NEW ORDERS TN COUNCIL. 
CONTAGIOUS AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES AMONG 
ANIMALS. 
A SUPPLEMENT to the London Gazette^ published last 
ui^ht, contains a series of important Orders in Council 
relative to the contagious and infectious diseases amongst 
animals. The first order simply revokes all previous orders 
dating from November 22, 1866, to May 6, 1869. The 
second is as follows : 
GENERAL ORDER OF COUNCIL RELATIVE TO CONTA- 
GIOUS AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES AMONG ANIMALS. 
At the Council Chamber, Whitehall, the 10th day of August, 
1869; by the Lords of Her Majesty’s Most Honorable Privy 
Council. Present: Lord President, Lord Privy Seal, Lord North¬

further provisions for better preventing the introduction or spread¬

Britain. 
Now, therefore, the lords and others of Her Majesty’s most 
Honorable Privy Council, by virtue and in exercise of the powers in 
them vested under the Act of 1869, and of every other power 
enabling them in this behalf to order, and it is hereby ordered as
