A pattern specimen of the recently adopted new clothing for our troops in India, which is being sent out now with the regimental draughts to that country, is on view at the War Department, Pall mall. Both in shape and material it is of the sim plest kind, and seems to combine in an unusual Hithertodeemed e t s h s e en in ti f a a l ntr t y o a the d l e v o e m b f e o l iit eve of the the cal li l e r n y . degree those many qualificati ons th a t are r i g h t l y also, have been supplied with a loose kind of shoot ing jacket, made of coarse red flannel or serge, with dark ordinary trousers of the same material. The coolness, lightness, and ease of these, while they lasted intact, seemed to•fit them admirably for the trying climate of India. But a slight examination of the loose texture of the serge would seem to show , that no great amount of durability could be ex peeted from them, and that, above all, they were scarcely fitted for the bivouacking and jungle marching of an Indian campaign. It is now in tended to replace these tunics with new jackets and trousers, different both in colour and material from those we have mentioned. The present pat tern is made of a very strong description of corded jean of a grayish slate hue, similar to those " carkee' tunics which have been describe& It is made to fit the wearer loosely, and is without. braid or orna ment of any kind beyond a simple shoulder-strap, with the regimental number in white cotton figures, and a few stout brass buttons down the front. The trousers are of the same material and colour, made close to the waist, but fitting very loosely round the hips and legs ; so that the whole costume gives the greatest possible freedom of action to all the movements of ate body. Those of our readers even the least versed in military matters can at once appreciate the value of such a dress to the soldier when on the rapid and forced marches which seem likely to be the chief features of the approaching cam paign against the rebels. The strength of the new material is also a great recommendation, while its pale gray neutral colour, so hard to distinguish at a short distance, will afford the wearer a protection against sharpshooting which he would never ex perience in the staring red tunic now worn. Alto gether, the new clothing is about the best, strongest and most comfortable service uniform which the soldier has yet got., and, though doubtless it may still be improved upon, it is a great step in the right direction. It now only remains to adopt this or some such dress as the recognised uniform for all her Majesty's troops stationed in warm climates, for we trust that we have seen the last of the old style of things, when our infantry were required to face a Canadian winter or an Indian summer in precisely the same clothing. It is only now that the Government have admitted that there is a dif ference in the temperature of Lahore in July and Newfoundland in December, but now that the fact is acknowledged let the change which it suggests be fully carried out in all branches of the service.

The Harpy was commissioned at Portsmouth in May, 1854,' by Lieut. Commander Lindsay, who exchanged with her present commander from the Hannibal in August, 1855. She sailed from Portsmouth with Admiral Boxer for the Bosphorus, where she hoisted the .Adm;ral's flag, and was subsequently employed with the fleet and transports in convey ing the army to the Crimea, and during the war was incessantly engaged in conveying despatches, removing invalids, prisoners and supernumeraries and in laying down buoys and anchors for moor ings for the fleet, assisting wrecks and ships on shore, towing distressed vessels, and cruisitpr in search of pirates. On the 4th of last month the Harpy hoisted the flag of Admiral Stopford at Malta, and having been inspected by Lord F. heir, she sailed on the 19th of that month for England, calling at Algiers, Gibraltar, and Viz°. The statement which appeared in The Sun a few days since, relative to the condition of the river Medway in the vicinity of Chatham dockyard and the Gun-wharf, where the channel of the river is becoming fast filled up, owing to the washing away of the banks and the :deposits of mud which have been allowed to accumulate, has had the effect of directing the attention of the authorities to this important subject. The local authorities have also been aroused, and a numerou'ly signed requisition has been presented to Mr. Badden, the high con stable of the borough of Chatham, calling u,)on the inhabitants to take into consideration the ex pediency of immediately