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." Tie tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley'sllood; 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, Sc., 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 and 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. APPETITE AND INDIGESTION IMPROVED.

To which are added remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina tion, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases BY SAMUEL LAWERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li- celitiate 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 tlie heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the 81 hyr 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 winch the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

CONTRACT FOR HONDURAS MAHOGANY TIMBER• Department of the Storekeeper-General of the Navy, Somerset-place, 11th Sept., 1838. • THE COMMISSIONERS for EXECUTING the OFFICE of LORD HIGH ADMIRAL of the UNITED KINGDOM of GREAT BRITAIN and IRELAND, DO HEREBY GIVE NOTICE, That on TUESDAY, the 28th instant, at Two o'Clock, they will be ready to treat with such Persona as may be willing to Contract for supplying her Majesty's Dockyards with 11,250 loads of HONDURAS MAHOGANY TIMBER, to be delivered during the years 1850, 1800, and 1861, according to distributions, which, with a form of the Tender, the conditions of the Contract, and a specimen of the Timber, may be seen at the said office. No tender will be received after Two o'clock on the day of treaty, nor will any be noticed unless the party attends, or an Agent for him duly authorised in writing. Every Tender must be addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, and bear in the left-hand corner the words " Tender for Honduras Mahogany Timber," and must be de livered at Somerset-place, accompanied by a Letter signed by Two responsible Persons, engaging to become bound with the Person tendering, in the sum of X 5,000 for the due per formance of the Contract. army, who had tak en possess i on o f en ti re disirkts and kingdoms, and who had made themselves Mas ters of the strongest fortified cities, and most amply supplied magazines of arms and - ammunition, had just been extinguished by the gallant and indomi table energy and bravery of our soldiers, led by generals whose names have been rendered illustri ous in the annals of their country, foremost among whom for foresight_ and skill is that distinguished commander, whose concern for the safety of his men, and his tender care of women and children, we as remarkable as - the certainty with which he led his soldiers to victory—whom we not long ago delighted to honour as the hero of the Crimea, and will welcome to our shores as Lord Clyde, the restorer of India. The back of that sad mutiny is now broken, and the total discomfiture of the rebels, now wandering about spiritless, is, I trust, but a work of time, and- then begins truly the labour of the new Indian government—first to restore confi dence and tranquillity, and then to set about deve loping the resources of the country to the con struction of roads and railways, restoring the tanks by which the country, was wont to be irrigated, and by general attention to the improvement and condition of the people. I hope it will ever be kept in mind that India must be governed not solely for the benefit of this country, but with a view to the prosperity, contentment, and happiness of the people, both on their own account, and as the only way by which India can be made available as a dependency. In nothing must the government be more careful than how they act in matters con nected with .religion. As Christians, we have a sacred duty to perform in promoting our blessed Gospel and in extending the benefits of its benign and gracious influence ; but let it he remembered that true Christianity looks for strength to no ex ternal force, and that the British people regard religious liberty as a sacred right for the Mahome dan or the Hindoo - as well as the Christian. There must be no government interfrrence with men's consciences. If, however, the missionaries arc neither obstructed nor assisted by Government, but if simply strict neutrality is exercised, and full pro tection from insult be guaranteed to Christian con verts—if, in short, Christianity is only allowed a fair stage, but no Government favour, it is all we should ask, and then, and not till then, it will work its own way, and shall prevail as certainly as truth must in the end overcome error. The Indian ques tion has certainly been the great legislative mea sure of the session, but several others worthy of notice have also been brought forward. Among these we must hail with satisfaction the admission of the Jews into Parliament and the abolition of the property qualification, although the last mea sure was in a great degree neutralised by one passed through the influence of Government, inap propriately termed the Corrupt Practices Preven tion 'Act, which, by sanctioning certain electioneer ing expenses, may render the costs, especially in counties, too heavy for any but a wealthy man to undertake. The abolition of church rates was carried triumphantly through the lower house, but was thrown out by the Lords; but the abolition of these rates is as certain eventually to be passed by their lordships 'as that they have yielded to other important acts of the Commons. Mr. Locke King obtained leave to introduce a bill to extend the franchise in counties to £lO householders—one of those measures which the Ministers spoke against but dared not go to a division. A similar sanction was, however, refused for the introduction of the ballot, for triennial Parliaments, and for the registration of county voters in Scotland. To all these liberal measures I gave my zealous support. To the granting of money to the metropolis, which was brought forward on several occasions, I, along with several other country members, gave a decided opposition especially to a grant for the Chelsea bridge, which we waited night after night to op pose. The house generally on both sides is getting more alive to the injustice of bestowing the public money except for national purposes, and you would observe that, although pressed by the metropolitan members, who, on acconnt of their numbers, receive great consideration from any Government, they dared not propose an actual grant for cleansing the Thames. As regards general economy andinves tigation into every system of abuse, my votes will show you that I have not been inattentive to these ; but I think, while all extravagance and wasteful expenditure must be carefully watched and reshted, we must - not be too parsimonious as regards our national defences. I more particularly refer to the necessity of having a Channel fleet afloat and man ned so effectually as to make us independent of foreign aggression. 