The necessary forms for the admission of children and every information may be had of the Secretary. the disease, affords some indication of the degree of favour in which the " stamping•out" process of slaughter is held in different counties. In Cheshire the proportion of animals killed to deaths from disease was 5 to 87 ; in Yorkshire, 8 to 77 ; in Cumberland (where the visitation is lately reported as spreading rapidly), 54 to 37 ; in Norfolk, 50 to 46 ; in Derby, 62 to 31 ; in Somerset, 61 to 39 ; and in Gloucester, 72 to 27. The proportions for the whole of England give 26 as killed, 65 deaths, and 9 recoveries ; iu Wales, 5 killed, 83 deaths, and 12 recoveries ; and in Scotland, 15 killed, 68 deaths, and 17 recoveries. It will be seen, then, that while the executions, so to speak, were little more than half as mauy in Scotland as in England, the recoveries on the other side of the Tweed nearly double our own. To what extent these variations are due to par ticular modes of treatment, either in the form of curative or of preventive measures which have been adopted by local authorities, we await evidence before we can judge, and we trust that the solution of the question may not be long in forth coming. Meatiihile, we commend the considers tion of the facts we have here set forth to the county magistrates a ho are now in frequent delibera tion, and upon the wisdom of whose measures such vast interests are depending.

INSTALLATION OF THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE AS PROVINCIAL GRAND MASTER or FREEMASONS or NOTTS.— The installation of the Duke of Newcastle as Provincial Grand Master of the Freemasons of Nottinghamshire took place yesterday at the Mechanics' Hall, Nottingham, at eleven o'clock. The noble duke was invested with the insignia of the order by the Rev. W. H. W. A. Bowyer. rector of Clapham, and Mr. E. J. fd'lntyre. of London, greed registrar. There was a good muster of the fraternity from the neighbouring counties. Amongst the visitors who arrived on Monday night were Lord A. P. Clinton, M.P., Lord and Lady de Tabley, Colonel Bowyer, &c. After the installation, the noble grand muter pre sided at a cold collation held at the School of Art, at which masons only were admitted. In the evening, the Duke of Newcastle and other chief officers of the craft patronised the sew theatre, a proloeue having been written for the occasion by Mr. Walter Montgomery. This even ing there is to be a grand masonic ball. LIBERAL DEMONSTRATION AT COVENTRT.—Last evening a tea meeting was held in the Corn Exchange, Co ventry, at which 8001adies and gentlemen sat down. After tea the table. were cleared, and the large ball was speedily thronged. A most enthusiastic meeting was held. The occasion of this vast concourse being thus brought together was the presentation to Mr. Mason Jones of a splendid gold watch, and to Mrs. Mason Jones of a beautiful silver tea service. The gifts were in recognition of the gallant way in which the honour able gentleman fought the liberal battle at the two recent parliamentary aectiona for the city. Nearly &MO people were present. _ _ . . . . — • - On Monday night the Lord Provost of Glasgow presided over • crowded and enthusiastic meeting which was held in the City-hall, Glasgow. with the view of furthering an onion between the three uneedowed presby terian denominations in Scotland. The leading speakers were Dr. Buchanan, Mr. Symington, and Dr. Cairns, of Bernick—representatives of the three bodies. They were careful to guard themselves against prejudicing individuals or usurping the prerogatives of the church courts; but their tone was one of great satisfaction with the delibera tions that have taken pleas and the conclusions that have been arrived at, and one of great hopefulness as to the issues that may be anticipated. It is expected that • Lad report by the joint-eommittees on the subject will be presented at the meetings of the lumina courts of the several bodies in May next; and it is easy to see that it will recommend a eealitio.

