PROHIBITION OF CATTLE INTO NORWAY. 
death of the first pig, the animals had got into the garden and 
rooted up a large quantity of bulbous plants and among them 
many jonquils. The symptoms exhibited by the animals 
differed somewhat from those seen in the previous cases I 
have reported in your journal, which 1 attribute to the plants 
not being in leaf at the time they were eaten. The most 
marked symptoms were obstinate constipation of the bowels, 
associated with cerebral disturbance very analogous to apo- 
plexy. By the free use of aperients, the remaining pigs 
were soon convalescent. 
EXPORTATION OE HORSES AND CATTLE TO CHILI. 
A few days since, eight brood-mares and a stallion, two 
short-horn bulls and a cow, a Hereford bull and heifer, in all 
fourteen animals, were shipped at Southampton by Mons.F.R. 
de la Trehonnais, for the Chilian government. The stallion 
and two of the mares were selected from His Royal Highness 
Prince Albert’s well-known stock of Clydesdale horses at 
Windsor, and will, no doubt, extend to another and distant 
hemisphere the well-deserved fame they have gained in this 
country. T hese animals were put on board the French 
clipper “ Costa Rica,” at Havre, which sailed on the day 
following under the most favorable circumstances of wind 
and weather that could be desired. We hope that the safe 
arrival of this first exportation to Chili will open to English 
breeders a new r and profitable market, which, together with 
Australia and North America, may prove a powerful induce- 
ment to our agriculturists to turn their attention with renewed 
energy and judgment to the breeding of these fine races of 
horses and cattle, the boast and honour of English agricul- 
ture . — Mark Lane Express. 
PROHIBITION OE THE IMPORTATION OE CATTLE INTO 
NORWAY. 
The government of Norway has interdicted for a time the 
importation of English and Scotch cattle into that country, 
in consequence of the continuance of the disease pleuro- 
pneumonia among our herds. We do not imagine that the 
interests of English agriculturists will be seriously affected 
by this measure, nor do we think that the cattle of Norway 
wdll be thereby secured against the malady, because this
