The Cattle Disease.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1865.

DISSOLUTION OF THE MANSION-HOUSE
COMMITTEE.

A meeting of the sub-committee of the Sanatorium Com-
mittee of the Corporation of London was held. yesterday
afternoon, at 3 o'clock, at the Mansion-house, for the pur-
pose of considering what steps should be taken in reference
to the subject for which the committee had been appointed.
Among those present were—Mr. Gibbins (chairman), Dr.
Sarvis, Dr. Vinen, Mr. Burge, M.D., Mr. Brewster, Mr.
Maynard, Mr. Guerrier, Mr. Game, &c.
Mr. GIBBS, the secretary, read a list of subscriptions, in
which it appeared that only a very small sum had been
subscribed since the last meeting. The total amount sub
scribed was about £1,500:

Mr. GIBBINS, the chairman, briefly called the attention
of the committee to the present position of affairs. They
had the permission of the Government for the establishment
of one sanatorium, and a sub-committee had been appointed
to visit two sites that had been offered for that purpose.
That sub-committee consisted of himself, Dr. Vinen, and
Dr. Sarvis, and they were unanimously of opinion that both
sites were utterly unfit for the intended purpose. They had
advertised for sites or buildings to be used as a sanatorium,
but no answers had been received, and, as they had heard,
the public did not appear at all to respond to their call for
subscriptions. Under these circumstances, it was for the
committee to consider what course should now be adopted.
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. BREWSTER said it appeared to him that although
they had no v been meeting for a considerable time they
were not a bit farther advanced towards the object they
had in view than they were at first, and that they had been
completely baffled by the Government, or those who pro-
fessionally advised it in reference to this subject. (Hear,
hear.) Besides that they had not obtained any assistance
from the public or the trades that were interested in the
question. Tho brewers, who received such large sums for
their grains, had not subscribed a farthing, and the results
they appeared to have arrived at were, that instead of hav-
ing as they;proposed several large sanatoriums with proper
conveniences and accommodation for the treatment of the
diseased cattle, they were only to be permitted to have one
small sanatorium that would accommodate 10 or 12 cattle,
which would be quite inadequate for the intended object.
In fact, they were merely to carry out the ideas of other
people, instead of their own—(hear, hear)—and it appeared
to him that they would not be acting fairly or justly to the
Corporation, or to the citizens of London, if they continued
to go on any longer under these circumstances. (Hear.)
The Corporation had at once consented to give a noble sum
in aid of the important public object that was sought to be
attained, in the expectation, no doubt, that their example
would be followed not only by those trades that were spe-
cially interested, but also by the public at large, but in this
expectation they had been entirely disappointed. He still
entertained the opinion that the cattle plague was curable,
and that very important results would have followed if the
principle of having sanatoriums had been fairly carried
out ; but it was ridiculous to suppose that any good result
could have been obtained by only having space for the
treatment of a small number—like 10 or 12 cattle—and the
experiment would not have had anything like a fair chance
of success. Every attempt had been made to baffle the com-
mittee in their proceedings, and he could not refrain from
expressing his opinion that Professor Simonds had done
a great deal of mischief by having the ear of the Govern-
ment. (Hear, hear.) In the first instance he had de-
clared that the disease was not the rinderpest when it first
made its appearance, and had allowed diseased cattle to be
sent to market, and had thus been the means of spreading
the plague in all directions. He now also said that the same
malady had attacked the sheep, although almost every me-
dical man and every veterinary surgeon declared that they
did not believe this to be possible. (Hear, hear.) This being
the present state of things, it appeared to him that it would
be useless to proceed any farther, and that the best course
would be to return the money that had been subscribed,
and leave the responsibility upon the Government, who had
so pertinaciucsly opposed their proceedings. (Hear, hear.)
He proposed a resolution to that effect.

