Such arrangement is equivalent to an immediate advance of 50 per cent. upon the Annual Premium, without the borrower basin?: recourse to the unpleasant necessity of procuring sureties, or assigning and thereby parting with his Policy, during the cur rency of the loan, irrespective of the great attendant expenses in such arrangements. The above mode of insurance has been found most advantageous when policies have been required to cover monetary transactions, or when incomes applicable for insurance are at present limited, as it only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other com panies before the present system was instituted by this office.

BY SAMUEL LAWERT, M.D., , 37, BEDFORD SQUARE , LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, Lon The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con . sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should' know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret saceeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those pe nalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may he avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infir mity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

The adjourned inquest on the body of John Gates, who was found dead on the Acton-road, on Monday night, the 9th inst., stabbed to the heart by some sharp instrument, was resumed yesterday afternoon before Mr. Wakley. The inquest-room was crowded with persons anxious to hear the proceedings, a report having been circulated that two officers in her Majesty's navy were inculpated in the d,ath of the deceased. On the assembling of the jury several of them complained that an erroneous statement had appeared in the papers, to !he effect that the inquest was to be held on Tuesday (this evening). Mr. Wakley stated that he believed the " inaccuracy" complained of was intentional. Henry George was the first witness examined—l live at Ealing, and am a groom. On Monday night last, about 10 minutes to 12 o'clock, I :ouml the body of the deceased close to the Priory on the high road near the railway bridge. It was lying in the middle of the road. There were two men standing close by. I would not know either of the men again. They cried out to the man that was driving the Uxbridge waggon, on which I was seated, " Don't run over that fellow." The men were going to wards London. One of them was swinging a stick or cane in his hand, but I could not tell what it was exactly, as it was a very dark night. One of the men was tall and the other short. The man who was driving the waggon said, "Why don't you pull that man out of the road ?" but they made no answer. I then got down and dragged the body from the middle of the road on to the path. There _ . was a loaf and a handkerchief lying close t o th e b o dy. Th ern was blood flowina nom his mo u th. I t h en Tn .. police- Mesa, AUL( told them to go to the assistance of the wounded man. Inc Coroner—Did you see any weapon near the Nay— sword, dagger, or stick ? Witness—l did not. A Juror—Did yon see either of the men lilt the deceased ? Witness—No; I only saw one of them swing a stick. Mr. Henry Bailey Liughatn, member of the College of Surgeons, residing at Acton, said—l first saw the body on Monday night shortly before 12 o'clock. It was lying 100 yards from the railway bridge, close to the Priory wall. The deceased was then quite dead. A quantity of blood had flowed from the mouth and face, and the lower part of the face was covered with blood. There was also a quantity of frothy blood on the road near where the body was found. I examined the clothes parti cularly, thinking the man might have been run over, but they were not disturbed. At that time I noticed no sign of violence about the body. I ordered it to be taken to the nearest public-house, the George Inn. It was afterwards taken to the dead-house, because the landlord refused to allow it to lie in the coach-house, as he expected carriages to be brought in. I made a post mortem examination on Wednesday last. On the previous day I made an examina tion, and found blood exuding, which could not have come from the mouth. I found the clothes satura►ed with blood, and a small cut in the coat, and a corresponding one in the shirt. On examixing the chest, I perceived a wound half an inch in length corresponding to the cuts in the shirt and coat. The cut was two and a half inches to the right side of the right nipple. A very small quantity of blood had been discharged from it. I subsequently opened the chest, and on removing the skin I found blood under the cellular tissues and slight crepita tion. On opening the chest there was a corresponding wound in the pleura. It extended into the left auricle of the heart, through the right lung. A great quantity of blood remained in the cavity of the chest and the pericardium. The Coroner—Was the wound sufficient to cause death ? Witness—Yes; no man could have survived such a wound. I believe he died instantaneously. The Coroner—Do you think he could have lived a mo ment? Witness—He could not possibly have lived a moment. The wound in the lung was so large that I could put the tip of my finger into it. The witness here produced the clothes, which were marked with blood at the place where the incisions were made. The coroner and the jury minutely examined the places where the weapon had entered, which were very small, and must have been effected with a very sharp In- strument. Mr. Lingham further stated that there was a small punc ture near the pit of the stomach, bat that be could not say it was done by any weapon. John Mansell. No. 1 T division of pollee, deposed that be tue pockets of the deceased * dmu • lef spectacles in a case - -AU L Few pipe, some tnbacco, and a piece of soap. There was also a parcel lying beside the body containing a half-quartern loaf and a piece of bacon. There were no other cuts in the clothes except those deposed to by the surgeon. Mr. Edward Tarlton, superintendent of the T division of police, here addressed the coroner, and stated that it had become his duty to arrest that morning Mr. Henry Augus tus Clavering, of 61, Inverness-road, Bayswater, a lieute nant in hsr Majesty's navy. He had taken Lieut. Claver ing before the magistrate at Hammersmith, who held him to bail in sureties of £2OO and £lOO to appear before him on Friday next at 2 o'clock. The Coroner inquired whether Lieut. Clavering was present ? Mr. Tarleton said be was in the house and would attend. Lieut. Clavering, a