Fos some seasons back Society has been en riched by the introduction of an additional meal. The long interval between luncheon and dinner Las been bridged over, and a new occasion for hos pitality suggested, by the institution of "Five " o'clock tea." In houses where the mistress has a weakness for gossip, she has been enabled by this means to give her female friends a fresh ral lying point for the interchange of information upon the affairs of their common acquaintance. In families where the feminine element is youngerand more athletic, the same simple meal has proved just sufficient to give the neoesaarystimulus to intending croquet players. With the addition of an ice it has been found possible even to anticipate the' amusements of the evening ; and, in the hands of an economical hostess, a batch of "kettle-drums" Las formed a cheap substitute for a bell. Under all thew conditions, however, the new invention bee hitherto been supposed to possess one common element. It has been essentially a woman's insti tution. Whatever attractions it has bad for the other sex have grown out of this one characteristic., Tee man who has ventured to a five o'clock tea has done so with his eyes open, and with full know ledge of hia danger. It is the nearest approach the world has yet seen to an admission of the male sex to the mysteries of the Bona Dca, and if it bad been known to the ladies of Rome an invitation to it might have contented the ambition of Ct o oius, and the wife of C.ESAR might have remained tin _ suspected. Such at least is the reputation which the meal in question has up to this time sustained among us, but it now seems that our whole con ception of its character must be reconstructed from the foundation. Instead of being • recent dis covery, it has existed for many years ; instead of being the invention of a sociable young lady or a frugal matron, it traces its origin to • male source. In this instance, as in so many others, woman has been only the unconscious copyist of man. She bas taken the idea of five o'clock tea from the Guardians of the Portsmouth Union. It has been, we are told, for many years put, the practice of these gentlemen at their fortnightly meetings " to adjourn for tea about five o'clock ;" and the economical features, characteristics which the entertainment has everywhere preserved, are clearly discernible in the proceedings of its first promoters. "The cost per bead has never ex " ceeded 21d. ;" and it is highly creditable to the moderation of the Guardians that even at this low figure there has been an average attendance at tea of 14 out of 21. But innocent as this amount of refreshment may appear, it has been the occasion of a conflict of authority which has extended over two-thirds of the time during which the new Poor law has been in operation, though it has only come to a definite issue within the present month. The modest cup has been sweetened by a consciousness that it was paid for by a grateful community ; the Guardians have snatched a fearful joy in drinking tea at the public expense. The fortnightly 2id. has all along been "paid out of the funds of the " Union," although for the last twenty years the practice has been constantly objected to by the Poor-law Board. After smouldering in this way for the best part of • generation, the flame at length burst forth on Wednesday, the 6th of September. At the meeting held on that day, " a letter was " read from the central authority, in which the " item was again disallowed." Either the letter was expressed in language of unusual strength, or the patience of the Guardians was worn out, for, instead of treating the official remonstrance with their customary contempt, they broke into avowed rebellion. A resolution signed by all the Guar dians present was despatched to Whitehall-place, in which they positively refused to attend any future meetings to administer the Poor-law except they were allowed their tea. The answer of the central authorities gavo them the option of appealing to the Queen's Bench, but the Guardians, thinking probably that even their darling beverage would be dear at the cost of • certiorari, declined to avail themselves of the suggested remedy, and sent in their resignations instead. Accordingly, on Wednesday list, not a single Guardian was present, and the whole machinery for the relief of the poor in the parishes of Portsmouth sod Perinea is for the present at a standstill. The Poor-law Board has contented itself with pointing out to the seceders that • Poor law Guardian has no power to resign his office, and is liable to very severe penalties if any serious consequences result from his neglect of duty. Hitherto, however, this information has not pro duced any effect. No Guardian appeared last Thursday to receive the usual contracts for supply ing the inmates of the workhouse with food and clothing, and as the old contracts come to an end next Wednesday, the inmates are likely to find themselves in the unpleasant predicament of having nothing to eat and nothing to wear. It is really difficult to determine whether the conduct of these Portsmouth Guardians is most distinguished by its childishness, its insolence, or its ignorance of the first principles of common ho nesty. Here is a body of grave men declining to discharge the important public functions to which the; have been appointed, unless they are bribed to perform them by the promise of a gratuitous meal. Here are magistratesand persons bottling responsible positions in the district where they live, setting an example of insubordination as gross in every respect as that of a pauper who tears up his clothes or breaks the workhouse windows. Here are a number of officials, all of them well to do in the world, some of them probably possessed of con siderable wealth, deliberately taxing the rate payers for more than twenty years to pay for their 01 afternoon cup of tea. Ser fir es ewe the came is concerned they might just as ban voted themselves 1,5001. a year eaeh out of the poorrate , and a measure of this kind would at all events have been lees un dignified than to strike work because they are not to be partially boarded at other pe ople's ex pense. We are not usually advocates of Lynch law, but if these thirsty and impoverished gentle men were to be somewhat roughly handled by the paupers to whom they refuse to dispense relief we should have but little sympathy to spare them. Perhaps, now that they are denied their tea out of the ratepayers' pockets, they might not be the worse for making acquaintanoe with the action of the workhouse pump.

