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, dm, 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 ;Teat 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 I 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 prematuru 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 numan betng,. a cu • 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 how those penalties may b e m iti gated, how the self indulgence, bitterness may be remo ve d, an d how the evil consequences may be avoided, and, a b ove all, that i t aßn h ntid e dn its i sr ug e l scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

No man has a better right to be disconcerted and surprised at the sound 'of a solitary challenge of defiance in the midst of an acclaiming chorus of contented lacqueys. The day before yesterday.ali the puppy-dogs thatfa.vpi. and wriggle at the feet of power were preparing heir little yelp of satisfaction at the wisdom and policy of an act of grace which had the double merit of dismissing and disgracing a man of eccentric hon our and most inconvenient courage. When the news came that M. de Montalembert had refused the Imperial " pardon," these spaniels of success, with their ever keen scent for mean motives, were beginning to cry out, " Behold a martyr, who will go to prison, and will pay a fine, though the gendarmes won't have him at any price." What a pity the flunky theory of resistance should miss its mark ! What an anthology of epigrams inspired by the spirt of the pantry we have lost now that know precisely how the poisoned shaft of Imperial clemency was arrested in its flight ! For the first time these seven years, in France, irresponsible power finds itself face to face with a will as un- ' quailing and as resolute as its own, armed with a just cause, and a " belief in right." At this strange and unusual apparition the guilty conscience of Usurpation starts, as in a troubled dream. Despo tism that hesitates is lost. In the anxiety to connect the name of Montatem bert with a dishonourable date, and to season the injury of a favour with the spice of insult, the bounds of legality were easily overstepped. and a techni cal impropriety or two brushed aside, by one whose idea of law is " something to be broken.,' On Thursday morning, the 2d of December, the Moniteur i announced with its customary glib assur ance and easy superiority, that the Emperor had remitted the sentence of the Correctional Police. Shortly after noon on the same day, M. de Mont alembert, less magnificent than the Moniteur but more legal, presented himself at the Registrar's office, accompanied by MM. Berryer and Dufaure, to lodge an appeal against the sentence which the Master of the Moniteur, making a law unto himself, had, with a splendid negligence of phrase and a superb indifference to legal forms, remitted in the early morning. Can the right of appeal duly exercised within the delay allowed by , law be arrested by a pardon emanating from the Fountain of Dishonour itself ? That is now the question which, if M. de Montalem bert and his counsel were disposed, like Favorinus, the philosophical grammarian, to decline to argue with a man in command of thirty legions, would easily be solved according to la loi du plus fort. But we have good reason to doubt whether the illustrious apologist of liberty in these latter days will be quite so complaisant as the Pagan of the second century, " I have appealed," he says, " within the term allowed by the law against the sentence pronounced against me. No Government in France has had, up to the present, the right to remit a penalty which is not definitive." The issue is a very simple one. The cause is still sub judiee,• and the condemnation, pending the appeal, is, pro tanto, null and of no effect. Until the time allowed by the law for an appeal had expired, was there any final judgment recorded upon which the Im perial prerogative could separate ? Now that an appeal is duly lodged there can be no matter of doubt that the sentence of the lower court is sus pended, and that the defendant is no longer in law d h o ia n " rigahptpea ofr a prison er . W as h e a pr i soner a t th e moment w h en ed a , pp w ea h l en re h m e ai h n a in d g n l o e t ga y ll e y t appealed, the "pa r unexhausted ? These are points to exercise the acuteness of lawyers and to amuse o f curiosity learned amateurs. The question that transcends all technical considerations, the question that concerns us all, is—shall force or law predo • minate ? M. de Montalembert's letter to the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris leaves no doubt of his own high sense of the eternal cause for which he is called upon to plead. Protesting, with a noble and • calm disdain fulness, which only valets will misinterpret, against the last indignity of Imperial favour, which it was reported the Archbishop had solicited, he writes:— "Proud and honoured by a condemnation proves my fidelity to the political principl es of my o my