PAE CHOLERA.

The disease which haa been eprating death and desolation throughout Egypt, av js now on the march, by a North Westere course, » tough Eurcpe, seems to have taken its rise ina cy oaratively small mass of pu- tridity in Egypt or a“'* Minor. The origin was contemptibly insignificant compared with the awful consequences produced. Lhe little cloud no larger than a man’s hand hag extended its limits until it embraces’ the whole heavens. The latest advices show that the cholera had reached Ancona in I[taly ; it had been in Malta and is now at Gibraltar. It is expected in France, and all Paris was in consternation. The English authorities are preparing for its reception. The Privy Council, through their Lord President, have addressed a circular to all the outports aad some of the towns in Britain. The President states that, according to the latest informa- tion, the cholera is on the decline, yet he points out the extreme importance of guard- ing against its approach. Says the Londva Daily Telegraph : “ It is not deemed necessary, however, to sub- ject to the restrictions of quarantine such vessels as come from the countries in which the malady is prevalent; por iu the preseut state of things, dv we think that so serious an interference with the interests of trade is requisite. But the Privy Couceil most wisely cuggests that provision should be made in every port for the gratuitous reeep- tion and medical treatment of any seawen who jamay, on their arrival, be suffering fron cholera. (If no such accommodation should await theis, they are sure, in the words of the circular letter, to seek an asylum in the low and dirty lodgin houses of our seaport towns; and once todene there, the disease is certain to radiate towards | districts in which there would be otherwise little or po danger of its breaking out. ‘The lanes and the alleys of our Sarge cities are at all times the botbeds of epidemics, and it is to them we must | epecially look on the present occasion. There is | no time to lose; those which have not been rigor- | ously inspected already should undergo a minute | scrutiny without delay. ‘This is no season for
