There was no doubt on our side of the sincerity and cordiality of our greetings ; we displayed our feelings in all the most approved fashions, we subscribed large sums, we organised banquets, and we cheered and shouted in true British style. Still as these exhibitions were not familiar to the Frenchmen, it was not certain that they would give them their full meaning, and accordingly it is gratifying to find that they are de lighted with the warmth and cordiality of their reception. They seem, indeed, to have been somewhat surprised to find the grave phleg matic Englishman so transformed, and their ideas of insular coldness, awkwardness, and bad cooking are considerably modified by their recent experience. The change is not entirely due to the removal of national prejudice ; but the fact is that the Englishman at home, in the midst of his own associations, and doing the honours of his own country to a welcome guest, is very different from the stray traveller or pleasure seeker, who finds himself suddenly in a world which is strange to him, among manners and customs different from his own, and who tries to hide his awkwardness and embarrassment under a covering of stiffness and reserve. In this attempt he is successful enough to present a gruff and rigid contrast to French courtesy and gaiety, so that the typical Englishman among the middle or lower classes is anything but an attrac tive mortal. The higher ranks of society who have travelled more and mixed freely with foreigners understand each other better ; but there is no ques.- tion that the long antagonism of England and France was partly due to mutual misunderstanding of the national character. The wonderful improve ment in the means of communication has done very much to clear away the mists that overclouded our intercourse, and it is worthy of notice that Eng lishmen who have lived long in France or French men who have lived long in England always speak warmly of their adopted country. Recent political events have combined to chain England and France nearer together, and the civilisation of both is sufficiently advanced to induce them to make common cause against the aggressive and selfish spirit that charac terises the policy of some other nations. Such inci dents as the:meeting of the fleets do great good. They show to the world that the alliance of England and France is not merely a political expedient of the Go vernments, but is founded on an identity of interests and convictions. The two great Western nations are the pioneers of progress, they are the guardians of civilisation, and the open enemies of that theory of divine right which is upheld in other parts of Europe. As long as they are cordially united, it will need a bold adversary to provoke them to extremities. Either would separately be a formidable opponent, but conjointly they can keep the boldest and most unscrupulous in check. The correspondents of the Paris journals express these feelings very warmly, and speak in glowing terms of the enthusiasm of their hosts at Portsmouth. No single incident occurred to mar the festivities of the occasion. Gaiety and rejoicing were the order of the day, and even our fiickle English skies con sented to smile on so auspicious an occasion. 4 4 There is no sort of courtesy and attention," says i a correspondent of the Op inion Nationale, " which has not been shown to our offi ces. All houses were spontaneously opened to them,and the, people shout, applaud, and manifest their j o y w i th an expansiveness and a fury which have nothing British." Thoroughly British, however, was the heartiness with which the welcome was given, an d the energy with which the details were carried out. The real goodwill shown on the occasion could not be mistaken, nor could it be set down to obligatory courtesy. Our continental friends will have learned by their visit that enthusiasm is not impossible even in the colder English climate, and the pleasant exchange of mutual courtesies and hospitalities shows that, in some important particulars, both French and English have made a considerable ad vance on former generations. Yesterday a special meeting of the Court of Com mon Council was held at Guildhall, the chair being taken by the Lord Mayor. The object was to con sider the advisability of voting the sum of a thou sand pounds to compensate the owners of such cattle as may be taken off by the plague in the metropolis, and also for the establishment of sani toriums for the separation and cure of the cattle that are affected. These are very desirable objects, Mid it is not surprising that there should hate keen a very numerous attendance of members present. The Lord Mayor explained the purport of that as sembly having been called together, and observed that he had lately received a great number of letters on the subject of the cattle disease, and that he had sent them to the Markets' Committee, who had made the greatest exertions to perform their arduous task in an efficient manner. A little time ago a meeting was held at the Mansion-house for the pur pose of collecting the members of the Markets' Com mittee, the officers of health, and others concerned in the matter. These hadformed a committee, and bad an interview with the authorities at the Home office, in order to acquire more power than the Act of Parliament allowed to them. It is satisfactory to know that these powers hare been granted, so that no unnecessary obstacle is interposed to p(event the fulfilment of the necessary plans. The Lord Mayor very truly observed that it was not desirable for all the members of the Corporation to be out of town at once now that this dreadful cattle plague was raging and so much attention and advice were required. The Chairman of the Markets' Committee moved a re solution which embodied the proposals previously stated, of allowing a thousand pounds for compen