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, 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 wenderAti. The Horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a l'ew weeks had kamed no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows rt Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried of 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 A - 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, Newgate-street, London, for a Pamphlet which is sent post-free.

The essential object or this treatise is to main: out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities , and excesses, which have produced more misery in Yr,uth, 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 persona entertaining secret dorbts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being, ...• titled. - - - __ - It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring ' grievous penaltis, and wh wisdom and regret succeed the heyday or inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sing of their bitterness may be removed, and hew the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree or physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of sciente cannot apply a cure.

WELLESLEY. - KT These appeals are from orders of VicethatAllor Sir Richard Torin Kindersley, as to the validity of several incumbrances, mortgages, and charges granted by the viscount and earl over their respective estates in Ireland in trust to pay their creditors, and annuities to their children and Lady Mornington. Sir Richard Bethel, Q.C., resumed and concluded his argument for the appellant in these part heard appeals this morning. Mr. Rolt, Q.C., fellow;i1 on the same side. It is probable that the arguments will continue over several days. PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD, in Skibbereen, another had been a clerk in a brewery, at a salary of £lOO a year, but had been discharged some time before, in consequence of his employers becoming aware of his connection with the society. Another, :forty Downing, had been in the police force, but had lately kei.., a public house in Skibbereen, and was deprived by the magi strates of his licence last October, for being a member of the society. The others are all young men of about the same class in life, namely, well educated, respectable, and intelligent, and much above the rank of the common peasantry. What the nature of the evidence against them is has not transpired, but it seems they were examined before the Stipendiary Magistrate of the district, who committed them, after a strictly private investiga tion, to the County Gaol, and in addition to being charged as members of an illegal society, they are also accused of having been illegally drilling with pikes, gnns, and other weapons. They arrived at Bandon on Wednesday night, in charge of a party of police from the West, and, yesterday morning, a party of the Bandon p o li ce , un d er Head-constable Wright, escorted them by train to Cork, and they were conveyed in covered cars from the Cork station to the County Gaol.

GIPSY FUNERAL.—On Monday a novel funeral took place at Lantwit Cemetery, Neath—that of a gipsy woman, about 66 years of age, who died at an encampment of the tribe, about three miles from Swansea. The coffin was mounted in a farmer's cart, with the end sticking out over the front; the bier place a on the top of it, and a few women wedged in all around, one of whom very roman tically fainted When she got in sight of the churchyard. About 70 men and women followed, all Irish. The Rev. Mr. Hughes, curate, real the burial service, and all the men uncovered and looked on as reverently as any other people would, except a few "*Whisht-now," "Order,' " Hould yer noise, will ye," &c. Many of the party had come 12 and 14 miles to attend the funeral—some from Llandilo and below Carmarthen. The reason assigned for the corpse being brought to Neath was this, that some of the deceased woman's generation were there.—Stonsea Zerakl, ROLLS' COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) BARNARD V. CAVE-JUDGMENT. The contention in this case was, whether the plaintiff, on a verbal agreement, was entitled to a written contract of lease for 14 years of a public-house free 9f a spirit license. His Honour, tho Master of the Rolls, on considering the affidavit produced, was satisfied that a lease with a beer license only was all that was intended to be granted. His Honour said that the contract of lease would be pre pared at chambers if the parties did not settle it, but he hoped the parties would arrange it themselves Costs to be paid by each party. SINNOT V. FULLER. His Honour, the Master of the R )11s, in deliver.. ing judgment, said I have looked into the evidence in this case, and I find that the real cause of contention is the amount that the mortgagee in possession has to pay the mortgagor. He says £B5O is all that was due , and upon an accounting £5O additional is found to be due. And then comes the question of costs. I must adopt the principle laid down by Lord Langdale, in cases where the result of the disputed accounts is trifling, to make each party pay. their own costs, because each dis puted item would become a suit itself.—Decreed ac cordingly. