THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.-
„ is only a short time since this singularly efficacious
Celebrityt..., diet first made its appearance ; and already
,:aly is wortd-wide. It 'has been a subject of wonder,
nag puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been
4ought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts
neerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since,
„ gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a
the bag of bones.". He tried all kinds of things to get
er animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some
h rapidlyood ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The
4,°ree grew fat, and Ifl the course of a few weeks had
"'tied no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
eultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which
j.4t.rtied off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
`Y's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we
;Pe forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely
its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can
proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those
‘,.0 have tried It. All. arties interested in horses and cattle

The essential object of this treatise is to point out tilt:fear-
ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities,
and excesses, which have produced mere misery in Youth,
degradation in Manhood, and prematur, decay at all stages
of life, than, perhaps, spy other 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 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.

Mr. Rolt and Mr. Swinburne moved, on behalf
of Mr. Benjamin Webster, the proprietor of the
Adelphi Theatre, for an injunction to restrain the
defendant and his wife frinn performing as Harlequin
and Columbine, or in any other parts, at the Lyceum
Theatre, dining the forthcoming pantomime sea-
son, on the ground that they had been engaged by
the plaintiff for his Christmas pantomime in Au-
gust last, and that the contract was binding and
concluded between them. On the 27th of October

last the plaintiff received a letter from the male
defendant, to say that not having seen him upon
the day appointed "to settle his Christmas engage-
ment," or heard from the plaintiff since, and there
being a doubt whether he would produce a panto-
mime, he (the defendant) had been induced to ac-
cept an engagement at the Lyceum. To this letter
the plaintiff at once replied, that he should hold
the defendant, by every legal means, to the fulfil-
ment of his engagement.
Mr. Daniel, on behalf of the defendants, was not
called on.

The Vice-Chancellor declined granting the in-
junction. The engagement was not actually con-
cluded, and was evidently in treaty only up to
October last, for on the 15th of that month the de-
fendant wrote to the plaintiff stating that, before
going to Manchester, he wished to have his Christ-
mas engagement finally settled, being anxious
to have some guarantee that his services would be
accepted, and to know when they were to commence.
A meeting took place with Mr. Webster, and an
appointthent was arranged for a certain day at the
Adelphi. There was no reason to doubt the de-
fendant's statement that he went to the theatre at
the time appointed and waited three hours and a
half without seeing the plaintiff. If not up to that
time engaged he had a perfect right to withdraw
and accept an engagement at the Lyceum. If Mr.
Webster had finally accepted the engagement in
August the case would have been different ; but
upon th. evidence there was nothing conclusive—
nothing to bind that gentleman down to the defen-
dant. The motion must, therefore, be refused. Costs,
to be costs in the cause.

MANSLAUGHTER AT SEA.

George Wate, a captain, was charged with having
killed George Scott on the high seas. The only
witness called was George Wiseman, who in cross-
examination contradicted himself so strangely that
the judge was induced to request the jury to dis-
charge the prisoner, inasmuch as there was no case
whatever against him.
This concluded the business of the assizes.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—READING, Dec. 22.

(-Before Mr.. Juatjee Erle.)

MURDER OF A CHILD.-SENTENCE OF DEATH.

Mary Newell, aged 22, having the appearance of
a clean country servant, was inuicted for the wil-
ful murder of her illegitimate child, at Reading, on
the 10th of August last,
Mr. 0. Griffiths conducted the case for the pro-
secution; and Mr. Cripps defended the prisoner.
In August last two men who were fishing in the
Thames, near Reading, found the body of a male
child about three months old. Photographic like-
nesses of the child were taken, and oue of them
was seen by the governor of the Henley Union
Workhouse, who recognised it as that of the child
of the prisoner, who a few days before had left the
workhouse. The prisoner was traced, and ulti•
mately made a statement to the effect that the
deceased was the child of a man at Reading, and
that having in vain applied to him to support it,
she had been driven in her desperation to throw it
into the river.

Tho jury found the prisoner guilty, but recom-
mended her to mercy.
The learned judge then passed sentence of death,
adding that the jury's recommendation should be
forwarded to the proper quarter.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Dec. 21.

