The Queen has been graciquily pleased to 'confirm the
graZt of the decoration of the Victoria Cross to the under-
meationed'officer Of-her Majesty's army, which decoration
has been provisionally conferred upon him by the Com-
mander-in-Chief in India, in accordance with the rules laid
down in her 31ajesty's*Warrant instituting the same, for
an act of bravery performed by him in that country, when.
carving under his personal command, as recorded against
. .
his name, viz. :

Lieutenant' Francis Edward Eleliry*Farquharson-42d
Regiment—For conspicnous bravery, when engaged befcire
'Lucknow, art 'thb 9th March,,in having led a portion of hie
companY, 'stornied 'a bastion mounting tWo""glihs, and spiked

Wounded, While-holding an advanced position, on the_niOrn.
ing of the, Wth, of Nardi.

Her Majesty.haaalso been graciously pleased to signify
her intention td Confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross
on the undtlynentiened officers and privates of her Majesty's
Army and .Indjau Military Forces, whose claims to the same
have been: submitted for her -Majesty's -approval, on - ae-
count of acts of bravery performed by them in India, as re-
corded.against their several names; viz. :
Privates Walter Cook and Duncan Millar, 42d Regf-
ment—ln the action at MaYlah Ghaut, on, the 15th. Jan.,
1859, Brigadier-General Walpoie reports that the conduct
of Privates Cook and Millar deserves rte be particularly
pointed out.. -:;.A1 the time the fight was the, severest, and
the few men of the 42d Regiment were, skirmishing so close
to the enemy (who were in great numbers) .that some of
-the men 'were wounded by sword' -"cuts, and the ohly
officer withette ..42d. was carried to the rear, severely
wounded, and the Colonr-Serjeant was killed, these soldiers
went to tho front, took a prominent part in directing the
Company, and displayed a courage, coolness, and discipline
which was the admiration of all who witnessed it. ;

Lieutenant William George Cubitt, 13th Bengal Native
Infantry—For having on the retreat from Chinhut, on the
30th June, 1857, saved the lives of three men of the 32d
Regiment, at the risk of his own.

Lieutenant Hanson Chambers Taylor Jarrett„, 26th Ben-
gal Native Infantry—For an act of bravery at the village
of Baronn, on the 14th October, 1858, on an occasion when
about 70 sepoys were defending themselves in a brick
building, the only approach to which was up a very
narrow street, in having called on the men of his regi-
ment to follow him, when, backed by only some four
men, he made a dash at the narrow entrance, where, though
a shower of balls was poured upon him, he pushed his way
up to the wall of the house, and beating up the bayonets of
the rebels with his sword, endeavoured to get in.
Private John M'Govern, Ist Bengal Fusiliers—For
gallant conduct during the operations before Delhi, but
more especially on the 23d June, 1857, when he carried
into camp a wounded comrade under a very heavy fire from
the enemy's battery, at the risk of his own life.

The large amount of Mexican dollars brought by
the last packet have been sold at 601 d. per oz., showing
decline of id. from the price realised for the limited quan-
tity by the previous steamer. The bar silver has been dis-
posed of at 62d., which shows a reduction of id.

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
pdheseeirem

unwillingness to rely upon its efficacy, fancying he possessed
in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed
and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate than by the employment
or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this food has
been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as a cheap
•
addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasmuch as in
all cases a subtraction of one-third may be safely submitted
to in the usual food of animals ; and that the produce win be
consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore becomes
realised, and rendered marketable in two-thirds of the time

of Thorley' s Compounded Food. It is behevedthat the present
apparent that a certain saving is effected a fair• •
unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gene..
rid use in preference to any other of the usual articles of
food ; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat is a
invigorating the health
nourishing and proper food for the working horse, certtenl •
y
all animals, is a tonic
it is not for cows or pigs. Mr. Thorley's Food, besides
possessing the advantage of greatly
and increasing the physical power of
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-
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 qualities are still
more remarkable, displaying in a few weeks its manifest
superiority over every other kind of compound or menu-
factured food adopted in the, feeding of swine. -Such has
been its marked success that at all our great cattle 'shows,