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) AGENT AND PRINCIPAL-CORNISII V. BROOXMAN. Mr. Beard appeared for the plaintiff, who sought to re cover a sum of L 5 3s. id. twice paid. The question involved is of considerable importance to ale mexclaitile.pmmunity, _ as the following evidence will show : 'Upon a certati day a traveller, named Smithers, employed by defendant, called upon plaintiff for an order, and duly received one. This order was executed, and the goods and invoice were e.C.. livered to plaintiff in the usual manner. A short time elapsed, and then Smithers called for the amount, £5 33. ld., which was paid him, and for which he gave the customary stamped receipt, signed with his name for his employer. This was about the middle of July. On the 29th of the same month defendant himself called, and applied for £5 3s. ld. Plaintiff's books not being posted up, on referring to the ledger he found the amount entered as unpaid, and accordingly gave defendant his-money, and received back defendant's own receipt. After his departure, something struck plaintiff he had already discharged the account on a previous occasion, and, referring to his books, he found that it was so. He immediately communicated with defendant, and, after many futile endeavours to get back his money, took out the present summons. Defendant contended that plaintiff had paid this money to his own loss. He had no authority to pay Smithers, who was merely an agent for the collection of orders. Mr. Beard called his Honour's attention to the fact that, hrd defendant been anxious to have denied Smithers' autho rity, he would have marked upon the invoice, " Pay no one but our Mr. So-and-So," or, " Our Mr. So-and-So will call in due course." Nothing of the kind was done, and plain tiff was entitled to his money. His Honour thought he was too, both in law and in jus tice. He had parted bona fide with his money, and was entitled to a verdict. Verdict for the plaintiff, with costs. POLICE INTELLIG_ENCE.-(TRIS DA F.) 3 IARLBOROUGH-STREET. "BBOWN, JONES, AND ROBINSON."—SINGULAR CASE. —George Blackman, butcher, Newport-market, John Arnold, ham and beef shopkeeper, Brewer-street, and James Arnold, James-street, Oxford-street, ham dealer, were charged with being drunk and disorderly. The case created great interest in a crowded court, from the fact that two of the accused had been to the station to complain of the conduct of the constable who had taken them into custody. Mr. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the accused. Winters, 115 C, said he heard the accused in Brewer street that morning about 2 o'clock, making a very great noise. Told them they had better go indoors, if they wanted to make a noise. Blackman said, "If you wait a bit I'll give you some goose," and that he (the constable) was "waiting to commit a robbery, like the D man." James Arnold then said, " No, give him some rabbit pie." Wit ness went round his beat, and on returning found two other constables try ;ng to remove them. Cross-e:zamined—Was not put out because of the re mark about the rabbit pie. Did not say he knew the ac cused as " street walkers." Had heard one of the Arnolds had been to the station to complain of him. John Arnold said, " All the thieves shall not take me." Saw them get into a cab and told the man to drive to Vine-street station. They did not call the cab. Blackman was very drunk, the others not quite so bad. Sayles, 116 C, proved seeing the accused making a ter rible noise, and said he heard them a quarter of a mile off. Mr. Inspector Bowles. of the C division, said that the amused John Arnold came to the station and said he wanted to complain and have protection against the whole C division. Told him to come when sober, and ho would listen to him. On their afterwards being locked up in the cell, John Arnold hammered at the door and made a ter rible noise. _ _ Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate at great length on behalf of the accused, saying that he was instructed that the reason for them being locked up was that the constable had felt his dignity hurt by the re mark about the rabbit -pie. He was also instructed that two of the accused were not drunk, and call d Mr. Thomas Baker, of the Crown, Brewer-street, who said that John Arnold was a "little on," but the others were not drunk--only elevated. They were the worse for drink. • Bingham said, if he was in the witness's trade, he should say the " better " for drink. Mr. Inspector Webb said they were bailed out by another publican, at whose house they had spent some time. Wilson, a cab driver, was called, and on getting into the witness-box, said he wanted his fare. He was called by the accused to take them to Vine-street station, as they said they wore going to complain of the constable. Mr. Bingham said he was quite satisfied with the case, and that the constable had spoken the truth. With ordi nary drunkards ho only imposed the fine of 55., but with persons of the accused's station he should deal differently, and fine them 20s. each. LONDON CHARTERED BANK OF AUSTRALIA.— At a meeting of this company held yesterday, Mr. Duncan Dunbar in the chair, a dividend for the half-year ending in June was declared at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free o 7 income-tax. The discussion turned almost entirely upon the question of increasing the distribution by an additional 1 or 2 per cent. Two proposals were made for that object :—the first involving a reduction in the £lO,OOO, to be appropriated to the reserve fund, and the other lessening the amount to be carried forward. In explanation o the course recommended by the board, it was stated that the available balance arose not merely from profits in 1858, but also from sums realised in 1856 and 1857, and that the difference in interest, from the low value of money, will probably affect the earnings of the succeeding half-year to the extent of £3, 000 or £4,000. With regard to the reserve fund, a list of the reserves of the various local banks was read, by which it appeared tliat in this point the London Chartered of Australia contrasted unfavourably with the others, and that the proposed appropriation was therefore desirable. The explanations of the directors were considered perfectly satisfactory to the great body of the meeting, au amendment to increase the dividend obtaining only nine supporters. In answer to a question it was mentioned that interest is still allowed on deposits, the London Chartered being obliged, however unwillingly, to follow the practice of its competitors. • THE CIVIL SERVICE.—WAR DEPARTMENT.

