WARWICK, At the adjourned Quarter Sessions held at War wick on Saturday, Lord Leigh stated that Mr. Worms's treatment had been eminently successful on his farm, and that his bailiff had that morning informed him that his cattle were all looking well and eating heartily. Ilis lordship stated that the treatment had not had fair play in connection with the three calves which had died, as great delay oc curred in obtaining good assafeetida. lle expressed his ulabated confillice in Mr. Worms' system. On Friday evening Lord Leigh issued the following re port as to the resnit of Mr. Worms's treatment of his cattle :—" Of the 24 animals treated by Mr. Worms four calves have relapsed, and five others not treated by him personally have since been taken ill. Of the nine sick calves three have died, and one cow, which had also been treated by Mr. Worms, shows this morning symptoms of the re turn of the disease. All the others are quite well. The calves which were placed in a shed by them selves have had the disadvantage of being extremely crowded ; and yet more, for four days Lord Leigh remained waiting for the best assafeetida, as that provided by the stores in the neighbourhood (where the demand for assafcetida has probably been hitherto very small) was very inferior to that Mr. Worms brought down. Lord Leigh's confidence, however, in the value of Mr. Worms's advice remains undi minished where fairly tested, and he has received confirmatory statements from other quarters.

GREAT NORTHERN. The report of the directors states that the total capital of the company now amounted to £16,041,900, including that of the Leeds, Brad ford, and Halifax, and of the 'West Yorkshire Rail way Companies, pursuant to the amalgamation acts of last session. The works on the lines in course of construction between Doncaster and Gainsborough, March and Spalding, and Lincoln and Honington were progressing steadily, and the gradients on the loop line were also being improved. It was expected that the whole of those works would be completed in the course of the year, and the Great Eastern district would then be connected with the north by a direct and nearly level line from March to Don caster. The connection between the Metropolitan and the London, Chatham, and Dover Railways at Farringdon-street was completed and opened for traffic on Ist Jan. last. Through booking arrange ments for passengers between the Chatham Com pany's system and the Great Northern were now in force, and goods and coal traffic would be commenced next month. The Hatfield and St. Alban's branch, six miles in length, was opened for traffic in Octo ber last. The high rate of interest for money had retarded issue of the company's 4 per cent. deben ture stock; £41,482 had been received on that ac count during the half. year. The revenue account for the half-year ending Dec. 31 showed that the gross receipts amounted to £1,045,371, and for the same half of 1864 to £970,578, showing an increase of £74,793. The gross expenditure amounted to £513,854, against £478,345 in the corresponding half of 1864, showing an increase of £35,509. The total net revenue amounted to £552,037, against £506,158, showing an increase of £45,879. After deducting from net revenue the fixed charges, in cluding interest, and preference dividends amount ing to £254,347, there remained £297,690 for ordi nary dividend, yielding on the Great Northern original stock a dividend at the rate of £8 15s. per cent. per annum, or £4 7s. 6d. per cent. for the half-year, on the B stock £3 per cent. for the half year, and on the A stock £5 15s per cent. for the half-year, leaving a balance of £323. The increase in the coaching traffic was £27,725, in the goods traffic £27,517, and in the minerals £21,792. The relaying of the line with heavier rails and chains and more numerous sleepers was being carried on. A bill had been deposited for vesting the Great Northern loop line in the Great Northern and Great Eastern Companies jointly and equally, and for powers to construct a new line to shorten the com munication between Spalding and Lincoln; the length would be nearly 29 miles, and the capital £360,000, to be provided equally between the two companies. A bill had been deposited to give effect to the agreement entered into last year between the Great Northern, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire, and West Riding and Grimsby Companies, for the transfer of the West Riding undertaking to the two former companies; the portion of the West Riding Company's line between Doncaster and Wakefield was opened on the Ist instant ; also a bill to vest the Liverpool Central Station Railway and the new line from Manchester to Liverpool in the Great Northern, Midland, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Companies on equal terms in all respects. The report of Mr. Sturrock, the locomotive engineer, stated that 4,123,837 trai n miles had been run during the half year at a cost of £205,199, or 11.911 per mile against 3,805,685 miles at an expense of £182,647, or 11.51 d. per mile in 1864, or an excess train mileage of 318,152 miles had been worked at a charge of £22,552.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts aro admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the'destitute will be offered in your behalf.

