It has been a subject of wonder, end 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 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 shorts at Birmingham, Cardiff, :ix., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's fool for mottle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to; t e conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its °wilt ainsic merits, and the Nreat 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 SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH.AND MATURITY.

(From the Continental Renkw.) There can be no question - but that the probability of Austria and France coming into speedy collision on the plains of Lombardy becomes every day greater. There are numerous stories current to show how open the separation between the two countries has become, and the Emperor, rarely as he allows his policy to be divined from his per sonal conduct, is said to have been much more explicit than usual when addressing Baron Hubner, the Austrian Minister at Paris. But it is not by the diplomatic differences of Emperors and Minis ters that the chances of an impending war are really to be calculated. The state of Italy is such that some explosion is sure to take place before long. The upper classes of the Lombards are now in a state of open disaffection, and numberless signs are given that the breach between them and theif masters is not to be bridged over, and that they are preparing to try once more the issue of a struggle. Austria answers their attacks with increased seve rity on her part, and the daily life of the two nations in Italy has become one unending series of petty skirmishes. The Italians have given up their favourite luxury of smoking, lest the tobacco duty should swell the Austrian revenue. The Arch duke could not give a ball on Christmas-day, be cause no one would go. Directly he appeared in his box at the opera the audience would have re tired en masse had not the police prevented them from quitting the theatre. On the other hand, Madame Itistori has been refused her passport for Naples because she is supposed, in the character of Judith, to have appealed to the patriotism of the Italians. The University of Pavia has been prac tically broken up, because the students were sus pected of revolutionary designs. Everything is ripe for an outbreak, and the most serious of all the symptoms is, that those who have most influence with the Italians promise their supporters that if they will but avoid partial and unconnected insur rections in the winter, they shall be rewarded with a great war in the spring. There is a definite time . fixed, until which the Lombards are asked to wait, and it will not be easy to hold them in any longer if the spring comes and they find themselves disap pointed. But we must not look only to the Lombards. The Italians might revolt and be crushed. Austria is not weaker than she was, and she has often come out the conqueror from an Italian revolt. But we must add to the interests of Italy the interests of France. There is nothing which Louis Napoleon could do which would hold out so great a promise of advan tage to him, as to quarrel with Austria, and assert himself as the champion of Italian independence. It would give occupation to his army ; it would take off the attention of the French public from the great difficulties under which the' empire is labour ing; it would give him popularity with the nation that is most prolific of the assassins whom he dreads; and it would help to throw over the empire that air of mock liberalism with which it is one of his greatest wishis to impart to the system with which his name is connected. It is also tolerably certain that Austria Pxpects war. A military council has lately been held at Venice, and it is supposed that this can have had no other object than to provide for the military defence of the country. The 'Arch duke has retired to the fortress of Mantua, and every possible means is taken to enable Austria to take the field with advantage. She has even taken the strong measure of compelling the Italian muni cipalities to buy the government buildings in the larger towns—a measure which can have no other object than that of ensuring the safety of these buildings in an insurrection, by making them the property of the insurrectionists. It is possible that the Austrians might be driven out of those towns, and then return to them if the tide of fortune turned. In this case they would find the advan tage of a precaution by which all the public build ings were kept safe by them. It must also be added that Austria refuses all concessions. She has only very lately created new feelings of bitterness in Lombardy by an increased severity in the laws of conscription. And generally throughout the Peninsula she will not permit any change in her own policy nor in the policy of those to whom she sets an example. This is more visible, perhaps, in the Papal States than elsewhere. The Papal Government is as bad as a government can be. It does not protect life or property ; it allows bandits to pillage the population almost openly ; it squanders money ; it represses all life, hope, and thought; it subjects all families of respecta