THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect hag 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 than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it.

To which are added remarks on the wonders of the licroscop2 in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina tion, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. BY SAMUEL LAWERT, M.D.. .i 7, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. 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, 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 condi tion, and who are conscious of 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 be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the 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 derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. - Published by J.

The Secretary of State for War has decided on making an important alteration in the dress of the troops serving in India, in order to promote the health and comfort of the soldiers exposed to that climate. For the present dress is to be substituted a suit of a light drab colour, made of a strong ma terial chiefly composed of cotton, consisting of a tunic and loose trousers. Instead of the Govern ment providing . the men with this dress, as at pre sent, commanding officers of regiments and depots will be permitted to employ any contractor they please to furnish the new clothing, the authorities at the Horse Guards paying the colonel or other commanding officer a certain price for each suit supplied. As soon as the necessary arrangements have been completed the regiments now in India and the troops about to embark will be supplied with the new clothing. The following vessels were on Saturday taken up by the Council for India for the conveyance of reinforcements to India :—viz., the Colgram, to sail on the 4th of November ; the Bombay, to sail on the sth of November; the Mary Harrison and the Mystery, each to sail on the 6 th of N ovember. A considerable number of invalid soldiers from India are now in the military hospital at Great Yarmouth. Sick men are also received from the various camps and depots throughout England. The hospital is on the Denes, near Yarmouth. Lieut.-Colonel R. C. Moody, Royal Engineers, in charge of a detachment of Sappers and Miners about to proceed to British Columbia, has shipped a two 7-inch cylinder Boydell's traction engine of 10-horse power and endless railway cars adapted for the rough roads of that country, to serve in the erection of the Government works to be con structed there. Sergeant-Major Phillips, 14th Battalion, Royal Artillery, Woolwich, and Sergeant-Major Kinnear, sth Battalion, have succeeded jointly to the £2O annuity relinquished by Quartermaster Martin on obtaining his commission ; and two gratuities of £l5 each have been awarded to six gunners of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich. from r Stores oQuartermastert at he seNrrovelw Oliphant,e with hasth e been nominal late o m pi ne ar ml distinctioned t o Commissary retire o of f Captain, R.A., and an annuity at the rate of 1 ls. per ltis day. reported that the provisions of the warrant recently issued by the War-office regulating the grades, rank and emoluments, and general position of the medical officers of the army, are about to be extended in every particular to the medical depart ment of the navy. THE MILITIA. Militia air,A A d rtill e t r he Cm y, has o mn r e a ee i d v a e n o dt an order the East t S o extend u ffol k this regiment's period of training for a week be yond the time originally named. The 2d Royal LanarLanark Militia ]eft the Curraoh on Wednesday , for Ship-street Barracks, D u bli n . The following ord er was issued on the occasion : "Major-General Sir J. Chatterton has much plea sure in expressing his approbation of the very clever manner in which the 2d Royal Lanark Mi litia passed his inspection on Saturday. The man ner in which the different manoeuvres were per formed, the soldier-like appearance and steadiness of the men under arms, and all that came under the Major-General's observation, proved the zeal, atten tion, and abilities of Major Tattnall, the command ing officer, and those under his o rders ; and the Major-General regrets so good and so efficient a corps is about to be removed from his command." The company of Waterford Artillery which were in quarters at Pendennis Castle have been removed suddenly to join the regiment at Portsmouth, whither it has been transferred from Devonport. The consequence is that there is not a soldier at pre sent in Falmouth, or in fact in any part of the county of Cornwall. It is .reported that a company of the Hampshire Militia will soon occupy the quarters vacated by the Waterford. The first Conversazione of the Hertford Literary and Scientific Institution for the season, 1858-59, took place in the Council Chamber, at the Town hall, on the evening of Tuesday. About 40 ladies and gentlemen were present—a fair attendance for the first night of the season, though the atten dance would no doubt have been larger if the weather had not been unfavourable. Mr. LUDLOW having been called to the chair, an nounced that Robert Dimsdale, Esq., would read a paper on "The Newspaper Press." Mr. DIMSDALE, who was most cordially received, then advanced