PIPPR IImr 4PIRKiP7 - ) . • ' . Er • - N s inquiry right be instituted into the question of cont - Om, anti how it was disseminated. Within a few years, great changes of opinion had taken place. Tile Report alluded to by the Honour able Member (Mr. Smith) was drawn up by a Committee shish agreedin nothing but the fact that the plague was contagious. , Sou he wished a new inquire to be instituted. His own opinions were considerably changed, but yet he must hesitate about making any very great relaxations in the Quarantine Laws. A single false step could never be retrieved. The country would suffer from it to the greatest extent. He could not consent to the total removal of the existing restraints. however, be concurred in the importance of examining the subject to the bottom. Mr. H. GURNEY reprobated the carelessness of those who wished to introduce the plague into Great Britain, by :too unrestricted importation of the cottons of Egypt. He was grongly against any great relaxation of the Quarantine Laws. Mr. HOBHOUSE differed entirely from the Hon. Alember (Mr. Gurney), and he believed that in the course of a short time the country would differ from him just as widely. With r spect to the Plague of London all the symptoms were epidemic, and not con tagious. The districts near London were never affected by the plague. The disea ein the Levant was pretty much in the same condition. He Wiped the time was not far distant when we should renounce the errors which had been entertained upon this subject, and no longer act upon the supposition that the plague was contagious. His Honourable Friend was mistaken, when he spoke of the great antiquity of this belief, for the plague was never supposed to be contagious until the time of the Council of Treat. All the phenomena attending the disease were to be found in epidemics. The Honourable Member then referred to the circum stances attending the plague of Malta, and argued that in th .t and other cases, the existence of contagion was disproved, and that it could no longer be supported. In the yellow fever and typhus fever, all idea of conta gi•in had been given up, and it ought to be in this; for he had little doubt that plague and typhus were the same dis ase. ,He thought the opinions of Physicians were not so much to be relied on, as those of unpre judiced persons. The Government, however, was right in consulting the fears of sundry old women and his Honourable Friend, to a certain extent. It was not advisable to proceed so far as to alarm Gentlemen and Ladies as to prevent their sleeping at night, for fear the plague should be imported in a bale of cotton from Alexandria to Liverpool. He would not detain the House further than to say, that he believed the greatest good had been done to mankind by the efforts of Dr. Maclean, for removing this prejudice from their minds. M TRA NT said, that during his residence in Egypt circumstances came to his knowledge, which left an impres sion on his mind that the plague was or might be contagious. Sir H. WILSON said, that when he went to Egypt his conviction was, in common with that of the other Officers, that the plague was contagious by contact. When the army arrived it was divided into two bodies, one of which remained before Alexandria, and the other marched through the country to Cairo. Those who remained stationary caught the plague, while those who were constantly upon the march, and not exposed to one particular atmospheric influence, escaped to a man. They marched through places where the plague existed, and he saw bodies of persons who died of the plague buried with their clothes on, and as they only just covered them over with earth, he saw them taken up again, and the clothes worn by other men without any bad effects. There were also villages in which the Tay ages of the plague had been so great that they were placed under a bar, and people were warned from en. twine.. Notwithstanding this, he constantly saw the Turks and our own soldiers entering the villages with out taking the plague. At Cairo, while it was °cep% pied by the French, the plague raged in the town with. out appearing in the citadel at all, although there leaa a constant communication kept up, He approved of the intention of Ministers, and he should propose that a regulation be adopted for preventing Officers at the outports hav ing any interest in enforcing the Quarantine Laws. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that the subject was one which he thought deserving of much attention, and that the contagions nature of the plague admitted great doubts. But be wanted to ask the gallant General what he deduced from the facts he had stated to the House? He said that one part of the army, being in a certain position, suffered from the disease, while the other part, being upon the march, escaped it ; and then he ascribed the dis ease to atmospheric influence, and not to contagion.