I. TAR Disktnal. of the late Prince Consort
which the Queen is at this moment seeking ,1
to perpetuate in Coburg, the place of his
birth, has not been forgotten in t ngland
r during her Majesty's absence. Saturday was
the anniversary or the late Prince's birth,
and, in accordance with a popular arrange-
ment introduced last year, a great London
holiday was made in the Royal Horticaltinral
Gardens at South Kensington, by the men
who form the real true stamina of such a
country as ours—the working classes, their
wivoth and families. The idea here is to per.: I
petuate the memory of one, sive a public
writer, whose love of all that *ls beautiful
in nature and art was proverbial, and whose
earnest desire to awaken kindred feelings in
the minds of others was constantly exhibiting
Ample proof of the appreciation of

has animated all through the laity of the
vicinity in providing a memorial church in
remembrance of as good a man as.ever filled
the pastoral office—the late Rev. George
Raymond. Our French neighbours delight
in commemorating those who amongst them
have earned the apprObation of their fellow-
men, till there is scarcely a French village
but boasta. of its grand homme, and can point
to his statue. The Swiss do the same; and
yet we in England are so prone to suffer the
memories and examples of men of God. like
George Raymond, to psss [URI perish iu
the oblivion of a single generation, although it
dilly be that their lives were quite- as admir-
able and as commendable as those of Oberlin
or Felix Neff. That Symondsbury has not
suffered this reproach to rest upon it is due,
we say, alike to lay and clerical influence.
We mention no names—bat the Measures and
the motives that prompted the erection of
this local memorial ehurch are well and widely
understood And valued, ,

After that incubative stage however, so rapid is
the progress of the disorder that at Nottingham
an animal, which had first refused its meal iu the
morning of the day before its death, expired In

m the aid ot a wlall:knOwli thediefil Mail, Dr.
Tyndfil Robertson at the pose moriem examina-
tion, and we have that gentleman's authority for
stating that the type of this awful disease cor-
responds in his opinion with the typhoid fever
which is found so fatal in the human subject. It
is not communicable to man from the lower
aniniale, and ig couilned to the ok ifibe, but as in
tyDlitis and typhoid fever the chief infection, it
ought to be universally known, is that conveyed
by the voidings,

CATTLE PLAGUE.
The Committee appointed by the Bath and
West of England SorLety to obtain and circulate
intotrnation tall attentiOn to the following
impertant facts :
Under authority of an Act of Parliament, the
Goverumept have issued orders, of which the
prOtieal efibet is fci,llBwg--,.
Any person haVing in his possessioii an animal
affected with the cattle plague is bound, if
resident in a corporate town, to give notice of
the fact to the mayor, and if resident elsewhere,
to the clerk of the magistrates.
The mayor or magistrates may appoint an
inspector.
The inspector has a right to enter on any pre-
Mises *here tie lita reason to suspeet there is an
animal affected with the cattle plague.
In districts }there an inspector shall have been
appointed, all Militant Offering must be kept
Illiparate, and no animal which has been kept in
the same house, or has been herded with them,
shall he sent to market without license of the
inspector. If any animal die, it must be buried
on or close to the premises.
Any one disobeying this order is liable to a
fine of £2O.

tie* that the
elections are eVer, to say very much for the
pl'elient about politics--but we find the truth

truth does not appear to be one of those cases
in which it can be said that "prudence is silver
but silence is gold." In politics the rule le
if you have anything to may, say it," That
may certainly not be politic, but it is gout

