The above mode of insurance has been found most advantageous when policies have been required to cover monetary transactions, or when incomes applicable for insurance are at present limited, as it only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other com panies before the present system was instituted by this office, Loans are granted likewise on real and personal securities.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE. - It is only a short time since thls singularly efficacious art'c'e of animal diet first wade its app2arance ; and already its celebi y is world-wide. It has 1.. cva a subj - ct of wonder, and has puzzld many a brain to explain how this bas been brought about. Yet when we are acqua'nt.:d with a few faces concerning the ood, our wonder wfficease. A. fe 37 days slue?, a gent'eman wrote, stating that he had a horse wh'ch was a" pc acct bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the rnitral Into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse - .ap;dly grew :at, aad in the course of a few weeks had gained no less the 1 12 stones. Alain we find at the late agricultural show rt Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which carried off the highest pries had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in trinsic merits, and the great 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.

Wirernu Kingi, always opposed to Europeans, and nit° once openly, before hundreds of natives, called the much boasted Sir George Grey a lying Governor;' this chief, with 500 men, is besieging Ihaia, always a friend to Europeans, with 120 men. Ihaia cannot hold out in his fortress above a week, and then comes an awful massacre, for Kingi's mob declare they will kill every man, woman, and child in Ihaia's camp ; and Kingbi has sent a letter to the commander of our garrison of 250 troops, to say that when lie has done with Ihaia he will, in spite of a recent proclamation of the governor, escort through the town some of his allies from Omata, and, if molested, he will `open a butcher's shop for selling the pakeha's flesh.' This fellow is a church Maori, as all our worst rebels have been —Heke Ranperaha and Rangihaeata, of the Wairan massacre, &c. But he forgets one point. He may come into the town, but he would never leave it alive. He is so intensely hated that nearly all the settlers would run any risk to shoot him. You have no conception of the desperate irritation of mind towards this big savage and his mob in the breasts of our people. And if the Maories provoke a collision, my own belief is that they will be nearly exterminated, and that nothing in North America will be worse than the doings here. For nearly 20 years the Government has pursued a temporising course. The Maories believe forbearance to have meant weakness, and the settlers have felt their intsrests sacrificed to savage caprice. They have been driven from lands bought and paid for, and cooped up within a territory of only six miles radius, whilst be yond this to the north lies a glorious country for fifty miles, not forest but fern land, yet well watered and timbera, of which the natives do not and cannot culti vate one acre in one thousand; and yet from this land they have driven us and keep us. Our little settlement contains or did 2,500 people. On 125 miles of coast in our province there are 1,700 natives. I cannot wonder that the temper of New Plymouth, after so long a time of patient waiting and the endurance of insolence untold, should be as it is. Most earnestly do I wish that the two races could be reconciled to a new order of things, and both sit down under English law and government. But our Maories despise us and our laws, and our soldiers to hoot. Their civilisation is all fudge. They copy our dress and use ploughs, &c., because the one is convenient and the other brings them money; but they are savages still none the less. I know the minds of two natives that brought on the present contest; the most ferocious was a quiet seeming man who hail lived ten years in town as a servant to one of our merchants. No sepoy could be more dangerous. " I will now describe a visit I lately paid to both the fight ing parties as temporary colonial surgeon, and in company with two government officers of the native department, before the militia were called out. The parties are placed on the banks of the Waitara river, ten miles from the town, headed by Wiremu Kingi, and Ihaia and Nicoruna. The former heads from 400 to 500 besiegers; the latter chiefs have only 80 or 100 men, and hosts of women and children. The quarrel has reference to land. During the last four years the natives have been taught by missionaries not to sell the land. Hence sprung up the laud league. One of its members here (Katatore) shot down a native chief magis trate, in British pay (Rawiri), and six other men, when en gaged in cutting the line of some land they wished to buy. The Rawiri's friends were besieged by Katatore. Katatore had 250 men from the south to help him, but Ihaia came and rescued them, the price of his services being a piece of land, on which, in Maori warfare, he had built a pah, which he called Ikamvana, namely, Inkerman. This land he was entitled to sell according to Maori customs. Meanwhile a sort of peace was made, but not by Biala. Katatore nego tiated to sell land, and arrangements were nearly concluded, when the vile, treacherous, Puketapu mob—the nuisance of this place, instigat e d by Wiremu Kingi, it is believed, and certainly by Iwo native magistrates, paid £5O each per annum by our government to keep the peace (oh! how one's blood stirs to write this), laid a trap for Biala. They laid a plot to murder Katatore, and got Ihaia to consent to it and be concerned in it; but they were the conspirators; party, not his own hand, did the murder, and then the miscreants instantly jainedi Wiremu Kingi to destroy Ihaia. Thus they got rid of Katatore, and now nearly of Ihaia, and hoped either to keep their land or get all the money for it themselves. Ihaia defended his Ikamvana pals for