THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.-

Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts
a "corning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since,
, gentleman wrote, statinc, that he had a horse which was a
therfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get
fe,rmlimal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some
horley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The
;erne rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had
tualped no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
(mai shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which
:tded off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
aP,.food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we

CHARLES HENRY LIDDERDALE, Actuary.

LEEDS, TUESDAY EVENING.
Her Majesty and the royal family reached this
place at a quarter-past six o'clock, and their recep-
tion, we need scarcely say, was of the most enthu-
siastic and gratifying character. The journey of
nearly 300 miles from Gosport. was so admirably
performed throughout as to leave scarcely any fact
worth recording save the remarkable and gratifying
proof the royal progress afforded of the accuracy
with which the network of railways, now intersect-
ing every part of this country, can be traversed at
any moment when circumstances may require it.
The Mayor, with the chief members of the cor-
poration, met her Majesty upon her arrival. A
royal salute was fired from a battery of artillery at
the station, under Lieutenant-Colonel Kennedy,
and the guard of honour was formed of the 22nd
Regiment from Manchester.
Before leaving the station her Majesty caused to
be conveyed to the directors of the Great Northern
railway her thanks for the great attention which
had been shown to her comfort and convenience on
the journey. The railway throughout, with scarcely
an exception, was certainly in capital condition,
and the smooth and easy passage of the train, at
rates of very high speed; reflects great credit upon
the skill and watchfulness of -Mr. Brydon, resident
engineer of the company, who himself was among
the officers accompanying the train.
The general direction of_the journey was super-
intended by Mr. Seymour Clarke, who accompanied
her Majesty to-day from Gosport to Leeds, and
will go forward to-morrow with the .regal party to
Banchory, on her further progress northward.
Immediately after the arrival her Majesty pro-
ceeds to Woodsley-house, the residence of the
Mayor, which has been entirely given up by Mr.
Fairbairn for the use of her ;Majesty- during her
brief stay in Leeds. This house is situated in the
suburbs, on a gently. rising eminence overlooking
the town. The exterior is handsome though unpre-
tending looking in all, save the very massive and
richly decorated cast-iron gates which open on a
short carriage way to the entrance. It is quite a
sight to see the reverential interest with which
this house is now regarded. Hundreds of the good
folks of Leeds remain outside it all day long, and
happy are those who can jam their heads between
the open work of the iron gates aforesaid; and so
gaze upon the gravel walk beyond. Had it been
the home of her Majesty from infancy it could not
excite a deeper interest than now apparently
attaches to it, even before she has as much as seen
the spot. In the mind's eye of the Leeds populace
we are surethat Buckingham Palace has become a
place of little import when compared with Woods-
ley-house.
Inside, however, for its size the house is one of
the most complete and richly decorated mansions in
this part of the kingdom. The whole building
was redecorated last winter, and it is evident at
a glance that money has been lavished upon it with
an unsparing hand. The dining-room is one of the
most perfect little bijous in the Italian style we
have seen. In the drawing-room one is at a loss
which most to admire, the magnificence of the
details or the perfect harmony and good taste of
the whole. The vestibule and hall, toe, are ex-
ceedingly well-proportioned, furnished with the
most excellent taste, and adorned with some noble
specimens of the English school of painting. Cer-
tainly neither at Stoneleigh, Abbey, nor even at
Worsley-hall were the preparations at all compara-
ble to those which have evidently been made for
her Majesty at Woodsley-house. The grounds
round the house are varied and beautiful, and in
the most exquisite order. In rear of the house the
guard of honour will occupy tents on an open space
of ground.
One of the most interesting of the many inci-
dents which will occur in her Majesty's route to the
Town-hall is her inspection of some 18,000 children
of the Free and Sunday Schools on Woodhouse
Moor. This monster gathering of juveniles will of
course welcome her with " God save the Queen,"
and signal boards will be worked so as to insure
good time throughout the entire mass. The effect
is likely to be very fine. In our yesterday's fin-
pression we gave a brief and necessarily hasty ac-
count of the Town-hall as it appeared from a cur-
sory view. We now give it, with its chief dimen-
sions, in more particular detail and more worthy of
the noble building.
The whole hall covers an area, of some 17,000
square yards, with a fine open space in front and
sides. The site was purchased for £9,000, and
though at first rather low in isolation to other parts
of the town, the situation being very central, the
difficulty of level was soon got rid of by throwing
up the platform or mound of earth on which the
hall now stands.
The external form of the edifice is that of a paral-
lelogram, being 250 feet long by 200 feet in breadth,
and its general appearance, from the approach to
the main front, is imposing in the extreme. Stand-
ing on an elevated platform, it is surrounded by
Corinthian columns and pilasters, supporting rich
entablature and balustrade, altogether about 70 feet
in height. The large hall, which is the chief fea-
ture of the building, rises out of the centre of the
quadrangle to ' the height of 92 feet from the
ground, and at each of the four corners is an orna-
mental turret, 12 feet square by 106 in height, the
four containing the smoke and ventilating flues
connected with the various courts and rooms.
The south, or principal facade, is approached by a
handsome flight of 20 steps, 110 feet in length, and
has a deeply recessed portico of 12 columns, 10 of
them being in front, and two recessed. This cannot
fail to command attention and admiration by its
grandeur and the harmony of its composition. In
the centre of this •facade, and adjoining the south
end of the large hall, rises the dome, which will,
when completed, be 225 feet in height. That part
of it immediately in sight above the roof is com-
posed of a square die, ornamented with panels and
mouldings, upon which rest 20 Corinthian columns,
also forming a square, with entablature and balus-
trade complete, having a corresponding number of
pilasters • behind the columns, ' forming the inner
wall. This portion forms the belfry and is as high,
as it is intended to be carried until after the meet-
ing of the British Association, when'the works will
be resumed and carried about 80 feet higher, and
will then contain a clock, now being made by Dent,
to have four illuminated dials, 13 feet in diameter.
Above this commences the dome proper, which will
be covered.with lead and surmounted by a stone
lantern finial.
The two. sides and north end of the'building are
somewhat similar to the south front, excepting that
the columns and pilasters which surround them are
near to the walls, and'the inter-columns, or spaces
between them, have two tiers of circular-headed
-windows.