bility to a constant, petty, tyrannical interference; it makes life a burthen to all who are fitted by nature, by sentiment, and education to turn life to useful and honourable ends. This state of things is maintained solely by the presence of foreign troops. It is said that France has recently offered to withdraw from the occupation, and to insist on some concession being made to the just• demands of the unhappy inhabitants of the States of the Church. But Austria would not agree ; the French may go away if they please, but she will stay there and keep things as they are. Austria, in fact, has no answer to any demand or entreaty, but that she will not yield or alter, and that if she is attacked she will defend herself. And if this is thought a dangerous and short-sighted policy, it must be re membered that it is not very easy for a nation like Austria to make the change that is required. She is bound up with the extreme Catholic party. To support clerical government, or even clerical mis government, is not only regarded as part of a traditionary policy, but as a private religious duty, by those who govern Austria. They would be yielding to the Evil One, favouring heretics, infi dels, and all the wickedness of the world, if they allowed laymen to govern priests, and revolutionists to beard authorities. Englishmen are so entirely without these feelings, they so utterly disbelieve in the claims on which clerical usurpation rests, they are so accustomed to speak their mind freely, that they hardly make due allowance for the sincerity and earnestness with which the dominant party in Austria clings to its belief. Even when we look merely to the secular policy of Anstria we may see how dangerous any manifestation of vacillation must be to her; her empire rests on success. There is nothing to bind her heterogeneous elements to gether except the consciousness of each of them that she is their stern, :! unalterable, unconquerable mistress.. In 1848 the Sclaves saved the empire because they thought it was a great thing and worth saving, a source of glory to them and tiftheir race. But if the Italians were humoured, they: would be supposed to be dreaded ; and if the em pire was afraid, it would sink in the estimation if its supporters. If war breaks out in Italy, what is England to do ? We think her course is plain. She could not think for a moment of actively aiding Austria, so long as the only question at issue was the freedom of Italy. As little could she think of taking part in the war as an ally of France. We have had quite enough of alliances in which France reaps the glory, and we have to find the money and do the hard worle The notion also, of England and France joining together to promote liberty is a chimera. If liberty in France means the empire, we cannot help to spread abroad a liberty so unlike what we mean by liberty. Nor can we again join France as champions of international law and of the rights of nations, Louis Napoleon has chosen to trample on international law, and to violate the first rights of independent nations, by his conduct towards Portugal. What England must do is to stand strictly neutral. If the Aus trians, as is possible, provided they are not threat- i ened by RusSia in their rear, succeed in holding their own in Italy, we shall pity the Italians most sincerely, but we shall have no call to If the Austrians are driven out of Italy, then will be the time for England to come on the stage, and to insist, in conjunction with Prussia, that the war shall not be carried into Germany, and also that Italy - shall be left to her own princes and govern ments according to their unfettered choice, and that'she shall not merely change her masters and become the . tool Of France instead of the slave of Austria. We Most.heartly wish that the struggle bet Ween Austria and the Italians could be delayed until France is free. We dread the effect of Impe rialism on the Italians after . they haVe•assuiried a . nominal independence. But we cannot disguise from. ourselves that it is hard for desperate men to Wait with ' the ' patience of a long-sighted policy. The struggle. .may .come . sooner than the best friends of Italy .could wish. If it does come it will be the part of those friends to counteract the evil effects of this precipitation to the utmost of their power. • STATE OF ITALY. (From the Daily News) " Austria must well know that from England she could expect no help in a war waged for the main tenance of her Italian dominions, and that no States- man, whatever might be his views as to maintaining the balance of power, would venture to make such a proposition to the popular branch of the British Legislature." This plain truth was stated in the Times of yesterday. We think it of some import ance to fix our contemporary with the explicit and unqualified admission of this significant fact. It is even so. English statesmen cannot, if they would, aid . Austria in Italy, for the simple and Sufficient reason that the English people will not consent to the expenditure of one drop of English blood or one coin of EngliSh money in the base attempt to rivet a foreign and oppressive yoke on the neck of a down-trodden people struggling to be