THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTILE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder willnease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tri:d 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, aad in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity wises solely from its own in trinsic merits, and the great deruand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimo.ay 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. • ;- • ''~G . C - PRICE 4D, STAMPED, SD.

ACCOMMODATION IN LOAN TRANSACTIONS.—OnIy one-half of the Annual Premium, when the insurance is for life, requires to be paid for the first five years, simple interest being charged on the balance. Such arrangement is equivalent to an immediate advance of 50 per cent. upon the Annual Premium, without the borrower having recourse to the unpleasant necessity of procuring sureties, or assigning and thereby parting with his Policy, during the cur rency of the loan, irrespective of the great attendant expenses in such arrangements. The above mode of insurance has been found most advantageous when policies have been required to cover monetary transactions, or when incomes applicable for insurance are at present limited, as it only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other com panies before the present system was instituted by this office. Loans are granted likewise on real and personal securities. ADVANTAGE OF INSURING BEFORE DEC. 31, 1858.—Policies effected before this date will participate to a greater extent than if delayed after that period.

WNDON, TUESDAY EVENING, .AUGUST. 17, 1858. The LATE MYSTERIOUS DEATH at ACXON, EXTRAORDINARY DISCLOSURES The adjourned inquest on the body of John GateS, who was found dead on the Actbu-road, ou Monday night, the 9th inst., stabbed to the heart by soate sharp instrument, was resumed yesterday afternoon before Mr. Wallley.! The inquest-room was crowded with persons anxious to hear the proceedings, a report having been circulated that two officers in . her MPjesly's navy were inculpated in the death of the deceased. _ On the assembling of the jury sevcral of them complained that an erroneous statement had appeared in the papers, to The effect that the inquest was to be held on Tuesday (this evening). Mr. Wakley stated that he believed the " inaccuracy" complained of was intentional. Henry George was the first witness examined—l live at Ealing, and am a groom. On Monday night last, about 10 minutes to 12 o'clock, I found the body of the deceased close to the Priory on the high road near the railway bridge. It was lying in the middle of the road. There were two men standing close by. I would not know either of the men again. They cried out to the man that was driving the Uxbridge waggon, on which I was seated, "Don't run over that fellow." The men were going to wards 'London. One of them was swinging a stick or cane in his hand, but I could not tell what it was exactly, as it was a very dark night. One of the men was tall and the other short. The man who was driving the waggon said, " Why don't you pull that man out of the road ?" but they made nPanswer. I then got down and dragged the body from the middle of the road on to the path. There was a loaf and a handkerchief lying close to the body. There was blood flowing from his mouth. I then met two police men, a►►d told them to go to the aSsistanee of the wounded man. The Coroner—Did you see any weapon near the body.... sword, dagger, or stick ? Witness—l did not. A Juror—Did you see either of the men hit the deceased? Witness—No; I only saw one of them swing a stick. Mr. Henry Bailey Lingham, member of the College of Surgeons, residing at Acton, said—l first saw the body on Monday night shortly before 12 o'clock. It was lying 100 yards from the railway bridge, close to the Priory wall. The deceased was then quite dead. A quantity of blood bad flowed from the mouth and face, and the lower part of the face was covered with blood. There was also a quantity of frothy blood on the road near where the body was found. I examined the clothes parti cularly, thinking the man might have been run over, but they were not disturbed. At that time I noticed no sign of violence about the body. I ordered it to be taken to the nearest public-house, the George Inn. It was afterwards taken to the dead-house, because the landlord refused to allow it to lie in the coach-house, as he expected carriages to be brought in. I made a post mortent examination on Wednesday last. On the previous day I made an examina tion, and found blood exuding, which could not have come from the mouth. I found the clothes saturated with blood, and a small cut in the coat, and a corresponding one in the shirt. On examining the chest, I perceived a wound half drt inch in length corresponding to the cuts in the shirt and coat. The cut was two and a half inches to the right side of the right nipple. A very small quantity of blood had been discharged from it. I subsequently opened the chest, and on removing the skin I found blood under the cellular tissues and slight crepita tion. On opening the chest there was a corresponding wound in the pleura. It extended into the left auricle of the heart, through the right lung. A great quantity of blood remained in the cavity of the chest and the pericardium. The Coroner—Was the wound sufficient to cause death ? Witness—Yes; no man could have survived such a wound. I believe he died instantaneously. The Coroner—Do you think he could