THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

On Wednesday the Commissioners of Costume

bed arrived at Brown's-wharf, Blackwell, in the curse an
the morning by the steamer Yale, from Rotterdam, to be
pined uini gustanties. Time were several reports
ling the water side sad la the trade as to the nacos
which bad led to the detection of the settle ; but the
following may be taken to cosign the true version
of the facts :—"The Maas, which is almost a new
vessel, built exprenoly for the cattle trade, with all the

This sad visitation has appeared in a very serious
kris at Barbie,. Mr. W. Z. Bust, of Moven, in this
perish, commenced the bedpan of • ooerkeeper in sensed=
with his farm for shoat eight months, and bought 31
valuable cows, which Goa hint 6151. He took every pre.
caution to prevent the dimes, appearing among them by
cleaning and airing his sheds, but notwithetandleg this
on Wednesday week they were taken with the disease,
and by the following Sunday 30 of them bad died ; the
other has ages deo fallen a victim to the malady. Mr.
Hunt had set porchaead any fresh rattle for six weeks
prier to the disease appearing. sad these be thin bought
came from the immediate neighbourhood. We have sot
beard of any other as in the same parish. Mr. Haat
was attending a meeting on the subject of the plague whips
he was requested to rams home, and them found the dia-
rist had appeared, although when he left in the morning
seitlser he nor his men observed anything sensual. At
West Ham since the previous report three or four more
gems of the cattle plague have bona brought under oar
notice ; one persou has lost 12, another 8, and another 6
sows, and it is also reported that there are other sheds in
which the malady hes made its •ppeansa. We hear in
three or four 'arteries' the log has bens so great that the
sufferers will have beep reduced from comparative easy
drenaletasess to almost absolute want, mikes the leas
from some wares or other is wholly or partially made up.

At the meeting of the Liverpool health ooni-

retaining 873 cows. were well ventilated ; 223, .retaining

of the sudden development of the plague, he stated that cc

from Dublin, which port they left on the day previous.
Some of them were taken out to Aileron Hall for pas•

ItAITLIIIO3IX.

At s meeting of the vestryir of Ht. George's,
Henoverequan, held yesterday, •H. 0- SzrMoua,
churchwarden, in the chair, the tansies report was read
from the medical allows of health for the parish :—ln cool-
Oases with the remolutioe paired at the last meeting of
the Testy, we visited every °mad In the parish, on the
9th August. We may observe that the number of dia-
cad' premises in which cows are kept is 12, and that
the number of person, who have licenses is 15. One of
these persons holds two liasmes—namely, Mr. Charles
Hatt, for a cowyard in Brewerstrest, sad soother in
Ebtory-street. Is other cusses two persons hold
distiset licenses for contagious partials of the setae yard.
At the date of oar visit we nos es& 395 cows, all of which
impaired in good health. The yards and sheds were, with
few exoeptious, clean and in good order. and we neither saw
any evidence of plague nor could we gather soy information
of its existence. On the evening of the 30th August, how-
ever, Mr. Groot, the inspector of orreauces, who omencely
visits all the yards arise or thrice s week, missed
'semi cows from the sheds of Mr. Charles Han,
in Eburystreet. This led to an money, from
which it was ascertained that the disease
had appeared not rely at Mr. Hates bat likewise oe the
Clof Mr. Dexter, in Hinoortoontnet. On the follow-
7we visited Mr. Dexter's geed in ouropsay with Mr.
Gnat, and observed in one of his abide two cows seriously
at. We were then told that me cow had brim noticed to
be unwell on the 21st August, but as the symptoms were
not decided she was seat away end killed that
'same bight.. On Thursday, the'24th. we were told
me other cow sickened with decided symptoms, sod
on Friday, the 25th two others; which three but mem
timed soon died is the abed. The two which we saw
ill were seat sway noder the direction of the government in-
spectors that same night, Sines that time up to Sept. 5 six
others have sickened, of which four lame been destroyed
and two recovered. It thus appease that Mr. Dexter 'bee
lost 10 out et the 32 eows which we saw healthy on the 9th
August. We may observe that Mr. Dexter's premises are
scrupolotely clean, airy, and well-managed, sod that from
the first appearance of disease greet pains were taken to
disinfect the premises and the dung before it was removed.
The cowyard of Mr. Hatt, in Ebury-street, is certainly
not s model, tied leaves something to be desired as regards
saelemes. Sell there ham bees nothing which could accent
for the terrible visitation which has takes place. On Satur-
day, 26th August, he bad 103 cows in this place. According
to the best information we cola get, 30 of them were sent
away during Mooday, Tuesday and WedneMay, the 2SIS,
29th and 30th of August—seine to market and some to
slaughterers. Early on the nsornieg of the 31st, the day of our
visit 40 were mot to the Islington Cettleumarket, in addition
to one from Mr. Hatt's cowyard in Browerstreet, where be
keep 33. The whole 41 were seised at Islington by the
' hispeater. On the 3ist, the day of our visit, 33 cows were
left, but this day (6th September) the number is reduced to
12, every one of which is ill and condemned by the gems-
moot inspector ; so that this cowysrd is virteally emptied
of 103 cows in lass then a week. On this 6th identresher we
also learn that Mr. Gilbert, who had nine cows Ins shod es
the premises of Mr. Dexter on the 9th of August last, hes
sent away seem, aid that the remaining two are ill, notice
of which has been sent to the government inspector. With
regerJ to the other ten yards, we believe that they continue
perfectly healthy.