sation to the owners, and of establishing sanito riums. He stated the various plans which had been adopted by the Markets' Committee since they had first received the intelligence of the spread of the cattle plague. The Islington Market has been dis infected, and the inspectors have been empowered to send additional men to prevent the diseased cattle from being sold for human food. It is to be regretted that the powers vested in these agents are not more extensive, for it appears that until the issue of the last Order in Council it was impossible to prevent the diseased cattle from entering the market, as it was a public one. The time that was lost in waiting for the tardy appear ' ance of these orders must have occasioned a great deal of damage, because the evil was gaining ground and rapidly spreading in all directions. It is, at all events, satisfactory to hear that the Inspectors are now making the best use of their time, as up to the other night as many as two thousand cows have been killed out of the sixteen thousand in the metropolis. We may form some idea of the nature and extent of the calamity, when we hear that the loss occasioned by the destruction of these cows amounts to thirty or forty thou sand pounds. The description of this plague here given is truly painful to peruse, and it shows the sad condition to which the calamity may reduce the owners of cattle in a short time. " Those who are in affluence at the be ginning of one week may be reduced to beggary by the sudden destruction of the animals on which they depended for their livelihood." Mr. GIBBINS ex plained the advantages which would be derived from the establishment of sanitoriums at some length, and certainly they seem to be very great and obvious ones. It generally happens now that the cowkeeper sends off the infected animals to the market, or to some slaughter-house where they can be killed, and great danger accrues from their passing through the streets for these purposes. If the diseased cattle were separated from the healthy ones, and the former sent off to a sanitorium, much benefit would result, and also the great desideratum would be gained of their being buried on the spot where they die. The advantage of establishing a compensation fund will be that the cowkeepers will be more likely to send their cattle when diseased to the sanitoriums or to inform the local authorities. Mr. GIBBINS truly remarked that London should not be behind hand in this emergency, and that if the Corporation headed the subscription list with a thousand pounds the cattle salesmen would sub scribe another thousand, and the public would come forward. He also adduced a painful reason for some decisive measures being taken, when he stated that if the disease were not speedily checked, butchers' meat would rise to such a price that the poor would be unable to purchase it at all. It is wisely determined by the committee that no one shall be recompensed who does not send in a timely intimation that his cattle are affected with the disease. This is quite right, because time is everything in such matters, and any delay is sure to be attended with serious consequences. The report which was read explained very fully what were the intentions of the committee. "Sanitoriums are to be established, compensation to be brought to bear, persons who have cows affected with the, disease are to give timely notice of the same, and the diseased cattle are to be sent in proper conveyances to the sanitoriums, where the medical men will try their hands at effecting a cure." These objects are laudable in the extreme; and as the committee think that from ten to fifteen thou- sand will be sufficient to meet the necessities of the case, it is to be hoped that the public will see the necessity of coming forward with the necessary amount. Remembering the liberality which has been displayed on former occasions of distress, such as the cotton famine for instance, there is no reason to doubt that many will be wanting in the present emergency. The motion was put and carried una nimously, and thus an undertaking has been inaugurated which promises to produce the best effects, and to meet the calamity that at present threatens us with increasing to a great extent, and whose continuance alone will create great misery if it does not exceed the present aggregate. Lord GRANVILLE has sent a letter io the Times, in which he relates the extent to which the calamity of the Cattle Plague has affected the animals on a farm in the Finchley-road. When the noble earl left England a month ago there were 130 cows in four sheds ; in the two largest and best managed he found yesterday only one cow remaining on his return. Lord GRANVILLE mentions that some people do not think this plague is the same as that which visited Coburg some years ago. The noble lord's bailiff has drawn up a statement of what took place at the farm during his absence, which will be no doubt of great service to those intimately concerned in the matter of the cattle plague. Mr. PANTER states his conviction that the " disease is atmospheric, and of a typhoid character." Every possible precaution was taken in this case of course, but to little avail, as the mor- tality was excessive, more than eighty having been lost. A neighbour a mile off also lost a large num ber of cows out of a fine herd. blr. PANTER'S treatment of one cow proved successful when he used stimulants, but in another case the same treat ment failed, so that it seems quite impossible to decide upon what plan it is most advisable to follow, and this calamity may be said to be one that baffles for the present all skill and experience. An interesting ceremony takes place to-day in ,he busy town of Birmingham. Its active material life and stirring business occupations have not rendered its inhabitants indifferent to the attractions of science and study. The