SIR WALTER B. BARTTELOT

asked the noble Lord the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Whether he could inform the House that, as was stated in the newspapers, the cholera was rapidly abating in Egypt?

Yes, Sir; there has been a decrease all over Egypt, except at Alexandria, where there is a slight increase. At Cairo there has been a very great decrease.
