THE BOMBAY MAIL.

(Froni- thd Daily News Coriesporidetit )
BOMBAY, JUNE 5.
• •

The subject which has most attracted our atten-
tiou 'and caused anxiety in Ttombay is the state of
the Southern Mahratta country. As month after
month passed whilst Delhi was besieged by the
British, Luoknow by the rebels, and Whilst insur-
rection vas rampant throughout a great part of
India, it was a ceaseless wonder that the Southern.
Mahratta country—peopled as it was with descend-
ants of the Peishwar old noblesse, all anxious to
revive the times when they wielded the power of
the State, should have been maintained in a condi-
tion of quietness and free from a general outbreak.
The mutiny of the 27th Regiment and the subse-
quent revolt of Kolapore—the rebellion, of a few
petty bands in:the country of Kulludgee--the rising
of the Rajah of Shorapore, each of which might
have been the cause of a general movement, bad
been circumvented by the energy of the Govern-
ment, not unaided by a modicum of good fortune.
But, notwithstanding these successes, the State of
the southern Mahratta country remained a source
of alarm to us, and a cause of anxiety to the Go-
vernment, whose information as to the sentiments
of many chiefs told them but too plainly that
nothing but extreme vigilance could enable them
to weather a storm ever threatening to burst. In
these districts as in those of Kbandish and Guzerat,
there was an obvious policy to pursue—that of dis-
armament. But to disarm a numerous population
imposing forces are necessary. No one willingly
parts with weapons of offence or defence. From
time immemorial arms have been borne by the na-
tives of India. Their swords, pistols, and match-
locks are heirlooms in their families, relics of times
when men's hands were constantly turned against
each other, when the spareness of populations and '
the breadth of uninhabited tracts rendered arms to -
cessary for defence from the attacks of wild carni-
vorous beasts. To deprive men of what they valued
as relies of the past and a means of future defence
for their personsfrom the assaults of man and beast,
was to touch them on the sorest point of Indian
character. It had an additional feature, which was
that it showed distrust. Disarmament was likely
to be looked upon everywhere as a punishment. It
was so alike to those who had traitorously fought
against the English government, and to those who
had not taken part in rebellion. From the former
it removed all chance of future success. It proved
to the latter that they were not free from suspicion.
The disarmament was unpopular wherever it was
tried, and therefore required either a display of
considerable force or' a certain amount of diplo-
macy. A judicious mixture of both was used in the
Southern Mahratta country. After the affair of
Kulludgee force was used with those who had stood.
out against us. With a few chiefs persuasion was
triad, and there appeared some prospect of success,
for they seemed penetrated with a respect for Eng-
lish power, but they were liable to be influenced by
the pernicious intrigues of others who were posi-
tively hostile, and resolved to risk their lives in an
effort at emancipation. To Englishmen the posi-
tion
of those who thus imperilled their lives seems,
sheer insanity. We cannot conceive any native be
lieviug in success against our arms, but there are ,
too many instances on record t o permit a shadow of
doubt that amongst a few chiefs the idea of English
power is altogether unappreciated. The Sawunt ,
Warrees, bordering on the state of Goa, have for ,
two or three generations rebelled, and no defeat
seems to have taught them the wisdom of peace.
These chiefs are now in rebellion, and ensconced in
jungles almost inaccessible to Europeans, they defy
us at present. Their neighbours the Dais ties,
Bheamia, Moondurgeo, and Chemgee, are equally
contumacious ; and though previous rebellious of
the same kind have ever failed, experience has not
shown them the prudence of yielding to our supre-
macy. These Daisaie chiefs wore the initigators of
rebellion in the Dharwar and
contelageatumwitcltlistrits.

