Men of sclence, from the parest and most disinterested motives, have en- tered into the investigasion with a zeal and intelligence that deserve the acknowledgments of those most @ecply inter- eoted in the result. For three successive years National ‘Conventions nave been neid for the express pul of ac. ‘quiring ioformation, eliciting facts mad estadiishing theo- Ties in regsra to this matter. In the cities of Paliadel- pbia, Baltimore and New York, theso asseaiblages have Met and given their earnest attention to the scientific elu. vidation of the vital question of contagion, and the final action of the roveat seasion fa this city has brought the subject prominentiy before the commorcial world and haa led to the institution of these proceediogs. The definttion of Quarantine, as giveu by McCullough, who has long been regardes us authority oo commercial aubjects, 1s “‘mqpguiation by whicd all communication ‘with individaals, Whips or goods, arriving from places ia- fected with the plague or otner contagious disorders, or @uppoxed to be peculiarly liab!« to such infection, is inter- dicted for a certain deflaive period.” ‘Upon this theory bas the iegisiation of oar own State been founded, snd tue laws have been usiministered upon the unsound hyporbems that the febrile diseases to be up- prehenced from tue cvmmerce of the tropics were conta- gious. The #bore action of tne authorities who admuinis- tered these laws has been directed to the one object of Rustaining this now exploded theory, and the’consequence bas been that vessels, cargoes, crews aod passungers have been confined within the narrow compass of a quar- antine station, at an enormous sacrifice of means, time, healtn ana hie, without proaucing avy known beaeficial effect, eave in scouring inordiwate profits to officers, egenta and employes engaged in sustaming so unwise and iniquitous ® system.

Tne following extracts from that report will show clearly the views entertained by the Chamber in regard to the oppressive results of the system: and the practice under it:— The principal causes of complairt and dissatisfaction in re- <Penisting quarantine rervricuons, 1iAy be enumerated as * abet every aunee wosther sowed OF non athe Gesreton of Beuenrramamty Wecsay orramcer as prams “station. ba the owners or cousignees of the vesseis; asd the. sear eee elighteat accommodation rendered ne- ‘ahird—zhe practice of transshipment or lighterage of car- he Qu tine ‘aad the goes at the Quarant ‘exorbitant charges ‘io which mnerauaute are subjectos erefor, nolely tor the pro- inotion of private in! ‘and teresa objecta, Fourih—Tbe risks, delay and actual losves incident to the de- tention of cargoes and the needlessly protracted anchorage of vessels at the wusrantine, Fith—Tte tro expansive construction frequently given to existing reguiavous in to articles of commerce which are arbitreriy deemed capable of conveying infection from one port to unother, ‘hese are among the conclusions adopted in the Annual Report, anc this Committee do not hesitate to unite in tae sentiment of that report, that the abcses alluded vo im- peray ~ cal) for immediate reiorm, aud that the whole system \.uder which they prevail “requires an intelligent ‘and judicious reviaion.”? ‘The Committee come now to the consideration of the Second uiv.sioa of the subject referred for their examina- tion. Tnis branch of the question involves the one great princip'e op which the action of the bef is invoked, § — wnd it cannot be rightly considered without a careful and ‘Berious investigaiion. If the Cbamber ebail come to the conclusion adopted with singular unanimity by the National Quarantine Con- Yention, namely:—*‘Taat in the absence of evidence eetabiistiog the conclusion that yeilow fever has ever een conveyed by one person to another, it is the opinioa < of thia Convention that personal quarantine cases ot yel- y ow fever may be tafely abolisned, provided that fomites of every kina be rigidly reatricted’”’—then, clearly, so far the jadgment and action of the Caamber are concerned, its influence must stand pledged to the abrogation of re- ops Upon personal liberty under the plea of precuu- ty tionary restraint against the corverauce of contagion from -obe person to anotner; sudject, howsver, in its fullest ex- ‘tent, to the qualiti ation in regard to fomites. * Feeling the responsibility that bad been devolved upon them by the Chamber, the eommittee have assiduously devoted their time and aitention to the investigations con- fided to them. It is only by this slow and pamful process on Aes can be arrived at and important principles cs- ished. This subject bas occupied the attention of men of'science, . Yearping and humanity for centuries. ‘ Merchants, tuoagh suffering most from ite operations, have usually refrained from interfering in its management; and it will be a re. markable incident of its bitory if, after four hundred years of controversy, a question belonging as appropri. ately to commerce as to medical science should be happily ‘ adjusted by a unity of seutiment and action between two \ profeesions usually so widely distinct ia their interosts and Pursuits 2 those NOW engaged ja this investigation. The committee find that Quarantioe originated in the ‘medical dogma that forty days were oe gro to test tne exiatence of lous tafection, ly that ‘was the period to wi the restriction was bythe ‘wise men of Venice. It was believed by tnem that the forty cays bounded the crisia in infectious diseases.

