THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance • and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman, wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag •f bones." lie tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. lie then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonder ful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks, bad gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural shows at Birmingham,Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes, had been partly fed with Thorley's food for tittle. Such facts speak for themselves. and we are forged to the conclu sion, that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testiraoay of those wko have tried it.

There is no mistake. It is the settled purpose of a vigorous party among us to establish and pro mote the practice of Confession to the Priest, by the influence and authority of the National Church. As long as it was possible to think that the dispute of the Rev. Alfred Poole, curate of St. Bareabv, Pimlico, with the Bishop of London, might after all be founded. on mutual misapprehensions, or be explained as one of those accidental collisions of authority which take place where duties and rights are loosely defined, we kept silence. But the cor respondence which has now transpired, and which we produce elsewhere, removes all doubt, and places the conduct both of the bishop and the curate in the clearest light. It is no longer the question how much credit is due to the inculpatory gossip of a knot of loose women. The bishop has proceeded on broader and firmer grounds. He does not impeach the motives of Mr. Poole ; on the contrary, he gives his most valuable testimony to the goodness of that gentleman's intentions. But he takes Mr. Poole's admissions as to his own practice—admissions which recur in the published letters—and ho says :—" By them. I am led to regard the course you are in the habit of pursuing with reference to confession as likely to cause scandal and injury to the Church. I feel especially that this questioning of females on the subject of violations of the Seventh Commandment is of dan gerous tendency, and I am convinced, generally, that the sort of systematic admission of your people to confession and absolution, which you have al lowed to be your practice, ought not to take place." This would have been sufficiently explicit for most people. Not so, however, for Mr. Poole. He wants to know just how far he may go in the forbidden path without forfeit ing his position. Be recurs to his interviews with the Bishop, and tries to recall the special in stances respecting which he has given information. In his letter of May 15 he refines on the Bishop's words, asks what particular practice is referred to, and nevertheless is compelled to acknowledge not only that be had been in the habit of receiving his people to confession, butthat in his secret interviews with the female members of his flock, he bad put those very minute questions respecting violations of a particular commandment which the Bishop had signalised as dangerous, and calculated to cause scandal in the Church. Even while complaining of his diocesan for describing; his admission of the people of St. Barnabas to confession as systematic, he owns that he has taught them to regard his questionings and his absolution us the way to peace pointed out by the Church of England ; and he justifies his inquisitorial practices by a permis sion given somewhere in the Prayer-book to the afilicced to " open their griefs ;" as if advice to an householder to open his door were quoted to justify some one in the street inpicking the lock. But time is wasted in pursuing these vain quibbles. Every body knows to what, according to the principles of our common nature, practices like those of Mr. Poole must inevitably lead. Indeed, that gentle man says in one of his letters—" I admit that when persons, male or female, have sought my ministry in confession, I have put to them such questions as have been suggested by the matter confessed, which have appeared to me necessary in order to enable me to (Jive the counsel and advice which the case required." Habetnns covfitentem rewn. After the first confession such questions will be expected, their subject will therefore be mentally dwelt on ; the interview follows, quickening thought and filling the imagination, and thus the whole mind receives a downward direction. According to tie Rev. W. Gresley, one of the leaders of the party with which Mr. Poole acts, " the very shame of the avowal and confession made is a part of the contrition and the cure." That procedure, then, will be observed in the confessional which is most likely to kindle shame. The heart sickens and refuses to fellow out in thought the consequences of a principle so revolting. The practice of confession to the priest at St. Barnabas is avowed, defended, justified, and the Bishop by whose authority the confessor has minis tered for seven years, whose licence he has held, who is responsible for his conduct and the ten dency of his teaching, would have failed egregiously if he had lost any time in putting a stop to prac tices which, whatever else may be said of them, would be fatal to the Church of which he is an officer. He has interposed firmly, but temperately, patiently, and in a spirit of paternal kindness, amounting almost to indulgence, which must exalt his reputation and increase his influence for good, not only in his diocese but throught the kingdom. He has set his mark plainly not only on the prac tice of secretly questioning women on subjects from which modesty shrinks, but on the systematic prac• tice of confession to whomsoever applied. That it might be seen that this was no mere per sonal question, Mr. Poole's local superior, the Rev. Mr. Liddell, had applied to the bishop, praying that he might be substituted for his curate in any proceedings that were taken. The bishop, however, preferred to deal with the case as it came before him, and the revocation of Mr. Poole's license was the result. An appeal from this decision to the Archbishop of the province was the next step, and we now learn its fate. The Archbishop upholds the judgment of Dr. Tait, and says that Mr. Poole must no longer minister in the church of St. Barnabas. It is well that he has done so, be cause had he done otherwise people would have been likely to inquire what was the use of a Chief Shepherd too feeble or too irresolute to defend the flock from noisome intruders Y But Mr. Poole and his friends would greatly err if they were to sup pose that their defeat is a temporary reverse, due to the personal teudenoies of a par icular couple of prelates.

