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, !t , gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some 0 , f 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, Ate., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for?, .ttle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to t o conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its owniw. iinsic 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, Newgate-street, London, for a Pamphlet which is sent post-free.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, 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., drc. 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 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, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, an d 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.

Still, Mortgages are very genera oit properties, but they are rarely or never in Prussia, as in France, for the purchase money, but are either for working capital, or, as now described, for the express pur pose of keeping the property together. Over-mort gaging is rare in the case of peasant properties ; not so in the case of large estates. Where a peasant property is too heavily charged the circumstance. may usually be traced to extravagant habits in the owner—hardly ever to the family compact. Speak ing generally, the Prussian small proprietors are a frugal race, comfortably off; in some districts even intelligent and well-informed. As a class they show no symptoms of disappearing before the encroach ments of either cottiers, on the one hand, or large landowners on the other; they are, on the contrary, more flourishing and well-to-do than at any former period of Prussian history. This is the general result; each province has its own peculiar conditions. On the one hand we have Pomerania, where large properties are the rule, and the cottier -is hardly known. At the other end of the scale stands the Rhine Province, in some parts of.which the parcelling of the surface has been carried to as great an extent as in France. Not withstanding, when we take the whole area of this province (the Rhine) we find that only 10 per cent. of the whole is in holdings 'of under four acres English, while 35 per Cent. is in properties of from 20 to 200 acres,- and 21 per cent. in estates of 400 acres and upwards: In Ponierania, where there are hardly any cottiers, no less than 62 per cent. of the total. area of the province is in estates of 400 acres a - id upwards, properties of from 20 to 400 acres f.)rzning 33 per *cent. of the. area. In the roving fTruasitt, "where eottier nwithi of w,The area. is more equally divided between the Ritter guter and the Baucrguter than in any other pro vince 38 per cent. of its area is in estates of up wards of 400 acres English, 49 per cent. in prooer ties varying from 20 to 200 acres. Turning to the province of Posen, the following figures of the transfer of land are given by Lette, which are equally inconsistent with the assertion that the s subdivision of the surface is advancing at an alarming pace. Between 1823 and 1854 as many as. 18 Ritterguter in Posen were broken up and sold in small parcels. But, on the other hand, 20 new Ritterguter have been created by consolida tion of small farms. The area occupied by large estates has actually increased, by favour of the law enacting the divisibility of 'property, by no less than 6,000 or 7,000 acres. At the other extremity of the kingdom, in the province of Westphalia, a comparison of the register book in the year 1837 with 1851 shows thatinotwithstanding a - good deal of property changed hands in the interim, the Rit terguter were only diminished by two, so nearly had dismemberment and consolidation balanced each other. I add the following view of the ratio which the largest and the smallest properties respectively bear to the total area in each province of Prussia : Estates of more than 400 acres English consti tute in Pomerania 62 per cent. of the total area of each province, Posen 55, Silesia 50, Brandenburg 46, Prussia 38, Saxony 27, the Rhine 21, West phalia 15.

The extension of the Morayshire Railway (from its junction at Orton with the Inverness and Aber deen Junction Railway) to Craigellachie, a distance of five miles and a half, was opened on Thursday for public traffic. It appears the line has been completed at a cost under £4,800 per mile, and that considerable satisfaction has been expressed by those interested at the smallness of the cost and the completeness of the line, which was entirely approved by the Government inspector. It shows that much might be done in the construction and extension of local railways where proper care has been taken in the first in stance to select the best route, followed by atten tion to every detail in design and during the pro gress of the works. The permanent. way of the ex tension line is laid with rails of 701 b. per yard, and the latest improvements in fish-jointing have been adopted. The bridges are of a substantial masonry and wrought iron, but the stations are for the pre sent constructed f timber until the proposed line to Dunkeld and