rially contributed."
THE YELLOW FEVEII.—Some curious details
respecting the yellow fever in the West Indies were
brought home by the two mail packets the Thames and
Orinoco, just arrived. The Thames has been stationed in
the West Indies several months. It appears that the yel-
low fev.-r has attacked all kinds of persons indiscriminately
—the young and middle-►ged, the temperate and intem-
perate. It crewed to bear down with the utmost severity
on young end healthy pereons, and few of them who were
' attacked escaped death All except one who were struck
with thi: fence on board the West India mail packet Treat
died. Lieutenant Percival, en Admiralty agent, and an
aged officer, who has been lone on the \treat India packet
station, was attacked with yellow fever, and, finding num-
ler, or and lain, dying from its effects, resolved to trust to
a vigorous constitution, and abstained from taking medi-
cine. He recovered after some. dal illness, and cams
home in the Orinoco. The yellow fever would make its
appearance in the :rind sudden and surprising manner, and
:•t ,eta time, mid in distant places where it was least
expected.

wark keen invited their representative, Sir W. Molcsworth,