whole life, and which comes so opportunely to jus tify in the eyes of Europe and of posterity all that I have said or thought on the actual condition of France, I have at this moment no other desire than to leave to my judges the responsibility of their acts, and I could only regard in the light of a real wrong (injure) the slightest favour emanating from the Imperial Government. In the midst of the changes of which I have been the witness, and of the trials of which I have been the victim, my honour has been intact. It is to preserve it from all attempt, even in appearance, that I take the liberty of expressing to your Eminence a disquie tude, perhaps superfluous, but perfectly legitimate." Words like these outlive occasions and " sen tence" empires. It was hoped, no doubt, that the terms of the " pardon" would detach M. de Monta lembert more than ever from the sympathies of the Liberal party, by the perfidious association of his name with the 2d of December; but the avrox ani mus of a man who never pandered to the vulgar or bent the knee to perjury, is all too strong in honour In all angry comments that have been made upon this transaction, it seems to have been too much forgotten that it is in the higheSt degree unfair to. judge French political affairs by an English standard. In this country the freedom of the press ris held as sacred as the Habeas Corpus Act. But it was not always so. It is little more than a century ago that it was a matter of State policy in England to keep in check the liberty of the press. If we go a little further back than even that, and look to the days of William 111. called by so many the saviour of England, we s hall'find .that the urgency of the crisis was held to justify very strong repres sions of adyerse public opinion, and doubtless the e repressive policy was then-a wise one. At that pe riod there existed in England, as there now exists in France, the active and zealous partisans of a rival Dynasty. It is not every age or every country that is fit for the blessing; of an unrestricted press: England was not fit a century and a half age,. France is not fit now. The abstract rights of the press must in all ages be modified by the immediate necessities of the countryi In Our h.atred of despotism aS such, we might as fairly quarrel with the Empire as with the restrictions of the press. The people of France are not the people to be trusted with the care of themselyes, and by the same rule they are not pre pared for perfect liberty of the press. The Empire is necessary for France, and under present circum stances the control of the press is necessary for the Empire. We, who can do without despotism, can use the liberty o: the _press with ou t f ear . B u t we are not therefore at liberty to rail indiscriminat ingly. at measures rendered necessary in another country; and amongst an o th er peop l e , un d er a totally different state of thin gs . It is due to the Emperor of the French to con strue the two acts of the trial and pardon of Comte De Montalembert, not by the standard by which 'the like actions you'd be tried in this country, but by the actual circumstances of France, and in con nection with the whole context of the Emperor's rUle, of which they form a part: It is, said' by the admirers of M. De Montalembert that there is nothing seditiousin his pamphlet, nothing directly hostile to the existing Government o f F ranc e, and that it is only inferentially that a charge of bad tendency can be made out. We cannot admit that opinion. We are grateful for the accomplished author's tribute to this country anclte our institu tions, but we would rather have b een w ith ou t the compliment than that he should have excited a feel ing in his own lead which might easily 'be fostered into jealousy, discontent, insubordination to Govern ' ment, and great public disaster. It is not, the pub ' lishing of the letter that was wrong, but the pub lishing it when, yhere, and as, h e did. Th e cir cumstances make all the difference in the moral turpitude of the action. It is not wrong to smoke tobacco, yet there are places where, for the cause of public safety or convenience, even that innocent recreation is forbidden ; and the Man who should find himself in custody-for enjoying his cigar in a railway carri age , a rick - yard or a powdr mill, would have no app ea l t o pu bli c compassion on the ground that smoking was in itself harmless ; much less would he have such appeal if it couldbe reason ably suspected that he had any (tort of sympathy, howeVer remote, with the possible results of his imprudence. If we turn from M. de Montalembert to the Em peror, we must at once acquit him Of any personal or ungenerous purpose. As we said above, this particular act must be construed, not by itself, but with the help of the context which the rest of .the Eutparor's„Apititkomrlies. New,- hewrisn'a we - * this side of the water may feel that we *mild never endure an imperial regime, we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that