We have it on the authority of a highly re spectable resident Magistrate, that severa l parte o f t h e County Tipperary are again falling into a most alarming state of disturbance; insurrectionary parties are parading the country every night, taking arms--houses have been attacked near Th omas town and Tipperary and also plun dered of fire arms. Last week two Gentlemen shooting in the latter neighbourhood, were forcibly dispossessed of their fowling-pieces in the open day. Shots are heard every other night, and fire arms appear to be in abundant sup ply with the peasantry. Many respectable families are coming into town for the winter, afraid to remain the long dark nights in the country. Lord LANDAFF has left his residence at Themastuwn, and gone to Cheltenham.__ Cork Constitution. N.B. Five Civil Medical Practitioners dead. Total admitted. into Hospitals and medical treatment (Civil and Military) Dead 09 2,121 Discharged cured, and rem.,ining under medical treatment 3,583 It will be observed that this report is made up to the sth instant, the latest possible period for us to obtain intelligence ; the accounts which we have received are melancholy beyond belief. About the lath of August, it seems a fever of a most malignant nature broke out in a district numbered 24, near Prince Edward's Wall ; the result was a mortality which swept away Mimic families, and crowded the civil hospitals with patients driven thither from their own spacious apartments to an atmosphere already crowded with the sick, where they rapidly sank under the distemper. About the sth of September General Miranda, commanding at Algeziras, sent several Spanish physicians to ascertain th e na t ure of I . . the disorder, and on the following d a y a c o r d on sanitaire was resolved on, and established ; from the Oar. to the 14th of September three British Regi mkts were encamped on the neutral ground, (a lo4swampy situation) but continued to do the . to duty : and the un f or t una t e e ff ec t o f thi s su . a transition may be b es t j u d ge d by th e f act , t h a t frol e the hour of this encampment every guard re turnr)ig from town sent in from six to ten fever cases, andin less than three weeks 071 C hundred and twenty fine fellows, soldiers of the 12th, 42d, and 43d Regi ments, three of the finest corps in the service, died ; 7000 of the, inhabitants were also encamped close to the troops, and from this encampment from 40 to 50 coffins were daily deposited in the graves. The surface of the sand, on the neutral ground, is scarcely three feet from the water, and the heat of the sun causes such powerful evaporation, that after four o'clock in the afternoon a fog arises, which in less than .a quarter of an hour involves the whole en astaknient in darkness, and completely saturates the outar canvas of the tents ; this continues all night, and before the morning the arms of the soldiers, their clothes and accoutrements, are in the most wretched state of dampness, and when the sun rises the exhalations are in the, highest degree offensive. The officers who have stiffered and sunk, are not in anything like a just proportion to the men who have fallen victims to this sad mortality, because they have been defended through the night by the double vitirvas of the marquees ; but even these precautions _ have s iNen insufficient to secure them altogether. Sir George Don has exhibited the most active kind ness and consideration for the sufferers, and has fur nished the men with boards, mattrasses, and blan kets; however, the long hoped-for rains will cover this neutral ground two or three feet deep with water, which will remain for several weeks, so that the officers upon similar occasions are in the habit of amusing themselves with wild duck shooting on the very spot where the tents are now pitched. It seems to be thought that if the troops had remained in their barracks in town, with about 30,000 inha bitants encamped, the mortality w ou ld n ot have been of one-fifth of its present extent; in fact, the 23d, 73d, and 94th regiments are now on the south side of the rock, encamped on an elevated spot (Windmill-hill and Europa flats) and in these regi ments the deaths do not exceed a fifth of the number of casualties which have occurred in the regiments encamped on the neutral ground. The general opinion of the faculty is, that miasma prevails more on the high grounds, over swampy land, than in the swamp itself; but experience and practical results -in the present case, at all events most strikingly tend to awaken the theory. The reason why this subject is so strongly pressed by us, upon the notice of influential persons, is, that although the experiment has been tried, and has failed, it has been resolved to encamp the troops annually on the neutral ground, a measure, which independently of the danger to human life, will en tail upon Government an expense of 50,000/., in curred by the total destruction of the materiel of a vast encampment, produced by the mixture of lime stone dust collected upon the tents with the power-• ful dew which has before been described. But there is another and a much more important ques tion to be asked, involving the subject of health and convenience at Gibraltar—in the year 1782, during the siege, the number of inhabitants, exclu sive of the Garrison, was three hundred; at this mo ment the number has reached thirty thousand! ! !

A pretty just idea of the state of Gibraltar may be as certained from the fact that in consequence of nu merous persons having died on board ships in the bay, to which they had fled for safety, an order has been issued prohibiting fishing—it being imagined that the fish may have be come contaminated by feeding on the bodies which havo been cast into the sea from the vessels. It seems pretty clear, from all we can see of the matter, that, whether the subsequent treatment of the fever was or was not judicious, is originated in the denseness of the population : the dreadful fact is, that nearly a thousand persons have already fal len victims to the malady a recurrence of which may always be dreaded while the population. continues so numerous, and the extermination of which, may not be reckoned upon, so long as the design of en camping the sick upon a swamp is persisted in.

Some animals appeatcd to more easily affected by a different blood than others; catty and dogs, for instance, more than sheep.

A medical gentleman has furnished us wit!, an account of fifteen cases which have fallen under his ob servation within the last fortnight ; four of which had been previously vaccinated; two having a perfect eschar or I cicatrix, and two wherein the cicatrix is imperfect ; the former passed through the disease without any alarming symptoms whatever, the pustules not exceeding thirty; ; in the latter cases, the febrile symptoms were greater, arid the pustules more numerous, but perfectly distinct. The remaining eleven had not been vaccinated, and in no in stance was the disease so mild ; on the contrary, three had the continent—two of which had petechid or purples, and one of them died.—The advantage resulting from vacci nation or cowpox, must, therefore, appear sufficiently evi ' dent to every observing mind—not that it can positively be said it will prevent the disease, but it will, indispUta bly, m iti g ate its virulence on individuals disposed t o t a k e the i n f ect i on .

A horrid case of murder, committed upon the person of a married female residing at Stonelaw, user Rutherglen, took place on Sunday last. The clicumstam:es are involved in great mystery; but the person charged with the br u t a l d ee d i s h er 'own husband, who has, of course, been taken into custody. The following are the circum stances of this mysterious affair as related by hint had been at Bridgeton along with his wife on Sunday last, on a visit to her b ro ther, and remained th ere t ill nine or ten o'clock at night, drinking occasionally, at which time. they returned to their own house at Sttmelaw, accom panied by her brother. } Boone wish e d t o go b ac k to Bridgeton with h is brother-lit-law ; but his wife interfered, and would nut consent to his doing so ; and their relation went away alone. In a short time Moonz went after him, and was followed by his wife a short way behind, who tried to overtake him. She had a child in her arms. They had not proceeded far when the prisoner says Le heard his wife calling out " Nen, NED, lam gone." Ile turned back, and found her lying on the ground bleeding very profusely, and the child lying beside her. He car ried her on his back to the first home, and afterwards to his own house, where she (lied in the course of half an hour. This is the story related by the prisoner. The body of the woman was afterwards examined, and a deep wound was discovered to have been inflicted iu the lower pat •.t of the abdomen. She was five urtutlis gone with Glasgow Chronicle.
