A SILVEI? COIN IN THE
.TIIROAT.

On Monday, Mr. J. P. Cole, a professor of music,
at Arundel, was playing with a fourpenny-piece, by
jerking it out of his hand into his mouth, when by
some accident it was drawn into the windpipe. He
endeavoured by various means to remove the coin,
but unsuccessfully, and was naturally alarmed at
the circumstance. Immediately he sought a neigh-
bouring surgeon, who administered an emetic,. but
this. failed' in removing it, and Mr. Cole was
appalled by being told " that nothing more could
be done," and it was probable that mortification
would ensue. So alarmed was he that he wrote to
his friends to tell them of the unhappy accidott
and its anticipated results. It appeared that the
fourpenny piece had become wedged in edgeways,
and his breathing was not interrupted, further
than it produced a kind of wheezing noise; similar
to that in an asthmatical person. After trying
every means to move the impediments during
the night, Mr. Cole hastened to Chichester
the next- morning, where he was called profes-
sionally ; but being unable, from pain and
natural anxiety, to attend to his duties, he called
at the surgery of Mr. C. S. Jones, who, by
auscultation, could' easily detect the coin lying at
the bottom of the windpipe. The same sad tale
was told him as before, and that mortification would.
probably set in in two days. The only chance was
to have some chloroform administered, and. endea-
vour to remove it by an external operation. This
was, indeed, sad news for a young gentleman in the
prime of life. But previous to his leaving Arundel
a lady.had reminded Mr. Cole of a similar accident
occurring to Mr. Brunel, the great engineer, who,
as our readers will recollect, had the misfortune to
get a half-sovereign in his windpipe, in playing with
his children. The way in which that was removed
was, by placing that gentleman on his head and giv-
in6 a violent blow at his back. Mr. Cole mentioned
this circumstance to Mr. Jones and.. his assistant,
but both were somewhat doubtful of such an experi-
ment. However, as a drowningman will catch at a
straw, so Mr. Cole insisted that this singular plan of
removing the imprisoned coin should be tried. A
cushion was placed on the floor, his legs were raisedup
into the air, and a violent blow given on the back;
immediately Mr. Cole shouted " Here it is." And true
enough the fourpenny-piece had fallen from his
mouth upon the floor. To describe the feelings of
the patient at this moment, when he was probably
snatched from the hands of death, would be im-
possible. The medical gentlemen were equally
delighted at the result of this most remarkable
operation ; and we believe that the cushion, on
which Mr. Cole had placed his head, was seized
and thrown up into the air, and three hearty and
joyful cheers were instinctively. given at such a
happy termination of what promised to be a most
melancholy misfortune.— West Sussex Gazette.

NEW LIFEBOATS.

Yesterday some interesting and satisfactory trials
were made in Regent's-canal dock, Limehouse, with
four new lifeboats, which the Royal National Life-
boat Institution is about to send to Cromer and
Bacton, Norfolk ; Fraserburgh, in Scotland ; and
to Newcastle, on the Irish coast. The experiments
were witnessed by Mr. T. Chapman, deputy-chair-
man of the society ; Capt. Perrett, Mr. J. Chap-
man, Mr. Peake, designer of the boats ; Captain
Ward, R.N., inspector of lifeboats to the institu-
tion ; Messrs. Forrest, builders of the boats ; Mr.
Lewis, secretary to the society ; and a large
number of other persons. The boats are on
the plan of those now adopted and success•
fully used by the National Lifeboat Society.
They were turned over by means of some tack-
ling attached to a crane. After having been turned
keel up they at once recovered their proper posi-
tion, and freed themselves of the water they thus
shipped in less than 25 seconds. These wonderful
qualities of the boats excited general satisfaction
and applause. So great was the stability of one of
the lifeboats that it required 34 men on one gunwale
to bring her to the water's edge. Hardly any water
can remain in these boats when there are 30 or 40
persons on board, as it is self-ejected. On the whole
nothing could have been more satisfactory than this
trial, reflecting much credit on the designer of the
boats and their builders. One boat was called the
Havelock, in memory of the late distinguished soldier
of that name. She is to be stationed at Fraserburgh,
where Sir Henry's name was much cherished.
The cost of this boat is the generous gift of a resi-
dent of Bath. In the noble efforts which the
National Lifeboat Institution is now making to sup-
ply exposed points with lifeboats of this descrip-
tion, let us expres§ an earnest hope that the efforts
of the society will be cordially seconded by the
pecuniary support of the public. The society has
now nearly 80 lifeboats under its management, and
it appears from Parliamentary returns that its life-
boats, with those of local parties, rescued 398 per-
sons during the past year from a watery grave.
The same documents tell us, however, that during
the same period, nearly 600 poor creatures lost their
lives from wrecks around our coasts ; and who can
tell how many of them might have been preserved
to their families and country if a sufficient number
of lifeboats had been in the localities of the
casualties !

