Ealy en tha morning ofthe Sh tbe Grenadiers I _gfi ordered to march and join tbe expedition against Ae Hungarians .

f ? Snch _aessmvs _w-re indeed taken . Tbe National j ; 6 jirds frcm the _Hundstburm assembled at six o ' clock I m _msrnlEg o ? fte _Csh at the terminus of the Horth-| _jrn Railroad , from which they removed the roil ? , for the j _psrptHe of preventing the departure of the Grenadiers .

Bat this plan , too , was resisted by tbe National guards , the number of which increased with ewry _rainst _* . A birricade effidually stopped ihe march of
i I the regiments near the Tabor _Bnrge . Orders wtre l i riven for the storming of this barricade , and the War-I ; c & ce being aware of the mutinous _disposition cf tbe i i Grenadiers , several battalions of cavalry wera _ias * _rucud i i to escort them . But tha Grenadiers crossed the bridge , li ! i _issled the barricade , and fraterniied with the National Gauds . The latter deitroyed port of ths bridge , thu = > e I preventing she _csvslry from _int-nering . _Regtmmte of % I _infantry were then drawn up to reduce tbe insurgent * , : sal to enforce obedience fc > the commands of the govern .

The parties stood thus opposed to \ one another , _natil a body of workmen proceed' d to _eeixj _~ a _po-fder _wsg _^ oa end four gscs . w _* _sich they effected ivitboat any opposition from the artillerymen . Ba'this act of the insurgents gave , nevertheless , the signal for a bloody conflict .
The _Xassaa infantry fired three successive volleys , irBlch were answered by loud cheers and quick dis-|; charges £ r * m the _National _Guird ? _, the students , snd tbe \ \ _erensdiers . The S «» _sou infantry was soon forced to M retire , and , on being charged with the bayonet , their -etrogsde movement _became n dawnright flight . General FF _Bredy . their commander , was sbot . The govetamtnt H tr : ops bad twenty killed ; the insurgents five . There H wire meny wounded . ft After roatipg tie _gorerament troops , the insurgents s _carcheS from tbe suburbs into ths town , where they « placed their guns in the middle ofthe University-square ; ss the gi'ea of the town were guarded by detachments of 11 _stLdents and _National _Gaards . tbe tocsin wss sounded . _S snd a central committae formed fcr carry lag on tbe

At one o ' clock & party of tbe insurgent National Guards were attacked ou the S ! _ephons Flatz by a part ; _efXacwnal Goard ? , who stood ty the _government , tut _tftcr a short fiiht the latter were fereed to retire into fee Cathedral of St Stephen ' s , the doors of _whitii they then barricaded from witiin . But the _insnrgmls battfred down tbe doors , entered tbe church , and dislodged their sntagon _' _eu- , noose leader was killed on tbe very steps of the altar .
_Oce of the city gates , tbe _Borgbtor , _siill remained to _possession of the government troops . _Thres companies o _^ sappers and _tnicers _, with four guns , entered tbis gate et three o ' clock in tbe afternoon . They were at ence attacked and totally routed , in spite of tie grape and eanijfcr _iciiefc ihey firid frcm tleir pieces . Many of them were captured , disarmed , and confined Ib the University inildirgs . Formidable berries des were constracted wbiic this fight wss going on . Tbe old fortifications of the city were occupied by the artillery of the _National _Guards .
After this tbe tide of inturreetion rose to _anencon querable height . Tte rioters entered the _War-cificr between tbe hours cf fira and six , _se- ' zed the cannon _asi arms depos ted : ' n that _buildinr _, snd captured tbi Minister of War , Count L _' . tour . The wretched man was cocdcctedioto the s _reat , and ibea Blaia _wi'h blows from _sxes asd sledge hamtrers . The people fcire the clothes and orders frcm tbe Molding body , snd bucg the naked corpse on a gi ' cbit . where it remained suspended for a whole day , during which the _Xctional Gnardg riddled It with _tEE _= _iet balls . Count _Lstoux'a tatters were seized asd bronzht to the _Universitv .
At half-past six o ' clock there was cut one place of re . fore left for the troops and Kstional Guards « ho tided rith tha government—that _placs . was the Arsenal , fa . ecus for its trophies from tbe Turkish wars . The _pseplo surrounded the Arsenal , and demanded from the rarrison they should give np the arms which it contuned . They refused . A combat oommmced , in the course of which the garrison acepl the Renngasse wiih crape a * dcanistcr , _an & billed and disabled a greet num . ber of insurgents , whose fury increased after each _nnsuc cessful attempt to gain possession ef the building . The _csmmittee of students sent _gererol _flegs of trace , snm . menirg tbe _garrison to surrender , but the bearers were _lUtdeadontlcspot . _Thepeople then _commenced bembirding the Arsenal , and the _firlfg continued all night _* ron _« h , till six o ' clock en the merniog of the 7 th , wbeH the _gsrriion surrendered .

