THORLEYS 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 subiect 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." lie 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, (ttc., 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.

Sir,—l ar tt instructed by the directors to forward for publication the annexed report from Mr. Var ley, the electrician to the Electric and International Telegraph Co mpany. He is one of the gentlemen who has been consulted by the Board in reference to the present t state of the Atlantic Cable. Yours truly, IGEORGE SAWARD, Secretary. Atlantic Telegraph Company, 22, Old Broitd-street, Sept. 21. London, Sept. 18. REPORT ON TIM STATE OF THE ATLANTIC TELE GRAFI! CABLE. I arrived at Valentia on the evening of the sth inst., when I found that no words had for many days been received through the cable from New foundland. On she 6th, 7th, Bth, 9th, and 10th I tested. the cable at intervals in four different ways, to ascer tain its condition. The following are the results :- 1. There is a faultof great magnitude at a distance of between 245 and 300 statute miles from Valontia, but the locality cannot be more accurately ascer tained until a portion of the cable, 20 or 30 miles in length, has been tested against my standard of re sistance, and until the log has been consulted to ascertain the amount of slack paid out. I would suggest - that the piece of cable at Greenwich be carefully measured and tested against my standard, in order to obtain the most correct estimate of the distance of the fault. Assuming, however, that it is 270 miles, and allowing 22 per cent. for slack, it is possible that the chief defect is in shallow water —4lO fathoms. • . 2. The copper wire at the faulty place above alluded to does not touch the iron covering of the cable, as is proved by its forming a voltaic element, which gives rise to a continuous positive current from the copper wireNarying very little in tension. 3. The - nsiflation of the wire between Valentia and the fault is p er fect, or at least contains no de fect of sufficient importance to be perceptible, or to materially influence the working were the cable otherwise perfect. 4.Th signals, o r re versals, are still r ec eived from Newf oun dl and, but copperhas not wi re parted. is c continuous, inu ous the cab e l eFaint, and conse quen tl y the power used will shortly eat away the exposed copper wire in the faulty place by electrolytic de composition. The actual resistance of the fault appears to be at least equal to 10 miles of the cable, but is most probably greater. Taking it at its lowest resistance, viz., 10 miles, and assuming that Newfoundland is only using 180 cells of Daniells' battery, the strongest current re ceived thence during my stay was only 1-24th part of the force that it should be were there but this one fault. When it is, however, borne in mind that on the other side they are probably using more power, and also that the defect first alluded to pro bably offers more resistahce than that assumed, viz. 10 miles, it is evident that there is another and more distant fault, the approximate locality of which I could ' not preteud to estimate at this end without being able to speak to Newfoundland. From authentic data shoWn to me at Valentia I am of opinion that there was a fault on board the Agamemnon, before the cable was submerged, at a distance of about 560 miles from one end and 640 from the other. The following are the data in question, but on what occasion they were obtained I am unable to state. They were, however, probably taken when the ships were at Queenstown:— . TESTING OF COILS ON BOARD TILE AGAMEMNON, CON- SISTING OF ABOUT 1,200 STATUTE MILES OF CABLE. 1. When the upper end was disconnected the cur- rent entering the cable from a battery was 8.5 parts. 2. When upper end was put to earth current entering the cable was 3. Current going out of upper end of cable to the earth 5 ?, 4. When the lower end was disconnected the current entering the cable w as ... 8.5 ~ 5. 'When lower end to earth 10.5 „ 6. Current going out of upper end of cable to earth 4.5 „ showing that if there were a fault it was nearer to upper end, but not far from the middle of the coil. When 200 miles had been removed from one end of the coil (but from which end I am not at present aware), leaving 1,000 miles, the amounts were— 1. 2. 10.25 ~ 5, 3. indicating that there was a fault, by rough calcula tion, at about 560 miles from one end, and 440 from the 'other, With the 200 miles of cable amounts were 1. 2. 3. TEST' OF THE ENTIRE CABLE ON BOARD THE AG A. MEMNON AND NIAGAR.V—TIZ., 2,500 MILES. Battery at Agamemnon end. 1. Current entering the cable, the Niagara end being disconnected .. 2. Niagara end to earth - 2 3. Current flowing out at Niagara end to earth 15i 7 „ Battery at Niagara End. 4. Current, entering cable, Agamemnon end being disconnected 5. Agamemnon end to earth 6. Current flowing out at Agamemnon end to 37 ~ earth 14 „ indicating considerable leakag e on board the Aga memnon. , lam also informed that the currents through the cable, even immediately after it was submerged, were so weak that relays were useless, and that not one perfect message was recorded by them, every thing that was received being read from the deflec tions of a galvanometer. By comparing the above data with those of the new cable now making by Messrs. Glasse and Elliott for the Electric and International Telegraph Company, the amount of current which entered the 1,000 miles of cable when disconnected at one end should not have exceeded 2 or 2.5 parts instead of 7.5 and 8.5 parts. therefore, is The inference by rough calculation, that there was a fault offering a resist anc e equa l to 1,000 or 1,200 