The ravages of the cholera at Kiiaigsberg appear to be

fearful. In the week eutied last Saturday the fatal oases had risen to 80 per cent. of the attacks. In all the Baltic provinces, out of 2,601 cases, 1,273 had died, 620 hid recovered, and 708 were still doubt- ful, still under treatment. This is equivalent to a death-rate of over 50 per cent., but Kiinigsberg, as we have seen, has in the last week been losing 80 per cent. of the persons attacked, so that the disease seems increasing in virulence. We also hear of cholera as having broken out in Constantinople. In England there seems to be as yet no reason for alarm, though a case or two has occurred in a vessel (at Hartlepool) which had brought the infection from Hamburg.
