Of course 1; will nQt be lett out of consideration that the characteristic disturbance ol tieuitn of ttw vari ous members of the paitv at Scamot outfit, their sub sequent dispersion and tne onset of enterio fever in two of Its members, at diuereni pans ol England, within four days ol each oilier, may belong to the chapter of surprising accidents.

It is usually, however, possible to trace out and to lcmove the causes of typhoid, and hence the im portance of a complete investigation such as will i now be set on foot. The London Lancet of the same day wrote on the same subject, taking la the case 01 tae Prince's groom, who was sick also, in the following words:? We rejoice to be able to announce that Ills Royal Highness the Pnucc oi Wales Is making saiisld ilie l*rlcco Contract the llUi'nni f TO THB ElHTOB OF THB LONDON STANDARD!? Bib?Some remarks appeared in the London Time" 01 the -:9th lust., in ilie form of an appendix to the bulletins of thai day, alleging that the seeds of the disease irom which lilt Royal Highness the I rince of Wales la Buffering were contracted at Scarborougn during his recent visit to Lord Londcs Dorungn. Tnese statements rail for some notice from those who are interesvod lu the inquiry, as the tnodlcal attendant of Lord Lomiesborough, and from my personal acquaintance with Loudes borough Lodge and its sanitary appliances, I am a> lo to supply yon with valuable and i trust re liable information bearing upon the question wnich lias i>c? n raised. 1 know how earnest and deep is tne Interest reit by all classes in ibo Illness wblca has so suddenly stricken down "the hope of the na tion," and how willingly vour readers will listen to any statements which may throw HgAt upon the ob scure origin of this terrible disease. Londesboroush Lodge is about one hundred and thirty feet above tne level of the sea, and the grounds slope towards the beach at an angle of about forty h ve degrees. I n I is immediate neigh bornood are a few villas?lielvolr Terrace and The Crescent. During my long residence at Scarborough i have not at tended one case of typhoid fever within tills area, nor have I ever heard or one having occurred. T'ie drainage ts perfect, and has been, at Lord Londcour ough's request, tnis day thoroughly examined by competent authorities, and 1 beg to apper.d their certificates. 'J be water used by Bis Royal Highness for drinking purposes was me celebrated "Bristol saler;'' Hie ordinary house supply from the "town's water," brought from springs of pure Whtcr four miles sbove the town, and abundant fm all domestic and sanitary purposes. This wate. cannot possibly be come contaminated fiom sewerage or other lmpuri tie?. There Is not now snd never was about the premises anv permanent stagnation or animal or vegetable refuse which might generate typhoid fever. The fact that ibis locality has been so singu larly free from zymotic fever, and also that Lord and Lady Londeeborough with their young family and household occupied this bouse for upwards of two months before the visit of the royal party, without having a case of serious Illness, ere confirmatory evidence of the absence of such sources of mischief as are suggested. U is quite true some membere of tho distinguished party auffered from diarrhoea, and this might possi bly be due to offensive effluvia escaping into tne bouse; but 1 contend this la innocent as compared with the poison of typhoid fever. It produces syrup p ms of Its own, totally dissimilar to those originat ing from the other source, and the transient 111 nessee which superveue nave no tendency to drift into the more serlou 4 malady.