miles of cable situated at a distance about 560 miles from one end of the 1,200 m il e co il on board the Agamemnon. This, however, cannot be the fault first alluded to, situate at about 270 miles from Valentia, but may have been the one which caused such alarm Ireland an d 500 miles from when the ships were when the signals ceased altogether and never cer tainly recovered. It is not at all improbable that the powerful cur rents from the large induction coils have impaired the insulation, and that had more moderate power been used the cable would still have been capable of transmitting mess ages. To satisfy myself on this point, I attached to the cable a piece of gutta percha•covered wire, having first made a slight incision in the gutta, percha to let the water reach the wire ; the wire was then bent so as to close up the defect. The defective wire was then placed in a jug of sea-water and the lat ter connected with the " earth." After a f ew _ . signals had been sent from the induction coils into the cable, and, consequently, into the test wire, the electricity burnt through the incision, rapidly burning a hole nearly one-tenth of an inch in diameter. When the full force of the coils was brought to bear on tke test wire by removing them from the cable and allowing the electricity only one chan- nel—viz., that of the test wire, the discharges, as might be expected, burnt a hole in the gutta percha under the water, half an inch in length, and the burnt gutta percha came `floating up to the surface. The foregoing expeiiments prove that when here are imperfections in the insulating covering noon." shore. The size of the present conducting strand is too small to have worked satisfactorily even had the insulation been sound. With a strand of larger dimensions less intense currents would be required, and both speed and certainty increased. It is not, however, altogether impossible that some intelligible signals may yet be received through the cable, as stated in my previous com munication. C. F. VARLET, Electrician of the Electric and Internationa -- Telegraph Company. To the Chairmariand Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company. TO THE SHAREHOLDERS IN TIIF. ITI.ANTIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. The Board of Directors think it the most judicious course to communicate to the shareholders the following in refutation of the assertions ad vanced by Mr. Whitehouse in his letters of the 6th and 15th respectively, he having expressly desired to appeal to the shareholders to judge of the merits of his complaints. Mr. Whitehouse's state ments would have received earlier notice had it not been necessary to make investigations on the subject at Valentia and in London. It must be understood that the present directors arc in no way responsible for the introduction of Mr. Whitehouse into the electrical concerns of this company, by which introduction he has derived an absolute bonus of £12,000 in free shares and a hand;ome salary-. On the election of the present board they found him installed as the adviser of the company, and believing from the representation made to them by his associates that he was the proper person for that position, they agreed to the salary proposed for him, and confirmed his appointment to the charge of the electrical department, and to attend to the construction of apparatus for working the Atlantic cable, the arrangement being that such engagement should cease upon the cable being successfully laid. The folloWing are the reasons which led the board to the decision complained of by Mr. White house. Although engaged as above, and paid to conduct the company's electrical operations, Mr. White house expressed himself prevented by " indisposi tion" from attending to by far the most important of his duties—that of accompanying the various expeditions, and ascertaining day by day the elec trical condition of the cable when paid out. The charge of his department was on the last two occasions, as is well known, most kindly undertaken by Professor Thomson, who with a courage and de termination which did him great honour, unflinch ingly, and, as Mr. Whitehouse may well say, " most handsomely," took charge of the electrical arrange ments on board the Agamemnon during all the pri vations incident to her two stormy expeditions, in order to relieve the paid electrician of the company, who Was unfortunately prevented this year, as he was also in August, 1857, from accompanying the squadron on, the plea referred to. On the arrival of the Agamemnot on the sth of August at Valentia, after successfully laying the cable, summonses were at once sent out for a full meeting of the board to be held on the 9th, for the purpose of receiving the reports of the scientific officers, and for the discussion o f important matters involved in the success of the enterprise. A telegram wets subsequently sent to Mr. White house, at Valentia, requesting him to report fully to the board on all points requiring attention. The board. met on the 9th, again onthe 10th, and again on the 11th, but no report whatever was re ceived froM Mr. Whitehouse, nor any other com munication . except some telegrams informing the directors that signals were highly satisfactory, that the adjustment of instruments - was - progressing, and that it was necessary (a fact to which the directors were fully alive) that the shore ends of the cable should be laid as soon as possible. • • During all the time intervening between the lay ing of the cable and the 10th, the general body of directors, though deliberating in London, were most effectually represented at Valentia, by their col league Professor Thomson. Professor Thomson left Valcntia on the 10th to visit his family