'One word as regards your selves. During last winter you have conic through a severe ordeal from the stoppage of two banks "and the general stagnation of trade, which produced a great amount of distress to all parties in the town, - , employed as well as employers. I trust we may congratulate ourselves that the worst is now passed. The symptoms of a revival in trade are manifest, and if the accounts of the Chinese treaty are con firmed, we may look forward to that large market being opened to our manufactures, as the people themselves are anxious to trade, and have hitherto been prevented by the exclusive jealousy of the Go vernment and the grinding rapacity of the mandarins. If this should be the case, we may see more prosper ous times than have been experienced for many years, which will tend to the happiness and com fort of all classes of the community. To return one moment to the House of Commons. The position of parties is most unsatisfactory. There is no or ganisation whatever on the Liberal side, while the Ministerial benches are filled by men who at heart can have no liking to liberal measures, and from such a source nothing is expected to be done volun tarily. Let us hope that crc long, by a fusion of independent Liberals, a strong Government may be formed, which will command the respect and confidence of the house and of the country. As regards reform : the effect of the change of Go vernment was to retard , the introduction of any measure for another session, and then we are pro mised a Reform Bill, which some people think may be more liberal than we would have had from the Whigs. This must, however, be mere conjecture. My belief is they have not fixed what to propose, and will not make up their minds till the last hour, to see with how little they can command a ma jority of the house. We shall see ere long ; and I shall conclude by saying that I think you know my sentiments now sufficiently well to believe that, although I may take an instalment, I shall not rest contented till the fullest extent of your political aspirations are satisfied. (The hon, gentleman re sumed his scat amidst enthusiastic applause.) Mr. MACKEAN begged to move " That the thanks of this meeting are due to Mr. Crum Ewing for his promptitude in redeeming his pledge to meet with his constituents, to render to them an account of his conduct in Parliament as representative of the burgh." I shall not say anthing in support of his conduct as our representative in Parliament. He appears, in fact, to have, as such, done everything that the inhabitants of Paisley could have wished a member to do. I do not know, indeed, any liberal measure that Mr. Ewing has not attended to and voted in support of it. (Applause.) And I know it from private sources that he is most attentive in watching over the interests of this community, and of the country at large, in his place in the House of Commons. From a return of the attendance of members in the house, I find that he is only one short of being the highest on the list, and this notwithstanding his absence in Egypt during a portion of the session. (Applause.) It was highly creditable, indeed, to the inhabitants of this town to find Mr. Ewing so attentive to his duty ; and he thought they ought at least cordially to coincide with him in proposing a vote of thanks to that gentleman. (Cheers.) Mr. ROBT. COCHRANE seconded the motion, and entirely concurred in the remarks made by , Bailie Mackean. The town of Paisley, he con sidered, had now got a true representative, and he did not think, although they had the charter in operation, that they could get a bett er mem b er . (Hear, hear, laughter, and applause.) The consti tuency would never need to regret the choice which they had made of Mr. Crum Ewing. The motion was agreed to unanimously. Mr. JAMES KERR, of Underwood, said that he had been entrusted with a motion to the following effect :—"Resolved—That this meeting having heard a lengthened statement by Mr. Crum Ewing regarding the many-important measures brought before Parliament last session, and explanation of his votes on divisions during the session, do cor dially approve of his conduct in Parliament as re presentative of the burgh, and especially commend his zealous and unremitting attention to. matters before Parliament more immediately affecting the, interests of the burgh; and while gratefully ac knowledging his past services, this meeting express their hope and confidence that he will pursue the same enlightened, liberal, and useful course next session." Mr. PETER BROtGiI had great pleasure in seconding the motion made by Mr. Kerr, and he believed that it expressed the general sentiments of those present. (Applause.) Among the consti tuency the general feeling was that Mr. Ewing represented them well. Of . course, it was not to be expected that a gentleman could please every in dividual in the town upon every point, but he was persuaded of this, that the opinion of the people of Paisley was that our representative, Mr. Ewing, did his duty well. (Applause.) The honour and credit of our town has certainly not su ff ere d i n his hands. (Renewed applause.) The resolution was carried by acclamation. Mr. EWING, in acknowledging the votes, said — I feel very proud to-night that you have expressed satisfaction with my conduct, and I can only pro mise you that I will endeavour to follow up the same course next session. (Applause.) It is not difficult for a representative to please his consti tuents when his opinions and theirs coincide ; the difficulty is when he is at variance with them, and tries to adopt a middle course, by shirking ques tions upon which he feels a difficulty. Now, he could safely say that he had never shirked a divi sion, nor had he ever any inclination. (Applause.) The meeting, on separating, gave a hearty cheer for Mr. Ewing. MAJOR BERESFORD, M.P., AND MR, DU CANE, IN ESSEX. WALTON-ON-THE-NAZE, SATURDAY. A conservative festival was held yesterday at thi - s pretty little watering place, at which the Right Hor t . W. Beresford and Mr. Du Cane, the members for the northern division of the county of Essex, were present. In the afternoon a dinner took place in Kent's Hotel, which was presided over by Mr. J. Barker, of Ramsey, who was supported by the two hon. members and by a large number of the gentry and farmers of the district. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk, the CHAIRMAN proposed " The Army and Navy," which was respitided to by , Makfr lIERESFORD, who said th a t th oug h he .was no longer a soldier, he still retained that o ld f ee lin g of discipline which induced him at once to obey the call of the chairman and respond to the toast. He believed there never was a time when in our hearts we ought to feel deeper gratitude to both branches of her Majesty's service. We could look back with pride to past times, and rememb er w ith sa ti s f act i on that the soil of England had never yet been sullied by the foot of a foreigii invader ; and so long as our army and navy were maintained in a state of efficiency, he believed we were perfectly safe. (Cheers.) With regard to the army in particular, its life of late had not been inactive. Indepen dently of the services which it had rendered in the Crimea we had seen a small band of British heroes, led by a gallant Scotchman, regaining for us a vast empire in the east, achieving victories which would put those of Alexander the Great to the blush. (Cheers.) Our navy had not been so actively em ployed ; but had they been tried they would not have been found wanting ; and if from some un foreseen cause our shores should ever, hereafter, be attacked, he felt satisfied that both branches of the service would be enabled to give a good account of the enemy. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, then, in a brief complimentary speech, proposed the health of the " Members for the Northern Division of the County- of Essex," which was drunk amid loud cheers. Major BERESFORD, M.P., in responding, said— Gentlemen, I can assure you that it is with un feigned gratitude that I return you my thanks for the kindness with which you have received the last toast. At all times I am glad to come among the yeomanry of Essex, for I look upon them as a fa vourable sample of the county constituency , throughout the kingdom, and wherever I go I con fess that I am unable to find a superior class of men. (Cheers.) That my conduct, after havin , 4 served you for so many years, should have met with your ap probation, will ever be to me a source of deep satis .. faction. It will be an incentive to future exertions on your behalf, and will teach me to remember that I must act up to the principles which I have pro fessed in order to gain your support, and that then I shall receive at your hands the greatest reward which can be bestowed upon an honest Englishman —the approbation of his constituents. Regardiiig this meeting more as a social and friendly meet ing than a political union, I do not propose to trouble you with a long political oration. It will, however, ever be fresh in my memory that my first introduction to the county of Essex was through the Tendring hundred, by a portion of which I was returned to represent the borough of Harwich. That first gave me an opportunity of making your per sonal acquaintance and of showing that I was a friend of the country interest. It is now 18 years sihee 'I first appeared on the hustings at Harwich, and upon that occasion I gave utterance to senti ments which at this hour, as your representative, Ido not feel ashamed of. (Cheers.) I remember distinctly that the chief burden of what I then said was that I was firmly attached to the Protestant institutions of the country, and that I would do all in my power to promote the prosperity of the agri cultural interest. Eighteen years have since elapsed, and I still entertain the same opinions. (Cheers.) There is much connected with the Tendring hun dred which claims the attention of any man filling the important position of representative of North Essex. It is in many respects one of the most important parts of the division. It may not have within it the capital of the county ; it may not possess vast and extensive gentlemen's parks and residences ; but it possesses a higher and greater qualification in the respectability of its general inhabitants, and the magnificence of the farms which it contains. There is also one mat ter connected with the hundred at this moment which is most satisfactory. I believe that the far mers of the district have this year housed within their barns and yards an ample and a very produc tive harvest, in the very best condition. There is no event in the course of the whole twelve months which more gratifies the heart of a true English man—more adds to his comfort, more increases his means, and does more general benefit to the com munity—than the gathering in of a large and abundant harvest in good order. (Cheers.) The prices, though lower than they were, but I trust as low as they will be, are not likely to be very much affected by foreign importations, for we know al ready that the harvests on many parts of the Con tinent are very inferior, and that the accounts from America are not so cheering as the Americans could wish. Therefore, J trust that those who have good ricks will receive high and good prices for them ; that you will be enabled to meet your landlords with pockets full of money, and that when you re turn to your homes you will still find them toler ably full. (Cheers.) There is one other remark which I feel called upon to make before I conclude. We have met here to-day as a party of English men, and the first toast we drank was the health of our gracious Sovereign, a toast which; I need scarcely add, was drunk with enthusia&m. Your worthy chairman told you that such was always the case, but that is a mistake, though if is the only