gentleman very fashionably attired, and about 30 years of age, here entered the room and took a seat close to the superintendent of police. He appeared to treat the matter very lightly. The Coroner—Are there not other witnesses ? A gentleman, who stated that his name was Thomas Miller, and that he was a post-captain in her Majesty's navy, then stepped forward to give evidence. He said—l reside at the Grove, Exeter, and came to London this after noon. I am staying at 61, Inverness-terrace, Bayswater. That is the residence of Lieut. Clavering. I was in the Acton-road, near the Priory, on Monday night last, about 12 o'clock. Lieut. Clavering was with me. We were on foot. As we approached the railway bridge we thought we had lost our way. I imagined we were on the road from Turnham-green towards Acton. We had been out for a walk. We emerged into the high road from Acton, out of a narrow dark lane. As we got out of the lane, at a point about four miles from town, we observed a man at the opposite side of the way evidently intoxicated, swearing, talking to himself, and making a great commotion. I said to Clavering, " We had better let that fellow pass on." He did not go on very quick, so we Waited a little and then proceeded. On coming nearly up t.) him he turned round furiously towards us, and to the best of my belief said, " What the business have ycu here—what are you up to here ?" I thought the accent was that of a foreigner, and I said to Clavering, " He is some discharged valet or barber." Clavering said to the man, "We are two gentlemen taking a walk for our amusement, and I should like to know what business that is of yours?" What 'he man said to this I cannot say, but I heard disconnected sentences, such as "Do for you," and then he made a rush right upon Clavering, who happened to be nearer to than I was. Clavering struggled with him with a swordstick in his hand. (A very formidable swordcane, nearly as large as the regula tion sword, was here produced.) The Coroner—What do you mean by "struggling with him ?" Witness—The deceased caught hold of the swordstick. and Clavering told him to mind what he was about, as be bad a swordstick in his hand. He repeated this two or three times. The nig: - It was very dark. I did not Myself see the sword leave the sheath ; but I saw the man strike two or three severe blows at Clavering, and one came right down on his bead. I then saw that Clever ing's sword was drawn, and it seemed to me he was endeavouring to keep the man off the point. I then thought I saw something glitter like a knife or a polished pistol in the unfortunate- man's hand. I then saug out, "Take care; Harry, he has a knife or pistol in his hands, so look out." I grasped my own stick tighter, and got a little nearer to the roan to ascertain what it was that he had in his band. I heard Clavering say distinctly to the man, w hen endeavouring to keep him off from the en d o f the sword, "Take care or I may do you an injury." He then said, "This is the third time, I tell you take care, I may do you an injury." The man made another rush after that warning, and be fell. I never saw Clavering strike a blow or make a thiwt, but I saw him retreat to the side of the path. When I saw the roan fall 1 said, "Come along, Harry, I expect there are mere of them about." He re " on a minute (until I pick up the end of my swordstick." I did not know until then that it was with the sheath of the swordstick that the deceased bad struck Clever log. We then went on. Clavering remarked, "I fear I may have pricked the fellow." I said, "Nonsense, Harry. I was close to hint, and ceuld swear you never touched him ; I expect his drunkenness has been the cause of his fall." He said, " Well, I don't know ; but I will sea directly whether there is any blood or stain on the point of my sword—possibly be may have got pricked in the arm while rushing on me." I said, "Well, if that's all it will do him no harm, and serve him very well right ; but I could al most swear you hav'nt touched him." A cart was passing by at a slow trot in the direction of Acton, and Claret ing sang out, "'There is a drunken fellow on the road-side; take care and don't go over him." I also sang out, " Yen had better pick the fellow up, and put hint in the cart." After going on a-little further, we came to a light place on the toad-side ' and Clavering said, " Hold on until I see whether that fellow was really pricked or not." Clavering then drew-the sword, and we examined it minutely, and there was no mark or stain of blood of any description on the sword, and I remarked " There, you see, I told you you bad never touched the man," or " he was never touched." Clavering said, " I am very glad of it; but if he had been pricked it would hAvOcili as on doing." then oboetvcd that a little hit hl been chipped out of the sheath of the swordstick. Beforthis I had said, "Shall we go back and look at the fellow,nnd he, said, " No; I don't see the use of it." That is all have to say. The Coroner —Tin, gentlemen, I am bound to tell you that, otz every grovel, it is right that we should adjourn this infinity in ordeto have additional evidence. The Foreman of to Jury—May we not cross-examine Capt. Miller ? The Coroner—l cinot allow him to be cross-examined, It is a very importst case, and I must bind the witness over in heavy recogi.ances to appear here again. He vo lunteered the statettnt he has just made, and I did not think it necessary (caution him as to what he was about to say; but after thotatement he has made, and considering that he was prfitiqn(rturing the affray, I think it would be wrong to cross4xaaine him. I, therefore, provese to adjourn untillhursoy next ; and as both Capt. Miller and Lieut. Clavering mut appear before me, it is possible they may avail thentselve;of legal assistance. - Lieut. Clavering sew stepped forward and said—l have only got to say that r a man has run through another in tentionally his conscince must accuse him; but I will take my oath, and may Gd strike me dead if I tell a lie, that I never pointed my swod towards him. He struck me three times. The Coroner—l thitk you had better say no more at this moment. Lieut. Clavering—lwish to make that statement before my countrymen. • Capt. Miller --Am Ito consider myself a culprit in cus tody. I am quite realY to appear, and I knew nothing of the affair until 1 readit in the newspapers. The Coroner—l cerainly cannot allow you to leave the room until you have entered into your recognicauces to appear on Thursday. • Capt. Miller—l amquite ready to appear. The Coroner.