were thus the object of solicitude from the rebels as
well as from ourselves was the chief of Nergoond.a,
chief or jagheerdar, whose fort lies about 50 miles
from Belgaum. Mr. C. H. Mauson, our political
agent, had succeeded in inducing this chief to sur-
render his arms. His fort contained several guns,
which at our request were taken out preparatory to
being carried to Belgaums—unfortunately want of
transport prevented this plan from being completely
carried out, and the guns remained in a village at
no great distance from Nargootid. In the meanwhile
the had been counter-working, and seemed
likely to succeed in enticing the chief to rebellion.
The Nargoond chief's kinsman, of Ramdroog, was
also reported to the authorities as disaffected.
Energetic action was necessary to bring matters to
an issue. Force was evidently required against the
Daisaies, and it was determined that force should
be used, but Mr. Manson, in the hope of avoiding
hostilities, determined to proceed to Nergoond,
through Ramdroog. Oa the 26th, accordingly, he
arrived with an escort of horse at the latter place,
and had an interview with the chief. This man is
young, and has but recently come into the property
he now holds. There seemed little reason to believe
that a man so circumstanced would throw away by
disaffection the fortune he bad but just chanced to
fall into : his protestations of loyalty were therefore
believed by Mr. Manson, and they parted on friendly
terms, the latter starting in the direction of Ner-
goond, in spite of the warning given by his musman
that Nergoond was in rebellion. Mr. Manson, cross-
ing the Mulpurba river with his escort, halted for
the night between Nergoond and Ramdroog, got '
into a palanquin under the roof of a temple, and
went to sleep surrounded by his escort. In the night
be was attacked by 800 men belonging to the chief
of Nergoond, and as he rose from his palanquin ho
was killed. Several of his escort were killed and
wounded. It was a daring act, politically, to commit
a foul crime on the person of the highest British
authority on their part, and was intended, no
doubt, as a signal for a general rising of the
Southern Mahratta country. The Daisaies were
out in armed rebellion round Gucluli Durnul, in
the Dharwar collectorate, and the chiefs Mounder-
gee and Hembgee held the fort of Kopul, on.the
borders of the Bellary district. The news of the
murder of Mr. Manson was soon made known at
Belgaum, where troops were immediately prepared
for service. Her Majesty's Seth and the 20th
Native Infantry, with artillery and a siege train,
partly went out on the evening of the 31st, and the
rest were to follow on the Ist of June, their desti-
nation being Nergoond. In the meanwhile troops
had been marched from Bellary, under the csm
"nand of Major Hughes, of the Madras army, and
the rebel Daisaies were encounters d at Kopul and
beaten, the two chiefs, Hembgee and Moundergee,
being, it is said, amongst the slain. Thu rapidity
with which these rebels have been crushed shows
.how carefully they have been watched. The Ner-
goond chief will probably share the fate of the
Daisaies, and the peace of the Southern Mahratta
territory will thus be restored. Five companies of
the 92d Highlanders are under orders to leave
Bombay for Wagolim, on the south coast, their deo-

Whilst disarmament is' tinia the source of trouble

It is time now to revert to the operations of the
Central Indian artily. Calpee has been taken by
Sir H. Rose without much difficulty. You may
judge of the deadly nature of the warfare our troops
are engaged in by the following letter, relating an
episode in the battle of Koonch :
Koonch in Jaloun was attacked by Sir H. Rose on the
7th. The enemy had taken up a position on the Poonch
road, and bad a battery of 12 grins en it. The 2d bri-
gade, under Brigadier Stuart, of the 14th-Dragoons, at-
tacked in that direCtioo. Orr, of the Hyderabad Con-
tingent, attacked from the Ait road, and the general
with the lit brigade circled round to the left towards
the Neddygaon road, Our making a flank movement,
and turning the enemy's batteries and dtf,nces.
The general-then advanced the Ist brigade towards
the town oaths side of the old fort, and there was a mu-
tual cannonading. The general now got knocked down
by the sun, and was obliged to lie down under a ttee and'
.have cold cloths and. water applied to his head. This
caused a delay of about 12 hours. When be got a little
strong be at ones mounted his horso. and putting him-
self at the head of the first brigade led it against the
town, took the old fort, wbich commanded the whole of
the enemy's position, and coon rendered it untenable.
The general wawa second time floored by -the sun, and
would have fallen from his horse bad he not been lifted
off. Water, &e, was again applied. In the meantime the
Hyderabad Contingent had also attacked a garden, and
two companies carried it to the right of the 21' brigade,'
but, as they were not supported they were obliged to fall
back.

In about 20 minutes the general again got better, and
sent off an order to Brigadier B;uart to attack, and the
general made straight through the town to take the
enemy in rear. Ifere he bad a third sun stroke.
The Dragoons made their first charge and killed 70
mutineers of the Gwalior Contingent, 32d, 12 b, 52d,
and other reiments.