adopting such measures as may be deemed advisable with the view of arresting the further filling up of the bed of the river. In obedience to the requisionists the high constable has convened a meeting which is to be held in the largest public room in the borough. The protec tion and control of the Medway devolve upon the corporation of Rochester (who claim jurisdiction over the river) and the Lord Mayor, win; is the conservator ; the Board of Admiralty tan exercise their authority over it, but notwithstanding the interest of each and all these bodies the Medway has been left uncared for until it is now in its pre sent alarming state. Seven 9-pounder brass-guns, cast at the foundry in Woolwich Arsenal, were yesterday proved at the butt, six of which were found defective, and were ordered to be restored to the foundry to be recast. The dockyard authorities have as many men em ployed as can work upon the undermentioned ships at Portsmouth, with the object of getting them out of hand with all despatch :—The Victoria, 121 guns 1,000 horse power ; the Prince of Wales, 131 guns, 800 horse power (both on the stocks) ; and the Nep tune, 120, sailing ship, under conversion to a 91 gun screw two-decker, with 600 horse power. The following appointment were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander C. G. Grills, to be Inspecting-Commander of the Coastguard, vice Hobart; A. G. S. Pasley, acting mate, to the Liffey ; Wm. J. Hamilton, surgeon, to the Conflict ; George B. Beale, acting assistant-surgeon, to the Victory ; William Percevall, acting assistant-surgeon, to the Impregnable ; and Charles W.

STAMPED, SD. protect the native iron-master, the State must make an exception in its own favour by using English iron, or sacrifice so far the efficiency of the navy. Meanwhile protection has been utterly unable to sustain prices. While secure from all competition French iron experienced the same vicissitudes as ours, of course with no Protection, did. As if, however, to show that protection has nothing to do with the matter, French iron has just fallen considerably, in the face of a relapse into Protection obtained by the iron masters themselves. They represented that it was impossible to make iron at the low prices lately prevailing, and that the evil was caused by the free importation of iron to be manufactured for exporta tion. They carried their point, and now find that without any unusual importation for this purpose prices have fallen, and iron, if made, must now be made on still lower terms. In this country we are accustomed to such vicissitudes. They come, and the sufferers lament that they had not the sense to see them coming. But they have no Em peror, no Protection to run to ; they know it is vain to expect laws in their special favour ; they quietly accept the warning to do their work still better, and conduct their business more prudently.— Times. RAILIVAI' INTELLIGENCE. WEST LONDON. A special general meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, to consider the propriety of making application to Parliament in the ensuing session for an act to extend the Ken sington Canal branch across the Thames to the London and South-Western Railway, and also for power to sell the Kensington Canal—Mr. S. Bird in the chair. Mr. TURQUAND, the secretary, read the notice convening the meeting, and a circular that had been sent to the proprietors, stating that the committee of shareholders had submitted to the directors of the company a plan for converting the Kensington Canal into a. railway, which would connect the West London Railway with the railways on the southern side of the Thames, and had requested the directors to take the necessary preliminary steps for laying the same before Parliament during the ensuing session. To effect this object it was im perative that the plans should be deposited with Parliament by the 30th inst. The directors having regard to the strong representations made to them by the committee of shareholders, and feeling also that such a disposition of the property of the com pany must materially enhance its value, had in structed the solicitor to prepare for depositing the plans. The CHAIRMAN stated that the engineer had suggested an Alteration in the notice which would have been too late for insertion, and therefore a supplemental notice was given. Mr. J. WIIITEHEAD then entered into an expla nation showing the advantages that would arise to the company from the proposed undertaking. He had proposed the sale of the canal, but that was objected to by the committee, and he must say they had shown great vigour