Tea first practical point in regard to the Cattle Plague is that the country should "keep cool ;" and the first condition of keeping cool is, suer taining and making known the points on which all the upholders of the many current notions are, or may be, if they are reasonable, clearly agreed. It is toe much to expect of ruined holders of stock that they should open their minds only to esta blished knowledge and reasonable considerations ; and much perplexity and excitement should be allowed for in those whose property is in peril, and who are, from day to day, expecting the loss of all their property. The dismal spectacle of the disease, and of the daily heaps of corpses, and of the sweeping away of not only pet animals, but choice herds, which have been the pride and the business in life of their owners and keepers, is enough to shake the steadiest judgment, and to stimulate the imagina tion to the strangest vagaries. It is the more ne cessary for the promulgators of the news of the day, and for the Government, and for the local authorities everywhere to ascertain with the utmost care and impartiality the facts which arise from day to day, and to separate in their announcements and in their counsels what is certain from what is in ferred, proposed, or imagined. A week ago moat people believed on trust that the disease was Roggen, and ought to be called the " rinderpest ;" and this was grounded on the asser tion that it was introduced by a cattle ship from Revel ; whereas it is ascertained that no such disease exists now, or bas for a long time existed in Eathonia at all. It will require some time to prove where the disease does exist in the continental coati tries we deal with, whether it affects other animals than cattle, and whether it can be conveyed by animals not themselves diseased. Meantime, it seems impossible to doubt that the malady is now indigenous. There are many cases in various parts of the country of cattle sickening in their stalls or paddocks without having seen, or been within many miles of any of their own kind. This is a plain hint to owners of cows everywhere to be on the watch, and to do everything reasonable for the preservation of the health of their stock. All this is straightforward enough. As for the conrerse case that of herds and stable stocks, which remain in health while the pest has raged all round them for weeks—the explanation may e quip) time, and should now engage the attention of veterinary surgeons ; but it is by no means of the first consequence to cow-keepers, as • matter of study. If the reason of the exemption can be found, it will not be found by them. It seems that the most important fact for the:- minds to rest upon is this : that, by universal agreement among all qualified judges, the disease arises from a poisoning of the blood. It is of the same general character as all fevers in the human subject ; and the experience of the hums sub ject is the surest guide we have as to what ought to be done. The blood-poisoning which throws us into fever is almost always from bad air ; but it may arise from long exposure to cold, and from great exhaustion, from deficient or bad food, anxiety, or over fatigue. It creates eruption somewhere, either externally, as in email pox, or internally, by sores along the intestinal canal, or in the lungs or other organs. We see it in its most dreaded form in typhus, with the external signs of which most of us are too familiar. The doctors could tell no that what we do not see is the whole intes tinal anal, or successive portions of it, covered with sores as fearful as any ulcers that we can have seen in any hospital. The object of treatment is to sustain the patient's strength ti'l the poison is thrown off, and to assist the process of casting it out. Whatever else may be advised for this object, there is no doubt about the first requisite. It is air. Nothing in the sick room of a fever patient is so striking as the ravenous ap petite for air. One of the wisest physicians at Scutari, ten years ago, said that if typhus patients could lie in a wind during the illness, most of them would get through ; and none who have witnessed the delight of the sufferers in adraught will think the saying extravagant. We have left off shutting op fever patients in hot rooms and within bed cur tains ; but we have not fully learned bow safe and wise it is to let them have their own way, and enjoy the very largest supplies of fresh air that can be given them. It is not a matter of heat and cold, of fanning the brow and refreshing the akin ; it goes deeper than that ; it is the one express way of feeding and restoring the blood, of supplying the wholesome element in counteraction of the poison. Food and brandy are of small value in comparison. Food can seldom be taken, to any considerable extent, in the critical stages of the malady ; brandy is often necessary at the turning point for life or death, and often beneficial besides ; but air is of infinitely more coniequence, as the prime need, and the natural stimulant and aliment at once, while the poison is being worked out. Now, while the lower animals have a heart and lungs and circulating system, as we have, with their life depending on the natural