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 e 4 ocerning the food, our wonder will cease.' A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a .erfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor leY'a 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 and testimony of tho3e 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.

PROSPECTUS. 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 tioi to develop these Mineral Properties 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 I'roperties and work them, commencing at first on a moderate s tale. 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 followin;;;;cWO of principal Properties mentioned in the Prospectus : No. I. 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 places 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 ofwhieh, 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 211, 27k, 27i, 271, 35, and 36 per cent. of pure copper : one sample which 3lr. Morehead selected and directed to be assayed in the Colony yielded no less than 741 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 Capiimin Dailey, whose Report on this Property will be found in. the Appendix, fully bears out the above statements. No. 6. Dartmouth.—This Freehold Property, consisting of 100 acres, is pronounced by H. T, Plows, Esq., M.E. who made repeated surveys of the Hunter River Coal Field by instruction of the Manager of the Scottish Alls .f.alian Invest ment Company, " the best position a:tainzble for commencing operations in coal ratan - 1g in - Nevt Shuth Wales. It is situated about live miles and a half from Newcastle, and con tains, as may be learnt from Mr. Plews' Report, which is ap pended, a seam of caal, lying nearly in a horizontal position, of superior quality, and six feat 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 aclompanying machinery. A portion of this property consists of fertile land, en which a considerable suns has been expended in bringing it into a state of cultivation and erecting a house._ This property had been Ion; under the notice of the Ma nager o 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 ofthe Company Five Shillings per share on the num ber of Shares applied for, in part payment 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. Prospectuse3, Mining Reports, Forms of Applications for Shares a - id 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.

CAPTURE OF REFORMATORY BO I' S • On the 30th of September two boys, who hqd been committed to the Manchester and Salford Reformatory, absconded, and so cleverly was their escape effected, that for some time no clue whatever could be obtained to their whereabouts, although every effort was made, and a detective officer em tpilioeynecdirtcouldaitscer o e ff r o but still without success. It is customary to take a e r t n e g i r a r r e e t l r r e a a r t d . f r H t a h n e d i r b r i l e l: N 7 e - r e y r e , 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 „ L m ee i ds ll fitheteitmioausster names,of the st m at e i n ng diei t t h y a o t ffi t e hey eimm w e e di re ately re cognised th em as h av i ng b een rel i eved t h ere un d er 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 captured at Hull 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 doggedly exclaimed, ‘!l'm beaten; we'll give in now." A telegram was then despatched to Manchester, and on the followine , day the governor safely returned with them to their proper quarters at Blackley. 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 fellqwing 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 Manehester, 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 =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 th e engine and carriages p asse d over him, his body literally cut in two, his head dashed 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 observed by 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 got 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 symptomg 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 was 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 ot t him I saw him i n 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 lie 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. .. ti _' - `~~ ._ -- -- - ~ '., ~ -~---~ L iejs-stA THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1858. PUBLICATIONS.

