BRECONSHIRE.

At the Epiphany Quarter Sessions for this county
there was a very full attendance of magistrates—
Mr. Henry Williams, chairman, to take into con-
sideration the last Order in Council having refe-
rence to the cattle plague. The greatest unanimity
pervaded the sentiments enunciated by the gen-
tlemen who took part in the discussion, and the fol-
lowing resolutions were passed—" In pursuance of
the order of the Lords of her Majesty's Most Hon.
Privy Council, dated the 16th of Dec., 1865, with
reference to the contagious or infectious disorder
now prevailing among cattle, it is deemed expe-
dient by the magistrates assembled at the general
Epiphany Quarter Sessions of the county of Brecon
to prevent the removal of every cow, heifer, bull,
bullock, ox, or calf to any market or fair, or to any
place whatever, within the county of Brecon, for
exhibition, until the Ist day of March next." " That
it shall not be lawful for any person from the date
of this notice until the Ist of March next to bring
or send any such animal as aforesaid from any other
place in Great Britain into any place within the
county of Brecon. Any person offending herein will
for every offence forfeit a sum not exceediag £20."
The following resolutions were also adopted :
" Provided always that nothing contained in these
orders shall be held to prohibit any person from
bringing or sending to any butcher within the juris-
diction any fat stock bona fide purchased by such
butcher, such fat be slaughtered within 48 hours of
such bringing or sending." " That the Court do
memorialise the Secretary of State to invest the ma-
gistrates with power to prevent the introduction of
hides and skins into this jurisdiction, as well as
the exportation of the same from the county until
the Ist day of March, 1866." In addressing the
grand jury, the chairman stated that, although the
county of Brecon had hitherto been free from the
plague, the Court had deemed it necessary to pass
the above resolutions as a preventive to its intro-
duction. The Court had full power to prevent the
importation of swine, goats, and sheep, but it was
to be hoped there would be no necessity for it. It
had been said that dogs could convey the infection
from one farm to another. He therefore thought
the farmers would do well to prevent strange dogs
coming on their farms. In fact, one gentleman had
said that so mysterious was the infection of the dis-
ease that a stick dipped into infected water in the
north of England and brought down to Cornwall
would be sufficient to generate the cattle plague.

CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND THE ISLE OF ELY.

At Sutton upwards of 30 beasts have died during
the week. Only one of a fine herd of cows, the pro-
perty of Mr. J. Warth, is now left alive. In the
Marsh district Mr. Jones, of Shaw's Dike farm, has
lost five beasts • Mr. T. Wilson, of Doddington,
one ; Mr. J. Morton, of Stoned farmed, one ; Mr.
T. Wilson, at Fendike farm, eight; Mr. Shepperson,
of Stafford's farm, one ; Mr. J.. Infield, of West
Fen, one ; and Mr. G. Hutchinson, one. At Cotten-
ham five or six beasts are dying on an average daily.
At Willingham the deaths were not so numerous
last week, but since the outbreak of the disease the
total loss has been about 470 in this village. The
disease has broken out Comberton. At Chi pen-
ham Mr. Newman has lust 29 steers and heifers,
a milch cow. The disease has also
three calves, and
reached the farm of Mr. Louis Kent, who has lost a
valuable cow.

ESSEX,

In the Colchester district there is no great spread
of the disease. The stock of Mr. R. Wheeler, of
Great Wigborough, has, however, suffered greatly,
and there seems a probability that he will lose his
entire herd. Mr. Rodwell, of Dedham, has lost one
or two beasts. At the County Quarter Sessions
this week Mr. Du Cane, M.P., complained of the
conduct of the Government in the matter. The
i
hon. gentleman observed that the Government n
effect said
the cattle We are most anxious to stamp out
Plague from the country, but we are wait-
ing for the action of the county authorities." The
county authorities said :—" We only wish we could
make the cattle plague disappear, but we are wait-
ing for the action of the Government." It was
agreed that a general order should be issued applic-

able to the whole county, under powers of the Order
in Council of Dec. 16. The order provided, that
up to March 1, "No cow, heifer, bull, bul' ock, ox,
or calf, shall be brought from any other part of
Great Britain beyond the county of Essex into that
county ; and further, that no such animal shall be
driven or conveyed along any highway within the
said county from any place within such county to
any other place within the same, or from or to any
part thereof, for any purpose whatever." The fol-
lowing provisoes were, however, added :—" Pro-
vided, nevertheless, that this prohibition shall not
extend to prevent persons living within such county
as aforesaid having animals fitted for slaughter,
and which have been bona fide in the possession of
the owners thereof at least 28 days prior to sale, from
sending the same from any part of such county to the
nearest railway station, or to any butcher for the pur-
pose of sale and slaughter only, provided a certificate
signed by two justices of the peace acting for the
said county and within the same district, authoris-
ing such removal, be first had and obtained for such
purpose.: And provided that cattle, the bona fide
property of the owner, may be removed from one
part of the occupation to another along a highway
for any distance not exceeding 300 yards." The
magistrates also adopted a memorial to the Home
Secretary praying the Government to substitute their
own immediate action for the present local authori-
ties, which, the memorialists added, " have hardly
as yet met the grave difficulties of the case."