quality of the blood, as ours does, our experience in typhus and other fevers most be appropriate for them. In the present case, the very first necessity, for the beast. which are still in health and for those which are in the disease, is the amplest possible supply of the best air that can be bad. It remains for the doctors to ascertain and themes what kind and degree of other stimulant should be administered, and bow the internal ulceration should be treated; the best doctor will still be he who can give Me cows the largest and meat constant supply el the best air. Without this, we may be very sure SA not all the whisky, and ale, and port be poured down the throat can ata t iljeli*does supply the specific need. It atim - Ole sr to an action which it might mitts, cilibm4we abl keep up ; but it cannot directly superseabehe son by restoring the quality of the blood. Here, we are afraid, ends our clearness as to what to think and do. We do no know what it is that poisons the blood when we get beyond the limits of the personal oontagion. When we have pursued this cause as far as we can go—when we have taken warning about the breath and the excrementitious products of the diseased animals —when we have taken care that not an atom of putridity remains in the stable, that the water is sweet and the air pure, we still find the disease punning our cattle by Rome affinity as yet mysterious to us. While trying to understand it, we can only use all precautions compatible with the fact that the disease requires pure air in the largest quantities. We had better avoid assemblages of cattle as far as possible. We must have supplies from abroad, which are more necessary now than ever ; but, as we daily see, there may be exem plary care in the transport and landing of the stock ; and they may be kept by themselves for • sufficient time after landing. We cannot dispense with them ; but it may be prudent to refrain for • time from cattle shows, and from trade in stock, except for the purposes of the meat market. Amidst all the dismay there is some encourage ment. The disease does not strike down every herd or company of cows in its path. There is • caprice in its potion which leaves • hope that it will spare • eery large proportion of our stook. According to all modern precedent, the disease will become leas virulent after a time, and will admit of treatment. If recovery is already not unheard of, we may reasonably hope that we shall hear of more, as the seasons change, and our know ledge improves. We are already discovering that we hear of more than exists of the specific malady. Whenever • cow, or • sheep, or • pig is ailing, the neighbourhood cries out that the " rinderpest " has come, and hastooontradiot theory a week afterwards. We cannot say where it may not go before we have done with it ; and we may fairly admit that we hear more than formerly of disease among sheep and pigs : but we may subtract the ordinary pro portion of tickling and loss from the new mor tality, and thus see what it amounts to ; and we may look out confidently for some mitigation of the virulence of the disease in • little while, what ever its extent may thee be. At • later time, other business will arise. We shall then have to consider how our great towns can be supplied with milk in some safer and whole- Romer method than by dairy establishments in crowded and airless neighbourhoods. We shall have to procure • better enforcement of cleanliness in the transport and enforcement of animals. There will doubtless be some extension of the veterinary profession in answer to the growing demand of the country. There can be little doubt that the kindly heart of England will devise some aid and con solation for the sufferers who are now ruined, with out fault of their own, by the onset of this strange enemy. These things will come in their turn, when we have done all that lies ready to our band, with the least possible disturbance of our minds. Cite Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Sirr. O.

The Motiiteur of this morning says :—" The meeting between the Veatch and Spanish Rove reigus of St. Sebastian was moat cordial. The entire population, by its enthusiasm, appeared to take part in au event which is of a nature to draw closer the ties between the two sovereigns and the two countries." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (ISOM 00ft OWN PAWS. SUNDAY EVENINO. The reception of the Imperial family at Biarritz was as enthusiastic as might be expected in a watering place which owes all Its prosperity to their annual visits. It was quite a state affair,with arches' , of triumph, military music, and cent-gardes at each end of the procession, which was followed by some 50 private carriages belonging to the bathers, who are said this year to number 3,000, of all nations. The Prussian Ambassador, several Russians of distinction, and a great many Spaniards had arrived in time for this reception. Among the latter I remark the Duke with the Duchess of Fria', lately • " Lady Crampton. Yesterday the visit was paid to the Queen of Spain, but of course we have not yet any details on the subject ; to-morrow she retnru the compliment. The Emperor left at 2 and was to return at 9; I suppose