Dr. SARVIS seconded the resolution, and in doing so ho
said that the committee had worked hard, and had done all
they could to carry out the object for which they were ap-
pointed, and it was not from want of will that they had not
succeeded, but from the obstacles that were thrown in their
way in higher quarters. (Hear.) He agreed with Mr.
Brewster that the establishment of a small sanatorium such
as the one suggested by the Government, and to which alone
it would give its sanction, was not likely to be attended
with any good effect. He believed if their original plan had
been carried out it would have been successful. At present
he looked with some alarm at the probable consequences of
the present state of things, as he believed that before long
meat would be at a famine price, and ho need hardly add
that the labouring poor would necessarily be terrible suf-
ferers. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. GIBBONS, the chairman, said ho quite concurred in
the observations that had been made by the previous
speakers with regard to the position of the committee, and
although he deeply regretted it he had almost thought of
proposing a resolution of the same character as that which
had been proposed by Mr. Brewster, (Hear, hear.) Ho
did not see why the committee should waste their time in
carrying out what they believed would be for the benefit of
the public, when the Government opposed them at every
step, and the public did not seem to take any interest in the
matter. (Hear.) As an instance of the difficulties they had
to contend with he would inform them that only on the
previous day five diseased cows, the property of Lord Gran-
ville, the President of the Council, were;sent from his sheds
to the cattle-market to be slaughtered.
Mr. BREWSTER interposed— And without any certificate.
Mr. GIBBINS said he was informed that a certificate had
been sent with them, but this turned out not to bo the case.
What he wished to call the attention of the committee to,
however, was the fact that these diseased cattle were driven
through the public streets to the market, when the Lords of
the Privy Council would not permit them to have the privi-
lege of removing diseased cattle to a sanatorium for the pur-
pose of an attempt being made to cure them. (Hear.) Ho
did not suppose for a moment that Lord Granville was
aware of what had been done, but ho thought it his duty to
mention the fact publicly. (Hear.)
Mr. GAME said he should cordially support the motion.
It appeared to him that the Corporation of London had met
this calamity as they did every public calamity, in a noble
manner, but all their endeavours had been thwarted. He
thought the time had arrived when they ought to stop, and
throw the responsibility on the Government, and it appeared
to him that if they proceeded any further under existing
circumstances, they would only bring ridicule and odium
upon themselves. (Hear.)
Mr. GIBBINS said he thought it right to explain that when
they referred to the Government, the observation rather
applied to those who advised it in this matter than to the
Government itself. He felt bound to say that in all the in-
terviews he and the committee had had with the Lords of
the:Privy Council they had been listened to with the utmost
attention and courtesy, and upon one occasion Lord Granville
had acceded to a suggestion of the committee in opposition
to the advice of Professor Simonds.

Some discussion then ensued as to the terms of the pro-
posed resolution, and eventually it was opposed in the fol-
lowing form :

" That the sub-committee do report to the general com-
mittee that in consequence of unexpected and insuperable
difficulties that have been thrown in the way of their car-
rying out the purpose for which they were appointed, they
recommend that the money that has been received be re-
turned to the subscribers, after deducting pro rata the
amount paid for necessary expenses."
This resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. BURGE then proposed, and Dr. SARVIS seconded, a
cordial resolution of thanks to Mr. Gibbins for his zealous
services as chairman of the committee, which was carried
unanimously, and the committee adjourned.

The following districts were represented at the meet-
ing :—Hackney, South Hackney, West Hackney, South
Hornsey, Dalston, Highbury, Islington, Heaton, Balls
Pond, Stoke Newington, and Kingsland.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the pro-
ceedings.

others could be, distributed through the medium of those
who attended the present meeting. Several of the lists
which had been sent out had been placed in publichouses,
and he had himself that morning seen the landlord of one
of the houses in which a list was placed, subscribe a gui-
nea to it, and a gentleman who happened to be in the house
at the time did the same. He had no doubt that if
proper exertions were used to obtain subscriptions, that
they would be 'forthcoming.
Subscription lists were accordingly distributed among
those present, to be distributed by them and placed in pub-
lic-houses and other places where subscriptions could be
obtained.

INDIA.

