2HE ARMY.

Mkj,--flnn,rol the E^.l ofZ'ard.gati, K.C.8.,
cay.iiy, has returned to town from a tour of
inspecrion in Scotland and Ireland.
Colonel R. C. Moody, R.E., at present commanding the
Royal Engineers in North Brita n, and formerly Lieute-
nant-Governor of the Falkland Islands, which he with a
party of his corps prepared for colonisation between 1841
and 1848, has, we have reason to believe, been appointed
Ventenant.Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the new
North American colony of British Columbia. The gallant
colonel will shortly proceed to assume the duties of his new
government, embarking at Southampton, and proceeding
to the colony via Chagres and Panama.
Orders were yesterday received at Chatham garilson,
di-
recting reinforcements to the number of upwards of 500 men
of all ranks, belonging to the three battalions of Infantry,
to be held in readiness to embark for Calcutta, Madras,
Bombay, and Kurrachoe early in the ensuing month.
The depots of these regiments at Chatham the service
companies of which are held in readiness to return to Eng-
land from India have given some volunteers far various
corps, and a number of troops have availed themselves of
the permission to volunteer for various corps in India. The
depot of the 82d Light Infantry has given upwards of 100
men to different regiments, and the 10th and 84th depots
have also furnished volunteers to other corps.
Yesterday draughts of offiers and men selected from va-
rious regiments at Chatham left that garrison for Hythe,
f.r the purpose of Going through a course of instruction
ei h the Enfl?l.l rift, at the School of Musketry, to qualify
them for assistant instructors on joining their respective
regiments in India. A draught of 100 non-commissioned
officers and men, with the usual p-opartinn of officers, also
left Chailtirn, and proceeded to Ensthotinte, to undergo a
course of training its the use of the E❑fiald rifle previously
to ensbas kirig for India.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATT,LE.-
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article
of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity
is worldwide. 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 willcease. 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
wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, aad in the course of a few
weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late
agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's
food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced
to the conclusion that its c,leori y a iir:s so'ely fro T 1 its own in-
trinsic 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-strcet, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free,

STATE OF TRA DE.

NOTTINGHAM.—There has been fewer buyers in the
market this week, but still there are orders on hand yet to
be executed, and there is a general feeling of increa.ed con-
fidence. The home demand is necessarily quiet as is always
the case at this time of the year. Yarns are stationary i❑
price. In the hosiery trade there is an increased amount of
activity visible, but the improvement is not so general as
we could wish. The long continued depression may be con-
sidered fairly to have ended, and for some time to come we
have no doubt we shall have to report a gradual but never-
theless decided extension of business operations.—Notting-

IN RR CRITCHELL.

This was an examination sleeting in the case of the
bankrupt, a cabinet maker, of Upper Dorset-place, Clap-
ham-road.

Mr. Childs on behalf of the wife of the bankrupt asked for
the continuance of the allowance granted on the last occa-
sion to her. He had not surrendered.
The Commissioner—Not surrendered. How is that?

Mr. Stocken, from the office of Mr. West, Charlotte-row,
for the assignees, said the assets in this case would pay 40s.
in the pound, and the creditors entertained a favourable
opinion of the bankrupt.
The Commissioner—ls his whereabouts known ? What
reason had be for leaving?
Mr. Childs said no reason had been assigned, and the
bankrupt was believed to be on his way home from New
York.

The Commissioner—What family has the wife ?
Mr. Stricken— Fortunately no children. The assignees
were willing to treat the unfortunate wife with the greatest
consideration, and would consent to an increase of the al-
lowance provided an indemnity was given the assignees
against all risks.
This course was adopted, and the Commissioner, in sanc-
tioning it, expressed a wish that the unfortunate woman
would find some one to advance the money.

NORTH DEVON.

