that a certain saving is effected by a fair application

unprecedented low price of wheat lam Produced its very gene-
ral use, in preference to any other of the usual articles of
food ; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat is a
nourishing and proper food for the working horse, certainly
it is not for cows or pigs. Mr. Thorley's Food, besides
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
nourishnient contained in their ordinary food is lost, conse-
quent upon the impaired or defective action of the digestive
organs ; it will also be found to be particularly beneficial
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 qualitiesares
more remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its manifest-

At the banquet given last evening by the LORD
MAYOR to the Bishops and Clergy, Lord JoilN
RUSSELL made his first speech as Foreign Minister,
and expressed his sincere hope that peace would be
preserved, so far as this country was concerned, in
her present state of neutrality. We earnestly hope
so too, and much of that hope must rest on his
lordship's administration of our foreign rela-

tions. But we cannot conceal from ourselves
that Lord JOHN will have an arduous task of it.
For, in the first place, he will be badgered. by irre-
sponsible Court favourites ; and, in the second, the
King of the BELGIANS will use every ruse and
every persuasion to overcome any patriotic reluc-
tance to enter into a war in which the people of
this country have no concern whatever, save as
being well-wishers to the emancipation of Italy.
England has never entered into a war to
assist the Germans, but in the end she
had, or was left to pay the piper for all
their misdoings ; and so she would in the pre-
sent instance, for the brave Germans of the
redoubtable " Fatherland " snatch all the glory,
and leave their friends to count the gains in money
lost, thousands of lives sacrificed, and all to no pur-
pose. Surely the present Government will not
submit to such degradation, seeing the spirited
manner in which Lord DERBY'S Secretary
for Foreign Affairs spoke out to the Austrian
Government, and appealing to the feelings of the
people of England, as a proof of how much the
nation abhorred the conduct of Austria to the poor
Italians.

The news to-day seems to point to strong
stragetic movements on the part of both armies.
Indeed, it is said that a preliminary battle has been
fought, and that the Austrians, as usual, retired.
There can be little or no doubt that a grand battle
must shortly take place, which may prove decisive
of the campaign, if not of the war.
And what have the Austrians gained since they
insolently crossed the Ticino? Why nothing—verily
nothing, save what they took by pillage from
the poor unarmed and inoffensive peasantry.
Well, but what have the Austrians lost in
their marauding retreat ? Why, they have lost
thiee or four sharp battles besides the great one at
Magenta. They have left in the hands of the
Allies fortress after fortress, besides warlike stores,
artillery, provisions—in short everything which in
their hurried retreat they could not carry away.
And this is the Grand Army, swollen by successive
additions, till at last they could not be numbered.
Yes ! this is the army with which the Emperor
FRANCIS JOSEPH was to rivet the chains of Italy to
the end of time! Poor misguided man! blest with
councillors too wise to see their way, and too pre-

sumptuous to take advice. They acted on their
wishes and totally miscarried in their hopes. And
such we trust will be the fate of all who endea-

your to trample on the freedom of men as good,
and in fact, better than themselves. The public
will see that the neutrality of some of the German
States is only to be recognised so long as it serves
the purpose, for the Austrians have broke through
it for the passage of their troops into the Tyrol.
But they may soon learn to repent their temerity,
for two can play at that game and turn the tables
on their aggressors.