Of the entire length of 40 miles 232 had already been opened as a double line ; the permanent way had been laid in new work on eight miles, and the earthwork was ready for permanent way on 6k miles. It was expected that the doubling would be completed during the 31st gross earnings for the 31st of December last t h h a e ff-y p e re a s r e . nt en y di e n a g r. amounted to £37,914, or £36 9s.

The Cattle Plague. .....-....-,..,.___,._.. BERKSHIRE. The cattle "plag,ue has now broken out in the south-western part of the county. At the chief office of the County Constabulary at Reading a re , port was recAved on Thursday that cattle at Alder maston had been , attacked with the disease which has generally proved so fatal. With the view of checking the spread of the malady in the district, Mr. George Shackel, of Erleigh Court Farm, and Mr. Gill, of Beenham, visited the owners of the infect e d ca t t l e i n B een h am, an d upon their own personal responsibility, arranged to compensate the owners of the infected cattle, so that the same might be immediately destroyed to check the spread of the disease. The owners, the vicar of the parish, and Mr. Linnell, a farmer, accepted the offer of their agricultural friends, and the animals seized with the rinderpest were destroyed on Saturday morning. CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND THE ISLE OF ELY. The amount subscribed to the " Willingham Cattle Plague Relief" amounted on Saturday to about £l5O. A similar fund formed for Cottenham had also attained a total of £l4O. During the past week four beasts have died on the farm of Mr. Dear, at Elsworth. The disease still lingers about Whittlesey, but very few fresh attacks are re ported. During the past week only one fresh case has been reported in the March, Doddington, and Winiblington districts. CORNWALL. During the past week nine deaths occurred in the Truro district, five at Penhallow, four at Rosewar rick, five at St. Erith, and about a dozen in other parts of the county. The plague seems to be abat ing in Cornwall, the number of cases reported to be under treatment being considerably below the weekly return that has been made for several months. RAILWAYS TO THE PACIFIC. Lieut.-Coloael J. H. Simpson, of the United States Engineer Corps, has made a report to the Interior Department in reference to the Pacific rail roads now in process of construction. In compli ance with the act of Congress of July 1, 1862, and the several amendatory acts thereof, six companies have accepted the provisions of the law, and have organised to build the roads and branches. The Union Pacific Company is authorised to build a road from the 100th meridian to the western boun dary of Nevada territory, and also from the west ern boundary of lowa to the 100th meridian. W. B. Ogden, of the Illinois Central, is President of the Board of Commissioners, and Gen. John A. Dix of the Road. The construction began at Omaha, and the grad ing of 100 miles has been completed. It was expected that 60 miles of the road would be completed by the latter part of last month, and 100 miles by July. The eastern division of this road has also built 60 miles of road, but it does not seem to have satisfied the demands of the Interior Department. Some difficulty seems to have arisen between its manage ment and the road under Gen. Dix. The Board of Commissioners reported that the portion of the road completed was not perfect, and its President has promised to reform it. In case it should reach the 100th meridian before the Union Pacific, it may continue its track until it meets the Central Pacific. No bonds will be issued until this meridian is reached. The Central Pacific road runs east from Sacramento and will meet the Union branch at or near Salt Lake City. The engineering on this work will be stupendous. On leaving Sacramento it will cross the Sierra Nevadas. The first 50 miles after leaving Sacramento to carry it up to the western slope of the Sierra Nevadas, attaining an elevation of 2,300 feet, and including some of the heaviest and most expensive grading of the whole line. In some places, between Colfax and New castle, the cuttings are about 70 feet deep and from 800 to 1,200 feet long, through hard rock or cement. The number of labourers now at work is 10,000. Daring the present year the company hopes to reach a point called the Tuchee River, 120 miles from Sacramento, 7,000 feet above tide-water. Two tunnels are being built near the summit of the Sierras, one 1,600 feet long, the other 900 feetlong. The labourers are working night and day. The Atchison branch is about to complete the first sec tion of 20 miles, and promise to build the road in the most substantial manner. The Sioux City and Pacific Railroad is authorised to build a road from Sioux City to connect with the main line of the Union Pacific. The Burlington and Missouri Com