CITY SEWERS COMMISSION.

The Commissioners assembled yesterday in Guild-
hall for the despatch of business, Deputy CHRISTIE
in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN put in a letter from Mr. Geo.
A. H. Capes, complaining of the injurious state of
the upper gully in Philpot-lane, the stench from
which was not only a great nuisance, but dangerous
to health.

The Court immediately agreed to a motion direct-
ing that all that was necessary should be done for
trying the experiment with charcoal as suggested
by the medical officer of health, by carrying a pipe
up against the house of Mr. Capes, with his con-
sent, under the direction of the surveyor.
-Dr. /MUT:BY (the mediCal effieer of healthy
laid his weekly report, from which the following
are extracts, before the court :—" The Inspectors'
returns relate to 148 houses that have been
inspected during the week, of which number
57 were common lodging-houses, and I beg to
submit a list of 20 places that require the
orders of the Commission for Sanitary. Improve-
ment in various particulars. I also submit a list
of places that require further proceedings on
account of orders already issued but not yet com-
plied with. The mortality returns for the week'
were of an average description. As usual at this
season of the year, the number of deaths is increas-
ing from the low summer average to the higher
proportion of autumn. In the course of the last
three weeks the weekly returns have progressed
from 42 to 56, and from that to 58, which is near
to • the average for this season of the year. Of
this number 21 were among children under
10 years of age. Among the principal causes of
death are 5 returns from fever, 4 from scarlatina,
2 from whooping-cough, and 2 from measles, and
there was one death from diarrhcea. The principal
causes of death were consumption, bronchitis, and

THE MHOW FIELD FORCE.

At the date of our last General Roberts had
driven Tantia Topee, with the last fragments of the
Gwalior Contingent, across the Chumbul. He nar-
rowly escaped Brigadier Parke, who had taken up
the pursuit, by the sudden rising of the river, and
got off from Col. Lockhart before his force could
make up with him. He was now without guns or
stores of any kind, wandering about in Central
India environed with, enemies, and in as hopeless a
plight as well could be. Suddenly he made a dash
on the large walled town of Jahlra Puttun, and
captured it on the 29th ult. The chief did his ut-
termost to resist, and when:unable to maintain him-
self after his troops joined the enemy, escaped to
our camp. A ransom of £lOO,OOO to" protect them
from plunder was exacted from the merchants and
L bankers, and forty new brass guns were taken pos.
' session of. The Nana Sahib was proclaimed
governor of the country. An attempt was made
to get possession of Ga,grone, a strong fort about
two miles distant, when the governor shut his
gates and bid them defiance. On the approach of
our troops, Tantia Topee now judged it expedient
to decamp, taking with him the artillery and trea- 1
sure he had just secured. He was attacked on the
15th betwixt Rhagur and Beora by the Mhow
Field Force under Gen. Michel, and defeated, and his
troops dispersed, with the loss of 27 of his guns.
The rebels made a running fight of it. Their artil-
lery stood at two points successively, without hap-
pily doing us any injury. It is remarked in truth
as marvellous that the shower of balls which these
guns threw into the advancing column when de-
ploying produced no casualties. The impetus of
our attack carried all before it, the enemy losing 27
guns abandoned at intervals. The cavalry, headed
by Sir Wm. Gordon, of the 17th Lancers, made
tremendous havoc amongst the fugitives. 300 dead
were left upon the field. On our part we had
three men wounded. Lieutenant G. M. Shaw, of
the 3d Light Cavalry, struck by the sun during the
pursuit, fell down dead, and this is the sole casualty
we have to deplore.
The following congratulatory order was issued :
" Field Force Orders, Sept. 15, 1858. The
Major-General congratulates the troops on the bril-
liant result of this day's operations against the
enemyin the plains east of Rajghur—a success
achieved• by their steady gallantry and endurance.
The result has been the capture of 30 guns, and all
their material, with severe loss to the enemy, and
their utter dispersion.