The annual general court of the governors of this estimable charity was held yesterday afternoon at the London Tavern; the Bight Ron. the Loan MAYOR in the chair. The meeting was numerously attended. The annual report, which was read by Mr. Mackenzie, the secretary, acknowledged the important recognition of the usefulness of this old-established chanty iu the increased means placed at their disposal through the munificent bequests of the late Mr. B. Thornton (2,0004), Miss Julia Brodie (3004.), Miss Turner (5000, and Misr Woodburn (2000 The health of the children at Slough continued satisfactory, as was their edscatimial progress. The Bishop ce Oxford had expressed his gratification at the system and general efficiency of the schools, which was also manifested by the fact that three of the boys had taken certdicates at the Oxford local examinations. Tweet'-nine pupils had been ad ' mated during the poet year. and 12 were to be elected that day. The report recognised the service 000ferredby the clergy both in lending their pulpits and preaching for the institu tion, and also took notice of the provincial support It had received at Cambridge and Reading. The report concluded by stating that '• the income daring the past year float annual subscriptions and from interest upon the small in vested capital still remain, very far below the unavoidable expenditure. The enhanced price of the necessaries of life and the unexpected and novel imposition of rates and taxes, make a serious inroad upon the fonds. The direstora would rejoice to see the large healthy building at Slough filled with the 60 additional pupils for whom there is room, but this they can only hope for at some distant period. For the present, the appeal is most earnest for greatly enlarged donations and annual subscriptions, to enable them to carry out the pleasing task entrusted to them, of training for future usefulness in this life, and, under the blessing of Almighty God, for happiness in the life to come, the desti tute orphans ender the sheltering roof of the Home at Slough.

THE MILITARY REVOLT IN SPAIN. MADRID, JAIL 8, MIDMIGHT., The Chamber of Deputies have unanimously resolved to present an address to the Queen, ex pressive of their loyalty to her Majesty's person. According to the latest official despatches, the insurgents under General Prim had arrived at Errda, in the mountains of Toledo, but it was not known what direction they purposed taking. It is considered that they will experience difficulty in escaping, as the columns under Generals Zavala, Echagne, and Concha are acting in concert, in order to surround the insurgents and cut off their retreat. General Prim is ill, and is compelled to:accom pany the insurgent columns in a carriage. The garrison of Avila, on entering Portugal, were disarmed by the authorities. Complete tranquillity prevails throughout PortugaL MADRID, JAN. 8. Tranquillity continues to prevail in this city. There are no public signs of sympathy with the pronunciamente on the part of the inhabitants. Fresh detachments of troops left yesterday in pursuit of the insurgents. It is asserted that the government has proposed that General Prim should be degraded from his rank in the army, and that the Queen has signed a decree to that effect. PERPIGNAN, JAN. 9. Letters dated Baroelona, the 7th, evening, have been received here, announcing that large crowds had assembled in the streets of that town, but had been dispnrsed by the military. Considerable ex citement prevailed. POLAND. ST. PETERSBURG, J. 9. The Deutsche Petersburger Zeitung of to-day says : —" We learn on good authority that an improve ment will shortly be made iu the position tf the Roman catholic secular clergy in Poland, the incomes of the lower orders being increased, while those of the higher grades will be diminished. The government will administer, for the benefit of the clergy, the benefices and the revenues of the religions foundations, a control being exer cised by the committee of the sinking fund and by ecclesiastical delegates. Compulsory payment of tithes will be abolished. The total amount of expenditure for the administration of ecclesiastical affairs in Poland is fixed at 900,000 roubles per annum." OUR TRADE WITH THE UNITED STATES. [The following appears in this Daily Naas .] TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS. Sts,—The commercial community of Liverpool have been somewhat astonished by the articles in the London Times of yesterday and to-day in refer ence to our trade with America. The Times in dulges in prognostications of a coming crisis, owing to the large shipments to America of goods fur which, as the writer by implication asserts, the Ame ricans cannot pay ; and to give plausibility to his version of the state of the account, he entirely ignores the large shipments of cotton from the United States to Great Britain. In yesterday's Times I fiud the following "The Cunard steamer this week has again brought no specie. Yet it is known that the