Plague bas pever visited the Western continent. We im.

Tt ts now pretty well settled that many articles of do- meetic ote or in commerce are not susceptible of convey- ing coptagion; while there are others which are not in- Doxiovs, apd consequently made the spccial subjects of depuration; and yet it is assertea by Du Peyron that whis process of purification bas never been known to affect the perors evgeged in the work, and that the poison bas never been tapemitted through goods not brought ipto contact with diseaged persons. Although letters are elaboratery fumigated in the Mediterranean ports, and re. strictive rules against free correspondence invisted on with great pertpacity, yet no instance ig upoa record where ditease bad ever been communicated through that chappel, even when purification bad been omitied. In this enlightened age, wher science has revealed ec many remedial secrets, hen the materia medica has ® rapge and power never before known; when apa- tomy, pbysioloey and pathology have assumed tho highest jank in the arts of ving health and life, it may well be considered whether it be no just, an well a8 sa’e, to absndon the more onerous of these restrictions, which, in the darkness of the early eee in relation to diseases supposed to be con tap! Commerce, which is the handmaid of science, has a right to insist on a modification of these antiquated opinions, und to enlist in ber favor the acieniific dis- coveries of the age. It is believed that whiie proper es may be placed on what is actually dan- geroug—as expreszed by the term ‘‘fomites’’—there should bea complete relaxation of restrictive rules in other perrops of the sick and the wel! should pe relieved from the confined and impure atmoephere ot the vessel, and instead of being imprisoned within the narrow limits ofa Quarantine station, they shouid at once, after proper cleansing and changing of raiment, be alowed froe egress into the pure alr of the country or wo their customary Of residence. ‘the questicn of eafety in regard to clothing and bed- dig, and srticles of merchandise, which by medical ad- vice are brovgbt under the term of fomites, is a different one snd must be treated with a due regard to the lights which ecience and experience have granted to us. In entering vpon tbis investigation, the committee deemed it to be their duty, before atemptiog to arrive at apy cefpite couciasions in regard to the ecientitic ints involved, to invite the attendance at their meet- ings of a number of the most eminent mombers of the medical profearion in our city, with the view to elicit opinions on the several questions under examina- ion. The invitations were promptly and cheerfully responded to, and the committee have now to return their cordial acknowledgments to the following gentlemen, namely— Dr, Alexancer H. Stevens, Dr. John W. Sterling, Dr. Al- fred ©. Poet, Dr. Elisha Barrit, Dr. Alexander N.

In unwbolesome places, and eape- cially In uncleauly and infected vessels, it is a foarrul encmy of human life. It should rarely, if ever, be confin- ed within the close bounds of a quarantine station, longer than is indiepensably necessary for the purification of per- fon and clothing and the removal to more appropriate ac- commodations. ‘The like remarks will apply to cholera, in regard to which disorder confinement sbould rarely be resorted to. This is a malady to be found only where localizing condi- tions, that favor its prevalence, exist, a8 on shipboard, in filthy dwellings, in pestilent atmospheres, or where bodies of people are congregated.

