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, ri 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 cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the g, - reat 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, Newg,ate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

BY SAMUEL LAWERT, 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, &c., &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 premature 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 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 sell 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 derangenient to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

The new company who have tak en this ship in hand during the past few weeks are composed in a great measure of the old shareholders-.-who feel that the commercial prospects of the undertaking are really based on a too certainly sur cmsful foot ing to be thrown off with every ill-humour and mood of dejection—united with a few other capi talists, who see that if the Leviathan, costing a million, was likely to pay a dividend, much greater would be the dividend paid by a Leviathan costing £90,000. No time, therefore, will be lost in fitting the ship up and getting her ready . far sea. The first act of the new company promises well. The shares (the whole of which arc now subscribed for) have been taken up by people in all classes of society, the majority of whom arc, of course, anxious to see the property they have invested their money in. That this natural curiosity may be fully in dulged in, the ship will, during the next fortnight, be thrown open to the public inspection of all who choose to go on board, free of charge. - After the expiration of the prescribed fortnight, however, no one on any pretence will be allowed to visit the ship, so that the work of finishing the interior fittings may be proceeded with uninterruptedly, and be completed in about five months. For some short time after she goes to sea the Leviathan will run between some English port and Portland, in Ame rica ; but she will only be kept upon this station just sufficiently long to convince the public of her superior speed and safety. The real and legitimate field for her operation will be the East India trade. On this line, both in cheapness and rapidity, she will be able to compete successfully with all the existing communications with India either overland or by sea, both for goods and passengers. Suppos ing her speed to be only 15 knots an hour (though no one calculates it at less than 18 knots), she would perform the voyage from England to India in one month, which would establish her success in point of speed. Being, as she certainly will be, able to carry an enormous freight, as well as her coals out and home, it necessarily follows that she will be able to take all classes of goods at a much cheaper rate than any other ship. These are self frident facts. • But then the question is asked, Will there be sufficient trade, either. la goods or Tassengers, to su pply one , muc h less two or thrk e such ships running every month ? A reference to the statistics of our Indian trade sufficiently an swers this. Large and remunerative as is the existing trade to the East, and valuable and costly as are the commodities sent there, no one unac quainted with the subject can have any conception of the extent to which it is capable of being de veloped with regular and rapid communication such as the Great Eastern will ensure. With silk from China and India, amounting annually to from 90,000 to 100,000 bales valued at £2,000 to £3,000 per ton; of indigo, some 150,000 maunds, valued at from £5OO to £l,OOO per ton ; with saf flower, shellac, lac dye, tea, and coffee, ranging in value from £lOO to £7OO per ton ; with shawls and other valuable Eastern productions, a full and a paving cargo may be insured each hcimeward voyage, without taking into account the number of passengers, to whom the saving in time and money would be an object. For the outward voyage at least there would be no doubt of securing a full cargo. What with metal work, Birmingham and Sheffield wares, cotton and woollen fabrics from Leeds,, Manchester, Paisley, and Glasgow, and haberdashery, embroidery, silks, and satins from other pada of England, from France, and from Germany, there is surely freight enough to fill the Great Eastern, and many other ships besides. With the daily increasing wants of the civilised people in Australia, and a European army in India of three times its former strength, together with the inducement to European residence and settle ment which the extensive system of Indian railways now in course of construction will undoubtedly give, there can be little doubt that, With its facilities of readily transporting to those rich fields of industry in the East the enterprise of Europe, there is at this moment profitable employment for a fleet of such steamers as the Great Eastern. The exports from England to Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay for eleven months of 1858 were 409,957 tons of goods, valued at £12,082,584, of which merchandise about 131,000 tons were capable of paying £5 per ton freight. To Ceylon, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, in the same line were exported 57,563 tons of freight, of the declared value of £8,584,290, of which 35,000 tons were capable of paying £5 per ton freight, which, with adding cargoes to Singapore, Burmah, and a host of other Eastern ports, makes the total export for the present year about 600,000 tons, of the declared value of about £20,000,000 ; and of this about 180,000 tons were capable of paying a freight of £5 per ton and upwards. The overland route traffic and merchandise are not included in the above calculation. The Australian trade by the proposed branch line, which will be carried' front Ceylon to that remote region, will also contribute largely to the freight of the Great Eastern. The return freights from the Eastern ports, as shown by the same return, are of equal extent and value, and Would without doubt be much increased. The rough estimated freight from the East to Europe capable of paying (of course for the facilities afforded by the rapid voyages of the Great Eastern) £lO to £2O per ton is about 30,000 tons, and capable of paying from £6 to £7 per ton 50,000 tons, if tea in sufficient quantity could be had. That this will soon be the case is very probable, for the tea from Calcutta will, in a few years, form a large article of export, and the high qualities of the tea produced in Assam and the North-West Provinces are already charged a high rate of freight. This year the export of tea from Calcutta was 15,000 chests, and as soon as order is restored throughout India, probably the annual amount will be at least double this. 