CORNWALL.

The past week showed a most satisfactory dimi-
nution of the virulence of the cattle plague in the
county of Cornwall, and the number of cases now
under treatment is comparatively small. At
Truro nine deaths occurred in the week ; at St.
Erme, three; atTrewarrack, one; at Treverlyn, one;
at Trelank, four; at Penmain, two ; at Trefesa,
one ; at Lostwithiel, one ; at St. Colomb, two. In
the parish of Ludgvan 12 animals were on Thurs-
day reported to be progressing favourably under the
muriatic acid treatment. An order issued by the
Court of Quarter Sessions for the county came into
operation on Tuesday. The order enacts that no
cow, heifer, bull, bullock, ox, calf, sheep, lamb,
goat, or swine shall be brought into any market or
fair for sale or exhibition between the 16th instant
and the let March next. At the annual meeting of
the Truro Agricultural Exchange on Thursday, Mr.
H. S. Leverton, surgeon, stated that a fortnight
ago he had been employed by Lord Falmouth to
vaccinate about 100 head of cattle at Tregothnan ;
he obtained sufficient lympth from children to vac-
cinate 17 animals, and the result had been most
satisfactory, for 11 of the cows had taken very well,
and from these he had on the previous day vacci-
nated 23 others. He considered that by this experi-
ment a great principle had been established—viz.,
that vaccination could be done from the child to the
cow as well as from one cow to another. The pro-
cess which was adopted was to put three points of
ivory charged with vaccine matter inside the left
ear, again on the shoulder, and also on the soft skin
near the vulva, close to the tail. He thought the in-
side of the ear was decidedly the best place for vac-
cination.

WOOL.

The demand for home-grown wool has somewhat im-
proved, but the actual business doing is very moderate.
Prices, however, are steadily supported. In colonial wool,
by private contract, a limited business has been transacted,
at late rates. Last week's imports into London were about
2,000 bale; tbc, bulk of which was from the Cape of Good
Hope.

THAMES.

THE DANGERS or TOWSR-RlLL.—Robert Jackson and
David Don, well dressed men, represented as clerks in City
houses, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with.being
drunk and incapable of taking care of themselves.
Joseph llemsley, a constable of the City of London
Police Farce, No. 579, stated that at half-past 3 o'clock on
Saturday afternoon he was sent for by the landlord of the
Crooked Billet public-house on Tower-hill, to remove two
gentlemen who were intoxicated and unable to take care of
themselves. He found the prisoners there helplessly drunk
and surrounded by a great number of thieves. They would
have stripped the prisoners of all the property they
had about them if he bad not appeared among them.
He saw several of the most desperate ruffians that
ever disgraced society about the prisoners, and they were
greatly enraged at being deprived of their prey. He took
the prisoners into custody and lodged them in the station-
house.

Jackson, who had a large shade over his loft eye, said
that ho was drunk.

Don—So was I, dead drunk, 1 believe.
Mr. Paget—This is a most disgraceful position for per-
sons of your station to be in, and I hope you are ashamed
of yourselves. You are fined ss. each for being drunk and
incapable of taking care of yourselves.
The fines were paid.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—T ITO rough-looking youths,
named Luke Dixon and Bernard Curley, were brought
before Mr. Paget charged with violently assaulting James
Watts, police constable, No. 303 K.
The complainant, who has sustained very serious in-
juries, and, it is feared, will be off duty for some time, saw
the prisoner Dixon in Shadwell last evening soon after six
o'clock, while the parishioners were on the way to church
and chapel. The prisoner was intoxicated and making use
of very disgusting language. The constable requested him
to desist, which ho refused to do, and commenced the most
dreadful abuse of the constable, who said I must take you
into custody. The prisoner said lam stronger than you,
you shall not take me, and knocked him down. He then
kicked him with considerable violence about the head
and face, and broke his helmet. Curley joined
in this savage treatment, and also kicked the constable,
while the Shadwoll blackguards and thieves called out kill
the —, and his life certainly would have been sacrificed
if aid had not arrived from the King David-lane station.
The scene was ono of unmitigated ruffianism, and the

CUMBERLAND.

