that kind OF an editor. 1t is all well
enough to talk about the law remedying

possible is made for their recovery and
to prevent the disease from increasing.
but so far unsuccessfully. The well is
situated opposite the American house
and supplies large number of families.
1t has been IN use years, and never be-
fore has it been known to affect persons
in the least No analysis of the water
has yet been made, owing to the alb
sence of Prof. Collier. 1t is. however.
believed by our physicians that it is
heavily loaded with organic matter,
and they call the epidemic the gastreen-

has been ordered to force all entrance,
If necessary, with his entire fleet OF
iron-clads. A despatch from Constan-
tinople states that if this is done and
the ships enter the Bosphorus the Mus
covItes will occupy the city at once,
and despatch to the London Standard
from Vienna even asserts that twelve
Russian battalions will march in to-day.
According TO a semi official telegram
from ConstantinOple received at Athens,
the Porte has intimated that it would
order the forts to fire oil the fleet. In
well informed ciIcles at Vienna it is
considered probable that the Porte will
grant tirman for the entry of the Brit
lsh fleet, i'll view of a Russian Occupa-
ton Of COnstantinOple. The London
Telegraph's Pera correspondent believes
that the British feet has been ordered
to proceed up the straits, and he does
not apprehend that the Porte will offer
active resistance. There are the most
active preparations for war in all the
English dOckyards.