'thus, when forty-five days is known to be the time guaranteed by the Great Eastern for landing goods in India and China, instead of a doubtful 80 or 90, all this trade must naturally fall to her carriage. Thus, only calculating the probable amount of goods and passengers which might fairly be counted on each month, supposing her to run I ten voyages in the year, carrying 10,000 tons, at £5 per ton outward, would make in the year £500,000. Homeward, 10,000 tons each voyage, at £lO per ton, £1,000,000. Parcels out and home, at £3O per ton, £24,000. First-class passengers, at from £BO to £lOO each in the year, 6,000 out ward and 6,000 inward, £1,080,000. The same number of second•class passengers, at from £5O to £6O each, £660,000 ; and 10,000 third-class passen gers outward and homeward, at £3O each, would make the gross earnings of the ship for the year £4,080,000 sterling. This may be supposed an over-estimation, but it is based upon the traffic at present existing between England and her Indian possessions. The only question which is at all begged is that the ship will monopolise the whole of the trade in consequence of her great rapidity and the cheap rate at which she will be able to carry goods and passengers. Even supposing she only realises one half, or indeed one quarter of the estimated gross earnings, then it will be a fair annual revenue for a vessel costing altogether little over £240,000. PRICE 4 D . • STAMPED, SD. MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. At the usual meeting the Middlesex magistrates, held at the Court-house, Clerkenwell-green, yester day, Mr. Pownall in the chair, The report from the Finance and General Pur poses Committee stated that a loan of £20,000 had been raised at 4 per cent. on security of the county rate, .E 16,000 of which was to be applied to Colney Hatch Asylum, and £5,000 to the:lndustrial School at Feltham. There was a motion on the paper in the name of Mr. G. F. Young, on the subject of disputes arising between the coroners and the magistrates about the disallowance of fees in certain cases ; but when it wao called, Mr. Young was not present. The chair man said he regretted this the more, as the atten tion of the court might have been called to certain observations published by the Registrar-General, reflecting on the magistrates in their judicial capa city, in dealing with the coroners. The-CHAIRMAN also called attention to what had taken place in reference to a claim put forth by Mr. Wakley and a jury, to have a prisoner charged with homicide in custody brought before them. There had been for many years a dispute on this subject, but in this instance a new feature had been intro duced. An application had been made to the Home Secretary to order the . prisoner charged with this murder to be produced before the coroner and jury, and Mr. Walpole, in reply;said there was no - objection to the prisoner's being taken before the coroner while on the way to the police court. The prisoner was delivered into the custody of the police, according to the magistrate's remaad, and on the way to the police court they took him i n a roundabout direction to the coroner's inquest, so the responsibility was with the police, and not the prison officers. Mr. N. LAURIE sai4 he presumed it was not in tended to ask the - Home Secretary what Act of Parliament gave hint the authority to makesuch an order, but if he should be called upon to specify it, the right honourable gentleman, he thought, would be placed in a very difficult position to answer. The Home Secretary had no power to make any such order. The CHAIRMAN said that in consequence of what had now occurred, some magistrates might think that, as a matter of course, all applications for a prisoner to be taken before the coroner must be complied with. It was nothilig, of the kind, and the magistrates in performing their duty must well weigh the matter before they acceded to any such request. Mr. ROBINSON said the prisoner was given up to the police by the prison officer, in the regular way, on the expiration of the remand, and was then taken by the police to some place where an inquest was being held. The prisoner was not sent there by the magistrates, nor by their authority. They had to keep the prisoner in legal custody, and they had done so. Mr. N. LAURIE said the Secretary of State had no authority to make such an order, and had the man not been taken in due course before the magis trate there would have been an action for escape, and were the governor to obey an order to take a prisoner before the coroner while under a magis trate's committal, he would be dismissed. Lieutenant HILL, governor of the House of De tention, said the prisoner was not taken to the in quest by any of his officers, but by the police, and he should not have allowed him to leave the prison if the period of the remand not expired. The same course had been taken in the case of the foreigners lately charged with murder. Mr. N. LAURIE said the court had made an order upon the subject which must be carried out. The Secretary of State had n 9 authority to order other wise. The matter then dropped. Some ordinary matters were then disposed of, and the court adjourned. IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY.

