A meeting of the members of the Royal North
Laseaskire .Agriculturil Society and others, was held at
Prestos en Saturday (titanic:es ; the MAYOR in the chair.
Colonel Wan= Parris, ILP., remarked that at two
wmltural mestiogs is North Lsocethire be had stated
that the subject of cattle dimes., should to discussed under
two heads—tiret of all, as to what power or means they had
for avoiding the disease altogether in the district, aid, in
the oat piths, as to the mode of dealing with it if it should
unhappily come amongst them. He was very mesh afraid
from what he had beard today that the disease had already
got near them—that • ease of the disease bad theured es
Hereby, sera milee north of Lacesster. Relative to the
means to
provost she spread of the disease, he did not think
they could do • greet deal, but they should all do whet
they could. Her liejerty's gtheromest had enam-
eled the appeiatment •of so inspestor for each petty
sectional division, and be thought that a raiser abeeld so
trout that meeting to the magistrates of such divider in
Ythe sosmty desiring them to appoint inspectors without loss
time. The government had authorised oleo the parnest
lattOrtitneather Op, ad'initilliterPniall, htiresteell
it
bsay district whom the diessekbed sopeamd bat if
Waters were sot appointed before the disease ritually
broke out • great deal of time might be lost before they
were ready foe duty. The best course to adopt would be to
be ready with inspsetors. previously appoiuted. the ma
meat the disease appeared in any district. In the
moth place, be thought the meeting, which was as
Leanest& cue, should mad • sort of ntiotantiodatios
to the firmest of each district, galling their spe-
eded attention to the disease, and suggestteg that they
should take some active sosimares in their owe beatifies for
protection against dieser. He did not believe they mead
force people so take such step, but they might suggest
them. He thought that if they undertook to protect the
whole of the maim they would fail ; they most not exteud
their operative over too large an area. He had read all
the dinnertime which had tram place in regard to the dis-
ease, and the growth °pietist seemed to be that if • very
large district were taken in hand by the body, they
would fail. Prior to rsediug those diatherm' he had
held an ophsioa jut the reverse, aud thought that the
larger the distrist taken is haod the better it would
be. He, however, had altered his mind on the subject. If
they could establish some society for the whole of North
Ltheathire—if all farmers within the division combioth—
the loss upon each would be lees thee if the society were
smeller; but then the difficulty was in getting all to wa-
nder the matter properly. Several parties did not look
upon the disease with sufficient alarm, whilst others viewed
it with too much. Combination established within the
bounds of each union would, be thought, be quite large
though.
Mr. TORII= PAM= wasted to know who would have
torhatis inspectors of diseased cittle.
Parrth replied that there was no doubt they
would be paid out of the Treasury.
Alter gems did=ll.6oo, Colonel PATIZII moved, "That
it be • rectionmendatiou of this meeting to the magistrates
of each petty sessional division of North Lancashire to
asthma • cretin farther ith, to consider the order in woo-
ed se the lltia August, and to be prepared with as in-
spector to carry out the provisions of the order immedi-
ately out the tattle disease appearing in the district."
The Rev. L. 0. IV 00D seconded the motion, which was
carried unanimously.
Mr. TOWYLIT PAM= wished to know if it were pos-
sible for es inspestor, after ratios a diseased herd, to
carry the disease to another stock previously unaffected
by it.
Mr. HARTLEY replied that the disease might be so carried.
sod that he should decidedly object to an inspector
war
his stock after be. had been to inspect one which was
dammed.
It,. itionAsno—l should, too.
Mr. Fail said that if • farmer received • visit from as
inspector, there would be no necessity for him to go
amongst healthy stock: be might look at those animals
which were sueposted, sad which might be separated from
the healthy cattle.
Colonel Perms afterwards moved :—" That it be a re-
commendatios of this meetlog to the inhabitaste of each
poor-law onion is North Latiaabire to organic, forthwith,
within the limits of the thine, a system of mutual protect-
reties apron the offers of the cattle disease."
The motion wee agreed to unanimously.

PARKER, it was resolved unanimously, " That the chair-
man of this meeting be requested to communicate with the
Lords dam CouseiLeskivg them to extend the operattosof

is apprebsoded, so as to permit the inspection of shipping,
he., previous to the actual appearance of disease."
Mr. Jerson said that a similar motion had bees passed
by the authorities in Liverpool.
A committee of twelve irluential agriculturists was
afterwards appointed, "For the purpose of circulating
through the various unties of North Ler:whirs inform,
'estate with reforenceto the nature of the cattledisesee, and
the remedies to be applied is case it comes amoagat