—But bow would he account for the fact, that the soldiers entered the villages where the plague was so prevalent, without catching it, if there were no other cause than atmospheric influence? Sir it. WILSON said, it was a known fact that those who were stationary in a place were liable to the disease, while others who only passed through it, and were in the habit of meeting other currents of air escaped. Mr. HUME said that all the circumstances shich had come to his knowledge respecting the plague, in duced him to conclude that our Quarantine Laws had been founded upon false principles. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted to-morrow. A message from the Lords announced that their Lordships had assented to the Wine Duties and various other Bills. Sir R. WILSON moved for a return of the number of Free holders in each county in Ireland entitled to vote at ekctions, dis tinguishing those at 40s. 901.5 W. and upwards. POLICE. MAGISTRATE..? BILL. The House went into a Committee upon the above Bill. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, there was a clause to be added relative to police constables. The keeping of the peace at public places of resort was a very heavy duty on the p lice, and he therefore only thought it fair that the pr prietors of such places as Vauxhall, for instance, should preserve the peace in the immediate vicinity; and for this purpose he should move a clause empowering Magistrates to swear in persons as special constables for a limited period, who should be provided and paid by the proprietors of public places of amusement. Mr. BERNLL said, there was one clause, which empowered Police Maeistra , es to exercise a discretion in adding the punishment of hard labour in eases of imprisonment for inisdonesnour. He thought this was a responsibility which the Magistrates would have no desire to undertake. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that the power was li mited to offences committed en the River Thames, and it appeared to him to be an admirable regulation, that where criminal offences had been committed, the punishment of hard labour should follow. After a few words from Mr. Helm, the Bill went through the Committee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow. PIILONe PARDON RILL. Mr. Secretary PEEL moved the Order of the Day for going into a Committee upon the above Bill. The Right Hon. Gentleman then said that he had to ove an instruction to the Comniittce for introducing a ciati , e to prevent one of those evils arising out of quibbles in the law. At present, if a man come mitred three clergyable offences, two of which were highly cri minal, and the last only trivial in its nature, and was tried for the last, and pleaded his benefit of clergy, he became exempt from all punishment for the crimes previously committest He, therefore, wished to add a clause to correct this defect. The House then went into the Committee, and Mr . Secretary Pau. brought up the eause, which was agreed to. Report to lutwrove.—The House received the Report of the Committee upon the Fishery B Panties Acts. Upon the mod= of Mr. C. Weser the East India Judges Bill was read a second time, and o rd e r e d to be committed tomorrow, pro fawns, and then printed: The Bankrupt Laws Amendment Bill went through a Com mitt. e„ and the Report was received, and ordered to he taken into f irther conaidrittiou oo Idouday, the Mb of April. p - • ! -, 1 ler-- .., * Mr. H 4 UME pve notice, that on Thursday, the 14th of April, he should submit a Motion relative to the Colony of Sierra Leone. Mr. HUME moved for a Return of the Number of Persons convicted seeder the Act of the sth of Geo. IV. eh. 94. Mr. 111 J ME gave notice, that to morrow he should move for more detailed returns of two items in the Estimates, one of which was £9•0,000, for Compensation for Slaves to America. Mr. P. MOORE postponed his notice relative to the Bubble Act, to Monday the 18th of April. Mr. lIERRIES brought in a Bill for improving the Harbour eastward of Dunleary.—Read a first time. Lord PALMERSTON brought in a Bill for fixing the Rates of Subsistence to be allowed to Innkeepers and others fur Quartering of Soldiers.—Read a first time, and ordered for a second reading to-morrow. Mr. HERRIES brought in a Bill for extending the powers of the Commissioners for paving andimproving the Street from Pall. mall to the Regent's Park.—Read a first time. The other Orders were disposed of, and the House adjourned. THE EVENING STAR LONDON. THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1825. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Their contents are by no means interesting. The proposed measure of Mr. Husictasox, of opening the trade to our Colonies, gives great satisfaction in the Ne• therlands, whose linen and woollen manufactures are expected to benefit by it. The indemnity to the French emigrants is said to have raised up an association ofl the proprietors of national domains, to resist the efforts the emigrants may make to regain their former estates. It would appear that the present POPS is deterniined I to enforce the claims of the Holy See. It is said, that he refuses to recognize the King of NAPLU, or permit him to be crowned, until he goes in person and presents tribute to him. The Archduchess of PARMA is also cal led on for a golden chalice. The following are extracts : BRUSSELS, MARCH 29. We beg the attention dour readers to the motion of Mr. Huskisson in the House of Commons, on Monday, March 21. The object of this motion is to give the final blow to the famous Navigation Act, and to render the trade to the English Colonies open to the whole world. If this motion passes into a law, a most flat tering prospect would be opened for the commerce of the Netherlands. We will point out some branches of our manufactures which will take advantage of the new markets opened to them, because they can support the competition with those of England. First, our woollen cloths, especially tho . se of Virviers, which in quality and beauty surpass, or at least equal the English, and which, from their moderate price, must obtain the preference. The linens of Flanders will likewise be in demand, at least the finer sorts which ate so much admired in hot climates for the dress of both sexes, on account of their agreeable coolness. Our agriculture will likewise profit by the abolition, if our farmers can succeed in giving our flour that dryness which distinguishes that of the United States, and renders it fit for long voyages ; a process of which the Rhenish West India Company, at Elbe; Feld, has con trived to obtain the knowledge by means of agents sent on purpose to the United States, and which it actually puts in practice in the vicinity of Dantzic, to prepare flour for the South American market. Other artiCle, . • ° .~ of the produce or manufacture of Belgium may doubt less be sent with advantage to the new market. A private letter faint Parii speaks of an association of proprietors of national domains to oppose the ef forts that emigrants may make to obtain possession of their former estates. Such an association, of which the richest men in France, as purchasers of national do mains, will make a part, must produce a great effect. The Ghent Journal has an extract from a private let ter, dated Paris, March 22, to the following effect : " If we may believe letters from Italy, the Pope has declared that he does not recognise the new King of Naples, because he has not obtained from him the in vestiture of his kingdom ; and also that his Holiness has forbidden the Bishops to crown him, till he shall come in person, publicly,to present the tribute due from the Kings of Naples to the Holy See. These letters further state, that his Holiness has caused it to be sig nified to Maria Louisa, Duchess of Parma, that she has to pay the tribute of a golden chalice to St. Peter, which that Duchy used to offer as a sign of vassalage. Bat the news which excites the most sensation among the Romans is, that after the year 1825, they are not to have any more actresses in their theatres." ODESSA, MARCH 5. It is thought that after the Emperor has been to Warsaw, he will inspect the troops in Bessarabia, who have already received orders to take up more concen trated cantonments. We have no positive news from Constantinople : con tradictory reports of all kinds, respecting what passes in that city, continually succeed each other. Thus we have a rumour, that since the discovery of the late con ! . spiracy, the Sultan has sent part of his treasures to As a. According to accounts still less credible, he thinks of removing his resi fence to Asia. FASHION:IBL'. I ELUGENCE.

After Mr. Palmer had returned thanks, .and the business in the Shire-hall, Reading, had been concluded, he WAS chaired round the town, attended •by flags, banners, and music. As the proces-Ln went on, Mr. P. created considerable amusement by throw ing handsful of shillings and sixpences amongst the I crowd; in the scramble for which, freedom of election and the privileges of the Constitution were altogether forgotten. In a Fool in one corner of a kind of square, were to be seen some dozen or two of men and women, on their knees, faces, hands, &c. scrambling for some silver which had found its way into the water, or rather mud. Their appearance, alter the scramble, was truly laughable. .~ * THE AR.M Yi WA140“1014 FIBILVART, 1825.

Great exertions being made, and there being happily no wind, the flames did not communicate to any other building, but the theatre is totally destroyed.

ANECDOTE OF A Palsoe.---M.Onvrard,an Army Co ntractor is at present in prison at Paris, on heavy charges; but he has realized large sums, and lives like a Prince.
