I do not say France would do this, but we were told last
summer by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that we were
within a few hours of war. The same thing has happened
once or twice before and may happen again, and this great
and rich country ought to leave nothing to chance. We
must either arrange with France to keep up a moderate
navy, or we must keep up a well-manned and well-dis-
ciplined Channel fleet; and this may be done at a very
moderate expense. At last we have a Channel squadron of
six sail of the line, but that is not sufficient; we ought to
have ten sail of the line, manned by first-rate seamen—
there ought not to be a landsman amongst them. Only 100
marines should be embarked in each ship, and their number
filled up with able seamen.
Our marines should be Increased 5,000 men (which I see
we are about to do), and all our seaport towns garrisoned
by them. This I pointed out years ago. We ought always
to have ten sail of the line in reserve, and ready, so that in
the event of war, or armament, the Channel fleet should
turn over one watch to the reserve, fill both up with officers,
marines, and boys, call out the coast volunteers for lands-
men, and we should have 20 sail of the line better manned
than the generality of our ships last war.
That is not all; we have, or will soon have 10,000 coast
guardsmen. They are for the protection of the revenue, and
must not be disturbed unless in case of emergency. They
are all told off and ready to be put on board a ship; but we
have no ships to receive them, for I do not call the block-
ships fit for that purpose. Three of them are tolerable, but
the rest are worse than useless.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.- 1
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 willcease. 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, mid 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-