have lived a mo ment? Witness—He could not possibly have lived a moment. The wound in the lung was so large that I could put the tip of my finger into it. The witness here produced the clothes, which were marked with blood at the place where the incisions were made. Thexoroner and the jury minutely examined the places where the weapon had entered, which were very small, and must have bten effected with a very sharp in strument. Mr. Liogham further stated that there was a small punc ture near the pit of the stomach, but that he could not say it was done by any weapon. John Mansell, No. 1 T division of police, deposed that he searched the pockets of the deceased, and found a pair of spectacles in a case, three halfpence, a small piece of pewter pipe, some tobacco, and a piece of soap. There was also a parcel lying beside the body containing a half-quarters loaf and a piece of bacon. There were no other cuts in the clothes except those deposed to by the surgeon. Mr. Edward Tarlton, superintendent of the T division of police, here addressed the coroner, and stated that it had become his duty to arrest that morning Mr. Henry Augus tus Clavering, of 61, Inverness-road, Bayswater, a lieute nant in hsr Majesty's navy. He bad taken Lieut. Claver ing before the magistrate at Hammersmith, who held him to bail in sureties of £2OO and £lOO to appear before him on Friday next at 2 o'clock. The Coroner inquired whether Lieut. Clavering was present ? Mr. Tarleton said he was in the house and would attend. Lieut. Clavering, a gentleman very fashionably attired, and about 30 years of age, here entered the room and took a seat close to the superintendent of police. Ile appeared to treat the matter very lightly. The Coroner—Are there not other witnesses ? A gentleman, who stated that Ms name was Thomas Miller, and that he was a post-captain in her Majesty's navy, then stepped forward 0 give evidence. He said—l reside at the Grove, Exeter, and came to London this after noon. I am staying at 61, Inverness-terrace, Bayswater. That is the residence of Lieut. Clavering. I was in the Acton-road, near the Priory, on Monday night last, about 12 o'clock. Lieut. Clavering was with me. We were on foot. As we approached the railway bridge we thought we had lost our way. I imagined we were on the road from Turnham-green towards Acton. We had been out for a walk. We emerged into the high road from Acton, out of a narrow dark lane. As we got out of the lane, at a point about four miles from town, we observed a man at the opposite fide of the way evidently intoxicated, swearing, talking to himself, and making a great commotion. I said to Clavering, " We had better let that fellow pass on." He did not go on very quick, so we waited a little and then proceeded. On coming nearly up to him he turned round furiously towards us, and to the best of my belief said, " What the business have you heie—what are you up to here ?" I thought the accent was that of a foreigner, and I said to Clavering, "He is some discharged ♦alet or barber." Clavering said to the man, " We are two gentlemen taking a walk for our amusement, and I should like to know what business that is of yours?" What the man staid to this I cannot say, but I heard disconnected sentences, such as "Do for you," and then he made a rush right upon Clavering, who happened to be nearer to him than I was. Clavering struggled with him with a swordstick in his hand. (A very formidable swordcane, nearly as large as the regula tion sword, was here produced.) The Coroner—What do you mean by " struggling witb him ?" Witness—The deceased caught hold of the swordstick. and Clavering told him to mind what he was about, as he had a swordstick in his hand. He repeated this two or three times. The night was very dark. I did not myself see the sword leave the sheath ; but I saw the man strike two or three severe blows at Claveriog, and one came right down on his head. I then saw that Claver ing's sword was drawn, and it seemed to me be was endeavouring to keep the man off the point. I then thought I saw something glitter like a knife or,p polished pistol in the unfortunate man's hand. I then sang out, "Take care, Harry, he has a knife or pistol in his hands, so look out." I grasped my own stick tighter, and got a little nearer to the man to ascertain what it was that he bad in his band. I heard Clavering say distinctly to the man, when endeavouring to keep him &from the end of th e sword, "Take care or I may do you an injury." He then said, "This is the third time, I tell you take care, I may do you an injury." The man made another rush after that warning, and he fell. I never saw Clavering strike a blow or make a thrust, but I saw him retreat to the side of the path. When I saw the man fall I said, "Come along, Harry, I expect there are more of them about." He re plied, " Hold on a minute [until I pick up the end of my swordstick." I did not know until then that it was with the sheath of the swordstick that the deceased had struekClaver lug. We then went on. Claveriog remarked, " I fear I may have pricked the fellow." I said, "Nonsense, Harry. I was close to him, and could swear you never touched him ; I expect his drunkenness has been the cause of his fall." He said, " Well, I don't know ; but I will tee directly whether there is any blood or stain on the point of my sword—possibly he may have got pricked in the arm while rushing on me." I said, "Well, if that's all it will do him no harm, and serve him very well right; but I could al most