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." 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 agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in trinsic 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 DIGESTION IMPROVED.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., eze. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, 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 conaition, and who aro 001.0101 s of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated witheut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those pe nalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences of ph may be avoide infid, and, above all, that there is scarcel y any; degree ysical r mity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 24, 1858: SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. -MONDAY. Beyond settling the York accounts little business was transacted ; indeed so limited was speculation on future events that it was difficult to determine the true tone of the market. Toxophilite was not quite so firm for The St. Leger as he was during the latter part of the York meeting, whilst a disposition was evinced to back both Fitz Roland and The Hadji. 900 to 100 about The Promised Land, and 20 to 1, to a small amount only, about Marionnette, were the only Derby investments that came under our notice.

THE NAVY. The Right Hon. Sir John Pakington, the First Lord of the Admiralty, accompanied by Capt. Milne, Lord Lovaine, and the Right Hon. H. T. L. Corry, arrived at Queens town and Cork on Saturday morning in her Majesty's ship Diadem, and were to reech Holyhead yesterday. From Holyhead the Lords proceed to Pembroke on their tour of inspection. The Atlas, 91, screw line-of•battle steamer, one of the large screw steamers recently ordered to be built at Chatham dockyard, is already in frame, a large body of shipwrights being employed on her in order that she may be completed with all despatch. The Charybdis, 21, screw corvette, being built at Chatham, is nearly completed, and will shortly be ready for launching. She is to be fitted with engines of 400 horse power. A large number of live shell were found on board the Nep tuue,l2o, in No. 3 dock, Portsmouth, on Saturday last. They have been taken cut and conveyed to the Ordnance department.

An important investigation instituted by the medical officers of health in the metropolis into the quality of the water supplied from the London pumps has just closed, and fearful and shocking are the disclosures that have resulted therefrom, the water in most instances having been proved to be strongly impregnated with the most abominable mat ters, and producing gases most dangerous to the health of the unfortunate ignorant consumers. An agitation on the subject first arose out of some proceedings adopted in the parish of Marylebone, where the medical officer of health, Dr. Thomson, after a searching analytical examination of the waters btained from certain pumps in the district, ordered that the pumps should be closed, the water being, in his opinion, such as to seriously endanger the public health. The water Dr. Thomson found strongly mixed with the surface drainage of the streets and the percolations from the sewers, as likewise being strongly impregnated with gas which had escaped from the gas-pipes beneath the street. The pumps consequently were ordered to be closed ; the last puma thus closed, and eventually removed, the well beneath being filled up, stood at the corner of Park-street, Oxford street. Dr. Thomson reported as regarded this pump— after speaking of the brickworkof the well being in a very .dilapidate'd and ruinous state—" The bricks forming the walls were saturated with water nearly to- the mouth of the well, although the depth of water in the bottom of this well was only 2A feet. This fact Shows that the well is simply a pit sunk in a porous soil, and' hat the sUrface water of the street, saturated with the manure of the road, permeates the sides of the well ; this in truth is the source of that water sup ply. The water I have analysed, and find it to be more impure than when f examined it in 1856, as exhibited in the following table:-1856, total impurity, degrees or grains per gallon 42.64, organic impurity 4.96: 1858, total imptirity, de grees or grains per gallon 49.60, organic impurity 5.52. I find it to contain nitric acid and ammonia, which are uu-. equivocal tests of the presence of organic or animal matter. The amount of ammonia I find to be 109 grains per gallon, which is equivalent to 307 grains of carbonate of ammonia. I may add that the smell:of gas was very strong in the earth surrounding the well, and that the galley drain was stopped and the fluid contents of the drain oozed into the well. I should be negligent iu the discharge of my duty if I did not strongly urge the extreme danger of such water bein_ used by. the public." Notwithstanding all this, and a confirma tory report from the district surveyor, a strong phalanx of opposition was raised by the inhabitants, all of whom in sisted on still drinking the water, they describing it as"pel lucid and beautiful." However, their objections were set aside, and the pump was removed. Such evidence as this, emanating from Dr. Thomson, led to the inquiry by the medical officers generally, and in their report, which con tains the opinions of some 30 of the most talented, shrewd, and scientific men of the day, pump-water as at present supplied in the metropolis is condemned as being unhealthy and exceedingly dangerous for drinking purposes. Dr. Druitt, medical officer of health for the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, in speaking of the waterfrom the parish street-pump, says :—" The water was com plained of for being slightly turbid. I took some home for examination. It smelled strongly of sewage, so strongly that some persons said that it must be the smell of coal-gas, but on examining the deposit from the water it was found to contain yellow flocentent organic matter, which I believe to have been fceces." Dr. Druitt then, after speaking of the closing of several pumps in his district, observes that a heavy storm might suddenly flood such wells with sewage " and thus we might have diarrhoea and cholera, and be consoled by a scientific inquiry as to how the mischief was done." Then follows the opinion of Dr. Lankester, medical officer for St: James's, in which parish stands the notorious " cholera-pump"—the Broad-street pump, the water from which caused a fearful and fatal devastation from cholera amongst its consumers during the outbreak of that dire dis ease in 1854. Dr. Lankester remarks in his observations— " The organic matter