'BESS, THURSDAY EV6TING, NOVEMBER 30, 1865. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. veterinary profession and the cattle trade, when Mr. liousun brought forwardhismeasurea options subjects. The indolence of the public was probably the cause of the indifference of the House. Now there is not only a new House, but a very strong feeling abroad about the sufficiency and the qua- • lity of the veterinary profession. We have seen good deal lately of the way in which the cattle doctors are r egarded b the farmers and graziers of the country, as ard well as of the helplessness , the discord, the utter break-down under trial of the profession itself. Nobody could be surprised at this who was aware how very small is the number of qualified practitioners in proportion to the live stock of the country, and how very large is the number of cattle doctors who practise without quali fication. If we had had the benefit of agricultural s t a ti s tics for some years put., so that the number of cattle, sheep, and horses in the kingdom had been known, the veterinary profession would undoubtedly have been leas understocked than it is. It is • good profeasior —scientific, honourable, useful, and sure, thett!lre, to be profitable whenever it has fair play. But it can have no fair play while ignorant peasants go about calling themselves cattle-doct4: - talking of " the worm i' the tail getting right up' "into the head, and making the teeth loose." Wherever we go, in the rural districts of every county, we hear of that " worm " and its won derful doings, and see monstrous bleeding, and witness monstrous physicking, so that we cannot wonder that, on the first appearance of the present or any other epidemic, the farmers prefer slaughter ing their beasts for sale to sending for the nearest doctor. Two years ago the number of veterinary prac titioners holding diplomas was only 1,018 for the United Kingdom. When we think of the known numbers of stock in Scotland and Ireland, and the conjectural amount of that kind of property in England and Wales, we shall be amazed that so desirable a profession should be so nearly vacant. We are told that there are coun ties where no qualified practitioners can be reached without delay which renders their services useless. At the same time, there were 1,244 spontaneous cattle-doctors, offering to treat sick beasts without having anything to show for their pretension. Besides these two classes, there were 1,109 farriers. Mr. HOLLAND related these facts at the Socirl S c i enc e meeting at Edinburgh two years ago and he described the measures which be afterwards brought forward unsuccessfully in the House. One of the objects is to stop the quackery which at once interferes with and discredits the profession ; and to this end it is proposed to provide for the convic tion and punishment of all persons who shall attempt to practise as veterinary surgeons without the pro per qualification. The need of a great increase in the number of practitioners was urgent when Mr. HOLLAND first proposed his measures. We need not attempt to describe what it is now. And the work is growing upon their hands—not only by the increase of stock and the extension of the business of grazing and feeding, but because we want to 1 establish a system of effectual inspection, and l l could not do it for want of • fit class of men for iinspectors, if Parliament were ever so favourable to the plan. Mr. liori.allo would have • sound system of medical statistics for domestic animals established, to be worked by duly qualified vete rinary surgeons. He would have an inspector general of live stock traffic throughout the king dom, and inspectors of towns, and of fairs and markets, in communication with the head of the organization. The chief of the department should 1 report annually to the Privy Council on the diseases of stock ; should watch and investigate any disease prevalent in foreign countries, and any outbreak of such mischief at home. If such a safeguard could be provided the next generation of farmers would be wiser, happier, and more prosperous than the present. The most sensible of them now can only do the best they know of for their cattle, and insure their lives or bear their losses—feeling that the mortality is beyond all reason, and most perplexing and discou raging. When quacks disappear from the scene, and educated physicians present them selves everywhere within reach, and there is • proper guardianship of the safety of cattle, the business and the fortunes of stock-owners will take a new start. The interests of the public are no leas involved, as we know by what we daily hear of the bad milk and the dimmed meat sup plied to the market under the overwhelming temp , Cations of the time. In the absence of knowledge, of direction, and of trustworthy medical aid, the owners of cattle are sorely tried ; and it can be no wonder that some of them try, in their isola tion and perplexity, to rescue something out of the llama and the dangers to which they are exposed. If, on a sure basis of agricultural statistics, • due provision of sound medical treatment should be supplied, and • perreinent safeguard against avoid able epidemics be established as a national institu tion, we shall have got some good out of the Cattle Plague. The thing cannot be done in a day ; but it may be begun as soon as Parliament meets. It will take years to develop the requisite medical science, and to fill the veterinary profession, and to overcome the prejudices of the agricultural class against it; but the foundation may be laid at once, and we trust it is a question, not of years, but only (THIS DAY.) lIIZ JAMAICA .....