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 bag of bones." 1e 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, Sze., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselvise es, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity ars 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. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newg,ate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

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 bein; 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 aid 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 sciente. cannot apply a cure.

Extract from Minutes of Consultation transmitted by the Government of Madras, on the 15th May, 1858, to the late Court of Directors of the East India Company : The Government express their unanimous, strong, and earnest advocacy that all irrigation works which, on a com prehensive view of the wants of the country, may be deemed necessary to develop its undoubtedly great resources, be commenced at once boldly and on a large scale, be pressed forward throughout all times and under all circumstances, and be looked on, and be practically treated, as in fact they really are, as the most economical, because the most pro fitable, undertakinbrs in which the Government could pos sibly engage. It iseneedlag; h4r4'agaitr to btlitrfdrwara the innumerable instinces in Which money has in the Pre sidency been most advantageously invested in irrigation works. The proceedings of Government have, in this re spect, been only too desultory and vacillating, and it is confidently asserted that India could be plat xl in a position to pay all her own expenses, and gradu illy dis charge her debt far more readily and speedily by a judicious expenditure than by any scheme of retrenchment or reduc tion. THE TREATY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA. We have received from one of our correspondents in the north of Germany the following translation of the articles of this treaty - : The preamble gives the names of the plenipoten tiaries, who are :—On the part of Russia, Count Euphemius Poutiatin, Aide-de-camp-general of the Emperor, Vice-Admiral, Imperial Ambassador Ex traordinary to the Court of Pekin, and Co'mman der-in-Chief of the Russian fleets in the Pacific ; and, on the part of China, the Imperial Commis sioners and Mandarins of the first class Kwei-Liang, and Hwashana.

The autho rities of both countries on the mutual frontiers shall be in structed to let all couriers with despatches past freely, without causing them any delay or hindrance. The same facility shall be extended t o such couriers as may be only cha rge d w ith verbal messages from the one Government to the other. Ambassadors from Russia may either travel by way of Kiachta and Urga, or through Taku, at the mout h of the river Peiho, or by any oth er ro ute or town ope ned b y China. The Chinese Government binds itself to take the needful measures for the protection and safe conduct of th e am bassador and his suite, as also for the suitable reception due to his rank on his arrival in the capital, where he shall be fur nished with Russia shall a palac e f or the embassy, for whic h pay the usual rent.

" Art. 5. It is mutually agreed that the Emperor of Russia shall enjoy the privilege of appointing consuls in all the above-mentioned ports, as well as to station ships of war there to preserve order amongst the Russian subjects and keep up the power and dignity of the consuls.

A regular postal service shall be im mediately organised between Kiachta and Pekin. For this purpose a Chinese carriage shall run once a month, .and shall deliver the mails at each place in not more than 15 days. Besides this a convoy for heavy goods shall be organised to go once every three months each way, and not td be longer than one month in performing the journey. " Art. 12. All political, commercial, and other privileges accorded by China to other countries shall be immediately, and without atiy—further treaty, extended to Russia. " The ratifications of this present treaty shall be exchanged at Pekin within 12 months from the pre: sent day, or earlier if possible. The original is written in the Russian, Mantcb.u, and Chinese languages, but it is specially agreed that the Mantchu text shall be considered as the basis for the interpretation of the Articles in case of any dispute. Done, at Tien-tsin, 13th June, 1858. (Signed) " COUNT EUTHEMITTS POUTIATIN. " KWEI-LIANG. " HWASHANA." BRITISH COLUMBIA, (From the Times.) The copious and faithful accounts transmitted by our correspondent from the Fraser .River dis tricts have now placed the natural riches of that territory beyond all question. At first, as in the case of all gold discoveries, the reality was exagge rated by rumour, and a " rush" was made from all parts to the new diggings, without reason or in quiry. This excitement was, of course, followed by a reaction, and then the value of the newly opened mines was depreciated in proportion. The lapse of a few months, however, has brought us ac curate representations ofthe facts, and it can nalonger be doubted that British Columbia must be added to the gold producing regions'of the world. The ex ploration of the country is still incomplete, but the banks of the river for many miles together yield supplies of the precious metal abundant enough to enrich and satisfy all but the Californian emigrant, whose cupidity has been stimulated by a long ca reer of speculation and adventure. To miners of this class earnings presenting 30s. or 405. a-day clear profit appear only " moderate," because they have abandoned rich fields of labour with the true gambler's hope of finding something richer still, but the majority of the mining population—" Rus sians, Swedes, Danes, French, Norwegians, Ger