TITORLEY'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 worldwide. 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." Ho tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. Ho then bought some of Thorley's food; and ho says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, aad in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we and 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 th at 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.

The Secretary read the report, which stated that arrange ments were in progress, and the directors tru , ted on the eve of completion, which would ensure the early -.Telling of on a of the most important portions of the undertaking. It hail b een agreed that in the first instance arrangements should be made with eminent contractors for the completion of the line between Cork and Queenstown. The directors had not the slightest doubt that the opening of this would be immediately followed by the completion of the entire undertaking. To meet the requirements of the contractors' offer, it was necessary tif obtain on the cempany's deben tures the loan of £00,000; of this sum £15,000 had been taken by the landowners on the line, and an ofEir had been made to the directors of the remaining £75,000, so soon as a resolution of a general meeting should place the company in a position to legally borrow that amount. Subject to this, the directors had 110 reason to doubt that iu a very few weeks all those arrangements would be completed, and the works upon the Queenstown branch be actually com menced. ,On the motion of the chairman the-report was adopted. Other formal resolutions haying been agreed to, The meeting was then made special, and a formal resolu tion was passed authorising the directors of the company to barrow upon mortgage or bond a sum orsums of money not exceeding in the whole g,90,000, payable in seven years, and bearing interest at a rate not exceeding 6 per cent. per annum.

Straight half RAILWAY -I.ATTELLIG.EACE. BRADFORD, WAKEFIELD, AND LEEDS. Thu report of the direct Ors of this company. states that the expenditure on capital account to the 30th of June last amounted to £22l 695. The revenue account shows that the actual net earnings of the railway for the three months ending the 30th of June last were £2,691, the interest on loans £970, leaving £715 fur dividend. A dividend of 41 per cent. per annum will absorb £1,673, and leave £42. The directors state that there are some claims by this com pany on revenue account from the two companies working the line, which are objected to by those companies, and which will, in all probability, have to be settled by arbitra tion. All such matters are kept out of the quarter's re venue accounts, and therefore the accouut.named as being available for dividend is free from uncertainty, and the directors expect that a material addition will be made to the balance whenever a final settlement be made with the two companies. The contest between the Great Northern and the Loudon and North-Western Company had deprived them of nearly the whole of the passenger traffic between the West Riding and London. satisfactory to the proprietors, and give them cotifidence in the future prosperity of the company," EAST KENT. The report by the directors to be presented to the share holders on Monday, the 30th August, says : The directors have the pleasure of reporting that the Wes tern Extension Bill, authorising this company to construct a line from Strood to St. Mary's Cray or Bickley, and giving them running powers over the Crays and the West-end and Crystal Palace lines, received the royal assent on the 23d ultimo. The Victoria Station and Pimlico Railway Bill; which extends the West-end and Crystal Palace line to a station near Buckingham Palace, has also received the royal assent. The Crays company have ceded to this company , their right of making the, two miles of line between Bickley and St. Mary's Cray, and have un dertaken to double within 12 months the line be tween Bromley and Bickley now open as a single lice. The directors have entered into agreements with the Crays and the West-and and Crystal Palace Companies as to the tolls to be paid for running over their lines, by whick the East Kent are to fix the fares, and those companies to re ceive a mileage proportion of the same less 20 per cent. for locomotive expenses and wear and tear of rolling stock. The proprietors have already confirmed the agreement en tered into with the Victoria Station and Pimlico Railway Company, and the promoters of that line subsequently con sented to the insertion in their act of the followicg clause for the protection of the interests of all parties :—" And in case any dispute shall arise between the companies with re ference to the matters contained in this provision, the same shall be determined by the Board of Trade or by an ar bitrator appointed by the said board, and the rercement shall be subject also to realaion, lvtretrer temporary or permanent, with referenhe to the rate of payment per passenger to be made by the East Kent Railway Com pany to the company in any event in which it shall ap pear to the Board of Trade that circumstances have arisen with reference to the traffic carried by the East Kent Rail way Company which make such rate of payment unreason able as regards suchlast-named company, and the terms and extent of such revision, if not agreed between the respective companies, shall be determined by an arbitrator to be appointed by the said Board of Trade." Mes.q.s. Peto, Betts and Crampton have executed a contract to complete the Western Extension line ready for opening to the satisfaction of the Board of Trade by the Ist October, 1860. The whole of the