to the table in the centre of the apart ment, and read an able and interesting " Historical sketch of the Newspaper Press." He commenced by remarking on the wonderful influence of the newspaper, which moulded, unperceived, the thoughts of its readers, influenced their convictions, and passed their very opinions through what Coleridge called " the flattening mills of its power." Feeble in its infancy, and gradual in its development, it had become gigantic in its maturity. It was already gathering up into itself many of the influences which formerly per tained to Parliament itself. Much of the talent, energy-, and literary ability which had heretofore found its way to the benches of the House of Com mons was now concentrated upon the public press But though the newspaper was the leader of opinion its readers had in all ages been the mark for the taunts and invectives of the moralist and the poet. Crabbe wrote of the newspaper— " To you all readers turn, and they can look Pleased on a paper, who abhor shook. Those who ne'er deigned their Bible to peruse, _ _ Would think it hard to be deniedihe news ;" _ _ - and lately the Duke of Argyle had warned the members of a Mechanics' Institute against the " frivolity of gtivnitper reasVia. : Another public man had iironouneed ' - er . 'dit%;ll- 7 11T - extravagantly unjust on the other side, when he said that he " had rather possess one copy of the Times than all the works of Thueydides.' Dr. Samuel Johnson more correctly appreciated its worth than either. " I never take up. a newspaper (he said) without find ing something I should have deemed it a loss not to have seen ; never without deriving instruction and amusement." Sir E. B. Lytton had described the newspaper as "a law-book for the indolent, a ' sermon for the thoughtless, and a library for the poor." Doubtless all reading might be superficial, but the result depended upon the reader himself. The Times contained each day a complete history of what was going on around us in every quarter of the world, and well-written articles on every subject, contributed by the best living authors. And to us, living in a free country, blessed with institutions which, to adapt the language of the Athenian orator, made " the public business of Eng land the private business of every Englishman ;" it had become a necessity. We might rail at it as superficial, and kick at the influence it exerted, but we could not do without it. We must treat it, like the electric telegraph, or the steam engine, as the great motive power of the age, capable of being regu lated for g• id, but not to be checked without detri ment to the public interests. The immediate prede cessors of the journalists were not the pamphleteers of the Reformation; but the writers of the ancient newsletters were dependants of great men, employed in keeping their patrons informed of the news of the day. At a later period, subscription lists were opened, and the customers of the writers supplied with separate news-letters. The transi tion from these to the printed circular of news was easy ; but the reign of the old news carrier was, " nevertheless, a long one. The first newspaper was printed in England in 1622, not at the time of the threatened Spanish invasion in 1588, as has long been supposed, the English Mercury bearing that date having been proved to be a literary imposture. 1 The Weekly News, published for the first time in May, 1622, contained a brief notice of foreign in telligence, cautiously worded, but which, neverthe less, did not always save the editor from the inter ference of Government. James I. and Charles I. successively tried to crush the press, and the writers and publishers of newspapers had not unfrequently to bear such merciless penalties as confiscation, the pillory, nose splitting, and ear lopping. The press, however, survived these attempts to destroy it ; and soon after 1611, when the Star Chamber was abolished, the King and the Parliament found it necessary to carry a printing press in their train, as a means of appealing to the masses of the population. The debates in Parlia ment were first published at this period ; but Parliament taking alarm, forbad any publication which did not bear its own - imprimatur. The fortunes of the second editor of the Weekly News were somewhat chequered during the progress of the struggle between the King and the Parliament, and he saved his head by changing sides on more than one occasion, editing the Mercurius Pray maticus, on behalf of the Royalist party, and the Mercurius Politicus, on behalf of the Parliament. The success of the popular party did not, however, serve to extend the liberty of the press, and the censorship was established at th e s word's point, despite the splendid protest of Milton in his " Areopagitica." With the Restoration the censor ship became more strict ; but for all the efforts of the Government, seventy newspapers contrived to exist during the reign of Charles 11., and in 1665, Mini sters found it necessary to establish the ,04'ord Gazette, under the editorship of an Under-Secre tary of State, to counteract the influence of the opposition journals. On the accession of William 111. brighter days dawned for the press, and the num ber of twenty-six new journals were started at the commencement of the reign