Perth is completed. The portion of the through line extending from Craigellachie to Grantown is now being promoted by the direc tors of the Morayshire Railway, and, it appears, is receiving the cordial .support of the landowners and inhabitants of the district through which it is intended to pass. The line has been surveyed by Mr. J. Samuel, the engineer-in-chief to. the Morayshire Railway Company, who has expressed an opinion that it can be constructed on the ave rage for £6,000 per mile, including two crossings of the Spey of 220 feet each, and one of 150 feet over another river. The through line to Dunkeld will be about 86 miles in length, and effect a saving of nearly 15 miles between London and all places north and west of Elgin and Inver ness. It will also accommodate a large local traffic. The Morayshire Railway was designed and con structed under the direction of Mr. J. Samuel, C.E., and opened in 1852, at a cost of something less than £16,000 per mile, including engines and carrying stock, and, it seems, has worked satisfactorily up to the present time. The engines are constructed so as to consume only 71b. of coke per mile, being one third of the average weight consumed by ordinary locomotives on railways. It is expected that the successful execution of these local lines on a cheap and remunerative principle will be followed by useful extensions in other districts where railway communication is much needed. UNITED STATES. (From the New York Times.) King David confesses that he was not in a very good temper when he denounced all men as liars ; arid the wisest of monarchs and of men had doubt- less been driven half mad by some simpleton of un usual severity when he declared that though you bray a fool in a mortar, his folly will not depart from him. Yet, if Solomon were living now to be tormented by the ephemeral nonsense of the living age, he might well repeat, with the earnestness of deliberate conviction, what was conceived at first in a poetic fervour of disgust. In Mr. John Mitchell he .would find his proverb- incarnated. Had the saying never been uttered; indeed, it might well be invented for the benefit of the race, from data fur nithed by this incorrigible Irishman's intolerable absurdity. . Mr. Sohn Mitchel's case is happily of a kind from which some instruction may be derived for those among u; who are capable of profiting by the folly of others, when that .tblly leads, as it some times does, to failure ; and it therefore deserves some attention. roughly brayed by a cert can, Mr. Fleming ; so thorn we had , begun to hope the proverb falsified at last, and to expect a complete deliverance icom Mr. John Mitchell and his chronic eruptions. We were wrong, and Solomon was right, Mr. John Mitchell has broken loose in:Washington, He can no longer endure the prospect ofpacification opened to the Union by the growing intelligence of the South and the mollification of the New _Fork Tri bune. His voice is still for war—the more loudly that nobody else can be induced to think of war. He has carried his Citizen to the capital of the United States, in the hope of disuniting .the said States, and driving the South into an open war upon the North. This is the sensible little pro gramme of his present campaign. Will our domestic agitators look upon it and be warned ? The folly of this supreme fool is one in kind. with their own, if more flagrant in degree. He is the fool he is, simply because it is his wish to be, and do, and govern everything and everybody, - and because, finding no body disposed to help him to this wish, he flies out of all the bounds of self-command. "I have long felt," he said in 1847, " that I belong to a party of one member." To that party he gave - the incompar able title of the "United Irishman." The " United Irishman" he was, and is, and ever will remain. No braying, not even his own, will change him. Meanwhile, let us be thankful for the stupendous folly which shows us, in a giant mirror, the true nature of the many men who arc trying, each in his own way, to upset that other United party, " these United States." It appears to be a monomania of this man to ima gine himself a great destructive force of nature. As conceived by himself Mr. John Mitchell is and always has been a walking volcano, a talking simoom, a buttoned-up deluge, an earthquake hid den in the flesh of man, and capable of eating, drinking, proposing toasts, editing newspapers, and undergoing imprisonment. He began his active ex perience of life in strict obedience to this halluci• nation. To all outward seeming a decent young citizen of Dublin, he felt himself to be a new Attila —an avatar of vengeance upon the tyrants of his native land. He resolved to make the world tremble and bring the throne of the Guelphs tumbling down about the cars of Victoria I. For some time his pro jects attracted no more notice than the fulmination. which the editor of th e E a t answ ill e G azette i s re ported, in the veracious pages of " Pickwick," to have levelled against the brazen front of the Czar of Russia. But events at last gave a sudden and sinister importance to the unrecognised Catiline of