his countrymen, and obtain indemnity for dimi•
nished dividends by the cry, " Beat them and pul
them down we will."

Whether the charge of conspiracy could be
made out in the legal sense or not, it is not for us
to decide. We suppose the attempt to prove it is
now abandoned. That the thing charged was
done—that the Saloon Company's omnibuses were
" nursed" by those of the London General Omnibus
Company, the evidence, so far as given, seemed to
prove conclusively. Indeed, the evidence could be
needed for formal purposes only. The object, how-
ever, in order to prove conspiracy, was to connect
the managers of the great company with the deeds
of their servants. In this respect the evidence
seemed to bear hard upon some of them ; and, in
so far, it only confirmed the impression which
every one must receive from seeing the servants of
any employer publicly and regularly pursuing a
course of which it were absurd to suppose the em-
ployers could be ignorant. Probably, apart from
prejudicing themselves in their legal position, the
masters of these " nurses" would boast of what they
did in their own circles, and be only too well
pleased to be able to add, that they had nursed the
objects of their solicitude to death.
One thing is certain—the nursing system must
be, and will be, put down. The magistrates be-
fore whom such charges have been brought are
agreed, as they ought to be, that they will deal
severely with the nurses if they cannot reach the
companies whom they serve. Let the omnibuses
compete as much as they please in furnishing good
accommodation and civil conductors, in keeping
well their time and lowering their fares, and doing
everything else that may render their omnibuses
attractive ; but the public will not tolerate any dic-
tation as to which omnibus it shall use, and much less
being driven from the door of one, which has been
hailed, by a rival making it dangerous to enter.
We shall not enter into any discussion of the merits
of one company's or another's omnibuses ; we have
already acknowledged that the new company did
lead the way in considerably improving these
vehicles, and the old companies are following its
lead. But we shall insist upon the right of getting
unmolested into any omnibus which suits us,
whether it be one, indeed, fitted up like a saloon,
or be one of the most ricketty old waggons in the

metropolis.
As to what an Act of Parliament can do, we are
not so sure. Perhaps the best thing it can do is to
give large powers to the magistrates in the way of
conviction and punishment for such interference
with rivals as at all annoys the public. Nothing
limiting the number which shall *run on any par-
ticular line can be allowed; that would of course
confer a monopoly on those who first obtained the
line. It does, however, seem practicable to force
the companies to compete, as all other rival com-
panies must, by the quality or cheapness of the
article they offer to the public—not by making it
dangerous or inconvenient to use the article pro-
vided by their rivals.

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 wenderful. 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, Newo•ate-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free. *

LATEST NEWS.

The following telegram has been received a
Mr. Reuter's office :

VIENNA, DEC. 24.
According to advises from Belgrade, the Skoupts-
china, or National Assembly, demanded on Wed-
nesday last, the 22d inst., the abdication of Prince
Alexander Karageorgievie. The Prince promised
his reply for the 23d, and repaired to the Turkish
fortress in order to place himself in safety. The
Skouptschina thereupon resolved on the deposition
of the Prince, because, in their judgment, the
country was left without Government, and the
Prince was to be considered as a fugitive.
The Skouptschina further proclaimed Prince
Milosch Prince of Servia, in the presence of the
people summoned for that purpose.

plies in corn and hay; hence ensures an actual saving in
the keep. But its principal advantages are a great im-
provement in the digestive functions, the stamina and
general condition of sea enabling them to perform far
more labour without getting distressed. It imparts new
vigour to sick, debilitated, or old apparently worn-out
horses, and it puts rapidly the finest flesh on cattle gene-

BELGIUM.

The Belgian Senate at its sitting of the day
before yesterday adopted three bills which had
been previously voted by the Chamber of Repre-
sentatives. One was for a credit to pay the funeral
expenses of M. Partoes, the late Minister of Public
Works ; another for granting a pension of 3,000 f.
to his widow ; and a third, redwing the duty on
patentes (licences to kade) hitherto paid by Belgian
and foreign boatmen by f) per cent. The loss to
the revenue by this reduction will be about
160,000 f. a year.

