AT THE COUNCIL CHAMBER, WHITE HALL, the 24th day of July, 1865, by tho Lords of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council. Present—Lord President, Sir George Grey, Bart., Mr. Milner Gibson. Whereas by an act passed in the session of the eleventh and twelfth y ears o f h er p r es e nt M a j es ty's re ign, intit u led " An Act to prevent until the Ist day of September, 1850, and to the end of the then next session of Parliament, the spreading of contagious or infectious disorders among sheep, cattle, and other animals," and which has since been from time to time continued by divers subsequent acts, it is (amongst other things) enacted that it shall be lawful for the Lords and others of her Majesty's Privy Council, or any two or more of them from time to time to make such orders and regulations as to them may seem necessary, for the purpose of prohibiting or regulating the removal to or from such parts or places as they may de signate in such order or orders, of sheep, cattle, horses, swine, or other animals, or of meat, skins, hides, horns, hoofs, or other part of any animals, or of hay, straw, fodder, or other articles likely to propagate infection ; and also for the purpose of purifying any yard, stable, outhouse, or other place, or any waggons, carts, carriages, or other vehicles ; and also for the purpose of directing how any animals dying in a diseased state, or any animals, parts of animals, or other things seized under the provisions of this act, are to be disposed of ; and also for th® purpose of Causing notices to be given of the appearance of any dis order among sheep, cattle, or other animals, and to make any other orders or regulations for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of the said act, and again to revoke, alter, or vary any such o r d ers or r egu l a tions ; and that all provisions for any of tho p ur p oses a f oresa id in any such order or orders contained shall have the like force and effect as if the same had been inserted in the said act; and that all persons offending against the said act shall for each and every offence forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding £2O, or such smaller sum as the said Lords or others of her Majesty's Privy Council may in any such case by such order direct. And whereas a contagious or infectious disorder, of which the nature is at present uncertain, has lately appeared, and now prevails among cattle within the metropolis and in the neighbourhood thereof, and it is expedient to take Measures for preventing such disorders from spreading, Now, therefore, the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council do hereby, by virtue and in exercise of the powers given by the said recited act, and by the several acts continuing the same aforesaid, order as follows :- 1. If at the date of the publication of this order in the "London G aze tt e ," there shall be any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, or ox labouring under any contagious or infectious disorder in the possession or cust o d y o f any cowkeeper, dairyman, or dairywoman, or of any milkman or milk woman, or vendor or purveyor of milk, or of any dealer in cattle whatsoever within the City of London or within the limits of the metropolitan police district, or if at any time hereafter, while this present order shall continue in force and unrovoked, any' cow, heifer, bull, bullock, or ox, being in the possession or custody of any such person as afore said within the said City of London or within the metro politan police district shall be seized or attacked with, or be found labouring or suffering under, any such contagious or infectious disorder, notice of the existence of such dis order, or of the first appearance of such disorder in or among the cattle belonging to or in custody of any such Person as aforesaid, sh a ll immediately thereupon be given Y the person in whose possession or custody such diseased animals or animal shall be, to the clerk of her Majesty's Most H onoura b le Privy Council in waiting at the office of her Majesty's Privy Council at Whitehall, in the county of Middlesex ; and it shall be lawful for the said clerk of her Majesty's Privy Council, and for all such persons as Shall by writing under hi s h an d au th or ise in that behalf thereupon, and at all reasonable times thereafter, to in spect or examine all or any such diseased animals or ani ,l3;ial, and t o report to the Lords of her Ma j esty ' s P r i v y ljeuncil all such information and particulars as to the na ture or character of such disorder as may seem to him ex- Pedient for the pm.pose of enabling proper regulations to / ?! 3 made for preventing or checking the further propaga tion and increase of such disorder. tin. Every person offending against this order, and omit eg to give such notice or to permit such inspection and .amivation as aforesaid, shall for every such offence for lett an sum not exceeding twenty pounds, which the jus .,ce- before whom he or she shall be convicted of such offence may think fit to impose.

