THE CATTLE PrAonz.—An analysis of the
weekly cattle plague returns issued by the Board of Trade
shows that of the counties of Eoglaud, exclusive of the
metropolitan police district, 2 remain free from the dis-
ease, in 7 no cases have been reported as occurring during
the week, 15 show an increase of 747 eases during the week,
and 10 show a decrease of 2,811, showing a total decrease
during the week in the counties of England of 2,064 cases.
The metropolitan police district shows an iocresse during
the week of 10 cases. Of the counties in Wales, 10 remain
free from the disease, is 10 no rest s have been reported as
occurring daring the week, and 2 show a decrease of 257,
showing a total decrease during the week in the counties
of Wales of 257 cases. Of the counties in Scotland, 11
remain free from the disease, in 14 no cases have been
reported as occurring during the week, 7 show an increase
of 235 cases, and 12 show a decrease of 518, showing a
total decrease during the week in the counties of Scotland
of 281 cases. Of the counties in England, Wales, and
ad Sootlaod, 23 counties remain free from the disease ; in 31
counties no eases have been reported as occurring daring
xd the week ;22 counties and the mstropslitas police district
show as increase of 992 cases ; 33 counties show a decrease
ad of 3,584 asses ; showing a total decrease during the week
ending Feb. 3, 1868, in England, Water, sad Scotland, of
2,592 oases, as compared with the week ending Jan. 27,
ad 1866. As stated yesterday. 209 inspectors have not re.
ported this week in time for this return. Among them
and belonging to the county of York, are Mews. Hoskin-
son, Stone, Harrison, Penneck, and Holt ; to Shropshire,
ad Mr. Bery Duff ; to Staffordshire, Messrs. B. Duff and
Llswellia ; to Cheshire, Messrs. Stoner and Lewis, the
latter of whom has, however, forwarded a partial report.
These inspectors returned 2,304 eases last week, and the
apparent decrease of the disease is probably more due to
their neglect than to any real diminution of attacks.

very, respectfully to represent to your lordship that
we look forward to taking holy orders in the church of Eng-
