THE PEsTrLENCE IN CANADA. DIR. Doug
lass, health officer below Quebec, wrote to Mr..
Buchanan, for the information of the Mayor
of that city, dated Crosse Isle, June 81 as fol-
lows
"But out of the four or five thousand that
left this since Sunday, at least t'co thousand
will fall sick somewhere before three weeks
are over. They ought to have accommoda-
ton for two thousand sick, at least,ln Nontre,
al and Quebec, as all the Cork and Liverpool
passengers are half dead from starvation and
want before en,barking; and the least bowel
complaint, which is sure to come with change
of food, finishing them without struggle,
never saw people so indifferent to life; They
could continue in the same berth with dead
person until the seamen or captain dragged
| out the corpse with boat-hooks.
"Good God what evil will betal the city
wherever they alightl Hot weather will IN
crease the evil.
"Now give the authorities of Quebec ano
Montreal fair warning from me. Public safe
ty requires it."
The Montreal Herald Of Saturday re
marks:
cdr. Douglass's apprehensions are alread,
fulfilled here. Our marine hospital is film!
up fast-236 patients in it this morning, an'
there is only room for 800. Sheds are benz
erected on the vacant ground adjoining tina

ring quarrel between them on board
steamboat on which they were both employed
The defendants counsel offered in mitigation
of corporeal punishment, that johnson had
been severely burnt about three years ago,
by the bursting Of boiler on board the steam
err Osccola. The following conditional YER
dict was returned by the Court;
If upon examination by the physician OF

receiving corporal punishment without lnhu-

months; the first week of each month to be
in solitary confinement, and TO be eommenc-
cd by his receiving 20 lashes the other three

SHIP FEVER. The last Rutland Herald states
that several cases of ship fever have occurred IN
that town, among emigrants who had recently ar
rived in this country, and who were seeking en-
plovment in that section. Reports of similar ma
ture come from different sections, and the belief Is
entertained by many, that this fever is contagious
and rs dangerous as the small poX. AS nearas we
can learn, however, but few persons coming in con-
fact with this diseasearc affected by it, except those
who attend upon the sick until they are worn down
from their excessive labors, and have been for a
lone time inhaling the infected atmosphere But
wisdom would dictate that people do not unnecessa-
rlv place themselves in close connection with those
oalicted with this maady. No doubt exists that ships
which have long been at sea, and have had many
cases of ship fever or scurvy on board, become SC
much infected that person remaining long in sucl
vessel, would be very liable to an attack of sucl
disease. We think however, that there is not the
same liability to spreading such contogion in
sparaoly populated region Of country.
