different parts of, the country will he heard of now that 
suspicion is aroused; but there is some satisfaction at present 
in knowing that the disease has not extended beyond the 
limits of the three infected districts of Bridlington, Patring- 
ton, and Pocklington, all in the East Biding of Yorkshire. 
From Hamburg we learn that cattle plague had quite 
unexpectedly broken out afresh in that town. 
In the infected districts around Hamburg the keeping up 
of the cordons has been intrusted to the police, the military 
having been withdrawn in consequence, as was believed, of 
the complete eradication of the disease. The restrictions with 
regard to cattle movement are also relaxed. 
France has interdicted the importation of ctittle from North 
Germany, Bussia, Austria, Hungary, and the Danubian 
provinces, and also all hides and flesh, both by sea and land. 
Cattle coming from any other country excepting Spain and 
Algeria are to be subjected to a careful examination at the 
ports and custom-houses. Any animal found to be affected 
with cattle plague will be killed and buried, and the rest of 
the herd be kept in an isolated place under surveillance. All 
railway trucks and carriages carrying suspected animals will 
be cleaned and disinfected. No compensation is to be allowed 
to the owner of the diseased cattle. 
In several circles in Galicia, Poland, and also in Bukovina, 
cattle plague is still prevailing, and in some the sheep have 
contracted the malady. 
Egypt is also again reported to he suffering from cattle 
plague around Alexandria. In Upper Egypt a most de¬ 
structive malady, probably not the European cattle plague, 
is destroying large herds of cattle. In Esne, near to Thebes, 
it is stated that three fourths of the animals have perished. 
The efforts of the Government to arrest the progress of the 
malady are said to be almost powerless. 
SMALL POX OF SHEEP. 
In our last number we reported that sheep-pox was again on 
the increase in Pomerania and other of the North German pro¬ 
vinces. We have since learned that the malady has broken 
out in four parishes between Malmo and Ystad, towns on 
the coast of Sweden, near to Gottenburg. In consequence 
of this outbreak Denmark has interdicted the importation of 
sheep from Sweden.
