" Whereas His Graiio;iilatesty has been pleased by
letters patent under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, and His Royal predecessors
have in like manner used from time to time, to appoint,
make, ordain, constitute, and depute one Lieutenant.
General and Governor General of that part of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland called Ireland,
commonly called " The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland;"
and whereas by an act passed in the Parliament of Ire-
land in the second year of the reign of his Majesty Wag
the Viso, entitled as Am tombs the hfillisoulir
this name ussfid, provision wet made the
• conamisdans of lieutenancy for the several
sat ceoatiss, chile, and places of Ireland, such
omeinieas to be isaed by the King's most Excellent
or those who Amid be from time to time ap-
Chief Governor or Governors of that Kingdom : and
whereas the said act, after baring been several times con-
tinued, finally expired: and whereas by another act of the
Parliament of Ireland passed in the 17th and 18th years of
the reign of his Majesty King George 111. entitled an Act
for establishing a Militia in this Kingdom, similar provi-
sions for the issuing commissions of lieutenancy were made;
but the said art has long since expired, and Governors and
Deputy-Governors have been from time to time appointed
fox the several counties, counties of cities, and counties of
towns in Ireland, and certain powers and authorides have
been from time to time, by several acts now in force, con-
ferred upon such Governors and Deputy-Governors : and
whereas it would teud to the better fader and government of
that part of His Majesty's dominions, if lieutenants were
appointed for the several counties, counties of cities, and
counties of towns, to act under the said Lieutenant-General
and Govemor-General, or other Chief Governor or Gover-
nors of Ireland, in like manner as may have been provided
for by the said recited acts of the Parliament of Ireland, and
as lieutenants are appointed for the several counties ridings,
and places in England; and it is moreover expedient that
the powers and authorities of the Governors and Deputy.
Governors of countis and places in Ireland should be trans.
ferred to the persons to be appointed to act as lieutenants for
the same : be it therefore enacted," &c.
There are then clauses providing that the Lord Lieutenant
may, by letters patent under the Great Seal of Ireland, ap-
point lieutenants of counties, counties of cities and towns,
who shall have the same power u governors of counties had
heretofore, and execute directions contained in letters patent.
That after the issue of such letters patent, the powers of
governors and deputy governors of counties shall cease, and
be transferred to county lieutenants and their deputies but
not to affect the custody of the Rolls or euatodes renal:ruin.
That the lieutenants of each county and place appoint de-
puty lieutenants.
Qualification of deputy lieutenants 200 L per annum, or
heir to 400 L per annum in county.
I In cities and places counties within themselves, chief ma-
gistrate to appoint deputy lieutenants ; qualification lfrOL
i per annum, or 3,0001. &c.

QUARANTINE IN PRUSSIA.

The following are the regulations adopted by the
Prussian Government for preventing the spreading
of the cholera :

RERUN, Jess 16.
Upoo the kit news of the bunking oat et the cholera,
morbus in Poland, a sanitary cordon has Dein established
on the Prussian frontier, from the Baltic, near Memel, to
the southern point of Silesia, near Cracow. Since then,
the entrance, both of travellers and merchandise, from Has.
sia, Poland, and Cracow, bas been allowed only at certain
quarantine stations, and on production of unquestionable
bWs of health. _ _ _ _ _

Ail persons not provided with clean bilis of health, as
well as goods liable to imbibe infection—viz bed-feathers,
quills, horse or cow.hair, flax, hemp, raw bides, skins,
lesther, furs, sail cloth, rope, tow, wool, apparel, &c. have
been subjected to 10 or 12 days of the strictest quarantine
and purification.
On the cholera manifesting itself in Austrian Galicia,
the Prussian frontier cordon was immediately extended op.
posite to that Austrian province, from Cracow to the fron-
tiers of Bohemia, which latter frontier itself is placed under
observation, In such manner that travellers or merchandise,
which cannot be proved to come from a place perfectly
free from suspicion, are tither refused admittance, or made
to perform quarantine.
Thus the whole of the eastern provinces of Prussia have
been surrounded with a frontier cordon, which is continued
on the part of Saxony, whereby the evading of the Prus-
sian line is rendered impossible.
On receipt of accounts of the cholera having shown
itself at Riga and Danizic, the precautionary measures have
been increased, so as no longer to look upon bills of health
fur travellers or merchandise, proceeding from Rossi', Po.
land, or Gallic's, as free from suspicion; consequently, in-
dividuals and goods coming from those parts, are only ad-
mitted after a quarantine and purification of twenty dams,
mtwithstanding any bills of health they may be provided
with. Upon the same principle, no vessel coming from
Russia is admitted into a Prussian port, until after a quaran-
tine of twenty days, and the established purification. In ad-
dition to which, vessels coming from Russia can only be ad-
mitted into such Prussian ports as are provided with quanta-
tine establishments—via. Memel, Palley, 'Minsk, Swine•
monde, and Oreiswald.
All vessels proceeding from Dantsie to another Prussian
port are dealt with as if coming from Russia.
Vessels sailing from parts in the Baltic, not Russian, are
only admitted into Prussian ports, if provided with dean
bills of health ; and will even then be placed under observe.
tion for eight days, should they come from a place in which
the precautionary measures are less strict that those adopted
in Prussian ports.
Hitherto Dantaic is the only place in the Prussian do.
minions in which any trace of the cholera morbus has
manifested itself ; this town is guarded on the land side
in the same strict manner as the Russian sod the Polish
frontiers.