free. We should like to see the English Minister who would dare to move war estimates for such a purpose as that. The thing is, so palpably absurd that even the Times, compelled for once to love truth better than Austria, has been moved, in terms the most unequivocal, to confess its impossibility. That much, then, is clear—that dream is gone—that bad hope has vanished into space. The diplomats and the balance-of power men will never be gratified by the spectacle of free and Protestant England fight ing side by side with despotic and Pope-rid den Austria, in order to crush out, under the hoofs of her old oppression, the resistance and the hopes of Italy. What, then, is the part which England is to play in that struggle of the nations which all signs announce to' be not far distant ? The answer to those who look with a single eye to the welfare of their country, is simple in the extreme. En g land has no part or lot in this strife. She cannot and she will not strike a stroke for Austria in Italy ; she need not, and therefore she will not, strike a stroke on the other side. If what all the aspects of the time announce should come to puss, if the cloud that now gathers over Europe should burst in war, English statesmen will have but one duty—the observation of a strict though of course a watchful neutrality. If, as we are confidently told, France and Russia are pledged to support Sardinia in the impending struggle, the aid of England cannot be required to increase the strength of such an alliance embarked in such a cause. The Italians are twenty-five mil lions, and the Italians have at length been crushed by despotism into an unanimity of hatred. Here, then, are the parties to the strife : on the one side, France, Russia, Sardinia, and a vast population impassioned by hate and panting for vengeance : on the other side, Austria, commanding no loyalty which she cannot coerce by her cannon, and safe in the possession of not au inch of territory which is not covered by her troops or contained within her fortresses. We are told that Austria will make a stout fight of it. No doubt she will. Her army is brave and well disciplined. Her garrisons are skilfully planted, and fortified with the utmost skill of whicli engineering science is capable. The spirit of her young Emperor is high ; that of her aristocracy proverbially elastic under discourage ment and defeat. Her history has been one long record of a national life tenaciously prolonged under disasters, and miraculously restored after ruin. No doubt Austria will make a sturdy fight of it ; but will lier resistance be so obstinate and prolonged that France, Russia, Sardinia, and the twenty-five millions will be compelled,before they can do their work, to ask England to fling her sword into the balance ? The very question is an insult to the prowess of the three Powers and to the spirit of the Italian population. Ne ; England cannot and will not draw the sword on behalf of Austria—she will not, for she need not, unsheath it on behalf of the enemies of Austria. Her line is absolute neutrality —her strength is to sit still. She has work to do at home from which our politicians and our diplo mats would only be too glad to call her away by raising the disturbing slogan of European war. Let us give no heed to this interested clamour. IlLp have had enough and too much of mere btirance-of-power wars. It is time that the world shook itself free from this costly nightmare of its rulers. We will not war in Europe for figments ; we will work at home for realities. We want to strengthen and complete that free polity which in itself and in its fruits is the first concern for us and for our children. We wish to see that freedom extended to others ; but we have deeply learned this lesson, that the only freedom worth having is that which men and nations earn for themselves. That which is conferred or imposed on them by others proves too often but a fatal gift —a veil of Creusa or a shirt of Nessus which dooms the wearer to convulsions and death. If twenty five-millions of Italians, aided by France and Russia, cannot shake off the yoke of Austria, no assistance which England can bestow will enable them to do so. In the apprehension of a calamity so terrible as a general European war, it is natural for all the friends of human happiness and human progress to desire that every available means should be exhausted be fore resorting to the actual arbitrament of arms. No doubt if the passions of princes were amenable to reason, and subordinate to an enlightened sense of their own interest and that of their people, the question of Austrian domination in Italy might be an eminently fit subject for a European Congress. If the condition-of-Italy question, as submitted to the Paris Conference by Count Cavour, had really been entertained by that Parliament of the Nations in a spirit worthy of its paramount importance, much evil that now presses upon us might have been avoided, and many imminent dangers have been averted or postponed. The mode in which the subject was introduced to the notice of the Confer ence by the Representative of Sardinia was worthy of the importance of the theme and the gravity of the crisis. It was