SUN-sTROKE,

Summer in all its scorcbing fury is at last
fairly upon us, bringing the sudden, terrific dis
eases peculiar to the season. The commOnest
and perhaps the most fatal of these is the Sun
stroke; and as our reports show cases of it to be
even now of almost daily occurrence, few
timely hints upon its nature, approved mode OF
treatment, and the most convenient preyentiyes,
may be of much advantage.
These attacks occur after sudden great exer-
ton in persons previously debilitated, or whose
systems have been deraDged and Frustrated by
incorporate habits, by exposure, over work, uI-
wholesome or mesger food, snd the like. The case
ress mbles apople1y in some Of its external fe1-
tues AID ia often mistaken for IT, bat il truth is
very different; the brain is not congested as in
that disease. 10 elfusiOn Of blood or serum on
the brains surface; the patient is pale, cold ami
quiet; or, as is often the case, be is conyulsed
and has tremors Ike one in delirium tremens,
both on approaching and recovering from lnsen-
sibility-bis pulse weak, quick and frequent, 100
to 100. On the contrary in apOplexy he is flushed,
heaying aud stertorous, or bis breathing is very
bare-pulse full, strong and slow. 1t differs en-
tirel! from aPoplexy IN requiring stimulation
from the commencement; bleeding, which the
rew schools hardly ever allow, is fatal in sun
.trcke-maDy cases are lost by it; indeed one
half Of all die.
To laborers who are exposed, aud especially
liable to this visitation, we would give a few
plain, simple directions TO be followed nmedi-
ately On the appearance Of an attack. Give the

THE LATE nEpuLsE OF TIE ALLIES

The mail Of the Canada reached US last even
ing from Boston, with Gen. Pelissiers report
ou the repulse of the Allies on the 18Th of
June (Which will be found in our columns to-
day. and with other dOcuments whi:h complete
the history of that disastrous affair. Having
thus before us all necessary sources Of informa-
tioT, we proceed to give our readers an exact
and impartial analysis of the entire operation.
With regard to its general character it is enough
to say that Of the many laundering affairs we
have bac to notice in this Eastern war, this is
by far the most perfe ct piece of bungling.
The French advanced trenches were fcom 400
TO 500, and the English from 500 to 700 yards
from the Russian batteries. These distances
msrk the lengths of road which the respective
columns Of attack had to pass over without
cover fTem the Russian fire, and unsupported
by the fire OF their own artillery; with sharp
running, then, such as would destroy every yes
tige of order, they would be exposed to FIRE OF
grape and musketry during from three to five
minutes, time quite sufficient to completely
disorgsnize them. This single fact is charac-
terieuc of the whole plan. Unless the enemy's
FIRE were completely sIleuctd, and the accumu-
lation Of large masses of troops in the hostile
works effectively prevented by incesssnt vertical
she'll firing, there was not the slightest chance
of success.
The Russians appear TO lave judged well of
The plans of The Allies, if they were not, as
Pelissier supposes, fully acquainted with them.
They but feebly replied to the besieging fire on
The 18th, withdrew their guns behind the para
pets during the day, and blinded the enbra-
sures, 80 that scarcely any were disabled for the
next GAYS work This wss decidedly the best
plan, as their object could not be to extiugaish
the en- suy S fire at that time. During the night
the guns were brought back into thei' positions,
tie columns and reserves told off for the de-
Tense were stationed, and thus they were III
condition to meet any assault that could be made
upon their position.
The plan agreed upon betSeen Pc issier and
Raglan was to reopen their FIRE at dayoreak on
he 18th with all the yigor they could give TO
it for couple of hours, and then on a sudden to
launch simultaneously seven storming columns
one French agans; the baStion close to the
Careen'ng Bay, two French against the Mala-
koh bastion, three English sgains. the Rcdln
bastion anc enc English against thu cluster OF
houses and the cemetery situated between the
Redan and the head Of the inner harbor. This
plan was sensible enough if there was to be an
assault at all; its execution would subdue the
