THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- 1 nis 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 abort. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley'a food ; ,and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks ) . tad gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for itcan proceed alone from the good opinion a.nd• testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. • Just published, price ls., post free, in an Envelope, for 13 stamps, SELF -PRESERVATION.—A Medical Treatise on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System, and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy siology of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela tions. To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life witlt!n Life,'-' and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina tion, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li cen'tiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits. irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. 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 penalties 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 infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

TILE 3IE3IBEIIS FOR-_EPINI3URGII AND' Oar Wednesday afternoonar meeting - of the inha • bitants of -Edinburgh was held in Queen-street Hall, there, called by, Mr. Cowan .and Mr. Black, the city meriaberS; to afford these gentlemen an opportunity of giving an account - of their stewardship during the last session. - The Lard Provost presided: The meeting was crowded to excess: . My. COWAN first addreised the meeting: He said,—During . the short eighteen months which have elapsed since-I-last addressed my eoh stituents, three events, unprecedented in their mag _ nitude—l should rather say three crimes of un paralleled. atrocity..--hive occurred, Whiehiirill long stand out in broad relief iii the,history of our land: I refer,-in, the first place, to the Indian mutiny,. with. its black train Of indescribable horrors ; Secondly, to that system so long carried on in vari ous commercial an.stlanking establishment .this , oduntry, and in therthree kingdoms—for no one of them, 1 think, had any great advantage over the others—whereby, through a long-continued, in some cases, system of deception and violence multitudes of - our fellow-countrymen and countrywomen have, been reduced 'from what they considered a short time before a condition of entire independence to hapless'and deplorable.penury. (Hear.) It would be well if these calamitous events were regarded, as beacons for the future—(hear)—by which every, possible security,might be . obtained to prevent the recurrence of such dreadful distress. The .third atrocious crime to-whiclr I refer is that fohl conspi racy against our ally the Emperor of the French: — (hisses, laughter, anduproar)—our tried and faithful ally. (Renewed hisses, " Oh, oh !" and some applause.) Whatever any of . you may think of the state of liberty in France, or . the means byWhich its present ruler reached his throne, at all events he is the choice of the French people—(cheers and hisses) — and as such is entitled - to our respect. I fervently thank Almighty God that that foul design was happily not successful; and that its only effect on this side of the Channel was the destruction of the Government then -in • office. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Cowan proceeded to say that he had felt it to be his thity to vote for the. moti on of -Milner Gibson against that of the Government on the question Ail which they were then divided: (Cheers and -hisses.) lie thought that the -French Govein-: ment was perfectly, eirtited - to Make the re-' presentations they did at that time, to Lord . Pal merston, and he could never se e any ground for the charge of attempted dictation in their doing ,W _thought Lord .Palmerston was not to. blame for introducing a Conspiraey.l3ill, but he thought the bill that .seas introduced was very unfit for its_ object, which was to give secu rity in time-to come against similar . attempts: on the- life Of the French Emperor. After vindicating,. that Vote at some length he alluded.to'Mr. Bright's speeches at l3irmingham, deprecating in particular the attacks he had made on the . House of Lords.. The tendency of these speeches was, he feared, to • incite the humbler, against the upper classes of so ciety. (A voice—" - No.") tiVell, he sincerely hoped they would not ; but it appeared to him that Mr. Bright, when talking of the: £200,000,000 which certain wars had cost the nation, had forgot to put into the opposite scale the inestimable blessings which we enjoyed of security from foreign inva sion, and the priceless rights and liberties which we had inherited from"our ancestors, and which he hoped we should be .enabled to transmit unim 'paired to our posterity. (Cheers.) Mr. Cowan, after making explanations as to his conduct in re ference to. the University Bill, the Annuity-tax Bill, and other Scottish measures, expressed his willingness to acrree-to an impartial inquiry into the working of the Forbes Mackenzie Act and his desire-to have the billetting grievance removed. Mr.