shipments of goods to America during the past as well as the preceding months were on a scale larger than has been witnessed for many years, while the receipts of produce thence have still been singularly small." Now there can he no question that the shipments of goods to America the past few mouths have been very large indeed, but it is also equally true that never at any other period were the Americans less indebted to this country for such goods ; for upon due inquiry from most of our principal firms connected with the United States, I find the same answer ; " all our orders, ex tensive as they have been, have been remitted for by sterling bills when sending the order." From what source of information, therefore, ices the Times derive its idea of rash and extravagant credits to the Americans 1 The Times is equally at sea as regards the shipments of • produce from the United States to this country. It takes great pains to show that, while we have been supplying them with vast quantities of goods, which the exhausted stocks in the Southern States absolutely necessitated their taking, they in return have been sending us but small supplies of produce, and that even (shipments of gold to this country have entirely ceased. Your contemporary entirely omits from its calculations the shipments of cotton made during the past three months from America to this country, which have been so large, that at the present prices current they are estimated at fully thirteen million pounds sterling—a sufficient sum to exhaust the Bank of England, if it had to be all paid for in gold. Perhaps the Times writer will, after placingltbis 13,000,0001. to the credit of the American nation, begin to think that, as the whole estimated value of our shipments to the United States for the first eleven months of 1865 was not more than about 10,000,0001., the American people cannot, after all, be owing us so very much, and as it is also estimated that st present prices for cotton they will be able to spare us at least 18,000,0001. worth more of cotton during this year, 1 think the feeling of panic which the Times is endeavouring to produce is quite unwarranted by the true position of affairs. The Times speaks most deprecatingly as to the danger of the public iu Europe investing in the United States 5.20 Bonds. Those who remember the warnio gs w hich the same paper bestowed upon the Germans, when they were largely investing in them at 38 to 40, and reflect that English buyers have since been glad to purchase from them at 68, know how to appreciate the warnings of the Tinus on financial questions. How the Times can perceive a coming rise in America in the rate of exchange of 10, 20, or 30 per cent., with recent and prospective shipments of cotton from thence of the value of 30,000,0001. sterling, I am quite at a loss to conceive. Throughout these and former articles in the Times, there has been manifested a bitterness of feeling towards the American people and nation which is much to be deprecated. The flippant manner in which it insults • kindred nation, with whom our business connexions are of such gigantic proportions, by insinuating that they will repudiate their responsibilities, is iu my opinion unworthy of such a journal, and entitles it to the condemnation of all thoughtful honourable men.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. THE MILITARY REVOLT IN SPAIN. (►aoo oun owl PARIS, TIMMS EVZIII3IO. The Moniteur dr &is says that, according to telegraphic news, Prim was at Urda on January & General &cheque had been despatched from Madrid at the head of a fresh column towards the Sierra of Toledo. General Concha and the Mar quis de Duero had received reinforcements from Manzanerbs. According to local information Prim was compelled by the state of his health to follow his`troops in a carriage. Being closely pressed by three pursuing columns, those of Zavala, Concha, and Ecbaque, it was expected that he would shortly be surrounded in the mountains of Toledo. This I may observe is rather a modest expectation after the reports from the same quarter four days older, which represented Prim as in a desperate condition. It will be remembered that in 1854, when O'Donnell " pronounced," the troops sent in pursuit threw up their caps and joined his standard when they got near him. A similar phenomenon is greatly apprehended now. Jet' despatch states that forty men of the Avila .insurgents—a corps totally distinct from that marching under Prim, although the telegraph yesterday confounded them— had surrendered to Spanish Carbineers, and been sent prisoners to Valladolid. The rest hav ing crossed into Portugal had been disarmed by the Portuguese authorities, and were cantoned under surveillance. Of course it is impossible to attach implicit credence to these despatches. A French journal has taken the trouble to publish the despatches from Madrid repeated by the Mani tent and other French journals in 1854, when O'Donnell, now the " defender of order," was a