Cattle Disease.

(From a Supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday.)
At the Council Chamber, Whitehall, the 13th day of
September, 1865, by the Lords of her Majesty's Most
Honourable Privy Council—present, Lord President, Duke
of Somerset.—Whereas, by an Act passed in the session of
the eleventh and twelfth years of her Majesty's present
reign, intituled "An Act to prevent until the Ist day of
September, 1850, and to the end of the then next session
of Parliament, the spreading of contagious or infectious
disorders among sheep, cattle, and other animals, and
which has since been from time to time continued by divers
subsequent Acts, it is (amongst other things) enacted that
it shall be lawful for the Lords and others of her
Majesty's Privy Council, or any two or more of them, from
time to time, to make such orders and regulations as to
them may seem necessary for the purpose of prohibiting or
regulating the removal to or from such parts or places as
they may designate in such order or orders, of sheep, cattle,
horses, swine, or other animals, or of meat, skins, hides,
horns, hoofs, or other parts of any animals, and to make
any other orders or regulations for the purpose of giving
effect to the provisions of the said Act, and again to re-
voke, alter, or vary any such orders or regulations ; and
that all provisions for any of the purposes aforesaid in any
such order or orders contained shall have the like force and
effect as if the same had been inserted in the said Act ;
and that all persons offending against the said Act shall for
each and every offence forfeit and pay any sum not ex-
ceeding twenty pounds, or such smaller sum as the said
Lords or others of Her Majesty's Privy Council may in
any case by such order direct :
And whereas a contagious or infectious disorder has
lately appeared, and now prevails among cattle within that
part of the United Kingdom called Great Britain, which is
generally designated as the " cattle plague :"
And whereas it was expedient to take measures for pre-
venting such disorder from extending to that part of the
United Kingdom called Ireland ; and whereas for such
purpose, orders were duly made in pursuance of the au-
thority of the said Acts, by the Lords of her Majesty's
Most Honourable Privy Council, dated the 25th of August,
1865, and the 7th day of September, 1865 :
And whereas by the last-mentioned order the removal to
any port or place in that part of the United Kingdom
called Ireland, from any port or place in that part of the
United Kingdom called Great Britain, of any skins, hides,
horns, hoofs, or other parts of any cow, heifer, bull, bul-
lock, ox, or calf, was prohibited :
And whereas it has been represented to the Lords of her
Majesty's Privy Council, that there is annually a large
importation into Ireland of skins and hides brought from
India, South America, and Australia, which countries are
at present free from the disease designated as the " cattle
plague:"

Now, therefore, the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Coun-
cil do hereby, in exercise of the powers given by the said
recited act, and by the several acts continuing the same as
aforesaid, order as follows :
That, after the date of the publication of this order in
the London Gazette, all hides and skins brought into Great
Britain from India, South America, or Australia, and after-
wards removed from Great Britain to Ireland, are hereby
excepted from the operation of the said order of the 7th
day of September, 1865:

And the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury are to give
such directions herein as may be necessary to give due
effect to this order.

ARTIIVR HELPS.

THE HARVEST AND CROPS IN NORTHUMBERLAND.
—The continued fine weather of this week has
enabled the Northumberland farmers to about clear their
fields, and there is very little outstanding corn, except in
patches in the hill districts. According to the best autho-
rities the wheat crops of Northumberland and the adjacent
county of Durham are about an average, but not the quality
of 1863 and 1864. And from the favourable circumstances
under which it has been ingathered Northumberland wheat
is better than the south. Barley is about an average crop.
Oats, however, are below an average. Turnips have failed
very considerably in the north, and some fields are quite
bare. Peas and beans are unequal. Potatoes are good and
clear of disease, and the crops and pastures are better than
they have been observed at this season of the year.

ness and that of his royal family, and for the pros-
perity of the Italian nation.

doubt that you will be worthy of the high mission
entrusted to you by your Sovereign, the King of
Italy; and, in order that you may perfectly acquit
yourself as you wish, you may from this moment
count upon my goodwill and the loyal co-operation
of my Government."