---__ The Times holds that the positive announcement by Governor Eyre to the Jamaica legislature supplies the highest authority for the statement that there was a con spiracy among the negroes with no lees an object than the murder and despoiling of the white people, and them of the coloured who sided with them. Are we to believe that amen in his senses would in this formal manner utter stigma of absurdities, or make statements which any one of the many present could contradict? Moreover, we find that the legislature was entirely In accord with the governor ; his address was praised in the highest terms by several member, and Mr. Westmoreland, a member of the execu tive committee, at once introduced a bill to carry out the principal of its recommendations. With regard to the proposed amendment of the constitution the Times can only regret that it should be necessary, and hopes that the day will soon return when the negro population may be intrusted with free institutions, and may meet and ' speak and vote without danger t o anybody. But for their sake, as well as that of the whit's, it is the duty of the I I home government to support to the utmost the autho rities in the island, and for the benefit of all the govern ment should be administered for a time with a strong hand. In the opinion of the ly News, the fresh intelligence bust intensify the an: with which the acts of the aushorities have been . As to a plot by which the mass.ore of the allegegir has been said to be justified, ever thing still stands on th footing of rumour, of hearsay stir:epee. Coosideriug the constant sitting of courts. martial, the surrender of so 'many voluntary prisoners, the fa srving by the lash on every side, and the final admission ths• oresn in vv. an fay secured that an amnesty hiss beau issued, it is certainly incredible that, if overwhelming evi dence of such a conspiracy exists, it should not have oozed out. The speech of Mr. Gordon, which has been given as the most conclusive evidence of his guilt, is a document which at last displays the feeling of loyalty. The evidence of the punishment of the alleged conspiracy, however, is plentiful enough. "It may not altogether be uninteresting to your readers," writes a careful editor of a Jamaica paper, " to know that slightly over 1,050 rebels have been hanged and shot in the parish of St. Thomas up to date.' These, however, are only the executions in the form of martial law. Of how many ware shot down in the bush, or slain on the ashes of their homes, no account eau ever be given, and then when there was not ground for either shooting or hanging prisoners, the cat I/41 always available. The Jamaica Standard tells 111 Hogging is going on from morning to night. Many women and children detected as robbers are fitted and let go daily. The greater criminals are sent on to Morant Bay to be hanged or shot. Details are furnished of the jest" of the salon on the sufferings of the miserable wretches on whom they are performing this hideous office. Nay, with the last refine ment of cruelty the lash is applied before trial, to those who are set apart for trial, and who are afterwards shot '. After giving instances, the Daily News proceeds to remark that if but • thousandth part of such tales as form the staple of the Jamaica newepepess—and which are narrated with heartiest applause—are true, hell itself has broke loose in that wretched island. But the demons are not the blacks ; they are the white men who, for week after week, have been holding their feast of blood, end gloating and jest ing over the tortures they inflict ere they mercifully slay. If we would not have all civilisation rue toe:sante our name, this awful bushier should be stopped. In the feet alone 1 that further persons of respectability have been captured 1 by civil warrant and transported to a place where they are 0 to be tried by a military tribunal, enough is found to make 1 I it the duty of government instantly to supersede Governor Eyre. The Herald explains the cry which has been raised against Governor Eyre by " stump orators and pulpit thumpers," baptists, methodists, quaked*, and the Anti. Slavery Society, by stating the theory that these persons feel they are put upon t heir tried b y him, and that only by silencing and disgracing him can they escape decisive condemnation. The Herald has not the confidence in Earl Russell which it would have had in Lord Palmerston. The explanations which the noble earl ha s already asked for are tantaniowit almost to condemnation, but it will be a scandalous injustice if the government, to conciliate a small but noisy party, sacrifices the governor. A careful examination of the West Indian newspapers baa convinced the Telegraph that it would even yet be premature to form a decided opinion upon the affairs of Jamaica. The