THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- • nu 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, 1 1(1 has puzzled many a brain to ex - plain how this has been Drought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts c "oecrning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, fientleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a t he bag of bones." , He tried all kinds of things to get .e animal into condition, but in vain. Ile then bought some ;!Thorley'sand he says the effect was wonderful. The "orse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had wined no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri foral shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which inied off the highest 'Y -a prizes had been partly fed with Thor food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we re forced to th e conclusion that its celebrity arises solely ~r , °l ll it own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can ;,Occefl, alone from the good opinion and testimony of those ~.," have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle id do well to apply to 77, Newimte-street, London, for a v nl oPhlet which is sent post-free.

The Scottish Australian Investment Company, through their Manager at Sydney, have long directed their attention to the acquisition of Lands known to be rich in Mineral Pro ductions. They are possessors of the various Properties men tioned in this Prospectus, upon some of which valuable de posits of Copper and Coal have already been proved to exist ; but being a Company formed for the Investment of Capital and not to carry on Mining Operations, they are not in a posi tion to develop these Mineral I'ropertles on their own account. It is therefore proposed that a new Company shall be formed, to be called, "The Scottish Australian Mining Company (Limited)," which shall purchase for the sum of Thirty Thou sand Pounds, to be paid partly in Money and partly in Shares, with certain Royalties, the said several Properties and work them, commencing at first on a moderate scale. The Com pany will also take powers to acquire by purchase or other wise such further Mineral Lands iu the Australasian Colonies as shall be deemed desirable. . . The following are two of the principal Properties mentioned in the Prospectus : No. 1. The Good Hope Property.—This Freehold Property comprises about 400 acres of generally good, well-watered land. It is situate near the town of Yass. There exists upon this Estate a remarkable Copper Lode, of great width, and standing above the surface in a continuous line (with slight intermission) for more than a quarter of a mile, and in some placed rising above the level of the ground to the height of twenty-five feet. The lode is strong and large, and stands above the level of the River from forty-five to fifty-five fathoms. Captlin John Dailey, of St. Austell, in Cornwall, of great mining experience, has twice examined this Lode and taken out a ton or two of ore, samples of which, weighing from two to three cwts. each, are now in London. The ore is red oxide, mixed with native copper, and green and blue carbonates ; and specimens, broken promiscu ously from separate blocks now lying at the office of the Company, have been found to yield on assay the high per centage of 214, 27f, 27f, 27f, 35, and 36 per cent. of pure copper : one sample which Mr. Morehead selected and directed to be assayed in the Colony yielded no less than 74j per cent. of pure copper. The ore is similar in character to the ore at the Burra-Burra. It will be seen that the opinion of Captain Dailey, whose Report on this Property will be found in the -Appendix, fully bears out the above statements. No. 6. Dartmouth.—This Freehold l'roperty, consisting of 100 acres, is pronounced by H. T. Flews, Esq., M.E., who made repeated surveys of the Hinder River Coal Field, by instruction of thcosta.airdy of tho soottidt. A.ostralian Invest ment Company, " the best position attainable for commencing operations in coal mining in New South Wales. It is situated about five miles and a half from Newcastle, and con tains, as may be learnt from Mr. flews' Report, which is ap pended, a seam of coal, lying nearly in a horizontal position, of superior quality, and six feet in thickness at the outcrop near the foot of a hill, whence of course it can be worked without the expense of shafts, and the usual accompanying machinery. A portion of this property consists of fertile land, on which a considerable sum has been expended in bringing it into a state of cultivation and erecting a house. This property had been long under the notice of the Ma nager of the Scottish Australian Investment Company, as a most desirable site on which to establish a Colliery ; but he did not succeed in acquiring it until June last ; and the purchase having been then made in contemplation of the immediate formation of the present Company, this valuable estate is now made over at the price at which it was pur chased, with the mere addition of a small commission and expenses. The nine other properties, believed to be of considerable value, are described at length in the full prospectus. Applications for Shares must be made in the annexed form. Each applicant will be required to pay in to one of the Bankers of the Company Five Shillings per share on the num ber of Shares applied for, in part paymmt of the deposit of Ten Shillings per Share; in exchange for which a receipt will be given. In the event of the Directors allotting less than the whole number applied for, the amount paid in to the Bankers will be applied towards the deposit of Ten Shillings per Share payable on the number allotted ; but in case no allotment be made, the money so lodged will be forthwith returned in full. Prospectuses, Mining Reports, Forms of Applications for Shares and of Bankers' Receipts for Deposits, may be 'had of Messrs. Carden and Whitehead. stockbrokers, 2, Royal Ex change-buildings ; at the City Bank ; or the Offices of the Company, 24, Gresham-street, London, where plans of the property, a section of the Good Hope lode, and ore from that property, may be seen and examined.

