WILLIANI CARTER, Assistant Secretary. EAST INDIA WANE, Sjo r . 8, 1830, Do you practise much in the curing of dogs ? My practice has been rather peculiar on that point. I have attended to all domestic animals, dogs parti cularly, for these 10 years. Have you seen many instances of dugs affected with hydrophobia ?—Yes. Do you consider there has been any great increase in the disorder within the .last four months 2—Yes. State your grounds for it ?—I have Fee') for the last four months more than I have in any previous eighteen months. Do ycu uttribute.that to the state of the climate? am unable to answer the question, as my account of it would be merely conjectural. Stete what you think is the ca use of that in crease ?—The disease has arisen solely from the bite of other read-doge:, find more dogs than usual of fero cious habits hat become rabid. Have all those dogs which have been brought to you for cure been bitten ?—I have seen a good many brought to me supposed to be ralsid that were not so. You can tell whether you perceived a bite upon them ?—With regard to that, I have often examined dogs which had been rolled over and apparently at• tacked, and could find no mark upon them, yet they had become tabid. Dogs are covered with hair : it is impossible to find a small puncture. Does the wound generally heal before the disease appease ?--That depends upon the nature of the wound, and the time of the appearance of the disease. In what state were those dogs generally when they were brought to you as to temper and appc titc ?—were they moving and melancholy mad ? The-great majority were in a state which sportsmen call dumb madnese, harmless, and with the jaw hanging down. There are two species of the dis ease, and the early symptoms of each are very diffe rent. The early symptoms of the dumb madness are disinclination to food, costiveness, a peculiarity of countenance which sportsmen would recognize. I can only describe it as a mixture of suspicion and uneasiness. The dog will occasionally attempt to cat, but he is unable to chew his food; he drops it from his mouth, the lower jaw then begins to hang down, the tongue to become protruded and to be discoloured ; the thirst of the animal increases, and I may say it almost unquenchable. Ile attempts to drink ; he hangs over the water lapping it most &h. gently till the water becomes covered with the as lira, but it does not diminish in quantity. In 'natty cases of rubies there is no greet increased discharge of saliva, and when it appears its continuance is short. They are unable to drink. The dog goes,: before the symptoins gradually get worse,. probably 24 or 36 hours; then there is weakness, principally wealutess behind, an uncertain staggering motion, and a peculiar change of voice, which begins with a perfect bark, and ends abruptly in u howl. He gets weaker, and dies generally without a struggle. He is worn out by the irritation of the disease. Those dogs that are dumb-mad do not bite the same as the others in one case out of twenty. There is spasm frequently in the muscles of the check. I have not seen the champing motion of the lower jaw. Have you.ever dissected dogs that died with this sort of madness?—Yes. I have found the appear ance about the mouth decisive of the disease • nn enlargement of th e li tt l e p rom i nences on t h e back of the tongue. There is more or less of inflammation in every part of the latices, and on what we call the epiglottis. The membrane covering the epiglottis is inflamed, and the edge of the aperture leading into the windpipe is likewise inflamed. These are the marks that arc deciiiva with regard to that part of the animal. Did you find any thing particular in the stomach on dissection 2—There is always inflammation. If there is ne dung, hay, straw, hair, or other strange indigestible substances, there is a brownish fluid ; the stomach almost invariably contains one or the other. These are spots of extravasated blood. If I had found these indigestible substances, and much inflammation, I Arndd at once decide that the dog was rabid. Pieces of woed, coals, stones, &c. would lead me to suspect disteMper or teething. You mentioned another species of madness be. sides the dumb. Describe the symptoms of that.--- The furious madness. The very early syMptoms Would' be nearly the same. Dulness, disinclination to eat, costiveness, but accompanied with crossness, gradually increasin* I would take as the first inclination of this crossness the dog seizing the hand of his owner, or the foot, and mumbling it, and not biting it ; an inclination to bite, which his affection for his owner represses. I take that as the beginning of it. The eye then becomes bright: there is a glare which is scent in no other disease, and in a large dog it is terrifying ; he Ishours under `some delirium, watching imaginary objects, snap s i ping' at them, flying at them ; hes impatient o f controul, made fierce ut the bight of a stick or the 'attempt to strike him ; the howl is heard at an earlier stage, and is still • mere decisive of the dis, ease; if he escapes or. is loose, he will attack every dog he can get at, and frequently other quadrupeds, but not often, except provoked, the human being; but I would say the degree of ferocity depended Upon the breed of the dog and his previous habits; the . domestic spaniel or greyhound would, except under circumstances of provocation, rarely or never bite their owner. 