Louis Napoloon was the true friend of his country in her extremity, and has continued so. When he uttered at Bordeaux the memorable words, l'Empire c'est la,paix, he enunciated a great truth, which six years of experience have confirmed. Within that time the country has made the most rapid strides in every department ; and it is past a doubt that the whole people are far better off now, and enjoy greater protection to life and property, than existed at any time under institutions nomi nally more liberal. Louis Napoleon may, there fore, claim to be looked upon as the friend of France, of her peace, her wealth, and her advancement. We do not believe that he loves despotism for his own sake, but he has seen it good for the people who have chosen him, and therefore, at the risk of temporary unpopularity, he does not shrink from decided and even severe measures when the in terests of his Empire seem to demand them. The pardon so freely accorded, for reasons that we have ventured to suggest, remove from all parties the last shadow of excuse for ill-natured reproach and ungracious imputation of motives. A CAPTAIN AC'TING AS A SURGEON. The American ship, John Bright, R. C. Cutting, master, which has just arrived at this port, after a boisterous passage of 37 days from New York, on the morning of Wednesday, the 27th October, when in latitude 37 deg. 52. min., longitude 68 deg. 2 min., discovered a vessel in distress, and imme diately went to her relief. Though a heavy sea was running, which would have daunted the courage of any but the hardy sons of the ocean acquainted with danger, and actuated by feelings of humanity towards a brother sailor in distress, a boat was lowered, manned by the mate (Mr. Towers) and five trusty sailors. They pulled lustily for the wreck, and succeeded in rescuing six persons from almost immediate destruction. The unfortunate vessel proved to be the brigantine Liberal, David S. Kinney, master, from Weymouth, N.S., bound for Barbadoes. She had been capsised in a terrific gale of wind, at 4 o'clock on the preceding Monday afternoon. When discovered she had righted, but was under water, and the sea was making a com plete breach over her. The captain, in attempting to relieve his vessel, the first day of the disaster, was struck by a plank or spar, wh i c h b ro k e hi s left leg just above the ankle,• and in this helpless and suffering condition he had been from Monday after noon until Wednesday, with only a few raw pota toes and apples for food, and without a drop of water. On board the John Bright Capt. Kinney received every attention, but mortification soon appeared in the fractured limb, which rendered it evident that the only chance of saving his life was in its immediate amputation. Capt. Cutting, after advising with the cabin passengers, who fully con curred in this opinion, readily undertook the diffi cult and hazardous operation which tries the skill of the most experienced surgeons, and on Sunday morning following he amputated the limb above the knee, since which the ship has experienced a succession of gales, which have, in consequence of the prolonged length •f the voyage and the violent motion of the ship, been most un favourable for the patient. Notwithstanding these untoward circumstances, though his suffer ings have been intense, he h as been gradually im proving, and is believed now to be in a fair way for recovery. It is hoped his c ase an d th e u t ter l y desti tute condition of his crew will receive immediate and suitable aid froM their Government. The con duct of Capt. Cutting, on this trying occasion, de mands the highest praise, for though his duty was indeed a painful one, he showed himself fully com petent for the occasion, and exhibited a degree of skill and steadiness of nerve in this his first surgi cal operation of which an experienced practitioner might well be proud.—Liverpool Mercury. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Government emigration ship Wellington, 636 tons, Capt. J. M. Howlett, sailed from Southampton on Sunday, the 28th ult., for Sydney, New South Wales, with 239 emigrants, in charge of Surgeon Superintendent Robert Robertson. The Emi gration Commissioners received tenders on Thursday for a ship to proceed to Sydney to be ready for the reception of passengers on such day as the commissioners may appoint between the 7th and 14th of January. [AbvEßTisEmENT).