Season.

NEW YORK, August 1G.-Adyices
from London state that fatal cases Of
cholera had appeared on three steamers
from Constadt to Hull, but the English
authorities were taking every means to
prevent It's introduction to the ships
among their ports. Yesterday dispatches
were received here announcing two fatal
cases Of cholera ia Paris. Members Of
the Health Department in this city think
there is httie probability Of cholera
visitation to this country this year. One
physician says he no longer considers
the cholera a matter Of American inter
est, as it has been lurking about Europe
tor years, while VIC have escaped.
