CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND ISLE OF ELY.

At Sutton there have been 26 deaths during the
week, and there are now more cases under treat-
ment than at any previous time. But few fresh
cases are reported in the Wisbeach district, and
some of the beasts attacked at Walpole are recover-
ing. Mr. Medloe, of Toft, has had canvas bags
filled with camphor suspended from the necks of his
cattle. Although the disease has, been raging on
the next farm, none of Mr. Medloe's beasts had been
attacked Other persons in the neighbourhood
have adopted the plan, which can of course be car-
ried out at a trifling expense. At -Willingham the
total number of cattle lost since the outbreak of the
disease has now been increased to no less than 420.

ROMSEY, Saturday.
This afternoon a meeting of the Palmerston
Memofial Committee was held at the Town-hall,
under the presidency of the Mayor, Mr. Lordan•
At the request of the committee Lord Eversley
attended, and there were also present Mr. G. E.
Eyre, the Rev. E. L. Berthon (vicar of RomseY),
the Hon. R. H. Dutton,- M.P., Captain Powell, Dr.
Sainsbury, Mr. C. J. Tylee (hon. secretary), Mes°rs•
Potter, Purchase, Dyett, &c.
The Hon. SECRETARY having read the minutes of
the proceedings at the last meeting,

The CIIAIRIAN said Lord Eversley had done them
the honour of attending that day, and as his lord-
ship's time was limited their discussion must neces-
sarily be very brief. They might remember that at
the last committee meeting he (the chairman) was
deputed to acquaint Lord Eversley with the resolu-
tions arrived at on that occasion ; and from the
letter his lordship had sent him he had been induced
to call this meeting that day. The chairman that
requested Lord Eversley to give the meeting his
opinion as regarded the proposed meeting at IVin-
chester.
Lord EVERSLEY said he had had the honour of
receiving a communication from the mayor, stating
that the committee had expressed a wish that be
should preside at a public meeting to be held at
Winchester, and also that Mr. Eyre had suggested
that the meeting should take place on the Ist of
January, when the Epiphany Sessions would com-
mence in that city. Now, as the magistracy on the
first day of the New Year would assemble at Win-
chester, the day proposed would be a very conve-
nient one, but there was a good reason why be
(Lord Eversley) would not be able to preside 00
that occasion—namely, that he would be too busily
engaged in sessions business, as chairman, to per-
mit of his attending the meeting until a late hour ;
although, of course, he should be very happy to for-
ward the views of the Romsey committee in the
matter as much as possible. (Cheers.) Therefore,
it would be quite impossible for him to take the
chair on the day named. It appeared to his lord-
ship, however, that it was quite a question for the
committee to reconsider whether a meeting at Win-
chester was desirable under the circumstances.
(Hear, hear.) The noble lord understood that at
the last meeting of the committee it was decided
--first, that there should be some addition made
to the Abbey Church of Romsey, and
also that there should be a statue to the Die"
mory of the late lamented statesman. The noble
lord went on to say that he considered it desirable
to give up all thoughts of a meeting at Winchester/
and suggested that subscriptions for placing a me"
morial to the late Premier in Romsey should be
forthwith invited.

_ .
The Rev. E. L. BERTHON remarked that it Nva°
extremely gratifying to have the honour of Lord
Eversley's attendance that day, and also to bale
been favoured with his lordship's opinion respecting
the proposed county meeting. Mr. Berthon moved
a resolution to the effect that, on further considers.-
tion, the committee were of opinion that a public
meeting for receiving the report of the committee
should be held at Romsey instead of at Winchester /
that public notice be given of the intention to hold
i
the same at the Town-hall on some day to be name'
hereafter ; and that Viscount Eversley preside, If
his lordship could attend on the occasion.
Lord EVERSLEY said he should be very happy t°
attend the proposed meeting at Romsey ; but, anhe,
was engaged every day up to the end of the third
week in January, he would like to know the date on
which the meeting would be held.
Mr. BERTHON inquired if Jan. 23 would suit hie
lordship, to which Lord Eversley replied afErnin:
tively ; the resolution being seconded, it was uriel°-
mously agreed to.
Capt. POWELL agreed with Lord Eversley's re-
mark as to at once inviting support from the count
generally, and urged, as an additional argument 111
favour of this proceeding, the early meeting of Far
liament.
Lord EVERSLEY said it would be advisable not to
make the amounts in the subscription list too 14
in order to give everybody a chance of contributle.
The MAYOR said he was only expressing tel
thanks of the meeting, and of the town of Rorasezle
generally, when he thanked his lordship for
great kindness he had shown them by coming d°ll.
that day. (Cheers.) The services of his lordsll'
especially in connection with the county of kW.
were too well known to require further rnerltl(3
at his (the mayor's) hands, and he could only .4.
that they were all exceedingly grateful to the 01)
lord for attending their meeting. (Applause.) t,
Lord EVERSLEY replied briefly to the compliniell
after which, of
The Hon. R. H. DUTTON, M.P., said he w -
ee
the same opinion as Lord Eversicy with refer°

optn.s.
to the amounts of the subscription, namely, that tbes-
should not exceed £lO 10s. Concerning the qtlAe it
tion of a site for the proposed memorial,.shetil;to
take the form of a statue the hon. menlber;,,,a
afraid they would have some difficulty in fiou,iqbe
suitable place, as a proof of which he instanceddi-
late Lord Pahnerston's inability to procure Obi
jig
gible site upon which to erect even a Weig
machine. (Laughter.) da a
On the motion of Mr. G. E. EYRE, secon- e
the Hon. R. 11. DUTTON, M.P., Mr. W. A. l'°°tl3
was asked to act as treasurer to the fund. io
A conversation then ensued, which was loinof
by Mr. Dutton, Mr. Eyre, &c., at the conch's'
which a circular asking for support to the u'll'ooriai
etiag
was drawn up and approved of, and the Inc
broke up.