earnestly submitted to the col lected Powers of Europe that the state of the Italian Peninsula was the common concern of all, inasmuch as -it involved a standing menace to the general peace of the world. The Ministers of England and of France were not indisposed to support the rea sonable and farsighted views of Count Cavour. But there was an insurmountable obstable. Austria would not for a moment allow any proposal to be mooted which in any degree tended to interfere with the unimpaired ascendancy of her detested rule. And so it would be always. Austria is not to be protocolled out of the Lombardo-Venetian pro ! ; vinces. Inheriting the traditions of the old Ger man Raisers, and counting back some centuries of her own dominion, the Imperial house can only be uprooted from the land in which her supremacy is felt to be a blight anda bane, by successful insur rection or victorious war. It is one of those cases of usurped dominion which still necessitate an appeal to the ultima ratio of arms. It is an oppression exercised over an alien and reluctant race, a sway which nothing but force could have imposed, and nothing but stronger force can sweep away. It is not a thing of yesterday. It is closely interwoven with all the traditions of a proud and dominant aristocracy. It has long been a constitutive portion of the modern State system of Europe. If, as we firmly oelieve, the time has come when Italy, under the constitutional headship of Sardinia, is ripe for national independence, it must be obvious to all that the days of this foreign oppression are numbered. But to suppose that it will be surrendered without a struggle, to imagine that good offices, and moral' suasion, and diplomatic intervention, will sap the laaso of this old proud fabric of Imperial domination, appears to' us rather a dream of the closet, than 'a reasonable anticipation of the Council Chamber. If; however, we be 'wrong in this judgment, if the time 'for available interposition be not gone by, if,the passions of an oppressed people on the one side, and of their foreign rulers on the other, be not raised to a pitch which makes both cqually deaf to terms of compromise and tenders of accommodation, we shall only be too happy to be convinced of our error. If the English Cabinet are of opinion that the way is yet open for this species of amicable intervention, it is of course their bounden duty to interpose their good offices without loss of time. If there be, indeed, any chance that the con current .ac don of .En gland, France, Russia, and Sar dinia can amicably settle the Italian question, let the experiment be made forthwith. • Vite, un Con. fires! Trois, Quatre Congres !!—as many con gresses as you please—should, c without sarcasm, be the burden of our song. WO confess, indeed, we have no such hope. Vienna, Verona, Paris-L-1815, 1822, and 1856—have somewhat shaken our faith in congresses. Be this as it. may, we return once more s the point with which we started : if diplo macy fails and war ensues, in that war England must be neutral, as long, at all events, as the con test is confined to the settlement of the Italian question as between France, Russia, Austria, and Sardinia. In the issues of that war we have no substantial interest. As far as the internal condi tion of Italy is concerned, almost any change would be - a change for 'the better ; the substitution in the north of Italy of Sardinian supremacy for Austrian domination would be an infinite improvement ; nor can it possibly concern the tax-payers of this country that a Murat, in the South, should take the place of a Bomba. On the other hand, as regards our external relations, we should lose 'nothing by olmerving a wise neutrality while the contending powers were exhausting their resources in the costly struggles of an internecine war. Till England's interests or Europe's freedom are endan gered it is our policy to be neutral ; when either is imperilled—then, but not till then, it will be time to strike the blow. IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. CHARGE OF ASSAULT. ' Captain H. Connolly, residing at 12, Holies- Areet, appeared at the Capel-street, Police-court, before the presiding magistrates, Messrs. Porter and O'Donnell, to answer a charge of assault pre ferred against him by Mr. A. H. Barton, 6, Fitz william-square South, barrister-at-law. The complainant appeared to sustain his charge in person, and. Mr. J. A. Curran appeared for the defendant. . Mr. Barton deposed that on the 3,1 he purchased tickets at the shop of Mr.Bussell, of Westmoreland- street, for the performances at the Rotund.