'State what are the dogs most likely to bite ? Those that are either'naturally ferocious, or have acquired ferocity, particularly those which have been trained to fight. The bull-terrier is even worse than the bull-dog ; the bull-dog • is seldom disposed to bite a human being, the terrier will bite every thing. In ferocious madness the dog is able to eat and drink, and occasionally will both eat and' drink in every stage of the disease; in ferocious madness he is always,able to drink, and he drinks a great deal, but it is not the apparent thirst of the dog aindetdumb madness, because he is able to gratify his:thirst, the other poor fellow cannot. How long does be continue in this rabid state ?" From four: to six days; he gradually becomes weaker,s principally in the loins; his -weakness increases, and he dice, as the other, almost without a struggle. Do the symptoms, after the death of the dogs which die with the ferocious madness, differ from those that die of the dumb madness 2--There is snore inflammation in the back part of time mouth; there is oftener indigestible matter in the stomach, and more inflammation of the stomach. I know no other difference. I consider these two species of madness modifications of the, same disease. I have found, on:inoeulation from a dog which died under melancholy or dumb madness, that the ferocious madness and the dumb madness had been indisceis minutely produced. Is it your opinion that hydrophobia can be prol. duced by irritating a dog, or by any peculiar mode of treatment—such 'us bad food,- exposure to the sun, or want of water ?--No : at the Veterinary seheel at Alloy, three dogs were selected as the subjects of some very cruel, but decieive expetis menu.. It was: during the heat of summer, and they were all chained in the full blaze of the wile.- THE COURT' of DIRECTORS of the UNITED' COMPANY of MERCHANTS of ENGLAND Trading to the-EAST INDIES do hereby give Notice; That the LISTS of much PROPRIETORS as by the Company's Books appear to be qualified to vote at the General Election on the 18th April, 1831, will be ready to be delivered on FittnAv, the 1•? th November next.

They all died, but not one of there exhi, bited the sliehtest symptoms of rabies, Do you think this circumstance will predispose.a dog to hydrophobia, as that a lonelier quantity of virus Will produeo disease in a dog so treated than in another in a more vigorousstate of temperament ?-- I cannot - speak to this from experietice... Have you ever given the virus of a dug in a rabid state, in the shape of food, to another. do'g, so as to be taken into the stomach ?.—Ves I have. What effect_ has it produced?---Not any. Do you conceive that the .virus of the rabid dog may safely ,be taken into the„stomaeh of either man or animal ?—Yes, if the coats of the stomach are sound. Do you think that hydrophobia can be communi cated unless the virus can be made to enter . into the circulation—that is, unless the skin be punctured ? Of the skin generally I should say no; het as to the more ,delicate skin, of lips and meuth, it is a doubtful question —a, question to which I could not give a decisive answer; and I would give as a reasou that there tire two or three cases on record. There is one of a physician labouring antler hydrophobia taking leave of his children 'and kissing them; one of them became bydrophobious, the • dis ease being communicated by the kiss. I would state again that a man died of hydrophobia who persisted that he bad riot been bitten by any dog, but it was recollected afterwards that he had been endeavourino• to untie with his teeth the knot of a rope by which a rebid dug bad been fastened a ,few weeks before; therefore it is a c l ues. lionJ cannot answer. I attended, a fortnight ago, the eldest son of a nobleman, A little cur, a vermin dog of which he was very fond, had been suffered to lick his lips, On a certain morning when the dog came into the room with his valet, he seemed more than usually fond of his Integer, and insinuated his tongue into the mouth of the young man. The following (lay the dog did not appear well, the third day a physician who was in attendance on the family saw something suspicious about the animal, and requested that Itnight be sent for. As soon as 1 saw the dog 1 decided t hat it was rebid. A consul tation was then come to as to what was to be done with this young man, and we were both of opition that it was necessary to apply the caustic to the lip, to the tongue, to the palate, and to every part which the saliva could . have reached. B e f ore , h owever , we absolutely determined on to severe an operation, it very emittent surgeon was consulted, and he advised that the caustic should not o n ly b e u ppli e d to t h ese parts, but to every part of the mouth Which could' by possibility be got at, and the patient was most terribly punished ; the caustic was applied with great severity to every part that could be reached. In the two previous eases which you referred to, and which, presume, are on record, had it been ascertained that the children had not also been bitten, and also may not the lips of the person %%die tried to untie the knot have been sore ?—Those are questions which I can only 'answer by saying that they are related in this connection as showing that it is doubtful whether, although the poison will not penetrate the ,common integuments, it may.not be dangerous when received ems the more delicate skin of the lips, • In this case of the nobleman's son, is the dog dead ?