Assistant Adjutant-General."

ROHILCUND.

The neighbourhood of Wareldy having been for
some time troubled with a body of rebels, supposed
about 1,000 strong, with some guns, arrangements
were made to dispose of them. On the 28th they
attacked a party of our people engaged in fortifying
a police station. We were only able to act on the
defensive, when the assailants were driven off with
the loss of some thirty of their number. The force
being reinforced on the 30th of August, marched
out to meet the enemy. It consisted of
230 of the 2d Punjaub Light Cavalry, 150 of the
17th, and 100 of the 24th Punjaub Infantry, 100 of
the Kumaon levy. The enemy opened with round
shot and grape, and we had no guns to reply. Our
men were ordered to advance rapidly without at-
tempting to fire, and when within 30 yards they
charged with a wild hurrah, carrying everything
before them. The artillerymen were cut down at
their guns, which in a moment changed hands ;
they were four in number, excellent brass 9-poun-
ders. The cavalry decamped at once, the others,
unable to escape with sufficient speed, suffered ter-
ribly, and 300 dead were counted on the field. We
had two killed and 28 wounded, and Capt. Browne,
the commander of the fort, lost an arm. We cap-
tured three elephants, and about 50 bullocks and

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 agri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we
are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely
from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can
proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those
who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle
will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.

THE NAVY:

The Simoom steam troopship is daily expected at
Spithead with a large. number of invalids from
cutter. The Pique, 40, 'Capt. Sir F. Nicholson, and
the Nankin,- 50, --Commodore the Hon. Keith
Stewart, are also shortly expected, with a consider-
able number of invalids from the China-and India
stations. • The allowance to soldiers' wives serving
in India of.6d. per day, and.of 2d. per day for earl}
child, having been ordered to cease as soon as their
husbands land in England, instructions have been
issued that immediate inforthation is to be for-
warded to them of their husbands' arrival, in order
that - they may at. once apply to the paymasters of
their respective localities for railway transit and
sustenance money to enable them to join their hus-
bands at the rnvilid-Depot, Chatham, or the regi-
mental depot, as the case may be.
The Lords of the Admiralty have it in contem-
plation to effect a very considerable 'augmentation
in the Coastguard. Twenty ships of war now in
commission are ordered home from foreign stations,
and a very considerable portion of their crews,
numbering upwards of. 4,000 men, will be em-

played in this service.
The scre' steam storeship Himalaya, Captain
Seacombe, after receiving extensive repairs in Keyl
ham steam yard,-has been in -the Channel to try
her engines. She ran from the Plymouth Break-
water to the Eddystone, 101 nautical miles, in 41
minutes 10 seconds, and back against a very strong
wind, in 56 minutes. The Himalaya is now fitted
with Griffith's screw propeller, which is said to
cause no vibration of the ship even when going at
full speed.
The ceremony of launching the screw steamship
Edgar, 91, at Woolwich, which was inadvertently
stated to have been appointed for the 31st instant,
will take place on Saturday next, the 23d instant.
The principal entrance -to the dockyard will be
thrown open to visitors indiscriminately about 1
o'clock on the day of the launch.

