TIIORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE. - It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious art'cle of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is werld-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 w'th a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman, wrote, stating that be had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." lie tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. lie then bought some of Thorey's food ; and be says the effect was wonder ful. The horse rapidly grew fat,and in the course of a few weeks, Wad gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, Ikc., 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 conclu sion, that its celebrity arises solely trom its own intrinsic merits, and the great dem and for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimosy 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. THE MERCANTILE MARINE SERVICE ASSOCIATION. DEPUTATION TO THE BOARD OF TRADE . I A deputation. compri,it!g Mr. R. W. Crawford, T., Mr. H. G. Langton, M.P., Mr. Gard, M.P., Mr. A. W. Young, M.P., Mr. R. Davey, Mr. Mark Whitwell, Mr. T. Stevens, Mr. H. Ed wards, Captains Avery, Rowe, Holman, Stayers, ironmonger, and Mr. Jackson, sec retar y of tla e Mercantile 'Marine Service Association, had an interview yesterday with the Rlght Hon. W. Henley, President of the Board of Trade, with a view of inducing the Government to grant a charter to incorporate the Mercantile Marine Service of the country. The Earl of Donoughmore, vice president of the board, Mr. Booth, a nd Captain Walker were also present. Mr. Crawford, M.P., introduced the dep utation. Mr. Langton, M.P., presented an address from the Bristol Chamber of Commerce, praying a revi sion of the Merchant Shipping Act of 1854. Mr. Henley said he found in a handbill which had been sent him, referring to a meeting held on Wednesday, that three objects were stated which were not in an ordinary charter. They were the first three—the removal of all burdens from ship ping, to reform and simplify the act of 1854, and amend the present system of examination, &e. He did not think the Crown would be advised to grant a charter which was to deal with par ticular interests in the way suggested. The latter portion of the bill—the formal ion of schools and a an ge r d mariners—was legislating establishment of homes and pensions for d gwoa n wellthat worthy subject it t f a ei r able that it should be applied in a general way to all the ports, and not limited to any particular districts. Mr. Crawford said a feeling had been expressed at Liverpool that shipowners should be excluded from the council, and that it should be confined to mariners. Now, it was thought very desirable, for the well-being of the service, that shipowners should not be shut cut as suggested. With respect to the parties who had signed the memorial, he was assured that the signatures bad been obtaieed simply on the ground of urging the Government to grant a charter, and without any reference to any handbill or other matter. _ _ _ Tne Stand Plate. Clam Webster . Tiari Mr. Henley said the objects of the deputation were twofold—one was for a charitable purpose, and the other to enable them to bring their grievances with greater force before Parliament. Now, for the charitable part a charter might be obtained, but for the other portion one would not. But he would entreat them to give the matter the fullest consi deration. It was most desirable that the principal ports, such as Liverpool and others, should be agreed, and that this great charitable jnititution should not be for any particular ports, but applied in a general way throughout them all. Alr. Crawford said the advice and recommenda tiou of the right hon. gentlema❑ would commaud the mo't serious atteni ion of the association, and he trusted that they would be able to secure the una nimity of the ports in carrying out the proposed undertaking. _ _ _ Mr. Henley earnestly hoped they would.

New colours were presented yesterday to the Portsmouth division of Royal Marine Light fantry, in the .Head-quarter Barrack-square, Forton. The court-martial instituted at Portsmouth, for the trial of Ensign J.. J. Scott, of the 47th Foot, terminated yesterday. The prisoner read a long defence in vindica ion and extenuation of the offences alleged against him; and the court pro ceeded to deliberate upon their verdict, which will be submitted to the Commander-iu-Chief before being promulgated. The ()wear, 91, screw, Captain C. Frederick, bent sails yesterday at Portsmouth. The Gurnee, 31, screw, Captain T.