—Trolloway's Ointment and Pills have again cured an ulcerated leg, after every other medi cine had failed. Henry Winton, of Rickmansworth, was an object of horror to his friends, from his ulcerous sores. He tried every medicine likely to benefit him, but it was of no avail. Finally, one of his legs became so completely covered with ulcers that amputation of the limb appeared to be the only thing likely to save his life. At this juncture hp had recourse to Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and in {Or months, by using these remedies, he was completely cored, to the astonishment of all who knew him. Printed directions for the use of these medi'ines are affixed to each pot and box. The usurpation of principalities, and the confis cation of royal or princely property, though in directly producing a powerful influence on the sen timents of the whole community, had a direct bearing on the highest class only. The cause of alienation next to be considered materially affected the position of the important class that comes next to the highest in the social scale. We have ruled India by a bureaucracy, and there is no description of rule more fatally unpopular with the once influ ential classes of a subject land. Wherever such a government is carried on by a conquering race, the native gentry and landholders sink gradually into a state of mortifying and discontened insignificance. The natural tendency of every such system is to re pel the local magnates, an d to raise up the obscure and more manageable order of natives to be its agents and its tools. This has been the case in India, and it has been attended with a twofold evil. It has rendered the better class disaffected, and it has brought into power and prominence an active and unprin cipled order of men, Nho have in many instances, + during the late outbreak, exerted their influenca with fatal success against the Government which has. reposed too blind a confidence in this work of its own hands. The native gentleman on whose letter we are commenting, represents an opinion very current among the better orders of Indian society when he indicates as one of the principal causes of our unpopularity in India, the gradual exclusion of men of respectable family from the ' service of the state, and the employment of the lower order of natives in their stead. He attributes to these Pundits' and MOulvies of low extraction, who have gained official position by passing through the Government schools, a vast deal of that incen diary.feeeling which was the proximate cause of the recent outbreak.' Whether this inference be' warranted or not by the facts of the case—as to which we are not yet in a position to form an ade quate judgment--it is abundantly clear that no system of government can be more mistaken than that which tends to discourage and alienate a still respectable and once important order of men, whose services it repudiates, and whose self-respect it cruelly wounds. The class of grievances to which the native writer next directs attention, as having had much to do with creating the disaffection which unhappily ex ists in India, are more or less Connected with the details of local administration. The corruption of the natives employed as officers in the courts of collectors, magistrates, and judges, is a prolific source of general and well-grounded disaffection. This corruption does not entirely proceed from the rooted and ingrained dishonesty of Asiatic func tionaries. There have been times, even in India, when this corruption was kept within bounds; there never have been times, even in India, when it has been so rank and glaring as under British rule. There is a cause for this. The pay of the native offi cials is far too small, and their power is far too great. Their salary is a pittance on which they can barely live with decency ; their power extends to a control over important decrees, for the pur chase of which hardly any bribe is too high. It is with these officials, as a general rule, that suitors make their arrangements in the first instance. Cases involving many lacy of rupees are virtually settled as these functionaries choose. One result is that many of these men, on the pay of porters, live live with the profusion of princes. A still worse re sult is that a universal impression is produced in India that justice is a saleable commodity at an exi ceedingly extravagant tariff. The method of pro cedure adopted in these local courts is'aiiother source of very general and just' discontent. We have pre served in India that cast iron rigidity , of the Common Law which we have been compelled to abandon at home. A common law judgment is given for the whole sum claimed ; it knows nothing of instal ments. When the county courts were established in England this absurdity had to be given up, and in those courts nine orders out of every ten direct the payment of the debt claimed by instalments. Let any one conversant with the subject imagine what the result would be, if every judgment deli vered in every county court in England and Wales was a peremptory order for instant payment of the whole debt. Yet this slate of things, which would be utterly impossible here, is an actual fact in India. It was never so before the days of British rule : " Under the native rulers, both Hindoo and Mus sulman--if any person was not able to pay his debts or the amount of a judgment obtained against him in a court of justice, in one sum, an arrange ment was made for payment by instalments, to which the plaintiff was obliged to submit." The same system was applied