The 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." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, ttzc., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. 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. - . The following' are amongst the advantages offered by the International Life Assurance Society:— The Society was established in 18:18. Two-thirds of the profits are divided amongst the assured every five years. Its subscribed capital is five hundred thousand pounds. Its investments, at the -date of the last annual report amounted to one hundred and seventy-one thousand pounds. Its annual income is ninety thousand pounds. The number of policies now in force exceeds six thousand. About one thousand new policies are added every year. Since its commencement the Society has paid In claims uPwarcls of three hundred and twenty thousand pounds. For prospectuses and every other information, apply to the Chairman, 142, Strand. EDMOND S.

STAMPED, SD. constitution are surmounted, there cannot be the imputation of failure ; but the recurrence of difficulties is to be apprehended as inevitable from the nature of things, and the faulty arrangements in existence here. And when they recur, however much beyond English control the causes, or however beyond English power of application the remedies, inasmuch as the altered constitution has left the English protection all but powerless in such case, the certain consequences will be vexatious, and loss of prestige incurred, or at any rate risked, as appears to me, for no very apparent or weighty object. In order to prove the great importance of Corfu as the key of the Adriatic, I will mention only one fact. At the beginning of the recent war, in the spring of 1854, three Russian ships (a fri gate and two corv e tt es ) wer e cruising in the Adriatic, but did not venture to attempt their escape past Corfu, though only one small English frigate was then in the harbour. On the contrary, all three hastened to Trieste, where they were sold, while the officers and crews were sent overland, across the Austrian dominions, to Russia. It is to be remembered, also, that Corfu is of as great im portance to the security and convenience of the route to Egypt and India, by Trieste, as Malta is to the route by Marseilles or Gibraltar. Still Ido not insist on the paramount value of Corfu, as a military and naval station in an En- ':ash, so much as in an European point of view. The great estab lishments and garrisons which Austria has recently erected at Pola, Cattaro, and other points in the Adriatic, are nearly as much standing menaces against the western, as Sebastopol was against the eastern provinces of Turkey, and the constant interference of Austria in the affairs of Monte negro, and of the semi-independent tribes of Albania and Bosnia, tends to show that Russia is not the only neighbour which has views of territorial aggrandisement at the expense of the Porte. Now, the permanent possession' of Corfu by England is as effectual a check to any projects of conquest of the neighbouring Turkish provinces by Austria as our hold on Gibraltar and Malta was, at the beginning of the resent century, found to be to the conquest of Spain and Sicily respectively by France. The letters of the First Napoleon to his brother, King Joseph (already referred to), proved that he considered the possession of Corfu to be indispensable to the furtherance of the ambi tious views which he is well known to have en tertained, of extending the French dominions over the neighbouring parts of the East. And it is evi dent that Corfu is as well placed for the control as for the furtherance of any such projects. It may possibly be objected, that the Powers which were parties to the Treaties of 1815 would not consent to our transformation into a sovereignty of our protectorate of Corfu ; and it is clear to me that our military possession is the only point of interest to foreign States, and that they must be indifferent as to the form under which we may fi nd it best for the interests of the Corfiotes to admini ster their civil government. And it is obvious that if the southern islands (i.e., Cephalonia, Zante, Ithaca, Santa Maura, and Cerigo),which are widely removed from Corfu in race, sentiment, and geo graphical position, were given up to the kingdom of Greece—as those islanders, from national feel ings, desire—they would stiqbe under the joint guarantee of the three protecting powers of Greece, and, consequently, no more liable to fall into the hands of any other State than the Greek Islands of the Archipelago now are. In conclusion, I beg to refer you to my confiden tial despatch of May 20, 1856, and to the memor andum therein inclosed from Chevalier Curcumelli, the Attorney-General of these States, who is very intelligent, and thoroughly acquainted with the sentiments of his Corfiot fellow-countrymen. He argues very strongly in their interest for the incorporation of Corfu and Paxo with the British empire, in the same way as Malta and Gozo. Besides the other advantages to both England and Corfu of such a change, this island would, in the course of a few years, become completely Anglicised, and enriched by British capital and enterprise. It would pay its own expenses, and furnish besides a considerable surplus revenue.—l have, &c. (Signed) JOHN YOUNG. The Right Hen. H. Labouchere, &c. COPY OF A DESPATCH FROM SIR I.

