It is stated that the pro gress of the native children, both boys and girls, has been very satisfactory. The following are extracts from a letter of Miss Tozer's :- 4 , ZANZIBAR, June 26, 1865. _ _ _ "My first impressions are the wonderful amount the bishop and Dr. Steere have accomplished since October. The nine boys are verfect lithe gentlemen --nice soft rurr intelligence (except one Manganja, who is a sweet temper, but poor soul, a sad dunce); they speak a little with a pure accent, and under stand all you say. Yesterday I gave them a singing lesson in chapel. They sang the Glorias' and two hymns in English very nicely, and their conduct is beyond all praise. I have seen two sums in addition and multiplication, both right, and long rows of figures ; and to-day 1 heard six of them read a card—the history of Joseph in English and Suaheli, and their answers to questions were quite beau tiful—evidently attending to and understanding all the story. Two of the boys are Christians in will ; and Congo, the eldest, we always call the future bishop ; he is so good, steady, grave, and thoughtful, and never moves hand or foot in chapel, but kneels up with closed eyes and moving lips, like a good child, as I am sure he is. "Yesterday the bishop took mo entirely through the town to see the Malagasy quarter and an old grandmother of our little Mankono. We started in procession—first the nine boys, two and two, na M‘Bili, in red fez caps and long white Arab garments, their best, looking so clean and pretty ; then the bishop and I, followed by six of the girls in pink frocks and white handkerchiefs ; the rear brought up by Dr. Steere and Miss Jones. It was like a walk, or a dream of a walk, in the Arabian Nights.' Anything so marvellous and dreamy I never saw ! pictures presenting themselves at every turn—each form and face a study. Through the English quarter, where Colonel Playfair is supreme, the narrow streets are paved with a sort of cement ; but when we left this quarter it was dust and dirt, very narrow and tortuous, very curious. Crowds of dark and dusky faces, and costumes totally indescribable — ornaments, girdles, ear and nose jewels, turbans, caftans, and every few steps a rise, a covering of the face, and Salaam' from one another. The bishop is evidently consi dered a great person, the head of all religion, as the Sultan calls the pious, the exalted, the illustrious, the dis tinguished, the most beloved, our brother and friend, the bishop: I have naturally come to lay my open hand over my face, and say Salaam,' quite as if I had been accus tomed to do it all my life. The sight of two new faces, and ladies walking in the day, was enough to excuse any amount of staring and remark ; but though all eyes were turned to us, I saw no smile, and heard no remark beyond Salaam' as we went on. When we got to the Malagasy quarter things altered; dusky faces looked out, and Jamba, jamba, sans, sane," Jambe, sans, sans,' were repeated, and called after us incessantly—' Welcome, very welcome,' Good morning, very, very much,' it means, and of course we responded; but when we came to the cluster of huts where we intended visiting the grandmother, how shall I describe the scene ? We were surrounded instantly by, I think, a hundred people. I was seized and dragged into a hut, and seated forcibly and hospitably on a mat while women crowded round me, touching me gently, and speak ing welcome words. I escaped to the outer air as soon as I could, where the crowd was increased, Mankono being loudly welcomed by his relatives, and the bishop and Dr. Steere made to sit on a kind of throne formed of mats ; a chair was also produced from some corner, and we were the centre of a dense admiring assemblage. "The visit lasted about 20 minutes, I think; then we took our leave, and, accompanied by some 50 black forms, we departed, the grandmother 'coming with us some dis tance, as is the custom here, and then with Salaams' de parting. One man came the whole way, more than a mile, but the greater part gradually dropped of sooner or later. Coming back in the dusk, we had wonderful glimpses into most picturesque interiors, where lamps stood lighted on the floor, and pillows round, for the even ing chat. Dear little fair Arab bairns, with glittering black eyes, covered their faces with tiny hands, and said, 'Bon jour,' and ' Salaam ;' handsome grave Arabs, in beau tiful garments, rose slowly from the door steps with the same. All at once in the middle of the narrow Oriental way (I cannot call it street)' we came on two persons, who lifted their caps and stood to look at us. They were Ame ricans, arrived on Sunday in a large Boston merchant ship. But can't you fancy how an English face or costume would suddenly come on you, awake you, as it were, out of a dream ? " I like the life, so far, extremely. There is work enough for ten women, instead of three. I am learning and re peating Suaheli from morning till night. Dr. Steere has made me a short grammar, and gives me fresh papers as fast as I learn the old ones. Salim, our head Arab from the consulate, sits at my feet hearing me repeat, with in finite patience, the numbers, which I can now count up to a thousand : the Arabic and Suaheli are curiously mixed, the units being in Suaheli, the tens in Arabic. lie can't speak much English, but encourages me by saying 'By and bye you speaky Zanzibar—to-morrow —next day— Sunday.' I do not know where to begin to tell you anything, it is all so strange and new. The heat is beyond what you ever feel in England, and the mosquitoes are very troublesome. Good bye.—Ever most affectionately yours, "June 30, sunset." g " HELEN R. TOZER."

