I teser an Edia6urg.-We have the satisfaction to
state, the highest medical authority that the fever
which ins prevailed for the last six weeks or two
months IN this city rapidly subsding The disease
Ill many cases assumed tho form of Typhus, and
vas frequently protracted to the unusual period of
81, and even 40 days. 1t deserves to be noted as
one pecu!larity OF this fever, that it has chiefly at
lacked &c higher casses and while it was preya
!ent all over the New Town, and also in the southern
district, IN those places in short, which are the
most spacious and the best aired,--it was much
less prevalent III The High street, or in the crowded
tenements and closes of the Cannopgate, where the
popliaton is more dense as well poorer, than in

fever to appear when it is not seen any where else
The cause of this peculiarly, of the general ex-
stcnce OF the disease the best lical authorities
profess themselves unable TO explain. By some it is
ascrDea to the moist and mild weather which pre-
vailed owards the end of the year. But this hvpo-
thesis Is not generally approved of and it is evident
hdeed lt III this case all classes would have shared
equally III the aftilctng visitation. The disease is
undoubtedly contagi ous in a certain degree and it
has attacked Chiefly young persons under 20 years of
age. 1t began to appear in November, when few
scattered cases first observed In the course of
December tcame to its height, when the number of
cases was unusully great, beyond, indeed, what had
ever been experienced before. It does not seem 10
have been peculiarly fatal; there were, we under
stand great proportion Of cases extremely mild
the deaths which took place. though they were nume-
rous and frequent, bore but small proportion TO
the number affected. 1t is certain, however as we
have already stated, that the Dalady is rapidlv aha
ting, and there is every to believe, that the
usual salubrity Which generally prevails III this CITY,
will soon be restored We think it necessary to
make tis statement, IN order TO quiet the exaggera
ted alarms which are prevalent in the country this
subject particularly among those who have friends
relatives in MISUNDERSTANDING Euening Courant.