rebel, and doing precisely what Prim is doing now. Those despatches were almost word for word the same as those which O'Donnell is now sending from Madrid. Then it was affirmed for a fortnight together that O'Don nell was wandering about in distress, that his miserable followers were falling off from him every day, that he found no sympathy among the popu lations, that Madrid was never more tranquil, and that the Queen was confident in the loyalty and affection of her subjects. A little while after O'Donnell entered Madrid as a master, and com pelled the helpless Queen to submit to his terms. The Pays of this evening is of opinion that the latest news from Spain coutioues to have the " same character of uncertainty." Some " demon strations" have been made at Barcelona, but the authorities " not considering them important " did not interfere with them. One letter says that Prim was marching and countermarching with the object of tiring out the troops sent out against him and gaining time. It was expected that be would shortly issue a mani festo. At Tarancou, a town near Toledo, about 40 kilometres from Ocagua, where Prim appeared on Jan. 5 at the bead of about 1,200 men, he sent for the Alcsde, and obtained from Lim 1,500 rations, assuring him at the same time that the whole country was about to rise, and that he would shortly march upon Madrid at the head of a large army, and overthrow the government of the " oppressor," O'Donnell. He asked to see the curd, but the latter refused to come. The priests, though angry with O'Donnell for having recognised Italy, are not favourable to Prim, because they know that if he succeeds priestly domination will be overthrown altogether, and Spain will no longer enjoy the bad pm-eminence of being the most intolerant country in the civilised world. The Bourse has lost the rise of yesterday under the influence of the fall in Console. Rente fell 11c. for cash, and 15c. for account, closing at 681 r. 320. and 68fr. 40c. Mobilier fell llfr. 25c.

Some years ago the newspapers &spoon ed. it will be remembered, the morganatic marriage of Victor Emmanuel with the Comities Millefiori. This news was not contradicted. The Countess Mille foci leaves two children—a son and daughter. They have received the titles of count and countess. No one in Italy is ignorant of the influence exercised by the Countess Mrllefiori over the mind of the Kiog. People agree, how ever, in saying that she was very charitable, and often gave the King better advice than his ministers. She bad for a bog time hesitated to go to Tuscany ; she, however, decided to do so, and a splendid reradenoe was being pre pared for her. She died aged 42, of a cancerous tumour. It arse for the purpose of being present at her deathbed that Victor Emmanuel left on Sunday, in the height of the ministerial crisis, for Mandria. The countess wee the daughter of a drum-major, who became an officer in the corps of the King's Guards." THE HOCSELYES POOR AM—The house com mittee of the vestry of St. Paean presented a report to the guardians on this subject, in which they stated that they had had an estimate prepared of the pro able expense of erecting a separate building for wayfarers, but they were not prepared to recommeed the board to incur the estimated expanse to meet what might prove a temporary emergency. All wayfarers who had as yet applied, had been accommodated. The average number of applications per night since the 7th November hat had been 17 men, Mx women, and three children. The com -1 mittee recommended that before the board provided in- creased accommodation the labour test should be applied,and that a abed for male wayfarers to work in should be provided at a 005 a not exceeding 1001. That ablsbodied men should be required to break two bushels of stows, but that men sot physically capable of performing that task should pick two pounds of oakum. That able-bodied women should be required to pick one and a half pound of oakum, but if not able-bodied, one pound of oakum, and that children over 12 years of age be required to pick one pond of oakum. The report was left in abeyance in estimation of a recom mendation from the Poor-law Board of a uniform system. THE WAPPINO TUNNEL ACCIDENT AT LIVERPOOL. —Yesterday, at the adjourned inquiry into the fatal sad. • dent from the falling of an arch at the Wapping tunnel (Liverpool), scientific and practical evideoee was given to ' the effect that the usual mode of testing iron-girders was by striking them with a hammer. and that this was doomed superior to a test by weight. Bat whatever test was plied it was stated that a flaw might still exist in the iron without being detected. In the present cue the girder had been tested by the hammer and not by weight. The result of the investigation was that both the railway company (London and North Western) and the oontraaces• ialltrzret.oTtioni the arlil w o reg is tosera ry tad from all Prsstcs, and a blaze' in r verdict e lation death" was returned. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. The Return published by the Veterinary De partment of the Privy Council, for the week ending December 30th, gives an account of the loss of stock by the disease, from its commencement in June to the end of the year 1865, as reported by the local Inspectors ; and although there may be a certain number of " back cases" which will not appear until the next return is issued, yet for all practical purposes we can deal with the figures as they stand. In England 48,964 animals were attacked during the whole period, and of them 11,142 were killed as a preventive measure, 27,177 absolutely died of the disease, 3,655 recovered from the attack, and 6,990 diseased animals were remaining on Decem ber 30th, whose fate will be recorded in subsequent returns. In Wales the disease was confined to the two counties of Denbigh and Flint, and the total num bers attacked were 2,287 ; of these 93 were killed, 1,565 died. 218 recovered, and 411 remained under observation. In Scotland 22,298 animals were attacked ; 2,696 of these were killed, 12,749 died, 3,172 recovered, and 3,581 cases were undetermined. Is Great Britain, therefore, the aggregate num bers stand thus:—Attacked, 73,549—ki11ed, 13,931; died, 41,491; recovered, 7,045 ; and 11,082 (or 15 per cent. of the attacks) are brought forward into the account for 1866. Ireland is happily at present, or was at date of last report, free from the visitation. We have given the exact official figures for the three divisions of Great Britain separately, because, as we shall presently show, there is great diversity in the proportions under the three categories of " killed,' "died," and "recovered" in different parts of the country. To get at the exact measure of this diversity, the numbers must first be reduced to a uniform basis, and to this end it is necessary to eliminate as a disturbing element all the cases "remaining," the proportions of which vary in almost every county, from 6 per cent, of the attacks in Berkshire, to 16 per cent. in Lincolnshire, and to 27 per cent. in Cheshire. On this point we venture to suggest that the per centages given in the weekly return of the Veterinary Department should iu future be modified so as to show the ratio to terminated cases, and not as now to the gross number at tacked : the per ceutage " remaining " should of course be given, but as the result of a distinct cal culation. We can quite imagine that, under the pressure consequent upon the compilation of a re turn, the facts of which have to be gathered every week from the Inspectors all over the country, this point may have escaped attention, but of its im portance we have, almost daily, abundant proof. For instance, DO less an authority than the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, experienced as he is in figures, has stated in a letter which appeared iu the Times of Monday last, that in the county of Chester the deaths in the week ending Dec. 16th were 371 per cent. of the cases ; but he omits all mention of the "remaining," which were for that week 57 per cent. of the cases. Mr. Gladstone's calculation shows nothing whatever ; at least, it is utterly delusive as an indication of the real death rate, which was actually 88 per cent. (including those killed, 92 per cent.) of the Gases which ter minated in that week, barely 8 per cent. re covering. The subjoined table, deduced directly from the official return, gives a comparative view of the relative rates of recovery and of death in the counties of England and in the whole of Wales and Scotland, precedence being given to each county in the order of its recovery rate : Total number of cues Mace the of 100 eases COMOISOMMOUt of disease of the 4haemie to fn col. 1 COVITIZe, &c.

GREAT BRITAIN This table deserves to be carefully studied, inas much as upon the face of it very considerable difference would seem to exist as to the mode in which the disease is dealt with in various counties. It is not, however, for us to explain these apparent anomalies ; we can only point some of them out, and must leave them to be accounted for by those who have accurate local knowledge and informa tion. The counties of Worcester and Berke stand highest on the list of recoveries, whilst in Dorset, Leicester, Rutland, and Somerset the per centage is nil—none have recovered ; but the facts in these latter instances are few, and should the disease make progress in these counties they may profit by the experience now accumulating, so as to adopt successful curative measures. In Wiltshire, which has hitherto escaped very lightly, 17 per cent. have recovered ; in Durham, 16 ; in Lancashire, Warwickshire, and Yorkshire, 15 ; in the extra metropolitan parts of Surrey and Kent, 9 and 6 per cent. respectively ; whilst within the limits of the metropolitan police district only 4 per cent re covered, which may be, in some measure, due to the want of sufficient means of isolation, &c., so easily obtainable on large farmsteads in the country.
