PLAGUE OR NO PLAGUE.
In the House of Lords on the 9Th inst, Lord
King presented petition from DR.. M'Iean asains;

observ ed that the petition deserved the serious at
tention OF their Lordships, it from one
who must be acknowledged to be very ardent
searcher alter truth, even if he not right He
would not, however, detain them by going into all
the de as of the petition, which pra ed for rev-
sion OF the present laws, the ground of their be-
ing founded on the belief that The plague depended
on contaSIon-a doctrine which many eminent
physicians regarded founded in prejudice and ig-
norance The petitioner was one OF those who
commended that the plague epidemic, not con-

lese of Physicians, but lie did not think that the
best mode OF getting question of difficulty solved
That Learned Body probably had, like some others,
a great dislike to Innovation, and would, no donb
very willingly swallow the whole 80 articles in
one bous. lie did not think these persons the
best 10 reform physic, any more than he
should think lawyers The best for reforming
the law. He would just as soon apply TO the Arch
bishop of Dublin for the reform OF st. Athanasius's

day last the Noble Earl opposite very seri-

and the oolsack in the very line Of the drausht of
INDIGESTION. lie then came towards the table to
speak on the Canada Corn Bill, and Immediately
the Noble Earl found himself seized with this cpl
demie of indecison. lie first proposed years
for the period OF the bill; by and by he sunk down
to three years; and lastly to one year. To show,
however, how different the epidemic was from
contagOn, or animal poison, the Noble Lord SOFA

Of The Exchequer and the President Of the Board of
Trade, ITO had not been affected by the disorder,
but stood firm. With them he got rid Of bis cpl
demic indecision, and promised to carry his bill
through the House. The Noble and Learned Lord |
TOO, could get rid ofhis indecsion certain ques-
