SPREAD OF THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

The papers which we have received this morning
from various parts of the country sadly harmonise with
the last weekly official report. In York and the district
the cattle disease shows no signs of abatement, and the York
Herald says that for every rejected ease of recovery there are
a hundred fatalities. Is Cambridgeshire a great number of
cases are still occurring. Among the places especially
mentioned by the Candrridne Independent as subject to
plaque are Willingham. Over, Taft, Great Eversden,
and Lilwortb. In Norfolk the state of things is
similar. In this district the disease has jest commenced
its ravages at Marshland, and several valuable animals
have been lost ; while out of 103 foreign animals which
were lately drives to Tbursford nearly all have
bad to be slaughtered. On Thursday a meeting
of about one hundred Somersetshire magistrates de.
terminkd to recommend each petty sessional division in
the ninety to close the markets till the Ist of March.
e Cumberland magistrates have established mounted
patrols on the roads, as they did in the days of the border
wars, to keep the S.mtch out.