Sir,—l was much gratified at finding in Lord Stanley's confidential despatch of the 4th ult. the assurance that I should be furnished with the necessary instructions previous to the next meeting of the Legislative Assembly. In April and May, 1856, I sent home four papers written by eminent lonians, stating their opinions upon public affairs, and the defects of the existing constitution. _ _ LATEST DERBY BETTING. 15 to 1 agst Marionette (t) 40 to 1 agst Balnamoon (t) 40 to 1 agst Rainbow (t) 1000 to 20 agst Hal o' Kirklees (t) 4000 to 65 agst Ticket-of-leave (t) 4000 to 60 agst Napoleon (t) 5000 to 75 agat Aston (t) 2000 to 30 agat King of Algiers (t) I now forward a paper on the same subject, written by Dr. Julius Tipaldo Pretenderi, Presi dent of the Tribunals of Zante. It well deserves attention, first, because the writer is a learned and accomplished man, who views his subject from an honourable and elevated position, which takes away all suspicion that his views are coloured by personal feelings or disappointment ; and, secondly, more especially, because he is stated to have been one of the three lonians at whose instance, and by whose advice, mainly, the reforms of 1849 were initiated. The views of another, Sir D. Cut cumelli, were forwarded in my confidential de spatch of May 20, 1856 ; and I invited particular attention to them in a subsequent despatch, dated June 10, 1857. I venture to recommend that this paper be printed, as the others were, for the consideration of the Cabinet, and be made with them a subject of reference in the ensuing deliberations.—l have, &c., (Signed) JOHN YOUNG.

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., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a CWT.

Captain Kerr, the Government agent, arrived in Galway yesterday, from Queenstown, to inspect the Prinee Albert steamer, previous to her sailing for New York. This was the first inspection of a vessel of the Lever line by the Government emigration agent. With respect to the Prince Albert's passen gers and freight, the Vindicator gives the following information : " There were 208 first, second, and third-class booked at two o'clock p.m. this day, and there are four trains yet to arrive before the sailing of the ship-4 p.m., 10 p.m,, 12 night, and 12.20 a.m. to-morrow—so that we may very safely estimate the number she will carry at at least 200. With re spect to the cargo, there was put on board of her yesterday and to-day 348 cases and hogsheads of manufactured goods of a valuable description, the larger portion being Irish linens and other productions of native manufacture from the north of Ireland, besides very large quantities of hard ware from Scotland, in hogsheads weighing 16 to 18 cwt. each. The passengers are from every part of thn kingdom, bnt the great proportion of the Irish are from the province of Ulster, next to that from Leinster and Connaught, and comparatively few from Munster, whose population of an emigrating tendency seems to have been completely drained out by the exodus of the famine years, and which now, for the consolation of our Limerick grumblers and growlers, present no resources whatever either in passengers or goods traffic to warrant any sort of direct steam communication between that portion of Ireland and America." THE MURDER OF MR. R. ELY. There is yet no direct clue to the assassin, but the authorities are said to be using every exertion to gain such information as may lead to detection. The correspondent of Saunders 's Newsletter writes as follows : " RoscnEA, Wednesday. —The murder of ad among all this kind heartedll ranks a strong feeling of h and respected g entlem an ot rrewr has spre,ian i The p e asantry in his own immediate neighbourhood, I and a good employer , mournohis titude loss, an for d expman ress, inbenev stron o- his g terms their deep feelings of gra y lent acts. They know the hand which slew their benefactor and friend. They talk openly and broadly of the brutal atrocity ; they do not attempt to conceal their knowledge of the name of, the cowardly ass assin ; still they have no dread or horror of the fearful crime ; they are corrupted by the familiarity of such atro cities, and they content themselves with expressions of lamentation and regret at the loss which they have sus tained by the death of Mr. Ely. The assassin, although well known, is permitted to roam at large; no hand is out stretched to secure him, and in every cottage he is certain of protection and shelter ; and the peasantry do not evince, notwithstanding Mr. Ely's popularity, the slightest wil lingness to aid the officers of justice to apprehend the assassin. The authorities continue to pursue their inqui ries privately, and are taking every possible measure for the capture of the murderer, but up to the present their best efforts have been fruitless. No further facts of impoitanc in addition to those already published have since transpired, but the following description of the suspected assassin and other particulars concerning him is taken from last night's Police Gazette, or Hue-and-Cry : " a Queen's County.—Description of James Delany, na tive of ltossbauu, who stands charged with having, on the night of the sth 'November, 1858, in the barony of Clon donagh, parish of Kyle, fired at and dangerously wounded Richard Ely, Esq., in the left arm, from the effects of which he died on the 6th :—Thirty years of age, five feet seven inches high, slight make, sallow complexion, thin face, regular nose, dark brown hair ; wore a gray tweed frock coat, gray tweed trousers, gray tweed vest.