Smith, Payne, and Smiths, 1, Lombard- street, The mode of admission to the House is twofold, Ist. By election of the subscribers. Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till they are 11 years of age. With the view to secure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care ful y investigated by the Committee, and with this informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most eligible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to take in the little ones whose eharactrr and circumstances disqualify them for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 102, and the . Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once : they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to plead fer those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for lite because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not help her to put one of them into a Home. but that they must ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "rue away," none of us shou' d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe th‘m ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper ?" The daily routine of the Institution presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing. their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to school work—reading, and writing, and cipherin:f, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in objects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, and that at a very early period in lite, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white raper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c'othes, &c. Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering - , weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing and sweeping, while the elder ones (lean all the boots, knives, &c.

The New York Democratic State Convention has passed resolutions demanding the subordination of military to citil rule, and pledging its support to President Johnson in his scheme of reconstruction without negro suffrage ; recognising the national debt, expressing adhesion to the Monroe doctrine, and urging conciliation towards the Southern States. The convention nominates General Slocum for Secretary cd State. The dispute in the State of Mississippi between the civil and military authorities has been decided for the present in favour of the former. The Cincinnati Commercial has a despatch dated Jackson, Misssl sippi, 4th, which says Gen.. Slocum has issued an order by direction of the President enjoining upoz his officers not to interfere with the organization of the State Militia ordered by Provi sional Governor Sharkey. This is directly the re verse of the determination of the Government upon this subject as reported a few days since, and is ac counted for in the fact that the Government is look ing to the gradualkerses,sion of the Federaltroops by the State militia order to diminish the na tional expenses. The President sets forth his reasons in a letter to Goverhor Sharkey, of which the fol lowing portion has been published : " It is believed there can be organized in each county a force of citizen militia to preserve order and enforce the civil authorities of the State, and of the United States, which would enable the Federal Government to reduce the army, and withdraw, to a great extent, the farces from the State, thereby reducing the enormous expenses of the Government. If there was any danger from an organization of the citizens for the purpose indicated, the military are there to suppress, on its first appearance, any move insurrectionary in its character. One great object is to induce the people to come forward in defence of the State and Federal Government. General Wash ington declared that the people, or the militia, was the arm of the Constitution, or the arm of the United States, and as soon as it is practicable the original design of the Government should be resumed unde: the principles of the great charter of freedom, handed down to the people by the founder of the Republic. The people must be trusted with their Government, and if trusted, my opinion is that they will act in good faith, and restore their former constitutional rela tions with all the States composing the Union. The main object of Major-General Carl Schurz's mission to the South was to aid, as much as practicable, in carrying out the policy adopted by the Government for restoring the States to their for mer relations with the Federal Government. It is hoped such aid has been given. The proclamation authorising the restoration of State Government re quires the military to aid the Provisional Governor in the performance of his duty as prescribed in the proclamation, and in no manner tointerfere or throw impediments in the way of consummation of the ob ject of his appointment, at least without advising the Government of the intended interference." The Courrier des Etats Unis of the Bth inst. pub lishes the following, which it states it has received from its Washington correspondent : " The Mexican question was discussed at the Cabinet meeting held on Tuesday, which was pre sided over by President Johnson. All the members present expressed themselves favourable to the status quo except Mr. Harlan, Secretary of the Interior, who desired that Juarez should at least be indirectly supported. Quite a lively scene took place between Mr. Seward ami Mr.- Hark.