A QUESTION of the deepest interest to the nation in regard to the nature of cattle plague is at the present moment under careful consideration. During the epizootic disease which ravaged this coun try in the middle of the last century the occurrenos of pustules and scabs in the affected animals was noted by several observers. The idea then arose, from the observation of these and the general symptoms of the ailment, that the disease might probably be identical with small-pox. In 1757 Dr. LAYAED, a Fellow of the Royal Society, published a paper which commenced with these words :—" The several stages, the progress " and effects of this distemper are exactly the " same with those of small-pox." He went on to describe that in the course of the malady eruptions showed themselves all along the limbs and about the udders, whilst at the crisis there were " boils, " which, breaking, discharged putrid, stinking " matter." During the present outbreak the same phenomena have been observed. No very great attention, however, seems to have been paid to this symptom until quite recently. Within the last few days the subject has been brought prominently forward in a paper pub lished in the Laitcct by Dr. MtntiataioN, of the London Fever Hospital. It seems besides that Mr. CsELY, of Aylesbury, one of our highest au thorities on the subject of vaccination, and one of the Cattle Plague Commissioners, has for some time past entertained a strong opinion of the close resemblance, if not complete identity, of rinderpest with small-pox. It will be interesting if we note briefly the grounds upon which the re semblance is traced by those who hold this opinion, as well as the results which may be reasonably anticipated, if it should be proved to be correct. Early in the month of September Dr. Mutt cantos was struck with the occasional presence of circular flat vesicles on the udders of cows that had died of the plague, resembling in every re spect the vesicles of cow-pox. Further observation has satisfied him that these large vesicles are only present in a few cases, but that in almost every case, and probably in all where death has not occurred within the first three days of the disease, there is a papular or pustular eruption of the skin, closely resembling the eruption of small-pox. The resemblance is borne out by some other points. Thus, small pox is the only acute contagious exanthematons disease in man that assumes a pustular form. The eruption in rinderpest is also pustular. Any dif ferences between the two eruptions may be accounted for by differences in the skin of men and cattle. The other prominent symptoms and anatomical appearances of the two disorders are also strikingly similar. In both diseases there is a peculiar offensive odour from the body. The duration of the fever stage in each is the same— about seven or eight days. They are both ex tremely contagious, and capable of transmission by inoculation. This latter characteristic belongs to no epidemic disorder in man except small-pox. But at this point a difficulty occurs. If rinder pest be small-pox in the cow, it is really cow-pox, the disease from which we derive the material for human vaccination. Now, we have been under the impression that cow-pox is a very slight and trivial disorder, showing itself in the production of certain vesicles about the animal's udder, but not otherwise materially influencing its health. It will be remembered that a popular belief was long current in the rural districts of Gloucestershire that the milkers of cows thus affected who contracted the disease in their occupation obtained thereby im- ' munity from small-pox. In this belief lay the germs of Dr. Jvssra's immortal discovery. He conceived and carried out the idea of inocu lating human beings with the matter from the cow's udder, and then transmitting it directly from one person to another. The results of his discovery are before the world. With proper precautions in the performance of the operation small-pox has almost been removed from the class of disorders fatal to man. How then are we to reooncile the description of the slight disorder which has been so beneficial to mankind with the malig nity of the epidemic which prevailed during the last century ? This is only to be done by suppos ing that at the time when Jews= commenced his observations the disease, which had existed in this country with more or less severe outbreaks for thirty years, had become robbed of its pestilential THE EXPRESS, SA' character—had acquired, in fact, that mildness which is often seen at the tail of epidemics. Another point of difficulty will immediately sug gest itself. If rinderpest be small-pox in the cow, how is it that we do not hear of human beings con tracting the disorder by handling the affected animals? In reply to this it is suggested that the human race is very generally protected by vaccination. On the other hand it does appear that the disease has actually been transmitted to man in a few cases. Some evenings ainoe a man was presented I by Dr. QGAIN before one of our medical societies, who had accidentally inoculated the back of his hand with matter from the hide of a cow which had died from rinderpest. He was examined by numerous medical men, and their opinion was that the appearances presented were in distinguishable from those characteristic of cow-pox. It should be remarked, in addi tion, and the fact is extremely interesting, that of late years ordinary cow-pox has been so rare that it has been difficult to obtain lymph direct from the cow for the purpose of human vaccination. As a natural consequence the ma jority of the cattle in these kingdoms are unpro tected from the invasion of the disease in a more severe form. Such are some of the points which have been evolved in the discussion of this inte resting question. Happily we are not confined to speculations upon the subject which, however ingenious, are not conclusive. By means of ex perimental tests the question can very shortly be decided. Already measures are being taken for the purpose, and ere long the matter will pass' from the regions of doubt into a certainty one way or another. The means of testing the opinion are by inoculation and vaccination. If the cattle plague be small-pox, cattle which are convales cent from the disease should be incapable of taking small-pox by inoculation, or of being successfully vaccinated. Cattle which have suf fered from ordinary acknowledged cow-pox should be protected from the cattle