THE QUARANTINE LAWS.

We copied last seek Item one of the Paris journals
a abort parie4risph, stating that it was in contemplation
to bold a sanitary congress with the view to the better
regulation of the quarantine laws. We are now enabled
to give, from a semi-official source, the following de-
tails:—After the resistance offered by the sanitary board
of Marseilles to the new regulations preseuted by the
French Government with a view of diminishing the up-
presaive operation of the quarantine ri gu‘ations, it was
resolved to propose to the maritime Powers that au
inquiry should be made into the cm:, character and
ettect of the diseases (the yellow lever, the plague, anti
the cholera) against the propagation of which restrictive
measures are adopted in dill_ rent countries, with
a view of coming to somo general understand-
ing on the subject. It was proposed by the French
Government that a congress should be held at Tk,ulon,
end ttiat each maritime Power should send to it two de-
kgetee, one to represent the commercial interests, the other
a member of the faculty of medicine. The suggestion of
a congress was universally approved of; bti, some of the
Powers disapproved of the place named for the n:ieting,
and proposed Montpelier. On this the French Govern-
, went proposed Paris, as being central and affording to
the delegates not only immediate access to the best in-
formation, but also giving to them the advantage of being
able to communicate at once wish the embassies of their
respective countries, in the event of such a cAurse being
ivcessary. This last prope,sition has been acced to, and
the Congress will commence its labours soon after the
middle of the present mouth. We understand that the prin-
cipal points to be submitted to the congress by the
French Government, are—ls the cholera contagious?
Are quarantine regulations against ibis disease neises-:
sary for public security ? Iu cases of plague is it
safe to adopt the system practised by Austria, of
allowing the quarantine to commence from the date
of the sailing ut the vessel from -its last port 'in-
stead of that ut its arrival at the port of destination?
Is it not advisab:e to form a general sanitary board re-
presenting all the maritime Powers, and to appoint for
each port, where a quarantine sheik exist, a medical
man, who shall represent, not merely the country in
which he resides, but all the maviuime Powers, and
whose declaration shall be conc;usive, unless it be set
aside by the decision of the board on tne remonstrances
to which it may give rise.—Guligreines Messever.

*roof( EXCEL% WM—The share market continues ex-
tremely quiet, and the good traffic returns of the principal
lines of railway appear to produce no beneficial effect upon
the prices of shares. Ws did not hear of any transactions of
importance rep' rted on 'Change to-day, although it was un-
derstood that one or two trifling dales took place iu private.

THE WEL°H FLANNEL MARE.b.T.--•The Welsh
flannel market, held at Newtown, in Montgomeryshire, bas
been well supplied with goods, which have been shown in
capital condition. The prices remain as heretofore, though
they appear a little unsettled with a slight downward tes►-
dency. The finer kinds are the heaviest of sale, though
former prices are titmly maintained. The Machyullati
and Llanbrynmair makes are in the greatest request, and
they sell well.—Aorili Wales Chronicle.
