Pro Bono PubIico.

To the Editor Of the Commercial Advertiser:
SIR -" Prevention is better than cure" even
when cases are durable. and it behooves the govern
ment to take at once vigorous and effective measures
to prevent the further spread of that dreadful disease,
Ma. Pake, which is at present taking such giant
and deadly strides through the life Of this people.
One year ago there was but one case Of Mai Pake
in this part of the district, and that poor native is
now in a state shocking to humanity, still no meas
ures have been taken for his removal from amongst
the people, but On the contrary. hundreds of natives
have been compelled to 60 or send to the very house
he lives in to pay their taxes! And now within a dis
lance Of FIVE miles from that house cases of this in
durable disease may be counted by the dozen, who
are all left to mingle with and spread still further
its deadly ravages amongst our population
This surely, Mr.. Editor, is a state Of things which
calls loudly for immediate steps to be taken to pre-
vent the further spread of this disease from contagion,
by having all the diseased cases collected and
strictly kept apart in buildings for that purpose,
there to be treated by the skillful hand of the
physician.
This will require money, but the life of this people
is worth more than money, and while We can point

European News.

The London Globe hopes that one Of the frst acts
of the Dano- German Conference will be to compel
the belligerents TO desist.
The bombardment Of Duppel was vigorously sus-
tanned during the 9TH. The bombardment of Sender.
berg recommended on the Sd with extraordinary
vigor. The Prussians had completed their second
parallel.
The lDano-Germanl Conference meets in London
on the 18th.
All difficulties as to the Mexican Crown have been
adjusted. Macmillan was to receive q depntation
on the 10th to formerly accept it and would sail on
the 1lth or 18th for Mexico.
Cardwell, NJ. P, in a speech ut Oxford, said that
he thought the conference on the Danish question
made a satisfactory result and strongly urged neu-
trality in the American war.
The Emperor of Austria has allowed the formation
of a corps of 6 900 volunteers and 800 sailors for the
Mexican Empire.
The Prussians had canonnaded Duppel without
warning. Sonderberg was bombarded on the Sd and
burned. The Austrians and Prusians bad turned the
position OF Duppel by crossing to Alsen Island. Den
mark sends one Minister to the Conference. A tele-
gram says 5000 Danes had defeated the Prussians
at Viele.
The Courts of London, Rome. Vienna. Berlin. st.
Petersburg, Spain and France, agree to recognize
the Emperor of Mexico Immediately on his accession.
The Prussians had driven in the Danish outposts
and occupied a position $50 PAGES nearer Duppel than
the first parallel. The works were uninjurcd by the
bombsrdment. The bombardment of Sonderberg has
ceased. The town was burning in several places.
Eighty women and children were killed. 1t was
reported the town would be destroyed.
The Tories are mastering their utmost strength for
a we'll organized attack on the Government in Parlia-
ment. The Paris Pays speaks of n serious conflict
which is said to have taken place in Jutland between
an Austrian regiment and a Prussian regiment. The
Vienna papers give q positive official denial OF the
report that a revolt had been planned among the
Hungarian troops in the Austrian army. and that. in
consequence, wholesale executions had taken place.
Lord Palmerston has pronounced his belief that so
long as the Government pursues q policy OF unremit-
ting endeavoring to maintain peace, it will have the
support of the country. and Earl Russell also con-
siders that for the peace of Europe everything that
conference and negotiation can do ought to be done
before any hostile steps should be taken.
In the divorce case O'Kane vs.. Lord Palmerston.
the petitioner has withdrawn and consequently the
petition is dismissed. In concluding the case the
judge ordinary remarked the court cannot part
with the suit without one word with respect to the
respondent. 1t is q matter of great satisfaction
to the Court that a name which is never mentioned
in England without just pride should pass from its
annals without a STAIN This remark met with
considerable applause which there was no attempt to
suppress.

to such a monument Of public liberality as the
Queens Hospital. We need have no fears that any
vital sanitary measure will fail for want Of public

appropriate the necessary funds when the immense
Importance Of the nuisance is fully understood.

that the Mai Pake is the real leprosy; that it is now
in our midst and attacking the best of our popula-
aon, is evident to those who go amongst the people;
and as 1t is highly contagious, the foreigners no less
than the natives are alike subject to its deadly and
tncurable attacks. This is, l think, a subject that