found in the surface wells of London are of precisely the same nature as those found in rivers which are the receptacle of house sewage. The most observ able difference arises from the fact that the water, passing into the wells, undergoes a process of filtration, so that the animal matters are more perfectly dissolved and decom posed than they are generally in the river waters. Hence the surface well waters are clearer, whilst the carbonic acid of the decomposed matter make ern sparkling, and the nitrates they contain give them a pleasant coolness to the taste. Nothing could be better adapted to lure their victims to destruction than the external qualities of these waters; hence the worst of them are the most popular for drinking purposes. The most impure water in this parish is that of the Broad-street pump, and it is altogether the most popular. The large amount of mortality from cholera in this parish in 1854, arose from the popularity of that water, persons send ing from a distance to obtain it and dying of cholera wherever it was drunk." Mr. John Simon, F.R.S., F.R.C.S., medical officer of the General Board of Health, in a communication addressed to Dr. Lankester, alluded to the outbreak of cho lera through the water used from the Broad-street pump, as also to the more recent outbreak from the same cause—im pure pump water—at West Ham. Mr. Simon then says, —" Pumps supplying such waters can never in London be otherwise than dangerous sources of supply. The porous soil from which they suck is that into which our cesspools and leaky drains discharge a great part of their fluids, some times even a solid part of their contents, and in which, till very recently, all our interments have taken place. It is a soil which consequently abounds with putrid and putrefi able matter." Dr. Letheby, medical officer of health for the City, in confirming such observations, remarks, " The man who habitually makes use of London pump water is living in perpetual danger of disease." The other nume rous opinions are to the same effect, and Dr. Barnes, of Shoreditch district, in condemning the water supplied from pumps, very reasonably adds, "In my district, I certainly should have adopted the course you have, were it not for the fact that a very considerable number of poor people can get no other water; and as water of some sort is a prime neces sary of life, I have been compelled to let things remain." He then &eye, " I look forward to the time when the proper water supply will justify me in restricting the use of the sur face welt pumps to watering the roads." Mr. C. J. F. Lord, medical officer of Hampstead, after instancing the unhealthy quality of pump water in populous places, goes still furtber, Mr. Lord remarking, "Much illness has arisen at Brighton and Worthing, also at Sandgatc, from drainage percolating into the wells." Dr. Griffith, of Clerken well dis trict, sums up, after observing that the idea of drinking the excretions of other human beings is sufficiently repulsive to counterbalance the attractive physical qualities of the pump water—" Moreover, the shallow well water receives the drainage water of the Highgate Cemetery, of nume rous burial-grounds, and of the numerous cesspools in this district. The clay rises high at Highgate-hill, so that the rain water which percolates the soil on the London side of the cemetery, flows towards the metropolis. This source of contamination might have been prevented by forming the cemetery on the northern side of Highgate-hill, instead of on the southern side, where it at present exists." Such are the results of the important investigation that has been in stituted in this matter; first, with the laudable idea of warn ing the public against such a fearful and disgusting source of disease; and, secondly, with the object of remedying the evil. This can, it would seem, be easily attained by the en tire removal of all the pumps and the filling up of the wells, while at the same time stand pipes, connected with the water companies' mains, can be erected in their stead to supply the poorer classes with a wholesome supply of water, and the tired thirsty wayfarer with a pure and uncontami nated draught. NEW BRANCH OF THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY TO GRANTON. As the works on the new branch line from the Caledonian Railway to Grantou have now made very considerable pro gress, a few facts in connexion with the objects for which it was projected and the course it will describe may not be un interesting. Some ten or elevea years ago an application was made to parliament for powers to construct a line almost identical with the one now making, but these powers expired four or five years subsequently without being acted upon, with the exception of the cutting of the Haymarket Branch, which forms a connexion between the Caledonian and the Edin burgh and Glasgow Railways, and by which access might be gained for the traffic on the former rail way to the Waverley-bridge Station. This line has been completed some years, and although pefectly workable, has scarcely, through disputes between the companies as to station accommodation, been made use of up to the present time. The Haymarket branch diverges from the Edinburgh and Glasgow line a little to the west of the Haymarket sta tion, and joins the Caledonian line about half a mile on this side of Slateford. The line now in progress is so far a con tinuation of the Haymarket branch that it commences at a point on that branch near the Haymarket station (formerly the only Edinburgh station on the Glasgow line), and pro ceeding crosses the Edinburgh and Glasgowline by a viaduct, the highroad by a bridge between Coltbridge and Donald son's Hospital, and strikes off to the west of Craigleith Quarry and Blackball. At this point the original plan has been slightly modified. As formerly contemplated, the branch here took a more easterly direction than it now does, its course at present running from near Craigleith to the western breakwater of Granton Harbour. The Duke of Buccleuch—who, it is perhaps necessary to mention, is per sonally interested iu the line—has already commenced pre parations on a large scale, by erecting cranes, &c., on the breakwater,with a view to facilitate the shipment of minerals, gas coal, ironstone, &c., for exportation, and the convey ance of imports, which for the most part will consist of flax and hemp from the Baltic. The exports will be mostly from Lanark and Ayrshire. The construction of the line is adapted for goods traffic; but should the directors commence the conveyance of passengers, this would not necessitate any important alterations. The works, now being pushed on by a staff of nearly two hundred