It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled ~.anY a ea to explain how this has been brought about. Y q.„„‘ we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our h ' a rer will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating ,!'. lO, had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried p., ^ 'llds of things to get the animal into condition, but In vain. .2_Le o then bought some of Thorley's food; and ho says the effect was ~.._rlderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, a:ed In the course of a idly 7 , ka had gained no less than Id stones. Again we find at the late . a,,ricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, ke., the animals which ied off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Tliorles's _nod for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced !.o . the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in trinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. 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. TO THE NERVOUS AND DEBILIT ATE D . -111..

BY SAMUEL LI'MERT, 37, BEDFORD SQUARE. LONDON, _ _ _ Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Ste., kc. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, 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 condition, ai.d who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there arc principles of personal management which cannot be violated witheut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sacceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those pe nalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may tie avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infir mity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

INAUGURATION OP THE Ii.ROTRERTON METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT AMEN .D M.EIV T. 11TEMORIAL. a g it a e r r e a t n lT l c a hief pro visi 7end the 11I n e s t o f p t o h l e i s n L lV OCa ea l nd M i a m o- - ageraent Act (1855), and to e x t en d t h e powers of the Metro politan Board of Works for the p ur ifi cat i on of the Thames po T rt h a e ut fo h l e lo t w to in and the main drainage of the metropolis :- 1. The Metropolitan Board shall cause to be commenced as soon as may be Ar the passing of this act, and to be carried on and completed with all convenient speed, accord ing to such plan as to them may seem proper, the necessary sewers and works fur the improvement of the main draina ge of the metropolis, and for preventing, as far as may be prac ticable, the sewage of the metropolis from passing into the river Thames within the metropolis. The Metropolitan Board of Works for the purposes of this act may construct any work through, along, over, or under the bed and soil and banks and shores of the river MANCHESTER, THIIIISDAY. This morning, at 11 o'clock, the statue to the memory of the late Mr. J. Brotherton, M.P., was publicly 'inaugurated in the Peel-park, Salford, in the presence of the corpora tions of Manchester and Salford, and a large number of spectators, among whom were many ladies. The company assembled in the reading-room of the Museum, and the Lord Bishop of Manchester there de livered the inaugural address; but owing to the situation in which the reporters were placed by the wisdom of the Salford Corporation, his lordship was by them only very imperfectly heard. After the Mayor of SALFORD (Mr. E. R. Langworthy), who presided, had briefly addressed the audience as to the excellent worth and character of the late member for Sal ford. -..-.. ----- Thames, ranking compensation to all persons having any interest in any wharves, jetties, or other property damaged by such works, a s p rov id e d by the said act of the 18th and 19th years of her Majesty in respect of property injured uncler the powers of such act. The Bishop of MANCHESTER spoke in substance as fol lows, as near as our reporter could gather. Hite had trusted to his own feelings in the matter he would rather not have made a speech on the present occasion, but would simply have uncovered the statue and there addressed a few words to those assembled. They were met in that room to inau gurate the statue of a man who had done much good through life both in his private and public capacity. He believed Mr. Brotherton's life throughout was unosten tatious, and that his sole aim was to benefit others. There were several points in Mr. Brotherton's character which were prominent above all others, and on them for a moment he might dwell. He was one of and among the operative dassee, and appeared to have devoted himself throughout his career to their cause. He had retired, it ap peared, from the business of life just at a period when men are the most anxious for gain—and solely for the cause of Medlars* *hies he - belonged. He devoted himself unre mittingly to his duties ever. Most wisely and justly had the electors of Salford sent him to represent them in Parlia ment. A contest, in the first instance, took place, but after wards gave way when all went well. No one would say the last 40 years had not been remarkable for the changes that had taken place not only in our legislative, but in our municipal institutions, our poor laws, and in an in creased education among the people ; and to these Mr. Brotherton had lent his aid and assistance. He (the Bishop) had a little looked over the circumstances of Mr. Brother ton's Parliamentary career, and it was almost all that could be wished for. He was modestly unobtrusive, and mildly took part in every measure that was for the public good. He pos sessed an eloquence of the most