(From a Supplement of the London Gazette.)

At the Council Chamber, Whitehall, the 7th day
of May, 1866.
By the Lords of her Majesty's Most Hon. Privy
Council.

Present—Lord President, Lord Privy Seal, Duke
of Somerset, Sir George Grey, Sir Thomas Fre-
mantle, Mr. Milner Gibson, Mr. Villiers, and Mr.
Bruce.
Whereas, by an Act passed in the sixth year of
the reign of his Majesty King George IV., cap. 78,
it is, among others, enacted, " That it shall and may
be lawful for the Lords and others of his Majesty's
Privy Council, or any two or more of them, to make
such order as they shall see necessary 'nd expedient
upon any unforeseen emergency, or in any particu-
lar case or cases, with respect to any vessel arriving
and having any infectious disease or distemper on
board, or on board of which any infectious disease
or distemper may have appeared in the course of the
voyage, or arriving under any other alarming or
suspicious circumstances as to infection, although
such vessel shall not have come from any place from
which his Majesty, his heirs, and successors, by and
with the advice of his Privy Council, may have ad -
judged and declared it probable that the plague or
any such infectious disease or distemper may be
brought, and also with respect to the persons, goods,
wares, and merchandise, and other articles, as afore-
said, on board the same ; and in case of any infectious
disease or distemper appearing or breaking out in
the United Kingdom or the islands aforesaid, to
make such orders and give such direction, in
order to cut off all communication between any
persons infected with any such disease or distem-
per and the rest of his Majesty's subjects, as
shall appear to the Lords or others of his Ma-
jesty's Privy Council, or any two or more of them,
to be necessary and expedient for that purpose, and
likewise to make such orders as they shall see fit
for shortening the time of quarantine to be per-
formed by particular vessels or particular persons,
goods, wares, merchandise, or any other articles,
or for absolutely or conditionally releasing them,
or any of them, from quarantine ; and all such
orders so made by the Lords or others of the Privy
Council, or any two or mure of them as aforesaid,
shall be is good, valid, and effectual to all intents
and purposes, as well with respect to the commander,
master, or other person having the charge of any
vessel, and all other persons on board the same, as
with respect to any other persons having intercourse
or communication with them, and to the penalties,
forfeitures, and punishments to which they may re-
spectively become liable, as any order or orders
made by his Majesty, his heirs, and successors, by
and with the advice of his or their Privy Council,
concerning quarantine, notified by proclamation or
published in the London Gazette:—
And whereas a certain infectious disease—that is

to say, Asiatic cholera—is prevalent in certain
foreign parts ; and whereas it is expedient to cut off
all communication between persons on board any
vessel infected with that disease and the rest of her
Majesty's subjects :

Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers con-
ferred upon them by the above-quoted section of
the said act, the Lords of the Council do order, and
it is hereby ordered,_

1. That in case of any vessel arriving in any port
of the United Kingdom having such disease on board,
no person shall land from such vessel for the space
of three clear days after her arrival, without the
permission of the local authority.
2. The local authority shall forthwith cause all
persons on board the said vessel to be examined by
a physician or surgeon, and shall permit all such
persons to land immediately who shall be certified by
such physician or surgeon to be free from such disease.
3. All persons certified by such physician or sur-
geon to be affected with symptoms of such disease
shall be removed, if their condition admits of it, to
some hospital or place to be designated for such pur-
pose by the local authority ; and no person so re-
moved shall quit such hospital or place until some
physician or surgeon shall have certified that such
person is free from the said disease.
4. In the event of any death from cholera taking
place on boardof such vessel, the body shall be taken
out to sea, and committed to the deep, properly
loaded, to prevent its rising.
5. The clothing and bedding of all persons who
shall have died or had an attack of cholera on board
such vessel during her voyage, either at any foreign
port or on shore at such port, or on her passage to
the United Kingdom, shall be disinfected, or, if ne-
cessary, destroyed under the direction of an officer
of the Customs.

6. The local authority, for the purposes of this
order, shall be the Local Board of Health where
there is such local board; and in any corporation
where there is no such local board, the local autho-
rity shall be the Town Council of such corporation.
7. All persons offending against this order shall be
liable to such penalties as are imposed by the said
act of Parliament upon persons offending against
the provisions thereof.

ARTHUR HELPS.

The market for Foreign and Colonial Produce
are quiet without any very material change in
prices. Regarding Russian tallow, Messrs. Cul-
verwell, Brooks, and Co., state as follows :
During the past month the market has presented a
rather unsettled appearance, and prices have ex-
perienced some fluctuations, the disturbances being
chiefly due to the warlike aspect of continental
affairs. ;The demand for consumers has been
mostly slack, owing to a good supply of home-made
tallow ; and the principal business has been with
speculators, who have operated to some consider-
able extent in Y. C. for future delivery. At the
moment the market is q'iiet, with steady prices,
the latest quotations for Y. C. being 475. for ready
delivery, the same for June, and 48s. 6d. per cwt
for October to December next. There has also been
a large supply of tallow from the Black Sea,
which has tended to restrict the demand for other
descriptions, further quantities also being expected.
A new Express Company, called the Merchants'
Union, has been organised in New York, with a capital of
$15,000,000.