The standing army of the United States on Sep tember 1 consisted of 18,000 regulars, 100,000 white volun teers, and 90,000 nevem. Of these 150,000 were in the field, 20,000 in hospital, and the others either absent on leave. or preparing for muster out of the service. Large reductions are still to be made in the army, for the Presidsot intesds at a very early day to substitute for the troops now garrisoning the Southern States the old-time militia faros under the control of the State govenameets. By the Ist of January the only United States troops needed will be those in the lodise country, on the Rio Grande, and the garrisons of the forts along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The Southern States will be free from military control, excepting by their own state militia. On the sth ult. a circular was issued from the Mexican Minister of Public Works to all the prefects of the empire, requesting their ea-operation in obtaining on equitable conditions coocesaions froth the owners of large estates of unoccupied arable lands, with the object of en couraging foreign settlement. The prefects are instructed to represent that while population remains so small in pro- portion to the extent of territory, so long the productions the soil mast be restricted foe west of labour ; that if agriculture ?ameba stationary, the useful aria cannot prosper, and poverty most continue ; that the geversiseut, while *skims lands of which it his need, bee no intention of disregarding the lawful rights of proprietors, and will take care to cease to be executed by the colonists all oondi tics* agreed ups, by constituting itself the agent between them and the proprietors. Those latter net rotate their rights of property in the lands so long ea the valve dna not have been paid. They will profit meantime by the in. tercets and benefits secured. The price of lauds will range from 2s. to fe. sterling per acre. LTEIN INTELIJ,GII24OIII. DISCONTENT IN GERMANY. A correspondence from Magdeburg states that general discontent pervades the working classes, not only on account of the question of wages, but political questions. The agitation is greatest in the Rhenish provinces. At Bonn, Dusseldorf, and also at Orenit, in Westphalia, which Lae become an important manufacturing centre, the working men openly display their hostility against Barr von Bis marck, who in his circular to the various syndios would bring things back to the feudal system. At Dusseldorf and at Solingen the troops have been obliged to interfere. (ZITITIM'S TILIGRAIOL) AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Sem 26.

The papal Minister at War, Mgr. de Milrode, in an order of the day announcing to the Pope's army the death of General de Lamorlaiere, alluded to Csatelfidardo, and took upon himself to say that down to the moment of his death General de La morioiere " was only waiting for a favourable opportunity once more to risk his life for the cause." The above sentence stimulates the Putrie to ask whether the Pope is thinking of attacking Italy. Mgr. de Moirode cannot avoid this dilewuia, that his order of the day is either a threat of hostilities or a vain famfaropmade. Cardinal d'Andrea has sent to the Temps, by post, from Naples, a printed letter of the highest interest, addressed from Naples to his brother cardinals and the episcopacy in general, in which, according to the Temps' Italian correspondent, M. Erdan, he "declares himself openly a partisan of the unity of Italy and the convention of. Septem ber 15." The Temps this evening publishes the following manuscript letter received from his eminence : Naples, Sept. 21. The rumours which continue to be circulated touching my sojourn in Naples have induced me to address to my venerable colleagues, the cardinals and the bishops, a letter of explanation. Your journal being apparently one which takes particular notion of everything concerning me, I beg you to publish the document which I and by this post.— Aoospt, J 1.1103“ CARDINAL D'AIDEIZA. The Temps says it received the above letter together with that of its correspondent, M.! Erdan, without any delay, but the printed letter referred to as being despatched by the same poet has not come to hand. It gives notice of the miscarriage to the postmaster-general. I presume Cardinal d'Andrea's printed letter has shared the fate of the Daily News of Saturday, i.e., has been seized, or at least detained. When the prefects are told that their principal duty is to keep an eye upon the provincial press, it is not astonishing that the gentlemen of the board of censure in Paris should feel their importance enhanced, and think it necessary to show extra zeal in stopping foreign printed matter. In the last list of creations of chevaliers of the Legion of Honour appears the humble name of Marchand, a corporal of gendarmerie in the de partment of the &rale, and the grounds given in the Mowiteur for conferring upon him this distinc tion, so much coveted by his