Bermondsey and Southwark still preserve their unfortunate pre- eminence. Of the 227 cases remaining last night, 112 are in these two quarters.

Yesterday's ratio of cases is about 1 to 30,000, and of deaths about 1 to 60,000! The en- tire number of cases, since the commencement of the diseases has been as 1 to 1,000; and the entire number of deaths as 1 to 2,000. So much for contagion versus common sense!