The great meeting held in Sloane-street on Monday night is only a specimen of manifestations which would be repeated in every town iu England, were there the least chance that secret confession to the priest would become a prevalent practice in the Church of Eng land.

FRIGHTFUL MURDER OF A FEMALE AND SUICIDE OF THE MURDERER. Yesterday the town of Gravesend was the scene of the utmost excitement, resulting from the com mission of a frightful murder, and the suicide of the murderer. As an introduction to the facts of this tragedy, it must be stated that, during the past ten days, a man, accompanied by a female who paned as his wife, had been lodging at the house of Mr. Henry Bean, the Royal Standard Beer shop, Terrace-street, Gravesend. The parties ap peared to be on the most amicable terms with each other, and were in the habit of leaving the house daily for the purpose of going into the country to follow their calling, as hawkers of artificial flowers. On Monday evening, after partaking of supper, they retired to rest in their usual chamber, the landlord of the house (Mr. Bean) occupying the chamber adjacent. About five o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. Bean was aroused by a scream, and a strange scratching noise at his chamber door. He immediately jumped out of bed, when he perceived, on entering the passage, that the outside of the door of his chamber was stained with finder -marks of blood, and he then, in consequence of' the direction from whence the screams proceeded, entered the adjacent chamber, when a frightful scene presented itself. It appears that the woman had managed to got back to her own room, where she fell down in a pool ottblood, whilst the man was apparently re clining on the side of the bed, with his throat cut in a frightful manner. Mr. Bean perceiving the nature of the fearful tragedy, instantly gave an alarm, and sent for Dr. Russell, of the Terrace, who immediately attended, but found that his ser vices with regard to the woman were unavailing, as life was extinct. The attention of Dr. Russell was consequently directed to the man ; but the nature of the wound was such that he expired after lingering about 40 minutes. Mr. Superintendent White, of the Gravesend police, subsequently searched the room, and was enabled to find such documents as led him to proceed to London and communicate with the relatives of the unfortunate man ; and they immediately proceeded to Graves end. At the inquest the Jury returned a verdict " That the deceased, Jane Moore, was wilfully murdered by John Knight, and. that John Knight committed suicide whilst labouring un der temporary insanity."

