FARMITIM' RIOTS AT CAILLISLI.^-011 Saturday a
series of riots mums under notice at the city and county
police courts, Carlisle, in which the mayor, the town clerk,
the chief constable, and the city surveyor preferred charges
of assault against Mr. Milton Carr, a farmer Reisso at
Cargo, who, it was alleged, was the ringleader of • mb
of excited agriculturist& The facie were these :—So marry

provide them with burial on corporation ground. An
to
attempt was made to burn thecareases, but that had to be
abandoned, and after careful consideration it was at last
decided to cart the bodies to Kiogoroor race-course, •
piece of waste ground belonging to tb• corporatioa, about
three miles north of the city. Accordingly, five or six
disused cows were taken there and buried in a deep
trench, but not without the most violent resistance of the
farmers for miles around. In fact, Mr. Carr was at one
time about to shoot the horse which drew the carcases.
On Friday afternoon, the mayor, the town clerk, the chief
countable, and the surveyor were on their way to Bing-
moor in • cab, but were stopped within this city by Mr.
Carr and about 20 other farmers, who brandished cudgels
in their faces, mid obliged the occupants of the cab
alight. The latter, however, walked 00, the cab follow-
Kinand afterwards the managed to get off, and reach
gmoor. But they bad not been long there before
Mr. Carr and his party arrived, and a riot was the result.
His worship was oolLtred, one ot the men saying that if he
did not make off he would get "a good walloping." The
civic functionaries were all assaulted, and the surveyor in
particular sustained personal injuries. Moreover,

they so
severely belaboured the cab horse with their cuclite as to
warrant a summons being issued against them for a

at Kiogmoor will be heard in fall next Saturday ; but on
Saturday last Mr. Carr was apprehended in the street, and
taken before • special session of city justioes, on the charfterge
of assaulting the surveyor within the borough, which, a
several scenes of disorder, was dismissed.
AGRICULTURAL Paosrwrs.—All accounts agree
in stating the finish of wheat sowing to have been satisfac-
torily accomplished during more than the recent run of fine
dry weather, with the wind prevailing from the N.E.,
accompanied by • very high barometer. The week opened
fine and dry, but with occasionally • thick atmosphere ;
wind N. Monday was • thick foggy day, very dense in the
forepaw), wind N. to N.E., thermometer 46 degrees, and
barometer 30.45 inches. On Tuesday the wind got route
to the RE., barometer down to 30.10 inches, having
fallen steadily most part of the day, with slight
he
drizzling rain, and • change appeared at band in t
state of the weather. Our advice* on that day from
Lancashire stated :—" A continuance of fine dry weather
has proved of great importance to the agricultural
interest in enabling a considerable further breadth of wheat
land to be planted, and the fall-sowiog of this grain ma
wny
be counted upon as almost complell on the ground." From
eted, and the earir.so
is generally reported as looking w
the East Riding of Yorkshire it was remarked :—" Weather
le now mild sod open. and the young wheats are looking
remarkably well." From Northumberlandwea-
ther since our last report has been fine ; wind N. and
N. W. To-day is frosty ; wind W." The advice, f rom
Scotland as regards the season have been favourable •as
from thence it was stated :—" We have bad • week of bolo-
%dui weather for the season of the year, with an °norms-
dentedly high barometer. Wheat sowing has been resumed
under favourable circumstanoes." On Wednesday the wind
was round to the S.W., and slight drizzling rain fell salmon.
During the remainder of the week the weather continue
thick, and at Crass extremely foggy, with the wied mostly
from the south, and colder than in the earlier part of the
week ; while rain appeared to threaten, but still it held op,
and closed fine for the season. The wheat brat put into the
ground hismade good progress, not having been checked by
any frost, and our advice@ from Surrey relative thereto state :
—"The mildness of the weather of late has caused the
early-sown wheat to grow fast, and high above the ground,
such as the farmers cell winter proud, and • little
check would now be better. Just in this neigh-
bourhood the cattle have been, with one or two
exceptions, free from the plague ; but at no greatexceptions,
distance it has raged very much. It is indeed a fearful
visitatioo. The corn markets all round are without change,
good wheat commands a pretty ready sale, end the millers
sat the hest of last year's crop makes good flour." There
is no occasion to depreciate this description, at any rate;
but it is better, han at oar time expected, and if the very
damp qualities, arising from the heavy runs before the
stadia were thatched, should be allowed to remain until
after next March, the usual drying winds of that month
will bring the oorn round, and it may then command roma•
aerating prices. On the whole, agricultural prospects, ss
regards grain, are not now ea bad, but those who am sips-
mincing the cattle plague are suffering the most. Yet there