pany is authorised to run from the Missouri River to some branch on the Union Pacific, this side of the 100th meridian. Lands, but no bonds, will be given by Congress. The Northern Pacific road has been organised. It proposes to run from Lake Superior, near the 45th parallel, to Puget's Sound, with a branch by way of Columbia River to Port land, Oregon, the latter to join the main line not more than 300 miles from the western terminus. The whole road must be built by July, 1876, and 50 miles within the first two years. It will thus be seen that the great work of build ing a railway from the Atlantic to the Pacific is rapidly progressing. We presume the first con nection will be made at Salt Lake City. The Union Line, which seems to be making the most headway, will connect the eastern cities with the western by means of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway at St. Louis—which will thus be in railroad impor tance the main city in America. Its friends indulge the hope that it will be finished in four or five years. The Northern line will probably be finished in ten years. This will be important in the fact that it will absorb the British American trade. The project of a Southern branch seems to have been abandoned for the pre sent; but after the South has become pacified, and order has been restored in Mexico, we may hope to have a line from New Orleans through Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, controlling the vast silver countries. In time we shall have them all, and when that time comes, New York-10 days from London by sea and 10 days from San Francisco by steam—will command the commerce of the East and the West—of Europe, America, and Asia. The articles of incorporation of a new railroad company called the " La Crescent, Rochester, and Yankton Railroad Company," had been filed with the Minnesota Secretary of State. The object, as the name indicates, is to construct a railroad from the Mississippi river through the southern tier of Minnesota counties to the Missouri river. The route of the road is described through Houston, Fillmore, Olmsted, Mower, Freeborn, Faribault, Martin, Jackson, Noble, and Rock counties, and the main line is designed to run through the flour ishing young cities of La Crescent, Chatfield, High Forest, Austin, Albert Lea, and Blue Earth City, thence to Yankton, on the Missouri, with a branch line from High Forest to Rochester. The capital of the company is to be $10,000,00 0 . Governor Lincoln, of Massachusetts, in 1828, sent a message to the Legislature of that State upon the subject of the construction of a, railroad from Boston to Providence. In that message he esti mated the number of passengers per annum at 50,000 ; last year they amounted to over 2,000,000. The receipts he estimated would reach $84,000 per annum. Last year they reached $1,221,104. The annual expenses he put down at $15,400, while last year they footed up $854,770, and the net income $68,000 to $366,000. The venerable ex-Governor must . not be a little interested in comparing the es timates which he then submitted with the actual results, as stated above. Letters received in New York from Charleston, S. C., represent that there are still 2,000,000 bales of cot ton in the South. They also state that there is great ac tivity hi the sale of this product, and that, notwithstanding the impression generally prevalent as to its scarcity, it is steadily being brought into the market. The prospect of securing a fair yield of cotton in the interior of the State is encouraging, and the freedmen are generally ind us t r i ous and self-supporting. CUMBERLAND.. Siuce the outbreak in November there have been 2,500 cases of rinderpest in Cumberland, according to the returns prepared up to Thursday night. Of these 500 have occurred during the past week. The statistics stand thus :—Original number of heads, 5,366 ; died of the plague, 1,301 ; destroyed, 409 ; slaughtered for market, 599 ; now affected, 376 ; recovered, 400; remaining healthy, 2,281. At a meeting of the central committee of the Cumberland Rinderpest Association at Carlisle on Saturday, Sir R. Briscoe in the chair, regret was expressed that clause 8 of the Government Bill, giving retrospec tive compensation, had been withdrawn. The chair man said he did not see what they could do as an association now in stamping out the disease and there was serious loss caused by the delay in conse quence of the uncertainty as to whether those who slaughtered (now should be recouped by the pro posed rate. Ten days ago it was estimated at the county meeting that the value of the cattle which it would be necessary to put down was £9,000. This week it was £14,700, in another week he sup posed it would be £16,000 or £17,000. It was mentioned by Captain Johnson that in spite of the rules of a district association formed in Brampton district, some