capital required for this line has been satisfactorily placed. The permanent survey is being proceeded with as rapidly as possible. Possession of the necessary land will he obtained by the Ist October next, and the works will then be at once commenced throughout the line. The proprietors may be assured that by the Ist October, 1860, they will have open for traffic a continuation of their line from Strood to the new station in the neigh bourhood of Buckingham Palace entirely independent of any hostile company, and thus the direct and independent route from the metropolis by Chatham, Faversham, and Canterbury, to Dover, which the county of Kent has so long contended for, has been at length secured. Great inconve nience has resulted to the public from the violation by the South-Eastern of the traffic arrangements which they en tered into with this company in January last. The direc tors seeing the great inconvenience which would result to the public from the course which the South-Eastern Com pany were about to pursue, requeste I them to continue the existing traffic arrangements until the Board of Trade should give their decision, but they did not even reply to that request. The directors have appealed to the Board of Trade on the subject, under the 42d clause of their Act of 1853, and the matter now awaits the decision of that tribunal. This conduct on the part of the South-Estero Company most strongly proves the justice of the decision of Parliament last session in granting the Western Exten sion line, on the ground that the public convenience int peratively required that the East Kent Company should have an independent access to the metropolis. The traffic returns between Strood and Favershatn are very satisfactory, and although the line has been working hut a few months, the receipts are considerably larger per mile than on many other lines of railway, which is the more satisfactory when it is considered tkat the line not being at present open be yond Faversham, is dependent for its revenue entirely on the local traffic of the district. The subjoined statement shows the receipts per month and the steady increase in the traffic from the commencement :—Six days ending Jan. 30, £:211 7s. 5d.; ditto Feb., £725 6s. 11d.; ditto March, £712 17s. 3d. ; ditto April, £1,448 13s. 9d. ; ditto May, £1,309 lls. 10d.; ditto June, £1,807 4s. 11d. ; total, £6,215 2s. ld. Looking to the above returns and the usual increase in rail way traffic the directors consider that the local traffic alone, even before the line is completed to Canterbury and Dover, will be very considerable, more especially when the traffic from Sheerness is brought upon it, which they believe will be the case in a few mouths. The directors, feeling that the completion of an independent route to the metropolis for that portion of their line which is already open wits of the greatest importance, directed their earnest attention to the effecting that object, but they have not lost sight of the im portance of completing their line to Canterbury and Dover. With this view the directors have obtained extended powers from Parliament for dealing with the forfeited and unissued shares which they trust will enable them within a very short period to raise the necessary capital. Resolutions for giving effect to these powers will be submitted to the meeting. In the meantime the works at Eosden tunnel and cutting are proceeding satisfactorily, and are so far advanced that the whole line may be completed in twelve months from the present time. The hostile attitude assumed by the South- Eastern Company and their apparent determination if pos sible to obstruct the traffic of this line even to their own injury has occupied the attention of the board. After mature consideration they are induced to ask the proprietors to invest them with authority to apply to Parliament, if necessary, in the ensuing session for such powers as will enable them to develop the traffic on the line and to secure proper accommodation for the public." The revenue for the t,ix months appears to have been £6,303 193. 10d., and the expenditure £.3,327 17s. Bd.; leaving a net revenue e1.E876 2s. The following is the general balance-sheet:— DR.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Edinburgh on Tuesday—Mr. Balfour in the chair. The CHAIRNIA.N expressed regret that the directors had not a more prosperous statemeat to exhibit, but said the falling off is their revenue was only what they had experi enced in common with other companies. Their passenger traffic had been all along exceedingly pod, and he was not without hope that the gocds traffic vvothici soon recover from the depression beto which it bad fallen. The report showed that the gross revenue for the past half-year was less by £5,275 than that of the first half of 1857, but, on the other hand, the expenses were less by £8,3•24, the half-year now closed being therefore better than the former by 13,040. This would have placed the ordinary shareholders in a good position had it not been for au increase of £5816 in the debenture interests and preference dividends for the last half-year, which id,: the company in a worse position to the extent of £.2,597. Considerable progress had now, how ever, been made in renewing these debentures, and many of them at more favourable rates. Last year the directors had expended £15,000 on repairs and re newals of plant, a;ain.t £lO,OOO in the corresponding half year, which evinced the directors' determination to main tain the line in a state of efficiency. The chairman con eluded by moving the adoption of the report. Si: W. DuNn.an, M.P., seconded the motion, which was unanimously egret d to. The CHAIRNiAN next moved the payment of the iota: est on the debentures and preference shares in accordance with the recommendation et the report, all payable on and after the 7th of September. This resolution was seconded by Provost TAYLOR, of Leith, and agreed to. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. EXETER AND EXMOUTH. The report of the_directors states _that although by the act of last session a very miferia/ change has been effected in the course of the line and the relations of the sharehelders with other companies, yet the .main feature of the under taking—viz., that of a line of railway between Exeter and Exmouth—remains unaltered. By a clause in the act it is required that te company shall, on or before the 31st of October, 1859, either open the railway for the public con veyance of passengers, or prove to the satisfaction of the B;ard of Trade, that the company have paid up one-half of the amount of the company's capital Cl £50,000, and have expended a sutn equal in amount to that one-half. This latter provision, although it gives ample time, yet precludes any delay in carrying out the under taking; and the directors have accordingly made a call of £2 per share, payable on the Ist of October, to enable them to complete the purchase of land ; and have also given in structions to the engineer to take the necessary steps, so that tentier4 maybe at once obtained fur the construction of the line. SOUTH DEVON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Ply mouth on Tuesday—Mr. Woolcombe in the chair. The Cruntauts - said that, considering the whole state of commercial affairs, he thought they had no reason for apprehension or discontent. There was scarcely any fairer way of testing the progress of a company than by comparing the amounts divided year after year in corresponding half years on consolidated stock. This had been done with the following results :—ln 1849-50 there was no dividend; in 1851 the available sum amounted to £4,854, in 1834 to £5,486, in 1835 to £5,486, in 1856 to £6,983, in 1852 to £3,900, in 1853 to £3,990, in 1857 to £12,277, and in 1858 to £7,347. The year 1857 was altogether exceptional, as there were extraordinary receipts from the agricultural meeting at Newton, and as there was also an accumulation for " rest." But, comparing 1838 with.lBs6, they could see that there was a very decided increase, £7,347 as against £6,983. Another excellent test of progress was whether the sums added to capital account bad increased or diminished the amount of profits. In many of the larger companies the progress had been from larger to smaller dividends; they bad progressed from no dividend at all to a small one, which they hoped to increase. In 1836 the interest on prefer ence shares was £18,375; in the present year it was £21, 5 354; thus they had added mc,ra than £3,000 to the interest on their preference shares, and at the same time increased their ordinary dividends. The gross amount received per train mile run on the Great Northern was 4s. 2d.; en the Mishaps', 4s. ; on the Londou and South-Western, ss. 2d.; on the South Wales, 6.. 3d.; on the Manchester, Stafford, and Lincolnshire, 6t. 5J.; on the Bristol and Exeter, 7s. Id.; on the. Great Western, 7s. 3d.; on the South Devon, 7s. 4d. To get that large amount per mile, it was clear their officers had so arranged the trains that they might be well filled. Un fortunately large dividends did not depend wholly on this, but en the amount of preference charges which must be paid before a dividend was declared. Much had been said lately on competition between railways, and he believed that even there they had felt the effects of it. It was a question most interesting to shareholders, and called for acti , e inter ference. A mistaken course had been pursued, treaties and contrivances, more or less ingenious, had beau tried, and an attempt at protection had been made, which he thought was wrong in principle. In railway matters, as in evertbing else, free trade was the only sound principle, and all such attempts, however ingenious, must end unsatisfactorily. They should trust entirely to the free course of commercial enterprise. Railway companies were bound to receive traffic without preference from whatever sources. They must, be thought, obtain an accession of traffic from the Tavistcck, and especially from the Cornwall Railway. Sixty or seventy miles in extension of their line must bring them traffic. After some further observations, he concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. D. DERRY seconded the resolution, which was car ried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN having moved, and Mr. DERRY seconded a resolution for a dividend of 1 per cent. per annum, which was carried with similar unanimity, She meeting separated. NORTH DEVON. The half-yearly meeting of nil company was held at the offices, in Gresham House, yesterday—Mr. Sherland in the chair. The report (an abiiract of which has already appeared) having been read, The CHAIRMAN said he had but little to add to the state ments in the report. They had had the report of the traffic manager up that morning, and it fully confirmed their anti cipations as to the increase of their traffic. By the weekly return they tnade the increase £303, but when it was finally made up, as it was by the teethe manager's report, they found it was £325. He had no doubt they would now regain their traffic, perhaps even more rapidly than they had lost it during the past six months. The South-Wes . ern Exeter line would probably be opened within the next 18 months, and would no doubt add to their traffic. The steam-boats alluded to in the report belonged to individuals, the North Devon Company having nothing to do with them. Indeed, under their Act of