Lerl comeniesios. The symptoms of the disease were un-
taksable, sod the animal was buried with all dee pre.
entitioo. This is the first approach of the disease to the
valuable herds of cattle in the vale of Aylesbury. The
Issaistooos, at their meeting on Brushy, issued an order,

EDINDUROII.--Seven new cases of rinderpeat have
been reported to Professor Dick, which bre occurred in
city byres already infected, and two new eases in byres at
Roseburg. Four new cases have been reported in the same
interval from two byres in the south side of the city which
have hitherto bees exempt from dimes. Sevin cows
lave died is city bytes, and two in byres at Row
burn. Total number of new oases reported sacs
Friday, 13 ; number of deaths, 9. Since the outbreak of
the plague in the Edinburgh byres early in Augur, 390
cows have been affected. Of these, 320 have died or been
killed to prevent infection of healthy stock, 36 have reco-
vered, and 31 ere still ill. The plague has been present in
about 70 byres during these two mouths, and in some of
them has carried off the entire dairy stock. The total
Dumber of byres within the muskier' area was estimated by
Dr. Littlejohn shortly before the entre* of the plague at
171, and the number of cows 2,o6s.—Scotsount.
It is to be feared that the cattle plague has broken
oat amongst the sheep on the farm of Mr. Thomas
Grille, Broadmead Manor Farm, seer Folksier.). It will
be remembered that between the 15th and 20th of Sep-
tember Mr. Grille lost the whole of his valuable stock elf
dairy coos by the cattle plague. On Saturday night Mr.
Griffia's shepherd went has usual nand of the farm, arid

During the day the whole of the 72 sheep were Noised with
symptoms precisely similar, and the sheep got worse in-

particulars of the symptoms and lest them off to Professor
Garoges Mies him to visit the farm if any danger to his

genres. The sheep in eotion run io the same fields with
the cows which fell umnder the cattle plague, and Mr.
Griffin has little doubt that the rme dreadful cropland ,
has attacked his flock. Oa Saturday morning. two but
locks, which had hese loam-strong, were washed ashore a
little to the east of Folkestone, where they were found by
the Coastguard men. As It woe suspected that they had

- We are sorry to say the plague is still raging in
Lewes, but at present only 14 claims for compensation have
been made on the East Sussex Insurance Assoc-astir, viz.,
I from bfidd, 2 firm Bareembis, 1 from Riogmer, and 3
from Crowboroegh. We understand the disease has broken

the whole, will be lost We understand that the number
of insurers at present is 667, and that they have insured