The endorse ment, " Deliver to John Scott or order," is the 1 7 handwriting of Mr. Scott, our security clerk, end was written after the bill came into our possession. I saw Mr. Skeen on the subject on the afternoon of the 26th, and told him they could not part with the cedarjunlesshe would agree to hand the proceeds over to them within a mouth, and leave the bill of lading as a collateral security until they had done so. Ido not remember Mr. Skeen saying he was very averse to the transaction altogether, for that the timber did not belong to them. After some ' discussion a letter was written, containing the terms upon which we would consent to the proposal he made, and he took it away, and the n ext da y returned it signed. Mr. Skean said to me after the failure that he was very sorry the bill was ever lodged with them. The hill of lading was lodged at the docks the same day. Mr. Hayward, clerk at the East and West India Deckhouse, Billiter-square, produced the bill of lading for the 153 logs of timber, by the Glide, front Demerara. It was lodged with them, with the present endorsement, on the 26th May. Mr. Bodkin then applied to have the defendants committed for trial on this evidence. Mr. Skeen then put in a paper denying that he had ever seen the bill of lading referred to until it had been produced in court that day. He also made a statement to the effect that Mr. White was not quite accurate in all he had stated. Mr. Dupre applied to have Mr. Skeen dis charged, as he had not been an active party in the transaction. at a Mr. Bodkin objected, as ho had come in subsequent stage of the proceedings, and adopted his partner's acts. The defendants were then fully , committed for trial, but admitted to bail—themselves in 1,0001. each, and two sureties each of 5001. The sureties were put in, and the defendants left the court. BOW-STREET. —Joseph Sanderson, of 19, New Bond-street, tailor, attended to receive the judg• went of the court in reference to the charge of having addressed indecent language to two little girls, the children of respectable parents, in St. James's -park. Mr. Davies, from the office of the solicitor to the Board of Works, stated that, at the suggestion of his worship, the opinion of an eminent criminal lawyer had been taken upon the question as to whe ther the present charge constituted an indictable offence, and the result confirmed the impression already formed by his worship that it was not. Mr. Lewis hoped his worship would bear in mind the excellence of his client's character, and the dis crepancies which he had pointed out at the last ex amination in support of his argument that the wit nesses were mistaken as to the identity of the defendaM, who was clearly shoWn to have been in his brother's shop at the time of the alleged occur rence. Doubtless Mr. Sanderson had walked into the park for a few minutes, but this was nearly half an hour after the time stated by the park keeper. If his worship had any doubt on these points, it was due to the defendant that he should have the benefit of it. Mr. Jardine said—l have no doubt whatever that the filthy language described by these children was use 3, and used by the prisoner. The case beil g thus proved to my satisfaction, I can inflict uo penalty upon him compared with the total loss of character which the conviction of such an offence as this—an offence which I will not trust myself to describe—must entail upon him. I fine him 40e., and if he does not pay it I commit him for one mouth. The fine was instantly paid.

Never theless few, if any, of the railways starting from Paris pass through a more pleasing country, or one better calculated to convey to a foreigner a fair idea of the agricultural resources of France than the railroad which for the present stops short at Lino gtwdoeehsvbi. ceehl od A paoie t icdo t e: h dba e esuf s t,bi : r e m he t t ot e e hw r otesivvmeai resourcessde tenatl e e fi r eo e lfd i h s ci osa wn n o o mpb ee l un i ac n hdt e eorg o ecu f maa r pat o iiet a nla d ysl and enterprise. From Paris to Orleans the country is familiar enough to must English tourists—thanks, in no small measure, to that little colony of their country men who have established themselves at Tours, in the capital of the " Garden of France." But from Orleans; where the line branches off-to Limo ges, the country is not so well known, and yet it exhibits Some of the richest and most picturesque, and, at the same time, some of the poorest and most desolate districts in France. Before reaching Or leans the railway passes through the great corn and grain district of Seance, which looks like an im mense alluvial plain stretching away ou either side to the horizon, and now covered by rich crops. The appearance of the crops is most satisfactory ; so far as could be judged they give promise of an abun dant harvest, which it is much to be hoped will not be falsified by the rain and cold weather that have set in with a persistence rarely to be met with at this season so far south. Leaving to the right the city which the simple peasant girl of Domremy has made famous through all time and is so rich in historic memories of Englishmen, the railway ciosses the Loire—looking so calm and gentle now that it is with difficulty one can realise the change to a raging