% the Premier telling Mr. Harlan that he Baerifited the true interests of the country to the love of vain popularity, that it was not dignified for this Government to aid Juarez in directly, and that it was not advantageous to support him openly. President Johnson fully agrees with the views of the secretary of State, and declared that he regretted the speech of Mr. Harlan made some time since in public, and that members of the Cabinet ought never to forget that their words are always construed as having been inspired by the Govern ment. He would lose no opportunity to disavow any such inconsiderate speeches, the same as he had disavowed Sheridan's views by reducing his army two-thirds. Mr. Johnson, when the meeting said he would not determi n e was about breaking up, upon a fixed policy toward Mexico before the meet ing of Congress,when he would discuss in his mes sage whatever might seem best for the country. It is evident that the President is animated with his Cabin e t. If it is true that Juarez has pacific feelings as Mr. Seward and the ofma jthoreitsyam e evacuated Chihuahua and is obliged to take refuge in the United States, the resumption of official re lations with Mexico will be considerably facilitated." Mr. Davis has so far recovered from his attack of erysipelas as to be able to take his accustomed walks daily. A Fortress Monroe despatch of the 7th says : " Government carpenters were set at work a few days since to convert the old telegraph office inside the Fortress into quarters for Jeff. Davis ; but yes terday orders were issued to stop that work, and prepare C arr oll - hall -building, which is inside the fortress. From this it is presumed the trial of Jeff. Davis will take place here, and hence these prepara tions." The Wirz trial had been partially interrupted by the illness of the prisoner. When resumed on the morning of the a letter the leBtth, Colonel Chipman read to the Commissionr addressed to him by C a pt a i n Wirz, asking, althou g h he was conscious of his in nocence, that he might have religious comfort, and s uggesting that Fath er Wh ee l an and Hamilton be p er mitted to visit him in their pastoral c a p a city. The prisoner not being in the care of the Court, the letter was referred to the War Department for its action, there being no doubt the request would be granted. In the course of the trial Colonel Chip man said that while Wirz was an atrocious criminal, and responsible for a great many crimes, there are others above and higher than he that the Govern ment will seek to hold responsible for greater crimes. This was the theory of the Government and the purpose of introducing the record evidence before the military commission. I n support of his view, that the state of the prison was known at the War Department in Richmond, he read the following letter from General Howell Cobb ' Headquarters Georgia Reserves; Macon, Georgia, May 5, 1864. ' General S. Cooper, Ad jutant-General, Richmond, Virginia. is General,—Under war orders to inform myself of the condition of the prison at Andersonville, with the view of furnishing from the reserve corps the necessary guard for its protection and safety, I made a visit there, awl have just returned, and now submit the result of my examination :—There are in the prison about 12 , 000 prisoners in an area of with a stockad e aroun d it nab°ouletss than 18 15ft. high. prison is well understood at Richmond, a n d there fore give no description of it. The d anger o f th e acres, the character of the , presume prisoners escaping is not so great as I have sup posed. With a guard of 1 ,200 men, four pieces of artillery, and a cavalry company, all apprehension of escape would be quieted. I have arranged to send two regiments of infantry there within the next week, which, with the detached companies of Col. Person's regiment, will be an ample military force. Captain Gamble's battery is there, but I would re commend that it be returnedto Florida and Captain Tiller's battery sent in its place. The reason mainly for this accommodation is that Captain Gamble's battery is well supplied with horses, and they are not needed at Andersonville, whereas Tiller's horses have been so reduced that he is unable to move his battery in the field. The exchange of these batteries would be of decided advantage to the service: Ire commend the cavalry company, because its presfince would have a salutary effect in restraining the pri soners from any attempt at escape, knowing that the means are at hand to pursue them ; and in the event of the escape of any considerable number the cavalry would be absolutely necessary to their suc cessful pursuit. I took the liberty of making several suggestions for rendering the prison more secure, and if the tools could be had I would recommend that the entire prison grounds shOuld be surrounded by fortifications, which could be put up by the troops, whose health would be promoted by the em ployment. The most important change is the one suggested in the accompanying report of my chief surgeon, Dr. Eldridge—that is, the erection of an hospital building outside the prison. Upon that point there cannot be two opinions among intelligent men. It ought to be done at once, and such is the opinion of every sensible man who has examined the prison. The prison is already too much crowded, and no additional prisoners should be sent there until it has been enlarged. The effect of increasing the number within the present area must be a terrible increase of sickness and death during the summer months. I understand that an order has been given for enlarging the prison. If it were possible to make another prison it would be much better, for I doubt very much whether the water will be suffi cient for th6'accommoda thins of - thelitelt. . ber of prisoners. The general management of the prison under Colonel Persons is good, and he mani fests a laudable desire to discharge his duties in the most efficient manner. The duties of the inside command are admirably performed by Capt. Wirz, whose place it would be difficult to fill. I still think the rank of the commanding officer of the post should be a brigadier-general. In view of the number of troops that will be under his command, it seems to me he should have that superior rank over those who may be ordered to report to him. I take the liberty of inclosing a copy of Dr. Eldridge's report.