which occured during the laft month, in 
my own practice, terminated fatally. 
An adult, in whom the rafh was not 
confiderable, but whofe throat was very 
much ulcerated, became, on the third 
day of the eruption, fuddenly frantic and 
ungovernable, the rafh difappearing, and 
the ulcerations of the throat being 
almoft inftantly healed. This mode of 
termination is not unfrequent in the {car- 
Jatina anginofa. The phrenetical ftate 
remains afterwards for one, two, or 
three weeks. 
Both the fmall-pox, and the hooping- | 
cough, which were the prevailing com- — 
plaints during many months of the pre- 
fent year, are now confiderably on the 
decline.

for fome time paft has been produdtive 
of violent dilforders of the bowels, he- 
morrhagies, coughs, pleuritic ftitches, 
and a variety of inflammatory complaints; 
among which, acute rneumatifm, and ca- 
tarchalinfiammation, have been the moft 
prevalent. 
Intermittents have not, this autumn, 
been very numerous. ‘They occur, for 
the moft part, in perfons who have re- 
fided fome time in the neighbourhood of 
marfhes. We muft not, however, con- 
fider marfh effluvia as the univerfal caufe 
of intermittents, fince it is found that 
perfons confiantly refiding in the moft, 
healthy parts of the metropolis are fome- 
times alfected with them, as happened 
in the two cafes above put down amongit 
the periodical difeafes.

Grocks have experienced a con(ide- 
rable rife fince our laft. The prefent 
_ high prices are owing partly to the tem- 
porary influx of money, which the pay- 
ment of the dividend has occafioned, 
and partly to the expectations of peace, 
founded on the miffion of Lord Malmef- 
bury. Doubtlefs, however, the prin- 
cipal caufe is a certain /peculation, which 
is neceflary to keep up the market, at 
the prefent moment, when nearly THIR- 
‘TEEN MILLION of navy bills, &c. are 
about to be taken from the floaung debt, 
and funded! When thefe caufes, which 
are temporary, ceafe, it is apprehended 
the funds will again fall to the prices of 
September laf. The fuppofition that 
navy bills will be funded in 3 and 4 
per cents. has given a fuperiority to the 
fives which they never before expe- 
Tienced. ;