Wright, Fulwood's Rents, Holborn THE MEMBERS FOR RUTLANDSHIRE ON PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. - The annual meeting of the Rutland Agricultural Society was held on Wednesday, at Oakham. At the dinner in the evening, the health of the County Members hav:_ng been given, The Hon. G. .NOEL, M.P., returned thanks, and proceeded to review the various political events which had occurred since their last meeting. On the question of Parliamentary Reform, he said he should be prepared to give any well-digested mea sure having for its : object the extension of the fran chise to certain classes in . this country his best consideration ; but he would . never support a one-. sided party measure, brought forward by a few for the purpose of aggrandising one class at the expense of another. Nor would he support such a measure as was shadowed forth by Mr. Bright in his speech at Birmingham, and which, if carried out, would destroy all that we in this country held dear—the Queen, the Lords, and the Church. (Cheers.) Such a measure would, he thought, be most distasteful to this county in particular, because if England were to be divided into electoral districts, and those districts received representatives in pro portion to population only, the most disagreeable results would follow. The hon. member for Bir mingham, Mr. Bright, was always holding up . America as a. model,. and would assimilate our institutions to those existing in, that country. Now there was no country Where so much real liberty was enjoyed in thought and action as it England. (Hear, hear.) In America, men were slaves to public opinion, and dared not express their senti ments freelyiind openly, as We o hero. He for one was not in favour of uprooting our institutions in the manner proposed by Mr. Bright; and he was very much surprised that he should have directed- his great abilities to such an unfortunate end as the stirring up of one class against another. (Cheers.) The present Government had promised a measure of reform. He hoped it would be no class Measure, but one framed to secure a better electoral body as well as a better representative body—(hear, hear)—a bill which, not destroying the bulwarks upon which the constitution rests, would improve so much of the act of 1832 as the increase of population, of - wealth, and of intelli gence may require. The Ron. G. H. HEATHCOTE, M.P., also re-. sponed, and after referring te some local topics came likewise , to. the question of Parliament - AT Reform. He said—We should consider, in the first place, how reform may affect the agricultural in terests of England. (Hear, hear.) We are likely, I suppose, tohave two Reform Bills—one from Lord Derby and one from Mr. Bright. It appears to me that Mr. Bright is likely to go too far even for his own party. ' I have the acquaintance of several good reformers—at least, in their opinion—and they seem to think that the hon. member for. Bir mingham is likely to go too far even for them. In truth, it seems to me that these ultra gentlemen do not altogether agree among themselves. They talk about others being illiberal, but I think they themselves generally look to " number one." (Laughter and " Hear, hear.") At Edinburgh, for instance, they have been adding a sixth point to the Charter, and they even say that they think they should have some more members for Scotland. Under these circumstances I think it behoves the agriculturists at least to consider what bearing the projected measure is likely to have upon their intefests.(Hear, hear.) Now, I have no doubt that from time to time reform is right and proper, and that at this moment there are classes who might most . safely be intrusted with the _elective franchise; and I think those who have the power should be ready and willing to share it with others who are proved to be capable of exercising it to the public and general advantage. That is the great thing to be considered. I should not vote for the bill that went furthest ? but that which seemed best cal- Culated to correct anomalies of the old one. I do not say that the number - of members might not very properly be 'enlarged. I should consider, however, that it was not removing an anomaly, but only in creasing one, if the bill took nearly all the members from the small boroughs, and did not give at least a share of them to the agricultural districts. (Hear.) Many of these small boroughs are situated in the centre of agricultural communities, and their own prosperity depending upon the prosperity of the sur• rounding-disteieta.it. they-_generally,reterre,,inen Win; hare your ineerests at heart. (Hear, hear.) At present the boroughs return a large share of mem bers ; but if