The Chairman stated at the meeting in Lon don in July last, that the company.weremakin,g from 30 to 40 per cent. on the coal they raised. About six months prior to that meeting the shares stood at £2l per share ; they are now quoted at £35 per share. A seam of coal of six feet in thick ness is usually estimated to produce about 700,000 tons of marketable coal. Parties are now paying, at the present low rate of freight, £2 10s. a ton for English coal delivered at Port Adelaide. *.* The Prospectus, at length, will be found in the "Tithes," "Daily News," "Standard," and "Daily Tele graph " newapapers of Friday the 29th. and "Morning Chroni cle " and " Mining Journal " of the 30th ult.

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 tiny be mitigated, how the sting'ot 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.

(From the Honiteter.) The funeral car. of Napoleon arrived on Friday morning in Paris. Gen. Sir J. Burgoyne, charged by the Queen of England to proceed with it to the Invalides and deliver it up formally, was in attend ance. At a quarter before one, General Count d'Ornano, the governor, and his staff, descended into the courtyard to meet Marshal Valliant, Minis ter of War. In a few minutes after, the English general and Prince Napoleon, who had come from Compiegne expressly for the occasion, arrived, and the ceremony of reception took place in front of the church, where the car had been placed. Sir J . Burgoyne delivered the following address : " Her Majesty the Queen of England being de sirous of offering to his Imperial Majesty a relic which she knows to be interesting to France, has charged me to bring to Paris, and to place at the disposal of the Emperor, the funeral car on which were conveyed to his first tomb the mortal remains of the illustrious founder of the Napoleonian dynasty. The admiration which I feel as a soldier for the exalted genius and exploits of that great warrior has caused me to' feel .the greater pleasure at the choice which my gracious Sovereign has made of me, for the accomplishment of this honourable mission." Prince Napoleon replied :—" General—l receive, in the name of the Emperor, the precious relic which the Queen of England has sent to him. I receive it as a testimony of her desire to efface the poignant remembrances of St. Helena, as a pledge of the friendship which unites the two Sovereigns, and as a proof of the affiance which exists between the two nations. May this alliance long continue, for the happiness of the human race ! May it reserve for the future as great results as those which it has already produced! l am charged by the Emperor to inform you, General, that he particu larly appreciates the choice which the Queen has made of you for this mission. We are happy to have to thank one of those glorious chiefs of the English army, by the side of whomwe have fought, and for whom we have retained such a high esteem." The short ceremonial then terminated. The car is to be placed in the Chapel Saint-Jerome, by the side of the mortal remains of the great man which had been conveyed on it to the tomb. DENSE 'FOGS ON THE MERSEY.—SERIOUS COL LISIONS.--Ort Wednesday morning, at half-past six o'clock, a fog gathered over the Mersey, and in a short time the mist became so dense that it was with great difficulty the Woodside steamers could effect a passage to the landing stage. The other ferry boats did not attempt to cross the river. At a quarter to seven o'clock the steamer Prince, which left Woodside with between 200 and 300 passengers, came into collision with the ship Wallace. Whilst in the act of reversing her engines one of the wheels of the steamer,. which caught in the mooring chain of the ship, was carried away, and it would have sunk but that it was slightly supported by the pedestal bracket. A second col lision took place at half-past nine o'clock, with the Lord Morpeth, another of the Woodside steamers, which ran into the barque Lucy, which was anchored in the middle of the stream, and outward-bound. The barque had some of her planks started, and was obliged to put into the Coburg Dock during the day for repairs... The. steamer sustained no damage. The fog partially cleared off at eleven o'clock, but on Wednesday evening, at eight o'clock, the mist again thickened, and, as in the forenoon, the navigation of the M all but was effected with great difficulty. At nine o'clock the Woodside steamers had ceased • running.— .Liverpoq 4(crcery, SPORTING NOTES. NEWMARKET AND LIVERPOOL. The racing at Newmarket will be long remem bered, for it is many years since the three October gatherings furnished such an abundance of sport. Thus late in the day, however, I am not going over the beaten track which has been so well trodden by every journalist; but I will take another path, and show how the inhabitants amused themselves when the real business of the meetings was over, and I will describe the vagaries which were witnessed on the heath. A variety of entertainments were pro vided to amuse the visitors, but in the race week, so absorbed were turfites in the sport and the betting, that they were almost total failures. Young ladies, therefore, merely warbled their strains in the Public-Hall each evening to a few noisy stable boys, and even Sam Collins could not charm the people from the Subscription Room to listen to his " Limerick Races." In the intervals between the races on the heath, however, " Joey Jones " exhi bited his eccentricities, and elicited shouts of laughter. Now falling, in a well-simulated state of intoxication, between wheels of