and devotion to the interests of the company. If something was not done, there was but little chance of the second class shareholders getting anything, and as to the original shareholders they would get nothing. There were several schemes for extending the West London line. The West-end and Crystal Palace scheme intended to occupy their canal, and were, therefore, considered friendly. The North and South Metro politan Junction scheme avoided the Kensington Canal, and therefore must be considered as unfriendly The Great Western scheme also avoided their canal. If the shareholders of the West London continued supine, their property would pass into the hands of other companies, but if they exerted themselves their property would not only be pre served, but raised considerably in value. No line, from its position, offered greater advantages ; it • would join the London and North-Western and the Great Western Railways with all the railways at the south side of the Thames, the South-Eastern, the Brighton, the South-Western, and the Crystal Palace Railway. Kensington was a very populous district, and it would therefore have a large local traffic as well as a through traffic. Looking at the receiOts on other lines in the metropolis somewhat similarly situated, he was of opinion that when the proposed extension was carried out they would re ceive 10 per cent. on Ocir outlay. The coal owners in the north were prepared to send a large quantity of coals over the line to southern districts sufficient to justify the proposed undertaking. The London and North-Western and Great Western Companies would go forward with their schemes if the West London Company did nothing ; but he hoped they would go vigorously forward and secure their Bill. Their true policy was to go forward. He (Mr. Whitehead) held first and second class shares only in the West London—he had not one old share. He would therefore not stand in the way to prevent them making their property a sure one for the sake of any dividend they could now pay. At present there was no chance of getting back one farthing of their money; but by carrying out the new project, instead of being represented as " Punch's line," it would in reality become the grand junction line of the king dom. He concluded by moving a formal resolu tion, adopting and confirming the steps taken ; and being taken, by the directors, authorising them, in conjunction with the committee, to take all neces sary steps for carrying out the undertaking men tioned in the Parliamentary notice, or such por tions thereof as the directors and committee might deem necessary, and to defray the expenses in re lation thereto out of the funds of the company. Mr. Alderman CUBITT had great pleasure in seconding the motion. At present their property was of no value to them, neither was it of any value to the traffic of the kingdom ; but by extending it as proposed they would unite the network of rail ways on the north of the Thames with the network on the south of the Thames, and consequently ob• thin a very large traffic. The facilities for traffic would be greatly improved by its construction, and passengers would be conveyed from north to south by it expeditiously, instead of in cabs, as at pre sent. He thought they would be considered as having a prior claim on Parliament for an Exten sion Act, and he need not say that if they got it there could be no doubt it would be of great value and importance to them. They would then be in a good position and able to deal with any proposition that might be made to them in respect of their pro perty ; otherwise their property would be valued according to its antecedents, instead of in respect to its future prospects. Mr. HARTRIDGE understood that there were at present nine schemes afloat for:crossing the Thames, and some of them would no doubt appear before Parliament. Their extension was not a new scheme; it had been contemplated by the original promoters of the line, but circumstances had prevented the project from being carried out. The traffic on the Greenwich line was at the rate of £11,509 per mile THE ARMY. The following circular, relative to the deliveries of ammunition from the Government magazines, has just been issued from the Horse Guards, by order of the Duke of Cambridge, for the guidance of commanding officers at home and abroad : " His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief has reason to believe that sufficient atten tion is not paid by commanding officers to the de livery of ammunition from the r.?gimental magazines, and that this duty is too frequently delegated to