THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

The following communication has been addressed
to Karl Russell, KG., by her Majesty's Consul at
Rotterdam :

Rotterdam. Sept. 9..1885.

My Lord, —I have the honour to Inform your lordship
that the municipal authorities of this city here resolved
upon closing the Nitae market for the present, unit' further
notice, as a precautionary measure against the spread of
the prevailiag cattle diesees.—l have, ?co.,
The Earl BosselL It. W. Tutus°.

We are sorry to state that the disease continues
to show itself in different parts of the neighbourhood of
One,. Since our last report, Mrs. P. Babas, of fitagde-
ford, has lost • boiler ; Mr. Crawley, of the same photw hes
had sorsa attacked, four of which are dead, and three are
reoevering ; Mr. liworder, of Tawney Hell, bee lost •
bullock, end three ethers are down with the malady ; sad
Mr. Milbank, of Botibtagworth Ball, has lost soother fire
cow, within dues weeks of calving, nuking 26 head of
cattle he has lost by the plague.—Chelinsforaf Ckroaick.

The disease is stil7rprOZliug rapidly in the city,
especially ie those byres in which it previously existed.
Tea cues of riederpeet were reported to t►e iespcctor yes-
terday is old byres ; and au eau in a byre w►ich bad not
before bees infected. Dime salmis had died in the tows
and me in the sanitarium. Three fresh cues and a death
era also reported from Rossburn ; and one cue
from Portobello, this being the first symptoms of the
disuse in that quarter. The inspectors were in atteedame
at Falkirk Tryst during the last three days for the summ-
ation of cattle, but no OW of disuse was discovered by
them in that quarter. At the Edinburgh cattle market yes-
terday there was a smaller show of cattle than ►ad takes
place for probably twenty years, owing no dcubt to the
apprehensions entertained of spreading the disease. The
Farmer says that is many of the diatnets which are as yet
clear of the plague, pleas° pneumonia is unusually prevalent
and fatal.—lidinbaryn Courant.

A meeting of the Cattle Plague Committee was
bald oa Wedoesday at the Massion-house ; Mr. Robert
O'Brien, T.C., in the chair. At the suggestion of the chair-
man, a resolution was adopted galling on government to
appoint proper persons to inspect all sheep shipped to Ire-
bind, with s view to reject diseased animals, sod to have
the others disinfected before shipment, end the twos
operatkw to be repeated on landing in Ire-
land ; also that milway tenets mid vessels should be
subjectwd to a disisfecting proems before and after
earryieg stock. Captain Thornhill oommusicated a letter
on the subject of the cattle disease said to have been im-
ported into Donegal by Scotch lambi. The writer was at
the fair of Fistown oo the 4th inst., at which between
4,000 and 5,000 sheep and lambs are usually exposed for
sale, but though there was no d.ubt that Brotch
lambs bad bees there, he did not find a single
case of the plume. A letter was also reed from the
secretary of the Donegal Farming Society, slitting that, so
far as he weld semirtsin, there was no apple/amps of the
cattle plague in that county.

HYDROPHOBIA AMONG CATTLI. -- Mr. Thomas
Majnr, bailiff at Grammy Farm, Brigham, has furnished
the following particulars of what is presumed to be hydro-
phobia amour the *tattle of his farm :—"A and dog broke
loose 'from Torquay in the early part of July, sod we
totted him dead en oar remade as the 11th of the same
month, amongst a bard of nine or tea dairy cows ; and au
the 9th of August we found one of the cows show avenge
symptoms. A yeterieary aureola ms at mos called is
who seemed for the time to be seaware of the estate of the
malady ; but the following day nothlog could be ere plain
thee that it was a cam of hydrophobia. At outs all prover
promotions were taboo to prevent other cows from going
neer the one affected, sod she was shot and buried after 24
Mors; and all strew, doer, and everything neer where she
had been ware burned. Fourteen days afterwards mother
oow was Mims with the sagas nroptoms, bat sot so vio-
lently, and grew weaker hourly. She was also shot sod
buried as the other. Sicce thee ell the other cows have
hese sod kill are healthy end well."
