THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE. — It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultutal shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor !ey's food for.: .ttle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we ore forced to: Y.. conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its ownin. nnsic merits, and the xreat demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. Just published, price ls., post free, in an Envelope, for 13 stamps, SELF -PRESERVATION.—A Medical Treatise on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System, and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy siology of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela tions. To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina tion, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the •London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Sze., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and prematur , decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmityor functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

PRICE 4D. ►.7TAMPED, SD• seven pieces, we found, rather to our astonishment, a fine nine-pounder brass gun, belonging to one of our batteries, and cast at Cossipore. The rest of the guns consisted of one brass six-pounder, one brass four-pounder, and four iron six-pounders. Having now routed the enemy, Lord Clyde pro ceeded towards Lucknow. On the 26th we marched to Poorw ah, a long and toilsome march; and on the 27th marched to Burmee, on the Cawnpore and Lucknow road. On the morning of the 28th of November the Commander•in-Chief rode into Lucknow, and the camp was pitched before 12 o'clock on the left bank of the Goomtee, opposite the Chufter Munsil. As it would have been unnecessary to fatigue the troops by a long march of 17 miles, part through large and dusty suburbs and streets, they were halted at the Alumbagh, and encamped there for the day. Lucknow in the space of six mouths has been reconstructed by destruction. I never beheld such a great and such a beneficial change to charm the eye and every sense which can- be affected by ex-, ternal objects. The history of our labours cannot be comprised in a sentence. The improvements of Paris, dux to the vigorous administration and mili tary exigencies of the Emperor are not comparable to the vast alterations made at Lucknow by the simple process of blasting and levelling whole quarters of decrepit miserable houses, opening out grand streets, and uncovering the stately palaces which were blocked up formerly by obscure neigh bourhoods. The only new construction, however, is in its character significant andcomplete. The city is held by a band of embrasured parapet, and armed forts, the magnificent projects of Sir Robert Napier, of which I inclosed you a sketch seven months ago, are now realised, or in the course of being so. The Chief Commissioner, Mr. Montgomery, had a long interview with Lord Clyde, at which the Chief of the Staff was present. It is understood that the civil authorities are well contented with the progress of our arms on this side of the Gogra. Already Sir Hope Grant has caused the rebels to feel the weight of our blows across the river. They had brought down some guns in battery to annoy our working party engaged on the bridge of boat& Sir Hope pushed a force across the river, captured a small brass gun which they had left to cover the retreat of the others, pressed on with his horse artillery and cavalry, cut up 60 or 70 Sepoys and took six more guns before he returned to the bridge, at which he has not since been molested. The force marching up the right bank of the Goomtee had halted to attack a fort called Koloa, and I regret indeed to state that an exceedingly promising officer, ono who had realised many expectations— Captain Scott, of the Madras Engineers —was shot through the head while reconnoitring the place before the attack, and died on the spot. Brigadier Troup's column was expected to be at Seetapore yesterday (29th). Thus the whole line of posts from Bareilly in Rohilcund to Dinapore is gradually sweeping onwards and onwards, and driving the enemy towards Buraech, where they must either fight, submit, or perish in the Terai.