persuasive kind, for it was the deep study of conviction and thorough honesty. His talents were rare. Great as were the public services rendered by Mr. Brotberton, and of which be bad spoken, there were greater still which he could mention. Many there were only little aware of the nature of private Acts of Parliament, but he could tell them that they were such that no department required greater experience, sounder judgment, wisdom, more bold ness, and at the same time greater scrupulosity. In this department Mr. Brotherton was unrivalled. There was no other person within the walls of the House of Commons to whose voice is such matters the house deferred. After touching upon the religious opinions of Mr. Brotherten, in which his lordship said he did not entirely concur, and after reading a paragraph from one of his addresses to the electors of Salford, and some further remarks on the career of the late lamented member in connection with the borough and as a public man, he proceeded to congra tulate he committee on what they had done. They had done wisely in placing the statue where it was : there it would be seen near to the place of which he was primarily the originator. I' was not in the Town-hall, to be seen by a few ; it was not in a thoroughfare, where relple would forget it; but it was there in Peel-park, and would re main a monument to the memory and fame of Joseph Brotberton for ever. After some further observations his lordship concluded amid cheers. On leaving the reading-room and proceeding to the statue it was uncovered and presented by Sir J. Potter, M.P., to the ilayor of Salford, who said, he had much pleasure in accepting it. Sir JOHN POTTER, M.P., Mr. THORNELY, M.P., Wolverhampton, and Mr. JAMES BROTHERTON then briefly addressed the audience; after which the proceedings terminated. 111. The powers of taking land given by the said act of the 18th and 19th years of her Majesty, and all other powers in such act and this act in relation to sewerage works, shall extend and be applicable as well to works for deodorising sewage as to all other works under this act, either within or beyond the limits of the metropolis, and all such works shall be deemed works for the purpose of the sewerage or drainage of the metropolis. IV. The Metropolitan Board of Works may, with the consent of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, from time to time after the passing of this act, but not later than the 31st day of December, 1864, borrow on such bonds, debentures, or other securities, and at such rate of interest and upon such terms as to the time of repayment and other wise as such commissioners may approve, any sum or sums of money not saceeding in the whole the sum of £3,000,000 for the purpose of this act. IX. it shall be lawful for the Commissioners of her Ma jesty's Treasury from time to time to appoint an engineer or engineers to inspect the works to be constructed under this act, and to report to such commissioners in relation to the expenditure thereon ; and such engineer or engineers shalt have full power and authority at all reasonable times to enter upon such works, and survey and inspect the same, and to inspect the accounts of the said Metropolitan Board in relation thereto, for the purpose of reporting as aforesaid. X. The Metropolitan Board of Works shall during forty years from the time of the passing of this act assess and cause to be raised in each year, upon the City of Lyndon and other parts of the metropolis, for the purposes of the act, such sums as in their judgment will be equivalent to a rate of 3d. in the pound upon the annual value of the property in the said City and other parts respectively, estimated according to the estimate or basis on which the county rate is assessed, or according to a like estimate ' • and the sums to be so assessed in each year may be assessed at one time or at several times, as the said board may think fit. XI. In the assessments of the said Metropolitan Board under this act, and in their precepts and in the orders of vestries and district boards to be made in respect of such assessments, such sums shall be distinguished as being assessed fur "the Metro polis main drainage rate," and all such sums assessed upon the City of London shall be reimbursed to Ilia Chamberlain of the said City by means of a separate tate to be called " the metropolis main drainage rate," to be levied under the di rection of the Commissioners of Sewers of the said City, in like manner and subject to the like provisions as any rate which such commissioners are authorised to direct to be made under any such act relating to the sewerage of the said City, and all such sums assessed on other parts of the metropolis shall be levied by means of a separate rate to be called "the metropolis main drainage rate," in like inannr . , r and subject to the like provisions as the sewers rate tr, be made under the said act of the 18th and 19th years o f h er Majesty; and the assessments of the said Met - .opolitan Board under this act shall include the places mentioned in schedule (C) to the said Get of the 18th and, 19th years of her Majesty, and the sums to be assessed thereon shall be raised by means of rates to be made ani:t levied as therein provided in respect of the raising of waneys assessed by the said board. l On Wedne!day aft ernoon an i mportant meeting of ship. onet s, and seamen was held blut'eshilneaststohfethBemeeting, r eat tine's Dock Hotel, in fu r th erance o f the Mercantile Marine Service Associatioe ; M r . S tewart in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening h said that he tcek the warmest possible interest in the welfare of the association, calculated as it was to promote the welfare of all persons engaged in the mercantile marine of England. Had such an association existed in former times the Mercantile Marine Act would not now be upon the statute-book. If a law so nilicting the mercantile marine were now to be proposed, it would be gone through and thoroughly sifted by the committee of the association, and would be so improved that instead of proving preju dicial to any particular interest of the community, it would, on their representations, be so modifi e d as to advance the general prosperity of the country. Ile thoroughly objected to Government interference in private matters, and he die not sec what right the Admi nistration of the country bad to step in between him and the men whom he wished to employ in the management of his ships any more than they had to dictate to the owner of a cotton mill what hands be should engage in his business. (Hear, hear.) The system of fees for the examination of cap . aies was highly objectionable ' but still more objection able was the practice of exacting fees from the poor seamen both upon shipping themselves and upon their being paid off. These were transactions which should be entirely be tween the men and their employers, and Government inter ference was altogether uncalled for. There were at present in the mercantile marine of this country commanders who had been in every part of the world—men of great nautical experience, and who had neveryet subjected the underwriters to the least loss. Yet under the present iniquitous systeee not one of these men could take charge of a vessel engreeed in the transport service without submitting to an exareena tien by officers appointed by the Board of Trade ti and, what was still worse, they had not only to pay for being allowed to be examined, but had also to bear the Eurden of a second charge on taking out their certificate of compe tence. It might be all very well to impose the ordeal of an examination upon young lads fresh from school, hut to do so in the case of men of 55 or GO years of age, who had grown old at sea, was, to say the least of it, preposteroret and unjust. (Hear, hear.) If there was no other obje, e , tion to such a system it was sufficient that it was cony l i e '. sory. And the grievance of which the mercantile re die i ee bad to complain was that whenever an accident toole place at sea the officer in command of the vessel injury,) or lost had to render an account of his conduct to the. "Joard of Trade. To that he by no means objected, belt he did claim for the captains in charge of the mermiems shipping of Great Britain that they should have a flex; trial before a competent tribunal. This was a state of things which required an effectual remedy ; but that reeeeee. could only be secured by their own united action; and eheretere it was with pleasure he saw such men as Richer-et cireen joining them in the objects which they had in view- e l j ec , e w hi c h , w hil e they tended to establish the indepeee'ler i ce of the mercantile marine, added to the respectability Weedl engaged in it from the highest to the lowest, and we Lee calculated to advance the national character abroad, as et too often happened that foreigners took their opinion cf 41 - is country from the con duct of our sailors. If they yee to improve the settees, and imbue them with a feeling e of self-respect, and of their responsibility in upholding f l ee national character, the com merce of the country vi,orld be greatly extended and ad , anced. Capt. TOOK ER, in m'Ar'.ng tke first resolution, to the effect "That the meeti sag, approve of the course pursued by the council since the ferenatien of the association, and espe cially of its advocacy. .at its public meetings of questions in the interests of shieoswners, as well as of masters and mari ners, and consideeee it essential to the permanent usefulness of the associatio4 that it should constitute a hearty union of shipowners awe mariners, whose interests arc the same, and who must preF.per or decay together," said that be had no doubt many eetli cu lti es wou ld - be thrown in their way in the path of usefulness which they had sketched out for them selves, ' , net they should, by presenting a united front, ender tear to overcome them. Since the passing of the elerewetile Marine Act upwards of 18,000 certificates of eerapetency had been issued by the Board of Trade, a ad he would venture to say that more ships had of late fears been lost by men in possession of such certificates , than by the men of old service. The association was a step in the right direction, and as such had his cordial support, and he hoped that branch associations wuuld sprieg up in every trading port in the United Kingdom. Capt. Wax. STEPHENS seconded the resolution. Capt. BREAKWOOD inquired if the captains having cer tificates of competency were not more numerous than the long service captains ? The CHAIRMAN replied that be thought the fact lay the other way. Capt. GRIBBLE, in supporting the resolution, said he considered one-half of the young men holding these certifi cates were unworthy of being put in charge of vessels, as in all practical matters they had to rely upon the skill not only of their first and second officers, but even upon that of the common sailors. XII. For the purposes of the assessments under this act, all the parts of the metropolis shall be deemed to be e o and dperson in stiet: n pay n r thei t.r amount equally benefited by the expenditu re un d er this ac t. XV.

