LORD LIEUTENANTS FOR COUNTIES-- IRELAND. Lord Melbourne has presented to the House of Lords a bill " To provide for the better order and government of Ireland, by Lieutenants for the several counties, counties of cities, and counties of towns therein." FREADIBLZ. " Whereas His Graiio;iilatesty has been pleased by letters patent under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and His Royal predecessors have in like manner used from time to time, to appoint, make, ordain, constitute, and depute one Lieutenant. General and Governor General of t ha t part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland called Ireland, commonly called " The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland;" and whereas by an act passed in the Parliament of Ire land in the second year of the reign of his Majesty Wag the Viso, entitled as Am tombs th e hfillisoulir this name ussfid, provision wet made the • conamisdans of lieutenancy for the several sat ceoatiss, chile, and places of Ireland, such omeinieas to be isaed by the King's most Excellent or those who Amid be from time to time ap- Chief Governor or Governors of that Kingdom : and whereas the said act, after baring been several times con tinued, finally expired: and whereas by another act of the Parliament of Ireland passed in the 17th and 18th years of the reign of his Majesty King George 111. entitled an Act for establishing a Militia in this Kingdom, similar provi sions for the issuing commissions of lieutenancy were made; but the said art has long since expired, and Governors and Deputy-Governors have been from time to time appointed fox the several counties, counties of cities, and counties of towns in Ireland, and certain powers and authorides have been from time to time, by several acts now in force, con ferred upon such Governors and Deputy-Governors : and whereas it would teud to the better fader and government of that part of His Majesty's dominions, if lieutenants were appointed for the several counties, counties of cities, and counties of towns, to act under the said Lieutenant-General and Govemor-General, or other Chief Governor or Gover nors of Ireland, in like manner as may have been provided for by the said recited acts of the Parliament of Ireland, and as lieutenants are appointed for the several counties ridings, and places in England; and it is moreover expedient that the powers and authorities of the Governors and Deputy.

The following are the regulations adopted by the Prussian Government for preventing the spreading of the cholera : RERUN, Jess 16. Upoo the kit news of the bunking oat et the cholera, morbus in Poland, a sanitary cordon has Dein established on the Prussian frontier, from the Baltic, near Memel, to the southern point of Silesia, near Cracow. Since then, the entrance, both of travellers and merchandise, from Has. sia, Poland, and Cracow, bas been allowed only at certain quarantine stations, and on production of unquestionable bWs of health. _ _ _ _ _ Ail persons not provided with clean bilis of health, as well as goods liable to imbibe infection—viz bed-feathers, quills, horse or cow.hair, flax, hemp, raw bides, skins, lesther, furs, sail cloth, rope, tow, wool, apparel, &c. have been subjected to 10 or 12 days of the strictest quarantine and purification. On the cholera manifesting itself in Austrian Galicia, the Prussian frontier cordon was immediately extended op. posite to that Austrian province, from Cracow to the fron tiers of Bohemia, which latter frontier itself is placed under observation, In such manner that travellers or merchandise, which cannot be proved to come from a place perfectly free from suspicion, are tither refused admittance, or made to perform quarantine. Thus the whole of the eastern provinces of Prussia have been surrounded with a frontier cordon, which is continued on the part of Saxony, whereby the evading of the Prus sian line is rendered impossible. On receipt of accounts of the cholera having shown itself at Riga and Danizic, the precautionary measures have been increased, so as no longer to look upon bills of health fur travellers or merchandise, proceeding from Rossi', Po. land, or Gallic's, as free from suspicion; consequently, in dividuals and goods coming from those parts, are only ad mitted after a quarantine and purification of twenty dams, mtwithstanding any bills of health they may be provided with. Upon the same principle, no vessel coming from Russia is admitted into a Prussian port, until after a quaran tine of twenty days, and the established purification. In ad dition to which, vessels coming from Russia can only be ad mitted into such Prussian ports as are provided with quanta- tine establishments—via. Memel, Palley, 'Minsk, Swine• monde, and Oreiswald. All vessels proceeding from Dantsie to another Prussian port are dealt with as if coming from Russia. Vessels sailing from parts in the Baltic, not