labourers, extend to a good distance beyond Craigleith, though commenced only so recently as the 17th of May. The excavations in Lord Murray's lands of Murrayfield are the deepest on the line —namely, about 35 feet; the embankments on the lands of Blinkbonny (the property of Trinity Hospital) are being yor-_ warded ; and navvies are likewise busy upon e the grounds of e nrgetics!! t Mr. Ramsay, of Barnton. The stone bridge whi l o span e the Glasgow highroad is rapidly advancing, as . is t als t th bridge across the Water of Leith. The latter w il l ofconsist three arches, sixty feet above the stream. The s e are b o th to be skew bridges. It was necessary a double the i nten tion of the directors to lay down a single line of rails only ,. but operations are on a scale sufficient to accommodate it line. The distance of thmeiles line but from by forming the Hg another ; b br ra a n nc eh t —which understand rstand is in Contemplation —run •• ning almost directly eastward from the Granton Junct'on to the Caledonian line near Dairy, this distance will be red uce d by a mile and a half, Ravin g if pass enger traffic from Edinburgh should b e Dairy the total dista nce on l y al 4 %'vould render unnecessary the disagreeablene ss established,nsilesTbi of shunting trains back on to the Haytnarket Junction. The cuttings present no feature of extraordinary difficulty, and it is expected, should the work meet with nq unfot esren interruption, that the line will be fully compleied by Christ and will skirt the beautiful Corstorphine Hill on mils twelve mooths. It will run through a fine undulatinc , country, and forming, if passenger traffic should be undertaken, a most pleasant, although certainly somewhat circuitous route to Granton. As regards the capital, the Parliamentary estimate of the cost of the line was £60,000, but the managers have power to raise, in addition to this, the sum of £:24,000. The Duke of Bucelench, we learn, contributes half the amount of ii capital. —Scotsman. CRYSTAL PALA CIL— ONE eHILLING DAY.—Yes terday the admissions on season ticket , , oi7 t3tRI visitors, 0;230.

TWO OF THE LIVERPOOL CLUB. This great match created much interest in Liverpool, where it was played. The play commenced on Thursday, and the match was breught to a conclusion on Saturday. On reference to the annexed score it will be seen, on the part of Liverpool, that Mr. C. Todd, in the first innings, carried out his bat for 37; and that Mr. Horner and Mr Maxwell obtained double figures, and this against the bowl ing of the celebrated Jackson. The total reached 109. England's score was very insignificant, being only 33, and of these 13 were marked by Gilby, not out. Liverpool's second innings showed a total of 104 ; Messrs. Hornby, Lockhart, Chapman, and Tinley being conspicuous. Jack son, Parr, and Gibson bowled. Stephenson, at the wicket, was successful in stumping four. In the second innings England, Alfred Clarke batted well, carrying out his bat for 17 ; Caesar also gained 21 very cleverly, but the other figures were very small, 82 being the amount of the whole. Hinkley and Tinley bowled first-rate. Thus Liverpool bore off the victory with a majority of 98 runs. Score:— _ LIVERPOOL. Ist Inn. 2d Inn. W. Horner, Esq., b Jackson lO c Caesar, b Jackson E. W.

The person at first protested with great energy against this attempt on his freedom ; but, after a time, went quietly in charge of the officer — grinning wi th delight at_ his own acuteness—to the police-o ffi ce, where he was hailed with evident satisfaction by the assembled force, as another proof of their skill and dexterity. They were proceeding to examine "the pickpocket," when, to their amazement, he produced a card, showing that he was tro less a person than an English baronet, rejoicing in the Cel tic-Norman name of Sir Ivor Beirne Guest, of Wycombe Man or, Winchester. The hon. hart. produced letters from the M arquis of Huntly, Mr. Merry, of Belladrum, and other welt,-known noblemen and gentlemen, inviting him to the shooting ; and he stated that when he was apprehended he was on his way to dine with the former nobleman at Aboyne Castla. Sir Ivor Beirne Guest, who had hitherto taken the affair rather good humouredly, now thought his turn was come, and threat ened to bring an action of damages against the authorities; but a little of the " oil of kindness," and some rather awkward apologetic excuses—" mista k es would happen," &c.,—softened his indignation.—Edinburgh Courant. A HOT WEATHER CAMPAIGN IN INDIA.—The fol lowing is an extract from a letter dated Banda, June 27, from an officer of a cavalry regiment attached to the division i d mh n a ey s y vv e . n w tar s s e o i b ao w l flp e of General Whitlock, forming a - part of the Central India Army :—" I wrote to R— the end of last month, and teld him we expected to march, and so we did on June 2d, but not towards Calpee, but to a place called Terroati, about 50 miles from hence, where the Rajah had collected a very large body of men and refused to disband them.

The 4.2 d have lost more than 40 man and three officers since they left Bangalore without hearing a shot fired, but the horses prance, the lance flag waves, and the steel sparkles in the sun, and the bands play as cheerfully as ever, as the regiments file on their ground in the morning, though they are all getting considerably smaller than they were. I wonder the infantry get on at all, but numbers of them fall out, and a long string of doolies follows the column, headed by exhausted men. We had no fight after all; when we got near the rebels all bolted, leav ing a very large treasure, and more than 30 guns. The R ,jell came in and gave himself up, and will be tried for his life. We found his palace in good order, and I went into the treasury-vaults and saw bags containing 320,000 rupees and £BO,OOO in gold. His jewels are estimated at £200,000. We halted several days there, and came back slowly with 190 carts laden with treasure, and, as they are sure to condemn the owner, it will be a good haul for the Government. Fancy our joy when yesterday a thunderstorm was followed by heavy rain. The ground is moist this morning, and the blasting hot winds are, we hope, gone for this year. Our tents are open again, which is a great comfort, as a nearly dark tent, which you cannot see out of, heated to 100, is not a pleasant place from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and outside the air has been so hot that we put our handkerchiefs to our faces and run if we want to go from tent to tent. We have received some mess stores, which we were very glad of, as all our wine, 'Her, &c., was finished long ago. Generally m ost of our thin gs are coming to grief.