some time; but as it was near our settlers, and not wishing to endanger them, he left it and went down to his land at Waitara, taking poot in his pah Te Kuraka. There we went to see him. Riding through a splendid but unoccu pied county, we came to the river Waitara, a good stream, navigable by boats and canoes, and fording it up to our horses' girths, were met at the farther side by two videttes, each with loaded double-barrelled guns. One went before, the other followed us, first, past an encampment, chiefly of women, cooking food for the men—a position well defended by breast-high earthworks, with good loopholes for firing from. The Maori, like the Turks, fights only under cover. Thence, we zig-zagged along the face of a very steep cliff, here and there passing small pickets of men and boys, all armed with loaded guns, and at last were conducted to head-quarters, namely, the deep trench of an old pall, well posted, inaccessible from the river, save by our path ; whilst its approaches on the other side were plain land. Here we met in council the malignant Wiretn- Kingi and the chiefs of his Tana,' or war party. The object of our visit was broached, namely, that in the absence of our colonial Burgeon, I, as his deputy, had come to dress the wounded. Oh, yes, quite right, dress our men,' said Kingi's party, but the rongoa,' or medicine, a term having with the Maori the same broad meaning it has in North America—' the medicine must not go to Ihaia.' `Oh, oh ! very nice this, dress you, and then let you forbid me—the Government surgeon—to dress the other side; be at once your partisan and slave, when every personal feeling revolts from your treachery, cruelty, and malignancy.' A smart de bate arose, but argument was vain, and I refused to dress any unless I might dress both. Yet thiswas painful and cruel work, for close by, in a small hut, lay a Maori, with a ball in his foot, who overheard the debate, and who made the retnals, All, it is all very well for Wiremu Kingi to say he would not send for the doctor to dress him, but I want this ball out of my foot.' He died that day week ! Further be it observed, that this same hateful Wiremu Kingi never fights or runs one bit of risk himself. Like other big bul lies, he is a thorough coward. Yet, it is by the will of this fellow, almost solely, that we get no land, and are virtually ruined if we try to realise our investments. He has not one wrong to urge against us, nor has his character one redeem ing point. I formally refused to act, unless I could act for both sides, and so the matter ended. To keep honour bright' even with these fellows, I gave them my kit' of in struments, dressings, and dinner, whilst we went to the be leaguered camp. These was no objection to our visiting it, but `take no rongoa ;' our horses were accordingly left, saddles and bridles on the ground, tethered i n a patch of oats, a crop wasted for war ; and passing other outposts of earthwork and trees, loop-holed, as before described, we be gan to come near Ihaia's pah—sbouting and waving arms and hats, to prevent longshots' at us in mistake. We saw where the besiegers, a week before, had tried to creep up to a second pah of Ihaia's through stauding corn, but were seen and repulsed with some loss. Reaching Ihaia's pah we passed through its double palisading and and visited the inmates, who looked, to my eye, hag„ harassed. One poor fellow was dying of consu m p t ion, and two others, Luke' and Toby,' were shockingly wounded w by an ambuscade and skirmish, the results o fhich had rd brought me down-. One had seven tomahawk cuts—slashes four inches long—and two musket-ball wounds, one at the hip and out at the back, the other in at the thumb and out near the wrist, in again in the upper arm and out of the shoulder! Toby had a ball lodged against the bones of the leg. Yet I must nor, in honour, help them, save, to day, 'dress them with water. I may here say I was pronounced correct in what I did officially, and in a few days after two settlers, a surgeoa and a merchant, rode down, and, at great risk, stole into the pall, dressed the men and removed the ball, and Luke and Toby are well again. Wiremu Kingi's cruelty recoiled on him self, at least on his soldiers—and Baia was not hurt by it. Leaving the pah, and again using precautions to avoid long shots,' we went to the old Pukerangeora's pab, where the ambush lay which had caught peo ple whilst out to get food. Two fine oxen of his, shot that morning, lay dead to rot on the ground. I picked up two ball-cartridges and my companions found a long broken handled tomahawk, a broken musket, a cap torn in front by a ball, and some other clothing of the men killed. when Luke and Toby were wounded. We soon found ourselves atnong,st a dozen Maories, all with guns loaded and capped, nod whose number quickly amounted to 28, by twos and three out of the trenches of the old fortress. We told them of the clothes, gun, and tomahawk, and with much impartiality we took to Ihaia's men what had belonged to their comrades, and went back to Wiremu Kingi with their friends' relics. Another brief call at Karaka, an interview with the two chiefs, Ihaia and Nikoruna (Isaiah and Nicodemus), and then we returned to our horses and Wiretnu Kingi's mob. We called at an out post full of men armed, and, asking for my kit, it was contentsfriendly grove y u r nnevtnoeouuncfghiel guns,n d l r o a b üb t down nt ego ushs —e a u n gl d dr ee tookretdylwith a m l y t tuh s e d ,5 i w a sandwo wners iches s, promptly handed to me, the mouth tied w ith fl a x, and the s naturally are, no one, by gestu r e or wor d, s h ow i ng a d es i re wished d ni t t n s l ee ga ni v y e i p n a s r tr t u a nt w e a n y ts . ; N s V n ir l em sa u t Kai - w ra i l s ' h ' R to in s g h i a c re am m e y up ' down with him and showed them with much unction. Pity he could not benefit by them. Whilst saddling my horse, a Maori, a tarnata noa, or common man, made inquiries about the wounded in Ihaia's pah, and the savage' fellow gloated over every bit of detail about the wounds