the Hibernian Rome. Distress, misery, destitu tion, the most real and the most _ heartrending, fell upon Ireland. She was smitten with such cala znitics and famine and of pestilence as men in modern times had been more used to read of than to realize. The year 1847 came upon her terrible, blasting, opening the hardest hearts to pity, con fusing the clearest brains with the anguish of the spectacle, that demanded the relief of their counsel. This was Mr. Mitchell's moment. To drive this deso late, maddened, suffering Ireland into still greater extremities of misery and despair, to heat ten times hotter the furnace of her trial—to add to all the troubles of her estate fresh, intenser troubles of the spirit, and to inflame her from famine into civil war, was a task congenial to the temper of this ex emplary patriot. He set about it. By his avowal he was at the bottom of conspira cies of all sorts and kinds, the sole object and end of which was to light the flame of intestine war throughout the Green Island. "I have a stomach," he exclaimed, "for all the treasons that man can commit ; " and he did not fail to satisfy his appe tite. He encouraged every species of outrage by which the popular temper could be kept at fever heat. Murders committed in the dead of night by armed men—the .dragging dracrging away of young heiresses from their homes into compulsory marriages with rebel leaders not well provided with this world's goods—baptismal administrations of hot sand and vitriol lavished upon recreant " patriots" or recu sant lovers of the law—all the imaginable and un imaginable excesses of malignity, recklessness, and cruelty, which for months, at that unhappy time, converted whole counties of Ireland into so many Aceldamas, were but the natural fruits of an " agi tation" whose leaders avowedly shrunk from no crime in pursuing their purpose. For all this Mr. John Mitchell had not the paltry excuse of even technical oppression. He was per fectly at liberty to combine any ordinary occupa tion of profit, drysaltery, cab-driving or tallow chandlery, with the most intemperate mid exaspe rating style of political editing. The grave had hardly closed over the remains of the greatest agitator whom Ireland had ever seen, and the " minions" of British tyranny had looked on in silence while such a procession of mourners as the world has rarely witnessed followed O'Connell to the first resting-place his high and busy heart had known on earth. Mr. John Mitchell might have fooled to the top of his bent, had he been conten with bloodless fooling. But this could not be. He must have pikes and hand-grenades—and so he came at last to his first braying in the mortar. He was tried for felony, and by a jury of his own people found guilty, lamenting aloud, after convic tion, that he could not have been allowed to fill the panel with Roman Catholics, who would have re turned a verdict contrary to law, and set him free again to break the law. The result of this trial was that exile to the hulks of the Bermudas of which he has favoured mankind with the literary fruits, but for which for all its effects upon his own wits most fully justified King Solomon's excla mation. At last the hands that wielded the pestle grew weary of so aimless a task. Mr. John Mitchell was kindly turned over to get what future braving he might need on American soil. He soon called upon us to begin operations. Hardly had he landed in this much-enduring capital of New York befcre he began playing volcano and earthquake, in the hope of forcing us into a war with England, with France—with anybody, in short, strong ( n ug'a give ns plenty of. trouble and Mr. Nitele l a good wholesome excitement. Of all this nothing came,, J~ --/ /7Z- THE SAILOR PRINCE. (From the Times.) An existence compounded of the two ideas of Mr. Midship Man Easy and of the Princely hero of a Court Circular seems a strange anomaly, but that is just the form of existence which Prince Alfred is enjoying at the present moment. In the few remarks we may 'venture to offer upon the subject we beg most distinctly to be, under stood-as spec. sing prom.eicer A t z -geloyalty. We proud-all EtiglatiaAs proud—of this "hand some, spirited boy. We are proud, too, of our navy and our sea service. The strong heart of England warms to the seaman's blue jacket. Now, we want to see this young Prince, of whom we are all proud, take heartily to the service, of which we are prouder still. We want him to learn his profession, not in a vapid, half-and-half, Royal Highness kind of way, We hope to see him, notwithstanding the 'advan tages of his position, turned into a real sailor—such an one as - could work his own vessel when the ele ments were doing their worst, or take her into 'ac tion and bring her out of action with credit to himself and to the country. We like to think of thi ; fine young man as ten years hence a post-captain, with a gallant frigate under his charge, and in com mand because he has a right to command—because he is a first-rate seaman, well up to his duty. Now, we are about to have a little grumlile, because we think a parcel of foolish people are spoiling our young