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 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 will cease. A. few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating
that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." lie tried
all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain.
lle then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was
wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, wad 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 celebrity arises solely from 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-street, Loudon, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

NEWPORT, ABERGAVENNY, AND HEREFORD.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was Leld at the
London DIN ern yesterday—the Hon. Capt. Fitzmaurice in
the chair.
The report said—" During the half-year ending the 30th
of June, 1858, there was expended and added to capital
£45,733 3s. 3..1. The ordinary sharescapitel amounted
10s. to
i.:547,260 Si.; the preference share capital to £2'.?2,835
6 per cent., and £102,494 5 per refit.; and the debenture
debt was. £363,947. The gross earnings of the half-year end-
ing the 30th of June, 1858, over 50 miles, amounted to
£31,676 18s. 2d., against £26,568 2s. 4d., earned over 43
miles, during the corresponding half-year of 1857. The
working expenses of the last half-year are 115,888 13e.
against £14,359 13s. Oth for the corresponding half-year of
1857. The net revenue of the half year amounts to £15,788
4s. Bd.; and this added to by the net balance of the last half-
year's account, viz., £BB6 10. 8)., gives an available ba-
lance of £16,675 ls. 4d. Interest on the debenture debt,
amounting to £7,95015. 4d., to the 30th of June last ; of
which £1,323, being the proportion due on capital expended
during the half-year, has been charged to capital, and the
balance is debited to revenue ; and after deducting interest e;
on 6 per cent. and 5 per cent. shares, amounting to £9,186,
a net balance remains of £862 to be carried over to the
revenue account of next half-year. It was not till March of
the past half-year that this company became eo