Russian, are only admitted into Prussian ports, if provided with dean bills of health ; and will even then be placed under observe. tion for eight days, should they come from a place in which the precautionary measures are less strict that those adopted in Prussian ports. Hitherto Dantaic is the only place in the Prussian do. minions in which any trace of the cholera morbus has manifested itself ; this town is guarded on the land side in the same strict manner as the Russian sod the Polish frontiers. ._.A INFORMATION ItESPECTING CHOLERA MORBUS. RETURNS PRESENTED TO PARLIAMENT. Dr. Walker baying been instructed by the Clerk of the Privy Council, in a letter dated January 14, to obtain the most correct information as to the characteristic symptoms, history, prevention, or cure of the cholera, sent his first report from Mos cow, dated March 18, and his second from Peters burgh, dated the 29th of April. The following are copies: REPORT FROM DR. WALKER ON TIIE CHOLERA, TO C. C. OREVILLE, ESQ. St. Petersburg!), April 17 (29). SIR—I had the honour of reporting to you from Moscow, for the information of the Lords of his Majesty's Moat Honourable Privy Council, upon two of the points respecting the disease prevailing in this empire, and stated my conviction that it was not the plague, but the same disease with the cholera morbus that had ravaged the territories of the East India Company. I also stated, that deemed it absolutely necessary, for the purpose of procuring further information on the other points laid down in my instructions, that I should pro✓ bt MONDAY EVENING, JULY 4, 1831. ceed further than Moscow. IMO afterwards in duced to change the plan detailed, in so far as not to go to Nishni Novgorod, as I found, from in quiries which I was afterwards tble to make at Moscow, that I was not likely to get any informa tion there worth the delay which, from the season of the year, Trust incur by going there. As the disease appeared to be at an end at Mos cow, and as various oicial documents which I had required for assisting tne in the duty intrusted to me, could not be ready under two or three weeks, I determined therefore to set out immediately for Jaroslaw, and the rest of the places which I had mentioned in my letter that I intended to visit. - I was excessively delayed ir ly sz badness of the goads, having bees, for , nearly six hours in going the first stage of not quits 15 miles from Moscow. On my arrival at Jaroslaw, I found that the disease had already ceased in the town of Vo logda; and that, with the badness of the roads, and one certain quarantine, and perhaps two, I should be detained much beyond the time I was, by my arrangement with Lord Heytesbury, war ranted to employ, and I therefore gave up my in tention of going to Vologda, and proceeded along the Volga and road by which the disease ap proached St. Petersburgh last year. The roads were in such a shocking state, that I could travel only very slowly ; and being detained also four days by the breaking up of the ice on the rivers, I was 13 days in coming from Jaroslaw, a distance which, either in winter or in summer (even with the halts necessary for my inquiries), would not have required above half that time. I was exactly seven weeks absent from St. Petersburgh. I hasten to communicate the results of my own observations, and of the information which I have been able to collect from others respecting that most important point, the contagious or non-con tagious nature of the disease. In Moscow by far the greater part of the medi cal men are of opinion that the disease is not con tagious, but produced by some peculiar state of the atmosphere, not cognizable by either our senses or by instruments ; that this was proved by almost every person in the city feeling during the time some inconvenience or other, which wanted only the exciting cause of catching cold, or of some irregularity in diet; to bring on cholera ; that very few of - those immediate!) , wbout the patients were taken ill. That persons had put on the clothes of patients who were very ill or had died of cholera, had lain in their beds, or even alongside of corpses, had bathed in the same water where very bad cholera patients had been bathed just before, and that none of these persons were taken ill. That a strict investigation had been made into what were reckoned the first four cases occurring in Moscow, and that it was proved that they had neither them selves been in any infected -place, nor had com munication with any one coming from such a place. 1 confess, however, I am not quite satisfied with this, because—first, in a place of such an extent as Moscow, every one can conceive it perfectly possible that there may have been cases before these without its being known, and I have the cer tainty myself of its being possible, for it occurred to me while I was there, to know f four cases that had never been reported to the police, nor seen by a medical man. 2d. One of the four cases had only a few days arrived from Simbirsk, so that he might have brought the seeds of the disease with him, because the disease was in the district of Simbirsk at the end of August, and he died in Mos'ow, I think, on the 16th of September. 