bettors, are that he had " the courage to inform against the Mayor of Montreuil—le Henry—for illtreating and locking up his daughter, while no inhabitant of the com mune [dared to take an initiative in the matter." The mayor in question imprisoned his daughter in a stable, and kept her there in filth and misery for many years, and for this , crime he was some months sines senteiloed by an assize court to a long period of imprisonment. It is very fairly observed by the opposition journals on the occasion of K Maroband's decoration that if this mayor of the Mrs. Brownrigg race had been elected by his fellow-citizens instead of being I appointed to reign over them by au imperial decree they would not probably have been afraid to de nounce his cruelty. Contrary to general expectation the government candidate, M. Barilion, has been returned in the Oise. Out of 27,848 registered voters he obtained 17,243. The opposition minority of 10,498 was distributed as follows :—Buffard, 5,172 ; Cerbin, 4,942 ; and Tremblay, 384. Marshal Canrobert's wife, an English lady, has just been confined of a daughter at the Chateau de Billion, near Lyons. The Duke de Oramont Quierousse died at 6 this morning.

(Fssoi as rasa.) The Cattle plague has suddenly exhibited an *stingy sew end anespsoted developmeot, sad the latel ligenoe we publish on the subject this morals( is most startling. It will be seen from • report of Protium'. &mos& to the Clark of the Council that the disarm bus broken out amen the sheep, aooompsaisd by all Its mot fatal characteristics ; sad, further, that there Is every appssraace of the lafastioe train bass ems' muolasted both from sheep to sous, sad from cows . . • - to sheep. The facts of the case are singularly as mistakeable end complete. Oa the 17th of Ant= • farmer at Btakeney, in Norfolk, received on his farm 120 lambs which had been bought at Thetford Fair. Oa their arrival some of them showed sigma of =meal fatigue, which was attributed to the beat at the weather sad to their lour journey. The shepherd, however, at coos pro nounced them =healthy, aad reeemsairaded that they should be returned to the dealer. It was secs evident that disease, sad not fatigue, was affecting them end the s►mp toms rapidly spread among the dock. Oa the 24th of August—the dates are Dot the least important part of the story—two of the wont ones were removed from the field to a shed in which a cow was also plaoed. On the 2lith two lambs died, end on the 27th the whole flock were brought Into the yard in which the shed stood. Another shed was esperened from th yard by nothing more than some furze (agate, and into this shad some oows were drives night and morning for the par pose of being milked. From this tints the disease .pried among the lambs with the same deadly rapidity width bee marked its ravage, amoeg herds of cows, until oa the 22nd of September 46 of the Book were dead sod 27 were MI. °tidy affected. The symptoms woe precisely those of the a plague, and post mortem examination., both by Yr. Simonds and by other authorities at the Veterinary Oollept, I revealed all the familiar marks of the same disown. That the plague, therefore, has broken out seam the sheep is, is the first place unquestionable ; it remains to consider the evidence of its infeetioa having been csommu pleated between them and the cattle. It wee as the 24th of August that a eow was first lodged Is the ass abed with the two lambs. Footless days afterwards, as the 7th September, or, se Mr. Simonds prefers to pert it, "ter days after the last exposure to the shay,* this very oow exhibited symptoms of the cattle plague. Your days ',der a second now, one of those which had been milked in the adjoiniss shed, also fall ill, and by the 16th of September all the cow, six in number, a heifer, i and a calf, were dead. Add to this that the plains has not appeared among any cattle within a distance of fourteen miles from the farm, and the wideness of direct infection from the sheep to the cattle are certainly easy strong. After such eases se that of Lord Sydney's cattle, which were attacked at a distance of three mike and half from soy known nurse of ee•tsglon, Mr. Simonds must be admitted to be somewhat free with his impossi bilities. At the same time we have here all the signs of infection which could be expected. The cattle are healthy sell the arrival of the lambs, and they are exposed to no other known source of infection. The lambs hen the plane, and are in close communication with the cows; and after the lapse of precisely the usual period of incubation from the time when the cows were exposed to the entagion the disease breaks oat among them. From ten days to a fort night is the time during which the disease is slid to remain latent, and this was exactly the period which elapsed. Such is the evidence of the disease having bees communi cated from sheep to eon. We are not informed in the caM of this fink how the lambs could ban contracted the disease ; but a eau has