and cuts he could wring out of tne. I told him as little as possible. My four-and-a-half years amongst the finest race of savagesin the world' brings me to assent to the remark that, 6 you may Christianise and civilise savage individuals but not a nation.' And our missionaries who have laboured amongst them 25 years are constrained sorrowfully to confess their once hopeful converts are not only negligent and retrograd ing, but are worse than ever they knew them in heathen ism, . And I don't think our now virtual ascendancy will he allowed by this warlike race until therelhas been, as Cal. Mundy says, in ' Our Antipodes,' another, and, to the natives, a surely fatal, appeal to arms.' I think it might be averted with the greatest advantage to both sides; but I see no signs save an ultimate tempest. My visit to this most beautiful country—like the Tamar Valley, but richer even, though uncultivated and bathed in the intense, clear sun shine of a New Zealand summer sky—ended by again ford ing the river near its mouth, up to my knees on my mare's back—but a good wetting matters little here. We rode ten miles on the black iron sand beach, in the teeth of a strong S.W. wind, which made my lips sore for a fortnight, yet 1 took no cold. I must confess to having felt much interest in seeing thus, in actual existence, Maori warfare, pahs, stock ades, &c., &c., yet I came away heavy-hearted; for if we could but have fair play, and we want no more, I rather pre fer the Maoris' presence to their absence—whilst, as it is, even a more Christian man than I am cannot easily take the bitter draught we have to drain In our present mutual rela tions. However, our settlement is so palpably going to decay that some step must be taken on our behalf. So much for this ruinous, tedious Maori war of blockading and starving out. We are at quiet again for a time, but 48 hours ago Thole made a sortie, 30 of his men were killed, one belonging to tsibes on the Whanganhni rivg; Who will now send men, perhaps 30, do avenge him, and thus tribe after tribe gets drawn, till it is impossible t 9 bow many may eventually be collected here," THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE. THE VOYAGE OF THE NIAGARA, AND THE RECEPTION OF THE NEWS IN AMERICA. By the Northern Light we have received New York papers, brimming over with despatches, letters, reports, and lending articles relating to the success of the Atlantic Telegraph ext.edition. rite public bath of the United States and of Canada had brew wrought to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, and their delight has manifested itself in illuminations, torch-light processions, military parades, salvos of artillery, and numerous other deatonstrations. It is difficult, indeed, to convey, without but rowing a great deal from their journals, an idea of the excitement which prevailed. The news reached New York on the sth inst., on the afternoon of which day one of the papers published the following "extra :" "The news frona.Newfoundland is almost too good to be true. The Atlantic cable is laid ! The United States steam frigate Niagara, Capt. Hudson, and the British war steamer Gorgon, Capt. Dayman, arrived at Trinity Bay yesterday (August 4), and the Atlantic cable, the working of which is perfect, is being landed to-day. All we can hope for now is that the above important and exciting intelligence is true, and that the Agamemnon and Valorous will succeed in laud ing their cable safely at Valentia Bay. This news will send an electric thrill throughout the world." Within a few hours two despatches were received from Mr. Cyrus Field. One was to the mayor of New York : "Trinity Bay, Aug., 8, 1858.—Sir,—The A lantic telegraph cable has been successfully laid. C. W. FIELD." The other was to the Associated Press of New York : " Trinity Bay, Aug. 5, 1858. " To the Associated Press, New York : " The Atlantic telegraph fleet sailed from Queenstown on Saturday, July 17; met at mid-ocean on Wednesday, the 28th, and made the splice at 1 p.m. on Thursday, the 29th, and then separated—the Agamemnon and Valorous bound to Valentia, Ireland, and the Niagara and Gorgon for this place, where they arrived yesterday, and this morning the end of the cable will be landed. It is 1,698 nautical, 0r1,950 statute, miles frmu the telegraph house at the head of Valentia harbour to the telempii house, Bay..of Bull's Arm, Trinity Bay; and for-more the two-thirds of this distance the water is over two miles in depth. The cab!e has been paid out from the Agamemnon at about the same speed as from the Niagara. The electrical signals sent and received through the whole cable are perfect. The machinery for paying out the cable worked in the most satisfactory man ner, end was not stopped for a single moment from the time the splice was made until we arrived here. Capt Hudson, Mess's. Everett and Woodhouse, the electricians and offi cers of the ships, and, in fact, every man on hoard the tele graph fleet, has exerted himself to the utmost to make the expedition successful. After the end of the cable is landed and connected with the land line of telegraph, and the Nia gara has discharged some, cargo telonging to the Telegraph Company, she will go to St. John's for coal, and then pro ceed at once to New York. " CYRUS W. FIELD." The Mayor replied—" Sir,—Your despatch has been re ceived. I congra: ulate you fur myself and for the people of this city on the success of the great work of uniting together the Old and New World by the electric telegraph. Science, skill, and perseverance have finally triumphed.—DANlEL F. TIEMANN, Mayor of New York. ,, The following despatch was seat by Captain Hudson to his family : " Trinity Bay, August 5, 1858. " God has been with us. The telegraph cable is laid intimation of the event without accident, and to Him be all the glory. We are all first t ociated Press; he well.