liament, this Company now offers to future insurers four-
fifths of the profits, with Quinquennial Division, or a low rate
of premium without participation of profits.

when all participating policies which shall have subsisted at
least one year at Christmas, 1859, will be allowed to share in

reversionary bonuses added to the policies have exceeded
£913,000.
At the last valuation, at Christmas, 1834, the Assurances in
force amounted to upwards of £4,240,000, the income from the
Life Branch in 1854 was more than £200,000, and the Life As-
surance Fund (independent of the guaranteed capital) exceeded
£1,700,000.

miums may have their lives insured at extra premiums.

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." Ile 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-
culturcl 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, Newgate-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.

THE SUN,

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.
The Royal mail steam-ship Niagara, Captain
Millar, which sailed from Boston on the 25th ult.,
and touched at Halifax, N.S., on the morning of
the 27th, arrived here at half-past eight o'clock
this evening. She brought 50 passengers, but no

specie.
The screw steam-ship Anglo-Saxon, hence, arrived
out at Quebec on the 22d, and the Royal mail
steamer Canada, also from this port, arrived at
Halifax on the 24th ult.
There is no political news of importance by this
arrival, and the excitement in regard to the Atlan-
tic telegraph cable appears to have somewhat sub-
sided.

The New York. Times says :
" There is no more effectual damper upon enthu-
siam than an encounter with apathy where there
was reason to anticipate wild sympathetic excite-
ment. The other day the enlightened but blase
population of this city relaxed into an unusual dis-
play of delight at the triumph of the Atlantic Tele-
graph. Common modes of giving their satisfaction
utterance were inadequate. They became children
again, and kindled their bonfires, set their windasts
in a blaze, exploded their rockets, and wasted their
gunpowder. One day would not answer to deliver
so bulky a burden of joy ; another was assigned to
be agreed upon in unison with those heroes of
Cockaigne, Gog and. Magog, when the full volume
of rejoicing was to be issued, and fires of popular
enthusiasm burned out to the very embers. In due
time Gog and Magog, through their organ of the
English press, were heard from. They too, had
heard of the telegraphic victory. They had re-
ceived the first electric shock from that vast bat-
tery, the New World.; they had. realised the full
import of the era thus opened to the race. Did
they caper ? Did. they dance ? Were their old
war-clubs brandished with exultant delight ?
Were bonfires -and windows lighted ? Were
rockets and. powder burnt ? Not at all.
The announcement of a fresh addition to the
Royal family, the gazette of new honours to
the Phippses, the report of a later mutiny on the.
Jumna, could not have been hailed. with profounder
gravity, or commented upon in cooler blood. The
magnetic spark started not one throb of excite-
ment. The American enthusiasm was without echo.
No Dirk or Jan of the Rotterdam Exchange could
have received. the news with apathy less disturbed,
passed more stolidly to the customary order of the
day. The fact operated as a " modest quencher "
upon our exultation. To-day the approaching cele-
bration is still discussed, but there is evidently no
popular feeling about it. There is a general but
suppressed conviction that a fortnight ago we were
guilty of national silliness. A trifle of the old co-
vert regard for what the world, the British world
especially, may say, still lingers. We would fain,
by more than natural stateliness hereafter, redeem
the puerile guilt of the first explosion. The idea
of effecting arrangements with the Lord Mayor of
London is no longer entertained. The flush of
excitement has given place to a flush of shame. In
fact, we should be abundantly gratified could we
get out of the business, and have no more said about

Upon the whole, however, says the Times there is
no occasion for shame or self-regret on the part of
the people of New York. One citizen of that state
was the leader of the enterprise, while another made
the magnetic telegraph a practicable thing, there-
fore Our grounds of exultation are entirely au-
thentic, and as

' A little nonsense now and then,
Is relished by the wisest men,'
go into the celebration of next week, dear reader,
with restored heart, and give your shamefacedness
to the winds. You have something to rejoice
about."

