THE CATTLE PLAGUE IN IRELAND.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY NIGHT.

The second edition of the Northern Whig of this day
says :—" We have just received information of a reported
outbreak of the cattle plague on another farm in the neigh-
bourhood of Lisburn, but there is reason to doubt if the
disease be really the rinderpcst. One of the animals has
died. The government inspector has been telegraphed for."

ACCIDENT TO THE STEAMER DENMARIE.—We
regret to state that another of the National Steam Naviga-
tion Company's steamers has met with a mishap. A tele-
gram was yesterday posted in the Liverpool Exchange
news-room, to the effect that the Denmark, the last new
steamer belonging to the National Company's fleet, had
been sighted off Crookhaven' putting back to Queenstown,
with her propeller apparently damaged. Two powerful
steam tugs left the Mersey in the course of yesterday after-
noon for Queenstown for the purpose of towing the disabled
Denmark back to Liverpool, which port she only left on
the 9th inst., on her first outward voyage to New York.
The Denmark is over 3,000 tons burthen, and is commanded
by Captain Thompson, an experienced and skilled OM-

[Acive- rtisement.l HOLLOWAY'S PlLLS.—These
ptlls are better for strengthening a debilitated constitution than
any other medicine in the world. Persons of a nervous habit of
body, and all who are suffering from weak digestive organs, or
whose health has become deranged by bilious affections, dis-
ordered stomach or liver complaints, should tom no time in
&item these admirable pills a fair trial. Coughs, colds, asthma,
cetabortness of breath are also within the range of the sanative
powers of this remarkable medicine. The cures effected by
these pills are not superficial nor temporary, but complete and
permanent They ate as mild as they are efficacious, and may
be glvwith easlidesca to delicate females and young children.
