Mr. DENNIAN hoped the present Bill would g';
rid of the necessity of resorting to such an
and useless Judge as a Deputy Lord Chancellor; a:ld
he called on the Member for Mnntrnse to °purse

QUARANTINE LAWS AT MALTA.
Mr. HUME rose to make a motion on the subject
of the Quarantine Laws. He observed that it 144
well known the European Powers. had made a regu.
lotion which was common. to them all for the la„,
vention of the importation of the plague in the
' Southern ports of Europe. Owing to a relaxation of
those regulations 'in 1813,. the plague made its ap,
pearance in Malta ; this occasioned Malta to Ise et.
Chided from free pratique with Europe, whic.b
never had been before. So strict were these reise
tions in other countries, that the Neapolitan Princes,
Maria Caroline, the bride to the Duke of Betri,t,
well as the Duke himself some time afterwards vet
obliged to' perform the ordinary quirantine. The rely
contrary practice was followed by Sir T. Maitland,
insomuch so that all confidence aas now lost in
tish vessels navigating the Mediteri anean Sea. Beals
objected to the arbitrary lowering of raising the dutn
on corn imported into Malta, as being li.tble to vei
great abuse; and cotacluded by moving for a Copy
of the Correspondence between 0-It:Governor cf Malu,
the Colonial Office, and the Committee sof Merchas
of Malta, or. the subject of the Quarantine La ws.
Mr. WILMOT-HORTON observed, that the scie
of duties on the importation of corn into Mahar;
arranged always proportionably to the import pia
of corn, which, of 'course, must always be vary*,
without there existing any improper motive for tit•
ing or lowering the duties The regulation; of qe
rantine at Malta were held by the Malte,e 'Lerch=
themselves to be the most perfect in the Mediterranea
Sea. It was true, that men of war were liable tom
exception in their favour, because the practice of er
purgation took place every day on board a King
ship, which it was the object of the Quarantine Lan
to enforce. Neither in Naples nor Marseitles stet
the quarantine regulations so strict as in Malta. k
was true, thatahe Governor, Sir Thomas Maitland,ha
made an excursion to Tunis, which place was sup
posed to be one liable often to the plague, whereheir

' On his return, it was not considered necessary that
should undergo the forms of quarantine, expel!
because he went and returned on board of a Kite
ship. The Hon. Member here referred to atrial
documents from different Consuls abroad, whii
stated, that the system of our quarantine at Mgt
was completely perfect, and required no imptov
meet. He hoped the House would be convinced thee
was no occasion for him to make another obsery •
on this topic ; but if the Hon. Member still teq
any papers on the subject, he should feel
pleasure in furnishing them for his perusal. •
' Mr. HUME explained, that his complaint
that there was no Board of Health at Malta. He
clined moving for any particular papers, hoping
the Hon. Member would lay before the House
extracts which might throw a light on the subject

objection to do so.—The motion was then withdra