—l am, General, very respectfully, " HOWELL COBB, Major-General Commanding." The following paper was also put in evidence : " Camp Sumter, Andersonville, May 8, 1864. " Major,Ll have the honour to make the fol lowing report in regard to the Confederate States' military prison at this post. I was assigned to the command of the prison by Colonel A. W. Persons, the commandant of the post, on the 27th of March, 1864, having reported to him for duty by order of General J. H. Winder, commaiding Confederate States prisons. I found the prison in a bad condi tion owing to the want of tools, ouch as axes, spades, and lumber to erect proper. buildings. The first commandant of the post, Captain W. S. Winder, and his successor Colonel A. W. Persons, had left nothing untried to supply theie so important articles. Only two weeks ago I received axes, spades, &c., from Columbus, Georgia, and went to work cutting ditches, &c. r hope to have every thing in the interior of the prison completed in two Weeks. The bakery, which could not be com pleted for want of lumber, is now in operation. The necessity of enlarging the stockade is unavoidable ; I shall commence as soon as I can gather a sufficient number of negroes. I would most respectfully ask you to present to the authorities at Richmond the impediments thrown in my way by having the hospitals inside the prison. The number of prisoners on the Ist of April was 7,160 ; I received up to to-day front various points 5,787; recaptured, 7—total, 11,954. The number of dead from the Ist of April to the Bth of May is 728 ; escaped, 13 ; leaving on hand 12,213. I con sequently lost six prisoners. I would also call your attention to the danger of having our present guard forces withdrawn and their places supplied by the reserve forces of General Brown. In conclusion, allow me to - make a felt I am here in a very unpleasant position, growing out of the rank I now hold, and suggest the pro priety of being promoted, having full control of the prison, and consequently of the daily prison guard. The orders which I have to give are very often not obeyed with the promptness the occasion requires ; and I am of opinion that it emanates from the re luctance of obeying an officer who holds the same rank as they do. My duties are manifold, and re quire all my time in day time and very often part of the night, and I would most respectfully ask that two commissioned officers—lieutenants—could be assigned to me.—l am, Major, very respectfully, your obedient servant, " H. WIRz, Capt. Commanding Prison. " Major Thomas Turner, C.S.A." A good deal of documentary evidence in addition was offered, including a report from Brigadier- General Winder, addressed to the Confederate Adjutant-General, which contains the following description of Andersonville prison. It is dated July 21, 1864 : " Your endorsement on the letter to S. R. Davis, relating to the strength of the guard at this post, contains severe censure, which I am sure would not have been made if you had a clear comprehension of this post—its wants and its difficulties. Reflect for a moment ; 29,201 prisoners of war, many of them most desperate characters ; a post a mile long by a mile wide (the stockade for the prisoners being within 160 yards of a mile in circumference) ; numerous avenues leading to the post to be guarded; public property to be cared for; guards for the working parties and the ordinary camp grounds of the troops, and you can form an estimate of the number it would require for these purposes. The following are the daily guards required, and they cannot be reduced, but ought to be increased :—Stockade, 1,600 yards around, 52 posts ; supernumeraries, 10, 166 enlisted men ; two commissioned officers; hospitals (twounenclosed) 1,735 patients and attendants ; guard, 73 ; 23 posts, 69 men, and four supernumeraries, and one commissioned officer. Pickets around the stockade, 206. (This picket is indispensable to prevent escape by tunnelling.) Outlying pickets and the railroad bridge guard, 43 men and six com missioned officers. Guard, with party cutting wood daily, 100 ; guard with working parties, 25. This does not in clude accidental guards and camp guards. Total, 513. Strength of guard, July 2, 2,421, including the prisoners' guard detained here ; from which deduct 517 sick, 227 on daily duty, and 126 in the artillery companies-870, leaves 1,581. You will observe that since Lieutenant Davis's re port the detained prisoners' guard have been added to the strength of the guard. This gives the most favourable re port at this post, and the duties required of it. You speak in your indorsement of placing the prisoners properly. I do not exactly comprehend what is intended by it. I know of but one way to place them, and that is to put them into the stockade, where they have between four and five square yards to the men. This includes streets and two acres of land about the stream." The following reference to the immigration re turns appears in the New York papers : "Statistics from the office of the Commissioners of Emigration go to show that the close of the war has not been marked, as many persons supposed it would be, by an increase of emigration to this country from Europe. On the contrary, there is a decrease in the eight months of this year, as compared with the corresponding period of last year, of 20,000 ; and there is little prospect that this result will be materially changed in the remainder of the year. The figures are as follows : FIRST BIGHT MONTHS. Number of emigrants arrived. 1864. 1865. ... 6,075 ... 3,914 ... 5,560 ... 3,575 ... 12,768 ... 6,045 January February ~ . March April... ...

