Mrs. Mary Green, the wife of Griffen, and mo-

in New York of apoplexy What is singular in
her case, she seemed though in full health, to
have had the week before premonition of her
sudden death. She bade ''good bye" to one of
her sisters, now upon a journey, with the remark
that she should never see her daughter more

Of his life We offer him our sincere coincidence

The Orleans family, much as they suffer from
their exile, all Of them except the Dutchess Of
Orleans have resigned the hope of returning to
France The Prince de Joinyille is exceedingly
depressed his hearing is affected, and he suffers
from q disease of the liver, which prevents him
from all serious exertion. The Duke d'Aumale
spends his time in literary work, for which his
private library, with its rich collection of inter
esting manuscripts, offers abundant material.
They have reason to abandon the idea Of soon
re-entering their country. The party which once
supported the interests of Louis Philppe's family
is reduced to very small fraction Of its former
strength. Its chief men have gone over to the
Legitimists, and its rank and file to Bonaparte,
and every day sees new desertions. 1t seems
evident that Napoleon has annihilated the pre-
tensions of the house of Orleans to the French
throne. His only remaining rival is Henry w.,
and among intelligent Frenchmen the opinion is
general that this prince will come in on the dis
solution of the now impending empire.
EFFECT or CLIMATE ON CONSUMPTION.
Medical Faculty arc beginning to question the
opinion which has so long prevailed among med
ical men, that change Of climate is beneficial to
persons suffering with the consumption. Sir
James Clark, of England, has assailed the doc
trinc with considerable force, and French ply
sician, named Carriere, has written against it;
but the most vigorous opponent Of it is DR..
Burgess, of whom recent article in Chambers's
Edinburgh Journal gives an account. DR.. Bur-
CESS contends that climate has little or nothing
to do with the cure Of consumption, and that if
it had, the curative effects would be produced
through the skin, and not the lungs. That q
warm climate is not in itself beneficial, he shows
from the fact that the disease exists in all Int
tudes In India and Africa, tropical climates, ID
is as frequent as in Europe or Northern America.
All the curative resorts, in fashion, are more
productive Of consumption than any locality OF
| Great Britain, Naples, Florence, Nice, Genoa,
Venice, all generate more consumption than Lon
don. Liverpool, Edinburgh and Manchester. Ma
deira the chosen paradise of pulmonary patients,

AK and Montpelier are no better, if not worse.
Pisa is worse than all so that Italian climate for
consumption-cure is pronounced an arrant 'hum-
bug" Change Of air, in the same climate, is the
sanatiye theory Of Dr. Burgess, deduced from the
most expansive observations and industrious ex-
pcriments in "climatology.' 'Givc me Italy or
! perish, give us a warm climate, which is
now the fashionable cry OF rich patients, will
soon BE- changed "to change of air at home" in
the opinion of DR.. Burgess, whose new theory

person who labors under this affective malady,
and cannot take voyage to Italy.