carriages, and now shouting, in answer to a steniorian offer to take odds, " I know you would, you'd take the roof off a house," or " you'd take anything you could reach without a ladder," he was quite the clowAlighe ring and to t ie admiration of the' little boys. JOey, a hint to thee, thy humour is at times right pleasant, and it really relieved the monotony of the proceedings on the heath, but remember to restrain thy wit within the bounds of decency before ladies. Thou art a merry rogae, and this hint may serve thee. In the evening " Joey" was great at his soiree, and he was surrounded by those " choice spirits" who listed not of the doings in the room. In the streets, too, he played many merry pranks, greatly to the astonishment of the inhabitants, and to the amusement of those persons who were aware of his eccentricties. He astounded one poor fellow by jumping into his cart, and immediately falling prostrate, as if in a fit ; and a butcher's boy, with a tray of meat, enabled him to play off more tricks than a clown in a pantomime. During the week Sayers and Paddock twice came into collision, and one night a repetition of the recent fight for the championship seemed inevitable. After exchanging blows, however, the friends of the pugnacious parties interfered, and Toni Sayers marched off heedless of Paddock's invitation to him to strip and have a " set to." Still, notwithstanding those little "shindies," the town of a night was remarkably quiet, and no damage was done to make the inhabitants repent the presence of the race folk. Indeed, it is surprising, considering the immense number of all sorts and conditions of people in the town, that so much order prevailed. Police-con stable Steggles scarcely found his duties increased. It was quite amusing, on the days following the meeting, to see the people " cleaning up." The inhabitants made a general " turn . out" to set their houses in order for the winter months. Such a cleaning and scouring were never seen, and char women could command any rate of remuneration for their labours. By the Tuesday the good folk of the town had recovered their equanimity, and had settled down to enjoy themselves, after contributing so much to the enjoyment of others. In the evening of that day a soiree was held in the Public Hall, which was decorated with flowers, and which was filled with the choicest curiosities, contributed by the gentry of the town and neighbourhood. The principal families of the town W ere present. Mr. E. Ball, M.P., presided. A gentleman from Lon don read a most appropriate and interesting paper on literary institutions ; there was excellent sing ing ; and a band, composed principally of gentle men dwelling in the town,. played some of the most popular music with considerable effect. It will be seen, therefore,:that the inhabitants of Newmarket can really take their thoughts from the stable and the turf, and enjoy themselves in a rational and intellectual manner. This soiree, too, was pro moted by the race judge—himself an excellent musician ; and it- would, but for a domestic afflic tion, have had the assistance of the clerk of the scales, who, as the - sailor in the farce would say, can play the fiddle like an angel. The festivities at Newmarket have not yet ceased, for the inhabi tants are now in all the gaiety and fun of their November Fair. But, now to business. Mr. Topham ought surely to command success for his Autumn Gathering at Aintree, for his enterprise and liberality in endea vouring to establish it cannot be too warmly ap plauded. He has issued a most attractive pro gramme, and there is really every reason to anti cipate a capital meeting. lam somewhat puzzled how to deal with the probabilities, for little or nothing is at present known res;ecting, the in tended competitors. Dawson may win the Aintree Plate with either Broadlands or Buckthcirn ; his most formidable antagonist will, perhaps, be Convict. Thirty youngsters are weighted for the Nursery, the most attractive names being Solomon, Conjuror, Palm Leaf, and Willie Wright. If Broadlands be brought out for the Sefton Handicap I shall be inclined to trust him, but as he is backed for the Cup he may be reserved for that event, I shall, therefore,' select Ancient Briton and Julia. On Wednesday I shall refer fully to the Cup chances. At present my fancy points to Under hand, Special Licence, and King of the Gipsies ; of these, my greatest partiality is decidedly in favour of Mr. ?Merry's horse. Nov. 8. A FRESH MAN. ARRIVALS AT LIVERPOOL. Gorsehill, Nelly, Satinstone, Rosedale, and Target. PROFESSOR BLACKIE ON MR. GLAD STONE'S HOMER. In concluding a lecture on Homer and Homeric poetry, delivered on the opening of his classes for the session in the University of Edinburgh on Tues day last, Professor Blackie made the following re marks on Mr. Gladstone's "Homer and the Homeric Age:"—" I think (he said) you are entitled to have my plain and undisguised opinion on the merits of this book, and I will give my opinion plainly and without reserve. Mr. Gladstone is a learned, enthu siastic, most ingenious and subtle expositor of Homer—always eloquent, and sometimes brilliant ; but he is not sound. His method is often uncon sciously sophistical—for in conscious purpose he is always as honest as in aim he is lofty ; his logic is feeble, almost puerile, and his results arc not seldom - worthless, - always suspicious. He errs egregiously in the most important matters, for two reasons— first, because l has not the key of the position ; secondly, because his tac• tical niovements, though full • of graceful