The Cattle Plague In England.

The epidemic, which some time ago
broke out among the cattle in England,
RIGGS with undated fury, and is Occas-
Joining serious Inconvenience among all
consumers of meat. The disease is no
longer confined to cattle nlOnc, but
sheep and hogs IRE also affected by it.
Large quantities Of cattle and sheep arc
imported from the continent to supply
in part the demand TINT cannot be met
ut home, but the prices for beef and
mutton have advanced ut London to 25c
in specie per pound, thus placinga meat
diet out of the reach Of the poorer and
middling classes. The disease is now
believed to have originated in England,
and not to have been brought from the
continent, MS was thought ut first. 1t is
highly infectious, and when 1t has once
entered herd there is no escape from
ii and 10 remedy that can check its
progress. Herds of cattle In private
parks TINT have no connection with 9th.
or herds are also seized with II, and the
cause of the disease and how to battle It's
attacks are alike concealed in mystery
yet. Where so many cattle are daily
dying there is strong temptation for
their owners to smuggle some Of the
diseased meat into market, and no
Englishman can sit down to his plate
of ronst beef without mn inward fear
thnt his dinner may prove his death
warrant. Inspectors appointed by tho
government scOur the country for dis
eased herds of cattle, which Hre ut once
ordered to be killed, and other equally
vigilnnt inspectors watch the markets
daily, and condemn tons of nicely
dressed meat every week. Among
sheep the disease is more manageable
and proves less rntal. The effect Of SO
lnrge depletion Of the butter and beef
furnishing stock in England will be to
occasion a large demand for them upon
this country; and even II the dlseNse
should not find It's way to this country
we shall indirectly be the sufferers from
the plague by having To pay higher
price,. But IL will furnish II golden
harvest to our large stock rnisers, for i
will be some years before tho English
hGrtlsmen can recover from the ELECTS
of this endemic,

Sanctity ofthe Con 81 Onal.

A London letter writer for the New
York Herald relates tho following:
Tin former letter told you of the Gu.
rious story of Miss Constance Kent, and
of her confession that she was the perps-
traitor Of the famous Road murder.
think l also told you that this unfortun.
ate young lady had been for some time
previous to the confession an inmate of q
sort Of religious house of the Church OF
England persuasion. During her stay in
that house she confessed her crime to the
Clergyman who o6iciates there-a Rev.
Mr.. Wagner and it appears that it was
under the reverend gentleman's instruc.
lions that she came to the resolution Of
giyn: herself up into the hands cf Justice
and contessing her crime. The Rev. Mr..
Wagner accompanied Miss Kent on her
first confession, and was, along with tho
Lady Superior Of the religious house,
present when Miss Kent was questioned
before the magistrate of Trowbridge On
that occasion the Rev. Mr.. Wagner was
questioned also by the magistrate, but
refused to answer some Of their questions,
on the ground that bis knowledge was &C.
quired in the confessional and conse.
quently was Of private nature. Mr..
Wagner may mention, is q clergyman Of
the Church Of England. This refusal on
the part of Mr.. Wagner led to some cues.
tons, as to the sacaed nature of O con.
tession made to a priest, being asked in
the House Of Lords yesterday, when the
Lord Chancellor declared that there wero
no such privileged communications &C.
cording to English law. 1t may be ques-
ton how far the Lord Chancellor is right,
and that may perhaps be tried at some
future period; but, any rate, it is remark.
able instance Of bsgotry, if it is right such
a state of things should exist in England,
and it rs to be hoped that change will
be introduced into the law. As now ex-
listing i: is direct insult to Catholic.
