New York, July 2s.-The sun says 1t Is alto
yether probable that cases Of cholera will be dis
covered any day by our quarantine officers, if
they do not appear in some Of the vessels which
reach our waters. Ab-eur@ will be remarkable,
for with cholera at Car .u & Port Said, the dis
ease must almost inevitably be carried into
Europe, whence it could be easily brought hither
by sailors. The Sun thinks there is no occasion
for alarm, even if it should appear. 1t was
easily controlled when it last visited Us, and
simple cases Of cholera have appeared from time
TO time, since which it has been confined TO
quarantine.