mans, English, Scotch, and Irish "—were found contented enough with their gains, as well they might be. At Hill's Bar, one of the richest on the river, the produce had risen as high as £l3 per man per diem. This was an extreme case, but at the lowest estimate it was said that any common la bourer could get his 20s. a-day at this spot by merely letting out his services to others. All this while it was believed that the great centre and source of treasure remained yet to be discovered. The gold deposits on the banks were held to be the mere washings of some intensely auriferous soil, and. the miners were eagerly pushing their way up the river in search of the fountain-head of wealth. Sone confirmation was lent to this impressios by the fact that the diggings did really im prove as the stream was ascended, but it is the nature of gold-seekers to be incessantly on the look out-for yields of fabulous value, and tne weal the Fraser River country may ae considered as we established, even without the discovery of this un• known mine. The gold is not found in the same form as in Australia, nor are any miraculous "nug gets" described for our edification, but the digging is attended with little labour when the scene is once reached. The climate is extremely healthy, and there is scarcely any . sickness. Our correspondent met with only a single invalid throughout his entire voyage. The great difficulty at present seems to consist in making the ascent of the river, but the organisation of traffic sure to follow on the success of the diggings will soon dispose of this impediment. The picture given of the miners and their ways in this new colony is exceedingly instructive, and, upon the whole, satisfactory. The great gold dis cover ice have now followed each other in such suc cession that the practice of treasure-seeking has been refined into something like a system. Dig ging has become a profession, with its rules and ordinances, its precedents and customs—rude enough still, in some respects, but based, neverthe less, for the most part upon natural justice. In Cali fornia the first swarm of adventurers quarrelled, fought, and squandered without stint or measure. In Australia things were a little better, as the situa tion was no longer novel ; and now, on the Fraser River, diggers drop into their places and prosecute their ventures with nearly as much regularity as is seen in ordinary trades. Intoxication seems to be uncommon, and gambling discouraged. There is a general love of order, and a marked desire for a strong and effective Government. " Give us pro tection," say the miners, " and we will pay for the licence willingly." They want, as a body, to live under the law, are well disposed towards the Governor, and promise a hearty, welcome to a judge. All the barbarous features, in short, of this mining life are now disappearing, and diggers are as peaceable, steady-going people in their way, as any other class of working men. For the rest, it is amusing to observe how under these favourable circumstances, the natural, laws of public economy develope themselves. The accumulation of wealth and the division of- classes occur exactly as in the Old World, except that the process is infinitely more rapid. A man begins as a labourer at so much a day, and sees the chief portion of his produce carried off by somebody else who owns the soil, and thus lives by rent, instead of labour. If our opera tive is of an adventurous turn, he employs the first few dollars of his making in a journey up the river on his own private account. By the use of his wits, or his experience, he " prospects" the banks, estab lishes a "claim," and becomes the employer of labour in his turn. If he is less speculative or daring, but still industrious, he hoards his wages till he can pur cak... p .si g ii+ of .-d1 in wane established digging— a half or a quarter interest, or a fifth, or even a tenth. A very few years will probably see even these exceptional communities separated into rich and poor, the former class possessing all the land, the latter nothing but their. dailylabour. There will, how ever, be this peculiarity in the ces3—that, owing to the wonderful rate of progress, the origin of wealth and the origin of poverty will be plainly under stood. Everybody will know that the possession of the soil represents either skilful enterprise or sturdy . self-denial, and that a worse fortune indi cates simply less knowledge or less thrift in the individual or his ancestor. It is just the same in the world we live in, except that the origin of the dis tinction is a good deal more remote. That the value of a possession like the Fraser River territory should still be considered debateable is a signal instance of the advance made in political science. Half a century ago a colony yielding gold by the bucketful would have been set_down at once as the most precious pearl in the Imperial diadem, whereas we are now disposed to institute a regular profit and loss calculation, and ask whether the thing really "pays." In our correspondent's opi nion, it does not, and will not for some time to come —that is to say, it will not be maintained without contributions from the mother country in the shape of civil and military establishments, for which no direct return will be forthcoming. A new country, like an old one, has its expenses, though of a dif ferent character. Roads and bridges require to be made, an administration must be organised, and in the case of a gold region an efficien t poll ce must be kept up. Already, in fact, we are despatching a battalion of regular infantry to these parts, and the garrison of British Columbia will probably figure in oar Army Estimates for some time to come. Such oblivtions, it is said, are not likely to be satisfied at.present