THE EPIDEMIC IN RUSSIA.
ST. PETERSBURG, APRIL 6.

The Poste du Nord contains the following note :
" Different foreign journals publish reports which
are quite fallacious, alleging that the plague of
Siberia had recently declared itself among the in-
habitants of the province of Novgorod and also at
St. Petersburgh, depopulating, in a very brief
period, a whole district (the district of Chanew ?),
carrying off the physicians who had been despatched
there, and spreading terror through the whole popu-
lation of our capital. It is further stated, that this
disease, to which, to calm the public agitation, we
had given the name of typhoid affection, had
destroyed in a few days not only almost all the
patients in the hospital of Oboukhow, but that
the whole staff of this establishment, both medical
and administrative had fallen victims to it ; and that
in consequence of these facts our Government had
sent for the most celebrated physicians of France,
Germany, and England, in order in have the bene-
fit of their counsels in such a terrible moment of
public calamity.
" In a German journal The Wanderer, of the 28th
March, we read intelligence of a still more absurd
character falsely purporting to have been received
from St. Petersburg, according to which a number
of the inhabitants terrified by the reports relating
to the apparition of the Siberian Plague, had set
fire to the Convent of the Nuns of the Elevation of
the Cross, and that this institution, together with
the Municipal Free Hospital, had fallen a prey to
to the flames.

The improbability, not to say complete absurdity,
of all the above reports, and others of a like nature,
bruited abroad probably by some of our kind friends,
do not really merit any serious consideration. We
can only say further, that the Siberian plague com-
mits no kind of devastation—that, God be praised,
the ,typhus and typhoid, as well as the relapsing
fever (febris recurrens) have somewhat decreased
during the last few days, and that, in consequence
of the thoroughly active measures adopted by the
administration of the hospitals, it will, in all pro-
bability be no longer necessary to provide extra
temporary accommodation for the sick."

THE ERUPTION OF VESUVIITS.

TURIN, APRIL 6.

The Aurenire, of the 2d inst., says :--" Vesuvius
is emitting strong columns of flame with greater
fierceness than was observed in the first ebullition.
The subterranean rumbling sound is also louder
than before, and everything combine to induce the
belief that an eruption of more or less vioience is
in-liniment. However, from conjecture to certainty
there is a wide gulf, and so we must hope that this
prophecy will have no further fulfilment than that
made a month since."

MISS BATEMAN having, on Satarday evening,
completed her engagement at the Adelphi, after
playing Julia in " The Hunchback" eighteen nights
with brilliant success---withdraws into the country
to recruit her health prior to her re-appearance on
the boards of the Adelphi on Monday, the Bth of
May.

lutely unrivalled. The proposition, such as it is,
admits, we do sincerely believe, and we shall yet
earnestly hope, of being carried out to its actual
fulfilment. Rapidly though this posthumous work
of Cardinal Wiseman's has been issued from the
press by his Eminence's executors, it has manifestly
been carried through the press by them with
exquisite care for the accuracy of its publication.
Only on a single page have we noticed anything
like an oversight, and there, indeed, on the parti-
cular page we are now referring to (p. 31), there
are in point of fact two errors of the press—one
of them purely a typographical error, where, in the
tenth line, we read " particuler"—the very next
sentence running thus—" We do not mean by the
use of the word genius, that the soldier
knew anything of poetry, or the printer
[it should obviously, from the mere context, have
been the painter] of mechanism." Such as the book
is, however, altogether, in itself—it is worthy (brief
and nominally incomplete though it may be) of
being regarded as the writer's last intellectual offer-
ing to England, a lecture in honour of England's
greatest son, in honour of that William Shakspere
to whom has been accorded (p. 53) absolute and
undisputed sovereignty over the literature of the
civilised world.
