GATTLE DISKABES BILL.
, This bilL ea emenisd, wee eonaidered.
"1"111r J. PERM:MON moved, after clans 6r to lamer/ the
following clams :—" (Extent of powers of Oates Beard.)
The powers of each cattle triages baud sisal extend over
the whole of the county for which it is appointed. tad
over all burghs situated thereto, exceptieg cities and burghs
which have the tight to elect members to parliament, and
whereof the population within the parliamentary bounda-
ries of say Noah burgkareeeds tea thoormad."
After come discussion,
air G. GREY believed that this 'objectival; fully debated
loot aight, sad that the Scotch members were almost
unanimous against the proposition.
Mr. STIRLING supported the amendment.
The LORD ADVOCATE said the committee disused
this question and divided upon it last night, and be thought
it was not desirable they should again dimes it.
The house then divided

Mr. BULLER held that they ought not to abandon all
hops of diatovering setae remedy for this diem's, and there.
fore be begged to praposs. as a proviso, at the end of clause
16, that iostead o invariably slaugl-terieg diseased cattle,
there should be lodged in the hands of some authority the
power of reserving cattle for the purpose of subjecting
them to medical treatment.
The amendment was understood to be agreed to.

nothing in the clause !honk' interfere with the removal of
cattle tram owe pert of Argyßahia, to soother under the
order of the local authorities ; but, at the anggestion of Mr.
T. G. BARIIIO, the hon. gentleman withdrew it.
On the motion of Mr. T. G. BARING, words were added
to the clause having reference to the slaughter of cattle is

TEE LINCOLN SPRING (3) /IX/STING.
TO THU =Ma OP PHI =PRIM

Blit,—Have we got it at last t and after having
bee. so kind to real winter sports by keeping out of the
way, is Mr. Frost going to be unity with the turf, aid spoil
whet promised to be a brilliant opening of the racing sea-
son? He only frightened them at Birmingham and Water-
loo last week, where the steeple chasing and coursing were
got through satisfactorily, except that both the principal
'events went to " outsiders," to the delight only of a select
'few ; but should he continue to reign is sunset this week,
It will go had with the Lineole meeting, which has sof-
fored more than ones from his interference, and would mom
to sad grief if driven over Sudsy next. However, let us
hope for the best, and that the last change in the elements
will benefit the gathering, as it certainly must do if
the ground does not become so hard as to ren-
der geeing, bsprectiosble. Under present amigo-
aunts, there is a larger number of horses than usual
under orders to participate is the eight " fiat " races
proposed, of which four are completed, all having large
entries except the Trial Sakes, to which there are but
fourteen subscribers. This is a mile weight-for-age race
with severe penalties sad indulgent allowances, the extra
lOibs incurred by Seacharometer and Donnybrook being
enough to drive them to the handicap ; although Saladui,
quite as heavily penalised, may not be stalled off, seeing
that to be worth backlog for the Chester Oup (which I do
not believe however) he should give the 1711 s required to
the maiden four year olds, Scarborough, Wild I3oy, Rut-
ford, and Old Warders, of which lot the latter has et
to make his bow in public. Alberta, who was so busy last
autumn, is =penalised, sad the " dark "John of the Isles,
Wiseman, and Creasman must possess some form to beat
her, which neither Opposition nor Killarney have shown
any pretensions to do, whilst it has yet to be shown that
&ladle can give her 341 b fa the year. The Lisonherbire
Handicap, on the mile course, is amore important eveattba•
ever, being under such auditions as PM reader it a for-
midable rival to the (by sad Suburban at &mom.
With the sanneuurober of starters as last year. (two doses)
which the knowing ones anticipate, the stakes will be
worth 8551., and nos a few have been backed to arry them
off, albeit some parties seem to think it ia not early good
enough to try for. The friends of Mephistopheles, for in-
stenos, soon made op up their minds not to " play" when
they found the public had made him a favourite, and it is
now questionable whether H. bluster's stable will be repre-
sented at all, after accepting with the old gentlemee, Fil-
bert, and Junius—the latter five-year old, by the Great
Unknown, that is still dark, sad consequently most appro-
priately named. There can be no doubt that wavy stables
are rowing in with John Day's, owing to Copenhagen having
been tried, on dig, one of those "good thieve that
must cams off ; and the lest move concerning Mambo,
who looked like carrying the money bags of W. Day's
division, end just about winning is very ominous, espe-
cially as it was not accompanied by any ages
favourable to Perfumer, soother likely-look:2g candidate
in the same " felopsnbsgeo, nevertheless, is not to
have it all his own way, sad the patinae of Valiant and
()althea@ look forward with some degree of confidence to
bowling him over. Secebarcouter, Gemtes, Twilight, Pro-
Visor, lea
`Lynn, and Treasure Trove appear also to be
carrying " oad money ;" and there has been some talk,
too, of Lucky Star, Mionette, and Miss Williams "com-
ing" before the flag falls. &nos his stable-companion
settled down so warm, Pantaloon has joined Knight of
Snowdon on the retired list; bat then is plenty of materiel
for a field of more than twenty, and the rue is sot bound
to be a hollow affair just because they take 3 to 1 about one
of the candidates. Copenhagen has to give away 121 b to
Valiant, and in meeting Caithness at stagily the Trial
weights homey find himself sorely premed to beat even the
young St. Albans, despised as the three-year-aids are by
the talent on this occasion. The outsiders, again,
will have good battle done for them by Twilight
or Lasky Star, who have often given a proof of
their sterling merit, which all the three favourites
have yet to do, it must be nedlected, not one of them
having shows even moderato form in public. But it is ra-
ther improbable that, with Mester Richard to give an idea
what Copenhagen is capable of, and Regalia to mama
Caithness with, their trainers can have made a mistake as
to their capabilities ; and it is, in my opinion, little more
then a question which is the beet of the trio. My idea
incline towards Valiant, whose 121 b advealege is the
weights undoubtedly entitled him to the preference, not-
withstanding the pima impression that speed is not
exactly his forte; and so many have won at Tin, or them
shouts, that his party must be written very unlucky indeed
should he fail. There will be a great amicable for the
Brooklesby (two-year-old) Stakes, half a mall, worth about
SOX ; and some rare flyers will usuredly be in the run
The 51 entries include many of the high-priced ones at the
yearling sales of 1865 and some that were heavilyenpged at
the commencement of last month, inclusive of a Manyss oat,
called Satyr, and Problem by Newminster. These oat Mr.
Chaplin a Ma little sum together ; and as the plucky hero
of the Itreadalbase sad Bromnielaw sale is oe his own grimed
at Liosoln, we should doubtless see his rose jacket carried
by the beet be on send to the post. The jumping events
I am not ambitious to touch upoe, tempting as the Hornet
looks in the Hurdle Rao', where he has • storm lees to carry
than for the Liverpool Steeplechase, so that his admirers
have only to,' discover whether he will be "reeved" or
not. The principal steeplechase has not many Grand Na-
tional candidates engaged fn it, sad may not attract more
than West Rod, who will find it difficult to bat the Beau;
and perhaps last year's winner, Bridegroom, can give the
weight required to either of them.
Steepleobasiog is the order of the day at both the these
meetings of the week, Hendon and the Windsor Greed
Military ; and all lean say of them is that, with the
elements propitious, they will afford the " roughs" and the
"swells" a good t at.—l am, fic. METEOR.
