DEATH OF VISCOUNT DE MOIRA.—The Journal
of St. Petersburg, of the 24th inst., announces the sudden
death of the Viscount de Moira, Envoy Bxtraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of Portugal at the
Court of St. Petersburg, on the 22d inst. Viscount

Moira was many years Secretary of the Portuguese Em-
bassy at the Court of St. James's. His talent and bearing
had gained for him in this country and in Russia a large
number of friends, who will deeply regret his loss.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.—The beneficial effect of the Con-
tagious Diseases Act, 1866, among the military has resulted in
the formation of an association for its extension to the
civil population. A meeting of the committee took place
on Wednesday last at the house of W. T. Mitford, Esq.,
M.P., 12, Cavendish•rquare, W. Present----Mr. Skey,
F.R.S., Major General Downing, Sir H. Thompson, Dr.
Tilbury Fox, Mr. Ernest Hart, Dr. Vintras, Dr.
Inglis, &'. The secretary announced that steps
had already been taken to form branch associa-
tions in many parts of England and Ireland—Bath, Ox.
ford, Brighton, Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Cheltenham, Clifton,
Kidderminster, Exeter, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Read-
ing, St. Leonard's, &c. Sir John Pakington had written
to approve of the association, and to express his opinion
that it would do very much good. The subcommittee
appointed to draw up the "laws " of the association sub-
mitted their report. The subscription is fixed at half a
guinea a year. The secretaries were instructed to draw
up a report especially as to the objects of the association
and the information received from time to time in reference
to the prevalence of enthetic disease in different parts of
England and the present working of the Contagious Diseases
Act in the navy and the army, and this will by made
public as soon as possible.
THE FEVER IN ESSEX. —A well-informed correspondent
writes to us concerning the fever at Terling :—" Up to the
present time there have been about 240 cases, with 22
deaths ; while there are many cases wanting but little to
turn the quivering balance between life and death.
Lord Rayleigh has willingly offered to provide a
convalescent home for children, and it is already
in progress ; and when in work it will help to
diminish very materially the existing overcrowding,
until more effectual means are brought about. Real
working nurses are sadly wanted here. The first case of
the real outbreak occurred, not at Terling•place, but at what
is called The Dairy Farm,' in the immediate vicinity.
This case was quickly followed by scattered ones through.
out the parish, which, at the time of the last census, had a
proportion of 002. Nor was it possible, so far as I could
ascertain, to trace the first scattered cases to the
source of infection whence others have tried to trace
them, viz., the Dairy Farm. The first fatal case was that of
a woman, who, from accounts gleaned from her husband, had
h d. no communicatio❑ with the tainted spot ;' but her
il'ness (and the case was one of the earliest) commenced
after a long and exhausting walk upon a soaking wet day.
And this state of things may, I think, be readily explained
by the frost, thaw, and subsequent percolation of water
from the surface through ground charged in many places
with the excreta of typhoid fever patients ; true, these
excreta had been more or less treated with chloride of lime,
but privies open to the air above, and bounded below by no
barrier save a gravelly soil, are treacherous receptacles fot
such matter," —British Medical Journal.

RECOGNITION OF A GALLANT ACT.-1110 directors
of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company
have resolved to present a handsome gold chronometer
with a chronograph, worth 100 guineas, to Captain Kuhn
the commander of the corvette Venita, of the Prussian
Navy, as a token of their gratitude for services rendered
by him to the passengers and crew of their steamship
Singapore, I:fter the wreck of that ill-fated vessel in
August last. The chtouometer, which is of beautiful
workmanship, and an excellent specimen of its branch of
art, has been manufactured by Mr. Jones, 338, Strand.
THE PHYSICIAN'S CANE AND COAT.—The gold-
headed cane, formerly carried by physicians, was long
believed to contain some safeguard against infection. There
is a collection of such canos in the College of physicians.
One of the last physicians who bore the gold-headed cane
was Dr. Baillie. The last man in London who is believed
to have worn the scarlet coat, flap waistcoat, and frilled
sleeves, was a quack doctor, who lived in the corner of
Salisbury-square; and who might be seen any. day pacing
the pavement in front of his establishment until he took to
his bed and died of extreme old age.--Leisure Hour.
