PROGRESS OF THE CHOLERA.

The disease, in London, advances very slowly. Yesterday, for the first time since the issuing of the official reports, the number of reco- veries was greater than the number of deaths, and to the cases there was no actual addition. In Southwark, the excess of recoveries over deaths was considerable, and the diminution of cases great. In an ex- cellent little treatise on the Haddington cases, to which we may recur, a remission of the disorder there, is connected with a change of the weather from cold to comparatively mild. We do not know how far the advance of the season may be connected with the changes in yester- day's report, or how long the favourable symptoms may continue. We shall watch them. The people of Covent Garden had a meeting on Thursday. The doctor has not been able to find a patient, but some of the worthies of the parish were very anxious to find an hospital,—ex- pecting, perhaps, on the well-known principle of demand and supply, that the hospital prepared, the patients would come. The meeting did not entertain the same liberal views, and the scheme fell to the ground. Of the Volunteer Board we have yet heard nothing. When are they to make their report ? The following is yesterday's list of cases for London and the vicinity.

From the Country, the accounts continue favourable. The report of Thursday gave a return, from certain collieries round Newcastle, in which there appear 60 recoveries and not a single death. The people of Paisley, a few days ago, had a fumigation over the whole town : the result of that, or some more general cause, has been salutary--only 9 cases remain. The cases out of London, by yesterday's reports, were 76.