The following is amore detailed account of the
proceedings relative to th 6 proposition of M. Dolez,
in the Belgian Chamber of Representatives. When
the general debate on Art. 4 of the second part of the
Penal Code was concluded, that gentleman, who was
the president of the committee on the bill, proposed
that the examination should be then considered at
an end, and that the committee should recon-
sider the whole bill. This proposition being
adopted, the debate Came to a close. The Chamber
then took up the consideration of the budget of the
Foreign-office, when a proposed addition of 43,000 fr.
to the allowance of Ministers at foreign Courts was
opposed by FIJI. Coomans, De Muelenaere, and De
Vandenpeereboom. Eventually, the House divided
on the point, when the Government project was
adopted by 37 votes to 24.

---- -
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear-
ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities,
and excesses, which have produced wore misery in Youth,
degradation in Manhood, and prematur, decay at all stages
of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to
modern pathologists. Its perueal is particularly recommended
to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi-
tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health
happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en-
titled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that
there are principles of personal management which cannot be
violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when
wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-
indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the
sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil
and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, .that
there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement-to which the timely aid of science cannot apply
a cure.

The sentence of the district court-martial which
. recently assembled at Chatham garrison under the
, presidency of Lieut.-Col. R. J. M‘Killop, Royal
Marines, for the trial of Private Wm. Webb, of the
Chatham division of Royal Marine Light Infantry,
on a charge of desertion under very aggravated
- circumstances; having been approved by the Horse
Guards, the entire battalion of officers and men now
at the head-quarters of the Chatham division of the
Royal Marines assembledyesterday morning in the
barrack-square for the purpose of hearing the find-
ing of the Court read. 'The prisoner at the time he
deserted was stationed as sentry at an important
part of the Marine barracks adjoining Chatham
dockyard, and while mounting guard deserted from
his post, leaving his loaded. rifle and a portion of
his accoutrements behind, near his sentry-box. He
was apprehended a short time afterwards in the
neighbourhood of Chatham and brought to trial for
the offence. The Court found the prisoner guilty,
and sentenced him to undergo 168 days' imprison-
ment in the military prison at Rochester, and like-
wise to be marked on his body with the letter "D."
After the sentence of the Court had been read the
prisoner was handed over to an escort and marched
to Fort Clarence prison to undergo the punishment
awarded him.

been found satisfactory, and a despatch to that
effect was sent off to the Austrian representative at
Frankfort.

The States of Saxe Weimar assembled in an ex-

THE LATE GEN.gRAL BAVELOCIC.

In no part of the empire has the sad news of the
death of the gallant Havelock caused more regret
than at Windsor Castle ; and the Queen's regret
has been increased by the reflection that the hero
was carried off before he could become aware of her
Majesty's generous intentions in his regard, and of
the honours and rewards which a gracious Sovereign
and a grateful country designed to bestow upon.
him,, in recognition of his transcendent zeal,
activity, and services. We may now state what we
have more than once hinted—that it was the queen's
determination to raise him to the peerage ; and we
understand that, on hearing of his death, her
Majesty at once expressed her intention to take his
family under her especial protection. Parliament
has already declared its wish to provide for the
eldest son by making the pension of 1,0001. a-year,
proposed for his father, inheritable by him - and we have reason to believe that apartments in Hampton Court Palace will, as soon as pos.
sible, be granted to Lady Havelock and her
daughters, together with a pension of 5001. a year.
—Court Circular.
One of the first notices in the order-book of the
House of Commons on the re-opening of Parlia-
ment is the proposed annuity of 1,0001. Perhaps
it will now be granted to his widow, and afterwards
to the present baronet. It was to commence from
the 7th December last.
SUNDERLAND, Thursday Evening. The news of
General Havelock's death reached this, his native
town (of which Bishop Wearmouth forms the
southern part), this morning, and caused a very
wide spread feeling of sorrow. The minute bell of
the parish church was tolled throughout the fore-
noon, and the union-jack was hoisted half-mast
high on the tower. A proposal has already been
publicly mooted for erecting, by subscription, a
monument to the deceased hero, on Building-hill, a
picturesque eminence overlooking the public park
of the borough.