papers leave us still with sooty informa tion on exactly those points which have provoked most controversy. On the evidence as it stand; it wee most unjust to visit Mr. Underhill with violent °ensure. We must wait for the Gazelle before we can express an au thoritative opinion on the case of Gordon. At present our feeling is one of extreme regret that he was ever removed from Kingston. His trial should have been more public and more deliberate. Nevertheless, though admitting that there is ample reason to desire f ur ther inquiry, and that in many individual instances there may f undou d btedly he be at rOOlll for imm ure, the Telegraph orwar to t gre arise of history without much fear of an adverse verdict. The Star observes that the speech of Governor Eyre will be read in vain for any explanation of that most extraordi nary set of political homicide, the execution of Mr. Gordon. Indeed, the speech adds no gleam of light to that which his despatch threw upon the nature and extent of the alleged rebellion. As to Gordon's speech which has been printed as the chief part of the evidence against him, there yet was a parish vestry agitation in England in which appeals far more vehement and angry were not freely circu lated. Besides, it positively wail published some time in last July, while the MYS 11014) at Monist Bay did not take piece until the seoond week in October. To the last he protested hie innocence. As to the atrocities presented in the Jamaica papers, it is difficult to write with calmue is of the terrible events they portray, notwithstanding that, the opposition papers having been suppressed, and their editors sad correspondents either held in the power of the provost marshal or hunted on the mountains by the Maroons, we only receive our information from the columns of the prints in the inbred of the officials. THE Cattle Plague will have done us some ser vice amidst our losses if it carries through Par liament two or three measures, much needed, and s trongly urged by the movers, but quashed by the indifference of the House, or by the politic oppo sition of the representatives of rural prejudice. Many a farmer in the districts ravaged by the disease, and many a landowner whose interests depend on the prosperity of the tenantry of the country, may now mourn over the mistake, so often repeated, of preventing the institution of a sound system of Agricultural Statistics. We see and feel on every hand the damage and perplexity caused by the utter ignorance of the whole country and its Government in regard to the' , amount of our property in live stock. We saw last week the strong representation ad dressed to Government on the advantage possessed by continental States in their systems of agricul tural statistics, by which each country knows at this moment precisely, not only how much stock itthas lost by the disease, but what proportion the loss bears to the wealth which remains, while in England everybody is in the dark on those points, and great hindrance is opposed to preventive and remedial measures by the absence of knowledge and of concert in regard to the whole subject of our live stock. The response of the Government was as hearty as could be desired. That it would be so was clear beforehand to all who had observed the alacrity with which the Foreign-office acceded to the request of Mr. FISHER, of Waterford, some months since, that our legations on the Continent i might be instructed to supply the statistics of agriculture, as well as of commerce, in the countries, in which they are residing. Among the queries sent to the Secretaries of Legation is one relating to f 1 the number of domestic solinals ;" and the result will be that we shall know all about the cattle, sheep, pigs, and horsed of every country in Europe, while we are in blank ignorance about our own. The fault rests with the farmers almost entirely, for the great landowners are, generally speaking, ready, and even eager, for the extension to agriculture of a method which has long been an inestimable benefit to commerce. Once more, for the fiftieth time, it is explained to the farmers that no disclosure of their private affairs will be made. All that is wanted is a report frOm each district of the country of the acreage occupied by each description of crop, the estimated produce of such crop, and the number of each class of domestic animals. We shall hear no more, surely, of any apprehension in the dullest corner of the country of new taxes on land or produce as the real reason for the proposed stock-taking. That groundless fear must have died out by this time. The expense will hardly be objected to, now that we are all feeling that the small cost would THE =nail Thum have been well worth while to save us from our The Times advises those of i t readers who may wish to present ignorance and uncertainty ; and there re- follow the proosedinp of the special communion at Dahlia mains only the old difficulty made by the farmers to avail themselves of the guidance of Mr. .1 ustioe Keogh's about anybody asking them what they grow in " luminous and dignified' 'Adams to the grand jury. their fields, and how many beasts they have in Fenianiam, though less respectable than the "Iris Con their yards and pastures.

