TO DR. MACLEAN. Ma. EDlTOR—Observing ii► The Sun of the 16th instant, -a letter of yours, as a non-conta geonist, allow me throngh the same medium, to express my opinions on that subject, which are. decidedly at variance with your sentiments. ID. a letter to the Morning Herald of the nth of last;' month, and to The Sun of the 21st, I exposed, or, at least endeavoured to expose, the erroneousness of the theory of non-contagion; nevertheless, 1' am again tempted to say a few words, on the • same subject, in answer to your letter.above mentioned. You state, " that diseases which are capable of " affeCting the same .person repeatedly, if 'they -44 'were also contagious would never cease until communities were extinguished ; communities, " continue to exist—these diseases cannot, there " fore, depend 'on a speeific contagion." The plague, I think, scarcely comes under this deno mination " a disease which repeatedly affects " the same persem," for gone attack is generally the first and lasi. But I should be glad to know; why, if the plague is contagious, the disease would never cease until - "communities were extinguish ed ? Now, permit me. to give a reason why it would cease. 1 sheaved, in a letter to The Sun of the 21st of last month, that the plague was propagated by means:of emission of ef fluvia from infected bodfes ---- that, passing into the • atmosphere, and by such conduc tor, conveyed into any .other. body capable Of receiving the effluvia ; thud it Seems the air becomes tainted, and can therefore corrimilnicate the disease ; but if the wind which is unimpreg nated With contagintis corpuscles, blovrsa Sufficient length - of time, and in the same 'dtrection,:it will' supplant theitifeeted air, and thedisease will . dis- , appear,'lprovidect, that at the same timeoleasures are taken for destroying the. infection that lurks in clothes-,- &c. Again,•you say, " that the only practical test. " of ',the .value Of.teitimonial evidence upon the 44 subject, with •whatever good- faith, and with " however hottest intentions it may be brought " forward, is the :result of absolute contact " of the sick with persons in health upon an ex " tended scale." Here, again, We are at issue ; for as the effluvia emitted from the sick (which is brought about by means of an insensible transpi ration) must necessarily pass through the atmos phere,. they will attach themselves to any body that they can enter, and at a considerable dis-' tance from the body whence they, proceed ; hence there is no occasion for immediate contact with . the sick, in order . to get the plague ; and hmice too, it is, that cotton and other goods become impregnated with infection. • 'You must be aware, Sir, that to us, it is of no consequence, how the air originally becomes pesti lential ; it is sufficient to know that we could not exist, unless we were constantly emitting exhalations from our bodies : when in a state of health, those exhalations are. of course healthy ; when not in such state, the exhalations, conse quently, are pestilential, when - the diiease is such. Now, I should be happy if you can inform me, how it happens that people are attacked by the plague, without coming in contact with the sick If you can shew this to be the case, the quarantine laws are'of, none effect ; bit if you cannot—they, of course, protect us from the dreadful scourge. Until you can satisfactorily answer this ques tion, by proving that nothing but actual contact with the sick can communicate the disease, every prechtition should be adopted, -and rigorMisly enforced, which human wisdom and foresight cat i suggest, for guarding our country against such a dreadful calamity.l remain, Sir, , Your obedient - servant, aiskate,•June 18, 1825. • p. v. H. FIRE ARMS AS A W --„ALKING STICK. ne anCJ field 31trcury states, that a patent has been granted to Mr, James Cook, of Birmingham, -for certain improveinents,in making locks for guns, pistols, &c. Thi object of this inven tion is.the construction of gun and pistol locks upon a more simple principle than those hitherto made. Instead of the ;usual,Main spring, formed as a lever, the patentee proposes that the hammer should he projected forward in a right line, by 'means of a helical or worm-spring, by :which contrivance all the operative parts of the gun-lock are contained in a•cylinder within the head of a walking-stick. The lock, with all the mechanism for discharging the gun, being placed- within the diameter of the barrel, its appearance is simply' that of an or dinary cane, with a buck-horn head, and a plug ferrule in the bottom or muzzle. The sight is taken along the side of the barrel. ~:-~ _ , The Marquis of HASTINGS referred, to- the paper which had been presented, from the . India llbUse, and'obserred that that paper being now before their Lordships, .there was no reason for the farther postponement of:the,bill .he had intro duced. He therefore gave notice that :he would Move the second reading to-mOrrow, and now moved• that the': judges be summoned for theday.