In addition to the reinforcements of cavalry and Infantry troops ordered to embark at Gravesend for Calcutta, Bom bay, and Madras, of whom a list was given :in The Sun of yesterday, orders have also been received at Chatham Garrison for the following draughts to be held in readiness to embark for Kurrachee—viz., 10 men of the 61st Regi ment, 15 men of the 70th Regiment, 10 men of the 81st Regiment, and 24 of the 94th Regiment, from Chatham ; 30 men of the 7th (Princess Royal's) Dragoon Guards, and 35 men of the 94th Regiment, from Canterbury; 40 men of the 27th Enniskillens, and 30 men of the 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers, from Buttevant; the whole of whom are to em bark on board the Velocity, 1,100 tons, Captain E.

FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—At the last sitting Dr. Bonnett, of Lyons, communicated a paper on a peculiar method of his for reducing deformities of the limbs, and for effecting the cure of white tumours b y cauterisation, the cauteries employed being potash or chloride of zinc.—M. Pouillett read a report on a question addressed to the Aca demy by the Minister of War, concerning the distance at which it might be safe to let telegraphic wires be stretched in the neighbourhood of powder magazines. The committee appointed to examine the question was of opinion that the electric currents developed in the wires for the purpose of transmission could never lead to any accident, for, even sup posing the wires to be broken during transmission, either by the wind or any other cause, the small sparks which would then issue from them would be insufficient to inflame the mi nute particles of gunpowder which might have settled on the wires or their supports. ' But the case would be far different if the wires were struck by lightning, in which case a portion would be melted and transformed into incandescent glo bules, which might be projected to a considerable distance. Hence the report concluded that in the neighbbourhood of powder magazines the wires should be laiduuderground, instead of being exposed to the atmosphere ; that the sub terranean channels ought to be at a distance of at least 100 metres from the magazines, and that lightning conductors should be established along the line in the vicinity of the said magazines. M. de Luca read a paper on a substance closely resembling marmite, and extracted from the tubercles of cyclamen, or sowbread ; besides other new properties of the vegetable base cylamine. Dr. Blanche communicated a curious surgical case, the circumstances of which are as follows :—Nine years ago a young man, 17 years of age, fell upon a glass tube, which broke; a fragment about an inch and a 7 half in length penetrated upwards into the zygomatic region, and got so deeply imbedded there that the surgeon who was called in to dress the wound did not even su spect the existence of such a fragment, and simply applied diachylon plaster, until the wound got well. This extraneous body did not give the slighteat pain for the space of nine years, and it was only three weeks ago that the young man first began to feel an uneasy sensation in roving his eye. The same surgeon being called in, he discovered a sharp fragment of glass close to the lacbrynial caruncula, but could not extract it. It was they the case was brought under the no tice of Dr. Blanchet, who found that the fragment, which he succeeded in extracting, might have remained in many years longer, had it not been displaced by a swelling of the gums and a toothache. The cavity in which the fragment was lodged was lined with a membrane perfectly resembling a mucous one. MISERABLE DEATH OF A MISER.—A wretched old miser, named John Few, has just passed out of the world at this place (Potterne, in Wiltshire) after living for 60 years in a state of the most abject parsimony and squalid filth. For years past he had never been known to bay any thing except bread, and now and then a morsel of cheese. He was generally to be seen wandering about with a small piece of each of these commodities in his left band, but his penury was so great that he rarely ate anything except bread, and that very sparingly; indeed he has been known to carry the same piece of cheese in his hand for weeks together. As to his clothes, they wete in tatters, and the excuse which he made for them was that he was so badly off that he was unable to procure better. In this con dition he passed through life, under the cognomen of " John Few, the old miser." On Saturday week he was seized with diarrhea s , and finding himself very weak and ill, be went to the house of a distant relative, about a mile from his own cottage. He was immediately carried to bed, and a medical gentleman was sent for, and on taking off the old cloth which he worn round his neck, 50 shillings were found concealed in it. lie lingered on for a day or two, and in the meantime was visited by the vicar of the parish, who, feeling confident that the old man was worth some property, in quired of him whether he had made a will ? He replied that he had not, but that he should get better, and that be might then perhaps think about it. Upon being pressed to do it at once, he agreed to do it at nine o'clock the following morning ; but by the following morning he was insensible, and in the afternoon he was a corpse. Immediately after his death, the vicar very properly communicated with the churchwarden and overseer of the parish ; and, as the de ceased appeared to have no immediate relatives, it was thought right to go to his house and take possession of any goods and chattels which it might contain, until a legal owner could be found for them. Mr. Weeks and Mr. Illb herd accordingly forced open the door, but the stench inside was so overpowering as almost to prevent respiration. The room was literally one mass of filth—the accumulation ap parently of years. With the exception o f a m i sera bl e lit t le table, it contained no furniture of any kind, nor was there the slightest appearance of any fire having been used ; in short, there was neither fire-irons, kettle, pot, saucepan, or a single utensil of any kind in the house. An attempt was next made to go up-stairs; but the stench which proceeded from this part of the house was really so intolerable