We have been requested to publish the, following letters :-- " Offices of the Society for Promoting the Adop tion of the Vote by Ballot, 5, Guildhall chambers, Basinghall-street, London, E.C., Nov. 3. "My Lord,—A friend has sent me a Bedford paper containing a report of a lecture delivered at Woburn, by Mr. White, on ' The Morality of Secret Voting.' At this lecture your lordship presided, and not content with filling the ordinary duties of a chairman, you supplemented the lecturer's Observa tions with some of your own, in which you reite- rated the expression that all secrecy is a sham,' and endorsed the lecturer's first principle, ' that all secrecy is of the nature of deceit.' I wish to recal to your mind what occurred at the City of London election : that at a public meeting you endeavoured to remove the difficulty caused by your brother's (Lord J. Russell) opposition to the ballot by asking what reason there was to suppose that he was so strongly opposed to the ballot, and by stating that when in Parliament you yourself had always•voted for the ballet. • _ " I will make no secret of my conviction that all that was said and done to induce the friends of the ballot in the City of London to believe that Lord J. Russell might be induced to reconsider his opinions and support the ballot, including Lord John's pro mise to reconsider tixtr , question with reference to the evidence of the successful working of the ballot in Victoria was a sham,' if not in the nature of deceit.' I say this, and am prepared to justify it by reference to what took place in the House of Com mon's after your brother's election was secure. " As at the public meeting before referred to, you made political capital of the intention of some members of the Ballot Society, including myself, to vote for Lord J. Russell, I think I have a fair right to ask you whether, when you voted for the ballot, as you say you always did when in Parliament, you considered it a measure in the nature of deceit,' and a sham. " You eadorse Mr. White's dogma that all sec recy is of the nature of deceit.' I wish you would kindly answer me the following questions : " A Teacher whom . I . presume you respect said 'that in almsgiving the right hand should not know what the left hand Moth.' ' That in fasting we should not appear unto men to fast.' Is this secrecy in the nature of deceit ? _ _ it in the ' nature of deceit' to seal a letter when you send it through the post? "Is it legalising deceit to prevent by law the publication of income tax returns ? "Is the secret writing the protection of which our newspaper writers enjoy, and of which Mr. Sidney Herbert would deprive them, a ' sham ?' " Is the secret voting at clubs a sham and in the nature of deceit ? " Is the secret voting which naval and military officers exercise at courts martial, and which is ex plained in the paper enclosed, ' a sham ?' " Awaiting the favour of a reply to these ques tions,—l have the honour to be, " Your most obedient servant, " EDWARD C. WHITEHURST, " Vice-Chairman of the Ballot Society. "The Right Hon. C. J. Fox Russell." " Woburn, Nov. 4. My dear sir,—l little thought that a few re marks of mine made to some of my neighbours and fellow-townsmen at a meeting of their Literary and Scientific Institution would have procured me the honour of a communication from the vice-president of the Ballot Society. Had I only known you in that capacity I might have been content to have informed yon that you were in error, and so have left you ; but I have too sincere a respect for your earnestness in the cause of the ballot, and too agree able a remembrance of the last City election to allow me to take any other course than to answer you fully. I must begin by saying that I have not seen (or rather have not read) any report of the meeting you have alluded to, nor have I the paper by me at present. I did not go beyond the ordinary duties of chairman of our meet ings in supplementing any remarks of my own. I stated, on being called on unexpectedly to take the chair, that I did so with pleasure, as (they knew) it gave the right of reply. I did not endorse Mr. White's first principle, that all secrecy is of the nature of deceit. What I said was (of course I