farmers were trying Worms's treat ment, instead of putting down their diseased stock. The committee adjourned for a week. EDINBURGH. A meeting of stockowners, cattle agents, and fleshers was held in Queen-street-hall, to consider the Cattle Plague Bills. Mr. Snow (chairman) moved that the meeting cordially approve the leading principles of the Government Bill. Mr. Swan moved that while, for a limited time, the transit of store cattle should be suppressed under the provisions of the Act, the meeting is unanimously of opinion that fat cattle, under proper regulations, should be allowed access to the public markets of Scotland for immediate slaughter. Mr. Thyne moved that an amendment ought to be made on clause 16, making the provision for the slaughter of animals in direct contact with diseased stock com pulsory, instead of leaving it in the hands of local authorities. Mr. R. Carmichael moved that the arrangement for associating practical men with the county authorities should also apply to burghs. The Duke of Buccleuch has received a communica tion from the Secretary for War to the effect that should the Yeomanry not be called out this year in consequence of the losses from cattle disease her Majesty's Government will nevertheless be prepared to continue to the members of such corps the exemp tion from the horse tax. MALTON. The reports from the East and North Riding dis tricts received up to Saturday night show that the plague is still increasing not only in old localities, but m new places. The moderate elevations of the Wolds and the Howardeans which were so singu larly and so long exempt, while the plague was raging in the valleys and on the heights, are now attacked,—Scagglethorpe, Settrington, and Birdsall Wolds being the places attacked. All remedies seem useless, the proportion of recoveries being very small, and farmers believe now in isolation, disin fectants, and slaughter ; in fact, the course at first adopted. After being " stamped out" and a free dom from plague for several weeks, another out break has occurred in Dalton last week, proving very quickly fatal. NORFOLK. A meeting of the county Cattle Plague Associa tion was held on Saturday, at Norwich, Sir T. Beau champ in the chair. The chairman stated that the value of the stock for which compensation had been claimed during the last fortnight was £3,018, and the amount allowed had been £1,546. The latter total showed a diminution as com pared with the previous fortnight, but he was afraid this could not be attributed to a decrease of the disease. The new capital fund of the association had now been constituted as follows : By rate, £9,250 ; by subscriptions, £9oo—total, £10,150. The first rate levied produced £8,750, so that the second rate had yielded about £5OO more than the first. With reference to the bills now before Par liament on the subject of Government compensation, &c., the association would call a special meeting to determine the future course which it should pursue. STAFFORDSHIRE (NORTH). Mr. Worms's treatment is being tried in many places in North Staffordshire, but nothing certain is as yet known of the result. Mr. Swift, of Tren tham, who within the last few weeks has lost two thirds of a herd of 62 animals, administered Mr. Worms's remedy on Sunday, and the following was the state of affairs at his farm on Thursday-42 dead, 11 affected, 2 better under Mr. Worms's treat ment, 5 cured by laudanum, having previously taken Mr. Worms's medicine, and three not attacked. At Clayton two diseased cows had been treated on Mr. Worms's principle, and seemed likely to recover. The following particulars refer to the treatment of a cow belonging to Mr. Dawson, of Newcastle. The animal was very ill and was supposed to have o n a entered y, on the last stage of the disease, wh en , on md a dose of Mr. Worms's medicine was administered. On the following day the breathing of the animal was alleviated, but it still continued very ill. The medicine was continued every day, and on Friday all symptoms of the complaint had disappeared, but it was considered possible that the animal might, after all, sink from the exhaustion produced by the disease. The following remedy is said to have been found to be efficacious both in Staffordshire and Cheshire :—" Dissolve 51b. of hyposulphate of soda in 100 gals. of water and give as an ordinary drink." SUFFOLK. The Ixworth, Beccles, Bungay, and Framling ham districts continue clear of the disease. Two more cows, making seven in all, having been at tacked at Mr. Walter Craske's Abbey farm ; both were shot by order of the local inspector. Some Revivals in the United States. In the United States of America where no relig,i s on is sustained or protected by the Government, but where all denominations of worshippers are equally free to labour and pray for the spead of their doc trines and practices among men, it