IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF TIORSES.L- After long experience, deep researches into chymistry, by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs., st the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed far a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 74d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

Yesterday morning the report was issued of the select committee appointed to inquire into the organisation and management of those branches of the Admiralty, War office, India-office, and Emi• gration Board, by which the business of transport ing, by means of shipping, troops, convicts, emi grants, materials of war, stores, and any other similar aervies is now performed. The report, which is dated the 26th ult., consists of upwards of five pages, The following are the chief recommendations : " The immediate separation of the transport from the victualling department of the Admiralty. The removal from the India-office of the transport of all troops and stores to and from our East India possessions. The abolition of the Emigration-office, and consequently the transfer to the Colonial-office, to which it legitimat e ly b e l ongs, o f a ll b us iness con nected with the various laws passed by the colonial legislatures relating to land or emigration, the con sideration of land claims, the preparation of mineral leases, the framing of orders in council relating to land, and all similar duties now performed by the Commissioners of Emigration. Simultaneously with these important, but necessary changes, the committee recommend the formation of a distinct and separate Transport -office on the principle of the late Transport Board, properly organised, and directly responsible to a department of the state, for transport of every kind required by the Govern ment to any part of ou r coast, an d to a ll our colo nies and possesions, including India. Under the charge of this office your committee recommend that there should be depots at Southampton, Birkenhead, and Plymouth, and so much of the valuable and already organised machinery of the Emigration-office as may be found necessary, as also the services of the most competent agents, clerks, and surveyors now attached to the India Transport and Emigration offices who may be willing to transfer their services if required. When these changes are effected, ev ery d epar t men t of the Government requiring transport would apply to the transport-effice, the head of which office should be held responsible for the quality a n d sou ndness of . all vessels engaged by and the m ann i ng , fitting, provisioning, and ventilating of those vessels. He should also be responsible for the stowage of all cargo, and for due care of the health, comfort, and sa f e ty of all troops and Government passengers, from the time they were embark e d till l an d e d a t their port of destination. Separat e an d distinct accoun ts should, in the opinion of your committee, be kept at the Transport-office of the cost of the work done for each department o f th e G overnmen t, and rendered periodically, and a distinct estimate of the entire annual cost, .divided i n t o s eparate heads, should be annually ;aid before Parliament as a transport estimate." GREAT FIRES AND GREAT WARETIOUSES.—The Manchester warehouses have grown int@ enormous store.. houses, full of the most combustible materials, without hav ing any partition walls at all. Cook's warehouse, in St. Paul's churchyard, is perhaps the most striking example of this evasion of the letter of the law. It contains no less than 1,100,000 cubic feet of space, filled with cotton goods, or 900,000 feet more than the space contemplated by the law. And Cook's warehouse is only a sample of these kind of buildings that are growing in every direction in the heart of the city. Mr. Braidwood was never tired of raising his warning voice against these centres of dire conflagrations. These warehouses, he was often heard to say, are inaugu rating an era of gigantic fires, against which the efforts of the Brigade will be powerless. The buildings, too, are so constructed as to render the firemen afraid to enter them. Iron girders, supported by iron columns, hold up the floors of these enormous buildings, and when these become red hot, in consequence of the fierce blast to which they are subjected, the fireman plays upon them at his peril, as the water suddenly contracts them on one side, and they snap and shiver in an instant, bringing the whole building down With a run,—Once a Week. THE C 01.11 2. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STN. SlR,—Having obtained observations of the splen did comet now visible on three successive evenings, I have been enabled to calculate the elements of its orbit, which I now transmit, together with a few particulars founded upon them. The comet arrived at its least distance from the sun about 1 o'clock on the morning of June 10, in heliocentric longitude 244 deg. 35 min., being then separated from him by 76,000,000 miles. It crossed the plain of the earth's orbit from the south to the north side in longitude 279 deg. 1 min. on June 28, in a path inclined 85 deg. 58 min. to the ecliptic. The true orbital motion is direct. Its distance from the earth on Sunday evening was rather over 13.000,000 miles, and a little less than 15,000,000 at 11 o'clock last evening. It is therefore receding slowly from us, as well as from the sun. The apparent length of the tail last night was 70 deg., corresponding to a true length of 16,000.000 miles. The nucleus, which is extremely brilliant, was about 400 miles in diameter. The comet has a very striking and interesting appearance in the telescope ; but it would be diffi cult to describe it without the assistance of a dia gram. It is certainly not the comet of Charles V. (1556), th 6 return of which has been anticipated about this epoch. I subjoin a few places, calculated from my ele ments, which will sufficiently define the track in the heavens during the ensuing week : FOn MEAN MIDNIGHT AT GREENWICH. Right Nortb.