(to Mr Tarlton)—Did Lieut. Clavering give himself up to you ? Mr. Tarlton-11e wind to Sir Richard Mayne ; and, from information, I went t. Inverness-terrace, where he made a statement, and said b e w a s w illi ng t o go before a rnagi . strv i I "", npppointmetnt at th n evidence wasL taken theu went be: : - zigtstrate at Havatnersmith, when some r .artthe further hearing adjourned until Friday next at two o'clock. Lieut. Clavering was then bound over in his personal surety for £5OO, and Capt. Miller in £3OO, to appear at the adjourned inquest on Thursday next. The Coroner—Then the inquiry will be adjourned until Thursday next, when I hope the whole of the evidence will be completed. The case is one of great importance. , The public attention is intensely directed t o it, and I recommend the jury between this and Thursd a y no t to enter into any discussion with other persens upon the features and general character of the case as at present they have only heard one side. The rase was then adjourned until Thursday. RAILWAY JNTELLIGENCE. ROYSTON AND HJTCHJN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the offices, in Great St. Helen's, yesterday-11 Ir. Wm. Reid in the chair—when the guaranteed dividend, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, was declared, short income tax, and 11d. every £6 ss. stock for expenses. MID-KENT (BROMLEY TO ST. MARY CRAY). The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the offices, South Sea House, yesterday—Mr. Dent in the'chair. The SECRETARY read the advertisement convening the meeting, and the report, which said— " The directors have the satisfaction ofeongratulatingthe proprietors on the opening - of so much of the 11 , 1id-Kent Railway as lies between Shortlands and Southborough; and they look with confidence to the arrangements which have been entered into with the South -Eastern Company for working the lite proving beneficial to both companies, The directors have the pleasure of stating that, during the time the railway has been open, namely, six weeks, the gross receipts at the Bromley and Southborough-road stations have amounted to £4l Bs. od., which show an average of £O5 ss. per week for passenger traffic alone. The accommodation for passengers, goods, end coal, at Bromley, is being provided upon an enlarged scale, at the request of the South-Eastern Company. The cost of these works, therefore, will exceed what had been previously considered sufficient by the board; but looking to the im portant and obvious advantages which the Bromley station will affird to a large and increasing traffic, the direc tors have felt- themselves justified in adopting the re quirements of the South-Eastern Company. As re gards the walking agreement which had been entered into between the two companies, the directors have to ob serve, that in consequence of an infarmality in advertising the extraordinary general meeting which took place on the 2:21 of June last, it is necessary, at the close of the business of the half-yearly meeting to-day, that the meeting be de clared special, far the purpose of again submitting that agreement for your approval. The directors believe that . the total expenditure for the present purpases of the line will have to be ascertained during the current half-year. The consent of the shareholders will be this day requested to the exercise of the company's borrowing powers, to the extent of £23,000, in pursuance of the provisions contained In the Act of Incorporation. The directors have to report that the bill referred to in the last half-yearly report for powers to lease the undertaking to the South-Eastern Company has been rejected by Parliatnenti and they de,. •—` " L'a de " - to extend their Mary nyninv, for to join the Bromley and St. Mary Cray Railway', jeefing the line promoted by the South-EasternCompany. Although the recent contest between the South-Eastern and the East Kent Companies necessarily led to Parliamentary action on the part of the Mid-Kent Cotnpany,.and at a cost disproportionate to the length of its line ; yet inasmuch as the result has been that your directors have been enabled to perfect their relations with their original allies, the South-Eastern, and by means of the working agreement hereinhefore alluded to have secured to the proprietors the advantages of a fixed income ; and, moreover, as they have made an agreement with the East Kent Company for the exercise of the running powers granted by Parliament over the Crays Railway, by which agreement the East Kent has bound itself to pay 80 per cent. of all the traffic it may carry over your line, guaranteeing likewise a minimum payment of £l,OOO per annum from the time of opening the line from Strocd to St. Mary Cray, mid for three years afterwards, unless in the meantime the East Kent system shall have been opened to Dover, when £1,500 per annum w ill be the minimum. The directors entertain the opinion that such outlay has been advantageous to the interests of the proprietors, and they hope that there may now be a termination of the costly struggle which has existed for several years. They have the satisfaction of further report ing that the bill to authorise the construction cf a station near Victoria-street, Pimlico, and of a railway to connect the same with the west end of London and Crystal Palace Railway, his received the royal assent. Your .directors are satisfied that the improved communication which will thereby be efforded at ro distant period between Mid Kent and the West-end of Landau will be of the greatest value in developing the traffic of the Bromley and St. Mary Cray Railway." The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, end stated it was a matter of sincere congratulation that the line to Southhorough-road was opened on the sth July last, and the traffic had been so satisfactory as to promise a good return to the South-Eas'ern C mpany, who was to work the line for ten years. It was a matter of regret that this company had been driven into Parliamentary contests, the expenses of which pressed heavily on so short a line. The East Kest Company had obtained powers to extend their use from Strood to St. Mary Cray, with power, if the line was not completed beyond the Southborough-road by the Crays Company, to complete it themselves, and probably this com pany might leave them hdo ea. The South-Eastern Com pany evidently expected large triffie on the