It it asserted that on the night of the 5 th the ' democraticBl union' had plentifully distributed money and liquors _smtnzs ttheJtwo battalion * of grenadiers , andhad secretly concerted with them tha means of arresting their departure for Hungary . Tbe movement of the students towards the railways in order to break up the commencement of tbe line was the result of a resolution to that effect , _pwstd oa the morning of the 6 th la the Hall of the Acidemy . the students vehemently declaring that the defeat of the Hungarians would ba the _sigsal for » he _oppression of tha entire _empire and its snbjsction to _militwy tyranny .

KILLED AHD WOUHSES . It Is calculated that the number of persons killed or mortally wounded on the 6 ; h and morning of the 7 tb , Is about 900 , including tbe military . THE EMPESOR . ' The Emperor , whe fled in the direction of linz , was stopped by the armed peasantry at _Sicghartskirchcn ( oab two poBt stations from Yienna ) , and sent a courier to Vienna _drmssdlfg the immediate attendance of the Minister Hornbostl to countersign the Imperial mandates .
_inVAKCE OF THI _CK 0 ATS . In the Di't on the 8 m a despatch was read from the Mayor of Pmburg , ancouncing that Jellaehich waa at _Ktrkbnrg and Alttnburg , only half a league from the city ; that he had summoned the town to capitulate , end the bridge te be re censuueted _, otherwise be fhnstld b _mbsrd the tows . Tbe despatch requested the Diet to Intercede or command Jellaehich to spare the city . After a ertat loss of time in debate , it web _reeolred to send the manifest left by the Empercr to the Ban , in wbich he announces the formation of a popular ministry , and to request him to await instructions . Tbe sif ing broke np at _half-psst seven .