Wilkiebe iliage politiaitins the affidri3Of the

ethicist ominous forecasts of coming dearth,
if not disease, politicians are fain to speculate
upon the relief possible to be afforded by the
firm action of a strong and liberal Govern.
, ment which the country has Wisely placed le
a better positioe than eVer to carry biit
popular and beneficial ibr the good
of the cemnitiiiity, That the direction which
Olt% pest history indicates for their future
career will be that of a relaxation of the pub-
lic burdens and of the pressure of taxation
who can doubt ? It is vain and ablufd to
say that a Cabinet Which in the course of a
given numbet or years has effected the re-
thitition of six millions of taxation has done
nothing. Instead of its being no merit to
the Government to make theae reductions,
instead of their being due to the increase and
progress of the material prosperity of the
conutry, as "the obstructives" allege, why, it
is plain to common sense add coninlon reason
that if oat -revenues have simply advanced so
as to stiffer these six millions to be dispensed
with without inconvenience, the credit of
remitting them is on that account doubled, at
least in a fiscal point of view; for these six
millions, had they continued to affect us,
would have advanced with our advancement,
and have by this time becolile tweiVe ; and
there is no temptation that besets a minister
at all comparable to the temptation to indulge
in needless, or perhaps not altogether need-
less, yet sweeping expenditure, where he is
subjected to the embarrassment of a too
easily got surplus. The faults Intl Alibied of
a finance minister, his hobbies, perhaps, and
fancies May yet be transparent, yet, if he
should happen to possess the nerve to do
away with unnecessary taxation, he thereby
affords as the best possible guarantee against
a wasteful expenditure. Our navies may not
be what we could wish, but whilst they are,
even to the blot detail of ithprovement,
superior to the trench, as we think we may
say without discourtesy to our gallant neigh-
bours ha a been proved by recently insti-
tuted comparison, we can allow our public
economists to pare away at the estimates, and
calmly rely titi being able to mature the
effeettee strength of our national defences,
step for step, arid side by side with the other
nations of the world. It is rather the
pinching which impend's over out' social and
domestic relations that induces. us to turn
with confidence and expectatibil to the
Slusecial genius of Mr. dladetutie in the hope
of seeing some relief operated iii these quarters.
Whateveewe may have had occasion to say of
the right hon. gentleman as a churchman, -we
confess that as a financier there is no
man better imbued with sympathies for the
poor, readier to discover the best remedial
means in case of the pressure upon them of
famine prices in the coming *inter, or more
fertile in really popular expedients for modify-
ing the charatter and tteeteint of taxation, and
thus relieritig the springs of industry. With
the prospect of high prices now before the
country—with mutton at Marlborough fair
realising the highest prices of the present
century even a tolerably faVolirable
harvest promisee ritithitig but hardship for
the poor, because of the increased con-
liiimption of breadstuffs arising from the
scarcity and coet of every other class of pro-
visions. A popular minister would need,
then, to have his hands steetigthened in case
there might be remedial measures within his
podier ; and we trust and feel that for this
great end the best use will be made,, when
the time arrives, of the Ministerial -majority
which has been returned to Parliament.
IV. The questions raised in deep agricultural
oonteave at the Dorset County Meeting, as else-
where, on Saturday—for it was much the same
at Blandford—were strangely enough not directly
but indirectly calculated to meet and dope with
the cattle pestilence. Now, before touching upon
tile*, points, we feel seriously disposed to ask,
do ont agricultural Mends actually realise the
terrible pressure of the emergency, and the ab.
solute necessity for immediate union NothinL
was said about tali* at all events at the Dorches-
ter County Meeting, but in addition to the
divisional meeting at Blandford, other Dorset
divisional meetings are about to ensue—one at
Wareham on Tuesday—another on Thursday at
Sturminater—and, as we said lent week, the ,
limited area being the Metl! elpreasly calculated
to enable tint betbreak of disease to be attacked,
in detail, we should expect that at meetings such
as these attention will be given to the instant/64:i

than to mere legal discussions relating to financial,

difficulty in harmonising the action of two disi•
tinct sets of associations—a general association
(call it a county association or not), to rienomplish
a combined action by which alone the general

to a common bearing Upon the Other—and local

to itonfiase it. ravages to the spot in which it
appears. But there it makes sad work. And it.
is only natural to expect that it will appear in
detached spots in this way and in each case corn-
plate the destruotion once eommenced. Thee-only
effort, therefore, that can be of any avail will
, be that of attemping to confine the
within the narrowest bolinds, and ever
to check it within these limits by the prompt de-
struction of the animals affected. To provide an
indemnity for losses, we are of opinion
that a sufficient area ought to be adopted for
raising and, at the same time, diffusing the
pressure of a good insurance fund. But as this
would seem to be the vexed question of the oc-
casion—localities hoping to be exempt from the
visitation doubtless aiming at insuring them-
selves—whilst those that may most probably be
affected by it, can scarcely bear the dead
weight of their own immediate losses—we would
again urge that the emergency is so urgent that
, deliberating and debating upon ponies like
the.e we may be on the verge of unprovided dis-
aster. Something like this took place in Edin-
burgh—but there as in London—the metropoli-
tan dairies, filled with animals in an artificial
condition, were found so susceptible of the disease WEYMOUTM.

sovereign; two half-sovereigns, and a two-shilling-
piece. Rebecca Langford, pfostitor's wife, 80 years
of age, corroborated some portions of her hiisband's
evidence, whilst in others she flatly contradicted him.
She said that he had accused her of stealing the
money; he was always afraid that she would rob
him, but she did not know anything about this
money. Her husband always slept with his money
in his waistcoat pocket. He was often liehtheadwl
There being a doubt in the case, the Bench gave' the
prisoner the benefit of it, and dismissed her.
Benjamin Stone, John Pettier', Benjamin Petters,
and James Greening, four young men of Portland,
were charged with stealing two duck., the property
of Rainy Trim, of the same place. Mr. Howard
appeared for defendants. Prosecutor said he did not
wish to Ores" the ease; as he believed the men were
intoxicated at the tone. The ease was settled with-
out the interference of the Bench.

