THE DORBET COUNTY EXPRESS AND AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE, TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1872

upon the of his first appearance is upon
many terms still upon the 4ronud waiting
for • few hours' sunshine to put it into a state to
carry—and how long we may have to wait for
tbe sun, even Zsdkiel might be puzzled to tell
us unites the glimpse we had of It on Monday in
• gray sky is • promise of its re-appearance.
I To add to the oomplications and possible losses
of the egrieeltusists, the foot and mouth disease
has reappeared in all the Western counties, par-
ticularlr in Dorset., Gloucester, and Somerset,
and the returns look serious, especially when
we recollect the present price of mutton and the
diminishing number of fioclui. This disease is
; apparently taking up its quarters permanently
among us, and will have to be dealt with, if ills
to be extinguished, very differently to what it
• has been. According to Mr. Denchfield, the
i sheep salesman, the loss of Suglish farmers
through this disease in the past six months over-
balances all our importations of live stock from
the pastures of the Continent in the previous
three yaws. This question of our meat supply
and of cattle disease will before long have to be
thoroughly discussed by Parliament; and we are
glad to see that Mr. tioward, • practical man,
has • motion on the Notice Paper which will
raise the witobs question afresh before the session
is over.

The noliborne Claimant is still on the stump.
He turned up at Swansea on Thursday night
with • brace of M.P.'s, Mr. Whalley and Mr.
Guildford Onolow, and although he has lost his
secretary and treasurer within Inc week, his fund
is still on the increase. The Attorney-General
does not intend to appear in court again against
him, allowing his juniors to carry on the case ;
but I wit proposes to get rid of the Claimant
and • couple more disagreeable things by marry-
ing "Sir Roger" and the Deceased Wife a Sister
and settling the Alabama Claims upon the happy
couple.
The treaty between France and Germany for
the early evacuation of French territory was
signed on Saturday. It is considered favourable
to M. Thiess, only slight modifications having
been made in his proposals. All the clauses of
distill to tax stooks and shares were
carried the Assembly on Saturday.
The rate is to be 3 par cent.; but an amend-
ment of M. Pouyer-Quertier to subject foreign
securities to the same impost was opposed as
injudicious, on the eve of issuing the new loan.
Germany has finally decided not to establish an
embeesy at the Papal Court. The. Spanish
Senate and Congress have been dissolved. The
elections are fixed for the 24th of August, • and
the new Cortes will assemble on the loth of
September. Advices from the northern pro-
vinces stabs that the Carlist movement is totally
disorganised, and that no band exists oomposed
of more than 25 men.
