SEVERAL instances of scarlet fever have presented themselves to notice, chiefly occurring among children, although, in one OMly, the mother appears to have taken this complaint by nursing her little patients. The character of this disease varies much in different seasons; sometimes it is accompanied by all the symptoms of ma lignity, and hurries on rapidly to a final termiaation. The ulcerations of the throat besome gangrenous, anti the febrile affection of the general system puts on the ap peantnce of a low or putrid fever, as it has been called, and the patient requires the prompt exhibitim et* tonics and cordials to support the sinking frame. At other times the sore throat seems to put on more of an inflam matory character, and the attendant fever to be one of increased action, and more vigorous excitement, in which the depleting system of bleeding and other evacuations is loudly called for. What are the peculiar circumstances which determine these opposite states et' the saute com plaint, cannot be clearly ascertained ; but they frequently seem to operate through several successive seasons. Dur ing the present winter, the disease has, in general, 'ma i:eased a mild character, and the deaths, than this com plaint, have been proportionably few. Some difference of opinion seems to have prevailed among the public, whe ther the human system is liable to be repeatedly attacked with this affection ; or whether, like the small-pox, its effects on the constitution protect it from future invasion. It may, with truth, he asserte I, that, in common with small-pox, and other eruptive diseases of the same kind, it possesses, in general, the power of attacking the system once only ; but this law admits of sonic exceptions : the small-pox is occasionally found to occur a second time in the same person, and the instances of the scarlet fever doing so, may he rather more frequent. In the latter dis ease it is probable, that after a person has once passed through it, any subsequent attack will be of a mild de xeription. Children are, at all times, more susceptible of • the disease than adults, and considerable precautions are requisite, to prevent its entirely running through a fa mily, when one of its members has been seized with it. Nothing less than complete separation from, and avoid ing all intercourse with the patient, will be sufficient to protect those not alreatlx affected, and this sort of qua rantine must be extended to a considerable period, liar the power of communicating infection resides a long time in the eonvalesceat. Until the whole of the cuticle, which always falls off ist scales after this fever, is completely de tached, any approach may be considered hazardous. Even the best concerted measures will frequently lid of restrict ing the disease to a single individual in a fitmily; the in fection may probably be communicated from one child to another by exhalation from the lungs, before the charac ter of the disease is clearly ascertained. Were a patient to be seen, by a skilful practitioner, in its earliest period of illness, it woull not always be possible to determine the precise nature of the disease, so similar in their first attack arc all fevers of the eruptive class. One advan tage, however, it is generally in our power to obtain ; if we cannot prevent the communication of the fever, we may put the subject of its threatened attack into a state best adapted fins its favourable progress. An emetic, a Gtentle dose of physic, a proper regulation of diet, a cool ing regimen, an avoidance of unnecessary heat and irri tation, will much ameliorate the symptoms of the fever when it comes on ; and these are precautions which can always be employed when appearances are suspicious, by those at least in easy circumstances : for among the poor, it too often happens, that for want of adequate means, fevers of a contagions character are freely left to their own unopposed ravages. Often do we find, that a whole fit wily sleeps in the same apartmeat, three or Jintr children in a bed, entirely tit/angers to the luxury of clean linen, perhaps an old dirty blanket their only covering. We not only view tile introduction of contagion into such :t family, with the pity anti commiseration which the poor little sinkrers are entitled to receive from every humane person, but with dread soul appreheasioa lest u focus of lull •t tioa should be firmed. whence it maw be disseminated, and brought into our own homes, and waving our own eltiblem. Nor are our kirs entirely groundless, thr in- Ocsd this is very frequently the case ; oftentimes may the origin of ten infectioee fever be traced to sonic blind roan or narrow all.:y in this crowded metropolis, which, by a regolac distill of comma:aim:hal, and through the weans. of unavoidable personel intercourse, readies at length the lofty and elegant inanaina. The knawledge of this feet eliould operate on the of loent and Yee:al:lly as an i-aluesment to bestow that asaistanue ou the score of self-prose wlieb disinterested charity alone, per- Imps, might plead far in vain. Su connected are the tiffs ferent classes of Stki4ty, and so necessary is the assistance of each to nil, that the condint and weltkre of one can never be cousilereal an a matter or intliffereme to the other. Ilu• tanniiicence of the rich, in such cases, is am ply rewarded by the grateful returns of the nuor, by the increased security froin personal danger, and sill more, the internal satislhetion which never fails to attend the constiemsness of a duty well peilisrowl, G. 1111=10 THE NATIONAL ItEGISTER TtrEVD.irs LOATDON GAZI:7'I'.E.

