PrIfORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.— tque _lt is only a short time since this singularly efficacious ce Vf animal diet first made its appearance ; and already ~ority is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, br o ai Puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been ton,„„'"t . about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts ft the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since , `i - "„„tienian wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a th, - ‘tect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get of•Ylninial into condition, but in vain. He then bought some horB toi l food; and he says the effect was wonderful : The kai n e jaPidly grew fat, and in the ?purse of a few weeks had esi t ,' , no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri rr7,„,rll shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which ley , ;",.' off the highest•prizes had been partly fed with Thor are Pod for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we fro l e it r_d to . the e(?nclusion that its celebrity arises solely own intrinsic merits, and the ;great demand for it can Wh alone from the good opinion and testimony of those Will 'lave tried it.

He said he now stood before his constituents to know whether his conduct since he had been their member had met with their ap probation. (Cheers.) The mayor had referred to an affair in which he was concerned during the last session. It was now a pleasure to him to give the fullest explanation in his power. He alluded to the defeat of the Goverment of Lord Palmerston —(hear, hear, and cheers)—upon what was called the Conspiracy Bill. The truth was, a difference of opinion arose between the House of Commons and the Executive Government as to the manner in which that Government had exercised its discretion in dealing with our relations with France. The House of Commons differed with the Government, and expressed its opinion constitutionally- and legi timately, in the form of a vote of censure. That carried with it the support of the most independent and experienced men of all parties then in the House. (Hear.) It was not a question argued in a sense hostile to France. He was an advocate for maintaining peaceful relations with all countries ; but, above all, he strenuously advocated the main tenance of the most friendly alliance with France. (Hear, hear.) The House of Commons thought the Government were about to alter an important law in a precipitate -manner, and in a spirit opp ose d t o the security of the refugees in this country. They thought that, without calm investigation, to alter so delicate a law as that of conspiracy deserved the reprobation of the House of Commons. For, what was conspiracy ? Of all offences it was the most difficult to define. A look, a word, or an act might be the proof of a conspiracy. To make a mere unfulfilled intention a felony, as was proposed by the bill—such a change in the law of England ought only to be made after the fullest Parliamentary deliberation. (Hear, hear.) But it was proposed in a hasty, ill-considered manner, and in a manner somewhat humiliating to the dignity and independence of England as a nation. The House of Commons therefore rejected the bill ; the Ministry fell, and should the same events again occur he (Mr. Gibson) would pursue the same course that he took on that occasion. lie never was more satisfied in his life than with the course which the Parliamcnt took in rejecting the Con spiracy Bill, even although there followed the fall of a Whig Government. -- (Hear,t(li.) Those who voted against the bill were charged with having brought in the Tories. He was no Tory, but what harm, after all, had happened from the advent of the Earl of Derby to power ? It must be expected in this country, from time to time, that the Tories, like other political parties,would have their innings. (Laughter.) They soon got either bowled out or caught out ; but he was not sure whether an in nings to the Tories did not do some good to the Whigs. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) The latter came out of Opposition a little fresher than they went into it ; and he had no doubt it would be found in the next session that the Whig leasers had made a very considerable step in advance, in consequence of having been thrown into the shades of Opposition. (Hear, hear.) He would do Lord Derby the justice to say that he had done some very good things since he had been at the head of affairs ; and that he had given utterance to many important truths which we were not in the habit of hearing from our late Whig leaders. He had car ried the Jew Bill—perhaps because his lordship found it an absolute necessity to get rid of that difficulty, that it might not stand in his way. But it did not matter how things were carried,provided they were carried. Now as to our foreign relations. He thought the spirit of Lord Derby's speech at the Mansion-house on the 9th of November was very much to be commended. It was the speech of a statesman, and of a Minister who desired, without in the slightest degree impairing the honour or dig nity of his country, to maintain friendly relations with his neighbours. There was no bombast, no bullying in its tone ; and his lordship said 'that should any difference arise between England and any foreign power, before resorting to hostilities his Government would endeavour to bring into action the principle laid down at the Conference of Paris, to try to settle it by reference to some third and friendly power. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Gibson) was glad to hear those sentiments in high places ; for it was his farm opinion that there was no policy so necessary for the future happiness and good go vernment of England as a policy of peace. We de pended upon our trade—we had large populations whose daily bread depended upon constant employ ment in our staple manufactures ; and if ever there was a country whose very security depended upon the maintenance of a peaceful policy, that country was England. (Cheers.) He was not a peace-at any-price man ; he was simply arguing in favour of a policy of peace and non-interference. (Hear.) In connection with the Conspiracy Bill, he was charged with being indifferent to the maintenance of friendly relations with France ; but what had been the result of the defeat of that bill in respect to our relations with France ? Why, the Prime Minister had stated that never in the history of the two countries were they upon a more friendly foot ing than now. (Hear, hear.) Although no man ad vocated more than he did the perfect freedom of the press of England—though no man was more alive than he was to the importance of free discussion as regarded other countries as well as our own—ne vertheless he could wish that our newspapers did not favour us so continually with repeated disserta tions upon the internal Government of France. We had plenty of abuses in England. (Hear, hear.) Let editors employ their talents in exposing the in justices and corruptions that exist in our own in stitutions. We had plenty to do without constantly discussing the affairs of our neighbours; and, more than this, he would say that if the press of this country was to be constantly put ting the most unfavourable construction on everything that occurred in France, in re ference to their designs upon England, then, do what you would, it would be impossible to main tain those friendly relations that every true lover of his country heartily desired to see maintained. (Cheers.) Therefore, he did sincerely wish that our leading journals would stick, day by day, if they pleased, to the new Reform Bill. (Cheers.) Let them expose the gross extravagance of our own executive Government—let them expose corruption in high places, and write with a view to give to the industrious classes their fair share of political power. (Cheers.) If they were true advocates of freedom, instead of abusing France, let them en deavour to set an example of their confidence in freedom by extending political rights to the great body of the people of this country. (Cheers.) As soon as Lord Palmerston's Government had fallen they began to make preparations for getting back to office; and it was thought they would seon suc ceed, for it was in everybody's mouth, " Lord Derby can't hold the Government for three weeks." And there happened an event very favourable, as it seemed at first, to Lord Palmerston's chances. Lord Ellenborough published a despatch —a secret de spatch, as they said it ought to have been—ad dressed to the Governor-General of India, and re proving him for having proclaimed the confiscation of all the private landed property in Oude. In that despatch there were some magnanimous and gene rous thoughts, expressed in powerful language ; and the whole of the offices were actually up in arms at the idea of a Minister saying anything generous and kind in a public despatch, and then publishing it. (Laughter.) They rose in rebellion. The great official mind was in a state of perfect excitement at such a deviation from the mere rou tine of official practice, that routine being a system of secrecy and mystification. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He, for one, was very glad to read the despatch ; not only because he approved entirely of a great part - of its torrtentv 'but - because he never- would quarrel with a Minister for giving to Par liament information upon public affairs. (Hear, hear.) We had suffered a great deal from this system of secrecy—of keeping everything in the dark, and leaving members of Parliament to argue public questions without any knowledge of the designs or the policy of the Ministers of the day. (Hear, hear.) However, a vote of censure was brought forward, condemning Lord Ellen borough for publishing the despatch. Lord Ellen borough admitted that he was individually and solely responsible—that he had written the despatch and taken upon himself to make it known—that he had acted independently of his colleagues; and as the Government appeared to be endangered by his proceedings he resigned. Lord Palmerston was in such a hurry to return to power, that they actually went on with the vote of censure, although the only man who deserved censure had made the aniende honorable by leaving the Government. A man with the smallest experience in political life must have seen at a glance that that was a great politi cal blunder, and so it turned out—(hear, hear)—for after going on with the debate—making speeches of talent, but of the most vindictive and determined character—they withdrew the motion, put their papers into their green bags, and disappeared in confusion. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) The affair was nothing but a great blunder on the part of those political leaders who some time since put themselves at the head of the Liberal party. He thought the time was come for many of those old leaders to retire from the field. (Hear, hear.) Lord Palmerston himself—why he had nothing to com plain of—he had been in office about N years. (Laughter.) And when a man had been in office for 50 years with all Governments, and had given satisfaction to all parties, he might very well re tire. He (Mr. Gibson) wished him health, happi ness, and a long life, provided he did not trouble us any more with aspiring to be the leader of the Libe ral party. ("Hear, hear," and laughter.) There were several ancient politicians who, he thought, with all respect to them, ought to retire. There was no promotion in the political world—the old heads stuck to their posts so long, and people said longer than was justified by their bodily energies and mental powers. There was a propriety in men retiring from the leadership of great political parties when they had arrived at that period of life when they could not conduct matters with the vigour and promptitude which were required for such important duties. (Hear, hear.) Had Mr. Cardwell's motion come to a vote, he (Mr. Gibson) would have voted against it, even though it might have laid him open to the charge of keeping in the Tories. The next question in which he interfered with was one in which he had been interested for many years—viz., the total re peal of the paper duty. His reason for moving in this matter, while there were so many taxes press ing heavily upon the springs of industry, was that some years ago an agitation was commenced for the emancipation of the press of England from all taxes. There were then three taxes—the advertisement duty, the newspaper stamp, and the p a p er d u ty. The two former having been repealed, he was bound to go on for the repeal of the third. In the last ses sion of Parliament this movement met with some success, for the House of Commons agreed to a re• solution that the paper duty should not be per mitted—or rather that it was impolitic to raise re venue by a duty on paper—thereby laying down the principle, that taxing an article of this descrip tion was not a fit and proper mode of raising the income of the State. The Government were there fore bound, if they wanted the money that the paper duty now afforded them, to find out some other less objectionable mode of raising the sum I required. Could anything be more monstrous than that they should be voting money for schools on the one hand, and at the same time allowing a tax on books used in the schools for the purpose of instruc tion ? The paper duty was imposed by Queen Anne with the avowed object of preventing the circula tion of cheap publications; but there was this absur dity in it—it was an instruction to the committee of the House of Commons that imposed the duty, that with the view to the encouragement of learn ing there should be a remission of the duty on all books in the Latin, Greek, Oriental, and Northern languages. Could it be conceived that in this 19th century the duty was remitted on the classic books printed at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and that it was put on the artisans' primer and school books? And yet we avowed ourselves to be anxious to extend knowledge and promote education among the working classes. He never could get one clergy man or bishop to say a word in favour of the repeal of the paper duty. They would quarrel over the forms of religion to be taught in the schools, but turn a deaf ear to a scheme which appeared to him (Mr. Gibson) calculated to deserve the support of all parties, because it would enable the working classes to educate themselves. (Hear and cheers.) When he went on a deputation to the late Chan cellor of the Exchequer, Sir G. C. Lewis, with re spect to this tax, he (Mr. Gibson) inquired whether English was not a Northern language, and if not what the term meant. He was told that it meant Russian ; so that an Englishman might print and circulate as many books in Russian as he pleased, and pay no