—Yours, affectionately, Wm. L. HUDSON." The President of the United States, who was at Bedford, through Pennsylvania, theee subse quently received a short message from Mr. Field, in which it was stated that the line would be kept clear for a message to him from Queen Victoria. The following was the Presi dent's reply : " Bedford, Pennsylvania, August 5,1858. " To Cyrus W. Field, Trinity Bay. "My dear Sir, —I congratulate you with all my heart on ,he success of the great enterprise with which your name is so honourably connected. Under the blessing of Divine Providence I trust it may prove instrumental in promoting perpetual peace and friendship between the kindred nations. I have not yet received the Queen's despatch. Yours, very respectfully. " JAMES BUCHANAN." We may here state that Mr. Buchanan, when it was pro posed tha: the first message should pass between the rulers of the two nations, at once assented, and wrote the following letter to Mr. Field:— " My dear sir,—Accidental circumstances, which I need not detail, prevented your kind letter of the 19th ult. being brought under ray notice until this morning. I now hasten to say I will feel myself much honoured if the first message, as you proposed, sent across the Atlantic, be from Queen Victoria to the President of the United States—and I need not assure you he will endeavour to answer it in a spirit and manner becoming a great occasion. Yours, very respt ctfully, "JAMES BUCIIANAN." Owing to an unfortunate accident to the land telegraph wire somewhere iu Cape Breton we have no additional defi nite information respecting the landing of the Atlantic tele graph cable at Newfoundland. The land line of telegraph to which the accident occurred passes through a wild9ruess, and the work of repairing damages is one of no small diffi culty. The necessary repairs woull, we are assured, be completed in a day or two. " It is difficult," says the New York Herald, " to de scribe the state of feeling that pervaded this city yesterday in relation to the news concerning the Atlantic cable. It was the theme and subject for wondrous admiration for every one during the entice day, from earliest noon till after midnight:. The inquiries, relation of facts, and expressions of hope and admiration. were on every one's tongue, and beard by every one's ear, wherever one turned, and at every hour during the foreeeon and afternoon. The rush for the several editions of the Herald was almost unprece dented, and every despatch tended only to increase the anxiety and produce additional sensation. It was universally felt that the greatest triumph of human ingenuity and enter prise had been successfully accomplished beyond the shadow of doubt. Nevertheless, it was apparent, from the continued inquiries and the ever-increasing desire for further news, that the people everywhere burned with anxious feelings to hear something additional to what was already known. People were frequently heard to ask, Has the Queen's message arrived ? Others would remark that they believed anything possible now. Some would desire to know what the message and answer would be, and conjectures—many of them the most ridiculous—concern ing the subject of the message, were kept up with great spirit and tax of the inventive faculties." Orders had been issued by Mayor Tiemann to have two pieces of artillery ready to fire a salute of one hundred guns en the reception of the next despatch from Trinity Bay. The fellowing telegrams are selected from an immense number received by our New York contemporaries from various parts of the Union, all telling the same story of sur prise and delight : . _ " Washington, Aug. 5, 1858. " The public mind was greatly excited to-day by the news of the success of the Atlantic Telegraph enterprise. The general impression at first was that the news was too good to believe, but the cosfirmation of the news has caused a feeling of delight, amounting almost to transport." "Albany, Aug. 5. " The telegraph office and other public offices are illumi nated to-night in 11 'flour of the successful laying of the At lantic telegraph cable. The people are wild with excite ment." " Boston, Mass., Aug. 5. "The announcement of the successful laying of the At lantic telegraph cable was made shortly after noon to-day, and created great excitement. The favourable termination of the enterprise was hoped for, but very little faith felt in it. Tne news at first was received with some doubt, but subsequently the details of the great event becoming known, there was great rejoicing." " Worcester, Mass., Aug. 6, 1858. " A salute of one hundred guns and all the bells in the city were rung to-day in honour of the success of the Atlantic cattle. In the evening the office of the American Tele graph Company was brilliantly illuminated, and a band of musicians played soul-inspiring:, music from the balcony of the Lincoln House. EverybAy in the city is rejoicina.' , " Bangor, Me., Aug. 5, 1858. " One hundred guns were fired here this afternoon, and the church bells rung on the announcement of the success of tiro Atlantic cable." " Andover, Aug. 5, 1858. " At the semi -centennial dinner of the Alumni of the Andover Theological College this afternoon, about 1,000 were present. A despatch announcing the success of the Atlantic telegraph was read and received with enthusiastic applause, which continued for some time. The doxology was then sung to the tune of the Old Hundredth. Rev. Dr. Adams, of New York, said his heart was too full of thank fulne,s for a speech, and at his suggestion a prayer to God was offered in acknowledgment of the providential result. Rev. Dr. Hawes spoke of the event as calculated to hasten the triumphs of civilisation and Christianity. Tile whole audienceithen joined in s i n g i ng Praise God, from whom all blessings flow.' Dr. Hawes then offered a prayer, and in closing said We have consecrated this new instrument, so far as our agency is concerned to the building up of the truth."' " Rochester, Au g . 0, 1858. "A . f ee li n g of glorification connection with our sister cities also seized our citizens this evening, and much excite ment prevailed in the streets. The Telegraph office was brilliantiy illuminated, and its front draped with American and British flap.