dash and brilliancy, are utterly destitute of sobriety, of cau tion, and even of common sense. I consider Mr. Gladstone's book beautiful as a feat, but worthless as an achievement; pleasant as a stimulus to the dull, dangerous as a guide to the ignorant. Its virtues and its vices may be shortly summed up in one word—it is altogether and gloriously hobby horsical. The man who rides his hobby with such a free and unlimited range as Mr. Gladstone is sure not to write a stupid book—is sure to do consider able execution in the way of amusing, and it may be also instructing, his readers. But he is pretty sure also not only to make himself ridiculous, but to indulge the dangerous habit of running down his neighbours violently and attempting to bring all the world despotically under the subjection of his hobby. This Mr. Gladstone has done, and not by halves. Still, his errors are those of a man whom, while we reprove, we must admire ; and it would ill become the professional scholar to receive with other than a grateful welcome the accomplished statesman who employs his leisure hours in plait ing wreaths for the brows of time-honoured bards, even when the taste of the particular decoration is more than questionable. The,ugh he has written not the best book on Homer, there are few public men in Europe so pure-minded, so quick-sighted, and so highly-cultivated as Mr, Gladstone." AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. The Royal Mail steamship Africa has arrived from New York with advices from thence to the 27th ult. She brings 85 passengers and 400,000 dols. on freight. Sir William Gore Ouseley set out on his mission on the 27th in the Valorous. A Washington de spatch of the 26th states that Admiral Kellett with the British West India squadron is to back Sir William, should General Walker or any other filibusters attempt to land in Nicaragua. The ad miral is instructed, upon application of the existing Government of that Republic, to use his force against the filibusters. Another filibustering expedition under Walker against Nicaragua is expected shortly to take place under a commercial disguise. The general has by circular notified that a steamer is to leave Mobile on the 10th November for San Juan del Norte, and that she will take any passengers and freight that may offer. Walker's movements arc regarded with much in terest at Washington, especially in diplomatic circles, it being represented that he is well supplied with men and money. The yellow fever continued to prevail at New Orleans and Charleston, but had nearly disappeared from Charleston. Late Mexican advices from a high source state that Viadaurri had warned all Mexicans to leave San Luis Potosi within twenty-four hours. The Captain-General of Cuba had ordered two vessels of war to Tampico to protect the Spaniards. Mira mon was about to march towards Tampico to attack Garza. The fifth overland Californian mail, with ad vices to the sth ult., arrived at St. Louis on the evening of the 26th, five hours before its time. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Transactions on the New York Stock Exchange continue fully as large as noted by last arrival, while prices have advanced and continuo to tend upwards. Foreign ex changes were fairly active, and rates steady. On London, 1091 to 1091, bankers only asking the outside figure. On Paris 515 to 5 121. Bank statement was generally re garded as satisfactory ; it gives evidence of increased depo sits. The sales of cotton were to a fair extent, and closed firm upon the basis of 12i cents for middling upland. The flour market was heavy for common grades, which were easier, while the higher grades were unchanged ; wheat was active ; barley steady ; oats in good demand ; pork was in active demand, and closed on higher rates ; beef was steady; prime mess was nominal ; hams were dull ; cut moats were quiet, and prices unchanged; butter was steady; freights were firmer and tended upwards. ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF BALTIMORE, LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. Last night the Liverpool, New York, and Phila delphia Steamship Company's screw steamship City of Baltimore, Capt. Leitch, arrived in the Mersey from New York with direct advices thence to the 23d ult. The City of Baltimore brings the United States mails, 50 cabin, and 138 steerage passengers, and 368,196 dollars in specie. On the 23d October, off Sandy Hook, passed the barque Mejo, bound in ward ; on the 29th, in lat. 45.45 N., lon. 54.10 W. passed a steamer bound west, supposed to be the Fulton; on the 31st in lat. 49 N., lon. 45 W., passed two steamers bound west, supposed to be the Royal mail steamer America from hence, and the screw steamer from Bremen ; on Ist November, in let. 53 42 N., long. 35 36 W., passed a screw steamer bound west, ship rigged, with funnel abaft main mast ; and on the sth, off Crookhaven, passed the barque Empress or Express, bound in. A Washington despatch of the 22d says :—" It is understood here that Sir William Gore Ouseley will leave for Central America to-morrow. The treaties he is instructed to negotiate, drafts of which have already been prepared, will be entirely satisfactory to our Government. It was desired that our treaty should be first concluded and rati fied, in order thatthc English treaty might be made to harmonise with it; but as delay with us was in evitable, it was thought best for Sir William to proceed with his mission, and secure by negotiation that stereotyped article in recent treaties—' All other privileges granted to the most