FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. 
During the past month very little change has taken place 
with regard to the prevalence of the foot and mouth disease ; 
but upon the whole the malady is rather more rife — a slight 
increase being reported both in the centres of the infection 
and number of fresh outbreaks. 
Our information from the Continent is to the effect that 
the disease prevails in many parts of Southern Europe, and 
in some countries in which it is comparatively rare. Por- 
tugal is suffering from the malady ; and two or three cargoes 
of infected cattle have been imported from that country, which 
were dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the 
Orders of Council. 
In South America the disease is on the decline. The 
Republic of Uruguay is reported to be free of it, and the 
Province of Coquimbo, Chili, to contain but few cases, and 
these of a mild character.