of that sovereign. A journal, called the Orange Intelligencer, became the organ of the Government. At first the liberated press indulged in some extravagances, but the jour nals soon, learned the necessity for self-restraint, and showed by their conduct that there is no better security for order and moderation than implicit confidence in popular good sense and the exemp tion from unnecessary restraints. In the reign of Anne the jury system came to the help of perse ' cuted editors, and favourable verdicts released them from the attempted persecutions of the Ministers of the Crown. The press contined to gather power. The year 1709 was an important epoch in the his tory of newspapers, for then appeared the Courant, Spectator, Miler, Guardian, and Freeholder, with essays from which we were all familiar,.but which were originally published as newspapers, with ad vertisements and news. Hallam, the historian, fixed the period as that at which the press first obtained real power and significance. Government began to be alarmed at the increasing power of the press ; it did not dare to re-establish the censorship, and so attempted to attain its object by imposing a stamp duty of Id. upon every newspaper half-sheet, and of ld. upon every whole sheet, besides ls. on advertisements, and a heavy tax on paper, which was unfortunately retained to the present hour. The effect of the imposition of a stamp duty was humor ously described by Swift in one of his letters to Stella; 6 , Do you know (wrote he) that Grub-street is dead and gone last week ! No more ghosts or murders now, for love or money. . . . The Obserrator is fallen—the medleys are jumbled together witlithe Flying Post—the Examiner is deadly sick—the Spectator keeps up, and doubles its price. I know not how long it will hold out." Swift's anticipa tions were realised. In 1713, a year after the im position of the stamp duty, the Spectator ceased to exist. In the reign of George 1., the stringency of the press laws was increased ; but Parliamentary debates were, at the same period, for the first time regularly published, and, upon the whole, the press made a steady, though not rapid progress. In 1745, when the second rebellion broke out, Government was glad to invoke its aid in support of the Hano verian dynasty ; and Fielding, who lent them his support in the True Patriot, Was pensioned off when his task was done, on the salary of a Bow street magistrate. This was significant as showing that the Government had found it expedient to cultivate an alliance with the press, instead of legis lating to its detriment. The anal battle between the Crown and the press came off in the reign of George 111., when the North Briton, a scurrilous paper, edited by John Wilkes, was suppressed, and he committed to the Tower under order of a general warrant. The press, however, won the victory ; for the judges decided in Wilkes' favour, and pro nounced for ever against general warrants. 'Wilkes was an unmitigated scoundrel, but his cause was good, and the people of this age might rejoice with his cotemporaries, that, by his triumph, ha ad vanced one step onward in its course the liberty of the press. The letters of Junius, addres se d t o th e Public Advertiser, and first published in 1769, effected a complete revolution in our newspaper literature. There were no leading articles in those days, and comments on public affairs appeared in the form of letters, without signatures. These anonymous scribblers, who were in abundance, were thus described by Crabbe " There are a numerous tribe to fame unk nown . • Who, for the public good, forego their own ; • Who—volunteers—in paper-war enga ge With double portion of their party's r age : , In Junius, however, was to be found the germ of the modern " leading article." The oldest of the existing daily papers—the .21forning Chronicle— was established in 1769, by William Woodfall, celebrated as a reporter of the proceedings in Parlia ment at a time when reporting was a contraband trace. Perry, the editor of the Gazeteer, and Grey, purchased the Chronicle of Woodfall in 1789, and, under their joint editorship, it attained its greatest reputation, the celebrity of the paper being increased by the exertions of Perry, at great per sonal risk, to enrich the paper with foreign infor mation from Paris. Lord Campbell, when a young man, was one of the reporters for the Chronicle, and a more remarkable man—Thomas Campbell, its theatrical editor. The Chronicle obtained its largest circulation about the time of the Peterloo massacre and the Manchester riots. The Times then hung back from the popular cause ; but, on the occasion of the trial of Queen Caroline, flung itself heart and soul into the service of the Queen. Aft9r Perry's death, the Chronicle was sold to Mr. Clements for £42,000, from that time till 1843 was conducted by Adam Black, and lost much of its popularity by the doctrinaire spirit which pervaded it ; whilst its attacks upon the unpaid nfagistracy were bitterly resented by the country gentlemen. Its circulation, however, largely increased for a short time, when, in 1835, the Times tranferred its support from the Liberals to Sir Robert Peel. The Morning Post was established 1772 by John Bale, who was succeeded by the Rev. Henry bate, who, in 1780, quarrelled with