Health Of Cumberland.

We are almost afraid to speak Of
The hrullh nf Cumberland, as we ara
told the people in the country d" nut
believe what the newspapers say
We must be permitted 10 remark,
however, that the reports in regard
10 the sickness here have been must
uurraguously exaggerated. 1t has
been ha,i enough. but why add to it
len fnldl The cholera has visited us
and has desnlatrd many home. But
the number Of deaths during the sum.
mpr, of all diseases, has not probably
exceeded $50. Now ifthe reports
that have been circulated far and
wide were true, the number would
have reached many hundreds.
As for the health Of Cumberland
at the present. time, "" would say
that during the pat week We have
heard ns hut ume authenticated death
by cholrra, and no new cases Of the
disease. There have been number
o' cases Of bilious fever and chiits
and feyers, but these have yielded
readily to medical treatment. The
weather. SIC ale happy to say, is now
favorable for the ex;irpaliun Of every
kind of disease, aud we hope in our
next paper to he ahle to ann"nnre
that Cumberland is as healthy as it
ever wus at any period Of its history

with our own country, this Review 6rst unfured

Of those events presented in the pages of that dis

those perilous days to be found, perhaps, in the

that at length the leaders of the Tory party, al
whom the thunders of its eloquence were especial

be resisted by ordinary means, and hence they es-

THE LONDON QTARTELY REVIEW

whereby to counteract that influence which its pow
erful rival exerted against their measures. The
two great political parties thus made strenuous eff
forts through their respective organs, for the pro-
mitigation oftheir antagonist principles and dur
ing long series of years, these two leading Peri
oicals have concentrated the labors, the talent,
and the influence Of the adherenIs Of the Wing and
Tory parties Of Great Britain.
Men Of the highest literary rank, as dignitaIies
civil and ecclesiastic, have contributed TO the pages
of these works among them might be mentioned
some Of the most resplendent names on the scroll
Of fame. Among the regular contributors to the
London Quarterly Review were Southey, Scott
Lockhart lis present ejitor), Appearson Fergu-
son, Wordsworth, Lord Mahan, DR. Mman (whusc
articles on Oriental literature have been highly
esteemed and that wonderful women of science,
Mrs. SomeIyie, with many others scarcely less
celebrated. Then again in the Edinburgh Review,
it is enough to mention the following names, any
one which it might be associated we refer to
JefTreys. Napier, Brougham, Mackintosh, and
McCaulny the first of whom duling his long con-
ne1ion with the Review actually wIote, on the av-
ersge one third Of the articles that graced its bril-

doubt as to their great intrisic merit.