° of the Christy Minstrels. These tickets were numbered, were for the reserved seats, and entitled the pur chaser of them to have the seats corresponding with the numbers reserved for him. On the evening of the same day he, went to the Rotund°, and he found, upon going to the seats, the numbers of which corresponded with those on his tickets, that they were occupied by the defendant, with whom were two ladies and a little boy. He informed the lady nearest to him that he had engaged the seats, and requested her to remove from them, but she declined to do so. He then informed the defendant also that he was entitled to the seats, and requested him to relinquish them, but the defendant, instead of doing so, rose from his seat and struck witness a blow on the nose. _ _ To Mr. Curran—l did not put my hand rudely on the lady's arm. A young man named Rapson, an assistant in the establishment of Mr. Bussell, deposed to having sold the tickets to the complainant, Mr. Barton. The Bench inquired what the defence was ? Mr. Curran said that when he came to detail what the facts of the case really were the proceed ing would assume a totally different aspect, and the charge ought, he submitted, to be entirely reversed. He would, however, deal with the legal bearing of the case. In point of law the complainant had no more right to the seats in question than any other parties in the Rotundo thatevening. In the Theatre Royal, or in other theatres, it was the custom when a party went to engage seats to give the box-keeper a shilling additional, and a paper was then affixed to the seats which that party had so engaged, to show that they were engaged. Mr. O'Donnell—But, Mr. Curran, in the paper which you receive from the box-keeper it is dis tinctly stated that the seats will not be reserved after the first act. Mr. Curran contended that the mode of proceed ing at the theatres and at the Rotundo was quite different. The theatres were licensed, whilst the Rotundo was merely a place of amusement. On the evening in question his client went into the Rotundo, having paid for and obtained tickets for reserved seats. On looking round the room he observed all the reserved seats, with the exception of those subsequently claimed by the complainant, occupied, and he very naturally having paid for tickets for the reserved seats, and, seeing those vacant, took possession of them. He was accom panied by his wife and son, and by a Miss IVl'Carthy, whose testimony would corroborate his (Mr. Curran's) statement. Mr. O'Donnell remarked that he thought Mr. Curran could hardly say that those seats were vacant, for it was an uncontroverted fact in the case, that they were numbered, to show that they were engaged. _ _ . . Mr. CuriAn said that the seats were vacant at the time they were taken possession of by his client, and that he and his party had occupied them for at least half or quarter of an hour, and until the first part of the eittertainment had ter minated, before the rencontre with the complainant, the manager of the place had passed by the seats in question, had seen that they were occupied by the defendant, but had never objected to his sitting in them, told him that he should leave them, or that they were engaged. Mr. Porter—But, leaving the argument out of the case altogether, Mr. Curran, was it a proper course of proceeding, or would you consider it such, supposing that a person had engaged a box at the theatre, and that upon going to it he found persons sitting in it, which in itself is no crime— that he requested them to leave, and that the only answer he received was a blow on the nose ? Mr. Curran protested against being *interrupted in his argument, and resumed his statement. He said that having argued upon what was clearly, he submitted, the law of the case, he would now relate what the facts were. The complainant, upon going into the room, spoke to Mrs. Connolly in a very rude manner, and placed his hand upon her shoulder, thereby committing an actual assault in the eye of the law. The defendant, seeing his wife treated in such a manner, protected her, in which he was per fectiv justified. After some further observations, Mr. - Curran concluded by stating that he would now produce witnessesin support of the defendant's case. Miss Henrietta M'Carthy sworn and examined by Mr. Curran—On the night of the 3d inst. I accom panied the defendant and his family to the Ro , tundo ; we were sitting iu the seats a good while before the complainant came in ; he spoke to Mrs. Connolly very rudely, and said that we should leave the seats, as they were his, and he put his right hand on her left shoulder. In reply to the plaintiff, Miss M'Carthy said that she could not swear whether or not he said to Mrs. Connolly, " I will be obliged to you to leave those seats ; they have been engaged by me ;" he might have said so, but not in her hearing. Master Villiers Connolly, son of the defendant, was next examined. He said that he saw the com plainant placing his hand on the shoulder of his mother, but he could not say what he said to her. Mr. Porter asked Miss M'Carthy whether she would have thought much about the complainant placing his hand upon the shoulder of Mrs. Con nolly, if there had been no subsequent altercation ? Miss M'Carthy said she thought that the conduct of the plaintiff was most rude, and his language Very ungentlemanly to use to any lady. Mr. Curran submitted that he had made out a clear case of justification, and he would now leave the matter with the bench. After a brief consultation with Mr. O'Donnell, Mr. Porter said that they had come to the deter mination of sending the case for trial at the city sessions, the defendant to be allowed to stand out on bail in his own recognisances in .