combination between thought and action which is often exhibited in English life will be powerfully illustrated in the assembly of savans and philosophers upon which the factory chimneys of Birmingham will this day look down. The British A s.sociation for the Advance ment of Science holds its thirty-fifth meeting there, and wise men from all parts of Europe are gathering at the Birmingham Exchange. Several pleasant ex- CULI3OII4 have been arranged to take place during the THE SUB, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENIING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1865. sitting of the Association, for the neighbourhood of LATEST INTELLIGENCE • Birmingham is peculiarly rich in interesting localities, as by the bridge of the poet " the past and pre sent there combine," and the artistic relics of the past meet the manufacturing industry of the present in very close proximity. Kenilworth Castle and Priory, St. Mary's Hall, and the remains of the Cathedral will be visited on the same day as Messrs. SKIDMORE'S art manufacture works. Another trip will include a ruined abbey and abbot's house ; a third will combine a visit to tile works and a geolo gical examination; while a fourth, not less interest ing and instructive, must, of course, conduct the pilgrims to Warwick Castle and SHAKSPERE'S birthplace. Birmingham itself has plenty of at tractions of its own, and the manufactories are not less marvellous in their way than architectural relics or remains. The programme of the meeting shows that the business of the occasion is not to be for gotten in pleasure, and the inaugurative address of Professor PHILLIPS, the new President, will pro bably be deeply interesting. Every year the im portance of scientific study becomes more and more felt and acknowledged. It is no longer left to the student and the scholar, but it is necessary to the practical man if he would keep apace with the im provements and discoveries of his age. The annual meeting of the British Association serves to realise the progress already made, and to indicate the paths in which our next steps must be taken. It is as practically useful as it is theoretically interesting, and we hope the present assembly will pass off with the accustomed success. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) SPAIN AND ITALY.

The following was forwarded to us from the Foreign-office last night : " Foreign-office, Sept. 5, 1865. " Information has this day been received at the Foreign-office that Mr. Rassam had arrived at Suez, and had reported to her Majesty's agent and consul-general in Egypt that Consul Cameron had been released. No details received." ACCIDENT AT THE FINSBURY EXTENSION RAILWAY WORKS.—Yesterday afternoon a serious accident occurred at the new station of the Finsbury Extension of the Metropolitan Railway, now in course of erection in Aldersgate-street. A little after twelve o'clock two men were engaged in lifting a crate of glass, weighing about four cwt., on to the roof of the station by means of a crane. The men succeeded in getting the crate on to a narrow board which was resting on the iron girders of the roofing. The board broke in the middle, and the men, who were standing on it, were thrown to the ground, a distance of about 70 feet. The glass also fell, and the noise of the crash was great, and when it was heard by a workman standing on a scaffolding near, he became dreadfully alarmed, and running to the edge of it looked down on the injured men. He then fell to the ground, and was fearfully injured. The men who were on the plank in the roof of the building whon it broke were named respectively Philip Potter, aged 20 years, and Robert Chafe, aged 18. The unfortunate man, Potter, it is believed, had his back broken by the fall, and his case is regarded as hopeless. His comrade, Robert Chafe, escaped with a broken leg and severe concussion ; though he is at present delirious, his recovery is expected. The third sufferer, Edward Lewis, aged 27 years, has had his left thigh and right leg broken, and he received besides a serious concussion on the right shoulder. He states that when he was standing on a scaf fold he heard the fall of the other men and of the glass, and that ho proceeded to get down hurriedly to go to their assistance. In doing so his hand slipped, and he, too, fell to the ground, and so met with his injuries. Lewis, it would appear, had been employed at the works since their commencement, and being regarded as a steady hand was employed to do the dangerous work. He says that he had frequently been up at greater heights, and had come down ropes, &c., with perfect safety. The two other men had not been long employed on the works. An extraordinary electrical phenomenon occurred in the Forest of Chantilly two days since. About three in the afternoon, a waterspout passed across the forest in less than five minutes, destroying almost everything in its passage for a width of 50 yards and a length of nearly five miles. About 600 trees, many of them oaks of large size, wore either broken off close to the ground, or torn up by the roots, and shivered to *linters. Two of the rides, reserved fur exercising the horses of MM. Lupin and Aumont, are so blocked up with the broken trees as to be altogether impassable. The course of the waterspout be gan about 200 paces from the station of Orry-la-Ville, and ended at the Garrefour St. Remi.—Galignani. BARNET CATTLE FAlR.