his fellow proprietors and set up the Morning Herald. Amongst the contributors to the Post were Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Sir James Mackintosh, and Macworth Praed, the friend and early rival of Macaulay. The Herald started by Bates, became at a later date the organ of the Carlton House party, and adhered to the_fortunes of the Prince of Wales. The Times, the young . est of this group of public journals, was started in 1788. It acquired no re markable position under its first proprietor, the elder Mr. Walter, Inlt during the reign of his son, from 1803, it rapidly advanced in importance. It supported the administration of Lord Sidmouth, opposed the alleged malversations of Lord Melville, and afterwards gave in its adhesion to Mr. Fox. In 1814, after much opposition from the printers, it was printed by steam. In 1830, at the time of the Reform agitation, it pre-eminently took the lead among' the daily journals, by the power and pungency of its articles, and obtained that monopoly of circulation which has since thrown its rivals into the shade. But it was in the year of revolutions, 1848, that its circulation first outnumbered that of all other daily journals put together; and since then it had gone on increasing the distance between it and them, till it had almost converted the repub lic of journalism into the autocracy of a single ruler. It was impossible to doubt that the Times was a real power in this country, though its inconsistency and unscrupulousness made it an unsafe guide in seasons of danger. It did, however, render inesti- finable services - to the common country at the time of the Crimean war, in arousing Ministers from their lethargy, a nation inflated with pride to a 'sense of their duty and their danger. The provincial press, in the time of Pitt, occu pied the very lowest place ; but Pitt undertook to reform and improve them, by supplying them with the very earliest information from official sources. He directly advantaged himself by this policy, and indirectly benefited the country ; for the Vtrhigs, not willing to be outstripped, set themselves to work to improve their own organs, and the tone and character of the whole was Changed. This improvement weakened the centralising pow(r of the metropolis, and promoted that - diffusion -of influence through our rural districts, which so beneficially distinguished Eng land from the nations of the continent, and had preserved our liberties unimpaired through con vulsions which have shattered the constitutions of neighbouring states. After referring to the influ ence of the successive alterations in the stamp duty, and its influence upon the press, the subsequent illicit issue of unstampcd publications which, in the language of Lord Brougham, " vied with each other in the ferocity of their writings," the reduction of the duty (which had been increased to 4d.) to ld. in 1836, and its final abrogation in 1855,—Mr. Dimsdale noticed the fact that 107 new journals had sprung to life under the fostering influence of the later change, many of which maintained a con siderable and increasing circulation. The three daily London papers,—the Telegraph, the Star, and the Standard, contradicted by their success, prog nostications of failure, and by their general tone, allayed the fears entertained by some, that the re moval of the fetters would increase the licentious ness of the press. He believed that the new move ment had already created; and would create, fresh classes of readers, and viewed even in an educa tional light, it should be regarded with hope rather than apprehension. Might our noble fourth estate, which had so long escaped continental weakness and American scurrility, be long cherished amongst us as an institution impressed with the best features of our national character, and coeval in the varied stages of its progress with that of the Crown, the Church, and the State of England. At the close of the reading of his paper, Mr. Dimsdale was very warmly applauded. The com pany then took tea and coffee ; after which they returned to their scats, and a very interesting con versation ensued on topics suggested by the lecture, —such as the feasibility of cheap newspapers in a commercial point of view—their uses in ex tending the reading class—the moral character of the Times—and the machinery by which its political course is directed. The- eonversazione lasted until nearly half-past ten o'clock, when, Mr. J. J. GRIPPER, proposed, in appropriate terms, the thanks of the company to Mr. Dimsdale for his able, instructive, and suggestive paper. Mr. HANNAM seconded the vote of thanks, which was agreed to by acclamation. Mr. DIMSDALE briefly acknowledged-the compli ment, expressing his gratification at being able to contribute to promote the object of the Literary Institution, in promoting these agreeable reunions. Mr. LUDLOW announced that, at the next con versazione, Mr. E. Manser would read a paper on " Granada." LIGHTS AT SEA. The Piedmontese Gazette publishes a Royal de cree approving of a series of regulations, to come into force from the Ist Jan. next, requiring all ves sels under the Piedmontese flag to carry certain lights from sunset to nightfall, in order to prevent collisions at sea. All steamers are, from the above date, to show a white light