A moderate inquiry.

We understand that the first returns of the
inspectors appointed under the Cattle Diseases Prevention
Act, 1866, for the county of Middlesex, for the week end-
ing March 3 (exclusive of that part of it within the limits of
the Metropolis Local Management Act) showa total slough_
ter of nine cattle only. Of these eight were slaughtered at
Colebrook and one a Spring-grove. We trust, therefore,
that the plague is now confinedwithin narrowllmtts in this
county.

DORMANT AND ATTAINTED PEERAGES.—SeveraI of
the most ancient and historic of our peerage dig-
nities are under attainder ; otherwise the Earl of Stam-
ford would be Marquis of Dorset ; the Duke of Buc-
cleuch, Duke of Monmouth ; the Earl of Abergavenny,
Earl of Westmoreland ; Captain Charles Stanuard Eus-
tace, Viscount Baltinglass ; and Mr. Marmion Ferrors,
of Baddesley Clinton, might prove his right to be Earl
of Derby by a creation older than that of the Stanleys.
In course of time it may fairly bo anticipated that these
attainders will be reversed, and that other extinct or
dormant titles may be restored to the extant peerage. The
earldom of Wiltes has a collateral heir male in Mr. Scrope,
of Danby, the male representative of the house of &Tope ;
and the barony of Scrope of Bolton appears to belong to
Mr. Henry James Jones, heir general of the same illustri-
ous race ; Mr. Lowndes, of Chesham, and 3fr. Selby-
Lowndes, of Whaddon, are co-heirs to the baronies of
Montacute and Monthermer ; Sir B. W. Bridges, in all pro-
bability, is entitled to the barony of Fitz-Walter; Lord
Dufferin is undoubtedly the senior heir of the Earls of
Clanbmssill ; Col. Komoys-Tynte has established his co-
heirship to the barony
of Wharton ; Mr. Anstruther-
Thomson, of Charleton, county of Fife, is heir general of
the St. Clairs, Earls of Orkney and Lords Sinclair; a
Dillon is unquestionably in existence, the rightful Earl of
Roscommon ; and a Fitz Patrick, who_ ought to be Lord
Upper Ossory ; and Mr. O'Neill, of Shanes Castle, is the
heir general of the Lords O'Neill, as well as the possessor of
their wide-spread estate.--Sir Bernard Burke's Dormant
and Exttnet Peeraue.
