THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.—Every
person having an interest in domestic or farm animals
should obtain a supply of this celebrated and economical
food, which will prove invaluable during the approaching
4eason. For keeping horses in'good condition it is unequal-
led. Pigs fatten with surprising rapidity upon it, and their
flesh increases in flavour and value. Cowkeepers will find
great advantage in the increased quantity and improved qua-
lity of the milk during its use. All animals are benefited by
it. A pamphlet on this interesting subject, accompanied by
Testimonials from the principal Nobility, Gentry, and Agri-
culturists, forwarded on application. In casks containing
148 feeds (measures enclosed), price 505., carriage paid to any
Railway Station in the United Kingdom. Post-office orders
payable to Joseph Thorley, 77, Newgate-street, London.

MALTA, DEC. 24.

The present war between Spain and Morocco preventing
supplies from being sent to Gibraltar, besides crowding the
place with refugees, not to mention the fact of the fleets of
France, England, and Spain being in the vicinity, and even
the troops at Algesiras drawing some supplies from Gibral-
tar, food has become very dear there Beef and mutton, of
the best quality, is 7d. per lb. Fowls, from 2s. to 3s. each ;
potatoes, Id. per lb; eggs, Is. 4d. the dozen. Bread con-
siderably cheaper than in Malta, at which place things are
slightly cheaper than last year. This being Christmas
time the market is crowded, and is abundantly supplied
with all the necessaries of life, and looks very gay, the meat
and fruit garnished with flowers and gold leaf, and taste-
fully ornamented with boughs. The show of meat, beef,
pork, mutton &c., is excellent, and poultry of the finest to
any extent, and very fine vegetables and fruit. Piles,
almost hills, of magnificent oranges, mandarins, egg
')ranges, blood oranges, and pomegranates, and melons in'
treat profusion. Prices—Best beef and mutton, 6d. the
ound of 14 oz. ; turkeys, from 3s. 6d. to Bs. each; sucking
ligs, 2s. 6d. to 4s. each ; oranges, 4d. the dozen ; manda-
ths, 6d. ; melons and pomegranates, id. the pound ; bread,
v id. the pound ; macaroni, 4d. the pound. All these are
ay dear for Malta, particularly the two latter. These two
iat are the principal food of the inhabitants, and their
..,"
"Nmess presses very heavily on them.
rom Christmas 1858 to 1859 Malta has very much im-
pi.r4ted. The governor has been a most excellent steward
\e land revenues, which he has administered most ably.
1, las greatly increased the revenue, at the same time he
'fl'aslicreased the value of Government property. He has
graled houses and shops on long improving lease ; and in
B°l4ol cases he has very judiciously remitted a portion of
r'n'l). condition that the tenants would lay out a sum on
anPr‘iing the dwellings. He has fairly inoculated the people
with
spirit of improvement and a taste for building.
'l▪
's -I\ induced a vast number of shopkeepers to pave their
shops lith black and white marble, and in other ways to
decork
them ; and for months past all the most respectable
ehopke,
Aers have been enlarging and beautifying their shops,
and P'ang additional gaslights both inside and outside their
doors, llzilding their signs and renovating their establish-
ments,
tad the result has been a vast improvement. The
Public bids and squares the Governor has personally super-
iatendo4
garnished them with trees and gaslights ; and
oreamerLect many of the public buildings, by recolouring
themorlubstituting coloured glass. St. John's Church,
lr of which was very dismal, is now really an
ornament, the town ; and few places can boast of cleaner
or better
Ipt streets than Valetta. He has also brushed
UP a" *.'e. Government enzployes, giving many uniforms,
end oblig
all to appear clean and respectable. The im-
PraTemen n the palace is something wonderful : the pas-
sages are 1‘ clean, well kept, and garnished with the ar-
mour of thill
ast knights of St. John of Jerusalem.
it is usl in Malta for the rich families to assist their
poorer neiglk
- 'ours with luxuries on Christmas-day, and I be-
lieve that tla
year there will not be a human being in Malta
gic;'l dinner and a glass of wine with it. I have
in all directions and from all classes, and I
lat not one of her Majesty's subjects in Malta
wed be hung,
-t on Christmas-day, but that every one will
be provided _
th good and wholesome food.
All that al..
a her Majesty's employ will not only have

comb
the luxuries, such as few poor in Eng-