favoured nations.' This would secure perfect equality, and any want of harmony can be afterwards corrected. Lord Napier, who has returned in fine health from his northern tour, will leave again to-morrow to attend the Richmond Fair." A despatch announcing that Vice-President Breckinridge had written a letter urging Douglas's election, has created great excitement in Washing ton. The deaths in Savannah on the 20th were five, none of which were from yellow fever. At New Orleans, on the 21 st, the deaths from fellow fever were 41. We have Leavenworth. dates of the 20th instant. A report of the Lawrence Company had ruturned from the South Platte Mines, bringing news to Sept. 20. Their accounts fully authenticate the existence of gold all along the South Platte, having prospected everywhere with fair success. Most of the miners were seeking winter quarters at Bent's and St. Vrain's forts. The returned party designed wintering at Lawrence, where tkey were tendered a public reception. They will return to the mines in the spring with a large outfit. Numbers con tinue to leave here with the intention of wintering along the road. The Salt Lake mail, with dates of 25th Septem ber, reached St. Joseph on the 16th. Sixty trains hail passed Fort Bridger up to the 22d ult., 20 were met on the Sweetwater, and eight more north of the crossing of the Platte. Snow was encountered east of Fort Laramie. Two companies of cavalry, returning via Pike's Peak, were passed on the Big Blue. Judge Eekle was met on the Big Sandy. Col. Wilson was at O'Fallon's Bluff; "progressing finely. The Indians were numerous but peaceable. It was thought that several trains would be overt2ken by snow in the mountains, and much suffering was anticipated. Business was very brisk at Salt Lake. Trains were constantly arriving from California with provisions. There was good feeling between the Mormons and Gentiles. The former speak in high terms of Governor Cumming. Gcn. Johnston's command consists of 7,000 to 8,000 men, including troops and employes, all of whom were consolidated in one grand encampment, and would remain together during the winter. There were also about 4,000 at Fort Bridger, under Col. Cambray. Col Morrison, of the 7th Infantry, had arrived at Camp Floyd. The examination of parties charged with traffick ing in slaves on board the ship Haidee has been postponed without date. Deputy Marshal Rynders left New York in the City of Baltimore, having in charge Jacob Egbert, arrested under the extradition treaty for commit ting forgeries in Bavaria. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, OCT. 22, 6 P.M. 'The Europa's mails from England to Oct. 9, which were delivered hero this morning, are anticipated by a later des patch, by four days, from the Galway steamer at St. John's, Newfoundland. The publication of this news, which, financially, is probably the most buoyant we have yet re ceived, had the effect to further stimulate our Stock Ex change, as well as to increase the anxiety of private money lenders to employ their surplus means even at the lowest rates of interest now prevailing on demand loans. The dim • count brokers aro doing but little to-day in the way of mercantilebills. Most of the good paper offered is taken up at bank. The stockbrokers get money, on call, at from 3 to 4 per cent. The exchanges for the European packet sailing to-mor row were done to-day at 1091 to 110 for bank bills. on Lon don, and 109 i to 1091 for merchant bills. Francs are cheaper, ranging 5.161 f. to 5.121 f. to the dollar. The market for railroad shares has improved materially during thetweek. The transactions have been large in New York Central Shares, Chicago and Rock Island, and Galena and Chicago. Few are yet quoted above par, viz., Panama 119 to 1191, Now Jersey 129, Newhaven and Hartford 1171 to 1181. Michigan Southern Guaranteed Stock is quoted 531 to .54. Stonington 69, Delaware and Lackawanna 25 to 30, Macon and Western, 78 to 80, Pennsylvania Central 86 to 87. Since the close of last week New York Central has improved 1, Reading I, Hudson River 11, Michigan Central Michigan Southern 1, Panama 1, Illinois Central 31, Chicago and Rock Island 21. The sales in cotton embraced about 1,000 bales, closing without change in prices. A private despatch from Mobile, received yesterday, quoted middling cotton at 1 1 1 and freights at 15-32. Flour was in good supply and prices under foreign advices per Europa were heavy, and common grades were easier, while the higher class of brands were unchanged. Sales were made.to a fair extent. Wheat was heavy and lower, but with more inquiry at the decline. Corn was heavy and cheaper. The sales embraced Western mixed at about 621 e. a 621 c., and prime yellow do. at 71c. Pork was less buoyant and active, with sales of mess at 16 dols. 3.5 e. al6 dols.. 49e., and primp at 14 dole. 10c. Beef was steady. Sugars are without change of moment, with sales of about 400 hhds. Cuba at rates given in another column. Coffee was steady, but quiet. Tho firmness of freights to Liverpool was maintained, with rather more offering. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 22.—Cotton active; sales to-day 11,.500 bales at 111 e. to 11/c. for middling ; the sales of the week sum at 50,000 bales, and the receipts 60,000 ; the stock is 173,500 bales, against 104,500 last year; the re ceipts up to the present time, as compared with those of last year, are 90,000 bales ahead. A REASONABLE GUESS.—A tipsy Irishman, wh o was leaning against a lamp-post as a funeral procession was passinK by, was asked who was dead ?.