" !Some of our contemporaries appear to infer," says the ' Star, " from the nature of Earl Ruseell's reply to the Bradford deputation, as summarised in the papers, that the government intends to postpone the question of reform.

The Post infers, end with satisfactioe, from the reply alluded to above, that further inquiry is to precede the in troduction of a reform bill. The whole subject is adjourned, for a commission of inquity will occupy a considerable time. The Telegraph believes that the government is already I engaged in collecting the information it requires. If, how ever, the Investigation cannot be properly completed without special maeldeery, it is probable that a commission or com mittee of inquiry will be appointed, with adequate autho rity to take the requisite evidence, and report it at a period of the year sufficiently early for the elaboration and intro duction of the new measure.

Senor Castro, Min ister for Foreign Affairs, has I addressed a note dated 23rd instant to the Span ish I Ambassador at Paris , r e p l y in g to the arguments brought forward by the Chilian Minister in the French capital in support of the noun's adopted by Chili towards Spain. Aft er recapitulating the grievances of the Spanish government against the republic, the minister says : Th e argument sought to be used spinet Admiral Pare* and consequently against her Majesty's government, that the admiral did not negotiate awarding to the terms el his full powers, hu not t he slightest foundation. Full power never contain the instructions which a government gives to its agent for the settlement of any matter. They are the cre dentials serving to atte st his character and secure him attention from the government to which be is sent. But they never mention the instructions by which his conduct is i to be regulated, and which it is not customary to make public. cons i s t of nothing The full powers sent to Admiral Pareja but adornment drawn up in the same form as all of form its c hin, authorising hint to neg otiate, but not stating the of those negotiation nor the time ur occasion for praier eating them. These full powers enabled him to commence negotiations and &patch his note of the 17th September. They will, perhaps, serve him still farther, when, having ob tained the reparation to which we ere entitled, peace may be concluded and an arrangement made. The full powers, in fact, were necessary from every point of They view. specify ell the general oases upon which a plenipotentiary should be authorimed, bat they should not be confounded with the instruction' given by the govervinent to their agents in certain and determined eiramstances like the present, nor even in the ordinary mess of • permanent friendly mission. Into this strange and lamenteble error, however, the individuals composing the reeideet diplomatic th eir o Santiago have fallen. Instead of simply using their good offices, they Mamas& themselves to Admiral Parole to intimate or point out what wan prescribed to him by his powers, interpreting them erroneously , ae if they were his instructions, whereof the admiral "lone could be the judge, and similarly when they mbar questly again addressed the Spanish plenipotentiary, it was not to offer their mediation or good Odom, bat to enter upon the %Petite of the question, judg:ng and quali fying it in a manner that a pp eared partial and favourable to Chili and repeating the protest they had elmody roads. Far be it from me to censure the oondnct of the diplomatic corps resident in Chili, yet I cannot but believe that, dou not bt lessly with the beet intention', they adopted • course the beet calculated to attain the laudable end they had in view. Entirely setting aside the terms of the communica tions addressed to Admire' Pamir, end taking it for granted that their object was to offer medlittion or good offices, it cannot be ignored that the diplomatic corps a llowed the favourable opportunity to escape them by sending their first communication on the 22nd, that is to say, twenty-four boureleiter Admiral Persia received the reply of Senor Covarrubies, finally and peremptorily refusing any sort of explanation. And still later, on the 24th instant, when the blockade had already been declared, metals of proffering their good offices and negotiating with the Chillan govern ment, they were almost exclusively occupied in analyzing the notes exchanged between the admiral sad Senor Covarrnbisa, in a manner that, as I have already said, appears partial and favourable to Chili, but which did not, at least, conduce to the noble object by which they Us Court.

