133 , 399 ,, 644 , and 72 &; The deaths from diarriicea last week were 192 . In comparing the mortality from cholera in London with the deaths from the disease in other . places , 'the population , and vast extant , of the metropolis-must betaken into account . The subjoined figures show that cholera has prevailed with . great irregularity over London , and that in several sub-districts the ravages of the epidemic are inconsiderable . Imperfect drainage , proximity to the dii-tiest parts of the Thames , bad water , and poverty , are still , as they . wqEe an 1849 , Ihe chief circumstances that make chpleca fiital .

Improved arrangements are : at the sanie time suggested that might induce competent men . to offer . 5 ower is also
proposed to be given to ; the Government to preverit emigrant ships from leaving ports where cholera or , other dangerous epidemics prevail , aud , in case of any exception ibeing permitted ,, the vessel is at all . events to be required to carry a surgeon , even though tlie' number < of paesengers inay be below 300 . It . is likewise considered that every vessel bringing , em | gi : ttnts ^ across tbe'Irjsh Channel for embarkation . should be compelled to protect , them from the ^ WfiiitlieiT . At present ^ on board t , he & e boats the cattle . and live . atomic . are screened , while the deck passengers are left without shelter of any Mod , and often arrive in a state that lays the foundation of permanent disease , In reference to space it is
recommended that no ship should give teas than fourteen feet in the between decks to eaeh epvgrunt , and the committee likewise refer fx > th . e 9 pinion of Ailrs . .

It is further considered that it might be an advantage if masters were bound , under penalty , to put back in . those cases where vessels are found to be unsafe for a long voyage before losing sight pf laud , and that it should be rendered compulsory pn o-wjoers and charterers to uesort in the fullest niAW ^ tr to all the means in use for testing . the cQinpassea Finally , the committee make some general observa tions respecting the regulations necessary with regard to lodging-houses , & c , the capacity and readiness of boats and the other appliances for saving 4 ife , and also as to the desirableness of carrying the requisite supply of water ii \ uietal casks .