There wai seine delay in Brigadier Stuart's advanc-
ing, consequently when he got into the enemy's position
every man had bolted. The general, recovering a little
again, got on his horse, and hearing that the pursuit was
slack btatted off at gallop, collected some horse and set
off in pursuit. 400 sepoys were killed, and nine guns
and much ammunition taken. The force did not get back
to camp 01 nine p.m., having been out since ten of the
previous night. 13 Europeans dropped down dead from
sun stroke, and many others are suffering from it. lu-
clud:ng these 13 we loot about 25 killed.
The general showed great pluck and much skill.
The next day (8 b) the force was obliged to halt, and
on the 9th it marched to Ilurdose, where four more guns'
were taken. Total, 13. The force on the 12th instant
wag at Sundee, fourteen miles from Calpee, in which
place there are about 8 000 or 9,000 rebels and mutineers,
with the .Ranee of Jhauseo, Tanteea Tepee, and the
Bandah Nawab.

His second brigade, under Brigadier Macduff, must
ore this have joined him, as they kit Nagode on the
15th. Bunde)kund Proper is said to ba fail of rebels

few troops in the Jub iulpore districts.

advance to that place and its subsequent capture :
Camp near Calpee, May 15.
To-day the Ist Brigade marched from Etowra to this,
six miles. During the march we saw a picquet of the
enemy's cavalry about a mile on our left, and between
us and Calpee. After the column had passed they
made a descent on our baggage, about the centre of
the line of it, and killed six bf the 25th, who were
part of the rear guard. Some of the Hyderabad Ca-
valry wtre also there, but when fighting began they
were nowhere to be seen ; one of them came into
camp for assistance. The main body of the rear guard
was about three miles to the rear of where this took
place, and the Horse Artillery and Cavalry came up at
a gallop, hut the enemy showed th-in a clean pair of
heels in nn time. We encamped on the right of the main
road to Calpee, with our right resting ou the Juwna—

16 h. This morning a reconnoitring party, composed
of two guns Horse Artillery, one troop 14th Dragoons,
two companies 86th Regi vent, and two companies 25th
Regiment Native Infantry, under command of Major
Gall, went towards Calpee. Tue road was found good as
far as surface went, but wound a great ma), and is ex-
ceedingly narrow; the country between our camp and
Calpee Is intersected by deep nuilalis ; the whole of the
infantry were iu skirmishing order, and advanced to
within 800 yards of the enemy's advanced post, when it
was found prudent to retire. the enemy seemed surprised
to find a force Eo near them, and began to show them-
* elves in hundreds. From this little business they took a
lesson, and on seeing how close we could steal on them,
immediately took posmeesion of the heights in front of
us, and now their sentries are pacing within 2,000 yards
of our camp, watching all our movements. On these we
ought to have an advanced post. The 2d Brigade are
still at " Etowas," and very heavy firing was heard in
their direction ; the enemy came out in force and at-
tacked them, capturing 50 of their camels. At 2 p.m. a
message came here for ateristaime ; the General, his staff,
two squairone of the 14th Horse A tillery, and 25th Re-
gimint, went out, but the enemy had retired before they
arrived. The latter had one 18-pounder gun, and horse
artillery working tee 9-pounders. Their movements
were quick and good. I
r2ney stewed to have been at once
aware of part of the let Illigade having gone to the 21,
as about three o'clock they came do so in force in our
front. The 86th Regiment were out in skirmishing- order,
and
two howitz •rs were brought to the front, and though
they had about 2,000 men they were driven back in style,
the belle bursting among them. We returned to camp
an hour before dirk, and all was quiet for the night.

yesterday, the enemy having again moved out against
them with their Horse Artillery, of which they are very
proud. The 71-t charged a vilage and drove them out of
it. Or, the other side there wore upwards of 2,000 of the
enemy's cavalry. During the skirmish a panic seized the
3d Cavalry, the heroes of ICOshah, and they galloped to
the rear, overturning everything ; in their way they
knocked two artillery drivers off their horses and rode