Total in eight months ... 135,159 113,799 Decrease in 1865... ... ... 21,360 There are several causes for the decrease of emigration this year, dependent to a considerable extent upon the war. The great cost of living here in the latter part of last year, and in the earlier part of this year, was one of the reasons. The high price of exchange was another; for a considerable proportion of the immigrants were pro vided with tickets paid for by their relatives here ; and the steamship and packet proprietors have in most cases made their rates to conform to the gold standard. Many of the passage tickets that were sent to Europe have been returned unused to this country. Still another obstacle to emigration was the action of recruiting agents, who, under false pretences, induced newly arrived Irishmen and Ger mans to enter the army. The greater part of the emigrants come in the early part of each year. The arrangements for departure are usually made in winter; the preparations are then completed, and-as soon a , a.theFPring storms ET? PRICE 4d., S TAMPED 5d.: over, so that a voyage in sailing vessels is endurable, the embarkation begins. The months in which the largest proportion of the emigrants sail aro March and April, and the arrivals are greatest in May and Juno. A vessel sail ing before April is frequently two months on the ocean, and nothing is therefore gained by so early a start. The emigrant waits for genial weather and a pleasant voyage. There is every reason to expect a heavy emigration next year—if not an amount of it unparalleled in recent years. The unofficial advices received by the agent of the Com missioners of Emigration, Mr. Casserly, indicate that a vast number of emigrants expect to be on their way hero next spring." Crimes and accidents continue to be numerous. A case of " lynching" is reported at Knoxville, Tennessee. The Chattanooga Gazette says a diffi culty occurred at Knoxville on the sth, between W. S. Hall, a clerk of the Circuit Court at Knoxville, and a young man named Baker, late of the rebel army, resulting in the death of Hall. Baker was committed to gaol, but the citizens got him from the Sheriff and hung him. A very excited state of feeling exists between the whites and blacks in Chattanooga. Among the most conspicuous of the accidents was the blowing up of a train by an ammunition car. It occurred on the North-Western railroad of Tennessee. The train consisted of eight cars and passenger coftehes and there were nearly 200 persons on board. Tffe two foremost cats contained powder, shot, and shell, and, it was supposed, sparks from the loco motive communicated with the powder through cracks in the car, causing the explosion. Seven persons were killed outright, and nearly all received more or less injury-. The fireman was killed, the engineer badly injured, and the conductor slightly. Among the slightly injured was Mr. Van Valken burg, Assistant-Superintendent of Telegraphs. All the cars were blown to pieces except the two in rear. The engine was badly wrecked. The concussion was terrific, and shook the buildings in town like an earthquake. The telegraph to California is once more in work ing order ; there are no Indians on the route, and no further troubles from that source are anticipated. News is expected of a battle between General Con nor's forces and the Indians, in or near Big Horn River, a branch of the Yellowstone. The attack is mostly insidious, the animal appearing at the outset to be but little affected. The eyes retain their brightness often to the termination of the illness. The appetite is generally diminished, but rarely lost, excepting in advanced stages of the disease. A short, dry, husky cough is one of the earliest symptoms; it continues through out, and is easily excited by nloving the animal, especially if such movement is sudden. '1 here is rarely any discharge from either the eyes or nostrils. The breathing is greatly increased, and becomes painful as the disease advances. A dull sound is emitted ou gently percussing the side of the chest over the diseased lung. Firm pressure applied to this part will also cause the animal to shrink. Thero is little or no alteration in the local evacuations, excepting in the last stages of the malady, when a diarrhoea comes on.