that even with a silk handkerchief over his mouth, Mr. Weeks found it impossible to enter the bedroom ; and it was only after a quantity of tobacco had been burnt, and the church warden bad fortified his stomach by a couple of glasses of brandy, that he could venture to go into the room. Such a scene of filth as this room presented was perhaps never be fore seitnessed. The room down stairs was bad enough, but it was nothing compared to the room i n w hi c h th e wre t c hed miser had passed his nights. It contained neither bed, bed stead, nor bedding of any description; twe old sacks and part of an old great coat were the only things upon the floor (and upon these the old man appeared to have slept). But the filth around baffles all description ; the floor was nearly six inches thick with filth and human excrement, and was literally swarming with masses of living maggots ; even the sacks on which the old man had lain were covered with the most loathsome matter. The only piece of furniture in the room was a box about a yard long, which upon being opened was found to contain what had once been a suit of good black clothes, and a pair of buckskin and a pair of corduroy small clothes, but the mildew and rot had taken such possession of them that upon being removed from their long resting-place they fell to pieces. But besides these articles of clothing there were some aid things hanging El boat, rid cn searchitiv them the deeds of two or three cottages belonging to the old miser were found in one pocket; a banker's receipt for £1435 (upon w hich it has since been asc er t a i ne d th a t no less than £4O interest is due), in another ; a savinas' bank book, in which he was credited to the amount of £195, in another ; and in others several odd memoranda of money lent — amongst them a note of hand for £2OO ; whilst upon further search down stairs, there was found in a corner, buried be neath a quantity of rubbish, an old shoe containing 30 sovereigns, an d concealed in other parts o f th e ho u se various sinaller sums in sixpences, half-pence and farthings. The search altogether proved the old man to have been worth u p wa rds of £6oo—the whole of whi c h w ill be divides amongst persons by whom he was loathed during life, and w ho C ol have no respect for his memory now that he is gene. —Devizes Gazette. PRICE 4D, STAMPED, 5D MR. LINDSAY ON CHERBOURG. Mr. Lindsay, M.P., has addressed the following letter to ibe editor of the Times : "Sir,—lwould not ha ve t rou bl e d you, but as the French papers continue day after d ay to comment on the few re marks offered by one at Shields, and as many of the writers entirely misinterpret what I said, I trust you will grant me an opportunity of contradicting some of their severe ani madversions. Of these I would have taken no notice on my own account, fur a public man must expect to be roughly handled at times, often more so when he speaks the truth. My speech, if worthy of that name, was delivered with out preparation at a friendly meeting; but as I am not in the habit of speaking at random, or upon subjects whi c h I do not understand, I have referre d to see if it contains any remarks which could by possibility offend any reasonable Frenchman. Ido not find any. The phraseology, it i s true, might have been greatly improved, and if I had had the most remote idea that the words which fell from my lips were to be circulated and canvassed to the extent they have been, I would have entered more into detail, and given reasons for the opinions I ventured to offer. " I see nc reason, because I was a guest,' to humble myself before the people of France, or fawn, as many upon their Emperor. I am, however, most anxious to aid those friendly relations which now happily exist between the Emperor of France and the great bulk of the people of this country; and, therefore,,l trust youvill allow me to say that I did not utter one word of malevolence' or `envy' towards our neighbours, and so far from offering, or at tempting to offer, an 'insult to the Emperor and France,' I spoke, and have always spoken, of him (as Emperor) with great respect, and of his subjects with a conviction that they were a refined, courteous, great, and generous people. For their own sakes, I wish they were as enlightened and free as they are courteous and generous, but with their laws and their institution's I have nothing 'whatever to do, and I did not, and never will, interfere. As all .England, however —all Europe, I may say, was invited to take part or to witness their great naval review, the subject was one for public comment, for in it we were all interested. Even Frande did not mean the fete to be a dumb-show, and I dare say the Emperor himself would have been aggrieved had the press of England and the people of this country been silent spectators. It was a public display of his power, and of the naval resources of his empire—a display from which all Eu rope was either to draw a moral or adorn a tale.' I at tempted to draw my moral, by asking what it all meant—if there was any reality, so far as the French people were con cerned, in those embraces with which their Emperor met my Queen ? If it had been the opening of a great mercantile dock to facilitate the exchange of commoditiestetween'Eng land and France, the object of the invitation would have been more' apparent, and that embrace more of a reality, and likely to be far more lasting. I believe the Emperor sincerely desires to maintain peace with England. Wby be does so, it is not necessary for me to inquire; but naval dockyards, gigantic fortifications, and terrible instruments of destruc tion are opposed to progress, civilisation, and peace. Such things as these are created for use, not ornament, and France with her present navy is fit to cope with any other Power, except England. Seeing, therefore, a dock opened of vast dimensions, and with all the appliances for a navy twice as large as that which she now possesses, I arrived at the conclusion that France would not have built so large a dock, unless she intended some time or other to fill it with ships of war. In spite, therefore, of all the profes sions of friendship which I heard, there was such a mystery about all these great arsenals, and building-slips, and dry docks, and railways