Before Mr. Pashley, Q.C., Assistant-Judge, 'at
Westminster.)

Mary Ann Jones, 27, a maimed woman, was
indicted for stealing a gold ring, value 10s. 6d., the
property of Henry George Howley.
Mr. Langley prosecuted ; the prisoner was de-
fended by Mr. Sleigh.
The prisoner was found guilty, and the Court sen-
tenced her to six months' hard labour. Her husband
subsequently applied to the Court for permission to
see her, on the ground that he wanted to consult her
as to what he should do with two children she had
left him with, besides an infant she had with her.
The officer of the House of Correction, Coldbath-
fields, in order to prevent the Court granting the
request, informed the Assistant-Judge, who usually
complies with such applications, that the husband
had himself been in prison.
The Assistant-Judge directed that the applicant
should see his wife on such an important subject as
.to what should be done with their children. It did
not matter that the man had himself been in prison
on a former occasion. Let him see her.

The Court once made a general order that under
ordinary circumstances the immediate friends of
prisoners, their parents, a brother or sister, a wife
or husband, as the case might be (in some instances
the permission has been given to parties not mar-
ried, but standing in the relation of married per-
sons), should see them before they were sent away,
but in almost every instance of an application being
made for the order, the Coldbath-fields officer inter-
poses to prevent it being granted, a thing never
attempted by any of the officers of either of the
other prisons of the county who attend the court.
William Thomas Samuel and George Soper were
indicted for an assault upon James Bentley, an offi-
cer of the sheriff of this county, in a matter of dis-
puted possession of premises, 64, Charlwood-street,
Pimlico. They pleaded guilty, and were ordered to
enter into recognisances to appear for judgment
when call edupon. _ •

Mr. Sleigh was for the prosecution ; Mr. Ribton
for the defendants.

appeared got a knowledge of where the little hoard
was kept. On the following Friday she was very
unwell, and the female prisoner volunteered to ac-
company her to the doctor, and locked the door
and. put the key in her pocket. When she got
back, after an absence of about an hour, the male
prisoner was there, and opened the door, after his
wife had knocked three tithes. They went up-
stairs, and the female prisoner seemed to open the
room door with the key. After remaining half an
, hour they went, at her request, to procure some
leeches, but did not return, and on the following
Sunday morning she found that the chest had been
turned up, the bottom taken out with a chisel, and
the money gone. The prisoners had been very
badly off, and she had given them food on several
occasions. . She gave informatisn to the police, and
the prisoners were apprehended in Short's-gardens,
Drury-lane.
The policeman in the case said the female told
him sbe knew all about it, and gave him up 255.,
and some things which had been bought with part
of the money. • The husband said he admitted the
charge, it was too clear against him, but his wife

The. Secretary of State for War having ordered a
revision of the regulations for the government of
the temporary quarters in Great Britain and Ire-
land, termed "half-billet stations," to meet the
requirements of the War Department as at present
constituted, the following' revised regulations
were yesterday transmitted to the officers com-
manding and the Barrack-masters throughout the
United Kingdom,_ signed- by the Under-Secretary
of State, Sir B. Hawes. The forms referred to in
the regulations are omitted, as being purely of offi-
cial importance :
" 1.. The premises shall in the first instance be
selected and hired by the military. Where the ,
troops are not stationed in a military district the
necessary orders will be given in Great Britain by
the Quartermaster-General. In all other cases the
premises are to be engaged under orders from the
general or other officer commanding the district,
and on 'the terms of half-billet money, the officer
previously requiring the proprietors to.,answer the
questions in form letter A annexed. Th&proprietors
to receive the allowance from the date inclusive of
the removal of the troops and barrack stores.

" 2. This rent, or half-billet money, will be paid
to the proprietors, not by the military officers, but
under the orders of the Secretary of State for War
on accounts to be rendered as hereafter shown.

" 3. In order that the proprietor may receive the
rent as soon as possible after it shall have become
due, the Barrack-master will, at the expiration of
each quarter, transmit to the office of the Account-
ant-General, War•ofl'ice, Pall-mall, London, an ac-
count, agreeably to the form annexed, No. 1, show-
ing the rent then due, calculated at the rates there
in stated.

