BOMBAY, 9th January.

Lady Fergusson, wife of His Excellency the Governor, died yesterday afternoon at one o'clock from cholera. The fatal illness declared itself on Saturday, when Lady Fergusson informed Dr. Findlay that she did not feel well. Dr. Blanc was immediately sent for. Cholera symptoms were unmistakeable: the cramps being severe. Lady Fergussorf was soon in a state of collapse, Later she rallies, and hopes were entertained of until midnight, when pains of labour, declared themselves, and soon after the child was a dead. From the time there was no chance of recovery. Dr. Cock was called in, everything possible done, but the patient never rallied, Miss Fergusson and Miss Richman, Lady Fergusson's sister, were sent to Malabar Point.
