Summer being now eftablithed, is; of 
courfe, accompanied with its recular re- 
tinue of difeafes. Thefe are principally 
feverith or inflammatory, Many in- 
ftances of typhus, fcarlatina, and rubeo- 
Ja, have occurred, wearing, at their ear- 
“Tiet flage, the phyfiognomy of danger; 
but their more ferious and alarming {ymp- 
toms were expediticufiy fubdued by the 
recently amelioiated method of managing 
this clafs of difotders. © Frequent and uni- 
verfal ablution conititutes the mot im- 
portant part of this managemenr, and, 
in many cafes, the only part perhaps that 
is abfolutely effential, Feveis may, in 
general, be wajked away, without the 
auxiliary co-operation of any other reme- 
dy, excepting that degree of either pkar- 
maceutical or dietetic fupport which may 
be neceflary to prevent an entire and pre. 
misture exhauftion of the powers and fta- 
mina of life. 
Corporeal cleanlinefs ought to be added 
to the lift of the cardinal virtues, as not 
only being more conducive than any of 
them to the welfare of the body, but as 
it is connected with, and, for the mot 
part, implies a certain degree of delicacy 
and purity of mind. 
Recently have been fubjefied to the no- 
tice ard care of the Reporter feveral very 
interefting cafes of pulmonary affection, 
which, although they are always ferious, 
and, in their nature, dittrefling, he woul 
fcarcely, in any inftance, be difpofed to pro- 
nounce fo defperate, as utterly to preclude 
the poffibility of a favourable termination. 
A phyfician® of the largeft experience, 
and of the moft nice and penetrating dif- 
crimination, is able fo obfcurely and pre= 
caricufly to conjeéture the aétual condi- 
tion of the interior firu@ture, from con 
templating the external phenomena of the 
living frame, that rarely can he be juftt- 
ficd in prediéting, 
decifion, the inevitable fatality. of a dif- 
order, 
During the anxious period of his pras 
fefiional probation, the Reporter has ob- 
ferved fo many inftances of a refurre&ion 
from the fimilitude of hopelefs difeafe} 
that he has, at length, learnt the im- 
portant leflon—in no circumfances, to 
relinguith altogether an anticipation of 
ultimate recovery or relief, until the mo- 
ent when the effential faculties of refpi- 
ration and deglutition have been entirely 
and irevocably falpended.

INCIDENTS, MARRIAGES, anv DEATHS in ann near LONDON: 
With Biographical Memeirs of diftinguifhed Charaders recently deceafed, 
HE projected improvements in Weftmin- 
fter-Hall will be proceeded on during the 
enfuing vacation. ‘The new Court of King’s 
Bench is to be’ built on the oppofite fide of the 
Hall to the Common Pleas, next the Speaker’s 
Court-yard. This has long been wanted, as 
the prefent Court is confiderably too fmall 
for the accommodation required. That which 
is now the Exchequer-Bil]: Office is to be con- 
verted into a room for the accommodation of 
the Grand Jury, and feveral adjoining apart- 
ments are to be built for the convenience of 
the Judges’ attendants, and the Officers of the 
Court, On the exterior part of the Hall, 
mext the Abbey, four Coffee-houfes are to be 
erected for the accommodation of Barrifters 
witnefles, &c. and all the theds which now

On the morning of the 5th of June, foon 
after three o’clotk, @ fire broke out at the 
Key, a celebrated bagnio, in Chandos-ftreet. 
The accident was occafioned by a gentleman 
who went into the houfe very much. intoxi- 
cated with a female companion, and placed 
the candle too near the curtains of the bed. 
The building was ina very fhort time confum- 
ed, but a timely alarm having been given, all 
the numerous inmates efcaped, except the 
gentleman who was the caufe of the conflagra- 
tion. Labouring under the infenfibility of in- 
ebriety, he remained deaf to the reprefenta- 
tions of hiscempanion, and was totelly inca-
