ExtrAt from Minutek; of Consultation transmitted by the Government of Madras, on the kith May, 1858, to the late Court of Directors of the East India Oompany : The Government express their unanimous, strong, and earnest advocacy that all irrigation works which, on a com prehensive view of the wants of the country, may be deemed necessary to deyelop ,its undoubtedly great resources, be commenced at once boldly and on a large scale, be pressed forward throughout all times and under all circumstances, and be looked on, and be practically treated, as in feet they really are, as the most economical, because the most pro fitable, undertakings in which the Government could pos sibly engage. It is needless now again to bring forward the innumerable instances in which money ban in the Pre sidency been mo st advantageously invested i works. The proceedings of Government have, in this re spect, been only too desultory and vacillating, and it is confidently asserted' that India could be placed in a position to pay all her own expenses, and gradually dis charge her debt far more readily and speedily by a judicious expenditure than by any scheme of retrenchment or reduc tion.

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, otherr decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any 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 consciousOf having hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot v i o l a t e d without incurring, grievous penalties, and when be I V; i d fl o g c m n a c n e i r i ez regret s o u s c c ce p e e d n i e e s h ey d maya thy of m i t c i o g n a s t i e d d e , r a h t o e w s e t l h t 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 infirmity or functional ;lerangement t . o which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

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 big of bones." He tried all kinds of t hin g s 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 thanl2 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' fcd with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we y are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solel from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can p r oceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have fried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate - stre et, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. • r ~ //g ‘x Ma .h, 1858: Captain. Wilmot's company was engaged with a large body of the enem y ,-near the Iron Bridge. That officer found himself at the end of a street - asith only four of his men, opposed_ to a considerable body. One of the four was' shot th=ough both legs, and became utterly helpless. The' two,men liftedlim up, and although Private Hawkes was severely . wounded, Ito carried him for a considerable distance, exposed to the fire of the enemy, Captain Wilmot firing with the men's rifles, and covering the retreat of the party. - - Private J . Smith, Ist.Madras Fusiliers—For having been one of the first to try and enter the gatewayonthe northside of the Secundra:Bagh. On the gateway being burst open, he was one of the first to enter, and was surrounded by the enemy. He received a sword-cut on the head, a bayonet wound on the left• side, and a contusion from the butt end of a musket on the right shoulder, notwithstanding which he fought his way out, and con tinued to performs his ieduties for the, rest of the day. Electe d by the pnvate d the detachment, Ist Madras Fusiliers. Lieut. -Hastings Edward Harrington, Rough Rider E. Jennings, Gunner J. Park,. Gunner T. Laughnan, Gunner H. - M‘lnnes; Benghl Artillery—Elected respectively, under the . 13th ' clause _cif the Royal Warra nt. of the 29th of ry Janua, 1856, by the officers and non-commissioned of ors generally, and:by-the private soldiers of each troop or ba tery, for conspicuous gallantry at the relief of Lucknow, from - the 14th to the 22d of November, 1857. Lieutenant Hugh Henry Gough, I st -Bengal European Light Cavalry.--Lieutenant Gough, when in command of a party - cf HodsOn's Horse, near Alumbagh, on the 12th of November, 1857, particularly distinguished himself by his forward healing. in charging acrosa a swamp, and capturing two guns, although. defended by a vastly superior body of the enemy. On this occasion he had his horse wounded in two places, _and his turban cut through by swo rd cuts, whilst engaged in eombat with three sepoys. Lieutenant Gough also particularly diAinguished - himself, near Jells labad, Lucknow; on the 25th February, 1858, by .showing a brilliant example to his regiment, when ordered to char-e the enemy's guns, and by his gallan t a nd forward conduct, he enable& than to effect their object. On this occasion, he engaged himself in a series of single combats, until at length he was disabled by a musket-ball through the - leg, w hile : eharging . two Sepoys - with -fixed bayonets. Lieutenant Gough on this day had two horses killed under him, a shot through his helmet, and _another through his scabbard, besides /sanb severely wounded. Lieutenant Frederick Sleigh Roberts, Bengal Artil lery—Lieutenant Roberts' gallantry has on every occasion- been most. marked. On following up the re treating enemy on =the 2d of January, 1858, at lihoda gunge, he . saw in .the distance two Sepoys going away with' a standard. Lieutenant Roberts put spurs to his horse, and overtook them just as they were about to enter a village. They immediately turned round, and presented their muskets at him, and one of the men pulled the trigger; but fortunately the caps snapped, and the standard-bearer was cut down by this gallant young officer, and the standard taken possession of by him. He also on the same clay, cut down another Sepoy who was standing at bay, with musket and bayonet, keeping off a Sowar. Lieut. Roberts rode to the assistance of the horse man, and, rushing at the Sepoy, with one blow of his sword cut him across the face, killing him on the spot. WAR-OFFICE, DEC. 24.