London : SMith, Elder, and Co., 65, CornhilL OPERATIONS IN OUIJE (From the Time? Correspondent.) HEAD-QUARTERS, BRITISH ARMY. LUCKNOW, Nov. 29. My last communication, if I recollect aright, bronght the narrative of events occurringrnme diately around us up to the evacuatiorliunker pore. The escape of Bainie Madhoes4rith his sepoys and guns was, no doubt, a matter of mortification to Lord Clyde, but it was one which he could only have prevented by direct disobedience of the in structions of Government, and by an assault on the place before the civil powers had had time to exer cise their function. And, once for all, let me re cord my humble opinion that the junction of the civil and military executive in military operations i,s disadvantageous to the public service. It is an old story ; it is the old story over and over again., Let the arguments by which a sort of mixed admi nistration of this kind is justified be as plausible as may be, the facts are against the result. In France, in Holland, and elsewhere—in English armies, in American armies, the principle has been tried and has been found mischievous. But it will be said, with justice, that our position in Oude is anomalous. We are not making a war of aggression or defence, we are not conquering fresh territories; our force is employed in rooting out rebellion and in establishing the civil power. The authority of Government is delegated to its civil servants, Who have power to collect revenue, to give and destroy titles, to determine political turpitude or innocence, to settle the country, to treat with rebels, to decide the Bourse of our march, the direction of our efforts, and who fiave the high authority to say, " Here shall your arms be staid," or to " cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war." Such powers, however, exercised by men indepen dent of the ommander in Chief of an army in the field, are prejudicial to the success of armies. Major Barrow, the- commissioner at head-quarters, is a soldier, and no one knows better than he the evils which result from the hampering the free will of a general. He is a man of ability, and of clear and liberal views, but he is bound to carry out the orders of his Government, and the Commander in Chief is, in some sense, bound to obey Major Bar row. We come before a position held by a rebel chief, among whose followers are thousands of mutinous and many murderous Sepoys. Two British officers halt before the place with powerful corps, well-appointed with cavalry and guns. In a few hours after their arrival our guns would have been in position and our troops have been in readi ness for the assault. " Stay your hands, my lord, till I have ascertained, in compliance with the express directions of Government, that this chief is aware of the terms of the proclamation, and is acquainted with the terms which we are em powered at once to offer to him." Lord Clyde obeys. He has not the means of investing the place. The enemy makes use of the delay to go off by night, to bury or to carry off their guns. The Indian papers are in frenzies of bad English, grief, despair, and indignation. The result is cer tainly to be deplored, even though we do gain the stronghold without bloodshed, because the enemy . escape to work fresh mischief; but, in reality, only one did so escape, and he has been followed up, driven out of his stronghold, and hunted across his own territory. The delay which took place may have averted a loss of men from us ; it has also deprived us of the prestige of a sanguinary victory ; but, on the whole, great as the evil is, I do not see how the junction of the civil and military authority is to be avoided in Oude. All I say is that no blame should be attached to the military officer if his hands are stayed by orders which he is bound to respect. The proclamation and the amnesty would have been an insult to common sense and humanity, and powerful weapons in the hands of those who accuse us of deceit and perfidy, if we did not take care to fulfil their promises in letter and in spirit. Having placed a small force in the fort of Shun kerpore, the Commander-in-Chief's column started from its camp at Peechwarra, 24- miles from Shun kerpore, at eight o'clock on the night of the 18th. On the morning of the 23d, still trending south and westwards, we made a march of 17 miles to Bugwunt Nugger, eight miles from Dhondia Kera, on the banks of the Ganges. Here we saw Evelegh's tents on our right, and Lord Clyde rode across to his camp, and held a long conference with him and the chief of the staff; Sir W. Mansfield. The men of the 20th and 23d, as they recognised the General, turned out and gave him the Gene ral's best reward—a hearty cheer. Our tents were pitched on Evelegh's left flank, the column being nominally under the orders of Colonel Jones, of the Carabineers. At night a strong patrol of 400 in fantry, 