swear you hav'nt touched him." A cart was passing by at a slow trot in the direction of Acton, and Clavering sang out, "There is a drunken fellow on the road-side; take care and don't go over him." I also sang out, " You had Letter pick the fellow up, and put him in the cart." After going oti a little further, we came to a light place on the road-side, and Clavering said, " Hold on until I see whether that fellow was really pricked or not." Clavering then drew the sword, and we examined it minutely, and there was no mark or stain of blood of any description on the sword, and I remarked " There, you see, I told you you bad never touched the man," or " he was never touched." Clavering said, " I am very glad of it; but if he had been pricked it would have been his own doing." then observed that a little bit had been chipped out of the sheath of the swords k. Befoilethis I had said, " Shall we go back and look at the felltem," and I 1?, said, " No; I don't see the use of it." That Is ill i have to say. The Coroner—Then, gentlemen, I am bound to tell you that, on every protind, it is right that we should adjourn this inquiry in oettiß to have additional evidence. The Foreman °title Jury—May eve not, cross-examine Copt. Mince? The Coronee-ei cannot alloW him to be cross-examined. It is a very help tent cas.!, and I must bind the witness over in hea‘y recd ;uieanees to appear here again. He vo lunteered the statement ha has just made, and I did not think it necessary to caution him as to what he was about to say; but alter thestatement he has made, and considering that he was prtsent during the affray, I think it would be wrong to cress-examine him. 1, therefore, propose to adjourn until Thu r sday nex t ; an d as b a th Capt. Miller and Lieut. (slavering must appear before me, it is possible they may avail themselves of legal assistance. Lieut. Clavering then s!epped forward and said—l have only got to say that if a man has run through another in tentionally his conscience must accuse him; but I will take my oath, and may God strike me dead if I tell a lie, that I never pointed my sword towards him. He struck rue three times. Ttie Coroner—l think you had better say no more at this moment. Lieut. Claveripg—l wish to make that statement before my couotlymen. Capt. Miller —Am I to consider myself a culprit in cus tody. I am quite ready to appear, and I knew nothing of the affair until I read it. in the newspapers. The Coroner —I certainly cannot allow you to leave the room until you have entered into your recognisances to appear on Thursday. Capt. am quite ready to appear. The Coroner (to Mr.Tarlton)—llid Lieut. Clavering give himself up tl you ? Mr. Tarlton —He went to Sir Richard Mayne ; and, from information, I went to Inverness-terrace, where be made a statement,.and said he was willing to go before a magistrate. I met bitn by appointment at the Broeliqreen station. We then went before the magistrate at Hammersmith, when some evidence was teku, and the further hearing adjourned until Friday next - at two o'clock. Lieut. Clavering was then bound over in his personal surety for 4500, and Capt. Miller in £3OO, to appear at the adjourned inquest on Thursday next. The Coroner—Then the inquiry will be adjourned until Thursday next, when I hope the whole of the evidence will be completed. The case is one of great importance. The public attention is intensely directed to it, and I recommend the jury between this and Thursday not to enter into any discussion with other persens upon the features and general character of the case as at present they have only heard one side. The case was then adjourned until Thursday. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. ROYSTON AND HITCHIN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the offices, in Great St. Helen's, yesterday—Mr. Wm. Reid in the chair—when the guaranteed dividend, at the rate of . 6 per cent. per annum, was declared, short income tax, and lid. every ,E 6 ss. stock for expenses. MID-KENT (BROMLEY TO ST. MARY CRAY). The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the offices, South Sea House, yesterday—Mr. Dent in the chair. The SECRETARY read the advertisement convening the meeting, and the report, which said— " The directors have the satisfaction ofcongratulating the proprietors on the opening of so touch of the Hid-Kent Railway as lies between Shortlande and Southborough; and they look with confidence to the arrangements which have been entered into with the South-Eastern Company for working the line proving beneficial to both companies, The directors have the pleasure of stating that, during the time the railway has been open, namely, six weeks, the gross receipts at the Brotnley and Southborough-road stations have amounted to £a7l Bs. 9J., which show an average of £95 ss. per week for passeng er traffic alone. The accommodation for passengers, goods, and coal, at 13rondey, is being provided upon an enlarged scale, at the request of the South-Eastern Company. The cost of these works, therefore, will exceed what had been previously considered sufficient by the board; but looking to the im portant and obvious advantages which the Bromley station will afFord to a large and increasing traffic, the direc tors have felt themselves justified in adopting the re quirements of the South-Eastern Company. As re gards the working agreement which had been entered into between the twcs companies, the directors have to ob serve, that in consequence of an informality in advertising