No report has yet been received of any serious outbreak

of Asiatic cholera in London, but it would seem that two cases have undoubtedly occurred. The patients were a man and a child just landed from Hamburg, and the child died in a house in Queen Street, Tower Hill, seven hours after the symptoms first appeared. The man, however, is recovering, and every precaution has been taken to prevent the spreading of the disease, which we repeat, on good authority, always runs down-hill, like the drainage. The attack of this year, though serious, does not appear to be of the most terrible character, as it has not followed any regular course, but appeared at once in several places. The most severe visitation yet has been in Vienna.