The objects of the Companyare, first, to construct a rail way about nine miles in length from the Old Port of Mar seilles to Podostat, to afford increased facilities for the com merce and manufactures of the town and port ; secondly, to acquire land on both sides of the line throughout its length for building and other purposes, to which great value will be given by the construction of the railway. The reputation of Marseilles as the first maritime city of France is well known ; second only to Paris in population and wealth, its position and capabilities give it the com mand of French commerce in the Mediterranean. Within the last 10 years Marseilles has been placed in direct railway communication with Paris and all parts of France ; magnificent docks and warehouses have been constructed, but great and rapid as those now works have been, they are still far behind the requirements of its ever increasing trade. The ohi qearters of the- town are beingdernolitthed to make room for handsome streets and parliebuffdings. The population thus displaced are driven to the suburbs, more especially towards the south, whero the lands of the Com pany aro situate. The proposed Railway, after leaving the port and town of 300,000 inhabitants, will pass through the southern suburb, which contains a population of 50,000, and foJw the valley to the sea, at the Madrague do Moutrodon, m thence it will bo continued for three miles along the coast to Podestat, affording sites for the erection of factories, with access to the sea, and direct railway communication with the town and port, and with the Paris, Lyons, and Mediterranean lines, by a junction with the proposed now branch of the latter to the Place Castellano. _ _ _ The Company have contracted for the purchase of about 1,200,000 square metres of land (about 300 English acres) situated on both sides of the proposed railway between the town and the Madrague de Montredon, 140,000 metres of which will be required for the construction of the line and stations, leaving 1,060,000 metros to be sold for the erec tion of first-class residences. It has been estimated that, on the completion of the rail way, the whole of this land will be readily sold at tho price of at least 20fr. per metro, at which rate it will pro duce 21,200,0001 r., or £848,000. The Company have also contracted for the purchaso of a very large tract of ground beyond the Madrague do Montredon, through which the railway will pass to Podestat. The average cash cost to the Company of the land above referred to is only 51fr. per metre, including the houses already built thereon, and including also upwards of 10,000,000 metres of land (about 2,500 acres) on the coast line for three miles beyond the proposed terminus at Po destat, which will thus be acquired by the Company free of cost, and which will be made available at some future time by an extension of the railway and the formation of roads. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be had of the secretary at the offices of the Company ; or of the bankers, brokers, and solicitors. But no applica tion will be entertained unless the deposit of £1 per share on the number applied for has been duly paid to the Com pany's bankers. In the event of no allotment being made to the applicant, the deposit will be promptly returned in full. MARSEILLES EXTENSION RAILWAY and LAND COMPANY (Limited).

The first Coupon of Interest on the Bonds of the General Debt being due the Ist (13th) July, 1865, the bearers of the old Bonds drill receive from the Commissioner-delegate at the time of verification of their bonds, special coupons re presenting the interest due to them in virtue of the law of 19th (31st) March, 1865. These Coupons will be payable at the Imperial Ottoman Bank at Constantinople, London, and Paris, on presenta tion, except the special Coupons relating to the arrears of interest on the Ten-years' Serghis, and due the Ist (13th) January, and Ist (13th) July, 1866, which will be paid on their respective due dates in accordance with Art. 7.

On the expiration of this second period the operations of the conversion will bo de clared closed. In order to facilitate the operation of the conversion, and to avoid the necessity of issuing Provisional Certifi cates, and sending the original bonds for verification to Constantinople, the Imperial Ottoman Government has appointed, besides the Commissioners-delegate, verificators to attend at London and Paris during the whole period appointed for the conversion, to verify the bonds pre sented for conversion. Securities presented elsewhere than at Constantinople, London, and Paris will be transmitted for verification to London, except those presented at Alexandria, which will be sent to Constantinople. Definitive Bonds of the General Debt of the Ottoman empire, with coupons for 37 years, now in course of manu facture, will be delivered as soon as ready in exchange for the securities presented for conversion. In the meantime the securities presented will receive, at the time of verification, an official stamp and the signature of the Commissioner-delegate attesting their verification, to be exchanged by the bearers for the definitive bonds of the general debt. Forms of application for conversion may bo obtained at all the offices where the conversion will take place. Copies of the laws may be obtained at the same places, and also at the offices of the solicitors, Messrs. Baxter, Rose, Norton, and Co., No. 6, Victoria-street, Westminster.

Claxton, still holding a clear lead, which he maintained notwithstanding the vigorous challenge of Suspicion opposite the enclosure, won by threo parts of a length, Redmiro being the same distance in rear of the second. Claremont was a bad fourth, Veluti fifth, Rose noath and Prince Plausible sixth and seventh, the last named a long way in the rear.

Round ing the bottom turn Scamander quitted Spring Gun, and, upon entering the straight, joined issue With Moulsoy, the pair coming on to Op distance, where Lord. Bateman's horse was beaten and Scamander was joined by Spring Gun ; but Mr. Cartwright's horse in aiew - strides gave way to Moose, who at once challenged Spring Gun, and the pair at the hall distance commenced a head-and-head race till within a few strides of the post, when Moose got his head in front, and gained the judge's fiat by a short head; Moul three Faith, ti l Ths e 1 I n ,he g 4eci t yw h t r s wi : f o r nB o lese m rtn :lo b : and hibbse .i n. .s.O.