NEW YORE. Duo. 13.
There are terrible times among the Fenian.. The
war that they were to inaugurate on Irish soil is
nothing to the war that now rages amongst them-
selvie. In the first place, as I informed you in my
last letter, the "Senate," consisting of ten, has
deposed John O'Mahony, the " president," and
forbidden the faithful throughout the Union to send
him any more money, and put the vies-president,
Roberta, in his place, and has published a mani-
festo bringing his crimes and usurpations to the
knowledge of an indignant world. In the first
place he refused to nominate for confirmation by
the Bennie an " agent of the Irish Republic," to
take charge of the money, but wickedly and
traitorously kept it himself, and spent it as he
pleased with his hangers-on. He hired
" a pa ace "—that is, a one house in Union-
*quer% paid 3,(001. vent in advance for it,
and about as much more in pledge to
the owner, in order to secure him whist any
damage that might be done to the premises. The
latter probably found that the various ministers of
the republic and heads of bureaux might now and
then, when maddened by thinking on Irish wrongs,
"cut up rough," and knock plaster off the walla,
and break the windows. For these gorgeous apart-
ments he purchased, according to the, Senate,
"sumptuous furniture," and even fitted up sleeping,
rooms for his "bangers-on," of whom, as you may
readily believe, there are not a few, and here he
and his henchmen are now living like fighting cocks,
with " the green flag floating o'er them " on the
roof, on a long, and certainly most expensive pole.
The O'Mahony, however, is not a man to be
squelched in that way. He refused to appear be-
fore the Senate, or acknowledge their jurisdiction,
takes no notice of the impeachment, and retains
possession of the " head-quarters "in which he is
so comfortable, and in front of which a crowd of
Irish patriots of greater or less dimensions may be
seen in fine weather, gazing curiously at the
windows as if they expected to see the work-
ings of the President's soul in his cone
flirt with the Senate. He in the meantime
gives as good as he gets. He says the
Senate are a pack of traitor% who have been cor-
sJpted by " British gold," and who are bent on the
ruin of the cause. Some of his charges against
them are curious and suggestive. He alleges that
one of them—for it will be understood they have
had a chance at the money also—has lost 47,000
dollars of it speculating in gold ; that another has I,
lent 180,000 dollars of it to a " publisher," name
not given; that the editor of the Frcemon'sJournal in
this city, whom they sent to Ireland with MI. to stir
up the Fenians there, came back, saying he had lost
the draft ; and curiously enough, about the time of
his arrival, every Fenian in Ireland whose name
appeared in the letters he bore was arrested..
John Mitchel is gone to Paris, with, it is said,
40,000 dollars, and it is to be hoped he is enjoying
himself. A Fenian who has passed four hungry
years in Richmond, writing for the press of that
capital, must find many ways of spending money
in such a place as Paris. One of the papers regrets ]
much that he is not here, in order to," pour oil (of ]
a :trini) on the troubled waters."
Mahony has, however, this capital advantage
over the Senate. Having the money, the good
house in Union-square, and the good beds, and
doubtless the good liquor, he has nearly all the
New York Fenians with him, while thelsupporters
of the Senate are in the country districts. The con-
sequence is that he is able to make rather effective
demonstrations in the way of meetings, resides.
toes, and so forth. But the flame has spread
through the whole country. The whole Fenian
" Brotherhood" are divided into two hostile camps, ]
and the air resounds with their recriminations. The
American public in the meanwhile looks on and
roars with merriment The " head-quarters," the
green flag, the "Senate," the impeachment, the de-
position, the charges and countercharges which the
patr its bandy about are convulsing the city whit
laughter, and tilling all the better class of Irish, in
whom there still lingers some sense of shame,
some sew of the ridiculous and some pity
for their unfortunate country, with pain and
dismay. The Fenian movement may be
foolish ; but this is not the worst. The
portion of the Irish population which conies to
America is generally the more energetic, ambitious,
and well-to-do portion. They mostly feel deep
hatred of England, and are animated by an intense
desire to do something to avenge Irish wrongs, and
yet, when after years of labour a movement is set
on foot for the overthrow of the British empire, the
unfortunates see nothing ridiculous in organising a
government in a private house three thousand miles
from Irish soil, or in preparing to assail and
overthrow one of the strongest powers in the world
with 280,000/. in the hands of a few hucksters and
adventurers. Nor is this the worst of it. They
have drawn up a constitution which they dis-
regard within two months of its adoption,
divide into two parties, each accusing the
other, and probably with truth, of embezzle-
ment, and, while making every day the most
shocking revelations of their own corruption and
peculation, are busy issuing " bonds" for sale, in
the midst of one of the shrewdest and most prac-
tical communities in the world, and apparently
without the slightest suspicion that there is anything (rnox • COPANSrun.......,