VIESHA BE ILQED . On the _neeipt ofthe news of the revolution at V . ' enna , the Bm immediately broke np fciB camp et Raab and VfUelbnrg , and advanced at _oace upon Vienna . At four o ' clock on the afternoon of tbe 9 ; h dense crowds , assem . tied on the ramparts and heights of Vienna , beheld ad vaccine ; , slowly , and in good order , regiment _afterRegiment of horse and foot , the army of Jellaehich . Great was the consternation in tbe Austrian capital ; the more timid left tbe city , whilst tbe drums of the _National Que r' and Academical legion beat tbe generate through the streets calling the citiz -ns to arms . Every preparetion was made to defend the city . Tbe Hungarian army , 60 , 000 strong , and its ranks swelling as it advanced by crowd * of armed peasantry , was only fonr _hagnes behind the Ban , urged on by the determined Kossuth , and commanded by General _Moga , who beat back the Croats at _Stahlweisscnburg .
Viessa _, Oct . 9 th . —This mrrniog the deputy Prsdo wbb _s-nt by tbe Diet to Jellachlcb _' s camp _. Four o'CIock . — . The whole city is ia commotion . Je lachich ' s army is reported io be in eight , frcm the towers of tte city , at a distance ef two or tbree hours ' march , at Etnrsdorf . The drams are beating in the f au . bonrgs _, and preparations are being made fer the defence of the city . Every man is harrying to his p . st . In a few hours our fate may be decided . At twelve at night oa tit 9 th the alarm was beaten , as it was said tbat the watch-fires oE _Auersperg _' s troops bed bsea _ex'irjgaiGhed , and t surprise wat feated The _avennei to the university were immediately covered with c & nnon , as was also the bastions and the gates . Nothing of the nature actl . cipated took place however , and at half-past ten in the
morning of the 10 th the _precautiocs were relaxed . A guard who approscbed too near the camp wss taken and d -armed by some ef _Auerspers ' s men , end shot without the count ' s knowledge . The bodies of three olviliaus were fcund drowned in a reTghbourirg _censl . Tbey had been murdered by the soldiery on approaching tbe camp . Kossuth , at the bead of 70 , 000 troops , wes close at hand ; fifteen steamers on the Danube were conveying ia all baste his advance guard to tbe capital , which stood with open arms ready to receive him . A great quantity of guns and ammnnit ' . on , _sentby _Windischgra ' z to Jfcl acbicb , were intercepted and brought into Vienna , Vieska , Oct . 10 . —Jellaehich _jesterdty crossed the Austrian frontier . His army mnst bave suffered _tevrely .
Tbt Diet immediately sent a _Ofpnfation to him to _demand tbe object of bis approach to _Vjpbbb . The dc _. pu ' e ' . ion met the B _^ b at his bead-quarters at Scb waderf ( midway between _Bruch . c . _n-lhe-I * i * . ha end Vienna . ) The van guard , wti : h was a league In advance , con * sisted ef a metley crowd , tattered and ragged , without shoes os tbeir feet . In tbe head querters regular miliiry were interspersed with other men , ell in a wretched condition . The Ban _recdved the deputation ' amicab ' y , expressed _hlnuelfpescerbVy , bnt at tbe same time erastvtly—viz ., tha * . with regard to Hntgsryhe wss not under the Diet _; rut with regard to the whole monarchy , he wonld obey in _toto tbe scmm & nds of his _Msj'sty . In _conscience of this declaration , the Diet continued * rti precautionary measures .
Ome o'clock , p . m . —Nut only have 8 OOOmuskets , wbich _WudiecVgre ' z waa sending to _Jellaehich , been ju * t seized at tbe Custom House , but last night a similar convoy , consisting of firms , wss seized and taken to the _srie & al . This wss occasioned by a hsppy IncHent . One ofthe conductors lost the bill of lading , as this supply waB being taken to _Jslachicb , throogh tho Wledner . road _, during the _n-iht . Half-past Three . —An Immense crowd Is harrying to the Imperial Arsenal for arms . It appears that the Diet , which has already put a stop to tbe distribution , has again conceded it . Waggons are be'ng loaded with arms and taken to the district commanders in the _fanoourgr . Arms are also being sent to tbe villeges beyond the lines .
Pive . —At this moment cannon are again _bring drawn up in all tbe great squares , and two at every gate . Although the city is now cleared of the barricades which impeded the communication , tbs gates , wbich had been partly opened , ore again closed . _Half-p'St Six . —No change of importance has taken place ia the state of things . The Democratic Union bag formed a committee , calling upen the inhabitants of the country to com ? forward . It ia likely to be very effectual . Fifteen hundred _Stjrion volunteers have jnst entered the city . The Allgeheibe _Zeitdkg , ia a supplement dated Vienna , the 9 th last ., says : — ' The right wing of Jellaehich , under General Roth , has been beaten by the Mag . yars under Pcrezl ; and Roth , together with his whole staff , an * 2 , 000 Croatians , haTe been taken prisoners . * The Hungarian main army , _unier Kossuth , entered _Welsselberg , 70 , 080 men strong .
Tbe Diet has received a notification that 15 , 000 Magyars are embarking at Presbnrg , for the purpose of aiding the inhabitints of Vienna . National Guards from _Bruon , Badeu , _Voslaw , and the surrounding provinces , are en . taring tho capital . There era not more than 2000 men at _Scawadorf , chiefly irregular troops . Auersperg is Slid to have receiv ed reinforcements from Linz . A port _' _oaof his troep * are quartered in the Wieden faubonrg . To uadeistand thi » , It m * y be as well to state that the inner town er citadel of Vienna Is strongly fortified , and is separated from the { faubsnrgs , of whioh tbere are thirty-four , by a deep ditch , a wall forty feet high , with eleven bastions , and the glacis or large plain . There are twelve gates with drawbridges from the Inner city to the glacis . The usual garrison of Vienna is 20 , 000 men .
In the sitting of the Diit , at neon , en the 10 th , Sch «* eika , as reporter of the provisional committee , staed : —' The night was quiet : it was reported that considerable bodies of troop 3 wera approaching Vienna from every side , and the committee could with difficulty restraia the armed burghers from making an attack up . on the troops . ' At this sittisg the Diet passed resolutions to tbe following effect : —The Diet which , asa constituent one , cannot be dissolved before the fulfilment ofits mission , resolves under present _oircnmstanciB net to separate , but to remain true to its duty ; the Diet represents all the nations of Austria which have elected it ; itis tbe oaly constitutional and legal organ between the constitutional monarch and the _b & tebiiqs _JfeePiB , for the preservation ofthe unincumbered liberty of tbe people aad the hereditary tbr « o _< -.