mistake he has committed to-day, for we have heard in one part of her Majesty's dominions the health of the Queen put in the background, and the health of the Pope substituted. • (Hear, hear.) I am certain that such conduct must excite the indignation of every true Protestant in the land, and I trust these gentlemen—if gentlemen they are—will never, after the general indignation which their conduct has aroused through out the country, dare to repeat it. (Cheers.) That a foreign cardinal should come to this country to be toasted and feasted, and shall permit the health of his sovereign to be drunk at the tail of the Pope of Rome, is an insult to English Protestantism and loyalty ; and it is only by every county meeting showing how enthusiastically it will ever drink the health a the Queen, that such people can be taught and told what is their duty. (Loud cheers.) There is one more topic and only one upon which I have a word to say. When Parliament was over I was only too glad to retire to the quiet enjoyment of my garden and flowers. My hon. friend(iklr. a D nd u Cane), with a higher spirit, disdaining idlen e ss inactivity, committed himself to the dangers of the deep on board the Pera, in order that he might see all the wonders of Cherbourg . (Laughter and cheers.) He can tell you all t he mighty prepara tions which he there witnessed, and also the manner in which our gracious Sovereign was greeted by the French ; and in order to enable him to appear at once before you, I will, with your permission, resume my seat by reiterating my thanks to you for the compliment which you have paid to your representatives. (Cheers.) Mr. Du CANE, M.P., after thanking his consti tuents for the extremely cordial reception they had given him, said that, as it appeared to him, his right hon. colleague had condensed into one sentence the whole of his political existence. He told them that when he was first returned for Harwich he entertained the same political views c. h^ new held, after ten years' service and experience in Parliament as representative for North Essex, and that he meant to remain to the end of the chapter an ardent ad herent and protector of our Protestant institutions, and a sound supporter of Conservative principles. (Hear, hear.) What could an old stager in the House of Commons say more ? y (Cheers.) For himself he candidly , confessed that he looked upon this meeting as one at .which he ought to give an PRICE 4D . STAMPED, SD. account of his stewardship. He must say that he felt gratified at the present position of affairs. Last year they saw a ministry in power which boasted an overwheiming majority, but which seemed to keep that majority in a sort of mesmeric trance by a policy liberal in theory but extremely obstructive in practice. (Hear, hear.) Now there was, on the contrary, a ministry in power which, boasting no overwhelming majority, simply d eman d e d a fair trial of its measures—which measures, although he dissented from some of them, were in the main . based upon principles of sound and temperate con servative progress. If they had met their consti tuents last year they would have met in the midst of the horrors and first dread realities of the Indian crisis ; but now the smouldering remains of that unhappy mutiny were fast yielding to the valour of the British soldier, while a measure was in full operation which, having been discussed and matured with an absence of party feeling, afforded a gua rantee for the stability of the future government of India. If he had met them a year ago he could not have thanked them for the honour they conferred upon him ' • but now he had a talc to tell ; for more than once during the session, when the interests of conservatism and agriculture were at stake, he had felt it his duty to raise his voice and do battle in their behalf. Need he tell them how and why Lord Palmerston and the Whig ministry fell ? They all remembered how the omnipotent statesman, who, like Bottom, could roar like any lion against the chief commissioner of the Emperor of China, suddenly lost his voice and became as a sucking dove before the chief commissioner of the Emperor of the French. That a statesman who a year previously had branded the Conservative party as one that was willing to make the humiliation of the nation a stepping-stone to power, and called upon the coun try to rally round him as one man, should have fallen I ,._•cause lie failed to vindicate the national honour and dignity, ought to teach politicians a l•wholesome letter. (Hear.) The Nemesis was se vere, but it was just, and if there were one vote more than other of which he felt proud, it was that which he gave in company with his right hon. col league, and the small band of 99 who composed the minority on the first reading of the Conspiracy to Murder Bill. (Hear, hear.) They were greeted at the time with the not very complimentary term of philo-assassins, but he nevertheless thought, and the downfall of Lord Palmerston confirmed him in the opinion, that that small minority expressed the real sentiments of the people of England. (Cheers.) In passing on to the sayings and doings of Lord Palmerston's successors, as he deprecated last year the conduct of the people of England i n placing a blind confidence in Lord Palmerston as the only pilot who could weather the storm, so they would now find him an independent supporter of Lord Derby's Government. The days of blind and implicit allegiance to Ministers were past and gone. (Hear.) But looking at the con duct of Lord Derby and the present GoYernment since their accession to power, he thought that they had done much to entitle them to the confidence and esteem of the country. He could not, as his votes showed, give his assent to all they had done, or had permitted others to do for them. He re gretted that they should have given a tacit assent to the . passing of the Property Qualification Bill, believing as he did that the errors which that bill proposed to remedy would have been better dealt with in a comprehensive measure of Parham tary reform. (Hear, hear.) Especially did. he regret the withdrawal by the House of Lords of their resistance for so many years unswerv ingly maintained to the admission of Jews to Par liament. When (continued the