THE EPIDEMIC.-Tbc report OF in,erments
in The city for The week ending Saturday morning
at 9 O'Clock shows a total Of 1873, ct which 4S
we're from yellow fever. The corresponding IL
CURES Tor The preceding week were al and ST.
This shows a slight ameliUrat!on in the health
Of tie city. Scarcely any change is indicated by
Inc Charity Hospital report, the total number o.!
admissions Tor the week ending a. 6 O'Clock last
evening (Oci 9lh) being 100 against 1877 the week
previous, and The deaths from yellow fever being
81, The same as during the preceding week. The
discharge OF yellow fever the last week al The Hos
| pital were So against 10 the previous week.
We are persuaded that the epidemic finds a
great number Of IFS victims among strangers and
pnacclima.ed residents now returning, though
cases 10 constantly occur among those who have
been here Throughout The season. The fever an
pears 10 fucluate slightly with changes in The
weather, il we may rely upon the reports made
10 MS from respectable sources. We regret that
we cannot pronounce il safe Tor absent friends ard
strangers TO come amongst Us. But as the dis
ease is falling of by degrees we may hope that
it will soon become extinct, unless il Is fed BY Inc
imprudencc OF those who are so anxious 10 return