the extraordinary general meeting which took place on the 22d of June last, it is necessary, at the close of the business of the half-yearly meeting to-day, that the meeting be de clared special, for the purpose of again submitting that agreement for your approval. The directors believe that the total expenditure for the present purposes of the line will have to be ascertained during the current half-year. The consent of the shareholders will be this day requested to the exercise of the company's borrowing powers, to the extent of f'23,000, in pursuance of the provisions contained in the Act of Incorporation. The directors have to report that the bill referred to in the last balf-yearly report for powers to lease the undeitsking to the South-Eastern Company has been rejected by Parliament ; and they deem it necessary also to acquaint you that Parliament has saec tioned the bill promoted by the East Kent Company, for enabling them to extend their railway from Stromd to join the Bromley and St. Mary Cray, Railway; re jecting the line promoted by the South-Eastern Company. Although the recent contest between the South-Eastern 8114 the East Kent Companies necessarily led to Parliamentary action on the part of the Mid-Kent Company, and at a cost disproportionate to the length of its line; yet inasmuch as the result has been that your directors have been enabled to perfect their relations with their original allies, the South-Eastern, and by means of the working agreement hereinhefore alluded to have secured to the proprietors the advantages of a fixed income; and, moreover, as they have made an agreement with the East Kent Compaey for the exercise of the running powers granted by Parliament over the Crays Railway, by which agreement the East Kent has bound itself to pay 80 per cent. of all the traffic it may carry over your line, guaranteeing likewise a minimum payment of El,OOO per annum from the time of opening the line from Strocd to St. Mary Cray, sad for three years afterwards, unless in the meantime the East Kent system shall have been opened to Dover, when £1,500 per annum will be the minimum. The directors entertain the opinion that such outlay has been advantageous to the interests of the proprietors, and they hope that there may now be a termination of the costly struggle which hes existed for several years. They have the satisfaction of further report ing that the bill to authotise the construction of a station near Victoria-street, Pitelico, and of a railway to connect the same with the west end of London and Crystal Palace Rails ay, hrs received the royal assent. Your directors are satisfied that the improved communication which will thereby be afforded at no distant period between Mid Kent and the West-end of London will be of the greatest value in developing the traffic of the Bromley and St. Mary Cray Railway." The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and stated it was a matter of sincere congratulation that the line to Southhorouith-road was opened on the sth July last, and the traffic had been so satisfactory as to promise a good return to the South-Eastern Company, who was to work the line for ten years. It was a matter of regret that this company had been driven into Parliamentary contests, the expenses of which pressed heavily on so short a line. The East Kent Company had obtained powers to extend their line from Strood to St. Mary Cray, with power, if the line was not completed beyond the Southborough-road by the Crays Company, to complete it themselves, and probably this com pany might leave them to do so. The South-Eastern Com pany evidently expected large traffic on the line, and had called upon them to make the necessary arrangements at Bromley, which they were now completing. The result of the Parliamentary contests had been to enable them to complete their arrangements with the South-Eastern Company, and also to enter into a satisfacto:y agree ment with the East Kent Company. The irregu larity of the last special meeting arose fr.)m a mistake of the newsman, by which the notice calling the meeting was not advertised fourteen days, and the Board of Ti ode called upon them to re-advertise, and again take the opinion of the shareholders on the question. He considered the present slate of Parliamentary committees with respect to railways the most unsatisfactory and disgraceful that could well be devised—the only certainty being that the decision would be in accordance with the private views of the individual members, without regard to the justice of the case; and it was certainly a most extraordinary position in which to leave £300,000,000 of capital embarked in these undertakings. The report was adopted, the board authorised to borrow the amount as mentioned in the report, and £l,OOO voted to the directors for their past services. The meeting was then made special, ar.d the agreement with the South-Eastern Company for a minimum dividend of four per cent. again approved, Mr. Simpson explaining that the engagement with the East Kent line had been entered into for the protection of their allies the South- Eastern Company, and not in opposition to them. It was to protect the South-Eastern that they insisted on having a guaranteed amount from the East Kent before they (the Mid Kent) would withdraw their opposition to the East Kent Bill. _ _ A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. MID-KENT. meeting of this company was held after The half-yearly the above at the London Tavern—Sir J. W. Lubbock in