hon. gentleman) I recognise as I do a sound and decided pro,gress ; when I see the statesmanlike ability of the leaders in both houses, and the talent which distinguishes the Ministry as a whole, it wo u ld have been alto gether unjustifiable if:l had withdrawn my support from the Government or have given it only a timid and wavering confidence. (Hear, hear.) I will now pass for a moment to one or two of the mea sures in respect to which I took part during the past session. I will not enter into the merits of the Agricultural Statistics Bill, which was the only measure introduced that affected in a special man ner the agricultural interest, but I may fairly con gratulate you upon the spirit in which the douse of Commons rojected that measure, proving as it does that the agricultural interest is no longer con sidered by them to be a species of target, at which every experimental legislator may wing his arrow, but that on the contrary the importance and diffi culty of the subject are recognised, and legislation will be proceeded with in a spirit of caution, im partiality, and fair play. 11i, -right honourable col league, in a few remarks which he was PeltSed to make a short time ago, in addressing another:por tion of his constituents at Saffron Walden, said that I had undoubtedly acquired the knowledge I pos sessed upon the subject of that bill by mixing with the yeomanry of Essex. My right hon. colleague guessed truly the source of my information, and I am proud to acknowledge my obligations to the Essex yeomanry. On the same occasion my right hon. colleague alluded to another measure in the opposition fo which I had the honour to take a prominent part, but not with the same success, in the division list—l mean Mr. Locke King's measure for the extension of the county franchise to all £lO householders. I trust I shall not be understood, in consequence of the opposition I gave to that bill, to be averse to any change in our present representa tive system. On the contrary, I think that resist ance to progressive improvement forms no true item in a conservative creed—(hear)----and if we persist in opposing all improvement under the name of innovation, the day will soon come when, as in 1831, we shall be compelled to swallow innovation divested of improvement. (Hear, hear.) I have every hope that in the next session Parliament will be able to devote its time and attention to the settlement of this great question. It will, indeed, be a Her culean task ; for on one side are those whose de sires are boundless, and on the other those who would fain act on the principle of leaving well alone. What the provisions of the new Reform Bill will be it is impossible for an one at present to speculate upon ; but this I will say, that while, on the one hand, I trust that the question will be dealt with in a comprehensive and impartial spirit, so on the other, I hope it will be of such a nature as to be regarded by the country in the light of a final set tlement. - There is nothing more detrimental to the progress of sound legislation than re-opening and tampering bit by bit, and piecemeal, with so great and vital a question as that of parliamentary re form. (Cheers.) There is only one more topic upon which I have a word to say, and that is with re spect to the recent visit of the House of Commons to Cherbourg. To me individually it was a de lightful excursion, and I neither went, like one of the most able and best informed represen tatives of our shipping interest—Mr. Lindsay, to make observations, nor like Mr. Roebuck, in the character of a cynic. Both our English ships and British sailors showed to great advantage, and in particular I admired our noble forest of yachts, forming as they would at any time the nucleus of an admirable navy. At the same time, though I do not agree with the rash and intempe rate language of Mr. Roebuck, I cannot help saying that to be forewarned is to be forearmed. (Hear.) Depend upon it that the visit of the House of Com mons to Cherbourg, will, as I heard remarked by more than one Liberal member of Parliament, be the cause of considerable expense ultimately to the people of England. When the navy estimates come before us again we shall hear very little of a cheese paring economy ' • and I promise you for one that, although I will never lend myself to a rash and wanton expenditure of the public money, I will never be the means of rashly lowering the national defences. (Loud cheers.) GREAT EXPLOSION NEAR ST. PETERSBURG.++► A St. Petersburg letter mentions the explosion of 1,200 pouds (39,000 lb.) of gunpowder, which was undergoing the operation of being dried in the large powder manufac tory of Okhta, about six miles from that capitol. All the premises were destroyed, more than 100 workmen were killed, and a still greater number more orless wounded All the windows of a large convent on the left bank of the Neva, opposite the village of Okhta, were broken, and the report of the explosion was heard at Pavlovsk, a distance of 25 miles. _ _ _ 1300K-lIAWKING.—The South Yorkshire Book hawking Association have just completed their second year's operations, and from the accounts appended to their report, it appears that during the last 12 months £123 has been re ceived for books sold by their hawker, on which they have realised a profit of £3O, and that they have now stock in hand to the value of £55. A union between the deaneries of Doncaster and Pontefract has just been effected, 'by which the circuit of the book-hawkers' labours will be enlarged without any increased expenditure on the Doncaster dis trict. The i•op , that the chief difficulty experienced by the association arises from the general impression which prevails as to its object, which the report explains to be, "The circulation in districts otherwise unapproachable of books of a sound as well as a religious tendency, in opposi tion to those unsound and immoral pulkeations which to an alarming extent are silently dispersed throughout the length and breadth of the land; and to CarFy informatics to those 'who cannot' be included to 'seek for if thtinselvds—who may buy and read a book when offered and commended to their notice, but who would never take a single step towards procuring it itleft - to their owli resources."

