STEELE, Secretary. BAY OF HAVANA AND MATANZAS RAILROAD (in the Island of Cuba). Loan of £400,000 sterling, in Bonds of £lOO, bearing in terest at 7 per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly in London. AGENTS. In London—Messrs. J. Henry Schroder and Co. In Havana—The Bank of Commerce, Francis Fesser, Esq., Manager. This Company was formed in 1857, obtained its conces sion the same year, and in 1861 the main road was com pleted from Reg la, in the Bay of Havana, to Matanzas, a distance of 54 miles. Since then branch lines of considerable value have been constructed. The cost of construction to this date is £1,056,000; of this sum £448,000 was raised upon shares subscribed in the island. £250,000 was raised in London, in 1861, by a first mort gage loan, bearing 7 per cent. interest, and repayable by the operation of a sinking of £25,000 per annum, com mencing 1867, which will redeem the entire loan in 1876. £lOO,OOO was similarly raised in 1863 for the construction of two branch roads, secured by a second mortgage on the road, and guaranteed by the Bank of Commerce, repayable by the operation of a sinking fund of £4,000 per annum, commencing in 1873. A considerable portion of the remainder of the capital has been supplied from time to time out of the earnings of the road. The results of the undertaking have been very satisfac tory, and show the following returns :- 1862 ......... Gross receipts £100,700 1863 77 17 1864 And 1865 gross receipts from January to June £93,000 Against same period, 1864 82,000 The Bay of Havana and Matanzas Railroad Company has now effected the purchase of the Coliseo Railroad, running from Matanzas to Bemba, a distance of 35 miles, a very valuable road, and of immense importance to the Bay of Havana and Matanzas Company, inasmuch as it is in direct junction with that road at Matanzas, traversing a district rich in eugar produce : and being connected at Bemba with the Cardenas and Jucaro Railroad, becomes a section of the central road of the island, which will very shortly reach Villa Clara by the completion of the Car denas and Jucaro Railroad. The returns of the traffic of the Case° Railroad are as follows : 1860 Gross receipts £49,100 1862 71 11 1864 71,200 And the returns of 1865, from Jan. to 20th May.,.£49,000 Against 1864, same time 45,000 To complete this p urc h ase, th e B ay o f Havana and Matanzas Company desire to raise a loan in London of £lOO,OOO, bearing interest at 7 per cent. per annum, pay able half-yearly in London. As security for this loan, the Bay of Havana and Matan zas Railroad Company will effect a first mortgage on the Coliseo Railroad, its rolling stock, appurtenances, and all properties ; and also a mortgage on the Bay of Havana and Matanzas Railroad and its branches, subject only to the existing mortgages of £350,000, of which the first mort gage of £250,000 will be paid off entirely in 1876, by the operation of the sinking fund which commences in 1867. The property thus mortgaged is as follows : The Coliseo Railroad to be purchased out of the proceeds of this loan, producing a gross revenue in 1864 of £71,200. The Bay of Havana and Matanzas Railroad and its branches, costing £1,056,000, producing a gross revenue in 1861 of £143,000 (subject only to the above-mentioned mortgages). It will be noticed that the revenue of the Bay of Havana and Matanzas, as well as that of the Coliseo Railroad, has for some years been steadily increasing at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum, and it is beyond a doubt that the amalga mation of the two roads, by a natural increase of traffic and a large saving of expenditure in the administration, will produce a far larger revenue, and may be fairly estimated for the coming year at £250,000 gross, or fully £lOO,OOO net revenue. For the repayment of this loan a sinking fund is ar ranged for, whereby £20,000 is to be paid off annually, either by the purchase of bonds or public drawing, its ope ration to commence in 1877, by which time the first mort gage loan of £250,000 will be entirely redeemed. The Bonds will be issued in sums of £lOO, and bear in terest coupons, payable 10th June and 10th December, at the counting-house of Messrs. J. Henry Schroder and Co. The first coupon will be payable 10th Juno next. The subscription price is 90 per cent., payable as fol lows : £5 on application. 25 on allotment. 30 on 10th November. £3O Os.

Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, olothed, educated, and taught till they are 11 years of age. With the view 1 o 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 to the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify them for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are these 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 child= 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 10 , and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Comn,ittee feel constrained to plead for 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 matte a widow and her inmily paupers fbr lire 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 1p her to put one of them into a Home. but that they must ail g 0 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 e s 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 "t ug away," none of us shoo d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly woi d to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe them ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, uassing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper ?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statistics, which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of age, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish. though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli ance and self-help. be permanent burdens to the State. The Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society.

The active measures taken by the Government against the Dublin " Head-centre" .of Fenianism have met with the decided approval of the Irish public. There was abundant opportunity to-day, indeed, to test the feeling of the inhabitants of the metropolis on the subject, and on all hands the ad mirably quiet and effective manner in which the arrangements were carried out is the subject of favourable remark. The belief is general that the Government have been for some time in possession of important information, and that the step now taken can be fully justified. Whilst I write arrests continue to be made of persons supposed to be in league with the Fenian Brotherhood, and among them are several Irishmen who have lately returned from America. The police arrested at Rathmines, a suburb of Dublin, one of these returned Celts, who was found possessed of a particular description of uniform, and a box of documents which are sup posed to throw light upon the plans of the rebel lious organization. The editor of the Irish People, a Dr. O'Leary, was also taken up to-day ; but it will be better to give a history of proceedings which are so remarkable in a regular chronological order. The meeting of magistrates in Cork onThursday, presided over by Lord Fermoy, seems to have de termined the Government to put into instant execu tion the measures upon which they had determined. One hundred and fifty magistrates attended, and such information was produced, and depositions read, as showed unmistakably that an organisation of some sort existed, extending its ramifications through the neighbouring counties of Waterford and Wexford. Mr. Hawkes stated that, per zort4/13r7 1.3 liaci Tar 'itrpraionstion of . the Fenian organisation, and he did not think that any danger would arise from it. He remembered a time when 8,000 Whiteboys were dispersed at Carrigaminy by 30 yeomen after a single shot. Mr. Perrier, Lota, thought that prompt measures were necessary, and complained that the police in his district were neither sufficiently numerous nor sufficiently active. Mr. J. E. Barrett, Carriganass, gave important information respecting the movements of the society in his dis trict, Bantry, and read depositions showing that drilling and military evolutions were practised there at night. One:of these depositions was made a short time since by Captain White, who stated that as he was riding along the road to his residence two men suddenly sprang out from the ditch and caught his horse by the bridle. One of them asked him was he a " Fenian man ;" the other bid him give the c.pass-word." He was taken quite by surprise, and he said he knew no " pass-word." On his making this reply one of the men struck at him, but he pressed his horse forward and rode past them, knock ing the fellow down. The second deposition read disclosed a still more serious outrage. It appeared that some time since a party of men surrounded the house of Mr. Lawe, residing in the neighbourhood of Bantry, and burst in the front door. Three men having their faces blackened entered the house, and demanded that whatever fire-arms it contained should be given to them. Over twenty stood around the door outside. In the face of such a display of force the inmates of the house were afraid to refuse the demand, and two pistols and a musket were given up to the intruders, who then quietly left the place. Several magistrates reported midnight as semblies and drillings of men in their districts, and, after a brief discussion, Lord Bandon moved that a memorial be forwarded to the Government, praying that an additional police and military force be sta tioned in the county. The motion was passed unanimously, and the memorial was prepared. It was believed the measure proposed would -be suffi cient to preserve public order. Lord Shannon was then moved to the second chair, and a vote of thanks was passed to Lord Fermoy, after which the meeting separated. Yesterday investigations were held before the magistrates