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re-
ceived files of papers from Bombay to the 23d of
August, and from Calcutta to the 16th of August.
We take the following from the Calcutta English-
man of the 16th of August :
" From Bhootan we have the usual peace ru-
mours, but the preparations for renewing the cam-
paign continue, and there is little doubt that peace,
if made at all, will be made at Punakha. The Go-
vernment are now doing what should have long
since been done—recalling the troops from the un-
healthy posts in the Dooars. Since it is determined
to march into the interior of the country in the cold
season, there can no longer be any object in con-
tinuing to occupy them. The llth Native Infantry,
by the last accounts received, had upwards of 400
men in hospital. The commander-in-chief appears
determined to put an end to the differences between
the military and civil officers on the frontier, and
the former have been directed to pay implicit
obedience to the requisitions and instructions of the
chief civil officer in the Bhootan Dooars, with respect
to the affairs of Bhootan, and to the provision of
carriage and supplies for troops marching to the
frontier or employed there.
" The proposal relative to the extension of the
Eastern Bengal Railway to Goalundo has been re-
ferred to the Home Government for final conside-
ration and orders.

The report of the Salt Water Lakes Commis-
sioners has been issued. The Committee has recom-
mended that everything asked for be conceded, and
the few conditions that are attached to these con-
cessions are fair to all parties. The commissioners
are of opinion that even if the lakes were merely
drained and the soil ordinarily drilled, and even as-
suming that the full estimated cost had to be paid
for the lands, the undertaking would still yield 5 per
cent. ; whereas, with the application of sewage, the
annual returns would be fully 10 per cent. The
Commissioners also state that some persons, and
among them Mr. Armstrong, think that the re-
claimed lands would yield as much as 30r. per acre,
and even more.

" The Government of India is about to move the
Secretary of state to select six gentlemen in England
to fill present and prospective vacancies in the Edu-
cational Department. One of these gentlemen, who
must be a high Cambridge wrangler, will be ap-
pointed to the chair of Natural Philosophy, on a
salary of £9OO, to be raised in the course of four
years to £1,200. The remaining five must be gra-
duates in honours of one or other of the Universities
in classics, mathematics, or physical science. They
will receive an immediate salary of £6OO, to be in-
creased in four years to one of £9OO. All these
officers will be required to pass the usual examina-
tion in one vernacular language before becoming
entitled to any increase of salary. These appoint-
ments are to be made at once, so as to enable the
selected candidates to arrive by the Ist January."
We take the following summary of news from the
Bombay Gazette of the 23d of August :
" During the last fortnight we have had a good
fall of rain in Bombay, the total registered for the
season being nearly 70 inches. Reports from the
up-country state that the rains have been tolerably
general, and in several places inundations have
taken place which have caused considerable destruc-
tion to property. The state of the public health in
Bombay continues very satisfactory, and, notwith-
standing the re-appearance of the rains, the last
weekly return shows the total number to be only.
380. The Bengal and Bombay Steamship Com-
pany have determined to despatch a steamer once a
month between Bombay and Suez vice versa, in
connection with steamers from Alexandria to Liver-
pool, for the conveyance of passengers and cotton.
" A rejoinder by Dr. Leith to the report of the
Army Sanitary Commission has been published. It
shows that the average rate of mortality during the
last 15 years in the Bombay army has been about 29
per mile.
" The line of railway between Calcutta And Delhi
was to be opened for through traffic on the 15th
inst., the last connecting link, the Jumna Bridge,
having been at last completed.
" Colonel Playfair, political resident at Zanzibar,
arrived in Bombay on board her Majesty's steamer
Lyra, on the 14th inst. The Colonel intended to
have accompanied the Sultan to Zanzibar, who is to
pay a visit to this city next month, but was obliged
to leave on account of ill-health.
" Sad accounts continue to be received from
Bhootan of the health of the troops. Four officers
belonging to the 11th Native Infantry have died,
and seven others have been sent away sick. The
whole of the force suffered very severely, so that
the men left form merely a remnant of their former
corps. Authority has been given for raising two
Coolie corps of 500 each for service in Bhootan, to
be commanded by European officers. Preparations
are being made for active operations in Bhootan,
and a force of not less than 7,000 men, 1,000 of
whom are to be Europeans, is to be brought
together to invade that territory.
" It is reported that Sher Shah, supported by the
Akhoond of Swat, has risen in rebellion near Shree-
nuggur, in Cashmere.