Some of the Sunderland Liberals do not, it seems,
appreciate the uncompromising Liberalism of their
new Member, Mr. LINDSAY. We readily acknow-
ledge that the vote of " no confidence" was one
respecting which sincerely Liberal electors, as well
as members, might conscientiously differ. We do
not for a moment impugn the motives of those who
concurred in that vote. It would be both arro-
gance and injustice to do so. On the other
hand, we claim, with Mr. LINDSAY, the liberty we
so cordially concede ; nay more—the House having
settled the question for the present, we, and we
doubt not Mr. LINDSAY, and those who think with
him, will heartily support the present Govern-
ment in every liberal movement, and in all their
policy which we can approve, as much so as if
our views had triumphed. We argue for our own
plan while it is of any use to do so—when
another is preferred, if it be but directed to the
objects we approve, we will make the best of it for
its object's sake.
We can but feel, however, a little surprise that
the Liberals of Sunderland did not rather complain
of the ultra-Liberalism of Mr. LINDSAY, than of his
resemblance to their old Conservative member.
When the Anti-Corn-Law League paid no respect
to any Administration ; when it declared that it
regarded only the measures at which it aimed, with
no respect of persons whatever, it was reproached
with ultraism ; not with leaning to Conservatives.
Such a charge against Mr. LINDSAY we could
comprehend. He sees, as he thinks, and as we
think, that more Reform might have been ob-
tained from the Tory 300 in the Commons, and
the large Tory majority in the Lords, than can be
got from a small majority of the Commons, to
which the Lords will assuredly think themselves
bound to pay but little deference. It is no use
disguising the plain facts of the case ; and we take
them to be these :—Mr. DISRAELI and his chief
were disposed to bid fairly for popular approba-
tion, after they had received so considerable
to their numbers, and yet were
minority. It was just the position to
iann
aacseniesaslilon
make them hopeful, without allowing them to go
to sleep. They had been encouraged by an
acces-
sion the,
of thirty votes to try and overcome
majority of thirteen, as it turned out to be, aoinst
them. Men will concede a good deal in such cir-
cumstances, because they can do it honourably, and
hope for a reward worth seeking.
Then, as Mr: LINDSAY says, the Lords would
have stood by them ; while it is perfectly certain
that they will avail themselves of every pretext to
defeat a measure from their political opponents.
The Liberals might have made a Tory Bill a
thorough good one in committee, and have passed
it this or next session. But what are the probable
prospects of a Whig Reform Bill ? Why, if we
are not mistaken, it will be little if at all better
than one proposed by Tories, as the latter are now
situated. But what the Tories would have done or
accepted in office, they will oppose on the opposite
benches. Of course this will be termed pure, un-
mitigated faction. Yes, faction, much after the
fashion of the other side, and of all sides. But we,
like Mr. LINDSAY, look to things as they are. We
cannot afford to leave out of the account the success
of our measures, and to demand that only one party
shall pass them. We are as pleased to get the
Abolition of the Property Qualification, and the
Emancipation of the Jews, as if Lord JOHN

RUSSELL had given them to us ; though w e are
not so sure whether he would not, after all , have
higgled a little about the former. And the plain
fact we take, therefore, to be, that we a 3 :e less

likely to carry any Reform Bill worth havin g than
we should have been under Lord DERBY.
But what now will the present Ministry have
the heart to offer ? Are they a Cabinet to throw
themselves on the country by a measuro which,
like Mr. BRIGHT'S, would have raised the. enthu-
siasm of all classes ? Are they prepared even to
confer the Ballot at all, which alone would carry
any bill out of doors of which it formed a part ?
If so, why is Mr. BRIGHT left out ? But we are
pointed to Mr. COBDEN, holding the same views ;
and to Mr. MILNER GIBSON. Mr. GNBSON is a
very quiet radical, though he has of late years
always professed the radical cause. ?s r. COBDEN
was, very conveniently, away ; and, almost as con-
veniently, he is known, partly from purely personal
reasons, with which we all sympathise, and partly
from temperament, desirous to remain out of office.
Most likely he will not accept the proffered ap-
pointment—honour we can hardly call it—when he
would rather honour such an office than the office
him. In that case, doubtless some old stager like
Mr. WILSON will be put in ; not, we presume, the
alter ego in the opinions of Mr. COBDEN, the member
for Birmingham, to whom the reversion should
fall. We take the exclusion of the most efficient
orator on the Liberal side to mean, that nothing
approaching his standard is to be thought of.
The press of all parties marvels at the treatment of
Mr. BRIGHT. His strongest opponents honour-,
ably acknowledge his unquestioned ability and his
claims on his party, while the purely party papers
only twaddle about his self-denying patriotism in
not demanding a seat in a Cabinet filled out with
several respectable mediocrities. This we think
contemptible. Let the truth be spoken. A bill
worthy of Mr. BRIGHT'S sanction, as Tribune of
the People, is not in contemplation. The Sunder-

land electors will find that we have a Cabinet
practically as Conservative as that for which Mr.
LINDSAY, as a Radical Reformer, voted, because of
two sets of Conservatives, he thought it would
do most for us.

However, time will soon show. If the new
coalition—a coalition of unquestioned ability—
disappoint our fears, none will be more rejoiced to
acknowledge it than we shall. We do wish to be
true prophets, though we choose to be faithful
ones. Let the present Government bring forward
a bill which the country will force the Lords to
accept, and we will do full justice to the boldness
of a RUSSELL-PALMERSTON Cabinet.