of Wexford, Lord Carew in the chair, and also before the magistrates of Waterford, which left no doubt that the conspiracy is extensive in both counties. Whether these occurrences, or in formation of the local doings of the Fenians, influ enced the Executive, is unknown, but the Privy Council met yesterday afternoon, and sat until a late hour, when orders were issued for the seizure of the Irish People, and the arrest of its principal employe's. The police performed this duty about ten o'clock at night, under the immediate superin tendence of the chief commissioner, the inspector generalbeing also on the alert, and needed, to co-operate with th e al Thomas Larcom remained in local cs men authorities. prepared, constabulary if sr his office in the Castle until one o'clock in the morning, by which time the presses, type, " copy," correspondence, and books of the Irish People had been conveyed by the police to their head office in the Lower Castle yard. When the police forced an entrance into the People office they found not a single person in the house, but there were arrested behind in a lane-way, endeavouring to effect their escape, the manager and some ten other persons employed on the paper. These persons having been taken into custody, and transferred to the Chancery lane and College-green stations, the police pro ceeded to remove the plant and everything con nected with the publication o f the paper. The charge against the prisoners, a s set forth in the warrants under which they have been arrested, is as follows :--" That they unlawfully and treasonably did conspire and combine with divers other evil- disposed persons belonging to a secret society called the Fenian Brotherhood, having for their objects the levy of war in Ireland against the Queen, and separating it from the United Kingdom." The person who seemed to have the chief manage ment of the Irish People is Mr. Jeremiah O'Donovan (Rossa), and he was arrested with the others whilst endeavouring to make his escape. This individual is already pretty well known in connection with the proceedings under the Treason Felony Act. At the spring assizes of 1859 he was arraigned in the county of Cork for being a member of the celebrated " Phoenix conspiracy," but his trial was not pro ceeded with, Mr. Whiteside, the then Attorney- General, declining to select a jury from the panel returned by the sheriff. An application to admit him to bail was subsequently unsuccessfully made to the Court of Queen's Bench. He was again put upon his trial at the summer assizes ; but a change of Government having occurred, the Attorney- General, Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald, entered upon office with a disposition for clemency, and accordingly Mr. O'Donovan was allowed to submit to the in dictment preferred against him on condition, of en tering into his own recognisances to come up for judgment when called upon. To this moment no call has been made upon him in respect of the former charge. During the night a variety of other arrests were made, among them Mr. George Hopper, of Dame street, who had an alleged connection with the Irish People. The seized copy of the paper is brimful of the sort of seditious matter to which it has commonly been devoted. They. t speak of " freeing Ireland by force," and attack the Roman Catholic ecclesiastics with great vehemence. The correspondence is the strik ing feature of the journal. It extends over nearly three pages, and is so pungently written that it is impossible to class it with ordinary newspaper letters sent to an editor by voluntary correspondents. The communications contain such phraseology as this— " Liberty the Irish will have," and " When they seek it, it will be in a different place than the Par liament of their oppressors," and " they will use different and more forcible arguments." One cor respondent is advised to put " more spirited words" to an air which he has described as " first-rate for marching." The mingled moderation, and at the, same time suggestiveness, of the phraseology em ployed by the writers of the People are, in fact, taken by many to be one strong proof that a con spiracy is on foot. Every returned Irish-American is said to have made the office of the People his head quarters. Large sums of money have been brought over, it is believed, by these returned Irish, and American bills have been cashed by the banks to large amounts for those persons within the last few days. It is certain that, if the progress of the plot had not been arrested at this stage, far greater dif ficulty would be experienced with it even a single month hence. To-day, when the prisoners were brought through the streets in the police van, they were feebly cheered by a crowd of the very lowest orders. The streets, though a little excitement existed,were quiet except in the immediate neighbourhood of the police court. The peace was kept as usual by mounted policeman, who had considerable difficulty in keep ing the approaches to the court open. At 25 minutes past three o'clock 21 .of the priso ners were brought up in custody before Messrs. Stronge and M'Dermott, charged upon the informa tion given by the police. Their names are—Thos. Clarke Luby, John O'Leary, Jeremiah O'Donovan (Rossa), George Hopper, James O'Connor, Morti mer Meenighan, Michael O'Neal Fogarty, Win. F. Roantree, P'erce Nagle, Maurice J. Magrath, Shawn O'Clancy, James Murphy, James Ashe, Cornelius O'Mahony, James Kenny, William Ryan, James Daniel