the chair. _ • Mr. BELLAMY read the advertisement convening the meeting, and, after the other usual formalities, the follow ing report was laid before the proprietors : " The gross receipts eaTned upon the lice during the past half-year amount to 831 17s. Bd., showi ng an i ncrease o f £766 13s. 6d. upon th e corres p o n d ing period of last year. The arbitrator to whom the question of the deductions claimed by the South . Eastern Company was re f erre d , hav ing decided that the Mid-Kent Coinpaby are entitled, under the agreement, to a clear 6) per cent. of the gross earnings of the line, free from all seductions, the company's net pro portion of the above will amount to £1,715 17s. sd. From this sum must be deducted the expenr s of manage ment, which have been apportioned this half-year as last, and for the same reasons, and the debenture interest, amounting together to £698 16s. 2d. ; and leaving, with the amount brought forward from last y ear , a b a l ance o f £1,248 3s. 5(1., out of which the directors recommend a divi dend of 11 per cent. for the half-year, or at the rate of per cent. for the year. Notwithstandiag the general falling off in the receipts en the railways throughout England during the last six months the traffic on the line has steadily improved, and firolu si i t y ce rin tl i te s ) ti p tv l b ir , i r g oti g o t . t i .l o aa ro S , t ;n A t l h a e ry l et Cr o a f y 3 R u a ly il:v i a t y hastn shown such a nia , keit increase that h considerably higher rate of dividend may be anticipated for the next hal-year. The directors reprd with satisfaction the passing of the act in the late session for the Es , - .1. Kent Extension from Strold to Sr. Mary Cray, which caitimt but be the means of throwing a considerable additional traffic upon this line. The renewal of the application for the Croydon Extension by this company has ltd to au arrangement with the Brighton Company, by which nearly all the objects sought by the bill will be attained at a much less cost. Under thi s arrangement it is intended to construct a short line froai the West London and Crystal Palace Company's Extension, near Penge, to the Brighton line at Nor.vood Station, and to form the western jutic!ion, of the Mid-Kent line with thp! West-cud line at Beckenham. Direct access will thus be given from all places on the North Kent Railway to Croydon and other stations on the Brighton Company's system, which will undoutstedly bring a large accession of traffic to the Mid-Kent line. There is one subject in connection with the revenue account on which the directors wish to give an ex planation. The item of maintenance of the line and works usually dppears as one of the heaviest charges against this account. Under the agreement the South Eastern Corn pany are to work the line for 40 per cent. of the gross receipts for the first two years, during which time the Mid- Kent Company are to maintain the way and works; (after that term the maintenance falls on the South Eastern Com pany, who are then entitled to 50 per cent. of the gross receipts.) It was, therefore, arranged with the contractors that the term for which they were bound to keep the line in good repair, viz., 12 months, should be doulaled ; and a small additional sum was added to the contract for that pur pose. After the close of ibis year the arrangement for main tenance by the South-Eastern Company comes into effect." The report having been adopted, the CHAIRMAN congratu lated the proprietors on the increasing revenue of the com pany. During the last mouth the traffic bad still further increased, and their prospects were more flattering than , they could have anticipated at so early a date. The dividend was declared, and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. TAFF VALE. The report of the directors states that adverse circum stances have caused a considerable diminution in the trade of the railway during the past half year. A considerable reduc tion has been effected in the working expenses on the amounts charged for relaying the permanent way and maintenance of way and works, but, as these outlays will be heavier during the current half-year, and there are also other circumstances which may affect the revenue account, the directors have felt called upon to reduce the dividend. The balance of the revenue account, assisted by the reserve in hand at the end of the llaA half-year, enables the directors to declare a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent., per annum, payable on the Gth September next, with a dividend in the same pro portion on the preference stock No. I. They have also ap plied the usual sum of X 750 to the depreciation fund. Pre parations are being made for the prosecution of new works, under the powers of the last Act of Parliament, on a scale calculated to afford increased accommodation to the trade. Since the last meeting a distribution of the new capital has been made among the proprietors, and a deposit of £2 per share bas been paid thereon. The capital account to the 30th of June last shows a total receipt of £1,133,367, and a total expenditure of £1,145,31, leaving a balance of £41,924 against capital. The revenue account for the half year shows a total receipt of £98,076, of which amount £53,615 has been expended, leaving a balance of, £44,401. 