The number of eases remaining yesterday was only 21.
In the Country, there remain 20 in England, and 143 in Scotland. Two cases have appeared during the week at St. Ives, and two at Hull. In Scotland, Edinburgh, Greenock, and Alloa, are now the chief suf- ferers. In the first, there are 40 cases ; in the second 28; and in the third 29. In Glasgow, only 14 remain. In Dublin, by Monday's re- port, the new cases were 94, the deaths 20, the recoveries 30, remaining 161; being an increase of 44 on the previous day's report.
The only novelty of treatment, which the week has presented, is a statement of Mr. Wakefield, the surgeon of Coldbathficlds, who has found the Seidlitz powders of great value ; out of 94 cases, he has only lost 3. Some of the cases were very bad ones. A case of cure in the Borough, by means of the common effervescing draught, was reported some weeks ago, and excited no attention.