forming an arc of 225 degrees at the fore topmast head, a green light form ing an arc of 1121- degrees on the starboard pad dlebox, and a red light on the larboard one. On board screw steamers the latter are to be situated on the gunnels. They are, ' moreover, to be pro vided with shades so situated that the green light cannot be seen from the larboard, nor the red light from the starboard side. Sailing vessels or steamers under sail without steam are to carry the same lights except that at the bow. Pilot-boats are to carry a white light at the masthead. in addition to a moveable one, to be hoisted every quarter of an hour. Vessels anchored in roads or channels are to show a _white globular light two decimetres in diameter, visible from every point of the horizon, at an altitude not exceeding six metres. In dark nights with a clear sky the white lights at sea are to be visible at a distance of five miles ; the red and green at a distance of two ; the white lights on board vessels at anchor at a distance of one mile. Besides precautions every steamer is to have a steam whistle at the bow at a height of 21 metres from the deck ; besides a bell and a horn for signals during fogs, when the whistle is to be heard every five minutes ; sailing vessels or steamers under sail are, during fogs, to sound the horn when they are on the star board tack, and toll the bell when on the larboard one. For small sailing vessels there regulations are somewhat modified, their lights being smaller and more portable. To understand the, operations of this system, let us suppose that a vessel A sees both the red and green lights of the vessel B ; the captain will at once perceive that he is running straight in B's course. If he sees a white light above the coloured ones, he concludes that B is a steamer ; in the contrary case he recognises her as a sailing vessel. If A only sees a red or a green light, then B's course is either parallel or perpen dicular to A's, the colour denoti n g whether it be on the starboard or larboard side, and so on. The importance of having the shades so placed that only one light may be seen when the two courses do not coincide in a d irect line is obvious. On board steamers there are always to be at least three men on the watch ; one at the bow, and the others at the sides. During fogs all vessels are to ease their speed. In narrow channels, vessels are, as much as possible, to take the starboard side. There are several other minor details which we omit ; but we have said enough to show that if the above rules were adopted by all nations, collisions at' sea would become next to impossible. GUILDFORD, 0c..: _ The polling in this borough commenced to-day at eight o'clock. :The number of electors is about 560, and a great number ofthem had recorded their votes at an early hour of the day, but from the com mencement it was evident that the return of Mr. Onslow was almost certain. The first return was made at 9 o'clock, when the numbers were declared as follows : Onslow - Evelyn Majority for Onslow —32 At 10 o'clock the numbers were -201 Evelyn n w 171 Majority for Onslow —27 At 11 o'clock : Onslow Evelyn Majority for Onslow At 12 o'clock : Onslow Evelyn Majority for Onslow At this time it will be seen that 459 voters had gone to the poll, and the returns for each succeed ing hour made very little alteration in the numbers, Mr. Onslow still retaining about the same majo rity. At the close of the poll the numbers were— Onslow Evelyn Majority for Onslow There was no official declaration of the poll, the Mayor having appointed Monday morning for that purpose. There was a good deal of excitement in the town during the day, and several fights took place between the adherents of the two candi dates, but nothing of a serious nature. REIGATE. REIGATE, 0ur.„23. At - fro'clock - this morning the polling Vocal.§ were opened, the principal one being in the town of Reigate and the other at Redhill,or lteigate Foreign, as it is termed. The contest, as was contemplatd, has been a very close one, and until nearly the close of the poll it was very uncertain which of the two candidates would be the successful one. The friends of Mr. Wilkinson made the most strenuous exertions to place him at the head of the poll upon the first return bein. , made, and by a strong effort they succeeded in doing so, the numbers declared at 9 o'clock being :—Wilkinson, 87 ; Monson, 83 •, majority for Wilkinson, 4. This put the friends of Mr. Wilkinson into very great spirits, but the re turns of the succeeding hour damped their ardour. At 10 o'clock another return was made, when there appeared to have voted for Mr. Monson 182, and for Mr. Wilkinson 170, the minority of the preceding hour being thus changed into a majority of 12 for Mr. Monson. The polling after this time was very slack, the greater portion of the electors having already recorded their votes. At 1 o'clock the num bers were— Monson Wilkinson Majority for Monson -18 At 2 o'clock the numbers were— Monson .. . Wilkinson . Majority for Monson This return created intense excitement among the supporters of Mr: Wilkinson, and they declared that a number of their adherents who had held back Were beginning to poll, and that at the next return they,should have a majority. They were, hOwever, , disappointed, for at 3 