By the British Merchant Shipping act of 1864, the liabi- lity of a shipowner for loss or damage to life or property, occurring without bis actual fault or privity, is limited to the value of the ship and her freight. [See chap civ., 17th and 18th, Victoria.) ‘The principle upon which this law proceeds is obvious- ly juet and equitable, and it coincides with the provisions of our own statute limiting the liability of sbip owners in such cases, (See act March 8, 1851, 9 United States Statutes at large, 635.) Ithas, however, been neld by the Exgiish courts, in judicial decisions in cases involving the construction of the act firat above referred to, that it ap- plies only to recognized British vesrels, and that Ameri. can ewners (notwithstanding the limitation of liabiity secured to them by the law of their own country) are no entitled to the benefit of the English statute, but are responsible to British eubjecta to an unlimited extent, fo- the congzequences of the disasters embraced within th purvien of the statute. It will be apparent at once that in this state of the law the very evils which tho British Shipping act and whe act of gress above referred to were intended t prevent, still exist in reapect to all American vessel and their owners incurring liabilities to Britian subjects, and, by parity of reasoning, to all British veasois and their owners incurring Nabilities to American citizens American owner of an intercat, however small, in ‘8 vessel which by reason of collision with another should be held hable, might thus be compelled to respond in damages 10 the extent of the entire lose, however great. No prudent man would be willing to be engaged in com- Merce at such risks, erpeciatly as no vitiance or fore- sight on the part of owners can guard agarust the danger of coWision—s peril of the seas which the constant in- crease of navigation by steam as weil as sails contioually augmeuts. ‘The interests of onr commerce imperatively demand that ome relief shouid de afforded against the Habilities to which we refer, and that the equitable principles al- ready recognized by both Kngland and the United States fo respect to their own sbinping, sould be made a part of the thternational law of the two countries, Tn bope that this simple statement of the cane will be Sr Mciert to veeure your earty aod fAeorAbIO stUentOR Us We GA) Gay Oy UL LOL baS Uk die fetid Wolmeivns bo OU. extended con:meree, We have the honor to be your most | obed « ut servants, GOODRUE & 00.

Banks, of Wassachusetts, left town yesterday for home. He bag been in town and vicinity for about « week, and bas received every attention from all classes of the community, Gov. B. seems to be as popular bere ‘a8 be Is in his own State, ‘ Mr. Stephen A. Douglas, who is staying at the Evorett ‘Houe, is not in New York, as many persons suppose, for political purposes, but to carry on financial operations in Wall streot. He was thorefore appropriately visited yes- terdsy by the millionaire William B. Astor, while the Tending pouiticians who used to be so enthusiastic about him, kept aloof, and did not pay him their wonted respects. There was no serenade, and no firing of the big gun by Coptain Rynders. The only cannonade we heard last evening was the artillery of heaven. In fact no politica notice appears to have been taken of “the champion of squatter sovercignty.” Of course this is because the shrewd politicians know that politics are not the object of Mr, Douglas'{ visit to New York, and not because they always worship the rising eun,and never pay homage to that which ia cotting in the weat. Itis not, therefere, on scoount of the recent letter of Judge Douglas, virtualiy @eclining in advance the et Charleston, and ths dashing the hopes of democratis patriots in this city to the carth—it ‘on this account that the ‘Tammany Hall leaders have not called on him and made apcise—but because they do not wish to take up his time, ocoupied as it is in important monetary transactions. There is atime for everything, and the Tammany politi- clans are the most considerate of men, and at the same time the wisest in their generation, for they can always — @ hawk from a bandsaw when the wind is ‘The Hon.

Barvard, Recorder of the city and county of New York, to Miss Fannie Anderson, daughter of Mr. John Anderson, whose name is identified with the Lorillards, Gilseys aud Lillienthals in the tobacc> trade of the meiropolis. Mr. Anderson has, by his tact, industry and perseverance, accumulated a princely for- tune, apd the corbeille and trousseau of the bride were something magnificent. The ceremony was performed at the Retormed Dutch church, corncr of Fifth avenuc and ‘Twenty-first atreet, at eleven o'clock. The church was entirely filled, and among the audience were a great many exceedingly pretty women (brides in expectancy), and a crowd of politicians, more or less distinguished. Among the latter class were, Mr. Isaac V. Fowler, Postmaster, and one of the groomsmen; Mr. John W. Forney, of Phi- wdelphia; ANd Mrs Clamny, County Clerk. Subsequently to the ceremony the bridal party an@-tnviews geese ware. entertained at a magnificent dejeuner 2 la fourchette, at the residence of Mr. Anderson, in Madison avenue. The whole affair was done up in grand style, and some two thousand invitations were issued. The Recorder, who has in his time sentenced a great many people, received the edict that terminated his bachelor life with the utmost equanimity; the bride was charming, and every one gave the warmest expression to his congratuls- tions, As we have stated above, the Recorder seemed rather to enjoy his captivity, and it is therefore quite certain that he dercrves it, Ho will take ® recess frem bis official duties till August; and in the meantime the bench of theSessions will be occupied entirely by Mr. Judge Russell, whose promptness and efliciency have ae ‘him a perfect terror to evil doers, uid EXcursion TO THE Coast OF Lanrapok—The schooner Melrose, Captain Join W.