- BLACK followed, and was- received with loud applause. • After a few introductory remarks, he Said,—When I first offered myself for your suffrages I professed myself favourable to the general,policy of Lord Palinerston's• 'Government—(hisses and applause)_-_-.Land consequently on entering the House of Colignons I took .my seat behind the Treasury benches with- the. attention .of . supporting that Government, though taking•leave• to • N ote against them when I thought-them-manifestly wrong. The night of the 'l9th Of . Febthary . 'btoke up the Pal merstOn Government • , dexterously drawn amendment to the second reading. of the Conspiracy Bill, to-the surprise -not only of the nation, but of Parliament- itself. •I. say -surprise,- for I- know that many members who voted for the amendment had no intention that their votes should be interpreted as a vote of want _of confidence in the Ministry. They. simply • voted that .they - regretted Lord Clarendon had not sent a written despatch to Count WaleWski. Had an open and distinctive vote of want of confidence been proposed, it would have been rejected by a large majority. (Hisses and applause.) 'As far as Y am myself concerned, I do not regret the change .of my seat from the Treasury to the Opposition. benches. I rather like it. Opposition is more congenial to my 'disposition, and more in accordance with my previous political life. (Laughter- and cheers.) To the great bulk of the House of Commons it is personally of no conse quence who are the party in power ; but -it cannot fail to be a matter of interest to every right thinking man that those who are intrusted with the management of our affairs should be men in whose intellg,ence, heneSty, patriotism, sound poli tical opinions, and administrative powers the country may have confidence. But lately, who held so highly - the eonfidenc of the public a's Lord Palmerston ? At the last election almost every Liberal candidate professed his confidence in him, and the Country. unequivocally xesponded to these professions. (Hisses.) Now that something like an accident has- hurled him from his high estate, it seems to be looked on as an evidence of great liberality and independence to speak - slightingly and reproachfully of the man to whom this coun try owes an inextinguishable 'debt •of gratitude — (hisses and cheers)-for the _true British' courage and sound political wisdom he displayed in bring ing his country safely and honourably out of one of the most fearful struggles in which she ever was engaged—(cheers and hissing)—and not less for the honourable peace by _which he procured for his' country all the objects for which the contest was entered on, in . spite, of the crooked diplomacy of Russia and the adverse interests and designs of France. (Cheers.) The present Ministry attained to power under the pretence that their predecessors were disposed to truckle to France, and that they themselves had a superior regard for the honour, dignity,-and reputation of England. It is, however, obvious, from his recent outrage on Portugal in the case of the Charles and Georges, that the Emperorof France forms no such exalted estimate of their regard for national honour. ("Hear;" and hissing.) - Had Lord Palmerston been at the head of the English Government, the Emperor would have thought twice —(loud and prolonged applause, and some hisses)— before he would, have insulted and wronged the oldest and firmest ally of England, and before he would have contemptuously thwarted the people of this country in 'their long-continued and philan thropic efforts to abolish the, accursed slave trade. (Cheers.) The Ethperor. would have hardly ven tured-to violato,international law, and thus give an example and encouragement to the greater despots of 4irope, which they_ will be too ready to avail thethselves 0f,.t0 set justice at defiance, and. insult and trample on the weak. (Voices—" Lord Pal merston and Naples," " Hungary, Hungary.") The Emperor is 'a shrewd politician, and knows the men he has to deal with. Will any of those who were so sensitive to their country's honour in the case of Lord Clarendon's blunder in sending an oral rather than a written answer to Count Walewski move as an amendment 'to the addreis, or some other Minis terial motion, that it is to be regretted that the English Government entered no public protest _against this tyrannical, conduct of France, this out rage on public justice . and on our ancient ally ? We have mist installed in - the place of a Whig, a Tory Government—(A voice, "Six and half-a dozen");---and we sometimes 'hear even Liberals,' say, even men who rejoice in the name of advanced Liberals, speak of this turn of the wheel as a national blessing. (Hear, hear.) No doubt, good often comes out of evil, and I hope it will be so in this case.. (Hear, hear.) The ministry have been praised for one or two good measures passed during last session, but we should never forget that those were gained in spite of them, and that their weak ness, not their will, consented—(hear, cheers, and hisses),—and that these are the men who most THE NAVY. Yesterday a telegraphic despatch was..received at; the Admiralty, under date Madrid, Nov. 2, liOuncing the arrival of the screw frigate Euryalus, 41, Captain. J. -W. Tarleton, C. 8., with Prince Alfred on board, at Ferrol. - The Erebus, 16-gun iron steam battery, which has been fired at from the