As the feafon of the year has arrived in 
which fevers of the typhous kind ufually 
conititute a large part of the catalogue of 
difeafes, the number in the prefent lift 
The princi- 
wili not excite any fuprize. 
—a Se ; 
pal eccafion of regret is, that during thofe 
months in which, in the common courfe 
of things, this clafs of difeafes does not 
make a confpicuous figure, it has lately 
very much engaged the attention of prac- 
titioners. in our le report we were 
happy to announce, that the difeafe had 
affumed a milder form, that the affections 
of the brain were lefs violent, and that the 
inftances of a fatal termination were le{s 
frequent. In the cafes which have fince 
occurred, the delirium has been lefs vio- 
lent: it has been rather of that low, mut- 
tering kind, which we have been formerly 
accuftomed to obferve in this fpecies of 
fever. But though the brain has been lefs 
violently affetted, the effeéts of the difeafe 
upon this organ have continued longer 
than ufual. : 
In one inftance, after the termination of 
the fever, the patient fell into that ftate of 
intellectual derangement which Nofologifts 
have diftinguifhed by the term Amentia. 
A general inattention to furrounding 
objects, and an indifference to every per- 
fon and to every thing about them, to- 
gether with an indifpofition to take in ne-. 
ceflary food, are charatteriftics of this 
difeafe. The patient referred to, continued 
in this ftate for feveral days, but feems 
_ now to be gradually recovering from it. 
In one of the cafes fymptoms of hemiple- 
gia occurred at the clofe of the fever; and 
in another, fuch a lofs of recolle&tion, and 
other fymptoms of mental debility, as pro- 
duced the appearance of premature old age. 
Dyfenteries have very frequently oc- 
curred during the laft few weeks. Thefe 
have been attended with the ufual fymp- 
toms of ‘a mild difeafe, and have not, in 
any of the cafesreferred to, proved fatal.

At the late meeting of the Gloucefterfhire 
Society, M. Hickes Beach, efq. Prefident, 
in the Chair, the fum of 1701. 5s. 6d. (in- 
cluding the liberal benefattions of abfentees) 
was. contributed for the purpofe of appren- 
tiging poor boys, fons of natives of that couns 
ty, and for relieving, in the period of child- 
bed, poor women natives, or-the wives of

The effects of the Eaft India Company in 
England and afloat, confifting of annuities, 
cafh in the treafury, goods fold and not paid 
jor, goods unfold, cargocs afloat, and other 
articles in their commerce, amounted, in thé 
year 1800, to 16,135,950). 
The fale of the Company’s goods, which, in 
the year 1793, were eftimated, on an average, 
to amount to 4,938,300l. amounted, in the 
laft year, to 7,367,7271. Maar 
By the lift of the thips loft by the Eaft India 
Company, from the year 1757, to the feafon

by accident, 10 taken by the French, and,33: 
wrecked at fea. :
