SICKNESS AT BERMUDA.-The alarming epidemic which has for several months prevailed in Bermuda, is at length beginning to shew symptoms of mitigation. It has been unusually severe and fatal among the European residents in the islands, more especially so in family households, few of which have escaped without the loss of one or more of their members. A report had been spread that the disease was brought to the islands by one of the Mail Steamers, this however it appears was not the case, for similar visitations are said to have occurred periodically at intervals of from 7 to 10 years, and the peculiar state of the atmosphere is thought to be their more probable cause. It is remarkable that the winds have been contrary in direction to those usually prevailing at this season, that is from the north-east instead of the south-west. METEOROLOGICAL REGISTER.
