THE FEVER.

At present, when lever is so alarmingly prevalent;
every precaution to prevent infection should be taken.
Let damp air be shut out, and fr.-qtrent tires burned
in every chamber where the sick are not confined.—:.
Let the rick blot to the wants of the floor.
NE WRY, SEPTE4Iamt 9.—Since the 12th of July
133 patients have been received into the lever hospi-
tal. Of these 112 have perfectly recovered, 33 are
convalescent, 7 have dieJ, and 31 remain in the hos-
pital. The numb: of each sex visited with this
dreadful fever, seems to be neatly equal. Of the
seven patients who expired in the hospital, five only
died of typhus.
SLIGO, SEPITNIRER G.—We are sorry to learn that
Ballina and its vicinity still continues in an unhealthy
state; and that the town of Boyle has been visited
by, and is suffering under the influence of fever.
KILKENNY. SEPT. 6.—Yesterday, six persons were
discharged from the Fever-house, in a state of eintr-
valescence. Trifling as this staternlnt may appear,
the tact will affard c,ansiderable relief to the ..fll cted
poor, as many appl.cai ions were unavoidably relived
from the want of suflizient accommodation, until
Close cures were eff:cted. It is proper to add, that
although many cases of fever exist in the crowded
pats ot this city and suburbs, no extraordinary mor-
tality prevails, and we rather thank the frightful 'dis-
ease is on the wane.--Wednesday evening a mart
about 30 years of age, was brought to tire house in
the last stage of a putrid fever, who, notwithranding
every medical and kind attention, expired in the
course of the night. He had been found in a wood
near Ennisnag, where he is supposed to have lain at
least two nights. As the man was not able to arti-
culate, his name is unknown. It is presumed he was
a taylor travelling !or employment, as the only ar•
ticks found in Ins possession, besides a penny-piece;
were a taylor's thimble and a skene of thread.

Lord Itivens's beantiful Estate at Startfieldsay is
About to be purchased as a proper residence for his
Grace the Duke ul WErusorosi. Mr. WYATT, the
Architect, has already been down, and has marked

wait the Duke's approbation, by a visit to the place
in person, before the purchase will be completed._
This estate is situate on the borders of Hampshire, in
the parish of Heckfield. and is about seven miles and
a half from Reading. and 38 from London.