sailor-Prince for us, and we think, moreover, that they deserve a stern reprimand for their pains. He was sent out to be trained to salt water, and it is upon rosewater that his first_ lesson in navigation is taking place. What has a young Middy to do with Royal receptions, and Royal salutes and Royal fiddlefaddleS of every description ? If he be treated from the first as the Queen's son, not as a Midshipman of the Euryalus, he may be nomi nally promoted in the service as an incident of his birth, but he will never be fit to take the - Royal Yacht across from Portsmouth to Osborne - without • a real sailor at his elbow. Now, this is a point on which we could very easily be reduced to silence, for on such a subject we have not the smallest de sire to print one word which would give a moment of annoyance to the Royal Lady who reigns so gently over the hearts of her subjects. If it is to be so, why let it be so. If Prince Alfred is sent to sea with the idea that he is ultimately to wear an Admiral's epaulettes at the Drawing-room without the slightest pretension to a knowlege of his pro fession, we will very readily acquiesce in the arrangement, and say no more about it. The arrangement will be just as good an one as such ar rangements usually are, but the result will be that the country—beyond the small circle of courtiers— will cease to care about this young Prince. Now,Eng land, as yet,does care for him, and cares for him very much. His outgoing and progress in his sea-life have been scanned by many an anxious English eye. He is looked upon almost as their own child by Millions of persons who speak with English tongues. If we did not care for Prince Alfred, we would' let him take his chance, and subside into insignificance in his own way ; but this is not so. There are so many hearts _open to him that he will. find it a hard task at best to show himself worthy of such affection. It is this which gives us a right to speak, and therefore again we say, " Why are these foolish people spoiling our young Prince ?" Here arc some facts illustrative of the manner in which the young middy is ;_ealt with by those who should know better :—The other day—it was on the 19th of Dec.—the Euryalus reached Valetta, last from Tangier. The first thing done was to fire a royal salute from Fort St. Angelo, and all because a midshipman had come into port. The next thing was, that even before the Euryalus had been admitted to pratique, Sir J. Pennefather, with his staff in full gala, pulled alongside the Euryalus, and could scarcely be prevented, in the paroxysms of his loyalty, from boarding her even before the port regulations had been complied with. At length the port officer retired ; and now, if all had been aS it should have been, the young Prince would have been standing at the gangway to keep iatrucicri off, er engaged in some other similar act of duty. In place of this he was called upon to receive the Commander of the Forces, who had just come off to invite him to grace an evening entertainment with his princely presence. To the prayer of this petition the young Midship man was graciously pleased to assent. We are not caricaturing the report ; here are the very words, —"Ile invitation was graciously accepted, and the entertainment came off with great eclat, having been attended by all the elite of the garrison.' 11 this be the wad- in which all matters are managed on board the Euryalus, Prince Alfred might just as well be tempting the perils of Virginia Water. The next wise step was to make him the hero of a great Court ceremony. 'l'lle Governor issued a cir cular to the Members of the Council, to the Bishop of Gibraltar, to the Bishop of Malta, to the Judges, the Magistrates, and the Foreign Consuls. All these wise, and reverend, and dignified personages were to meet together and consut how they could best show honour to the young Midshipman., The end of it was, that the young gentleman, " shortly before 11," embarked in a barge, and between two lines of men-of-war's boats proceeded to the shore under the Royal salutes of the ships in port. Then the garrison fired Royal salutes ; then there was a guard of honour waiting for the Prince; it could not be for the Midshipman. The National Anthem was pealed forth " in thrilling tones," and there was a Royal Progress to the Palace, and a Royal Reception, at which all sorts of stately persons were presented to his Royal Highness ; and so on, until this kind of pageant was played out. After this—but we must really let the reporter speak— " His Royal Highness left the Palace in an open carriage, accompanied by the Governor, General Pennefather, and Major Cowell, and drove round the town and bastions to the Pieti. On returning to the Palace his Royal Highness partook of a cold collation, which had been spread in the Hall of St. Michael and St. George." The next day there was a theatrical entertainment, and the town was bril liantly illuminated, and over the facade of the main guard shone in conspicuous letters the words " Viva Alfredo !" Why not " Viva Midshipman Easy ?" If the young Prince be not spoilt for life by such injudicious demonstrations of