position.; in, which she was placed, was remanded

EXTRAOBIJINABY OUTRAGE BY THE
' CREW "OF A BRITISH GUN-BOAT.

A disgraceful riot, accompanied with serious
destruction of property, appears to have been per-
petrated. at the island of St. Vincent, British West
Indies, by the crew of one of her Majesty's gun-
boats. A. large body of liberty men from her Ma-
jesty's ship jasper were on shore, and avowed their
intention of-having come for the purpose of exe-
cuting Vengeance upon the person and property of
Mr. Abbott, the printer and publisher of the Mir-
ror, on account of sonic article reflecting on the
crew of the Jasper, which had been published in a
late copy of that paper. The Lieutenant-Governor
remonstrated. with the men and organised special
constables; and for a time
.restrained them. lie
writes in memorandum :—" About dusk a large
body of the Jasper's men, accompanied by some
other sailors from the vessels in harbour, marched
in h body, with formidable bludgeons in their hands,
up- the 'back *street, and evidently bent on carry-
out their threat of destroying Mr. Abbott's pre-
mise& I placed myself in their way, and endeavoured
to induce them to retire, but in vain. Rushing past
me, they took possession of the place, and soon made
it a complete ruin. Feeling that, whilst thus ex-
cited, they might carry out the rest of their threat
and attack. the police-station to get
.at Mr. Abbott.,
who was o*d:to take refuge there, I directed.
the bugle to be sounded, and the volunteers mus-
tered for the protection of the station, if necessary.
A considerable number attended, and were kept
under arms for some time, but Were subsequently
dismissed upon no attack on the station taking
place. In the meantime, the sailors having executed
their purpose) were returning through the to n
with a large and naturally very excited crowd fol-
lowing them. "Some rioting occurred, stones -were
thrown, and several persons injured, but no lives
were lost. Ata later period the sailors again sallied
forth to ,complete the work of destruction they had
begun at, Mr. Abbott's premises ; and. his printing-
press, fatthturo, and. other property were destroyed,
after which the sailors again retained to drink."
The, Lieut.-Governor has written to Lieut Pvm,
commanding the Jasper, requesting him to afford
facilities. for identifying the men.

iffETROPOLITJX RAILWAY BILLS, 4c.

The conics issued yesterday of Admiralty reports
under the Parliamentary Inquiries Act include vari-
ous metropolitan schemes.
To the West London Railway Bill their lordships
assent on the following conditions :—" That the
viaduct across the river Thames be only constructed
on plans previously approved of by their lordships,
and with such head ay and waterway as their lord-
ships may require. With respect to the branch ter-
minating on the north bank of the river Thames,
and the entrance from the river to the proposed
dock near the same place, their lordships have to
require that no works projecting into the river
below high water mark be executed except on plans
submitted to and approved of by the Admiralty."
To the Victoria Station and Pimlico Railway
Bill their lordships assent, on the condition that no
alteration be made in the structure from the plan
already sanctioned, without the further consent of
`the Admiralty.
In the case of the North London, Paddington,
Richmond, Hampton Court, and Kingston
Railway Bill, their lordships have only to
require " that the bridges or viaducts crossing
the Thames be constructed on such plans
and under such conditions as their lordships shall
require, and with such headway and waterway as
they may think necessary." A similar report is
made in the cases of the South Metropolitan and
Westminster Station Bill ; and the Victoria Station
and North-Western and Great Western Junction
Railway Bill. With respect to Branch No. 2in
the latter bill, their lordships require that no works
below high-water mark of the Thames shill be
constructed without their sanction.
Of the West London and Pimlico Railway Bill,
the i
Their lordships consider it

principle to carry a railway

along the banks of a navigable river for such a
distance, but still more so in respect to the Thames,
and in the metropolis, and in this case the more sor
as not perniitting of passages being formed either
over or under the railway. Their lordships further
object to the railway being carried for such a dis-
tance within the banks of the river, and occupying
so much water frontage, and therefore must with-
hold their assent to the portion of the line extending
beyond the first one mile and three-quarters."

ground as a benefactor to these interests ;
and nontwithstangd-
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 affects 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 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 will be
'realised, and rendered marketable in two-thirds of the time
usually consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore, becomes
apparent that a certain saving is effected by a fair application
of Thorley's Compounded Food. It is believed that the present
unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gene-
ral use, in preferencq to any other of the usual articles of
food ; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat is a

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,
o er
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 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 awarded.
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 coatinlletiOA Of nth'
high and distinguished patronage.