in connexion with them, without any trade, that I was forced to think how we in England would stand if all that vast machine was brought into operation, and I naturally gave my constituents the benefit of my thoughts. Having done so, I may now ven ture neon an inquiry which may prove alike useful to many politicians both in France and in England. Suppose the po liticians of France attempt to fill those great docks which they have just opened with vessels of war. We can build ships quite as fast, perhaps faster, for we are a far wealthier people, and the burden would be felt much less by us than it would be by them. The rivalry of shipbuilding and creating instruments of demoralisation and death would then be in full play between the two countries. The people of both countries would be heavily taxed to protect them selves against each other, for there is no other maritime Power that either country need have the slightest reason to fear. But such a policy as this would surely be suicidal in the extreme, and would on the part of the Executive of both countries be an act of the greatest injustice towards the people, if there is any honesty in those professions of friend ship and peace about which we have heard so much. Until, therefore, both countries cease building those gigantic ships of war, and come to some understanding of a more binding nature than mere professions, I can have no faith in a permanent peace between France and England. " But suppose France does waste her money in creating a fleet as large as that of England, what will it all amount to? She is great as a military nation, but she has not within her the ingredients of a great maritime Power. For every yacht she owns we have 100—perhaps 200. Our mer chant shipping far exceeds that of France. Her over-sea commerce can bear no comparison with ours. Our children take to the boats and the sea with even more relish than the children of France take to the fife and the drum. Her population is almost stationary—we are rapidly on the increase ; and, however much some of the French writers may have sneered at our sailors amusing themselves on the masthead trucks as proving anything iu their favour, it proves the habits of our people, and forms one of the ingredients which constitute a Navy' in the true sense of the word. A nation cannot be great in every thing, and I speak the words of truth and mature thougl.t when I say that it would be as great folly in England to attempt to rival France in her vast standing armies as it will be on the part of France to attempt to rival England as a maritime Power." TILE COLLIERS' S7'ItIKE. At the last meeting which the colliers on strike in South Staffordshire held last week they announced that they should meet yesterday (Monday), at 4 o'clock, at Horsley heath, whence, after some speeches had been delivered, they should walk in procession to the Netherton-tunnel, just opened by the directors of the Birmingham Canal Company. The announcement of the early hour and place of meeting was made public by the bellman of Dudley Port on Sa turday. Col. Hogg, the Chief Constable of the county, after travelling all night, was upon the spot by 3 o'clock, where he was soon afterwards joined by Major M'Knight, the de puty Chief Constable, Superintendent M'Crea, and about 80 men. Only about 50 colliers, however, assembled. These, at about half-past 6 o'clock, started on the road for Darby cod, in Worcestershire, where by 7 o'clock about 5,000 colliers had assembled. A meeting then took place, the speeches being delivered from a spot named the Cinder mound, of local notoriety, as being the place where, some few years ago, on a similar occasion to the present, a collision took place between the colliers and the police. Yester day morning there were about 100 men of the Worcester shire police on the spot. A collier named William George presided, and after speeches had been delivered, the men at work in that neighbourhood who were at the meeting re solved to drop their tools till they obtained ss. a-day —an increase of ls. a-day upon their present wages. They also consented to call their several pit companions to gether and endeavour to arrive at an understanding which should make the strike extend to all East Worcestershire; the men who bad come from Oldbury to hold a meeting at Wednesbury in the afternoon and return to the Cinder mound the next (this) morning at the same hour, when fur ther plans would be resolved upon. When the " outs " got to the Cinder-mound, some of the men of that district were about to go down their respective pits, but when they saw the men from South Staffordshire they desisted and joined the meeting. At about 8 in the afternoon a meeting was held at Wednesbury, opposite the Dartmouth Hotel; Joseph Linney presided. The proceedings commenced with the singing of a " hymn," comtnencing— " Britannia's sons, for slaves ye be, God, your Creator, made you free; He life to all and being gave, But never, never made a slave." One of the speakers, named Caffery, complained that out of the 300 or 400 persons present there were only few colliers, and urged the necessity of their being united. If they had been united, instead of their employers giving them notice to reduce their wages, they (the men) would have been "sitting at the same table with their masters, consulting on the best means of letting the produce of their labour go through the commerce of the world for their benefit and their master's also." (Applause.) It became the colliers to have their brains at work for a little, and allow their hands to be idle. If they had been at work instead of on strike during the last six weeks, th er e would have Veen some hundreds of fatherless children and some scores of t widows. They had therefore cause to be thankful that during that time none of them had been murder t e'in h E t ;e a anof coal pit. (Applause.) They were suffering from oppression ; but if it was not for their labour the capital of the men of wealth would lie idle and be useless. A proposi tion was then put that the colliers of Wednesbury should put down their tools till all obtained ss. a day. The proposi tion was carried amid exclamations that no Wed nesbury men were there, and that the voters were all from Bilston. A speaker named Jackson then upbraided the Wednesbury collers that they would rather Io to a wake than look after the interests of their families. t was announced that the men had already obtained some thing by their strike. A notice was read that had just been issued by Messrs. Blackwell and Co., of Russell's-hall Col liery, Dudley, in which that firm gave notice to their butties , that they must no longer keep üblic-houes and that if the men had money stopped f p rom them tor drink the masters would restore it. At the commencement of th e mee ting about 10 or 12 of the men had ugly sticks with them, and one had a stone. About 60 policemen were on the spot, under the Deputy Chief-Constable of the county (Major M'Knight). One of the speakers said, for himself h e did not want the police, but perhaps some of his brethren were not as he was. The men separated quietly, to meet at 7 o'clock the next morning at the Cinder-mound. BOAT WRECKS AT WICK.