,to the
northwest. Itwas heard ofin Persia, Asia Minor
and Turkey; then Vienna, Prague, Warsaw, Ber-
lin and North Germany, till it got to Belgium
'and Paris. We quote from the article:
cat the present time not one of these charac-
teristics is discernable. We heard nothing what
ever of the cholera as on its route from India. 1t
was first reported, quite abruptly, from Alexan-
dFia, where it ragged terribly, spreading along the
coast to Damietta, and running up the Nile to-
Giro. Then'we heard of it at Smyrna, in the
Isle of Cyprus, at Constantnople, and' in the vii
klagcs on the BosphorRs. Presently it is reported
! from Ancona, from Gihraltar and Malta, from
NarseIles, from Barcelona and from Valencia.
But IN no one these instances has it advanced
from tie coast into the interior for the case Of
! Cairo cSn hardly be considered an exception.
1t has not spread beyond Aneona, though the
! disease in that town Was very intense. Once
there was story Of its appearance in Milan, but
| that was not confirmed. 1t has not advanced be-
yond Marseilles, or beyond any Of the infected
ports on the east coast of Spain. Southern Italy
has been attacked, but only under similar en-
ditions- Cholera is last reported from San Nj
can6ro and San Severo-the former town close

are the results Of a survey Of the case up to the
present moment. The only exception is report
of tire Cholera in Haneyer, but this in profess
sional statements is reduced to rchocrne," and
is apparently only such disorder as occurs most
autumns in London. In short, upon a summary
of the evidence, we coAlc TO this, not that an
AsiatSc pestilenee. is advancing upon US across
Europe, but that there has been an extraordinary
outbreak Of the cholera in the basin Of the Medi-.
terranean. ~. =,
"This marked and special Limitation of the
epidemic may got unrc9sonably suggest to us
some hopes of,iInmunity. Within the basin Of
the Mediterranean no shore has escaped beyond
nc cholera has asappeared. TIE latest Intelligence
reports panic from Wallacha and Moldavia,
but the disease had not yet declared tselfinthose
provinces, though it is obviously probable that
/ it might creep into the Black Sea and make the
circuit Of those coasts also" -,
DISTURBANCE on ROANOKE ,IsLAND.-The
steamer Washington Irving has arrived at
Norfolk, fronl Roanoke Island, The captain
reports that on the eye of their departure
from Roanoke Island his engineer went ashore
for the mails, and when returning 10 the boat
