ADAME MALIBRAN.

DR. BELLUOMINI'S EXPLANATION.

" 79, Quadrant, Oct. 4, 1836.
". So many different statements have appeared on the
phiect of the illness of Madame Malibran de Beriot that I
thee come to the determination of laying before the public
factsbe as they really happened, in the hope that you may induced to 'cable Journal. give my communication a place in your va-
!" At six o'clock, P.m , on Saturday, the 1 7th of Sep-
he ember last, I received a. letter from M. de Beriot, in which
bexpressed himself thus :—‘ My poor Maria is seriously
e' and in bed. She has been bled, but the complaint has
constaen
°nlY augmented by it, and she is to-day in a state of
happen t delirium. Ido not' know what to do, or what will
lam in despair. Your presence would restore
ire to us both.'
" Three hours after the receipt of this letter I entered
htlaPicstehaise, and arrived at Manchester on the 18th, at
-Past six, P. M.
The patient was then partly delirious
Vic, for De Beriot remarked to me, See, she knows you.'
e did recognise me,
embraced in fact, and rose from her bed and
aced me ; but she immediately sank down again.
was then told of all that bad taken place. Since her
arrival at
Manchester from 10 to 12 ounces of blood had
been taken from her, but on the following day, notwith-
s!.anding
her great weakness, she would go to the church and
!mg, but she was totally incapable of so doing, and she was
irnmediately taken home. From that time until that of
Ivilich I speak, nearly 04 h, she bad b in a state of
Constant fever and deliriumours, accompanied by een
strong and in-
..exsant convulsions which nothing would allay, and which
brought on frequent vomngs•
She had no sp, no nou-
'ishment, and
she took initi part. only the remedies prescribed
for her,

tc:After a scrupulous and most careful examination and
diderati
:on, I found that the viscera of the chest and ab-
ea had not been attacked with malady, and I stated it
113 Y opinion that the disease was a nervous fever, of a most
m▪ aagerous kind, and attended with extreme weakness.
A: I immediately set to work to administer to the patient
40 se remedies which I thought desirable, and while I was
bengagedeardsiey it was announced to M. de Beriot that Dr.
and Mr. Worthington were in an adjoining cham-
tf' What to do ?' said I. Miss Novello, who was
thel'`,. :1, answered, I will go and speak to them,' and then,
in` iicring to me, she asked, " Would you wish to see them ?'
sw °aged as I was in administering the medicine, I an-
it ereed,
„ will do so if they wish it, but I do not consider
Miss Novello having returned with an inti-
'l,4i On that they wished to speak to me, I instantly went
1e) them. Dr. Bardsley was good enough to tell me what
xaMedies he had prescribed. I thanked him, but at the
e time I apprised him of the fact, that I considered any
itiatnsultation between myself and them on the subject of the
treure treatment of the patient useless, as my system of
12abltirtya:Itthwey
as asthat of homceopathy, with which, in all pro-
were unacquainted. I added that I consi-
red the disease to be a nervous fever, and Dr. Bardsley
treared to be of the same opinion, as he repeated three
le,„8----1 Exhaustion, great exhaustion.'
a The first effect of the medicine was to allay the cough
settle, and to procure for the patient four hours of calm
%eel). When I saw her about six o'clock the next morning
ire fever had considerably decreased, the cough had nearly
i„ls,aPPeared, and there was no longer any delirium, except,
_queed, a musical movement, which seemed constantly to
',tear to her mind. At my request she took a cup of
Ludic, refusing all other sustenance.
`` From this I began to conceive hopes of her recovery ;
411 t, alas! some hours after the fever increased, the cough
,Il,d delirium returned, and the pulse became again weak.
Ile medicines produced relief from time to time, but the
4°liree of the disease was continually augmented, and more
2_ as the patient positively refused to take any species of
"aarishment, even by injection.
b-md4 1311 Thursday, the 22d, I began to lose all hope.
er these circumstances, apprehending a miscarriage, I
expressed a wish to put myself in communication with one
of the best accoucheurs in the place. The name of Mr.
eivis having been mentioned to me, I requested him to
Ac!l'ae, wishing particularly to know whether he would thir,k
l'ith me that the child was dead. He was of my opinion.
the recommended that the patient's hair should be cut off,
at embrocations of water and vinegar should be applied to
the head, and fomentations to the stomach. I agreed with
,rn, and hoped success from the employment of these means.
had a very bad night, and was for the most part in-
sensible. Mr. Lewis, who remained with her while I re-
tired to take an hour or two's rest, thought it desirable to
Vtilinister certain remedies, which, however, produced no
veurable result. On the morning of the 23d, a certain
Z,l3iPtom °fan approaching- effort of nature having appeared,
41.4 Lewis was sent for, and shortly after a species of labour
"aunenced, but without any effect save that of still more
Weakening the patient, who, at about half-past eight in the
evening*, expired.
" During the course of the illness there appeared only
slight affection of the alimentary organs, which entirely
n,.disappearsd after the first medicine I administered. The
e"ns of the stomach and the intestines went on regu-
iarly
pto the last moment. The aversion she exhibited
flat taking nutritive food was but an increased symptom of
at Peculiarity of taste which is so frequent with females
iqceinte. This false appetite had existed with Madame
alibran de Beriot more than two months. She had an
aver.ion for meat and all nutritious things. She disliked
°llltgar and everything that was sweet, and was found only
At °Ystt'rs, fruit, and anchovies, and other slight food, and
".„," suswined her strength with porter and other artificial
4 eat, s.
In the ;month of July she had a terrible fall from her
°rae, and. was dragged along the ground for the space of
roveral yards. This caused a great shock of mind and
contusions on the head, and an impossibility of using
,„'e left arm at the shoulder. The medicines which I ad-
Zveliniistered to her having a little dissipated the pains and
I ,Ings, she would sing at Drury-lane Theatre the same
ttvtying, contrary to m advice—a circumstance which
1110 Ct retarded her complete recovery. During her last
s 4 the pains at the shoulder, in the arms, and at the
beeverai contusions returned. Her health had evidently
°tell destroyed two months before, but her groat boldness
of spirit prevented her from paying attention to the advice
lieLimsband, her medical adviser, or her friends.
ef" 11 Here, Sir, you have the plain and simple explanation