There are several entrances to the building on 1
each side, and at the north end ; but the principal
entrance is under the south portico, and consists of
a large archway, 32 feet high by 21 feet wide. 'The
lower part contains three splendid doors, composed
of highly ornamented wrought and cast iron work,
glazed. The tympanum or crown of the arch has
been filled with an emblematic group of figures, and
the panels are elaborately carved. The group placed
immediately over the three doors leading to the
vestibule represents Leeds in its commercial and
industrial character, fostering, and encouraging the
arts and) sciences. The central figure, which is
almost colossal, is that of a female, having in the
outstretched right hand a; wreath, and in the left
the distaff. On the right is a personification of Poetry
and Music; with the lyre and pipe, a faun's head and
wreath of flowers in the background, and also a
figureoflndustrylooking towards the principalfigure,
and holding in her hands samples of textile fabrics.
Industry rg represented as seated on a bale of goods
and resting her arm on an anvil, surrounded byvarious
implements of trade. On the left are also two
figures—one representing the Fine Arts and the
other Science, each of which is appropriately typi-
fied. The'panels forming the architrave to the arch
and spanning the group are tastefully carved with
various devices, selected from the arms of the town,
with scroll ornaments, &c. The centre panel con-
tains the scales of justice, surrounded with palm
branches. The large panels on each side of the
entrance doorways are filled in with bold and
classic scrolls and foliage, in the centre of each of
which is a child bearing the fleece, having beneath
the fasces and other emblems of Power and Justice,
and above the caduceus of Mercury.
The interior of the building is characterised by
almost unequalled adaptation to the various muni-
cipal and ;judicial purposes it is intended to sub-
serve, 'besides which it is in several important
portions marked by ornamentation of the highest
style of excellence. The principal entrance opens
into a. vestibule of very fine proportions, with a
domed ceiling, supported by four arches an cifluted
pilasters of the composite order, the apartment