Oa our side the enemy have been busy throwing up
mounds of earth on the heights, and cover their right
across our front with large bodies of raen ; indeed, they
have had the audacity to Pitch a camp within 2,000
yards of our pickets, and kept up a desultory fire all day.
About 5 p.m. two mortars were brought to the front,
and were being put in position ; the enemy observed the
movement and showered down fro n the heights in skir-
mishing order, and supported by at least two regiments.
We had nothing in front but a picket of the Bth (about
30 men) ; these fellows came at such a pace that before
a couple of companies of the Stith could cinee up in sup-
port of the picket they were within 80 yards of us; the
two companies did come, and extending in skirmishing
order drove the enemy back. Casualties on our side
none, on the part of the enemy not known ; but a great
deal of ammunition thrown away on beef' sides.
18th.—The whole of last night was spent getting. the
mortars in position, and this morning they opened ; by
the time the third shot was fired their camp was struck
and all made off, leafing their sentries only on the
heights. A few shots passed between them and us
during the day, otherwise all was quiet. A sand-storm
this evening, which made every cne feel seedy and dis-
agreeable.
19th—Maxwell, with his brigade, made his appearance
on the other side of the river, which appears to have
rather astonished the enemy. He is farther up than we
a-c, and opposite the town. The enemy have again ap•

20th—This morning the enemy appeared in forco on
the heights, and in'the nutlet's in front, and kept up a
constant fire, every now and then coming close up in
large bodies. Half of WOolcomb's battery ordered to the
front, also two 18-pounders and a howitzer, a strong
picket of the 88th Regiment and two companies of the
25th. About 12 o'clock they tried to tarn our left flank,
at the same time coming forward in large bodies in front
and on the right. Some five or six-hundred of them were
on our left, I supposed ready to rush forward if their
skirmishers gained any•a-lvautoge over the 25th. How-
ever a well directed shell from 'the howitzer scattered
rbetn in all directi-ns, ki►ling numbers ; the mortars and
Q-pounders also did a great deal of darnaze among them,

,very much ; two officers
aid some ten or twelve' men were taken to the rear in
doolior. Toe enemy still showed an extraordinary bold
netts, and came along the nullahs to within 100 yards of
the guns. The 25th behaved exceedingly well, and were
much annoyed at not being allowed to follow the enemy
,up. They bad several men killed and wounded. The 86th
had two wounded, and Lieut. Jerome, who commanded
the picket,, got a severe-wound on the forehead. , There
never was mere harassing work for troops than this,
and in the middle of the hot weather it is dreadful ; every
one is anxious to go at the city, and the men say they
would

from sun-stroke.

CALPRII, May 25.
Calpee was taken by assault by our force, in conjunc-
tion with Brigadier Marshall's brigade, on the 23d.
Before giving you an account of the action, I Inuit tell
you that for five miles round and about Calpee, from the
inundations of the Justina river rid doubt, the ground is
frightfully ragged and uneven, and inipassable except by
intantryisated.thatlcie with the utmost .difficulty—steep
ravines, with yawning gulfe between. This "of coarse
proveed very advantageotie to the ineinirsirralrei okns.
no small annoyance from these recesses. On the 22:1,
the day previous to the storm and assault, the enemy
came out in full about fifteen or twenty thousand, chit fly
cavalry, and made bold to attack us. Heavy fire was
kept up till late in the day, when the cavalry, as usual,
skirted off The-86th slaughtered a fearful number on
the river bank, where it is said their infantry were so
thick abet the County Downs Here kicking them into
the water and popping them into ducks. The 7.let, ton,
did its duty. We bad the Camel Corps of Maxwell's
Brigade, who also did capital work ; hut for them three
of our guns would have been captured. The following
morning, the 23d, at 2 p.m., the whole force moved off
to the assault ; the infantry over the deep ravines and
the cavalry round to a road leading into Calpee ; but to
their great disappointment they discovered that the
greater pott.on of the enemy had made off during the
night. The few that remained, however, resisted des-
perately. Nearly all were slaughtered by the flying
brigade while escaping towards Agra. A sad number
mast have bit the dust on the 22d ; but it was impossible
to find this out, as they took the precaution for the first
time of carrying off their dead and wounded from the
battle-field on stretchers or dhoelies. When possession
was taken a Calpee and our flag craved proudly over its
wails, which was spat 10:a.m., the infantry alt,gotitsto=
the Residency out of the sun, and one of the 71st pipers
commenced a strathspsy on bid bagpipe, when all who
could kick a leg at all stepped out to it. The general
and ail the officers were in high glee at this. Sugar
and salt were strewed about in abundance, and
the resemblance between them was so groat that
many git sucked in by the latter. Our commissariat
suffered much from captures by the enemy, at a
time, too, when we could ill spare it. Thirty-eight carte,
with tea, sugar, arrack, and medical comforts, were
taken from the 2 I Brigade. Poor Conductor Roynane,
who was in charge, died about thevery time this happened
from sheer exhaustion. The day we were marching
to take up position before Calpee a body of the rebel
cavalry attacked our baggage and cut up a number of
cart men. One of the office clerks was Bela al. and begged
his life off by saying he was a writer to a B tnyab. He
had to give his horse, and rings set in pearls were torn
off his ears. Ou demanding his money ho said he had
only one rupee, which be gave up ; but the cunning
ebap, laughing and telling me of the affiair in dike, said
he had fifty rupees by him at the time. The enemy
hooked it on seeing the drapons. Calpee is a tine largo
place, with au arsenal on the river bank. It is high
time now tbat the Central India field force was quar-
tered ; they have done their duty, and no mistake. Our
men are suffering much from the heat. None were in-
jured on the 231 except by the effects of the sun. We
captured eight guns and two elephants on the 22d and
231 ; we also fired a royal salute yesterday, the Quotes
birth-day.

