PREVALENCE OF FEVER.

An epidemic is springing up in cities and towns, under
peculiar circumstances, which demands the serious at-
tention of the Government, the Legislature, and the
public ; a striking illustration of which is afforded by
the character and the extent of the fever which is pre-
vailing at the present moment in the metropolis. Pur-
ring the months of April and May the admissions into
the London Fever Hospital were treble the number of
admissions in the three preceding months of March,
February, and January. The number is steadily in-
creasing. Wards which had been shut up for several
years are now open, and are already full. There is at
the present moment scarcely a vacant bed in the house,
and some days ago patients were brought to the doors
of the hospital, but could not be admitted for want of
room, and soon upwards of twenty were on the list,
waiting their turn for the next vacant beds.
Out of the total number admitted during the last
two months about one-third are Irish. Of these, by
far the greater number have either recently arrived
in London, or belong to families that have received
relations or acquaintances just arrived from Ireland.
Many of these poor people were actually in a state
of fever on their arrival, but still more were in such
a weakened and exhausted condition, that they fell into
fever in a few days after their abode in the wretched
houses and the poisonous localities in which they lodged.
Every case of this kind acts as a ferment thrown into a
mass of materials just ready to take on the process of
fermentation. If the season should prove warm, and
the air close and stagnant, that process must go on and
extend in all those fever districts. The character of
the prevailing fever is also peculiar, and exhibits one of
the symptoms hitherto thought to be distinctive of the
plague, namely, a remarkable tendency to glandular in-
tlammation. In plagues these glandular inflammations
