Wring Diane IN RUM&
An account, dated April 5, received from hes.
Majesty's Ambassador at St. Petersburg, says :
"The fever is contagious, and is called in French
*errs d rechats, in German dem recurvireek Fieber,
and 'the relapsing or famine fever' in English. It
is also styled 'remittent fever,' or 'typhus re-
currens,' or bilious typhoid fever,' or ' synocha,'
or miliary fever,' or typhinia.' It was unknown
in Russia until eight months ago, when Professor
Botkin called attention to it as a fever he had never
seen, though foreign physicians had described it.
There is much ordinary typhus in Bt. Petersburg.
The official journal states that the typhus and the
typhoid fever and the febris recurrens' prevailing
in St. Petersburg have now slightly diminished.
"Lord Napier reports from Berlin, April 6, that
an unknown disorder has appeared along the valley
of the Vistula, and especially at Elbing. The
Prussian government is not aware that it came from
St. Petersburg."

The Medical Gazette of Bt. Petersburg gives an
account of the epidemic which is committing such
ravages in that oity,and which is called "revenants"
It was during last autumn that the disease broke
out simultaneously in the north-east and south-west
of the Russian empire. M. Gworling, the govern-
ment doctor at Perm, announced that lie had seen
forty cases of this disease, which commences with
cold and shivering, followed by great heat without
perspiration, accompanied by cholic, headache,
delirium, general debility, and sometimes with a
low of blood from the nose. The disease lasts
from five to six days, after which the invalid
recovers his appetite, falls into a sound sleep, and
the fever quits him. The fever returns after a
short interval, but again ceases, and the doctor has
observed this to have happened three or four
times. Quinine taken in large doses cures the
fever, and removes delirium, but does not pro-
duce decisive effects, nor is it sufficient to arrest
the progress of the disease. The doctor adds that
he has seen more than SOO persons attacked with
the disease in the course of the years 1857 and
1858 in America, where it raged with such violence
that it was mistaken for the yellow fever.

NEAPOLITAN CORRESPONDENCE.

Account^ from Naples lately spoke of the
delivery to the authorities of important papers
connected with the Bourbon rule. A letter from
Rome in the Aoenir National gives the following
account of the matter :
Garibaldi was approaching Naples, and much numainess
was felt as to whom could be entrusted the morel archives
of the Bourbon polio*, which it was desired should 'wither
be destroyed nor suffered to fall into the hands of the
enemy. After mature deliberation these papers
were handed to M. Mire, • superior functionary in
the ministry of police. That person accepted them,
sad kept his wont so well that it is not known
to this hour in what way the decussate disappeared, nor
what had become of than. Retained in his post by the
government of Victor Emmanuel up to 1862, he was at
that period amused of being unearned in a Bourbon oonspi.
racy. He fled from Naples, went to Rome, and was received
at the Farness Palace as • faithful and devoted subject.
Subsequently, getting mixed up in the intrigues which
divided that court during its sails, and becoming the ob-
ject of calumnies and insults for which he sought redress
from the tribunals, he failed to find in Francois IL the sup-
port which he looked for. It was then that he entered upon
secret negotiations with the Italian authorities, that he
spoke of Important papers which bed been put into his
hands, end offered to give them up. On what renditions ?
No one can yet my. It is only known that between the
15th and the 20th of March he obtained an assaranos that
he might return to Naples without beteg at all uneasy as to
what had pared. He left Rome on the 22nd, but, before
reaching Naples, stopped at • place when he had buried tle
documents, and, repo seeing himself of them, handed
them on the 24th into the Quest is office at Naples. It is
mid that nearly all of them have notes in the handwriting
of Ferdinand 11. and Francois 11., and possess high political
end historical importimes. They coacern an thane who
tram 1854 to 1860 had valerian with the government, either
as musses or victims.

In to•day's sitting of the Congress the Minister

ence to the settlement of the Passive Debt and of
the Coupons:
The worst thing which can be done is to press
the government with too great impatience. Spain
can do fax more than she did in 1851, but she
will do it when she believes the moment to be
opportune for so doing. Those outside this assem-
bly who would force the government, do only harm
to those interests which they would serve.

PAEIB, WZDNIIIIDAT
The Monikur du Bair emitains a note timidly
contradicting the assertions of the "foreign prom"
(always, according to official authority here, the
originator of all false news) and of "pretended
friends of the papacy" that the Pope thinks of
leaving Rome before or immediately after the de-
parture of the French troops, pursuant to the con-
vention of Sept. 15. But the official journal, while
carping at the inaccurate way in which the "senti-
ments of the Holy Father" are described in
other quarters, cannot venture to go farther
than to say that "there is nothing in the
attitude of the court of Rome to justify the sup-
position that it is not disposed to profit by the ad-
vantages offered to it by the arrangements between
France and Italy." This assertion you will see is
negative merely. The Moidteur cannot say affir-
matively that it is disposed to profit by them.
The only positive averment it ventures upon is that
the court of Rome is "seriously thinking of aug-
menting its gendarmerie."
In the Corps Lsglslatif the ultraoonservative
and ultramontanbit amendment, proposing under
the specious name of the droit de tester (the right
of making a will) the abolition of the equal dis-
tribution of property, which is coniddered in France
as a great conquest of 'B9, and that in order to re-
store entailed estates and increase the influence of
priests over testators, was negatived, only 46 out
of the 52 deputies who signed the amendment
voting for it ultimately.
A vulgar error, almost universally accepted in
Frame, was corrected yesterday by a very import-
ant judicial decision. It is generally supposed
that any person finding money or an article of value
in the streets is bound by law to take it to the
nearest police-offioe, and that if at the end of a year
and a day no claimant appears the property vests
in the finder. Not a day passes without many
deposit& being made at various police-offices in
Paris pursuant to this supposed law. In pursuance
of this general understanding a journeyman gun-
smith, named RapEe, who, in August, 1883, picked
up bank notes to the value of 800 fr. in
the Lyons Railway station, deposited them
at the prefecture of police. The "year and
a day," having expired without the true owner hav-
ing made a claim, he applied for the restitution of
the money to himself. This was refused upon two
grounds. First, it was alleged that he had no in-
terest whatever, the State being the proprietor of
all unclaimed, lost, or stolen property. And next
he was told that at any rate the question of his title
could not arise till the expiration of three years
from the finding, because Art. 2,279 of the Code
fixed three years as the time within which lost
or stolen goods could be claimed. Thereupon
Rape brought an action against the prefect of
police for the 800 fr., and the civil tribunal has
pronounced a decree in the plaintiff's favour. The
decree states that, although the usage relied on by
the prefect of police formerly existed, the present
code knows of nothing of the kind. It is true that
the real owner may claim his property at any time
within three years, and the finder is liable to a
criminal prosecution if he wilfully conceals or with-
holds it ; but there is no law to compel him to
deposit the property found at any police-office, or to
justify the police in keeping it longer than the
finder chooses. It remains to be seen, whether,
notwithstanding the judgment of a civil court, the
criminal tribunals will not continue to hold the
non-deposit of articles found to be evidence of a
fraudulent intention to appropriate them.