plague. Cattle which are vaccinated from man or with matter taken from human small-pox pustules should also be protected from the cattle plague. Lastly, human beings ino culated with the matter of the cattle plague should show characteristic symptoms of cow-pox, which should be capable of further propagation. This last test is obviously the most difficult of application, as it is necessary that the person experimented upon should be un- protected by vaccination or previous small-pox. The other tests, however, admit of trial with but little difficulty, and there is no doubt that every care will be taken in applying them. The public will await with attentive interest the result of these experiments. If they should con firm the opinion that the cattle plague is virulent small-pox, it may be said that all apprehensions for the future will be at an end. By simply vac cinating every healthy cow, we can count upon procuring as great an immunity for our cattle as is enjoyed by the human race. It is as interesting as it would have formerly appeared paradoxical that our earnest hope& are now centred upon proving that the cattle-plague is no other than that disease which in times gone by was one of the most formidable enemies of the human race. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) established that it is a inettsr to bell by the seetral government aloes. The TergrapA thinks that apart from consideraMoss of the present emergency, there are grounds for believing that large towns could at all times be more conveniently supplied with animal food if it were omtveyed as dead meat than es live stock. It has been computed that on the average each head of cattle is deteriorated to the extent of some fifteen to twenty shillings by the hardships and , fatigue of the journey to London. Moreover, a carcase is , of course transmitted much more cheaply than an animal which has or ought to have room to move, and liquidly re quires food daring the transit. The arguments on the other side would have had far more force a few years ago, I when the facilities of communication were much lets than those we now command. %COBH FOE THE SESSION. The Times knows not whether to ascribe the candour of Mr. Bright in proclaiming the reduction of the suffrage qualification as an instalment to be followed up in successive parliaments by the ballot, a redistribution of seats, and a rearrangement of our electoral districts, to an honest zeal, or a factions in lependence. The conserv►tives see the point of the wedge in everything. But Mr. Bright does not leave this to their nerves or their just suspicions. He says plainly " this is the point of the wedge." He spreads the net and promises certain destruction. The measure apparently indicated by the hon. gentleman's reve lations would simply give us a constituent assembly, re turned for the reconstruction of parliament, unless, which is not very probable, the two great parties in the legislature could agree to a moderate reduction of the franchise, say to 201. and to 71. or 81., and mutually bind themselves to de fend that finality for • generation at least. If the franchise is touched, the measure, to be final, must also deal with the complaint of the unequal division of the notional con stituency. What we want is a moderate but comprehen sive measure, not a mere " beginning of the end." It is because Mr. Bright, the Herald says, would have the Reform Bill leased by hook or by crook, that he tells the Premier he need not dissolve parliament, after a Reform Bill, for "one or two sessions," thus practically denying political action for a year or so to the 5,000,000 new voters added to the ►utumn register. Such are the slips even of democracy ; such is the " expe tient policy of a man who professes to abhor expedients and compro mises, and to agitate upon the grand principle of pure right. The Telegraph says the mover of the resolution to re appoint the right honourable Mr. Denison, speaker of the House of Commons, will be Mr. Monett, the member for County Limerick, while Lord Grosvenor, the member for Flintabire, will second the nomination. The address in the Commons will be moved by Lord Frederick Cavendish, who site among the new members f r West Yorkshire ; and it will be seconded by Mr. Graham, who represents Glasgow. The public will not fail to notice that while those -whom we have named stand as symbols of broadly different sections of the community— and thus very faithfully reflect what may be called the idiosyncrasies of the house—they also present, upon the first proceedings of the session, a delegate from each section of the United Kingdom. We have here the manifest intention to foreshadow a sincere, just, and liberal policy—one that will conciliate the feelings and re assure the hopes of every section of the country. The Advertiser hes goad resume for believiog that the Russell administration have finally determined on abandon ing the mixed system of education in Ireland, and believes this will prove a serious matter to ministers. The Star promisee Sir John Gray the ungrudging sup port of no inconsiderable or uninfinential portion of the liberal party of England in his intention to bring the topic of the Irish church before the new parliament. But while Ireland is cared for, the question of English churzh rates must not be forgotten. Lord Russell can now command a good working majority, and this majority is pledged to vote for the abolition of church rates. Whet is wanted is a judicious leader for the abolition party. Under wise and loyal ma nagement, these rates will not outlive the printout parlia ment ; and long before its days are numbered, the best friends of the Church of England will have reason to rejoice that this vexed question no longer impairs her woefulness or distract. the country. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. The Tina gives various reasons for supposing that the last order of the Privy Council, although • great improve ment on its predecessors, is not adequate to the purpose designed. It is better than what west before it, because • quarter sessions is better than ► petty sessions district, and • quarter sessions is better thou • petty sessions district because it is larger, the truth being that for these purposes there ought to be bat one district, and that district the whole country. How monstrous that the care of the justices for a whole county assembled in their courts of quarter session should be rendered futile and of no effect by the obstinacy of a single municipal conned ; how absurd to treat the matter as one in which they alone are concerned, when it is upon the neighbouring district, and not upon themselves, that . the weight of the occasion will principally fall. Is is a gross injustice to the farmers of one county to enforce strict regulation upon them ogees you can hold out to them a reasonable hope that their sacrifice will end in the extermination of the disease, and this cannot be unless everybody else is compelled to do the same. As soon as it is established that the only way to prevent its spread is to prevent the removal of she cattle which eo•voy it, it is also ..tk.,... THI JUDICIAL COMMITTIE. The Daily Noes pays a tribute to the present Master of the Rolls for his diligence, quickness of apprehension, and singular fitness to encounter the opponents of law reform in parliament. If it be a defect that the new peer should sit with ethers in judgment on himself, it is a de fect which rune through the whole of oar judicial system, and furnishes no valid objection against elevating a Muter of the Rolls to the peerage. Thus, when application is made for a new trial on the ground of misdirection, the judge who originally tried the eau delivers his opinion in brine as to whether or not the DOW trial should be granted. Decision. delivered in chambers are reviewed by the full court of which the judge who sat in chambers is a member. The truth is the whole subject of courts of appeal imperatively demands at tention. It is clear there should be one supreme court of appeal, which is not at prevent the CYO, to which every in ferior tribunal should be responsible. If the House of Lord. persist in retaining their jurisdiction let them consent to situ a judicial committee. To this judicial committee let there he summoned all those who constitute the present judicial committee, to which might be added as man• legal peers, eminent lawyers, and ex.judgee as may be thought expe dient. Let this judicial committee (not of the Privy Council, but of the House of Lords) be empowered to determine all appeals from inferior tribunals. In each case let them draw up a report such as is drawn up at present by the judicial committee of the Privy Council, and let it be declared by sot of parliament that this report shall be the judgment of the House of Lords, and have the same effect as a judgment delivered by that house. Thos the Supreme Court which is now wasting would be established—the ad vantages of the judicial committee would be continued— ' while the House of Lords would retain the jurisdiction which they so much value, and be spared what they so much dread—the dangerous humiliation of admitting any but hereditary peers within their walls. PREMISS AFFAIRS. The Times makes use of various fasts in the report of the Secretary of the United States Navy to show that our Admiralty Gan derive much variable information from the American Navy Department generally. It may well be doubted whether the whole significance of the revolution introduced by steam into naval tactics has yet been appre. dated by our older admirals and naval authorities. It has been said, with much truth, that between the ancient triremes and modern war steamers there is a closer analogs than between the latter and such rnen.of-war as composed ' Nelson's fleet. The Russian war added little to our ac quaintance with this new power of offence and defence, and, having since enjoyed the blessings of peace, we must be content to borrow lessons from our leas fortunate neighbours. Taking the question of the extradition treaty, as the Moniteur states it, as one of mere jurisprudence, the Daily News, nevertheless, does not see how we can supply the deficiency of which the French government complains. The procedure is just that which we observe towards the United States of America, with whom we have an extra• dition treaty, and that which the United States practice when we make chinas upon them. The Daily News observes that the protection of Congress is secured to the negroes now that they stand as free men under the law, the constitution expressly stipulating that Congress in admitting states into the Union shall take care that each state has a republican constitution, and therefore must not exclude men from the suffrage on account of colour alone. the formidable problem is how to combine due protection of the negroes with respect for state rights. The whole training of the gentry, the poor whites, and the negroes in the slave States to a fitness for republican life has to be begun—an enterprise the most arduous that was ever gi►en into the hands of a ruler and parliarrent of any nation. The Post fears that the resignation by Mr. Brown of his seat in the Canadian cabinet, to be followed, it is said, by the withdrawal of the other liberal members, must have ' a prejudicial effect upon the interest. of Canada, and probably of British North America. Under a coalition administration every interest in the ',melon, would seem to have advanced. It is Of the utmost importance at the pre. sent time, when such grave questions as the renewal of reciprocity with the United States, the extension of foreign trade, and the consolidation of all British North America under one powerful central government, are awaiting their solution, that the energies and ,xperience of all the public men of Canada should be devoted towards the accomplish. ment of these objects. The Herald hopes that the common opinion of all Europe will protest against so grave an interference with private right as the exclusion from French territory of the chatty, credulous, anecdotal, and varied Indepesdasce Beige. This act of ostracism is thoroughly unintelligible, except upon the supposition, which the Herald would rather not adopt, that the influence of s rival print prevailed. EARL RUSSELL AND REFORM. —Yesterday Mr. C. J. Bunting, of the Norwich Political Union, received the following letter from Earl Russell, in response to resolu tions expressing a hope that the forthcoming measure of reform would place the franchise within the reach of every industrious and intelligent working man :—"Downing street, Jan. 4.—Sir,—l am directed by Lord Buisell to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, forwarding a copy of resolutions agreed to at a meeting of the Norwich Political Union ; and I am to inform you that be will be happy to give them all doe consideration.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE RUSSELL.—Mr. C.