Her Majesty's screw steam gunboats of 60-horse
power each, the Biter and the Leveret, arrived at
Woolwich yesterday to be overhauled and undergo
repairs in boilers and machinery.
The freight-ship Lansdowne yesterday shipped
ammunition from Woolwich, and sailed with a cargo
of war stores for Sydney.
The heavy brass gun captured in China, and re-
cently brought to England by, her Majesty's 40-
gunship Sybille, Commodore the Hon. C. G. J. B.
Elliot, was yesterday removed from Woolwich
Arsenal for conveyance to Windsor.
The following appointments have been made at

NEW LIFEBOATS.

Yesterday some interesting and satisfactory trials
were made in Regent's-canal dock, Limehouse, with
four new lifeboats, which the Royal National Life-
boat Institution is about to send to Cromer and
Bacton, Norfolk ; Fraserburgh, in Scotland ; and
to Newcastle, on the Irish coast. The experiments
were witnessed by Mr. T. Chapman, deputy-chair-
man of the society ; Capt. Perrett, Mr. J. Chap-
man' Mr. Peake, designer of the boats • Captain
Ward, R.N., inspector of lifeboats to the institur
tion ; Messrs.. Forrest, builders of the boats • Mr.
Lewis, secretary to the society ; and a:large
number of other persons. The boats are on
the plan of those now adopted and success.
fully used by the National Lifeboat Society.
They were turned over by means of some tack-
ling attached to a crane. After having been turned
keel up they at once recovered their proper posi-
tion, and freed themselves of the water they thus
shipped in less than 25 seconds. These wonderful
qualities of the boats excited general satisfaction
and applause. So great was the stability of one of
the lifeboats that it required 34 men on one gunwale
to bring her to the water's edge. Hardly any water
can remain in these boats when there are 30 or 40
persons on board, as it is self-ejected. On the whole
nothing could have been more satisfactory than this
trial, reflecting much credit on the designer of the
boats and their builders. One boat was called the
Havelock, in memory of the late distinguished soldier
of that name. She is to be stationed at Fraserburgh,
where Sir Henry's name was much cherished.
The cost of this boat is the generous gift of a resi-
dent of Bath. In the noble efforts which the
National Lifeboat Institution isnow making to sup-
ply exposed points with lifeboats of this descrip-
tion, let us express an earnest hope that the efforts
of the society will be cordially seconded by the
pecuniary support of the public. The society has
now nearly 80 lifeboats under its management, and
it appears from Parliamentary returns that its life-
boats, with those of local parties, rescued 398 per-
sons during the past year from a watery grave.
The same documents tell us, however, that during
the same period, nearly 600 poor creatures lost their
lives from wrecks around our coasts ; and who can
tell how many of them might have been preserved
to their families and country if a sufficient number
of lifeboats had been in the localities of the
casualties !

That he has, obedient to the Royal wish and in
consideration of the existing circumstances, and the

Finally, the Prince Regent promises to commu-
nicate to both Chambers the documents relating to

SC-TILLERS' RACE FOR £2O:

Yesterday a spirited scullers' contest took place between
W. Wallenger, of St. Paul's-wharf, and D. Gilham, of
Blackfriars, for £2O. The course selected was that now ren-
dered. so celebrated amongst scullers,viz., from Putney to the
Railway Bridge at Barnes. The usual preliminaries having
been completed, the men took their respective stations.
Wallenger on the Middlesex, and Gilham on she Surrey side
of the river. A beautiful start was effected, and for
nearly three-quarters of a mile both men rowed scull and
scull. At Craven-point, however, Wallenger seemed to
have the race entirely in his own hand ; and here Gilham,
who seemed thoroughly exhausted, pushed strongly with
his right hand, and rowed deliberately upon his opponent's
quarter. Wallenger in an instant saw the manoeuvre, and
in the cleverest manner imaginable succeeded in defeat-
ing the unfair proceeding by instantly dropping astern. The
referee immediately gave his decision in favour of Wallen-
ger, but notwithstanding this, the whole of the distance was
rowed, and Wallenger came in an easy winner by some
fifty lengths. _ _

Wallenger, who was the favourite at starting, Was
coached up by Robert Bain, of Lambeth.