The animal frequently smacks its lips, and shows by the movements of its tongue that the mouth is the seat of suffering. The saliva flows freely from the mouth, and accumulates also as a frothy fluid around the muzzle. An examination of the mouth shows the existence of largo blisters on the tongue, and often on the inner part of the upper lip. They are few in number, and always white in colour. The animal seldom refuses food, but rolls it about its mouth, and often drops instead of swallowing it. There is little or no disturbance of either the breathing or pulse, nor is the temperature of the b.dy altered. The evacuations are also natural. In many in stances the feet are affected as well as the mouth, and blis ters will form between the toes, causing the animal to walk tenderly, and - frequently to ettclrup ono foot after the other and shake it, as if to dislodke something which was producing pain.

The preceding description of the most prominent symp toms of these several affections will, the committee hope, so far guide the agriculturist that he may at once be enabled to decide on the nature of the disease ; but in any case in which a doubt may exist, he should lose no time in calling to his assistance the professional aid of a veterinary surgeon. The committee would further observe that they have wit nessed with satisfaction the formation of mutual protection of compensating societies in some of the counties in which the disease has broken out. Such societies must prove im Portant auxiliaries to the means employed for suppressing the disease by inducing persons to give immediate notice of its appearance, and by doing all they can to carry out the rules and regulations herein named, as well as the several Orders in Council which have been issued by the Govern ment. In conclusion, the committee have to state that although strongly believing that it is to preventive, and not curative means the country must look for the extermination of the cattle plague, they have not neglected the important subject of combating the disease by medical treatment. In con junction with the Royal Veterinary College measures have been adopted by which diseased cattle are admitted into the infirmary of that institution for treatment. Hitherto, the results of medical treatment have nowhere been so sa tisfactory as could be wished ; but should a successful mode of treatment be discovered, the same will immediately be made public. Another and a very great advantage arising out of diseased cattle being brought to the college is, that means are afforded to veterinary surgeons—who arrive in London from all parts of the country, and even nom foreign States—of seeing the disease in its several stages, and also of being present at post-mortem examinations,and learning from the professors the whole of the details of the treat ment which had been adopted. The Cattle Disease. The following paper has just been issued by the Royal Agricultural Society of England in relation to the Cattle Plague : The gradual extension of the Cattle Plague in different parts of the country, together with its appearance in locali ties hitherto exempt from it, induces the Veterinary Com mittee of the Royal Agricultural Society to call upon its members to co-operate with the Government, and with other agricultural societies, in the efforts which are being made for suppressing the disease. The existence of this disease being regarded as a national calamity, it was right that the Government should take the initiative in adopting means for its suppression ; and their having done so leaves little for the Royal, or any other agri cultural Society to do, except to second the efforts of the Government. The several Orders in Couicil which have been put forth, well calculated as they are to arrest the progress of the malady, will, nevertheless, prove non-effective to a conside able extent unless they are backed by individual exertion. One of the chief, and in many instances the only cause of the extension of the disease into several fresh districts has been the reckless manner that many persons have dealt with infected cattle. Not only have these been driven from place to place, and turned into fields separated only from large herds of healthy animals by an ordinary fence, but many have been sent to fairs and markets ; and thus, by commingling with others, have spread the disease far and wide. All preventive measures are thus rendered of little avail, and unless practices of this kind are prevented by the vigilance of agriculturists and others, thousands of cattle will be lost to the country, in addition to those which have Everyoneshould be impressed with the fact that the disease is the ulfmt infectious mo well as the most fatal which is known to affect cz.ttle, akin in its deadly effects to the smallpox of sheep, but not giving warning to persons by an eruption upon the body. Like smallpox of sheep, also, the poison lies latent in the system