2 guns, and a body of cavalry was pushed close up to the enemy's position, which was about seven miles in, our front, with orders to watch every movement most strictly. The men, who had marched 61 miles in 60 hours, were in the highest spirits. At the usual inevitable hour before dawli on the 24th our bugles sounded the reveille along the line, mingling with the trumpets of the cavalry and artillery and the tom-toms of our rough friends of the Towanna Horse and Irregulars. By the latest information, which came from a spy who had been at Buxar Ghat as late as 10 o'clock last night, it appeared that the enemy were still in their old posi tion, and that they mustered 7,500 horse and foot, and had with them eight guns. The stories of our spies were all full of valorous resolves. Bainie Madhoo, who by the ornature of his house at Shun kerpore, would appear to be a very strict or loose Hindoo, had, it was said, executed a solemn, and certainly a lugubrious ceremonial, which, generally speaking, one would not suppose to be conducive to hard fighting. He was pleased to imagine himself dead, and had gone through all the forms and rites which would have been necessary, honourable, or proper had he been really in that uninteresting con dition. Then he had drunk the water of the Ganges in quantities, and his followers had followed his example. And so, on those and other grounds, it was resolved he must fight, and the resolution was most satisfactory to those who had to fight him. At last the red rich light of day advances higher andhigher ; the tops of the tents, the backs and heads of elephants, the necks of camels warm up in the glow and steal into precise outline ; but below the horizontal lines of light all is darkness, save the morning camp-fires. Around each one of these thousand fires is assembled a group, each one of which is Rembrandt justified. Shivering and miserable are these myriad camp-followers; the sounds of the rattling catarrhs, produced by sleep ing out these dewy:nights in very light nightdresses, roll all round one. To each group the fire is the centre of light and animation. See how eagerly they pile up the twigs and dry grass, and grasp the flames in their very fingers, chafing their hands into sense, their black faces just visible under the folds of their cotton robes, and their legs shining like those of bronze statues in the light. They do not turn- for- a moment to cast a glance on the squadron of horse which is whirling just past them to form up the advance guaid. What care they who is master of India as long as they can get warm and have a rupee for their rice P Bainie Madhoo is to them nobody—he represents no principle—he in spires no enthusiasm—he touches no chord in those frigid spirits ; but do not think, Feringhee, that you are therefore beloved, or that Bainie Madhoo's vic tory over your battalions in the fight to come would not be welcome to your followers. No doubt in that motley flame-checkered multitude there are now spies and active emissaries of the Hindoo chief ; but here comes one of our own. A gray-bearded, keen eyed old man, erect and soldierly, rides quietly down the main street to Major Barrow's tent. He has ridden straight from the camp of the enemy ; he has been talkivg with the sepoys, and he heard them discussing our arrival and their prospects. This old Soubadar is a cool and daring man ; he is playin g his life against a rich reward. " Well," he says, the sepoys don't know what to do. They are afraid to lay down their arms; they do not believe their lives will be spared. But a party are still disposed to do so ; others say they will fight till they die." Lord Clyde is mounted. Before he leaves the street he gives Captain Fitzgerald and Lieutenant Goldsworthy, the excellent commissariat officers of the force, directions for the safety of the camp. He will not permit them to hazard their lives by coming with him, and it is only the honest truth to shy that the Commander-in-Chief would be deprived of the most valuable aid, and would, indeed, suffer a loss all but irreparable, were Cap tain Fitzgerald to be removed from the charge of the British army in Oude. Our advance was on two parallel lines, connected in front by a line of skirmishers in communication along the front of both columns. That on the left, led by the Commander-in-Chief, consisting of a squadron of her Majesty's 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabineers), and a squadron of the 6th Madras Light Cavalry, four guns of Gordon's Field Battery, her Majesty's sth Fusiliers, about 400 strong, the - Belooch Battalion, 700 strong, and 100 of her Ma jesty's 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers. The column on the right, under Colonel Evelegh, consisted of 200 of her Majesty's 20th Regiment, 250 of her Majesty's 80th Regiment, and a battalion of Oude police, 500 strong, their