curtail its progress.
An order in Council was issued on the twenty-
second instant, which is more comprehensive than
any of the preceding ones, and will doubtless do
much to counteract the evils now abounding in the
practice of those engaged in the management of
cattle. In order to consolidate and amend " pre-
vious orders," it is now decreed this " order" shall
extend to all parts of Great Britain, and the word
" animal" is intended to mean any cow, heifer,
bull, bullock, or calf, sheep, lamb, goat, or swine.
This is a very wise determination, and
it is evident, from the letter of Pro-
fessor SntoNDs that no time must be lost
in stemming the tide of this disaster if we would at
all arrest its progress. The most stringent regula-
tions are made in the course of the terms of the
said order, and if these are implicitly acted upon,
without doubt much may be done to check the
spread of the evil ; but still it must be borne in
mind that the chief part of the work will fall upon
private hands. No authorities can prevent danger
or disaster unless their orders are met with willing-
ness and alacrity, and therefore it is earnestly to be
trusted that all will sink prejudices, and follow the
counsel given by the learned and experienced in
such matters. The only way to meet this exigency
will be to show courage and to exercise patience,
and, as Mr. DISRAELI truly said the other day, it
must be regarded as a " national and not a local
visitation."

The charge against Dr. May, who was arrested
by the Prussian authorities at Altona, is now defini-
tively stated. He is accused of having published
an article insulting to the King of Prussia. The
trial is appointed to take place on the 6th of
October next.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, SEPT. 26.

It is semi-officially stated that the assertion of
some German papers to the effect that Austria had
invited Prussia to reply collectively to the Circulars
of the Western Powers in reference to the Gastein
Convention is without any foundation.

It is also announced in official quarters that
neither France nor England have sent any direct
communication to the Vienna Cabinet in reference
to the above Circulars.

MADRID, SEPT. 25, Evening.

The cholera has disappeared from Valencia.

At Barcelona yesterday there were only 14 cases.
The epidemic is also decreasing in the neighbour-
hood of Seville and at Carthagena.

Roman municipality. Similar services are to be
performed whenever the Pontifical troops hold gar-
rison.

Letters from Biarritz mention that the Emperor
reviewed two days back the detachment of Grena-
diers of the Imperial Guard which has been doing
duty at the Imperial residence, previous to its leav-
ing for Paris. This does not imply the return of
the Court, as the troops had been summoned to
Biarritz for the reception of Queen Isabella. Their
departure, however, proves that the King and Queen
of Portugal will not visit the Emperor and Empress
before their Majesties go to Compiegne.
The Countess de Montijo has been spending a
week at the estate of M. Ferdinand de Lesseps, in
the province of Berry. Some large shooting par-
ties took place on this occasion.
A report is current that M. Drouyn de Lhuys has
written a second circular on the question of the
Duchies, with the object of attenuating the effect of
the first, by showing the provisional character of the
Convention of Gastein. The necessity for this note
arose out of recent communications between,Berlin
and Biarritz, where the Prussian Ambassador, Count
de Goltz, is now staying.
A desperate fight occurred two days back at
Cherbourg between some American sailors and a
number of the inhabitants. The seamen had been
first quarreling among themselves in the street and
then proceeded to enter a café on the Place du
Chateau. The landlord, not wishing to have a
disturbance in his establishment, refused them ad-
mittance, whereupon the sailors set upon him.
Some civilians and French seamen came up to the
rescue, and a general fight ensued, in which the
Americans attempted to use their knives. Finally,
the original authors of the riot were secured, and
next morning taken on board their ship to be
punished according to the discipline of the United
States' service. Fortunately no one was seriously
hurt in the conflict.

The Swedish corvette Oradd, 10 guns, has just
arrived at llavre to take on board some paintings,
statues, and other works of art, for the Museum of
Stockholm.

" It is announced, says the Nouvellis'e of Rouen,
" that the Count de Chambord has written a letter
of condolence to Madame de Lamoriciere on the
occasion of the death of her husband. Madame
de Lamoriciere and her children have just passed
through Paris on their way to their property in
Anjou."