Parliament they could not, but he thought the boats were likely to prove very beneficial to them. He bad recently been over the line, and found it in good order, and working with great regularity. It was true there was some little complaint relative to the slowness of their trains, but, looking at the nature of the curves on the line, the engineer thought it might be dangerous were they to increase their speed. He begged to move that the reports and accounts be received and adop!ed. The motion having been seconded, was carried unani ' mously, and the dividend, at the rate of M. Bd. per cent. per annum on the ordinary stock, and 11 13s. on the B stock, declared. . A vote of thlnks having been given to the chairman, that gentleukan, in acknovvledging the compliment, stated that they had every prospect of increasing their traffic, as Ilfra combe and other waterinp,t-places on the line were becoming so popular that it was difficult to get a lotlging. BIDEFORD EXTENSION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was then held —Mr. Sherlund again presiding. The report said—" The directors having previously assured the proprietors of their earnest desire to curtail all expenses, and to discharge the first cost liabilities, without rtcourse to preference share, or extended pow.crs, have the satisfac tion to report that every claim hao been adjusted evitably, and, it is hoped, justly to all partiesconcernel ; and the capital account will naw be closed. The lessees, as well to the public as the proprietors, have given every ficility and conve nience in the working of the line; and if the very low fares imposed may not have been remunerative, an increase from -41,748 passengers in the corresponding half-year of 18.57, to 45,303 passengers in 1858, shows a progressive impr,ivement in the traffic. In common with railways generally, the goods traffic has fallen off. The returns show a gross receipt from the Ist January to the MO June, 1858, of £1,2 1 i8 12s. 21 . , against £1,293 7s. 81. in the corresponding half-year of 1858." Thu accounts showed the total receipts to have bee = £-17,213 14s. 9 d. and the expsmiliture j;,.;2,103 _ is. i d. I The report and accounts were adopted. EXETER AND CREDITON. The half-;;early meeting of this company was also held at the same place, and with the sa me c h a i r man. Toe capital account showed the total receipts to have been £113,300 and the expenditure £112,323 lls. ld., showing a balance of /976 Bs. 11d. The revenue account, as shown by the Bristol and Exe ter Company (who work the line), for the past six months gave the fallowing results :—lteceipts from passengers, /2,873 2s. 31. ; front goods, /1,281 ss. 10d. ; and parcels, /134 7s. 51, making a total 0f14,288 15s. 7(1.; from which had to be deducted for working, as per agreement, £2,927 Os. 4d., leaving a balance to be carried t) the credit of this company of £1,3610x. 31, which has been absorbed by pay ing interest on the preference shares. The accounts living been received the meeting was made special, and the directors authorised to raise £6,666, or any part thereof, on bond cr debenture, under the company's Act of 1850, for the purpose of placing the line in a proper tate of repair. The usual vote closed the proceedings. WHITETIAVEN AND FURNESS JUNCTION. The half-yearly r eport of the directors stat es : "The accounts of the company for the h a lf- year en ding 30Lh June last show that tne gross receipt s h ave amoun t e d to £12,01319+: 3d., being an inesease of £1,587 ss. 10. over the corresponding period . of 1857. The directors are gra tified at this result, seemg that the past h a lf- year h as b een one of unusual depressioni a trade generally, and more especially in that branch of trade on which the traffic of this company greatly depends. The balance of revenue account is Y,6,109 Os. 2d. After the payment of the interest:on mortgages an d temporary loans, and providing for a dividend of 5k per cent. on all the preference shares, a sum of £1,187 14s. 11i1. remains for the original proprietors, and the directors again recommend the declaration of a dividend of 2Q. per share, which will leave LW 4s. 11d. to be carried to next account. The expenditure on capital account during the past half year has amounted to £2,858 is. 80. for vvorks and rolling stock, including a payment of £229 2s. in compensation for damage to houses in Peter-street, Whitehaven, during the construction of the tunnel. Since the issue of the directors' last report the greater portion of the new pre ference shares have been taken up, and the proceeds have been applied in paying off the old liabilities of the company. The directors hope to be able to state in their next report that the whole of the liabilities on capital account have been liquidated. The short branch line near Broughton, alluded to in the engi neer's report last half-yeaF, was opened for traffic on the Ist August, as well as a similar short . branch on the Fur ness Company's line near Dalton. The through trains to and film the south now pass over these lines, and a saving of nearly six miles is HT! effected. The negotiations with the Post-office authorities for the conveyance of the mails have been continued during the half-year; but the direc tors regret to state that, although they have offered to con vey the mails at a less sum than would cover the cost, they have not yet been able to secure for the inhabitants of Whitehaven the earlier delivery and later despatch which they are entitled to, and which the new railway route south wards can supply ou reasonable and moderate terms. The directors believe that the results of the past ]calf-year's working, in a time of great commercial depression, will be toile. • Mr. J. C.

