BIRMINGHAM TOWN-GALL ORGAN.—The following is a
description of this immense instrument :—" The height of
the case is fifty-four feet, and forty feet wide, and contains
about 4,000 pipes. The circumference of the CCCC metal
pipe is five Feet three inches ; the largest wood pipe (the
CCCC) is twelve feet in circumference, and its interior mea-
surement is two hundred and twenty-four cubic feet. The
organ contains sixty-three real stops, six copulas, and has
four sets of keys • the fourth is the combination, or solo
organ, upon which (by an ingenious contrivance) can be
played any stop or stops out of the swell or choir, without
interfering with their previous arrangement. There are se-
veral stops peculiar to this organ, and which are not to be
found in any other ; amongst them is the grand ophicleide,
invented by Mr. Hill, which is distinguished by its immense
power and richness of tone. The posaune is built on a large
scale, and is by far the most powerful ever made. By coup-
ling the pedals witlathe keys, eighty-seven pipes are made to

ith each pedal. The bellows contain three hundred
_pare feet of surface, andupwards of three tons weight upon
them is required to give the necessary pressure. The ma-

chinery of the organ is so very extensive, that the tracker

INFLUENZA AMONGST CATTLE AND SHEEP.—The con-
tagious disorder which has now for nearly four years more or
less attacked the cattle and sheep brought to the London
markets, has this year returned with unabated violence. The
principal effects on the sheep are shown upon the hoof, as
inflammation, and subsequently suppuration takes place round
the coronet of the hoof, which from that cause is thrown off,
thus differing from the common foot rot, the seat of which is
between the claws. The extent of this disease is so great,
that numbers of the sheep are obliged to be brought to
market in carts, and in cases where the pens are not crowded,
the poor animals lie down, and are incapable of again rising.
There is no doubt, however, that the complaint is consider-
ably ipereased by the crowded state of the pens, which are
quite inadequate for their accommodation, whilst this cir-
cumstance defies the iud2ment of the butcher. who is