CAPTURE OF .REFORMATO. oYS• On the 30th of September two boys, who had been committed to the Manchester And Salford Reformatory, absconded, and so cleverly was their escape effected, that for some time no eine whatdver could be obtained to their whereabouts although every effort was made, and a detective‘ officer em ployed to discover their retreat. Handbills were then circulated, offering a reward for their recovery, but still without success. It is customary to take a boy's photograph on his admission to this reforma tory ; and under the direction of Captain Palin, copies of those of the two absconders were last week despatched to the principal seaports and large towns in the kingdom. On their receipt in Leeds the master of the 'mendicity office immediately re cognised them as having been relieved there under fictitious names, stating that they were " mill hands" from Bury, on their way to York and Hull. Communications conveying this intelligence were at once addressed to these towns, and two days ' afterwards they w ere cap t ure d at H ullf by an officer, who instantly recognised them from having seen their photographs. On being brought to the police office they told a very plausible story, strongly de nying all knowledge whatever of Manchester, or any connexion with its reformatory. Suddenly the police superintendent held up before each of the boys his own photograph. Like an electric shock, the effect was instantaneous ; they changed colour, and in a few moments one of them very dogg edly exclaimed, " I'm beaten; we'll give in now...' telegram was then despatched to Manchester, and on the following day the governor safely returned with them to their proper quarters at Blackleg. The criminal history of one of these boys, a native of Birmingham, is most remarkable, as well as painful. Though only 17 years of age, he has been once in each of the following prisons under sentence : London (five years ago), Liverpool, Nottingham, Bristol, and one (name uncertain) ; twice each in Worcester, Coventry, Warwick, and Salford—three times in Stafford, five times in Birmingham, and twice in Manchester, whence he was committed to the reformatory ; in all, 23 times, exclusive of upwards of 100 apprehen sions, with discharges for unproved or minor offences, committed in various towns in England. It is gratifying to state that, although 30 com mitted boys, principally from Manchester and Sal ford, and mostly constituting the cream of juvenile criminality, have been received in this reformatory in the past 12 months, and although the facilities for absconding are necessarily numerous, yet such is the moral influence exerted, united with the main tenance of strict surveillance and discipline, that (with the exception stated) not a single escape has been effected since it became a certified institution. —Manchester Guardian. SUICIDE ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY. The subject of the late deliberate suicide on the Midland Railway, near Cheltenham, proves to be a man named Edward Brown, a gardener, who re sided with his wife and family at Shurdington, a village in the neighbourhood. He left his home shortly before 8 o'clock on the morning of his death, his family being under the impression that he was merely going to his garden ; but he did not return again, and in the course of the day the dreadful in telligence was brought them that he had been cut to pieces on the railway. The third-class train from Birmingham was rather late on Wednesday , morn ing, and on arriving near the Sugar-loaf-bridge, at Churchdown, half-way between Cheltenham and Glocester, where the train was travelling at the rate of 40 miles an hour, the driver saw the deceased totter down the embankment on the Glocester side of the bridge, and deliberately walk to the rails along which the train was approaching. He then placed himself face downwards upon the metals, his chest resting upon the rails, and in this position the engine and carriages passed over him, his body literally cut in two, his headllashed to pieces, and an arm cut off. The train was distant about 100 yards from the deceased when he was first seen by the engine -driver, while the act itself was obsemod-hy an old man, named Paul, who was _watching the train from the Sugar-loaf bridge. Paul did not, however, observe the deceased until he had ifot down the embankment. It was stated at the in quest (the evidence given at which is comprised in the above) that Brown