The half-yearly report to be presented to the proprietors
on the 25th states that the directors have the satisfaction to
remark that, considering the state of the receipts of the rail-
ways of the United Kingdom generally, they may con-
gratulate the shareholders of the North Devon Railway
that the traffic has been as well sustained as on most of the
best lines, and better than on many of the railways of longer
standing. The gross earnings for the last six months,
ending 30th June, 1858, have been £10,500, as compared
with £10,803 for the corresponding ball-year of 1857. The
directors have further to remark that the receipts from the
30th June to the date of this report have increased beyond
the corresponding period last year, showing that the slight
falling off before adverted to may be fairly attributed to the
general depression in trade. The net revenue for the past
half-year, as derived from the rent (after payment of interest
on debentures and preference stock), shows a balance of
£1,297, which will allow of a dividend at the same rate as
last t alf-year, viz :-16s. Bd. per cent. on the ordinary stock,
and leave a balance of £75 to be carried forward to the
next half-Year. The chairman and deputy-chairman have
recently inspected the line, and they have reported that the

Pressed by urgent claims, they could make no allow-

of a receiver, would complete their ruin. They were

Thus went his Majesty away from Dinan, evidently
greatly pleased with all the incidents that had oc-
curred within its boundaries.

The Imperial cortege proceeded to Saint Malo,
where, I regret to say, I could not follow it, because
such are the crowds, and such the demand for horses
and voituers, that to go to St. Malo was to run the
risk of never reaching Rennes in time to witness
those files which are to mark the conclusion of his

THE " REVEREND" MR. SPURGEON.—Mr. Spur-
nem] made his first pulpit appearance in Ireland on Tues-
day evening, in one
i of the Presbyterian churches in Bel-
fast. His audience s described. .as being numerous and re-
spectable. The Northern lag concludes ft notice of his
sermon, which is reported at some length, in these terms :
—" We cannot deny that Mr. Spurgeon is a remarkable
man, and we do not wish to deny. that be has elements of
power and forcible expression which
command the atten-
tion of his audience, and of
his celebrity are questionable, and

ministrations as the next. From pulpit discourses such as his
we cannot hope for any real or lasting benefits to society, or
to the cause of Christianity.. The functions of the Apostle are
in him too much overlaid with the an'ics of the mountebank
to be productive of any permanent impression. The bril-
liant passages in his sermons, and the bursts of eloquence
to which he occasionally gives utterance, are sadly marred
by dramatised scenes of vulgar irreverence ; and, if last
night's discourse be assumed as a fair sample, the thoughts
of self intrude too constantly to impress the congregation
with any belief is the absolute sincerity of the preacher's
declarations. We are bound, therefore, to repeat, that in
out opinion Spurgeopism is an extravagance.

On the foregoing statement the journal referred to shove
says :—" The cardinal, verily, is ticketed at a high price.
Dr. Cullen's poor' flock are continually su'ering under a
p •.:ess of priestly phlebotomy. Now, the pretext is Donegal
destitution; again, it is a Byrne Estate Fund, a Priest's
Defence begging-bag, or some other form of organised re-
sistance to the public peace and the country's welfare;
thirdly, and more frequently than ever of late, it is a sacred
raffle for chapel purposes, or such a wretchedly theatrical
display as that which is about to bless with a solemn
high mass' every man' at Ballinasloe who has a couple
of shillings to spare, and evesy woman or child' who can
borrow or steal a twelvepenny bit.
" Rome, against the spirit of the Gospel, of which she
understands nothing, is a respecter of persons. Stand back
from the mass all ye of the canaille whose purses cannot
afford somewhere about a crown-piece for the luxury. There
is no benediction for you. The lowest price, even for a place
afar off, among the promiscuous herd, where but a stray
drop of the beatific rain of grace may fall—if the priest
administering should happen so to intend—is 24 peace, or
two days' pay of the harassed labourer ! Talk of rent !
The Irish peasant gives more to keep the priest's tongue
from off him' than he does for the house in which he re-
sides. The harshest lords in the island are the mass lords.
"Let us still admit, however, that it is amazing condes-
cension in such a divlaity as Cardinal Wiseman to show
himself in Ireland at all, and let us pay our 40s. for four'
with as pleasant a face as circumstances allow. It is not
every day that the spiritual gifts of the papacy are dispensed
by so mighty a magnate, and we (if a Romanist) could get
over the loss of a pair of pound notes sterliag in consider-
ation of the return that always springs from such invest-
ments to those possessed of Vaticanesque faith in lively
exercise ; but, ods-bodikins collection after the ser-
mon' in addition ! That really is carrying the joke too far."

IN RE TOWNSEND, M.P. FOR GREENWICH.

