The Solicitor having read the heads of the bill, The CHAIRMAN stated that before putting the resolution approving the bill he must be allowed to make a few observations with reference to the cir cular issued by Mr. Locke and other gentlemen soliciting proxies against the bill. He felt himself bound in honour and the true interests of the com pany to uphold the agreement entered into with the South-Western Company, and he could not but feel that they would materially jeopardise the inte rests of this company were the shareholders to adopt the views of Mr. Locke and his friends. He admitted that Mr. Locke was perfectly justified in the course he had taken, he having all through opposed the agreement ; but he considered those who voted for the agreement on the 29th of Nov. and the 31st March, as well as those who stopped away from the meetings and allowed the resolu tions to be passed, were bound to uphold the deci sion then come to. He would remind them that this bill did not bind them to any special arrange ment with the South-Western Company, but only authorised them to enter into some arrangement, which, if entered into would have to come before them for consideration at another meeting. The only difference was this, that whereas it required a majority consisting of three-fourths of the share holders voting to sanction the bill, a majority of three-fifths would be sufficient to ratify the ar rangement ; and he put it to Mr. Locke whether it was worth while, for the sake of the trifling advantage it would give the proprietors, thus to throw out the bill, and thereby break off their arrangements with the South-Western Company. He confessed that he looked with alarm on any proceeding which should have such an effect ; and the Brighton and South-Western Companies hav ing quarrelled in consequence of this arrangement, the latter company might seize the opportunity of treating with them and renewing their arrange ments with the Brighton Company. When their debentures were renewed upon more favourable terms than the interest they bore at present, as they would be when they were ccnnected with the AN EXPERIENCED BURGLAR. Luis Peter Nicolal Ernst, a native of Elsinore, was brought before the borough magistrates at Leeds on Saturday last, having been remanded from a previous day, charged with committing a burglary at the residence of the Rev. W. Williamson, incumbent of Headingley, near Leeds, and was committed for trial at the next Yorkshire assizes. On the night of the 30th ult. an entrance was effected into the prosecutor's house through the drawing-room window, and a gold watch, a quantity of silver plate, and other articles, worth between .E3O and £4O, were stolen. The prisoner was apprehended a few days after wards at Liverpool, and he admitted having com mitted the robbery. He appears to be a very daring character. He was convicted of burglary at Gloucester in 1858; at Worcester assizes he was ordered to be imprisoned for two years ; he was convicted at the Glocester assizes, still more recently ; and since his release he has been scouring the country. He is " wanted" at Birkenhead for a desperate burglary. He broke into a blacksmith's house at Bramham, Rear Leeds, on the 14th inst., and some of that property was found upon him when apprehended at Liverpool. On the 22d of March he assisted in a burglary at Blackmoor, near Leeds, in the house of Mr. Thomas Shires, farmer. On the day previous he was at Manor Heath, near Halifax, inspecting the plate basket of Mr. John Crossley. He was at Scalby, near Scarborough, on the 11th of March, and will be prosecuted for a robbery there ; and on the 30th ult. he was at the Headingly parsonage, near Leeds, where hevom mated the burglary above mentioned. Such is the web which has at present been unravelled by the Leeds police, and it is not yet known how far the catalogue may extend. Ernst appears to have a spice of romance in his composition. He is about 38 years of age, of sallow complexion, middle height, wears gold earrings in his ears, and has many scars about his body ; the right lower arm is marked, in blue ink, with the figures of a sailor and a woman joining hands, and underneath are the letters " ANA LINE" and a ship with three masts ; the left arm is marked in blue ink, with the figures of a woman, a mer maid, and the letter " M" in the centre of a heart ; underneath, the letters "M. 111" and a tree, a man, a woman, and a sea-horse, in red and blue ink inter mixed, and the words " Anna Maria Gonzales ;" a serpent on the left wrist, a man's head in centre of a ring on the back of the left hand ; a ring with diamond on the third finger of left hand; he has a small silver ring through the nipple of each breast, and on the centre of the breast, in blue ink, the figure of Christ on the cross, and a man on the one side and a woman on the other, weeping ; on the front of the left thigh, in blue ink, the figures of three men and a serpent in a tree • on the front of the right thigh the figure of an Indian warrior : calf of left leg marked, in blue ink, with the letters "PLSMMSS ;" right calf marked, in blue ink, with a crown and the letters "MK MS WLPNE HSCS ;" he has also a red and brown mark near the bend of the left elbow. Several persons who were found dealing with the property he had stolen at Headingley were taken into custody, but some of them were discharged, and others were admitted evidence against Ernst. THE SUPPOSED MURDER AT RAMSGATE. RAMSGATE, SATURDAY. By the exertions of the police sufficient light has been thrown on this sad occurrence to lead to the belief that it is a case not of murder but of delibe rate suicide. It will seem, from what follows, that the object of the deceased was to conceal his iden tity, and this would explain almost all the myste rious circumstances connected with the case. The deceased landed at. Southampton at the end of March from America, and went to the Hotel de L'Europe, in that town. He there gave a name which sounded like " Maltinger." He left South ampton