you take from the small boroughs and give more representatives to the large towns, you would rather be increasing the anomaly. For we must remember that a county member does not only represent the county, but he also represents the boroughs contained in that county ; while a borough member only represents the borough with which lie is connected. (Hear, hear.) .In England and Wales there are 500,000 registered electors who vote for counties ' • and of these 100,000 claim for property situated in boroughs. Thus they influence the county elections to the extent of one-fifth; and that I think is hardly fair Of course this fifth is not spread evenly over the county. In Sussex, for instance, the town of Brighton can almost return the county members. I think, therefore, that if you take members from the smaller boroughs and give them to the larger ones, that would be most unfair. (Hear, hear.) If you take members from these small boroughs, I think . some plan should be devised whereby those members should not be given to town populations. (Hear, hear.) And what is the reason urged why town populations should have the most members? It is said that there i 3 much more intelligence in the towns than in the coun ties. Now, I utterly and entirely deny this. When I look around to see whom I am now addressing, I think it is most monstrous to tell me that they pos sess all the learning in the towns and that we know nothing in the counties. (Cheers.) When farming has really become a science—when farmers in order to make the most of their land, require a superior education, a, knowledge of machinery, and even an acquaintance with chemistry, I can say that at least they ought to have a fair and just share in returning the representatives of this country. in tile compact. In one case the agreement was broken by one of the " parties," and. when next his turn came for a selected lot his bidding was forced up £3. The lot consisted of some 160 blankets, which had previously been sold for £l9 or £2O, but the delinquent was forced up to £23, and then the hammer was allowed to fall. °lle commissioners remained in the saleroom some time an audible cheer following them as they retired to resume the , examination of the remaining ware rooms. The inspection of the various rooms occupied the commissioners till past two, after which they pro ceeded to examine the books and the mode of keep ing them. When the commissioners finished this portion of their labours it was too late hear any evidence, and the inquiry was adjourned till 12 o'clock this day. M. DE MONTALEMBERT AND THE F_RENCII PRESS. (Front the Tines.) Just as the prostrate adulators of arbitrary power have proved to their own entire satisfaction that the trial and conviction of M. de Montalem bert was wise, merciful, and just, imperiously. de manded by the wants and creditable to the exist ing institutions of France, the Emperor shows his sense of the success which has attended the efforts of his Apologists by annulling that iniquitous sen tence altogether, and restoring the illustrious pri soner to as much freedom as under existing circum stances it is the lot of any Frenchman to enjoy. We receive this information with an astonishment hardly less than tkat with which we learnt that it was the intention of the Government to pro secute at all, or with which we heard that, having undertaken this prosecution for the sake of a salutary public example, it had forbidden its own -press to give any account of the trial, 'and confiscated every English newspaper from which any of its incidents could be gleaned.' How singularly must that mind be constituted which could deliberately risk such a step, entertaining at the same time the utmost apprehension for its results, and, having done and dared all that it most feared to execute, could draw back at the moment of completion, and thus render its enterprise as futile as it was imprudent How are we to account for this sudden change of purpose ? The force of habit may go for something, for we are now accustomed to see the " iron will" of the Emperor undo what he has just done, and to be edified with the spectiCle of Imperial penitence. This is the third time within the last ten months that we have seen the Emperor of the French vo luntarily and solemnly retracting his acts. We have seen the French Colonels set upon us, and then flogged off like unruly hounds. We have seen the slave trade-supported by an armed force, and im mediately after denounced ; and now we see law, justice, and freedom trampled under foot in the case of M. de Montalembert, and the iniquity no sooner completed than annulled and disaVowed. No doubt there are those who will be loud in the praise of Imperial