line, and had called upon them to make the necessary arrangements at Bromley, which they were new co:npleting. The result of the Parliamentary contests bad been to enable them to c omelete their arrangements with the South-Eastern company, and also to enter into a satisfacto!y agree- Ment with the East Kent Company. The irregu larity of the last special meeting arose " from a mistake of the newsman, by which the notice calling the meeting was not, advertised fourteen days, and the Ward of Trade called upon them to re-advertise, and again take the opinion of the sharellok l ers on the question. He considered the present state of Parliamentary committees with respect to railways the most unsatisfactory and disgraceful that 1 could well be devised—the only certainty being that the decision would be ies accerdance' with .the private views of the individual members, without regard to the justice of the case; and it was certainly a most extraordinary position in which to leave £300,000,000 of capital embarked in these undertakings. The report was adopted, the hoard authorised to borrow the amount as mentioned in the report, and £I,OOO voted to the directors for their past services. The meeting was then made speci a l, (tad the agreement with the South-Eastern Company for a minimum.dividend of four per cent. again approved, Mr. Simmon explaining that the engagement with the East Kent line had been entered into for the protection of their allies the South- Eastern Company, and not in opposition to them. It was to protect the South-Eastern that they Insisted on having a guaranteed amount from the East Rent before they (the Mid Krnt) would withdraw their opposition to the East Kent Bill. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. MID-KENT. The ha'f-yearly meeting of this coevrany wns held after the above at the London Tavern—Sir J. W. Lubbock in the chair. • Mr. BELLAMY. read the advertisemeit convening the meeting, and, after the other usual forroblities, the follow ing report was laid before the proprietors : — " The gress receipts earned upon the lice during the past half-year amount to £2,831 17s. Bd., showing an increase of £766. 13s. GJ. upon the corresponding period of last year. The arbitrator to whom the question of the deductions claimed by the South Eastern Company wis referred, hav ing decided that the Mid-Kent Company me entitled, under the agreement, to a clear 69 per cent. of tie gross earnings of the line, tree float all deductions,"the colnuany's net pro• portko of the Wive will amount to /1,715 17s. sd. From this sum must be deducted the expencs of manage ment, which have been apportioned this htlf-year as last, and for the same reasons, ar.d the debenture interest, amounting together to'£69B 16s. 2d. ; and :etving, with the amount brought forward from last year, a balance of £1,248 3s. sth, out of which the directors retotimend a divi dend of l i l per cent. for the half-year, or at tbt rate of £3 per 'cent. - for the yetyr. NotwithhtAndiog thy gelytal foiling off in the receipts en the railways throughout England during the last six months the traffic on the line has steadily improved, and since the opening of the St. Mary Cray Railway to Bromley and S‘uttlibtrough-road, en the Ist of July, it has shown such a mai ked increase that a considerably higher rate of dividend may be anticipated for the next half-year. The directors regard with satisfaction the passing of the art in the late session for the East Kent Extension from Strold to St. Mary Cray, which cannot but be the means of throwing a considerable additional traffic upon this line. The renewal of the - application for the Croydon Extension by this company has led to an arrangement with the Brighton Company, by which nearly all the objects sought by the bill will be attained at a mach less cost. Under this arrangement it is intended to construct a short live from the West London and Crystal Palace Company's Extension, nwr Penge, to the Brighton line at Norwood Station, and to form the western junction of the Mid-Kent line with the West-end line at Beckenham. Direct access will thus be given from all places on the North Kent Railway to Croydon and other stations on the Brighton Company's system, which will undoubtedly bring a large accession of traffic to the Mid-Kent line. There is one subject in connection with the revenue account on which the directors wish to give an ex planation. The item of maintenance of the line and works usually appears as one of the heaviest charges against this account. Under - the agreement the South Eastern Com pany are to work the line for 40 per cent. of the gross receipts for the first two years, during which time the Mid- Kent Company are to maintain the way and works ; (after that term the maintenance falls on the South Eastern Com pany, who are then entitled to 50 per cent. of the gross receipts.) It was, .therefore, arranged with the contractors that the term for which they were bound to keep the.line in good repair, viz., 12 months, should be doubled ; and a small additional sum was added to the contract for that pur pose. After the close of this year the arrangement for main tenance by the South-Eastern Company comes into effect." The report having been adopted, the CHAIRMAN congratu lated the proprietors on the increasing revenue of the com pany. During the last month the traffic had still flutter and their prospects were more flattering than they could have anticipated at so early a tint, The dividend was deelerp,d. and n veto a - thanks to-fhe— chaiittian etoteu cue proce e dings. TAFF VALE. The report of the directors states that adverse circum stances have caused a considerable diminution in the trade of the railway during the past half year. A considerable reduc tion has been effected in the workingexpenses on the amounts charged for relaying the permanent way and maintenance c.f way and works, but, as these outlays will be heavier during the current half-year, and there are also other circumstances which may affect the revenue account, the directors have felt called upon td reduce the dividend. The balance of the revenue account, assisted by the reserve in hand at the end of the la,.t half-year, enables the directors to declare a dividend at the rate of 71 per cent., per annum, payable on the Gth September next, with a dividend in the same pro portion on the preference stcck No. I. They have also ap plied the usual sum of £750 to the depreciation fund. Pre parations are being made