R. HIND. Mr. G. Bishop's Observatory, Regent's-park, July 3. This new visitor, which has taken even astrono mers by surprise, shone with great brilliancy last night, exciting universal admiration. The reason why it was not observed before is that, up to the 30th ult., its distance from the pole was such as to make it set together with the sun ; whereas, from that date, it has approached so near the pole that it cannot set at all. Its size does not at present exceed that of 1838, and it differs from it materially in this respect that its tail is straight instead of being curved. The observations taken by MM. Lepissier and Lcevy on the 30th ult, were as follows : Mean Time, Paris. Right Asc3nsion. Distance from Pole. H. M. H. M. S. DEG.

It is composed as usual of a very bril liant nucleus, a luminous aureola of considerable breadth, a tuft on the side turned towards the sun, and a large tail in the opposite direction, Accord ing to M. Chacornac the tuft is eccentric, and com posed of six curved and radiant branches, each not more than a minute in length ' • they are all curved in the same sense. As might have been expected, the comet gave rise to an animated discussion at yesterday's sitting of the Academy of Sciences. M. Elie de Beaumont read a letter from M. Gold schmidt, the amateur astronomer, in which he stated that the comet was 35 degrees in length, and be tween three and four in breadth, so that it measures 17,000,000 of leagues. M. Babinet remarked that M. Hind's Ephemerides of Charles V.'s comet give it the precise position of the present one. M. Bo mine had predicted its return in 1858, and Mr. Hind admitted that it might return between 1856 and 1860. Considering the imperfect manner in which observations were taken t hree centuries ago, it would surprise no one that a difference of six months should exist between the time of its sp• pearance and the time calculated. If this were so, the present comet was the same that had been ob served in 1556, and caused the abdication of Charles V. It had previously appeared, according to Pingre, in 1261, when it was supposed to announce the death of Pope Urban IV. • and its appearance had been recorded even earlier, in July, 975, by the Chinese. M. Leverrier was not of M Babinet's opinion. Mr. Hind's table showed different posi tions which Charles V.'s comet might occupy in the event of its return, and the question was so unde termined that it was no wonder to find a position in the table answering to that of the present comet. And, indeed, there was one corresponding to the position of the 30th of June ; but the motion of the present comet in the course of 24 hours was so dif ferent from that given in the table, that the identity of the two comets could no longer be admitted. Here the subject dropped.— Galignani's essenger. Letters from the French departments contain fresh details relating to the terrific hailstorm which caused so much damage on the 22d of June. At Touhan, near Lyons, the storm was so intense that roofs of 50 and 60 feet long were stripped off houses, and the largest trees were tern up by the roots. At Saint-Seine and the neighbour hood the hailstones lay so thick on the ground that a trust worthy witness asserts that he saw a bed of hailstones three feet thick on the road between Saint• Seine and Vaux- Saules. All the carriages travelling on the road at that time were overturned. The lightning at the same moment killed several horses in the fields. In the Yonne, on the same day, and at the same hour as in the Cote d'Or, the crops were totally destroyed in the districts of Soigny, Auxerre, Sens, and Tonnerre. The appearance of the country is desolate. Vineyards are deprived of vegetation, gardens are laid waste, and cornfields are ploughed up. The light ning, moreover, killed a number of cattle in that depart ment. In the Nievre the wind and rain destroyed the growing crops, levelled more than 100 houses, and tore up thousands of trees, particularly in the neighbourhood of Cosne. In the Allier three men were killed in the fields. Numerous rabbits and fowls perished in the poultry yards. The corn crops suffered great injury. The loss in that de partment is estimated at above 1,000,000 francs. In the Jura the hailstorm which was experienced on Sunday week laid waste eight communes in the neighbourhood of Cou• liege. In the Marne numerous dwelling houses were stripped of their roofs, church steeples were thrown down, and several persons injured. In the Rhone the commune of Chamelet escaped more serious injury by a heavy fall of rain, which dissipated the hailstorm. As a slight compen sation, the hay crop is described as excellent throughout France. A CREMONE BALLOON FOR THE CONTINENT. — A balloon ascent is, generally speaking, an evening novelty used by managers of public gardens. This usual order of things was broken through yesterday by the Cremorne lessee, who allowed a spirited amateur gentleman to take a private