---,Ordered accordingly. QUARANTINE LAWS. • The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved .the Order of the Day. on the'Quarantine Regulation The Earl of DARNLEY did not rise to offer - any opposition to this Bill, but merely to make a feiv observations . on the sub ject, whiCh was one that well inerlted 'their Lordships' 'atten-: tion. Some regulations respecting quarantine he believed to be necessary for the eonvepience Of eolinnerce, bu't he 'conceived 'that great caution was necesSarr, -- and that it was a very proper •rule that all deacriptions'of - goods liable.tii infection should be unloaded and - well aired for i certain period previous to their being-delivered. - A- - diScretionary power was now Vested in the Privy COuncil, in consequence of whichthe regulation respect.' ing airing might be altered or omitted. :He thoughtfit right to call their Lordships' attention to • this point of discretion, because a power of that kind- - had always a tendency to be very much abused. As he lived in a"_ part of the country which was not far from the place where the ships ar rived which came to the' port., of London • •fitn suspected quarters—such asEgypt,:the very focus of ':the,plmigue , —his at tention had naturally been called to this subject. An altera tion in the quarantine: regirliiiiOns had- been proposed' a few years ago. In the year 1810, Cor'runitte& Of - the' House of Commoos was engaged in:theinquiry whether or not the plague was contagious. The opinion that that terrible disorder was not contagious had been : first broached by a learned gentleman (Dr. M`Lean), to whose - opinion his Noble Friend.. near' him in appeared to have hecoea-coaVert. -All he. - should say on this point Was, that be understood that the weight of experience, both of-medical. 'men and Others, was. in-- ContradictiOn. to the. opinion of the plague being only epidemic. Last year another report was - preiented by 4 COMmittee of the Hope of on the subject of 'the (1114r:41164e , That report recom mended an alteration of-the lire Sent -systea)„, and in consequence of that recommendation, the preseot M ep+o re- had beeh intro -deiced, Some relaxation, a he had 10)tfeOrhs9tted, appeared 'to be necesiary to afford greater facility tii the , etaiomerce of the country ; but care should be taco to . preVent 'any evasion of the regulations which might lie considered necessary: He - stated this, as he understood that it 'was •no very difficult matter to obtain at any time- cleari 'tills of health .at the ports from which the ships geperally liable to quarantine came- In, agitating the question and exciting alarm, while the intention was Only to obtain a relaxation of the quarantine laws, Parlia -meat had shown itself penny-wise anti pound-foolish: it had ecelsioned great Ineonveoience.for a slight benefit.' His Lord-- ship then went on to state, that the best authorities gave their opilion, in favour.of the _contagious nature-of the plague;. and {said that it had been imported at different times in cotton goods or 'other merchandise ..into.Cephalonia, _Corfu, and Silesia.— He hoped and trusted; therefore, that, these facts would be taken into consideration, and that -an extinguisher would be placed'on the Bill. The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that the subject of the Quarantine Laws had lieen under time consideration of Parlia ment before this year; that a report upon them had been made by a Committee of the House of Commons so late as 1819 ; that changes were then recommended which had since bn adopted, but that neither then nor at . present were those Changes recom-i mended on the principlethat the plague wits not contagious. The question respecting contagion had been agitated in both cases, and he was wilding - to agree with the Noble Earl (Darn ley) that its non-contagion had not been established. The Committee, therefore, -never 'differed on the-subject, whether all precautions ought to be neglected, and all regulations abo lished ; but what were thd best precautions, and the least op pressive and most effectivts regulating. H e (bora Liverpool), for one, would -rather err on the side o f caut i on than that o f rashness in soimportant a , matter. He willingly allowed that neither in Engla,rid nor the nortli of - Europe had this'seourge for a long time appeared-; but still he would not expose this country to its visitation,' by rashly adopting the principle of its noncontagions effects.. The object of the present Bill was two-fold-Ist, shift the - expence-of quarantine from the' owners'Of ' , the Ships :exposed to it, to the country whose health it was necessary to. protect ; and secondly, to abolish penalties which were unnecessary; or to mitigate those which were too severe. He (Lord Liverpool) allowed-that an unfounded alarm had been spread among foreign States, and that decrees- had been made, grounded on a mistake - of what had been done or was intended to be done here ; but those alarms would sub side, and those decrees be altered, as soon as the real object of 'Parliament came to be known. .- Lord KING supported the Bill,ancl contended that he saw no satisfactory evidence of the plague being contagious. The laws of quarantine at some future period would be classed in the same category with the laws against witchcraft: The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be re ported to-morrow.