3d. This investigation was not made by medical men, but through the police, which I do not reckon the proper method, as the people are so afraid of them, that it is next to impossible to get at the truth. I am also not quite satisfied that there were so few of the attendants in the hospitals taken ill, for I have a printed statement (or rather a copy of it) of one hospital, and oral information of two others, in which the attendants were taken ill in a far greater proportion than opt of hospital. I had, of course, immediately on my arrival in Moscow, re quested such a statement of each hospital, and as all the cholera hospitals, except two, had already been shut up some time, I expected it would have been furnished immediately, as I found that all the medical gentlemen expressed, and indeed showed, the utmost readiness to communicate every infor mation, and a statement was already printed of the patients in each hospital, but in which that most im portant point of the number of attendants taken ill was not attended to. Not having received it, after repeated applications, I bed it mentioned three days before I left Moscow, to the Governor Prince Dirnitri Gallitzin, who, in my presence, desired the Secretary of the Medical Council to write to the different gentlemen, that he ordered it to be furnished without delay. It is now four weeks since I left Moscow, and I have not yet received it, so that I am not able to adduce the experience in the hospitals as in favour of either opinion, and begin to fear that accurate accounts may not have been kept of those cases. Still all these gentle men (the anti-contagiuniets) acknowledge, that where a number of cholera patients are collected together, it is perfectly possible that the disease, like some others, may become contagious. I did not learn that the contagiouists in Moscow had any strong particular instances to prove the communi eation of the disease from one individual to another. Indeed, one gentleman confessed to me that he him self having been so strongly convinced of the conta gious nature of the disease, be supposed that it was not doubted by any one, and therefore never thought of searching out and establishing the facts which could . prove that the opinion was founded , on undoubted facts. One gentleman, who was the Inspector of the hospital of which I have a copy of the printed statement as above-mentioned, was at 'ink a notv , contagionist, but found himself forced to adopt the opposite opinion, because so many of, the attendants at the hospital under his superin tendence were attacked with the disease. In the rest of my journey, however, at Jaroslaw, M insk , Mologa,Ust u sk n a, Somina, Titzvin,through all which places the disease made its approaches towards St. Petersburgh, and where, from the small extent of the field of observation, every case came under more immediate inspection, I found every where the medical men and others convinced that the disease was brought to them somehow or other, by the boats which came up the Volga from Nishni Novgorod, and other places where the disease had been ; they said that the first attacked with the disease were always boatmen, and it was only after wards that the disease appeared among the towns people. Only at Jaroslaw it was doubtful whether the first was not a merchant, who bad been to the fair at Nishni. But after the disease got into a town, that it could not be traced from one to ano ther, and that very often, perhaps most frequently, only one in a family, while in others every one was attacked with it. Combining this with its slow and gradual pro gress from Astracan (whither one party consider proved that it was brought by a vessel from Sa liany, which the other party deny) along the great lines of water communication, I think it more than probable that it is carried along by men somehow or other, although it has not been ascertained in what way. It has been alleged that it follows the tracts of rivers, not because it is carried by people going along them, but because the miasma, or whatever it is that predisposes to, and excites, the disease, has a great affinity to humidity. But if this were the case, it should go along all rivers and streams, whereas I believe it follows only those where there is navigation ; and it also would not proceed along the great roads, as we are assured it does more than along others which are less fre ' quented. The question is a very difficult one, and the disease has manifested the same caprices in its progress in Russia that it showed in India, missing occasionally places that lie directly in its