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; stsling that he had a horse which was a
" perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get
the animal into conditf on, but in vain. He then bought some
of Thorlers food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The
horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had
gained uo less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. S. uch 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.

which, had it been carried, he was persuaded the
consequence would have been that a large saving
would have been effected in the public expenditure
without impairing in any way the efficiency of the
public service in any department. That motion
was to refer the army and navy estimates to a
committee, but he was in a minority, twenty-six
members only voting for it. They would be
astonished if they knew how small a proportion of
the money voted for those two services was ex-
pended in the pay, provision, and clothing of the
troops and seamen. He believed that the com-
mittee, had it been appointed, would have struck
out hundreds and hundreds of thousands of pounds
from the. gross aggregate of the estimates for the
two services. They had seen lately statements of
the extraordinary frauds committed in clothing the
army. He (Mr. Williams) had always had an im-
pression, and which he had expressed over and
over again in the House of Commons, that the
public money was not safe—that the public ex-
penditure was not properly looked after under the
existing system. A committee was some years ago
appointed, at the instance of Sir F. Baring, on the
subject, and they found that although the expendi-
ture amounted to between £60,000,000 and
£70,000,000 a year, there was no effective check-
-110 protection. They passed certain resolutions
with a view to—the establishment of greater se-
eurit):. But although the Government of the day
promised to bring in a bill to carry out those reso-
lutions, nothing had been done. It was only just,
however, in reference to the present Government,
to say that they had as yet had no opportunity of
taking steps in the matter. Under the old borough--
mongering Parliaments the army and navy expen-
diture had been much less than it was now. When
Sir R. Peel and the Duke of Wellington were in
office—the one the greatest statesman, and the
other the greatest general of modern times—
£ll,s7o,ooo was found to be sufficient for the army
and navy expenditure; whereas last year, under
the Government of Lord Palmerston, it was
£22,520,000, or almost double—in fact, upwards
of ' £11,000,000 more. (Shame.) He was sorry
to say that the military expenditure proposed
by the present Government was but very little less.
Ministers and gentlemen connected with the mili-
tary services were always holding up the Emperor
of the French as a sort of bugbear to justify a
heavy military expenditure, on the plea that it was
necessary to protect ourselves against invasion.
Why, there had not been for ages on the throne of
France a man more disposed to maintain friendly rela-
tions with this country than the present Emperor. It
was his interest to do so, and we might depend that
he would always consult his own interest. In the
year he had referred to, when Sir R. Peel and the
Duke of Wellington were in power, the total public
expenditure was £15,730,000 less than it was under
Lord Palmerston's Government last year—(shame)
—which £15,000,000, had it been saved to the
country, would have enabled the Government to
take off the whole of the income tax, abolish the tea
duty, and the duty on malt and on hops. Tea would
have been ls. 4d. a pound, and good strong beer
might have been sold at 2d. per pot. (Hear.) Then
the present Government in their estimates this year
wanted £7,500,000 more money than they did in
1852, when they were last in power, and the only
explanation they gave was that they could not
make reductions all at once. (Hear, hear.) These
were matters it was the duty of representatives
to attend to. One of the first duties of the. House
of Commons in :olden time was thought to be to
hold the purse-strings of the nation, but now they
seemed to think their duty was to open the
purse as wide as possible. Again, with regard
to the civil service estimates—in 1830, when the
Duke of Wellington was Prime Minister, the total
amount was £2,000,000. Last year, under a re-
formed Parliament, and with a liberal Government
in office, it was £6,000,000, exclusive of the expen-
diture on account of the revenue, as the excise and
customs, which amounted to between £4,000,000 and
£5,000,000 more. If these matters were looked into
as he proposed by a conmitte many millions a year
would be saved. He brought forward another im-
portant motion for imposing the probate duty upon
landed property; which was not successful. They
were aware that every description of property ex-
cept land paid probate duty. When a poor man died
he had perhaps a few pounds in the savings bank,
the Government could send in a broker to value his
furniture and clothes, and if his whole property was