" It was stated some time ago that the Rajah of
Dhulbhoom was accused of offering a human sacri-
fice to the goddess Rokinee, and was acquitted by
the tribunal before which he was brought for want
of evidence. The British authorities have since
destroyed the goddess.
" His Excellency the Viceroy is expected to leave
Simla for the plains next month, and on his way to
hold a grand durbar at Delhi. There is a rumour
that the Viceroy will visit Rajpootana during the
ensuing cold season.
" The reported murder by fanatics of Lieutenant
Campbell, of her Majesty's 90th Regiment, in Cash-
mere, turns out to be incorrect.
4, Intelligence has been received of the loss of the
Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Corea
and a private steamer, the Chanticleer, supposed to

'on the 30th of June. A country ship, the Fatty-
ool-aziz, with 250 pilgrims on board, has been lost
in the Hooghly.
"An insurrection is reported to have broken out
at Bhawulpoor, but nothing serious is expected to
result therefrom.
" The Governor-General has authorized the rail-
way companies to receive currency notes of other
circles than those in which they are issued, if ten-
dered by travellers in payment of railway fares, but
not for payment of carriage of merchandise.
mr. Davis has been appointed to officiate as
Chief Commissioner of Oudh during the absence of
Mr. Wingfield, on leave.

" The foundation stone of the Poona Engineer-
ing College has been laid by his Excellency the

" A committee, consisting of Captain Sherard
Osborn, Colonel de Lisle, Mr. A. Crawford, and a

panies, has been appointed by Government to report
on the subject of over-bridges needed on the Great
I Indian Peninsula Railway line passing through the
native town of Bombay.
"It is reported that the Bengal Sappers and
Miners are about to be reorganised ou a very liberal
footing. The numbers of both officers and men are
to be increased, and instruction branch' formed.
" A fatal accident recently occurred on the East
Indian Railway near Cawnpore, by a passenger train
from Delhi coming into collision with another pas-
senger train from Calcutta. The drivers of both
the trains escaped with slight injuries, but two
Europeans and ten native 3 were killed upon the spot,

The Cholera in the Mediterranean.

VALETTA, Sept. 22.

The epidemic has not declined during the week.
On the 17th the cases rose to 33 attacks and 20
deaths, and on the 19th to 35 attacks and 22 deaths.
On the following day they fell to 13 attacks and 18
deaths, but, on the next day, they rose again to 21
attacks and 18 deaths. The increase is chiefly owing
to fresh outbreaks at Vittoriosa and Teitun. The
former is one of the towns on the shores of the filthy
dockyard creek, and the latter is suffering much
from want of work. The average number of cases
in Valetta has been, for some time past, about three
daily. To-day there were only two attacks, and the
accounts from such parts of the country as have
been received are more satisfactory.

On the 13th and 18th the island was visited by
storms of thunder and rain, but the hopes of an
amelioration in its sanitary condition to be derived
thereby have not been gratified. The coolweather
has not yet set in, and it is feared the epidemic will
not leave us until that period.
The total number of deaths among the troops, in-
cluding women and children, up to the 14th inst.,
was 115, out of about 150 to 160 attacks. Since
then several cases have occurred, especially in the
84th Regiment, which for a long time escaped the
disease entirely. Yesterday five cases manifested
themselves in this regiment, and one in the Royal
Artillery.
The following are the returns of cholera cases in
the civil population since the 11th inst., the date of
my last communication :