for. the prosecution of new works, under the powers of the last Act of Parliament, on a scale calculated to afford increased accommodation to the trade. Since the last meeting a distribution of the new capital has been made among the proprietors, and a deposit of £2 per share bas been paid thereon. The capital account to . the 30th of June last shows a total receipt of £1,133,367, and a total expenditure of £1,145,Q1, leaving a balance of £41,924 against capital. The revenue account for the half year shows a total receipt of £98,076, of which amount £53,615 has been expended, leaving a balance of £41,461. Of this sum £21,745 has been applied to the payment of interest on debentures, preferential stock, &c. The balance of £22,716 is carried to the general revenue account. ROYSTON AND HITCHIN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester day at the office, St. Helen's-place, Mr. W. Reed in the chair. The CHAIRMAN declared the usual dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, less income-tax, and I.ld. per £6 ss. stock for expemes of management, on the Royston, Ilitchin, and Shepreth consolidated stock, for the half•year ending August 1, 1858. The meeting then separated. STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester day at Darlington, Mr. Meynell in the chair. The report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN said he regretted that it was not in his power, as on former occasions, to congratulate the share holders on anliacrease of traffic, but this, he thought, was sufficiently accounted for by the depression of trade. There was one circumstance which had specially affected this com pany—viz., a strike of long continuance among the men em ployed at several large ironworks using the Stockton and Darlington line. Now, however, things were improving, and he found that the receipts for the last six weeks had nearly reached the average of the corresponding period last year. Various events of importance had occurred in the half-year, not the least being thcie connected with the Par liamentary applications of the company. From these the directors anticipated considerable advantage, especially in connection with the re-arrangement of capital. Tile act of amalgamation would come into operation on 31 September, prior to which a special meeting would be celled for making the necessary arrangements. Mr. J. PEASE explained a scheme now under the direc tors' consideration fur rearranging the company's capital. They propo-cd to leave the A capital, £450,000, as at pre sent ; to rritse the B from £849,9 4 -in t m i - Irma 11,01)0,000 to the C from £l7g "' oif7"l3‘i n l e - ,t 1; ? - h n rate issueo r .97 nf 7f bnae t r h vre o f u oo g ri'd h it t ib' fi ar t re , yEi b a e obr rsriin 1. l m a iatect a the capital raised under the act of 1855 , on which only £7 per share had been paid, so as still further to sim • plify the capital. The amounts added to B and C would be a reduction of the company's loan debt. A short conversation followed, in which no objection was ' made to the suggestion. The report was then adopted, and a dividend at OA rate of 81- per cent, per annum was declared ; and after a resolution of condolence with the family of the late Mr. Edward Pease the meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTjLE.- 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 willocase. 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, aud in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff•, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in trinsic 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 to 77, Neu - gate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post free. HULL AND SELBY. The half-yearly meeting was held at Hull on Friday, Mr. J. R. Pease in the chair. The report showed a balance of 233,923 in favour of the company, out of which the directors recommended divi dend of £2 98. 6d: per £59 share, and in proportion for the half and quarter shares (less the income-tax deducted by the lessees). The Cu AIRMAN moved, and Mr. J. BOWES seconded, the adoption of the report, and declaration of the dividends recommended therein, payable on the 28► h inst. The motion was carried unanimously, and the proceedings terminated. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND_ LINCOL N SHI RE. The total expenses of this company's railways, including rents, toll, duty, &c., have amouted from July 1 to Aug. 8, to £29,768, as against £28,894 for the corresponding period of 1857. The proportion of South Junction, &c., receipts accruing to this company from July 1 to Aug. 8 amount to £2,376, as against £3,935 for the corresponding period of 18.57; and the expenses to £1,530, as against £1,568 for the corresponding period of 1857. The total receipts, includ ing rents, &c., of this company's canals, for the month end ing July 31, have amsunted to £1,977, as against £5,011 for the corresponding period of 1857; and the total expenses, including rates, &0., amounted to £3,333, as against £3,323 for the corresponding period of 1857 ; laving a balance of net profit of £1,644, as against £2,618 for the corresponding period of 18.57. TWEED SALMON FISHING .—The Berwick Advertiser says :—".IVe have better hopes now of a grilse season than we had last month, as they have c , :ane on more plentiful during the last tai days; and the salmon arid trouts arc still continuing to be taken in fair numbers. So very fluc tuating Is the supply of fish, that while there were nearly 15,000 grilse caught in the Tweed in July, 1857, there were sea- ce'y 3,000 taken last month." EXTRAORDINARY CG:.: 11 Tho Mg/ records a rather singular affair which happened near Huh a few evenings since. Mr. Bray, cowkeeper, who resides in Hendyke-lane, near Newland, was passing along one of his fields at dusk, when, a few yards in advance if aim, he saw a band'ef seven er eight foutnarts playing on the cart-road which skirts the edge. They pi , inted themselves boldly in, -kis path; and when he attempted to drive them off, they sprang at him in a body, and a furious combat ensin d for five or ten minutes. The little assailants were evidently bent on effectually using their claws and teeth. As fast as one was kneeked down with his liar, which way all the de fence he had, the remainder continued their tikrta to climb up his clothes and attack his face. Ultimately, however, three or four of the foumarts were thrown disabled into the hedge bottom, and the rest beat a precipitate retreat.