It has since been the almost exclusive topic of conversation, and a general feeling of gratification is apparent." " Montreal, Aug. 5, 1858. " The news of the arrival of the Niagara at Trinity Bay was received here shortly after noon to-day, and caused a profound sensation.

We wish that Heaven had made us poetical, that we might raise a song of triumph on the success of one of the noblest works that ever the mind of man conceived, or that his hand could execute. The At lantic cable is laid, and we are all within speaking distance of our own tnother country—of the fatherlands of most of the people of this continent—and soon we shall be as closely allied to all the people of the earth. It would be impossible to overrate the importance of this great—we had almost said greatest of events. Providence has indeed been kind to us. Now as ever let our gratitude, though it can never be ccm mensurate with the boon conceded, swell our bosoms with thankfulness in excelsior.

The following summary from the Argus contains the principal items of news : "A cessation of hostilities between the Boers of the Free State and the Basutus has been effected, and both parties have agreed to leave the matter in the haads of his Excel lency Sir George Grey, who will leave Cape Town on Wed nesday for the Free State. His Ex •ellency is to attempt a mediation between the two, but whet her he will succeed or not it is difficult to say. The Free State is in sad confusion. There are three parties there, one in favour of a union be tween the State and the Trans Vaal, under the governor ship of Pretorius ; a second party is in favour of Boshof and war; and a third, and by far the largest and most intelli gent portion of the community, yearn for re-annexation with the colony. "Claims have been sent in by British subjects living in Moshesh's territory for compensation for injuries and spolia tiun of their property by Free State people during the war, to the amount of X 2,300. " Catfreland is quiet, and there is little complaint now of the Caffres in the colony. The chief Umbels was captured last week, but what his crimes are we do not know. The Governor's policy is a profound secret. Few pretend to un derstand it. We hear now and then that some chief is to be punished for something or other, and when the thing is done we get the Governor's, or rather the High Commissioner's, version of the affair. " The alarm expressed by many at the beginning of the year that the importations of British goods and the amount of Customs' revenue for the current year would be greatly reduced, have proved altogether erroneous. The following statements of the Customs' duties received in Cape Town during the first, six months of 1857 and 1858 respectively show a perfectly healthy and prosperous state of commercial affairs : January £10,053 .. £13,578 February 12,169 .. 9,272 March April 10,962 .. 8,781 •M ay 13,044 .. 13,351 June 6,614 .. 13.620 The increase on the half-year has therefore been £8,986 In Table Bay wharfage dues there has been a falling off from £4,820 to £4,130 " The City of Manchester arrived here from Gibraltar, with troops, on Thursday last. She had the 314 Regiment on board and a company of Engineers. Site put into Table Bay for coals, and left for Algoa Bay on Friday, where the troops are to be landed. " The ship W. E. Malcolm, Capt. Sims, sunk in Simon's Bay last Thursday. She was bound from Bombay to Eng land, and struck on a rock on the L'Agulbas reef on the 30th of May during a very thick fog. She became leaky, and put into Simon's Bay on the following day. On Thurs day, her cargo having been previously taken out, she was hove down for the examination of her keel.

Orders were yesterday received at Chatham garrison, di recting reinforcements to the number of upwards of 500 men of all ranks, belonging to the three battalions of Infantry, to be held in readiness to embark for Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, and Kurrachee early in the ensuing month. The depots of those regiments at Chatham the service companies of which are held in readiness to return to Eng land from India have given some volunteers for various corps, and a number of troops have availed themselves of the permission to volunteer for various corps in India. The depot of the tnel Light infantry has give❑ upwards of 100 men to different regiments, and the 10th and 84.. h depots have also furnished volunteers to other corps. Yesterday draughts of officers and men selected from va rious regiments at Chatham left that garrison for Ilythe, for the purpose of going through a course of instruction %xi It the Enfield rifle at the School of Musketry, to qualify them for assistant instructors on joining their respective regiments in India.

