Some French physicians have reviewed 
in the Annale des Chimie, our Reports 
on the. Watcneren Fever; and they 
justly express their astonishment, thar, 
although so large a premium was given 
to Dr. Smiru for ‘his fumigatiig expe. 
riments, yet no mention is made of the 
use of fumigation to, check that fatally 
contagious disease. Surely so. gross a 
neglect deseryes an especial investigation 
of parliament. 
Our Reports relative to Dr. Davy’s

vsystem of this variable science, ill its 
elementary, principles are somewhat bet-

An excellent p!an has been formed by 
~Mr. Josepn Day; of Macclesfield, for 
the purpose of improving the mode of 
registering baptisms, marriages, and 
deaths, and facilitating the legal proof of 
the particulars connected with the par- 
ties to whom they refer. He proposes, 
“that in the case of baptisms, the trade or 
profession of the father, when and where 
the parents were born and married, 
should be inserted in the register. With 
respect ‘to marriages also, the trade or 
profession of the husband, and when and 
where the parties were born; and, in the
