THE YLTROPOLITAN FOETEON CATTLE 'Lime? DELL.

The Post denies that this bill will effect the object for
which it is professedly designed. flo far from being cal-
culated to prevent the spread of the cattle plague, it is
calculated to Increase it beyond anything hitherto
known. Thir veterinary authoritiei are all, without
exception, agreed upon this point. It has been
rhown also that such a step, even if it were
likely to be effective; is not necessary ; for the action of
the Privy Council, which is founded upon a totally dif-
ferent and opposite principle, his been so successful that
it has rooted the cattle plague out of the country entirely;
and it is too absurd that when we have, in the moment of
extremity, already tried a plan and found it to answer, we
i.hould now, when the extremity is past, be asked to adopt
another plan which is by all testimony shown to be utterly
unreliable.