—This annual fair com menced on Monday, and continued yesterday. As usual it brought together a very large gathering of graziers, cattle dealers, and others from all parts of the country. Hereford beasts realised high figures, promising weighty young steers fetched £lB to £2O a head, and those of small growth £l4 to £l6. The droves of Devon stock obtained sale at prices varying from £l3 to £l5. In the field as signed for South Wales runts dealers held out for ad vanced prices, and well-grown strong steers realised £l2 to £l5, some inferior sorts going at £8 to £lO ; useful Welsh heifers for fatting purposes, £7 to £9. In the North 'Wales division large steers in fresh condition realised from £l7 to £l9, and inferior ditto £l3 to £l5. The Scotch cattle fair had a good show of stock on view, Highland steers making £l2 to £l5, and small Scotch runts £6 to £B. Polled steers in high con dition fetched £l5 to £l7, and well-conditioned polled heifers £l3 to £l5, and a large clearance was made. Among milch cows business was very flat, and metro politan dairymen have abstained from buying in fresh mulch stock from fear of importing cattle disease into their sheds, and many head of dairy cows were unsold. At the horse fair, the show comprised a large field of useful ani mals ; young sound cart horses for road work realized 25 to 28 guineas, and seasoned ditto for farming work 15 to 20 guineas, handsome cart colts 20 to 30 guineas, good roadster and saddle nags 20 to 30 guineas, and ditto for single light harness 25 to 35 guineas, and strong grown powerful young horses suitable for vans, town carts, B:c., were in good de mand at figuresvarying from 35 to 45 guineas, and well-bred horses for riding and driving purposes, 40 to 50 guineas. T hero was a fine show of Irish colts fresh imported, and promising, well-bred, unbroken animals were bought from the droves at 17 to 32 guineas, and choice selections at 30 to 35 guineas. Among 'Welsh forest ponies there was a quick demand, many of them were only yearlings and found purchasers at four to seven guineas, and strong useful ponies at eight to 12 guineas. InisuEMIGRATION.—The Irish Registrar-general's return for the last quarter shows that the population of the country continues to decrease. It cannot now be more than 5,400,000. The emigration for the last quarter was less by 11,214 than in the corresponding period of 1864 ; but adding the emigration of the two quarters of the present year together, and subtracting these from the excess of births over deaths, it appears that the emigra tion outnumbered the natural increase by 22,805, which represents the decrease of the population for the first half of 1865. From this it will be seen that the exodus con- tinues, but at an abated rate. It is 20 per cent. less than last year. TRIAL OF THE SELKIRK RIOTERS.—Five men be longing to Selkirk, who are alleged to have taken part in the riot which occurred in that town on the occa sion of the recent election for the county, have been in dicted to appear before the Lords of Justiciary at the Jed burgh Circuit Court on the 19th instant. The four men concerned in the main charge are John IPLean, mill worker ; Andrew Heatlie, Blubber ; William Lees, coal agent ; and James Hardie, powerloom manager. Tho in dictment sets forth that on the 20th July last, being the polling-day appointed for taking the votes of the electors of the county of Selkirk for fie election of a member of Parliament, a mob, or great number of riotous and syil disposed persons, of which the accused formed part, did, in a riotous and tumultuous manner,and in breach of the pub lic peace, and to the great alarm of the lieges, wickedly and feloniously assemble in or near Back-row, and in High-street, Selkirk, for the unlawful purpose of intimi- dating or putting in terror or alarm various or one or electors of the said county, and of attacking or injuring his or their dwelling houses, or for some other illegal purpose unknown. The panels are also further accused of taking part with the mob in an attack on the house of Dr. Ander- son, Selkirk, in burning an effigy, in an assault upon the police, while engaged in the execution of their duty, by pressing against them and pelting them with stones, whereby Chief Constable Fraser and several officers under his command were mare or less injured, and in an attack upon the Townhall, and the police constables stationed there. Another man, also a resident in Selkirk, is charged in a separate indictment with participation in the crimes abovo detailed, and also with a breach of the peace com mitted at an earlier hour of the day.—Scotsman. A correspondent of the Birmingham Post writes ; "At Wakefield, a few days ago, some German gentlemen called at the vicar's, and asked for permission to view the house and grounds. It was accorded, not without surprise at a request so unusual. When the compatriots of Goethe and Schiller had satisfied their curiosity, and had departed, it transpired that they had made a pilgrimage, as they be lieved, to the scene of Oliver Goldsmith's story, and that the vicarage was to them endeared by associations of Dr. Primrose, Olivia, Sophia, and Moses. May the enthusiastic Germane never be undeceived And dieenchanteil," FRANCE.

In an audience held yesterday, the King accepted the resignation of Signor Lauza, Minister of the Interior, nominating in his place Baron Natoli, Senator, at present Minister of Public Instruction. His Majesty also accepted the resignation of the Secretary-Generalship of the Ministry of Interior, presented by Signor Zini. The Nazione counsels the Ministry to expedite the elections, and when they are concluded to sum mon Parliament to meet without delay. It is desirable: that the present precarious state of things, displeasing alike to the Ministry and the country, should not be prolonged. It is time that constitutional life should recommence its normal action, that in the new seal of Government Par liament should establish the course demanded by the national interest. The same paper points out the fatal error that would be made by any Ministry seeking support from the former parliamentary majority. Such an error caused the fall of the Ratazzi Cabinet. " The Ministry," continues the Nazione, "have but one way before them—that of drawing