passed relative to the illness of Madame Malt-

Tuesday Night.—The racing this afternoon was so abun-
dant and derived so much interest from the race between the
winners of the Derby and St. Leger that the assemblage was
superior in fashion and number to what we have seen in an
October meeting for many years past. The weather was de-
lightful, and the sport altogether highly gratifying. The
two matches, the Hare Park and Buckenham Stakes, do
not require any further observations ; bnt the Trial, Hopeful,
and Grand Duke Michael Stakes, the latter especially, pos-
sessed too much intrinsic and relative importance to be dis-
missed so summarily.

The Trial Stake;.—Fair Jane cut out the work to the
bushes, Muezzin and the others well up ; she gave up here,
and Hock took the lead, maintained it, and won very cleverly
by a length. The mare was several lengths astern.
The Hopeful Stakes.—As usual with such short races there
were four or five false starts ; in the actual one Wintonian, des-
pising the extra weight, took the lead, followed closely by
Sister to Ceres, the rest well laid up. At the top of the hill
Brother to Beiram, the Zinganee filly and Grand Cairo were
in difficulty ; and at the ropes Sister to Ceres, making a des-
perate rush, fairly collared Wintonian. A severe race home
was won by the mare in the last stride by a head, Colonel
Peel's filly being beaten about a length and a half. The other
three were two or three lengths behind her. It is very clear
that nothing but the extra weight prevented Wintonian winning.
Grand Duke Michael Stakes.—The pace was bad at start-
ing, nor did either make positive running for the first three
hundred yards. Elis then took it up at a steady but not by
any means fist-rate speed, Bay Middleton waiting t• the
bushes, %here he mended the pace and headed him, cleared
him in the bottom, and won cleverly by a length, having in-
contestably proved his superiority both in speed and stoutness.
The betting was heavy.