Rear-Admiral Sir Baldwin W. Walker, K.C.8., Aide-de-Camp to the Queen and Surveyor-General of the Navy, 'visited the ships fitting for service in Woolwich dockyard on Wednesday. About half-a-dozen iron guns, the first fruits of the new establishment at Woolwich, were yesterday conveyed to the proof-butt at the extremity of the Arsenal, by means of Boydell's traction engine, to be submitted to a primary proof—namely, to be fired with two rounds of powder and solid shot. The long-contested difficulty of arriving at the method of a correct fusion of metals for the purpose required has now, it is hoped, to a certain degree been overcome, and the enormous cost and length ened expenditure of the . establishment may com mence yieleiog some equivalent produce. The result of the various tests of fire, water, sun, searching, Ste , through which these guns must be rigidly tried before they can be passed for service, and ou which the character of the establishment mainly depends, is looked to with considerable interest. .

BARBER A good man struggling with affliction is, accord ing to the old heathen saying, a spectacle for the gods. If we might confound times and places, we should say that the old shadowy worthies of Olympus and the Capitol must, upon this prin ciple, have received 'the most intense satisfaction fr,An the.relations lately existing at Norfolk Is!and betw, - eri one Major Child and hat unfortunate Mr. Barbe•' of wh•:se \trongful condrinnaiion and sutler _ ings al: tilt, vvrld We a‘:,l ab gut. to call the attt , ution of reader , to a wry a_l , l story ; many of the dead are ot a wri unsav ,, tiry character, but this we cannot help. The shame is in doing such things, notin denouncing them to public indignation. We are well aware that in telling the tale in the fallowing fashion , wo shall be liable to the reproach of relying upon an -ex parte statement. We take, however, Major Child's story front his own lips, and Mr. B , ,rber is not heard in rely. This is story whic;: , Ml;jor Child himself, anxious to place his conduct in the point of view most favourable-to himself, would have us accept as truth. Better than he himself has re . . presented ii, his conduut could. not have been — worse, infinitely worse, it may have been—htv, we slut Mi. Barber out of Court, and take the account of the relations . between Iris cruel adversary and himself from the adversary's own HO. Even so, what a tale I It is right to premise that the following narra tive was extracted from Major Child a day or two ago by a committee of the House of Coinmout. : Major Child was commandant of Norfolk- I.;land at the time when Mr. Barb4r- and Fletcher, his guilty partner, disembarked, as convicts, at that miserable place. Applicati-ms were made to Mjor. Child, by pereons who would haver-been willing t& employ Mt. B aber in the capacity of clerk, but their .application:4 were sternly refused. There were regulations, according to Major Child's state ment, made by Sir Eardley Wilmot, the Governor, to the effect that no prisoner should be employed ,in any light labour until he had been twelve months on the island.- This was a general order with re gard to all convicts. It appeared, however, that Fletcher, the man who really perpetrated the crime of which Mr. Barber had been wrongfully accused and wrongfully convicted, was from , the time he arrived on the island employed as a medical dis- penser, and never in any other way. He had a private apartment and superior rations. Augustus Dalmas, who was convicted of the murder on Bat tersea-bridge, was similarly employed as a chemist. Several other great criminals—murderers among others—were kept at light occupations. Now, Mr. Barber, a man of education, of weak frame, and with his health shattered by the persecutions he had undergone, was immediately upon his arrival in the island made a " wardsman. Major Child describes the duties of the office thus He was put to the offensive employment of cleaning and scrubbing out the urinals used by about 200 pri soners." He was compelled to sleep at night among these wretched creature;. The natural con sequence was that his health gave way, and re peatedly he had .to be sent to hospital, but as fre quently as he came out he was consgued again t , r his noisr.me occupation. The medical superinten dent at la.t, upon his own autho ity, as we read Major Chilr''s story, sent him to bleak stones upon the road as a relief, and such relief to a !ruin wi!o was spaiding one week of his life in a hospital and the treat week out of it, Mijar Child, however, arr;ears to have grudged even this alight nvasui e of relief in the shape of open air and outdoor ex-,t c'se to the man whom he had dqertnined to 1.. f mby suffering. few Jaye after Mr. Barber had been set to stone-breaking on the roads Major Child was out taking an airing on horseback, an ,as would have it, came across the unfortunate convict. Be pulled up and said, " What do you here ?" Mr. Barber answered, "Sir, I am ordered to break stones by the ; medical superintendent." Major Child's reply was simple, but to the purpose—" I will not have that." He rode up to the station, and