the virulence of the influenza. This morning his Majesty

with the influenza.

The festivities of this week, which were to have been
-very numerous, will be much diminished by the indisposi-
tion of several families about to give entertainments. The
grand ball, ,at St. Alban's House, announced for the 20th,
is not to take place, in consequence of the Duchess of -St.
Albans being a sufferer from the prevalent influenza. Lady
Grace Gore has put off her party from this week, as also
Lady Winterton and Mrs. Gibbins.
THE INFLUENZA,_. This complaint, which, without
being dangerous, is tedious in the extreme, reducing the
sufferer to the utmost degree of weakness, is prevailing
throughout all classes in Brighton. Its first appearance is
usually accompanied by sickness, shiverings, intense pain in
the back and limbs, and a depression of spirits, accortling to
the class of mind of the party suffering, the senses are either
confused and deadened, or, in the other extreme, excited to
a painful degree. The usual time it remains seems about
10 or 12 days ; but this species of illness is so liable to re-
lapse, that it is almost impossible to define its original de-
gree of duration. In the fashionable world here the follow-
ing persons are at present suffering from its effects :—The
Earl of Rosse, the Lady Alicia Parsons, Lady Grace Gore
and three daughters, the Duchess of St. Alban's, Lord
Frederick Beauclerk, lion. Mrs. Grevill; Hon. General
Phipps, Lady C. Stuart, the Hon. Mrs. Westenra, Mrs. Ten-
nison Floyd, Mrs. Drummond, and several others. The
smallpox has shown itself in the house of Sir Francis Bur-
dett, Bart., which has caused much alarm to the members
of his family ; but the person who took it, an ,under house-
maid, has been removed, and no danger is anticipated.