magnanimity. We shall content ourselves with the expression of regret that the Emperor should do so many things of which he is compelled immediately to repent. We lose confi dence in a will that is perpetually reversing itself, and are little edified by the tenderness of a COlL science that is silent till a deed again it which it should have been a warning has been committed. What can have induced the ,Emperor to reverse the sentence on M. de Montalembert ? Not the feeling of the nation, for he has purposely deprived himself of that mighty advantage which a Govern ment gains by studying the opinion of those among whom it is placed. France can have given no opinion on the trial of M. de Montalembert, for France has not been allowed to read it. There is no reason to suppose that sympathy for this elo quent writer and impassioned speaker has pene trated into the ranks of the French Army. We know of no influence capaple of approaching the throne of the Emperor and pleading the cause of liberty and justice with the slightest chance of sue. cess. We can therefore only adopt one conclusion. We believe the Emperor has not excluded himself from those means of learning the state of opinion on this side the Channel from whichhe has sO com pletely shut out his people. Surrounded by a police ire able at_sard from their chief to_plunge eVliole kingdom in ditrkness, protected behind hundreds of thousands of bristling bayonets, the voice of honest expostulation has reached the in most recesses of the cabinet of this king of men, and carried conviction, its, unwelcome companion, with it. France looked on' in silence, for she had no organs with which to speak, but the voice of England has made itself heard, and, though ex cluded from every one else, has found its way to the ear of the only man who could give effect to its pleadings and could profit by its warnings. We claim the release of M. de Montalembert from the unjust sentence with which he had been stricken as adding one more to the numberless triumphs the press of this country has achieved—as a gratifying proof how impossible it is for any man, however highly placed, however resolute, however irresponsible, to emancipate himself from the influence of his fellow-men. Why should the Emperor Napoleon regard the opinion of England? Above all, why should he condescend for a moment to listen to the voice of the English press ? Has he not eight millions of subjects by whose suffrage he reigns ? Has he not a countless army, the very impersonation of material force, drilled, disciplined, and. informed by the very highest intellectual acti vity ? Has he not silenced throughout France every tongue that would speak, every pen which would write, that which he might not wish to hear or read ? Yet even this man, so raised above his fellows, cannot exempt himself from the laws which makes mind nervously sensitive to the action of mind; he cannot prevail upon himself to shut his ears to murmurs which he cannot silence, or resolve to disregard criticisms which he may, if he please, shut out as completely from himself as from the meanest of his subjects. If he listens to us it is simply because he cannot help it. He has dwelt among us, he knows the independence with which English feeling is formed, and the openness with which it is expressed. He has striven to make his own will the only rule and guide of his actions, but he cannot do it. He is driven by a tendency which)fe cannot master to seek for a standard of right-and wrong external to himself,and that standard the man who has carried despotism over a civilised nation to an extent which the world has never witnessed before finds, after all, in despite of himself, in the honest voice of a free people Of course we also rejoice, for M. de Montalem belt's sake, that he has escaped the indignity and suffering which a week ago were prepared for him —we wish we could also add that by the remission of the sentence the whole effect of the proceeding was done away. The blow has, however, been struck. That scanty but brilliant literary class, the small and yearly decreasing remains of 30 years of eloquence, of literary and political life, had hitherto been respected by the hand of power, and, on the understanding, faithfully observed on their part, that they should abstain from political con spiracy and agitation, they were left the enjoyment of their saloons, their institute, and the pages of their literary periodicals. This state of things is gone by. The generous and humane toleration which, perhaps from some ineradicable feeling for the honour, the learning, the eloquence, and the consistency of the days before France was tame and mute, was extended to the relics