O'Rorke, James Brennan, Michael O'Neill, Jeremiah O'Farrell, Joseph Haltigand, and J. Rynn. The prisoners having answered to their names, Mr. Barry, Q.C., who was instructed by Mr. An derson, Crown Solicitor, applied for a remand, on the ground that it was expected that further infor mation would be obtained and more arrests made. No objection having been made, the application was granted, and the prisoners were remanded until this day week. The prisoners were removed in custody, and placed in the prison van, a guard of mounted police accom panying the vehicle to the prison. A telegram from Cork states that the most in tense excitement was caused there this morning by the arrest of a large number of persons, charged with belonging to the Fenian Brotherhood. Be tween 3 and 4 a.m. a body of police, numbering aboit 100, divided themselves into small parties, and proceeded to make arrests in different parts of the town. A sword, pistols, and military uniform were found at the house of one of the parties arrested. The prisoners include several shopmcn an attorney's clerk, an artisan, &c. They have been arrested, it is said, on the intelligence given by an informer. A secret inquiry was held,#when the prisoners were all either committed for trial or for examination. A battery of artillery has arrived from Ballincolig. One hundred copies of the Irish People were seized by the police. This telegram ex- - . plains the object which the police h a d in stopping the despatch of telegrams to the provinces last night. An evening paper says :—" hrroneoui re ports being in circulation, we may state that the telegraph companies were merely requested by the Government to withhold telegrams respecting the Fenian arrests from the Irish provinces during the night, and that the communication with London and English stations was carried on freely, and the important news telegraphed by the Irish agents of the London journals in due course. To-day the tele grams are passing to and from the Irish provinces without any hinderance." The Daily Express contains a letter from Waterford de_ scribing the strong tendency towards Fenianism which the people of that town exhibit. The conspiracy, it alleges, is growing every day there ; its aims and progress, too, are almost the only topic of conversation. In the hotels are to be met well-dressed Yankees, who appear to have un limited means, and who speak of the invasion of Ireland by a Fenian fleet as a certainty within the next five months ; while in the public-houses the Fenians discuss their plans and ideas with as much freedom as if they were seated at the other side of the Atlantic. The immunity which has up to the present attended their illegal practices appears to have immeasurably increased their daring. They are well known to be engaged drilling at Rilbarry bog night after night, and yet no arrest has been made. The place where they practice their drill is now as bare and hard for an acre round as the highway. The writer himself saw men drilling in the heart of the town. A medical gentleman told him he was aware of the drill going on two mornings every week, and that he would give him an opportunity of judging for himself. Accordingly, they started for an unoc cupied house, saw two squads of ten men each being drilled. The idea of 20 men drilling in the midst of the city, within 170 yards of a police-barrack, at 5 45 in, the morning, was so novel, so unexpected, that it took some minutes to convince him of its reality. " I recognised,' , he says, " through the slit of the windows three of the faces, and then the solution was simple. They were young shopmen, who, I presume, could not be allowed out after ten o'clock at night by their employers, and who, conse quently, got up at four o'clock in the morning on the pre tence of bathing, or some other pretext, to take their les sons in drilling." Another means of propagating their ideas and making converts has been resorted to by the Fenians. All the regular ballad singers of the city have been subsidised by them. These commence operations every evening w ith nightfall, and, surrounded by l arge crowds, sometimes as many as 200 persons in one, continue to sing seditious songs until past 11 o'clock. To such as choose they give copies of the ballad; requiring no payment. These productions are of the most treasonable and seditious character. At petty sessions yesterday (before the mayor, Captain Newport, D.L.; Napoleon Bonaparte Wyse, D.L.; Captain Johnson, Alderman Denny, and Dr. John Mackesy), a well-dressed man, who gave his name as Martin Power, was brought up in custody, charged with singing and giving to others two seditious ballads, called respectively " The Fenian Men," and ." The Stars and Stripes." Mr. Edward Elliott, solicitor, prosecuted, in the absence of Mr. Kelly, sessional Crown prosecutor; and Mr., T. F. Strange, solicitor, whose name is well remembered in connection with the '4B movement, defended the prisoner. Two con stables proved the singing and selling. Mr. Strange con tended that there was nothing seditious in the ballads. The mayor delivered the judgment of the court, which was that the prisoner should find solvent bail that he offend no more, or go to gaol for six months. The prisoner at once accepted the latter alternative, muttering that he would "be out before that time." The case excited much interest, PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. and the body of the court was crowded by a great body of