The Noble Earl would not trouble their Lordships at any length, but would merely say, that he was satisfied that Medical Profesitiars were anxious that it should be perfectly understood that they did not push their experiments to the extent which had been stated, that operations on living animals were the most painful part of their prole-sion, and that they had never been carried beycnd what they cisioceived to be the necessity of the case. He wished he could say as much for the professors of another description at pits and other places, where animal tortures were made matter of diversion.

Buxton) was " the Champion of the Joint Stock Companies in that House," antiqf so, on what grounds be had made that statement, or else to retract the expression? Mr. ROBERTSON was proceeding in a low tone of voie to make some remarks, when The SPEAKER rose and said, that it was wholly incondittit with the forms and the convenience: of the House to permit Him. Gentlemen to ask and answer questions put under such circaln stances. He united that the House would support him in his opi nion that the questioti'otigin not to be answered--(Hear, hear). Mr. F. BUXTON obeerVed, that he was ,ever ready to bow to the decision of the. House, particularly as he had in private ex plained the affair to the H onourable Gentleman of whona.he had asked the question. Mr. CA LCRAFT requested the Hon. Member for Staffordshire (' Mr. Littkton) to postpone his motion, relating to the Elective ranchise in Ireland, to some later day han that he bad hied fbr the discussion.

Mr. HOBHOUSE presented a Petition from certain individuals against the Chelsea Church Bill.—Laid on the table. QUARANTINE LAWS BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, Mr. C. GRANT entered into an explanation of the nature and character of the measure. Mr. J. SMITH said, that he had paid great atten tion to this subject. He would refer the House for information about the plague to the works of Dr. Maclean, who was better acquainted with it tan any man living. It was a common belief that plague had often been introduced by woollen and Cotton goods, but he would venture to say that no instance was ever proved where the plague had been so introduced. At Marseilles, which was particularly exposed to such contagion, it appeared from examination that it was not the case. At Amsterdam, the Lazaretto Laws had been relaxed to a mere nullity, in consequence of the more correct notions respecting the plague. It was well known that the plague was not so disseminated at Aleppo. This was clear enough from the fact that the plague rarely lasted beyond October. With respect to the plague of 1665. many eminent physicians doubted whether that was the real plague. The Hon. Member then referred to the examination which t' ok place be fore the House in 1814, and cited the opinions of several physicians, who held that the plague was not contagious. Other physicians held it to he con tagious ; but they differed on every other point as to the symptoms and progress. He inferred from this, that the subject as yet was not properly understood. He hoped that the inquiry might be renewed. The quarantine laws were a great impediment to science, commerce, and even to travelling for amusement. He approved of the present alteration in those laws made by the Board of Trade, and hoped they would go further. From his own observation, he could say, that since ltil9, a vast number of medical men had changed their opinions on the question of the plague being contagious. This was chiefly due to the writings and zeal of Dr. Maclean. The Honourable Member then quoted the opinion of Di. Armstrong, that in many cases of fever, the typhus for instance, the symptoms were the same as those of the plague..__ And yet people were not so alarmed about typhus as they were ablaut the plague. The Hoaourable Member :hen mentioned an instance highly redounding to the credit of the Government. A ship arrived at Liverpool not long ago, with a foul hill of health. This foul bill arose from the circumstance of a female dying of what .-as called the plague, at Alexandria. On her arrival at Liverpool, Government relaxed the Quarantide Laws, and no injury bad y e t, or ever would result from it. This 'hewed the great liberality of the Government. The Honourably Member concluded by saying, that the contagion of the plague was never contained in goods or lading. No instance had ever occurred of it. He would eat have troubled the Noose, if any other Gentleman had been disposed to draw the general attention to it—(Hear). Mr. WALLACE agreed in the very high importance of the subject, and hoped that before long some minute • ~i i f A IMPERIAL DISTILLERY COMPANY. VOTICE is hereby given to thoie SUBSCRIBERS to this Company who have not paid in their Deposits, that unless the same be se paid on or before THURSDAY next, to Messrs.