for several days after being inhaled, ;and during this time the animal gives no indication of being affected, so that the most cau tious persons may be deceived in the making of purchases. Another fact of equal importance, but not generally known, is that the special poisonous material, or infectious matter, on which the disease depends for its existence, is multi plied to an extent scarcely to be estimated in the system of every fresh victim, so that it is quite possible for one diseased animal to be ultimately the cause of the death of thousands. The Veterinary Committee conceive, there fore, that the precautions which have been put forth by the Society's Veterinary Inspector will not be inaptly repeated here, although they have been previously brought to the notice of the members of the society through the ordinary channels of publication. These precautions are 1. That all persons should abstain as much as possible from the purchase of "store stock" in fairs and markets, and should not purchase from cattle dealers withoutawarranty against the disease. 2. That all newly-purchased cattle of every kind bekept apart from others for a period of not less than twelve to fourteen days. 3. That cattle, the subjects of thin disease, should notbe allowed to remain in any meadow or pasture field, unless they can be perfectly isolated from all other animals, as well as kept at a distance of not less than a hundred yards from all roads along which sound cattle may be driven. 4. That every aaimal which is violently attacked with the disease be killed and buried without delay, and that the skin be placed in some disinfecting fluid before being sent off the premises. 5. That no animals be allowed to go near to the burial places until several weeks have elapsed. 6. That no person who has the charge of the sick cattle be allowed to go near the healthy ones, and that all in direct communication by dogs, or other animals, between the infected and the healthy cattle be strictly prevented. 7. That all healthy cattle, after removal from the dis eased, be well washed and cleansed. 8. That no fodder or straw which has been used about in fected cattle be taken to other animals, oreven thrown into the fold-yard, or upon the manure heap, until it has been first well incorporated with chloride of lime, or some other disinfecting powder. Whim practicable, it is desirable that all such fodder and straw should be burnt. 9. That all manure in the sheds or stables, occupied by diseased cattle, be daily sprinkled with some disinfecting powder, and that no evacuations of the deceased be re moved without being first disinfected. 10. That all sheds and stables in which diseased cattle have been located be thoroughly washed, cleansed, and ven tilated, and likewise disinfected by white washings with quick lime, before any other cattle are placed therein. - 11. That all railway cattle-trucks, station-pounds, ships used in the cattle trade, wharves, and other places whero cattle are brought together, be kept as clear as possible by frequent washings ; and that disinfectants be used when ever there is reason to believe that they have been occu pied by diseased animals. 12. That no store-stock, milking cows, or cattle of any kind which have been exposed to the influence of the infec tion, by being located with the diseased, be sent to any fair, or market, in less than a month after such exposure. 13. That in all cases in which it it determined . to slaugh ter animals which have been on a farm or premises where the disease has broken out, but which animals are believed at the time to be healthy and fit for human food, they be sent with all due care and caution direct to the nearest slaughter-house, if not killed on the premises, and as a further precaution, their skins be placed to Some disinfect ing fluid. 14. That, although experience has shown all animals of the ox tribe, whatever may be their age, sex, or condition, t o be susceptible oftheactionoaft v t e he er Te ca ct u io s n e , w i h t iieshnteevnedrs theless essentially necessary that to weaken the constitution should be carefully avoided. Protection from inclement weather, supplying animals with nutritious food such as cake or corn, and especially with pure water, are imperatively demanded at a juncture like the present. In addition to a strict observance of these precautions the committee would rem i n d th e me mbers of the necessity of recognising the early symptoms of the disease, and not con founding them with those belonging to other maladies common to cattle. For this purpose they here insert the leading symptoms of the Cattle Plague, and of the two other epidemic affections to which cattle are subject :- THE CATTLE PLAGUE. The early symptoms of the plague are usually a remark.. ably dull and dispirited condition of the animal, which will stand with its head hanging down, ears drawn back, and coat staring, refusing all food, and occasionally shiver ing.