loyalty as these, he must be the most wonderful young gen tleman who ever wore a blue jacket. How is it possible, if Prince Alfred be thus re ceived whenever .he puts foot ashore, that he can be trained in habits of subordination by the officers whom he should be taught to obey ? How is it that his young companions can ever be brought to mix with him upon equal terms, if the Crown Royal of England is suffered so constantly to peep forth from beneath the midshipman's uniform? We doubt no t that a parcel of tutors and instruc tors can teach him the " learning" of his profes sion—but that is the smallest part of a sailor's training. How is the young Middy to acquire habits of discipline and the inestimable advantage of self-reliance when he sees nothing around him but courtiers? If Prince Alfred be scut to sea as a Royal Prince all this is well enough. Let him have observance and adulation in gh o e o l d es s v to r re he ; lettn his eye rest upon marine courtiers wherever become either q, but in o s r u a ci n i h e an. w ill excellentvi never a thing for him it , would be if a stern veto w nd er g e ll h i lt h eLp e oe i e d d le b t e ie tw in e o el n i the young midshipman a.. s trations for the future ! EADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment.—Measles, Scarlatina.—These are the first great trials afte birth to which our children are obnoxious. Both diseases arc very infectious, and both require judicious management. In one the chest, in the other the throat, is most likely to suffer ; but the mother or nurse will find in Holloway's Ointment a sovereign balm for these distressing symptoms. When rubbed upon the throat, chest, and back it is absorbed, the respiration becomes more tranquil, the cough less trouble some, the lips grow less livid, the eye brightens, and the c - tuitenance loses that anxious gaze always the forerunner of a serious assault on the constitution and nervous sksten).

TILE .ISTA.VY. Vice-Admiral Sir Andrew P. Green, K.C.H., died on Sunday last . in, his 82d year. He-entered the navy more than - 65 years ago, being a midshipman On board the Illustrious, 74, at the investment of -Toulon in 1790 ; .also at - the reduction of Bastia, and in Hotham's first action. When in the Cen seur, 74, Capt. J. Gore, he was taken prisoner, after a brave defence, by a French squadron. After a short detention by the enemy- he was - released, and in March, 1796, joined the thunderer, 74, bearing the flag of Sir Hugh C. Christian. Commander-in- Chief of the-West Indies, in which he witnessed the reduction of St. Lucia, the destruction of the French frigate Harmonic, and the evacuation of St. Domingo. After serving in several other ships (fully . detailed in ." O'Byrnes's Naval . Biography") - he joined the Ganges, 74, Capt. T. F. F. Baker, in which he served at the Battle of Copenhagen, in April, 1801. In .Septernber, 1803, he was appointed to the Eurydice, 24, Capt. Nicholas, in the com mand. of boats of whi c h. vesse l h e acqu i re d grea t praise for his gallantry in an attack made in Octo ber,.lBo6; on the Mestuo la Solidad, Spanish pri vateer of 'six guns, and a convoy of which the privateer had charge. Immediately after that event he joined the Neptune, 98, Capt. T. F. Free mantle, one of the victorious fleet under Nelson at the battle of Trafalgar, and part of the naval force next employed at the siege of Dantsic. After holding different commands he joined the Sham rock sloop, in which he distinguished himself at the battle of Cuxhaven, and served subsequently as a volunteer at the reduction of Gluckstadt. He obtained post rank in 1814, and he held several commands, when. at length, in 1820, on the paying off of the Rochfort, he went -on half-pay. The gallant and venerablebnitnitiiiiiihstrillBn noini - noted a Knight-Commander. of the Royal Hano verian Order and had been previously, by' the permission of his - Sovereign, allowed to be made a Knight of the Sword of Sweden for his services at the siege of Cuxhaven and at Gluckstadt, and was also a Knight of the Iron Crown of Austria. His commissions were dated as follows :—Lieutenant, August 8, 1800 ; Commander, February 1, 1812 ;, Captain, April 12, 1814 ;.. Rear-Admiral, March 3, 1849 ; and Vice-Admiral, January 31, 1856. General Williams, commandant of Woolwich garrison,' yesterday went through the half-yearly examination of the two battalions of the Royal Military Train, in command of Colonel Erskine. Having first inspected the troops off duty at the encampment on Woolwich-common, as well as the books_and offices-of the establishment, the General, attended by his aide-de-camp; Major Teesdale, C.B. Equerry to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales ; Captain Freeth, Deputy Asssistant Quar termaster General ; and a staff of officers of the Royal Artillery, proceeded to the arsenal and passed in review the remainder of the corps who are employed in considerable numbers in the removal of stores,. &c., formerly carried out by . contractors. The whole of the men in command. of Colonel Erskine, Major MeCourt, and the various officers belonging to the division, were drawn up, dis