to balances of revenue ; instalments spread over many years were allowed, and when the assessment appeared excessive, a reduction was made in the Government demand. There is another great cause of discontent connected with the administration of the local courts. The old system of settling disputes by Punehayet—the arbitration of fellow-villagers meeting to arrange differences on equitable terms—is as much as pos sible discouraged and checked. Here, again, note the absurdity and folly of our proceedings. Just as our most advanced reformers, headed by Lord Brougham, are laboUring to introduce Courts of Conciliation into this country, our Government in India is doing its best to discountenance a most admirable institution of the same kind, coeval with the history of the people, intertwined with their habits, and adequate to their wants. The list of grievances connected with the Local Courts includes two other points :—the compulsory tax on justice imposed by the enforced employment of stamped paper in all law proceedings ; and the frequency of appeals. The latter practice diminishes the re spect paid to the local judgment, trebles the cost of procedure, and enables the heaviest purse to win. The stamp regulation is so odious that it is a cur rent saying among th© people, that " the courts of justice are turned into shops for the sale of stamps." - We have not space to follow the 'native writer through his long but temperate list of the causes WaterfordySsssivhoot oaliettr Miles Opened.

William Morley, sub-warder, said,—On Tuesda afternoon, about 20 minutes past 2, Warder Goo win asked the prisoners if they had anything exchange. The prisoner was sitting on the front seat, which he left, and as he passed me I noticed he had a piece of meat, about an ounce in weight , in his pannikin. The next thing-that dre:w my attention was the sound of a blow, the other prisoner calling out, "He's got a knife, sir." On looking in that direction I saw Goodwin staggering back, the blood pouring from his mouth, and Mor ris rushing to the prisoner, saying, " What would you do, man ?" The prisoner was then brandishing the knife over his head. I saw the knife descend twice, and he held the knife as a dagger. Onpush ing the prisoner on one side I saw that Morris was stabbed, and bleeding profusely from a wound in the neck. I then seized the prisoner and said, You silly man, what have you done ?" He said, " I hope he is dead ; for there are two or three more that want settling." I took him, and the prisoner said he would go quietly. Prisoner—Did you take notice where the knife was when I passed you ? Witness- 1 /01141ml it in your hand. Stephen Roberts—l was a prisoner in the same ward as the prisoner, and was having my dinner with him on Tuesday. I was on the back seat and heard the prisoner say "My meat stinks." The I t l h t prisonerwent n oc k t in t o h w e a p r a d s n k G i n o o w d b mi c i n h . he thought a g r h d t o m m s ea ' bone. Goodwin said the meat was beautiful, there was nothing the matter with it. The prisoner re plied " It is," and drew his right hand up, in which I saw a knife. He drew it from his sleeve and held it as a dagger, and he was about to strike Goodwin in the neck, when I said "He has got a knife." Goodwin then turned round and the knife caught him on the mouth. Morris was standing close by, and attempted to lay hold of the prisoner, but be fore he could do so the prisoner struck Morris two or three times with the knife in the face and neck. The prisoner had his hand up about doing it again when I caught hold of him by the wrist. I hear the prisoner say "There are two or three of you want doing for here." Morley said, " Whitt a foolish fellow you are to do such a thing as that," when the prisoner said " I will put their lights out in about a minute." Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did you see the knife before the prisoner struck the blow ? Witness—No, he had it up his sleeve. Walter Dunn, another prisoner, said—Warder Goodwin, on Tuesday afternoon, was engaged weigh ing meat, to see that the prisoners had full weight. Prisoner went about 12 yards to Goodwin and com plained of his meat not being sweet. Goodwin exa mined it, and said he would not change it. With that, the prisoner struck Goodwin on the right side of the face, moving his right hand as if he was shifting something from his sleeve and then made another " job "at Goodwin with a knife. At the same time the prisoner said, " You , I gill put: your light out of you if you do not give me what is right." Morris ran and seized the pri soner, when the prisoner caught hold of Morris and prisoner w l oet o , c a k n y d er came the in I saw him distinctly job at him four times with his right hand, while he held him in his left. Wh en the prisoner was seized Morley said, " You will be very sorry for this , " when the prisoner repli e d, N o , I shan't ; for there are one or t wo of you would go with him. want son s e e r tt s l a i indg he."