Sir Hugh Rose deserves the highest praise, as it
seems to me, for the manner in which he has per-
formed his duty. With 5,000 men he has overrun a
country filled with enemies, covered with nume-
rous forts, difficult of acce!ts by its defiles, and fatal
to troops, because no resources were available in it.
If it be urged that he delayed, it may be said that
to him these delays are not attributable. At Saugor
he had to bait for provisions and carriage. At
Jhansi be was detained by the Kotah rebels getting
into his rear, and threatening his communications.
The only fo: co which slipped through his lingers
was that of the Rajahs of Banporo and Shalzhur,
which escaped acros3 the Betwa from Major
Orr. They and the Boonlelas, who come out of
their jungles when our troops disappear, retook
Chandaires, Esaugur, and Malthoun ; but Chan-
dairee has been retaken by Brigadier Smith's bri-
gade, and Esaugur will have the same fate. The 2d
Brigade will go from Calpee to Gwalior, where bar-
racks have been erected for 2,000 men.

The presence of Colonel Maxwell, as you have
seen, contributed not a little to the easy capture of
Calpee, but Colonel Riddell's corps from Etawa
also did good in keeping the banks of the Jumna
downwards from Etawa in tho Dolts. Colonel Rid-
dell has had two or three brilli ant little engagements
with the enemy, which it would take too much
space here to record, but of which you will find de-
tails in the overland journals. The two column.,
however, were insufficient to prevent 3,000 or 4,000
men from getting over the Juana into the Doab,
and thence into Oude, through the Mynpooree dis-
tricts, whilst another gang, 1,000 or '2,000 strong,
got away lower down, and crossed the Gauges, be-
tween Cawnpore and Futtehpore.
0 ude itself swarms with rebels, against whom Sir
Hope Grant has been sent on two expeditions with-
out doing much good. On the first occasion, when
near Roy Bareilly, he came upon the fort of Simree
I which he found so strong that he was obliged to
retire, blowing up his ammunition. On the second
occasion, by a rapid march to Banner., he pre-
vented the concentration of the enemy on that
point. Of Oude it may he said with perfect truth,
that we hold nothing more than the capital and the
road from Lucknow to Cawnpore. Mann Singh
holds Fyz tbad. The Ghoorkas have gone home,
and Ghorruckpore and Bustee are held by Colonel
Rowcroft, who has been forced to move from his
entrenched camp at Betwa on the Gogra. He alio
has had two or three brilliant encounters with the
rebels, who are very numerous.
Rohilcund is quite clear of rebels. Shahjehanpore
was relieved early in May by Jones, who had to
repel an attack made upon him on the 15th by the
rebel cavalry. On the 16th Sir Colin Campbell,
who had marched from Bareilly, after leaving Wal-
pole with three regiments there, heard at Tilltur that
the enemy were in force at Mohumdie and on the
eastern side of Shabjehanpore. He accordingly
marched down on the 18th to that place, and on the
10th had a 'skirmish' with the enemy. He was
joined on the 22d by Coke'rs brigade, which bad
been out pacifying the districts of Rohilcund about
Pilibbeet. The rebels meanwhile stole round be-
tween Shahjehanpore and Futtehghur and plun-
dered Pelee Sancti and Munjuloo. Sir Colin, leav-
ing Jones td advance against Mohuindie, returned
by way of Jellalabad with a division to Futtehghur,
where he arrived on the 26th. Jones in the inter-
val advanced towards Mohumdee, which he took,
and the enemy retired towards Oude. Thus the
focus of insurrection is now pretty well confined in
Oude. The Ganges having risen renders the pas-
sage of the river difficult ; and now that the sum-
mer campaign is over care will doubtless be taken
to watch the ghauts and prevent the enemy from
leaving Oude.
Nana Sahib has gone off into the hills of Nepaul,
where Jung Bahadour, if he is still stanch, may
capture him. But it is supposed that the Nana
means to go off towards Thibet, and stay there.