occurred simultaneously in this muse scanty which would appear to show that the plague can be directly conveyed from the cows to the sheep. A disease bearing similar appearance of being identical with the cattle plague has been ravaging a large dock of sheep in Norfolk, belonging to Mr. B. F. li. Harvey, M.P. Upon this estate the disease was first introduced by some cattle, and the sheep had been pastured with some of these very cattle. We have, therefore, at least as strong evidence as can be expected, not only that the disease of the cattle bas broken oat among the sheep, but that It is equally liable to be communicated from one class of animals to another. The gloomy prospects which are opened to us by such intelligence are bat too evident. If this fatal malady ravages at the same moment both our oxen and our sheep, we must look forward to little lees than a famine of acing food. If we had been spared one of our great meat ',triples, we might have endured the temporary injury of the other ; but if both are sinanhaaeonady damaged, the consequences may be meet lamentable. A disease, indeed, among the sheep would h►ve a far more direct result upon the supply of meet than the cattle plague, as we lately understood it. It was the cows which were principally affected, end the supply of beef was not immediately de pendent upon them. Bat if • whole flock of Ammar lambs may be indiscriminately ravaged, the supply of mutton must be instantly contracted. It mast be added, too, that under such circumstance, it will be necessary to use the strictest measures of precaution in order to prevent the sale of diseased meat. Moreover, if sheep may be affected by this disease, why may not pigs? Aad thee every article of animal food may be at con throwo under suspicion. But it will be not the least alarming result of such a (re covery th►t it would seem to reader nugatory all our per Timis measures for preventing the distribution of the disease by means of naturism. It is evident in the first place, that while we thought we had guided spinet con tagion by • rigid quenelle° of ear cattle we have been liable all the time to have it conveyed by sheep. But, in the next place, with all our sheep as well as oar cattle exposed to the plague, bow will it be possible to enforce a strict system of separation? Large flocks of sheep are very &dement from herds of cattle. Where there ark hunched' of cattle there we thorns-3de of sheep, and it would seem impossible to insure that animals in an incipient siege of the disease shall not be Doomed along public roads, or be allowed to pasture among healtbF herds. If the system of '` stamping out" the disease by presenting any diseased animal from communicating with any healthy on be still our only resource, Dotting would seem likely to be mut& tient except the absolute prohibition of all transit of any kind of saimals. The outbreak may, io Gat, prove to be the reduaio ad absurdum of our regalstioes. It will be sem that the dagger has In some anemias* been already met by the Privy Council. We publish an order this morning, consolidating all the previous criers on the s►me subject, in which the word " animal" eir olives the widest exteasioe, and is made to include not only horned cattle. but sheep, lambs, gotta, and swine. Asy good, therefore, that can be dome ty the orders in couacil will at once affect sheep as well as oxen. Without, again, indulging in premature speculations. we may anticipate that many other points la our existing notions on the subject will be placed in • very new light. We wonder wbetber M. Behie will reseals equally positive that the plague is the Russian rioderpest, and a disease peculiar to horaed cattle. Wall it, again, be equally certain that the disease is typhus fever, now that it has extended far humeri the class of subjects in which, while it appeared to be that disease, it was thought to have ori ginated? And, lastly, now that it seems probable that our whole stook of animal food is liable to be eff otrd, shall we persist in the barbarous practice of slaughtering indisorioneately every sainted in which the disease appears' When • plain among haven beings carries off 70 per coot. of its victims does any one propose to slaughter the remaining 30 per cant. in order to prevent contagion' Suppose that seven-eighths of the cattle attacked sink under the diessu, why should we lose the remaining eighth' At all events, if this be the oily treatment with which veterinary surgeons can provide us, we beg to suggest one practical conclusion to the Beitials farmers—that is, sot to put themselves to the expense of employing veterinary romans. They can slaughter their cattle without the assistance of the Veterinary College. We bops, however, a more civilised saaanse of treatment may be soon adopted, and that those veterinary sargeoes who believe in the metalline of their art sad are willing to extend its resources by the light of experience) may take every opportunity of doing so.