young men, who did not conceal their sympathy with the prisoner. They left the court in compact military order, and one of them loudly declared that the magistrates, in stead of the prisoner, would bo in gaol before the expira tion of tho six months. The case that came before Lord Carew at Wexford was one of illegal drilling. The accused were two cotmen, named Roche and Teulon, " fine, able young men." The first witness called was Mr. Loftus Carey, who deposed that ho was returning from Enniscorthy between 12 and one o'clock on the night of the 6th, in company with Mr. Charles Lett, from the agricultural dinner ; on going down the quay, and when near the Quaker's meeting-house, ho heard drilling on the Wexford-road ; went down and found about 20 men drilling; he spoke to the man who was dril ling them, and who appeared to have command, and asked him what he was doing ; he said drilling, and asked him to drill them, which he did, and then proposed that some drink should be got. They tried two houses, but got no drink. On marching down from the Shannon he caught the man that was drilling, and said he arrested him in the Queen's name, when he was knocked down. Mr. Carey, in reply to Lord Carew, added that he drilled the men for half an hour; he told the drill -master that he knew his drill very well, when that individual replied that he did, for he be longed to the " 99th ;" in answer to his remark that they were drilling in an exposed position, the drill-sergeant re sponded that he had taken every precaution. The witness was subjected to a severe cross-examination. He heard the words, "To the right face," "left face," and "quick march ;"was within 200 yards of them then, and the words were given in a loud voice. Teulon was not with the men he spoke to, but joined them afterwards. Teulon was asked why he left the ranks, and was told never to do so again. Had no notion of arresting the man until the very moment he did so ; he was sorry to see the men make such fools of themselves. The men were not allowed to speak whilst in the ranks. Ha did not see Roche until he knocked him down. Felt rather surprised that they let him drill them. Did not tell them he was an officer, but he told them that Mr. Lett was a lieutenant in the parent society. That was not true, though he had already sworn he had told no lies that night. " (Cheers.) This demonstration was quickly suppressed, and Lord Carew said, if repeated, the court should be cleared. Mr. Charles Lett gave .substantially the same evidence, and identified Teulon. For the defence Mr. Boland was exa mined, and swore that when Mr. Carey left the agricultural dinner he was not sober. The magistrates, after some consideration, resolved to send the accused for trial. Admission to Promenade, One Shilling. THE WELLINGTON, ST. JAMES'S-STREET.

Cattle 'Disease. On Saturday afternoon the Sanitarium Committee of the Metropolitan Cattle Plague Committee held a meeting at the Mansion-house. Mr. Gibbing, the chairman of the Corporation Markets Committee, was present, as were also Dr. Letheby, Medical Officer of Health for the city ; Dr. Aldis, Dr. Tripe, Dr Ansel], and Mr. Burge, all of whom are medical officers of heilth for metropolitan districts, and several members of the Court of Common Council. At present the Home-office and the committee appear to be at variance with respect to the establishment of sanita riums. A fund is being raised by the committee for the express purpose of founding such places, which fund al ready amounts to about £1,500, and for the purpose of compensating owners of cattle for losses by the disease un der certain conditions. Tho committee had also taken large buildings for the purpose in the northern, eastern, and the north-western parts of London, and are about to engage one for the southern part of the metropolis. In the meantime Sir G. Grey has forwarded them a report byPro fessor Symonds, at the head of the Government Veterinary Department, to the effect that in his opinion the establish ment of sanitariums on a scale contemplated by the Metro politan Committee is wholly impracticable, that they womlel be a great evil, as tending to perpetuate the contagion, and that nothing can be more fallacious than the supposition that the plague is a curable disease. As, however, men of as great repute in veterinary science and experience as Pro fessor Symonds are directly at variance with him on these matters, the Metropolitan Committee are making the neces sary preparations for establishing sanitariums,with a skilled veterinary superintendent for each, to act in concert with the district medical officers of health, and with ambulance vans to convey the animals that may be affected to these temporary hospitals. The first object sought to be attained by the committee is the separation of the diseased animals, in order to save those, if possible, as yet unaffected by the epidemic; and the next to try remedial measures, with a view to a cure, under proper veterinary supervision —excluding, however, the use of all mere nostrums or secret remedies. In addition to the implied discouragement of the Govern ment a new difficulty had arisen to hamper the proceedings of the committee. The inhabitants of the district in which it is proposed to set sanitariums on foot are taking alarm, and protesting. At the meeting on Saturday Dr. Aldis, the n2,1(14411 offieer_of health for St. Georges janover-square, presented a memorial from 42 of the principal inhabitants of Kinnerton-street (where it is proposed to establish a tem porary sanitarium), and from Wilton-crescent, ono of the memorialists being Mr. Norton, the Lambeth magistrate, stating grounds for foregoing such an intention in a part of the town already crowded with mews and stables, and where there were already two slaughterhouses and a dissecting room. Dr. Aldis said he did not object to sanitariums on principle, and he was of opinion that if the symptoms of the disdise could be early watched and treated by competent persons, much good would result, but - the misfortune was that the symptoms were not sufficiently early detected. He knew instances where diseased animals had recovered under proper supervision, but he thought it would be ob jectionable to establish sanitariums anywhere in London, for the excreta of diseased animals was something fearful. When the disease had reached its second or third stage it would, in his opinion, be more merciful to slaughter them than to try to cure them. In some places people were actually bleeding animals affected with the disease, and compelling them to drink their own blood, mixed with salts—a barbarous thing. That was really being done, and he thought it ought to be made public, to put people on their guard against the use of barbarous and secret remedies. A communication, dated the 13th inst., was read from Professor Dick, of the Veterinary College, Edinburgh, in reply to a letter addressed to him by the committee. He stated that they had been very unsuccessful in their sanita riums for cattle there; 36 had died, and only one was likely to recover, but in the various byres (sheds) in different parts of the city 22 were recovering. Much depended, he said, on taking a case as soon as the symptoms made their appear ance, and giving a quart bottle of linseed oil, with half a bottle of whisky, or from a half to a pound of salts, and repeating the dose next day, if the medicine had not ope rated, and afterwards giving sulphate of iron (half an ounce) night and morning. It was owing, he said, to the time lost in getting th e cows t o t h e san i tar i um an d i n their getting the medicine that they had been so unsuccessful. The CHAIRMAN explai ne d th a t the Metropolitan Com mittee had entered on this matter with the view to stop the plague if possible, and they Offered compensation to those whose cattle might be affected for the loss of the cattle provided that at the very earliest stage of the disease they gave information to the committee, so that the in fected animals might be forthwith removed to the sanita riums, where they would be treated in a manner compatible with the present state of veterinary science, While, how_ ever, they had been doing all in their power to check the disease, and the Corporation had generously headed a subscription with £l,OOO, for some reason or other which they could not understand they were thwarted by the Go vernment. . RIIDKIN complained that the orders in Council had been framed in so bungling a manner that it was impossible to get a conviction under them before a police magistrate, though the case was never so clear. The Government in spectors were veterinary surgeons, and the owners of the sheds over which they had control were their clients. That being so, the inspectors naturally said to their clients that they would do all they could to get them out of the difficulty, and the result was that infected animals were smuggled away for sale with the connivance of the Go vernment inspectors themselves. At present, therefore, the orders in Council were mere waste paper. Mr. BREWSTER said that Professor Symonds laughed at the idea of sending diseased cattle to sanitariums. If the committee established a sanitarium no diseased animal could be removed to it without the consent of a Government in spector, and if he refused his sa,nction,la,s he probably would do, there would be an end of the matte; and all care and labour would be wasted. He suggested that the committee should not move further in the matter until they had the direct countenance of the Government. Mr. BURGE, medical officer of health for the Hammer smith district, believing in the curability of the disease, urged the meeting to press the Government for the loan of wooden huts in which to treat animals affected with the disease in open spaces around London. Eventually, on the motion of Mr. RUDKIN, it was resolved that the committee seek an interview with the Lords of the Privy Council on Monday, with the view to press the Government for an answer to be allowed to establish sani tariums in the metropolitan districts. A number of subscriptions to the compensation fund were announced, including one from the Salters' Company of £5O; a collection in Renate Market by Mr. Rudkin amounting to £BO odd ; Messrs. Barnetts, Hoare, and Co., _ _ X2O ; Mr. Brewster, £2l; and Mr. G. Gasifier, £lO 10s. The meeting then separated. On Saturday evening a meeting of cow-keepers, dealers, dairymen, and others interested in the cattle plague,was held at the Duke's Head Tavern, Whitechapel-road, to receive the report of a committee, and to consider the most advis able course to adopt for the alleviation of the suffering oc casioned by the plague iu the Tower Hamlets districts. ~ e_ e e., , The following return of the number of 1 1 14'- cows originally kept, as we ll as thos . sz t d• r maining, was re a d : —Mile--end Old T w wyzer,tr„,,,, keepers, 27 ; cow s or i g i na ll y kept, 6*.; :•:. ! 53 ; remaining, 310.

