PROGRESS OF CHOLERA.

The cases that have occurred during the week are scattered over so large a surface, and are, comparatively, so few in number, that after preparing a table exhibiting them as set forth in the daily reports, we have thrown it aside, as nearly nine tenths of it would consist of blank spaces. At Limehouse, where the disorder broke out, there remained on Saturday one case, which proved fatal on that day ; there has been 339 new one. At Rotherhithe, there was also one fatal case on Satur- day, and no other during the week. In these two spots, for the time at least, cholera is extinct. At Poplar, there was one death on Tuesday, and another on Thursday ; one case remains. In Westminster, there have been 4 cases reported ; 2 of which proved fatal, 1 recovered, and I still remains. In Christchurch, Surly, 4 cases occurred on Thursday, and 3 yesterday ; 2 have died, and 5 remain. In Marylebone, one case • occurred on Tuesday, which still remains in the reports. In Chelsea, there have been 3 cases, and 2 deaths ; 1 still remains. In Lambeth, the cases are 2, and the deaths 2. One of the deaths, which occurred on Monday, was that of a person reported on Friday ; there is still I ease remaining. In Bermondsey, there have been 10 cases, and 6 deaths. In St. Giles's, 13 cases, 5 deaths, and 2 recoveries. In St. Pancras, 3 cases, and 3 deaths. In Newington Butts, 14 cases, 8 deaths, and 3 recoveries. In Whitechapel, 5 eases, and 4 deaths. In Bethnal Green, I case. The only places which exhibit a continued and formidable array is Southwark, where there have been 42 cases, 27 deaths, and 4 recoveries ; and Afloat on the River, where there have been 10 cases, and 7 deaths. Both of these places have offered slew cases every day. We give yesterday's report at length—

The deaths, it will be seen, are in fearful -proportion to:the reco- veries; a fact that we have no way of reconciling to the character of' the disease elsewhere, but by supposing that only the desperate cases are reported,—or that none hut persons so shattered in constitution, or of so dissipated habits, or so miserable circumstances, have yet been attacked, as to afford either nature or medicine fair scope. We ratheri n- cline to the former theory, though perhaps both are in some degree true. It seems almost incredible, whether we regard the cholera as epidemic or as contagious, that it should have exhibited itself in fifteen different and distant points of a metropolis of a million and a half of inhabitants, and in the course of three weeks have affected only 150,—that is, only one in ten thousand of the population.