" 4. An account, in the same form, is likewise to
be transmitted immediately after the troops shall
have left the station, the allowance being calculated
at the authorised rates from the date ofthe last pay-
ment, to the date inclusive of the stores being re-
moved.

5. For the purpose of checking these claims, the
barrack-master will transmit to the office of the ac-
countant-general a retrra, agreeably to form No. 2
annexed, showing the strength of the detachment
for which payment is to be made, and which is to be
signed by the officer in command of the detachment,
the Barrack-master, and the proprietor of the pre-
mises, or some one duly authorised on his behalf.
This return is to be transmitted at the marching in
and marching out of each detachment, and at every
fluctuation of numbers. The Barrack-master to ex-
plain to the proprietors that their signatures to
those returns are required for facilitating the pay-
ments, and to prevent any misunderstanding as to
the amount of rent to be paid.
" 6. When these half-billet stations are taken in
the manner described in paragraph 1, the fact is to
be duly communicated in each case, with the name
of the barrack to which it is nearest, through the
Quartermaster-General's Department, to the Secre-
tary of State for War, for his guidance in ordering
the supplies, informing him of the number of offi-
cers, non-commissioned officers, men, and horses for
which- it is calculated the premises will afford ac-
commodation, and the period (if possible) for which

the premises will be required. The Secretary of
State for War will then give the necessary direc-
tions for the supply of barrack furniture required,
previously placing the house and furniture under
the charge of the Barrack-master most convenient
to the station (of which the Quartermaster-Gene-
ral's Department is to be informed), and the Bar-
rack-master will thenceforward regulate all pro-
ceedings in the same manner as if the troops were
in permanent barracks.
" 7. The Barrack-master appointed to the charge,
or, in his unavoidable absence in consequence of
leave or indisposit ion, his appointed representative or
barrack sergeant, is to be present when the house
is first occupied, and when it is vacated.

" 8. The commanding officer of the regiment or
detachment furnishing the party placed at the half
billet station will, upon orders being received by
him for the removal or exchange of the party there
stationed, give immediate notice to the Barrack-
master under whose charge the half billet station is
placed, that he may forthwith attend to take up the
barrack and equipments in strict conformity with
the 7th, Bth, 9th, 10th, and 11th clauses of her Ma•
jest's warrant for the regulation of barracks, by
which those stations are in all respects to be go-
verned as if established barracks.
"9. Shouldthe removal of the troops be so sudden
that the attendance of the Barrack-master or Bar-
rack-sergeant cannot be obtained, a non-commis•
sioned officer, or in the event of the strength of the
party not allowing one to be left behind, a steady
man should remain to deliver up the furniture, &c.,
with the inventory of which the Barrack-masterhas
a duplicate, both reciprocally signed by himself and
the commanding officer. The Barrack-master will,
on ascertaining from the General officer command-
ing that the station is not likely to b:.: again occu-
pied within a short period, and without waiting for
a specific order, immediately cause the stores to be
removed to his headquarters, reporting by next post
to the Director of Stores the expense attending such
removal for his sanction, in order that an authority
may be given for passing the charge.
10. The Barrack-masters will regularly once
a-month visit every half billet station placed under
their charge, and an inspection of the building and
stores, ,in strict conformity with her Majesty's
regulation ; transmitting to the several departments
concerned the forms prescribed by the instructions
to Barrack-masters, dated Oct. 1, 1838, showing
the result of such 'examination.
" 11. At these inspections all repairs required to
stores are to be reported to the Director of Stores ;
and such wanton damages
may appear, after
making all due allowance for wear and tear, are to
as
be charged to the troops, and
immediately paid
for by them, pursuant to the concluding part of
Majesty's
the 7th clause of her
warrant and the
general order, home stations, dated March 30, 1840.
" 1-2. If at these inspections the state of the
equipment be such as to demand either a total or
partial exchange from the store of the permanent
barrack, the Barrack-master will apply to the
Director of Stores for authority to incur the expense
attendant on such exchange,
which will be forth-

the same.

13. As the premises are selected and hired by
the military-, copies of the agreement annexed
(Form B) will be furnished in duplicate from the

"Thus there will be neither charge nor credit to

straw.

" The sums paid by the troops for damages