A meeting of the Sanatorium Committee of the Corpora tion of London was held yesterday at the Mansion-house. Mr. GIBBINS, the chairman, presided, and announced to the meeting the proceedings that took place on Monday, upon the occasion of a deputation from the committee having an interview with the Lords of the Privy Council upon the subject of the cattle disease. He also expressed the satisfaction of the committee at the decision that had been come to by the Government of permitting the estab lishment of one sanatorium, for the purpose of trying the experiment whether a cure can be effected. A letter was read from Professor Symonds, who nets as the professional adviser of the Government, stating that every facility would be offered by him to give the experi ment a fair trial. At present it appears that the committee have no offer of any spot for the erection of a sanatorium ; and unless, as it was suggested in tho course of the discussion, the Govern ment should allow some of their waste land in Woolwich Marshes and other places to be devoted to the purpose, it seems to be very doubtful whether a suitable spot can be obtained, the inhabitants of almost every district, not un naturally, objecting to having an establishment of such an offensive description brought into their neighbourhood. The committee, however, appear to be directing all the at tention they can to the subject. In the course of the sitting, Mr. Gums, the secretary, stated that the amount of sub scriptions received towards the compensation fund was £1,658, and circulars had been sent to the principal Livery Companies, bankers, and the owners of horned cattle in the metropolis asking them to contribute to the fund. ST. PANCRAS. Yesterday, at a meeting of the Representative Vestry of St. Pancras, held at the Vestry-hall, Camden-town, Mr. Churchwarden Lawford in the chair, a report was presented from the sanatory committee as to the present state of that extensive parish as regarded the epidemic amongst cattle It stated that from returns presented by Dr. Hillier, medi cal officer of health, it was to bo regretted that the cattle plague in the parish had not abated, or shown any ten dency to decrease. Up to the present time about 600 cows had diminished in the cowhouses, either from actual dis ease or supicion of it. The committee had directed the at tention of the Privy Council to be called to the very in adequate provision in the parish for the prevention of the continued propagation of the disease, there being only one Government inspector, whose district extended beyond the boundaries of that parish. A reply had been received, stating that in any case of the outbreak of the disorder, in which the services of Mr. Priestman, the appointed Government veterinary inspector, are not imme diately available, application might be made to engage the services of Professor G. T. Brow; 7A, New Cavendish street. The commitee had. further directed a letter to be sent to the Privy Council, calling upon them to appoint a veterinary inspector in some accessible part of the parish, in order that cowkeepers may not have undue difficulty in obtaining the necessary assistance of a professional man. On the recommendation of the medical officer, and by direc tion of the committee, circulars had been issued to every cowkeeper in the parish informing them of the objects, rules, and regulations of the Metropolitan Cattle Plague Committee, and urging them to avail themselves of the assistance it offered. and o l f thes e district, sceneof lived bein g WATSON only to pre Co p w poin be t g d r iven on di s ease, and was allowed to lay 24 hours i n a pu bli c way a fter notice had been forwarded to the i ns p ec t or, an d w h en ho came the cow was dead. c a e o n m t p e I d a in itself that ; the a Mr. PAYNE said, as he und ers t oo d the report, there were now very few cows rema i n i ng to be inspected, and there fore one inspector was suflici en t.

RECOVERY OF THE lOWA STEAMSHIP. —About 18 months ago the lowa, five-masted screw steamship, 2,500 tons register, belonging to the London, Havre, and New York line of packet steamers, got ashore in a bay on the French coast, near Cherbourg - , after leaving llavre for New York, whore she subsequently fell over on her beam ends, filled, and sunk. There wore nearly 300 people on board at the time—passengers and crew—but all were safely landed. A court of inquiry was held, which terminated in exculpating the master from all blame, it being clearly de monstrated in evidence that the compasses on board were affected by the land, and led to the captain being deceived as to the actual position of the vessel. Extraordinary exertions were made to raise the sunken steamship, in volvingstiteesamofbothaetsl tmopearsisailstarinsen theal a o t p C era he t r i • o b n or isT se o n tw di i n th g an expens e o f near l y £14,000, the French authori nan s m t a e n n d g the immense power brought into effect, it failed to alter the position of the ship, and the wreck was abandoned as a total loss to the underwaiters, the vessel being insured for the sum of £70,000. Special agents were then despatched from London to survey the sunken wreck, and to report upon the chance of saving her. The result was that an agreement was entered into with Messrs. Barter and Co. to raise the lowa. Their plan was that of sending divers down and making the ship watertight. This accomplished, by means of powerful steam pumps, the water was lifted out of the several compartments, and as soon as buoyancy was obtained the ship was by degrees righted, and finally she floated, and was towed safely into Cherbourg Harbour, where she is having her engines and machinery oiled and made good. In a few days the lowa may be expected to arrive lit the Thames. , of Lieu rob v er oc- )1 ,1 the o tOl