o'clock the numbers were— Monson • Wilkinson Thus increasing the majority of Mr. Monson to 15. During the succeeding hour only seven voters polled, four of whom gave their votes for Mr. Mon son and three for Mr. Wilkinson, the numbers re turned at 4 o'clock thus being— Monson Wilkinson Majority for Monson When the last return was made the friends of Mr. Monson who were in his committee room at the White Hart gave three tre mendous cheers, and warmly congratulated him upon the result of the contest, and shortly after 5 o'clock they escorted him to the Town-hall, where the official declaration of the poll was to be made. Mr. Wilkinson was also present, accompanied by a large number of his supporters, and Mr. Monson was received with a tremendous volley of groans and hisses by the friends of the unsuccessful candi date, and this, joined to the cheers of his own sup ' porters, rendered the noise almDst deafening. The returning officer (Mr. Martin), a very aged gentle man, who has filled that office in the borough for more than half a century, in vain endeavoured to say a few words to the meeting, and at length he was obliged to content himself with announcing in dumb show the official declaration of the poll as follows : For Mr. Monson For Mr. Wilkinson Majority for Mr. Monson —ls and he therefore declared the Hon. W. J. Monson to be duly elected as a burgess to serve in Parlia ment for the borough of Reigate. This announcement was received with loud cheers by the friends of Mr. Monson, and with tremendous Tells and hisses by those of Mr. Wilkinson. Mr. Monson in vain endeavoured to address the electors for a considerable time, but at length he was under stood to say that, after a protracted and arduous struggle, the electors of Reigate had done him the honour of returning him as their representati7e, and he assured them that he was deeply sensible of the honour that had been conferred upon him, and that he would repay the confidence that had been placed in him by carrying out every pledge he had given. At the nomination he had expressed a con fident o2inion that he should be successful, and the event had justified his anticipations, and he ex pressed his thanks to the electors who had given him their votes, to his committee, to whose exer tions his success was mainly attributable, and also to the general body of the electors, for the courtesy and kindness he had experienced from them during his arduous struggle. Mr. WILKINSON then attempted to address the electors, but he could not make himself heard, and after a good deal of noise and confusion a resolution of thanks to the High Bailiff was proposed and carried, and the proceedings of the election were thus brought to a conclusion. This has been the mostsevere contest ever known to have taken place in the borough of Reigate, which was formerly a complete pocket borough in the Tory interest, and it is an extraordinary proof of the change of public opinion to find two gentle- Inen professing extreme liberal opinions contesting the borough, and that out of 505 electors, who com• pose the constituency of the borough, 435 should have recorded their votes. GREAT YARMOUTH. Sir E. H. K. Lacon, who sat for Great Yarmouth from 1852 to 1857, has announced his intention of offering himself as a candidate for the representa tion of the borough at the first opportunity. Sir E. Lacon is a Conservative, and unsuccessfully con tested the borough in March, 1857, against Messrs. M'Cullagh and Watkin. These gentlemen were un seated on petition in the following July, and Sir Edmund then again offered himself as a candidate, but a day or two before the day of nomination he rather abruptly withdrew. Sir Edmund states that the present condition of the borough registra tion is favourable to the Conservative cause. LAWS OF DIVORCE IN AMERICA. — We haYe 32 States, and there are almost as many different laws of di v orce as there are States. The reader may teesone of these dif ferences by the following statement :t In i tho States of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi two-thirds of the Legis lature must concur with the decision of th g e m c z s urt ou to th m c a n k ro e a_ divorce. 2. In Delaware, Maryland, V . i lina, 'Louisiana, and Missouri, no divorce can can be granted but by special Act of Legislature; and South Carolina has never granted a divorce. 3. In the States of Connecti cut, Ohio, and Illinois di vorces arc total. 4. In all di N Mas sachusetts, New York, and North Carolina nothing but adultery is cause of divorce. 5. In Illinois two years' ab sence only is a cause of divorce. 6. In Indiana, we believ e , anything a cause in the discretion of t he Court. —Cy n .' einnattrGacettc. TRAFFIC BETWEEN AMERICA AND ENGLAND.