There has been no other garrison mortality beside four
deaths in the Cayloa Rifle Corps. The European part of
the forte is parbeitlarly healthy, and there are only sixty-
nine on the sick list (against 113 at same period last year),
of whom 13 are of the Ordnance department, and thirty-
seven of the 69th regiment. With the civil community the
small pox has but a trifling effect; in the seamen's hospital,
however, there have sheen seven deaths it during the
month, out of twenty-three admissions. Four of those who
died were Americans, one Kanakah, one native of Oos, and
' one Englishman.

just been printed la it Tatbratery payer, on the improve-

desires to be regarded us a mere 4W-beaded opinion rather
than a deliberate judgment.