non-commissioned officers ; attention is, therefore, called to the " Queen's Regulations and Orders for the Army," page 107, on this sub ject, which directs that the deliveries of ammuni tion from the regimental or depot magazines arc to be made by the Quartermasters CO the officers commanding troops or companies. The .Quarter master will be held responsible that he so regulates this point of his duty as to prevent the necessity of trasting the key of the magazine to any subordi nate authority. " By command, " G. A. WETHERALL, AdjutantGldneral." The new system of ventilation for the barrack rooms occupied by the _troops, which• has been so successfully adopted by the several blocks of build ings at Chatham-barracks, is being applied to the various buildings occupied by the Royal Engine( r at Brompton Barracks, under the direction of Colonel M. Williams, the Commanding Royal En gineer. The new principle of ventilation, which has already: been described in• The Sun, has been found to answer so satisfactorily that it will be carried out at all the barracks and military hos pitals throughout the kin g dom. Yesterday the officers and reinforcements for the 2d (the Queen's) Dragoon Guards, Gth Dragoon Guards (Carabineers), 7th Hussars, 9th Lancers, Royal Artillery, Gth, 19th, 23d (Royal Welsh Fusi liers), 34th 35th (Royal Sussex), 37th, 88th (Con naught Rangers), 90th (Light Infantry), and 97th Regiments, from the depots at Maidstone, Canter bury, Chatham, and Colchester, embarked at Gravesend on board the Gertrude, for Calcutta. The recent arrangements, sanctioned by the authority of the Duke of Cambridge, for sending a certain number of staff-sergeants and discharged sergeant-majors with the reinforcements proceeding to India, have been found to work so satisfactorily, that orders have been received at Chatham for an additional number of non-commissioned officers of this class to be selected to embark for India with the troops under orders for embarkation. On arriving in India these sergeants will be employed in conducting invalid and wounded troops to England. The order for the departure of Captain Blosse's company of Royal Artillery for Bermuda reeenlly issued at Woolwich was yesterday countermaneed, under an order, it is said, from the Commander-in- Chief, to reduce the strength of the Royal Artillery there to one full company only. Yesterday, at 1 o'clock, the entire corps . of R o y a l Horse Artillery stationed at head-quarters, Wool wich, were mustered on parade for the purpose of witnessing the execution of a sentence of a regi mental Court-martial, pronounced last week on two sergeants of Major Tupper's A troop, named Ed ward Raisebeck and Simon Briggs, who we:.• convicted of having, in breach 'of the articles of war, absented thems e l ves f rom t h e i r post without leave, and retired to their homes without the gar rison lines, at a time specified, when appointed to night duty, together with four other sergeants, in charge of a 100 rank and file as a garrison picket, to asEemble in case of fire or any sudden emergency. The sentence of the Court-martial, adjudging the prisoners to be degraded from their position and reduced as gunners, having been read by the Ad jutant of the day, a couple of drummer-boys advanced towards the prisoners, and tore off their stripes and other badges distinguishing their grade above the ranks, to which they were thereupon or dered to retire. A detachment of 66 non-commissioned officers and gunners of the Royal Artillery yesterday left Woolwich for Calcutta. A number of non-com missioned officers employed as clerks in the Adju tant- General's and the Battalion offices accompanied the detachment for similar servive in India'. per annum ; that of the London and BlaCkwall, £15,000 per mile ; and of the North London Rail way, £lB,OOO per mile per annum. There was, therefore, no doubt the traffic would be ample to compensate them for their outlay. He was happy to say that the directors and the committee had acted together unanimously in this ma tter. After some observations by other shareholders in favour of the proposed undertaking, which it was stated would not only be remunerative to the share holders, but very useful to the public, Mr. HADDON expressed a belief that the eaten sion line would increase the goods traffic on the canal to an amount 20 t imes g reater than it was at present, and if so it would 3-ield £6,000 a year, and every one who had invested his money would get 20s. in the pound. The resolution was then put, and carried unani nseimonudseldib passed appointing as Mr. se d unani mously.