don't attempt the precise words), If Mr. White's first principle be true, then all the rest follows, but the French have a proverb that it is only the first step that costs, and I wish you my younger friends, to remember this and be aware of small beginnings. Nothing is easier than for a man to lay down a proposition with a firm voice and confident air and then proceed to build upon it. I don't say that the lecturer has done this, because I want you to take the proposition home with you and to think for your selves.' I then added, my objection to secret voting is that all secrecy is a sham.' Of course, as Mr. White had been lecturing on secrecy in public mat ters, any supplementary remarks of mine could not have had reference to secrecy in private matters, which makes it unnecessary for me to reply to those questions of yours which are of that category. The income tax is unfortunately of a public cha racter. lam in the habit of hearing it denounced as inquisitorial and think its secrecy a sham. You have asked me whether, when I voted in Parlia ment for the ballot, I considered it as a measure of the nature of deceit' and a ' sham.' I should have re plied to the vice-president of the Ballot Society that it is more than 20 years since I voted, and have called upon him to withdraw his imputation ; but I will tell you, sir, that I did not consider the ballot of the nature of deceit, but I always did think and did say that the question was an exagge rated one. And now with respect to the 6 sham' which you have charged me of having been guilty of at the last City election, in my endeavour to re move the difficulty caused by my brother's objec tion to the ballot, I am positive that ti, facts were these :—You will remember that at the meeting at the City of London Tavern Lord John said he would not support the ballot, giving as a reason that whi le the franchise w as so restricted it was but right and fair that those who had it not should at least have the knowledge of how those who possessed it used it. Remarking on this I said, " After all, is Lord John Russell so much opposed to the ballot as some people think ? How stands the case ? He says the franchise is so limited that the unfranchised should at least have the satisfaction of knowing how the enfranchised vote ; but Lord John is for an extension of the franchise from £lO to £5, and it must be evident that as thefe is an increase in the franchise there must be a diminution of his ob jection to the ballot." This seems to be a logical in ference, but I used it to cover my brother's opposi tion to the ballot by his advocacy of an extension of the franchise. I went on to say that I had always supported the ballot; but you cannot for a moment think that could have been guilty of the preposterous folly of urging what I had done 20 years before as an index of what Lord John was likely to do for the future. I used it in this manner—l said I had voted for the ballot, if the electors made it a sine qua non they would place themselves in the ridiculous dilemma of having to prefer me to my brother. These are the only references I made to the ballot at the City election, except claiming the vote of some of the electors from their con fidence in you. You have now my reply, but as you have also charged my brother of having been guilty of sham as to the ballot, I beg to say that I am confident the charge is as groundless in his case as it was in mine.—l remain, dear, sir, very faith fully yours, 6' CHARLES J. F. RUSSELL. " 6 E. C. Whitchurst, Esq." et Woburn, Nov. 5. "My dear Sir,—l received by this day's post a leading article from a newspaper under your hand and seal. As it has probably emanated from you, and has reference to the subject on which I re plied to you last night, I do not intend to read it, trusting to your sense of justice to correct any erroneous impressions it may convey. I find the report in the Beds Nerettry professed to be merely a condensation of Mr. White's lecture. It might have occurred to you that the report of the chair man's remarks was probably an even greater con densation ; and so have saved you the trouble and annoyance of writing on imperfect data.—l re main, dear sir, very faithfully yours, " CHAS.

