ExtrAt from Minutek; of Consultation transmitted by the
Government of Madras, on the kith May, 1858, to the
late Court of Directors of the East India Oompany :
The Government express their unanimous, strong, and
earnest advocacy that all irrigation works which, on a com-
prehensive view of the wants of the country, may be deemed
necessary to deyelop
,its undoubtedly great resources, be
commenced at once boldly and on a large scale, be pressed
forward throughout all times and under all circumstances,
and be looked on, and be practically treated, as in feet they
really are, as the most economical, because the most pro-
fitable, undertakings in which the Government could pos-
sibly engage. It is needless now again to bring forward
the innumerable instances in which money ban
in the Pre-
sidency been most advantageously invested i
works. The proceedings of Government have, in this re-
spect, been only too desultory and vacillating, and it is
confidently asserted' that India could be placed in a
position to pay all her own expenses, and gradually dis-
charge her debt far more readily and speedily by a judicious
expenditure than by any scheme of retrenchment or reduc-
tion.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear-
ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities,
and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth,
degradation in Manhood, otherr decay at all stages
of life, than, perhaps, any class of disease known to
modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended
to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi-
tion, and who are consciousOf 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
violated without incurring, grievous penalties, and when be

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 big 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, and in the course of a few weeks had
gained no less thanl2 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' fcd with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we y
are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solel
from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can
proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those
who have fried 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.

Ma .h, 1858: Captain. Wilmot's company was engaged
with a large body of the enemy,-near the Iron Bridge. That
officer found himself at the end of a street-asith only four of
his men, opposed_ to a considerable body. One of the four
was' shot th=ough both legs, and became utterly helpless.
The' two,men liftedlim up, and although Private Hawkes
was severely
.wounded, Ito carried him for a considerable
distance, exposed to the fire of the enemy, Captain Wilmot
firing with the men's rifles, and covering the retreat of the
party. - -
Private J . Smith, Ist.Madras Fusiliers—For having been
one of the first to try and enter the gatewayonthe northside
of the Secundra:Bagh. On the gateway being burst open,
he was one of the first to enter, and was surrounded by the
enemy. He received a sword-cut on the head, a bayonet
wound on the left• side, and a contusion from the butt end
of a musket on the right shoulder, notwithstanding which
he fought his way out, and continued to performs his
ieduties
for the, rest of the day. Elected by the pnvate d

tery, for conspicuous gallantry at the relief of Lucknow,

Lieutenant Hugh Henry Gough, Ist -Bengal European
Light Cavalry.--Lieutenant Gough, when in command of
a party-cf HodsOn's Horse, near Alumbagh, on the 12th of
November, 1857, particularly distinguished himself by his
forward healing. in charging acrosa a swamp, and capturing
two guns, although. defended by a vastly superior body of
the enemy. On this occasion he had his horse wounded
in two places,
_and his turban cut through by sword cuts,
whilst engaged in eombat with three sepoys. Lieutenant
Gough also particularly diAinguished- himself, near Jells-
labad, Lucknow; on the 25th February, 1858, by .showing a
brilliant example to his regiment, when ordered to char-e
the enemy's guns, and by his gallant and forward conduct,
he enable& than to effect their object. On this occasion,
he engaged himself in a series of single combats,
until at length he was disabled by a musket-ball through
the -leg, while:eharging
.two Sepoys-with -fixed bayonets.
Lieutenant Gough on this day had two horses killed under
him, a shot through his helmet, and _another through his
scabbard, besides /sanb severely wounded.
Lieutenant Frederick Sleigh Roberts, Bengal Artil-
lery—Lieutenant Roberts' gallantry has on every
occasion- been most. marked. On following up the re-
treating enemy on =the 2d of January, 1858, at lihoda-
gunge, he . saw in .the distance two Sepoys going
away with' a standard. Lieutenant Roberts put spurs
to his horse, and overtook them just as they were
about to enter a village. They immediately turned round,
and presented their muskets at him, and one of the men
pulled the trigger; but fortunately the caps snapped, and
the standard-bearer was cut down by this gallant young
officer, and the standard taken possession of by him. He
also on the same clay, cut down another Sepoy who was
standing at bay, with musket and bayonet, keeping off a
Sowar. Lieut. Roberts rode to the assistance of the horse-
man, and, rushing at the Sepoy, with one blow of his
sword cut him across the face, killing him on the spot.

at Sultanpore, Lieutenant Imes, far in advance of the
leading skirmishers, was the first to secure a gun which the
enemy were abandoning. Retiring from this, they rallied
round another gun further back, from which the shot
would, in another instant, have ploughed through our ad-
vancing columns, when Lieut. Innes rode up, unsupported,
shot the gunner who was about to apply the match, and,
remaining undaunted at his post, the mark for a hundred
matchlock men, who were sheltered in some adjoining huts,

consequent on the explosion was very great, and the crowd

and personal daring, saved the lives of many at the risk of
their own.