According to some of the accounts trans mitted to Lloyd's yesterday. under date of that day, the violence of the gales from the . east had diminished. Details carne to hand, however, announcing fresh wrecks in addition to those already noticed, coupled in two instances with loss of life. The schooner Dean of Guild, of Perth, froth ' Gothenburg for London, with a cargo of oats, was totally wrecked on the Sunk Sand (Wivenhoe) and the master and mate were drowned. The rest Of the crew were saved by a smack, and landed at Bright lingsea. The schooner Earl of Spencer, on her voy age from Liverpool :to Dublin, got on shore north of Doar (Drogheda), and was expected to become a total wreck, In this case two men also lost their lives. The advices from Kirkaldy state that the Scotia, Capt. Hills, of South Shi e ld s , f rom Sunder land to Rouen, codladen, encountered the full.force of the gale off Flamborough Head, but was enabled to reach Kirkaldy, where she was run on the beach to prevent her sinking. The crew were saved. The Osbert, Capt. Dalrymple, from London to Dominica went ashore near Sheerness. The Edward, Capt. Jones, from Liverpool to Port ,IVladoe, got aground in attempting to cross Pwllheli Bar, and drifted to the northward, where she remained, making much water. A telegram from Dublin mentions that the brig. previously referred to as riding in a dangerous position in Lambay Sound still h e ld h er f ormr po sition. Steam tugs had arrived from Liverpool, but were unable to get near her, the sea being too heavy. The communications from Margate describe a quan tity of wreck that had been floating near the Tongue Light. Fears were entertained that a vessel was lost on Monday night. At Falmouth, says a letter dated yesterday, there were no lens than 9 steamers in port, detained by the adverse winds, viz.—The Warrior, Foyle, Dublin, Pioneer, and a steamer from Belfast, all for London ; the • Artisan, for Southampton ; the Duke of Cornwall, for Dublin ; Ceres from London for Dublin ; and the Manger ton, from Limerick ; in addition to a numereus fleet of sailing vessels. At Renzan a large screw steamer put in, to avoid the gale. Between Southend and Greeniiithe fully 200 ships remained windbound. At Sunderland yesterday 180 coal laden vessels were lying at the port, waiting fbr favourable weather before proceeding to sea. The accounts from Antwerp announce that the violence of the gale was experienced on the 14th in all its Airy, but the whole of the shipping in the basins. and roads held out well. A correspondent from Drogheda, dated Monday, says, we have been visited in the north-eastern coast, since Saturday night last, with a violent south-easterly gale,which still continues unabated. TheLeinster - Lass (Capt. Teker) and the St. Patrick (Capt. Heaney), two Drogheda steam-boats, which left - Liverpool at 3 p.m. on Saturday last, were over taken by the storm, and the masters were obliged to bring them to anchor off Holyhead for safety, where they lay for some six hours. Having again put to sea, both -steamers gallantly struck out for their destination, but the gale continuing in fierce ness, it was found dangerous to attempt to take the Drogheda bar. They then made for Kingstown, where• they put in yesterday (Sunday) about 3 o'clock, all well. - So violent is the -gale to-lay, the Drogheda Steam Packet Company's agent has tele graphed and despatched official letters to different railway stations and other places announcing that 'the boats advertised to sail this evening from the Drogheda quays cannot and will not venture to sea. Up to the present Lloyd's agent at Drogheda has reported no disasters , along his district of the north eastern coast ; but from the direction in which the gale is blowing it is feared that casualties have occurred. The Belfast News Letter says that on Sunday intelligence reached Belfast of the loss of the brig Stanley, - of Glasgow, in the Red Bay Beach, at Cushendall, between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning of Friday last. The Stanley, Capt. T. J. Douall, left Glasgow on the 6th inst., bound to Motril, in Spain, with a cargo of machinery and coals. The crew consisted of eleven men, besides the captain, an experienced seaman. The vessel proceeded on her voyage till the morning of Friday last, when, during a fog, owing, it is supposed, to some disar rangement of the compass, she was brought too near the beach, and struck heavily upon it. The sea was rough at the time, and the vessel has be come a total wreck. It i s su pp os ed the captain was washed overboard, as he has never since been heard of. The other hands succeeded in getting safely ashore, and are now staying at the Belfast Sailors' Home, Tomb -street. Another account from Belfast says that on Sunday as many as 75 vessels were taking shelter in Glenarm Bay. . Further advices from Dublin say that a small brig came on shore at the farther side of Bray Head on Tuesday morning . at 5 o'clock. The wreck floated in bottom upwards, and no particulars what ever in reference to her could be ascertained. There is too much reason tct believe that all hands belong ing to her have perished. The Drogheda correspondent of the Saunders' News