APPALLING INCREASE Ok FEVER AND DEATHS I.
DUNDEE. During the first two months of this yeal
death and pestilence have been making fearful ravages i
this town. In January and February last year, the death,
were 137 and 135, while in the corresponding months
this year, the numbers are 250 and 232, and in the fir,week of March, 63. The two extremes of old age am,
young children have been the principal victims cut off
and it is presumed, as reported by the physicians of th
Infirmary. at the quarterly meeting of the govern,'
held on Monday last, that numbers of these have
perished from a want of proper nourishment. The following
extract from their report may convey some idea of tti,
misery and wretchedness of this town :—" Many of those
who have been recommended as out-patients, as well as
thoa who have been admitted into the infirmary, have
evidently long suffered from insufficient nourishment, and
not a tew deaths are, iu our opinion, mainly attributable.
to this cause, Many of the patients who are sent
to the infirmary are, when convalescent, prevented
leaving their beds, and, when cured, are prevented being
discharged for want of clothes." This is a most
deplorable account of destitution, anti calls for the
sympathy of those who plead so much in behalf of the desti-
tute Highlanders. Strange, indeed, there is to be a sale of
ladies' work during three days of next week, in aid of the
Highlanders, while there is nor a voice lifted up for these
heart-rending scenes at their own doors. The number of
out-patients suffering from fever in January, amounted only
to swen, in February they have increased to 113, while
every ward in the infirmary is crowded with patients,
in-
cluding the directors' hall, and the physicians'
kindlyconsulting
room. All ,use in an adjacent street has also been
placed at the disposal of the directors, which is also 11 and
many have been refused for want of roots.--Curreipougent Of
the Edinburgh Wieldy Register.

RELIGIOUS TOLERATION IN
RUSSIA.
(From the Church and Stute Gazette.)
o.ulr
We have lately publishHl a sketch of the new rebnif
Lions by which the autocrat of Russia proposes uot e" a
to preserve the Church of which he is the sirwular se
despotic head, but to extend its boundaries andincregise
the number of its votaries. era