route, and not attacking them till some time after ; at tacking sometimes the high situated houses in towns, but more frequently the lower ones. With respect to the possibility of the disease being communicated by clothes or goods, no cases have as yet come to my knowledge sufficient to prove it. I have heard of several instances brought forward iu support of the opinion, but they are not fair ones ; as in all of them the persons had either come from places where the disease was, or was already prevalent in the place where they were living. And by far the most general opinion, even among the contagionists, is, that it is only through the medium of the body that it is propagated. So that the result of what information I have been - able as yet to coßect on the subject is, that t believe it is capable of being conveyed from one place to another by men, although it cannot be considered completely proven ; while, although there is not evidence sufficient to prove its commu nication by clothes or goods, still we cannot say that it is impossible. I have mentioned to several an experiment sug gested by Sir Wylliam Pym—viz. that condemned felons should be induced by a promise of pardon to put on the clothes and use the bedding of persons who had died of cholera, while every thing should be arranged so as rather to favour the action of 'contagion. But I have not found any person wil ling to propose it here, where, besides, there is the great objection that there is no capital punish ment. Although it does not admit of legal proof, yet there is no doubt that, from the great difficulty, or indeed impossibility, of keeping quarantine strictly in such a great extent of country as that where the disease prevailed last summer and autumn, num bers of persons and quantities of goods from in fected places evaded the quarantines, and came even to this city, but fortunately without bringing the disease. I may state, that also the Prussian and Austrian medical gentlemen, who have been sent here by their respective Governments, have adopted the same opinion with myself; the Austrians could speak more decidedly, as they had seen a good deal of the disease in the southern provinces, be fore they came to Moscow. Although such is my opinion, yet I should not conceive it necessary to have any quarantine for vessels erring in England from Russia, unless the disease prevailed at the place of loading or in the neighbourhood, and even then perhaps only in the event of any person on board having had the dis ease during the passage. For although there are mot as yet any observations regarding the length of time that the disease may lie dormant in the system, the general opinion is, that it does not probably exceed fourteen days, and therefore there would be little or no risk in admitting a vessel that had been at least fourteen days on her passage, without having any sick on board. Persons, how ever, might get in a considerable shorter time from here to England, by the steam-boat to Lubeck if there should not be any quarantine there. All sort of goods, except tallow and linen, are, I am told, opened out in the most complete manner here, and handled for the purpose of being br so that if they could communicate the disease, they would in all probability do it here before they could be sent abroad. With respect to the present state of the disease, it still prevails in the southern and western frontiers, A few cases, eight or nine, occurred at Moscow after I left that city, and I should not be at all surprised if a case occur still now and then for some time. Whether it will again increase with the warm weather, is a complete conjecture, — as there are no data to form an opinion about it ; but there is still a sort of apprehension, of which people cannot entirely divest themselves. I found that Eve casea(cnd all fatal)had occurred in of Ustuskna. 4(30 versts from hence, in ' of the ten days, just before my passing i. e. from the 19th to the 29th of Marc) have not been able to learn whether any t occurred since. That, I believe, is the point at which it has been since the autumn. the Government of Vologda, where the d: prevailed to a considerable degree not long more direct communication I believe with angel than with this place, it is not improbal think, that if the disease still spreads, there before it comes here. With respect to the progress, nature, &c. of the disease, I am busy collecting , for a complete statement, which I shall lose in forwarding to you when ready, for the tion of their lordships.—l have, &c. (Signed) THOMAS W. P. S.