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." Re tried all kinds of things to get
the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some
of Thoi•ley's food; and he says t'ie effect was wonderful. The
horse rapidly grew fat, and ,in the eours&of a few weeks had
gained no less than I'2 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
cultural shows at Birmingham; Cardiff, ac.,•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 7.,Teat 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

THE W.EATHER A:YD TRY PARKS.

The thermometer during Tuesday night, in the
shade, at the. Royal Humane Society's Receiving-
house, Hyde-park, was as low as 221 deg., being
81 deg. below freezing point. Yesterday. morning
the glass registered 27 deg., and at noon it did not
exceed 30 deg. Last evening at six o'clock the
mercury had. fallen •to 28, being 4 deg. below
freezing point. The barometer had changed during
the day from 30.11 to 29.84, and last evening was
rapidly falling. The'Wind in the 'early partof the
day was principally south-east, but towards the
evening it suddenly chopped round to north-east
by east..
The ice in the different royal parks is reported by
the Royal Humane Society'S superintendent (Mr.
Williams) to be from two to three inches in thick-
ness and in good condition.
The Serpentine river, in Hydepark, had its bank
crowded during the day with carriages, containing
numbers of the nobility and gentry, who had at-
tended to witness the evolution of the skaters, who
numbered about 2,000. Nothing deserving 9f any
,particular mention took place on this river,
with the exception of what is termed " an
express train match,'" which took place- between
eight gentlemen, four on each side, and the
manner they shot over the ice, from the Albert
bridge almost to the Kensington-gardens bridge,
Was such as to astonish every beholder, the whole
being performed in two or three minutes. No im-
mersions took place, but several persons were se-
riously hurt by falling on the ice. Several mem-
bers of the Skating Club also disported themselves
upon this river, any it sewn o'clock last night
there were several upon the ice with lighted flam-
beaux in their-hands.

The Long Water in Kensington-gardens was
patronised by about 800 sliders and -skaters; in-
cludingimany members of the Skating Club. For-
tunately no accident beyond a few falls took place,
not of a very serious nature.
The ice on, the Round Pond in several places
was broken daring the day, owing to so many as
400 persons venturing omit, but no accident hap-
pened beyond a few cut heads.
In St: James's-park several hundred boys amused
then's-elves upon the ice, and several immersions
took place, unattended by fatal consequences.
In the Regent's-park there were about 1,500
sliders and skaters upon the ice, but no accident
-worthy of recording took place during the day.
The Victoria-park and. Battersea-park were both
well patronised by, skaters -and sliders. A gentle-
man fell upon •the ice and• broke his leg.
In the event of the frost continuing several im-
portint • skating matches will take place on. the
Serpentine, as well as some great pyrotechnic dis-
plays, Mr. Mortram, of Walworth, having been
appointed artist to 'prepare the necessary display.

REFORM MEETING AT SUND,ERL4ND.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of the bo•
rough of Sunderland was held on Tuesday evening
in the large hall of the Athenoeum, to consider the
propriety of petitioning Parliament in favour of a
new Reform Bill, for amending the representation
of the people, and for determining on what princi-
ples such Reform Bill should be based, and the
leading objects to be embraced in it. The hall and
galleries were closely packed, and the audience was
comprised of all classes of the inhabitants of the
town. The mayor, Mr. John. Candlish, occupied
the chair, and was supported by many influential
inhabitants of the borough.
Messrs. Joseph Cowen, jun., and R. B. Reed at-
tended as a deputation from the Northern Reform
Union. The greatest interest and unanimity pre-
vailed throughout the proceedings.
The MAYOR expressed the pleasure he had in
presiding on the occasion, for the principles of the
resolutions to be proposed and the collateral allega-
tions contained in them were unanswerable, being
based upon truth.
Mr. Alderman WILLIAMS moved the first resolu-
tion to the effect that in the, opinion of the meet-
ing, the present restrictive franchise deprives a
large number of our fellow-countrymen of their
just electoral rights ; entails on the nation bad
legislation, financial extravagance, and an irre-
sponsible foreign policy ; and demands a radical
reform in the representation of the people in Par-
liament, based on manhood suffrage and vote by
ballot. In answer to the objection that this was
not the time for agitating this question--that the
character of the Government and other bills on the

subject, should, be first seen and judged of, the
speaker said, if Lord Derby was the man they took
him for, such meetings as that would show him
what the people wanted. It was admitted by Lord
Derby, Lord John Russell, and Mr. Bright—
(cheers)—that reform was needed, and if they ex-
chided its tWo first principles from the measures to
be proposed, it was all-important that Mr. Bright
knew -what they thought, and on what principles
the bill he had undertaken on the part of the
people to frame, should be founded.
Mr. WIGHT seconded the resolution.
Mr. J. COWEN, jun., after referring to the diver-
sity existing among reformers as to the character of
the measure best calculated to meet the wants of
the people, explained the objects of the association
which he represented—which declared that man-
hood suffrage and vote by ballot should be the basis
of any satisfactory Reform Bill. In other words,
they asked a vote for every man, and the
privilege of giving that vote free from all improper
influence. They adopted this programme for two
reasons--first, because it was simple, and there-
fore likely to win popular favour, and secondly,
because it offered the only solution to the ever-re-
curring question of constitutional change. (Cheers.)
At present there was nothing before the country
but vague declarations from the leaders of the dif-
ferent sections of politicians in favour of some
scheme of reform. No party was committed to
any definite measure. No one knew what the
Government would propose, but they all knew
that both Government and Parliament were amen-
able to public opinion, and if the voice of the people
was earnestly and energetically expressed in favour
of a radical measure of reform they were more
likely to get it than if they merely went for some
not very satisfactory compromise. They might be
sure the less they asked for the less they would get,
and the more they asked the more they would
obtain. He then proceeded to dwell upon the evils
arising from the present representative system, re-
iterating all the arguments to be adduced in favour
of a reformed system, and in conclusion urged the
necessity of unanimity on the great question which
was to be dealt with in the coming session.
The resolution was carried by acclamation.
Mr. SEDGWICK moved the next resolution to the
effect that the work in which the Northern Reform
Union is now engaged is calculated to extend the
political education of the people, and to strengthen
the hands of the Reform party in or out of Parlia-
ment in their efforts to obtain from the Govern-

ment a thorough measure of reform, and was there-
fore deserving of the support and encouragement of
all earnest reformers.

he resolution was seconded by Mr. GAMMAGE,
an supported by—
Mr. R. B. REED, of the Northgrn Reform Union,
who said—The great struggle between the people
on the one hand, and the aristocracy on the other,
was about to commence, and it would need the
united exertions of the friends of progress and im-
provement to carry it to a successful issue. (Hear.)
There were many prejudices to be uprooted, many
obstacles to be removed, and many powerful oppo-
nents to combat, before a veritable Reform Bill

became the law of the land. But he ,had faith in
the persistency of the people of England upon this
question of reform in Parliament ; he believed that
the temperate and reasonable advocacy, which
formed a distinguishing characteristic of the efforts
of reformers in every important town in the king-
dom, would ultimately secure those rights and
privileges which every free-born Briton ought to
enjoy.
This motion was also carried nem. eon., and a
petition to Parliament based on the foregoing was
adopted.
