THE CATTLE DISEASE.

EDINBURGH.

The plague is still raging with great virulence in
the city and shire of Edinburgh. A census of the
dairy cows of the town was taken on Thursday
evening, when the number, which stood at 1,657 on
August 17, just before the outbreak of the epi-
demic, was found to be reduced to 874. The whole
decrease of 783, however, is not attributable to
the epidemic, but in great measure to the panic,
many dairy keepers have carried their stock to dis-
tant markets and run the risk of forced sales rather
than incur the danger of infection. About 200 cows
have been buried in the fosse opened to receive the
carcases of animals unfit for food, and about as many
more have been disposed of in other ways. The
sanatarium has proved an almost total failure, and
but for the opportunity given for the study of the
disease would not be worth keeping up. Among the
fat and feeding stocks the disease wherever it has
appeared has been nearly as fatal as among the
dairy cows, and some fine herds have almost totally
disappeared under its fell swoop. The cattle trade
has been utterly paralyzed by the blow, and the
spread of the disease since the Falkirk trysts of
September has given rise to an agitation to put a
stop for the time to all public markets. On Friday
the magistrates of Edinburgh received an influential
deputation calling upon them to stop the holding of
Hallow Fair this year, and the magistrates resolved
to consult counsel as to their legal power in the
matter. The approaching markets of Dalkeith,
Cupar, Haddington, and other places, have already
been advertised off. Meantime meat is rising to a
frightful price, and butter has risen about 4d. per lb.
within the last few days. At a meeting held at Lin-
lithgow on Friday, the Earl of Hopetoun presiding,
it was resolved to recommend the county to impose
a voluntary assessment on the proprietors and
tenants to compensate those who have suffered
losses by the plague.

MARK-LANE.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled firm, arid prices were rather on the advance.
Most descriptions of spring corn were in but moderate re-
quest, at late rates. _ . _

On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, and a fair busi-
ness is passing in aping corn, at full prices.
At New York the export demand for produce continuos
limited.

Limited supplies of home-grown wheat and other pro-
duce were received up to our market last week. The im-
ports from abroad amounted to 19,867 quarters of wheat :
9,164, barley ; 48,001, oats; 15, beans; 2,339, peas ; 5,148,
linseed ; 3,348, oilseeds ; 3,850, maize; 3,014, sundry seeds;
85 sacks and 4,770 barrels of flour.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were small, both from Essex and Kent, and the bulk
of the samples was received in bad condition.. For good
and fine dry samples, therefore, the trade was firm at full
prices. Damp produce was very difficult of sale, and sold
at irregular quotations. •
A fair supply of foreign wheat was on the stands. The
demand was by no means active, but the trade presented
a firm appearance, and last Monday's currency was well
supported.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, and prices
ruled firm.

Barley was in short supply. Good and fine malting
parcels were scarce and realised full prices. Inferior barley
met a dull sale at barely late rates.
Malt changed hands to a moderate extent on former
terms.

There was a good supply of oats on offer. The trade
was steady for good and fine samples, at full prices; but in-
ferior qualities were rather cheaper.
Very few beans were on offer. The trade was quiet, at
late rates.

There was a fair supply of peas on offer, the trade for
which ruled somewhat inactive, at previous quotations.
There was a moderate demand for flour. Prices were
without material change from Monday last.

SERIOUS CASE or STABBlNG.—Lauronce Fleming, a
labourer, about 50, was charged before Mr. Woolrych, this
day, with stabbing Jeremiah Ryan, also a labourer, under
the following circumstances.
The prosecutor, a delicate-looking young man, stated
that he returned home last night about nine o'clock,
and when ho came to the corner of Palmer's-rents,
Bermondsey, where ho lived, he perceived a number of
persons assembled in front of his house. Amongst these
were the prisoner, his wife, and some of his relations. The
prisoner wanted him to fight, and when he refused to do
so immediately knocked him down and pulled a quantity
of hair out of his head. He succeeded in getting up, but
the prisoner's brother then assaulted him, and when he was
on the ground jumped on him. The prisoner followed
him to his door •with a large knife, and said
Jerry, where is my hat ?" and on his reply-
ing that he did not know, the prisoner stabbed
him in the back and he became insensible. He did not re-
cover consciousness until some time after he had been con-
veyed to Guy's Hospital. The knife penetrated his clothes
and wounded him, but he believed not dangerously,
although he was stabbod twice and was suffering from the
attack which was made on him. One of the women in the
crowd endeavoured to hold him while the prisoner
attempted to stab him again, and if the persons present
phiand.sunoodt ihnitmerfinerteod
theh would have succeeded. The prisoner
house.