of her statesmen and orators, has now been withdrawn. The fore most man among them has been stricken down with an ease which shows how vain is the slightest struggle ; the poor satisfaction of a last eloquent protest in favour of liberty is denied, arid France knows nothing of him but what is communicated in the dry formula of the sentence. Henceforth all that can be hoped for is the liberty to preserve a deep and mournful silence, to confide their opinions to none but tried and faithful friends, and to give up that literature which has been the solace of their misfortunes, lest in some moment of generous enthusiasm they should by praise of something free and noble be held to have attacked the existing Government of their country. Such is the career of despotism. Let no man who enters upon it think that he can set limits to himself or define the point to which he will not •go. Anger and fear, flattery, envy, and hate, the evil counsellors that ever wait on arbitrary pOwer, perpetually urge him onward. First, liberty of action is prescribed; then writing, except to order, is prohibited; speech becomes dangerous, and thought itself is hardl y free. The one is surrounded by an atmosphere of falsehood and deception, which first silences truth and then occupies her place ; the manlier virtues droop and perish, and the nation, which at first struggled in its fetters, loses the habit of poli tical life and thought, and sinks into apathy, igno rance, or desPair.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded, demonstrating his success and explaining the cause of it. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858. London: H. Bailliere, 219, Regent-street. LINE OF ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND HOLY HEAD. At the meeting of the Mersey Dock Board yester day, the following report on this important subject (prepared by the dock engineer, Mr. Hartley), was read:— " In accordance with the instructions of your committee on the 12th October, I now beg to lay before you further details relative to the carrying out of this project. I have had the line, which the telegraph has proposed to take, carefully surveyed, and submit herewith a skeleton plan showing the various properties and roads, and the names of the parties owing, or having charge thereof, through which the line will pass, which will enable your solicitor at once to give notice to those parties of your intention to erect the telegraph. It will be seen, on reference to this list, that we cross the pri vate properties of twelve parties alone between Holyhead and Birkenhead. With regard to the cost of constructing this line, I have sought the best information in my power to enable me N form an estimate, and have obtained tenders for provid ing and laying cables for that portion of it which will be submarine. In considering this subject, I have thought it essential that there should be two distinct lines of wires the whole distance between Liverpool and Holyhead ; and with this view I have formed my estimate of the cost. I have also come to the conclusion that the portion of the sub marine cable crossing the Mersey should be of as light a formation as it can be made, consistent with a proper degree of strength and stability; and I have been favoured with a sample of what I would pro and also a sample of a cable of immense strength and weight which has been proposed. The object I have in view is the speedy and easy restoration of the cable should anything go wrong therewith, which would be attained by the use of a light cable such as I propose, which might readily be lifted, repaired, and restored, in the course o: a day, or less ; whilst such an operation would be next to impracticable with a heavy cable. A second light cable might, moreover, be kept in hand, ready at any moment to be laid across the river, which would be speedily accomplished ; and the cost of the two would be under one-third of the cost of a heavy cable." The report was not immediately adopted, a week being allowed for members to familiarise them selves with its details. _ Mr. MoNDEL, the chairman of the Marine Com mittee, stated that by the adoption of the electric line, £4OO a year would be saved in the expenses for stations, and that with this amount and the contributions which would be received from the underwriters and other sources, £6OO annually would be obtained to meet the cost of the new undertaking.

Persons can be suited at the most remote part of the world by send ing one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a letter, and stating the distance from the eyes they can read small print with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by stating their age.