—lle was sent to me the next day, and he died the second day afterwards, rabid. Is it your opinion that doge : are most likely to go mad hi hot or cold weather, or under any extreme severity of weather of any nett P-1 believe, in the ritrocious . rnadness, the dog isntore disposed to in hot weather than cold; the fever runs higher, and lie does greater mischief; but otherwise the disease is not more likely to occur. Have you ever rubbed the virus of the dog into another animal's skin, were the skin is not : pune • tared ?—I have tubbed a piece of cotton, that I had sopped with the saliva of the rabid dog, on the guMa and lips of a healthy dog, without producing the disease ; but still, %%ien the other csses are in my memory, I would say again that 1 cannot answer the question you put to roe before. Do you consider that the power of communicating the infection arises in the dog immediately after the bite, or only in the earlier symptoms of the disease ? —That is another question very difficult to answer. There is a case on record of a dog communicating hydrophobia ten days before there appeared to be any thing the matter with him. He did at length become rabid, though ten days beSure he was in perfect health. Certainly, however, the dog could not communicate the infection until his own consti• tution was affected, and that would not be imme diately. You inoculated some dogs with virus, and thea waited the progress of the disease. In how many did it fail ? r —lt would fail as often as succeed. I have six dogs now under inoculation for the sake of experiment. How soon tiller inoculation did the disease ap pear ?—Thcreis a great uncertainty as to that. the, cues which 1 .tried, I should say not less than three weeks; and varying in the cases which pro ceeded from artificial inoculation, from that to three months. • ti. Which kind. of Ile two, the dumb or the fern cious.mailness, WAS the commonest in those cases of inoculation seemed to be a point of indifference. . Did they ever recover after the disease appeared ? —No, in no instance. Have you seen or known of mini) , cases of mad ness in dogs that are suffered to run loose ehout the streets without owners, and generally those which live upon the town ?-.—Those are not the sort of dogs usually brought to me. Have you known many instances of those dogs going mud ?--- , Yes. Have you wormed many dogs ?—Yes, a great many. Ido not,consider that it has the least bene ficial effect in the world. Do you consider the symptoms of madness so de eided,-that you can never be mistaken so as to take a dog that is not mad for u dug which is mud ? No, 1 am bound to acknowledge that I have often been mistaken in the early stage of the disease. Of those dogs which have been brought to you within the last four months, are you decidedly,of opinion the great majority have.heen mad think I can safely speak to, at least, 80 cases of decided madness sinco the end of January. - • Have any of those slogs so brought to you bitten persona, previously?--Yes, many of. them —more than 80 or O. . . __.

Do you consider the disease in the dog perfectly incurable if taken in its earlier stuge ?—As far tei the experience of any medical man goes, there is no au thenticated case of cure. IWarc you tried the effect of lunar caustic or exci sion on a dog ?—Both, in about 30 cases. in those cases some have become rabid; one, t should gay, in three, Upon whom the operation has been per f6rmed hat becoMe rabid. I should trace that to 'the point on which if was examined before,—the difficulty of discovering the bite, owing► to the animal being covered With hair. Ilas it ever occurred to you that by any legisla tive measure the spreading of this disease of endue madness might be checked P—The only measure of which I can be aware is the lessening the number of those breeds, the cur and the terrier, by which the disease is usually propagatel : lod particularly, I would add, in the metropolis, and; ind ee d, i n every part of the kingdom, putting down assemblies for fighting dogg. Do you think it would tend to check the spread of canine madness if dogs were kept at home, and confined during the prevalence of the disease ? —Certainly ; beeauve then they would ,not . be ex posed to infection. Did an instance ever occur of a person complain ing of the bite of 'a dog, the dog being 'brought to you, and you finding the dog did not die, but that the man was affected with hydrophobia end died No. On TuCarlaY a highly respectable meeting of the Nobility und Gentry of the county of York was held in the Civil Court, at the Castle of York, to vote an address of condolence to the Ki►rg on tho death of his late Majesty, and of congratulation and loyal uttaehment on the accession of his present Majesty to the throne of these realmf ; the lion. EDWARD PETRE, High Sherd, in the Chair. The Court was graced by the attendance of a considerable num• ber of ladies. The HIGH SIIGRIFF opened the hosineal of the meeting. Lora MILTON then came forward amidst great applause, and said—Mr. High Sheriff, I feel con& dent that in the course of his present 'Majesty's reign there will be no reason for any of his subjects, upon any occasion, to regret that the crown has been made hereditary in his family—(Applause) because I feel satisfied that he is one who respects those principles upon which his authority is founded, and that he will, in every act of his life— , (every act of which must be sanctioned by respon.; able edvisers)—do that which he believes to be best for the benefit of his people.