RELAPSING FEVER.

Up to the middle of this week the number of
attacks by Relapsing Fever had risen to the alarming
total of 284. Of these only one had proved fatal.
The disease has thus fully borne out its old and evil
reputation. It is terrible; terrible chiefly because it
causes weakness and suffering and other diseases, not
because it is fatal in itself. The doctors say :

It is a contagions fever, rarely appearing except as an
epidemic ; frequently associated with epidemic typhus ;
even more than typhus, the fever of the vagrant and un-
employed, and liable to occur at any age, and more than
once in the same individual. It is marked by sudden
invasion, rigors, headache, heat of skin, prostration,
generally vomiting ; pulse and temperature almost at their
highest on the first day of illness, rapidity of pulse not
being (as in typhus) the measure of danger.

It is called Relapsing Fever, because it reappears
from time to time. The patient feels better after
five or seven days; but when another week has
elapsed the symptoms return, and for three days or
thereabouts the patient is as ill as before. Sometimes a
second or third relapse follows, but usually the
disease finally disappears by the end of the
third week. But numerous other maladies—
lung congestion, inflammation, swollen joints, diarr-
hoea, and typhus—too often take advantage of the
weakness which always follows Relapsing Fever.
Another source of trouble is the lengthened period of
convalescence which is necessary to recover strength.
The disease most frequently attacks the poor, whom
it incapacitates for weeks from earning their
bread. Worst of all, the cause of the disease is just
the one with which it is most difficult to grapple.
Poverty and privation are the simple and formidable
influences which spread this epidemic. Where
destitution is, famine fever will be also; and destitution
is everywhere.
London, England, 1869-11-15

The Royal Mail steamer City of Brussels, Com-
mander Kennedy (the last new vessel belonging to the
Inman Line of Steamers), arrived in the Mersey on Mon-
day afternoon, making one of the most rapid voyages
across the Atlantic. Allowing for difference of time and
detention, the run of the City ofßrussels has only occupied
a little over 8 days 14 hours.
A New York journal objects to the Associated
Press system of sending by Cable the opinions of the above
newspapers, the Standard, the Telegraph, and the rest of
them, to America. A greater farce could scarcely be ima-
gined, and can only be justified by going back to the days
when America had little press, and not much more opinion
of her own. What the Times thinks is the reverse of
what the Standard thinks, and if there could be another
reverse, that is what the Pall Nall would think. So they
neuti aliso each other, and if one opinion be sent it de-
ceives New York, and if the three opinions be sent, New
York is—as you were. But who are these profound think-
ers, and what is the use of sending their thoughts at all ?
Aro a man's thoughts any better for being printed in
Prize iug-house-square ? or in the Lane from which our
jvunty "yellow-faced" contemporary emerges? or in that
poverty-strie en stuccoed erection at the corner of Shoo-
lane, whence the Standard issues ? It must tickle the
writers to think that their profound wisdom finds such a
messenger, and that from one end of a continent to another
their utterances are borne on the wings of electricity.
When any subject connected with England, and deeply in-
teresting to the Union, is in discussion, such opinions might
be telegraphed, to be taken at what they are woi tb, and as
indicating in some degree public opinion. But surely it
is too much of a good thing that the views of writers in
tnese papers on every-day topics and on foreign affairs
should be transmitted by Cable.

THE ORACLE.

The leading journal has hung fire wofully on the
Land Question. After favouring the project of legalis-
ing the Ulster custom, it now turns round
and declares that the Ulster custom will not
furnish the proper remedy. Neither will
fixity of tenure do. Both landlords and ten-
ants must be held in check. "We must be
content now with pointing out that if our inves-
tigation be in any degree sound, the conclusion must
be accepted that any intervention which does not act
in restraint of both landlords and tenants must be
futile." And what sort of a scheme will this be ?