morning pf-rformance on his own account, which though commencing at these beautiful gardens, will pro bably not terminate till he has the opportunity of having an interview with our neighbours across Channel. The arrangements for this trip were not completed till between nine and ten yesterday morning, and therefore the fact of the balloon passing over the metropolis as early as three p.m., is a fact which may be mentioned as reflecting credit upon the London Gas Company, the management of the gardens, and Lythgoe, the aeronaut. The wind has now continued N.W. for some hours, and we may therefore an ticipate that, taking into consideration the speed at which the intrepid voyagers passed over London, they are, some hours since, safely landed on the territory of France. PRUSSIAN MANNERS. —Travelling Englishmen have of late been stigmatised in Prussia somewhat severely in connection with the celebrated " Macdonald affair," and State Procurator Miller was pleased to apply some hard epithets to the class during the recent judicial proceedings; but, judging from the following narrative, taken from the NeumiAmstertlamer liandelsblcat, the Prussians have much need to look at home before they east undeserved asper sions on others :—" A few days since a noble officer of 4 " Prussian Guards was present with a lady in a saloon of a steamboat on the Rhine. A gentleman in civil costume entered, when the officer ordered him in a very rude manner to remove his hat. The gentleman appeared not to hear the demand, when the officer knocked the hat from the gentle man's head. The gentleman immediately called the cap tain of the vessel, and requested him, Recording to his in structions, to put the alleer ashore at the first station they reached. The eat t via hesitated to put his instructions in force in the case of an officer of the Guards, and paid no attention to the demand. As the next station was passed without the officer being set on sly - xe, the gentleman repeated his request ; and as anotdhetr remainstatton was also pissed, and the officer was s t i ill s s e u lf ffe as re thoeon board, board, the gentleman announced h.'m d T e h n e t o f captain the P run:, AlaonnglNelrinrisetfeursse,dt.he ThrreneneffiofeeH,r ohheegn_gzoedlleze him most sev erely for his conduct prince's pardora, upon which he replitendwtahradtshae could punish and ish th a t his future regullost;ations bn n t thatf tthe efuturebe would co atenn't hiliimtilisreYlfprboysPheacvtis'awgotuhled a lesson.

The United States Mail steamship Fulton, Capt. J. A. Wotton, from New York, on the 22d ult., has arrived at Cowes; and gone on to Havre. Her ad vices are three days later than those received by the Australasian. The Fulton brings 150 pdssengers, of whom 13 are for this port, and 137 for Havre. She has no specie. The Herald of the 22d gives the following report of the latest position of affairs. , " The most exciting news we have to record to day is that Vhich reaches us from Harrisburg, to the effect that the gallant Indiana regiment of Colonel Wallace, which has been so active in dispersing the enemy at Romney, has been surrounded at Cumber land, Md., by a force of over 10,000 rebels, com manded, no doubt, by General Joe Johnstone, and all chances of retreat cut off. This disastrous intel ligence reached Harrisburg yesterday, and imme diately a strong force, consisting of Colonel Biddle's rifles and Colonel Simmon's infantry regiment, was ordered to start, with four days' rations, to the assis tance of Colonel Wallace's command. They left last night by way of Hopewell and Bedford, and we must await with anxiety the result of their mission. The regiment of Colonel Wallace is composed of very brave and daring set of fellows, the same who, be fore they left Indianapolis, knelt in front of the State-house and took an oath to `remember Buena Vista,' and there can be very little doubt, we think, that in the present desperate emergency they will make a gallant struggle, whether vanquished or relieved. The anticipated conflict in the neigh bourhood of Washington did not take place yester day as expected, the rebels, in this instance, as in many others, having retired-before the,apprqach.9f the Union army. When General M'Dowell advanced his outposts at daybreak he found that the rebel pickets, which were almost within speaking dis tance on the previous evening, had been called in, and that the rebels had fallen back. It thus became evident that some other design than an attack in the direction of Washington had been decided upon, and accordingly the orders for all the regiments to hold themselves in readiness for an immediate march were countermanded for the time being ; but it appears that the orders to march were again issued to five regiments later in the day, showing that all danger of an attack had not been dissipated by the sudden withdrawal of the rebels. General M'Dowell, meantime, continues to advance his lines. Five thousand of his