The cholera has been making sad ravages among the inhabitants

of Red- ruth in Cornwall, where the disease broke out with great virulence a few weeks since. The epidemic is confined chiefly to the dirtiest parts of the town, where the greatest want of sanitary regulations is apparent. The town has been divided into five districts, which undergo domiciliary inspec- tion daily by competent medical officers. The returns to the 13th instant report 80 fatal cases, mostly among the poor, and the disease was then slightly on the decline.

At Dundee the cholera has abated. The accounts published yesterday in the Dundee Advertiser give the deaths on Tuesday as 1, and on Wednes- day as 2. The total of deaths since the outbreak is 284.