ANOTI-.TER TELF,GHAPHIC PROJECT. 40- A LIN H TO HAVANA, YUCATAN, MEXICO, TEHUANTEPEC, NICARAGUA, PANAMA, AND SAN FRANCISCO. • The success of the Atlantic cable will encourage the estab lishment of other lines, with more or less submarine wires, to other portions of the globe. Among these is the proposed route from Key West (Fla.) to Havana; thence to Yucatan across tr, Tehran tepFc, aad down to Panama, and ultimately to San Francisco. In 1856 Horace B. Tebbets, Esq., of this city, well known from his pioneer efforts in the building of the Newfoundland telegraph, visited Florida to obtain from the legislature of teat state the charter of a company to establish a tele graphic connexion between Key West and Havana. He did not succeed in getting through a special act for that pur pose, but achieved the passage of a general law, broad and liberal enough to encourage him in his efforts. Mr. Tebbets then went to Havana, and enlisted the co-operation of Messrs. Torresas and Same, and another gentleman, all large and eeterprising capitalists, through whom application was made to the Governor-General of Cuba for the necessary grant, covering a period of 25 years. The Governor- General approved the project in April, 1857, and the papers were thea sent to Madrid to receive the royal ratification, This would undoubtedly have been given long ago but for the fact that the Spanish Government preferred to wait for the successful completion of the Atlantic Telegraph line, which was then a matter of serious doubt. The main advan _ take to be derived by Spain from the Cuban telegraph was considered to depend on the triumph of the great ocean en terprise, as Madrpd then he brought in complete tele graphic communication v.ith Havana. It is supposed that the royal assent will he given immediately after the Atlan tic line has been put into practical planation, and that Mr. Torresa?, who has been at Madrid for some time past to for ward the interests of the Cuban Telegraph Company, will re turn to Havana with the ratified document some time in Sept. next, when the cerapany will be formed and go to work. The distance from Key West to Havana is only 70 miles, and the cost of laying the cable, it is said, will be about 500 dollars a mile. The cable will be of the " three-threaded" pattern . - that is, with three insulated conductors. The Magnetic Telegraph Company have agreed to build a branch from Savannah, Ga , to key West, so that at no distant day New York can be put in telegraphic connection with Ha vana. The advantages of such a line to shippers and traders In New York and elsew here are too obvious to need pointing out. The same company proposes to run wires from Havana to Cape Antonio, the extreme westerly point of Cuba; thence across the channel to Yucatan, a distance of about 40 miles, where it will connect with a line alread y built to the city of Mexico. They also propose to extend the wires from Yuca tan to Te h uantepec on the Pacific, about 400 miles, and total] fro i m Tehuantepec to Panama, about 1,000 miles, passing through Nicaragua, thus affording telegraphic com munication with the United States and Cuba for the steam boat and railroad companies at Panama, the steamboat com pany of Nicaragua, and to all ships that may choose to send messages from those points. Lastly, this company propose to construct a line from Tehuantepec to Santiago, where there is already a line to San Francisco, 300 miles north. The distance from Tehuan tepee to Santiago is not far from 2,000 miles. The line will pass through a country pretty well settled. We will not undertake to say how soon, if ever, all this will be accomplished, but it is all within the purview of the company,--New York Journal of Commerce WATERFORD AND LIMERICK. The 26th half-yearly meeting of this company was held ; in Waterferd on Tuesday—Mr. J. Connolly in the chair. The report stated that the receipts for six months to June 39, 1858, amounted to £29,118, the working expenses to £12,858, or 44.1 per cent. of the receipts; leaving £16;260. Tue receipts for six months to June 30, 1857, amounted to £28,324, the working expenses being £14,544, or 51 1-3 per cent., leaving £13,780 • showing an increase in favour of last half-year of £2,480. The total income amounted to £20,118, and the total expenditure, including law costs and interest, to £14,441, leaving a balance of £14,677 to pay interest on debentures and dividend on preference shares. The result is most encouraging, as it has been attained not withstanding the depressed state of trade, the decrease in the receipts of almost all other railways, the very high rate of interest paid on bonds and securities in the early part of the year, when the difficulty of procuring money was in deed great, and the insane competition between the two great Irish trunk lines for the Limerick traffic. The directors feel deep regret that they are unable to an nounce the recommendation of a dividend to the holders of original stock. Until the preference capital shall have been issued the receipts from revenue must, to a consider able extent, be applied to liquidate the pres6ne• liabilities of the company. The directors have succeeded in establishing a daily communication between Waterford and Milford- Haven, from which they expect very favourable results. The Post-office authorities have not yet consented to despatch a daily mail from London' to the south r,f Ireland by the ford route ; nor have they yet given the carriage of the night mails to this company. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the meeting on the pro spects of the company. They bad succeeded in reducing the working expenses. In reference to the speech made by Sir E. Macdonnell, he denied that the company ever offered to dispose of the line, and said there were no grounds far Sir Edward's observations, as far as the Wnterford and Lime rick line was concerned. He concluded by moving th e adoption of the report. Mr. LEVY seconded the motion. He said they expected next year to earn at least £60,000, which would enable them to pay a dividend to the original shareholders. Mr. EATON condemned the course pursued by the direc tors, as calculated to lower still more the stock of the com pany. The CUAIRMAN briefly replied to the several points that had been adverted to, and put the report, which was unani mously adopted. Mr. E. POWER proposed that Mr. O'Connor's resignation be accepted, and that he be presented, on retiring from the office of s3cretary, with a gratuity of £5OO. Mr. W. MALCOMSON seconded the resolution, which was put and carried by acclamation. Thanks were voted to Mr. Connolly, and the proceedings terminated. CORK AND YOUGIIAL.

Tne receipts since the commencement of the present book-year, on the Ist of May, including the above, amount to £.51,465, show ing an increase over the corresponding period of last year of £3,929. The working expenses for the fortnight amount to £2,833, or 33.67 per cent. of the receipts, and from the Ist of May to the 15t'i of Augtist to £19,380, or 37 . 63 per cent. Tlie accounts for the last year having been kept upon a different system, no fair comparison of the fort nightly expenditure is possible, but the expenditure of the year 1857-58 was 55 per cent.