The House wentinto Committee on this when, after a conversation, in which Lord Rldesdale, Lord Ellenborough, Lord Darnley, and the Lord Chancellor, took Part, the House resumed, and the Chairnian (Lord ShafteSbury } moved that the report be received this day three months. The motion was agreed t 0.,. and:the Bill consequently lost. .The chi e f groun d of oppositi on s t a t e d by th e L or d Chancellor to th e m easure was the want of a clause for.

Mr. DENMAN said he had presented a petition on a former occasion frOm dpersOn mimed Canifcr 7 - complaitiing of the con.' duct of a Mr. Kenrick ' a Magistrate of Surety', and on the same evening moved for the production Of :certain affidavits' which had been printed and laid before 'the House.. .On s a turday last,: he had also nimed• for the production of a- letter written! by, Mr. Kenrick, which had'. been since laid on the table, and which he now begged leave to move should 'be printed likewise. ' His object was, that these papers should be in the bands of Honourable Members, preparatory 'to the ex aniination of four or five :witnesses; for -whose attendance at - .the Bar of the Houie on Friday next he meant now -to'submit .a Motion :Irani the testimony of' -those witnesses, he believed he would be able to prove; that the letter written by Mr. Ken, rick .to a gentleman in Linctfin, purporting lo explain the teen.- - sacfiona with Franks, was totally inconsistent with the affidavits' already produeed, and as totally inconsistent with the real truth., Frain the interrogation of two or 'three of- these witnesses, he thought indeed it would beloutid, that the account' of certain magieteritd transactions relating to Franks *ere totelly.dettitute of truth. It had been suggested to -him, that instead of pltr. suing that course, he should first - have prefetretleioine written charge against Mr. Kenrick. lie, for his own part, was quite , indifferent about the Course which might be prescribed to him, but he would just take the liberty to obseree ; that although the -letter upon which he founded his accusation against Mr. Ken rick was grossly libellous, it did not constitute any legal of- fence. fi is view was, that although the results of the inquiry . might show clear malversation in office, partiality, and a de , Dial of justice in lfis capacity of a Magistrate, on the part of 31r. Kenrick, followed up by a letter reflecting on the charac ter of the object of his prosecution; still'that there was nothing 1 beyond the libel of real offence. There was quite Sufficient t however, in the petition thus substantiated and supported to enable the Crown to take measures for depriving - Mr. Kenrick Of his situation as a' Magistrate, and he thought that after the admission of a person being unfit to exercise the magisterial -duties, it would be very . diffictilt to contend that he should con tinue to administer justice as a Judge. He did not - mean to .say that it was a consequent which 'must 'follow ; but that there would be good grounds for an Address of the Howse to the Crown, inconsequence of the information it would be' in poi. session of with regard to the want of those qualities in a Magis trate which were indispeneablein a judge. The-Hon. Mere. -bee then moved that the persons whose names were mentioned in the motion be summoned to attend at the bar of that House on Fridayllext. • If the House' thought he should state any thing in writing,' he was in their hands, and content to follow their suggestions ; for he had no feeling upon the case either one way or the other. The individual accused, he was fully aware, 'had not yet been heard in his defence, and they were as yet proceeding on one side of the question. Mr. Secretary PEEL apprehended there was some difficulty in the course about to be pursued by the Learned Gentleman. They 'were 'going to' establish a bad -precedent of making in. quirt' by witnesses at the bar upon mere implication. The House was not in possession of the charge. The letter had , not been 'read, and he thought it would be much more con . sistent with Parliamentary proceedings, and much snore just to the individual, if the Learned