The Mtn:ante of last Saturday, which arrived
yesterday, contains the following eff't ed communi- • .;
cation on the subject of this elevated .end distirl- .
. 1
goished visitor.:
" The Comet, situated in the constellation of the Lynx, and
which suddenly appeared in thin first days of Jul,, is now too 1
distant from the earth to be discernable by the naked eye. The ' i 1
following are its correct elements : • i '
" Instant of the Comet's passage at her Perihelion of the •
28th of June, mean time, live° clock, 17 minutes after midnight. • '
" Perihelion distance (the distance from the earth to the sun
being taken for the unit) 0,34007.
Longitude of the ascending node - - 273. O. 34.
Longitude of the Perihelion - - 284. 4. 55.
. lnclination of its orbit - - - 80. 43. 0.
1,
Helio-centrical motion—direct.
" These elements reptant the observations pretty correctly. . I 1
The greatest errors in londe do not exceed 26. and are under
CO. with respect to latitude.. They may be still rendered more
perfect by the observations which may be made..before the total
1
disappearance of the Comet. It is not probable, however, that
'
its can be determined, and coosequently that the lime
•
of its return can be ahnounced ; but it may be already affirmed . i !
that it does not resemble any of the Comets which have been I 1
formerly observed. It was, therefore, impossible to antLipate , !
its apptoach.
" " It results from the preceding elements, that when the Comet
went through its Perilitlion on the 28th of June, its distance I . fruti the Sun was about twelve millions of leagues. On the Scl ... i
of August that el:stance had Increased to 34 millions of leagues,
and when the. Comet was seen for the first time at Paris on the / I
,ad /:f July, it was at the distance of about 28 millions of leagues i
. i . from the earth. " 130UVA1ID.

„REPOR Il T. 1
The Select Committee of the House of Commons, appointed to 1
consider the validity of the doctrine of contagion in the Plague,
and to report their observations thereupon, together with the
minutes of the evidence taken before them, to the House,— 4
1 . i
have considered the matters to them referred, and have agreed 11 upon the following Report :
Your Committee, being appointed to consider the
validity
of the received doctrines concerning the na-
ture
of contagious and infectious diseases, as distin- •
guished from other epidemics, have proceeded to ez- .
i il .
1
amine a number of Medical Gentlemen, whose prac- 1
tical experience or general knowledge of the subject 1 appeared to your Committee most likely to furnish I
, , i
the meads of acquiring the most satisfactory infer.
mation. They have also had the evidence of a num- i
her of persons whose residence in infected countries,
1 ; '
or whose commZrcial or official employments, enable
them to communicate information as to facts, and on I
the principle and efficacy of the laws of quarantine :
all the opinions of the medical men whom your Com=
1 : 4"\
mittee have examined, with the exception of two, are
in favour of the received doctrine, that the Plague is j I.
a. disease communicable by contact only, and dif- t .
ferent in that respect from. epidemic fever; not do
1
, your ComMittee see any thin in .the,rest of the evi '4
- , , i ,); 1
dente they have collected, which would induce them • ,
to assent from that opinian. It appears from some w 1 , ,
of the evidence, that the extension and virulence of
the disorder is considerably modified by atmospheric
i I 'i
, influence ; and a doubt has prevailed whether, under
,11 ,4
'i
any circumstance, the disuse could be receive 4 and ,!
propagated in the climate of Britain. No fact what- 1 i 1
'
ever has been stated to shew, that any instance of the ,
disorder has occurred, or that it has ever been known $: • 'I
, .
to have been brought into the Lazarettos for many .
• 1 ,
years : but your Committee do not think themselves . ..
• 1
warranted to infer from thence, that the disease can- . t ,
, i I,
, i
not exist in England, because in the first place, a dis-
ease resembling in most respects the plague, is well
known to have prevailed here in manyperiods of our .;
history, particularly in 1665-6 ; and further, it ap- .
pears that in many places, and in climates of various •
=tine, the plague has prevailed after intervals of
veryconsiderable duration.
Your Committee would also observe, down to the
year 1800 regulations were adopted which must have
had the effect of preventing goods infected with the •
plague from being shipped directly for Britain; and
they abstain from giving any opinion. on the nature
land application of the quarantine regulations, as not
falling within the scope of inquiry to which they
have been directed ; but they see no reason to ques- ;
tion the validity of the principles on which such regu-
lations appear to have been adoped —Ju-.-,e 14, 1819. 1' i l

The fine plantation of THOMAS TARLETON, Esq. li
•
of Bolesworth Castle, on the hills at Broxton, in Che- •
shire,- was wilfully set on tire in fort* places, early in
1 •
the morning of Wednesday last, by which means two .
acres of young healthy trees were destroyed, and it
'was with great difficulty that the cottagers who re. il
sided adjoining the plantation, which consists of about .
six acres, could save their little property from the
flames. One hunched guineas reward is offered lathe' i.

We regret to state that part of the magnificent seat
of Sir JOHN LEICESTER, of Tatley, in Cheshire, was, 1
in the course of Friday night last, consumed by fire. ,
Such was the destructive force of the flames, that 1 ''

nothing but the extraordinacir and unprecedented •
1 . . • ' exeitions of the neighbouring tenantry, made at the
' t:'
imminent risk of their lives, could have saved the "
whole of the splendid mansion from falling' a prey
to the futy of the devouring elethent. From what IIH

from the great popularity of Sir JOHN' among all

ranks, there is not even the slightest ground for sur- ' 4 1.
mice that an event which is so deeply deplored by t
the whole neighbourhood, could have arisen from
any thing else than mere accident. Sir Joins and l•.
Lady were at Liverpool.

The accounts which we continue to receive from

ther than diminish both in magnitude and interests
Those which we have received this morning, and
which will be found at length in our other columns,
are of a more unpleasant complexion than any which
we have before had the painful duty to lay before the
Public ; but we think and do trust that much of the
evil forebodings which pervades them may be attri-
buted to that excess of apprehensiveness, natural to
persons writing from the centre of the scene of
danger, and more immediately exposed to suffer
from the consequences of any commotion.