From mi official statement, it appemv, tlint the revenue of the for the six months en. my February last, execails that of the same six months in the preceding year snore than 200,0001.

MARCfI 31, 7'!IL ROY.: 1, FAMILY. In consequence of the lung indisposition of the Prince Regent, and •he arrival of his Fo'-• Highness in Loinln, on Wednesday night, Carlton T - V.llfle W;IS on Thursday thronged from soon after ten o'cl , ,ek till near six. The company was so numerous a en•e tiro•, that the doors of the grand hall were obliged to be thrown open, to ad mit the inquirers. They corsisted of the Royal Dukes, the Cabinet Ministers, the Foreign Anilrassudors and Mi nisters, and several of the Judges. The Queen's visit to town, on Wednesday, was chiefly for the purpose of receiving his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, who dined at Buekin,sham house on Thursday. _ Thursday his Royal Highness the Prince. Regent held Council at Carlton House, which was attended by all the Ministers. After the Council ho gave audience to Lord Castlereagh and the Earl of Liverpool, and received the Wrortler's report. It is fixed, we understand, that the Ceremonial of the marriage between the Princess Charlotte of Wales and Prince Leopold of Saxe-Cobourg will be solemnised by the Archbishop of Canterbury on the Oth of next month at Carlton House, previously to which the Queen will hold a drawing-reom fin. the. introduction of Prince Leopold, at whim the Princess Charlotte of Wales is expected to be present. Tile welding dresses for the Princess Charlotte are ordered by the std of April. The Queen and Prinesss's dresses are in readiness for the mar -law of the Princess Charlotte. The Duke of Kent has, we understand, in the ►cost liberal and handsome manner lent his House at Castlebar, to her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte, for three years as a country residence. The Bill which was passed in both Houses, in so ear. eon' a manner, on Wednesdey, was, it seems, not the Bill for the actual naturalization of Prince Leopold, but a pre paratory one fi,r dispensing with the forms prescribed by an Act, relative to the introduction of such Bills, in ge neral cases. The final Bill was introduced on Thursday and passed with the same speed as the firmer. It eon. tains a clause fbr fixing the place of his Highness in the selle of precedency ; but, as the Bill was not read at full length, it is not certainly known what that will be— prolrably next to the Duke of Gloucester. The fidlowing arrangements arc stated to have been suggested by his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, for the marriage:- 1. The precedent of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Brunswick to be strictly tidlowed, in consequence of which, no distinction of the Royal Familyof England is to be continued to her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte, and area the Royal Liveries are not to be worn by her servants, but these of the illustrious House of Co bourg to be substituted in their room 2. The Prince of Cobourg to he created Duke of Kendal, by which creation her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of NVales, Heiress Presumptive to the Throne, will become Duchess of Kendal, a title only known in this country by having been borne by the Ger man l'rincess of George I. A letter from Cobourg, of the 13th March. states, that an English Courier arrived there a few days heforz, with letters to her Serene Highness the Duchess Dowager of Saxe-Cobourg, from her Majesty the Queen of England, and her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of Wales, written with their own hands, relative to the marriage of Prince Leopold, her son. The Princess of %Vales was, at the date of the last ac counts from her, at Palermo, in Sicily. Air article from Milan, in the fbrei;_ai papers, state—" We learn from Como, that the limp& ror of Austria visited the curiosities of that city, and among; others the villa of the Princess of Wales, which his Majesty admired greatly. The agents of the Princess have received orders to hasten the fittings up, so that they may be finished in a mouth, when she will return. Upwards of 500 workmen are consequently employed in the palace and gardens. The most celebrat ed painters have been sent for from every part of Italy." A few days ago a Deputation from the Wine Trade waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer with a Pe thm for a diminution of the duties on wines. Thcy stated, that the revenue would be benefitted by such measure, inasmuch as the consumpthm would be increas ed in proportion to the cheapness of the article, Mr.. Vansittart appointed Wednesday for the Deputation to receive their answer ; when he expro.sed his determina tion not to mate any alteration whatever in the duties, because he could not in the actual situation of the coun try, consent to lower the duty on any article of luxury, although the prufessed elljeet might be an inerca.se ef re venue. A letter has been received in town from an officer on iy)ard his Majesty's ship Theban, dated St. Helena, or which the following is an extract:—" We sailed front India the 22d of last NLvember. Oa our pas sago we lay at the Cape of Good Hope three weeks, from whence we proceeded to St. Helena, whrc we continued three days. Bonaparte has got a number I.f persons front his Majesty's ship Northumberland, 74, with the consent of the Ad miral. He also wanted in his service eight able seamen, and one of the ship's boats to amuse himself round the Wand, but th t.t immediately refthed.-