out of the colonial Exchequer, inasmuch as the tax upon miners, though willingly paid, is insufficient to meet the demands of Government. We cannot exactly see why this should be. If the miners are sagacious and as successful as our correspondent describes, they ought surely to understand that it is fairly incumbent upon them to pay for their own (From•the i'Vejl - ork Two events have occurred to confirm in a remark able manner the opinion wc so resolutely maintained a few months since, that the British Government had not given up the exercise of the right of search ing American vessels upon the ocean. The readers of the Herald will remember how tenaciously we defended our views, and how clearly we exposed the fallacy of the contrary assertion, with arguments drawn from the guarded declara tions and cautious admissions of the British Mini sters in Parliament, and logical deductions from the past history of the British Government and its policy. To-day we publish in another column the official correspondence upon which the statement that the right of search question had been settled was founded, in which it will be seen that Eng land, instead of abandoning her old claim, has taken a really more insolent position than she be fore held. Not being able to controvert the weight of authority that Was brought against her, she ac knowledges that Mt-letter of the law d.ods not give. her the right she claims, and now demands that the law of nations shall be changed in this respect, so that it may suit her whims. As if to confirm her determination to continue the practice of the right of search come the cases of the American steamers Washington and Catherine Maria, boarded by her officers in a neutral port, and in sight of several American men-of-war, and a full report of their proceedings demanded. It will be seen from the letter of Mr. Dallas, in another column, that on the morning of the Bth of June last he despaired of bringing Lord Malmes bury to the concession of a single point, when sud denly he was called off to meet that gentleman ; and when he resumes the writing of his letter he tells Gen. Cass that something within the last 12 hours had completely changed his lordship's views. The subsequent developments show how completely Mr. Dallas was humbugged. In the memorandum of the conversation of that day with the American Minister, Lord Malmesbury admits that the highest English authorities on maritime law were against his claims, and that France, who was in close alli ance with England, would not submit to them. He tells him that by an arrangement with that Power an English boat might be sent alongside of a French ship and ask to see her papers, but not, unless in vited, board the vessel. On the 11th of June, Lord Malmesbury elaborates in a despatch to Lord Na pier his new position toward the United States. He begins with the same admissions, that the law was against him, with which he had humbugged Mr. Dallas ; then he assumes the championship of civi lisation, and asserts the necessity of a police of the high seas to put down American rascals; and impu dently adds that the way things 411I'e now going on every honest trader will soon fly from the American flag upon the ocean as from a pirate. This neces sity of a " police of the high seas" he defends by an ingenious use of a partial extract from Gen. Cass's letter of the 10th April last, and a citation proving that an American naval officer had exercised the right of search on two French vessels. • We have long ago stated our belief that it was on this slip of Gen. Cass that Lord Malmesbury hung his appa rent concessions, and the fact is now proved. As for the example cited, of the commander of the United States ship Dale, it only proves how little some of our own naval fficers know of their duties and their relations to the merchant service, and shows the necessity of ventilating thoroughly the ques tion of the right of visit and search by men-of-war on the ocean. Lord Malmesbury, also gives, as seemingly against himself, the view taken by the French Ad miral Hammelin, stating expressly, however, that the British Government does not accord in it. The French admiral only claims that a merchant ves sel shall be obliged to show her colours to a man of.war 4 , but without being stopped or tu rned "tj - fftkß 'bourse, unless there is just ground for suspicion. This, however, is a practical admission _ of the necessity of a police on the high seas. It is in practice the European system of making a man show his passport whenever an officer demands it.. A passport is the evidence of a man's identity and nationality, as a ship's colours are of hers. Their forced exhibition on the high seas during a time of peace is an undue exercise of authority, and an im proper call for respect to authorities. It is the erection of Gesler's pole and hat upon the ocean for the citizens of every nation to bow before. Such a practice accords well enough with the theoriea of " the empire," which demand that every private person shall uncover before an official, but it will not set well upon the stomachs of the free citizens of the United States. But the lasttwo paragraphs of Lord Malmesbury's letter to Lord Napier are the most remarkable of all. They convey as distinct: a threat us ever was conveyed in diplomatic language. He tells us that we must admit the establishment of this police of the seas, for " these irritating controversies are in evitable as long as the letter of the international law is made to over-ride these measures" which British experience and arrogance - " recommend for the security of life and property on the high seas ;" but which neither the United States nor France have ever acquiesced in. How Mr. Dallas or General Cass, or any other man possessing common sense, could conceive