up a distinct programme, explicit upon all the great political, administrative, and financial questions which agitate the kingdom. They should loyally receive as friends all who support, and with the same loyalty treat as adversaries all who oppose them. We expect the Ministry to follow this wise and honest policy." The Giornale de Napoli contradicts a rumour that the Italian Government had paid the 50,000 ducats for the ransom of Mr. Moens from the brigands, and points out with reason that the Government would not have done for a foreigner what it does not do for its own subjects and taxpayers. Letters from San Severo to the 27th ult., pub lished by the Naples Italia, give a very distressing account of the condition of that town under the prevalent epidemic. The writer says :—" Truly 147 cases and 63 deaths in the course of 24 hours in a town, the population of which is reduced one half by emigration, is a sad number. We were already short of doctors and nurses when the epidemic be gan to decrease, how much greater must now be our need when the malady has suddenly assumed greater proportions than in the worst days of previous mourning." It is folly to use reticence respecting the terrible condition of San Severo, San Micandro, and Manduria. The whole truth should be told, in order that we may better know how to remedy our great misfortune. May God grant that the isolated cases that have occurred at Foggia, Torre maggiore, Poggio Imperiale, and San Paolo di Civitale may not be the forerunners of a visitation of the epidemic." Up to the 27th ult. there had been 676 deaths deaths from cholera at San Severo. From the 30th ult. to the Ist Sept. 134 persons were attacked in that town, 62 cases being fatal. At Ancona the epidemic continues to decrease. The sanitary con dition of Naples continues to be very satisfactory. SPAIN• MADRID, Sept. 2. The interview between the Spanish and French Sovereigns will take place in the Consistorial Palace of San Sebastian, which is now being decorated for the occasion. Many grandees of Spain have been invited by the Queen to accompany their Majesties in their visit to the Villa Eugenie. According to the Epoca an excellent understand ing exists between Queen Christina and Marshal O'Donnell. Her Majesty's political opinions tend to the complete reorganisation, on constitutional ground, of the great Monarchical Progressist and Liberal Conservative parties. The policy of non-abstention continues to gain ground among the Progressists. At a meeting held in the Conservative Club on the evening of the 29th inst., one of the hitherto most ardent supporters of abstention declared himself adverse to continuance in that policy. The recent manifestation of Senor Madoz in the same sense is likely to be followed shortly by a similar declaration on the part of another important sera endorsed ato National member of th e p ar t y. temporary ni Senor Sagasta, c hi e f e dit or o f the Iberia, w h o returned ob Madrid ai position by within s e t h nto e ark l e a uß t bu t ipo towards h three the days, has fully director of the 1b • eria , during his absence, In re- , signing the management, Senor Rubio publishes an article which is at once a protest against Senor Olozaga and a formal recognition of hereditary monarchy as represented by the reigning dynasty. The schism in the party on the question of leader ship is now fully developed, and much curiosity prevails relative to the course that will be adopted by Espartero, under the circum stances. Many Progressists rejoice rather than otherwise at the turn matters have taken, con sidering that this question must sooner or later have arisen, and might have been brought forward at a more dangerous juncture. Espartero and Olozaga would never, it is believed, work harmoniously together, and the question will now be finally decided in the next Committee. In an article reviewing in discouraging terms the financial condition of the country, the Epoca prints state that although 800 million reals wererealised in the months of May and Jane, the floating debt has not been reduced in equal proportion notwithstand ing ample resources voted by the Cortes to relieve it. The article concludes as follows :—" The Cortes will reassemble within a few months, and it will then be indispensable that the real state of the Treasury should be clearly and thoroughly set forth. A true balance-sheet must then be presented, show ing the exact amount of the deficit, the measures most expedient to liquidate it, and the reforms necessary to insure the equilibrium of receipts and expenses in future. If the next Legislature closes without having settled in a definite manner the question of finance, which is now possible by abne gation and patriotism, difficulties will arise which all who are interested in the prosperity of the country should seek to avoid. Prince Amadeus arrived at Granada yesterday morning, being received by the GovQrnor, Mayor, and other authorities. He would probably leave that city for Madrid this morning. The Cattle Disease. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,--On my return from Coburg yesterday I re quested my bailiff to draw up a statement of what has occurred during my absence at a farm which I hire at Golder's-green, three miles from the Regent's Park on the Finchley-road. Having perfect confidence in the accuracy of Mr. Panter's statement, and thinking it may interest the public, I forward it to you for publication. When I left England a month ago there were about 130 mulch cows in four sheds. In the two largest and best managed I found only one cow yesterday. His Royal Highness the Duke of Coburg informed me last week that what he believes to be the same disease visited Coburg last year. No one can trace its origin, and no medical treatment was successful. Air and water were their only remedies. Some men had died from eating the meat killed at a particular stage of the disease. His Royal Highness had seen a horse die in four hours, killed by flies which came from the carcass of a cow which had been allowed to remain above ground. The dis ease disappeared in the autumn as mysteriously as it had come. I understand that Professor Symonds is of opinion that the disease mentioned by the Duke of Coburg is not the same as that from which we are suffering here—that its name is the Siberian Pest.