from Oaliwe

FROM SIR HUGH ROSE.
From Calpee, Monday, May 31, via Cawnpore.
The troops sent by me in puisult of the Calpee senoys
and rebels took eight guns, of Which two are English
pounders of the Gwalior Contingent and two other horse
artillery guns of the rebels. Fifty guns were kept in the
fort, of which one was an 18. pounder of the Gwalior
Contingent, and two are mortars made by the rebels.
Twentf-four standards were taken, one of which is the
colours of the Kotah Contingent, and another a Velaitse
• standard. Most of the rest are the colours of the diffe-
reaeregiments of the Gwalior Contiegent. • The subter-
ranean magazine coctains 10,000Ibs. of English -powder
in barrels,- 9,0001b5. shot and empty shells—a quantity
of 8-inch filled with shrajinell-7-a cage of shot, siege and
bail ammunition fer:small arms, entrenching tools of all
kinds, tents new and ell, boxes of muskets quite new,
flint and percussions, al sorts of ordnance in great quan-
tities. The contents df this magazine are sepposed to
he worth two or- three lab he. There are three cr
four foundries for cannon in the town, with all the
requi-ites of a wheel and gun manufactory. A. box has
been found containing
,moat important correspondence
belonging to the Ranee of Jtansi, which throws great
light on the revolt and its principal authors. Every-
thing proves that the rebels s.considered Calpee and
arsenal a point of great importance, which they intended
to keep to the' last, and that they only abandon it RI
consequence of the Revere defeat which they sustained
at Galowlee on the 20th instant, and the panic caused
the unexpected appearance of my forcO befog,' Cilpee.
On the following morning ;five or ea hundred. Sepoys
were killed in the ptiFsuit,'Which- was checked as want
by the intense beat of the sun, which knocked up men
and horses. The Sepoys are quite disheartened and
disorganised; they throw away their arms, have left
their red jackets, and disguised themselves, in order
not to be known as Sepoys.

merous, and determined to 'stick to the jungles.
A number of ' Sepoys, who were killed, appear
to have had the belts of the 40th Native Infantry
on them. This corps formed one of the Dinapere Brigade.
The sepoys are reported to be very much out of condi-
tiereas if they had suffered severely from heavy march-
log and paucity if food. ' On our side, up to the latest'.

result of the measures adopted for his relief."

HOOSHEARPORE—W leern from Hoo-hearpnre that
on the_ night of the sth Inst. a:diabolical plot was provi-
dentially discovered. It appears that sours sepoys of *the
left wing 4.-11 Regiment NJ., variously estimated at from
15 to 20 in-number, had conspired to murder their officers
and, then to desert. We understaud that the plot was dis-
covered only an hour or two previous to the time
appointedefor putting it into execution. . Prompt mea-
sures were adopted, the wing was paraded and kept
on

removed, and the fines searched. A oonsidereele
number of arms have been already dieceverei, and '

Six ef the villains have already paid the penalty of their
intended crime on the gallows, and four have been eel -
tenced to transportation, three for life and one for four-
teen Tears. The plot would have insured the murder ef
every European in the station. The rascals were then
to have made their escape into Rohileund. • '

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
hid 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 wonder-
ful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks, bad
gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural
shows at Birmin,gham, Cardiff, &c.,'lhe an'mals 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 conclu-
sion, that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits,
and the grei,t 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, Ne wgate- street ,
London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.