vve orders that this unfortunate get_l'eman snould be confined once more to his loathsome occupation. _ _ . One day, when he was engaged upon it, Major Child came in and asked him " What is your objec tion to cleaning your ward ?". Mr. Barber answered, "I have made no objection ; it is destroying my health, but neve made no objection." Maier Child asked "How does it injure your health ?" Mr. Barber endeavoured to explain that the work was the most disgusting that could be imagined ; he cared net how hard the task might be which was imposed upon him in lieu of an office so humiliat ing and so nauseous ; but all was unavailing. Ma or Child simply rejoined, as before, "How does it injure your health?" Mr. Barber replied, "Inde pendently of the exhalations, I have had wet feet every morning from going out in a heavy dew." Major Child, a very strong-minded man, answered,. "Then put you; shoes on." Mr. Barber replied, " That is of no us , they will soon get filled with water." "Then take them off!" With this humour ous rejoinder Major Child strode away, according to Mr. Barber's account, laughing at his own wit. The only modification of the story which Major Child could suggest to the Committee of the House of Commons the other day was, " I do not think I laughed at his misery." With this acknowledged that the account might stand. This seate of things continued for a time, and Major Child kept this unfortunate gentleman, whom untoward fate had placed iu his power, hard at work upon his daily occupation of emptying and scrubbing the urine-tubs of 200 convicts. He was repeatedly entreated to have mercy, bat mercy he would not have. It was not until the medical superintendent and chaplain threatened that if he would not liberate Mr. Barber from an occupation which was killing him they would hold him responsible for the death of the innocent convict thet he desisted from this form of persecution. Mercy he had at last, but this mercy consisted in setting Mr. Barber to hard work in a field with a chain gang. The work that he was set to perform was of the h-avioat kind to which the human frame can be subjected ; but this was the slightest part of the story. Among the gang with which he was work ing were the friends of two murderers against whom Mr. Barber had forrner!y given evidence. In terror of his life, he pray ed to be discharged from such companionship, but Major Child was inexorable. At t , is point we must really pause, and ask of our readers to realize to themselves the horrors of -uch a situation. What days 1 What ieghts 1 What sleep ! What wakings 1 All the time that this poor-gentleman—innocent as be was of the offence with which he had been charged—was kept at work with these wretches, he could never have known one moment which was not marked by is own separate agony. He was waiting to be murdered ! Is there any kind or degree of guilt of which a human being cin be capable which could have merited such a punishment as this ? In the case of the very wont murderer who has been convicted before our criminal tribunals we hang the man, and there is au end of it. He is told exactly when the blow must fall, he is provided with every sort of consolation which may serve to mitigate his un fortunate position until the inevitable moment ; but he is not kept day after day, and week after week, fumbling the halter off his throat. Think of what it must have been ! Endeavour to realize but five minutes of ouch misery ! Now, what was Mr. Barber's conduct, throughout? Hero is the testimony of an eye-witness, the chaplain on Nor folk Island ;—" I have never known a prisoner of the Crown who has been subjected to greater wretchedness. I rejoice to be able to add that I have never seen an instance of more dignified suffer ing, accompanied by invariably consistent conduct." At last the tuonaeu tof release came. Major Child was dismissed fur general misconduct from his post, and Mr. Barber was free. His sufferings have become the subject of investigation before a Committee of the House of Commons. The committee have de cided, that although, according to the rules and practice of the house, they are precluded fromen tering into the question of pecuniary compensation, yet they express their opinion that Mr. Barber has strong claims on the favourable consideration of the Crown. Such a recommendation must, of course, receive attention. Mr. Ba:ber wi ll obtain some. slight and insufficient compensa tion for the nun of his life. It is, of course, well that it should be so at last, and we rejoice that it is . so ; bht, looking at the question from a public point of view, we can only h-pe that Mr. Barber's case may become the basis for an improvement of the law of criminal 'appeal. The want of power to obtain a new trial in a doubtful case has hitherto been a deep blot on our system of criminal jurisprudence. The Home Secretary has authority to pardon and release, which of course, can only be exercised in a clear case of innocence. We have, besides, th e C our t o f Appeal on technical points. There is, however, no machinery provided for rev iewing a doubtful case from the beginning to the end.—Times.