The objects of the association having been fully and ela borately explained by Mr. Moonn, the resolution was unanimously agreed to. The thanks of the meeting were then voted to Mr. Wrat ton for the gratuiteus use of the room, and the proceedings terminated in the usual manner. PRESERVATION of LIFE from SHIPWRECK. A meeting of the Royal National Life-boat Institution was held yesterday at its house, John-street, Adelphi—Capt. Lambert Perrott in the chair. We also observed several other members present. Mr. LEwts, the secretary, having read the minutee of the previous meeting, RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. The second-service clasp was voted to Mr. Henry A. Hamilton, of Ballriggan, to whom the silver medal of the institution was presented for previous exertions in saving life from shipwreck, in admiration of hi- gallant conduct in rescuinr, at the immenent risk of his own life, a lady who, with himself and three other persons, had been thrown out of a boat off Kingstown en the 21st ult. when a fishing smack came into coll'sion with the boat. The lady whose life was thus mercifully saved being desirous of recordit•g her gratitude to God, has offered £3OO to the National Life boat Institution to station an additional life-hoat on the Irish coast. The society has already life-boats on that coast at the following places :—Groom: port, rear Belfast, Drog heda, Sherries, Wicklow, Arklow, Cahove, Ardmore, Youghal, Ballycotton, and Westport. There are 23 other dangerous places in Ireland which require life-boats, but to provide which the limited resources of the society are quite inadequate. Last year 173 vessels were wrecked on the Irish coast, accompanied with the usual great loss of life. A reward of £0 10s. was also voted to the crew of the GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. We are authorised to state that the accounts of the Great Western Railway for the half-year to the 30th June, show that a dividend of per cent. per annum could he paid, leaving a small balance over, but the directors will recom mend that no dividend be declared, and that the balance of £37,000 be carried over to the next half-year. of her present Majesty shall be applicable to every rate under this act. XXII. If the whole amount raisable under this act shall have been raised and paid off by means of the rates levied under this act before the expiration of the said period of 40 years, the Metropolitan Board of Works, with the consent of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, shall discon tinue the assessment for the metropolis main drainage rate, and any surplus of the moneys arising from the rates levied under this act which may remain after such payment shall be applicable towards defraying the expensesof the said board. XXVII. The Metropolitan Beard of Works in the mean time, and until the works required by this act fur the puri fication of the river Thames are completed, tray do all such works and apply all such means as they may deem proper for deodorising such sewage or otherwise protecting the public health from any injurious consequences therefrom, and may defray the expenses incurred for this purpose as the expenses incurred by the said board under the said act of the 18th and 19th years of her Majesty arc therein directed to be defrayed. XXIV. The said Metropolitan Board shall cause all works to be executed under this act to be constructed and kept so as not to be a nuisance, and shall, in deodorising any sewage and in disposing of any sewage or refuse from sewers, act in such manner a, not to create a nuisance. XXV. Section 136 of the said act, and so much of section 144 of the said act as provides " that before the Metropo litan Board of Works commence any such works the esti mated expense whereof shall exceed £50,000, the plan of such works, together with an estimate of the cost of carry ing the same into execution, shall be submitted by such board to the Commissioners of far Majesty's Works and Public Buildings, and no such plan shall be carried into effect until the same has been approved by such commis sioners, and no such works shall be commenced in cases where the estimated expense thereof shall exceed the sum of £lOO,OOO, without the previous sanction of Parliament," shall be repealed. XXVI. The time limited by section 135 of the said act of the 18th and 19th years of her Majesty, for the completion of the sewers and works necessary for preventing the sew age of the metropolis from passing into the river Thames in or near the metropolis, shall be extended to the 31st day of December. 1E63. XXVII. No works upon the bcd or shares of the said river Thames below high water mark, which may interfere with the navigation of that river, shall at any time be commencer. or executed under the provisions of this act without the same having been previously approved of by the Lord high Admiral, or the commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral, such approval to be from time to time s p e cified i n wr iting under the hand of the Secretary to the Admiralty. XXVIII. In order to preserve the navigation of the river Thames the plans of any work to be constructed under the authority of this act upon the banks, bet), or shore of the river Thames, which may interfere with the free navigation of the said river, shall be approved by the conservators of the river Thames in writing, signed by their secretary, before such works are commenced, certifying that the works according to such plans will not interfere with the naviga tion of the river Thames. XXIX. Nothing in this act contained shall extend or be construed to extend to prejudice or derogate front the rights of the conservators of the river Thames, cr to prohibit, de feat, alter, or diminish ally power, authority, or jurisdiction which at the tune of passing of this act the said conservators did or might lawfully claim, use, or exercise, so far as such rights, power, authority, or jurisdiction may be exercised for preserving the free navigation of the river Thames. XXX.