Why is It that qnsrantine arrangements all over
the world are so miserable 1 It may be said, per-
haps, that the sudden and simultaneous outbreak of
cholera in so many places found those in authority
unprepared for the exigency. Surely there was
time, after the appearance of the disease at Alex-
andna, for those governments who judged it neces-
sary to institute long and strict periods of venni.
tins, to arrange that there should be at least clean-
liness, decency, medical attendants, and the necessa-
ries of life, for those travellers compelled to incur the
pains and penalties, to say nothing of the expense
and inconvenience, of quarantine. It is has* for
no fault of one's own, to be treated like criminals
or lepers ; to be shrunk from with aversion ;to
be driven like a herd of infected cattle into
some dirty enclosure or barrack, compelled
to associate with people of all classes, some of them
very likely suffering from symptoms of the dreaded
malady. In such circumstances how fearful some-
times are the consequences ! Deprived of all com-
fort, of wholesome food, of needful attendance, is it
wonderful that the disease should (as at Nisida)
break out with tenfold virulence amongst the un-
fortunate, innocent prisoners, and carry off innu-
merable victims 1 It is terrible to think what people
have endured in the ports and shores of the Medi-
terranesa. In Nisida, for example, the station at
Naples, the accommodations were filthy and mise-
rable beyond belief. Imagine forty poor fellows
being stowed into a room so small as scarcely to
afford standing room, without beds or seats, and this
misery to last fourteen days ! One of the principal
physicians of Naples, on returning from San
Severn, where be had gone at the request of
the prefect to attend the cholera patients, found
he was liable to twelve days' quarantine. With
some difficulty he obtained a dirty little room,
strewn with filthy straw for balding, which, to
save them from greater sufferings, he offered to
share with two Italian officers. The only
possibility of getting anything to eat was to buy at
a high price very infenor food, which had to be
cooked as best they might at a fire of their own
making. Happily this gentleman, an old man,
and far from strong, had it in his power to remedy,
in some degree, this state of things. He sent, at
great cost, to Naples for bedding, linen, food, and
for his servant to cook it. The majority have not
the means of alleviating in any way the hardships
of quarantine. I have not time to enter into the
detail of the miseries of those who have been
forced to spend seven or fifteen days in the
wretched places on the Roman frontier, where,
careless of what becomes of their fellow-creatures,
so that they keep infection from their own borders,
the Papal government have provided no sort of
accommodation. In the Adriatic, on the shores of
Greece, I have beard of persons gladly paying a
guinea a day for leave to go on board a yacht to
escape the misery of the lazaretto.
Those who have undergone the horrors of qua-
rantine agree that in this civilised age they are a
disgrace to the government who permit them. That
the French government, so famous for excellent
organisation in many departments, should not have
made better arrangements for the well-being of
those who are compelled to perform quarantine, is
as surprising as it is discreditable. Marseilles is
an exceptional port ;,but ask those who have suf-
fered quarantine at Algiers, hear thew tell of death
caused by want of cleanliness, of decent and whole-
some accommodation ; of delicate women ex-
posed to all sorts of indignities from the riotous
conduct and horrible language of the people with
whom they were compelled to associate. Hear them
describe deprivations and inconveniences of which
it is impossible to speak more particularly, and
then say whether such astate of things ought to
exist in a Christian country.
In the event of a visitation of cholera in our own
country, I know not what arrangetaents may be
contemplated. The vexed question of contagion or
uon-contagion is still unsettled, and perhaps such
regulations may not be enforced, but if it be judged
prudent or necessary to place our fellow-creatures
in quarantine, in the name of common humanity
let us make their enforced captivity as endurable as
possible : let us avoid the frenzied panic, mis-
management, and negligence that have caused such
severe suffering, loss of health and life on the shores
of the Mediterranean, and forget not, in selfish
fears for our own safety, the duties we owe to our
a I fellow creatures.