£5O. Mr. Curran expressed himself quite satisfied with the decision of their worships. He felt quite satisfied that, when the matter came before a higher tribunal, his client would get off with flying colours. The defendant at once entered into the required security, and the parties then retired from the court. BRAZILIAN AND EIVEI? PLATE lILAILS. The Royal Mail Company's steamship Tyne, Captain Thomas W. Sawyer, with mails, in charge of Lieutenant J. Hay, R.N., Admiralty agent, arrived at Southampton yesterday morning. She left Rio 2 days behind her time, and experienced string head winds and sea throughout the passage home. The density of the fog compelled her to bring up outside the Needles on Wednesday night. The dates of- mails by this steamer are—Buenos Ayres, November 27 ; Montevideo, 30 ; Rio de Janeiro, December 11 ; Bahia, 15 ; Pernambuco, 17; St. Vincent (Cape Verde), 24 . ; and Lisbon, January 2. The Tyne brought 73 passengers (of whom 37 were first-class adults), including his Excellency Mr. W. D. Christie, her Majesty's Minister Pleni potentiary to the Argentine Confederation, from. Buenos Ayres; Mr. Neate, from Rio; his Excel lency Mr. Carolus, Belgian Minister to the Portu guese Court, from Lisbon ; 18 distressed seamen, &c. On freight she had specie from Montevideo, £B6 ; from Rio, £6,375 ; from Bahia, £32o—total, £6,781 ; diamonds, value £47,475 ; 200 barrels of tapioca, 650 rolls of tabacco, and", 137 packages of sundries. We have no particular news from Buenos Ayres. Commercial advices give the following quotations : —Exchange, 675. 6d. to 68s. ,; paper dollars, 349 to 350. Hides, salted, 52 rials Saladeros ;46 to 47 Matadeiros. Tallow, pure Saladeros, 21 22 rials ; with grease, 191- to' 191. Wool, fine Mestizo, dirty, 80 to 87 paper dollars per arroba ; middling 60 to 70 ; washed, 130 to 135 ; middling, 80 to 100 ; Cordova washed, 32 rials: From Montevideo we learn that part of the United States' squadron had arrived in port, and were awaiting reinforcements. The_squadron was to consist of 10 steamers, 4 frigates, 3 brigs, and 3 sloops. The vessels would, it was expected, leave in the course of a few weeks to seek:redress from the Paraguayan - Government. Exchange for the present mail commenced at 42d., and advanced to 4211, but the closing rate was 421 d. per current dollar. About £30,000 passed. For manufactured goods a slight improvement was visible in the de mand, principally confined to Manchester articles. Bradford and other woollen fabrics continued ne- glected, and there was no prospect of amendment for some months to come, the worst scason for them having set in. .Salo.deros had not commenced ope rations on an extensive scale, and prices were nominal, chiefly owing to the retarding influence of the late wet and cold weather, but a heavy kill ing season was still anticipated, the weather having become favourable for cattle. Freights generally were the same as last month, for England some- what firmer ; the amount of disengaged tonnage was small, and an advance was looked - for if cargo should become abundant. Advises from Rio are to the 10th ult. The weather was most unsettled during the whole of N ovember. Those intervals, however, that ad- mitted of transportation from the interior were taken advantage of, and regular supplies of coffee had in consequence arrived at market. The quality of late receipts had proved by no means satisfac tory, having suffered much from the effects of almost incessant rains. Should the weather take a more favourable turn, hopes were entertained of receiving qualities as good as those that made their appearance at the commencement of the crop. Business was rather animated during the month, without any material alteration in prices being noticeable, and sales from the 7th to the 30th of November reached 161,000 bags, assorted lots for the United States having regulated from 4.650 to 4.800. From the commencement of December the market was quiet, buyers awaiting the receipt of news per Tyne, which only arrived on the 7th from England. These advices not presenting any great encouragement, it was supposed that little eagerness would be evinced to enter upon operations to any great extent, unless a decline in prices should be brought about. Sales from the Ist to the 9th, 14,500 bags ; in all, since last mail, 175,600 bags, of which 106,200 were for the United States, 47,900 for the Channel and North of Europe, 20,000 for the Mediterranean, 1,500 for Portugal, River Plate, &c. Stock, 120,000 bags. With respect to the prospects of the coming crop it was yet early to form an accurate idea. But the first blossoms of the trees had been much injured by rain, and it exclusively depended upon the development of the third flower what expectations might be entertained as to the probable extent of the yield. At the same time, from all appearances, it was not expected to exceed an average. Clearances in last month :- 138,151 bags for the United States (against 54,412 in November, 1857), 61,457 for the Channel, 108 for England, 5,000 for Hamburg, 2,428 for Bremen, 7,000 for Copenhagen, 8,499 for Havre, 3,300 for Gibraltar, 16,777 for Marseilles, 2,431 for Genoa, 981 for Majorca, 355 for Portugal, 3,551 for the ape of Good Hope, 151 for the River Plate-in all, 250,189 bags.