CROSSED CIIEQUES.—A banker says :—" Notwith standing all that you say about crossed cheques, I maintain that when a cheque is properly crossed it cannot be oblite rated, except through the fault or negligence of the person crossing it. If the crossing is made with strong transverse lines, it cannot be erased without mutilating the cheque; but I have seen many crossed cheques where the crossing was not observable without special examination, and in such cases it could, of course, be easily erased so as to avoid de tection." TIIE METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.—The report of the Metropolitan Board of Works for the year ended June 30, 1858, appeared yesterday in print. The Board refer to their former proceedings in connection with the main drainage of London, a summary of which has already been given in our own periodical reports of the meetings of the Board. They say it is obvious from the wide range and recondite character of the inquiries con nected with the main drainage question, that a large share of the time and attention of the Board and their officers must have been devoted to the subject, and that the conduct of the elaborate investigations incident to the successive plans which the Board have been required to prepare must have occasioned a very considerable expenditure. The surveys, plans, and estimates connected with improve ments in the thoroughfares and communications of the metropolis have also been attended with great labour anti expense. From the unsettled state of the main drainage question, and the uncertainty which has hitherto prevailed as to the lines of sewers which might eventually be approved by that department of the Govern ment charged by the statute with the ultimate determina tion of the plan, the Board have been obliged to defer the execution of extensive sewerage works until the question shall have been finally decided, and proper outlets provided. Between the "6! b of March, 1857, and 25th of March, 1858, 11,208 feet of new sewers were laid down; and 30 side en trances, 100 ventilating shafts, and numerous flaps and gulleys were constructed. The cost of cleansing 166 miles of main sewers during the year was £6,844, the repairs £2,687, and the total expenditure on sewage works £28,494. Application was made to the Board by vestries and district boards for their sanction to loans on the credit of the kcal rates, amounting in the whole to £108,968, but this sanction is suspended. As regards the new line of street 70 feet in width, between Blackfriars-road and High-street, South wark (the gross cost of which was estimated at £519,124), it is stated that on the 16th of April last the Board agreed with the Bank of England for a loan of £400,000 for seven years, at V, per cent, to be advanced by instalments of £50,000 each. This cash is to be applied to the Southwark improve.. tnent, and also to the " Covent Garden am roach," the gross cost of which is estimated at £91,820. p • remiums were awarded to the following gentlemen for designs of first-class streets :—Mr. H. 1). Davies, 1 00 guineas ; M r. J . T . Knowles, 50 guineas ; anti Messrs. A. and F. Warren, 10 guineas ; and for designs of second-class streets, to Mr. W. H. Cuffingford, 50 guineas ; to Mr. Redall, 20 guineas; and to Messrs. S. Hughes and G. Hopkins, 5 guineas. There is to be an improved eommunication between the East India Dock andost of Bow roads. The Board will con tribute to the cost South wark ; High-st ree t widening Mint-street, South , W appino• • Mill-street Dockhead ; Rotherhithe-street ; an d the improvements in ' the Minories, Newgate-street, and Fleet-street. The new park in Fins bury. will in c l u d e 2 50 acres, and the cost is est i mate d at £216,820. The land is partly in Islington and partly in Hornsey. It was intended tolay out a park of 106 acres in Bermondsey and Rotherhithe, to be called the Southwark park, but the Bill was dropped, owing to local objections to the site of the park. The Board have improved the number ing of the houses in the New-road, between the Edgware road and the Angel at Islington. The necessity of abolish ing the duplicate names of the streets adverted to in the last report of the Postmaster-General, has occu pied the serious attention of the Board, but their powers are too restricted at present to enable them to carry out to the full the useful suggestions of that report. The re ceipts of the board in the year o•-,„'ed Lady-day last amounted to £7 5 ,7 51 , to n 1•,• ad - the ",,,Ayments to £90,260. The a cash halanee of " outstanding det e board were £133,001. They had. Three pert, 04 403, anti a sum of £4,048 in the New to ' - tits. The total liabilities of the Board amounted P 4 _-.02,448. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS AN INFALLIBLE REMEDY FOR BAD LEGS.—Robert Dickie, of Broad-street, Allos, informed Mr. Cumming, druggist, of the same town, that about 18 years ago Le injured his ankle in a coal pit, which afterwards formed into a running ulcer. To cure it he tried innumerable medicines, but without effect. He was in the Royal Infirmary about three years ago; there they told him that amputation was the only chance of saving his life. At last a friend very earnestly recommended him to try llolloway's Ointment and Pills, and they have been the sole means of healing the wound, and rendering his leg perfectly sound. Printed directions for their use accompany the medicines. " 'Tis thirty years ago" will now take us very far hack, not only in scientific discoveries and mechanical improve ments, which have wholly altered the face of even this island, lint in the more intractable and uriimproyeable ele ment of customs and institutions. Nowhere else is the change so utter as in Teelaud. Here V.