worth £2O his children must pay 2 per cent. upon
it ; but if a noMeman died leaving estates worth
£2,000,000, his successor did not pay a farthing.
(Shame.) Was not that abominable? (Yes.) He also
proposed. that appropriated tithes, which amounted
to a large sum, should also pay probate and legacy
duty. The tithes in many parishes were in lay hands,
and descended like other property. Why, therefore,
should they be exempt from the duty ? They did
now pay legacy duty, Mr. Gladstone having, but
not without considerable difficulty and much oppo-
sition, carried a bill for that purpose. He proposed
that not only those appropriated tithes, but corpo-
rate property, the property of universities, deans,
and chapters, and bishoprics—exclusive of the
bishop's income—should be subject, like other pro-
perty, to these charges. He had brought this
question forward several times, but he could only
get 64 members to vote for it last session, and he
was almost surprised that he got so many.
Having been one of those who visited Cherbourg,
they would expect him to say something of what
he saw there. Well, he saw the whole concern
—(a laugh)—about which so much had been said
and talked in this country. Cherbourg was no
doubt a place wonderfully fortified, but what had
we to do with that Wu did not want to
attack Cherbourg. All that was required was to
protect our own coasts, and to provide for our own
safety, for which lie was as desirous as any man
could be. (Hear, hear.) He looked at all that was
to be seen at Cherbourg, but saw nothing to be
afraid of. But the partisans and hangers-on of
Government were trying to frighten the people
about Cherbourg, as if the great batteries there
could be floated and sent against this country. But
the object of those persons was to put their hands
in the pockets of the people. Why, we had at
Portland, immediately opposite Cherbourg and
aimost in sight, a harbour that would hold all the
ships of war in our navy, which might be collected
there ready to destroy any force that could come
from Cherbourg. The great works were still going
on at Portland, and it was about to be fortified.
People connected with the army and navy said that
our coasts were defenceless, and that our military
forces were insufficient. Why, there were 59,390
sailors and marines voted last year—the largest
force we ever maintained in time of peace. For
several years after the French war our force was
not half that amount. If this force was properly
applied no power or powers could approach our
shores. They would perhaps be surprised to learn
that the House of Commons voted last session for
the regular army, militia, enrolled pensioners,
dockyard battalions, and yeomanry cavalry,
220,000 men ; then there were 12,000 Irish police,
all picked men and trained like soldiers—thus we
had a force of 232,000 for the defence of Great
Britain and Ireland. Besides this there were
32,000 men for the colonies and 92,000 men voted
expressly for India. With such a force what had
we to fear ? He did not know how many of this
mighty army were enlisted, but, with regard to the
navy, they had been told by the First Lord of the
Admiralty that the full number was completed and
something more. Now a word or two upon the
promised Reform Bill. (Cheers.) He had no great
faith that the present Government would intro-
duce any bill worth accepting ; but he was willing
to see what they would propose, and support
that which was good in their measure, while
he would
oppose that which he thought in-
jurious. He apprehended that they would
enlarge the franchise—that would be good. Then
they would no doubt abolish some of the small
boroughs. But it was to be feared that they would
give to the counties the members they took from
those boroughs, and would form other small
boroughs into county electoral distticts. If that
was the Reform Bill of the government, they ought
to oppose it, for they would be Worse off than they
were now. The seven constituencies of the metro-
polis returned sixteen members to Parliament,
exclusive of Greenwich. These were returned by
a larger body of electors than 285 members returned
by 194 other constituencies. Was not this
monstrous ? (Hear, hear.) If they added Man-
chester, Liverpool, and Glasgow, they would have
186,000 voters returning 22 members for the 10
constituencies, whereas there were 216 constitu-
encies with 180,000 electors, returning 329 members,
or a majority in the House of Commons. Look at
this effect. The laws which govern the 28,000,000
people of this country might thus be made by the
representatives of the 180,000 electors, seeing that
if they voted together they would form a majority
of the.whole house. Was this a state of things that
ought, to be allowed to rest? Some -people talked
of equalising the constituencies, but he did not ex-
pect they would be able to do
that., They must
endeavour to approximate as near to equality as
they could. To apportion the members equally to
the constituencies they ought to have 70 members
for the nietropolig. With regard t 9 the reduction