This morning's accounts from Cork mention that since her arrival at Queenstown the Niagara has been engaged in coaling. "No intelligence," says the Examiner, " has as yet been received of the Agamemnon, and considerable anxiety ha. been evinced for net reappearance, as, of course, until slit, joins the nppoin' ed rendezvous, no certain or ssitistactory st ps can b:. tikon. A spee.ly jun It ion aild recomineiicement of the project would be the more desirable, as from a review of the logbooks of the Cunard anti Transatlantic steamers returns have been made which would prove the present month to be one peculiarly favourable for the ace:)mplish 'limit of the ent eTrise. These returns show that the ocean is on an average subject to one ht , rricsue in serer' days of the month of June ; ono iii 22 days in July, ar.d one in nine days in August. sr,is would make th,, iminedia'e attempting of the work most important to its final success. The quantity of cable still remaining on board kJth snips is, amply sufficient for the purpose, failures tike the rece:it one having been foreseen and pro vided against. At half-past Bou Tuesday morning the Black Eatzle, Admiralty yacht, with his Royal Highness Prince Alfred and anite on board, arrived at Queenstown from Valencia. It is said on hoard the vessel that the Prince was extremely anxious to await the arrival at Valencia of the Agamemnon, pr the receipt of intelligenee '6f r— her safe y, and • wrote to hi 4 Royal mother for permission to stay some additional days. A telegraphic message, however, directed his. Royal Highness not to remain longer, and the yacht left direetly.

According to the' Clomnel Chronicle, the blight has actually made , its appearance in several places in that locality, but, as often remarked, statements like these are of annual occurrence since the first appearance of the fatal scourge 12 years since, and for the last seven or eight seasons there has been happily little or no foundation for the alarm created by a few isolated cases of the old disease. DREADFUL SITICIDE. ,•••••••....., ••• •.• • Great consternation was created this afternoon by the announcement that the Rev. Dr. Sadleir, one of the Senior Fellows of Trinity College, and Senior Dean for this year, had committed suicide last night, while on a visit at his brother's, the Rev. Ralph Sadleir, rector of Castleknock, beyond the Phoiaix Park. The unfortunate gentleman left tbe dinner table about 6 o'clock, and, being missed as evening wore on, search was made, and he was found at 10 o'clock suspended by a leather strap from a tree, which overhung a sunken fence. When cut down life was completely extinct. The deceased was elder son of the late Provost Sadleir, the immediate predecessor of the present Provost, the Rev. Dr. ilillcDonnell ; he was about '5O years of age. The Rev. A. S. Hart, the Senior of the Juukr Fellows, succeeds in turn to the seat at the Senior Board. BANK OF FRANCE. .