At this latter figure the Government took, on the 15th of November, £200,000 at three and four months' sight from Mau, M‘Gregor and Co.'s bank ing establishment. The transactions effected be sides were estimated at £550,000, of which a very limited part only at 261 d., with condition of pay ment. The rates on France had ruled between 352 r. and 360 r. On Hamburg 670 r. to 680 r. for very restricted amounts. On the morning of the 10th of December £40,000 passed for the Tyne at 261 d. to 27d., and closed firm. Discounts without change. Stock was in demand, but little had been done, as none was offering for sale. At Bahia new sugars were arriving freely ; quality suitable for the French market in demand. Stocks of sugar on the 15th ult. comprised-3,437 cases, 1,680 boxes and barrels ' and 20,000 bags. Latest quotations were as follows :-First-class browns, 2,500 to 2,600 ; whites,, 3,000 ; good browns, 2,350 to 2,400 ; raw browns, 2,200 to 2,250. Coffee stocks were accumulating, amounting to 24,000 bags ; price asked 4,200, offered 4,000. There had been latterly more inquiry for cocoa, which sold at 4,200 ; stock, 300 bags. Tapioca was neglected ; a small lot of superior quality had been disposed of at 5,000, 5,500, and 6,000 per alqueire. Tobacco stocks consisted of 3,800 bales of leaf; quotations 4.000 to 4.500. Prices of hides ruled at 210 for dry salted, and 260 for dry ; 4,000 in stock. No sales of cotton had taken place, and prices were nominal at quotations-Maceios 7.800 to 8.000; Bahias, 8.000 to 8.200. There was but little in the market, existing stocks being mostly in second hands. In freights a few vessels on the berth for London and Liverpool had been engaged at 17s. 6d. to 20s. ; higher rates were expected. Two vessels had been taken up to call for orders and discharge in the United Kingdom at 255. Ex change opened at 261 d., and closed at 260. The port of Bahia was healthy, and the season splendid. "Pernambuco, Dec. 16, 1858. " The Tyne arrived on the Ist inst. from South ampton, with dates to the 9th ult., and telegram of the 12th via Lisbon. "The advices, although generally considered un favourable for sugar, have had but little effect upon prices on this side. The entries amount to upwards of 90,000 bags of all descriptions. Whites have been in great demand, two cargoes having been shipped for Valparaiso, and two other cargoes are being made up for that quarter, four vessels loading for Portugal, two for Marseilles, and .two for Gib raltar.

All exertions were used. to get the fire u n d er , b u t th e flames spread so rapidly that the crew wer e soon driven from the hold. Every place was then clo se d up in order to stifle the flames as much as possible, and the boats got in readiness in case of need. At Helena consisting this time the ship Grey-feather, Capt. Harford, of New York, bound for San Francisco, with passen gers, bore down to the assistance of the burning ship, took the captain and crew on board; and landed them all well at Pernambuco on the 9th of December. The fire originated from spontaneous combustion in the lower part of the cargo. The Carib, Williams, reported by previous mail ashore, was got off the reef at Garcas, and towed down to Pernambuco. T4e greater portion of her cargo was deposited inflie Custom-house. The vessel had been abandoned, and was to be sold by public auction. The Ben 'quick Dhui (which vessel went on shore at Stanacara in October), after having been hove down and repaired, sailed from Pernambuco for St. Helena on the 15th of December, a part of her cargo having been sold to defray expenses.