paper duty ; but if he printed a book in his native English, then came the exciseman and claimed and received his .11d. in the pound. He hoped he had the support and approbation of his constituents in his endeavours to repeal this obnoxious tax. (Hear, hear, hear.) If the paper duty were repealed to-morrow, in a short time the loss to the revenue would not be known, for the remaining taxes would become more pro ductive. The late Sir Robert Peel, by his sagacious selection of taxes for remission, removed many burdens from the people, not only without impair ing the revenues of the State, but actually increas ing at the same time the public income. (Hear.) There was a question now occupying public atten tion upon which he supposed it was becoming of him to say something, though he did not know much, because he had not seen any of the plans likely to be proposed to Parliament in reference to reforming the representation. He saw that a gen tleman was charged with having stolen a public despatch ; and he wished that the document stolen had been the new Reform Bill. (Laughter.) He should like to have seen what it was Lord Derby was going to propose. It was reported in London that Lord Derby, who was rather a sporting cha racter, was going to astonish the old Whigs ; that he was going further than they, perhaps, would like to follow. Then there was his (Mr. Gib son's) esteemed and excellent friend Mr. Bright —(cheers)—but he had not seen Mr_ Bright's Re form Bill. Although it might not go to an ex tent that would meet all the wishes of Reformers, he had no doubt it would be a real and solid im provement in the representative system. (Hear, hear.) There were three questions we had to ask ourselves—Was reform wanted ? What sort of reform would we have ? How are we to carry any Reform Bill ? Taking the last first, it was clear that to carry a real measure we must be content to sacrifice minor differences. Those who wish to go a little way must be content to go a little further ; 'those who were prepared to go a great way must be satisfied with stopping somewhat short. By that union of forces, we might be able to carry a good and valuable measure, improving the representa tion, and giving the people a more effectual control over the Government. (Cheers.) The Bill of 1832 was carried in that way. That measure was dis paraged now; but it was a large one as compared with the then existing state of things. Earl Grey said a few years previously that he could prove that 145 individuals, peers and great commoners, re turned a majority of the House of Commons. (Hear,, hear.) It must bo admitted that the bill of 1832 was a greater advance, comparatively, than any well consletaittniCatmre We-could now eitipeut*nittd, be. People were not now so alarmed as they used to be at the idea of reform. Sir It. Inglis predicted that if the bill of 1832 passed, in 10 years there would be no King in England, and that the Lords would be turned out of their house. (Laughter.) But now we had epon the throne a monarch who was, perhaps, more loved and respected than ever before was monarch of England—(cheers)—and we had the House of Lords still in full feather. (Laugh ter.) What we were now going to ask for was not the destruction of the House of Lords or any inter ference with the prerogatives of the Crown. What we wanted was a real House of Commons, as well as a House of Lords ; a House of Commons returned by the people,and not nominated by the Lords ; and that there might be freedom of voting through the protection of the ballot. (Loud cheers.) The first and staggering fact we met with in reference to reform—and it was a complete answer to his first question —was, that out of 5,000,000 adult males scarcely 1,000,000 enjoyed the elective franchise. (A voice—" And a great shame 'tis !") That state of things could not last. Every man must feel that it was a question that would have to be dealt with, and what he wished was that it should be dealt with calmly and dispassionately, when the passions of the people were not aroused, and with the knowledge that the great mass of the people were daily improving in political and other know ledge. Lord Macaulay had well said, " The great cause of revolutions is that nations move onwards and that constitutions stand still." Let us in Eng land, as we knew that our people were moving on ward, see that our constitution moved also. But he would bo asked, " How far will you go ? (hear, hear)—are you prepared for universal suf rage? What will you do" He answered, that his individual opinion upon the question of the suf frage—of it being a political right appertaining to the man—availed nothing in the consideration of a matter of this sort. He would support that ex tension of the suffrage which appeared to meet the approval of the grsktest body of sincere Reformers which appeared the most likely to be carried, and to confer a great advantage upon the country. He would not be deterred from supporting a moderate