--WICK, Friday.—This morning has witness!d another sad scene of destruction at Pulteneytown-harbour, resulting in the entire loss of three herring fishing-boats and the partial loss of a fourth, arising from the extraordinary crush at present in the harbour, which is crowded to its entrance with boats and vessels, so much so that the pil o t s h ave rece i ve d f rom C a pt. Tudorim perative instructions•to take no more vessels in (there being 'upwards of a dozen in the bay, bound for this port) till some of those now loading shall have sailed; but yesterday seve ral captains insisted on obtaining admission, and towed their vessels in at their own risks. 'Die boats, as may be well imagined, under the circarnstauces, are huddled together in both harbours, the inner being such a mass of boats and vessels that not an inch of water is to be seen in its entire area, while the outer, which is much exposed, is in pretty neatly the same conditi o n. This morning four boats lying near the entrance broke loose from their moorings, and drifted among the boulders at the back of thelarbour, a heavy surf, not 44;hstsnding the mildness of the weather, running at the time. In a brief period three of the boats were total wrecks, and mast, oars, buoys, and portions of the boats were either floating in the bay or strtw lug the beach. The fourth, a fine new boat, was after much exertion and with great' difficulty got off, with h , :x bottom So much broken and the hull so shaken that it it question able if she can be repaired. The loss will tell very severely on several of the dwners of those boats, one of whom has lost both boat and nets, the latter being oia board at the time. The estimated loss is as follows :—lloat belonging to Ali-x• Swanson, Wick, partially inkqed ; loss supposed, £6O. Boat and nets, totally losti belonging to Donald Miller, East Clyth ; loss supposed, £lOO. Boat, totally lost, be longing to Thomas Mackay, Thurso ; loss suppwet4 &40.

The Ballot Society have issued an "Analysis of the Divi sion on the Ballot, June 8, 1858." The ayes were 197, eight mere than in the preceding year. Noes, 296; Pairs, 44 ; absent friends, 16—F. B. Beamish, Cork city ; J. Esmonde, Waterford county ; J. Fer gus , Fif es hi re • S. G reer (ill ness in family); Sir H. Keating (ill); Major Knox, Dungannon ; Sir R. Levinge, Westmeath; T.

Ab sen t oppo nents,' 56; Liberals absent, 32 ; absent Conservatives, 8. The number for the ballot, including pairs and tellers, was 221. The number against, 318. The number of members of the present house favourable to the ballot is 247. Our readers will thus see that the question is making progress every year. Tuere voted in the majority 86 Whigs, Peelites, and Libe rals, and 232 Conservatives. Lord Stanley continues neutral. In the Parliament el.ected in 1847, the ballot was brought yearly before the House of Commons by Mr. Henry Berke ley, the numbers voting being as follows :-1848, ayes 86, noes 81 ; 1849, ayes 85, noes 136; 1850, ayes 121, noes 176; 1851, ayes 87, noes 50; 1852, ayes 144, noes 246. Shortly after the general election of 1852 the Ballot Society was established. The committee have sedulously attended to securing the presence, at the yearly divisions, of members favourable to the measure; and the result of their labours is an increase in the number of Mr. Berkeley's supporters, on each division in the last and present Parliaments. The fol lowing are among the numbers :—For 1856, ayes 156, noes 196; 1857, ayes 219, noes 287; 1858, ayes 222, noes 319. This gratifying result has arisen from the labours of the society, the personal exertions, gratuitously given, of mem bers of the executive committee, and a systematic course of (1) parliamentary, (2) electoral, and (3) educational agi tation. 1. The views of every member are ascertained inmediately on His election. , Ifupposed to the ballot, a condensed library of evidence and reasoning .on the question , is placed is his hands. By cireulars,• and the labours of members of the society, who are also members of Parliament, the attendance of the pledged supporteri of the ballot is secured at_divisions. The course taken by every member on the questiOts is brought before his constituents and. the public. 2. Whenever a vacancy occurs in the representation, the constituency is visited, and the question of the ballet agi tated by deputations, lectiircs, and the distribution of tracts. An extensive correspondence is kept up with electors in all districts, informing them upon matters connected with t h e progress of the cause, and engaging their personalco-opera tion in discussing the question with opponents, in distribut ing tracts, procuring petitions, and soliciting the votes in Parliament of their local members. 