---(Appluuse)— and therefore, gentlemen, , }feel that it is mimeos. vary fur Me to enter further hitt) any eulogiums upon his character; but there is one point upon which,' as he is the only one of the presont dynasty to whom the observation is applicable, ' I wish particularly to call your attention, because I um sure, when we reflect upon the glory which has encircled thii country,—the advantages which this country haft derived from the naval service,—when • we reflect upon the security which we derive from this empire being encircled by the sea, and all the advantagei this tuition derives tram that circumstance,—it will be no light 'satisfaction to any person here present to Consider that the early part of the life of his Mat jesty was devoted to the naval service; for, out any disparagement to the other breeches of our defence, I am bold to say, that I, as an individual, look to the navy for the true support of the power, the wealth, and the prosperity of lingland.-;-(Ap« plause.)—That navy is founded upon our commerce, —without commorco that navy could not exist, — without commerce this country cannot be pros perous, and therefore you see that the prosperity of this country and its naval power are most essentially united—coMmerce engages the naval power, and naval power promotes the prosperity of the country. I shall therefore, in the address which I shall have the honour to propose to you, particularly direct your attention to that circumstance, and I trtist•it is what will meet your approbation. To the King's Most Excellent Majesty. We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the nobility, gentry, clergy, and freeleilders of the county of York, beg leave to approach your Majesty for the purpose of expressing -our condolence with your Majesty and the loyal Family, on the loss which you have sustained in the death of our late suvereign, your Majesty's august brother. We beg leave at the same timo to congratulate your Majesty on your succession to the throat: of these realms, a throne which` has been Secured to your Maje.ty's illus trious filthily by the strongest of all tide—the will of a free people. Your hfajetity's dutiful and loyal subjeeti cannot refrain on this ~ oceasion front expressing the peculiar satisfaction with which theraee the Crown of England worn by 1 1 1 Pr►nce whose eitrly yore were devoted to that naval avrvioe which we have ever considered all the true protection of the insular empire over which we trust that your Majesty will, long preside Your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects entertain a eon. fidrut eipeetation that under your Majesty's reign the re sources of the country will be administered with that fru gality which the exigencies of the nation require, and that your government will be formed upon such a Willi as will entitle your Majesty to be enrolled by historians among those patriot sovereigns whose thrones have been maintained in saktylind in glory by the well.nicrited affections of their people. That your Majesty may long. reign over a prosperous awl free nation, and that your Majesty and your illustrious Consort may enjoy uninterrupted happiness m this lifi, and eternal bliss in, the world to come, is the fervent prayer of your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects.---(Great ap plause.) The ,E.arl of listinwooo, in seconding the ad dress,' Said, Gentlemen, there is one part in which I most cordially agree—l mean that part Which for the economical and proper reduction of city unnecessary expenses which the country May now be supporting. lam not, one of those, and I pro. fuss it openly its the face : of my country, that eon. 'shier that any very largeTeductions aro still capable of being made, but au far as these reduetions eau be made consistently with the spirit of this country in its institutions, and in its safety, I certainly *ball be one 'of the foremost to give my support to such redttetionse.—( Applause.) .The Ilum:Sminwt: then put the address, which was carried unanimously. The. Hon. THOMAS DUNPAS moved that the ad. dregs be signed by the, High Sheriff, on behalf of t h e. mee ti ii i, and he tronsMitted to the Secretory of State for the Horne Deportment, for the purpose of being presented to his friejesty, which being se conded, woe put end earned unanimously. 'rheArchhishop of YORK moved the thanks of the meeting to the High Sheriff for Convening the SONNET TO FRANCE. (From the Timex.) • A whipper rose. At stst, a tweeted band, Few, but if measured, se their souls expand, More strong than myriads, caught the murmured sound ; It struck their hearts, and kindred echo found. The whisper, big with import, swelled on high, Mountains received it, vilifies heard the cry, And nations knew some prodigy was nigh ! Words become things ;.....the cry assumes a guise; And round the spot mysterious haloes rise ; The heart avows sonic thrilling preienet, near, And notes with awe the spreading civvies clear.; And who is she that stands within the ring? ItioantlitsTioN,--borne on Freedom's wing,—. Beneath her feet a despot,--in her hand a king. Sept. 7 • LIBRA, THE MARKETS.