Lytham life-boat, which belongs to the institution, for put ting off in her with the view of rescuing the crew of the schooner Mineral, of Barrow, which during a heavy gale of wind was wrecked off Southport on the 25th ult. Fortu nately her crew, who had been all night in the rigging, bad been previettsly rescued by the Southport lite-boat. A reward of £6 was likewise granted to a boat's crew of six men, for putting offand rescuing, at considerable risk ef life, three out of five persons, whose curragh, during squally weather, bad been capsized off the coast of Donegal. The curragh was engaged at the time in taking the men across an arm of the sea, when a sudden squall came on and capsized her. Two of the men were unfortunately drowned before succour could renzh them, but the two others were saved from a similar fate by the promptitude and gallantry of the koat's crew. A reward of £6 10v. was also voted to the crew of the tubular lifeboat of the institution stationed at Rhyl, for putting oil in her with the view.of rendering nssistance to a smack which was observed to have sunk some distance from the station, nod to have her crew of two old men in the rigging. The lifeboat was with much promptitude launched, an d proceeded to the wreck, but before her arrival the so ack's crew had been taken off by another boat. A rewind of £2 was likewise granted to Alexander Flett, a fisherman, in testimony of his gallant conduct in rescuing, at the peril of his own life, a boy , who with his f a t her and another man, had been upset from their fishing - boat during a gale of wind, off Findectity, on the coast of Banff.

Local life-boat commitdees derive considerable advantages by connecting themselves with the national institution, inasmuch as the efficiency of each life•boat station is secural, and a uniform system of management established. Acknowledgments were read from the Duke of Malakoff and other foreign Ministers for drawings which the institu tion had presented throu i _h them to their respective countries of the life-boat and transporting carriages now successfully used by the society on the coast of the United Kingdom.

The de signer and inspector of its life-boats had acme time since visited both societies, which had given them a hearty recep tion, and which bad decided that some of their life-boats should forthwith be altered to Mr. Penke's plan. Additional good life-boats are much needed on the French c oact, where, Mr. Henry F. Stephenson, who arrived recently with the Earl of Fife, at Duff House, died there on the afternoon of Friday last, atter a short illness. Mr. Ste phenson was at the dinner of the Banffshire Agricultural Association on Tuesday last. He continued in his usual apparently excellent health up to the morning of Friday. The preceding day and evenin g he was in excellent spirits, and retired to rest apparently quite well. On Friday morning he had an attack of indigestion, for which he had medical advice, and took the usual reme dies. At about half-past two p.m., he was seizes with pain in the chest, and expired. Disease of the hei.rt was the directly fatal cause. Mr. Stepheiroa married in 18:26, Lady Mary Keppel, daughter of the late and sister of the present Earl of Albemarle. By his lady, who survives him, Mr. Stephenson leaves a family of five eons and five daughters. He wtis iu his Mk nu. notwithstanding its great extent, hardly any life-boats are to be found. Surely such a state of things only requires to be properly represented to the Emperor of the French. It was reported that the institution had, during the cur rent year, paid nearly £5,000 in founding new life-boat establishments and maiu•aining others in a state of effi ciency. The committee, therefore, earncs•ly appealed for additional support to enable them to continue successfully their humane operations, and the proceedings then closed.

MURDER OF Two CHILDREN BY THEIR MOTHER.— Two children have been drowned by their mother at Cle vedon, Sornersetshire.—Their dead bodies were washed up by the tide on the beech in a small bay called the Little Harp. The eldest child is a girl, abut two years and a ba'f old, and the other a boy about 12 months. There were no marks of violence, except a few bruises on their faces, occasioned by the rolling of the bodies against the shingle, which is very sharp near the spot. A woman's bonnet, trimmed with white riband, was also washed on shore. It appears that the mother surrendered herself at tho police-office at Flax &Juana, about eight miles from Bristol, and conre scel her crime. She stated her name to be Williams, and that she was the wife of a very quiet re spectable man, a pa i nter, living at Upper Easton , one of the suburbs of Bristol. From information g ained sinc e , she lei', Bristol by the 3 o'clock down - tr ain, on Tuesda y , brine ing the two chi:d.en, one in arms, and had been seen by inany_in the village, but no par ticular notice ww, tak en of them, neither was there anything to excite suspicion of anything, unusual.

After the commission of the deed she seems to have made her way by road towards Bristol, passing through the villages of Nailsea and Wraxail, where she was remarked eat ly in the morning bonnetless, her dress thrown over her head, and her chthes as if saturated with water. According to report the woman is of intemperate and passionate habits and her husband a hind and mildly-disposed man. The bodies of the children were removed to a neighbouring h)tol for A coronceo inquest. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1858. PUBLICATIONS.

