FEVERS of a low and typhoid kind

have proved pretty frequent during the few past weeks, and in some instances they have assumed an aspect of much malignity, their types and tendencies varying, however, with circumstances, to a very considerable extent; thus serving to render their management, if it may be so said, compound and complicated; and to prove the futility of all attempts that are made by theorizing pathologists to simplify the source and define the seat of febrile derangement.

The question, indeed, What is fever? may be replied to by the interrogatory -What is it not? The brain, the stomach, the liver, the every-thing, being sometimes engaged with the disordered manifestation; while, at other times, the essence of the derangement shall run through, as it were, the whole of the organization, without any traceable locality, either in the way of cause, or course, or incident, or consequence.

In instances where the oppression is extreme, and where, notwithstanding, stimulants are inadmissible, the Reporter has found his account in administering the mineral acids: two or three minims of the muriatic acid, with the same quantity of the nitric, and a drachm or more of syrup of white poppy, will occasionally prove a powerful febrifuge, checking the tendency to what used to be called putrefaction, and supporting without perturbing the oppressed and almost smothered energies of the frame;-oppressed energies, the writer says, since it is of importance to recollect, while instituting

.

Opium is much oftener required than it is admissible in fever; poppy even is too apt to produce congestion in the brain, and dispose to constipation of the bowels; but it is a fact of much practical importance, that opiates of all kinds are less likely to prove injurious when given in conjunction with acids than when administered without these guards against their deleterious agency. It is likewise proper to remark, that opiates and stimulants are then the most safe and salutary in fevers, when the skin is in an open and perspirable state.

our remedial processes, that fever is a state not properly of exhausted, but rather of suspended, power. The school of debility and stimulation which refused to recognize this principle has, it is to be feared, much to answer for, although it must be admitted that signal success not seldom attended those plans of treatment which practitioners now shrink from, under the feeling that their adoption implies a boldness of conduct unautho rized by principle, and unwarranted by experience.

A German physician, who some thirty years since came amongst ns as an ob server, expressed his astonishment at the frequently happy consequences of what he was pleased to consider and call the empirical practice of the British. “I saw (he says) bark administered in obviously gastric disorders, and yet the patients recovered." At present, were our continental friends to visit England, they would find a prevalence of gastrician to their hearts' content; but it is worthy of remark, that both then and now, under the sneers and revilings of our ingenious. Gallic and laborious German rivals, we have been found to meet the intricacies of disease with larger success than our criticising opponents, and, if the battle be won, the vanquished may be left to spe culate as they please upon how it ought to have been otherwise. Seriously, it is matter of self-congratulation, (to whatever cause it may be ascribed, and we are of course willing to set it down to the ready discernment and generalizing good sense of our compatriots,) it is matter of self-congratulation, that the medical prac tice of Britain, even in spite of the occasional obstacles of a false and miscluevous theory, has ever proved of good report when extensive estimates have gone into with a view to ascertam comparative results.* Bedford-row; Oct. 20, 1823.

wheat-crop, on good soils and situations, is undoubtedly large, both in England and Scotland, yet considerably below the weight and quality of the old wheat; in most other parts, light and course, and from the difficulties of the season, gene. rally harvested in indifferent order. Ou

the

the whole, as we have held throughout, although there will be no want of wheat, neither the quantity nor quality are probable to realize the splendid promises held out by the public prints. Barley is a great, but not a fine, crop. Oats and beans have far exceeded expectation, Pease are good on some of the warmest and best soils, in general a poor crop and badly harvested. Tares and seeds have not succeeded. Turnips have improved. Potatoes are great and sufficient crop, though partially injured in late and exposed situations. All kinds of live stock are in the utmost plenty, but good hay very short in quantity. Wheat sowing, in forward lands, has been successfully got through, but the tilths not generally clean. In the extremities of the island, this important process will be very late. Seasons of the present description are always peculiarly unfavourable to the farmers of poor land and exposed districts. We learn from the Farmers' Journal, and

it has been confirmed to us, by private communications, that Wales is covered with cultivation, superabundant in all live and dead produce; and yet, too much like Ireland, depressed by extreme poverty. The cause of such an nufortunate state of affairs is sufficiently obvious; but it is by no means so with respect to any immediate and effective remedy.

unsettled weather recorded in this Journal commenced again.