that this letter of Lord Mal mesbury was a satisfactory settlement of the right of search, we cannot understand. The position of our government is directly anta gonistic to it in all its points ; and that position is clearly laid down in General Cass's letter of the 30th of June. The American idea is there set forth, that the occasional abuse of a flag is a far less evil than the establishment of England's pretensions would be, and that the freedom of all merchant vessels from detention upon the ocean concerns every nation. It is now evident that the question of the 'right of search is not settled, and that our govern ment and that of England are in direct conflict upon it. England has now extended her claim to exercise a police right upon the ocean, to its exer cise in the ports and rivers of neutral weaker nations. The recent proceedings of the British officers in :the harbour of San Juan del Norte and the Colorado branch of that river are of a far more flagrant character than were the proceedings last spring in the Cuban waters. The freedom of our commerce on every sea and in every harbour is involved in the question. The administration and Congress must take it up at once, and maintain the liberty of the American sailor and the American flag everywhere. We are on the eve of an impor tant conflict with the Western Powers of Europe. If we cede our rights now, we shall never recover th'.ui main without u, bloody conflict, that will rock the whole world, and no present cession on our part will secure peace to us. Concession, once begun, knows no end. SHOCKING MURDER IN DERBY. A most atrocious murder was committedin Derby on Christmas eve, which has caused considerable excitement throughout the town, owing to the savage manner in which it was perpetrated. It took place in a public-house, the sign of the bishop Blaze, situated in the Morledge, a somewhat low neighbourhood. The name of the murderer is Arthur Bland, and that of the victim Edwards, whose death was caused through' a stab in the throat with a pocket-knife. It appears that when the militia was first embodied Bland entered it, but he had left the regiment some time. He has, it Is said, once been convicted of stealing, and has since been leading a somewhat dissolute life at a house of ill-fame in the town. He has often accom panied others in various poaching expeditions. Edwards has for some time been living with Bland's sister, and the two men have been on any thing but comfortable terms with one another. They have, on several occasions, quarrelled, and about a fortnight back, fought. They happened to meet on Friday afternoon at the Bishop Blaze, and drank together, when some old grievance was raked up, and they went into the yard to fight. Mr. Pool, the landlord of the house, prevented the fight from taking place, and Bland and Edwards returned to the tap-room. They had some more drink, and shook hands ; but soon afterwards Bland made a sudden plunge with a knife at the throat of Ed. wards, inflicting a frightful wound just beneath the chin. Blood rushed out coveringthe floor. The landlord was informed of what took pl ace , and the murderer was immediately secured and de livered into the custody of the police. A surgeon was instantly sent for, and on his arrival , in about five minutes afterwards, he found Edwards dead. The poor fellow exclaimed, when the wound was inflicted., "Oh ! lam stabbed." An inquest on the body will be held to-day before the borough coroner. The witness was examined at great length. The court adjourned till yesterday,' when Sulli van was again called and cross-examined. Examination resumed—Accompanied by another man on the road leading to Grimoleague, he saw a great number of men drilling with pikes. He took the two oaths at Bantry. He could not say whether he intended to keep them. He had intended to do so. He went to confess. The priest refused to give absolution till he would break through, the oaths. It was at the suggestion of a police officer that he first went to Skibbereen. The examina tion of the approver then ended. , , Adjourned again to this morning. This day seven or eight witnesses were produced who were not examined fully. The examinations were merely read over to them, and they were then cross-examined. One of the constables contradicted the evidence of the 'informer as to. the privacy of the room called the Phoenix.-room, in Morty Down ing's house. He stated that it was always open to the public, and even the constabulary had taken refreshment there. The form of oaths to be taken was not produced, but the informer stated it verbally in his evidence. Three of the prisoners—M‘Carthy. Driscoll, and Stack—had not been examined. They were identified by the informer. The examination terminated at 5 o'clock. M'Carthy, Stack, and Driscoll were discharged on their own recognisances of £lOO to come up for trial when: called upon. Duffin, Dennis, Downing, Patrick Downing, Timothy M'Carthy, O'Shea, and Obson were admitted to bail, themselves in £lOO each, and two securities of £5O each, to appear at the assizes. Daniel M'Carthy, E. Sullivan, Dona ghan, M. Monaghan, W. O'Shea, and Morty Downing, were committed for trial without bail. The solicitors for the prisoners returned thanks to the magistrate and the Crown solicitors for the manner in which the proceedings had been con ducted. COMMERCIAL STATISTICS-PRIVI LEGES OF THE PRESS. A ,case of very considerable interest to the mer cantile community, and involvinc , in its more im portant aspect the freedom of the press, in which certain Custom-house officers, residing in England, who claim to be proprietors of the Clyde Bill o.f Entry, have prosecuted the Glasgow Mercantile Advertiser for publishing the commercial statistics contained in their sheet, occupies a considerable share