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
season. 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
448 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.
N.B.—The public are cautioned against being imposed upon
by worthless imitations. -

HART'S PATENT ECONOMISING GAS
BURNER, the great desideratum of the age to all con-
sumers of Gas. By its use the objections to the introduction
of Gas into private dwellings are removed, inasmuch as every
particle of gas, on reaching the orifice of the burner, is fairly
consumed, and thus the diffusion of those noxious vapours so
injurious to health, and destructive to works of art, bindings
of books, &c., is entirely prevented.
The burner can be fitted by the most inexperienced hand to
any chandelier or bracket.

.An important popular demonstration has taken
place to-day. A great number of the principal
citizens assembled to cheer the Emperor in the
courtyard of the Palace.
The Moniteur also publishes the following de-
tailed bulletin of the passage of the Ticino :
The concentration of our troops on the Po
deceived the enemy into the belief that we in-
tended to cross that river. On the morning of the
4th, 125,000 of the enemy's troops were in position
opposite the Emperor, and the grenadier division
of the Imperial Guard NT as obliged to fight this
disproportionate force. All our generals displayed
great energy. The French general Wimpffen
was wounded in the head. The commanders of
the grenadiers of the Guard, Desme and Maudhuit,
were killed. The Zouaves lost 200, and the grena-
diers the same number. The bulletin then proceeds
to describe the operations of Marshal MacMahon,
who had to sustain a fierce conflict, in which he
lost 1,500 men, but put 10,000 Austrians hors de
combat, and made. 5,000 of them prisoners. The
Austrians had on their side four corps d'armee.
The bulletin concludes with the following sum-
mary : _ _

Five days after our departure from Alessandria
our army has be en engaged in three combats ;
gained one battle, and freed Piedmont from the
Austrians, who, since the conflict of Montebello
have lost 25,000 killed and wounded, 10,000 pri-
soners, and 17 pieces of cannon. Besides which,
we have picked up on the battle-field 30,000
Austrians' knapsacks.

" England and Russia have in the same terms
recommended us to observe strict neutrality, and to
maintain public order. France, more explicit, has
not hesitated to signify that if the least disturbance
should break out, she would be 'obliged, consider-
ing the present state of affairs, to intervene in
concert with England to suppress any movement'

BERNE, June 9, 4.30 A.M. (via France).