Mr. 0. T. Duke, house surgeon at Guy's Hospital, said
that the prosecutor was brought to the hospital last night
about 9 o'clock, and he attended him. He was suffering
from an incised wound about an inch long at the lower part
of the spine, which appeared to have been inflicted with a
sharp instrument, such as the knife which the prosecutor
described. The wound was slight, but erysipelas might
supervene, and he had known cases of a similar character
where it had taken place. Under the circumstances he
could not say that the prosecu torwas out of danger.
The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and was fully
committed for trial, Ryan being bound over to prosecute.

The Secretary (Mr. Nevin) read the report of the
directors, which stated that during the past six
months the works on the line had steadily progressed,
but not with that rapidity which could have been
wished. This had been caused by a very great diffi-
culty in obtaining labour, which it was hoped would
shortly be remalied. The directors were satisfied
that Mr. Field, the contractor, had used every exer-
tion in his power to complete the works within the
time specified, and that the delay had not been caused
by any want of energy on his part.
Mr. FIELD, the contractor, stated that if the pre-
sent rate of progress were maintained, the railway
would be opened by the Ist of March. If, however,
a sufficient number of labourers could be procured,
the line would be completed about Christmas.
The report was adopted, and a vote of thanks to the
chairman and directcrs concluded the proceedings.

The Secretary read the report, which stated that
the directors had been in communication with her
Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests for
the purchase of the land required for the railway—
amounting to 146 acres, and that a price had been
asked by the authorities which the directors deemed
much too high, taking into consideration the great
benefit which the railway must confer upon the
Crown property. The directors hoped to induce the
Commissioners to modefy their demands. Under
the arrangements made with Sir M. Peto to proceed
with the works, a commencement would soon be
made between Coleford and Monmouth. Negotia-
tions for the purchase of land at those parts were in
progress, and the directors hoped that the land-
owners would deal favourably with the company.
The CHAIRMAN having moved the adoption of the
report,

Mr. SHERRIFF, M.P., seconded the motion, and
pressed his regret that her Majesty's Commissioneis
should have thought proper to demand so high a
price for the forest land.

The report was adopted, and thanks having been
voted to the chairman, the procceedings terminated.

TENBURY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Tenbury on Saturday ; Lord Northwick in the
chair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
The Sun, was taken as read.

The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption. There was,
he said, a sum of money in hand sufficient to pay a
dividend of ss. per share, but the directors proposed
to carry that balance to next half-year's account.
When the present lease of their line expired, which
would be in 10 years, he trusted they would be en-
abled to make better terms with the Shrewsbury and
Hereford Company, who were now paying their own
shareholders 6 per cent.
The report was adopted, and the meeting sepa-
rated.
London, England, 1865-10-02

BERWICKSHIRE.

The half-yearly meeting was held at Greenlaw
on Thursday ; Sir H. H. Campbell in the chair.
The report stated that the deviation of the line at
Drygrange, as required by the House of Commons,
and the extension of the Tweed viaduct both as re-
garded height and length ; the • bridges and other
works required by the Board of Trade, as well as
increased station accommodation and other unfore-
seen contingencies, had added to the expense of the
line considerably beyond the original estimate, and
an arrangement had been made with the North
British for an additional contribution to the capital
to the extent of £30,000 if required. The remain-
ing portion of the line between Earlston and St.
Boswell's junction, near Melrose (including the
Tweed viaduct), was no Iv completed, and would
soon be opened to the public. The revenue for the
half-year was £1,053, and the 'expenditure £794.
The balance in hand at the present date was £899,
which the directors recommended should be carried
to the credit of next revenue account.