Tbe Diet eu ' _fscqnestly Issued an address ta the pOiple , setting forth that the Diet , in unison with the people of Vienna had endeavoured , during the first moments of 6 th of October , to oppose reactionary as well _asansrchial principles ; that it bad declared itself permanent ; oppointed a committee for the preservation of order ; sent a _depatatioa to tha Emperor in order to falsi , in unison with bim , the wishes ofthe sovereign people ; _tsathis H-jeity bad been graciously pleased to accede to the demsnd for a new and popnlar ministry , bat that on the 7 th he bad taken tbe _deeply-to-be-regretted resolution to remove from tbe _vieinityof the capital Tbe proclamation adds that thereby tbe freedom and welfare of Fatherland are endangered ; and that it is necessary for the people of Vienna and of Austria in general to manifest the tame spirit of moderation that they eviccid ia _Msy last . It concludes by announcing that Dobbmof , _Horabostel , and Krans bave beenap . pointed ministers .
STATE OF _VlEStKA OH TH « _UIQHT OH THE 10 lH , Vienna , Oct . 11 . —LaBt tight wss without doubt the most distracted which the city of Vienna has endured since is bombardment by Nspeleon iu 1809 . In tbe s ' reets till early dawn nothing was seen but armed men , _whadther singly or in small Irregular bodies , or in regnlated companies were marching in solemn silence at a measured pace . At the comers of the streets , and the o ? en sqaares , and in front of the coffeehouses , itood sombre groupa In animated _csnvusatlon _, or in violent altercation , fiver ? bow aad then single shots were fired ,
~I ~ "^Rnm( )I[J3 ^ Ict0rt Op Thb People...
especially in the Wiedm and the _Landatrasse , which aroused tbe attention of all , Behind , aud upoa the barricades , armed _blousemeu were gathered round the watchfires and among whom were women and girls , scattered , seme sleeping upon heaps of stones , others _laujMng , and roaming noisily about . The ramparts and _baetlons of the city ia particular tad a most animated appearance , watchfire joked watchfire , each sur _* winded b y a motley group ; legionaries in tbe ka _! aureases , workmen in their _slejves , and National _Gasrds . Above the gates are mounted cannoo , weibh . _ppmmana the entrance to the city ; beside them were * burning torches , borne by the burgher artillery , scattered _aoadcmlciaus , or workmen ; closs b _$ were ranged whole companies armed with every kind of _weaporr , whose patrols marched up and down , keeping guard , with muskets or rifles , or carbines or p'ke 9 in their hands . In this _uviuner from 8 , 000 to 19 000 men were stationed on the ramparts ,
Meanwhile tbe Diet , the Cemmonal Council , the Central Committee of the Democratic Union , aad tho Supreme Command of tbe National Gaard remained in _p-rmrnence . The attention of all was fixed upon the csntrhl ' pointf—up _9 n the * ai : itarycampin theScbwarrsnberg garden , from whence asu _^ dtn attack of the city is apprehended , and upon _Jsllschloh with his army , or , rather , his scattered hordes . In regard to both the most contradictory reports ore _ftill afbst ; . _i With regard to the amount of the troops assembled in tbe camp between the Wieden and
Landstrasse , the number ef the combined masses ef the troops has been considerably increased by the reinforcement of all the bodies ef troops in the neighbourhood of the city . Aooording to perfectly anthentio accounts , the following divisions are concentrated in the eamp : —Tbrre battalions of tbe regiment Nassau , Poles ; two battalions of the regiment Blanla , Poles ; two battalions of the regiment _Khevenhulier , Cz'chs ; oae battalion of ths regiment Stephen , Galliclans ; one battalio n of the r * glment Leopold , Bohemians ; one battalion of grenadiers , Germans aBd Bohemians ; nine companies of pioneers ; one division of _sappera aud miners ; two cemplete regiments of cavalry ; six _fcst-eries of cannon ( small bottifz _.-rs and beavy arffilerr ) ; one battalion of Jagers , who onl y returned this sight from escorting the Emperor to Schoenbran .
ThepoBltion of these troops , which probably emount to from fifteen thousand to twenty thousand men , is a perfectly secure one for an attack , on wbich account all hurried plans for au Immediate attack by the _arttuVry of tbe arsenal , by tho students and National Guards , can meet with nothing but disapprobation from every one acquainted with military tactics . Nevertheless , for a permanency the present _pisitlon io quits untenable . The military is wedged in between tho _Scbwarzenberg gardens asd the districts of Belviders , is cut off from the city , and surrounded by hostile faubourgs , and as soon as tbe wet weather _seis in , which it actually did at four o ' clock this afternoon , they must be _disorganized . The outposts ofthe ramp extend es far as Karlshircbe , on the one side , and on the other to tbe _Mtazlien-dorfer line . On the Wieden the most _scaadalons excess ? s are
committed by tbeir outposts and single patrols . Last night no leBB than six cases were _notified , in wbich qnlet passengers some armed and others unarmed , burghers and students , had been sbot by tbo _sea _' . inela and soldiers . This morning several corpses were taken out of tbe canal in the Widen , which were more or less wounded or _mutlla'ed , and the greater part quite naked and completely plundered . The Di-t sent oae negoclatlon after another to General Auersperg , who , however , gave nothing bnt evasive answers , snd maintained that be was imperfectly acquainted with tbe facts , and tbat , on the whole , it was impassible for him to be responsible for the actions bf individual soldiers under existing _oitcumstance * . Prem this we see that a . certain
demoralisation his already appeared amor g thea . We are also informed that the -oldler- , _officers , as well as privates , were dissatisfied with _General _Auersp-rg , end with his conduct ; and all eyes are now naturally turned npon Prince Felix Schwarz * nberg , The public opinion in the city , iu regard to these troops , is various . The more resolute are determined upoa an attack at any cost , in order that their number may not be increased by _contlnued new arrivals . The moderate are merely for a defensive position .