— Ever since the opening of the Crystal Palace in Hyde -park in 1351, the num ber of p erson s visiting Europe from th e U n it e d States has been increasingevery year. F rom th e Ist ult. to the 2(1 inst., the following is the number of pas sengers who left the United States for Europe, by the chief passenger steamers and mail packets, viz.: --Arabia, 70 pas sengers; the Africa, 65; Persia, 170; Canada, 39; Asia. 63; Fulton, 89; Vanderbilt, 429; City of Baltimore, 215; Vigo, 288; Arid, 180; North Star, 114; Edinburgh, 143 ; Saxonia, 239 ; Borussia, 165 ; Hudson, 184 ; Pacific, 186. Thus sixteen steamers left New York for Europe with 2,619 passengers during the s p ace o f thi r t y - one d ays. This is the lar 4 gest number of passengers ever known to have left the Lnited States for Europe within a similar period. The Vanderbilt brought over the largest number, viz., 429, which ever embarked in one passenger steamer. The Vanderbilt will go out again to New York on the 3d proximo from Bremen and Southampton. She will take out a great number of passengers and a large cargo. Room in her for nearly 400 tons of goods is already engaged by the Havre shippers. There are no less than nine steam lines now rummmg between New York and Europe, the ship: of eight of which call or stop at English or Irish ports, viz. Cunard's, Creskey's, Vanderbilt's (Bremen), Vanderbilt's (Havre), Lever's, Liverpool Screw line, Hamburg Bremen line, and Glasgow line, THEA TRICALS t'"X - */ t The approaching wiyfer, with a% evenings, and the consequent retur tourists and .seaafterers after `health ker . surr in f home and abroad,. to the cerelort lb ie .3tiblre s pleasant society of London, hAs pi.../ved frost bon e _ ficial to the theatres and OW; (it' • amuse ment; which are beginning to exhibit it •.! most gra t' tifying increase of visitors nightly.

Boxes, , pit, and ga ll er i es are crow d e d to over fl owing, to the r e p resentat i on o f t h e spar kli ng comedy of " Lon n which ub Mr. lic, b C y h her r . p Mathews ersona plays hi s or i g i na l character of Dazzle, and Mrs-. Mathewsthe attractions l and her vivacious acting in the character •of Lady Gay Spanker. Mr. Charles Mathews also plays his original character of Motley in his own three of "He Would be an Actor." Having noticed, under a distinct head, Mr. Chas. Kean's splendid revival of " King John," at the Princess's Theatre, we need here only recommend all who have not yet seen this grand Shaksperian play, illustrated with the highest artistic taste and liberality, not to lose the opportunity now offered them of witnessing it. •The bold. attempt of an author to undertake the management of an expensive theatre, for the sole purpose of producing a work from his own pen, has been unquestionably successful in the case of Mr. Falconer, who has for several weeks kept the Lyceum Theatre open, mainly by the attraction of his original comedy of " Extremes ; or, Men of the Day." This piece has held its ground in public estimation, notwithstanding some obvious faults in construction and redundancy of dialogue, and the serious injury it suffered from the failure of Mr. Leigh Murray to play the principal character on the production of the piece, and his sudden dis appearance from the part, after having played for some nights, during the run of the comedy. Mr. Falconer's tenancy of the theatre terminated last Saturday evening, when the concluding performance took place. He ' I:owever resume his managerial duties at Christmas, aft e r M. Jullien's temporary occupation of the theatre for - hiat-foiyoll twcerts. MrpWilkie Collins' drama of ‘--IfhelledSial," at • the Olympic Theatre, although it has not proved a • manager's success, possesses a certain attraction for those who like to analyse the literary and dramatic character of a very remarkable, but disagreeable work. We cannot, however, help thinking that the piece owes its chief merit to the admirable manner in which it is acted by . Mrs. Stirling, Mr. Robson, and Mr. Addison. The first-named artiste has startled the public by her unexpected development of wonderful tragic power in the character of the poisoning housekeeper. It is truly a great piece of acting; broad and powerful in its general effect, yet treated with almost pre-Raphaelite attention in its minutest details. Mr. Robson's personation of the contradictory character of the " wise idiot," proves how far his genius can master the incon gruities of thepart. Mr. Addison's acting, as the old merchant, is also exceedingly natural and sug gestive ; yet, with these rare advantagesin the cast of the drama, we fear it will scarcely draw money to the treasury. The new farce of " A Twice-TA. Tale," in which Mr. Lewis Ball plays with great comic talent, and the popular old farce of " Ladies Beware," have filled up the bill of fare during the week. At the Strand Theatre, the new burlesque of " The Maid and the Magpie" has proved the greatest hit known since " Othello according to Act of Parliament" was produced, during Hammond's management at this house. Messrs. Phelps and Greenwood have had no reason to complain of the patronage bestowed upon them. The theatre has been numerously attended to the representation of" Othello," and especially to " The Hypocrite," in which Mr. Phelps plays Dr. Cantwell with consummate ability The revived play of "Ambition," with Mr. Creswick in his original character of Etheiwold, has been produced at the Surrey to fair houses, with the popular drama of " Never too late to Mend" as an afterpiece. Madme. Celeste and Mr. Paul Bedford continue their attraction at the National Standard, in the popular drama of " Flowers of the Forest." Low prices of admission—a new and elegantly decorated house—and a most exciting equestrian drama, with the beautiful scenes in the circle— attracts crowds to Astley's Amphitheatre every evening. The Royal Grecian at the north, the Victoria on the south, and the City of London in the east, have each been doing very satisfactorily. Several novel tics arc in preparation at the various theatres, and some of the more active managements are busily engaged on their Christmas pantomimes. THE LYCEUM COMPANY.