The Times is brought by the circular of the Sparkish Weider, unwillingly to the oastelusion that we must de peed upon other influences than the desire of the Spanish ministry for the raising of the blockade of Chili. England has *ever professed a naked doctrine of non-intervention. It is the province of the statesman, by a comparison of the offencecommittedand the amount of suffering which mustbe in dicted upon the world by intervention, to determine when to interfere and when to abstain, and never were acts of hostility based on pretexts more futile than those now advanced by Spain against the Chilian government. It depends upon the firmness of foreign governments, and especially of our own, whether the blockade of Valparaiso 'hall be withdrawn, or whether it shall be followed up by • bombardment of the town and war to the lark extremity. The loss of the Bulldog, and the cirevmstances under which it occurred, are described by the Times se forming • pretty predicament, very characteristic of British history. Our naval forces have been engaged, and we sepia to have won a battle and silenced every antagonist: but we have lost a man-of-war, and her captain and mew are dependent on foreign hospitality. We may possibly have asserted our national honour, and accomplished something advanthgeous at the ooet of • six - gun sl oo p ; or we may possibly have entangled ourselves in an after which was none of oars, and which will bring us no p r ofit. Let us hope, not only for more explanation, but for more satisfactory tidings. In the late discussions upon university extension, the compromising good good sense of the head-master of Rugby has, in the opinion of the Daily Nom advanced the question a final step. If it be objected that the admission of this multitude of poor students unattached will revolutionise and subvert the whole order and custom of college life, secularism the great seminaries of the church, and democra tise the most venerable and oosservativs institutions in the state, there remiss the question—ls it university exten sion or university limitation that we are discussing! The Herald contends that the owners of the cattle which it has been found necessary on public grounds to slaughter are entitled to compensation out of the public funds. It proposes that the owners should make oath to the fairness of their claims, thus layiog themselves open to prosecutions for perjury and for obtaining money under false pretences if detected. The owner's affidavit should be supported by • disinterested person's certificate of the value of the *Diesel killed, and 'leo by a oertificate from the government inspector that the slaughter was necessary, and took place in the public interest. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE REPUBLICAN SUCCESSES IN MEXICO. The New York Times of the 18th says :—" The news from Mexico is important. Monterey, a city ' of about fifteen thousand inhabitants, has been captured by the Liberals. The Liberals have a large force in front of Matamoros, which they claim is en tirely at their mercy, and can be taken whenever they shoot's to make the attempt. It is said that they have offered all United States troops, who will join them in capturing the city, four hours of unrestrained plunder ; but this is not credible. An imperial transport has been captured on the North Rio Grande by Captain Sinclair, of the liberal forme, formerly a lieutenant on the Alabama. The trans port was handed over to the United States authori ' ties at Brownsville, who placed a guard over her. A liberal force was marchi n g on Bagdad, which 4 t city was defended by a strong detachment of French t roo ps! , The New York Herald observes of the in. telligence : "It will be seen that the liberals have captured Monterey, destroyed animperial garrison of 100 men, including a number of French troops ; seized an imperial transport, and at last accounts were closely investing Matamoros. Maximilian will now be o bliged to import more troops it he c an get them ; for his ranks are continually being de pleted by sickness, desertion, death, and all the other casualties of war. In the meantime General Sheridan will have to exercise the utmost prudence in restraining the American troops under his com mand on the Rio Grande and the Mexican border from obeying the impulses of their nature and rushing to the assistance of the liberals. The theatre of war seems to have been transferred from the central to the border portions of the Mexican territory, and it behoves our government to see that American interests are not endangered in con sequence. We wait further intelligence from Mexico with considerable anxiety." (amines Tzumwas.) COUNT VON BISMARCK'S VISIT TO FRANCE. PARIS, Nov. 30. The Coastitutionac/ of this morning, in an article signed by its chief editor, M. Paulin Limayrac, respecting the comments made b y some journals upon the recent visit of Count Von Bismarck to France, says: " The Prussian Prime Minister, during his interviews with the Emperor and M.

