A great revolution Of opinion has taken place in
Great. Britain on the subject, of the Quarantine
Laws and Bill is before parliament for their re-
neal. This measure is founded on the generally
received opinions that yellow fever is not conta-
gious, aand that the secret Of prevention lies in
cleanliness. DR.. M'Lean, an eminent physician,
whose studies and personal inquiries have been al
most entirely directed to the subject OF contagon'
has lately delivered lecture at Liverpool ON conta-
gion and the Quarantine Laws. This lecture has
lbeen published, and its reasoning, combined with
nearly the unanimous opinion Of the European and
American faculty, has produced the new measures
which are in contemplation. The Boston Medical
|Intelligencer has the following remarks on Dr.
|M'Lean's lecture
Every thing that we have heard, more and more
satisfies US that he is right in his opinion that the
received doctrine respecting contaglon is ahogehef
erroneous and that the entire system Of quarantine,
with its enormous cost and highly injurious conse-
ouences to trade, ought to be wholly abandoned.-