I re co ll ec t th e day before (Mon day), and heard Goodwin sa y t o the prisoner, "You have been here before, h ow many times . " The prisoner said; " once," when Goodwin said, " twice." Goodwin then went.away, when the prisoner used an opprobrious term in reference to him. The prisoner here said he did not sit next to the witness on Tuesday. He should like to have one of the other persons called, because he could prove how the knife really was in the pannikin. Mr. Tyrwhitt said any witness the prisoner wanted should be called, upon which George Fordham Collier said that when the pri soner got up from his seat on Tuesday with his pan nikin he had the knife in it, and not up his sleeve. Prisoner—That is true, and I had the knife in the panikin when I passed Warder Morley. The warder spoke to me first. Mr. Tyrwhitt, having cautioned the prisoner in the usual form, asked him what he had to say i n answer to the charge, telling him that what he did say would be taken down in writing, and might be used in evidence against him at his trial. The prisoner—l. will say what I have got to say when I go before a jury; for I do not know that what is taken down will not be altered. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner to New gate for trial on the charge of cutting and wound ing with intent to murder. The prisoner asked when he could have his hand cuffs off. He had had them on 72 hours, and was in dreadful pain. • The governor said he would see to it, andthe prisoner was taken back to his cell. No. 20,734.

Simpson, 24, a prisoner confined in that pri- son for six months, of stabbing with intent to mur- der Warder Henry Goodman and Warder Benja min Morris, on Tuesday last. The examination of all the witnesses, with the exception of Morris, was taken. in the Governor's room, but Morris was so weak from loss of blood that he had been unable to leave his bed until that morning, and it was neces sary to proceed to the infirmary to take his depo sition. .The first witness called was Henry Goodwin, who said—l am a warder in this prison, and have been so for upwards of 14 years. On Tuesday last I was in the dining-room serving out some meat for pieces of bond which sometimes come in the meat.. About 2 o'clock I was in the dining-room of the ward in which the prisoner was confined with the other prisoners. The prisoner quitted his place and came to me, about a distance of 12 yards, with a piece of meat in his left. hand, and a knife concealed in his right. I did not see the knife, because it was up his sleeve. The knife was the knife the prisoner used to cut his dinner. The prisoner when he came to me said, " This piece of meat stinks." I examined it and said, ." It is sweet." I was in the act of lay ing it upon the cupboard when the prisoner struck me a violent blow with a knife on the mouth and lip. He cut my upper lip, and the wound is nearly three inches in length. I had not seen the. knife when I received the blow. Warder Morris came up and put himself between us and said, " Would you kill him ?" I was partly stunned, and did not hear the prisoner's reply. The violence of . the blow fnreed me on the cupboard. When I looked the prisoner push him away and inflict a cut Upon-him: I have no recollection of what occurred afterwards, as I was nearly choked with blood. Benjamin Morris, also a warder, who appeared to be very ill, said—On Tuesday last I was in the dining-room when the prisoner was at dinner. I was standing within three yards of Goodwin when I heard the prisoner say, "It stinks." Goodwin had the meat at the time, and put it into the pri soner's panikin. The prisoner put it back on the cupboard, and repeated, " It stinks, and I can't cat it." At the same mo men t h e struck Goodwin in the face. The prisoner raised his hand and struck a se cond time, when I rushed between them to pre vent a further assault. The prisoner then struck me on the right cheek, but the blow was intended for Goodwin. He did not see me, as I was behind him: I then closed with him, when the prisoner struck at me, and I received a blow on the left side of the neck. I did not feel the cut, nor did I know he had a knife. I heard some one say, " The st a knife ! the knife !" and " Go away, Mr. Morri s ; you are wounded." By this time I had thrust the prisoner back against the door, when some of the yassinc assistance. I and on turning round I saw the knife and picked it up. I after wards saw myself bleeding from both sides of my face. The ,knife produced, which was covered with rushed blood, is the one I picked up. I have been unable to go home since, and I have not left my bed until this morning. Mr. Henry Wakefield said—l am surgeon to the House of Correction. On Thursday afternoon I saw the injured Warders in the infirmary. Warder Goodwin was suffering from the cut in his lip. The wound extended three inches. Prisoner—How can that be when his lip is not three inches