for London on the 31st of March, and there put up at Hahn's hotel, America•square, where he remained till the 7th of April. He wore his left band in a bandage, and said it had been injured on board ship. On leaving the house he stated that he was a German, travelling for pleasure, and that he intended to make the tour of Scotland before re turning to Germany, but must first go to Paris. The people of the hotel believed him to be a native either of Baden or Wurtemberg. During his stay he appeared perfectly rational, but on an occasion when asked to write an address card he said he would do it at once, as his memory had been very bad since he suffered so severely from brain fever in America. On the 7th of April he left by the South Eastern Railway for Dover, and, as has been already stated, in the same carriage with Mr. Samuel Kidd. It has been said that Mr. Kidd noticed two of the deceased's fingers to be want ing. The fact was, however, that Mr. Kidd only observed that the fingers were bandaged—that is to to say, concealed as they were at the hotel in London. On the Bth the deceased bought the hatchet at Mr. Green's shop at Dover, as described, and stated himself to be a Russian. There is now no doubt that he was a German. On the same day he went from Dover to Deal by omnibus, and while on the way, the deceased being the only inside passenger, a German Bible was thrown or dropped out of the omnibus, and was picked up by a travelling hawker, who sold it at the Swingate Inn adjoining. The Bible has been examined by the police, and contains no name or marks. The motive of deceased in get ting rid of it was probably because the possession of the book would have pointed out the country to which he belonged, and thus have given a clue to his identity, for from this time the deceased always declared himself to be a Russian. On arriving at Deal the deceased went to the Walmer Castle Inn, stayed there on Friday night, and on Saturday came from Deal to Ramsgate by train. On arriving at Ramsgate he had his beard and moustaches shaved off. He then put up at the Royal Oak While there, a gentleman in the coffeeroom addressed him in French and in German, but he shook his head, saying, "Me Russ, me Russ." On Sunday he visited Margate, as already described, and after dining at the Elephant and Castle went to the house of Brasier. He then went for a walk with his carpet bag under his arm, and returned to the railway without it. The bag was found near Westbrook e m p t y , and near it two shirts and a white handkerchief with the marks picked out. He returned to Ramsgate the same afternoon, and at half-past five o'clock entered an oyster shop, where he partook of some refreshment. At a quarter to seven he was in the inn at Broad stairs, and at a quarter past seven he was seen near Sir Moses Montefiore's wall upon the cliff. At a quarter past eight a man whose clothes and hat— the latter of large size and peculiar shape—exactly resembled those of the deceased, was seen by a young man named Jackson at the eastern end of the Parade on Mo un t Albi n . Th e man wa lk e d rapidly, with his arms folded and his eyes fixed on th© ground. Here all trace of the deceased is lost till he was found at six o'clock next morning dead, under the East Cliff. The following are among the circumstances which point most directly to suicide. The spot where the I body was found was 25 feet from the cliff, and the tide had risen some feet above it, high enough to have washed the body to the place where it lay. About 80 yards lower down the beach, in nearly a direct line, cuts were found in one of the chalk rocks exactly corresponding with the blade of the hatchet found close by. This rock would be covered half flood soon as the water rose above half flood. Now flood on Monday morning was about half-past b e tween etw a one, and the death cehsequently took place quarter-past eight and half-past one. The rock is as high as a chair, so that a man might ueasily hand knelt it, and knelt beside it, placed his fingersfi er p s, boots, and chopped them off. The hatchet,i t 0 sink) n were found g umbrella (the articles most likely to this latter spot, while the clothes were found among the seaweed near the body. Our reporter was informed by experienced._the deceased had chopped men, who accompanied him to the spot, that if off his fingers at the rock alluded to, and had th en s t a bb e d himself to the hea rt and fallen instantly dead, his body would have been washed by th e regular set of the rising tide in shore, and a little to the northward, or exactly to the place where in point of fact , the bod y was fo und. The knife, which has been searched for without success, would pro bably have been knocked out of the wound by the body washing against the low rocks, and if the knife had a wooden handle, as many sailors' knives have, it might have floated and been carried out to sea. The medical evidence was that the skin was frayed, which would have resulted from the body washing up the beach. Why, it may be asked, did the deceased chop off his fingers ? The answer is, for the same reason that he had previously bandaged them, viz., to con ceal his identity. One joint of the first finger and two joints of the second had been amputated some years ago, and were perfectly healed. By this mark the deceased would be recognised, and there fore he determined to take all his fingers off. There was no sign of disease or other injury upon his hand to require a bandage. The absence of his watch and ring is now easily accounted for. Both being of peculiar appearance, and likely to lead to his iden tification, he would destroy them. If there was a name written inside his boots, to cut off the tops would effectually get rid of it. The wristbands of the shirts were torn off, and the marks picked out with a similar object. The unfortunate man, how ever, forgot a scrap of paper which was found near the body in the storehouse, and which there is no reason to doubt belonged to the deceased. It con tained there words, written in pencil, in indifferent German :—" Dear Mother, here are five dollars— little, but from a good heart.