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, GRANVILLE. Sept. 5. " Golder's-green Farm, Hendon, N.W., Sept. 4. " My Lord,—Your lordship wishing to have particulars of the breaking out and continuance of the cattle plague here, 1 have the honour to send a statement. " On the 13th of July I purchased five Dutch cows in the Metropolitan-market, and placed them in quarantine at Child's-hill farm, one mile from here. On the 22d of July one of them showed signs of debility, diarrhoea followed. Thinking it was only a cold, she was treated accordingly, but continued to get worse, and died in five days. Two more were attacked in a similar way, when veterinary ad vice was called in, but in five days the whole either died or were slaughtered. Every precaution was used to prevent the spread of infection here; the men who attended the sick cattle were not allowed to go among the healthy ones, and vice versa. "But previous to this, hearing of the disease in the Lon don cow-sheds, I adopted precautionary measures, such as a liberal use daily of chloride of lime, administered ono ounce of nitro in half a pint of water to each cow, and a small quantity of tar, and painted their noses with tar. "But, on the Bth of August, unfortunately the disease showed itself hero in a fat cow that had been for tenmonths in the best built, best drained and ventilated shed. No new stock had been added for nine weeks. In a few hours four more cows showed symptoms of it. I immediately had them all removed and slaughtered, and made a post mortem examination of them, and found the windpipe in a state of decomposition, the lungs inflated, the small intestines red and inflamed, and the meat of a dark yellow colour out side, and dark red inside, which I think unfit for human food after the first stage. " The disease confined itself to the above shed of 48 cows (which are now all gone) till the 20th of August, when it broke out in another shed of 35 cows, some ten yards from the former one, and continued its ravages, taking from two to four cows daily, till they are all gone but two, ono of which has not been attacked ; the other, which was a bad case, is cured, and partly come to her milk again. On the first symptoms I had her separated from the other stock, and did not treat her for two days, when diarrhoea set in ; I then gave her a bottle of brandy and four ounces of ground ginger in three quarts of old ale. She lay in a kind of stupor for 12 hours, when I could see a change in her for the better. I continued to give her daily four quarts of gruel made with old ale and two ounces of ginger. In four days she was sufficiently recovered to eat a little hay, &c., and do without further treatment. In another case the above treatment failed, and the animal died in three da) s. "In other cases I allowed any one to treat them who thought they had a remedy, both professional men and others. One persevering young veterinary surgeon came up out of Somersetshire and treated two cases most ener getically, but failed in both ; one died in four, and the other in eight days. In other cases tonics, stimulants, blisters, and setons have been tried but failed. " The whole of the 81 cows lost were of the English breed ; wo have not as yet had any loss out of the other two sheds, consisting of about half English and half Dutch cows, and standing about 40 yards from the infected shed. " It may be interesting for your lordship to know that I had the shed at Child's-hill farm immediately cleansed with disinfectants, and washed with hot lime, &c., and bought 12 fresh cows and placed them there on tile 16th, which are now in perfect health, and a neighbour situated midway between here and that farm had 23 cows lying in a field ; the plague took 20 of them, and in three weeks he replaced them with new stock, which aro still healthy, he having had them a month. " Another neighbour, a mile distant, had a fine herd of 72 cows (English) lying in the fields a fortnight ago. The plague broke out among them, and now he has only eight left in health. " From my own experience, and from all I can learn, I believe the disease is atmospheric, and of a typhoid cha racter. " The first symptoms in a milking cow is an almost en tire loss of milk, then loss of appetite, a watery discharge from the oyes, nostrils, and mouth, which thickens as the disease develops itself ; rumination ceases, her ears hang down, her eyes are heavy and sunken, bloody matter is seen in the excrement, great debility is seen, diarrhoea sets in, and death takes place in from three to nine days. "I have read of iron water being a preventive of the disease. All the water your cows have drunk comes six miles through rusty iron pipes. " I have tho honour to be, my lord, your lordship's most obedient servant, " CHARLES PANTER. " The Right Hon. Earl Granville, K.G., &c." THE JUDGES' CHAMBERS.