Snapper gunboat, to test the effect of shot at 400 yards' range (three of which penetrated her side last week and did so much da mage that a screen has been hung over the holes to prevent the " eye of prying curiosity"' from knowing too much about it), is to be withdrawn from her position -in the line of fire from the Excellent, and moored up at Portsmouth harbour, and the Meteor, 14;glin steam battery, of 150-horse power, is to take her place for further experiments. The Meteor, we believe, has wooden bulwarks, the supposed impenetrable iron plating being affixed thereon. The Erebus, we believe, was iron-built entirely, and although the 32:pound shot did not do the damage of the 68's, they did enough to show .sueli a bulging internally from the indentation they made externally as led to the belief that they Would ultimately penetrate if concentrated. Yesterday intelligence was received that the steam transport Medway, with a company of Ar 'tillery on board, from Woolwich to Ceylon, hadput into Pernambuco, all well, on 'the sth October. The Agamemnon, 91, screw two-decker, was taken into dock at . Portsmouth yesterday for repairs.. The Ville* 6, iron screw troopship, which broke her main shaft on her last passage from the Mediterranean, was taken out of dock and into the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday, to make room for the Urgent, - 6, - screw troopship, Commander M'Donald, in order to.ascertain the damage done to the latter by her groUnding off Chichester -on on Monday night last. The Committee of Investigation on - Dockyard Eeonomy, consisting of Rear-Admiral Robt. Small, K.H. and C. 8., Mr. R. Lowe, Mr. H. Chatfield,. and Mr. A.

GRESITAMILiFE AS§URANCH;fOCLETJ: it • • — l .kirs wits The ordinary general meeting of the share4old, and policy-holders in this flourishing society held yesterday afternoon, at the head offices of I society, 37, Old Jewry. The chair was occupied William Tabor, Esq. The routine business having been transacteel, the CHAIRMAN called upon the secretary to read the annual report of the directors. ' The Actuary and Secretary (Edwin. J. Farren, Esq.), then-read the report, as follows • " The directors have to submit, as their report:to . the general . meeting, in conformity with the re quirements of the deed of settlement, the following statement of the results of the tenth financial year, ending July 31, 1858. it . The proposals for new assurances, ex - elusive of annuities, during the year, as appears from the books of the company, have been 2,110 in .number, of which 1,566 have been accepted and' completed, insuring £911,410 ; and affording, as new premiums from: the fresh " transactions of the year, the large amount of £27,897 16s. 2d. • " The proposals offered have as heretofore included . both firstclaSs lives and those only insurable at in-: .creased rates. The • greater number, however, of those accepted and completed have been first-class ;- the - excess of the proposals over' ew policies, 0r , g)44 in number, being these wholly declined or Mise not carried out. „ • " The general number of policies on the books was 5,312 ; the ge . neral income frdin premiums, exclu sive of interest on investments, was £78,161 13s. 3d. ;• the amount paid in respect of elaims from death was £25,912 Ws. Bd. ; and the amount Of the funds at - interest or actually in hand. at the end of .the year, exclusive . of . deposits, was £153,141 16s. -10 d. . diately under their control, but, as during the past and preceding years, by the active and strenuous efforts of those acting in Various capacities for the society, both at home and abroad. To all of whom the greatest praise is due, from their having thus successfully combined, to enable directors to claim for the Gresham a place among the leading insu rance companies of the country. Speaking for them4elves, the directors will never cease to pro- mote, to the best of their power, the general 1-vel - of the institution over which they preside, and hope that by such means, and the increasing confi dence of the public, in the stability and . practical usefulness of the Gresham as a reliable insurance society, that, great as has been the success of the past, it may , still be exceeded and justified by the results of the future. The CHAIRMAN'said the present was the tenth occasion on which he had had the happiness of To contrast the position of the society at diffe rent _periods of the 'past with the present, it will be sufficienfto rehearse that— 0, - • • • " At the end - of its third financial year (July 31, 1851), its new premiums were £5,124 3s, 4d. ; its current premiums, £15,923 ls. 6d. ; and its funds at interest or actually in hind, exclusive of deposits, was £21,205 9s. 6d. • • " At the end of its financial year (July 31, 1854), the new premiums were. £7,129 18s. sd. ; its cur-' rent premiums, £35,329 9s. 