without corresponding advantage to the revenue; but the
directors are sanguine in their belief that a considerable
traffic will shortly be exchanged between the two companies,
to the benefit of bath. One of the results of a junction of e
this company's line with the Taff Vale line has been the
supply of Aberdare coal for the locomotive engines. The
directors anticipate a considerable saving in locomotive
expenses from the use of this coal ; and as other railway
companies are adopting it, it is not too much,to expect that
a very large traffic will ultimately arise for the general
locomotive service of the country. It is much to be regretted
that the prostration of trade, which was felt so severely in
Montnouthshire, as in all other mining and manufacturing
districts, at the time of the last half-yearly meeting, still
continues • -but it is a source of satisfaction that, notwith-
standing the' low rate of freight by sea, the additional con-
nections established between the Newport, Abergavenny,
and Hereford and other lines have enabled the company to
maintain its grass receipts, and, as is now the case, its mileage
earnings. It is also a matter of congratulation for the com-
pany that the Shrewsbury and Crewe line will be open for
traffic on the Ist of September next, thus affording the long-
promised direct line into Manchester from the South Wales
district. The bill which was before Parliament at the
period of the last half-yearly meeting, for the deviation of
the Aberdare Canal, has become an act, and the company
is now empowered to make the desired deviation. By that
act power has been also given to the company to convert
their debenture debt into debenture stock; and a resolution
will be submitted to this meeting, to enable the directors to
effect such conversion, by creating a stock bearing a per-
petual and irredeemable, yearly dividend of 4 per cent. The
substitution of a permanent investment at a fixed rate of
interest for one of a temporary and uncertain character,
will doubtless induce trustees and others to avail themselves
of such security; and the operation will effect a saving to
the company, not only in the amount of interest paid, but
in the constantly recurring expenses of renewal. The
Worcester and Hereford Bill, which was submitted
to and approved by the shareholders of this com-
pany, on the 25th day of June, under the Wharucliffe
order of the House of Lords, has now passed
into an act ; and the Newport, Abergavenny, and
Hereford, the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton
and Midland Railway Companies, are severally empowered
thereby to subscribe any sun] not exceeding £37,500 to the
Worcester argil Hereford Railway. The Midland Railway
Company has been admitted a party to the traffic agree-
merit between this company, the Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton, and the Worcester and Hereford Com-
panies, with sucht modifications as the reasonable require-
ments of the Midland Company suggested ; all which were
approved and confirmed by the special general meeting of
the shareholders of this company, assembled for that pur-
pose on the same day. The subscription promised by the
Midland Company to the Worcester and Hereford secured
a vigorous prosecution of the works of the latter company ;
and the shareholders of all the companies, parties to the
agreement, having unanimously confirmed the same, the
lines of the four companies will, on completion of the Wor-
cester and Hereford, he worked as if each were au integral
part of one whole and continuous system, and the traffic
proper to the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford will
thereby be fully developed. Though circumstances have
conspired to retard the completion of the Worcester and
Hereford Railway, the shareholders will not forget that the
directors have always pointed to its accomplishment as the
contingency on which the ultimate prosperity of the New-
port, Abergavenny, and Hereford would have to depend ;
and it is to the want of this essential link in the chain of
comtnuuication between South Wales and the Midland
district of the kingdom, that the deficiency in the gross
earnings of the line, and the consequent want of dividend
on the original shares of the company, is to be attributed.
The agreement between this company and the Monmouth,
Coleford, and ITak Company for the working of the latter
company's traffic, having been terminated by notice front
the 11th day of October last, and this company's stock with-
drawn, the two companies have since continued to exchange
traffic on friendly terms; but relations have been recently
established under which this company is now supplying
them with locomotive power. The expenditure of the com-
pany has been an object of constant anxiety. In concert
with the stores committee the secretary has assumed the
management of the company's stores, and is solely respon-
sible for that department. By this consolidation of offices a
considerable saving in expenditure has been effected, and
other savings in this and other departments of management
are in course of being effected."
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
congratulated the shareholders on the earnings of the line
already, and the prospect held out to them of much greater
results. That they should have been able to meet all their
engagements, and to lay by a small sum for the future,
amidst such serious commercial embarrassments, could not
be otherwise than gratifying. They had no enemies among
other railway companies; on the contrary, they were all
ready to assist them, and to afford facilities for the develop-
ment of their traffic, and he believed that ultimately the
line would be an exceedingly prosperous one. He regretted
that the cost per mile had exc3eded the estimates, but it was
satisfactory to know that it was far below the average. The
board looked to the Worcester and Hereford Company as
their great ally, and he trusted that with its co-operation
the local traffic, as well as that in the direction of London,
would prove very remunerative.
After a short conversation, in which it was explaine that
it would require rather more than a traffic of L'2,000 ad -week
to pay 3 per cent. to the original proprietors,whilst the pre-
sent traffic only produced about £1,300 a-week, the report
was adopted.
The preference dividends were declared, and a resolution
moved for converting the debenture debt into a 4 per cent.
debenture stock; upon which
Mr. PRICE, M.P., said that though a little out of order,
perhaps lie might be allowed to make a few observations.
He was chairman of the Worcester and Hereford line, which
was originally promoted as a continuation of their line, but
.7eour circumstances it had not yet been made. Though their
line was open from Ifereford to Quaker-yard, yet it could not
be said to be fairly open to the public until it was connected
with Worcester and the Midland districts; and when it was so
opened, though he would not venture to predict what it
would produce, he believed it would go a long way towards
making up the £2,000 a-week they so earnestly desired. In
the last session of Parliament power had been given to the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company, the Mid-
land Company, and this company, to subscribe towards the
Worcester and Hereford, either in their corporate capacity
or individually, and an agreement had been entered into
between the companies which would secure certain advan-
tages to the Newport and Abergavenny Company on sub-
scribing £25,000. They could not do so in their corporate
capacity, because they had no money—(laughter)—but he
urged them to censider how it should be raised. A few
shareholders in the Oxford and Wolverhampton Compel:l
had taken up the £25,000 on behalf of that company; they
Midland proprietors had authorised their directors to sub-
scribe £37,500, and he expected to have the money in a few
days. The capital of this company was already about
£1,300,000, and an additional £25,000 would be but little
compared with the benefit it would confer on the line. The
capital would he issued at a discount, it consisting of shares
formerly taken up by the North-Western line, but
which had been given up on Parliament refusing them
power to lease the line. There was £2 4s. per share
paid on those shares, of which those who now took them
would have the benefit.
A SHAREHOLDER said it was of no use to hdk them for
more capital, as they were already cleaned out, and asked
Mr. Brown, a director, how it was the traffic which lie had
formerly predicted would come on the line when opened to
Quaker-yard, lied not yet been realised ?
Mr. BROWN explained that the Toff Vale Extension line
had only recently been completed, and that the coal-fields
in the Ebbw Vale and the other valleys of the district being
connected by tramways with the sea, the proprietors of those
trams would not at first extend them to the railway,
as they would thereby give up a carriage over twenty
miles of tram for one of seven or eight. The Ebbw Vale
Company and others were, however, now making a
eonnection with the railway, when lie believed that
iron and coal owners would at once come on the line, His
firm held from £45,000 to £50,000 capital in this company—

Mr. RODINooN explained that the low rate of freight by
sea could only be looked upon as temporary, it having ori-
ginated in the cheapness of grain, which had forced many of
the Baltic grain vessels into the coal and iron trade. To
show the development in traffic, he might state that iu the
first instiinCe the Monlgorneorshire did not contemplate
carrying passengers at ell, as there was not enough for a
three-horse coach. This company, however' offered them
£B,OOO a-year for it; and now, in less than 10 years, it was
producing £12,000.
The resolation was carried, and a vote of thanits siren to