° wonders of art and science are surpassed by what we must call the social re generation of the country. Had any one predicted thirty years ago such events as those which Lcrd Egliotcn grate fully claims for his Viceroyalty —the union of the f wo worlds by the electric cable, or the estableehment of a packet line between Galway and New York with steamers of 4,000 or 5,000 tons burden, he would speedily have list of Irish projector. Nay, hail his proper i p f la a c n e y a bO s d ig y n l e ia l d h g li o n n i e n so the fa l r or a ig s to predict several thousand miles of railway, he would have been set down as fit com pany Er the explorers of Wexford gold mines, or the eou vertors of Irish I) , g-earth into spermaceti c oldies. But Atlantic teleeraphs, Leviathan steamers, arid Irish railways have been surpaa , eil by the change in the habits and condi tion of the people. Tie are iter part of this etieeee, to Ilea ()yenned, not within thirty ye sra but within ten—nay, even five. The contrast which a r,kes Lori Egtintcn is that between hie last Vive-royalty and this. Wnerever he goes he sees the face of the country and the aspect of the people equally changed. He sees employment, wealth, enterprise, order, peace, and comfort. He sees a commu nity steadily engaged in those works of industry which placed England at the head of eivilis2d nations. He sees modes of cultivation and agricultural machinery which a few years ago would have been certain death to those who had the temerity to employ them. He sees labour receiving its reward, and no linger engaged in an endless warfare with property. He sees eew houses, new breeds of cattle, and all but a new race of men. There is only one vestiee or Old Ireland still to be deplored,—it is the fierce jealousy of the rival creeds which divide the numbers against the wealth of Ireland. The smothered fires of this ancient volcano still ever and anon break out, and threaten to bring Ireland flack to its former miseries. Lerl Eglinton does his best to coax and cajole the good people of Derry into Christianity and good sense on tuts tender point. He refers in the customary terms to the famous Defence ; and grate fully recalls how, in the last century, even the Roman Catholics, Papists d on by t their Bishop, put a good face on it, and joined i n the auntie! celebration. But times are changed. The like now to be reminded of the event which banished their sovereign, proscribed their religion, and confiscated their property. They feel other ties stronger than the local or the municipal, and resent, rather than welcome, the festivities, the processions, the services, and the sermons, that now recall the liberation of Derry and the scattering of Papisti cal foes. If they are so unreasonable, so ill-natured, and so silly ;—if they take amiss so simple and natural ea ex pression of feeling, then Lord Eglinton suggests, or just hints, that it might be as well to give way. There is no fear of the Siege of Derry being forgotten ; so what is the use of always recalling it, when the anniversary gives every , body offence? Thirty years ago the condition of Ireland was a disgrace, net only to England, but to Europe itself. Nowhere was there a people so ill-fed, so ill-clothed, so ill-housed. Foe those misfortunes and infirmities which brine upon the poor books a twentieth of the people of prosperous England, and as much as a twelfth, or even a tenth, of some thriving agricul tural districts, the Irish people had no l ega l resource except that liberty to beg which an English statesman once alluded to as a tolerable equivalent. For those who were ashamed to beg and strong enough to dig there remained the lowest de scription of husbandry known in the world, small holdings, without proper buildings, implements, or steck, yet so ne e( scary to the existence of the cultivator, that he allowed himself to be rack-rented out of all proportion or power. To defend his position when he could pay no rent, when another bid more, or when the landlord attempted a better system, he had no legal resource except combination to murder—a practice which has not yet received the sanction of any British statesman. Besides his rent to his landlord, generally an absentee, he had to pay tithes to a clergy whom he believed to be the aaents of ,a Satanic heresy, and who had precisely the same opinion of him and his creed. The more he paid the more was he denounced, and when he discharged his legal obligations, it was only to feed the flames of an odious persecution. Of course, he did combine against landord and clergy; he devised methods suitable to his condition and class, and found chiefs equally ready and fit. So, thirty years ago there raged a social war, which the greatest captain of the day pronounced to be not only fetal to our credit, but dangerous to our weal, and pregnant with the worst consequences, if not met with timely conces sions. A most able and unscrupulous man, who found his own line of greatness in ripening and organising the social disorders of Ids country, and who set at nano,lit every con sideration that came in the way, held the heart of Ireland in his hand, and could do what he pleased with that excite able race. Thus at the same time there raged three fierce wars in the island, the political, the religious, and the pre dial. The first brought its chief to beard the Legislature in its own halls ; the second actually suspended fur years the legal provision for the Established clergy; and the third threatened every day to send every landlord to the grave, where already lay, in most instances, his most active agents, his most improving tenants, and several of his relations and friends. The result of this was a social misery, an uncertainty of life, and a precariousness of condition, utterly incompatible with happy and healthy existence. The landlord would not reside where lie hated and was hated in return ; where he dispensed wretchedness, and where his life was sought. If he did reside, it was to truckle to a priesthood who could and did band