Letter, also writing on Tuesday says—" The gale still continues along the north-eastern coast with unmitigated fury, threatening destruction to any sail that may come in its range. The appear ance of the sea outside the Drogheda Bay is de scribed by old-tars and pilots as dismal. They say they have not witneosed such a rage of waters for some 20 years past, which they attribute to the long continuance of what has amounted to a hurricane. Such is the vehemence of the breakers at the Dro- gheda bar at present that no vessel can venture outwards or inwards to the port. The pier at the ' Crook,' near the mouth of the Boyne, is covered over with from two to three feet in depth of sand. Two of the Drogheda steamers, the St. Patrick and Leinster Lass, still remain at ingstown, and the other steamers here are prevented making their usual trips to Liverpool, owing to the exceedingly violent nature of the storm, which is blowing from the eastward, a point so frequently fatal to the shipping on this line of coast. I understand that a Dundalk steamer, the Enterprise, laden with live stock, was obliged to put in at Holyhead for safety, on her way to Liverpool. The utmost anxiety and the most fearful apprehensions were felt in this district since Sunday—along the coast from Clogher Head to Sherries—and all one heard was inquiries whether any disasters were made known. Up to this time nothing of an alarming nature has come to the knowledge of the agent for Lloyd's as having occurred in the immediate vicinity of our bay. The coastguard officer of Queensborough has reported that several large pieces of timber have come ashore in the vicinity of the bar, which some parties assert to be part of a cargo of timber from North America or Memel. They are in charge of the coastguard. Further on, near Laytown, several spars and other portions of rigging have been washed ashore, plainly indi cative of disaster. A brig, supposed from her co lours to be either an Austrian or Neapolitan, and which appeared to be heavily laden, underwent the pitiless assaults of the impetuous sea on Sunday evening. She rounded Lambay, and came to an chor in the sound between the mainland and the island, where she began to drive amidst the furious elements, threatening every moment to go to pieces. A flag of digress was hoisted yesterday morning, and the SkeTries lifeboat, with a full crew, under the command of Mr. H. Hamilton, put out to her assistance with a view of saving the crew. How ever, so fearfully tempestuous were the wild waters that they were obliged to return without being able to accomplish their philanthropic intentions. The rigging arid masts have been all cut away from the brig. A rumour reached Drogheda this afternoon that the crew have been saved. The cold which has accompanied the storm from its commencement is still of the most piercing nature, and some of the older weather judges will have it that a fall of snow is inevitable, while others predict rain. The latter would have the effect of appeasing the rage of the gale. The steamboats and other vessels at our quays are all snugly lying to, nor can it be calcu lated on when any of them can leave the port," FRENC.H MONOPOLY. If we discuss the financial theories of France, it is as we should those of a state exhumed from the Middle Ages or discovered in the heart of a con. tinent. No doubt, there are few Frenchmen of more than common intelligence who do not wish to follow our example, at least in: the great prin ciples of removing burdens from industry and opening the ports to food and raw material. But these are not the people who govern France, and their convictions are worthless. France is governed by people whose interest is so wrapped up in a business or an employment, in such a bit of land, such a manufactory, or such a service, that they have no spare thoughts, not a moment of time or a corner of their hearts for any other people. As a drowning man catches at any floating subztance ' without entering upon the question of hydrostatics, and is read' , to rejoice over a bit of straw, the great majority of the French nation are engrossed in the question what price they will get for the stock now on their premises, or what wages for the next quarter of a year. These are the men who return the Emperor, and who maintain him in his position. He must address his policy to them, and fortunate indeed is he when he can disguise some hard truth in the frippery of a captivating delusion. There is no press to teach the truth truly, and even the eloquent and courageous writer who has put his head into the lion's mouth. 