mounted, in double column, and having been thoroughly inspected they remounted and marched past. - Before retiring, from the arsenal'the general announced to Colonel Erskine his satisfaction at the result of his inspection. No complaints or symp toms of diSsatisfaetion emanated from the men, the whole of whom have additional remuneration when employed in the arsenal, at . what is termed extra duty, and receive beyond their ordinary pay at the rate of l s . p er d a y each non-commissioned officer and 6d. the private soldier. The advantage, however, is not extended to the commissioned officer, who, although perform ing equal duty beyond the ordinary routine of tke service, is in. no way recompensed for extra duty. Lieutenant Bishop, R.A., attached to the riding house establishment of Woolwich, was a few days engaged, in company with one of the veterinary surgeons of Hilsea, inspecting the ho rs es at that estalishment, when one of the animals bit off the forefinger of his right hand, slightly above the first joint. Amputation of the joint was subsequently performed., and the lieutenant was shortly after enabled to return to Woolwich. The paddlewheel steam-sloop Alecto, Commander James Hunt, from Sierra Leone and the West Coast of Africa, last from Portsmouth, steamed into har bour at Sheerness on Tuesday. The Alecto has, during her commission, taken the following prizes, all of which have been condemned :—On the 27th of August 1857, the Eliza Jane ; on the 6th of Sep tember, a Spanish bark, supposed to be the Resto ration ; on the 13th of September, the brigantine Onward, under American colours ; on the 15th of October, the fore-and-aft schooner Lewis M'Lean, also under American colours; on the 26th of Oc tober, the American bark Clara B. Williams ; on the 4th of November, the American brigantine Windward, having 605 slaves on board. Only 416 were. alive at the time of her condemnation ; 454 were landed at St. Helena, the others having died on the passage. The Windward was registered 267 tons. On the 15th of April 18.58, she took the Swedish-built schooner St. Olaf; she was taken on the north coast off Capo Verga. The Alecto was inspected by the Commander-in-Chief Vice-Admiral of the Red, Edward Harvey, who expressed him self highly satisfied at the efficient and high state of discipline of the ship's company. A court martial is ordered to take place on Saturday next on board the flagship Waterloo, to try Mr. Coglan, gunner, on a charge of drunken ness; he has been placed under open arrest for upwards of five months. Her Majesty's ship Shannon, screw, 50, Captain Marten (acting), a rr i ve d a t Spithead yesterday afternoon, having left Calcutta Sept. 23. ; arrived at Trincomalee O c t o b er 3 , l e f t on t h e 9th ; arrived at the Cape November 23, Ascension on the 28th ; sailed for England on the 29th. She has met gene rally on her voyage home with very bad weather, working under canvass until she made the Needles, Isle of Wight, when she got up steam, and came through that passage to Spithead. She brings home on promotion Commander Elliot, late of the Bos cawen ; Lieut. Thompson, of the Alecto; Lieute nants Croke, Reid, and Mandeville, from the Cape of Good Hope , Mr. Hearndon and three engineers, and the crew of the Myrmidon, from Ascension ; 125 invalids from Calcutta, Trincomalee, the Cape, and Ascension, and five distressed British subjects. As the Shannon took so conspicuous a part in India, the Naval Brigade of which so signalised themselves under the ever to be lamented Captain Wm. Peel, we give a list of the officers belonging to the ship at the present time :—Commander Vaughan, Commander Young, Commander Wilson, Commander Hay, Lieut. (Acting) Verney, Chapl tin the Rev. J. Bowman, Master G. A. Waters, Surgeon M'Lening, Paymaster W. J. Lapidge, Chief Engi neer C. A. 0. Dwyer, Assistant-surgeon Mr. Fla nagan; Lieut. Stirling, Royal Marines; Lord Kerr; mates St. J. Daniels, Way, Church, Johnson, Far quhar, Richards, Lascelles, Watson, Briggs, Willan, Digby ; Master's Assistant, Mr. Love ; Clerks, Messrs. Theakston and Stanton ; Engineers, Messrs. Bone, Hennie, Mills, Slatey, and Boxall ; Mr. Thompson, gunner ; Mr. Lawrence, boatswain ; Mr.'Brice, carpenter. Dr, M'Lening served in the Furious at China on the Staff of Lord Elgin. Her Majesty's storeship Dee, Mr. Pullen in com mand, left Portsmouth harbour yesterday. morning, but was .signalled from the flagship Victory to return into harbour. Lieutenant John Liddell was yesterday appointed :0 her Majesty's ship Nile. professional duties, particularly before and at Lucknow. He suffered severely in health, but it was thought repose and change of air would recruit his health, and that before a few months had elapsed he would be able to resume the arduous calls on his professional attention. His death will be deeply regretted by a wide circle in the army who had the pleasure of his friendship and acquain tance. He• was appointed hospital assistant in November, 1827, and in November, 1829, obtained the rank of assistant-surgeon. In October, the following year he was appointed junior assistant surgeon to the 79th Highlanders, and