The reports of yesterday give, for Ireland, new cases, 272 ; deaths, 128; recoveries, 179. The total cases in England and Scotland, since the commencement of the disease, are 52,472; deaths, 19,047. The eases remaining yesterday amounted to 2,309. In the Metropolis, though seine marked individual attacks have taken place of late, the' disease is decidedly declining. Within the last three or four clays, hardly any new cases have occurred. We noticed in our second edition last week, the death of Mr. Godwin, son of the author of Caleb Williams, .which took place on Saturday morning. Since then, we have to notice the death of Mr. C. Calvert, the Member for Southwark, from an attack of the same disease. Mr. Culvert Was in Suffolk, enjoying the sports of the field, when he was attacked. The symptoms of the disease were first perceived on Friday afternoon, after a day's hunting; he died next day. Mr. Calvert, it may be recollected, at two meetings of the Covent Garden fruit- sellers, stated that he had continued to eat freely, as he had always done, of fruit and vegetables, and yet his health remained unimpaired.

Martin, the noted informer, was seized, also last week, while riding on :t Liverpool coach between that town and Birmingham, and died before the coach reached the end of the stage.

At the meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates on Thursday, it was stated, that in the House of Correction there had been 116 confirmed Cases, and 171 where. the premonitory symptoms only occurred ; that out of these there had been 29 deaths, 242 recoveries, and that 1.5 were under treatment. Mr. Botch spoke at considerable •length on the subject of the saline treatment recommended by Dr. Stevens. He had, he said, inquired into its efficacy at numerous hospitals: • he found that it had been very rarely adopted, although, where adopted, it had been eminently successful— In Liverpool he had found that thevhad not tried it at all ; and in Manchester, at the only hospital which he had visited (the principal one), he had but found a single case where the course of treatment recommended by Dr. Stevens had been adopted ; and on that case a dispute arose between. the medical attendants, as to whether the treatment had been successful or otherwise,—one party assert- ing a recovery, and the other that death had ensued ; but on reference to the books, the mystery was solved, and it was shown that • the treatment had been successful, and that the patient had recovered. In Warrington, he had also found that the success of Dr. Stevens's mode of treatment was most complete, and equally so in the town of Lancaster.

The Inverness Courier gives a terrible picture. of the disease in the small village of Inver, near Tain ; where, of about 140 persons, 90 were attacked, and no fewer than 40 died in the course of a few days. So great was the mortality, that it was impossible to procure coffins for the dead; and in one instance, eleven bodies were buried without even a shroud, six in one hole and five in another. The few inhabitants that the cholera spared fled from their houses, as from a place assailed by an enemy, taking with them nothing but the clothes they were wearing.

The disease has made its appearance at Boulogne, where its ravages are very alarming; and it is now admitted that it has paid a second visit to Cronstadt.