division moved yesterday from Ball's Cross Roads to the vicinity of Fall's Church, a point about three miles distant from Fairfax Court house, and the same from Vienna. A reconnaissance in the direction of the latter place yesterday after noon proved that there were 2,500 rebels there, and it was thought that if they should be reinforced a battle is inevitable at that point. There appears to be stirring times about Fortress Monroe. The outposts of the Union forces at Hampton and the vicinity were driven in on Wednesday night by a superior force of the rebels, who have been actively extending their lines towards the fortress. A bat tery of five guns, strongly supported with men, has been recently thrown up within four miles of Hamp ton. General Butler has,.however, sent forward a strong detachment, consisting of Colonel Duyree's Zouaves, the third Volunteer Regiment (Colonel Townsend), the Steuben Volunteers, and two pieces of artillery, all under the command of Capt. Smith, of the United States Topographical Engineers, to make a reconnaissance, and it is quite probable that our next news from that quarter vs:11 bring an ac- count of a sharp skirmish. " The rebels have not abandoned the line of the Potomac in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry. They still continue to annoy the Union troops on the other side of the river. Colonel Stone's command, which is now at Poolesville, oppositeLeesburg, is harassed by the fire of the rebels in that neighbourhood. The Union troops return the fire with their rifles across the river, occasionally shooting down the rebel ar tillerists at their posts while loading their guns. Colonel Stone reports that with some artillery he could do good service in dislodging the enemy. "We learn from Missouri that the State troops (rebels), who had been concentrated in large force at Independence, had moved to Lexington, where it is thought they intend to make a decided stand against the Union army of General Lyon." Six rebel companies, numbering nearly 500 men, had left New Orleans for the seat of War in Vir ginia. The Herald of the 21st says,— "It seems evident from the information which reached us last night—the particulars of which we publish to-day—that the theatre of the first grand battle is to be in the vicinity of Washington, and in all probability before many hours have passed over a collision between a large force of the union and the rebel armies, at some point between the banks of the Potomac and Manassas Junction, will make a fearful opening of the campaign. It is stated tbat an advance movement of the entire force under General M'Dowell took place yesterday afternoon. The Bth New York Regiment started with two days' rations, and without knapsacks, towards Fair fax Courthouse; several other regiments and all the cavalry stationed in that locality will follow them. It is certain that the rebels were advancing from Manassas Junction and Fairfax Court-house in the direction of the lines of the Union troops on Arlington Heights, and that they were so close yesterday that the pickets of both armies were within speaking distance. General IWDowell has made an Inspection of his division, and returned to his headquarters at the Heights. He reports every thing ready for an attack, and the officers and men anxiously awaiting it. The idea prevails that the leaders, finding delay no longer possible, design to provoke a conflict with the army of the Union, and thus, by retiring from the field at an oppor tune moment, draw them into a succession of ambuscades of masked batteries, which they have located along the line from Manassas Junction to Fairfax , Court-house. The War Department, however, is preparing for the emergency, not only by advancing the troops into Virginia, but by strengthening the forces around Washington. A body o f not less than 5,000 meln passed through Baltimore yesterday for the capi s o ta f They comprised the 14th and 18th Regimentt New York Volunt eers, the 4th Maine Regimen, the 2d Rhode Island Regiment, and one regiment of the Scott Life Guard. A steamer had also arrived at Baltimore from Fortress Monroe, with 90 tons of shells, which were landed at Fort M‘Henry. "It is evident that the rebels are still lingering around Harper's Ferry, for some purpose or the other. Their picketErshow themselves occasionally, and sometimes fire across the river to the Maryland shore at the Union troops there. It is reported that a rebel camp is located within two miles of the river, at Falling Water. General Cadwallader still re mains at Williamsport, with 6,000 men. There appears to be some doubt as to the precise locality at which the recent conflict at Piedmont, 'just con firmed by news received at the War Department, took place. It has been stated that the bridge over the New-creek, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, has been guarded for some time past by Captain Resley and some 40 or 50 men from Cumberland. This