—At the Judges' Cham bers yesterday Mr. Justice Montague Smith was engaged to a late hour in hearing summonses and other matters be longing to the three Common-law Courts. Mr. Sleigh ap plied in the case of " The Queen v. Schmidt " for leave to put in bail. The defendant was committed at Brighton for receiving stolen property, and his wife was also committed. A Mr. Pocock had been robbed of his watch at the railway station by being jostled against by two women and a man. Mr. Inspector Carpenter, of the London police, attached to the Brighton Railway, obtained a search warrant, and the watch, with several others, was found at the beershop of the defendant at Cross-street, Hove. The defendant now made an affidavit of his innocence, and stated that he was out all the day attending to the business of a fly-owner. The learned counsel said the prisoner could not be tried for some time, and he hoped he had shown sufficient for the learned judge to grant a summons to admit him to bail. His lordship said the learned counsel might have a sum mons, and one was accordingly issued calling on the other side to show cause. FATAL SCAFFOLD ACClDENT.—Yesterday after noon an accident, which immediately proved to be fatal, occurred at Messrs. Aldebert and Co.'s premises, Bow street, Long-acre. A bricklayer named William Adkinson was, with other men, engaged in putting another story to the above premises, when the deceased, in stepping from the top of a high ladder on to the scaffold, missed his foot ing and fell from a he ight of 36ft. on to a stage Bft. from the ground.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.) BERNE, Sept. 4. At the final sitting of the International Social Science Congress to-day the President, M. Challet Venel, delivered the following farewell address : " Ladies and Gentlemen, Members of the Con gress—After arriving at the close of our labours, I believe that we may upon the whole congratulate ourselves upon the results that have been achieved. Among the wealth of impressions the 4th Annual Congress leaves upon our minds one in particular stands out above the rest. It appears as if the week we have just dedicated to this feast of the in tellect has passed like a happy dream ; that from the moment of our address of welcome until that of bidding you farewell we have neither noted the flight of days nor hours ; that we have lost all count of the advance of time ; that we have in some degree , lived that everlasting and immortal life which forms the career of the noble thought. When we opened the Congress we were animated by a sensation of thrilling delight. We received guests whom we loved without personally knowing them ; we longed to press their hands, and, filled with brotherly feelings, to make common cause with them. Upon bidding them farewell to=day we can not avoid feeling that regret with which one regards the end of all pleasant things in this world. We derive, however, fresh courage from the conviction that even when the Congress has terminated the association out of which it sprang will continue to exist more full of life than before. The last storms of autumn are able to cause nature to die an apparent death, but spring is the season when our association will reappear refreshed and revivified. Labourers for intellect, you have committed the seed to the earth : let us have time to ripen the harvest. But where shall that harvest be gathered ? There is Germany, which needs us Germany, which has long laid the foundation stone at the Congress. There is Italy, which calls for us—ltaly, that classic land, for us in a political and social point of view the emblem of regeneration. Were it in our power, gentlemen and valued colleagues, we would retain you at the foot of our Alps, those gigantic sources of grand nature in Western Europe, in the sacred and international asylum of liberty. But, if you wish to continue your pilgrim age, if we cannot hold you back, at least do not forget Switzerland. May our Alps appear to you a guiding beacon, and say to yourselves whenever your eye turns in this direction, 'ln that corner of the earth are hearts which understand you, and arms always open to embrace.' " JO. c • rt -I=to . Lir Return of the Queen from Germany. Her Majesty, accompanied by the younger mem bers of the Royal family and the ladies and gentlemen of the Court, according to the most recent advice; was to leave Coburg on the expira tion of the royal visit yesterday (Tuesday), and proceed to Darmstadt, which will be reached this (Wednesday) morning. At Darmstadt her Majesty and the royal family (including, it is understood, their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Louise of Hesse) would rest the entire day, and leave this evening for Ostend, whither her Majesty, attended by a limited suite, will proceed to visit his Majesty King Leopold, whose health is stated to have been somewhat improved by his sojourn at that favourite bathing place. After spending a few hours in the society of King Leopold, it is understood to be the intention of her Majesty to rejoin the remainder of the suite at Antwerp, at which port the Queen will embark on board the royal yacht to-morrow (Thursday) evening. Should the weather prove favourable the yacht, on quitting the port, will proceed on its course to-morrow night, without anchoring at Flushing ; but if unfavourable, the royal yacht will anchor at Flushing for the night. Woolwich will accordingly be reached either on Friday morn ing or afternoon, and the disembarkation will take place at the Royal Arsenal pier, when the special train, under the charge of Mr. Eborall, the general manager, and Mr. J. P. Knight, the traffic super intendent of the South-Eastern Railway, will be placed in readiness for the journey to Windsor — the journey from Woolwich to the royal borough by this route only occupying about an hour and a quarter. His Serene Highness Prince George of Solms has arrived at Beaufort Castle, Beauly, N.B. The Countess Frances Waldegrave and the Right Hon. Chichester Fortescue have arrived from Ireland. Viscountess Dungannon and Miss Letitia D'Arey Irvine have left town for Llandudno, North Wales. The Count and Countess of Munster have arrived on a visit to Mr. and Lady Georgiana Balfour, at their seat in the North of Scotland. Lord Stanley, M.P., left town yesterday for Bir mingham. The noble lord will afterwards go to Knowsley. It is said that his lordship is about to go on a continental tour. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have established a line of steamers to run between Baltimore and Liverpool, and have already purchased four propellers for the enterprise. Miss Bateman at Liverpool• (From the Liverpool Daily Post of Sept. 5) — 1 The announcement of Miss Bateman's engage ment drew a crowded house to this theatre last night, and the gifted young tragedian's appearance was the signal for a tremendous burst of applause which was again and again renewed. The well-known beauties of Miss Bateman's great impersonation were very prominently brought out. It would not be true to say that a performance so thoroughly studied, and every effect of which has so long been accurately ascertained, has gained in ripeness since in its full maturity it was last year for the first time enacted in Liverpool. But the pleasure of renewing our acquaintance with a great work of art is even greater than that of first scanning its charms; and the various passages of Miss Bateman's Leah were none the less heartily enjoyed, because each lived in the memory, and was awaited with the excite ment which a recollection of its characteristic merits might well create. The first picturesque en trance ; the rapt and half-mystic soliloquy in the second act ; the rapturous dialogue with Rudolf, in which the Jewish maiden declares that his love has done for her ; the delicately -wrought scene ill the hut, where his betrayal is attempted ; the touching interview with Rudolf at his father's door ; the bewildering curse when Leah witnesses the marriage ; and the poignantly affecting scene -with Madalena's child, in the last act, were all wit nessed with breathless, some with tearful, attention ; and the artiste was in each rewarded with tumultu ous applause. It is not possible for a piece of pathetic acting to be carried to greater perfection than Miss Bateman has achieved in this great character ; and he r re - appearance i n it ma y well excite a renewal of the sensation which was created by her first appearance among us. Mr. Herman Vezin is now in Berlin, making, arrangements to appear in a round of Shaksperean L legitimate characters in German. Mr. Vezin is an Ameri can of German extraction—an excellent German scholar, and one of our most intelligent, if not one of our greatest, English actors. SUEING FOR PARDON.—The Washington Repub lican thus describes the scene at a reception given by Pr' sident Johnson on the 21st ult :—" Some 50 persons were present, most of them seeking pardons. A Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina (not Lawrence M., ho having been killed by a loyal bullet at Fort Wagner), approached the pros" dent, and informed him that he desired a pardon. W hat have you done ?" asked Mr. Johnson. I opposed secession until my state decided to go out of the Union, and the lt i I determined to go with it. I never joined the array did nothing to bring on the rebellion,' was the reply' You,' rejoined tho President, 'are like all the rest ; YO O did nothing.' Now,' he added. 'my experience is, that tho men who didn't join the rebel army, but who acquiesced in rebellion, were the most mischievous and dangerous men we had. 1 cannot pardon you, sir.' Mr. Keitt made Bove' ral other efforts. Among other things he reminded the President that he had come all the way from South Caro lip, and had been in Washington some time ; that hotel living hero was very high, and that altogether his daily expenses were extravagantly large, and that he would like to get away as soon as he could go. The President re sponded that the hardships of which he complained wer ° the direct results of the rebellion ; that he did not bring on, or contribute to bring on the rebellion ; that he was not responsible for and could not extricate Mr. Keitt from t he difficulties he complained of, nor hasten his pardon on ac count of them. The President was firm. His answer Wa s a finality. Exit Keitt. A Mr. Birch, member of the l at° rebel Legislature of Virginia, next approached the Pre s ' : dent and applied for a pa r d on . Si m il ar ques ti ons were pu t to him by the President as were asked Mr. Keitt. From the answers it appeared that Birch did nothing, only as a inett` he of the Virginian Legislature, in obedien ce t o i ns t ru ctions,"" ,,, voted that Virginia should secede from the Union of th e) United States. This is all he did, that was—nothing. 1:11° President refused to pardon him. Exit Birch. Next came a rebel clergyman, who asked the President to grant 111112 . , a pardon. What great sin have you committed that )1 , come here in clerical robes and crave executive pard °ll l ,. I was a rebel,' was the answer, 'and I desire your E ce .„ lency to pardon me that I may be rest ore d t o e itizens hir f and be able to support and live under the Government o the United states." You rebel preachers,' responde d President, 'have done the Government a great deal of hair ° You have proclaimed devilish doctrines and misled t' a people. You forgot that it was your duty to yield obedienilco to the powers that be. You must re st aw hile upon ' O , stool of repentance. I decline to grant you pardon at pea, sent. Exit rebel clergyman. The President then rerae rit t o o addressing the entire crowd in the room, that it was 3 ' ll oo singular that most of the non-combatants wh o had p OO from the South for pardon assert that they did nothing., were opposed to the rebellion at the b eg i nn i ng , only quiesced, and thought the rebel government ought to 1, ' 4 4 surrendered earlier and stopped bl oo d s h e d ; ye t not oneoci them took advantage of the amn es t y proc l ama tion off reo by Mr. Lincoln, an act which would have shown sin car t be on their part, and contributed so muc h t owar d s savin. , enormous expenditure of life and treasure.