of public interest. It has been brought under the notice of the Treasury by the merchants of Glasgow, and by the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, but remelt. strances have been of no avail in staying the pro ceedings instituted in the Court of Session against our contemporary. Of course, pending an action at law, we give no opinion on the legal merits o case. There may or may not have been an in fringement of a legal patent right. But the ques tion with which the public and the press have to do lies entirely beyond this domain—and if the Glasgow interests, backed by the public opinion of Scotland, had but a tithe of the spirit which ought to actuate bodies and public men, they would strangle this disgraceful prosecution ere it had proceeded another step. The case is shortly this : a fund has been esta blished for the benefit of Custom-house officers ; and taking advantage of the access which their official connection gives them to the shipping and commercial statistics of the Clyde, they publish these in the shape-of a thrice-a-week Glasgow news paper, called the Clyde Bill of Entry. The Glasa gow Mercantile Advertiser extracts as much these as it deems interesting to its readers, a course followed in similar circumstances by every journal in the kingdom, witness the tables of the Mark Lane Express and Economist, which are regularly transferred without challenge into all newspapers of a popular character ; but, say the proprietors of the Clyde Bill of Entry, who are handsomely paid. by the country for doing their legitimate work as public officials—" You shall not copy from our sheet, because we have secured a copyright in it, and if our monopoly is invaded our gains will be diminished, and this fund of ours [which, by the way, is not distributed for the benefit f Scotch officers at all] would suffer." The question is thus simplified and stands thus :—Whether in the latter half of the nineteenth century, the interests of commerce and the press, or the advantage of a small Government-sanctioned monopoly, shall be preferred ? Whether the trade of Glasgow and of Scotland is to be vexed and annoyed and subjected to restraints, or a peddling bit of official exclusive ness put down? To state the question is to answer it. The plea that these over-burdened officials, who copy out the list during the hours doubtless for which they derive their salaries, should be protected by law, is a piece of pure fudge. Why should they have a protection which is extended to no one else ? Nobody wants their exclusive labours. The Custom House books arc for the use of the public as well as of the Crown, as the publication of this sheet abundantly illustrates. Let the books be thrown open, under proper restriction and regulation, and neither the Glasgow Mercantile Advertiser nor any other paper will interfere with their Bill of Entry. It would thus compete in the open market, and the result it needs no seer to prognosticate. The proprietors of the Mercantile Advertiser are contending against heavy odds. The law may find them wrong, although they have right andjustice on their side, and the spirit of the age will not only justify, but commend them. But the case reaches far beyond a single newspaper. It aims to explode a cherished remnant of an antiquated and vile s,is tem, which—as cooks lick their fingers—allowed. official men to have pickings out of public interests. We trust both the press and the public will not be slow in speaking out—the contention is theirs—and. that they will not allow a journal to be trampled down under the Treasury hoof. Were the members for Glasgow, backed by the commercial and munici pal authorities of the two chief cities, to take up the cudgels, the monopoly - would be extinguished with Out loss of time—leaving the Government, to provide for revenue officers by some more legitimate method than by allowing them to compete in a field where they have no business, and where their sel fish ends can only be pursued with injustice to the press and injury to the public.—Scottish Press. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.—A meeting in sup port of this great and popular movement was held on Friday, night in the hall at Elliot-street baths, Glasgow. Mr. John M'Adam occupied the chair ; and the audience, though certainly not overcrowded, gave unmistakeable evi dence of being in earnest in their desire for reform. The following resolutions were unanimously adoptod, after able speeches had been delivered in support of them by, among other friends of progress, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. John Nichols, Mr. Little, Councillor M'Adam, and Mr, Troup, all of whose utterances were enthusiastically received:-1. " That the meeting of the western district hails with pleasure the national expression of parliamentary reform elicited since Mr. Bright's appeal to the country, and consider that we will best respond to his appeal by asking what is equally just and politic—trusting to his political integrity and dis cretion, on any measure of reform that may be introduced in the next session of parliament. 2. That we therefore adopt, as the plainest and best adapted to the opinions and circumstances of the majority, the programme and consti tdtion of the Glasgow Parliamentary Reform Association —manhood suffrage, with a residential qualification, vote by ballot, electoral districts more equally districts more equally distributed, and triennial parliaments. 3. That we now proceed to organise this district, and to enrol mem bers for the Glasgow Parliamentary Association, as the best means of attaining the objects of this .t l l neLt l in c t s an ses d ( t.l enable us to co-operate more effectively n' beef reformers throughout the Royal Gt wi sg b o t a c r / o 3 n u Bu lletin. r.