bridge is seven miles south of Piedmont, which is a little village in Hampshire county, on the north branch of the Potomac, where the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company had several machine shops. It appears that Captain Resley was advised about 10 days ago that a rebel force was about to attack the bridge, and he immediately applied to Colonel Wallace, of the Indiana Zouaves, then stationed at Cumberland, for assistance. The Zouss.' : were sent down, but no attack being made, ColOn l Wallace finally marched his troops to Rom ey, wh persed the rebels. From thesi is ' sumed v i llottr creiik7,; e he a , ,ly at that the recent fight did not tai pa e . de. the village of Piedmont. but at 'New ,f, I i sa y s g seven miles distant. A despatch from Gra re b e ls destroyed there was no battle, b u t that the ~ t he bridge and some telegraph poles. le I ____ sundries. The journals of Berlin speak of a conflict wh ich has arisen at Cons tantinople between Count Goltz,lNliker of Prussia, and Sir H. Buhl , er, and even intimate that the former may be recalled. But the Rrtnetz-Zeilung, which is in a position to be well informed on the matter, states that there will be no recall, and that the conflict referred to is purely personal, and has nothing whatever to do with the political questions which ecmpy European diplomatists in the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

The Bahianos seem to be always dissatisfied . with the President elect. The weather had been • wet and favourable for the interior. Nearly all who had fled to the seaboard during the famine of .last year had re turned to their homes, and things were looking up again with , prospects of good crops next season. Exchange closed flat on the llthult. at 263 d. Pur chases of cotton for home consumption had been effected at 9,000 per atroba. No sales of hides had transpired - during the week prior to the departure of this mail. The last prices were 200 rs. per lb. for dry salted, and 230 rs. for dry. There was no coffee in the market. Last sales were 5,100 per ar robe for Naiareths, 5,150r5. to 5,200r5. for Valenta, and 5,300 to 5,350 for Maragogipe.

The Government had contracted with Messrs. H. Green and Co., of London, to build some iron bridges across the rivers to connect the different parts of the city of Recife. Entries of sugar had been very small, in consequence of heavy rains, barely reaching 38,964 bags during the month. The advices received by the Oneida on her outward voyage being discouraging, operations for Europe were confined to 'some ballasts for cot ton vessels, and quotations were nominal ; best whites, 4,000 to 4,200 ; selected yellows, 2,400 to 2,500 ; American muscovadoes, 2,000 to 2,300 ; Chan nel,. do., 1,950 to 2,000 ; Paraibas, 2,000 ; Maceios, 2,200. The American advices caused great excite- merit in the ootton-market, but the high rates asked by holders prevented much business. The only sale of outport cotton reported was 1,600 bags average Maceio at 9,000. Nothing doing in hides, and quotations were nominal at 190 rs. to 200 rs. per !b.

BRISTOL AND EXETER. A special meeting of this company was held yes terday at Bristol for the purpose of considering a bill now before Parliament for making a railway from Chard to Taunton. Mr. J. W. BULLER, M.P., presided. He stated that the line in question was to connect the town of Chard with the South-Western and the Bristol and Ex eter Railways, and that the guarantee of the Bristol and Exeter Company was 55 per cent. of the gross receipts of the proposed line, or a mini mum rental of £4,750 per annum.

[ The Court of Appeal gave judgment in the Bonaparte case on Monday. It is perhaps unnecessary to say that the appeal was dismissed, and the judgment given against M. Bonaparte and his mother, and in favour of Prince Napoleon. The Court below had decided the case in the same way, but merely on the ground that, having been once judged (by the conseil de famille): the chose jug ec could not be interfered with ; but the Court of Appeal went a step further, laying down that there was no marriage in point of law, and that even if it had been valid the impe rial decrees of 1805 dissolving it were perfectly valid. There is no doubt but that the case will come before tho Court of Cessation, when it will be amusing to witness the tarningi and twistings of M. Dupin, to confirm a ruling entirely op posed to the principles he has over and over again laid down. lam bound to add that the case does not seem to k have excited the slightest interest among the public. - • -- .-..._,_ ____- - .--;....--.-,--,-- - ----,lrt. - -- --- - .mew_ --- . ---- ---------. —__ ,•; ...... */ '.-- ....../. , A.* ~' .‘.46.41 --(:':-------)1'.7:..t. . ~.., _..L.,...,.....: ......_ _ t,...., 4 (s* - ' ''',',''.':',.. i4 , ,' , ,k:) Li - - -- -A'i te - - . art • f .-,... . . - • . _, ~,..,,,i , „,\„,,,4 0„, ,1, ......- a UILD HALL, Jun' 2, 1861.—The Com- 4 I l it tier 4.