CONVERSION OF DEBENTURES INTO DEBENTURE
STOCK.
The Directors aro now prepared to enter into arrange-
ments for converting the Debentures of the Company into
equivalent amounts of Perpetual Four per Cent. Deben-
ture Stock, and also to receive applications for allotments
of the same Stock, at par, to be applied in the repayment
of Debentures falling due.
Any amount of Stock, not being a fraction of a pound,
can be subscribed for and transferred.
A commission of (one-half) per cent. is allowed to ap-
plicants, and the Stock will be inscribed in the Company's
books free of all expense.
Thg interest will be paid half-yearly on ho h Jan-
uary and 15th July by warrant.
The Stock thus raised will be entitled to the same
priority against the property and income of the Company
as the Debenture Bond Debt, ranking before the Com-
pany's entire Stock and Share Capital of Thirty Millions
(£30,000,000), and will be the first charge on a net income
now amounting to upwards of Three Millions (.C.',000,000)
annually.
Further particulars and forms of application may be
obtained by letter addressed to the undersigned.

A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS.

The financial doings of the Mexican Government
are an example to all nations, and would confer credit
upon the most astute city men, or even upon Mr.
Fisk himself. Juarez's Ministry is rapidly buying
up the discredited Mexican bonds, and cancelling them.
No interest has been paid upon the Mexican debt since
July 18(10, so that the interest is six half-years, or
£9, in arrear. Th© price, including this £0 arrear of
interest, has sunk from £lOO to about £l4 or loss.
What can be better than the policy of the Mexican
Government in buying those wretched bonds and thus
paying ofl a debt of £lOO, including kio interest, with a
sum of £l4 ? Here we have the whole art of finance.
Our own debt amounts to £770,000,000. Lot us
cease to pay the interest for a few years, and consols
will soon got down so low that we can liquidate the
whole sum by_ the intehAt say el. 71weis,_hcrattwex.s..

THE LUCKY BARONET.

A. "Baronet that would be," who writes from the
suggestive neighbourhood of Millbank, complains
that through the want of a public prosecutor, Sir
E. G. Culling Eardley has again been let loose on
society. The baronet was charged with committing
a fraud. The prosecutor, however, declined to pro-
ceed with the case as he had already " lost money
enough by it." There being no public prosecutor,
the fortunate, titled, and highly connected person
was at once discharged. And yet it now appears that
he confessed his crime to the constable who appre-
hended him ! How long must such things be P •

A "PUBLIC MEETING."

If great crimes have been done in the name .•
liberty, extraordinary meanness is often
the
in the name of religion. An example of the lengti:
to which passion and prejudice will carry men is
furnished by the memorial. against Dr. Temple's
ointment which Mr. Gladstone received as coming,
from a "public meeting" at Whitby. It turned out
that the " public meeting" consisted of sixteen per-
sons. Of these six were clergymen, one was
a churchwarden, one a Scripture reader,
two were newspaper reporters, and one was
a personal attendant upon the rector, so that
what were described as "the inhabitants of Whitby,"
numbered five persons.

FRIENDLY SOCIETIES AND INSANITY.

A deputation has just waited upon Mr. Tidd Pratt
co ascertain the law respecting the payment of money
by friendly societies in cases of insanity. The
Registrar quoted two cases in the Court of Queen's.
Bench in which it had been decided that insanity-
was not sickness, and that, therefore, it was illegal
for the officer of any friendly society to make
payment in the case of insanity, and any officer so
doing would be personally liable for the misappro-
priation of the funds. The Act of Parliament which
set forth the objects for which friendly societies
might be formed made no mention of insanity.
Moreover, it was generally found that members of
friendly societies who became insane became paupers
at the same time ; therefore if the societies were
chargeable with their maintenance, they would be
compelled to pay the amount of their liabilities to the
uardians of the poor who had the care of the pauper
lunatics.

THE NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.