THE ANNUAL LICIINSING DAY:—Wedtleddity being
the day for the magistrates to renew the various pub-,
limns' licences, and also to receive applications for
new, the following were present :—The Mayor (Cap-
tain Prowse), W. Talbot, J. Ayling, W. Symonds,
and L Penny, &qrs. The Whole of the old licenses,
about sixty in number, were renewed, with the ex,
caption of one, the Antelope Inn, that being
suspended on account of its being kept in an
Improper manner. The Mayor, in giving the,
decision of the Beech in this case, remarked.
that the house was oonducted In a most dis-
graceful Manner, and he had received a petition,
meat numerously signed, to that egad.. Mr. Howard,
abo supported the application, said the bowie wit
itbont to change hands and would be kept in i pre*.
canine—Superintendent Lidbury gave the hotitie a
bad name, remarking that within the past two years
there had been eight or nine different landlords; but ,
each change was for the itotee.-,-The Bench post-
poned the granting of the license until .Beutemben
There were 19 applications for spirit hi:eerie* the
first being that of the Bird-in-Haud, Nicholas-street.
Mr. Hare supported the application, basing his
cause upon the fact that the house was opposite the
New Music Hall, and that it would, therefore, be a
great oonvenience to the general public if the license
were granted. —Old tiridge Inn, Bridge-building. Mr.
Tizard appeared on behalf of tbia application, and
contended that as the tolls had been taken off the
bridge, the traffic over it had considerably acs-eased,
and produced a memorial praying that the house in
question might be licensed.—Foresters Retreat, 41,
St. Thomas-street Mr. Howard supported the ap-
plication, and said that as nearly £1,500 had been
spent on the property, it was well deserving of a
spirit license.—Foreaters Atm, Great George-street.
Mr. Hare appeared in support, kid alluded to the
many improvements which "ad taken place iii the
house since the last application. Be thought if any
license waseranted it ought to be his clients house.- -
The Market-house Tavqrn, Maiden-street. Mr. Tizard
appeared on behalf of this application, and alluded
to the necessity there was for this hofirie to be lioeneed
as it was in close proximity to the Market-hotita.
The 13ridport Arms, St Thomas-street Mr. Howard
supported, and Mr, Barrett, of the firm of Messrs.
A ndreweand Barrett, opposed: Mr. Howard produced
a numerously signed meniorial in &To* of the house
being licensed, and remarked that the bench inti-
mated last year that if the house was Well ooncludted
this year they might grant the license. Mr. Barrett
contended that there was already a sufficient num-
her of public-houses in the town and did not require
to be increased. The applicant last year wan a Mr.
Fitch, now it was Mr. Roberts. The house was
surrounded by licensed houses, and there was no
reason why an additional one was required.—Tivoli
Gardens, Franchise-street. Mr. flare supported,
and adduced arguments in favour of the holise being
lioeneed.—Portere Arms, Mary-street. Mr. Tizard
said the house was near the Quay, and often spirits
were asked for.—Howe's Refreehment Rooms, 10,
Augusta-place. Mr. Howard spoke in favour of the
application, alluding to the high character of his
client, and the iherease of visitors to the town, who
were in heed of spititrious liquors.--Prince of Wales
Tavern, Park-etreet. Mr. Taard based his applica-
tion on the respectability of his client, the increase
of population in Park-stred, and vicinity of the
tavern to the railway station.—Ster and Garter,
Crescent-street. Mr. Howard adduced arguments in
favour of the house being licensed, one of which was
that if the French fleet came in the roads the public.
house accommodation would be inadequate to the
demand.—Shipwrights Arms, Salem-place, the Red
White and Blue, Governor's-lane, the Bridge Inn,
Commercial-road, the Milton Arms, Pettieostdane,
the New Rooms, Cove Row, the Royal Engineer,
Prospect-place. and the Butchers Arms, West-street,
were represented by Mr. Howard, who adduced
the usual arguments in support. This conoluded the
list of applications, and after the Bench had retired
far a short time to oonsult, the Mayor said the
Bench had carefully considered the whole of the ,
applications, hut when they took into consideration
the fact that there were already 63 licensed houses
and 30 beer shops in the town, which, with other
houses, made 106 howe of refreshment, they did
not see that there was spy need for granting more •
licensee. The Bench had fully determined to grant
a license to the Bridpori Arm., but could not do so
now on account of there being a new landlord.
Under these circumstances the Bench had determined
not to great a single hoe.--