DOG-FIGHTING.—A WARNING TO THE " FANCT."
—Upwards ef a dozen persons, notorious in Liverpool as
prominent members of the world known as the " fancy,"
were charged at the police court of that town on Tues-
day with being concerned in the brutal and illegal sport
of dog-fighting. Inspector Horne said that on Monday night
he and seven officers went into a beer-house in Peter-street
(one of the worst streets in the town), kept by a man named
vans,9no of the prisoners. They gained admittance by a side
door (the front one being fastened), and in spite of the oppo-
sition of a voluble virago, they found about 40 persons in a
room upstairs. In this room was a ring, with raised seats
rouad it. and in the ring were two fierce bulldogs fighting,
with Evans, and another of the prisoners, named Glow;
trying to separate them, by biting their rags. .

The dogs
which were exhibited in curt, sever injured were of the
fiercest breed of English bulldogs. 'he pritionen all

obituary yesterday, was eldest son of the late
General Sir George Henry Berkeley, K.C.8., and
was born the 10th of October, 1818. He entered
the army. in May, 1836. The deceased colonel
served as military secretary to his father, Lieut.-

operations against the Caffres, in 1847. He also
served in:the Eastern campaign of 1854 and 1855,
and was severely wounded at the battle of the
Alma. Colonel Berkeley, in consequence, returned
home invalided. The gallant deceased exchanged

Scots Fusilier Guards to the 32d Regiment in
July, 1857, and at once proceeded to India.to join
the head-quarters of his regiment, of which he
succeeded to the chief command on the promotion
of Major-General Sir John E. W. Inglis, the hero
of Lucknow. It was while serving with his gal-
lant corps- in India that he contracted his fatal
illness. He died on the 25th ult., on board the
Simla, off the Island of-Socotra. He received the

CITY SEWERS COMMISSION.

The Commissioners assembled yesterday in Guild-
hall for the despatch of business, Deputy CHRISTIE
in the chair.

The • CHAIRMAN put in a letter from Mr. Geo.
A. H. Capes, complaining of the injurious state of
the upper gully in Philpot-lane, the stench from
which was not only a great nuisance, but dangerous
to health.

The Court immediately agreed to a motion direct-
ing, that all that was necessary should be done for
trying the experiment with charcoal as suggested
by the medical officer of health, by carrying a pipe
up against the house of Mr. Capes, with his con-
sent, under the direction of the-surveyor.
Dr. LETHEBY (the medical officer of health)
laid his weekly report, from which the following
are extracts, before the court :—" The Inspectors
returns relate to 148 houses that have been
inspected during the week, of which number
57 were common lodging-houses, and I beg to
submit a list of 20 places that require the
orders of the Commission for Sanitary Improve-
ment in various particulars. I also submit a list
of places that require further proceedings on
account of orders already issued but not yet com-
plied with. The mortality returns for the week
were of an average description. As usual at this
season of the year, the number of deaths is increas-
ing from the low summer average to the higher
proportion of autumn. In the course of the last
three weeks the weekly returns have progressed
from 42 to 56, and from that to 58, which is near
to the average for this season of the year. Of
this number 21 were among children under
10 years of age. Among the principal causes of
death are 5 returns from fever, 4 from scarlatina,
2 from whooping-cough, and 2 from measles, and
there was one death from diarrhoea. The principal
causes of death were consumption, bronchitis, and
pneumonia.
Commissioners wore for a considerable time
The
engaged in discussing the merits of a petition re-
lating to the necessity of making improvements in
a narrow passage in the neighbourhood of Thames-
street, through which passage vast numbers of per-
sons were stated to come and go during the most
busy hours of the day. It was determined that a
view of the locality should take place forthwith-

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 thanl2 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, Arm., the animals which
carried 'off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we
are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely
from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can
proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those
who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle
will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.