had been drinking "hard," and lately had evinced symptoms of insanity. John Fox, the engine driver, made the following statement,—" I am an engine driver in the employ of the Midland Railway Company. On Wednesday morning I drove the train which leaves Birming ham at 7.5 and arrives in Glocester at 10.5. Nothing unusual happened with the train except a little delay. I Tas behind time about 15 minutes at Cheltenham. Between Cheltenham and Glocester I was going from 40 to 45 miles per hour, which is about the speed allowed, and when I got to the Sugar-loaf bridge at Churchdown, I saw a person step from the embankment at the back of the bridge. I should think I was then about 100 yards from the bridge. I fancied he was in the act of stepping across the line, and I thought he would not have time to get clear of the train. I sounded the whistle immediately, and when I got within about 30 or 40 yards of him I saw him in the act of lying down across the line. I am satisfied he knew it was a narrow gauge train. I felt the surge of the engine as it passed over the man. I left the fireman in charge of the engine and went back with the two guards to ascertain what had occurred. The train had passed over the centre of deceased's body. My opinion is that he deliberately com mitted suicide." The jury said they were satisfied, from the evidence, that the deceased committed suicide, not being of sound mind. He has left a wife and two children. THE POISONINGS AT BRADFORD. BRADFORD, SATURDAY. Three more deaths have this afternoon been added to the fearful list of casualties arising out of this awful catastrophe, making the total number of deaths amount to 20. During the afternoon Mrs. Stead, a woman residing in Croft-street, reported to the police that her daughter, Jane Ainsworth, wife of Jacob Ainsworth, of Wake-lane, Leeds, was in Bradford on Saturday night last, purchased some lozenges at Hardaker's stall, and took them with her to Leeds. She had two children aged two and four years respectively, to whom she ga ve some of the lozenges, which they ate. She also ate some of them herself, and all three were taken ill, and died this morning. Mrs. Ainsworth was 34 years of age. This morning three inquests were held by Mr. Dyson, coroner, at Heaton, L ow M oor , an d Little Horton ; that at the latter place being held at the Punch Bowl Inn, on the body of Benjamin Crab tree, ageo. 16, son of Andrew Crabtree, power-loom weaver, Jacob -street. _ _ _ The Coroner suggested that all that would be necessary would be to call witnesses to identify the man of whom the lozenges were purchased, and then to prove the cause of death, after which they could return a verdict that the deceased had died from poison. The jury acquiesced in this course, and Richard Standring stated that he accompanied the deceased on Saturday night to Hardaker's stall, and pur chased a halfpennyworth of lozenges. He was served by John Broadley Edmondson, Hardaker's assistant. Mr. John Beach, surgeon, said he had made a post mortem examination of the body of the deceased 60 hours after death. Externally, the body had a quantity healthy appearance. He examined the contents of the stomach wit h the usual tests for discovering of arsenic, and foun d a considerab le poison. n On the addition of the ammoniated sul phate o f co pper to the contents, th ere was a green deposit, showing the presence of arsenic. The next test was with the ammoniated nitrate of sil ver, which produced a yellow deposit, showing the presence of arsenic. The thi r d t est was with-lime water, which had the same result. lie felt satis fied death was caused by poisoning by arsenic. The quantity taken must have been considerable, each ounce of mint lozenges containing a quarter of an ounce of arsenic. Three grains would be sufficient to kill the deceased. The Coroner again suggested the propriety of the jury returning an op en and formal verdict ; and after a f ew minutes ' consultation they agreed that the " Deceased died from eating a lozenge which contained arsenic powder." The inquests on the bodies of those who died within the borough are to be resumed on Tuesday. A subscription has been opened on behalf of the families of the sufferers, who chiefly belong to the working classes. The Mayor, Mr. Henry Brown, headed the list with five guineas, and in a short time afterwards 36 guineas were put down ; but there .is little doubt but it will be greatly aug mented when it becomes generally known.