Day.

The trade for wheat in the couqtry markets held on
Saturday was quiet in the extrem, and secondary de-
scriptions of produce could only be disposed of at lower
prices, whilst the finest samples changed hands at slightly
reduced quotations. Spring corn of all descriptions was
in slow request at barely late rates. Flour moved off
slowly at about stationary prices.
On the Continent the wheat trade has ruled quiet, yet
d very little change has taken place in prices. Spring corn,
however, is tolerably firm. At New York a fair business
is doing in brearlstuffs for export to Europe.
The arrivals of English produce up to our market last
week were moderate. The imports from abroad amounted
to 1,230 quarters of wheat, 3,405 barley, 6,818 oats, 6,440
peas, 10 tares, 2,933 linseed, 8,128 rapeseed, 9,258 maize,
620 sundry seeds, 2,222 sacks and 7,103 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were but moderate, and the bulk of the samples was
received in poor condition. Even the best samples had a
slow sale at barely late rates, whilst the trade for middling
and inferior produce was very inactive, and sales could
only be effected at a reduction in price from Monday last
of ls. per quarter. There was a fair supply of old wheat
on the stands, the demand for which was in a sluggish
state on rather easier terms.

With foreign wheat the market was moderately supplied.
The amount of business transacted was very moderate, and
the trade presented a somewhat heavy appearance. To
have effected sales of any extent holders would have been
compelled to accept a reduction in price of ls. peg quarter.
Floating cargoes, both of wheat and spring corn, were in
limited request, and the quotations had a drooping
tendency.

rate. The advance in the Bank rate has had the effect of
contracting operations on. the part of buyers, but not of
producing heaviness in the quotations. Last week's im-
ports were 565 bales from Sydney, 861 Adelaide, and 164
bales from Port Natal.

In the report of the proceedings of the adjourned
quarter sessions in The Sun of Saturday a slight in-
accuracy occurred as to the slate prohibiting the re-
moval of cattle within any part of the county. The
resolution of the court was---" That it is expedient
from the ' 6th' (not the 16th) of January until the
' Bth' of February (not ' 18th') next absolutely to
prevent the removal of any cow, heifer, bull, bul-
lock, ox, sheep, lamb, goat, or swine to any market
or fair, or parish, or place whatsoever, within the
jurisdiction of the said justices, for the purpose of
exhibition or sale."

Congress and the President.

We have no disposition to disguise the deep concern
with which we regard the recent apparent divergence
between the Executive and Congress on the question of
reconstruction. It has long been feared by thinking men
among the Republicans, and of course it is hailed with
extreme delight by those who did everything they could
to embarrass the Government during its suppression of
the rebellion. But the crisis, in any event, is a trifling
one compared with the many which the sound and patriotic
masses of this country have been called to face, and to
triumph over, during the last four years. We have no doubt
that it will be settled, like the war before it, without any
undue satisfaction to traitors at the South or their abettors
at the North.

The question simply stands thus :—the Executive, con-
vinced that most of the seceded States are in a fit con-
dition for restoration to the Union, has done what belongs
to its own department toward thus restoring those States,
and it now invites Congress to perfect the process ; and
this, Congress as a co-ordinate branch of tho Govern-
ment, endowed with vital powers of rejection or admission,
is now to consider and decide upon. It is to carry on the
investigation for itself. It has before it the President's
brief, calm recommendations, which will be accorded the
weight they are felt to deser're. It has the report of Gen.
Grant, sincere and important, undoubtedly, but not very
explicit, and not based on any very extended examina-
tion. It will have Gen. Schurz's broader and fuller re-
port; and, finally, it will have the bast information that
can be obtained from all sources, perhaps including a
special committee of investigation. Its members will act,
not in passion or prejudice, but from a sense of their
great responsibility and their matured convictions of duty.
They may reach a substantial agreement with the Exe-
cutive, or they may decide to withhold yet front tl,te
seceded States that crowning privilege of the Union, a re-
presentation in Congress, without which a State can have
no real vitality.
In the meantime a still more powerful and decisive
process will be going on—the making up of the public
opinion of the country. It was the people that rose as
one man to resent and avenge the fall of Fort Sumter.

