THE NEW YORK HERALD. NO. 5519. MORNING E DITION----TUESDAY, JULY 17, 1849. HE PROGRESS OF THE CHOLERA, IN THIS CITY. The Sanitary Committee of this city report 168 new oases, and 56 deaths, of cholera,as having occurred dar- ‘ing the last 24 hours, SUMMARY, Cases. Deaths. Disch’d. In Centre street Hospital 8 4 7 ‘William street Hospital, 7 8 9 Blackw 18 6 o E 10 r 1 r 0 r 28 ) ae By reference to the above report of the Board of Health, it will be perceived that one hundred and fifty-eight new caves, and fifty-five deaths, by cholera, ‘have occurred in this city within the twenty-four ‘hours preceding that at which it was made, viz: twelve | o'clock, How many, in addition have occurred, we cannot tell, and will not be able to do so until the City Inspector hands in his weekly report. Ever since the epidemic broke out among us, there has been | amarked variance between the number of cases re- ported by the Board of Health and those certified to by the City Inspector, the latter, in soma cases, roach- ing seventy-five and eighty per cent more than the other. This arises from the fact that « great many of our physicians do not make any returas at all, from ome reason or other—perhaps on account of having 80 much to attend to. As an instance of the disparity ‘Detween the two returns, we have compiled the follow. ing table, showing the number of deaths, each week, sinee the cholera commenced, as reported by the Board of Health, and the aumber, each week, reported by the City Inspector : Boanp or Heautn.

It is, there- fore, clear, that all the cases of death, by cholera, are met reported to the Board of Heaith. As a great many pecple are comparing the ravages of ‘the cholera, this year, with those of the years 1332, and 1834, we publish the following table. which shows tho mumber of deaths, in the respeetive years, for eight weeks after the epidemic broke out: — 1834. 1849.

The following table will explain this satisfactorily:— 2893, Population. ..225.000 Deaths, eight weoks,.2861 1849, + ++425,000 + +1647 | According to the above table the epidemic has, thus | far at all events, not been mear so fatal in its effects as it was in 1832. In that year we had a population of two | dundred and twenty-five thousand, and the number of | deaths for the first eight weeks was 2.861; whereas in 1849, with @ population of 425 000, the deaths, for the same period, have been only 1,547. If the disease had | ‘been as bad this year as it was in 1832, the number o -deaths, instead of being only 1,647, would, in proportion ‘to the increase of population, bave reached. during the v IN THE FLATBUSH PENITENTIARY. lees than ten deaths ha’ ich are since 12 »’clock, Sunday night.

BY TELEGRAPH. Moxrarat, July 16, 1849. The cholerais returning, with fearful rapldity,among N us, The deaths in this city were, on Saturday. 45, and | it is supposed that the number yesterday was greater. ‘This terrible and sudden increase is partly to be attri- | buted to the sudden change of weather. Since the thunder storm SY Friday night last, the thermometer has stood seldom higher than 70, and often as low as 60, Prior to the storm it stood as high as 90, and occa- sionally went up to 100. ‘The Board of Health have now become so alarmed that they are afraid to publish the true report; and the consequence is that the public hear of the deaths only. ‘The cholera is also spreading to a great extent among the soldiery, Lord Elgin, it is said, has refused to allow the troops to leave the town, although requested by the medical men to do #0, In Quebeo, sad to relate, the disease has boon far more frightful than even in Montreal, the deaths ave- raging from twelve to fifteen per day. The merchants refrain from attending at their counting houses; and the concequence is that business is perfectly paralyzed, Many citizens of the first respectability have fallen a prey to this dire disease in Quebeo Atnanr, July 16—P. M. The cholera is on the increase in our city, and the Board of Health report forty-six new cases and sixteen deaths, as having occurred since Saturday, the l4th inst. Burvauo, July 16—P.

Purapecrmia, July 16, 1849. During the twenty-four hours ending at noon tc there were 39 cases and 9 deaths of cholera—exclusi of the number that may have occurred in the block- ley Alms House, the report from which has not been received. The weather is very pleasant. Puaveuena, July 16—2 P, M. The report from the Blockley Alms-House is twenty cases and fourteen deaths, making a total of fifty-nine cases and twenty-three deaths, since Sunday, Bartimone, July 16—8 P. M.