There is no sub stantial difference between your remark% as giyen in your letter and the condensed but evidently faithful report in.the Mercury. " You expressed no dissent from Mr. White's absurd proposition that " all secrecy is of the, na ture of deceit ;' and as I read your words, whether in your letter or in the report, you gave it at least an implied assent. Mr. White did not limit his proposition to public matters, and therefore those of my questions which relate to matters of a private nature are not out of place. Those questions which relate to court-martials and secret writing in news papers are clearly within the category of public matters. The report in the Times of your speech does not give the same colour as your letter to your remarks about your supporting the ballot ; it ' reads, and was so understood by me and others at the time, as an appeal to us to vote for Lord John Russell, as your votes would - show, his family were not opposed to the ballot, and a friend , who took an active part in Lord John's committee tells me you dwelt to him on the same fact of your, supporting the ballot, and like me he understood you to refer to it for the same purpose above men tioned. You refer to the length of time which has elapsed since you voted for the ballot ; but let me remind you that the alleged immorality of the ballot was a stock argument'even before Mr. Grote intro duced the question in 1853 ; that all arguments on both sides of that view ofthe question were exhausted while you were voting for it, and that it is no new discovery to which you can refer to justify your change of opinion. I wish I could add that, am satisfied with your explanation, and still more with your defence of Lord John Russell, but I cannot ; and with regard to the noble member for this city, it would take much to make me believe in the since rity of his promise to reconsider the ballot question when after his alleged reconsideration he only re peats the oft-refuted fallacies with which 20 years ago he opposed the motions of Mr. Grote.—Acknow ledging the courteous tone of your letters, I am, my lord, your faithful servant, " EDWARD C. WHITEIIURST. " The Right Hon. Lord C. J. F. Russell, Woburn, Bedfordshire." " Woburn, Nov. 8. "Dear Sir,—l cannot seethat myremarks implied my assent to Mr. White's dictum ; they seem to me to have left the question an open one, to be decided on by the audience at their leisure. Nay, not one of my remarks to the lads present at the lecture bear upon you. You assume that because my views have changed on the subject of the ballot they must have done so on the ground of its immorality, and the lecture ; but for this assumption you have no autho rity whatever, unless you can find it in my having presided: at a lecture on the morality of the ballot, which turned out to be a lecture on its immorality. I remain, dear sir, very faithfully , your_ i s CHARLES J. F. RUSSELL. " E. C. Whitehurst, Esq." • THE NAVY. The line-of-battle ship Trafalgar, 120, in dock at Chatham, where she is being converted into a 90- gun, screw steamer, is ordered to be fitted with the following powerful armament :—Lower deck, 32 8- inch guns, each 65 cwt., 9 ft. long ; middle deck, 34 32-pounders, each 56 cwt., 9 ft. 6 in. long ; upper deck, 22 68-pounders, 95 cwt., 8 ft. long, together with two 68-pounders, each of 95 cwt., on "chocks." Yesterday the Committee on Dockyard Economy continued their investigaions at Chatham dockyard, at which establishment they have been engaged upwards of a week. Several of the officers were un der examination during the day, and numerous re turns have been called for, but the committee con duct their proceedings with a great deal of privacy. The Sphynx, 6, paddlewheel steam sloop, got her steam up in the basin, at Portsmouth, on Tuesday morning, to test the utility of Normandy's new patent apparatus for profit ing pure aerated fresh water from foul or , fresh sea water, with the view to its being fitted to her Majesty's ships. The apparatus is an' iron construction 6 , feet high, 20 inches wide, and 4 feet six inches long. It pos sesses the following advantages over the machines which have been heretofore tried :—lt aerates the water it yields, and then makes it pure, wholesome, and immediately cool and fit for drinking, with a saving of half the fuel ordinarily used by the con densers. The experiments were renewed on Wed nesday, in the presence of Admiral Sir G. Seymour and other officers of the Dockyard establishment, and with the most satisfactory results. We can ourselves bear testimony to the freshness, purity, and sweetness of the water produced by this