—l find the expressions I have . of here, have appeared to others not to cony , the meaning I myself attach to them. to say, that 1 myself am convinced of the nature of the disease,but that the proofs of mission from one individual to another are perfect as yet. And believing so, I course, be without some apprehension that also be conveyed by clothes and other which have been in more immediate cont the sick; although the proofs of this are, still more defective. It is a disease sui and must have its own laws as well as the typhus fever, and other contagious or disorders, but these laws we do not yet know. Its attacks seem to be favoured by ing passions, especially fear of the disease, fatigue, low bad living, bad air in crowded dwellings, drunkenness. I have been " that in Austrian Gallicia, where it had appearance, a better diet furnished to the ders, at the expense of the Government, have contributed u much as any other prevent the spreading of the disease. REPORT OF THE COLLEGE OF PHYSIk TUE SUBJECT OF THE CHOLERA Ml College of Physicians, June Sir,—ln compliance with the further the Lords of His Majesty's most Ileum Council, that we should state in detail of the opinion contained in our report. . 15, we beg to submit to their Lordslli' lowing statement, observing at the that the information in the documents us is deficient on some important poin► ticularly with respect to the desc►iption disease. Our knowledge of the symptoms of called Cholera Morbus, in Russia, is tirely from a report drawn up by Sir W. at St. Petersburg, for the medical conuct. capital, from reports of medical practitioners ferent parts of Russia, where the t isease ' peared. We have, however, no direct from any Russian or other physician wt, tually seen the disease. The remarkable tending its progress; and manner of ero the vast tract of country in which it has successi , appeared are as follows :—lt showed h tracan, near the mouth of the Wolga, of July, 1830, immediately afar the I vessel there from the port of Bat on, on coast of the Caspian Sea ; on l oard which during the passage, eight men Itid _died disease. From Astracan, it silted it eastern direction to Gouriff, and far up I of the river Owrab ; and at the same time northward, in a course following strictly line of river communication of the Wolga, successively all the principal towns on each the river, as far to the north as Yaraslov dates corresponding with the ordinary navigation up this stream. The earliest each place usually occurred among the employed in the navigation. It is an important fact, that while ing the course of the Wolga in a I.ort, it was contemporaneously conveyed down of the Don in a south-west direction to Azof, and to the coasts of the Black Sea tails are given, warranting the belief, ' carried by personal intercourse across land which separates these two great lines communication. The disease appeared at Moscow in second week of October, alleged to . brought thither from Saratoff, an infected ._ the Wolga. At Moscow it prevailed during the coldest months, havite , first appeared in the south part of the Russian dominions during tie huuest season of the year. Quarantine was established on the road from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Upon this road the disease has never extended itself ; but on another line of approach to St. Petersburg from Saratoff, where no quarantine was established, the disease advanced as far as Tikhvin, within 160 miles of Petersburg, where it appears also to have been arrested by quarantine. It is important to mention here, that the Mora vian colony of Sarepta, on the right bank of the Wolga, several German colonies in the government of Saratoo, around which the disease raged with great severity, and the school of Military Cadets at Moscow, were exempted altogether from the disease ; strict precautions having been used in each of these several instances to prohibit all inter course with the surrounding population. The mode of ingress of the disease into Podolia and Volhynia is not equally certain; but it appests to have followed the great lines of communication bet Ween the southern parts of Russia and those provinces, and to have accompanied the march of the armies in this direction. The disease appeared very early in May on the road between Poses and Warsaw, and in the army of the Grand Duke Michael; subsequently at Praga and Warsaw, and in the Palish armies. A report, drawn up by a board of health elf Warsaw, and transmitted to the Frencb Governmest, and thence to the English Goverum'ent, gives a state ment of the numbers infected during seven days in the hospitals of Warsaw and its neighbour hood. The latest accounts we have before us are those regarding the extension of the disease to the sea ports of Riga and Dontsic, on the Baltic, and the great mortality which has occurred in the former of these places. From the progress of this disease, uninfluenced by latitude or by seasons, through various districts in the Russian empire, following gradually the courses of great rivers and roads, in other words, the general line of traffic and communication, and from. the fact Ovnt..difernsit. tOw p s situate in Its route were t xempted from its =Ration by esia- Alle - rS .