it is to compensate for his having made the first visit that the Queen is to arrive at half-past 1, and not to leave till half-put 19, remaining longer in France than the whole time occupied by the Emperor's journey. The fleet has sailed from Cherbourg, it is supposed to add to the solemnity of the reception at Biarritz. The Duke of Mecklenburg-Schweriu, now at Bag arras de Luchon, has volunteered a visit to Biarritz, where he will arrive on the 13th. M. Conti, the chef of the Emperor's cabinet, has accompanied him this year, but none of the ministers are iu his suite. M. Drouyn de Lhuys returns to-morrow from Boon, and it is rumoured that although lie went not on diplomatic busineas,but to esoort Mdtue. Drouyn on her return from a watering-place, he had a pass ing interview with the King of Prussia. This reminds me of the Ott "question," which threatens to be as troublesome as that of Salzburg. M. Simon, who coutiuues at the Constitution/id, acd is neither made a hofrath nor a minor in Austria, signs an article this morning saying that the French chargiS d'affairs at Berlin has orders to watch the proceedings of the Prussian authorities in the affair arising from the "death" of the French man named Ott. This paragraph in the officious paper seems to indicate on the part of the French government an inclination to view the outrage more leniently th►n the French people do. The Bishop of Ajsccio has published a pamphlet in answer to Prince Napoleon's speech, not attacking his purely political appreciation of his great uncle, but to prove that the great man died a sincere catholic. This reminds me having heard years ago, on what seemed good authority, that when on his death-bed Napo leon ordered the sacrament to be placed on a tem porary altar in his room, the chaplain in attend. snob objected, but he answered, "It is the privi lege of royalty, and lam a crowned head." Mon signor Coquereau, who seems to have excited so much admiration the other day at Portsmouth, can probably tell whether this is correct, although I think he only arrived at St. Helena after the great hero's death. I subjoin a paragraph from the Petrie, which though relating to the Portsmouth fifes, is probably new in England. It is quoted from the Moniteur die Ciergi, it is therefore, of course, true, although to those who were not pre sent it seems as monstrous a Nape as layman ever indulged in : Os Friday, Sept. 1, there was a rev:ew of the Royal Ar tillery and hfar'nes oe the vast plain which stretches be• tweets Portsmouth and the sea.

SLAVERY IN Cosa.—The question as to the in- dodoes the abolition of slavery in the United States may exert indirectly upon the existieg system in Cuba has not escaped the attentioo of theleading merchants of Ilavaanah whose conclusions with respect to it, however, are not die: eouraging, either 1111 regards the prospects of the coloured population or the outlined prosperity of the island. It it admitted that there are some who feel great anxiety, but the large majority, it is said, look to the adoption of a plan al gradual emancipation, and axe confident the result will in no way permanently impair their commercial strength and resources. Their ground for this belief ocoudsta hi the experience for the last few year■ of the rapid advance of mechanical as compared with mutual labour. Statistics re oently published show th►t in 1866 there were in the island 323 772 slaves, while the production of sager was 17,7211,589 strobes. In 1862 the slaves num bered 368,550, and the production of sugar reached 41,418,444 arrobsa. Thus, while the increase of slaves was less than 14 per oast., the increase of sugar pvoduotloa wee mom than 130 per cent. Immigration from Chins, the is troduction of machinery, and improved methods of culture have beau the causes of this change, and they are considered curtain to contiaue In a still increasing ratio to replace slave labour.

THE SHENANDOAH AND THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. --*--- The Times of to-day, after commenting upon the ravages committed by the pirate Sbeouideah sloes the close of the American wet, says it is worth considering whether a farther step than that strictly required of as by interim time" law would not be justified under the peculiar oiream stances of the mac. " Oar neutrality, with its very limited ' rights' and very onerous 'duties,' hes owed with the war, and nothing reclaim but our obligations, legal and moral, towards a friendly power in time of peace. We have amply satisfied the requirements of honour as between our salvia and the now extinct Confederate goveramcat, and there is no longer room for the exercise of impar tiality. There is no such thing r. • ' Confederate steamer Shenandoah,' for there is no belligerent power to claim her or to be responsible for any enormities that she may perpetrate. Captain Waddell is, to all intents sal purposes, his own master, and has the abalone disposal of all the plunder which he may accumulate. In other words, he is engaged is • rivet* bucausering raid, and hay thereby made his:wolf the enemy of all civilise' nations. He may have had good reasons of his own for sparing British merchantmen, but there is no good reason that we can see why