We may surely congratulate ourselves at last
upon having discovered the veritable author of the
little handbook of " Hints on Etiquette." It can
be no other certainly than Mr. TRAILL, the police
magistrate of Greenwich, whose hand has penned
that oracular treatise upon social amenities. Two
such authorities upon etiquette cannot by possibi-
lity, we should imagine, be contemporaneous. Our
age could not reasonably expect to be so highly
favoured. Therefore, and in obedience to one of
the most obvious laws of probability, we may take
it for granted as a thing incontrovertibly proven
that Mr. TRAILL, and Mr. TRAILL alone, the Green-
wich police magistrate, is, must be, the author of
" Hints on Etiquette." We have been led to
this remarkable and deeply-interesting discovery
by a case brought before the worthy magistrate upon
Wednesday last, the fifteenth of this present month
of June—a charge of assault being then and there
preferred by a City clerk, named JO3HUA FENTON,
against one Mr. RICHARD WHITE, gentleman (?),
of Orchardleigh Villa, in the Borough of Rother-
hithe. It appears from the reporter's account of
this peculiar little police-case that the complainant,
a few days back, at about a quarter to six o'clock
in the evening, was on the outside of an omnibus
riding from Gracechurch-street to Rotherhithe.
Together with others then on that omnibus, our
City clerk was smoking. It matters nothing at all
whether he was smoking the choicest tobacco-leaf
rolled into a cigar a guinea a whiff, or the merest cab-
bage-leaf dried in the sun and soaked in tobacco juice,
and then popularly called by the name, style, and
title of a Penny Pickwick. He was smoking, as
we have remarked ; others were also outside that
omnibus, when upon reaching London-bridge, de-
fendant, without addressing himself apparently to
any one in particular, observed, " Don't you know
smoking is not allowed upon omnibuses"—
thereupon at the same moment snatching the
cigar out of complainant's mouth, and throw-
ing it into the roadway. Contenting himself
with remarking—not a very surprising or a very
unjustifiable remark, surely, under the circum-
stances " Your conduct, is impertinent, " Mr.
JOSHUA FENTON, the City Clerk, attempted quite
naturally we conceive, and as he had a perfect
right to do, to light another cigar. Whereupon
quoth the defendant, " If you light it, I'll throw
you and your cigar off the omnibus." The com-
plainant, adds the reporter, lighted a cigar, and
thereupon the defendant knocked his hat off, and
scratched his face. Positive evidence is hereby
afforded of no less than three distinct
assaults made by the defendant upon the
complainant—first the cigar snatehed out of his
mouth and thrown into the roadway—secondly, his
hat knocked off after it—thirdly, his face scratched
into the bargain. Now, upon all these gross and
flagrant proceedings upon the part of the aforesaid
gentleman of Rotherhithe, observe the oracular
comments indulged in by Mr. TRAILL, the Green-
wich police magistrate. According to the reporter
Mr. TRAILL said—" No doubt the defendant has
been guilty of an assault, and acted in
a most dictatorial manner towards per-
sons as respectable as himself [a very left-handed
compliment by the way to the assaulted and in-
sulted city clerk], which [the manner, we presume,
and not the persons] was calculated to produce the
very opposite effect to that desired. There is no
]aw," added Mr. TRAILL, benignantly enlightening
the presumed ignorance of his hearers upon this
point, " againstsmoking on an omnibus, although
[he immediately took occasion to remark, with
much emphasis] it might be well that such
an act of Parliament should be passed."
Imagine an act of Parliament, Vict. 22-23,
such a chapter, such a section, to " put down,"
smoking outside an omnibus ! The idea is not un-
worthy of Sir PETER LAURIE. But to return to
Mr. TRAILL---the
reporter [suddenly advancing
from the third to the first person startled
probably by the oracular nature of the weighty
judgment he was reporting] adds as follows Hs
(Mr. TRAILL) had as strong objections as any one
to tobacco-smoke [hence of course his decision], but
was
very improper, and
not insisted on lighting
his cigar a
'scorncpolnadjuncatnt

second time, I should inflict
a fine." Now, listen to the authoritative voice
of the veritable original author of " Hints on Eti-
quette"—indulging us for the nonce with a sort of a
hint supplementary—" I wish it to be distinctly
understood [to all those to whom these presents,
&c., greeting] I wish it to be distinctly understood
that no person has a right to indulge in a habit
after being informed that it is offensive to his.
neighbour." Not a whisper, here by Mr. TRAILL,