Observe-- opposite the York Hotel, Mr. ARMY CLOTHING COMMISSION. Mr. Selfe and Colonel French, two of the Army Clothing Commissioneri, were " engaged the whole of yesterday forenoon, and a portion of the after noon, minutely inspecting 'the stores at the Tower. Mr. Turner, m.p., the third commissioner, was still absent from indisposition. The commissioners were attended by Col. Daubeny, military inspector of clothing, Mr. Elliott, from Mark-lane, Mr. Eaton, the principal storekeeper, and several of his officials. Every room in the department was thrown open to their inspection, the sorters, exami ners, and superintendents explaining as they went along the various stages of routine through which each article of clothing has to pass in its disposal at the Tower. In the course of their rambles the attention of the commissioners was aroused by a noisy clamour proceeding from behind two walls of bales, and upon asking for an explanation they were told that the voices they heard were those of the bidders at a sale of condemned stores, which was then at its height. One corner of the warehouse had been partitioned off to convert it into an auction mart, and fabulous quantities of valuable but discarded stores were being rapidly knocked down to the highest bidder. The commissioners expressed a wish to see the sale, and forthwith they were hurried to the presence of a motley crowd of speculators, whose visages showed at a glance that they were of that restless race whose scattered members are supposed to be the greatest barterers in the world. It seemed as if the commissioners had suddenly come upon a commission of the old" clo" fraternity, but although their external aspects betokened anything but wealth, they were not slow to engage in competi tion for lots that ran up as high as £5O. Nor were the bidders confined to the ruder sex only, there were women with dark eyes and sable locks who were equally eager to make b arga i ns . Jacketed boys, too, were in the throng, who if not actually purchasers, were loud in their responses to the auctioneer's cry of " any advance ?" It seemed, in a word, as if the youth and age of Houndsditch were bent upon becoming customers of her Majesty. The greater number, of course, were of the middle class of speculators ; but there were several capitalists present whose diamond rings were fortunes in themselves ; and, no doubt, these are the lucky bidders to whom are knocked down the plumbs of such sales. The commissioners were recognised by some of the crowd, and were favoured with a cross fire of sarcasms, intended for, if not pointedly directed at them. There were re quested to observe that "the lots was gain' at werry good prices to-day ;" but the remark was ill-timed, as at that particular moment some thousands of blankets were knocked down at about 2s. 6d. each, which had originally cost the country 4s. 6d. Then appeared in some instances to be an understanding amongst most of the bidders as to which lots each should be allowed to secure, and repeated disputes arose when the hammer fell as to who had madethe final bid when purchases were made by parties not CIVIL SERVICE INQUIRY. Mr. Wilmot Seaton, of the Treasury, who, with Master Litton and Mr. Darley, Q.C., was chosen recently to inquire into the working of the Court of Chancery, has, at the desire of the Lord Lieutenant, just completed an investigation of the duties and salaries of the clerks connected with the Dublin police offices. Mr. Seaton has taken information with a view to ascertain whether changes, if any would tend to the more efficient working of these establishments, and whetherthe complaints respect ing the present salaries are well founded. LOLA MONTES. " The Countess of Landsfeld" is announced to lecture on " America and its People," specimens of whom, according to report, she means to exhibit at he Rotunda, on Wednesday next, all for the small hargc of half-a-crown. THE PROCLAIMED DISTRICTS OF DONEGAL. The district of eloughaneely—rendered noto rious by the attempt to assassinate the Rev. Mr. Nixon, by its sheep killing, and enormous false hoods—has been visited by a strong party of police iorthe past few days, for the purpose of collecting the tax levied upon it for the support of the extra force placed there for the protec tion of the orderly inhabitants. The amount due, about £250, was paid on demand, with a seeming good grace, by the bulk of the peopel, who have been represented as starving—as " ground to powder by cruel and oppressive landlords." The D aily Express states that out of a thousand applicants for free emigration to New Zealand Mr. Dobbs, on behalf of the sympathisers from that dis tant country, has selected upwards of 400 adults of both sexes to be sent off, and many others expect soon to follow. Mr. Dobbs flatters himself he has chosen . the best-conducted of the peasant-inhabi tants of the proclaimed district, and it is to be hoped they will prove themselves worthy of his confidence in New Zealand. THE MURDER OF MR. ELY. Mr. Hanna, stipendiary magistrate, has been transferred from Carrick-on-Suer to the town of Borris-in-Ossmy for