flank being covered by four guns once." of Bruce's troop, B. H. A., and - 1 ,00 of the Ist Sikh Irregular Cavalry. Presently we come to our grand patrol of the night before, 200 of the 23d Regiment, about the same strength of natives, cavalry detachment, and two of Bruce's guns. . They report that during the night the enemy's cavalry and infantry approached their pickets, fired on them, using at the same time the most opprobrious epithets, and, as the corn was very high and the country close, the patrol fell back about a mile and a-half to more .open ground, hav ing first seen the enemy to the rear by the fire of a small party of sharpshooters. According to them, the enemy were out in great force in our front, and they had seen them an hour before. Indeed, at the time a picket of their Sowars was visible under a tope. on our right. Here were groves of trees affording shade, and so a general halt took place for about half an hour or more. Major Barrow had resolved to give the rebel chief one more chance. The Soubadar had volunteered to go with a letter or message to the effect that if Bainie Madhoo and his followers came out and laid down their arms they would be treated with leniency, as far as their case might permit the Government to exercise its prerogative of mercy. The utmost specific promise that could be held out to Bainie Madhoo was that he should not be sent of India. This proposjtion was founded on the information brought by the Soubadar respecting the disposition of the sepoys when they were made acquainted with Major Bar row's letter on the previous evening, and it was intimated that only half-an-hour would be allowed for a reply. We were now within three miles of the enemy's position, and the, column's of dust from our march must have been visible to their advanced posts. The time given had rpn by. " Give orders to the columns to advance." " Skirmishers to the front." Away went the Carabineers, saddle deep in the corn, the Belooches on the left, and on their right the 23d, in skirmishing order—the rest of the troops in the disposition already indicated. As we advanced the country became more densely wooded, and the arable lands more cultivated. The movement was necessarily not very rapid. Our troops are just emerging from the topes and cates, and in their front the country is more open for a few hundred yards up to a mass of low jungle, in front of the belt of trees. Some 20 or 30 puffs of white smoke suddenly dot the green of the jungle. The enemy are firing on our cavalry vedettes. Some of the Carabineers reply, and then, by command, fall back towards the front, with capering horses, excited by the fire, and form on the flanks. Lord Clyde, who is leading the infantry skirmishers, rides forward. The Belooches, the 23d, and the long . line of infantry skirmishers double towards the jungle, and as they advance the line of a low intrenchment is made manifest by a smart fire. • " Those are sepoys inside the ditch—the scoundrels!" exclaims an Indian officer. The balls whistle sharply enough around the heads of the advance, and the soft sandy soil of the field is knocked up in all directions in little cloudy jets where the bullets strike. There is one solitary rising ground in this field, whither Lord Clyde, mounted on his tall white horse, dashes at once, and up on its top he at once gets, in order to recon noitre the enemy's position. He instantly receives a volley from the hidden enemy, of which he ap pears as conscious as if it were fired at Aldershot. But our skirmishers have advanced to the wall of the field, and their rifles soon abate the zeal of the sepoys in the trench. " Bring up the guns !" to one aide-de-camp. " Go to Colonel Evelegh, sir, and tell him to bring forward his right," to another. Now is the time to see the old soldier in his element; every sense alive, keen, energetic,' self-reliant, calm, and courteous. He directs every movement, and points out the ground for the "guns to take. We unlimber.. Bang ! bang ! roar the enemy's guns in anticipation, and the round shot,' flying over the heads of the advance with a harsh roar, strike into the earth behind. The answer ing voices are not long delayed. Gordon's guns are opened on the tiny lines of smoke and on the great puffs from the batteries, " Press on the advance." The Chief gallops on to the skirmishers. The guns limber up. The musketry is sharp on our right, mingled with the heavy reports of artillery. Clouds of dust rise near the bank of the river. " They are flying ! Up with the cavalry ! The guns to the front." Away in one great wave flash the Carabineers to our left, where we can see the enemy streaming down by the river banks towards the south. It is a dust storm. In a few moments they are lost in the dense cloud which rises from their horses' hoofs. Our men rush on through the jungle ; it is deserted by all but dead or