3. The boroughs and counties are visited by deputations of the society, and meetings held in favour of the ballot, which the electors are specially invited to attend. Tracts on the question are circulated amongst the electors and other inha bitants; in all 500,000 tracts have been distributed by the , society. The society, in their report for 1858, just issued, say : , " Our aim is to leave , no one destitute of the means of per ceiving bow injurious open voting and its results are tothim self and the community. To the influence by which it is sup ported we oppose the power of reason and the claims - of jus tice, and we meet by facts the sophisms by which open vot ing is defended. Further and increasingly strenuous exertions are necessary to set the seal of final success upon the past. The ground we have gained demands and inspirits to redoubled effort. The ballot is not gained, but it has pro gressed. We are daily gaining the co-operation of men of wealth, intelligence, and influence, who are fast swelling our ranks. The ballot, thanks to the parliaments and people of our Australian colonies, is, with the assent of th e Queen, on the advice of her ministers, an established insti tution in the British dominions. The work must be carried on. There must be more meetings, more tracts, more con ferences, more ag itation. Every borough and every county which has not yet been must be visited. Every constituency whose representatives have not hitherto supported Mr. Ber keley's motion for the ballot, must be invited to memorialise its members to vote for the ballot. We are approaching the sixth year of our struggle. We ask of you to replenish our pecuniary means for sustaining it—we appeal to you to create confidence in our cause, and dismay in its opponents, by enabling us to carry on our work with increased activity and spirit. We ask you not only to subscribe yourselves, but to invite your friends and neighbours to join us. We are confident we shall not ask in vain." While we have pen in hand, we may just correct an erro neous impression which we have found prevailing in some quarters respecting the lecturers of the society. These gen tlemen's labours are all gratuitous. Mr. Whitehurst, the respected vice-chairman, in particular, far from being a paid agent, is an entirely independent man, i.e. independent of any hire or pay. lie has subscribed larg e ly to the move ment, and, though dependent on his profession, has given up a great deal of his valuable time to promote the cause of the ballot. We have found many friends who imagine that he gets £5 or £lO per address, but this we know is an entire mistake, and an injustice to his disinterested attachment to, and exertions on behalf of, the movement. Of course there is no reflection on a man who is paid, like Mr. Gough and others—yet people, as our readers are aware, give consider ably less attention to paid lecturers, however able, and attach more regard to what comes from a voluntary advo cate. Mr. Whitehurst was induced, we believe, to take up the ballot question on account of having contested Bothnia at the general election of 1852, and having failed for want of the ballot. The result of that contest opened his eyes to the fact which all discover as they get acquaintance with the political arena—that men who have not the money or the disposition to bribe, or to pay lawyers for turning the screw, and who are not backed by local influence, cannot become members of Parliament, for want of the ballot, though pos- Fessed of every requisite for the office. THE BOILER EXPLOSION NEAR NOTTINGIIAM.—At the inquest on the body of George Stevenson, who lost his life by the explosion of a steam thrashing machine at Day brook, near Nottingham, on Friday last, it was stated in evidence that the explosion resulted from the engineman, Henry Sully, leaving tho machine without closing the damper or easing the safety valve, thus causing the steam to generate rapidly and to burst the boiler. Immediately after the accident it was found that the corn stacks in the vicinity of the engine were on fire, but the flames were suppressed without much damage being done. Large pieces of metal from the machine were driven to a distance of 200 yards, and a flywheel was picked up 100 yards from the engine. The inquest was adjourned to the 30th inst., as Sully, the engine ' man, is at present suffering from severe injuries received at the explosion. TILE LATE REV. DR.

FISHERMEN'S STRIKE—EXCITING PURSUIT OF A SMACK BY A STEAMER.—Our most public streets con tinue to be daily paced by groups of fishermen and boys, about 200 of whom, we are informed, remain oat of employ ment on strike, in support of the rules of their own society, and in opposition to the combination of the smackowners, each society being firmly bent on breaking up the other. One of the rules of the fishermen prohibits any vessel in which they sail from carrying fish for any other boat. This it belongs to the same club as the carrying .

Thin was at half-past three. The owners, seeing they were deceived by the Olive, consulted Mr. F. Ayre, solicitor, who, on the g roun d , we understand, that Pearce had not paid the whole of his purchase, and was therefore not entitled to act as owner, obtained a warrant from the borough police court, and the assistance of three policemen (Nos. 28, 42, and 76), who proceeded with Mr. Ayre and Mr. Macrow, in the Hotspur steam-tug, about five o'clock, in pursuit of the fugitives; they went as far as Killingholme, and until Grhnsby was in sight, but at eight p.m., returned to Hull, without having seen the object of their pursuit. Mr. Macrow, however, proceeded the same evening by rail to Grimsby in pursuit of the vessel. The escape of the Victoria and Albert appeared to give high glee to the fishermen who remain on strike.—Hull Pacquet. A CURIOUS OCCURRENCE.—A few weeks ago a hen, at the farm of Westmill, Carse of Gowry—e hybrid. between a Dorking and a Cochin-China fowl—having com menced " clucking," and showing no inclination to make to herself a nest like others of her sisterhood, she was watched, and found to spend a large portion of her time in a past the cats in connection with possessedrsas a sort of nursery. More tbheer, room, ta c,ha d which f or ye& over, it was also an ascertained fact that one of the latter had at the time no felver than seven kittens there ; and how " baudrons" could allow her family arrangements to be thus interfered with by a " cluckin' hen" was a wonder to all the co tter wives in the neighbourhood. But if their wonder was g reat on that score, it was not lessened by the results of a further investigation. On entering the room they found chuckle sitting on the floor with two pretty little kittens looking out beneath her wings, and a third coiled on her back, and the enraptured foster-dana herself "cluck clucking,' to their great solace and enjoyment.