The cattle plague continues its ravages in Cum-
berland with unabated virulence. Radiating from
Carlisle, the disease has spread into the district on
the north of the city. The whole of the infected
farms in Cumberland come within the district of
two inspectors, whose latest returns are as follows :
—Cumberland Ward : Original number of herds in
which the disease has appeared, 1,856 ;of which
died, 293 ; condemned and destroyed, 212 ; passed
as healthy and slaughtered for market, 246 ; now
affected, 131 ; recovered, 71, leaving 898 now
unaffected out of the original number of
herds. In the Wigton district the returns are
these :—Original number of herds in which the
disease appeared, 527 ; died, 159 ; condemned,
and destroyed, 19; passed as sound and slaughtered
for market, 29 ; now affected, 51; recovered, 53 ;
leaving 216 unaffected at present. From these re-
turns it appears that 683 beasts have fallen victims
to the disease, and 129 recoveries are reported. The
vaccination theory has created great interest in Cum-
berland; inmany parts of the county cattle are being
vaccinated, but considerable difficulty has been ex-
perienced in obtaining a sufficient supply of lymph.
It is proposed by some farmers to send a few of the
vaccinated cattle into an infected district, with a
view to testing the efficacy of vaccination as a pre-
ventive measure. At the adjourned meeting of the
Cumberland Quarter Sessions on Saturday some
modifications of the general rules laid down for the
restriction of the movement of cattle were adopted.
The movement of cattle from within a radius of two
miles of any place where the plague exists was ab-
solutely interdicted. It was resolved to request the
Master of the Cumberland Foxhounds to suspend
hunting for the remainder of the season, complaints
having been made of the dogs ranging about the
country.

Metropolitan Board of Works.

The weekly meeting of the board took place yes-
terday at the office, Spring-gardens, Sir John
Thwaites presiding. Mr. Pollard, clerk, read a
letter from Mr. Helps, of the Privy Council-office,
requesting the board to forward a list of names and
addresses of inspectors appointed under the Cattle
Diseases Prevention Act. A letter was also read
from the engineer of the London, Chatham, &c,
Railway, submitting a plan of proposed widening of
the bridge over Southwafk.street. Mr. Shaw moved
that the legal adviser of the board should state
whether in his opinion the provisions of the 70th
section of the 18th and 19th Vic., chap. 120, read-
ing that clause in conjunction with the sth section
of the 25th and 26th Vic., chap. 102, and also with
section 40 of 21st and 22d Vic., chap. 104, have
been complied with in respect to the following
words :—" That the Metropolitan Board shall
assess and cause to be raised in each year upon the
City of London, and other parts of the metropolis,
such sums as in their judgment will be equivalent
to a rate of 3d. in the pound on the annual value of
the property in the said city, estimated according to
the estimate or basis on which the county rate is
assessed." Mr. Shaw contended that the City and
metropolis should be placed exactly on the same
basis of rating in order to remove the present ine-
quality. Mr. Smith, solicitor to the board, in
answer to the question, stated that so far as he
knew, or had been concerned in any advice respect-
ing the main drainage rate, the board had desired
to act strictly according to the sections of the act
referred to, and that the board had desired to
obtain the proper estimate or basis on
which to issue their precept. Ile was not
aware that the board had departed from
the provisions of the statute on the subject. An
animated discussion ensued, in which Messrs Free-
man, Roche, Richardson, and other members took
part. The chairman advocated the establishment
of a uniform principle of assessment for the City
and metropolis. Indeed, until one uniform sys-
tem was founded, satisfaction would never be felt
by the community. The'subject then dropped.

THE CUSTOMS CLERKS.

Mr. TOBBENS asked the Finance Secretary
Treasury, whether it was the fact that the clerks of
the
Inspector General of Imports and Exports had apiZiathe
the Board of Customs for lib:rty to forward
petition to the Lords Commissioners of her Aiajesty's
Treasury, praying for a reconsideration of a petition
presented in May last, with a view to giving them a more
substantial benefit than is afforded by the recent Treasury
minute upon Customs salaries; and whether such permis-
sion had been refused ?
Mr. CHILDERS said the Treasury was at that time en-
gaged in a very difficult operation in considering the sa-
laries of the clerks in the Customs. Fart of the scheme
had been completed, which directly benefited about 1,000
clerks, and indirectly benefited a great many more.
Every change in the salaries of one class affected those
whose salaries were not interfered with, and he thought it

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST AN ADVERTISEMENT CLERK.
—Henry Baynes, clerk, in the employ Qf Messrs.
tons, booksellers, of Waterloo-place, Liras brought before
Mr. Knox, charged with obtaining by false pretences from
Mr. Francis Hansard Rivington a cheque for £ll 12s. 6d.,
with intent to defraud.

Mr. Wontner, jun., appeared for the prosecution, and in
opening the case, said he was only prepared to go into one
case that day, but he was assnred there would be several
others, one being that of forgery. The system pursued by
the prisoner had been going on for a long time, the accounts
being falsified in some instance; while in others moneys
had been taken out of old account books and placed to the
new acconnts.