TIM CHOLERA AT Tomo,. We regret to have to record an increalre oi t cholera at Toulon, the deaths from cholera ea the 22nd having increased to 61 from 38 on the previous dag. Th e Totrionnaie of the 23rd coattails the following We have already approved of the fires lit in the streets every everting during the last week, sad we have above all bents is mind the moral upset of those masifestatieos, encouraged as they are by the municipal authorities. Those fires are a distraction to the mind, and serve to strengthen the courage of the inhabitants. It would besides appear that the epidemic of cholera at Oosetantinople nly seated after the vast confiegritiou which de stroyed two quarters of that city. The salutary effect of the flume was therefore shown on a huge scale, sad that is a snfident eoeoneagement to the administration of the town to persevere in thee& mesmeric They are, however, badly carried out, and those persons who light up the fires, suppesieg that It is the smoke that purifiee the air, throw water, wetted fuel. or old shoes on the burning piles, with the idea of oreatiag as much smoke as pas sible. The result Is that the sinew streets are filled with a heavy and suffer:main atmosphere which penetrates the apartments to the great ineonve- Mance of even people in good health, but of invalida espedelly, several of whom have been made much worse in oorwequenoe. The population has, moreover, spontane ously organised a kind of rejoicing which has become in tolerable for persona who require rest, sad for the doh. At silent crackers are let off in the street* in every direction. That noisy display of fireworks continues until 10 in the evening, and the detonations awake suddenly those persona who are worn out with fatigue, and are endeavouring to repair by deep the effects of a laborious day, and espe cially the sick, for whom quiet and repose ere so necessary. If even those disturbers were est , silect with noiseless fire works there would perhaps be little inoonveeisuce. Yester day evening Dr. Bougarel, one of our yousgsst phydelaoa, was attacked by the epidemic in the antra of his devoted Inactions ; was lying is a dangerous state, and his family had solicited that the tattoo should not be beaten on the Place d'Artnee, where his residence is situated, which request was granted. The drums were consequently silent, but the Doles of the crackers was inceennt, to the peril of a pbyelaian who was 'offside( from his sail and devoted nue. We therefore hope that We administration will rigor ously prohibit those unseemly rejaitinp, which are canted on at the espouse of the victims of the epidemic, and aut . not be productive of soy advantage whatever." GLADIATEUR" AT THE PARIS AUTUMN MEETING. Sunday's card excited but little interest so far as the !Wog was °encircled, although the knowledge that Gladiateur would start for the Prix du Princes Imp rW at tracted a math larger number of spectators than would otherwise have been present. The empty benches is the Grand Stand, however, showed that the continued fine weather still retains the fashionable world at Trouville and Baden. The first race for decision was the Prix de Ole. tigny, which brought out a field of five, all winners, and produced some spirited betting, Quaker on the strength of the boating he had given Tottruialet on the previous Sunday being installed favourite. Lalle Rookh, the second in the French Oaks, bad, however, many supporters at a point longer odds, and as both with respect to weight were on equal terms, the race appeared, as it eventually proved, a match between the two. Quaker re peated his victory after making the running throughout. The sellieg race which followed was the best contested event of the day. At the distance five of the six starters — Doge bad got badly off—were running abreast across the course, Aeglo•Sexoo aid Fostanges then drew slightly in advance, and ran neck and neck to with in a couple of lengths of the winning poet, when Arthur Watkins, who rode the former, mad* a magaificeet effort, and landed him a winger by a short head. The others finished in such close order that no third was placed. The , Prix de Madrid, as from the confines, of the race is usually the case, brought out the most Megabir lot of hones to be seen at Paris or Chantilly throughout the year. Even the old 111111, Alate, who only a few mouths back had a foal beside her, wee brought back from the stud farm to the nerecoaree on this eocasioe. The winner turned up in Fitz Australian, a horse whose performances had hitherto been confined to the small meetings in the south of Franco The appointees of Gladiatenr reduced the field for the great race of the day to very small proportions, as only Vertu gadin came out spinal bin, of the fifteen entered, although the half of the entries were reserved for the second horse. It is hardly necessary to 8413 that Gladiateur was the winoer, but Wertngadin certainly made him gallop, and the last half mile, as Grimahaw himself declared, was run at a rattling pane. The last prize of the day also fell to Conot de Legrange with Le Mandarin, on whom long odds were laid, notwithstandieg that he gave a lump of weight to each of the other starters.
