LA TEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF BOSTON.
(Via Roche's Point.)

The Inman steamer City of Boston, from New
York, on the 11th inst., arrived at Queenstown at
8.15 a.m. to-day (Tuesday), with the mails,
$130,000 in specie, and 189 passengers. She landed
42 passengers and proceeded at 8.30 a.m. for Liver-
pool.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11 (Morning).

President Johnson has announced that the pas-
sage of the constitutional amendment is necessary
for the full restoration of the Southern States to the
Union.
Captain Wirz has been hanged.

The New York Times says that Mr. Seward re-
plied to Earl Russell's last despatch six weeks ago,
informing the latter that he could not press the
suggestion for arbitration nor consent to submit
any question to the decision of a commission unless
all claims at issue between the two Governments
were also submitted. Mr. Seward's despatch is
supposed to be mainly to ascertain what topics Earl
Russell proposed to submit to a Commission.

Curability of the Cattle Disease

While the Royal Commission appointed by the
Crown to inquire into the origin and progress of the
Great National Calamity of the Rinderpest or
Cattle Disease is yet meditating its Report, and
while the date of the meeting of the New Parlia-
ment (among the earliest labours of which will be
the taking of that same Report into most serious
consideration) yet remains to be decided upon by
the will of the Sovereign, under the loyal and
conscientious advice of her Majesty's Government
—it so happens most opportunely that the country,
the Government, the Royal Commissioners them-
selves, are enabled to recognise, what we for our own
part do most firmly believe to be the thrice welcome
truth; that the Cattle Disease is cheaply, readily, and
perfectly curable ! This may appear a bold asser-
tion to make, but of its immediate and absolute
justification we are thoroughly well satisfied. And
because of this we would here thus explicitly direct
attention to the matter most unhesitatingly. Satisfied
in our own mind that the Cattle Disease is curable
—and curable, moreover, as we have said, cheaply,
readily, and thoroughly—we would now hasten to
set forth here at once as distinctly as possible the
nature of the remedy, the cost of its application,
and the name of the principal person by whom this
reliable remedy is advocated, or, as we may even
say, introduced into this country. And first of all,
let us mention forthwith—to the end we have
just stated—that the arch-champion of the new
remedy for the cattle disease—for many years a
member, and no obscure member either, of the
House of Commons—although no longer, much to
our regret under the circumstances, a member of
that House—has himself hastened over at this time
into England from his place of residence in Switzer-
land, for the express purpose of bringing
his views upon the vitally important mat-
ter here referred to personally and as strenu-
ously possible under the consideration of the pro-
per authorities. Mr. Urquhart, formerly M.P.
for Stafford, has not only just now arrived in Lon-
don for the purpose of advocating the employment
of the great remedy of Radiating Heat for the cure
of the terrible murrain of the Rinderpest, but he
has already, we understand, made an offer to the
Commission to have erected—at his own expense--in
the worst, that is to say, in the most malignantly
infected locality that can be anywhere selected,
a Turkish Bath for diseased cattle—so that he may
there and then demonstrate, under the scrutiny of
inspectors appointed by the Royal Commissioners
themselves, the perfect accuracy of his statements
in regard to the complete curability of the Cattle
Disease or Rinderpest. Having said thus much
ourselves, we would here extract from a recent
number of our Swiss contemporary, Le Mont Blanc,
the following excellent remarks, having reference to
the important subject under discussion :

TREATMENT OF CATTLE DISEASE BY HEAT.

Two terrible scourges hava afflicted Europe this year—
the cholera, which after having desolated the south of
France and Italy, is now finding numerous victims in
Paris ; and the typhus bovilis, which is decimating tho
cattle in Belgium, Holland, and, in particular, England.
Tho ravages of the first are decreasing, but nothing seems
to be able to stop the violence of the other As for Eng-
land, where so much capital is invested in the rearing of
cattle, the epidemic there has assumed the proportions of a
public disaster ; meat, milk, and butter, those great neces-
saries, have become excessively scarce—indeed, there is
quite a famine.

A commission has been appointed to investigate the
causes and progress of the epidemic, and to consider the
best remedy. According to the Spectator this commission
is about to publish its report; but the state of things is
depicted in this in such dismal colours that tho only thing
the commission can do is to demand the convocation of
Parliament, in December instead of February to discuss
the question which alone occupies public attention.
We can tell the British Parliament, and before that
assembles, tell England and all the countries which the
scourge has not yet visited that there is an infallible re-
medy which ought to have been generally applied in Eng-
land, seeing the numerous experiments which have been
made and the remarkable results obtained.