YACUTING.—Tat GRAND CIE(ALLENGE CIIP.—The race for the Grand Challenge Cup took place yesterday. The conditions of this prize (established in 1856) are that it must be won twice by the same yacht to become the permanent property of the owner. The first year it was won by the Flirt; last year by the Little Mosquito (Mr. E. T. Buluier), which was the favJurite on the present occasion. The only vessels tbat started against her were the Hawk (Mr. Hampton), the Valentine (Mr. Fradgley), and the Rover (Mr. Buckr.ed). The race, from Enth to a mile beyond Chapman Point or Creek, was won by the Little Mosquito, but owing to the want of wind it was a very slow affair, the start taking place at about a gull-ter ptist 12, and the winner not getting in till after dark. NARROW Escerz.--0 few days ago the crew of the Point of Ayr lifeboat perceived signals at the telegraph atatioe, directing attention to a vessel in distress four miles to the westw:ird of the station. The life-boat puil -d off directly, :and arrived at the sinking vessel only in time to save the crew, consisting of two old men, who in a few minutes 'must have lost their lives, as they were on the crosstrees of the mast up to their waists in water, with a rapidly rising tide. The vessel was the Betty and Peggy, of P.eaunEaris, with slates from Bangor for Liverpool, and one of the poor fellows, just as the vessel was sinking under him, failed to gain the rigging and was under tl-e water, but he providentially reached a rope by which he was enabled to gain the crosstrces, *and to hold on until rescued. -`l ~~ ~ J od r - body whose dividends are guaranteed, and who hare no more connection with India th'n the holders of Consols or of railway shares. In fact, the so. ca.led comp my has been only a cumbrous machine of double government, having a nominal identity with the corporation which sent out Clive and Coots to conquer. Any friend of the company who does not wish it to realize the line-- " Superfluous lags the veteran on the stage," might well be glad that its existence has been brought to a close at, a period when it has beComi powerless for good, and can only exist aR the ill. strument of intriguers and the obstacle of efficient administrw ion. And yet it has cost a good deal to abolish the East India Company. To lay that ghost of a great cor poration has exercised the skill of the leaders of two pArties during six mouths of Parliamentary debates. LA no man despise a vested interest, however small, or its possessor, however humble, obscure, or foolish. Men will tight for their own, and fierbe is the conflict when the public storms the citadel of self-interest.' Trio Colin of Di rectors and their partisans have waged an obstinate and:not entirely unsuccasSful war against twd successive Ministries and the great mass .of the nation. That the Com p Joy, or rather the system which went _by.that name, was felt to have, forfeited the Confidence of the country by the catastrophe of 1857 can-hardly be denied. If the Company were the Lords of India they had lost it, and the British tn;orle,' by unheard-of efforts, and the d , FI)I,y ut o.er g y witu out paralle', are just reconquering the dominion which had fallen from the grasp of the corporation. India had become, as it were, the property of the salvors, and it was within the right of the nation to assign to it an efficient Government for the time to come. The abolition of the company was resolved on, and so genert.lly accepted that the transference of its power to the Crown has hardly been seriously resisted in the House of Commons. . Yet private interest and the power of an interested clique have been sufficient to ovet throw one Ministry and to modify the con duct of another, it has required the assiduous atten tion of Parliament and the press to carry through a bill which rio one openly ventured to oppose. Happily, public opinion is now too powerful to be withstood by any body of men, however wealthy and strong in social position and united by complex ramifications with a large Parliamentary brigade. It has been reserved for the Ministry of Lord Derby to carry out the long-expected change in the Go vernment of India, and the President of the. Board of Control deserves no little credit for his exertions and the success which has attended them.. He has fought the bill with skill and firmness through com mittee. Amid the complaints of a dearth of genius it is gratifying to find a man little over thirty years of ace who has shown hintseif title) for tha highest postl in a Parliamentary Government.