ARRIVAL IN FRANCE.

" 12. The commanders of vessels in the royal navy and
of the post-office steamers having a medical man on board,
are to remit to the competent authorities :
" 1. The bill of health and annexed certificate received
at the port they started from.
"2. The journal kept by the medical man on board,
stating any case of illness which may have occurred dur-
ing the passage.
" The medical man on duty belonging to the Board of
Health of the port where the vessel arrives, to whom
the two above certificates are to be given, is to examine
them carefully, and to certify the actual state of health
of the crew and passengers, as well as the healthy state
of the vessel, and is to make known the result of his
investigations, in a report the form of which will be de-
noted by the administration
" 13. On receipt of the bill of health and certificate
given at the departure of the vessel, of the journal kept
on board, and of the report of the medical man of the
port arrived at, the competent authorities are to deter-
mine the duration of the quarantine, and if needs be,
the special measures to be taken to prevent infection.
" 14. For vessels having a medical man on board,
coming from Egypt, Syria, or Turkey, with a clean'
bill of health, the quarantine is to be fixed at ten days,
dating from the departure of the vessel, if during the
passage no symptoms of pestilence have manifested
themselves.

" 16. For merchantmen, not having a medical man on
beard, a quarantine of ten days, dating from their ar-
rival, is to be prescribed if they have a clean bill of
health.
" 17. The same vessels arriving with an unclean'
bill of health, but withont having had any symptoms of
plague on board, are to undergo a quarantine of fifteen
days, dating from their arrival, and the goods are to be
disembarked.
" 18. Any vessel, no matter what her bill of health
may say, which, during the passage or on her arrival at a
French port, has on board a person attacked by the pesti-
lence or by a suspicious disease, is to be submitted to a
strict quarantine, the duration of which is to be deter-
' mined by the sanitory authorities of the said port.
" The passengers and crew are to be sent to the laza-
retto, and to undergo a quarantine not less than fifteen
and not exceeding twenty days.
" The goods to be disembarked and ventilated ; the
vessel to be thoroughly ventilated, washed, cleaned, and
purified, and is to remain empty at least for one month;
persons are to be appointed to guard the vessel at a cer-
tain distance, but they are to be expressly prohibited,
under whatsoever pretext, as well as every other per-
son, from going on board the vessel in quarantine.
" 19. The baggage and clothes sent to the lazaretto,
having been sealed at the port of departure, are to be
ventilated and purified in the manner deemed most ex
pedient for preventing infection.
" 20. Persons suffering from the pestilence are to re-
ceive at the lazaretto all that care and attention given
in the best organised hospitals of the country."
The Presse remarks as follows on the above conclu-
sions :
"It is evident that the committee of the Academie
de Medecine go as far as we do in the proposed system
of reform, and they limit themselves to the adoption of
the conclusions, and to giving their support to the in-
cessant appeals of MM. Auber, Roche, and Alexis de
Valon. We shall only remark upon two articles, which
we deem altogether inadmissible. Some practical know-
ledge was wanting to the Academie de Melecine. If a
merchant, or other person qualified, had formed part of
the committee, they would never have admitted Arti-
cles 5 and 19, relative to the sealing of the merchandise;
this would be a source of needless delay, embarrassment,
and trouble, and would be of the greatest prejudice to
our steamers.

teen days, and the disembarking of the merchandise, on

those ports void of lazarettos. Would it be just to
oblige the vessels of Cette, of Port Vendres, &c., to
have first to undergo a ruinous quarantine at Marseilles,
before returning to the proprietor ? According to our
notion, the academy has not sufficiently weighed this
article, which deserves closer investigation. However,
the question of quarantine has made a rapid step in
advance, and we flatter ourselves not to have lent a
powerless hand."

The Marchioness of Hastings, and Captain Hastings,
R.N., have left town for Efford House, Lymington.
SHIPS' STORES.—The Customs authorities having had
under their consideration the regulations allowing spare spars
and other articles of wood goods, as specified in the printed
instructions furnished to the tide-sutveyors for their informa-
tion and guidance, to be left on board foreign vessels when
cleared inwards for ships' stores, and deeming it expedient
that the same should be extended to British vessels, have
ordered that the officers at the port of London, and at the
several outports and places along the coasts of the kingdom,
do govern themselves in future accordingly, observing that if
such British vessels are from any port in the Baltic, the coast
of Norway, or any port to the eastward of Brest, one-third
less than the enumerated quantities should be allowed, as in
the case of foreign vessels returning to the Baltic, the tide-
surveyor taking care to record all articles left by them for
ship's use in the tide-waiter's book and the clearing journal,
and also in the certificate left with the master of the vessel.

MONSTER TRAINS.—On Monday morning, as early
as seven o'clock, the approach to the termini of the Brighton,
Dover, and Croydon Railway was the scene of much con-
fusion, owing to the immense number of persons waiting for
the early excursion trains. The eight o'clock Brighton train
consisted of forty-four carriages, and was propelled by three
powerful engines. It extended nearly half a mile in length,
and the carriages contained nearly four thousand persons.
The nine o'clock train took down an immense number also;
as did the trains from Dover, Ramsgate, and Croydon. Num-
bers of persons also availed themselves of the cheap excur-
sions on the South-Western, Northern and Eastern, and
Eastern Counties lines.