measure, because it might not come up to those abstract theories of the right of the suffrage being in the man which everybody no doubt, whether Tory or Liberal, must in his conscience hold. (Cheers.) In dealing with the question, in these times, we must deal with it as practical men, look ing to what could kbe carried. Let a well-consi dered measure be laid upon the table by men in whom the Liberal party had confidence ; let that bill be well circulated and considered; and, if it meet the approval of public meetings in the large towns, then let the whole Reform party unite to a man and carry it through t he Legislature. (Cheers.) With regard to the vote by ballot, it was thought by many to be an unimportant question. He held it to be vital to the freedom of election in a country like this. Do what they would with the suffrage a man could not exercise it freely ifthere was coupled with the right of voting the condition that he was to publish his vote to all mankind. In a country like this, in which there were so many social influences, so many real powers exercised by owners of pro perty over the labour of the country, by landlords over tenants, and by customers over those who dealt in articles of merchandise, we had a case for the ballot without going to Australia or any other country. It could not be too often repeated that, when the Reform Bill of 1832 was under considera tion, it was distinctly avowed by the ministers of those days that the ballot was a subject for future consideration. It was well known that the Cabinet of Lord Grey had resolved at that time to give the ballot with a £2O franchise; and that they took away the ballot when they extended the franchise to £lO, although when the franchise was extended he considered there was greater necessity for the ballot, They might depend upon it there was no real ground for opposing the vote by ballot, but a fear of the existing constituency of the country. There was no danger in reform in England if by danger was understood confusion or disorder. We were a practical common sense people, and could manage our reforms without violence or force, by simple appeals to reason. He believed there was nothing in the shape of Parliamentary reform which the people would have a difficulty in obtain ing if they set to work and argued the question out with those who held high places, and brought the force of public opinion to bear upon them. (Hear.) In no, matter, perhaps, was the necessity of reform greater than in the expenditure of the country. Our military, naval, and ordnance estimates now amounted to upwards of £22,000,000 a-year, while during the Duke of 'Wellington's time, in 1835, he thought X 11,000,000 or £12,000,000 a-year sufficient to defend the country. 'What could be the reason that at a time when we were told our relations with all the world were of a peaceful character, and that the Eastern question was settled—what could be the reason for this enormous expenditure ? They might rely upon it, it was for the interest of Eng lishmen to reduce our public expenditure. The Parliament was powerless upon the question, for this simple reason, that there were too many mem bers of Parliament interested in upholding and maintaining this public expenditure. (Hear.) The people had not the control over the pub lic expenditure Which a Parliamentary preform would give them ; and, upon that ground, as well as upon others, he believed there was an urgent need for the immediate consideration of the measure which now regulated the representation of the people. He had put his name to a programme pro posing that the rate book should be made the re gister. He did not know whether that was the scheme to be presented by those who would submit a Reform Bill. But whatever bill was introduced, unless the ballot were part of it, it would be an imperfect measure and ineffectual for the purposes intended. (Hear.) There was one other branch of public affairs to which he wished to allude--the distribution of patronage. That question alone was sufficient to justify the demand for political reform. He contended that the patronage of this country in the civil departments, in the army, and in the navy was not fairly distributed according to merit, but was for the most part allotted to those who had political and family influence, and who could bring that influence to bear upon the Government of the dtiy. The aristocracy had got too large a share of the patronage and emoluments of office. Every Englishman, he considered, had a right to serve the State, and to be upon an equal footing with eYory Mr. It. Kershaw moved, and Mr. S. Mills se conded a vote of thanks to, and confidence in, the hon. member ; which was carried by acclamation and briefly acknowledged. Mr. Gibson then moved a vote of thanks to the Mayor ; and It having been seconded by Mr. Reyner, and carried, the Mayor responded, and the proceedings terminated. . , - -. .. .., . . . -•. . ..• ' • . , • - w-' ," --" . 4 1 ''.'' : .