dying men —"Double! double! bring up the infantry at In a few minutes more we are on the very banks of the river, which slope down sharply to the water. Where are the enemy ? Stand on the beach at low water and see how far away a sort of rippling and wavering outline marks the limit of the sands ; it will almost persuade you that it moves and lives. So we behold a shifting outline on the horizon on our right. It is the enemy, flying through the island rushes. " Horse artillery and cavalry, after them." Round come Bruce's guns—down the bank they go—slap through the narrow ford, throwing tiny cascades from their wheels. Round came the storm of cavalry, native horse and a troop of Carabineers. " Keep your men with the guns, sir, and on no account leave them," is the parting order of the Commander-in-Chief to the officer before they dash into the ford. To the commander of the native cavalry his orders are different. " You are to stick to them to the last ; follow them close ; don't give up the pursuit till to-morrow !" Away they go owl' the sand, through the bushes and tall grass, and soon they, too, are lost in clouds cf dust. The river spreads before us a wide expanse of sand, threaded by narrow streams at this side, with a wider current at the opposite side, where we can make out our cavalry from Futtehpore riding to in tercept the fugitives who may escape by swimming. Close to us there is a long strip of sand covered with long grass and jungle, which seems to extend islandwise for miles up the river. The enemy have fled in that direction. We see their tumbrils on fire, or deserted. Their waggons are stuck fast in the quicksands. It is the work of a minute to plunder them. The Commander-in-Chief halts on the bank of the river, and with the Chief of the Staff makes arrangements for the pursuit and for the occupation of the place. One column on the right carried Dhondia Kera just as we reached Buxarglat, and the enemy fled on both flanks, aided by the tremendous ravines in escaping pur suit. The infantry of Evelegh's column, dtach ments of her Majesty's 20th, 23d, and 80th Regi ments, march:in quarter-distance column, and their right flank covered by two of Bruce's guns, the Ist Sikh Irregulars, under Captain Jones. On the second advance the 20th Regiment deployed and moved with extended order, with the 80th on the right and the 23d on the left in support. They thus made way through the corn and thickly-wooded country till they had approached within a mile and a half of the river. Here a body of 400 or 500 cavalry, consisting principally, it is said, of the 2d Cavalry, who were the chief actors in the Cawn pore mutiny, appeared on their right front. Col. Evelegh at once brought up the disposable guns of Bruce's troop, supported by cavalry, and a few rounds sent them to the right about, nor were they any more seen in the field. The infantry continued to advance, and wore close up to the edge of the jungle, when they. were suddenly made aware of the proximity of the enemy by discharges of grape and a sharp fire of musketry, all too high. The 20th pressed on smartly, and fought their way through the jungle, while the 80th cleared the ground before them up to the very banks of the Ganges. That immediately over the river in their front was steep, and the water above the ford was beyond one's depth. At this momenta body of the enemy, cut off from the ford below, endeavoured to escape to the right across the line of advance. They were about 500 strong, and the fugitives from our advance were mixed up with them. The moment the men saw them they gave a loud cheer, dashed at the broken mass with the bayonet, and either drove them into the river where most of them were drowned, or killed them in the jungle, in various parts of which more than 250 dead were counted. The 20th took the Queen's colour of the 52d B. N. 1., which was also one of the Cawn pore regiments. It is thought that many of the Sepoys threw themselves into the Ganges to secure immortality ; at least they were very leisurely in their retreat through the water. A few who did not like immortality just at the time struggled to get away, and some succeeded. As I was not pre sent at the right, I know less of what took place there than of the left. Bruce's guns and cavalry followed for ten miles on the right. The enemy were quite done up, but so were our horses and men, and . we did not kill more than fifty or sixty of them on that side. The sepoys were seen stagger ing into sates, unable to load their muskets, and seven elephants were perceived in the distance, but they could not be overtaken. On the left the Carabineers cut up about fifty sepoys, but the ravines effectually checked the advance of the guns, and the men were recalled by Major Norman. The loss of the enemy is estimated at 600 to 650. Among the captured ordnance, which numbered NEW WORK ON STRICTURE.