after some years' service with that regiment exchanged to the 93d Highlanders, and served with that regiment in. Canada. At the outbreak of the late war he accompanied the Eastern army to Turkey. He served in the campaign of 1854.55 in Bulgaria and the Criinea in medical charge of the Second Division of the army, including the battles of the Alma, Balaklava, and Imkermann, the siege of Sebastopol, and the repulse of the principal sorties on the 26th of October, 1854. The late Lord Raglan bore testimony to his ability and exertions in his despatch of the 11th of November, 1854, "as deserving to be most honourably men tioned." After a brief sojourn in his native country he was , ordered to Calcutta, to attend on the Queen's forces in that country. Like many other distinguished and gallant men he has fallen a victim to over exertion and the climate. He ob tained the rank of regimental surgeon on the 6th Jan., 1843, staff-surgeon on the 28th March ,. lBs4, and eputy Inspector-General on the lstTeb,,lBss. STA TR OF PARTIES IN PR USS lA. (From a Correspondent of tho• Times) BERLIN, Dec. 27.—T0 enable ourselves to form a clear idea of the position of parties towards each other in Prussia our first object naturally is to ascertain what are the special legislative measures which each is anxious to promote. Every one knows, to begin with, the general tendencies of the party of progress and the party of resistance. They bear the same character in every country of Europe. But we wish to know the peculiar shape in which the same spirit clothes itself in different shapes. In Prussia, as I have said before, a foreigner finds it difficult to grasp any substantial measure or pro- posal beneath the declamatory phraseology of the Kreutz party. He finds no such difficulty in ac quainting himself with the immediate aims and objects of the party of progress in all its various shades. But on the side of the reaction all is " wind and blue vapour." He gets phrases in an._ swer to his questions—the " Kingship by Grace of God," " Breach with the Revolution," " the Inte rests .of Religion and Order," and what besides ? If he insists on looking closer into the affairs of the • party he finds that their policy is wholly negative. Their efforts are not for enactment, but for repeal. They would undo the progress which Prussia has made during the last half-century. And when the legislative enactments which have attended that progress were undone they imagined that the social condition of the country would again be what it was in 1830. Such a party is evidently totally wanting in statesmanlike views. It - has no prac tical system of policy. All the inen of intellect, all the men of political experience, the practical a s well as the speculative understanding of the coun try, are on the other side. But no party, whatever affinity it may have to a bubble, can subsist upon wind and nothing else ; its interests, as understood by itself, must find expression in some tangible measure or other. One (at least) such measure of the most solid proportions does recur again and again in the speeches and manifestoes of the feudal party both in and out of the house. The reaction before 1848 and more loudly since, have never ceased to call for additional restrictions upon the free disposal by sale, deed, or testament of landed estate. I have already mentioned, in my general review of the legislation of the last eight years, that after a series of attacks the feudal party succeeded in striking out of the Constitution Article 42, which guaran teed the general principle of the free disposal of real estate. This victory of the reaction, however, has as yet been a fruitless triumph over the letter of the Charter. The statutable guarantee of the absolute rights of the freeholder was indeed torn out of the code. But the practice, endeared to the country by the experience of 40 years, had struck too deep roots to be safely assailed. No positive legislative restraints on free dispoSal could be car ried, though proposals to that effect were again and again made. In 1855 the programme of Conserva tive politics issued by the Ri;ht declared it desir able "to restore perpetual entails ; to do away with freehold estate, and replace the wliDle of the soil under the conditions of feudal tenure, endowing it at the same time with all the privileges formerly appertaining to the several sorts of fees; and to make moveables' part of real estate." Wild as this scheme for a return to the feudal tenures of the 16th century may appear, it is not to be supposed that it has no deeper foundation than a mere childish romanticism—a political enthusiasm for the Middle Ages, with all their trappings, tour naments, ordeals, wager of battle, and witchcraft. The Right ground their proposals upon very solid motives of public welfare. They complain of the breaking up of great estates, the dispersion —to use their forcible expression—of the soil of Prussia into particles of dust, the ruin of scientific farming, the waste of forest, and rise in the p r i ce o f fuel; but, above all, the gradual extinction of the class of proprietary yeomen who formerly constituted