'id. ; and the funds' at interest or actually in hand, exclusive of deposits, was £69, - 689 4s; 10d. " At the 'end of the tenth or present finanCial year ! (July 31, 1858); vir, four years only from the last series of figures, its new premiums are £27,897 16s. 2d. ; and, after the declaration of bonus in 1-855 of )X25,000, its :Current premiums are £78,161 13s. 3d., and its funds-at interest or actually in hand, ex . elusive of deposits, X1'53,141 16s:10d. " Whoever 'is aware of the intense competition and:struggle for business, that has been carried }Ai, especially during the - last. four years referred Ito, by the various - life' assurance' societies of Great Britain, not only by extending their transactions `over thelinited ICingdom, but over the continent and to the remotest- of our colonies, will readily admit, that the success of - the " Gresham" has been unprecedented: 'ThiS is the • more worthy' of note from the fact, that there is no single transac tion on its books for an extreme. amount, nor has there been among its multifarious proceedings a singleinstance of - a-n - acceptance for an assurance or policy being issued, without having been first sub- mitted as a distinct pi•oposal, for specific approval ' or rejection, at the head office in London. • " The amount of business transacted during the past year might appear, however, to have been capable of .being made still greater, in consequence of one older, and several younger, societies having proposed,, to transfer their business to the Gresham. But no such proposal has been offered to this so ciety, whatever may have been offered to others, that the directors could; upon close examination, as men-of business, deem advantageous and proper for all parties to. enter into. 'They have; therefore, preferred relying upon its own resources to develop and extend .the business of. the Gresham, rather than enlarge its. liabilities by the incluion of risks, not , passing through the Usual 'Ordeal of original scrutiny, for approval Or rejection, according to its own forms •of procedure. That this determined line of action has beau thoroughly successful, is proved by the unpreccdehted amount of business transacted. To render its effect and bearing still more promiment, the directors, having regard to the great public attention, that has of late been attracted towards Joint Stock finance, and having made the system of accounts adopted by the Gresham the especial object of their own attention, have now the pleasure of recommending to the general meeting, that the audit of the society's ac counts, instead of taking place as heretofore, but - once a year, should be. entered on by the auditors month by.month, preparatory to the annual report. Indeed, the great extent and multiplicity of details. of the. society's businesS now needs this partition of the auditor's labours, ; and the consequent expense will be fully, warranted by the increased confidence to all parties that a monthly audit must necessarily engender. " With respect to the accounts of the past year, they have been already printed and circulated among the shareholders, as required by the deed of settlement, and, having been carefully compared with the original documents by the auditors and reported correct, are now submitted for approval and adoption.. " The directors who retire on the present occa sion, are Messrs. James Lyne Hancock, David. Lloyd, and Alfred Smee, who, being re-eligible, again offer themselves for election, and constitute the list recommended by the directors for that pur pose. " In conformity with the Deed of Settlement, the auditors also retire at the close of the year ; but being re-eligible, again offer themselves for election for the year ensuing, viz, Messrs. G. H. Ladbury and Mm. Whitelock, on behalf of the shareholders ; and. Messrs. G. Lowe, F.R.S., and Win. Webb Venn, for the policy holders. "As a conclusion to their report the directors can not lose sight of the fact, that a large business like that of the Gresham can only be obtained and sup ported by the active exertions, not only of them selves and those of the official staff more imme- presiding at their ordinary annual meeting, and it had been his gratifying duty each time to congra tulate the society on the successful progress that was being made. (Cheers.) The report just read showed that prosperity still continued to attend their exertions ; and as it entered so fully into the affairs that had occupied the attention of the direc tors during the past year, he should not detain them with any lengthy remarks thereon. It was exceedingly gratifying to find that their new busi ness had been greater during the year just ended than it had been in the preceding one—(cheers)- - and consequently the general income had largely increased. (Loud cheers.) The only otheraso,btsheart vation he need add ress to ' the meeting way, the directors had determined to recommend the shareholders to agree to an audit of the society's affairs every month, instead of once a year. (Hear.) He hoped such a proposition would be agreed to, as he was persuaded that ihdexact state of their affairs could not be too fully known to their constituents. (Cheers.) He had great pleasure in moving that the report just read be received and adopted. The motion was, after a few words from Mr. Griffiths and Mr. Pidgeon, was carried forthwith. The following resolution was put and carried unanimously. "That James Lvne Hancock, David Lloyd, and Alfred Smee, Esqrs., be the list of directors to fill the vacancies occasioned by the retirements." Mr. GRIFFITH, after a few copplimentarTobser yations, moved— - - "That the 'thanks of this meeting and the sum of 50 guineas be awarded to the auditors." Carried unanimously.