(From the New York Tribunal, Dee. 11.) Throughout the whole of last week it was gene rally understood by announcement that Mr. A. H. Purdy, 'proprietor of the National Theatre, in Chatham-street, had offered its use for the purpose of divine service on Sunday evenings. The Rev. E. D. Hiscox, D.D., of the' Stanton-street baptist church, was announced to preach the opening sermon, and the admission was emphatically stated to be free, and the public were invited to attend. Accordingly, at about 7 o'clock p.m., on Sunday, the theatre was completely filled with what certainly appeared to be an audience which would serve the purpose of, establishing a bold, though not very grand contrast with the very fashionable congrega tion which was assembled at the Academy of Music. - • Free admission was an invitation to enter the National Theatre which the regular patrons of that institution were exceedingly anxious to accept. The pit was filled to overflowing with boys, and as many more occupied places in the dress, family, and upperircles. There was a sprinkling of respectably dressed persons, not a few of whom seemed to enjoy the fun which was being made by the boys. As our reporter..entered the first thing which he heard was the gratuitous whistlingof a number of boys. Some were betting upon the side of the stage from which the " parson" would make his appearance. One boy asked another in a very loud voice why he had no shirt, which question received the most peremptory response, " Button up, will you ?" Another boy upbraided his neighbour for having a dirty shirt. Still another demanded " that sixpence" which he loaned Dan on Saturday night. Another, " Hi, Jack, come over here, will you ?" responded to by " Hallo, Jim, make room." - Shortly before the entrance of the preacher, loud whistling and beating of the feet seemed to express anxiety for the opening of the exercises. A number of the boys who exhibited great, restlessness were kept in check by several police officers who were dis tributed over the pit. The congregation consisted mainly of newsboys, shoe-blacks, park-loungers, shoulder hitters, pickpockets, bullies, together with Mr. A. H. Purdy, Esq., and a number of respect able Christians, who had to occupy such seats as they could procure, regardless of their proximity to certain rather repulsive-looking individuals. The proscenium boxes were filled with ladies and gen t' .emen. At half-past 7 o'clock the Rev. Dr. Hiscox, ac companied by a number of friends, entered upon the stage from the north side. He was greeted by the loud plaudits of the multitude. A substantial hurrah ? a multiplicity of hi ! hi's! and repeated requests of hats off! constituted the warm recep_ tion of the minister. W.Va. Dr. Hiscom stood up, and amid the commotion which prevailed showed that he was about to speak, and for a moment profound silence gave him an opportunity to beheard,when he said :—My friends, in the name of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, our Saviour and everlasting friend, I come to speak to you to-night. I come to tell of Jesus, of what he has done for us all. These may be strange things to speak from this stage and strange sounds to hear within these walls, but he trusted in God that strange as they might be, it would not be in vain. He read the hymn commencing— " Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove," . _ which was sung by a choir of gentlemen from the Stanton-street Baptist Church, who were on the stage, many of the congregation uniting. As the singing was announced, a number of the boys , shouted, " Let us have it." After singing, a part of the 15th chapter of John was read• and briefly explained. At its conclusion the boys cheered lus tily. At this point Capt. Walling, of the detective police, rose and addressed the boys, desiring them to show the ladies and gentlemen who were pre sent that they could behave in a place of Divine service as well as boys in any other part of the city. This was received by a somewhat subdued attempt to cheer. Dr. Hiscox then preached from the fol- lowing" text : " This is a faithful saying and worthy of all ac ceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners."-1 Timothy, chap. i., ver. 15. The Rev. Doctor then proceeded to deliver a brief and well adapted sermon, premising that there had been great sayings spread out on the page of history, but never and nowhere had there been stated so great a truth—so great a saying as this. He called their attention to the statement itself. He asked how often men had been seen to come down from their high estate, their palaces and their luxuries, and sacrificing all, become poor, in order to elevate, and comfort, and cheer the poor and dis consolate? yet Jesus Christ had done this. Ist. Christ came into the world. 2d. He came to save sinners. Before entering upon the consideration of the second part of the subject, the choir sung an other verse, which was followed by deafening ap plause, and the rev. doctor proceeded to his next topic-"-:-Its faithfulness. The word faithful was de fined, and the following sub-heads of discourse dwelt upon :-1. It is a saying which is safe to be, believed. 2. It is worthy to be believed. 3. It is needed. The next head of discourse was that this saying' was worthy of acceptation; because, first, it is designed for all; second, adapted to all; and, third, needed by all. He then concluded by a brief appeal to all present to take heed to the offer of salvation, and without delay to accept it with all its terms and its comforts. A verse was sung, " Hear, 0 sinner, mercy hails you." Prayer was then offered, in the course of which the proprietor, the actors, and the frequent patrons of the theatre were duly remembered. The choir sung a hymn commencing, " All hail the power of Jesus' name." Dr. Hiscox announced service for next Sunday evening, pronounced the benediction, and the tumultuous audience dispersed. Captain De Camp ordered the officers to be at the doors, and see that the boys Deft the place quietly, - which had the de sired effect. It was certainly a labour of love which Dr. Hiscox performed last evening, for no man could have spoken under more discouraging circum stances. EQUITY.