" PETER EWART, Chairman. " Liverpool, Sept. 29." THE VANGUARD ROCK. PLYMOUTH, Saturday.—During the Russian war, when the entrance to Sebastopol was interrupted by sunken ships, several cylindrical powder maga zines, the invention of Mr. Armstrong, of New castle, were sent out, but not used, and one of these has since been transferred by the War Department to the Lords of the Admiralty. In consequence of the successful operations for clearing the obstruc tions in New York harbour by simple blasting on the rock, when the water alone became the ful crum, their lordships determined to use this maga zine in order to reduce the 'Vanguard Rock, which has only about 18 feet over it at low tide, andwhich lies nearly mid-channel between the Sound and Ha moaze. The magazine consisted of an outer cylin der, 14 feet long by 4 feet 6 inches diameter, and an inner cylinder 10 feet long by 2 feet 8 inches thus leaving a considerable air-chamber between the two. -The lesser cylinder_ contained. more than l a ton of gunpowder, connected with which were certain wires intended to convey ignition by the aid of a galvanic battery. This mode having failed, two Bickford's fuses were tried on Thursday, but one of these burst only to within 11 feet, and the other within four feet of the charge. As the mode of ignition was not the special object in view, and as the title was dropping fast and the winter ap proaching, it was determined yesterday to apply six Bickford's fuses, selecting the best parts from those sent, all of which had been a long time in store. The arrangements were most complete. A number of guardboats were placed at the point of danger, and as the expected time approached they diverged in a constantly-increasing circle, and en tirely prevented accident. The explosion occurred exactly at the time named-17 minutes to 5 p.m., half an hour before high water. The magazine had been placed in a concave hollow of the rock between two hummocks, about 40 feet below the surface of the sea. A palpable shaking of Stonehouse Point, 350 yards off, composed of solid limestone rock; preceded the appearance of a pyramidical cone of snow-white water, apparently in a boiling state. The rise was variously estimated at from 50 to 70 feet, and the base 100 to 150 feet in diameter. It was some seconds before this magnificent object gradually subsided, when a circle of ten times the size enclosed a turbulent sea, the darkness of which gave conclusive evidence of the powerful effects of the charge among the rocks and soil below, The smoke from the explosion was entirely absorbed in the water. An immense quantity of fish was sent to the surface and easily caught. The operations were under the directions of Capt. Jerningharn, of her Majesty's gunnery-ship Cambridge, of this port, and were carried out by Lieut. Dawson and a suffi cient staff of subordinate officers of that ship. Sir William Harris, the inventor of the lightning con ductor, and Mr. Hearder, of Plymouth, [cave the advantage of their experience to Capt. Jernmgham. Over the Vanguard Rock there is constantly run ning a strong current, the velocity of which in creases as the spring tides advance. At times there are two currents. the one below running in a direc tion contrary to that above. This condition of the sea impedes the attempts of the diver who has been down tc-day to examine the rock. He has, how ever, ascertained that the rock is considerably shaken and split. Large pieces from 1 cwt. to 2 tons are lying near, and one portion of the cylinde r about 501 b. or 601 b., has been recovered. It will be necessary to postpone a more complete survey until the tides slacken. IMPORTANT CONVICTIONS. Some cases of an important character came be fore the magistrates in petty sessions assembled at Swansea on Thursday last, in connection with the recent disastrous explosion at the Cy fing Colliery, near that town. Mr. Thomas Walters, owner of the colliery, was charged, on the information of the Government Inspector, Mr. Evans, with several infractions of the rules for the management of collieries —viz.:-1, for not providing the steam boiler of the colliery with a proper steam gauge ; 2, for not having an adequate break attached to every machine used for lowering or raising persons in the pit; 3, for not having a proper indi ca t or to show the position of the loadin the pit or shaft ; 4, for not having an adequate amount of ventil a ti on i n th e p it. Th e d e f en d ant pleaded guilty to the first three of these charges, but denied the charge of insufficient ventilation. Mr. Tripp, solicitor, of Swansea, in stating the case, said the information had been lodged by the Government Inspector of Collieries of the district, under directions received from the Home Seen tary, and that he believed but for the defendant's neglect in the above particulars the late unfortunate explo sion in the colliery, whereby six men lost their lives, would not have happened. The defendant's answer to the charge was that he had left these matters to his manager, Rees Tl:omas, and he had thought they were properly attended to. The Bench inflicted the full penalty in each of the three cases to which the defendant had pleaded guilty, and the fourth charge, therefore, was not pressed. Rees Thomas, the manager of the colliery, was then charged with violating the rules of the Act 18 and 19 Viet., by neglecting to give a copy of the rules to each man in the pit. Mr. Thos. Walters, the proprietor of the pit, proved that he supplied Thomas with printed copies of the rules in English and a nd Mr. Evans, the Government In spector, Welsh,prOved that, on the inquest on the six men killed by the explosion mentioned above, ThomaB deposed that he could not recollect giving a copy of the rules to any of the colliers except to David Tones. Several cases were gone into, and two w proved, two others being ad m itt e d b y the defen dant.ere The ms;istrates inflicted - the full penalty of gO and costs In each caw, mall and due any ,fined kt to 'heat ds of aper. tgain , and
