@ Ss ( DEATHS BY CHOLERA. 70 Official returnsre- ceived in the Bureau of Statistics at Wash- ington, show that in England and Wales, during the quarter of year ending Octo- Der 1st, 1866, there were 10, ,365 deaths from cholera. In the United States, according to official returns gathered by the same bu- reau, there were during the four months ending December 1st, lO,8O5 deaths.
 Of this number, 2, 3,532 were in the city of St. Louis alone-more than third of the whole mortality from cholera in the Uni- ted States happening thus in single city, and that only the eighth in point of popu- lation in the country a In New York there were 1,1S9 deaths from cholera; in Philadelphia, S34; in Sa- vannah, 231; in New Orleans, 132; in Rich- mond, 164; in Vicksburg, 21O; in Memphis, 999; in Louisville, 152; in Chicago, SIS; in the army station at Richmond, Va, 99; at Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, 149, and at Tybse island, Ga., 90. 5.,.p '..e These were the principal places visited by the disease.
 The United States returns are from fifty. three of the principal cities and towns, and from the post commanders and hospitals of the United States army. They are belisv- ed to show nearly the whole mortality from cholera in this country, and afford an in. teresting comparison with the mortality re- turns from the same disease in England and Wales. '- a The fact that these returns were all gath. cred by MT. Delmar, chief of the Bureau of Statistics, within six weeks, reflects cred. 1t upon his management of the new Bu- reau, and upon the mayor and other off, cers of the city, who so quickly furnished reports upon the request of the bureau. {. -----------