I doubt, however, if the advent of this boon' willi be . hailed with much favour by any party, espeeitilly by the Liberals.• -(lronical cheers.) I should hope, : however, that it will: disfranchise a: number of the close boroughS. Thiswould let loose a good mal•ny seats, in which case justice would not be , done i to Scotland if we did not receive 'an addition to our representatives. The counties, ,antl boroughs; of England and. Wales have no less than 496, Ireland -105, and Scotland has 53. The estimated popnla, tion. of :England and Wales in 1855. is about 18,786,000, Scotland- 3,400,000, Ireland about 6,000,000. As 'Scotland has nearly . a sixth of ihe Population of England, on that principle we should hale 80 members, or an addition of 27. But. England being the richer country it will naturally 'contribute more to the revenues of. the nation in proportion to_ its population than Sdot-, land. If we' calculate the sum paid into the. Ex chequer by Scotland at a ninth of England we shall be nearer the mark. This would give only an addition of two ; but if we combine the elements of population and revenue, and take the average,' Vie addition would be 15. In regard to the extension of the franchise, my opinion is that the safest ground on which the frauchise can be based is the holding of property; and AS small proprietors are as Careful as any for the preservation and prospc r'ty of their property as larger, it is not necessary that the amount should be.large. We have a precedent in the 40s. freehold of England. lam well aware that in Scotland weroannot have the same franchise ; but I believe that a property qUalifieation of 40s. a-year would be. one safe mode of extending the suffrage. I confess, however, I have .no great hopes 'of the tinkering of the representative machineS by the Tories, the men who so stoutly resisted the • last Reform IEII, and purposely damaged it by forcing two rotten timbers into it. Mr. Black proceeded at great length to advert to the Universities Bill, and particularly to the re moval of the patronage from the corporation. He referred in conclusion to the 'Annuity-tax Bill, which was lost last session on the second reading by 130 to 129, but which he was determined to in troduce annually till the question was settlled. Sir W. Duman., M.P., then addressed the meet ing on the University patronage queStiOn, but was received with so much impatience that he had, to give way. Numerous questions were then put to the city members amid every description of clamorous de monstration, and numerous interrogators were still competing for hearing, when the advancing dark ness and the confusion that prevailed brought the meeting to a close. FATAL WRECK OF THE B.RITISHS - ffri ) SOUBADAR.-FORTY LIVES LOST.' _ . The following particulars have been received at Lloyd's relative to the wreck of the English ship Soubadar, Capt. Umfrevill, commander, and the loss of 40 lives (coolie - passengers). The ship was on a voyage from the _Mauritius to Madras with 301 coolie passengers and two native doctors on board ; her. Lascar crew and European master and officers, amounting in all to 52. On Aug. 11, at two, a.m., she struck on a reef extending . E.S.E. about four miles from the island of Forie and of the Spadian group, and became a total wreck. The vessel at the time was under double-reefed topsails, courses up, ar.d jib and spanker in ; wind north, and the ship heading up east by north. Breakers were seen and reported on the , lee bow, and the helm was at once put hard down. The ship, how ever, struck in a few minutes, and was bilged be fore morning. A very heavy sea prevcated any attempts to lay out an anchor to get the vessel off ; and at daylight the mate was sent away in one of the ship's, boats to endavour . to pull over the reef and get assistance from the island. - He was unsuc cessful, and some time afterwards a native boat_ came down to the wreck, having received informa tion about the locality. During the day the crew and coolies were got upon the reef from the ship,which was two or three feet under water ; but they were unable to get to the island, either in the boats or on foot, and the rising of the tide washed a great many of the coolies off the reef. Some were picked up by the ships' boats and the native boat, but it was ultimately found on reaching the Wand that 38 men' and two women were drowned; the crew all saved. On the 19th the captain and crew left Forie in three of the - ships' boats, and the coolies in about 12 or 13 native boats, and landed on Hunadoo Island, another of the same group. Here they remained some days endeavouring to get on to the 'Maldives. The mate, with the two native passengers, three of the crew, and 70 coolies, at length left in a native boat and reached King's Island on the Gth Sept., and the captain and a fur ther portion of the crew and coolies arrived in coming s iu.

