last the committee again called his at

to give any satisfactory assurance, writ

his original contract in good faith. He
explicitly told the committee that "he

now had; that control he never would
relinquish, so help him -"

CATTLE DISEASE IN CONNECTICUT.-A
singular disease among cattle has made
its appearance in Fairfield county, Conn.
The animals sickened suddenly and
died within thirty-six hours after they
were attacked. Upon opening it was
found that the brains and shoulders of
the cattle were mortified, emitting a
stencil almost unable to be borne. The
disease is said to look much like the
rinderpest.

BRrTIsH INDIGNATION. 1t is to be in
ferred that the British people do not APP
prove the conduct Of their Admiral in
the Valparaiso affair, as their papers and
public speakers are extremely silent re-
garding his share Of the proceedings
On the contrary, Com. Rogers comes in
for general praise. An Indignation meet
ing was held in Liverpool on the 10Th,
at which the Spaniards were vehemently
denounced, and Com. Rogers was
thanked. The following resolution was
unanimously adopted
"That this meeting cannot separate
without expressing their gratitude to
Commodore Rogers of the United States
Navy, for his determined and unwearled
exertions to avert the bombardment Of
Valparaiso; and also for his anxious de-
sire to effect a peaceful solution OF the
difficulties between Spain and Chill, tc
whom he suggested compromise which
reflects the highest credit upon his judg
ment and sagacity; and lastly, wher
that failed, for his generous offer OF op
posing force to prevent the lombard
ment Of the town, if the support OF the
British Admiral could be secured"

reused the people Of the vicinity into
action. They knew, from long expert
ence, that they could obtain no redress
through the tardy processes of the law,
against the men who had for so long a
time successfully resisted its action, and
they resolved to take the law into their
own hands, and administer punishment
to the offenders. Disgusting themselves
efiectually, they went at night to the
house of the ringleaders, set fire TO the

wounded another severely, and finally

in Two hours little bat ashes remained

keep the flames from spreading; and
thanks to the soaking rain Of Sunday

thoroughly saturated, 50 that no other
building was destroyed, except the Ham
ilton Bath House, just across Putnam
street. Much Of the furniture Of Con-

HAVE WE FENIAEs AMONG Us II
Startling Discorry.-Under this mead the
St. Adams Messenger Of Tuesday, says
Ten boxes and one barrel containing
ordnance camp and garrison eqHjpage,
arrived at the depot from the south to-
day, consigned to Peter Walden, st. Al
bans. Their contents were discovered,
and boxes aud barrel were seized BY the
U, S. authorities and will be sent 10
Burlington. Several similar lots, marked
"crockery, glass ware" and consigned
to the same person, have been previously
received at the depot and delivered
Mr.. Walden, being questioned concern
ing the disposition Of these previous
shipments, declines giving any infOrma-
ton whatever. The arrival OF several
lots Of heavy freights addressed to Mr..
w. has excited no suspicion, as ne is
known as the foreman of the gas works
lately destroyed by fire, and it would
naturally be presumed-if any one pre-
sumed anything about it-that they
were the machinery and fixtures neces-
sary for repairing damages. In this
view, the selection Of Mr.. W. for con-
singee Of the arms and implements ofwar
for the "Finnegans" in this district, was
admirably planned. and has been quite
successful in its results, and had not the
authorities at this point been instructed
to be on the watch foe just such ship
ments, they might have been continued
indefinitely.
This seizure has more significance
when taken into connection with a pre-
vious seizure at Rouse's Point, mentioned
elsewhere, and the Feniaa movement
from Cleveland, mentioned 10 our tee

KIDNAPPING AND ARSON.

LAST summer one of the constables
Of Madison county had been very active
in tracing out their operations, and
they determined to give him lesson.
They procured warrant from a justice,
supposed to be devoted to their inter-
ests, who deputed two of the gang to
convey him to Jail, as special constables.
It was not convenient for them (such at
least was the pretense) to convey him 10
prison Immediately so they were tax
ing him to their own home, TO be kept
there until it should suit their purpose
to carry him to the Jail. Their route
Law through the village Of Hamilton,
where the constable was well known,
and when the citizens saw him in the
custody Of two members OF the Togues'
gang, instead of they being in his, it
awakened a very lively curiosity IN
their minds. On being Intercepted,
they produced the warrant, which APP
psared regular on its face, and the cit
liens did not attempt to resist it but
they insisted that the prisoner should
be taken directly to the Jail, or other
wise they would forcibly release him
Finding that they were in earnest, the
special constables finally yielded the
point, and carried him to the jail. Five
citizens of Hamilton made themselye:
