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." He tried all kinds of things to get
the animal into condition, but in vain. lie 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 than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, Am, the animals which
earned 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 seat post-free.

OFFICIAL DESPATCH.
(From the London Gazette of last Evening.)

ADMIRALTY, SEPT. 27.
With reference to the despatches from Rear-Admiral Sir
Michael Seymour, K.C.8., the Commander-in-Chief of her
Majesty's ships and vessels on the East India station,
dated the 21st May last, inserted in the Supplement to the
London Gazette of the 27th July, 18.58, the following de-
spatch has been also received from Sir Michael Seymour,
by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.
Coromandel, at Tientsin, June 1, 1858.
Sir,—Owing to the short time I had to prepare my de-
spatches, after the capture of the forts at the mouth of the
Pei-Ho, I omitted to inform the Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty that the Cormorant, the leading ship
at the attack, had to force and break a heavy boom
of bamboo cables drawn across the channel, upon
which the fire of the enemy was concentrated ; a descrip-
tion of the boom is inclosed. I should also have men-
tioned the essential services rendered by Captain Rode-
rick Dew, in her Majesty's steam gun vessel Nimrod, the
fire from her formidable broadside having mainly contri-
buted to destroy a sand bto• battery of 19 gains, upsetting
nearly every gun in the work.
I enclose a statement of the troops in the batteries, trans-
lated by the Rev. Mr. Martin, from muster rolls picked up
in the forts, amounting to 3,200. This is independent of
the large encampments of troops which were in rear of the
position.—l have, &c.,
(Signed) M. SEYMOUR,
Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief.
Secretary of the Admiralty, London.
H.M.S. Cormorant, River Pei-Ho, May 21.
Sir —I have the honour to inform you that, in obedience
to orders received from you to examine into the size and
description of the cables stretched across the rivers which
the ship under your command had to force her way
through, under a heavy fire from the batteries on both
sides of the river, the first set of cables were seven in num-
ber, made of 9-inch bamboo rope, and buoyed the whole way
across the river with spars of- about 19-inch, and moored
with Chinese anchors. -

The second set of cables, about 200 yards north of the
first set, were of the same size and description as the first.
—I have, &c. (Signed) W. H. FAWCKNER,
Master Commanding Hesper.
Commander Saumarez, H.M.S. Cormorant.
