SCARLET FEVER. j 'SEVERAL instances of scarlet fever have presented 'ltem:elves to notice, chiefly occurring among children, although, in one tinnily, 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 sal the symptoms of ma lignity, and hurries on rapidly to a, fatal termination. The ulcerations of the throat become gangrenous, and the febrile affection of the general system puts on the ap pearance of a low or putrid fever, as it has been called, and the patient requires the prompt exhibition of tonics and cordials to support the sinking frame. At other times the sore throat seems to put on more of an inflam atatory character, and the attendant fever to be one of itnerea.sed action,, and more vigorous excitement, in which the depleting system of bleeding and other evacuations is tondly called for. What arc the peculiar circumstances which determine these opposite states of the same com plaint, cannot be clearly ascertained ; but they frequently seem, to operate through several successive seasons. Dar eng the present winter, the disease has, in general, pos. eesstil a mild character, and the deaths, from this com plaint, have been proportionably few. Some difference et: opp.jn seems to have prevailed among the public, whc tlterthe human system is liable to be repeatedly attacked with this affection ; or whether, like the smail-pox, its effects on the constitution protect it from future invasion. it map, with- witch, be asserted, tha, in commit with ernall-pox, and other eruptive diseases of the same kind, *poesesses, in general, the power of attacking the system @nee only.; but this law admits of setae exceptions : the etnall-pox, is occasionally found to occur a second time in ehe same person, and the instances of the scarlet fever Juin '? .. so may be rather more frequent. In the latter (Es ea.se rt is probable, that after a person has once passed eltrougb. it, any subsequent attack will be of a mild de :ler:prim Children arc, at all times, more susceptible of the disease than adults, and considerable precautions arc eequieite,. to prevent its entirely running through , a fa mfly,, when one of its memhers.has been. seized with it. Nothing less than complete scparatiorefrom, and avoid ing all intercourse with the patient, will be sufficient to prefect those not already affected, and this sort of qua *Mine must be. extended to a temsiderable period, for the. Dower of communicating infection resides a long tine 41 the convalescent. Until the whole of the cuticle, which always }ldle off ie scales after abis fever, is completely de teehed, any approach.may be-considered hazardous. Even aloe pert concerted measures will free ently fail of restrict ing the disease to a single individual in a tinnily; the in tction may probably be communicated from one child to 1.416411er by exhahition from, the lungs, before the chum %teethe disease is clearly ascertained. Were a• patient m be seen, by a. skilful practitioner, in its earliest periml of illoess, it would not always be possible to determine the precise nature of the disease, so similar in their first 'cot & ere all fevers of the eruptive class. One advan asge,. however, it is generally in our power to obtain ; if we cannot prevent the communication of the fever, we eioy put the subjeei of its threatened steel into a. state pest adapted for its fits ourable progress. An emetic, a fettle 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 ; and these are precautions which can ways be employed, when arpearanees are. suspicious, by Owe at least in ewer circumstances : for among the poor, 't. too often happens, that for want of adequate means, tevcrs of a contagious character are freely left to their own unopposed meows. Often do we find, that a whole fa- (Idly sleeps in the same apartment, three or four children:! tie a bed, entirely eetangers to the lueury of clean iterhain ate old dirty blanket their only covering. We not only view the introduction of contagion into such thmily, with the pity and cammieeration which the poor little sufferers are entitled to receive from every humane person, but with dread and.apprehension lest a focus of .I . :doct ion should be formed, whence it may be eflsseminated, eitel brought iuto.our own homes, and among our own children. Nor ate our fears entirely groundless, fins in ited this is very frequently the case ; oftentimes may Ole origin of an infectious fever be trated to seine blind spurt or herrow alley in this crowded metropolis, which, toy a regular chain of eampiunication, aud through the menus. of unavoldttbk peremal intercotazse, reaches at length the lefty and eleeatie mansion. The knowledge ef this fete should operate oe the affluent andwealthy as ap inducement to bestow that- assistance on. thieecore of self-p reaeleettion e which disinterested ahmity alone, per-. bap, rakeht plead fiir in vain, Ste cotmected are the ti-rent elassee of 90Ciety, and so necessary is the assistanae ach to sift, that the comfort snit' welfare of one can, .mover be emlnhiJ , ...red us a matter of indidieence. to the other. The munificence of the rich, in r. tea cases, is ant e ply rewarded by the grateful returns of the poor, by the a:creased security from persenel danger, and still more, Ise the internal satisfaction which never fails to attend tube consciousness of a duty well performed.