—Henry Matterigh." The fact that the deceased's money was gone has led many Persons to believe that a murder had been committed. Now, when the body was found the tide was two hours ebb, and long before that time country carts may have gone down to the beach, as is frequently the case, for gravel, or per sons may have been, as one was known to be, looking for shells. It is not improbable that the deceased was robbed' after death. The pockets of his coat were turned inside out, and two front pockets in his angota shirt were ripped open. We may add that it is very doubtful whether the de ceased had so much money as has been represented. The few words addressed to his mother lead to the belief that he was poor. His clothes were scanty, much worn, and oi the coarsest description. He never paid in gold, always in silver, and his watch was silver and not g old, as has been stated. Had the unfortutiate man been murdered there are three ways by which the body must have been carried to the beach, viz., past the harbour, where police are stationed alt night, down Augusta stairs, where a coastguard 1:4 ,stationed, or by_Dumpton stairs, where there is a nother guard. To suppose that the man was murde red on the beach is con trary to all the evidenc e ; to suppose that he - wag carried down past the gi tard is nearly incredible ; or indeed that it should l lave been attempted, when the body might so muc h more easily have been dropped over the cliff. The facts point, we tbdnk, clearly to the conclu sion that the deceased returned from America a disappointed man, reduced in means, and that this circumstance, affecting a brain previously weakened by disease, 'led him to determine on suicide. At first, intending to send his mother some little money, he changed his mind, and. endeavoured by the means we :have described to do away with all trace of his identity, and thus lead his family to the belief that he had perished at sea or in a foreign land. Melancholy as such a solution of the mystery is it is some satisfacition to know that what at first appeared an atroci, ous murder can be thus explained. No circumstance that has happened for many years has created so deep a sensation in East Kent as this shocking affair. The above expl a nation is unanimously assented to by Superintendent Livick, of the Ramsgate police, Superinten dent Pritchard, of the harbour police, and Supe. rintendent Stokes, who have conducted their inquiries with great energy and ability.

Two years of unremitting care and attention have enabled its inventor to take ground as a benefactor to these interests ; and notwithstand ing the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled against it and its probable utility, the food, from its admitted value, will become a necessity to the agricultural interest. Experience has proved, first, that it effects a considerable ' savi ng in the consumption of provender • secondly, that it produces health and vigour in all anim als subjected to its influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive mode then prevailing , of fattening stall-fed beasts. In th is he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Eng. lish farmer was slow to encourage its, use, and manifested an. unwillingness to rely upon its efficacy, fancying he possessed in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed and fatten his cattle at a cheap er rate than by the employmen t or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this food has been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as a cheap addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasmuch as in all cases a subtraction of one-third may be safely submitted to in the usual food of animals ; and that the produce will be realised, and rendered marketable in two-thirds of the time usually consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore, becomes apparent that a certain saving is effected by a fair application of Thorley's Compounded Food. It is believe d that the p reseta unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gene ral use in preference to any o ther of the usual articles of food; it is, however, much qu estioned whether wheat is a nourishing and proper food for the working horse, certain'," it is not for cows or p i gs ., Mr. Thorley's Food, besides possessing the advantage of g reatl y invigor a tin g the heal t h and increasing the physical power of all animals, is a tonic and gen tl e s timulant, and when . mixed with their other food, materially assists their digest ive powers —a matter of great consequence, since it is an undoubted f ac t th a t the nou rishment contain ed in their ordin ary food is lost, conse quent up?nwtlllle iairapoaibreedfoounr d d efee to ti b ve e p ac a t i ! ti on cul of ar t l h y e b di en g e es fi ti ci v e l orga ns' s i n restoring to good working condition horses which have been o ver-worked, or become .weak from disease, or are naturally of a feeble constitution. In cows its effects are undoubted, indeed almost marvellous=, nearly doubling the yield of milk and butter, whilst it at the same time enriches the quality of both. In pigs its fattening qualities are still more remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its manifest superiority over every other kind of compound or mann factured food adopted in the feeding of swine. Such has been its marked success, that at all our great cattle shows, Royalty, noblemen, and others who have fed their cattle on Thorley's Food, have invariably carried off the principal rizes, whilst cards of commendation have been awarded. The patrona ge o f R o y a lty, of our principal nobility, 'gni clergy, and of our leading agriculturists, must prove A great incitement to this gentleman to pursue his onward course ; and he may confidently rely, in producing 00 highly-favoured a compound, on a continuation of such high and distinguished patronage. -orAC BIRTHS.