MEL VILL, A testimonial has just been presented to Sh Jas. Cosmo Melvill, K.C.8., by the members of. the home service of the Government of India, upon his retirement from the office of Secretary to the East India Company. It consists of two handsome silver vases and a pair of raised fruit dishes made by Garrard, of the Haymarket, and was ac companied by an address expressive of the high admiration and affectionate esteem in which this able and indefatigable public officer was held by 'those who served under him. To this compliment Sir James has returned *.ollowing.reply " Gentlemen,—l acknowledge, i emotions of pride and satisfaction, the receipt of your address, and I request that you will accept my sincere thanks for the gratifying terms in which you have expressed yourselves towards me, and for the handsome and valuable testimonial in which you have given shape to your feelings of esteem and affec tion. To all, and to each one of you, I would tender my warmest acknowledgments. Your names are associated with some of my happiest recollections, and with many long-established friendships. " When I retired in February last it became my pleasing duty to reply to an address from the service at large. The sentiments which I then expressed are those which animate me on this occasion, and which must endure while life shall last. "Regarding, as I always did, the respectability and effi ciency of the home establishment as essential to the good government of India, it was incumbent on me to promote its importance and welfare; and I rejoice in the assurance which your address conveys to me, that my efforts in fur therance of that object were not altogether ineffectual. " I am deeply sensible of many imperfections in my offi cial conduct, and am also fully aware that in the position which I so long occupied it was my lot, occasionally, to check as well as promote individual wishes and expectations. That, under such circumstances, so large a body of my late col leagues, 'not content with having subscribed the general address, should again come forward for the puridse of pre senting. me with a substantial testimonial of their regard, is a circumstance most gratifying to my feelings, assuring me as it does of their generous appreciation of the public motives by which my conduct was influenced " I cannot allow this opportunity to pass without repeat ing my thanks to you all, individually and collectively, for the able and friendly co-operation and assistance which I ever experienced from you, nor without assuring you that, though the tic of official relationship no balger unites us, my heart is still with the service, whose efficiency and high character will, I am convinced, only become more apparent the more prominently it is brought before the public.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, yours most faithfully. "JAMES C. MELVILL." THE ARMY AND NAVY. In addition to the vessels of war now being built at Chatham dockyard, two line-of-battle ships are ordered to be laid down on the first slips that are vacant. One- of the new vessels is to be a screw steamer of 91 guns and 800 horse power. The improvements ordered to be effected at St. Mary's Invalid Barracks, Chatham, for the comfort and health of the invalid troops at that establish ment, are being carried out under the superinten dence of Colonel Williams, the commanding Royal Engineer of the Medway district, and already a considerable portion of the works has been com pleted. A great improvement has been '1 in having the hitherto damp stone floors cove . . 'll boards, and the floors sunk, so as to give a ,; • space between the " ceiling," or arch of _4IL, mated roofs, and the bottom sl , the rooms. The barrack-rooms are also undergoing a thorough ven tilation, the system adopted being that which has been carried out at Chatham Barracks. "The Secretary of State for War having signified to the General Commanding-in-Chief his opinion that all demands from every branch of the Royal Artillery should be forwarded through the Deputy Adjutant-General of Artillery, his Royal Highness has been pleased to direct that commanding officers of the regiment shall follow that course in future. " Referring to the circular memorandum promul gating revised lists of the tools and implements for the service of artificers, commanding officers are requested to transmit to this office demands for the articles required to complete, to the new detail, the chests for smiths, collar-makers, and wheelers, in their charge, o r o f fi e ld-batteries under their orders. Requisitions should at the same time be made upon the principal veterinary surgeons for the completion of each troop and battery with a set of farriers' medical tools according to the revised list. " Her Majesty has approved of four corporals and six bombardiers being promoted from amongst the drivers of the Adjutant's Detachment RoY'al Horse Artillery, the number of rank and file, how ever, not being thereby increased." The Enthusiast, freight ship, having discharged her cargo of returned stores from Gibraltar, is or dered to ship munitions of war and military clothing at the Royal Arsenal for Malta and other stations. The Soldiers' Institute and Reading-rooms, established opposite the Royal Marine Barracks at Woolwich about 12 months since by a committee of influential inhabitants of the district, now com prises amongst its members a large number of men from the various corps in garrison. In addition to a well•selected library, various plans of rational re creation for the private soldier during his leisure hours have been introduced. Weekly lectures on subjects of a historical and instructive nature are delivered, and the experiment of providing the means of mental and moral improvement to the militay has been equally s uccessful at Woolwich as at Chatham, towns.