Count Von Bismarck displayed great discretion and the most perfect courtesy in the steps he took while in France." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Nov. 30.

Arriving there no bodice were food, PI ll having tem abandoned previous to the ciphers , carrying off their dead with them." were actuated. The diplomatic body had then bad more than the time necessary to interpose its good offices. The di approval by the Queen's government of the arrangement concluded by Senor 'rewire, and the approaching arrival of the new plenipotentiary with hie Kaaren were known se early as the 12th September at Santiago. The instructions given to the latter by the Queen's government in the presumption that the diplomatic body would visit him upon his arrival at Valparaiso, deaired him to engage in conference with that body sad interest it, so far am his dignity would permit , in a prompt and pacific arrangement. This presumption was deceived ; none of the members of the diplomatic body thought proper to visit Admiral Parris, neither upon his arrival nor during the four days which elapsed between the 17th and the 21st—the respective dates of his note and of the reply. It that had taken place —if, at least, the diplomatic body had offered in writing to employ its good offices eta useful time and opportunity, i.e. before the refusal of Chili oa the 21.0.—1 can confidently ware you that Admiral Pareja would have facilitated an arrange ment by every means in his power, for slash was his wish, and that of the Spanish gammon. Two favour able opportunities MOO therefore lost ; the lint, before he forwarded his note on the 17th, upon arriving at Val paraiso ; the second before the peremptory refusal of Senor Minister Courrubies had been received. All that wee done afterwards was perforce tardy and inopportune, even look ing any from the form sad matter of the communication& The deductioe may be clearly drawn that if, inspired by so lendable a desire, the foreign diplomatic body bad profited by then two propitious occadons, it is very probable that the disadvantages commerce is now suffering might have been avoided, and which we are sincerely the first to deplore. AU then explanations—those contained in the circular of this &nand the text of the annexed documents (already pub. lashed) contained in today' OcceUe, will supply your Excel lency with safficient data to rectify the fade andbring back to its veritable bearings that public opinion which has been led astray, either by politico' causes or by the material in terests which find themselves injured. No one can deplore more sincerely than the gov be ern by the meet of the Qu en the dis advantages which may suffered subjects of friendly and allied nation which maintain does commercial relations with Chili. A striking testimony to the solicitude it feels upon their account is afforded by the text of the instructions given to Admiral Puri% in case hostilities should occur. But at the same time no one can be blind to the fact that right is on our side, and that sew, when unfortunately eventualities such as those in which we are at present engaged towards the said republic have come to pees, no government can take into anent otherwise than by lamenting and averting it so far as possible, the damage which may be ceased to the com merce of foreign nations. We have frequent examples Of blockades which have been prolonged foe months and even for years, during which commerce has had to suffer imam !able injury ; and in the present can no government can be surprised at the measure adopted by the govern ment of the Queen which has preferred this prelimi nary act of blockade to mare serious • hostile acts entailing the destruction of property and the effusion of blood, which constitutes an additional proof of the modera tion, desire for peace, and conciliation which have always animated, and still animate, the cabinet of Madrid. These considerations cause us to hope that the govern ments, whose subjects may more directly suffer in their interests, owing to the peralisation of commerce, pelatestad with the justice and right whin are upon our side, will exert their isthmus with Chili no longer to refuse us the moderate satisfaction we ask from bra for the immune and repeated insults she has offered to a nation which has always admired her sad treated her sa a friend end an ally ; and we entertain that hope with the greater reason, because the satidactioa we ask contains nothing undignified or humiliating. I authorise your Excellency to read this despatch to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and to Senor Banks, the Chilies Minister, in answer to the animated observation he !addressed to you at the conference mentioned in your Ex cellency's despatch of the 19th, to which I have had the honer to reply.