Mr. Francis Hansard Rivington, of the firm of Messrs.
Rivington, Waterloo-place, said—The prisoner has been
about three years clerk in our employ, and it is his duty
to examine the accounts for advertising in different papers,
and on his informing me of the amounts I gave him
cheques to pay them. He had had advertised in Notes
and Queries, and on the 24th Fob., the prisoner came to
me in the counting-house and brought me a memoran-
dum. On it was written Notes and Queries, £ll 12s. 6d.,
and the number of the page on the advertising ledger on
which the receipt was to be taken. On tho prisoner re-
turning in a few minutes with the ledger under his arm,
as if persons were waiting to be paid, I gave a cheque for
the amount. On the Ist of March I received a letter
from the Editor of Notes and Queries. In consequence I
referred to the lodger and saw the amount £ll 12s. 6d. was
entered as the amount due to Notes and Queries. When
accounts aro paid at our house receipts should bo
placed to the amount in the book produced. In
consequence of the letter I spoke to the prisoner, and
asked for the account of Notes and Queries, and ho took up
a bundle of accounts and pretended to bo looking for it.
I left the room for a short time, and on sending a clerk
afterwai ds for the prisoner I found that he had left the
house, and I saw no more of him till to-day. I received
the cheque I gave the prisoner to pay to Notes and Queries
back through my bankers.

Mr. Wm. (Ireig Smith, publisher of Notes and Queries,
said—Messrs. Rivington advertise in our periodical. On
the 24th February £5 9s. was due from them. On Monday,
the'26th, the prisoner called at our office and handed me a
cheque for £ll 12s. Gd. to take the amount. I gave him
the balance, and I signed a receipt oie the bill over a
stamp. I think the "G. W. Smi—" is my writing, but not
the " th." I do not think tin stamp iS the same, as I in-

Dr. Norman Macleod on the Bagpipes

At a soiree, held in connexion with St. Coluraba°
(Gaelic) Church, Glasgow, on Tuesday evening,
piper made his appearance on the platform, an
°
played several airs, to the evident delight of the
audience. Dr. Macleod afterwards addressed the
meeting, and in the course of his remarks spoke as
follows:—“ I don't know what it is that's abut
;
this Highland music, but I have for a number e;
years been hearing music of the best kind, 311"
played by the world's best performers, and I can listen
and enjoy it with all my heart; but the moment
I hear that auld bagpipe, it takes me by the throat.
(Laughter and applause.) If ever you find a
lander that does not care about the bagpipe, t 4"::
care to get a receipt from him when you pay hun
account. (Roars of laughter.) If he has no inno'
ear, don't blame the poor fellow, but pity bon"--
(renewed laughter)—but if he has a musical ear;
and don't like the pipes, take you care of till
chap. (Laughter.) There is a great deal of tal t
just now about organs, but I think there is a arcs`
advantage in an instrument which is not filled with
wind by the handle of a bellows, but by
the strong

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, March 9.

The judges, in opening the assizes, almost inva-
riably direct the attention of the grand juries to the
Fenian movement. At Clonmel, on Wednesday,
Dr. Ball referred to the fact that one of the most
daring manifestations of the conspiracy had occurred
in Tipperary since the leaders of the movement were

tried in Dublin—an armed attack upon the police,
accompanied by bloodshed—a convincing proof of
the infatuation of many of its members, whom
neither the futility
.of their schemes nor the fear of
punishment suffices to deter. He stated that there
are 23 persons in gaol in virtue of warrants from
the Lord-Lieutenant, and they must remain in cus-
tody till either the act expires or the same authority
shall release them. He reminded the members of
the grand jury that they could do much individually
to restore order by example, kindness, and justice.
By property, by education, and position they were
placed in the front of the social system, and were
they to recede from their allotted station and leave
their tenantry exposed to temptation the result
would be the gradual weakening of all the ties which
bind the various classes of society together. It was
to the honour of the gentry of Tipperary that they
had everywhere done their duty in this crisis.
In Armagh, Mr. Justice Fitzgerald remarked
upon the manifestations of party spirit in that
county, Orangemen and Roman Catholics marching
in hundreds through the country, carrying arms,
and playing party tunes. This was to be deplored
when all parties should be firmly united together
to support the Queen's authority, and resist trea-
sonable movements. lle was afraid that in that
part of the country the humbler classes were ar-
rayed against each other in two hostile camps, re-
garding each other with distrust and enmity
which a spark might cause to explode in criminal
excesses. lie relied on the grand jurors to use their
influence to put an end to that state of things.
At Sligo Mr. Justice O'Brien spoke at some
length and very earnestly on the subject of Fenian-
ism. He trusted the means taken by the Executive
to crush out this criminal and foolish conspiracy
would be successful, and that the people would see
the criminality andutterhopelessness of the wretched
and insane undertaking.

A correspondent writing from Cork yesterday to
the Daily Express states that nine men who had
returned from America per last packet have just been
arrested in Negan's publichouse, on Patrick's-quay,
and conveyed to prison on suspicion of complicity

with Fenianism. At Castlebar, John M'Corn

Mr. Henry Corns Benefit.

