One otber death was that of Bridget Carty, a stranger, brought trom a field near Benriet's.bridge, where she hod lain three days, being refused admission into any Imulie on account of - sickness. In her case, from in attention and exposure, the disease had assumed a verp . snalignant character. She was received on Sun day last, and died the next morning. Another was that of John *Daiwa, who had been lying io the same neglected stale some days near Three Castle-. He died last Sunday, having been. eight days in the house. The case of Mary Kelly. now in the bathe, is singularly distressing. She, her husband, and seven children, lived in a wretched hovel on the Waterford road. One of their daughters had been a patient in the house, but discharged convalescent. The mother, however, took the disease, and whilst tHe messengers were on the way to carry her to the hospital, the hovel was-burnt down accidentally, by which all their clothes and other things were consumed, and the poor woman had scarcely a rag of linen upon her when brought into the House of Recovery. The fever has net yet found its way into the City. The cases are all from the country or suburbs, and are generally of a mild character . After we had finished our preparations for the pens last night, we were called upon to witness a scene as distressing as novel—three poor strange men, lying on Patrick -street, in high fever. One of them, a fine young fellow, was particularly ill. The pulse of another was 112. The third was not quite so far gone; and, atter some time. he got up and wandered away. The two former ware sent to the Fever House, although the Hospital is already more than crowded. They were poor men from a distance, seeking for harvest work, and abandoned by their fellow-crea tures, on account of poverty and sickness, to the mercy of Hum'.