A tradesman of the Merthyr district, seeing that no appeal had been pat forward on behalf of the afflicted widows and orphans of Gethin, wrote to the Queen solicit ing her Majesty's generous consideration of the case. The following is the reply received : "Osborne, Jan. 1, 1866. " Sir,—l have received the commands of the Queen to inform you, in reply to your application dated the 29th ult., that her blajsaty would wish in the first instance to ascer tain what local exertions had been made to relieve the families thrown into unexpected distress by the accident at the Gethin Colliery. Her Majesty does not doubt that the proprietors of that establishment and thoue in the neighbourhood who are engaged also in the mining business will have assisted the sufferers in this lamentable maw mace, but your letter does not enable her Majesty to judge to what extent this aid has been afforded. "It appears to the Queen that the first claims of those poor families are upon those with whom they are locally connected, and I am directed to request that you send me, for her Majesty's information, a list of the contd. butions already received.—l am, lie., (Si gne d) " C.

THE PRINCE AND PRINCFSS OF WALES.—Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales will leave Sandringh►m on Monday, via the Lynn and Hamden ton and the West Norfolk Junction Railways, for Holkhiun, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Leicester. The visits which will be of a private character, will extend over about four days. The West Norfolk hounds met at Sandringham on Thursday, when there was a very large " field." San dringham-hosue was thrown open to all the members of the hunt, breakfast being served on a scale of liberal hospitality. At noon their royal highnesses mounted their hunters, and accompanied by Captain Grey Mr. A. Ramon(' (the master of the hounds), the Hon. T. De Grey, M.P., &c., proceeded to the Dereingham-avenue, at the end of which the hounds drew the coverts. The scent was indifferent, and no fox was killed, although two were started. The Prince and Princess also attended the meet of the West Norfolk hounds at Weetecre High House (the seat of Mr. A. Hamood) on Monday. On the same day the Prince and Princess distri buted new year's gifts to the children in the Sandringham, Wait Newton, and Wolferton schools. The distribution was made at Psrk•house, the residence of Lieutenant - General Knollys, comptroller of the Prince's household. The girls received presents of scarlet cloaks, and the boys of cape and jackets. A bun, or small cake, was also given to each child.

The late right hon. gentleman, who died on Thursday last at Broom House, Fulham, was in his 83rd year. " The lovers of Alfred Tennyeon's verse and Gustave Dore's art," says the Atheneum,. " will rejoice to bear that he has undertaken to illustrate the Idylls of the King.' M. Dore is not sufficiently acquainted with our language to read this poem in the original ; and we may, therefore, apprehend that the translation which is being prepared for him may fail to impress the artist with all the beauties and subtle meanings of that fine work ; but if the translator executes his task well, there can be no doubt that the clever French illustrator will find abundant matter to inspire his prolific and wonderful pencil. The Hamburg government are negotiating with an English company for a seven-league Gabe to be laid down between London and Caxhaven, vii Heligoland. The most important preliminaries have already been ' adjusted. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Moscow Gazette, in confirmation of the alleged inclination of the English to blend the Anglican and Orthodox Churches, relates that Divine service in St. Isaac's Cathedral has of • late been frequently attended and reverentially listened to by the English residents in that capital.

