London, Sept. 4. Two hundred and forty-five deaths were recorded at Hamburg yesterday. Cholera has appeared at Christiana, the capital of Norway. Sept. 5. The precaution against the spread of cholera in London have reassured the public. The Atlantic steamers will not carry steerage passengers from Hamburg. Fatal cases of cholera have occurred at Falmouth, and three cases at Tynemouth, all traceable to Hamburg. JBekun, Sept. 5. Sixty-eight additional deaths from cholera were reported trom Hamburg on Saturday, and on Sunday 277 were recorded.

Twenty-three deaths occurred on board the farmer during the voyage and ten patients are still sulfering from cholera. Five deaths took place on the Roumania and four persons are down with it.

The health authorities are taking precautionary measures against cholera. The Collector of Customs has visited the quarantine island at Motuihi and everything is in readiness for eventualities. Wellington, September 5. It is intended to prohibit the importation of rags. None are imported at present, but large quantities are sent to Amsterdam from other ports of Europe, and their importation having been prohibited there, it is thought that they will be sent on to New Zealand to be used in the manufacture of paper. The Central Board of Health have decided to recommend to the Colonial Secretary that all mail bags from outside the colony be disinfected with sulphur. This would mean a certain amount of delay in the delivery of mails, but not so much as if the letters themselves were fumigated.