The chairman said the above return was nearly accurate, and the losses which had been sustained should prompt them to take immediate:action for the sufferers. Mr. Brew ster thought they should ask a grant of the Government. -* The inhabitants of the cotton districts had obtained a grant, and the cattle plague was of as much importance to those connected with cattle as the cotton famine had been to the people of Lancashire. Mr. Bowyer said the cattle plague was a national affair, and the nation should make good the losses of the sufferers. He saw no reason why the income tax should not be increased id. in the pound, as taxpayers were the principal consumers of meat. Mr. Game urged tho meeting to wait on their parliamentary representatives in reference to the cattle plague. After some discussion it was resolved to appoint a deputation to wait on the sitting members and request them to convene a public meeting. NORFOLK. The subscriptions made in aid of the compensation fund administered by the Norfolk Cattle Plague Association now exceed £5,500. A meeting of the central committee was held at Norwich on Saturday, Mr. C. S. Read, M.P., in the chair. Numerous fresh cases were reported. Mr. R. Har vey, M.P., had lost about 40 head of cattle. Mr. Harvey, in a recent correspondence with Mr. Read, expressed his opinion that the statements made as to the prevalence of the disease were exaggerated. On Saturday he stated that he should increaseilbis.subscription to the funds of the association from £5O to £lOO. An instance was mentioned in which three or four head of cattle had died at Blakeney. The disease was supposed to have been com municated by sheep. Other cases of disease were reported from Loddon, Brockdish, Swainsthorpe, Gimingham, & c . The great heat which has prevailed in Norfolk during last ten days is considered to be unfavourable. ESSEX. The disease is increasing in the Tearing Hundred. The dairy of Mr. Page, of Little Bentley, who has been a sufferer, is supposed to have been infected through a num ber of cattle breaking through the fence of a field in which they were grazing. SUFFOLK. The disease has made its appearance in the parishes of Gislingham andßickinghall, At Coddenham, also, several cows have died, and at Mickfield five or six bullocks have been lost. At Melford, where the disease has specially proved fatal, it continues to spread. Various local farmers have been sufferers, and the stock in MeHord-hall-park is reduced to between 20 and 30 out of a herd of 130. Lord Rendlesham has intimated to his tenants that in the event of their losing any neat stock from the cattle plague he will, provided they are iasured in the Suffolk County Cattle Plague Association, contribute 20 per cent. on the amount of the compensation received from the association. WORCESTERSHIRE. At a meeting of agriculturists held at Worcester on Saturday, the rules of a Cattle Assurance Society prop ose d to be established for this county were drawn up for sub mission to a public meeting to be held here on Thursday, at which Lord Lyttelton, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, is to preside. HEREFORDSHIRE. The Herefordshire Agricultural Society has held a special meeting, and resolved not to hold its annual meeting for the exhibition of stock this year on account of the preva lence of the cattle disease. SHROPSHIRE. The Ludlow Agricultural Society holds its annual meet ing to-day (Monday), but the South Salop Society, which meets at Cleobury Mortimer, has decided not to hold a meeting this year. NORTHUMBERLAND. The rinderpest has made its appearance in the centre of Northumberland. Mr. Mather, of Old Felton, purchased about 40 Irish beasts at Morpeth a fortnight ago. They were driven home and put into a fold close by the homestead. In a few days ono or two of them became ill. Mr. Atkin, tho veterinary surgeon, of Felton, was called in, and ho said they were suffering from a disease of which he hitherto had no experience. The cattle were immediately ordered to be separated from the rest of the herd, • when two of them died and a third was killed. From a post mortem examination all the appearance of the rinderpest were detected. The carcases were all deeply buried, and a large quantity of chloride of lime was strewn over the ground. None of the other beasts have been affected, though some of Mr. Ma ther's beasts have the common murrain. The disease has appeared among the cows at South Shields and Ilebburn, on the Tyne, but not to any very alarming extent. Chase after Fraudulent Bankrupts. tf , ....