appa ratus, which ought certainly to be attached to every sea-going steamer in the naval and mercantile ser vice. Hadj Alarby Attar and a party of Moorish offi cers of distinction in the service of the Emperor of Morocco, on a special mission to this country for the purpose of purchasing guns and other war ma terials, as stated by themselves, two of whom spoke English with tolerable fluency, yesterday visited the departments of Woolwich Arsenal, under an order of the Earl of Malmesbury. They each wore the Ottoman fez, and were habited in the rich and decorative costume of their country. Their appear ance attracted such a degree of curiosity among the labourers, who happened to be leaving the Arsenal at the time of their departure, that it was found necessary to despatch a party of police-constables to escort them to the railway station. The screw store-transport Industry, having em barked a number of supernumerary seamen from the receiving\ 0 ship Fisgard at Woolwich, sailed yester day morning, laden with victuallinc , s tores and clothing foir Ascension and Rio. The Urgent, 6, iron steam troopship, Commander M'Donald, has been undocked at Portsmouth after receiving a coating of composition, She requires very little refit. She will, when ready, embark troops for the Mediterranean. Commander M'Donald and Mr. Braund were not tried on Tues day for " negligently navigating the ship, whereby she took the shore off - Chichester," but the court martial was ordered- " to inquire into the circum stances under which her Majesty's ship Urgent was run ashore on the Ist inst., and to try the comman der, John W. D. M'Donald, and Mr. W. P. Braund, the master of the said ship, for their conduct on that occasion." The following work is going on in Portsmouth Dockyard :—ln the steam basin the Melpomene, 51 ; Mersey, 40 ; Dauntless, 33, all screw frigates, are being brought forward for commission. The Urgent, screw troop ship, and the first-class paddle sloops Bulldog and Sphynx are under repairs. In the old basin are the Britannia, 120, sailing three decker, fitting for a reception and training ship for newly entered young officers for the navy, in lieu of the Illustrious, 72, Capt. R. Harris; the Alfred, 50, awaiting-to be inspected by the Lords of the Admiralty after the late, gunnery experiments upon the iron plates bolted to her sides; the Ringdove, despatch gun vessel, and the Decoy, gunboat, under repairs. In dock arc the Agamemnon, 91, under repairs ; the Neptune, 120, sailing three decker, in rapid process of conversion to a 91 gun screw two-decker ; the Vulcan, iron troop ship, under repairs, and awaiting new engines of 400 horse power, by Maudslay ; and the Rinaldo, 17 gun screw corvette, building. On the building slips are the three deckers Victoria, 121 guns and 1000 horse power ; Prince of Wales, 131 guns and 800 horse power ; Royal Frederick, 116, sailer ; Duncan, 100, screw two-decker ; and the Bacchante, 51 guns and 600 horse power. THE ..IBAIY. In all probability the 14th Light Dragoons and the 9th Lancers will return from India next year; but it is very doubtful whether other regiments will be sent out to relieve them, all moves of this de scription depending very much upon the result of the deliberations of the Royal Commission now settling the future arrangements of the army in India. Should two more cavalry regiments be ordered out, the 11th Hussars and 13th Light Dragoons will, in all likelihood, be those selected. The following circular memorandum, in refer ence to the new description of clothing for India, has been issued from the Horse Guards to all com manding officers of battalions, regiments, and de pots Draughts for India should be in future provided, prior to embarkation, vith one suit of drab-coloured India cloth ing, a pattern of which is deposited in the pattern-room at pall-Mall. This. suit will be provided regimentally at the expense of the men, and will form part of the Indian cloth ing required to be provided on the arrival of troops in India, w hich by the last regulations consists of two su it s o f drab coloured twill, and of other minor artieles. When troops proceed to India by the overland route it is desirable that this drab suit should be considered a part of their sea-kit, and d corresponding reduction should be made in the arti cles provided under that head.

Council of India for the conveyance of addi tional reinforcements for India, viz.:—The Linclu den Castle, 960 tons, to embark troops for Bombay on the 24th inst.; and the Eveline, 1,000 tons, to embark reinforcements for Calcutta on the 25th inst. Both vessels will sail from Gravesend.