A resoltrtiOn for a moottily audit wash affc -re' to_ CO34MISSIONER FARE. Mr. Commissioner . Fane has addresSed the followingletter to_the editor of the .Daily Netts : " SIR,—In your publication of yesterday 'you 'have censured my conduct, as a 'Commi ss i oner o f the Court of Bankruptcy, in connexion with'ecase of . Saunders, a bankrupt, in rather unmeasured langiage; Saunders was a very old 'and nervous person._ He appeared to me to be shedding tears, and to be much agitated during the whole of his eianiimition by Mr. Sargood, which lasted about five hours. It appeared that he had carried on business most respectably for thirty years at Thame, as a saddler and harness maker. He was made bankrUpt by his own son upon an alleged balance of debt, .amounting to £259, the principal debit .against him being _-£4Bo . fOr wages at 255. a week from January, 1862, to June, 1 . 858. - The - ad of bankruptcy • was a very honest act, being an assignment by the bankrupt of all his property . to a trustee for his creditors. Only two creditors have come forward to prove. I could not, under such circumstances, help feeling for the misfortunes of this hardworking old man, made bankrupt by his own son, upon so stale a debt, after thirty years' successful trading. It appears by the pro ceedings that, in April last, the bankrupt had occasion-for £lOO, and had asked a Mr. Lay to lend it him, which Mr. Lay- had agreed to do on having security on some property supposed. to belong to his wife in fee. Mr. Lay advanced £5O before exam ining the title ; but on investigation it turned out that the bankrupt's wife had only a life interest, upon which Mr. Lay , declined to advance the second £5O, -and insisted upon the inimediato return of the first £5O. The bankrupt had already used it, and" was unable to return.it. Mr. Lay sued him. Law costs - soon raised the debt of X5O; to £7O; judgment was obtained, and execution issued for the £7O. In these distressing circumstances the bankrupt's. son-in-law, one Walker, came foryy-ard, paid the sheriff the £7O . for Lay, and took the usual bill of sale from the sheriff 'of the property so seized. Of course the property, which consisted of some furniture and a small stock in trade, having been bought of thasheriff by Walker, was Walker's property. Walker, though not the son but only the son-m-law - of: tho bankrupt, permitted. the bankrupt to make what use of it he pleased, thus acting towards the old man and his wife with the kindness which their nearer re lation' would have done well to - imitate. All the above facts were patent on the proceedings, and must have been - knoWn to Mf. Burkitt, the solici tor; and Mr. Sargood, the counsel.' I take' shame to myself for not having known them so accurately at the hearing as I do' now. I have not, howeVer, presided in a court of. justice '25 years without being able to see who are honest - arid who knavish. I soon saw that Saunders was an honest man, and of course took his part against his son; who had made him bankrupt, and his son's supporters. My reward was the adoption of a tone of insult from Mr. Sargood and the solfeitor who instructed him, to which I dare say I replied in a tone expressing what •I felt towards persons aiding such a son against such a father. Such are the facts of the case in reference to which you have expressed to your - - readers 'tour incipient, that " the conduct of Mr. CO mm i ss i oner ."F'itne on this occasion was such as deeply to dis grace the administration of British justice." I doubt not that your hive of justice will induce yon to give your readers my statement as well as Tour own„psod thus, finable them to farm their, lit,jildg .. .1116 fit.--I am, &e. • ANE. P.S.