There•were to the amount of 70001. fir one man, packed up as—return Congreve rockets. There were many rare things which were got out of the way. In the mortars were laces, gloves, mu - Aries, &c. and in the tumbrils wen: claret, chan•paign, &c. Many people have long supplied th••tn selves and friends with wine in this way, and their wives with finery. This is only a vessel, which has been detect ed, but the trade has long and aucu.•sivcly been carricd on to a great extent. The man who iofnlited got about 10001. Why not cabin' before Parliament? APRIL T. THE ROYAL. FAMILY. In consequence. of the long indisposition of the Prince Regent, and the arrival of his Royal Highness in London, on Wednesday night, Carlton House was on Thitr:laut thronged from soon after ten o'clock till near six. The company. was so numerous at one time, that the doers of the t►rand hull were obliged to be thrown open, to a,i ►nit the inquirer: They consisted of the itoyal Dukes, the Cabinet Ministers, the Foreign Ambassadors 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 Revlat, who dined at Rockingham house on Thursday. Thursday his Royal Ilighness the Prince Recent livid Council at Carlton House, which was attended by all the Ministers. After the Council he gave audience to Lord (..astlereagh and the Earl of Liverpool, and received the Recorder's report. It is fixed, we understand, that the Ceremonial of the marriage between the Princess Charlotte of Wales and Prince Leopold of Saxo-Cobourg will be solemnised by the Archbishop of Canterbury on the Ifith of next month at Carlton I louse, previously to which the Queen will hold a drawing-room thr the. introduction of Prince Leopold, at whicn the Princess Charlotte of Wales is expected to be present. . The wedding dresses fot the Prim . ess Charlotte arc ordered by the td of April. . The Queen and Princess's dresses arc in readiness for the marriage of the Princess Charlotte. The Duke of Kent has, we understand, in the most liberal and handsome manner lent his House at Castlehar, to her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte, for ;Awe years as n ecowntry residence. • The Bill which was passed in both Houses, in so cur sory a manner, on Wednesday, was, it seems, not the Bill for the actual naturalization of Prince Leopold, but a pre paratory one fbr dispensing with the forms prescribed by an Act, relative to the introduction of such Bilis, in ge neral rases. The final Bill was introduced an Thursday and passtid with the same speed as the fbriner. It con tains a clause for fixing the place of his Highness in the scale of precedency; but, as the Bill was not read ut full length, it is not certainly known what that will he— probably next to the Duke of Gloucester. The . fidlowing arrangements are stated to have been suggested by his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, fur the marriage:- 1. The precedent of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Brunswick to be strictly followed, in consequents. , of which, no distinction of the Royal Family of England is to be continued to her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte, and even the Royal Liveries are not to be worn by her servants, but those of the illustrious House of Co bourg to he substituted in their room. S. The Prince. of Colxmr,, , to be created Dube of Kendal, by which creation her Itt)val Highness the Princess Charlotte of Wales, Heiirss Presnmptive to the Throne, will become Duchess of Kendal, a title only known in this country by having been borne by the Ger man Princess of George I. A letter from Cobourg, of the Inch March, states, that an English Courier arrived there a few days befTe, with letters to her Serene Highness the Duchess Dowager Sate-Cobwrg, from.her Maiesty the Queen oti England,, and her Royal Pfighness the firin.irss Charlotte of Wales., written with their own hands, relative to the marriage of Prince Leopold, her son. The Princess of' Wales was, at the date of the last ac counts from her, at Phlerino, in Sicily. An article from. Milan, in the foreign pap^n, state—" We learn from Como, that the Emperor of Instria visited the curiosities of that city, and among others the villa of the Princess of Wales, which his Majesty rtlinired greatly. The agents of the Princess have received ostlers to hasten the fittings un, so that they may be finished in a month, when she will, return. Upwards of 500 worlmen are consequently employed in the palace and gardens. The most celehrat— ell painters have been sent for from every part of Italy.". The rumour , of a total chanoe in Administration has subsided. If there is any change, it will be ruer:dy par tial. As the Prince Regent has come to town, whatever Chang, is to take place will be immediately settlol. Mr. Peel is still mentioned- :w 311CeeSSUt to the present Chun tellor of the Exchequer. It is st.►tal in the Brussels.papers, under the heaivof Victual, th4t the person who lately made his appearance at Warsaw, as an Asiatic Prince, and son of the Emperor of the Bramins, is an impostor. This discovery is stated to have been made atifucharest, where he was met some time ago by Major Stewart, Aid-de-Camp to the Earl of Moi►n, assisted by the English Consul, resident in that city.