DUBLCIV, THURSDAY MORNING. MIXED MARRIAGES. The Tablet and .Everting Mail are engaged in a warm controversy on the subject of mixed marriages. The dispute originated in the denial by the Ultramontane ergan of several statements made by the Mail in reference to the recent union of a Protestant nobleman with a Roman Catholic Lady of high family. It will be recollected, as the affair was noticed in these columns at the time, that the lady married in defiance of the laws of the Romish Chutch, one of whose clergy had refased to perform the ceremony which was afterwards executed, however, by a minister of her noble husb an d' s f a i t h. A s there are some new points brought out in the following article from the lu ail , it may be profitably introduced here : ‘, We have been gently reprimanded by the Tablet for supposing that in a recent case of intermarriage between a Protestant and a Roman Catholic of high degree, without the intervention of a priest of Mine, Ultramontane auda cry would dtny Via , the parties were married at all, and brand their union with a very odious name.' This our con temporary states tote an error,' inasmuch as the decree of the Council of Treat, which requires for the validity of marriage that it be' celebrated in presence of the parish priest, applies to marriages between Catholics, and not to marriages where one or both of the parties are members of another confession.' We would bow to this correction if it were not accanipanit d by the somewhat insolent reservation that there is still a '.family disgrace' involved in the trans action alluded to. That is a strong and daring assertion which makes the concession of the mere legality of the mar riage oflittle worth. We shall offer no amende, therefore, to Ultramontane audacity,' nor qualify our words in any manner, till we receive an explanation, not only of that term disgrace,' hut also of a rebuke which has lately been adminiteered by a Romish dignitary to a lady of his confession,' who had contracted such a marriage as that to which this discussion refers. He told her, in direct terms, that she was her husband's concubine, not his wife ! If that was said without ecclesiastical authority, it is scarcely possible to imagine a grosser instance of ruitrid ruffianism. But if, on the other hand, double-tongued casuistry *can furnish up an excuse for such an outrage, doubtless it will do so. Tberefore,,for_the present at least, we shallataod to what we have. mails no mistake. The Tridentine eecree may not formally condemn, and yet the Pope, whose interdict has been set at naught, may, through his vassals, revile and calumniate. We shall wait to see how that will be be fi re we retract anything. The condition, sine qua non, on which, in private life, the Pontiff can be mollified to license the marriage of a Protestant with ever so distant a relative, or even no relative at all, is frankly acknewledged by the Tablet. It cannot be too well known to all of that denomination wbo are consciewieusly attached to their lath, and who ,desire that, when they are passed away, ti.eir children may occupy the same seats in the parish church, and kneel before the same table where they have themselves partaken of the mysteries and heard the pure Word of the Gospel. Let Protestants, who respect their religion enough to wish that it may be that of their household after them, pause before bestowing their affections irrevocably upon any subject of the Papacy. It is no small price which they are required to pay for a licence under that seal:—' It is sufficiently no torious (sals the Tablet), that not in Ireland only, but in England too, marriages between Catholics and Protestants are forbidden by the Church, and only permitted when there is an agreement that all the offspring of such unions shall be brought up Catholics. To the ideas of modern Protestant ism it may seem more grievous to enforce this law in the case of a marquis than in the case of a cobbler; but, except upon this theory, it is clear that our unternporaries have felt toe little 'repugnance to intrude upon the sanctuary of private life,' and have been too eager to publish the history of a private family disgrace." EDUCATIONAL STATE OP THE COUNTY MATO. The Mayo Constitution contains the following remark able paragraph :—" Will it be credited that in this great county, with an area of 3,600 square miles, there is not a school ? We understand by a school, a seminary for educa tion, conducted by a gentleman, who, hi v in g hi mse lf grad uated in some university, is able to impart a liberal educa tion to his pupils—an establishment where, in addition to the usual entrance course, comprising classics and science, a sound English education can be had, embracing courses of lectures on astronomy, mechanics, natural and experi mental philosophy, illustrated by the necessary apparatus. This is what we mean by a school ; and we assert that within the en! fi !es cf Mayo the re is no rush insthrion. Wnat is is teen the consequence of this state of things ? The result has been that gent:eaten, having no schools within the county, have been obliged to send their sans to the Isle of Man, Liverpool, Rugby, Dublin, Belfast, and elsewhere; and those who were educated at the humbler schools, being unable to pay for their sons at a distance, are now obliged to let them grow up in ignorance. This latter is no fancy sketch, for we are awara of the fact that a public officer, within the last month, requiring to make up official returns, was unable to obtain six writing clerks, and had in despsir to sit down to the desk himself." SULLIVAN, Tlll , HORSE WHISPERER. The Marquis of Waterford's protege, although not likely ever to rival Rarey, is gradually working his way into noto riety. His mble patron seems very much interested in hits, and has already assisted ina•erially in extending his reputa tion. In the Cork Reporter of yesterday, Sullivan's " operations" are thus noticed :—" Sullivan has operated a second tim,:; at the establishment of Messrs. Olden, V.S. Several gentlemen attended, and amongst them were some who had been pupils of Rarey. It appears that our c Jur,. tryman's methA is in every respect equal, and in many par ticulars superior to that of the American horse-tamer. We saw him without strap or extraneous aid, even without a whip, knock down a vicious mare, Thar years old; and so much does this seeming appliance of force depend on slight and skill, that Mr. Delacour, of Fairy-hill—a gentleman now full of years, whom we need not stay to describe, as he is universally well known through our county, where his name is ever accompanied with good will and respect— boldly undertook and succeeded in the s,n,e process. Tile secret is entirely practical and dependent upon proper manipulation; and it was very generally propounded as an admirable undertaking that ' the Whisperer' eliould take some large building, such as the Mary-street Circus, and operate there, at a moderate rate of admission, so that all the grooms and persons baying care cf horses might, fur their own safety and that of the animals, learn how to sub due them with certainty and case."