MR. EWLVG, JJLP., AT PAISLEY. On Thursday last, in accordance with an under standing which exists between Mr. Crum Ewing, M.P., and his constituents, that gentleman addressed a meeting of the electors and other inhabitants of Paisley, in the Exchange Rooms, upon the events of the last session of parliament. The meeting was crowded to excess. Mr. EwING, who rose amidst great applause, said—As this is the first time I have met with you in public since I became your representative, I gladly avail myself of the opportunity thus afforded me to express my warmest acknowledgments for the honour which you conferred upon me by con fiding to my charge the most important trust which, as citizens of a free state, you have to bestow—an honour all the more to be appreciated that it was conferred in my absence—and while I return my most heartfelt thanks to all for the cordial manner in which I have been received, I trust I may not be considered as acting in any party spirit, which, I assure you, I do not feel, and of which I am equally certain you, sir, and all present, will acquit me, when I express myself personally to tho - se friends, electors and non-electors, who acted originally in my behalf, and whose kindness I never can forget so long as I live. I was in the south of France when a telegram reached me, announcing the in telligence of my election, and lively as was the gratification thus conveyed, I felt more the respon sibility which I was about to undertake, but the belief that our political sentiments were not likely to come into collision, and a determination to do my duty, relieved my anxiety on that head. My original intention was to have remained abroad all the winter and spring, but I now resolved merely to accompany my son to Egypt, so that I might be able to return to London as soon after the meeting of parliament as circumstances would permit. - I accord ingly pursued my voyage to Alexandria, and visited the city of Cairo, with its curious bazaars and mos ques, and so interesting to a European from the complete change in the appearance and dresses of the people, as well as in their appearance and customs. Ascending the Nile, I was gratified with an inspection of the Pyramids, and of the numerous temples, so wonderful for their magnifi cence, their great extent, and for their extreme an tiquity. I had likewise an opportunity of witness ing the melancholy depth of moral and political degradation into which that people had sunk, who were once so renowned for their learning, their knowledge of the arts and sciences, and for the beauty and extent of their manufactures. By a little exertion I got back to Marseilles on the after noon of the 12th of February. From a newspaper which I procured on landing, I learned that in con sequence of the vile attempt to assassinate the Emperor of the French, Lord Palmerston had in troduced a bill to amend the law of conspiracy to murder, which had been read a first time by a large majority. The report in the French journal was too meagre to enable me to judge correctly of the nature of that bill, and I was not then aware that it had been introducedat the instance of any foreign power, but I saw enough to leave the impression on my mind that it was intended to limit that sacred right of asylum which this country has always gloried in affording to refugees of every rank and condition, and of every variety of political sentiment. I therefore pushed forward the same evening, and arrived in London in good time for the debate, and to vote against the second reading of the ill judged and obnoxious measure. Ido not here require to refer to the circumstances connected with the introduction and attempt to pass that bill. These were of a nature too serious to be soon for gotten by the people of this country, and will be remembered more particularly by statesmen, as a warning that, whatever be the internal differences of opinion which may prevail at any time among the people themselves,. they will unite as one man when the national honour is concerned. The conse quence of an adverse vote to the Palmerston Minis try must have been known to every member of the house, and, for myself, I gave my vote without the slightest hesitation. I however frankly confess that I did it with the greatest repugnance at the idea of allowing that party to come into power which had resisted to the utmost the passing of the Re form Bill and the abolition of the corn laws, and had always been hostile to every liberal measure. But, much as the admission of a Tory ministry was to be deprecated—much as the alliance with France was to be valued—the honour of Britain was first to be considered ; and better that everything should perish than that the national honour should sustain the slightest tarnish, or that a British House of Commons should so far truckle to any foreign power as to enact laws at his dictation.. (Ap plause.) Had this bill passed under the circum stances in which it was brought forward, we could never have appeared again as a first-rate power. It was deeply to be regretted, but there was no alter native, and I feel confident that this my first vote met with the universal approbation of my consti tuents. Early in the session Lord Palmerston had obtained leave, by a large majority of the house, to introduce a bill for the better government of India, but further 13roceedings were cut short by the un expected change o f ministry. After the Derby Government came into power they brought forward a bill of their own, which, with some modifications, was similar to that of their