RAILWAY AND OTHER COMPANIES. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. The directors of this company have resolved to recommend to the proprietors, at the half-yearly general meeting, on the 17th inst., that the dividend for the half-year ending 30th June, 1865, should be at the rate of 4i per cent. per annum on the ordinary capital stock of the company, being the same rate as was declared for the half-year ending 30th June, ,1884. 31ARYPORT AND CARLISLE. The directors of thu company intend to recom mend to the shareholders at the ensuing meeting on the 23d inst. a dividend at the rate of 9 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending the 30th of June last. LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN. The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Coleman-street buildings, Moorgate-street—Mr. J. Clay, M.P., in the chair. Mr. LAVER having read the notice convening the meeting, the report, an abstract of which has ap peared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said he had little to add, remarking that a very gratifying increase had taken place in the traf fic. The traffic for the past half-year, as compared with the corresponding half of last year, showed an increase of £1,270; and the traffic for the first five weeks of the current half year, as compared with the corresponding five weeks last year, showed an increase of very nearly £l,OOO. Now, this was a more gratifying feature than they had to notice for some time past. The very great difficulty of getting their debentures taken up as others fell due had recently been experienced to such an extent that they had to pay away their weekly receipts as the debentures came in. They could readily borrow the money from their bankers to pay the dividends, but if that difficulty should continue the renewals of debentures must be met by another expedient. He thought it right to mention this matter with the view of calling the attention of the share h o lders to it at the next half-yearly meeting of the sharehold ers. (Hear, hear.) He thought it would be well for the shareholders to consider whether a well secured 5 per cent. debenture s tock was an invest ment worth their attention. The interest on the debentures of the company amoun ted to £7,000 a year, which was the first charge on a fixe . d rental of £26,000 a year. H e thong security could be better than they bad to offer. The competition from all parts of the world had no doubt enhanced the value of money, and had caused the difficulty he had mentioned. Mr. LAVER seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which was agreed to unanimously. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Captain WARREN, a formal resolution was unani mously passed declaring dividends for the half-year ending the 30th June last at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on £3,062 stock B. ; also the dividends at the rate of 6 per annum on the £31,850 stock A ; also the dividends at the rate of 5 per cent., together with 1 per cent. on account of arrears, making 6 per cent. per annum on £247,738 stock B, subject to the usual indemnity to the directors in respect of the amount of arrears, the dividends and arrears being payable on the 21st inst. Capt. D. Warren and Mr. P. W. Barlow, the retiring directors, were re-elected, and also Mr. C. Whetham, the retiring auditor. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors for their attention to the interests of the company. DANUBE AND BLACK SEA. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Abingdon-street, Westmin ster ; Mr. W. Price, M.P., in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in I he Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said the company had sustained a loss by the death of their late chairman, Sir S. Cunard, and the directors had passed a resolution of sympathy, which had been conveyed to his family. With respect to the harbour dues he had told them at former meet ings that the question, although not settled, was on the point of being settled, and on one, the last occa sion, that it would be settled by the next meeting, -and he had but to repeat that statement now. The directors had.waited - an Earl Russell. FliA lordship entered most cordially into their views, And expressed his -willingness to assist them.

He believed they were nearer to a settlement now than ever they were before. Tho traffic was increasing, and it was impossible to come to any other conclusion than that they had suc ceeded to a great extent in diverting the trade of the Danube to the railway, and they might con sider that the whole of the trade would soon follow. If the receipts would only continue to increase in the same rate as they had in the past year their suc cess would soon be complete. There had been a large increase in the local grain traffic, and it was a matter of congratulation that there was no pros_ . pect of that traffic being taken away from them. Mr. LEWIS seconded the motion. In answer to a question, it was stated that the total receipts for the month of July amounted to £6,000, against £2,500 for the same month in 1864. The report was then adopted. On the motion of Mr. TIPPING, seconded by Mr. FORD, a resolution expressing regret and condo lence at the _death of Mr. Samuel Cunard wag carried. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