be should be spared rather then soy other pirate if he should chaos to fall ha with a British mannf.war. It was not his respect for Basilisk hospitality, but the vigilance of the colonial government, that alone prevented • gross breach of our laws when the bks nasiloah lay in Austrai is waters. Justice and policy alike suggest that we should aid the United States in cutting short his lawless career, sad putting down outrages so ruinous to commerce and so dirge iceful to civilisation. We hope that instrectioas to that effect may be sat to the commander of our squadron to the Pacific. It is as ant that would be appreciated by the United States and justified by public opiaiou is Great Britain. Nothing but the direst amenity could excuse the system of aondemaieg and burn ing ships on the Web sw adopte 1 by the Confederate cruisers during the war. So strong was the feeling against it in this oountry that many people could be induce' to believe that it was toleramd by internationd law. As now practised by Captain Waddell in aim-ant delete. of all law, it can excite nothing but horror, and the circumstances of the Shenandoah being lapelled from our own shores, after aU our °Matte to maintain the spirit of the Foreign Enlistment Act, will certainly sot win for her any amp tiooal sympathy." (From the New York Tribe:lc of August 28.) Saving always the murder of the President and the Ora cities of the An lersonville dungeon, we know of nothing in the whole series of rebel crimes equal in absolute wanton wickedness to the herniae of the American whaler, by the area Shessandoals, on the oath-west mat. TIN) business of whaling has been for some time epos the dallier, ad years must elapse before the once opulent city of New Bedford, Masesebusette, can recover from the blows which this outlawed rover bas indicted upon its before waning prosperity. But only those who are acquainted with the peculiar character of the whaling besieges can understand the amount of private distress which these felonies will occasion. In the first place, the ships are owned not by one or two capitalists. bat by • number of smell shareholders, who have invested their savings in the pur chase of an eighth. a sixteenth, or • thirty -second part of a ship; snd these shares ore often held by widows and orphene who depend solely upon the returns for support. " A broken voyage," even when the ship return., mean. not only diesppoiltment but privation, and sometimes „pinching poverty. But with the ship goes the whole investment, unless Maranon has been effected at enormous rates, and this, upon the suppressiou of the rebellion, was naturally given up. Furthermore, the crews of these vessels are paid sot by regular monthly wages, as in the merchantservice , but by • stipulated rer centage upon the net profits of the voyage. Wh the Shenandoah barns a whaler every body ,in the least connected with the voyage suffers —the pato wars, the outfitters, who have • lien on the catching. for their advances, the officers, the crews, the !amass of the crews, and traders who, upon the credit of the voyage, have supplied these families with the name wigs of life. Every ship burned takes away so mach business from the boat-builder, the ship-carpenter, the rigger the call-maker, the blacksmith, the baker, the caulker, th; stevedore, the pilot, the chandler, the nautical instrument maker, the slop-seller, the flour and pork dealer, the druggist, the insuraace aloes, and the 6inks. The cult is all-embracing. It reaches every shop, every house, and every street. It is only lately that anybody his dime any budnessin New Bedford notdirectly connected with whaling. But the vocation was extremely profitable, and the town had grown very wealtbr—it was famous for its fioe pub lic buildings, for its excellent schools, for its large public library, for she beauty of its private resiences, for its charalawa, for ite excellent ship Wilda's, for i ts lyceum, one of the oldest in the United Staten and for its first rate commercial credit all over the world. Only one year ago it celebrated the two-hundredth anniversary of its foundation. This is the city which one wicked enterprise has brought nigh to ruin, and has filled with anxiety sad &strew. - But there are 4111 farther aggravatioes. The commander of the Shenaodosh knows very well that the rebellion has collapsed, and be is runoing a muck merely for the Wye of remege. He ha, not even the hope of profit which stimu lates the ordimuy pirate. In comparison with the pro ' party which he &strop, that which he retains as the re sult of his theft Is insignificant. The hoods which be extorts from the masters of ships which beeping are of so value, and he knows that they are of nose. He is only trying to keep up a pretence of lawful warfare. If anybody is to be hasped for participation in this revolt, Waddell, the commander of the Shenandoah, is the mac. Among :he items of intelligence are two which are sot ealeelated to promote eatioeal comity. We are told that 'motet the people on the Shenandoah " was an Englislinsaa who seemed to be prospecting for Eva vessels to be put on &Hoe betweve Australia sad New Zealand, and probably would mindless IMMO of the captures of the pirate.* For they.