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 lake 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 clown to the ring and to the admiration of the little boy's. 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 rogue, and this hint may serve thee. In the evening " Joey" wts great at his soiree, and he was surrounded by those "choice spirits" who listed not of the doings i 4 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 ec eentricties. 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 Pp.ddock.twiee 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 Tom Sayers marched off heedless of Paddock's invitati on t o 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 were 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 melt 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 might surely to command success for his Autumn Gathering at Aintree, for his enterprise and liberality-in. endea -louring 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 respecting the in tended competitors. Dawson may-win the Aintree Plate with either Broadlands or Buckthorn ; 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,"selcct Ancient Briton and Julia. Ott Wednesday I shall refer fully to the Cup chances. At .present my fancy points to Under hand, SpeGial 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 MACKIE 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 scionsly sophistical—for in conscious purpose he is always as honest as in aim he is lofty ; hi s l og ic is feeble, almost puerile, and his results are not seldom worthless, always suspicious. He errs egregiously in the most important matters, for two reasons— first, because he has not the key of the position ; secondly, because his tac• tical movements, though full of graceful dash and brilliancy, are utterly destitute of sobriety, of cau tion, and even of common sense. I con sid er M r . 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 Trader 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. Though he has written not the best book on Homer, there are few public men in Europe so pure-minded, s o qu i c k -sighted, and so highly-c l 4ltiyated 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 Juan d is to l e e l Norte,l leave Mobile n that she will take any passengers and freight that oeth notified November tha a forsteamer San may offer. Walker's movements .are. regarded with much in terest at Washington, especially in diplomatic circles, it being representedtha:t 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 waz 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 continue to tend upNiards. Foreign ex changes were fairly active, and rates steady. On London, 1091 to 109/, 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 12/ 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 meats 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 l a t. 53 42 N., long. 35 36 Ar., 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 Ouselcy 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 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 Breckinrvige 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 21st, the deaths from fellow fever were 41. _ We have Leavenworth dates of the 20th instant. A report of the Lawrence Company had returned 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 they 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 had 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 Eckle 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 overtaken by snow in the mountains, and much suffering was anticipated. Business was very brisk at Salt Lake. Trains were constantly arriving from California w ith prov i s i ons . Th ere was goo d feeling between the Mormons and Gentiles. The former speak in high terms of Governor Cumming. Gen. 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 Itynders 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 here 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 en demand loans. The dis count brokers are 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 109 i to 110 for bank bills on Lon don, and 1091 to 1091 for merchant bills. Francs are cheaper, ranging 5.161 f. to 5.12 ff. to the dollar. The market for railroad shares hasinaproved materially during thelweek. 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 119 k, New Jersey 129, Newhaven and Hartford 1171 to 1181. Michigan Southern Guaranteed Stock is quote 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 lf, Michigan Central f, Michigan SOuthern 1, Panama 1 , Illino is Central 3 1 , 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 111 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 c. a 621 c., and prime yellow do. at 71c. Pork was less buoyant and active, with sales of mess at 16 dols. 35c. al6 dole. 49c., and prime at 14 dols. 10e. 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. The firmness of freights to Liverpool was maintained, with rather more offering. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 22.—Cotton active ; sales to-day 11,500 bales at Mc. to 111 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 104,600 last year; the re ceipts up to the present time, as compared with those of last year, are 90,000 bales ahead. A REASON 4.13 LE GUESS. —A tipsy Irishman, wh o was leaning against a lamp-post as a funeral procession was passing by, was asked who was dead ? " I can't ex actly say, sir," said he, "but I preslune it is the jintlezaan 43, th THE POISONINGS AT BRADFORD. BRADFORD, SATURDAY. Three more deathshave this afternoon been added Lo 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 gave 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, Low Moor ' and Little Horton ; that at th e l a tt er pl ace b e i ng held at the Punch Bowl Inn, on the body of Benjamin Crab tree, aged 16, son of Andrew4Crabtree, 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 healthy appearance. He examined the contents of the stomach with the usual tests for discovering arsenic, and found a considerable quantity of poison. On the addition of the ammoniated sul phate of copper to the contents, there was a green deposit, shelving the presence of ar sen i c next test was with the ammoniated nitrate. ver, which produced a_yellow depesit , of The . sil showing the presence of arsenic. The third test was with lime water, which had the sam e l satis fied death was ca use d b quantity taken must b b ounce of mint l ozenges containing a quarter of an ounce of arsenic. y poisoning t. by arsenic. The He felt ave een considerable, ea c h Three grains liould be sufficient to kill the deceased. - The Coroner again suggested the propriety of the jury returning an open and formal verdict ; and after a few 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.

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, &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.

(From the Moniteurj 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 Vaillant, Minis ter of War. 'ln 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 gieat 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 alliance which exists between the two nations. May this alliance long continue, for the happiness of the human race J May it reserve for the future as great results as those which it has already produced J lam charged by the Emperor to inform you, General, that he particu larly appreciates the choice which the Queen has mail° 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 whom we 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.—On 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. "Nkrhilst 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 m bit er sk o straam, and outward bo_und. The barque had some of her planks staked, and was obliged to put into the Coburg Dock during the day for repairs. The steamer sustained no damage.