It was the people who kept the Government up to its
duties through all the darkest hour of the war, sustaining
the military arm, leading the way to emancipation, and
sealing the final victories. Let the people now examine
this question in all earnestness, pronouncing their voice
through the press, through public meetings, and all other
channolaof influence, and their will is sure to prevail in the
end, no matter how Presidents and Congresses may have
thought to act —Boston Journal.

The adjourned Quarter ,Sessions of this county
were held on Thursday, in compliance with a resolu-
tion proposed by Lord Llanover, the Lord-Lieute-
nant, to consider the advisability of issuing orders
with respect to the cattle plague. On the first day
of the sitting of the Court, which was a large one,
Sir Thomas Phillips pointed out the desirability of
having a uniformity of action throughout the
county, which could not be the case unless some of
the petty sessional orders were revoked ; as, for
instance, in some districts pigs and sheep were pro-
hibited from markets and fairs. As yet the county
had been free from the disease, and in order to secure
a continuance of this providential state of things
they must stop cattle coming into the county alto-
gether, and the sooner that was done the better.

Mr. RELPH thought they would suffer less from
dying than by prohibiting their being transported
from one:part of the county to another. He would
support a motion for the prevention of the introduc-
tion of cattle from districts without the county.
The CHAIRMAN (\Jr. R. S. Bosanquet) thought
the stopping of fairs would be a good protection.
Mr. RELPH argued that it would be of serious con-
sequence if the sale of sheep and pigs were prohi-
bited. •

COL CLIFEORD said, if the disease was not in the
county, it was spreading in some parts of Hereford-
shire, adjoining, and cattle near the border might be
easily driven over. In order to be safe they must
prohibit the passing from one district to another.
Mr. WILLIAms was of opinion that they should
exclude all horned stock, but not._ sheep and pigs,
from entering the county, and prevent horned stock
from traversing from place to place within the
county.

Mr. RELPH said that in the mountains sheep were
together, and had free access to adjoining counties.
He should be glad to see them excluded, but how
could they do it?

The Hon. CLIFFORD BUTLER thought it would
meet the wishes of the majority of the farmers if
they prohibited all cattle, sheep, and pigs coming
into the county, and allowed sheep and pigs to be
sold at fairs and markets.

Sir T. PHILLIPS suggested that no cattle, sheep,
or pigs should be conveyed from place to place
within the county by rail, and in this suggestion the
Court agreed.
It was eventually agreed that orders should be
issued revoking all petty sessional orders and prohi-
biting the introduction of horned stock, sheep, and

pigs into the county from any other county, the
exhibiting of any horned stock at any fair or mar-
ket (this prohibition not to extend to sheep and
pigs), and the conveyance by railway from place to
place in the county of any cattle, sheep, or pigs.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of English beasts on sale here to-day was
very limited, and it was chiefly composed of a few Scots
from Norfolk, shipped at Yarmouth. From Scotland we
received 185 Scots and crosses, and from Ireland 50 oxen
and heifers. The quality of most breeds was good, and
there were some remarkably fine French beasts on offer,
and which commanded high rates. The beef trade ruled
firm, at prices fully equal to Monday last. In some instances
they advanced 2d per 81bs. The best Scots and crosses sold
at 5s 6d per 81bs. The extreme quotation was 5s 8d per
81bs. Between 300 and 400 foreign beasts were seized at
the wharf this morning by the Customs' authorities.
Tho show of foreign beasts was large, and good prices
wore realised for them by the salesmen.

There was a full average number of sheep in the pens,
in, for the most part, excellent condition. 0 wing to the
high prices demanded, the mutton trade was in a sluggish
state. However, 2d per Blbs more money was occasionally
made. The general top price was Gs 101, the extreme 7s
per 81bs. Shorn Downs sold at 5s 4d to 5s 6d per 81bs.

The few lambs on offer sold at fully late rates, namely,
from 7s Gd to 8d per 81bs.

The supply of calves was wholly composed of foreign,
which moved off freely, at from 5s 8d to 6s 8d per 81bs.
Pigs were in fair supply, and moderate request, at late
rates.

SUBSCRIPTIONS for the WIDOW and
CHILDREN of the late Captain R. IL GRONOW,
formerly of the Grenadier Guards, and Author cf " Recol-
lections and Anecdotes," " Celebrities of London and
Paris," &c. Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris,
has left a widow and four young children, by his second
marriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his
funeral expenses, or even to purchaio bread. Captain
Gronow was disinherited by his father, in favour of
his brother, a clergyman, and the small incomo which
he derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family
estate ceased with his life ; while the sums ho received
from time to time for his " Recollections" were expended
in providing for the increasing expenses of his young
Tamily. Under these distressing circumstances the friends
of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now
appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in
London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for
contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her
children.

Subscriptions received by Messrs. Small, ELDER, and
Co., 65, Cornhill, and 45, Pall-mall ; and by Messrs. Cox