in Glasgow; prior to his doing so Mr. Whitehouse expressed an opinion to him that a defect existed in the cable in the harbour. Professor Thomson, who knew intimately the state of all the cable as it emerged from the *As in the Agamemnon, advised and strongly urged upon Mr. Whitehouse that this was not the case, and pointed to some considerable distance as the place where the fault would be discovered. He had not, however, left Valentia much more than 48 hours before his advice and the facts he had communicated were altogether disregarded, and measures were taken by Mr. Whitehouse for under running the cable from the shore to Dowlas Head, without any communication with, or authority from the directors. The board in London, during all this time, and up to the morning of the 14th, were kept in ignorance of Mr. Whitehouse's acts or opinions as to any faults in the cable, and received no written communication from him on the subject until the 19th, and then only in reply to repeated telegrams and a letter of remonstrance as to his inexplicable ptoceedings. Up to the 14th the telegrams from Mr. White house had all given satisfactory assurances, though it did appear to the directors, until the 13th, that there was some mechanical difficulty and some un necessary delay, in the adjustment of the instru' ments. On the 13th, however, at mid-day, the board received the following telegram from Mr. Whitehouse, from which they were led to hope that all difficulty was at an end : " Whitehouse to the Directors. " The receipt of a message of 26 words, yesterday evenin g , from Laws, relative to signals and instru ments,has satisfied me as to the cause of delay in the full and free interchange of messages. He now reads and acknowledges our words accurately. We can receive, at very good speed, from him, while he can as yet only receive from us slowly. I hope to be able to transmit the Queen's message this after- This message gave great encouragement, and was considered to be so highly satisfactory that the directors published it; little thinking that at the very time they received it Mr. Whitehouse was secretly telegraphing to Mr. CanninB whose engage ment with the company had ceased when the cable was laid, stating that there was a fault in the cable, and asking him to csmc and underrun it. Mr. Canning proceeded at once to Valentia at Mr. Whitehouse's bidding ; but the directors having heard by mere accident that the cable was about to be raised, telegraphed to Mr. Whitehouse to ab stain from any operation of the kind until they could ascertain the grounds upon which he had thought it right to interfere with the duties of the engineering staff of the company without either. consulting or asking the permission of the directors. with whom he could have communicated by tele graph, and whose reply he could have received iu less than two hours. After this, and not sooner, the board began to receive telegrams from Mr. Whitehouse, stating (incorrectly) that the cable had received serious injury in the harbour, and that it showed " dead earth" close at home, whereas the entry made in his own log on the 18th, when the cable was cut, and tested (after permission had been given to complete the underrunning, inconsequence of the cable having been buoyed at Dowlas Head, without authority, and so left), shows that there was no loss of insulation between that point and the office which could at all explain any imagin able difficulty of work. That there was no need for thc.. precipitation showed by Mr. Whitehouse in interfering with the cable is evident from the daily records kept at Va lentia, which show that several long messages were read and repeated with perfect accuracy by Professor Thomson's apparatus, during the time that the underrunning of the cable was in progress until it was cut by order of Mr. Whitehouse, the only result being that of serious and unnecessary injury to the company's property. Professor Thomson having returned to Valentia on the 21st, made a careful test of the cable, which showed it to be in worse condition than before Mr. Whitehouse had underrun it. The facts of the case, which Mr. Whitehouse seems to have been incapable of discovering, though fully pointed out to him by Professor Thomson, were that what is technically known as a " vari able defect" existed in the cable, which at certain hours of the day caused enfeeblement of the trans- mitted current ; while the testing by the regular methods known to practical telegraphists gave in dications of such a character as should have shown to Mr. Whitehouse, as they did to Professor Thom son, that the fault to which these obstructions were due was at some considerable distance from the But it must not be supposed that Professor Thom- son's opinion alone has been allowed to weigh against that of Mr. Whitehouse in this important question. The directors have called to their aid several other gentlemen, all of whom have been for many years practically connected with the working of telegraphs, and these gentlemen, after having severally made their tests, concurred with Pro fessor Thomson in stating that the variable fault referred to was the cause of the obstruction, and that it exists at a distance of from 240 to 300 miles from Valentia. Some days previous to the 13th of August the directors, feeling convinced that Mr. Whitehouse was embarrassed by some practical difficulties in the nature or adjustment of his instruments, towards the solving of which the assistance of some person experienced in the use of recording apparatus and the testing of submarine cables would be valuable, desired that Mr. Whitehouse and the company should have the advantage of the aid in this respect of Mr. France, of the Submarine and