The cholera has been severe this week both in Madrid

and Paris. In the former city the deaths rose to 175 a day and the seizures to 570, and 80,000 persons emigrated, but by the latest accounts the disease was departing, the deaths having decreased to 33. In Paris the Government, though it has at last acknowledged the existence of the epidemic, still declines to publish any statistics, but the estimate, based on hospital returns and reports from physicians, is about 200 a day. If this is even approximately true, the outburst in Paris has been much less severe than in Madrid, and it appears, moreover, as usual in very great European cities, to be confined to particular districts. No additional alarm has been expressed in London, where the weather is rapidly, becoming cold.