Hamilton, sailed from Spithead yesterday morning at daylight with snp , rnumereries for Plymouth. The Terrible, 21, paddleweel steam frigate, Captain Frederick H. li. Glasse, arrived at Spithead yesterday forenoon, with 300 men paid off from the Royal Albert, 121, screw, Captain the Bon. Francis Egerton, at Plymouth. She discharged them to the Echo and Sprightly steam-ves sels, sod returned again to Plymouth. Admiral Sir, George Francis_ Seymour went out to Spit held in .the Fire Queen steam vessel, Master Paul, yesterday afternoon, and visited the Russian commodore Popoff on bsard the Russian corvette Rends, at Shithead ; on leaving he was saluted with 17 guns. The Russian Commodore and captains of his squadron dined with Sir George Seymour in the evening at the Admiral's residence in the dockyard. Yesterday, at 2 p.m., the paddlewheel steam vessel Cologne built by Messrs. Westwood, Baillie, and Campbell, for the General Steam Navigation Company was successfully launched from their yard at The vessel is about 500 tons, builders' measurement. The Cologne, after-launch ing, was towed immediately to the factory at Deptford creek. The Board of Admiralty have concluded the purchase of the double-action pump, the invention of Mr. Delpech, anti. which is in general use in the French maritime service. Oa e of these pumps is ordered to be fitted on board her Majesty's experimental corvette Galatea, under construction in Woolwich dockyard. In -a recent experiment to test the capabilities of the above-named pump, a 300 gallon tank of water was emptied in the short space of 52 seconds. The Valorous, 16, screw steamer, Captain W. C. Aldhana, having been docked at Chatham, has- underaone a careful examination in order to ascertain whether she has received any injuries, but only some very slight defects were dis covered, which were immediately made good, and she was yesterday undocked. Her Majesty's screw steamship Diadem, Captain l‘loor sem, ?t.N., arrived at the new harbour at Holyhead on Mon day evening at 7 o'clock with the Lor Is of the Admiralty. Next morning Sir John Pakington, M.P., First Lord, ac companied by two other Lords of the Admiralty, Lord Lovaine and Admiral Milne, Mr. Corrie, secretary, and suite, inspected the new harbour works. Tucir lordships were conducted over the several departments of the works by Mr. G. C. Dobson, resident engineer of the Admiralty ; Commander B. Priest, R.N., Admiralty agent; Mr. Charles Rigby, one of the contractors for the wen &c. After minutely examining the pr.gress of the construction of the northern breakwater and superstructure, their lordships proceeded to Salt Island to :inspect the works in the old harbour. They then went in Mr. Rigby's steam yacht Marie to South Stack Island, whence they returned early in the afternoon. Captain Mends, C. 8., R.N., of her Majesty's ship Hastings, now stationed in the harbour, was also in at tendance upon their lordships, and salutes were fired from the Hastings on the arrival of the Diadem, and during the inspection of the harbour. . - THE ATLANTIC ; It *tr. • • t t The sentiments of exult. l ; t i : ) sY9 I blve I)^Pn 0-C...el on Intli of the great - e ' A - • tzstiznotie3 to the gr \`. u 3 ..d it I,ty the yo, tile completion the best of all _ of the work. It is_ upon spulsr mindtliatthe magnitude and consequences of this mighty enterprise have been most strikingly impressed. Before grain lations could be transmitted from Government to Government the people of the two countries gave vent to their joy. Their feelings instinctively taught them that a feat of marvellous import had been ac complished, and that in some manner or other, through agencies either immediate or gradual, direct or indirect, the concord and amity of two kindred States had .become a greater certainty than before. In England we talked and thought about it, till at last the success of the enterprise burst with almost unexpected abruptness upon our ears. In America they have done even more. Preachers took the topic into the pulpit, and addressed their congregations upon the beneficent powers of the intercourse which now, by God's blessing and for God's purposes, had been at length achieved. The secular authorities fol lowed with equal animation and zeal. Meetings arc to be held, resolutions voted, and festivals given, and we may already learn a lesson from our American brethren in their prompt recognition of national ser vice. The expedition from which the Agamemnon has successfully returned was at least as important and as heroic as any of those which, in old times, brought down the acknowledgments of Royal visits, knighthoods, promotions, and gratuities. We must say, however, that the instinct of Ame rican citizens has carried them straight to the mark. The - voice of the people has been the voice of truth. The real import of this surprising feat is the con nexion of the two nations already united by links of lineage, institutions, and speech, and separated only by the space - of waters which the wonderful :wire has now annihilated. 'We may regard this last conquest of man over nature from many points of view. We may discern in it the crowning and conclusive esta blishment-of telegraphic :intercourse ; for , now that 2,000 Miles of a stormy ocean have been successfully traversed there remains no gulf or distance on the globe which, may not be bridged. Take-the map of the world, and it will be seen that if points 2,000 miles apart can be thus connectede the problem of universal communication is solved. By the aid •of islands we can easily cross the Pacific. and find cur way to China ; through the Indian Archipelago we can readily grasp Australia, and as overland wires present little difficulty in Nmerica, there is no reason why our correspondence, • • "ancfWer's Island as well as with Newfoundlanct seou;., iiot be instanta neous. This is one aspect of the victory, but it was not this which was seized upon by the American mind. The people of the States saw only the great fact that the New • World was now linked to the Old, and they were justified in their- discern ment. For years past the involuntary tendency, of events both in England and America has been to wards this Consummation. It is not a little striking to look back upon the struggle. We have colonies and possessions creating interests which, at first sight, may appear. nearer and dearer to us than any pro duced by the American continent. We have the im mense territories of Australia, rich in all the bless ings of climate and fertility, and excelling even California in mineral wealth. We haVe the magni ficent empire of India, with its 150,000,000 inhabi tants, its mighty provinces, its ancient lustre, and its undeveloped means. Yet to neither of these has the electric intercourse been speeded. Our Australian colonies are even bow complaining that they cannot get the assurance of ordinary postal communication, and the telegraph to India, though inconceivably easier of accomplishment than that to Newfoundland, has only just beerecoinmenced. Twelve months ago the eyes of Englishmen were fixed on India with - an anxiety which nothirig could exceed ; but the affair did not end in a telegraph. It is only with America that we have placed ourselves in these intimate relations—only with New England that Old England is united. The same irresistible though insensible attraction has been operating for years. Steam navigation fell into the same line, and was develOped on the same field.