Mr. WILLIAMS belonged to an association the
committee of which met last week, and entrusted
Mr. Bright with the duty of drawing up a Reform
Bill, which, though that hon. gentleman was not
fettered as to details, would generally embrace' the
principles for which that society contended, viz.,
vote by ballot, triennial Parliaments, a more equal
division of electoral districts and £5 occupation
franchise. With such a Reform Bill he should have
no fear of the widest admission of the people to
electoral rights.
The usual vote of confidence in the km. member

after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting
separated.

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'ot 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 LAUNCH OF THE PARAM4TTA.

The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company have
given emphatic proof of their preference of iron
over wooden ships by ordering two vessels of very
large dimensions from the Thames Iron Company
to• replace their wooden vessels Magdalena and
Orinoco: It appears now to be ascertained that a
much greater strength of structure can be obtained
in iron ships, together with diminished cost, and
more expedition in the construction of the vessel.
It is asserted, moreover, that in the wooden ships
of the company the full power of the engines has
never been developed, and it is expected, therefore,
that in the new ships to which the engines of the
superseded vessels are to be transferred, a greater
speed will be attained than has up to this time been
found possible. The first of the two new ships, the
Paramatta, which was launched yesterday (having
been commenced in January last), is a magnificent
vessel of upwards of three thousand tons, but look-
ing, notwithstanding her immense size, as light
and graceful as a pleasure yacht. Her stern is
particularly beautiful, and although fastidious
critics object to the form of the bow, it did not
appear to us to present any peculiarity that marred
the general symmetry of the vessel. The model,
which is from the drawings of Mr. Rennie, naval
architect to the Royal Mail Steam Packet Com-
pany, bears considerable resemblance to the lines of
the Great Eastern, and similar anticipations are
entertained of the speed of the vessel, when once
fairly in motion in her native element. The launch
took place a little before three o'clock p.m., in the
presence of a _ considerable number of ladies and
gentlemen, there being amongst the latter Captains
Mangles and Whish, directors of the Steam Com-
pany ; and Messrs. Rolt and Ford, of the Thames
Iron Company. Beyond a modest display of bunt-
ing over the rails of an improvised balcony, there
was no attempt at display or formality, and it was
not until the vessel was actually in motion that
the majority of the visitors knew that the launch
was going on. The " dogshores" were knocked
-away with scarcer am noise, and the enor-
mous vessel glided ,down in the most noise-
less and unpretending manner until just as
she touched the water, when there was for a mo-
ment a considerable heel-over, and some apprehen-
sions were felt that she was going to take the
water in anything but an upright position. How-
ever, she soon righted herself, and floated majesti-
cally down the creek, where a tug steamer was in
readiness to convey her to the Victoria Dock. The
baptismal ceremony was performed by Miss Whish,
daughter of Capt. Whish, R.N., and a general
round of cheering signalled the completion of the
launch and its ceremonial. The length of the
Paramatta between the perpendiculars is 330 feet,
and her extreme breadth 43 feet 9 inches, her exact
burthen 3,092 tons, and the superficial space allotted
to passengers in the main and saloon decks is 270
feet. The vessel will be barque-rigged, have paddle-
wheels, and be fitted with engines of 800 horse
power, the work of Messrs Maudslay and Field,
and which are to be transferred from the Orinoco.
The saloon fittings are to be in white and gold, with
handsome frieze, and to comprise an efficient system
of ventilation on the plan known as Robinson's
patent. It is expected that the Paramatta and her
consort will be the fastest vessels in the Royal
Mail fleet, and, from their many conveniences and
improvements, much patronised by tropical travel-
lers. The weather, although a little gloomy yes-
terday, as befitted the November season, was, on
the whole, very favourable to the launch, the whole
of the proceedings in which went off without the
slightest hitch, interruption, or accident.
