The summer of 1848 was remarkable for the intensity of its heat, and for the general and various convulsions and disturbances in the atmosphere. The Chinese themselves have recollected it as a season so fatal in its effects.
The mortality on the east coast is represented to have been very great, and the character of disease, remittent and intermittent fever. It is gratifying to reflect that although disease has prevailed, and the causes were so much more extensive, the comparative amount of sickness in the Police, in the several months of the years 1847 and 1848, was not so great.