Mediterranean Companies (a practical telegraphist of very long experience in the testing and working of submarine cables), in the hope that th ere by th e li ne wou ld th e sooner be available for public traffic. After considerable difficuty they obtained Mr. France's services, and on the 13th of August he left for Valentia, the directors having previously advised Mr. Whitehouse that he was coming. Mr. France bore a letter of introduction to Mr. Whitehouse, signed by the chairman, at the request of the board, directing him to accept his aid, but, on his arrival at Valentia, he was prohibited by Mr. Whitehouse from entering the company's pre mises, and on the same day th e f o ll ow i ng t e l egram was addressed by Mr. Whitehouse to the Secretary of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, through the "wires of the British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company : _ " Whitehouse to Sward. _ "I find that we shall require immediately several more instrument clerks. M r . France has arrived Opportunely in this respect. With your sanction I shall be glad to engage him in this capacity-. I cannot recognise him in any other. The adjust ment of receiving instruments at Newfoundland is now perfect by the detailed account from Laws, and at this end no such difficulty has ever existed. The insulation of the cable at this end is now the only source of delay." This message, proposing to employ Mr. France in the most subordinate capacity, was felt by the directors to be a gross insult to themselves and Mr. France. A meeting of directors was therefore summoned for the 17th of. August, at.which, after perusal and consideration of all the documents relating to the circumstances mentioned, a resolution was passed, intimating that as Mr. Whitehouse's engagement as a paid officer ceased on the successful laying of the cable, the directors desired to terminate his further connection with the company in that capacity. Mr. li T hitehouse was summoned to town to attend the managing committee on the 20th, on which oc casion two members, and not one director only, as stated by Mr. Whit e house, were present. He was questioned by the vice-chairman in the most gentle manner as t o his reasons for acting as he had done, but instead of explanation or apology, he only dealt in a sweeping abuse of the board and their proceedings, and distinctly intimated that on any future occasion he should act in precisely a similar manner ; the committee, therefore, had no alternative but to hand him a resolution passed by the board on the 17th. As regards the statement contained in Mr. Whitehouse's letter of the 6th, that the President's reply to' her Majesty was received at Valentia and recorded under his own patent, which he reiterates with some modification in his letter of the 15th, the following are the facts :—There is no evidence at present as to the form of battery power used in transmitting the current from America, but at Va lentia not a word could be recorded through the cable by means of Mr. Whitehouse's apparatus at the time to which he alludes; and the directors have the evidence of the person there on duty, and by whom it was worked off, that as the words com- ' posing that message came through the cable they were read off by means of the instrument invented by Professor Thomson. It was after those words had passed through the cable, and after they had been -so read from Pro fessor Thomson's galvanometer, that they were recorded by the clerk from one end of the room to the other, only on an electro-chemical marking ap paratus. This process was continually carried on with regard to other messages, and s lips from the l oca l recording being sent up to London without explanation, the directors were led to infer that the work had been performed by Mr. Whitehouse's instrument, which was not the case. Indeed, notwithstanding an expenditure of some £13,000 in the department under Mr. Whitehouse's charge, the directors andshareholders have obtained no results in any way commensurate to those con fidently promised by him. It appears from the evidence of those engaged on the spot that from the hour when the cable was laid until the present it has not been possible for the currents from Newfoandland, when communi cated direct to his apparatus, to work off unaided a single complete message, and it has been necessary, in consequence, to apply instead the apparatus of Professor Thomson, and these facts, in conjunction with the other matters of which they have had to complain, appeared, and do appear to them, to fully justify the course they have adopted. Before concluding, it is the desire of the directors to communicate their views, so far as the present position of things enables them to judge, as to the state of the company's property. That a serious fault exists in the cable at some point between 200 and 300 miles from Valentia cannot be doubted ; but as Mr. Whitehouse had established no means of conceited action between the Valentia and Newfoundland stations in case of difficulty, it is not altogether possible to say whether the entire embarrassment arises from the fault referred to. They have therefore sent with full instructions one of the staff, and they are encouraged to hope that some communication may possibly yet be esta blished through the cable for a time, even in its present state, and that so soon as the weather and other circumstances are such as to encourage the making an attempt with some chance of success to raise and repair the injured part, it is not beyond probability that the existing cable might be ren dered permanently useful. It was hoped that by this time the undertaking would be in process of earning a dividend, by which its rank and position