predecessors ; and that bill, after long discussions and various amendments, is now the law of the land, The main feature in this bill is the transference of the government of India to the Queen, and the appointment of a Sec retary of State and a Council, in place of the ob jectionable double government which formerly ex isted. I voted most cordially with the resolution that the government should be changed, and, whilst I also voted on all the subsequent questions which arose in the course of the debate, in the endeavour to make the bill as perfect as possible, I am free to confess that after the transference of the power had been made, and a secretary had been appointed, I would have preferred that the house had paused, and that the consideration of the further measures contemplated in the bill had been postponed till next session. I think very good reasons were adduced for this course. Time would have been afforded for members to make themselves better acquainted with the affairs of India, and for allowing the keen party spirit to subside which had been so recently called into fierce action. However, the importance of the subject induced a much greater degree of considera tion and calm discussion than might have been antici pated under the circumstances, and although there are anomalies in the bill, these may be expunged, and it is decidedly a right measure, which we must all pray may promote the best interests of this country and the proper government of that vast empire, embracing the condition and happiness of nearly 200,000,000 of our fellow -creatures. The secretaryship of India has been conferred on Lord Stanley, one of the most rising men of the day, devoted to business, and, although linked at present with a Tory government, of liberal principles. My opinion of his qualifications for this important office was formed while he was at the head of the Colonial Department, where I had opportunities of observing his attention and aptness for business, as well as of marking his enlightened views, which were most conspicuous, and formed a striking contrast in those respects to his immediate predecessors. India pre sents, at present, a serious task for the energies and judgment of whatever government may he in power.

S w eb e a h st a o (i pol was our head-quart ers f or a week, so plenty of time fully to examine tho various places of interest in connection with the war. Everything at present remains in very much the same state as at the conclusion of the war. The town, which has been a very fine one) is now but a scene of ruin and desolation. The present population (reduced from 40.000 to 6,000) mostly live in the wooden huts left by the British and French armies; some few stone houses have been rebuilt, but very few, an d of a very common sort. The magnificent d oc k s remain in the state of total ruin to which they were reduced during the occupation of the town by the allies, and heaps of stone are the only indi cations of the positions of the forts on the south side of the harbour. But on the north side the forts are in as efficient a state as ever, it being perfectly ludicrous to observe how little damage they have received fr om t h e b ombardment given them by Lord Lyons. The trenches, batteries, and other earth works remai n as they were during '' the war, with merely the slight alterations caused by wind and weather, and, even at this distance of time, cannon balls, shot, powder, cans, broken pieces of shells, &c., are found lying on the ground (especially in the neighbourhood of the batteries) in such quanti ties as to keep men at work collectini, them for their value as old iron, and taking them away by cart-loads. Even whole unexploded shells are yet occasionally to be met with. We fell in with one the very day of our arrival ; but they are not plea sant things to meddle with, as they at times explode with no very apparent good reason ; and an unfor tunate Eng'ish sailor was blown all to pieces a few months ago by an accident of this sort. I remember seeing some months ago in the Times some state ment to the effect that the graves in the Crimea were not taken proper care of, but I must say I came to quite a different conclusion. I visited most of the English cemeteries at Balaklava, Inkermann, and the Alma, as well as those nearer Sebastopol, and with one exception did not see a single monu ment injured or defaced. The one and only excep tion is the ease of the obelisk erected by the British army in front of the Redan, Which is mutilated by divers visitors having cut their names in the stone, and the inscription on it is also partly defaced, very probably, I think, in some drunken frolic. During our short residence among the Russians, we found them all, whether rich or poor, most civil and desirous of obliging us, and apparently bearing us no on account of our country. In the harbour of Sebastopol they are very . busily employed, under the direction of an American, m working with the sunken ships. They have relin quished all hope of getting up the large men-of war entire, and are now blowing them up, and so getting them up piecemeal ; but with some of the smaller craft they are more successful, and we saw one small steamer that had been just raised when we were there. It certainly looked a queer affair ; but they said the wood was sound, and that a few repairs would make the engines all right. The steamer that took us from Constantinople to Odessa, on our way to the - Crimea, had been sub merged for about a year and according to, the cap tain. (whose stateme n t I receive with doubt) the engines recommenced wor ki ng w ith out any repa i rs being required."