The CHAIRMAN said, in regard to the raising of
the money to complete the line, the North British,
who had increased their contribution from £50,000
to £BO,OOO, had behaved in the most handsome
manner, and had most honourably fulfilled all their
engagements with this company.
The report was unanimously approved ; and at a
special meeting the supplementary agreement with
the North British Company was approved.

The Murderer Southey.

It would appear, notwithstanding the coolness
that was exhibited by the prisoner at the time of
his conviction, that he was very much disappointed
at the result of the trial, and that he entertained a
somewhat confident notion that the defence of in-
sanity would have been successful. After the sen-
tence had been passed and he had been taken back
to his cell, he addressed one of the warders, and
said he was glad it was over, and he appeared then
to be fully convinced that he had no chance of
escape. A rather extraordinary fact has, however,
transpired in reference to the culprit, which is that
the chaplain of the gaol at aaidstone, the Rev: S.
Woolmer, entertained a strong opinion, in opposi-
tion to that given by the medical men connected with
Maidstone and Sandwich gaols, and the governors
of these establishments, that the prisoner is not' of
sound mind ; and it is said that he will feel it to. be
his duty to communicate this opinion to the Home
Secretary. Dr. Fry, a surgeon of large practice at
Maidstone, and who, it will be remembered, gave
evidence at the trial in support of the plea of in-
sanity, appears still to be of the same opinion with
regard to the condition of the prisoner's mind, and
if a formal application should be made to the Secre-
tary of State for the respite of the prisoner upon the
ground that he is insane, it is possible that some
delay might take place in carrying out the sentence.
It will be remembered that a somewhat similar pro-
ceeding took place in the case of the prisoner
Townley, a few years ago, and that after he had
been sentenced to be executed the sentence was re-
spited upon the certificate of two medical men that
he was insane, and he was removed to a lunatic
asylum. In consequence of the feeling which
was created in the public mind by the proceed-
ing, however, the prisoner was subsequently re-
moved to a convict prison to undergo a sentence
of penal servitude for life, and he destroyed him-
self while he was undergoing that sentence.
The matter was taken up by Parliament, and
the Horne Secretary has now no longer the
power at once to direct the respite of a prisoner un-
der sentence of death, upon the certificate of two
medical men that he is insane, but, if the facts
should appear to warrant it, he may direct an in-
quiry to take place as to the state of mind of the
prisoner, and he would act according to the result
of such inquiry. At present it may be stated that
nothing has been officially done in the matter, but
it may he stated that the solicitor for the prisoner,
Mr. Gold, is in communication with some of the
witnesses who were examined at the trial, and it is
not at all improbable that an application may yet
be made to the Home Secretary, upon the grounds
above alluded to, for the respite of the prisoner.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
WILSON V. JACKSON.
This was an action to recover a sum of money due upon
a promissory note, and plaintiff deposed that he saw defen-
dant sign the document.

His Honour, upon referring to the summons, found that
the plaintiff lived in Lambeth and the defendant in White-
chapel. He could not understand how it was that process
had been issued from this court.

Plaintiff said that the cause of action arose in the city.
His Honour was of opinion that plaintiff should have
sued defendant in the district wherein he resided.

Plaintiff—But the note was signed in the city.

His Honour—Where was the note signed ? Was it in a
public-house?
Plain tiff—Yes.
His Honour—That will not be sufficient to give this
court jurisdiction.

Plaintiff—l' was under the impression that if the notes
were signed in the city this court would have jurisdiction
in the case, and your honour will remember that the cause
of action really did arise here, and not in the districts in
which either I or defendant reside.

His Honour• considered that it was never intended this
court should exercise its power in such a case as the pre-
sent. He was clearly of opinion that the mere making of
a note in a public-house, when both parties resided out of
the jurisdiction of the court, was not sufficient to entitle
plaintiff to recover in the city. Plaintiff must seek his
remedy in his own district or in that in which the defen-
dant resided, and in the present proceedings must be non-
suited.
Plaintiff non-suited.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

This morning, to the surprise of the magistrate and
officials attached to this court, only one charge was en-
tered on the police-sheet, and that was a female who'had
been seeing some friend, and was " overtook" on the road
home. She was discharged, and, but for this, the proceed-
ings at the court would have been nil. The district of the