James Watt, the fourth child of Mr. Watt, of Greenock, son of the " old mathematician " and of Agnes Muirhead, " a braw, braw woman—none now to be seen like her," was born on the 19th of January, 1736. Of weak health and precocious talent, at six years of age it was no uncommon thing to see him draw mathematical lines and circles, " marking in letters and figures the result of some calculations he was carrying on." At fourteen his conversation was found too in tellectually exciting for a friend and contem porary of his mother's. At fifteen he was scolded by his aunt Muirhead for idleness in watching and experimentalising on the steam rising from a tea-pot ; while at about the same age, " he made himself a small electrical machine, and sometimes startled his young friends by given them sudden shocks from it." Few scientific men have been more variously capable than Watt. It seemed as if he might have succeeded in any branch of science, speculative, mechanical, or experimental, to which he had chosen to devote himself. He was an excellent carpenter, as good a chemist and physiologist as the times and his profession allowed, a working mechanic of extraordinary ability, an engineer, mathematician, musical in strument maker, mathematical instrument maker, a geometrician, astronomer, and one of the greatest inventors the world has ever seen. For though his name has been usually associated only with his famous improvements in the steam-engine—" that giant with one idea," as Coleridge called it—he either sketched out or more vaguely foresaw very many of the more modern inventions and disco veries which have revolutionised society quite as much as this has done. Of these a copying machine, the screw propeller, a machine for drying linen, the consumption of smoke, heating rooms by steam, the theory of the compound character of water, a proposed uniformity in weights and measures based on the decimal system, pneumatic medicines or the treatment of lung disease by in halation, a machine for copying and reducing sculpture, with others of minor importance, were sketched or imagined by him. Some were put into crude action, others only prophesied of as possible, and to be turned up in the future track of science. He also introduced into England and extensively carried out Berthollet's invention of bleaching linen by chlorine, to which we now owe so much of textile beauty. But his great dis coveries were the various improvements he effected in the steam-engine. This was " the weak side of nature which he found out and took advantage of ;" as he said every one might do if they chose.— Literary Gazette. IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. MADAME LOLA MONTEZ. The news of this day is all about Lola Montez. Nothing else is spoken of. She has created quite a furore here. Last night she effected a triumph, as they say in the theatrical world. A few pre- • liminary notices in the newspapers that the " Countess of Lansfeld" would deliver a lecture at the Rotunda sufficed to attract the largest audience which has appeared in the great room of that building for many years. It is capable of accommodating about 1,600 persons comfortably; but there was little room left for comfort last night. Every available spot was paeked. The lecture was announced to commence at 8 o'clock, but long pre viously the doors were shut against the incoming throng, the ticket-takers hallooing out, "Full, full. " The platform, which was set apart for the holders of "reserved" tickets, which by the way cost 3s. each, was just as densely packed as the body of the room, to which access was obtained for half the money. There were but very few ladies present; in fact, it 'was nearly altogether a " gentlemens' party." At half-past 8 o'clock Madame Montez made her way to the platform, and after a round of applause proceeded to deliver her lecture " On America and its People." She was listened to throughout with marked attention. The composi tion was not without interest, and many passages called forth laughter and applause. In the n course of her lecture she insisted on the foll y of Americans trying to igno re the p ower of the stranger, and cited official records to show that in the public employment the foreign element was establishing its power. The lecture was chiefly directed to showing her views of the social condi tion of the native and the immigrant races, and to defining, by illustrations of life in America, the distinction between iolitical and social equality. Her delivery is animated, distinct, and pleasing. MURDER IN KILKENNY. The local papers of Kilkenny report the follow ing " "We regret to state, on the authority of a well informed correspondent, that a horrible murder was committed on Monday morning in Urlingford, the result, it is stated, of a family difference, and the fatal wound being inflicted, as is suppos ed, by a near relative. The unfortunate victim was An old man named Glenn, who resided with his daughter and son in•law, and was in the employment of Mr. P. Coyne, Urlingford. It would seem that the son-in-law, before his marriage with Glenn's daughter, had had a child by some other woman, which was sent home to him shortly after the wedding, the result of which was a continuous scene of family bickerings. On Mon-' day morning the old man went home to - his break fast from work, and shortly after an alarm was given and he was found by the neighbours to be in a dying state, from violence inflicted on his person, sup ctahthatolic the clergyman mex pired posed to have been the result of the quarrel with his o son-in-law. iefn-olrae the w . It Roman isstated could reach the house although he was imme diately sent for. The supposed murderer is, we believe, in custody ; but as an inquest was to be held yesterday by W. J. er , h a , F :sq., county coroner, we reserve the further details which our correspondent has supplied till they are authenti cated." " THE APPRENTICE BOYS AT DERRY."

