There is a cholera panic at Toulon, where ten deaths

from cholera occurred on Sunday, five on Monday, and six on Thurs- day,—the medical authorities being by no means agreed as to whether it be Asiatic cholera, or cholera of a local type not likely to spread to other districts. There is no doubt that it is cholera with some Asiatic characteristics, and that the deaths occur very soon after the attack begins ; and it is generally attributed to the arrival of transports from China, together with the horrible condition of Toulon as regards the disposal of the drainage of that city. There has also been a case or two of cholera at Marseilles, but as yet nothing like an outbreak.