The lighter Aid, with stores from Chatham, arrived at Plymouth on Sunday. The Prussian vessel Mater Elizabeth has finished dis charging her cargo of timber and deals at Cbatbatn Dock yard. A novel and successful experiment was tried at Keyham steam yard a few days since, iu undocking a caisson which had received considerable repair in dock at Keyhatn, and was a great thoroughfare for the workmen, horses, &c., when crossing between the two basins south and north. The caisson and the steam frigate Encounter were together in the Queen's Dock. The frigate was at the head, with extensive defec's, a large number of her timbers being de cayed, also the sternpo , t and other parts; to effect these re pairs a great portion of the bottom planking was necessarily removed. The difficulty was haw to float out the caisson while the Encounter was in such a state, for if temporarily patched it would have been at a heavy co=t and great risk of damage, as her shape was of course much loosened. The master-builder at Keyham solved the difficulty by placing sufficient iron ballast on the upper deck of the Encounter to prevent the lower deck and other buoyant parts from dis turbing her, and allowed the water to flow in until it was nearly as high as the upper deck. Tee attempt proved most sncets-tul, for after the caisson was floated out and the water withdrawn only one of the frigate's shores was found to be disturbed. Such an experiment is said never before to have been attempted in the west; the saving effected is considerable. Tile following appointments van made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Capt. E. B.

CANADA. 1h: Nut, York Herald contains the following telegrams from Toronto respecting the Ministerial crisis:-- " TORONTO, AUg. 2. . , " At the reassembling of the two houses this afterno:ar there was an immense rush for places to hear the official anutuncement of the new Ministry. The excitement out of doors was intense, and the Speaker had no sooner taken his seat than all the galleries were filled with anxious spec tators. Some routine busines having been disposed of in the Lower H_e L a douse, Mr. Patrick rose and stated that h been instructed to announce to the I ouse the names of the new Administratioa. They were as follows :—George Brown, Inspector-Geucrul and Premier ; James Morris, Speaker of be Leiislative Council; Michael :Foley, Postmaster General; John S. M`Donabl, Attorney-General of Canada West ; U. Mowatt, Provincial Secretary; Dr. Connor, Solicitor-Gem.... rid of Lower Canada; L. V. Drummond, Attorney- General of Canada East ; G. B. Dorion, Commissioner of Crown Lands; M. Thibaudean, Bureau of Agriculture ; M. Lemieux, Re • ceiver- General ; L. H. Holton, Public Works; M. Laberge, Solicitor-General of Canada East. The names of Messrs. Drummond, Dorion, and Thibaudeau elicited loud laughter and exclamations from the supporters of the late Ministry. Mr. Pa•rick said that he was not ,authorised to make any statement on that occasion of the views of the new Government in regard to the measures before the house, but that he hoped to be able to do so to morrow. On the motion that a new be issued for Montreal, vacated by Mr. Durion's acceptance of office, Mr. Langevin moved that the resolution be amended by adding to it the following words :—" That this house, while ordering the said writ, must at the same time state that the Administration, the formation of which has created this vacancy, does not possess the confidence of this house and the country." The amendment gave rise to a vehe ment debate, in which Mr. Caucbon, the Hon. Hamilton Merritt, Mr. Gall, Mr. Morin, Mr. Peche, and Mr. Neiman took part. At six o'clock the house adjourned for an hour and a-half. The debate will probablylast all night. In the Upper House the conduct of the member.) of the new Admi nistration was violently assailed. In both houses it is be lieved that the majority against them will be large, although immense efforts are being made by them to win over sup porters. The only altetnative left will be a dissolution, and this the Governor-General is violently opposed to. AuG. 3, 10 P.m. "Votes of want of confidence in the Brown-Dorion Ministry Wf re passed last night in both houses by large ma jorities, the vote in the Upper House being 16 to 8, and in the lower 71 to 31. It is not improbable that there will be a dissolution,r l .though the Governor-General is strongly op posed. to such a step. In the contest for West Middlesex 'tie anti-Ministerial candidate was in a majority of 125 on the first day's poll. A❑ opposition is threa•ened to Mr. Brown's (the Premier's) return for Toronto. The Legisla tive Courcil met thii morning and passed a resolu'ion de claring, their regret at: the vote of the Lower Ilouse on the scat. of Government question, and deneuncing it as an ill-- suit td, her Majesty." . . . THE Irswrcn MURDER.