Advices from Havre and Dieppe describe the heat
that has prevailed there during the greater part of i
the present month as excessive. Agriculture had to
be suspended on account of the drought ; the supply
of water being very deficient. On Thursday last,
however, rain fell in torrents, and towards three in
the afternoon a waterspout broke over the neigh-
bourhood of Yport, transforming the roads and
streets of the town into real torrents, and inundat-
ing all the lower storeys. At Vaucotte, a little
village near Etretat, several carts with their draft-
horses were swept into the sea. All communication
was impossible during four hours ; when at length
the rain ceased, and the waters began to abate.
Considerable damage has been done to the standing
crops, and even to many of those already gathered
into the barns. At Etretat, Les Loges, and other
villages on the coast, several houses were flooded,
and much damage inflicted.
The fishing smack Etre-Supreme, of Trouville,
was capsized at about six miles off Dives three days
back, and filling went down immediately. One man
and a boy were drowned, but the master and another
man maintained themselves on the surface of the
water by swimming, each with the aid of an oar,
until the smack St. Pierre, which had witnessed the
disaster a mile off, bore down and rescued them.
A large carpenter's yard and workshops at Cha-
prais, near Besancon (Doubs), belonging to MM.
Blondeau, freres, were destroyed by fire the night
before last. Two horses, a cow, and a sheep were
burnt, and 150 men are thrown out of work by the
disaster. Neither the origin of the fire nor the
amount of the loss are yet ascertained. The owners
are taking steps to provide their hands with work.
A tragedy was enacted in the night of the 10th
ult. in a cottage situated in a small hamlet of the
commune of Monieux (Vaucluse). A violent dispute
having arisen out of a feeling of jealousy between
a husbandman and his wife, the former ended it
by firing a gun point-blank into the mouth of the
.voman, wounding at the same time his little
daughter, aged three years, who was in her arms at
the moment. The assassin immediately afterwards
blew out his own brains with the same weapon.
The following order of the day was put forth by
Monsignore de Merode on the 16th, to the army of
his Holiness :

"General Christopher Louis Leo Juchault de Lamori-
ciere, a captain illustrious among the captains of his
age by his valour, virtue, and unstained reputation, was
at your head. More anxious to respond to the noble im-
pulse of his magnanimous heart than to be able to say with
Epaminondas I die unconquered,' he hastened at the sum-
mons of the great voice, which from the Vatican called
him to the defence of the rights of the common father of
the faithful, the supreme guardian of the liberty and dig-
nity of the redeemed human race. Being a most tender
son of the nation, which glories in being called the eldest
daughter of the Church, the very love of his country in-
flamed him with the desire of defending his mother with-
out fearing the enemy's number of arts. You know how
he was conquered ! Ile was now only waiting for a pro-
pitious opportunity of again offering and even sacrificing
his life. It pleased God to call him to himself in the night
of the 10th to the 11th September. Struck, but not sur-
prised by death, Christopher Lamoriciere was found
expiring on his knees with the crucifix in his hands. In
so deplorable a loss of him who had lived for honour and
duty there remain his example and his memory—let there
remain in the heart of every one the ambition of being
worthy of such a chief. Solemn obsequies will be cele-
brated on Friday, 22d cureistt, at 10 a.m., in the church of
the Aracceli.

How THE MAORIES WERE SUPPLIED WITH Ammu-
NITION.—Wo take the following curious story of smug-
gling war materials to the Maories from the Hawkes Bay
7 imes :—" The writer of this was in the employ of a noted
trading firm engaged in the native trade, owning a small
schooner running from Auckland to the Bay of Plenty,
trading with the natives with gunpowder, lead, and rum,
arms of all sorts, from a George IL musket to a. minie rifle,
tomahawks, and cartouch boxes ; in fact all the imple-
ments of war coveted by their dusky customers. One of
their common tricks to cheat the Customs was to enter tho
vessel with pork in casks, and to clear out with empty
casks and salt, the said casks containing six or ten kegs
of sporting powder and bags of salt, containing each about
100Ibs. of old lead, boxes of caps, &c., all these shipped in
the open day, rolled through Auckland streets, left stand-
ing on the wharf, and sold in the Bay of Plenty. The old
files of Auckland papers need only to be consulted to tell
tales of cargoes of empty casks and tons of sash weights
(lead, of course) for building purposes, in places where the
only buildings going up were raupo whores. The writer
of this knew of one whore containing at one time 72 kegs
of powder headed up in the way mentioned, and close
alongside an old potato hole with about a ton of leaden
sash weights in it. And all this carried on by a firm whose
principal held office next to the Superintendent, and he
went home and with other Auckland merchants who had
made their pile by Tower muskets and other honest mer-
chandise, went in deputation to the Secretary of State for
the Colonies and hoped that the war would be carried on
with vigour, and cruisers stationed to prevent the exten-
Sin smuggling by the Yankees,"