The Secretary (Mr. Weston) read the report, which stated that there had been an increase upon the half-year. With regard to the Railway Pro vident Society, upwards of £3,000 had been paid to the members, their widows and orphans, since the first call. The George Stephenson fund was gra dually increasing, £3OO. having been deposited with the bankers. The committee believed that by recent changes in the officers of the society the ex_ penditure would be materially reduced, and con cluded by urging the necessity of uniting to support the association for the benefit of their fellow railway. enzploye's. The financial statement showed the bal ance to be :—General account, £256 ; George Stephenson fund, £296 ; and Railway Provident Society, £5l; total, £602, of which £257 was placed on deposit and the remainder at the Imperial Bank.. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the meeting upon the improved position of the association, there having been an in crease of fees and a corresponding decrease of ex penses. He hoped they would all work together in promoting the prosperity of the association. Mr. CLARKE seconded the resolution for the adop tion of the report, which, after a long discussion, was carried unanimously. The meeting was then made special, when some alterations were made in the rules, and the pro ceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. Return of the Orissa to Bombay through a Storm, (From the Bombay Gazette of July 11.) No little excitement was created in the Fort yes terday afternoon, when the flagstaff announced a steamer from the south, and that steamer the Orissa, which left this on the 24th June with the mails and passengers for Aden, Suez, and England. Of course all sorts of conjectures were afloat as to her return, and the wildest guesses indulged in. It appears that immediately after leaving Bombay the Orissa experienced heavy weather, and made but 150 miles in the first 24 hours. This bad wea ther increased to such an extent that her daily aver age became from 70 to 80 miles. On the sth of July, when off Socrota, the wind and sea increased fearfully, and from the thickness of the weather it became apparent that the vessel was running into a cyclone. After consulting with his officers, Capt. Curling decided on turning the ship's head in the direction of Bombay. We give the official account of the disaster below, merely remarking that the passengers were reduced to two quarts of water per diem, and that no casualty beyond the loss of a lifeboat occurred. The Orissa neither saw the out going mail on Sunday nor any other steamer, and great anxiety in consequence will no doubt result in England, as there will be no means of telegraph ing for the next ten or twelve days. The mails and passengers proceed on Wednesday evening by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Baroda. "G. F. Henry, Superintendent Peninsular and Orien tal Steam Navigation Company, Bombay. Dear Sir,--It is with great re gr et I h ave t o in form you of the unfortunate circumstances that have compelled me to bring the vessel back to Bombay. ." From the 30th June to the 3d July we encoun tered a succession of very heavy weather, with high head sea, ship pitching and labouring heavily, and increasing in violence each day, so that during the above period we had made but 450 miles. On the 3d July the ship made a quantity of water, and from the heavy lurching burst up the bunker bilge boards, the coals falling through into the bilges and chokng the pumps ; these were repaired, but the ship con tinued making a large quantity of water. The bun.. kers again gave way and choked the pumps, when Mr. Henderson, the chief engineer, requested that the ship might be kept steady, and on severalocca- occa sions she was put head to wind, that repairs might be effected to the bilge and the pumps cleared. ,On this occasion it took the deck and engine -room pumps seven hours to reduce the water sufficiently to allow us to proceed on our course. On the morning of the sth inst., lat. 12.52, lon. 54.58, the gale had much increased from the S.W., blowing in furious gusts, a falling barometer and indications of an approaching cyclone, into the centre of which by continuing my course W.N.W. would lave led. I therefore deemed it advisable to put her head to the eastward before the ship became unmanageable, as she was making but little way, and scarcely steering. At the same time it was with difficulty the pumps could be kept working, and when in full force were barely able to keep the water under. " Having taken those precautions I held a con sultation with my officers and the naval agent, Capt. Lloyd, who unanimously agreed with me that, taking into consideration I had but four days' coal on board, being short of water from injury to the condenser, the ship making so much water and the pumps frequently becoming choked, there would be little chance of reaching Aden, and a very great risk of serious mishap to the ship and those on board if we stood on. " I may add that there were other nautical men among the passengers, who concurred with me that, in returning to Bombay, I was but consulting the interests of the company and the safety of the passengers. " Permit me to state that the above advice was not acted upon until every effort had been made to discover the course of the leak, and every approach able spot in the ship had been carefully examined. " The passengers rendered great assistance in removing cargo to trim the ship and also at the deck pumps, and of the officers of the ship I cannot speak too highly, as they were unremitting in their exer tions.—l am, &c., R. CURLING, Commander." ORANGE TREES AS AN INVESTMENT.—During the last few years the supply of oranges has been greatly improved in Franco, and amongst the new or improved so urces aro Cannes and the Gulf of Juan in the Mediterra nean, nearly the whole neighbourhood of which is being converted into orange plantations. It is said that Paris alone consumes annually about five millions of oranges grown there ; and there is a large trade besides in orange flowers, which are the produce not of the swoet, but of the bitter or Seville orange. At present the price of orange flowers at Cannes is not more than 4d. a lb., but it is said to be on the riso. In good situations a tree 15 years of ago will yield about 161 b. of flowers each year, and in an orangery by the Gulf of Juan 1,550 trees of 17 years' growth give on an average above 10 tons of flowers. Besides these flowers these trees yield a certain amount of fruit, the result of the blossoms which appear after the flower harvest—for the orange tree has a , succession of flowers, ripe and green fruit as well as blossoms being f req uently seen together on the same tree—=and also athird item of profit in the form of prunings and clippings, which fetch Bs. a cwt., and are used for the production of inferior scents.—The Grocer. ug. 0