—Tintes. THE REJECTION OP THE CHURCH-RATE BILL. Although the bill did not leave the Cominous till the 9ch of June, by the 2d of .July above 1,800 petitions were presented, and on Friday, prior to the debate, as many as 921 were laid on their lord ships' table. Only 400 have been presented ou th• other side. The division list, taken in connection with the list of pain, shows an apparent determiantiou on the part of the Whigs to repair the error into which many of the members of the party fell in the lower house. Not only did the late ministerial leader in the Lords, Earl Granville, strenuously .back the Duke of Som-rset, by voice and vote, but the Dukes of Bedford and Argyll, and Lords Be'per, Cheshatn, Ebury, Foley, Wodehouse, Bessberough, Fortcseue, Mautulay, Fitzwilliatn, and Truro, are found among the snpporters of the bill, and the Marquisof Lansdowue and Lord Clarendon, though in the house that night, were absent rom the division . The bishops, inolnding the lately promoted Evan gelicals, almost to a man supported the continuance of the tax. Sixteen were present, and eight sent proxies. Those who neither voted nor sent proxies were the Archbishops of York and Dublin, and the Bishops of St. David's, Ely, and Chester. E 1 . SPAP - v COTTI7: I .7MENT . OP - INDIA (.7 ,c. 7.2 • The India Bill waa ie'al a third time dpitaNeh: in the 'louse ! , 1 Commons last night.. 'No pos . T tion is expected in the L.,:rds, and we may accord ingly consider that the. measure Will it. a few days, • become . law.. .So , ends the great East India Com pany. ... It is impossible to contemplate the extinc tion of so mighty and hiStorica/ aeorporation with out 4 feelingeimilar to ;that with ; which Gibbon : heard the monks chanting in the Flavian Amphi theatre, and beheld the colvs feediniin the Roman - Fcieuen. For good or evil, a power has passed away from the earth. After au existence of more than • two centuries and a-half the corporation which was called into being by a charter ofElizabeth will be extinguished by the Royal assent expressed by the . Commissioners of Victoria. In any case we . should be disposed to observe the maxim of speaking nothing but good of the dead, and even if the Com, , pany bad been no more distinguished than that which hunts for furs in the wilds of British Awe- ric a or which in past years traded with the Levant we should feel bound to respect a corporation Which traces back its origin to the close of the sixteenth ceurury. But the Eat India Company has a tight to soni..ahing more than a decorous .and respectful epitaph. For a hundred years it has been a con quering Power, and now that its time is drawing to a close it leaves the mother country possesaed.of an empire which surrounding nations may and do envy. The East India Company is a type of the agencies which have transformed the England of the Tudors into the Eugland of the present time. It Las been from our earliest memory one of the chief beae:s ot tuis country, and the subject of jealousy - and admiration among those nations of the Conti nent whose days of colonisation and cone - it - tett hate had their trial and their failure. Great exploits and great crimes have marked its history in - the times when it was independent, -and really was what it only pretended to be .in after days - —a corporation trading, acquiring terri tory, and carrying on wars in foreign lands with-but the slightest control from its own Govern ment. Some speakers have dwelt upon • tious, which were at times flagrant, and its *m e . 'tice to indiiiclintlOhich was often undeniable, but we are content to allow the evil to be buried with the generations which priduced it, and to remett • - ber only the genius, valour, _!.l.lpciseverance of the men who converted a litLe ..act-try -on the Hooghly and two stations on the Ocrienrandel and Malabar Coasts into the capital cities of the greatest Asiatic Earpire which now exists. We think that with . every succeeding year, and with every advance of sound inquiry, the spirit which found a gratiflca- - tion ih tormenting Clive and Hastings, and in carp ing at Wellesley, will be more and more repro. bated. There have been instances of its revival at the present day, but whether it be that a Burke or a Sheridan is wanting,, or that a better judgment`- prevails in the community, certain it is that the. shafts of censure have fallen powerless, upon those who have vigorously upheld the supremacy oftheir: countrymen iddistant regions. England may, then, justly honour the name and memory of the great Company which is associated with the most extraordinary conquest ever achieved by arms or policy. We may all feel a pang at hear ing of the last meeting in Leadeuhall,-street, but: our regret is rather historical and traditional than practical. Every one must feel that the East India Company bad lived its allotted term, and that if it now descends full of years and henours into the. grave, it is best for its own reputation and the rub lie good. In fact, the East India Company had fur many years ceased.to exist as anindependentpower.- What was called by the name of the Company was an apparatus by whiCh a certain number" of men in some degree conversant" with Indian 'affairi were brought together and allowed a voice in the govern- - mem of the British possessions! iu Asia.. Since the act of William Pitt theind ependence ofthe Company 13 as bc enbut ashado w. Legislation within the pres nit cantury took away the exclusive trade telncua and China, then prohibited trade altogether, and within the last few years has given the Croon the nomi nation of a p'iitioa of the directors.