Tno London News of December 2 reported the death of Lord Chesterfield lu the following words:? Wo regret to liavo to anuouuee that the Earl of Chesterfield, who nad been sudfering from typhoid fever lor tne last lew days, died at lour o'cloca yes terday morula,;, at his seal, Bretby Hail, Uunon-on 1 iTeur. The noble eurl was one ot tne dist.ngulshed I visitors who assembled at Scarborough on tne occa sion of tne latj visit ol the Prince and Princess of l Wales to that town. Philip Ceoll Arthur Brit u nope, seventh Earl of Chesterfield, was born in J8 n, en tered the army in 18*9, was appointed lieiuen nut lu tue Blues lSnAontl rented io&3. Ue was M. I P. for South Notts iroin i860 to lSfld. Hls lordship's i Illness bad iroin tne first assumed a very severe form, nad to consequence o( the character ol tue symptoms so eany as the end ol the first week Dr. Murchison was summoned from London on Sunday last iu consultation wiin Dr. Evans, of Birmingham, and Mr. Lowe, ot Burton, returning next morning. The symptoms subsequently took a more tuvorabiq course, ana the palteut appeared to be progressing satisfactorily until Thursday evening, when syn cope set in, which, alter some hours, terminated fatally. Dentlx of hnrle* Dlegg, the Prince's tJroom. The London N tos of the same day reported this second fatality from the fever thus:? iDtormiuion 01 the .loath of Charles Blegg, the groom, wno wo yesterday stated was lying ill from I tvphoid lever at Sandrlugliain, was received by his I friends hi London yesterday. A telegram reached the parents ot Blegg on Thursday auuouncing his critical condition; but, as we understand, ttiey only arrived at Sandringbam iu time to see him breathe bis last. Blegg lma been In a delicate staie of health for some, and on hts return from the recent visit made bv the Prince aud l rlncess oi Wales to Scot land, wnituer he accompanied them, he became very unwell, lie is said to have been a great lavorite with both the Prince and rrincess, and Invariably accompanied the laitcr in her pouy rides and as out rider. It will be some satis .action to his mends to know that lie receive! during his last Illness the same medical treatmeut as his royal master. Tbe Whitlow on the Prlnca's Hand. Speaking ot this painful premomtiou of sickness In the Prince it is said November 6 a wlurlow appeared on the forefinger of Ms right naud. Tina was seen and attended 10 i by L?r. Johu Low, of King's Lynn, tno medical at tenaaut 01 tlie household at Sandrlugnain; it uld not p. event 11 is Koyal Uigbuess lrom carrying out his intention ot going on a visit to Lord Harring ton, at r. Lowe. Tlie Cluui 'm of lnfertlon lo Ilia Family. A London journal of the 1st Inst, referred to this men alarming view of the case lnagge following words:? Some apprehension arises with regard to the pos Bli ilty o! the fever being convoyed to those at present about the Prince. Naturally, the thoughts ol our readers advert to Her Majesty touching this point Anxiooa as tne (Joeon most have been to visit the Piince, the >;uecen made on tills subject during the last ten or twelve years In the annual reports of Mr. Mlrnon, the medical offi cer of t no Local Government Foard, and he will not tall to find an accumulated mass of evi dence on this subject which is simply over whelming In proof oi ine proposition above enun ciated. Pur tlie moment our thoughts turn to Mand ruigham, aud WO hope that, good as the drainage arrangements may be supposed to be, and well as tncy have hitherto worked, not a stone will be left nntnrned to discover and unearth ail pomlble sources ot fouling of the water supply. Meanwhile Lord Londesborongii will, no doubt, clear up any doubt that remains In regard to the oxistenceof typhoid lever producing causes at his seat. Tbe more recent lacts which have couie to our knowledge lead us to inter that Fandniigliam, and not bear borough, originated Hie Prince's m ilady. Of course we do uot lorget that the introduction of the fever poison to San dringham may have led to the spread of the disease there. Whatever may bo the truth of the matter a searching inquiry is clearly and immediately needod. The public do not lorget tnat other members of the royal family may beat this mon.cut exposed to the chances ol Infection. The London Lancet of December 1 said:? As the public may be anxious to know what risk Her Majesty runs in visiting the Prince of Wales, we may udd It is simply nu under the circumstances. Typhoid lever is coiitagtous In a very subor dinate degree, and It is infinitely rare alter lltty years ol a^c. Her Majesty's short stay at Snndrlug Latn therefore exposes her practically to uo risk whatever. III* Wife's Birthday. A Lynn (England) correspondent, writing on the 1st ot December, in tbe evening, says:? This, it will be remembered, Is the birthday of the Princess oi Wales, and in honor of the occasion the flags nave been noisted as usual upon tlie church steeple and on the public bulidUgs, as well as on some ol the private nouses ol Lynn, and tne charcn bells are ringing at internals. The bonfires, how ever, remain uullgbted, and tne expressions of Joy and congratulation which are common on these oc casions are hushed by the general feeling of anxiety which pervades all classes. Although the tjueon has gone to Windsor to-day, I have reason to believo that she may return to fiandnngnam In a short time. Tbe Prlnre'e rfclalibor* Almmed. The same writer, dating in Lynn, again on tne 1st Inst., reported the state or feeling which existed among the more immediate neighbors of the Prince outside the gates of Sandringham thus:? Tne alarm which was created by the early bul letin to-day has been a good deal relieved by the inlormstlon received in the course or the day, and by the later bulletin published this afternoon. There Is no dount that the Prince passed a very bad night, and that for a certain time the gravest apprehensions were entertained ny his attendants. Tne cause of this alarm was, as well as 1 can as certain soind oppression or congestion or the stomach; and from this the Prince ultimately ob tained relief by vomiting. From tUat time he be came easier, and at noon to-day was so much Un proved that hie medical attendants were able to give tlie uueen such reassuring accounts of his con dition as to permit her returning to Wuideor. Tbe Qaein'i Visit and Return?Carinas Inci dent at the Heynl Train. The Lynn letter adds:? Her Majesty drove to the Wolferton station, accompanied by the Duice ot Edinbnrg and Hir William Kno'.lys. She was attended by ^^^^^?^?^??ixburgne and Colonel Pon-1 lr anything, weaker and more arrival. Her Majesty waa re the deputy chairman; the Duciiess of Koxburgne and Colonel Pon-I sonny, and appeared, lr anything, weaker and more anxious than on her aritvaL ceived by Mr. L.

A disastrous lire broke out in the Franklin Mill, in Mill street, r&terson, N. J., about twelve o'clock on Tuesday night. The flames started from some unknown cause in tlie lower portion of the building, occupied by Messrs. llurrel A Hayes, manufacturers of steam lire engines. Owing to tne absence of an alarm boll and every thing else about system in ttio f'atcrson Fire Department, there was a lapse of over half an hour before the engines got to work, and the fire, which at the start might liavo been easily extinguished, had enveloped the whole building. The entire Franklin Mill was destroyed, together with the Hope (cotton) Mill, adjoining. The Franklin Mill, owned by the Franklin Manufacturing Company, was a series of bntldlngs, oullt of brick, and ex. tending, in wings and additions, over an area 200 by loo icet. Tne contiguous buildings being ot brick and the raceway running both in front and rear of the burn lug nulldiugs prevented a spread ot the flames any lartber.

About hall-past two o'clock they completed a super ficial examination, and are satisfied that the bank is in a mucii better condition than the publlo, who observed that the stock had Jailen in the market to twenty cents on the dollar, believed.