—This (Tuesday) morning the murderer of Susan Studd wes execu'ed at Ipswich. lie Was only •27 years of age. Ile confessed that he was guilty of the murder, but that he had no intention of committing such a crime. His father, an old man of 7:2, had a painful interview with him on Monday. The unfortunate young man ascended the scaffold, at tended by Calcraft, who lost no time iu performing his duty, and the criminal died without ti struggle• TERRIBLE THUNDER-STORM AND SHOWER OF ICE. A thunder-storm at Coleraine hes done considerable d mage. IQ scribiog the mischief that resulted from violence„ .. .llcal paper says :—" We were watching t playitigeof ee W lightning flashes, when all at once t heavens clave asunder, as itwere, and a ball of fire descend with heitleitile itridity. We saw it strike one of the ri , which- are no , being - erected for the cupola, and ex plode with a Tremendous rep , rt, louder and sh:rper that.. 30 stands cif . aril% and which was heard over the town, to tile teilne terror of not a few. The rib struck an t part of the scaffolding were hurled in splinters in ever. , direction to a considerable distance. The fluid, is its descent? 1 through the tower, split a large plank from end to end, an r i . striking against the side of the wall, forced or shut out 4, large stone in a solid piece of masonry about two inches on:: I of its place. Several of the workmen who were standing oni the floor underneath were thrown down, and one or two very much stunned. Had any of the tower given way, the consequecces would have been frightful. At the Coleraine station of the Ballymena and Tortrush Railway the effect of the storm was great;y felt; and so strongly persuaded were some of the gentlemen - on the platform that the building had been struck and damaged, that a porter was sent round to examine. No fracture was perceptible, though the whole place shook after one of the thunder peals. The train from Portrusb came in while the storm was at its height, bringing a number of children and young girls from Portrnsh and the White Rocks, where they had been to enjoy a pleasure trip. The little ones were pale with terror, and were glad to comply with the invita tion of Mr. Parsons to go into the waiting rooms of the station until the force of the storm was spent. One of the porters, named Colvin, had hisfuot severely injured by the lightning, so much so that it is feared it will . be useless. Anotherinstance of the destructive nature of the storm which occurred in the village of Macosquio, may be mentioned. Towards the even ing a man named Campbell, who was sitting at his Own f i re _ side, was struck by a current of electricity and rendered insensible. Medical aid was at once, called in, and he is now doing well. At the.same time, and with the same dis charge of the destructive fluld, two dogs which were in the house beside Campbell were instantly killed. On the Keady road, near " Barney's of the Mountain," some distance from Newtownlimavady, a man named Smyth who was suit filling a cart of bit f, and the horse in the cart, were both instantly killed by the lightning, and the cart was consi derably damaged. Tee neighbourhoof of Bushmills was also visited with the storm in all its in teneity—te the thtin der, lightning, and rain being added 'the more untalisi phenomenon of a shower ef ice, many of the pieces of which measured several inches in circumference."

The pos'irgs for sale in November nre numerous and heavy. They include the estates of the Earls of At ran, Kentriare, Portarlington, Col. Greville, Col. Leslie, Sir Thigh Massey, and many others of considerable extent. THE CAHIR TITLE. In reference to this title a para2raph recently appeared in the IVaterford lu ail. The statement it contained was, however, denied by an anonymous correspondent in a morning contemporary, and the Mail now repeats its asser tion more explicitly :—" The gentleman alluded to in a paragraph which has appeared in our columns of the 3d instant is Mr. William Butler, of Suir Lodge, County Tip perary, grandson of the late r. Thomas Butler, of Kilcash and Ballvknocken, and only surviving sen of the late Mr. William - Butler. We understand he is taking measures to assert his claim to the barony of Cahir." A JAPIIET IN SEARCH OF A FATHER. At Dunmanway petty sessions, the other day, a case was heard which excited considerable interest. Tim prosecutor is a gentleman of great respectability, and this, added to the curious nature of the charge he had preferred against the prisoner, caused the court to he densely thronged. On the bench, along with the magistrate, sat Capt. Shuldham, A.D.C. to the Lord Lieutenant, and several other gentle men of station were also present. The pr,secution wes at the suit of Mr. William O'Neil Daunt, of Kilcasken. The prisoner was placed at the table. He is a young man of military appearance and bearing, and stood in an erect posture as if on parade, and seemed, judging from his ap pearance, to he perfectly at ease and sure of the justice of his claim. He gave his name in a firm and manly voice, es Vincent O'Neill Daunt, having no certain place of residence in this country, except Kilea-ken. Mr. William O'Neil Daunt, swot n, deposed that the pri soner was an impostor and a vagrant. He never heard of him before May last, when he received a letter having the Quebec post-mark, which stated that the writer had seen an advertisement in a newspaper fur him as 1,.0rd Vincent O'Neil Daunt, and duly full . .. Tilling him (Mr—Daunt) that the writer was the person. Moreover, it appeared that a sum of X,:2,000 had been offered for information respecing this Lord Visteent O'Neill Daunt; that this fellow (point log to the prisoner) came to his house last Wednesday, and said that he was the identical person, when he.nuabe!Lbe!su out, and desireg i likk. Lo i lr / V the police and gave him is charge. The bench then called on the prisoner for his defence. He seemed in no nay abashed by the evidence