might be consolidated. This legitimate result has been postponed by - adverse circumstances, but the directors, in spite of this piece of evil fortune ' ca nnot remember other wise than with an honourable feeling of pride and satisfaction that the primary and ruling motive which actuated them and their brother shareholders in entering upon the first epoch of this great work was not altogether of a sordid or mercenary cha racter and that one at least of the great objects of the shareholders has been fully successful. The means then supplied have proved that it is perfectly possible to communicate with America. By a careful adaptation of appliances available it would even seem comparatively easy to do so. The very first business message transmitted (that relating to the collision of the Europa) was one which was not only, in a pecuniary point, of great commercial consequence, but the news of safety which it conveyed to many an anxious heart must have caused the advent of the Atlantic wire to be hailed with fervent blessing. Other messages of almost equal import have passed to the other side, and the result has been the establishment of one of those undying facts in the world's history which, though chronicled with wonder at the present hour, will be the ordinary and expecte' event of future generations.—By order and on behalf of the Board of Directors, GEo. SAWARD, Secretary. A new undertaking, to be called the National Bank of Australasia, has lately been introduced at Mel bourne, the proposed capital being a million in 200,000 shares of £.5 each. Of these, it is stated, 180,000 (repre senting £900,000) have been taken up in the colony, and the remaining 20,000 (representing £100,000) are now offered for allotment in London. MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—The market is very firm again to-day, with prices rather higher . than on last Tuesday. B u y ers on l y supply their immedt tte and pressing wants, and the busi ness done is consequently curtailed. On the other hand, spinners are quite at ease as to selling because of the con tracts already made. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Far below the eruptions, boils, sores, and other excrescences that disfigure the surface of the body, lies the acrid poison which sustains and aggravates them. This virus, which usually lurks in the large vessels, springing from the great internal organs, can only be followed to its hidden recesses by a preparation like Holloway's Ointment, of which the penetrating properties are irresistible. Having reached the poison, its chemical action immediately destroys or neutral ises it: It acts with equal speed and safety, and its cures are radical. The Pills, from their purifying effect upon the blood, are an admirable auxiliary to the Ointment, and as they are composed entirely of vegetable extracts, they are as *de as they are eilleaciouse (1' •om The moi was in the _ deaths ranged ending last Sal wept. 18) the deaths declined to 1,046, of which 555 were deaths of males and 491 • those of females. In the ten years 1848-57 the -*age number of deaths in the weeks correspond ing with last week . was 1,351; but as the deaths now returned occurred in an increased popula tion the average, to admit of comparison, should be raised proportionally to the increase, a correction which will make it 1,486. The AO - ye average, however, is derived in part from the extraordinary mortality of two cholera epidemics ; and by ex cluding such exceptional periods from the compari son it will be found that the present mortality differs not widely From the average in the middle of September. If the deaths of last week had been according to the rate which prevails in the healthiest districts of England they would have been 799. Th e excess above this number, which the return shows, is 247, and forms what may be called the " unnatural" part of the mortality. Diarrhoea shows a further decrease. The deaths from this complaint in the last four weeks have been successively 146, 120, 69, and 53. But scarla tina is increasingly fatal, and the deaths from it last week were 178, of which 30 occurred in the east and 44 in the south districts. Four fatal cases of this disease are recorded in each of the following sub-districts :—Christchurch (Marylebone) Isling ton East, St. George (Bloomsbury), the Green (Beth nal-green), Poplar, Trinity (Newington), and Clap ham; and sin St. Peter (Walworth). Three children in one family d ied on the 12th and 13th inst. of scarla tina, at 19, Theobald-street, in the sub-district of Trinity, Newington. Four deaths are referred to cholera, all of them, with one exception, amongst infants. Eight infants and one adult died from syphilitic diseases. Only two persons, both of whom were widows, attained the age of 90 years. Last week the births of 829 boys and 812 girls, in all 1,641 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1848-57, the average number cArrected for increase of population, was 1472'. At the Royal Observatary, Greehwie,h, the mean height of the barometer in the week Was 29.917 in. On three days the mean reading. was above 30 in. The highest barometrical readino. was 30.06 in. The mean temp era t ure o f the week was 63.4 deg., which is 6.6 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years, as determined by Mr. Glaisher. The mean daily temperature was above the average throughout the week, and the excess on the first three days was 8 deg. The thermometers in the sun and the shade attained their highest points on Sunday, the 12th inst., which were respectively 105 deg. and 83.8 deg. ; the lowest point was attained on the same day, and was 48.7 deg.; the entire range of the day and the week was therefore 35.1 deg.