" The memorial of the Liverpool, East India, and China Association by their chairman showeth, that your memorialists are deeply interested in the de velopment of the trade between this empire, the Eastern Archipelago, and China. " That our free communication with the shores of the Chinese Empire is now more than ever it question of national and growing importance. " That the command of the north-west coast of Borneo by the British Crown is of vital importance to the preservation of this communication : " 1. Because it has been ascertained that therein exists a large coalfield suitable for steam purposes, the possession of which will carry with it the nau tical supremacy of the eastern seas ; " 2. Because at this point, facing Singapore, is to be found the best intermediate station between Sin gapore and Hong Kong for the electric telegraph ; " 3. Because the imposition of a foreign nation on that coast might be used adversely, and prove a source. of embarrassment and misfortune in our commercial relations with China, and that the pos session of this point is alone wanting to complete the political supremacy of Holland in the Eastern Archipelago, and _ "4: That on the north-western coast of Borneo, in the territory of Sarawak, there already exists a considerable English community of growing commer cial importance, its trade being in 1847 £30,000, and in 1857 £300,000. The possession by England of a territory so situated must in years to come be of vital importance to her as a maritime and commer cial nation. " That your memorialists have viewed with the greatest sympathy and the deepest admiration the career of Sir James Brooke iu the eastern seas. " That through the exertions - of Sir times Brooke piracy has been suppressed, good government established, commerce protected, and Christianity fostered in that distant region. `‘ That by his exertions and by th es a cr ifi ce o f hi s private fortune the task of England has been lightened in those distant regions of the globe, and a future for her commerce has been prepared ; that the time has arrived when the burden should be shifted from the shoulders of one individual on whose single life the prosperity of Sarawak and the well being of the whole continent of Borneo at present hang to those of the nation : that your memorialists therefore, without presuming to dictate to the Go vernment the terms upon which the change should be effected, are of opinion that the British nation should now assume the responsibilities which he has incurred, and make him liberal and proper compensation for the sacrifices he has madeand the services he has rendered to the British name. " That your memorialists see no reason why a policy already inaugurated by previous Govern ments should now be abandoned, but, on the con trary, the strongest reasons why it should be pro• secuted with greater vigour than ever. " Your memorialists, therefore, pray that her Majesty's Government will bring the matter to a speedy and favourable decision in such manner as may maintain the national faith, which has been pledged to the inhabitants of the country, may best promote the interests of the British nation, and satisfy the just claims of Sir James Brooke. " PETER EWART, Chairman. " Liverpool, S,ept. 29." ) -- E EASTERN ARCII7PEZIGO. - CHINA. s THE VANGUARD ROCK. PLYMOUTH, Saturday.—During the Russian war, when the entrance to Sebastopol was interrupted ' by sunken ships, several cylindrical powder maga ! Sines, 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, and which 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 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 tide was dropping f as t an d 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 &anger, 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. Jerningham, 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, have the advantage of their experience to Capt. Jerningham. 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 to-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 cylinder about 501. or 601 b., has been recovered. It will be necessary to postpone a more complete survey until the tides slacken. IMPORTANT CONVICTIOXS. Some cases of an important character came be fore the magistrates in petty sessions assembled Thomas at Swansea ou Thursday last, i n connection with the recent disastrous expl os i on at the - fing Colliery, near that town. Mr. Walters, owner of the colliery, was charged, on the information of the Government Inspector, Mr. Evans, with several infractions of the rules management of ofcolli providing man th a e g for e boiler collieries--viz, for not of the colliery with a proper steam gauge • 2, for not having an adequate break attached to eve or raisin— bf- persons ryrmac . hine used for lowering the it 3 for not having a proper indicator to show the position of the load in the pit or shaft •4 , , for not having an adequate _amount of ventil a ti on i n t h e p i t. Th e defendant pleaded guilty to the first three of these charges, but_ denied the charge of insufficient ventilati on . 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 Secretary, 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 Thomas, 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 a 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 Welsh, and Mr. Evans, the Government In s. that, on the inquest on the 81X pector, proved men killed by the explosion mentioned above, Thomas deposed that he could not recollect giving a copy of the rules to .any of the colliers except to David Jones. Several cases were gone int o , and two 'proved; two others being admitted ythe defen dant. The magistrates 'inflicted the full penalty of 45' and cods iu each me,
