THE CATTLE PLAGUE. The Earl of WINCHILSEA asked whether her Majesty's ministers were prepared to reocanneed to parliament that an indemnity should be granted out of the public purse to all such peruse as have bees compelled to slaughter any beast or beasts (nos offered for sale in say public, market, is.), by order of an isapector appointed by or under the authority claimed tabyined the Lords of bee Majesty's Pricy &anon to be con in the sot of 1848, 0. 107 ; sad whether that set still con ti nued in kroll. The noble earl complained that wider that sot the Privy Commit had ordered the deatructioa of cattle which bad not bees exposed for sale at all, an order which wu sot justified by the sot, consequently such destruction was illegal, sad the owners of oaths so slaughtered had a weird claim for coropensatioa. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in reference to the last question put by Lord Wischilssa, said a liberal, inter pretation had been put two' the sot which authorised the Privy Council to make or&re, and if they hid is any way overstepped the strict letter of the law, the injury done was slight, sad could be remedied by granting compensation to the owners. Lord DERBY thought the council had exceeded its powers, and the owners of cattle that had been slaughtered ly order of the inspectors were legally and equitably entitled to full compensation. Referring to the bills intro. dead the previous evening in the other house, Lord Derby urged the necessity for immediate action, and recommended, =teed of proceeding with those bills, that resolutions should be mmultaneouly introduced into both houses to deal with the emergency. Lord GREY objected to proceeding by resolutions, and osggested that an agreement should be come to as to the principles to be adopted, and that a bill embodying those principles should be puled as rapidly as the forms of par lament would allow. Earl RUSSELL—It must be understood that if the bouts have been al.ughtered without sufficient authority ty the inspectors there would be a legal remedy against dism,, and that the government would of course not allow them to suffer. As to the suggestion of the noble earl to by resolutions, and thereby empower the Privy to issue orders, h• agreed with the noble earl os the cross bench (Earl Grey) that it would be a dangerous ing, for there would arise the same question as to C e authority of these rseolutiocs, because it would be int pueblo that they should provide for everything so alautely se an act of parliament would. It would be much later to swept the other suggestion, that those clause which were the most urgently required should be passed through the bonus in the ordinary way eery quickly. He hoped that all these measures would be passed without any delay. (Hear.) adjourned at 20 minutes to 7 o'clock. Their lou HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUNIDAY, Fr s. 13.

GREY said the bill he was about to submit bad been the subject of considerable discussion last session, and therefore be did not propose to speak upon it at any length. He would, however, briefly state its objects. There were two oaths now taken by members of that house, one by protestants sod the other by Romeo catholic+. The former was framed in 1858, and was a consolidation of the oaths of allegiance, abjuration, and supremacy. With regard to that portion of the oath which promised allegiance to the Sovereign, every member of that house would admit that that was a proper oath to be taken. With regard to that part of the oath abjuring the Pretender, they wonld all ogres that the time had come when it might be die permed with. (Hear, bear.) With respect to the negative part of the oath relating to supremacy, and declaring that no foreign prime or potentate bad anthori , y or jurisdiction in this countzy, it appeared 'to him that that was useless. The Boman catholic oath contained, like the protestant oath, the oath of &Roemee and the oath of abjuration, and the latter might be dispensed with as well in this case as in the other. They ovght not to place their catholic fellow sub jects on a footing which was not equal to that on which ' they themselves stood. There were other parts of the oath relating to the established church, and be should repeat that they afforded no security to the protestant °buret. With regard to those members of the house who were of the :swish persuasion, he thought the time bad arrived when they also should be placed on an equality with the other members. The bill he proposed to lay on the table was a short one, by which it was intended to repeal the present oaths and to provide that the oath to be tam by members should be is these words :—" I A. R. do swear that I will faithfully boar true allegiance to her Majesty Queen Victoria, and defend her to the utmost of my power against all con spiracies whatever wbieb may be made against her power, crown, or digaity."tear, beer.)

We are glad to find that two crews—although in the rough—equalliog those of lost year, are about to com mence active training for this great aquatic contest; sod we are also glad to see that one of the beat of Cambridge oars men, Mr. D. F. Steavenson, Trinity Hall, has, to the great grstalleatioe of all Cambridge supporters, taking his lent year's seat—No. 6—where he will doubtless continue up to the day of the race. From Oxford the scoonats of the crew ars moat satisfactory. Invite of the raw weather and hea viness of the stream the men are all well, and under the care of Mr. C. R. Carr, Wadham, sad Mr. G. Morrison, two of last year's crew, they improve vastly, giving the greatest amount of metafiction to their fellow collegians and the Oxford public who witness their daily trips. The alter nately stroke oat is taken by Messrs. Brown and Senhottse, and both will probably row on the day. The crew by latest &dykes were: R. T. Rakes, Merton. F. Crowder, Brain ooee. G. H. Morrell, Exeter. F. Willair, Exeter. W. L Freeman, Merton. W. W. Wood, Untveratty. E. F. Henley, Oriel. M. Brown, Trinity. They will almost immediately go into active training, and should any train off or go amiss, there are plenty of good men to put in their places. From Cambridge the news is good. Mr. Kinglake's task is by no means a thankful one. He has lost the services of four or five tried men through private or perchance parental reasons, and is therefore confined to selection from a limited number. Mr. Scam:mon has joined him, and when one of the men retires for Mr. Kinglake shortly them will be five of the old crew in the boat. They Dave a splendid eight, newly built by M. Taylor, of Newcastle, and will shortly use her. The wind is very high, and the labour home excessive, but the men are cheerful, and promise to be a very fine crew. The following are the names of the crew that rowed from Searle's to Saitabite and back on Monday, and there will probably be but one other change: T. F. Jr.-wood, Trinity Hall. D. F.

The addition to the receipts admits of a dividend at the rata of 7e ea against 7 per cent. per annum in February last year. The Central 'Wales line from Knighton to Llandrin dod, &distance of 191 miles, was opeoed for public traffic on theist of December last, and is being worked under an agreement for which parliamentary powers and the sanction of the shareholders have already bee. obi slued. This directors regret to report that the bills introduced this session of parliament affecting the compeer) are as nomerona as in any previous year. They have been considered by the board, sad their progress in committee will be carefully watched. Against some of them it will be needful to peti tion ; but, where practicable, the directors will endeavour to protect the company's interests by friendly arrangement rather than by perliementery contest. The Ulla promoted by the oomp..ly ars not of an extensive character, mid do not involve the construction of lines in new districts, but only of such abort branches and enlargement of existing statiorta and works as the rapidly iscresaing traffic and the requirements of the public imperatively demand. The bills contain the necessary parliamentary powers for au thorising additional capital to be raised for these new works. In announcing to the proprietors the resignation of Mr. Charles E. Stewart, the directors desire to express their sense of his able and honourable services for the nineteen years during which he held the office of secretary.
