On Saturday last the number of deaths registered in the newspaprs as from Thursday, August 22 to Friday, August 30, amounted to 38; and from last Saturday, August 31, to Thurs day afternoon, September 5, the num ber as appears in another column, has amounted to two hundred and twenty three. It is said that nearly one hun dred more have been registered up to the time of our going to press. Decidedly frightful as has been the number of registered deaths from all classes and conditions—white and black; agents of European firms and native clerks of government offices and mercantile establishments, un married young men and women as well as married—yet the seriousness of the effect of the epidemic does not fully appear in these casualties; for, apart from those who have collapsed the number of people who have been ill in bed and totally incapacitated for business of any kind is tremendous.
