The RindeInasf.

The State Agricultural Society in Albany have
received from Professor Wilson, of Edinburgh,
very important information in regard to this
terrible disease, and with the reports made by
him and Others colored drawings and illustra-
tions which show the whole progress OF the
disease from the first attack to the death of the
animal. These drawings and the reports made
upon them are Invaluable, and put this country
in possession OF all the information secured
abroad after the labor of months. Professor
Wilson reports the disease as wholly inCurable
the authorities have prohibited the importation
of all cattle from abroad, and ordered the killing
OF all animals which shall not recover in three
weeks after their first attack, as the rapid
spread OF the disease during this time Is sure
to result in death. They have also demanded
the separation of all diseased animals from
those which are healthy. Notwithstanding
the rapid spread OF this disease and its
virulence, Professor Wilson states in his
letter to the Secretary of the State Agricultural
Society, that in two cases out OF three which
have fallen under his observation, by careful
nursing, and no other mode oi doctoring, the
animals recovered-whch is very important in
formation. In Wales none Of the cattle have
been attacked, and few or none in Scotland
The disease known as PLe1vOmOaid, which at
since, is under complete medical control, and is
altogether different frcm the Rinderpest though
predisposing cause toEit. The illustrations fur
nished by Prot. Wilson show that The disease is
quite new one, in many Of its features. If
good nursing can cure 1t why may not proper
care be taken to prevent its introduction among
us. The whole subject is one Of immense i'm
portance, and not alone TO all cattle rasers bat
to all consumers OF cattle.-NelC York Express.

"A Catalogue of the Collection of Early
Newspapers and Essayists, formed by the late
John Thomas Hope, and presented to the Bod
leisn Library by the late Rev. Frederick w.
Hope" has been published in England. The
librarian of the Bodleian says:-"Unhappily, the
deficiencies in Mr. Hopes set occur in period
(the seventeenth century, which the Bodleian
is i'll able to Eli up; the librarian would there
fore, ask collectors TO contribute any odd num-
bers of early English newspapers they may
possess with q view to perlectng the special
branch represented by the collection Scattered
through the catalogue are numerous interesting
particulars concerning the editors and con-
tributors to early English newsletters, journals,
and magazines.
"A Paris correspondent, speaking ofProudhon's
method Of literary composition, says his manner
of working was this: 'When an idea struck him,
he would write it out at length, generally in the
shape of newspaper article; then he would put
1t an envelope, and whenever new idea oc-
CURED to him, or he obtained additional infor-
nation, he would write it on piece of paper
and add it TO the envelope. When a sufficient
quantity of material was assembled, he would
write an article for some review or magazine.
This article he would place in a larger envelope,
and add thoughts and information to it until, at
last, the article became book; and the day
after the publication of his book he would place
1t in pasteboard box, and add thoughts and
additional information as he came into posses
sion OF them.r

divided as follows:-Civil service, 9S,OOO,OOO;

the items of these accounts are interesting.
The palaces cost f49, ,000 and 600 900 more go
for the adornment OF the royal parks. Fifty
thousand pounds are set apart for the erection
of a building to contain the natural history col
lectiOns of the British Museum, and a similar
amount for the purchase of site for the en-
laIgement of the National Gallery. The Poor
Law Commissions" OF England, Ireland, and
Scotland entail an expense OF f242, 900; and the
''Secret Service" demands f32,000. Printing
and stationery cost 1000, and the postage Of
letters on the public service in the departments
is fl36, ,000 Education costs 81 300, 900, and the
number of scholars is estimated at a million.

The Grand Match Between PHILADELPHIA
and New York.

In conformity with previous announcement
in this paper, the grand trial Of skill between
the wellknown chess players, Mr.. Reichheim
and Captain Mackenzie, the respective repre-
sentatives of the Philadelphia and New York
amateurs, was commenced on Thursday evening,
at eight O'Clock precisely. The attendance both
of members and visitors at the rooms of the
New York Club was very large, and represented
the elite OF the chess fraternity of this city and
its envlrons, several gentlemen from Philadel-
phia being likewise present
Captain Mackenzie led off with the Ruy
Lopez opening and, after City y-three moves, the
game was abandoned by Professor ReiChheim as
hopelessly drawn.
GAME II.
After a short recess, at about P. M, hostil-
ties were resumed and q second game COM
menced, when Dir. Reichheim, having the first
move, led of in very dashing style with the
attack known as the Evans Gsmbit wherein,
for strategic reasons, on the thirteenth move he
sacrificed his kings knights for adverse kings
bishops pawns. At the usual hour for adjourn
ment, p. NJ. 26 moves had been made oD
either side the attitude OF the contending forces
being highly critical, and the evening session
awaited with corresponding interest by large
and critical gallery OF spectators. Punctually
at 8 o'clock play was again resumed, and not
withstanding desperate struggle, IN the course
of which Mr.. Reicbheim succeeded in recover
ing a portion of the advantage lost, he sue
cumbed TO an inevitable checkmate, occurring
on the iity-fifth move, at $50 o'clock.
GAMB III.
Immediately after the conclusion of Game II,
the pieces were reset for number three; when
Captain Mackenzie once more attacked after the
manner of Ruy Lopez. We lett the scene of
conflict at late hoHr, and although lookers-on
have no right to make remarks upon a game
during its progress, there can be little harm in
stating that all the advantages of position ap-
peared to be in favor of the New York player