(Hear.) (mild be no monopolies of these appointments. Tfe effect of the present fyste m was pretty well shoe n in the management of the Crimean war. Did they recollect all the disasters and the dreadful ineffi ciency, which the 's newspaper argibd would have justified something very little short of a revo lution unless a remedy were found for it ? The fault, he (Mr. Gibson) said, lay in the patronage being distributed according to family, personal, and political influences, and not fairly according to the merits of the candidates. (Hear.) Lord Pal. , merston said it was not the fault of the aristocracy that things went wrong during the Crimean war. His words were :—" The sufferings of the army in the East arose from causes beyond control." And then he asserted that where the system had broken down and the service failed was not that the gentry, the aristocracy, the noblemen of the army, were in fault, but persons belonging to other classes of the community. "It is," he said, "in the medical de partment, the commissariat department, the trans port department, which nobody contends are filled with the sons of the aristocracy—it is there that your system has broken down, that the service has failed; and this it is that has been the main cause of the sufferings of which we are all complaining." He did not believe that statement except as to the fint sentence ; and he believed so much, because the people were not represented and had not con trol over patronage, so that the right men could be put into the right places, and the public service be carried on With efficiency. He would undertake to say that tag - , upon whomthe blame of the Crimean disasters rested were a very respectable body of men, most of them probably owing their appoint ments to some influence through that aristocracy to whom the noble lord alluded. It,. was pretendfd - now timrthe - door to uppoinitiertii *as opened' by means of competitive examinations; but the prin ciple was evaded. Nobody was allowed to go in to compete (with some exceptions) other than by being nominated ; so that the old evil of personal influ ence and patronage remained as complete as ever, although there might be the examination as some proof that a candidate had certain qualifications. What was wanted was the power, without asking my Lord This or Mr. That for a favour, to be able to enter names of candidates, and that those who passed, and thus proved themselves duly qualified, should have appointments as a matter of right. In that way we should uphold not only the rights of our fellow-citizens, but the independence of Parlia ment itself ; for the amount of patronage at the dis posal of Ministers—an amount which was daily in creasing—was of such a character that members of Parliament, not being free from the infirmities of human nature, very often, for the sake of that very patronage, were induced to swerve from that inde pendent course of political action which their con stituents desired to see pursued. We must strike at the root of this system of filling offices by family and political influence, and thus give to Englishmen what was nothing but their positive right. The workiug classes had a strong interest in this matter. He was not afraid of extending political power among those classes ; but upon that point he would not dwell, after detaining them so long. He would only say that he was not an advocate of universal suffrage. There must be a register —some means of identifying the voter ; but depend upon it, that in the new bill you must consider somehow the letting of the working classes into a greater share of political power than they have hitherto enjoyed. (C4ers.) It might be said that this was very dangerous to property ; but he did not believe it. He believed that the working classes were as de termined supporters of the rights of property as were the richest nobles in the land; and let it be remembered that the working classes had a pro perty—their labour,—and that their labour was the foundation of all property. (Loud applause, during which the right hon. member resumed his scat, having spoke for an hour and five minutes.) PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD. GREEK LITERA7'URE. It was justly said by the Emperor Charles the Fifth, that to learn a new language is to acquire a new soul. And it may be added with equal jus tice that the Greek language and literature, when properly studied, confer upon a man, in the highest degree, that advantage which he is sure to derive in some degree from the study of any foreign lan guage and literature whatever. Now that our foreign relations are every day brought home more inti mately, to the very heart of the English pcople,lower classes and all, it is more generally felt that a man is at a disadvantage, who is acquainted only with the writers of his native tongue, and who believes that tastes and habits of thought, which belong only to his own age and country, arc inseparable from the nature of the race. Every one by nature is a Chinaman ; he will not give np :a sovereign contempt for everything beyond the wall of his own celestial empire, which is merely the effect of ignorance. But a very slight initiation into Greek literature, provided it be undertaken bona fide, and under sufficient auspices, is sufficient to work a change. A man then finds that principles of politics and morals, directly contrary to those which he has hitherto supposed to be unquestionable, have been held by large and enlightened communities ; that feelings which are so common among his contemporaries, that he had supposed them to be instinctive, have been unknown to whole generations ; and that images which have never failed to excite the ridicule of those among whom he has lived, have been thought grand and sublime by millions. A new world of literature and science has thus been discovered for him. New veins of intellectual wealth have been laid open.---. Literary Gazette, Dec. 4.

It causes no extra expense, as it contains far more and better nourishment than its cost of 14d. per feed sup plies in corn and hay; hence ensures an actual saving in the keep. But its principal advantages are a great ini provenient in the digestive functions, the stamina and' general condition of horses enabling them to perform far more labour without getting distressed. It imports new vigour to sick, debilitated, or old apparently worn-out horses, and it puts rapidly the finest flesh on cattle gene rally, and improves the milk in cows, as it enables them to extract the entire nourishment out of everything they feed on.