DARING BURGLARY AT CIIATILAM. — At an early eg com mitted at the residence of Mr. J. military storekeeper, hour on Saturday morning last a daring burglary was Gun-wharf, Chatham, the burglars being, it is conjectured, e al e th °l 4h t sthagea circumstancen. in prison there. It is a remarkable that, a party of convicts reeentlyr posted • • there are a number of sentries in various parts of the Gun-wharf, the bur g lars co n trivedto obtain an entrance into the premises without having been perceived. After entering the house by means of on e o f t h e downstair win dows, the sh utters .of which were not properly secured, they proc eeded at once to the storekeeper's office, at the me furt h e r end of the building, their object being, it is sup," posed, to secure a large suns of money, about £BOO, together with about £lOO worth of plate, which was believed tole deposited in the office. The greatest violence was used by the burglars to effect an entranbe into the office, two doors leading to which were completely smashed in by means of crowbars, or some other equally heavy instruments. Once in the office, every drawer and desk were ransacked, but a large iron safe defied the utmost efforts of the burglars to break it open. After spending some time in the office they decamped, taking with them a small bag of silver and a plated 'candlestick ; and from the precipitancy in which they appear to have left, they evidently fancied themselves over-. heard. As the gates leading to the gun-wharf are always kept closed at night, the burglars must have obtained an entrance on the wharf by scaling the boundary wall near Chatham-church, several of the instruments used by bur glars being found the next morning in the churchyard. Ono of the ,domestics in the house heard a noise during the time the burglars 'were there, but being under the impression that it was tho drums at the barracks, she paid no agent Oil to the circumstance. . ) DR. LIVINGSTONE'S EXPEDITION. The following letters have just been received by a gentleman in Glasgow from Dr. Livingstone : " Steam Launch Ma-Robert, River Zambesi, June 23, 1858. " My dear Sir,—By the departure of the colonial vessel Pearl I am enabled to communicate with my friends at home by the overland India route, and I have much pleasure in informing you that we have been very clearly favoured with weather ever since we left Liverpool. I feel thankful for the mercy which has watched over us, for, with the weight on our deck, a gale would have wrought a fearful stramash. I was obliged to part with Mrs. Living stone and Oswell at the Cape, but we there met Mr. and Mrs. Moffatt from Kuruman, and she will go with them thither, and afterwards join me by the overland way beyond that. This we felt to be a trial, but now see it was for the best, for the Por tuguese and natives are at war, and cannot pass up the river. You are aware that I did not see the lower portien of the Zambesi, but let it at Mazao, a place 70 miles from its mouth. This lower part had to be all explored, and that took up about a month, from the number of mouths it posseses. We found a very good bar anti liuiLvur nt th.. river nr branch by which we entered. It is called Kongene, and has ten mouths, if I may so call them, sucking water by them out of the main stream. One of these is a natural canal, five miles long, through which we entered the Zambesi. Our ship, the Pearl, was a screw, and would not back readily, and was quite too deep for exploring. We were, moreover, hampered by very stringent orders not to run any risk of detaining her in the river, but rather land our goods on an island and send her off. This we have done, though with a paddle steamer of five or six feet draught we could have gone to Tete. We are below Mazaro, and next week will go to Tete, where my men are waiting for me. It is said that many of them have died of smallpox, a disease unknown in their own country; but the rest have purchased pigs, goats, and poultry with their earnings, and refuse either to slaughter or sell them till I come. I went up to Mazaro in the Ma-Robert, and encountered the enemy, consisting of 200 well-armed