SCENE AT A ROMAN CATHOLIC LECTURE IN WIGAN —Eatly in the week the town of Wigan was placarded with announcements that a lecture would be delivered in St. John's Catholic Schoolroom, on Tuesday evening, by Dr. S. W. Kuttne r , th e su bj ec t being "The Holy Scrip ures." On Tuesday morning, however, a second placard was circu lated through the borough, headed " Romish Frauds," st iting that Dr. S. W. Kuttner (so cal'ed), who was to de liver a lecture that eveni ng, had been proved " an impostor," thoroughly and directing tee publi c to read a pamphlet written by the Rev. W. A. Darby, M.A., i Man chester, in which the i m p os iti on h e (Dr. Kuttner) was prac tising upon the public was cumbent oefx exposed. L I : sc( t k eA'ss, might ht have been expected, this caused considerable excitement in the town; and, notwithstanding that 3d , 6d., and ls. were the prices of admission, the room, capable of bending from 400 to 500, became well filled by a promiscuotti audience, the greater portion of whom were Catholics. Shortly before the hour of commencing. several cf the Protestant clergy and Dissenting ministers of the town entered the room, and took up a po s ition near the platform; amongst them being the Rev. W. T. White head, incumbent of St. Catharine's. About ten minutes after eight o'clock, the lecturer, accompanied by the Revs. Thos. Seed and H. M'Cormick, Catholic priests, entered the room, amidst tremendous shouting and cheering by the audience. As was announced on the placard, the Rev. Thomas Seed presided, and in a few remarks, requested the audience to give the lecturer a patient hearing, and stated that it was very wrong to put out the placard which had been circulated through the town, the first words of which (" Ramish Frauds") were falsehoods, and calculated to give pain and cause disturbance. Ile then called upon the lecturer, but before he could speak, the ministers all rose, and the Rev. W. T. Whitehead (having paid Is. far admission) protested,,on his and their behalf, against :he remarks of the chairman, and stated that the bill contained nothing that was false. These remarks were nearly drowned with hisses and hootings from the Catholic portion of the audience. On Mr. Whitehead still persisting to speak, several roach-looking fellows rushed from the bottom of the room to the platform, and wi'h a very threatening air menaced the reverend gentleman and the other ministers with him. The meeting became con fused. The ladies near the platform rushed out at a private door, whilst the men becam e more u nruly. Words ran hig h, a d n e d ser c i o p n t f io u n si . on The police having been confusion, which lasted for some a m n i d n u t h t e e s cbreagmgbalrisn all sent for were met on their entrance by deafening cries of "Turn them (the ministers) out." Order having once more been restored, the Rev. W. T. Whitehead was allowed, by the permission of the chairman, to say a few words, in which he promised to listen quietly to what the lecturer had to say until the close, when he hoped the opportunity would he afforded him of rebutting the lecturer's statements. Dr. Buttner then proceeded, amidst considerable noise and inter ruption, give his lecture on the Holy Scriptures. A simila r scene w t o asagain and again enacted, and had it not been for the help of the police, assisted by the Re v . H. M'Cormick (who brandished a large s ti c k in front of the m ore turbulent portion of the audience) and others , the consequences must have been very serious, Before the lecturer had finished, the excitement became general, and on the chairman declaring, amidst great noise, that the meeting was over, a tremendous uproar ensued. The Pro testant ministers, th e lecturer, priests, police, and audience, all became mixed up in one mass of confusion, and a per fect melee was the tosult. In addition to the destruction of clothing, many persons must have been much injured by being knocked about. One man was bleeding profusely from the mouth, having received a blow in the contest. The excitement was very great, the streets being crowded; and it was only through the protection of the police that the minister, the lecturer, and his party g t safely home. So great was the excitement and commotion during the meet ing, that the reporters, who occupied a table near the plat form, had more than once to escape into some corner of the room f T safety, whilst their table and chairs became re peatedly overturned in the confusion which ensued. — Manchester Guardian.