The joint committee of the New York Common
Council, on the celebration of laying the cable
across the Atlantic, had agreed to have invitations
extended to the Paesident of the United States, all

the foreign Ministers at Washington, the governors

approaching celebration,andpartake m-icelesti-vities
of New York. The New York Chamber of Com-
merce had passed resolutions expressive of the gra-
tification felt by the merchants at the successful
laying of the Atlantic telegraph cable. A com-
mittee was appointed to procure suitable testimo-
nials to be presented to Capt. Hudson and the offi-
cers of the Niagara. Capt. Preedy, of the
Agamemnon, is to be similarly complimented.
A telegram from New York says
"We understand that the French Government
have granted to the Atlantic Telegraph Company
the exclusive right for 50 years to land telegraph
cables on the islands of Miquelon, which lie between
Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, in a direction
about 30 miles south-west fro*he latter, and about
200 miles from Sydney, N.S. Raving secured the
right, the company propose to run a cable from
Placentia Bay, N.F., to St. Pierre, the chief fish
depot of the island, and thence to a point near
Sydney,. Cape Breton, N.S. By this means the two
French islands will be thrown into telegraphic
communication with Europe, while the company
will get rid of the necessity of keeping in order
some 400 or 500 miles of land line running across
Newfoundland and Cape Breton through regions
where there are no inhabitants excepting a few
scattered Indians, and no roads other than those
which have been constructed by the Telegraph
Company at its own expense. In according this
liberal grant, the French Government had in view
the advantages it must confer upon its immense
fishing interest, which centres at St. Pierre, and
which will thus be brought into daily and almost
instantaneous communication with France."
The War Department at Washington had re-
ceived despatches from Gen, Johnson, from Utah to
the 22d July, but they contained nothing of general
interest. The troops were erecting temporary bar-
racks, and preparing to go into winter quarters.
The steamship Poydras, belonging to the Tehuan-
tepec Railroad Company, had foundered at sea. No
lives were lost.
Official returns of the recent election in Missouri
show that the legislature was democratic by more

than two to one.
General Walker, the fillibuster, was in New
York, engaged, it is said, in perfecting his scheme
for another expedition to Nicaragua.
The Washington Union publishes the proclama-
tion of the President giving effect to the commercial
treaty with Siam, negotiated by Townsend Harris,
Esq., in 1856.
A Washington despatch says :
" The Cass-Herran and Cass-Trissari treaties are
still under consideration, as also are the appoint-
, ments to the Havana and London consulates and
the mission to Paraguay, but none of them are de-
finitively determined upon as yet." .
The yellow fever continued to prevail extensively

in New Orleans. On the 21st ult. the deaths from
the disease amounted to 78, and for the week ending
that day they numbered 310. The disease had also
become epidemic at Charleston, and was carrying
off many victims.
The telegram recently received from America by

the Atlantic cable, reporting the death of the dis-
tinguished telegrapher, Mr. James Eddy, was erro-
neous. The deceased was Mr. James Eddy, the
general superintendent of the American Telegraph
Company.
An earthquake was experienced at Holderness,
New Hampshire, on the 24th of August. It shook
the houses considerably, but did no material damage.
We have received Havannah advices to the 19th
August. Sugars were firm and active, Nos. 11 to
12 of the Dutch standard being quoted at from 51
to 51 rials. The stock on hand is 140,000 boxes.
Exchange on London, 15 per cent. prem.
Canadian flour continued firm, with sales of about
600 bbls. at the above figures. Meal was dull, and
small sales were made at our figures. Wheat closed
with increased firmness and at an advance of about
2c. to 3c. per bushel for certain descriptions. The
sales embraced about 60,000 bushels, including
winter red, partly mixed, at 1 dol. 15c. to 1 dol.
25c. ; Michigan white, 1 dol. 20c. to 1 dol. 35c. ;
Milwaukie club, 1 dol. sc. ; Southern white, 1 dol.
35c. to 1 dol. 60c., the latter figure for prime ; and
white Kentucky at 1 dol. 60e. Corn was firmer,
but in moderate reques. The sales embraced about
25,000 bushels, including Western mixed, unsound
to good and sound, at 76c. to 86c., mixed Southern
at 88c., white ditto 88c. to 90c., white yellow was
nominal at 92c. to 93c. Oats were selling mode-
rately, at 46c. to 531 c. for State and heavy Western.
Freights continued dull and :engagements light.