the purpose of directing and aiding the police in pursuit of the assassin of the late Mr. Ely. Twenty additional police have arrived in the parish of Kyle, the expense of whose support will be levied on its ratepayers. The King's County Chronicle, alluding to the large subscriptions offered for the arrest of Delany, the supposed murderer of Mr. Ely, says : " All this money thus offered will not, we appre hend, induce a single hint which may lead to his capture, though his whereabouts and his haunts are known to several, who hypocritically affect to feel sorry at the death of Mr. Ely. Such are the influences which the Ribbon system exercises over the minds of the peasantry, who are taught by it to admire and approve of the execution of its bloody mandates, and to protect and succour the remorseless ruffians by whom they are carried out." THE TROOP SHIP BOMBAY. Her Majesty's ships Brunswick and Racoon, at Queenstown, have received o rders to wei g h and look after the troop ship Bombay. THE CAMOLIN ESTATES, COUNTY WEXFORD. These estates, formerly the property of Lord Mountnorris, purchased under the Encumbered Estates Act in 1852, were disposed of on Tuesday last. Ballnelor was bought for i,3,500 by Mr. W. Bolton. The manors of Monosota and. Rossmo nowe were set up at £90,000. Mr. Bolton bid £Bl,OOO. Mr. Tormey offered £82,000. The vendor bid £104,500. No advances were made, but it was declared the lot should be divided, and offered again for competition. A.I.DERSHOTT.—In this recently established and flourishing town, the principal inhabitants, alive to the im portance of such a building, have commenced the erectipn of a handsome and spacious market. On Friday, the 26th ult., the foundation stone was laid by Lieut.-Gen. Knollys, in the presence of his staff and a majority of the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood. At the close of the cere mony a handsome silver trowel, bearing an appropriate in scription, was presented to the general by T. P. Copeman, Esq. (Messrs. Copeman and Lacy, of Guildford and Alder shott), chirman of the market committee, in the names of himself and his co-directors. The Rev. James Bennett, of Aldershott, attended, and offered up an appropriate prayer. In the evening the general in command, accompanied by Colonel . Wood, C. 8.. Co*o iel . Kennedy, C. 8., Caplari Murray, R.E., ardt e Teneral's aide-de-4 amp, howl red the directorswith their presence at apublic dinner, held in t o a • memoration of the event, at the Royal Hotel, Aldershott, at which Captain Mangles, /CP., presided. THE INDIAN EMPIRE. It appears from the statement of a most intelli gent passenger, who has crossed the Atlantic no less than five times within the last fifteen months, that soon after leaving Cape Ra-r, the Indian Empire was sal-roam - Led I)3r a dense fog, to which succeeded the hurricane by which she was driven, or rather against which she struggled for upwards of three weeks. By the ' ac count of this gentleman, who kept a strict log, the Indian Empire did not sight a single sail from the Ist to the 21st, from which. we infer that she was driven out of the usual track of vessels crossing the Atlantic. It would seem by the evidence of the passengers that the weather was hazy, as well as stormy, that the captain was unable to take a solar observation during eleven continuous days. The Indian Empire behaved well during five days of tremendous_ weather from New York to Halifax, and made a very fast run from Halifax to Cape Race. The whom we are indebt e d for informationourlcaptain , e gives t o the highest Not character apasseng e r received to theouffiee.rs,and crew. any in jry Con sidering the s t orm , or rather storms, which the Indian Empire encountered, and the difficulty which all fast steamers must incur when stress of weather keeps them out beyond the period for which they are coaled, we think the passengers by and owners of this ship h ave reason- to be grateful to Provi dence, and in the next place to the skill and judg ment of the captain and officers. Indeed the whole crew and passengers behaved extremely well. The only matter which seems to have given a little dissatisfaction to some of the least reasoning part of the passengers was exactly that for which they ought to be most thankful to Captain Courtenay, viz., the husbanding of the provisions in case the vessel should have been out longer even than .she was. We understand that half rations need not, as it turned out, have been resorted,to ; but surely it was an act of wisdom on the part of the captain. Tde coast round Halifax is described as having lee.i literally strewn with wrecks. The figure he Lel of one vessel was washed against the Indian E spire and secured. On arriving at Dublin ves t rday evening the passengers were met by Mr. Lever, who happened 'to be in the neighbourhood, and a warm welcome, together with a good, supper provided by the orders of that gentleman, seemed to be duly appreciated. On the whole, we are in formed, that the passengers looked none the worse for the perils and the toils of their t • D 41. rip.— ti v , ? n Evening Mail. , , ~~