THE LIVERPOOL CRINOLINE AFFAIR.—The trial of Mr. Huntingdon, corn and flour merchant, of Liverpool, for cutting a young lady's crinoline, was resumed and con cluded yesterday before the local recorder. The court was again crowded, and when, after two hours' deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of acquittal, loud and prolonged cheers resounded through the great hall where the trial took place. Mr. Huntingdon, on leaving the court, received A complete ovation. ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE, ADDIS- COMBE. Yesterday the public half-yearly examination of the gentlemen cadets of her Majesty's Indian forces took place .at the Military College, Addiscombe, in the presence of the Right Hon. Lord Stanley, her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for India ; Sir George Clerk, K.C.8., Under-Secretary of State ; Sir Frederick Currie, Vice-President of the Council ; and most. of the members of the Council, including Sir James Hogg, Bart., Sir Henry Mont gomery, Bart., Major-General Sir Robert Vivian, K.C.8., Colonel Sir Henry Rawlinson, K.C.8., Colonel Sir Proby Cautley, K.C.8., Messrs. Mills, Macnaghten, Eastwick, Willoughby, Arbuthnot, the Public Examiner and Inspector of Studies, Major-General Sir Frederick Smith, K.H., M.P., Major-General Sir Frederick Abbott; C. 8., the Lieutenant-Governor, the several professors, and a number of visitors. Amongst the latter were the Rev. Sir C. Furnaby, Bart., Admirals Casy and Trotter, Lieutenant-General Sir George Pollock, G.C.B. Sir Charles P as l e y, K.C.B. ; Majors- General Sir Harry Jones, K.C.8., Cameron, Sir Edward Lugard, K.C.8., Portlock, Hancock ; Colonels Russell, C. 8., Sandham, R.E., Bambrigge, Willoughby, C. 8., Elwyn, Addison, Lefroy, Hogg, Abbott, C. 8., Durand, C. 8., Wilde, C.it., Ross, R.E., Simpson, Green, Morris, Harington, Baker; the Rev. J. Coles ; Messrs. Spencer, Heaiiside, Chalmers Vinter, Beadon, Pierson,- Glass, Camp bell, Hawkins, Sandoz, Plowden, &c. Lord Stanley and the greater part of the com pany arrived at the College about half-past ten o'clock, and soon after proceeded to the examination hall, where the cadets were examined in the different branches of fortification, mathematics, &c., by Sir Harry Smith, the public examiner. This part of the business having been brought to a close, Mr. Caebear.e read the relY)rt of the public exa miner and inspector of studiei, which stated thrit -15 cadets were brought forward for examination, and of this number six were reported to be qualified For the Engineers—Wm. 11. Pierson, George Strahan, Barre John Goldie, John Pennycuick, Charles A. Sim, Henry Doveton. Robert M'Leod Hawkins (iEgrotat) . was reserved for the Engi neers hereafter. For the Artillery—John W. Taylor, James A. Sutherland Colquhoun, Samuel Swinton Jacob, Walter Ernest Forbes, Francis W. Major. For the Infantry—Francis 'N. Collis. Lord Stanley then distributed the following prizes : until they get acquainted, a certain repugnance shall exist, so it is equally certain that by better knowledge will that repugnance be dispelled. (Cheers.) Were I addressing you this time last year, I should have addressed a word of caution against the popular absurdity—for it is no less—of imput ing to one hundred and fifty millions of mankind a participation in the atrocities of a few criminals and fanatics. But that sort of feeling is over in England—it has almost come to an end ;we are free from the influence of passion, and we have learnt to recognise in men like Scindia, like the Rajah of Puttealeh, like the Nizam and his minis ter of Salais, like Jung Bahadocr—aye, and like the gallant native recruits who have fought side by side with the Europeans, with no unequal courage, against rebels and mutineers, the possession of manly qualities that may make us well content to recognise them as friends and supporters of British power. (Loud cheers.) I have spoken to you as men who aspire to, and all are prepared to struggle for, the highest prize of life, and I hold it needless to warn you against the vulgar temptation of indo lence, or extravag-ance, or pleasure. Others will tell you, and I believe it will not be in vain, how the brightest prospects may be clouded, and the most vigorous energies impaired by debts hastily contracted, and not for long years shaken off. Others will warn you that you are one of the few among the many, and I think you will take the warning that in a climate not naturally congenial to