The following cable appears in the Globe this morning: London, May 15.—Hanlan, Ward and Davis have been in Scotland enjoy- ing themselves, but they will return to New- castle on Monday.

Elliott is trying to imitate Hanlan’s style of stroke, slide and all. Itis generally thought lessening his chance by this, as itis impossible to learn a new system of rowing in a month. Critics are cramming Elliott with advice, good, bad and indifferent, and he will be glad when the affair is over.

GREAT BRITAIN, Lonpon, May 16.

In the House of Commons the Government contradicted the statement of Prof. Williams, that American cattle are not suffering from pleuro-pnenmonia ; hence the order for com- pulsory slaughter has not been rescinded.

The steamers ‘‘Minnesota” and ‘‘Hindope”’ have arrived at Liverpool from Boston, with upwards of one thousand three hundred pigs. The Government Inspector discovered the serious presence of typhoid fever among the

animals, and the whole of the cargoes were |

ordered to slaughtered in ten days. The ar- rangements for slaughtering are extremely bad, and great expense will beincurred. Altogether three thousand five hundred pigs have been similarly condemned on acccunt of typhoid fever since the Ist inst. ‘The loss to the im- porters is very serious.