------
The scheme of the directors for consolidating the
stocks of the North-Eastern Railway Company has
been unanimously adopted at a general meeting of
the shareholders. The proposal is to give new stock
for £lOO of each sectional stock, to be allotted in
the following proportions—Berwick being taken as
the standard:—£loo of Berwick, to receive £lOO
new. stock; York, 1:08; Leeds, £O5; Darlington, £130;
Carlisle, £133 ; Malton and Driflield, £lO. £300,000
more capital will be required to carry out this plan
of consolidation.

THE BRADFORD PETITION.

A correspondent writes that Mr. Ripley, who was
unseated by Baron Martin on Friday afternoon,
meets with a good deal of sympathy in Bradford.
He began the election campaign certainly not as a
popular man, but progressed rapidly in favour, and
like the late member, Mr. M. W. Thompson, owed a
great deal of his popularity to the ladies, who have
warmly espoused his cause. When the decision
was known a large throng gathered round the court,
and loud cheers were raised by the friends of Messrs.
Forster and Miall. Mr. Forster and Mr. Ripley
were both present, and his lordship's language
created a profound impression on the auditory, as
he denounced in strong, emphatic, and unmistake-
able language the practices pursued by Mr. Ripley's
agents. Mr. Forster was loudly cheered, as also was
Mr. Ripley, when he left the court. The late mem-
ber's supporters are already on the aJert, and a pre-
liminary meeting was
,held on Saturday evening in
order to commence another electioneering campaign.

THE GALE,

GREAT DISASTERS IN THE WEST OF
ENGLAND.

CENTRAL PRESS, Monday Morning.
The Western Morning News of this morning contains
accounts of terrible disasters caused by the great gale of
yesterday morning. There was a fearful deluge of rain,
accompanied by the most appalling lightning and
thunder. The tide in Plymouth and other ports of Devon
and Cornwall was the highest known for thirty years. A
considerable portion of Plymouth - which especially through
Union-street, the long street connecting the three towns of
Plymouth, Stonehouse, and Devonport, lies low—was com-
pletely inundated, and one of the Royal Marines wax
unhappily drowned. In other towns the streets were con-
verted into deep rivers by the unparalleled rain. The
inmates had to leave their houses in boats, and there were
some most exciting scenes owing to the narrow escapes
from drowning. The shipping in Plymouth Sound rode out
the gale in safety, thanks to the Breakwater, although at
the latter end of last week a portion of the wall
of the Great Western Docks was washed away. At
Falmouth several collisions took place among the large
fleet of merchant vessels which crowded the harbour. The
French brig Charles Emma sank ; the crew were, fortu-
nately, saved. The barque Aldivalloch, of Sunderland,
also foundered, and the crew in this instance, too,were saved.
At Penzance, noted for its tremendous seas, the scene was
terrific, the great rollers from the Channel charging up
over the sands of Mount's Bay in a manner frightfully
grand. The ship Choice, of South Shields, wont
ashore on the Praa Sands at one o'clock in the
morning. The master, the second mate, and one seaman
were drowned ; eight men were saved by the use of rocket
lines brought from Porthleven and Prussia Cove. The
lifeboat was brought from a distance of ten miles in an
hour and three quarters after the news of the wreck hadb
een
received at the station. The boat put off again at seven
a.m, after having been out all night. The schooner
Padaran, of Abersthirsk, went down off the Start, and
all
hands were lost. _

-- -
The railways and telegraphs have suffered severely. Two
hundred yards of the long wooden viaduct of the West
Cornwall Railway, which skirts Mount's Bay between
Marazion and Penzance, have been washed away, and the
trains are unable to enter the town. This same viaduct
was destroyed several years ago. The South Devon
Railway has buen gre.ttly injured, and for a lon:,;
distance near Dawlish, where it runs across the
Famds at the foot of the ]ofty red-sandstone
cliffs, the line has been washed away, as it waik
during the " Royal Charter" gale. Traffic between Exeter
and Plymouth is thus completely cut off. At Dawlish, un-
happily, one man has been killed. The Electric and Inter,-
national Telegraph which follows the line of railway has
been either blown down by the hurricane or washed away
by the sea. The United Kingdom Telegraph line, which
is inland, is, however, still open.