Gentleman would put his accu ' sations in writing, and give the person accused an opportunity of knowing'what was the charge preferred against him. • The Hon. Gentle Man might only put down what he had just stated to the Meuse, or any of the grounds upon which he condemned Mr: Kenrick; or at all 'events postpone his' motion -for the -production Of witnesses until the letter was printed and-read by the Members-of 'the House. Mr. S. BOURNE agreed with the Right Hon. Secretary (Mr. -Peel) that - the 'charge should be Anown by the 'House ; the lowest offenders in - the lowest Court in the kingdom was fully acquainted with the crime of which he stood acused, by a specific charge , being brought against them, yet here they would put the individual on hie trial, leaving him to conjec ture his offence. ' ABERCROMBY contended thauthe objeetions'of The Right Hon. Gentleman would not hold good. When the peti tion was presented by his Learned Friend on a former occasion, more than one Hon, Member rose and stated that Mr. Kenriek .desired nothing more than to hear the subject matter of the complaint against him fairly stated. On that petition . , there fore, he (Mr. Abercromby) said the House had the charge. His lion. Friend presented a petition praying inquiry, and there it was stated that the only question upon Mr. Kenrick's part was how soon that inquiry should take place-4-and that it could not for his.wishes take place too soon. The petition and the documents connected with it only showed, therefore, what the evidence would be when produced. Any thing his Learned Friend (Mr. Denman) - had said, was only in anticipation of • what -he thought would-be- proved ; but did , not contain any now. charge; that charge was contained in the petition, and was -in point of fact one of the clearest eases he ever recollected. Mr. Secretary PEEL said; in'explanation, that he had not defended Mr. Kenrick, -but wished to support Parliamentary usage—that usage was, that the House should rug take any, determination or enter into any inquiry at all; until it was, in possession of the papers•upon which the inquiry was: to be founded. Mr. S. BOURNE explained. • Mr. C. W. WYNN thought the House should be in'posses sionof the papers, that they might he 'able to decide whether• there was a prima facie case oz not, before they took any other proceedings. -It was said, the individual complained of was unfit to'be& Judge.. They ought to be very cautious in their measures upon such &serious case. Mr. TIERNEY said, if he rightly understood the case, there was no charge against Mr. Kenrick as a Judge, but as a Ma gistrate. If the complaint was against his conduct as a Judge, that would - be another matter, and might be very differently dealt with ; but he would like to know whether that House had not upon petition, and complaint of an individual, a full right to inquire. into the` conduct of a. Justice of the Peace, , and whether in that capatity he was not open to their censure. Nothing, however, could be more absurd than to say that his Learned Friend (Mr. Denman) who was, as he distinctly said, no party in the charge, should bring forward- - some distinct ground of accusation. His Learned Friend in his situation could not do so, unleas he was prepared to take' the informa don of Candor as his own, and rely wholly 'On' its truth ; that was aline of conduct which it would be fopntlimpossible, lie rather thought, for 'Members of that House to-adopt with re gard to petitions. His Learned Friend took 'the usual course In _presenting a petition complaining, of an act of injustice and oppression ' • that petition he now offers to subStantiate by evi dence, and there could be no just ground, according to the usual practice, as far as he had known, for rejecting it upon the ground of want of information, - If the charge was sub stantiated, the next question would be, could it stiffer a person convicted of such conduct to remain in the Magistracy'? •• The House therefore at present had nothing to do but-with the peti tion against a Magistrate ; whether it would recommend any further proceedings, was a matter for consideration