Englishmen the connection between even a slight violation of temperance and disease of body and mind is far more invariable and certain than at home. I add only this : Remember (though to some of you it may have a startling sound) that for an European in India there is, strictly speaking, no private life ; he is one of the ruling race—the few among the many—one of a population so:ne ten thousand strong among more than one hundred millions. Thera -are,,_ little 4s _he may t know° or care about it, ) . tlick eyes to watch his conduct, and envious tongues ready enough to disparage his nation and his race. This is not merely a personal matter. A single officer who forgets that he is an officer and a gentleman, does more harm to the moral influence of this country than ten men of blameless life can do good. To you, therefore, in more senses than one, the honour of England is committed ; you are the representa tives not only of our military strength, but also of our national character. You go forth from,a col• lege which has trained through a long series of years many of the ablest public servants whom the empire has ever produced. I hope that its per manence and its prosperity may be equal to its deserts ; that you, its latest representatives, may be worthy of those who have gone before, and that among the names of those whom I address, some names, at least, may live in the records, not only of this college, but of the country, connected with honourable exploits of war, or with the glory of skilful and successful administration. I wish you God speed, and I believe that whatever may hap pen you will do your duty. The noble lord sat down amidst loud cheering. The company then proceeded to inspect the models and drawings, which were of the usual character. Lord Stanley and the visitors afterwards retired to the official residence of the Lieutenant• Governor, Major-General Abbott, where luncheon was pro vided. The day's proceeding appeared to give general satisfaction. THE SECRET SOCIETIES-ARRESTS IN BANTRY AND SKIBBEREEN. (From the Cork Examiner of Friday.) Those towns were, on Tuesday and Wednesday, made the scene of considerable excitement, arrests having been made of several respectable parties for au alleged connection with some secret political or ganisation. A correspondent in Bantry informs us that on Tuesday night a mounted policeman arrived in that town from Skibbereen, at about 8 o'clock, when, immediately after, all the police who are n ot . laid up from over duty, turned out, with fixed bayonets, and proceeded to the rooms occupied by the Young Men's Society. Two young men named M'Carthy and Cullinane, who were reading in the room, were then arrested. The police then proceeded to the house of a widow Sullivan, and, it is stated, refusing to assign any reason for their conduct, arrested her eldest son. On Wednesday morning the parties were sent off at daybreak to Cork Gaol, escorted by a large force of armed police. All these young men, who are abouttwenty years of age, are exceedingly respect able in their line of life as shopkeepers, and bear most unexceptionable characters. Our correspon dent refers to some smashing of glass and burning of a small quantity of hay in that town, and gives an explanation which throws rather a ludicrous light upon the importance assigned. However, as the matter is likely to become the subject of legal investigation, we should prefer not entering further into it for the present. Another correspondent sends us the following in reference to the same subject : SUPPOSED SECRET SOCIETIES IN BANTRY-THE GOVERNMENT PROCLAMATION-ITS FRUIT- ARRISrs. BANTRY, Tuesday Night, Dec. 7.—The truth of your judicious and truly excellent recent articles, on the re3ults of secret organisations, has been fully and painfully illustrated to-night in this peaceable little town, by the unexpected arrest of three re spectable young men—boys I should rather say, as the 01de:A cannot have attained his twentieth year. They have been arrested on sworn informations made, it would appear, by some fellow, who is stated to be at present in safe keeping in Cork. The parties arrested are—Messrs. Denis Sulli van, Jeremiah Cullinane, and Timothy M'Carthy, all members of respectable families of the town, who have been thrown into a state of the greatest terror and affliction by a proceeding so summary and unexpected. Report is that fourteen other arrests of a similar nature were to-day made in Skibbercen also. It appears that all