SECRETARY LABOUCHERE. CORFU, June 10, 1857. Sir,—My opening speech to the Legislative Assembly, their reply, long considered and warmly debated, and a few sentences in which I acknow ledged it, went forward to you on Tuesday last ; and you will, I am persuaded, be well satisfied with the good fortune which has attended this most difficult matter—in fact, the turning point, or, more accurately speaking, the " pons asinorum," of the Assembly's first session. After carefully composing the speech, I availed myself of the suggestions and criticism of the Presi dent, and of the two or three other lonians I could best confide in; and the result has been, as I am informed by the residents of all the larger islands, a very good impression on the minds and temper of the people. The prcof of this happy result is to be found in the address of the Assembly, which you will see makes no allusion to high police, no complaint against the protection, mentions no infringement of the constitution, of individual freedom, or of liberty of the press. No Lord Charles Fitzroy grievance of Austrian Police ; and yet also every paragraph was penned and carried by so-called members of the opposition. In a Parliament whose election was, as all admit,perfectly free and untainted by English influence; and in which there are only places for a few,the opposition is,and must always be, the majority. They confine themselves to complaints about the judicature, public instruction, and the pension law; all of which they are at liberty to deal with, and existing interests held sacred, to amend as they please. All this is highly satisfactory ; still I do not an ticipate much practical advantage. They will not assign sufficient salaries to the judges, so as to enable the Government to avail itself of the best men. Public instruction will, probably, remain sacrificed to private interests and the desire for patronage ; and the attempt to deprive all the pension-holders, and, especially, the English, of their acquired rights, will, probably, cause the postponement of any beneficial change in that quarter. No doubt, by a very vigilant attention, by stand ing always on one's guard. by removing, as I have endeavoured to do, topics of disagreement, and striving, as I hope you will think, not without success, to infuse somewhat of a calm and modera tion into the working of parties, a lull may be pro duced, under favourable circumstances ; but the impression upon my mind is, that no permanent benefit to England, or real satisfaction to the loni ans, can] accrue. England is in a false position here, and the islands are too widely separased geographically, and their interests too distinct, ever to form a homogeneous whole, under foreign aus pices. The small size and distance, one from the other, of the islands render the growth of a common public opinion impossible. The free press, consequently, has no character of reality nor echo in the minds of the people. Failing these important elements, there does not exist the power necessary to control and elevate the tendencies of the Legislative As sembly, which, without such enlightened guidance, either in the press or the public, passes its time in discussing quarrels between the different islands or in the pursuit of individual interests. Napoleon says, in one of his letters to his brother Joseph, " What a nation hates is another nation," and this sentiment poisons with suspicion, or chills with cold reception, every benefit we confer and every ad vancement ; and if this dictum be true as to pro vinces acquired and governed as an integral part of an empire, it is doubly so of dependencies held by such tenure as England holds these islands ; the sooner, therefore, she extricates herself from the position the better for her own reputation, and for I the cause of representative institutions generally. If her Majesty's Government could find, or make, an opportunity of discussing the subject with the other powers that were parties to the Treaty of Paris, I should most earnestly recommend its being done. Now is a good opportunity; a victory has been gained over the discontent and unreasonableness of those who are discontented without a cause, or mi▪ sled by faction. The lonians complain of no constitutional grievance—.of no abuse of power on our part. England could retire from the protection wi▪ th a good grace. I mean especially from the Southern Islands, in which all the difficulties really originate. With respect to one of them, Santa Maura, it is not an island at all—it is a bit of the continent. Grivas, the noted Greek chieftain, rode from Greece into the citadel, to pay a visit, without dismounting, some weeks ago. To part with it would be a happy boon to the other islands ; for while it does not half pay its expenses, and is a heavy clog on the resources of Corfu, its preten sions for patronage and expenditure know no limits. As to Corfu, it could scarcely be given up with out bad faith ; for its possession by Greece would keep all Albania and Epirus in constant agitation ; but it ought to be held by England in full sovereignty as a colony ; and if so held, it would, with its dependencies, form a most valuable and beautiful possession. Corfu, as well as.its s atellite, Paco, more than pays all its expense s ; has, indeed, a large surplus revenue, though it is no t half i peopled ; more than half wa ste, undrained, an neglected. Under really Brit ish aus p ices, its agri culture, its commerce, and its people, wou ld receive new life, and a vast imp ulse. Theisland would become a garden, and its port the centre o f the comme rce of the adjacent countries. This is well known in Corfu, and in it alone, of all the other islands, there exi sts no desire to be separated from England. I venture, however, to recall the question to your attention, inasmuch as the present seems to me a f avou rable conjuncture for entertaining it. At the close of the war, the giving up the southern islands might have been variously looked on as a surren der, a concession, or a withdrawal from a position where:failure had occurred ; or, if Corfu were taken in sovereignty, as a territorial acquisition, made a t the very moment when such an idea was studiously disclaimed ; but now no such objections can occur ; for the moment the ()Wade* to the working of the ~ ✓ a~