The military at Vienna withdrew with snch _preolplta . _tich from its position in the _Schwerxmbirggarten _, tbat they left a great number of uniforms , books , and weapons . This flight of the military was supposed to have chit fly been occasioned by the spirit of _lusubotdlna . tion pervading the _German regiments , who did not like to fight against their countrymen . Some _frightfully ' mutilated bjdies were found In the deserted camp of Auersperg . One of them was conveyed by the people to the front of the Parliament house from which several of the members came out In order to look upan the melsneholy spectacle . Amongst them was Schuselka , who , after gazlrg with emotion on the disfigured corps * , exclaimed , _« Swear , brothers , that you will not abandon one iota of freedom or ef popular rights even if ail of us must suffer _ihis death .

Each garden is subdivided into smaller allotment !) , whioh are assigned to their respective tenants , boys from ten to fourteen . _veara old , who cultivate and . orop them acoording to their own fancy , a small portion of eaoh _haing devoted to Sowers . The diligence aud ability displayed by these youthful gardeners is really astonishin ; . Wo have _inspeoted their crops during several past summers , and with truth oan say we were highly delighted . with them . The onions , lettuce ,
celery , carrots , potatoes , & o „ were excellent , and would vie with the productions of older and more experienced cultivators . Prize gooseberries are also grown , and thia year the crops of London , Companion , Gunner , Eagle , _dso ., were amongst the best we have ever seen , either at Nottingham or elsewhere ; in fact , these boys always endeavour to obtain , either of seeds or plank , the , best varieties possible .