Important Caution ouninst.the.fearful danger of spurious imitation?. — The Vice-Chancellor; Sir.Williarn Page Wood, granted an injunction on March 10,1854, against Alfred Hooper Nevill, fur imitating "Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food." the speCulations about the possibility of an Atlantic steamer-exactly foresh . adowed the discussions about an Atlantic telegraph. When it was found that the novel voyage could be actually accomplished the energies of the two countries were thrown into the work, till the Atlantic steamships excelled. all other steamships as much as steam excels sail. Nowhere has there been such a mortal race of man against the elements, and always with the one object of bridging the great Atlantic Ocean. .It is now bridged indeed, and, as the first steamer which reached New York „was but the pioneer of the finest vessels in the world, so may our single wire, now laid amid the wonder and rejoicings of millions, prove but the prototype of perfect union. The homage paid to this wonderful enterpris is enhanced by the fact that the novelty of the prin ciple has. been lOng - extinct. The real marvel of the electric telegraph consists in conversing at a dis tance, and the extension of the distance adds com paratively little to the original miracle. When it was ascertained that Aberdeen and London could exchange messages in a few seconds of time, and, above all, when the communication between Bou logne and Dover showed that the .sea_ offered no impediment to the new agency, little more in the nature of surprise seemed likely to be effected. The electric current could be transmitted along a cer tain metallic channel, it could be turned to pur poses-of communication, and the mere length of the wire employed seemed an item of little weight in the estimate. Perhaps, indeed, if the first attempt of 1857 had been successful, we should have thought less of the result ; for it is the nature of the human mind to leap from one victory to another ; and to think that any step can be accomplished after the first has locen achieved. As soon as we had crossed the Channel we prepared to cross the Atlantic, and, if our confi , lence had not received a check, we should probably have ; less appreciated the triumph which awaited us in the end. But the failure oft he first drill, and the renewal of the disappointment upon another trial, taught us that all our energies were indeed de manded for the work hefbre us, while the dreadful tempest encountered and survived by the A.;aniein non proved what dangers and difficulties stiq lay in our path. It is not too _much to say, indeed, that after the ships had a second time returned unsuc cessfully from their rendezvous in mid-ocean the hopes of both countries were seriously diminished, and it became a question whether the powers of man had not in this attempt been overcome by the obstacles of nature. But courage and devotion have received their reward, and we are conquErora in the strife. The augury is a grand one. Nov that England can converse freely with America across the Atlantic Ocean what is there of which science need despair ? It is impossible but that the prospects of peace should be improved by an intercourse which almost extinguishes the chance of a misunder standing. Englishmen and Americans can now certainly never quarrel over _a • misteke, and Ilia', •.ve t: ease, is equivalent to an assumption that they cannot quarrel at all. Perhaps this result is none the less probable because we are often exchanging hard words with each other. Peop'•e who are prompt to " jangle " rarely fight. Bickerings furnish a vent for ill-temper, and estrangement is not thought so much of when it occurs for the hundredth time, baying been always followed by re conci►iation before. There is another consideration, too, in favour of peace, which is, that as America becomes an older country she is assimilating more in ideas with older States, and losing the chief ele ment of differente between her views and our own. But the great bond of all must be fixed and immov able in the sympathies and convictions of the two nations. What have Old Englanders and New Eng landers got to keep fliem asunder except those leagues of ocean which are now annihilated ? This is one of the forms in which truth must ever prevail, if only it can be recognised, and now that recognition appears so certain we may reckon with assurance and hanksgiviug upon the result.