MEDICAL Tour IN THE EAST.—Mr. Linton, deputy-inspector of hospitals, and another medical officer are at present making a tour of inspection in Bulgaria and Roumelia. HOSPITAL SERVICE.—On Wednesday last, about 300 out- pensioners arrived in Woolwich garrison, preparatory to enlbarking for hospital service in Turkey. They have been organized into four companies. HOSPITALS IN CANDIA.—There is no truth in the report which has appeared in some of the papers to the enect that Colonel Rose, so well known for the important part taken by him at the commencement of the Eastern question, has left Constantinople for Canclia, to organize the hospitals in that island. THE WEATHER AT GALLIPOLL—The weather is very severe at Gallipoli, and the troops under canvas, are suffering con- siderably from its inclemency, officers as well as privates. There are at present about 5,000 English, and 20,000 French soldiers in the town and neighbourhood. MEDICAL STORES.-A letter from the theatre of war, pub- lished in the Vienna Lloyd, says, that a demand from Cherson has arrived at Bucharest, requiring medicines and medical stores to be sent there for the use of 3000 patients, who are now distributed among the hospitals in that place. THE WouNDED. -In consequence of the wounds which have been received, in the various combats near Silistria, there had arrived at Bucharest, up to the 24th of April, two colonels, four majors, 430 privates and non-commissioned officers, and about thirty other officers, all of whom were placed in the already over-crowded hospitals of that city. A military trans- port of 2000 men will shortly leave Bucharest, where it has been collecting from the various stations. In addition to the men required for the convoy, it consists only of crippled or maimed soldiers, most of whom have lost one of the upper or lower extremities. THE supplemental vote for army estimates on account of the war, includes a sum of £30,000 for medicine and medical stores. THE CHOLERA. The cholera, which has exhibited a gradual diminution, has now, there is every reason to hope, disappeared from Leeds. THE members of the Darlington Board of Health have e resolved, (in anticipation of the return of cholera,) to recom- mence the house-to-house visitation, which was found to be so beneficial during the presence of the epidemic last year. EDINBURCH.—The Edinburgh journals announce that cholera, has returned to the above city, after an absence of a few months. Four undoubted cases have been reported to the parochial authorities within a week; and, what is remarkable, it has actually commenced its ravages this time, in the same tenement where it first made its appearance in the year 1832.. GLASGOW.—The cholera has made its reappearance in Glas- gow. Twenty-one new cases, and thirteen deaths have oc- curred within the last fortnight. JonNSTON, near Glasgow, has just been attached by cholera. Three medical men have been appointed by the Board of Health since the first visitation, and every exertion has been made to abate infections nuisances. Out of fifty-one cases since the 11 tll of April, there have been eleven recoveries, twenty-eight deaths, and twelve still remain under treatment. Three medical students were also engaged in house-to-house visitation, and it is hoped that the most virulent character of the disease has passed over. DISAPPEARANCE OF CHOLERA IN LIMERICK.—The epidemic has so far decreased in the city, as to enable the committee to dispense with the services of Dr. Elmes, who was most constant and assiduous in his attendance on the patients, as also tu reduce the number of nurses in the hospital to two. In fact, the disease has altogether disappeared from the city, but it was deemed more prudent for a short time at least to keep the hospital still open, and to retain the services of Dr. Brodie, who has contributed by his professional skill and experience, to arrest the progress of the disease. THE Swedish government have just declared that not only Hull, but London, is infected with cholera, and the whole of the British ports "suspected." SURREY DISPENSARY.