'Of this sum £21,745 has been applied to the payment of interest on debentures, preferential stock, &c. The balance of £22,716 is carried to the general revenue account. ROYSTON AND HITCHIN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester day at the officer St. Helen's-place, Mr. W. Reed in the chair. The CHAIRMAN declared the usual dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, has income-tax, and lid. per £6 ss. stock for expen.es of management, on the Royston, Hitchin, and Shepreth consolidated stock, for the half•year ending August 1, 1858. The meeting then separated. STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester day at Darlington, Mr. Meynell in the chair. Tue report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN said he regretted that it was not in his power, as on former occasions, to congratulate the share holders on an increase of traffi; but this, he thought, was sufficiently accounted for by the depression of trade. There was one circumstance which had specially affected this com pany—viz., a strike of long continuance among the men em ployed at several large ironworks using the Stockton and Darlington line. Now, however, things were improving, and be found that the receipts for the lait six weeks had neatly reached the average of the corresponding period last year. Various events of importance hail occurred in the half-year, not the least being the e connected with the Par liamentary applications of the company. From these the directors anticipated considerable advantage, especially in connection with the re-arrangement of capital. The act of amalgamation would come into operation on 3d September, prior to which a special meeting would be criled fur making the necessary arrangements. Mr. J. PEASE explained a scheme now under the direc tors' consideration for rearranging the company's capital. They propo - ed to leave the A capital, £150,000, as at pre hen t ; to raise the B from £49,930 to an even £850,000, to raise the C from £178,000 to £200.000, and to increase the ordinary capital (under the new act) from £1,000,000 to £1,380,000, by an issue of 15,200 new ordinary shares of £25 each, at the rate of one new share for three original. The new capital would eventually, if thought fit, be assimi lated to the • capital raised under the act of 18.15, on which only £7 per share had been paid, so as still further to situ • plify the capital. The amounts added to B and C would be a reduction of the company's loan debt. A short conversation followed, in which no objection was made to the suggestion. The report was then adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 81 per cent. per annum was declared ; and after a resolution of condolence with the family of the late Mr. Ed mat d Pease the meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. BULL AND SELBY. The half-yearly meeting was held at Hull on Friday, Mr. J. R. Pease in the chair. The report showed a balance of £33,923 in favour of the company, out of which the directors recommended a divi dend of £ 2 9s. 6d. per £59 share, and in proportion for the half and quarter shares (less the income-tax deducted by the lessees). The CHAIRMAN moved, and Mr. J. BOWES seconded, the adoption of the report, and declaration of the dividends recommended therein, payable on the 28th inst. The motion was carried unanimously, and the proceedings terminated. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN SHIRE. The total expenses of this company's railways, including rents, tall, duty, &c., have amouted from July 1 to Aug. 8, to £29,768, as against £28,894 for the corresponding period of 1857. The proportion of South Junction, &c., receipts accruing to this company from July 1 to Aug. 8 amount to £2,376, as against £3,935 for the corresponding period of 1857; and the expenses to £1,530, as against £1,568 for the corresponding period of 1857. The total receipts, includ ing rents, &c., of this company's canals, for the month end ing July 31, have amounted to £4,977, as against £5,941 for the corresponding period of 1857; and the total expenses, including rates, &e., amounted to £3,333, as against £3,323 for the corresponding period of 1857 ; Waving a balance of met profit of £1,644, as against £'2,618 for the corresponding period of 1857. TWEED SALMON FISHING.—The Berwick Advertiser says :—" We have better hopes now of a grilse season than we had last month, as they have come on more plentiful during the last ten days; and the salmon and trouts are still continuing to be taken in fair numbers. So very fluc tuating is the supply of fish, that while there were nearly 15,000 grilse caught in the Tweed in July, 1857, there were scarcely 3,000 taken last month." EXTRAORDINARY COMBAT. The Hull l'achet rec .rils a rather singular affair which happened near Hull a few evenings since. Mr. Bray, cowkeeper, who resides in Hendyke-lane, near Newland, was passing along one of his fields at dusk, when, a few yards in advance of him, he saw a band of seven or eight foumarts playing on the cart-road which skirts the edge. They planted themselves boldly in his path ; and when he attempted to drive them off; they sprang at him in a body, and a furious combat ensued for five or ten minutes. The little assailants were evidently bent on effectually using their claws and teeth. As fast as one was knocked down with his hat, which was all the de fence he had, the remainder continued their eflbrts to climb up his clothes and attack his face. Ultimately, however, three or four of the foumarts were thrown disabled into the hedge bottom, and the rest beat a precipitate retreat. Mr. Bray secured three of them with a piece of string and carried them away alive.