him over to the assassin. His wife could not bear a country where she lived halt' the year with the lower windows boarded with three-inch planks, where an obnoxi ous colour provoked angry missiles, where her husband had given a site for a Popish Alass-house, and where every ser vant about the house was in secret league with the foe. So their visits were few and far between, and they generally resided where provisions were not so cheap, or life either, as in this peaceful country. Every week, sometimes every morning, the landlord had letters from persons playing a double game between him and a band of assassins. He was duly informed of the proceedings of clubs that met every night for the enfircement of rude justice at the expense of landlords and their agents. He had to cheek the letters one against another, and to secure, if possible, by calling in fresh aid, that they were not all in collusion against him. When thus up to the arrangements of the shooting season he would find his information verified by a murder or an attempt. It was, of course, gratifying to find himself on the right scent, an I that his life certainly was sought. True, the assassins often failed, and the victims, or intended victims, 1..1 their consolations. The assassins seldom failed to kill somebody, though ()Rem the wrong man. When one man was shot for another the one had the comfort of feeling that he was the victim of the mi'take, and the other was at least equally pleased to have the benefit of it. This was Irish society thirty years ago. The natural consequence of absenteeism and mutual hatred was something worse than barbarism- Yet there were also riot and extravagance. There were ideal income, overwhelming debt, consuming mortgage, millstones of settlement, huge castles never lived in or paid for, and every evil of public or private life, enough to have brought on a hundred bloody revolutions, but for the im mensely-preponderating power of wealthy and Protestant England. Coull it have been imagined thirty yetirs ago, that in the year 1858 two men of different parties, an Irish Viceroy akd. ex-Premier, would be found drawing such a picture of Irish peace and prosperity as that given in the speeches of Lord Eglinton and Lord Palmerston ? Would a predle- tion of the Atlantic Telegraph have been more disbelieved ? How has this change come to pass? It is the result, we freely admit, rather of events than of any human wisdom.. It is the work mainly of Heaven, and not of man. Among the causes which have contributed we must reckon the very extravagance of Irish demands, and that shrill scream tof mingled threat and insult which cracked the voice and finally bloke the heart of Irish agitation. O'Coo - d ell dug his own grave. He just lived to see his cotr.itry disen thralled, not only from some odious restr;:aions on her liberty, but still more from himself. 'then came that failure and final blow of the potato syqem, w hich destroyed or drove into banishm e nt th e starv;:dg peasantry and ousted the encumbered landlords. Tea followed the gold dis coveries, and that great prosperity w hich has raised the con dition of labour and giv , :n a man his due all over the world, as in Ireland. Such is the par t which nowhere so much events have hart i n t h e mat t er . Legislation, too, has done something, but it has, wisely perhaps, acted only a secondary part. It has follo w eA in the train of events, mending, as it were, the ravages of tornado, rebuilding after the confla gration, but finding-even that work better than its own. Wa have to thank Providence for Ireland as it is, and it isno small encouragement to those who despair of the improve ments they have set their hearts upon, that they little know the vast openings and opportunities that any day may bring.— Times. Madlle. Eudoxie Laurent, a pretty actress of the Ti.vore des Variete., appeared on Wednesday before the Tribunal of Correctional Police to take her trial on the charge of appropriating some objects, which had been seized. it appeared that some time ago she purchased on credit a cask of Beaune (Burgundy) wine of the best quality for 370 fr., and that she did not pay for it. The sellers, al M. Audiffret, accordingly brought an action against her, anti obtained authorisation to seize her furniture ; but when they had effected the seizure they learned to their vexation. that it was not hers, but an upholsterer's, she being merely the occupant of a furnished apartment. They then seimai various articles of dress belonging to her, but after this was done she took away a morning gown , in, bilk richly decorated, a silk dress, two good 'oonnets, and three chemises decked with English embroidery, worth .10fr. each. In her defence the fair actress said that she had thought herself entitled to take the tuings, and that they were of such little value that she had given tnem away to some girls. She had so little intention, she declared, of doing anything wrong that she had offered to restore the things. She also had, she added, ofrered to pay for the wine in instalments. "Yes!" cried the advocate for thet plaintiff's, " you offered to replac' the articles of dress taken by others purchased at. the "iimple! And as to pay ing for the wine, you offered s :,ofr. a-month—as if people who drink Beaune could not pr.y more !" The tribunal dis missed the complaint.—GaVgnoni. THE PRISONERS' Va:s.—When the hour of de parture arrives, you see, the pavement and carriage way of Bow-street studded With a ch oice assemblage of the raggedry, ruffianry, felonry, misery, drunkanry, and drabbery, whom the infamous hundred of Drury, and the scarcely less infamous tithing of Covent, have cast into a thoroughfare which, two hours hence, will be re-echoing to listen to tine wheels of carriages bearing noble lords and ladies to the delicious Bosio in the " Traviata," or the encbantireg notes of Tamber lik in " Otello."