hereafter. Mr. C. WYNN explained. It was necessary, he thought, the criminal matter of the proceeding should be stated in some way or other, so that the House should be in possession of the charge. , The SOLICITOR-OENtRAL contended that the going into evidence without being in possession of the matter, to which the evidence applied, was at yariance with all the forms of pro.; ceeding in every Court lie was acquainted. with Proceeding against an hidiyiddal in that flouse withont telling him of his crime was a had precedent, and pregnant with .Mr. A liEl/CROIIIB Y said the motion. was for_the purpose of sub,tatitiating the facts of the petition. ;;If those facts were : proved, there was ground of censure upOn Mr. lienrick—if they were not proved, there wasati end of the matter. ". Mr. TIERNEY recommended the I-fon, and Learned Frierq it to leave oat the consideration of the letter; and confine hini§elf to an examination of the affidavit` and matter of petition. 111 r. BROUG' HAM never tindeistood that the ,Ilouse harn .. pered itself by the formalities ,of written charge:Yin any thing.. leSs than cases of impeachment. The . general practice was exactly as his flea. and Learned Friend had .proceeded in this ' case.. It was very remarkable, indeed, that there had been two cases'Very lately, during the present Session, perfectly similar to the preSent. One, the petition presented respecting the con-. duct. of • the Duke of Manchester,.. by an ,Ilon.,and Learned Friend 'of his (Dr. Lush ington) and the other a petition 'present ed lir hiniSelf from m r . Bishop fitirnett,:coniplainin'g . of cer tain ,oppressive acts Of. Lord. Charles Somerset,,whieh he in tended. to move to be referred.to a Select Committee to-morrow evening. Nnw,,it was very odd that in :neither of these cases had they heard one - word of the nece ss ity o f; written, charge, or of deciding W ithout ,information; urged. as it reason, for .the refusal of the consideration demanded ,hy the petitioners. .They were in faet, iupon petitions, a mere court ‘ of , lnquiry--not judi cionsiy,' but inquisitorially engaged., Fie 'did not, however, rise to do more than protest against' the assertion that, 'Mem bers were compelled. to bring forward a written accusation.— He kne w and had knoio the individual COmplained of (Mr. filenriek) . for sometime at the bar; he had always understood }Mil to be an honourable and .humane man, and he.had very great' hopes that he 'would be able to free himself from - all im. The original motion:Was Was then put, and, together with thf• amendments, ngreed to ; tlrst,that die facts orthe.petitio4-or Mr. Camfor be taken into consideration On Friday next ; 2dly, that the petition of Mr. Camfor, together with the above tioae, be communicated to. Mr. lienrick ; and, :icily, that Mr: Ken.- rick hare permission to attend by himself or Counsel, to reply - to the charges to be preferred against him. , Mr. 13ROLlt; H M suggested that an earlier hour. than usual ought to be fixed for going into the inquiry, in ordec that. the investigatiin might be more speedily disposed of, lie, would suggest that the inquiry should cominence at four o'eloat, at the sitting of the. House. • . . Mr. ?BEL agreed in .. the expediency of ,commencing at a still earlier hour, he would say three orhalf-put three. ... I Mr. BROUGHAM said, th a t i n th a t event hi s H on : Fii e n'ci would not be able to attend. •- . ' ' - • . . - Mr. DENMAN disclaimed any desire of interposing his private convenience with a public duty, but he thought the in quiry would be of such short duration, that it' Would not. necessary for the House to meet earlier 'than the usual hous if, however, there was a prospect of its continuance, he would - be satisfied to agree to any arrangement that might suit the - a; - commodation of the House. It was finally agreed upon that the iuquiry should connneactr at four o'clock on Friday. • COMBINATION LAWS. Mr. MAXWELL presented a petition trora jO,OOO Weavers. of GlatgOW and its vicinity' respectMg the COmbination Laws. The Hon. Member bore testimony to the industry anti . pence able habits of the petitioners :. they had at all tunes