- ...... (From the Leeds Mercury.) It will be remembered that about three months ago two manufacturers in Gomersal, named Blackburn, absconded to America with goods and money to the amount of £30,000. The creditors were naturally deeply incensed at their con duct, and Superintendent Hunt, of the Leeds detective police, was sent after the men to endeavour, if possible, to recover part of the property. On arriving at New York, Mr. Hunt ascertained that part of the property, consisting of forty-six bales of the cloth, was stored in one of the Custom-house warehouses ; but as no trace could be found of the Blackburns, it was quite evident that they had gone accompanied by a younger brother, into the interior of the country, with the view of avoiding the result of any mis sion such as that engaging the attention of the Leeds super intendent. About a week after Mr. Hunt's arrival, he heard by accident that a fourth brother had come out, and having by this time considerably changed his personal ap pearance, he obtained an introduction to the younger Black burn. Not only did the latter fail to reeogniso Mr. Hunt, but actually told him in confidence that a Leeds detective was coming out in search of his brothers, and that he intended to warn them of the pursuit. As might be ex pected,M viewtr g the. gainingiln entered thtebrreodheeras7 and assisted rtilyintohis him inover hauling schemeforcom wiutht h passengers of all the steamers ar r i v i ng out, with information regardi ng th e probable mhue ni eanof ar rival of the expected detective. After a few days Mr. Blackburn went to New Jersey, and sending a man to watch his movements, Mr. Hunt remained in New York, where he entertained strong hopes of meeting with the elder bro thers. A bill of lading addressed to the Messrs. Blackburn for 20 bales of cloth had been intercepted at Liverpool, and as its possession was necessary before the goods could be obtained, it amounted to almost a certainty that the em bezzlers would call at Inman's shipping office in the Broad way to ask after the bill. Mr. Hunt hung about this office for some time, and at last his patience was rewarded by the appearance one morning of the elder Blackburn and Mx. Walter Blackburn. Mr. Hunt was sitting in the office at the time; but quickly adopting his plans, he bustled up to the visitors and requested to know their busi ness. Mr. Blackburn stated that they had called respect ing a bill of lading for twenty bales of cloth which had come by the Edinburgh. Mr. Hunt replied that all the questions with regard to the bill would be answered at the branch office at Exchange-place, and that as he was going in that direction he would show them the place. The Blackburns at once complied, evidently having no suspi cion of whose hands they had fallen into. On the way Mr. Blackburn remarked that Mr. Hunt did not speak lik e an American. "No," replied the wily superin tendent, " strangely enough, everybody can tell the Irish tongue." He was then asked how long he had been in the country, and evasively replied that he had not been there six years yet. .In his turn Mr. Hunt asked the Black burn& what part of the country they belonged to, and was told that they came from near Huddersfield. It is need less to detail the conversation that took place on arriving at Exchange-place. Suffice it to say that by means of keeping up a conversation with some person supposed to be in an empty room there, he induced the Blackburns to endorse the bill of lading which had been intercepted, and also to give up and endorse another bill and invoice for 26 addi tional bales. After the bills were safely deposited in his pocketbook he proclaimed Ihis calling, and, much to the astonishment of Mr. Blackburn, produced a warrant for his arrest on a charge of embezzle ment. Blackurn, however, ]mew that the warrant was of little avail under the circumstances, and after blustering a good deal, ho departed with his brother, declaring that he would have Mr. Hunt arrested for depriving him in the planner be had done of the bills of sale. Although that gentleman remained some time in America this threat was never carried into execution, and after exchanging the bills of sale and the invoices for Customhouse permits, and handing them over to the solicitor appointed to act in New York for the creditors of the Blackburns, Mr. Hunt re turned to this country, arriving in Leeds in the beginning of this week. The value of the property recovered is be tween £5,000 and £6,000.