natives (with Tower muskets). We approached them slowly, and, when within hail, I called out that we were English, and . pointed to the English ensign. They gave a shout of joy, and we soon saw them running down with bananas for sale. We mean to keep free of the quarrel on both the native and Portuguese sides, and get away beyond them as soon as possible. My brother found very good cotton in the delta ; but all complain that wars ruin their cultivation. Of the river I can now speak with confidence, as I had the company of three naval officers. It is generally from 1,000 to 2,000 yards wide; but when it has islands it spreads out to two and a half or three miles. These arc the worst parts ;in the narrower parts we have from three to seven fathoms. In these broad parts a channel of two or two and a half fathoms can be found only by searching. One of my friends remarked it was mnre like an inland sea than a river. I shall adhere to the opinion I have all along expressed, that a vessel drawing from four to six feet water could run upon it during seven or eight months of the year with ease. We all enjoy good health, no case of fever having ap peared among us, and we have been in the delta five weeks. But this I know beforehand to be the healthy season, or winter, and selected health in 'reference to a full river.—l am, &c., " DAVID LIVINGSTONE." "'fete, Sept. 14, 1858. "My dear Sir,—l wrote you a long letter by the Pearl, but, unfortunately, by some mistake it was unsent, so I have now to tell you that we spent some time getting a proper entrance into the Zambesi, as the main entrance seemed unsafe. We entered by a side branch, and having been about a month exploring the delta, and the river falling fast, it was resolved to land all our goods on an island, and carry them , up by successive trips in our small steam launch. This we have been doing as fast as we could. This you are aware of probably ere this, and possibly also of the very favourable opinion respecting the value of the river expressed by the two naval officers who accompanied me. I see it now several feet lower than they did, and as it is spread out in many places below Lupata to from one to three miles in width, you may ,be sure we have difficulties in finding the deep channel. Formerly I believed, from what the Portuguese told me, that this river was navigable during six or eight mouths in the year. I now believe that it could be navigated with one of the 30. inch steamers ten months, if not the whole year. When we got to Lupata, where the river is no longer divided into many channels, our difficulties in navigation ended. Here the gentlemen at once yielded to my sugges tion, and dug out a ton and a half of coals, the very first ever taken out of the earth in this country. Mr. Rae, a Glasgowegian, pronounces them to be good, and promising better, as they arc got from the surface in the banks of the Muatoze,when they have been exposed to the action of floods and atmo sphere for ages. There is au immense coalfield here, and many of the scams crop out. With coal and the best iron ore in abundance, - surely Africa will not always be the trodden•down nation it has been. Our vessel was the first that ever steamed at Tete, and we were visited as if we had been another Le viathan. The country was in a state of war, and no Portuguese durst pass, but we did, our passport being the English name. This is against our pro spects, for everything stands still, or goes bac t k, when war rages. We had gone from the Por u guese to the native side, from time to time, unmo lested,being equally friendly to both parties. Many of the officers wished to accep t m y mediation, and the rebels all did, but the Governor would not gi ve in. A decisive blow is to be struck soon, but the rebels being mostly runaway slaves, they will hold out. Two who acted as pilots on board once wanted me to buy them, to get out of the scrape. It is sad to see so fine a country in this state. We meet some very fine cotton ro growing wild whever it has once - - - ::ets ice. per. ans Dted ;o 21 !icy o of 15f 1 74 171 35 35 20 40 40 1181 40 41 35 49 491_ 521 40i 22 22 1 52f 53 I