The tempest still continues th. 3 ironCng, anal there is

MARKS,

The decrease in pressure which commenced in the West of Ireland
on Saturday afternoon extended subsequently to our other stations,
and readings yesterday were decreasing everywhere, though higher
in the north than on Saturday morning. This decrease seems to have
continued till to-day, and nearly all readings in these islands are
again below 291 n. The lowest is at Nairn, and is o'BBin, below that
at Rochefort. Temperature had increased considerably on Sunday
since which time not much change has occurred. During Saturday
hard south-weserly gales blew on all our coasts, being heaviest in
the S. and W. Yesterday the wind subsided in the north, where it
is still calm ; but at southern stations and in the west of France a
hard S.W. ga!e is still blowing. Rain has been very general, with
thunder and hail at some southern stations, The sky this morning is
cloudy, with rain in places, and the weather very unsettled. T
h.
sea is rather high in the Channel. Warnings repeated.

MARK LANE.

At Mark-lane this morning there was a moderate attend-
ance of buyers. The demand for English wheat was very
dull, and as many of the samples arrived in bad condition,
owing to the bad weather, a decline of is had to bo sub-
mitted to in order to efftct sales. Foreign was only
in retail demand at a similar decline. Wheat could be
bought for Cd per qr. less money. Barley, owing to heavy
arrivals of foreign, was also cheaper. Oats met with a
dragging sale at barely altered prices.

THE VOLUNTEERS.

" Hippophylax" writes again to the Times on the
subject of the Volunteers, and refers to the answer
of Colonel Loyd Lindsay. He admits that the
Colonel is well qualified to plead the cause of the
volunteers, but does not consider that he has refuted
the statement that the volunteers enter the
category of paid soldiers if they accept any
payment for their services. He thin". s that
if the money is to be invested for military pur-
poses at all, it will be more profitable to invest it in
a small number of regular soldiers than in a larger
proportion of paid volunteers. " Tiippophylax "
also disagrees with Colonel Lindsay about the para-
phernalia which are required for a defensive
force, and draws this deduction from the
Colonel's letter, that the volunteers themselves
recognise the difference between volunteering and
soldiering to be the same as that between a picnic
and a campaign. He concludes his remarks with the
assertion that the taxpayers, who are already over-
weighted, object to give more money in support of
such picnics, even when accompanied with competi-
tive sharpshooting for mugs and vases. They had
rather that the volunteers should be supported on a
voluntary basis, as their name implies they should be.

THE CHIEF COMMISS:CNEF.SITIP OF POL7C7.

The Home Secretary is still undectled as to whom
he shall put in the important pest so long filled by
Fir Richard Mayne. The rumours in connection
with the appo!ntment arc as plentful as blachbcrries,
but it is generally believed that the choice lies
between Mr. Knox, Captain haw, Mr. Thomas
Hug': . , Mr. Lech, Colonel Ewart, and ( rid
11(7Mb:twin. The Daily News expresses a Lep-i that
"for a pest which implies a disciplimry authority
ever tl:e police of three millions of people, the
Government will not cheese any gentleman who has
publicly betrayed prejudic es or antipathies with
n sp( et to pnrtiei I r classes; of her Maj esty's subjects."
cur to::temptravy i robably refi.ts to Mr. Elio;,
v ho, as the presiding magist:ato at -I‘L:rlhorougli-
street, in the summer of 180 G, rendered himself
extremely unpopular among the working classes by
the heavy fines and terms of imprisonment which he
inflicted on great nun-Leis of men who were directly
or indirectly mixed t p with the demolition of the
Hyde Park railings at the Reform League aemonstra-
t;on. The London correspondent of the Leeds
Mercury asserts that Sir Thomas Henry has received
and declined the offer. The rumour that Mr.
Hughes has been offered the post is not generally
creditel; and he believes that Mr. Knox will be the
final choice of the Home Secretary.