—Tunes. THE ARMY. A Chelsea Board is ordered to assmble to-morrow at St. Mary's Barracks, Chatham, under the presidency of Dr. J. R. Taylor, C. 8., for the purpose of making an inspection of 105 non-commissioned officers and men, of yellow: cavalry and infantry regiments, who have recently arrived at the invalid depot from India, where most of them were very severely wounded. Ti,e invalids belong to tlhi 2d Dragoon Guards, sth Fusiliers ' 6th 29th, 32d (Light Infantry), 34th, 37th, 52d (Lightlnfatitry), 53d, 64th, 78th Highlanders, 82d, 84th, 88th (Connaught Rangers), 90th (Light Infantry), 93d Highlanders, the Rifle Brigade, and the Royal Engineers. A considerable number have lost either an arm or a iez, and the whole of the invalids era unfit for further active service. They will be dischartzed from the army as soon as the Commissioners at Chelsea Hospital have decided on the pension each man is to receive. Yesterday morning the cavalry and infantry troops now stationed at Sr. Mary'6invalid establishment, Chatham, were drawn up on their parade ground for the purpose of hearing read the names of those sick and wounded troops to whom pensioy.s have been awarded, and who are to be discharged from the service. The number selected to be discharged is 50 mcn of all ranks, many of whom were very severely wounded in India, whence they have recently arrived. Tice pensions awarded by the authorities to each man vary from 6d. to 2s. 6d. per day, according to length of service and the nature of the wounds received. Major-General Sir R. Airey, K.C.8., Qoartermaster- General of the Forces, yesterday paid an official visit to Woolwich Garrison. After a cursory Inspection of the bar rack departments, he proceeded to the review ground, no- companied by Cul. Bloomfield and Staff. The entire brigade alight infantry in garrison were then drawn up in corn maud of Col. Brown, R.M., and Col. the Marquis of Done gal', G.C.H., commanding the Queen's Royal Rifles, the Antrim Militia. After the cnstomary reception on the Quartermaster-General's arrival on the ground, the troops commenced a set ies of battalion and skirmishing movements, and went throng's a general course of field-day manoeuvres, without ammunition. Sir Richard expressed his satisfaction to the respective commanding officers at the high state of drill and the thorough efficiency of the battalions; and, having visited the field-battery encamptne.nt at the extremity of Woolwich-common, he proceeded to the Royal Reposi tory, and terminated his inspection by a visit to the Green hill tents, occupied by the Antrim Rifles, at 5 p.m. A final order was yesterday icsued at Woolw;ch to the 7 .1 .1...:,.t, :1 tt.:a.ive to the tonging money usually allowe:1 to married offi ce rs quartered out of barrack . , to the effect that there being a number of officers' quartets available for occupation, the allowance in lieu of barrack accommodation, fires, lige,te, See., to married officers, will be discontinued, and the lodging list will be closed, except for field officers. The clerk of the works is likewise directed to take an accurate measurement of the whole of the Quarter master-Sergeants' rooms, and, where available, to reduce the accommodation individually allotted to the non-commis sioned officers, so as to crease space for the admission of the entire corps within the boundary of the garrison. Nothing, however, has been determined on to improve the condition of the men's sleeping-rooms in the lower grade of the bar racks, which have been admitted to be intolerable even during the day, and which, under frequent emergencies, are crowded considerably beyond their allotted number. Mr.Gaskin, one of the Commissioners in Lunaey, accem panied by Dr. J. R. Taylor, C. 8., principal medical officer_ at Chatham, a nd Colonel M. William s, commanding Royal Eng'neats,pa'd a visit to the military lunatic asylum at F qr Pitt, Chatham, on Monday and Tuesday, for the purpose of making an inspection of that establishment. The asylum is bnilt within the fort ficationa, the site being well chosen. At the present time it is filled with patients, nearly the w hole of w h o m have been sent home insane fr om I n di a an d the colonies. On each day the commissioner spent several hours in the asylum, and instituted a r i g id' i nspection o f ever y part of the establishment. Several of the arrange ments connected with the asylum appear to be faulty, and are required to be immediately remedied. The building itself is not large enough to contain the number of insane soldiers who at present occupy it with a due regard to their health and personal comfert. The exercise grounds, too, were found to be exceedingly confined, the patients having but a comp utatively very limited specs in which to take exercise, while in wet and clamp weather they are almost precluded from taking any exercise at all, except under a covered walk or verandah. The commissioner, during his inspection, mule several suggestions to the military autho rities, having for their object the comfort of the insane patients, There are scarcely any amusements provided for the patients, cml directions were given that they should be allowed to play varieue gatuci--as billiards, howls, and other things—to excite their attention and stimulate their activity. The entire establishment was found to he in very good order. The commissioner dining his visit minutely inspected the several wards, sleeping-rooms, bath-rooms, cooking-house, &c., all of which are iu a satisfactory state.