THE NAVY. The steam storeship Rhadamanthus, Master Commander W. L. Brown, with steam gear from Woolwich, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday. The Queen, 110, in charge of Mr. Madge and 50 seamen, was towed from Batnonze at 8 o'clock ou Sunday morning by the Zephyr and Confiance tugs to Plymouth Sound, where she was passed over to the steam frigate Terrible, Captain Glasse, which took her out through the western entrance fur conveyance to Sheerness to be fitted with a screw. The steam frigate Valorous, Captain Aldhatn, ac companied them. The paddlewheel steam sloop Argus, G, Commander H. F. W. Ingram, from Sheerness, left 100 men and a detach ment of marines at Plymouth on Sunday, and then sailed for the west coast of Africa, touching at Queenstown. The lighter Aid, with stores from Chatham, arrived at Plymouth on Sunday. The Prussian vessel Mater Elizabeth has finished dis charging her cargo of timber and deals at Chatham Dock yard. A novel and successful experiment was tried at Keyham steam yard a few days since, in undocking a caisson which had received considerable repair in dock at Keyhatn, and was a great thoroughfare for the workmen, horses, &c., when crossing between the two baiins south and north. The caisson and the steam frigate Encounter were together in the Queen's Dock. The frigate was at the head, with extensive defecs, a large number of her timbers being de cayed, also the sternpost and other parts • to effect these re pairs a great portion o f th e b o t tom planking was necessarily removed. The difficulty was how to float out the caisson while the Encounter was in such a state, for if temporarily patched it would have been at a heavy cot and great risk of damage, as her shape was of course much loosened. The master-builder at Keyham solved the difficulty by placing sufficient iron ballast on the upper deck of the Encounter to prevent the lower deck and other buoyant parts from dis turbing her, and allowed the water to flow in until it was nearly as high as the upper deck. Tue attempt proved mist successful, for after the caisson was flowed out and the water withdrawn only one of the frigate's shores was found to he disturbed. Such an experiment is said never before to have been attempted in the west ; the saving effected is considerable. Tile following app:lntments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Capt. E. B. Rice, to the Royal Albert ; Capt. H. E. Edgell, to the Chesapeake; Capt. G. T. P. Horuby, to the Tribune, vice Edgell, appointed to the Chesapeake ; Lieut. the Hon. F. 0. B.

Thl New York Herold contains the following telegrams from Toronto respecting the Ministerial crisis:— " TORONTO, A 112.2. " At the reassembling of the two houses this afternopn there was an immense rush for places to hear the official anneuneement of the new Ministry. The excitement out of doors was intense, and the Speaker had no sooner taken his seat than all the galleries were filled with anxious spec tators. Some routine business having been disposed of in the Lower House, Mr. Patrick rose and stated that he had been instructed to announce to the house the names of the new Administration. They were as follows :—George Brown, Inspector-General and Premier ; James Morris. Speaker of the Legislative Council; Michael Foley, Postmaster. General ; • John S. M'Donald, Attorney-General of Canada West; Mowatt, Provincial Secretary; Dr. Connor, Solicitor-Gene ral of Lower Canada; L. V. Drummond, Attorney-General of Canada East; G. B. Dorion, Commissioner of Crown Lands; M. Thibaudeau, Bureau of Agriculture ; M. Lemieux Re ceiver• General; L. H. Holton, Public Works; M. Lab ' e ge Solicitor-General of Canada East. Th e names of Messrs.r- Drummond, Dorion, and Thibaudeau elicited loud laughter and exclamations from the supporters of the late Ministry. not Mr. Pa rick said that he was ,authorised to wake any statement on that occasion ° the new Government i n regard to the metahseurvesiewbesfooref the house, but that he hoped to be able to do so to morrow.