An Old _Tbiok is a Nbw Wat . —Daring thep-esent week , the following circumstance haa been the general topio of conversation in the village of _Horton . On Thursday week , one of the inhabitants , who has long boasted of _superior wit and wisdom , and who , in his trading transactions has always exhibited a _considerable degree of jealousy and suspicion , took it into his head to attend the fair which is held annually at Wib ? ey . He had not been long on the ground before he was accosted in a familiar style by a protended ' old friend , ' who offered him 10 * . if he wenld purchase for him a horse , which he pointed out to him . The _prospeot of snugly pocketing the half-sovereign induced this sapient individual to comply with his request . The stipulated price waa to be £ li . and no more , and after a great deal of bantering the bargain was struck at that sura oxaotly . The purchaser not being possessed at that
moment with the means of paying for it , aad his friend' not being just then at hand , ho prooeeded to Horton , and borrowed three five pound notes , with whioh he proceeded to Wibsey . The horse-dealer was readily found , and as readily was the money paid . Another man ( evidently an accomplice ) was then _requested to go and deliver him the horse , but upon going to the stable , the animal could nowhere be found . He then returned to the place where he had left the horse-dealer , and discovered that he also had decamped . Filled with vexation irad chagriii at being thus defrauded of both his horse and the money , he flew to the place where he had appointed to meet his ' friend , ' and alas ! to his additional grief , he found that he also had deceived him , and'made himself scarce _; ' and , as aolim ' ax to the whole , the sovereign he had received in change out of the notes , _upsn examination , turned out to be a counterfeit .

In the _eveniaj- tho vicar
announced that thero had been some mistake with respeot to the notice given out inthe morning , but that the sermon would nevertheless be preached and the oolleotion made . The olerk was further seen _afterwards to be looking at a piece of paper ;; the curate bent over his deBk , and asked if he had any notice to give out , and what it was . Tho olerk replied that _hehad" -andwhat itwas—and that the vicar > hsd ordered him to give it out . Whereupon the ourate forbade the olerk to comply with the orders of the vicar at his ( the clerk ' s ) peril . The curate's mandate was obeyed .

On Tuesday , another convict on board the Just ilia died—making nine deaths in all since the commencement of the due ise . There were no deaths on Wednesday , but several fresh attacks ; and there is the utmost difficulty in persuading the men to attend to the first attacks _^ of the disease , many of them having bean labouring under diarrhcaa for some daya before seeking medical advice .