will be removed early to morrow to Cork to undergo examination there in the course of a week, before some tribunal or au thorities constituted for this special purpose. It is said they will be detained in Cork Gaol (bail being refused) until the assizes. It is to be hoped that the suddenness and unpre paredness of the measures adopted will not be un fairly availed of, to their prejudice, by depriving them of the advantage of competent legal assistance. Of their guilt their nearest friends here. it appears, are unaware, and utterly disbelieve that they have in aught committed themselves in any manner to justify these proceedings. I enclose my name, in confidence, and remain, dear sir, your obedient servant, A BANTRY MAN. Wednesday Morning.—l open this letter to say that the parties were sent off to Cork at a very early hour Ijiis morning. SKIBBEREEN. From Skibbereen we have th . 3 following : SKIBBEREEN, Dec. 8, 1858.—Our town this morning presented an unusual appearance indeed. Numbers of our respectable fellow-townsmen and women may be seen with hurried steps and palpi tating hearts running to the police barracks, several arrests having been made during the night ; 12 were arrested in their beds—all young, respectable, though misguided men. They have been forwarded on three coaches to Cork Gaol, under a strong police force under the command of Sub-Inspector Potter. They were arrested on warrants signed by Mr. Fitzmaurice, R.M., on, it appears, an information sworn by a man named Sullivan, from Kenmare, son to a person, it is said, in W. S. Trench's em ployment, and sent specially to become a member of the society to enable him to betray his associates. As far as vI can learn, the parties arrested are Dan M'Cartie, jun., Jeremiah Donovan (Rossa), John. Stack, jun., M. Moynahane, Patrick Down ing, Eugene M'Carthy, M. Downing, Jerh. Driscoll, John Shea, and others whose names I did not learn. Immense crowds gathered round the coaches as they left, and, strange, they were loudly cheered by the people, men and women, until out of sight, the prisoners themselves joining in the cheer. No one here believed in any serious conspiracy, nor do many yet. Your articles on the subject were very good. There is to ba a further examination of the pri soners in Cork on the 14th. FURTHER PARTICULARS. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) Yesterday fifteen young men, twelve from Skib bercen and three from Bantry, were handed over to the Governor of the Cork County Gaol, on a charge of being connected with an illegal society called the " Phoenix Club." Their names are : Morty Downing, Jeremiah Donovan, Morty Moynahane, Daniel M'Carthy, Jeremiah Dris coll, Eugene M'Carthy, Denis Downing, Timothy Duggan, Patrick Downing, James Stack, Thomas O'Shea, William O'Brien, Jeremiah Cullinane, Denis Sullivan, and Timothy M'Carthy. Three of them were, at the time of their arrest, clerks to a well-known solicit:r of high standing ill skibbereen, another was a national gehool teacher FIRST CLASS. IV. H. Pierson—The Pollock Medal, Ist mathe matics, 2d fortification, 2d military drawing, Ist surveying, and 2d civil drawing, Lord STANLEY, in presenting the Pollock Medal, said—Mr. Pierson, I have the greatest pleasure in presenting you with the Pollock Medal, which is the highest honour this college can bestow. It was established in commemoration of the illustrious ser vices of General Sir G. Pollock, and I hope his bright example will stimulate you to follow in the same course. You have earned this distinction, and lam told by Sir Frederick Abbott that you have com peted successfully with those who are members of a senior term, and Sir Frederick has spoken of your conduct in more than ordinary terms as being emi nently distinguished. This medal you have fairly won, and I hope it may be but the prelude of more important and brilliant success in a wider field. George Strahan—First . good c,oinsdtumctil(ittlaieryswdorardw): w n. ing, Ist Hindus ti2nadngmathematics,2ldst photography, surveying, 1 s tlfso and fortification, l a L t d i ar o ta n i Lord STANLEY, on handing Mr. Strahan the sword, said he had entitled himself to it by his good conduct, for during the whole time he had been at Addiscombe he had conducted himself equally with diligence and ability. Robt. M'L. Hawkins—Second good conduct. John IV. Taylor—Second Hindustani. J. A. S. Colquhoun—French. IV. E. Forbes—Second photography. SECOND CLASS. E. L. Marryall—Fortification. H. C.