Votes of want of confidence in the Brown-llorion Ministry were passed last night in both houses by large ma jorities, the vote in the Upper House being 1G to 8, and in the lower 71 to 31. It is not improbable that there will be a disc plution,e‘ though the Governor-General is strongly op posed to such a step. In the contest for West Middlesex the anti-Ministerial candidate was in a majority of 125 on the first day's poll. An opposition is threatened to Mr. Brown's (the Premier's) return for Toronto. The Legisla tive Council met this morning and passed a resolution de claring their regret at the vote of the Lower House on the seat of Government question, and denouncing it as an in sult to her Majesty."

LONpON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise's 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 phl sical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiaess, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those pe nalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infir mity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

At Dunmanway petty sessions, the other day, a case v. heard which excited considerable interest. The prosecu is a gentleman of great respectability, and this, added to t curious nature of the charge he had preferred against prisoner, caused the court to be densely thronged. On t bench, along with the magistrate, sat Capt. Shuldha , A.D.C. to the Lord Lieutenant, and several other gentl men of station were also present. The prosecution was at the suit of Mr. William O'N Daunt, of Kilcasken. The prisoner was placed at the table. He is a young in of military appearance and bearing, and stood in an er( posture as if on parade, and seemed, judging from kis a pearance, to be perfectly at ease and sure of the justice his claim. He gave his name in a firm and manly voice, Vincent O'Neill Daunt, having no certain place of residen in this country, except Kilcasken. Mr. William O'Neil Daunt, sworn, deposed that the pi soner was an impostor and a vagrant. He never heard him before May last, when he received a letter having 1 Quebec post-mark, which stated that the writer had seen advertisement in a newspaper for him as Lord Vinci O'Neil Daunt, and duly informing him (Mr. Daunt) tl the writer was the person. Moreover, it appeared that sum of L 2,000 had been offered for information respec'i this Lord Vi scent O'Neill Daunt; that this fellow (poi', ing to the prisoner) came to his house last Wednesday, t said that he was the identical person, when he pushed h out, and desired him to be off, but he would not go, and slated on stopping, when he pushed him away as a him guard impostor, yet he persibted in remaining all Wedn, day night, when he sent for the police and gave him charge. s The bench then called on the prisoner for his defers He seemed in no way abashed by the evidence of 14 Daunt, but proceeded in a very connected and empin. manner to state as follows :—That lie believed that evi one in this neighbourhood was well acquainted with father, the present Mr. O'Neil Daunt ; that he (the p saner) was born before marriage, and that when taken to baptised, the minister (the Rev. Mr. Meade) refused to so until he first married his mother. When his father co sensed be was then baptised, and the registry was nit, in the church books at Ballymoney and afterwards Desertserges Church. That he was given out nurse, and that his nurse substituted her own s who was afterwards put forward in the world by I% Daunt, but the imposition was found out, and ad', tisements were put in the newspapers for him. That remembered well the last time he saw his father. That spoke kindly to him and gave him half a sovereign to pu chase clothes. That he enlisted in the army. That he vi stationed in Belfast with his company in the year 18, That while there he saw a letter in the Freeman giving account of the imposition referred to, and anxiously aski for information respecting the real Vincent O'Neil Dau , This letter was signed by Mr. Daunt, the same gentlest; now before them, and he repeated the letter fully frk memory, until interrupted by— The Court stated that, notwithstanding be could prc all he said to be true, he had no right whatever to en forcibly the residence of Mr. Daunt. .._ .

But arrived, and having taken a seat ou the bench, Dr. Hohn was called, who, with the magistrates and Mr. Daunt, b. a private conversation for a long time, of which nothi. could be heard, but it was suspected to have been in ref:- ence to some reports about the town as to the prisone sanity. The prisoner was then examined by Capt. Barry —W born at Nlancli, near Duntnanway. Was away from 11 country since 1838. Is about 36 years of age. That is father there (pointing to Mr. Daunt). Did not do auythi about the matter when first he saw the letter in the Fre man, because he wanted to have things become qu' first. Went to America. Heard there also of his fathe wish to find him out.