in length. Mr. Wakefield—The cut extended from the lip into the • cheek, but had not penetrated into the mouth. I saw Morris in bed, and, from what I could ascertain, he had lost nearly a pint of blood. He was very faint and low from loss ,of blood. The wound on the right side of the cheek, by the nose, is about an inch in length. I examined the left side, and found a wound extending from the lobe of the left ear to the angle of the jaw, a distance of ruther more than an inch and a half. Both wounds might have been inflicted with the knife produced. It was fortunate it did not extend lower, or it would have gone near the jugular vein, and been attended with very serious consequences. I did. not consider it safe to send Morris home. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 4, 1858. to fall a victim to the arts of adventurers to whom honour is unknown. MUTINY. (From the Morning Post) We are not called upon to determine the motives that induced the Emperor of the French to confer a free and unasked pardon upon Comte de Monta lembert, but we may be allowed to express our ex treme satisfaction- with that act of clemency, and to express a hope that it May have the effect of proving that in the course his Majesty has pursued he has been guided solely by a deep impression of what was necessary to the tranquillity of France. He vindicated the law because it had been violated; he pardoned the offender because, having no vin dictive feeling towards him, he considered the fact of a conviction sufficient. PROBABLE CAUSE OF THE INDIAN (From the Daily News.) We published yesterday a very remarkable com munication from a native gentleman residing in Central India. The writer is a person of very con siderable ability and experience, intimately ac quainted with the working of the British adminis tration in India, and thoroughly versed in the sen timents with which that administration is regarded by his countrymen. The Queen does not possess among her subjects in Hindostan a more loyal or devoted adherent. In the worst days of 1857 his - firmness and sagacity were of essential service in retaining an important province in its allegiance. and he is at the present time employed in a re sponsible situation under the 'British Government. The opinions of such a man as to the causes of the great insurrection, and the general unpopularity of the British Government must be well deserving of respectful attention. Even where his views may not command unqualified assent, they are calculated to supply material for anxious reflection. The first cause assigned by this well-informed writer for the dislike entertained for our dominion is one which more, especially affects the highest classes of our Indian subjects ; it is the system we have•pursued in usurping native principalities, and arbitrarily seizing the personal property belonging to - the families of former native rulers. This part of the case is stated in language whose guarded moderation produces - an effect more powerful "than the most laboured invective :- 7 -" After the establish ment of the British suprefaaey many large and small estates belonging to the nobles and landlords of Hindostan, which had been acknowledged as hereditary property during the rule of both Hindoo and Mussulman dynasties, were attached by the British authorities, and title deeds (sunnuds) re quired for each separate estate, large or small ; up to that period no sovereign or governor had ever attempted such proceedings. And these regulations and theSe proceedings are in active operation still. Even sovereign provinces, who had always lived in friendly alliance, and indeed in perfect submission to the Honourable Company, and the hereditary succession of whose principalities was firmly guaranteed by treaties in which it was said that the sovemignty should descend to their heirs and successors, have not been exempt from the confis-, cation of their rights. From the time that the British Government began to be most firmly es tablished, the process of extinguishing native sovereignties began to be put in force ; and even their accumulated wealth, and their jewels and other property, which ought to have been the in heritance of their widows and children, have in many cases been disposed of by public auction, and the proceeds placed in the Company's treasury." There is too much reason to fear that many of these allegations are substantially well founded. Human nature being what it is, the dominant native classes of India necessarily came to regard a supre macy thus exercised with disguised dislike and rooted suspicion. In the forcible language of the writer Whose views it is our business to illustrate, " all people commenced to have doubts of the jus tice and good intentions of Government ; and more especially men of noble birth and ancient lineage, being completely ruined and degraded, thought that even death was preferable to such a life."