I have ascertained, that over a tract of several hundred miles on the Continent, including France, the drought was very considerable from the 27th of August to the 21st of September. On Sunday, the 14th of September, a violent hurricane commenced in France about half past one o'clock. The city of Paris was involved in a cloud of dust, carried up by the wind, for twenty minutes: this was followed by a violent thunder-storm. This hurricane, followed by its shower, seemed to point north-east, being a south-west current; and it prevailed to a great degree, the ensuing night, in England.

The late summer has been a singular on in many respects; amongst which may be recorded, the unusually high temperature of the month of May, as observed at Great Yarmouth by Mr. C. G. HARLEY; who, in a meteorological journal kept for twentynine years past, has found the average tor last May to exceed the previous general average by 131° of Fahrenheit; and, what is more singular, the sums and averages of the journal for the succeeding months of July and August were almost the same, viz. - The dry days nine, and wet days twenty-two; the depth of rain, 2 inches; the wind south-west fifteen days, and ne ver was east; the highest temperature 767; and the average heat 65° and 66°.

SPAIN.

HE triumphs of legitimacy in Spain ought to be lamented by all people in SACKCLOTH and ASHES! When despots and their vile satellites rejoice, freemen ought to mourn,whether they happen to be the immediate victims or not. Despots consider their cause as universal: ought not

that of men to be the same?

Behold Ferdinand the Legitimate now on his march from Seville to Madrid; D'Angouleme on his right hand, and A'Court on his left; with his confessor and prime minister riding on his shoulders, scattering Decrees of proscription and blood, and surrounded by mobs of monks and friars, shouting "Hallelujahs;" and you have a true picture of legitimacy in

action.

To enable us to judge of the worthiness of the Bourbons to be proprietors of nations, and the arbiters of the existence and liberties of mankind, we need only recur to the facts, that the first act of Ferdinand was to nominate his CONFESSOR his prime minister; and that, in answer to an address of congratulation to the head of this race at Paris, he lately made the following reply:

"Monsieur,-1 sensibly feel what you say. You pass eulogiums on me which I do not deserve. I repeat it, it is God who has done all; let us go and return Him thanks for His mercies; let us go and thank the mother of God, the Queen of Angels, who has never abandoned France, and has never ceased to bestow on her marks of her glorious protection."

This imbecile then went to Notre

Dame, to be present at a Te Deum and an eye-witness thus describes a proprietor of nations:

"His former embonpoint has fallen down upon his legs and lower extremities. which are proportionally large and unwieldy. His eyes are sunk, hollow, and troubled; his cheeks have fallen in, his lips have lost their roundness and tension,

and his whole countenance has an exhausted and cadaverous appearance. For the last eighteen months he has entirely lost the power of moving his lower extremities. The arm-chair in which he was rolled up the nave of the cathedral was the same which he had occupied in his coach. He had been let down from the latter without leaving the former, or at all changing his first position. A kind of slope, covered with carpetting, had been formed at the great gate of the church, so that he could be rolled up and down with out the necessity of being lifted over the within the frame that supported the ca steps. This chair, which was placed nopy, was so extremely low, that, in passing along the lines of the guards, he wa looked down upon by them, and by the spectators who stood behind them. Hi legs were extended at full length, his feet were covered with black cloth-shoes, and both seemed preternaturally swollen. unwieldy, and torpid. His hands on both sides had a firm hold of the arms of the chair, on which his elbows leaned; in head was a good deal sunk between lus shoulders, and his whole person without life or energy!"

We now give, as curiosities of legitimate morality, some passages from the discourse of the Archbishop of Paris, after the performance of the grand Te Deum :
