The Kingston Morning Journal has the subjoined account of the progress of the cholera :—
‟The Northside papers brought by Saturday’s Post announce the continuance of the ravages of cholera in Savanna-la-Mar and the parish of Westmoreland, as also in Green Island and Hanover. In Westmoreland the disease has attacked with equal virulence and irresistible fatality persons of all classes. Up to Saturday, the 5th, there had been buried from Savanna-la-Mar, in the cholera-ground, 115, from Dunbar’s river and the neighbourhood 45, and on Sunday night there were six burials, making a total of 166; besides which two new cases were reported on Sunday, and two on Monday, and the hospitals were full. Mr. Davidson, the assiduous superintendent of the hospital, is among the victims. Dr. Mason and Dr. Adolphus are unceasing in their attendance in Savanna-la-Mar, the latter gentleman having recovered from an attack of the malady. Dr. Sunderland, from Saint Elizabeth’s, is actively engaged on Petersfield, Carawina, and Ferris’s estates, on the last of which the disease has committed great havoc. Dr. Murphy is said to be combating the disease very successfully in the leeward district of the parish, as is also Dr. Parkin in the Morgan’s-bridge and Glasgow district. Dr. Potts, who also, according to the Cornwall Chronicle, has been very useful in saving the lives of many, is reported to be about returning to Lucia.”