A few days ago an examination meeting was held under
the bankruptcy of John Townsend, an auctioneer of Green-
wich, and M.P. for that borough. It was then adjourned,
in consequence .of the accounts, though prepared, not hav-
ing been filed, the accountants, Messrs. Butler and Cannings,
having refused to part with them until their costs had been
paid. An arrangement, however, was made in the course of
the proceedings, by which Messrs. Butler and Cannings con-
sented to take a portion of their costs (C5O in all), to be paid
at once, and deliver up the accounts, and thereupon an order
was made that they should be placed on the proceedings on
or before the 23d inst. This has already been done, and the
following is a copy of the balance-sheet as prepared by Messrs.
Butler and Cannings. It commences the Ist Ju1y,1852, and
ends the 29th March, 1858, embracing a period, therefore, of

NORTH DEVON.

The half-yearly report to he presented to the proprietors
on the 2.5 th states that the directors have the satisfaction to
remark that, c.msideting the state of the receipts of the rail-
ways of the Uni,ed Kingdom generally, they may con-
gratulate the shareholders of the North Devon Railway
that tl:e traffic has been as well sustained as nnmost of the
hest lines, and better than on many of the railways of longer
standit g. The gross earnings for the last six months,
toiling 30 h June, 1858, have been £10,500, as compared
with £10,803 for the correspoadiog hall-year ef 1857. The
dive,ors have further to remark that th-1 receipts from the
30th June to the date of this report have increased bevond
the corresponding period last year, showing that the slight
falling ell' befure advorted to may he fairly attributed to the
gener,l depression in trade. The net revenue for the past
half-Fear, as derived from the rent (afier paynant of interest
on debentures and preference stock), shows a balance of
£1,207, which will allow of a dividend at the same rate as
last 1 alf•year, viz :-16s. Bd. per cent. on the ordinary stock,
and leave a balance of £75 to he carried forward to the
next half-year. The chairman and deputy-chairman have
recently inspected the line, and they have reported that the
works and permanent way are well sustained. It is under.

THE FORGERIES AT WIGAN.

On Tuesday morning John Pollard, proprietor of
the I Wigan Examiner, and also of the Colliery
Guardian, published at Crane-court, Fleet-street,
London, was brought up, on remand, at the Wigan
Police-office, on a charge of forging certain scrip
transfers, and of tampering with other documents
connected with the Wigan Union Benefit Building
Society. The magistrates were J. Ingram, W.
Park, and I. C. Leach, Esqrs.
Mr. Milton said he appeared on behalf of the
Wigan Union Benefit Society, and he had then to
ask for a further remand, as they were not in a
position to enter into the case as fully as they
could wish, in consequence of the books being in
a much worse state than could have been antici-
pated. They might go into one or two cases, but
he hoped the bench would think it best to remand
the prisoner for another week, when they would be
able to lay before them evidence such as to warrant
his committal on several charges. An accountant
from Manchester had been going through the books
but had not yet completed his investigation. He
could not mention the extent of the defalcations,
as they were not quite certain as to the correct-
ness of the figures.
Mr. Marshall, on behalf of the prisoner, said
that he had io objection to the application. He
had to ask the magistrates whether they would ad-
mit the prisoner to bail, as they had the power to
do so ; and if they thought fit they had only to
name the sum.

Mr. Hilton certainly could not agree to that.
He thought the magistrates ought not to admit him
to bail, as a:very considerable amount was involved.
He thought that under the circumstances, and until
there had been an investigation as to the number of
the cases (for there were a great many), the prisoner
ought to remain in durance. If this were not the
case the ends of justice might be defeated.
The Bench stated it as their impression that they
were hardly justified in taking bail.
A further adjournment to Tuesday next was
then agreed to, Mr. Hilton considering that it
would be that time before they would be able to
lay a complete account before the magistrates.
Since the examination on Tuesday last the com-
mittee have been engaged in making an examina-
tion of the books of the society, which they found
in such a disordered state as to take a considerable
time before they could report upon them. Up to
Saturday evening it was, however, confidently as-
serted that, as far as the examination went, the
total amount of forgeries and defalcations was near
£1,400, several hundreds more than was at first
anticipated.—Manchester Guardian.