so considerable a part of the strength of the country. The condition of the French pea santry, pauperized by the continued subdivision of the land into smaller and smaller holdings, is held up as that to which Prussia is rapidly approximating. All these social evils are alleged to flow from the stern enactments of 1807- 11, which destroyed feudal tenure, and made land a marketable commodity. These allegations are at least tangible—much more so than the ordinary declamation of the party. The interests involved in this question are not merely Prussian, but arc common to all nations. It may be worth while to give a short summary of the facts, and to see what is really the result of 40 years' experience in Prussia of free disposal of landed property. This question, as one of momen tous consequence, has been very laboriously sifted largeby economists here, and a mass of evidence has been accumulated. These discussions and evi dence have been carefully summed up in a recent work by President Lette, to which, together with the " Landeskultur gesetzgebung des Preuissischcn Staates," by Lette and Von Ronne, those who wish for further information are referred. The ordinances of 1807-11, which removed the restrictions and the feudal burdens on landed pro perty, left that species of property thenceforward to the free play of the ordinary laws of commerce and the natural instincts of parents to provide for their children. The result has been that the num ber of-middle proprietors, owning between 20 and 200 acres English, has increased at the expense of large estates (Ritterguter). But this increase of middle properties is not progressive, but appears to have already reached equilibrium. Secondly, that a number of cottier holdings—i. e., below 20 acres English, has been called into existence ; but that this also is not a progressive subdivision, but advances in those provinces where it does advance in a less ratio than the increase of population. This is the general result, taking Prussia as a whole. The assumed fact on which the complaints of the feudal party rest is false. Infinite subdivi sion is not in progress. There is a law in opera tion which checks the tendency to the dispersion of property and the breaking up of farms below the extent at which cultivation is profitable. This is a law of custom, not of enactment. It consists in that usage traditional not only iri the Prussian provinces, but over a large part of Germany and Flanders, by which the peasant proprietor, at the approach of old age, resigns the ownership as well as the occupancy of his farm to one of his children. This child takes the estate and stock upon it at a moderate valuation, usually below its market price. Upon the footing of this valuation the father's (and mother's) realty and personalty is divided among all the children, that child who takes the farm being charged with the payment of his (or her) brothers' and sisters' shares, as well as with a life annuity to the parents. It is customary to stipulate for this life rent very high, but for the parents to take less than covenanted for. The divi sions between the children may be either equal or unequal, but the tendency is to equal division. Where the ready money for paying the portions of the other children is not supplied by the wife's dower it is easily raised by mortgage. The excel lent and simple system of registration of landed property established in Prussia makes mortgage easy. By the system of Pfandbriefe a mortgage is made a transferable and marketable commodity, and by the system of Credit-Instituten it .is mane the most secure species of property extant. It will often happen that these provisions for the other children are so charged as to become due by instal ments, or as they successively come of ap, or on THE ARMY. The following medical officers, stationed at Fort Pitt, Chatham, have received orders to embark for Calcutta—viz. ,—Staff Assistant-Surgeon G. Martin, Staff Assistant-Surgeon J. W. Longhead, Staff Assistant-Surgeon G. Smith, Staff Assistant-Sur geon J. Aessior, Staff Assistant-Surgeon E. Wilks, and Staff Assistant-Surgeon P. E. Gascoyne. General improvements are to be effected at St. Mary's Barracks, Chatham, in order to promote the comfort of the invalid troops by whom those bar racks are almost exclusively occupied. At present the sick and infirm soldiers, on arriving from India or Africa, many of them in the last stage of sickness, and all with debilitated and shattered constitutions, are sent to St. Mary's Casemate Barracks, where they remain until they are discharged from the service. The Parliamentary Commissioners for inquiring into the state of barracks and hospitals, on their recent visit-to Chatham, made a minute in spection of St. Mary's Barracks, when several obvious improvements were recommended by them, most of which now are being carried into effect. The cold damp stone floors are in course of removal, and boarding will be laid down in all the rooms, or rather arches which compose the barrack " rooms." An excellent system of ventilation is also being applied, which it is expected will much improve the health of the troops.