torrent that elsewhere leaps from its bed and inundates the countryside—and passes through a long succession of gardens where once the soldiers of Salisbury, Warwick, and Suffolk foraged and many found their last resting-place. The gardeus are as primly lsep 4 , the trees and shrubs as mathematically regular in their outliae as the veriest Dutchman could desire, and yet, despite their formality, they are pleasing to the eye ; perhaps more front the fact that they precede the entry into Sologne—a bleak and desolate tract of country—than from any intrinsic merits of their own. Tue extent of this district must be consider able, for during several hours the train passes over land no more fertle than Woking-oominon. Trees dwarfed and stunted into fantastic shapes are grouped here and there along the hedges of stag nant pools, or on hillocks at a distance. No signs of animal life arc visible, save at rare intervals, such as La Mothe-Beauvron, where during his Presidency of the Republic the Emperor pur chased in 1552 a considerable estate, with the in tention of reclaiming the land. In these localities, which are few and far between, the land is cleared and marled. Brick houses, which have a thoroughly English look, have been built on the borders of the clearings, and roads opened from point to point that give an earnest of the conquest to fertility which during the next few years the genius and industry of man may effect. Most as suredly not the least among the achievements of the Second Empire will be bringing under cultiva tion the Sologne. After la Mothe-Beauvron the country grows more wild and desolate in appear ance. Athin and scanty heather springs from the soil, and scarcely hides its stony nature. Tho stag nant pools are thick with yellow mud, and the few plantations of pines throw a melancholy shale over the Landscape. In some dist icts the soil is heaped . with boulders, the weather-worn and purple sur faces of which contrast strongly with the vegeta tion. Nothing can be more picturesque than the appearance of these rocks, for they look like the debris of some grand Titanic struggle—like the ruins of fortresses built up by giants. Here they are massed into heights steep and rugged,—there they are hurled over the soil without connexion or con tinuity. Although generally so desolate the dis trict is not without interest to the historical stu dent, nor without charms to the lover of landscape ; neither is it so unproductive as might be at first imagined. Not far from the station of Salbris is the once fortified town of Romorantin, which was besieged by the Black Prince, and is now the centre of an important cloth manufactory for army clothing. It was here that Francis I. origi nally intended to erect the edifice which was subse quently built and now exists at Chambard. The Royal Chateau of Chenonceau, the residence of Francis 1., Diane de Poitiers, Catherine de Medi cis, and Mary Stuart, is too well known to need more than a passing notice. At Vierzon, where the railway branches by the left to Bourges and by the right to Limoges, we leave the Sologue and enter the valley of the Cher. We then are in the Berri which George Sand so loves to describe. The town of Vierzon itself was taken, pillaged, and de stroyed by Richard Co.nir de Lion, and again by the Black Prince. Indeed, from this point down. to Limoges the country is filled with historical sou venirs of the period when the Kings of England were Dukes of Guyenne and Aquitaine and lords of Limousin. Berri is also the seat of several very important iron works, which at the present moment are suffering from the general depression of trade. From Argenton to Limoges the country is pictu resque, and well deserves the name of La Petite Suisse," which is popularly given to it. The whole surface of the country is broken into hill and dale, and the fields separated one from the other by hedges which break the monot my of the landscape, although at the expense of the soil. In parts, although wild, the scene never wears the desolate appearance of the Sologne. Rivers and mountain streamlets leap down from rock to rock ) and, sparkling in the sun, are led by a system of irriga tion to fertilise the hillsides and pasture lands of the district, as i s practised in Lombardy. The chesnut now appears for the first time, and, however agreeable it may be to look upon, one cannot help regretting that the inhabitants should be compelled to eat its fruit in lieu of bread. The cattle grazing are small, and have a Welsh or High land look ; and as the day advances the train draws near to Limoges, the ancient capital of the Limo vices, and the Stoke-upon-Trent of France. Unfortunately the weather has been most unpro pitious all day—a heavy sky, overcast from the morning, and a constant drizzling rain, which when it leaves off is replaced by a species of Scotch mist, more than sufficient to damp the enthusiasm of others than the Limousin. But neither rain, nor mist, nor bad roads could keep them away. They are now swarming in from all parts. All the hotels are filled by the local gentry and the authorities of the twelve departments. Prices of the moat extravagant kind are asked, and there seems to .be a vague idea that the visit of the Prince is to - be the occasion of many making fortunes.