The accounts of the cholera in the Levant are
more encouraging. It has disappeared from Alex-
andria, although it still lingers in Upper Egypt, on
account of which clean bills of health have not yet
been issued. The rise of the Nile above the ave-
rage height has gladdened all hearts, aid promises
a splendid cotton crop.
From Smyrna, Constantinople, Odessa, and other
ports, reassuring news is received. At Smyrna, ac-
cording to a letter of the 13th instant, confi-
dence was being restored, the epidemic having
ceased for some days. A great deal of misery,
however, required to be relieved. At Constanti-
nople, where the disease had assumed the most
gigantic proportions, it is at present limited to a
few cases daily. From Odessa we learn that clean
bills of health are now issued from that port.
Corfu, as indeed all Greece, I believe, continues
free from cholera, but fevers were very prevalent.
A steamer, lately arrived at Corfu from Brindisi,
reported a case of cholera there.
The Malta Relief Fund, for the assistance of per-
sons suffering from the present visitation of cholera,
has lately received the munificent donation of £lOO
from Messrs. Burns and Maclver, of Liverpool, in
addition to a personal donation, on the part of Mr.
Maclver, of £5O.

We are informed on most unquestionable autho-
rity that a decided and undoubted case of Asiatic
cholera, with a fatal result, has occurred in South-
ampton. The victim was a man named Rose, about
30 years of age, residing in Brewhouse-court, Brew-
house-lane, who died on Sunday, about 36 hours
from his first attack, the symptoms at every stage
being those of the most virulent form of this dread..
ful disease. The unfortunate man himself dated
his illness having been engaged a few days previously
in cleaning out a very offensive cesspool. Another
case, that of a woman living in a different part of
the town, is also reported as presenting similar
symptoms. Although these cases; should they both
prove to be Asiatic cholera, may not presage an im-
mediate prevalence of the epidemic, they are suffi-
ciently alarming to call for vigilant and energetic
measures, without an hour's delay, on the part of
the local authorities, and, if necessary, the Govern-
ment itself. With a full consideration of the fact
that the town of Southampton is in direct commu-
nication, by means of the mail steamers, with the
Mediterranean, and only four days from Gibraltar,
where the cholera now prevails, and at which port
these steamers call, every possible sanitary precau-
tion should be at once taken to guard the health,
not only of the inhabitants of Southampton, but tlie
country at large.

THE GREENWI C H PE NS I ONE R s.—Yesterday nearly
200 out of the 900 pensioners of Greenwich Hospi-
tal who have accepted the Admiralty offer of pension
allowances, in conformity with the Act passed in the last
Session of Parliament, left that establishment for various
parts of the country they have selected for their future
home, and by the end of the present week it is calculated
that the whole 900 will have left, and that Greenwich
Hospital, which only a few years ago had upwards cf 2,000
inmates, will not contain more than 450. Those are prin-
cipally cripples, or persons otherwise infirm, and to them.
only will the Hospital in future be open. Those pensioners
who have taken their discharge are to receive the same
amount of out-pension as that which they gave up when
they entered the establishment, in addition to which
they aro to be paid a "Greenwich Hospital pension," pro-
viding they come within the following rules :—lf the pen..
sionor is 55 years of ago, and has been a pensioner (whether
in the Hospital or out) for a period of five years, ho will be
paid sd. a day—that is £7 12s. per annum : or, if he is 70
years of age, and has been a pensioner (whether in the Hos-
pital or out) for a period of ten years, he will be paid 9d. a
day—that is, £l3 12s. a year. In further addition to his
pension ho will be paid one-half the money allowance he
was receiving from the Hospital on the 6th of April last
whether it be the weekly money paid to him of either
three, four, or five shillings, according to his classification,
or the two shillings' allowance to married men, or his
weekly wages for acting in any capacity which is paid out
of the Hospital funds. In making the foregoing allowances
the Lords of the Admiralty have desired, as far as their
powers enable them, to make up an allowance of £36 10s.
a year, which is equal to 14s. a week. The foregoing pen--
sions and money allowance will not, however, in the case of
every pensioner make up that sum, and in such cases the
Lords of the Admiralty have allowed the deficient amount
to be made up, if possible, out of the other half of the money
allowance. The proper fare for the conveyance home of
the pensioners has also been allowed. Theyare also entitled
to take their chest of clothes with them, and to be read-
mitted at any time hereafter on becoming infirm and