The Herald ob j ectei betel says :—" The reasons which make ministers I and ministerial members anxious to postpone the , opening of the Heim are reasons which mast' make the publics feel that, at whatever cost to phaseouts*" ,bootleg end fox-booting, it is desirable that the homes should meet in the autumn in order to get through the forinal brines which must otherwise occupy the early weeks of spring, and delay, perhaps shoat ail the end el i the session, certain matters which ought to be promptly decided. The lavish expenditure of lima °naiades— which has been more audacious and more open than on any previous 0001600 nine the Reform Act —ail furnish an ; unusual amount of work to the election committees ; and unless the appointment of a Speaker, the i estsblishenent of the standing committees, and the selection of the members to be charged with theme ievestigations, be accomplished by an autumn seseion, it la too likely that fee may than half the seseloa seats will be ocospied by those who have no claim to them, and the decisions of the House of C./MOW= morally vitiated by the vote' of the pseudo. representatives of diecootoeted sad roes:planing cionaist tummies, aid by the exclusion of those who ought t, sit there.

A scrutiny is required to restore her legitimate member to Biirigeorth, sad the mine process will pretty surely return Mr. Hennessy foe King's County end Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald for Horsham. The elections vitiated by libels' bribery which must be contested sad will probably be penned are more numerous than we penetrant. It will not be well that the earrectioe of all these flaws in the perweal constitutioo of the present house should be de , loyal no long es it must be if the preliminary stops are not taken before February ; and we cannot but that that It is , the duty of ministers to vindicate their own insomnia of i the misdeeds of their Maids by advising the Qoesin to eon , yoke parliament in November, and of her Majesty's Opp ; sition to give up even a fortnight of the beet days of the ; sporting sewers to the public serviesand the purification of the House of Commoes." THE ST. LEGER AND "OLADIATEUR." On Wednesday, for the ninetieth time, the pine wreath of the Bon will be contested, and, if concurring rie ciente may be teethed, under circumstances of unparalleled brilliancy and excitement. Gledisteur has won both the great three-year-old races of the year ; Gladiatenr has beaten every horse that has been opposed to him ; and Cladiatimi is, in the stable acceptation of the term, aY " Frenchman." Will Gladiateur continue his triumph' If. has, as yet, won everything in a ouster, and is by the cognoscenti in such matters, expected to repeat the performance. Ceder this prospect, so humiliating to this national vanity, we regret to learn from the Post that the " ugly whapere are abroad to the effect that, as fair lamas are likely to fail in protecting its fulfilment, foul meant will be resorted to, sod that Gladathur •is not to eta.' It is rumoured—with what truth it ie impartible to say, bat the rumour is prevalsot—that a unchain section of a certain class, whose livelihood depends upon their makieg ' things plea. ant' on the turf, will be so grievously compromised by hie victory that some mesas or other will be taken to prevent it. It is asserted that they know he can win ; that they feel &denied his noble owner, Count de Lagrange, is beet as eloping with him ; that the protest against his age is simply nonsense ; and that, therefore their oily resource is to ensure his defeat themselves. As bribery is out of the question, hneuuing impracticable, and 'shutting out at the beet of times doubtful, it is feared that if this disparate expedient be attempted at all, it will be by some violent mach on the oourse, snob as was hazarded in the ease of Acrobat in 1651, and of Caller.Ou ten yore later. It is needless to say that such an evert, if permitted, or indeed, if sot per would be a greater disgrace to us than if all our Derbys and St. Lows were won by costioental hones ter the next 50 years. It would be ludicrous to suppose that our racing supremacy could be patched up by such means. It would rather be the most perfect and entire admission of our inferiority, gem we could eon- demand to a dirty deed to stave off its proof. Moreover, rival nationality, even if it could be any excuse, would go for nothing in such a design, for at could only be projected by thins worthless enough to hesitate at nothing to secure their plunder, and who would do just the earns organist au English horse. 11 accomplished, it would be a positive blot on the national honour. But it must be horse in mind that in the ease of desperate and determined men it might not be a very difficult matter, and would be irretiievabla Not many weeks ago a c•se was cited where a violent mob tore away a stirrup and leather from a winner as he was returning to aisle. The jockey was thereby unable to draw his weight. Bat, though it was demonstrated to have been au intentional fraud. there war no redreer, and the stewude of the meeting had no alter native but to award the stokes to the sewed horse. It is to be trusted that efficient are will be taken that the S. Leger of 1865 shall sot be tarnished by any such out- rage."
