would not advert to them now, because he had no op-

Mr. Ethic e likewise returned thanks, stating that
Sir R. Wilson was travelling with him from Paris till

Thanks were voted to Mr. Pavell and other gentlemen;
after which the fleeting was dissolved, Mr. Lambion

THE MARQUIS OF BUCKING!IAM AND TIE
BUCKS CHRONICLE.
The following following account of the contemptible, and,
we think, disgraceful interference of the Marquis of
Buckingham, in his magisterial capacity, we copy
from that excellent evening paper, The Traveller:—
"The Bucks Chronicle, in its paper of the 28th July, inserted
the following paragraph The first and second regiments of
Bucks Yeomanry were reviewed in Ilyde Park, on Saturant, by
the Duke of York: the Marquis of Buckingham headed his rigi •
meat. The Queen happening to pass the Park at the time of
their dismisital, a considerable body tire tint regiment galloppod
atter her Majesty, and escorted her to Krandenburgh House.'
" This paragraph, which the Editor admitted on rtvectable
authority, he inserted as a matter of tact, without note or corn .
ment. Great indignation in consequence foPowed, and Sir W.
Clayton, the commanding officer of the regiment, pronounced it
a malignant fabrication, and formally contradicted it. This pro-
duced a remonstrance front the Editor, as there was no inalignity
in the case, and Sir %V. Clayton, with a gentlemanly feeling of
the fact, disavowixi all intention of imputing any to the BioAs
Chronicle. Not so the Marquis of Ileckingham ; co indignant
was he, the paper in question most be depriv.xt of the county
advertisements, which it received in common with other journals
of the district, and in consequence his friends and retainers trip.
ported a motion at the Quarter Sessions, which passed by a
majority of 32 to 12 to that purpose. The paragraph was, atter
all, substantively true, with the exception of the Wee.' tile event
occurring on the day of the Coronation instead of that of the Re-
view,' says the Buckingham Chrouick, in explanation. • The
Queen was returning to Brandenburglt house just at the time of
the distuissal of the Sea regiment of the Bucks Yeomanry at
Kensington. A considerable numbs or the Yeddlumry, to the
amount of 50 or 60, surroundetyhe carriage in every direction,
behind, in tiont, and on each side, and continued to keep up
with it with the express intention of paying respect to her Ala-
jesty. They had been on duty from two in the morning till that
hour, ten at night, and both men and horses were completely
fatigued. The Queen drove at a very rapid rate, so that is each
man found himself unable to keep up with her, he went to his
quarters. Twenty or thirty, however, continued with the car-
nage beyond their quarters, and six actually accompanied her
within the gates of kinuplenburgli House.'
" "ro the truth of this statement,' adds the Buckingham
Chronicle, • we pledge our public respectability, in the face of
Lord Buckingham's denial ; and it' his Lordship, after this open
detail, hazards a denial, we will produce our authorities Irons
among the parties themselves. 11 e have, therefore, been pro-
scribed, if the grounds of the order at Buckingham were not a
frreteut, for stating without a comment a ciecuroslance whitili we
knew to Le true.
•• So much for the magnanimity of the representative of the
house of Grenvil:e, and ao much tbr the employment of the
goose-quills of which the Stationery-office, some years ago, sur-
plied with so prudent a provision.'

CONTAGION.—We copy the following letter from
The Liverpool Courier :
TO THE EDITOR.
Sta,—l find it maintained, in a letter loignetl by Dr. James
Johnson (London Courier of the Bth October), that the yellow
fever is a disease of local origin, which never was imported into
the countries where it happened to rage ; that it was nut personally
contagious; that the poison, or maiaria, which produces the
disease, originates from the soil itself, being elicited by particular
seasons; that the fever so generated, if exported to other coon.
tries, could not there be propagated, for want of its proper pabu.
him: that, at least, such is the opinion of many enlightened
and English physicians—an opinion satisfactorily. con-
firmed by the personal and reiterated experience of Dr. James
Johnson. To the above assertion I beg leave to oppose the fol-
lowing fact :—ln the year 1800 a vessel, with a cargo of cotton,
from Philadelphia, was consigned to Messrs, Segalas and Cu. au
eminent mercantile house of Cali& The Board of Health,
having been informed that several seamen belonging to that vessel
had died during the passage, put her under 3 strict quarantine.
As the house of Segalas enjoyed great credit, and the special
protection of Don Ifrquijo. then Secretary of State, obtained Barn
that Minister permission that the vessel should be released from
the quarantine. she was, of nouns, admitted into Cadiz, the
crest landed, the cargo unloaded. The consequence w•a.s, that a
few days after, the yellow lever broke out, for the first time, in ,
the town. M. Segalas, the greater part of his family and all
his clerks, were the tire victims. Tile des:rue:ion of liumad life
the yellow Liver oceasion.sl, then and sine:, at Cadiz, is too Well
known. It is questionei whether the fatal disease has been
entirely extirpated to this day.
