The Railroad bubble has bursted, every
man Of common sense might have anticipated
and has overwhelmed thousands in ruin. The
explosion has produced shock in England,
though the full extent of the ruin is not yet
known. A few cunning and scheming indiVi-
dua!s have accumulated princey estates by the
humbug, whilst it has brought dcsolation to the
fresides of those who had more credulity than
scpnd judgment.
r1rFEcv OF THE FoREIGN News ON THE
MARgETs The English intelligence received
here on Saturday morning by the arrival of the
steamer Massachusetts,, created considerable o1-
element in our -four market, and holders run
the price up first to 1926, and then to $3.50,
hu. 10 sales were effected at these rates. In the
afternoon the advices by the Britannia, thirteen
DAYS later, were received, which took specula-
tors "all aback, >" as a slight decline had taken
place in Europe. We could not hear of any
sales, but holders would have accepted s6.25,
pend on the effect of the news on the N. York
market.
In N. York on Friday, letters received by the
Massachusetts, caused sales of 1000 barrels at
$6,75, and subsequently 500 barrels at 81, when
holders declined selling. The True Sun says
prices were fully 25 cen;s higher for all kinds
after the news by the Britannia were received
on Friday evening; and that wheat was up to
lA0c., rye see, oats see, and yellow corn 90c'
SMALL Pox. We publish, in another column
OF to-day's paper, a communication from Dr.
IYrot, of Washington city, on tho subject Of
d.. Stark's work on the Small Pox--in which
DR.. Wroe makes some suggestions which may
prove interesting to gentlemen of the medical
faculty, and useful to the public.
We have also received letter from another
gentleman in Washington city on the same sub
lest. He says-"l was vaccnatcd in 1906,
when a youth Of IL or is years-have been
vaccinatod sncc--and four different times, and
az places distant from each other in the United
States, and after the lapse or interval of seve-
raj years between each, have been innoculated
for the small poX, and it would not take effect
have been exposed to the infection in pest or
qock-houses, several times, and could not take
it,
ibis is subject upon which we profess en-
tire ignorance. We long entertained the opin-
ion that the small pox could not be taken a Sc
cond time, and that nnocuaton and success
iul vaccination were sure protectives against
the discasc-bat as it is the prevailing opinion
that revaccination at intervals of some years is
necessary to guard against the small pox, we
recommend the adoption Of that precaution.
Whilst on this subject, we shall be excused
for referring to the bad location of the present
small pox hospital Of this city, and for express
sing tho hope, that the City Councils will take
prompt measures to have Il commodious build
my erected on the settle lately examined and
selected by the Mayor and City Physician
The improvements in the Eastern section of
tho city, Will soon place the present small poX
hospital in dangerous proximity to private
dwellings; aad public security therefore re-
qui7as that it shall be removed with as little
delay as possible. In a matter of so much i'm
por,ance, we trust that the ''penny wise and
pound ioolish' policy will not be adopted.
We arc informed, that by adopting the pro-
posed location for the small poX hospital, an
other advantage would be obtained, tending to
promote the health of the city. 1t is this
vessels some times arrive with disease on
board. At present there is no place to which
the sick can be removed, the buildings at the
Lazare,to being occupied by the United States.
The sick have to be retained on board, con-
fined 70 the impure air of the vessel. When
without small pox cases the hospital could be
used for disca ed passengers-or, Gas u tract of
land will have to be purchased for the hosp-
tai y another building could be erected hereaf
ter, for the express accommodation Of persons
arriving in infected vessels. 1t is wise econo-
nv 20 lay out money to preserve life.
STEAMSHIP HlBERNIA Rus ASHORE, The
Hibernia steamship, Capt Ryric, from Boston,
via Halifax for Liverpool, struck ON the point
of Cape Race, N. F., on the 9th inst-put into
St. Johns, N. F., for repairs She was put a.
shore at the latter place, as there was no dock
large enough for her, and her injury found to
be very slight, and confined to the fore foot OF
the vessel. Capt. r. decided to box off small
space on the inside of the vessels cut-water,
and make the same water tight. She was to
