[LEFT SITTING.]

We are requested to state that the name of the Hon.
Captain Hugh Annesley was, by some mistake, omitted
from the Division List on Friday evening, in which he
voted with the majority against Mr Horsman's motion
about the national defences.

We have reason to believe that Mr. Dallas has
recently placed in the hands of Lord John Russell • a
despatch from Washington in which it is stated that'thb
United States Government have resolved to abandon priva-
teering, ard thus to accept the declaration respecting this
portion of maritime law agreed upon at the Congress at
Paris in 1856.

WAR Snips IN THE MERSEY—The Nile (91)
has now received her full compliment of men, and will leave
the Mersey on Wednesday to join the Channel fleet. The
Nile, we believe, will be succeeded by the screw line-of-
battle ship Duko of Wellington.
The " Pardon de Ploermel," just produced with
immense success at Covent-garden, in Italian, is to be the
first novelty at the English opera in Miss Pyne's company.
That lady is to take Dinorah, of course.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—ThorIey's Food for Cattle is now
beginning to seriously attract the attention of the farmer,
breder, and feeder of stock. Two years of unremitting
care and attention have enabled its inventor to take high
ground as a benefactor to these interests ; and notwithstand-
ing the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled
against it and its probable utility, the food, from its admitted
value, will become a necessity to the agricultural interest.
Experience has proved, first, that it effects a considerable
saving in the consumption of provender; secondly, that it
produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to its
influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an
early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this
singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated
to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive
mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In this
he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural
desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap-
plicable to every description of domestic animal. The Eng-
lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an
unwillingness to rely upon its efficacy, fancying be possessed

food and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate than by the employment
or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this has

possessing the advantage of greatly invigorating the health
and increasing the physical power of all animals, is a tonic
and gentle stimulant, and when mixed with their other
food, materially assists their digestive powers—a matter of
great consequence, since it is an undoubted fact that the
nourishment contained in their ordinary food is lost, conse-

in restoring to good working condition horses which have
been over-worked, or become weak from disease, or are
naturally of a feeble constitution. In cows its effects are
undoubted, indeed almost marvellous, nearly doubling the
yield of milk and butter, whilst it at the same time enriches
the quality of both. In pigs its fattening qualities are still
more remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its manifest
superiority over every other kind of compound or manu-
factured food adopted in the feeding of swine. Such has
been its marked success, that at all our great cattle shows,
Royalty, noblemen, and others who have fed their cattle
on Thorley's Food, have invariably carried off the principal
prizes, whilst cards of commendation have been awe' ded.
The patronage of Royalty, of our principal nobility, the
clergy, and of our leading agriculturists, must prove a
great incitement to this gentleman to pursue his onward
course ; and he may confidently rely, in producing so
highly-favoured a compound, on a continuat;rm of such
high and distinguished patronage.