refrained from Unions and Associations, having for their object thttraisiry; of wages by acts of personal intimidation. Neither had ;tb;s.. like the Members of other trades, made any allusiOn tti .the state of the Corn Laws. Mr. Secretary. .PE EL 'would entreat of the Hon. 111 ember not to enter into any discussion upon the subject of the Corn- Laws, until he had read the Report of the Coininittee upon.the subject. He' would then perceive that the rights of 'no.elas3 had been overlooked. He himself would postpone all comment upon the subject, until the discussion was .properly before the. House. With respect to the actual situation of marmfaetutcrs. it would be found, from a referenceto the Report of'die Select Committee upon the Poor Rates, that the diminution' of their rates was greater in the years 1823 and 1824, than in the years 1816 and 1818; and the diminution .was greater in the manu facturing than in the agricultural districts. The reduction of the rates, through England generally, was 27 per cent: ; in Lancashire it was 45, and in Stafferdshire 26. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. COUNTY RATES. - The Report of the Select Copimitteeiipon the County.RaLls. Bill . was brought up, and orderitiro be taken intofUrtheieor sideration to-morrow. • , UNITARIANS. - Mr. W. SMITH held in his hand, a"petition from the, Pre testant Dissenters of the 'Unitarian Pe.rsuaSion, com'plaireng or the situation in which they were piaced, , and with. which It was impossible the House should.not be acquainted. It was i n t ba, half of these individuals he had carried a Bill through. the House with scarcely any qudstien;'iliatighUnforttinatelit' was not equally successful elsewhere. Petitioners., 410, weft complain that they have not received the approbation Al.*, body to which he alluded, but the subject of their petition is, that, from what they have heard in the discussion beforaithe House of Lords, they are in a worse and more Precarlann situation than before. They pray that .a full and inirna a .diate inquiry may be made into the circumstances of the pre.- sent law; and that a remedy, irrequisite, may be applied to the grievances of which they complain.' , In presenting this petition it was absolutely necessary for him to bring himself. before. the . House, in consequence of what had fallen from a high qtturto elSewhere: It was said by high authority, that befbre the',Unith rians were placed in any othersttuation,it would be well to reinove those disabilities under which they laboured by the Corom on La ty, for by the Con - orlon Law they appeared in the liglit,a.erinitoals to the House and to the country. This assertion was reade.b.Y. and repeated in a certain quarter; and he (;11r.5.) wes described as assenting to the idea. that notwithatahitio; ,cerfain statntea, the Unitarians *ere still liable to the Penalties : 4 the Corotioo . Law , for impugning the Trinity. He - had Uttered no much Septi merit, he had expressed rio , was directly .at issue with such declarations and such sentiment s . . in bja,api a nion, these Dissenters were riflieved by the Al of the late King, from the statutable penalties incurred by those who iletii"e:fi - vr impugned the Trinity, and, to which, befbreithe,,paaai,pg e.ctbe Act, they were liable by the common taw. - He held a canner ration upon - the subject with the ArehbishOl'of,Canterblify, of which he kept a record, to which be would appeal hearastf ed, a satisfactory proof of what lie had asserted„, -. The Airelta biahop of Canterbury told him, in explanation .of theinestire for the relief the Unitarians, that Upon the supposition, that his object was the removal of all obstacles to fair argument and discussion, lie (the Archbishop) would he willivg 1q Tee move statutable disabilities from those who . hit eugrçd the Trinity in writing and advisedly speaking but it could.. not be the intention of him (Mr. W.

In the year 1778, a case was argued before the Court of,lielegates, w hich referred to the design and object of the Toleration Act a In the course of his speech upon that occasion toial,Alansfield dared, that down to the' time in which he waa .