of Mr. Daunt, hut proceeded in a very connected and emphatic manner to sate as follows :—Tnat be believed that every one in this neighbourhood was well acquainted with his father, the presrmt Mr. O'Neil Daunt ; that he (the pri soner) was born before marriage, and that when taken to be bapibed, the minister (the Rev. Mr. Neale) refused to do so until he first married his mother. When his father con sented he was then baptised, and the registry was made in the church beoks at liallytuoney and afterwards at Desertscrges Church. That he was given out to muse, and that his nurse substituted her own son, who was afterwards put forward in the world by Mr. Daunt, but the imposition was found out, and adver tisements were put in the newspapers for him. That he remembered well the last time he saw his father. That he spoke kindly to him hintand gave him half a sovet eign to pur chase clothes. That he enlisted in the army. That he was stationed in Belfast with his company in the year 1813. That while there he saw a letter in the Freeman giving an account of the imposition referred to; and anxiously asking for information respecting the real Vincent O'Neil Daunt. This letter was signed by Mr. Daunt, the same gentleman now before them, and he repeated the letter fully from memory, until interrupted by— The Court stated that, notwithstanding . be could prove ell he said to be true, he ito' no light whatever to enter forcibly the residence of Mr. Daunt. Prisoner—l deny entering forcibly. Court—Well, suppose we let you off this time will you promise not to annoy Air. Daunt any more? Prisoner—l avid not promise any such thing. I have a claim on hire; he is my father, and I bare no other name, and if Icalled myself Lord O'Neil Daunt, he has styled me such in the public press. • Court—You may have annoyed him through ignorance. Prisoner—No, it was not through ignorance. He is my father. Mr. Daunt—l L's false, sir. Every word Son say is a false hood. Prisoner—lt is a very bard cars between father and son. (Laughter.) On your oath bad you ever a son called Vincent ? Mr. Daunt—l have only one son. Prisoner—What was tho name of your first son? Mr. Danny—l never had but ene Ron. Prisoner—Who, then, is the Brodriek in the army? - Mr. Daunt—l know nothing of him; never heard of such a parson in the army. Prisoner (in a coufidental tone)—Oh ! there are many private communications between father and son which are not proper to be spoken of in a public court. Prisoner to Capt. Shuldhem—l landed at Passaze WednesOrtv inst. I belonged to the G6tld ltegimuot. 1 was eiscLarged at my own request with a gratuity of £l2, in the year 1844. My regimental number was 1,353. I served 14 years. The bench then appeared to have taken a new view of the case, and sent for Dr. Hollnes ' when Capt. Barry arrived, and baring taken a seat on 11w bench, Dr. Holtne3 was ca ll e d, who, with the magistrates and Mr. Datint, held a private conversation for a long time, of which nothing could be heard, but it was suspec:ed to have been in refer ence to some reports about the town 'as to the prisoner's • The prisoner was then examined by Capt. Barry—Was born at Mandl, near Duntuanway. Was away from this country since ltl2. Is about 36 years of age. Tint is ray father there (poiutinz to Mr. Daunt). Did not do an- j thing about the matter whe n f is t h e saw t h e l e tt e r i n the .1 , 1 er. - man , because be wanted to have thines• become quiet first. Went to America. Heard there also of his ,lat ber's wish to find him out. When he came home, 1 turned out Itnsrttieaedd. of being well received, be was livsitly r out of doors, and given in charge to a policeman, and was in gaol ever since. Cannot name any particular person with whom he was acquainted formerly, except the woman who nursed him. licr name was Margaret Brodriek. She wrote to him to America to say she was still alive. When he was stationed in Kinsale, his captain (Capt. Clarke) re ceived a letter from Mr. Daunt, inquiring about him. The captain showed him that letter. His father did not want him to go home at that time, but to get information respect ing him. --- The magistrates having again consulted, Mr. Connor addressed the prisoner. You have heard al ready what we have to say. You had no right to entcr Mr. O'Neil Daunt's residence forcibly. We have power to punish you for that, but you seem to be under some strange hallu cination, and we will let you cif if you promise-- Prisoner (angrily)—l cannot promise. I think the gentlemen of this court are not willing to do me justice. I went to Mr. Daunt as my father, but-- Mr. Daunt—lf you come again, I will send for Mr. Connor and the police, and have yen punished. Prisoner—You may do as you p!case with me ; punish, or shoot, or do anything else you like. You are the only man in this ceurory who has a right to do so—you are wy father. ' Court—We cannot bear any more about it. e lf r m you n can m y prove what you say, you are going t he wron g wa y abo ut it , and if you come here again cha r g ed "I'll giving Mr. Daunt annoyance we will most certainlypumsh you. though Pris Oner—l don't care. I cannot call any 0a father but Mr. O ; N at e n il a n g aertimti, andu ug z h tl l i m y a c z be thought prcve it to t e , an n el nothing of here, you all. The prisoner then left tt. e r .onrt-hsuse, evidently an object of attraction to a great number of persons, who appeared to sympathise with him.
