The following is the copy of a teleFam, dated
this morning, 3 o'clock, received from her Majesty's
Ambassador at St. Petersburg
"Another physician has confirmed my previous
reports on the fever here ; dilated pupils are a
symptom of recurrent fever, but typhus is the
more general disease. I believe there have been no
CAM with bubce or carbuncle*. The army and navy
are healthy. Four or five physicians have died. The
Ismailow Barrack was converted into au hospital.
On March 15 of last year there were in hospital
2,744 patients, and on March 16 this year, 3,812.
The mortality from all causes rose one day to 118,
but has generally been about 70 or 80 deaths daily.
Previous despatch put normal mortality too low ;
it is at this season about 40 deaths daily. I expect
immediately authentic statistics, and shall report
when I receive them. The disease is decreasing,
and there are vacant beds in hospitals."
The Tunes has received the following by tele•
graph from Berlin, dated yesterday :

St. Petersburg. Is October last nieninuitis spinalis ap.
peered at Sk. Petersburg. Thin is a spasmodic affection of
the brain sod spinal cord, by which &Urea are chiefly
attacked; the mortality from 20 to 50 per cent.
In November typhus was added to the first•mes-
Cooed disease, occurring sporadically at first and
gradually developed into a malignant species of
Otis recurrent. The fever lasts a week at a time, the
several attacks Wag aspirated by 'Marvels as long.
During these intervals the health is apparently so geed
that people have been dismissed from hospitals who died
soar after. A spesial committee has bees formed under
Governor-Deana Suweroff to look after those apparently
cured. Os a second or third attack there is a general
collapse, deocesposition of blood. old paralyais. Quinine
and stimulant' have no effect. The deaths, at first but 20,
have rises to 40 per cent. The spleen and liver are much
affected. Is may owes epidemical inflammation of the
erlam, or pustule staligna, has been observed.
Quits reosatly the Siberian plague has broken out also.
Of this 70 per cent. die within a few hours. A strong dis-
position to vomit, which cannot be satisfied, a swelling of
the belly, pestilential carbuncles, and dark oolour of the
skis are it. unmistakable symptoms. It is the Black Death.
Si. Petersburg papers deny the existence of the plague is
the capital, but the official Northern Post steles it to have
broke* out Szaaiewo, in the Waidai hills, sad the de-
setiption gives in the St. Petersburg official Medical News
sad Exchange News, in which the dilatation of the pupils
is especially dwelt upon, shows the malady in its present
stage greatly to resemble the plague. In many C&Ills,
indeed, it is difficult to distinguish plague from TM

The disease is appuestly on the decrease. Dr. Matson,

ordinary typhus, to which the fy reports&
fatality is owing. This Ruffian epidemic springs
from destitution. Dr. litomnueox writes :
"The causes assigned for the Russian epi-
" demic are the crowding into St. Peters-
" burg of 43,000 labourers in search of work,
" but more particularly the unusual destitution
" among the poor, and their recourse to unwhok-
" some food, such as bread containing a large
" quantity of horned rye. The epidemic, we are
" told, is exclusively confined to the poorer
" • clamors.' In this moped the relapsing fever of
" Russia is not singular. In this country the
" disease has always been confined to the poorest
" classes." Just so far as dirt and destitution
prevail among us we are in danger from relapsing
fever and typhus ; and it is only too Mae that
we have had much typhus in London during the
last few years. But putting the case at the
worst, we need not apprehend any visitation like
that which is so severely felt at SL Petersburg,
because the conditions of the disease do not exist
in anything like the same degree, • fact which
may surely make us thankful. This alarm,
exaggerated as it is, may remind us how much
we are all interested in the personal welfare of one
another. Want and misery may be the just and
natural punishment of individual moral short-
comings, but the disease which it generates skikee
not only the culpable person, but his innocent
neighbour. "No man liveth to himseU."