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated front the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of this preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter.'

STAMPED, SD. which have combined to render the British rule unpopular with the natives of- our Great Depend ency—we cannot even dwell on that very important point—the unequal pressure and rigorous enforce ment of the house tax raised for the support of the town and village police. We hasten to that which, though last in the order of remuneration, is not, it may be feared, least in the order of causation—the harsh and insolent manners of the English officers, civil- and military, towards their subordinates and the natives generally. On this point the native gentleman shall speak for himself : there is a deep meaning in the temperate reticence of his lan guage : his statement is evidence at first hand —the result of the life-loner experience of a just and discerning man :—" The great majority of English officers, both civil and military, are guilty of using bad language to their subordinates, dependents, servants, to the Sepoysi . and to the people of the country in general. In former days, three out of four English officers who were in any place of authority were experienced, well acquainted with the language and customs of the country, and had some knowledge of the world; and, in parti cular, had seen much of India in their service and travels ; only one quarter of the English gentlemen were young and learning their duties. At present the state of things is very different ; but I shall say no more on this point." It is not necessary : that calm and measured statement comprises in its few quiet words the denunciation of one of the worst features of our national character, developed under the condition of absolute rule, and fearfully - voted by the evil passions necessarily eitgoiaetpa by the horrors•of an internecine strife. Unless this shameful evil is put down, English- rule must always be hated, and India always unsafe. Such is the substance of this native gentleman's views as to the principal causes that have co•ope ra.ted to alienate the native mind of India from British rule. They are well worthy of the atten tive consideration of our statesmen. .They may not contain the whole truth, but they contain a "great deal of it." MR. BRIGHT'S REPLY TO THE GLAS GO IV .REQUISITION. The following letter from Mr. Bright has been received by Mr. Walter Buchanan, M.P.:— ".Rochdale, Dec. 1, 1858. " Dear Mr. Buchanan,—l have received the re guisition, signed by yourself and by so many, other influential citizens of Glasgow, inviting me to attend a public meeting in your city on the subject of Parliamentary Reform. ." If I consulted only my own feelings, and the interest I have in the great question now before the country, I should at once accept the invitation which you and your fellow subscribers to the requi sition have done me the honour to forward to me. I am compelled, however, not to forget that I have but recently so far recovered my health as to enable me to speak in public, and that even now, I may run great risk of a relapse if I engage in too much labour, of this kind. _ _ " Thave to attend a great meeting in Manchester in the course of "next week, and my friends in Edinburgh expect to see me in the succeeding week. If I come to Glasgow, you must not fix an earlier day than the 21st, and I should feel much obliged if you would allow the Manchester meeting at least to pass over before I engage to come. To show you that I am not needlessly hesitating as to your meeting, I may say that, , after the meeting in Edinburgh and Glasgow, it is not my intention to speak at more than one other meeting before the meeting of Parliament, unless I except one which may possibly be held in the town in which I live. " I am sorry to leave the matter at all unsettled, but, under the circumstances, I think you will ex cuse me. "With many thanks to yourself, [and all who have signed the requisition, I am, very sincerely, yours JOHN BRIGHT. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