----Scotsman. THE NEAPOLITAN PRISONERS. NAPLES, Sept. s.—The public interest which has been awakened by the Salerno trials • has seen so great that the following letter will be acceptable. It was written by one of the prisoners to a friend in Naples, and though it gives some particulars already known, it communicates others which shed a light on the character of those who are choson by Government to do its bidding, and displays the in domitable spirit by which those lately condemned are animated. When we came down from the ". Compress." (pres room ?) we found that our Genoese brothers had already put on tho chain of martyrdom. There were present at the scene the executioner and his two assistants, the inspector of police, the gaoler, and the lieutenant of gendarmes. As soon as we were ironed we all of us, without exception, kissed our chains ; and on some of us being asked by the executioner why we did so, we replied, " Because after much trial and suffering we had won the brightest ornament in the world." At so much intrepidity and self-sacrifice the very offi cers were moved, and especially --. Sublime sacrifice made to liberty in an age of corruption ! Two by two we then descended into the court, where we met that grieving mother (Madame Poggi) who, with the courage of a true Italian matron, after having kissed. all the prisoners, exhorted us to be firm and fearless in presence of our enemies. Durino the short time that we remained we never ceased to be clicerrul and to sinn- ' . At length we moved o u t of the pris on , an d p asse d through the Strada della Marina, which was crowded with people, who as usual did not hesitate to show themselves grieved at our misfortunes, and some were seen to weep. On arriving on the beach we passed through a double line of the rifles, first having been unscrpulously examined both in our persons and effects, and being deprived even of our needles. We then entered five boats, followed and preceded by soldiers in other boats, besides those whom we had with us. I have omitted to say besides the chain, we were fastened with ropes and manacles during our passage through the city. On getting on board the steamer, the Stromboli, the Genoese were compelled to go below, whilst we remained above. At the hour of night the wheels began to cut the water, and we bade a tender adieu to Salerno, to our prison, and to our friends, followed by the looks of a weeping and terrified multitude, who gazed with horror on that moving scene. In the morn ing we knew that the steamer, was under the com mand of Captain Caraceiolo. . . (The orders were, to treat them with the utmost rigour, and to attach them to the " puntale," an iron bar). At Messina we arrived after a voyage of 24 hours, coasting along by the Calabrias. Here our wounds were opened afresh by being compelled to separate ourselves film our dear brothers, IN ho, it is said, have been sent to the Bagno of Favignana. After resting here a day, we continued our route to our destination, not with out giving our salute to beautiful Sicily, which had awakened within us tender recollections of the sacri ficestty. too Majestic city, well he • i she has m ade to preserve her alitbteeis• city, whose traditions and history grandeur ! After stopping again ateßre we arrivedindisiand for two days coasting along by Cape tec f , at Pescara. The captain fi red a signal or a pilot, who, after a few moments, came alongside, and re ceiving his orders, returned to land. A large boat, full of ferocious looking policemen, then made its appearance. From the steamer we were transferred to the boat, and packed into a kind of well, so narrow, that we were as close .to gethcr as salt herrings. On landing we came in view of the sallooking building of the Bagno, which, like the ancient feudal castles, rises dark and gloomy above the river. Always surrounded by the 3d battalion of rifles, we entered the prison amidst the ceaseless clank of chains, and at the sight which presented itself of shackles and of sbirri, we could not help exclaiming, " Laseiqte ogni speranza, voi cli' entrate." But, thanks to the firmness of our principles, tyranny can never crush us—the blood which has been shed does no de stroy us, but renders us yet more determined. We passed before our dwelling-place, prepared for us 15 days before, and I assure you that it is a true den for wild beasts. On arriving in the court, the keepers'ranged us in two lines and began to search us in our persons and baggage. They then ad dressed us regarding the conduct we were to ob serve in the Bagno, directing that we were to take our hats off whenever we came into their presence. We observed silence whilst they talked, but did not obey the direction. After the lapse of half an hour, the commander of fortheLa s aa. o l o mad n e his s appearance, and asked . being pointed out to him, he began by gi v i ng him a blow, saying, at the same time, " • Qui. non si fa it Camorista" (you will not play the Camorista here.) At this indignity the young man boldly replied that his principles and his education protested against the abject cruelty of oppressing the oppressed, and that he should have well investigated an intrigue which might have cast a stain upon him that would have been extremely injurious. In fact the charge was cleared up, and it was evident that it arose from the com mander's having misunderstood the report he had received from Salerno, in consequence of being un able to read well.