4 •by a defence of our institutions would probably hesitate to assure the French peasant or artisan that he can safely . follow our example in free trade. So here is the point at which the system fails. You and your horse together con stitute a Centaur, and you can do wonders ; but if the foolish brute is under the firm conviction that the child's hoop which has just run between his legs is a ferocious beast, you have no longer any hold upon his intelligence. France will not open her eyes to commercial common sense in our time. The greatest Powers have their limits, and fret against the tether as much as the lowest slave of man or of cireumstaacc..s. The Emperor of the French might, perhaps, command an expedition against any nation of the earth ; 'he can rebuild Paris and complete Cherbourg, but he cannot let in English iron free. This is an iron age. There is nothing so neces sary to the strength of a nation or to its material development as this convenient metal, which can be turned to so many purposes and worked into such various consistencies and forms. It is not, however, found in equal quantities everywhere, and even when found it requires abundance of charcoal, or its substitute, coal, to bring it into use. It scarcely exists in a virgin state, but is widely diffused in forms that hardly pay for the smelting. In our own southern counties there are vast districts containing iron ore which was worth smelting so long as the forests existed and the cost of carriage from the middle and north of England clogged competition from that quarter ; but it would be madness to attempt anything with our southern ironstone now, and the most rabid Protec tionist of Kent or Surrey would not venture to ask Government to protect his iron against Derbyshire or Wales. In France the iron ore is neither so abundant nor so rich as in this country, nor is there anything like the same supply of coal. Nature has given that country many great advantages, and a situation only second, if second, to our own ; but she has placed her far below ourselves in the sup ply of these useful, though vulgar, materials. The French, however, are an industrious, ingenious, and enterprising race. Give them the material, and they are as likely to bring it to perfection as we are, and will so become formidable competitors. In this case common sense suggests that everything should be done to cheapen the supply of the raw material ; and we can even imagine a very ambi tious Government offering a bounty for the im portation of good iron, to supply the natural deficiency, and place the French manufacturer on a level with the English. What has been done, and what will probably continue not to be done to the end of the chapter, is the very con trary of this. Everything has been done to strangle France, first by stopping, then' by narrow ing and clogging, the inward current of this most precious of all metals. By existing decrees, on every ton of pig-iron or bar-iron imported into France there are levied duties of 50 and 70 per cent., or more than half its value ; and even iron rails, so necessary to the development of France, are only admitted at near 40 per cent. of their value. Ten years ago, in 1847, the make of pig-iron in France was a little under 600,000 tons. Under protection it has diminished. In 1848 it fell to about 470,000 tons ; in 1819 and 1850 to little more than 400,000. In 1852 it had recovered to above 500,000 tons. The make in the best of these years was less than one-sixth of our own, and it follows from a simple calculation that besides exporting immense quantities we annually we'at home 1601 b. per head of the whole popula tion against only 361 b. used in France. The use of iron has long been agreed upon as the best test of material advancement, inasmuch as it enters into all work, agricultural and manufacturing ; build ings, and railway's, and shipping, whether for com merce or for war. It appears, then, that we use four times as much as France per head of the popu lation, and therefore make four times the progress in material things. The quality, however, is not the only, and scarcely the chief, consideration. The q ualit y of Frenchiron is bad, and its inferiority tells on rails, on shipping, and on every implement used in trade or in domestic life. As our correspondent ob serves, French razors do not shave and. French knives do not penetrate meat. The rails on the Northern Line have just been tested, and it is found that after three years' wear of those supplied from the Tredegar Works, in Wales, little more than 1 per cent.—only 18 in I,ooo—were faulty, while no report is given of the French rails laid down. Great quantities of Bowling iron have been intro duced within the last few years into the French dockyards and and at Brest, Toulon, L'Orient it is stated in official reports that the Bowling iron not only passes all the ordinary tests, but is infinitely superior in every respect to the French rolled iron o t n o there used.

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 of bones." lie tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought so-ne of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course or a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. AsTain we find at the late ae.rri 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 it can proceed alone from the good opinion aryl 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.

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 centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, kc., The essential object of this treatise is to point out the a s d oc n u d r i i a n? 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 stares 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 or 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 cure.