Riddell—Fourth good conduct, mathema tics, fortification, isurveying, civil drawing, and Hindustani. A. D. Grant—Military drawing. J. Cruikshank— French. M. Saward—Latin. Lord STANLEY then addressed the cadets to the following effect—Gentlemen Cadets :—I feel myself highly gratified, as all must who have an interest in this college, at the very satisfactory report we have received of this institution. I have, in com pliance with an old custom of this time and place, to address a few words of counsel and good will to those who are about to enter on their career of service in India. It is a task which I willingly undertake, and yet one which at the present moment may seem almost superfluous, for to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, the events of the last tyro years have spoken., and will speak, with far more force than any words of mine. Ido not refer to the political or social causes of the insurrection which has taken place : wah that we have nothing to do. What I mean is this—that the great lesson we have received must impress on thoughtful minds more strongly than ever was impressed before the peculiarities of the position which an Englishman, and especially an Englishman in military or civil employ, now occupied in the East. Everything in Asia—public safety, national honour, personal reputation—rests on the force of individual character. In Europe law and routine are the limits of personal action, for society is stronger than any man in it. In India, in military life, particularly, incompetency is never perma nently safe from detection ; and valour, with perseverance, need never despair of an opportunity. You have lately had a memorableinstance of what I say in General Havelock, who, when the insurrec tion broke out, was a man of advanced years—his life had been in services duly and st rictly performed but comparatively obscure ; and two years ago, neither himself nor his friends could have antici pated that he would take a place in history. (Cheers). He sought only to do the work that lay before him. Distinction was long delayed—it came unsought for, but it came at last. (Renewed cheer ing.) Somewhat similar was the career of Sir W. Nott, the able general who retrieved. English hon our in Affghanistan. He was for thirty years en gaged in ordinary service, in which military genius found no scope, but late in life lie was selected for the command of the army in Affghanistan, and you know the result. I dwell on this, because I know that in the life of those who serve the State abroad there arc .apt to be moments of despondency, per haps caused by exile and climate, when exertion seems vain and success hopeless, and when even active and enterprising men shrink from the labour of qualifying themselves for a position in which they may never be placed. If it should chance that in such moments—for to you such may come—any word that I now utter should recur to your minds, remember this, that you arc only passing through the trial which is common to all who encounter the hazards of your profession, whether abroad or at home. Remember that_that most valuable pub lic servant, Lord Metcalfe, who reached the highest posts of Indian and colonial administration, once wrote back from India entreating-to be allowed to give up the scivice for which he felt no taste, and in which he had no hope of 'success. 'Remember that, if common report be not unfounded, the most illustrious soldier of English history, the Duke of 'Wellington himself, in the early period of his life, contemplated abandoning the profession in t which he despaired of advancement, and seeking employ ment of a different kind. And bear in mind that when the time of trial arrives—as arrive it will to those who can work and wait—a few months, a few weeks, even a few days may suffice to build up the edifice of fame and success for which the whole of your previous life has been training. (Loud cheers.) But such chances occur only for those who can turn them to account, and for the highest suc cess even of a military life a merely military train ing is a very insufficient qualification. (Cheers.) No man, I believe, can be a really efficient general, far less an efficient administrator, who does not carefully study the human machinery with which he is to work, the pepple of the country in which he lives and acts. (Cheers.) Do not imagine that your work is more than begun when you have acquired the necessary qualification of language. Examine the native habits, examine native ideas, examine native characters, and you will gain at least this, even if yon gain nothing else, that you will avoid that ignorant and unwise contempt for all that is Asiatic, which personally and politically does Englishmen so much harm in the East. (Cheers.) You cannot live, however you may attempt, in a state of indifference to those who surround you. If you do not bear them good will, you will bear them ill will ; and as it seems the law of nature between different races of men, that