As soon as a foreign drain begins, unless the Bank of England possesses (and it hardly ever quasars) an excessive reserve, it ought at once and immedi►tely to raisethe retool discount. In this case, we think it might hays kept some of the gold which came by the Great Britain and one or two contemporaneous ships if it had acted quickly. It is easy to keep gold, in comparison easy ; it is difficult W get gold beck. First, to get money back you have to pay the expenses ; next, when the money is gone, the inertia of human nature is against yen; whereas while the money was yet here that inertia was on your side. Secondly. The Bank of England will never be able to work Sir R. Peel's act if they permit the normal effluxes at the close of the quarter to influence the rate of discount. The Bank ought to prepare during the quarter for these well-known and necessary changes. We cannot think (for reasons we have before given, and which it would be idle to give again) that the Bank have on this occasion so acted. They did not begin to raise the rate quite at the beginning of the drain ; they can doubtles show that the delay was not very long, but the matter is very delicate. We are, as we have shown in another article, endeavouring to carry on the trade of the country on the minimum of bullion which will suffice ; and if the Bank are but a little behind in their protective operations, the result may be very serious. It cannot be said that the Bank duly prepared for the close of the quarter. The reserve has just been reduced but the greater part of that at least every one expected. We have, ad neuron', spoken of it in thee' columns; and it was no credit tons—no peculiar discovery. 'twee matterof common knowledge. If Peel's act is to be worked, the Bank must keep so strong at the middle of a quarter that these calculable drain. at the end of a quarter shall not become catastrophes in its policy, shall not spasmodically affect the I value of money, shall not jerk the money market. As the foreign drain for bullion still continues, we think the Bank was right in raising the rate of discount. We own that we believe that if the Bank had 'tied earlier, 7 per cent. might have been sufficient, but as they did not WO sufficiently early, we cannot now blame them for acting quickly. As far as the internal demand for money goes, there is a small point requiring immediate attention. The National Provincial Bank of England have completed their great bank in Bishopegate.etreet, and 'mahout to begin banking business in London. As a consequence, they sacrifice their country circulation. That circulation is 442,3711., and it will have to be supplied by Bank of England notes. If that sum is taken from the Bank reserve of notes, it may at a time like this raise the rate of discount. Sir R. Peel provided against such a result by scatting th►t the Bank might, by arrange went with the government, issue two-thirds of the note issue of a retiring bank on securities. The Bank ought at once to apply to Mr. Gladstone for this power, otherwise this petty difficulty—this pea in the shoe—if we may hazard a phrase so colloquial—may produce serious results. As to the future, we have heard many good judges say that money will soon be dearer. But we are disposed— supposing this paltry difficulty of the National Provincial to be surmounted, and supposing no unlooked-for circum stance happens—to be more sanguine. The drain to India is now slight ; the silver market has been much affected by the rise to 8 per cent. ; and we are rather disposed to believe that no further rise will be needful. The drain for bullion is a dwindling drain, and we much hope that this rise in the rate will finish it. WEATHER REPORT.-{THIS DAY.) BATURDAT. JAXCAZT • • L*.

Madame Lemmens-Sberrington is said to be In treaty with the management of the Italian Opera at Madrid. Madlle. Nilsson, from the Tbeitre longue, will possibly visit England shortly. Ic is true, we are now told, that the Lanky of Herr Brach is to be performed at Her Majesty's Theatre daring the coming season ; the finale of that opera, completed by Mendelsohn, will be substituted for the one which the necessities of his position comoelled Herr Bruch to compose at a heavy disadvantage. Signor Verdi is writing a new opera for the Grand Opera. oa the subject of Sohiller's Don Carlos. Nicolsi's Il Ten. pain is in preparation at the Italian Opera in Paris. I Madame Calderon has been tried there, in Maria di Robes, without sawn ; but the part is, as they say in the theatres, , "an up-hill run." Madame Caillag is said to have coa tracted a brilliant eopgement at the Madrid Opera. M. Lena Daprez, son of the redoubtable tenor, is about to make his first appearance in Paris as a baritone. The new prokstaut music for the obsequies of the late Rion of the Belgians—siso that for the inauguration of his Homan catholic successor—was composed by M. Fedi. Signor Pinaniti, to the regret of all who have voices to be trained, appears to have excheoged the career of a professor for that of a composer. He is wintering at Florence, and busy, we are told, over an o'er*, the subject of which is taken from Shskepere. A translation of Beethoven's c•llected letters, including three recently denatured by Dr. van Knchel. by Lady Wallace, is announced. Signor Rovers, the buffo, who appeared at Covent-garden Theatre, but who may be best remembered by Lablache's description of him as "comique comma un termini," died the other day at • New York. —dthencrum.