Mn. HUMPHREY BnowN.--Mr. Humphrey Brown, a director of the late Royal British Bank, who has lately been released from the Queen's Bench prison, made a public entry into the town of Tewkesbury on Tuesday last. His horse was taken out of his cab, and a mob of men, women, and children dragged him into the town. Mr. Brown after terwards made a speech to his friends. lie was formerly M.P. for the borough! THE NBW ARMY WARRANT. The report of the Royal Commissioners appointed to re vise the Warrant of 18.54, as regards promotion in the higher ranks of the army, was published yesterday. It is elabo rate, clear, and comprehensive, entering fully and fairly into all the complaints which have been urged of the unequal operation of the previous warrant. At present, time pre vents our doing more than epitomising the recommenda tions, which are to the following effect : First, with regard to the past operation of the warrant, especially in the case of colonels and lieut.-colonels passed over by their juniors, the commissioners recognise many benefits conferred by the system of selection for the rank of maj 'r-general, and of promotion to that of colonel, because of a certain period spent in discharging the practical duties of lieut.-colonel ; but they admit that injustice to indi viduals was inflicted, which they propose to remedy tkus:- 1. By making the officers promoted to be major-gene rals for distinguished service, supernumerary to the fixed establishment, until the period at which they would come upon that establishment by seniority, thus leaving the stream of promotion entirely unchecked among the colonels, while giving to the selected officers every advantage of position which they now hold as a consequence of their distinguished conduct. 2. The advancement to the rank of colenel of all lieut.- colonels commissioned as such prior to the 20th of June, 1854, the commissions to be antedated to the 28th of Nov., 1854, and the colonels thus promoted to take their position as colonels according to their previous seniority as lieut.- colonels. The number of officers who have been passed over, but who will he reinsta'ed by this prevision, is 115. flaying removed these two inequalities as regards the past, the commissioners in the next place provide for the future by recommending several important modifications of the warrant of 1854, which are as follow :- 1. The increase of the fixed establishment of general tifliers of the Guards and the line from 231 to 260. The new establishment to consist of 50 generals, 80 lieutenant generals, and 130 major-generals. 2. Making the qualification for future advancement to the rank of colonel five years' command of a regiment instead of three, as at present, ordinary leave of absence not to be deducted from the period. Majors and brevet-lieutenant colonels in command, in the absence of the lieutenant colonel, to be also entitled to the rank after five years so spent, and majors and brevet-lieutenant-colonels, having detached commands equal in respensibility and extent to that of lieutenant-colonel, to be considered as qualified in the same manner at the discretion of the Commander-in- Chief, subject to the approval of the Secretary of State. 3. Officers promoted to the rank of brevet lieutenant colonel, for distinguished services in the field, to be made colonels after eight years, instead of six years, as at present. 4. Six years service as field officer to continue as an in dispensable condition of promotion to the rank end pay of major-general. 5. The removal of an officer from regimental command at the age of 60. 6. Lieutenant-colonels on the retired full pay to receive not merely their pay of 17s. a-day, as at present, but their additional command money of 3s. a-day, thus making the retiring allowance equal to the real full pay, as its name 7. Brevet rank to be converted into substantive rank very sparingly, and only for very distinguished service, and promotion out of turn to the rank of major-gen., to be given only for extraordinary services. Officers now having brevet rank, and having the right to acquire substantive rank, to have the option of retaining their present regi mental position, but with the pay of regimental officers of the higher rank. The brevet-major's pay would thus be increased from 13s. 7d. to 163. per day, and the brevet lieut.-col. from 163. to I7s. The commissioners advert to the relative positions 'of the Guards and the Line, and speak of the complaints, on the part of the former, as to their taking two years longer (on an average) to attain the rank of colonel than officers of the line. The captains And lieutenant-colonels of the Guards commissioned prior to June, 18,54, are to be promoted along with the other lieutenant-colonels of the same standing ; but, as regards the future, the commissioners leave the position of the Guards an open question, remarking that ihe warrant of 1854 has not yet been sufficiently long in operation to enable them to come to a decision as to its working in that particular respect, and that " the compara tive slowness of promotion in the Guards is, in part at least, attributable to circumstances advantageous to the officers of these regiments."

Every assistance that medical skill could render was afforded, but although he lingered through the night, he did not recover, death ensuing on Wednesday.—Brighton Gazette. ___ bit, A be tb, 001111 ang e l: I g r lo v :' lel .- !.