We have received the following details of the sue * _cessful treatment of a case of oholera from Mr _M'Cann _, of Parliament-street : — ' ' . The ease oocurred in my private practice , and was _alsa visited by the medioal commissioner of the Board of Health . Mr John Cammack , aged 23 , a student of King ' s Col . lege , residing at No . 8 , Surrey-street , Strand , of regular habits , and having all the necessary comforts of life around him , went to bed in perfect hea'tb . on Wednesday night the llth inst ., and slept until six o ' clock next morning , when he was awakened by a painful sensation of twisting and cramps in the
stomach and bowels . These were goon followed by severe purging of a watery fluid . The crarrps in * croesed , with great prostration , until eight o'clook , when purging to a greater extent returned , The patient of his own accord called for hot brandy and water , aud , as he felt intensely cold , he ordered that a fire should be lighted . Being the son of a medical man and conversant with medicine , he sent but for and had prepared , a chalk mixture with tinoture of opium , of which he took two doses ; these , for a time , arreated the purging , but the extreme weakness continued with nausea . At seven o ' clock the
same evening he was seized with a severe vomiting , and a burning pain and cramps in the _stsmaoh , and brought up a large quantity of fluid of a light grueily colour . The lady , in whose house he re « _side 3 , becoming alarmed at the very marked change in his appearance sent for me . On my arrival , I found him Buffering the most intense pain with choleric spasm , and his countenance , presenting that peculiar look wbich attends cholera ; the pulse almost _imperosplible atthe _tsr ' st ; the whole body icy cold . I immediately administered the formula of pills , such as I stated in my evidence before theBanitary commissioners , ' viz ,, _oatomel _, 5 grains ; opium , 2 grains ; and a draught , composed of tincture of opium , tincture of catechu , tincture of ginger , aromatic spirit of ammonia ( of each 20 ] minimB ) , tincture of capsicum , 10 minima * , and peppermint water , 10 drachms . I then applied
mustard poultices to his _Btomsoh , and bottles of wa _< ter . _tohis extremities , and ordered frictions , with extra blankets . Twenty or thirty minutes having chpsed after taking the pill and draught , reaction begah to take place , and he described bis sensation to be that of a general glow pervading the system . I repeated the draught twice in the course of the night , and eaw him again early _, iu the morning of Friday , when I found him much improved , although his tongue was furred , and other febrile symptoms were beginning to exhibit themselves . The usual remedies for consecutivef ever were resorted to , and the patient , I am _haspy to say , is oat of danger , and I trust , in ft few days , will be able to resume his studies . I may add , that on Sunday , the 10 th inst ,, I had a Bimilar case , and have adopted the same treatment with equal _aueo-. & 9 . '—Daily News .
The Board of Directors of the General Dispensary , _Aldersgate-street , have made arrangements to receive patients at the institution , wbo will meet with immediate attention from the medical officora in cases of severe dixrrhcei . It appears from the return of deaths registered in the metropolis , during the week ending on Saturday , the 14 th October , that the total number of deaths from oholera , including , of course , the Asiatio form of that fearful malady , lm been only thirty . By this return we learn that the total number of deaths registered during the week , was very much under the average , namely , 991 . In the last five autnmes an average of 1 , 151 deaths having been registered , loaves n balance in favour of last week dl 63 . . -.
The arrival of the Asiatio cholera cannot , therefore , be said to have as yet added materially to the bills of mortality , nor , if we look , the evil fairly in the _faos , does it appear to beofsuohmagnitn . de as to justify the apprehensions with whioh its advent has been regarded . Four of the cases of Asiatio cholera occurred on board the hulks off Woolwioh , and the whole of the remainder of deaths bo described happened either on the river or in the eastern parts of town contiguous to the river . Everything , however , whioh bas occurred with respeot to the appearance of this disease in this country proves that there is nothing of a _coctagieus nature combined with it . During the eame week it appears from the return that consumption has killed ninety-six , and typhus fever eighty , and yet these scourges excite comparatively little ofthe terror with whioh oholera is regarded .