is natural that there should be seasons of special attention to reli gious subjects. For there the mind is free, and it is peculiarly necessary that the mind should work freely if you would have it work religiously. In no department of thought are men so easy to be per suaded, if right means are employed, and so hard to be coerced, as in matters of religion. The very nature of religion, which is in all men the most exalted and enthusiastic devotion of the soul to its supreme ideal of excellence—implies that it must be a free-will offering, and that all attempts to govern, limit, or force its growth are as futile as the effort to guide the wind or prescribe the pattern for a flower. But it is because religion free there that seasons of special interest and widespread conver sion are natural ; for revival, labour, and repose in religion correspond to enterprise, toil, and. rest in the business of life, and to growth, power, and de cay in nature. It is a law of the soul as of the body, that it cannot continue long in any one sphere of action or enjoyment ; but that as rest succeeds labour, so coldness shall ensue upon passion, and emotion, if moderate, shall give place to contempla tion, or if immoderate and too long sustained, to indifference, or even slumber. This is specially true of religious emotion and thought. Seasons of indif ference to religion involve consequences which in themselves afford the strongest argument for Chris tian revivals. Under the power of these arguments, as they have been brought home by preachers like Edwards, Wesley, Whitefield, or Spurgeon, who were inspired by an undoubting faith in the truth of all they uttered, the tide of thought has been at times turned so exclusively to matters of religious concern that the business of this life became subor dinate to that of the eternal life, and the whole topic and burden of men's thoughts were the con cerns of the soul. But this condition of religious exaltation must necessarily be highly emotional in its character, and, like all emotional states, it must be transient in its duration though permanent in many of its effects. Nothing is more sensible than that men and communities should at times neglect their ordinary business and pleasures to devote their soul's best energies to the consideration of inte rests which are so vastly more important and en during. Nor is anything more in harmony with the laws of God than that, having complied with this outreaching of the soul after the Infinite One, they should return to the humble duties of life, as did the disciples from the Mount of Transfiguration, bringing with them not the rapt of glory of the vision, but those subdued and permanent effects, which shall be " Not too good For human nature's daily food," and which they can carry with them into every walk of life. Because Christian revivals are seasons of emotion, like all emotional periods, like the sor row of bereavement, the joy of the bridal, the en thusiasm of a great success, or the shame of a sore defeat, or whatever moves us to tears or deeply stirs the fountains of the soul, they must, like all these, by the limits of the soul's capacities be both tran sient in their immediate duration, and permanent in their softened, subdued, and secondary effects. Extravagances have attended the most powerful re vival in past times, and are doubtless incident to all emotional seasons, which extend to all classes of minds. But these argue nothing against revivals which the eccentricities of emotion would not argue, with equal force, against all displays of feeling. Where emotion is called for, no want of grace or good taste in the manner of displaying it is so in excusable as the utter want of it, manifested in heartlessness or insensibility. Whether the present religious interest in the United States will extend into the entire community and become such a gene ral awakening as marked the periods to which we have referred, or whether its benefits will be very limited, is still in the future. In some respects the time seems opportune. Great religious awakenings have generally followed closely upon great political revolutions or financial revulsions. As with the in dividual, so with the community, when the heart is lifted up with success it is filled with the pride of life, but when thousands of homes are desolated by affliction, and millions of hearts are oppressed by financial revulsion and disaster, when, as now, a whole land has been swept over by the sword which is the effect and embodiment of human passion and lwatrs there f be crime, and—when the effects of national and indi vidual wickedness come home with force to the hearts and consciences of men—at suc h times the thespirit soul, is w a o n n d t t t o he br w oo ord d ovgoeresthfeortrou bled Itisstated in the Columbus, Georgia papers tthata in that State, tog colony o is to Mexico.