The severe indisposition which has for some time
past withdrawn Mr. Henry Corri from the lyric
stage, leaving no room to hope that he will be able
to resume his professional duties for many months
to come, several of his friends, who warmly ap-
preciate his artistic ability and private worth,
have organised a performance for his benefit,
which will take place at Covent-garden Theatre next
Wednesday afternoon. Many artistes who hold
very high rank in public favour have given gratify-
ing evidence of their kindly feelings towards the
beneficiare by the generous proffer of their valuable
services. _ _

The entertainment will be partly musical and
partly dramatic ; in the concert Miss Louisa Pyne,
Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Madame Parepa,
Mine. Weiss, Miss S. Pyno, Miss Whytock, Miss
Emma Adami, Madame Arabella Goddard, Mr.
Sims Reeves, Mr. W. 11. Cummings, Mr. Alberto
Laurence, Mr. J. G. Patey, and Herr Strauss will
appear; and the programme will also embrace a
scene from the " Willow Copse," supported by Mr.
J. L. Toole, Mr. Paul Bedford, and Mrs. Alfred
Mellon ; and the celebrated tavern scene from " The
Ticket-of-Leave Man," in which Miss Lydia Foote,
Miss Hughes, Miss Raynham, Mrs. Stephens, Mr.
H. Neville, Mr. G. Vincent, Mr. Atkins, Mr. Sou-
tar, and Mr. Horace Wigan, will sustain the cha-
racters—in which they have won laurels upon the
Olympic stage. Mr. Alfred Mellon will be the con-
ductor, and the band and chorus of the Royal Eng-
lish Opera have promised to co-operate in the good
work. A more brilliant programme has rarely been
presented, and certainly, the hearty readiness of
eminent artists to sacrifice their own convenience,
when by doing so they can give substantial aid to a
worthy sufferer, has never been more strikingly dis-
played ; it is earnestly to be hoped that the public
will do their part, and respond cordially to the ap-
peal now made to them in behalf of one who has
laboured zealously in their service, and afforded
them a large amount of legitimate gratification,
more especially since, while serving one who has a
strong claim to their sympathy, they will at the
same time secure to themselves the pleasure of lis-
tening to a very varied and delightful entertain-
, ment.

SAMBRE AND MEUSE.

The directors state in their report that they had
delayed it till the last moment, in the hope that the
negotiations which had for some time been pending
between the Belgian Government and the Great
Central of Belgium Railway (of which the Sambre
and Meuse Railway formed a part)might come to a
satisfactory conclusion, but the necessity for hcld-
ing a general meeting for the declaration of a divi-
dend, and the pledge made to the shareholders that
the dividend should be paid on the Ist of April and
Ist of October in each year, must be their excuse
for fixing the meeting while the negotiations were.
still pending. Should any decision be come to prior
to that date, no time would be lost in communicat-
ing it to the shareholders. It was proposed to
make a dividend of 4s. per share, payable on the
2d of April, provided the requisite number of share-
holders and amount of capital be represented at the
meeting to be held in Belgium on the 26th inst.
The capital account showed that £1,120,907 had
been expended.

RAILWAY BILLS.
Yesterday the Lords' Committees, consisting of
Lord Monteaglo (chairman), Earl Tankerville,
Earl Minto, Lord Hunsdon, and Lord De Lisle and
Dudley, commenced their sittings, and considered
the following bills :—The East London, which, the
opposition being withdrawn, will be referred to the
committee ; the Furness ; and the Furness and
Whitehaven and Furness and Cleator, which was
ultimately adjourned until Monday next.

The Earl of Devon's Committee, consisting of
the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Skelmersdale,
Lord Chaworth, Lord Congleton, and the Earl of
Devon (chairman), sat yesterday for the considera-
tion of some Gas and Water bills.

A third committee sat in the House of Lords yes-
terday, consisting of the Marquis of Bath (chairman),
Earl Portarlington, Earl Cawdor, Viscount Lifford,
and Lord Overstone, who considered the following
Railway Bills :—The Sandown and Newport (Isle
of Wight), which was thrown out ; the Dagenham
Dock Railways and the South Essex, which were to
be referred to the Chairman of Committees ; the
Talacre Pier and Harbour Railway, and the Ar-
drishaig, and Loch Awe, which were adjourned until
Alonday next.

In Group 2, the Maidstone and Ashford, with a
share capital £350,000 and £116,000 by loan, to
make 20i miles of railway, was passed. In the case
of the Iladlow the preamble was not proved. The
Elham Valley would be considered on Monday, and
the New Romney on Tuesday next.

ferees state that it is for a railway to connect Ti-
verton with Exeter. The works would be efficient
for the proposed objects, and the estimate would be
sufficient. •