—NearIy all the artistes comprising the company of the Lyceum Theatre Will be transferred ou Monday to the Theatre Royal, Manchester, where Mr. Falconer's comedy of " Extremes" will be the attraction. Mr. Leigh Murray will be again entrusted with the character of Hawthorn, in which Mr. Henry Vandenhoff has been playing during the absence of Mr. Leigh Murray from t'i Lyceum. MR. WRIGaT.—We are happy to be able to state that our favourite of the Adelplii, Mr. Wright, is rapidly returning to convalescence, and is now able to walk about. He has received great benefit from the treatment of Dr. Price, of Margate, and has now taken up his quarters at Dover. He is look ing quite himself again, after his terrific shaking. THE DRAMATIC COLLEGE.—The amateurs of Bristol intend shortly to give a dramatic entertain ment, in aid of the Dramatic College. Giuglini, the tenrr, is now engaged at Trieste, at the rate of 16,000 f. per month. After singing a few nights for this immense sum, he proceeds to Madrid, where he is also to be paid some fabulous price. A successful singer gets more money than a prime minister, and is sure to remain longer " in office." HAYMARKET.—\Ir. William Brough has a comic drama for Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mathews, at this theatre. It will be speedily produced there, unless the present successful run of business should. suggest to the management to " let well alone." Mr. Buckrtone is himself to be the architect of his Christmas pantomime, which will, as usual, be founded on a popular juvenile story. PRINCESS'S.—The tragedy of " Macbeth" will he reproduced at this theatre by Mr. Kean, on Monday, the Ist of November. OLYMPIC.—A new comedy, by Mr. Planche, will probably be the next import ant novelty at this theatre ; and a new farce, by Mr. J. M. Morton, is also underlined, and will shdrtly be produced. ADELPIII.—The building of the new theatre pro gresses steadily ; but " more steam" must be put on, to have it ready for opening at. Christmas. THE NEW PAVILION THEATRE —This spacious and splendid theatre, which has been erected in an exceedingly short space of time, by Mr. John Douglas, the proprietor of the National Standard Theatre, will be opened for dramatic performances on Saturday next, the 30th inst. The great size of the stage, with the mechanical aids and ap pliances which have been introduced in the con struction of the theatre, will render this one of the best theatres in the world for scenic and melodra matic effect. M. JULLIEN'S CONCERTS D'A.DIEU.—M. Jullien, after having laboured for a series of years to popu larise music in England — with what success his widely-extended fame will testify—is about to take his departure on what he magnificently styles " his universal musical tour through the capitals and cities of EuroFe, America, Australia, the colo nies, and the civilised towns of Asia and Africa." It is not, however, so much with his projected pro fessional travels, as with the a tt ract i ve " Concerts d'Adieu," which will commence on Monday, the Ist November, at the Lyceum Theatre, that we have now to do. A glance at his programme will satisfy the most fastidious as to the quality of the entertainment provided for these farewell concerts, which, we may predict, will be the most successful series that this enterprising musician has yet offered to the English public. AMATEUR THEATRICAL'. —The officers of the Winchester garrison announce an amateur theatrical performance at the Theatre, on next Thursday, when the farce of " A Blighted Being," the come dietta " The Follies of a Night," and the farce of " A Thumping Legacy," will be represented. Mr. Robert Brough is writing the Christmas ex trava,„t NEW for the Lyceum Theatre. A NF,W THEATRE IN CARLISLE.—The amount subscribed towards the fund for erecting a theatre in Carlisle has now nearly reached £450, indepen dent of-£2OO offered conditionally by Mr. Thorne. £lOO has been subscribed by an influential gentle man of the neighbourhood. Mr. Charles Webb, the well-known dramatic author, and for some time the lessee of the Theatre Royal, Sheffield, has again undertaken the manage ment of that establishment. CANTERBURY HALL.—Next Wednesday this re markable place of amusement will put forth a fresh claim to public support. The picture gallery, placed in a new hall, specially built for the reception of some three or four hundred pictures, of colossal, heroic, life, miniature, and other sizes, by eminent masters, old and modern, is to be thrown op en on the evening of th at day. The organisation of this collection, we hear, has been the work of much time, and of a considerable outlay of capital. f ~ ; ~ ~ - . --+.6.- ~ -`.,,,.... -- -••• _ ,__ _-_ ..-.„---___'_• ..._...N.-_,•__ -,- ''..-s- - • . . - • - - . , , • • e.--) '''....? ...,,••7_,„,0.---.0--e..- --- : - Z - :' - _,...- .•-• 2 •!---C.--..- -i.:l-4.--' . 1 ~..i.,- ---- ----- - e--- - ir- --, -- --- Z (.12- C.l ..., 6 , - ,.. -- • -.._......, - - - -0.--c.....,m_.........___ . • . .