—A complaint is made that I quitted the court abruptly. I did not leave it till half-past four on Saturday, and I left it then lei I should be too late to leave town by train. All the office of the Court of Bankruptcy are closed at two o'clock on Saturday, in accordance with the wish, so gene rally expressed that Saturday s h ou ld be deemed 'a half-holiday. On the Thursday before I sat front one till half-past ten, listening to an examination by Mr. Sargood. C. F. 4, Upper Brook-street, Nov. 3. IMPROVEMENT IN STEAM BOILERS. M. Carrey, an officer in the French navy, has in vented an apparatus by which the loss of caloric through the funnel of a steam-boiler is considerably diminished. A kilogramme of coal is sufficient to transform from 12 to 13 kilogrammes of water raised to the temperature of 86 deg. Fah. into steam ; but this theoretical result is far from being attained:in practice, a kilogramme of coal being scarcely suffi cient to reduce 7, and in some cases 4 kil, .of water into steam. The consequence is that more coal is consumed than would be necessary, and that vessels are obliged to carry a much larger provision of fuel than is usually convenient. The three chief causes by which caloric is lost are-1, the escape through the chimney of the gases produced by combustion, which are always charged with a considerable quantity of caloric ; 2, imperfect combustion ; and 3, radiation. M. Carrey's invention for removing or at least considerably diminishing these causes rests on the principle that wire gauze has the pro perty of rapidly absorbing the caloric of a current of warm air passing through it, and as rapidly com municating it to one of cold air passing in a contrary direction. M. Carrey, therefore, introduces into the funnel a moveable shaft supporting a pile of pieces of wire-gauze, or else a bundle of small quadrangu lar tubes of very thin ,metal, producing the same effect as the gauze. The gases which escape throiimh the funnel meet this apparatus on their way, and in passing terough are deprived of all their calorie. The shaft now turns upon itself, until the wire gauZe, charged with caloric, is brought into con tact with a current of cold air supplied by a venti lator. This air, on its way to the fire-place, -de prives the gauze of all its caloric, and carries it into the furnace, which by this means receives a - warm instead of a cold blast. The operation described is continuous, for while the shaft carries one pile, of wire-gauze over to the cold current it presents an other pile to the warm one. By this contrivance, therefore, all the caloric usually lost is saved and carried back to the furnace, where it aids in render ing the combustion more complete; the dimensions of the boiler may consequently be reduced, and ra diation therefore diminished.. The power of coin bastion being increased, it also follows that certain kinds of combustibles, now rejected as being of an inferior quality, may be advantageously employed. on board ship. DURHAM UNIVERSITY. • At a Convocation holden Nov. 2, 1858, the Rev. J. redder, M.A., and the Rev.. J. J. Hornby, M.A., made the requisite declaration on . entering upon the office of Proctor.

Dennis Embleton, M.D., Reader in Medicine, was 'unani mously elected. THE ALLEGED DESERTER TO THE RUSSIANS: — Private Thomas Toole, 7th Royal Fusiliers, appeared last week in the general court-martial room, at Cliathani, to take his trial on a charge of deserting to the enemy when he was before Sebastopol, about the 14th Jan., 1855. From some cause, which did not transpire, the prisoner was no t ied.' It is understood that there is no evidence to prove that the man deserted at all. It can he proved that he left the camp, which was on the right attack, in front of -the redoubt; one morning between 9 and 10 o'clock, about the 14th or 15th of Jan., 1855, with a comrade of the name of Moore, for the purpose of getting fuel to cook with, and. they proceeded to the ravine under the . heights of Inker mann, and neither of them came back again; but they were seen as prisoners of war in Sebas 4 .onol by some prison ers o f the 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers, anti afterwards Toole, with o th ers , was sent to St. Petersburg , and upon a'l exellangs ,and t he of prisoners which took place, Toole refused .to be so ch the Comman • mired.
