It has been a subject of Wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get The animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought sonic 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 arc forced to the concluSion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic 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 th 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. NO MORE PILLS NOR ANT OTnER MEDICINE.

STAMPED, 5D son's opinion alone has been allcrwed to weigh against that of Mr. Whitehouse in this important question. The directors have called to their aid several other gentlemen, all of whom have been for many years practically connected with the working- of telegraphs, and these gentlemen, after having severally made their tests, concurred with Pro fessor Thomson in stating that the variable fault referred to was the cause of the obstruction, and that it exists at a distance of from 210 to 300 miles from Valentia. Some days previous to the 13th of August the directors, feeling. convinced that Mr. Whitehouse was embarrassed bi - some practical difficulties in the nature or adjustment of his instruments, towards the solving of. which the assistance of some person experienced in the use of recording apparatus and the toiling of submarine cables would be valuable, desired that Mr.. Whitehouse and the company Should have the advantage of the aid in this respect of Mr. France, of the Submarine and Mediterranean Companies (a practical telegraphist of very long experience in the _testing a neworkin g of submarine • cables), in the hOpe that thereby the line would the sooner be available for public traffic. After considerable difficuty they obtained Mr. France's services, and on the 13th of August he left for Valentin., the directors having previously advised Mr. Whitehouse that he was coming. • Mr. France bore a letter of introduction to Mr. Whitehouse, signed by the chairman, at the request of the board, directing him to accept his aid, but, on his arrival at Valentia, he was prohibited by Mr. Whitehouse from entering the company ti pre mises, and on the same day the following telegram was addressed by Mr. Whitehouse to the Secretary of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, through the wires of the British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company : FROM THE GAZETTE OF YESTERDAY.

The size of the present conducting strand is too small to have worked satisfactorily even had the insulation been sound.

" I find that we. shall require immediately several more instrument clerks. Mr. France has arrived opportunely in this respect. With your sanction I shall be glad to engage him in this capacity. I cannot recognise him in any other. The adjust ment of receiving instruments at Newfoundland is now perfect by the detailed account from Law's, and at this en& no such difficulty has ever existed. The insulation of the cable at this end. is now the only source of delay." This message, proposing to employ Mr. France in the most subordinate capacity, was felt by the directors to be a gross insult to themselves and Mr. France. A meeting of directors was therefore summoned for the 17th of August, at which, after perusal and consideration of all the documents relating to the circumstances mentioned, a resolution was passed, intimating that as Mr. Whitehouse's entragement as a paid officer ceased on the successful laying of the cable, the directors desired to terminate his further connection with the company in that capacity. Mr. Whitehouse was summoned to town to attend the managing committee on the 20th, on which oc casion two members, and not one direct or onl y , as stated. by Mr. Whitehouse, were present. He_was questioned by the vice Chairman in the most gentle manner as to his reasons for acting as he had done, but instead of explanation or apology, he only dealt in a sweeping abuse of the board. and their proeeedings, and distinctly intimated that on any future occasion he should act in precisely a similar manner ; the committee, therefore, had no alternative but to hand him a resolution passed by the board on the 17th. As regards the statement contained in Mr. Whitehouse's letter of the Gth, that the President's reply to her Majesty was received at Valentia and recorded under his own patent, which he reiterates with some modification in his letter of the 15th, the following are the facts :—There is no evidence at present. as to the form of battery power used in transmitting the current from America, but at Va lentia not a. word could be recorded. through the cable by means of Mr. Whitehouse's apparatus at the time to which he alludes; and the directors have the evidence of the person there on duty, and by whom it was worked off, that as the words com posing that message came through the cable they were read off by means of the instrument invented by Professor Thomson. It svlo.i after those words had. passed through the cable, and after they had been so read from Pro fessor Thomson's galvanometer, that they were recorded by the clerk from one end of the room to the other, only on an electro-chemical marking ap paratus. This process was continually carried on with regard to other messages, andslips from the local recording being sent up to London without explanation, the directors were led to infer that the work had been performed by Mr. IVhitehouse's instrument, which was not the case. Indeed, notwithstanding an expenditure of some £13,000 in the department under Mr. Whitehouse's charge, the directors and shareholders have obtained no results in any way commensurate to those con fidently promised by him. It appears from the evidence of those engaged on the spot that from the hour when the cable was laid until the present it has not been possible for the currents from Newfoundland, when communi cated direct to his apparatus, to work off' unaided a single complete message, and it has been necessary, in consequence, to apply instead the apparatus of Professor Thomson, and these facts, in conjunction with the other matters of which they have had to complain, appeared, and do appear to them, to fully justify the course they have adopted.. Before concluding, it is the desire of the directors to communicate their views, so far as the present position of things enables them to judge, as to the state of the company's property. That a serious fault exists in the cable at some point ,between 200 and. 300 miles from Valentia cannot be doubted ; but as Mr. Whitehouse had established no . means of concerted. action between the Valentia and Newfoundland stations in case of difficulty, it is not altogether possible to say whether the entire embarrassment arises from the fault referred. to. They have therefore sent with full instructions one of the staff, and. they arc encouraged to hope that some communication may possibly yet be esta blished. through the cable for a time, even in its present state, and that so soon as the weather and other circumstances are such as to encourage the making an attempt with some chance of success to raise and repair the injured. part, it is not beyond probability that the existing cable might be ren dered permanently useful. It was hoped that by this time the undertaking would be in process of earning a dividend, by which its rank and position might be consolidated. This legitimate result has been postponed by adverse circumstances, but the directors, in spite of this piece of evil fortune, cannot remember other wise than with an honourable feeling of pride and satisfaction that the primary and ruling motive which actuated them and their brother shareholders in entering upon the first epoch of this great work was not altogether of a sordid or mercenary cha racter, and that one at least of the g reat ob j ects of the s h are holders has been fully successful. The means then supplied have proved that it is perfectly possible to communicate with America. By a careful adaptation of appliances available it would even seem comparatively easy to do so. The very first business message transmitted (that relating to the collision of the Europa) was one which was not only, in a pecuniary point, of great commercial 'consequence, but the news of safety which it conveyed to many an anxious heart must have caused. the advent of the Atlantic wire to be hailed with fervent blessing. Other messages of almost equal import have passed to the other side, and the result has been the establishment of one of those undying facts in the world's history which, though chronicled. with wonder at the present hour, will be the ordinary and expected event of future generations.—By order and on behalf of the Board. of Directors, GEO. SAWARD, Secretary. A new undertaking, to be called the National Bank of Australasia, has lately . been introduced at Mel bourne, the proposed capital being a million in 200,000 shares of £S each. Of these, it is stated, 180,000 (repre-, senting £900,000) have been taken up in the colony, and the remaining 20,000 (representing £100,000) are now offered for allotment in London. MANCHESTER TRADE itEPORT.—MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—The market is very firm again to-day, with prices rather higher than on last Tuesday.
