IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.-
After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and olicake may be entirely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn,
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs.,
at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
far a draught horse, and superior in every respect to. three
quarterns of oats, costing 70. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1
ewt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my
own waggons to any station in London. Nothing less than
21 cwt. sold at the manufactory, and orders must be accom-
panied with cheques crossed, made payable to the inventor,
JOSEPH THORLEY. Steam Mills, Caledonian-road,
King's-cross, April 8, 1861.

A FEMALE PEDESTRIAN.—On Saturday last the
streets of Windsor were crowded by persons assembled to
witness the performance of a Young woman who had under-
taken to walk from the Town-hall to Salt-hill and back
four times in four hours and a half, the distance being 20
miles. Precisely at 5 o'clock she made her appearance,
equipped in white muslin. She was a well-formed, geol..
looking person, about 20 years of age, and stepped off in
professional style, arms up, elbows by the side, and head
erect. She completed her task within the given time.
It will be remembered that Mr. Bewick, of
Threepwood, who was at one time a county magistrate, and
is a gentleman of extensive landed property in the county,
was convicted at the Northumberland Spring Assizes of
shooting at two sheriff's officers, and was sentenced to four
years' penal servitude. At the Northumberland Quarter
Sessions, held at Hexham, on Wednesday, a notice was read
stating that Mr. Bewick had been removed on the 6th of

TIM GREAT FIRE IN TOOLEY-STREET.----The in-
quest on the remains of the body of Mr. Peter Scott, dis-
covered in the ruins of the griNit fire in Tooley-street, was
held yesterday in the vestry of St. Olave's Church, before
Mr. Payne. All that was left of the unfortunate gentleman
was a few charred bones, or rather fragments of bones.
The jury was composed of the same gentlemen who sat On
the inquest on Mr. Braidwood's body. The jury found
that the remains produced we re those of Mr. Pater Scott,
and that he came to his death accidentally by the falling
wall at the fire at cotton's Wharf, Tooley.street,

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Limited supplies of English wheat were received fresh
up to this morning's market. Fine samples were scarce,
aril they realised Monday's prices; otherwise the trade
was in a sluggish state, and the quotations had a down-
ward tendency.

We were well supplied with foreign wheat, and the de-
mand for all descriptions ruled heavy, at, in some instances,
a decline of is per quarter.

Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, ai
barely late rates.
A steady business was passing in malting barley at full
prices, but other sorts were quite neglected.

Malt changed hands to a limited extent on former terms
The oat trade ruled firm, and prices were well inain,
tained.

Beans realised extreme rates, and grey peas were quite as
dear as on Monday.

All kinds of flour moved off slowly., The top price of
town-made is now .55s per 2801bs. Country aaad foreign
qualities barely supported previous currencies.

was also resolved, on the motion of Sir Wis. Gibson Craig,
to petition Parliament for a member to represent the Scottish
Universities.

Female Disorders.r—How—nviluWa manyfemales allow funtnctional
irregularities to continue without regarding the ultimate
disturbance of health which they will inevitably induce
The first approach to disordered action should be met by
the employment of appropriate remedies, of which none are
superior to Holloway's Pills and Ointment. Whilst taking
them no restrictions need be placed over the patient; they
contain nothing which can possibly prove injurious to the
system ; they act by purifying the blood and regulatißg
every organ and function throughout the entire system.
The Pills sh: uld be taken according to the accompanying
directions, and the Ointment rubbed on the abdomen and
on the back twice every day for not less than ten minutes.

()N THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COLTRTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.
" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, throug a lng professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of h theo urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab_
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be fbund in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular.

BELGIUM.

The Belgian papers announce that, thanks to the-
energetic conduct of the authorities, the disturbances
at Gand have not been renewed. The strike, how-
ever, is not over. Tha Civic Guard had been called
out and nearly all the men had responded to the
call. They were served with ball cartridge, while
artillery and cavalry occupied the Place de l'Hotel
de Ville. The Civic Guard cleared the streets of
the rioters, and two of the ringleaders have been
arrested.

daughter of the first wife of the Duke of Cumberland, the
brother of George 111., has long been a resident in the Cape
Colony. After many fortunes he is now an overseer of the
convicts there on the roads.

FRANCE AND BELGIUM.—The Brussels Indepen-
dance of the Ist says :—We learn from a sure source that
the Treaty of Commerce with France will be signed to-day
at Paris. It is thought it will be before long submitted to
the sanction of the Legislature.

A letter from Vienna states that some experi-
ments which have been recently made in that city with gun
cotton have answered remarkably well in the case of the
infantry rifles. It is said to facilitate loading so much that
the men are enabled to fire 55 times in 91 minutes.
The precise amount of specie that will be taken
by the steamer Pera on Saturday is £169,293, of which
£1,200 in gold is for Alexandria, £1,200 for Ceylon, £5,698
in gold and £132,290 in silver—including £103,990 on ac-
count of the Government• for India, and £1,200 in gold and

THE RIGHT SORT OF " HOLY FATHER.''--The
Siecle commends to the notice of the Ultramontanists the
following, which has been circulating, in the form of a hand-
; bill, through the workshops of Paris .—" If the Holy
Father followed the example of Christ, and showed us by
his conduct that he was the chief disciple of his Master,
meek and lowly of heart ; if instead of talking about his
patrimony and his Peter's pence, he spoke to us of the
heavenly country and the treasures of faith and morality;
if, like his Master in the temple, he drove the traders out
of it that the whole edifice might be filled only with works
of purity, charity, and piety ; if, lastly, he gave ns the Hob,
Gospels for eur solo commandment, then it would be, who
should be first to welcome him ; then it would be repeated

' particularise. Three, moreover, has Ansdell, one of
these (59), a wonderful painting of " Hunted
Slaves"—one of the grandest pictures in the mere
scale upon which it has been produced, and one of
the most powerful in its character. The bloodhounds
are painted, each of them, by a masterhand—the
one that has just been destroyed by the hatchet of
the brawny negro at bay, especially. Three deli,-
cious pictures, too, 'are contributed by the young
associate, W. C. T. Dobson—each of the three sin-
gularly beautiful. Mr. Dobson (in 34) having cer-
tainly found poetry in the streets in his delineation
of a group of people clustered about a " Drinking
Fountain !" As to the portraits in the gallery
we have them as usual this year in abundance :
"How many pictures of fair dames we view,
All how unlike each other, all how true !
Arcadia's countess here in ermined pride,
And here Pastora by a fountain side;
Here Fannia leaning on her own good man,
An here a nakod Leda with a swan."
Among the " gentlemen " displayed in effigy upon
the walls, the public at large will look
with
interest to the portraits of Lord Broughton,
Lord Clyde, the Earl of Malmesbury, Mr. Loch
(recently prisoner of the Chinese), Colonel
M'Murdo and his daughter, the late General Sir
Charles James Napier's pretty little granddaughter.
As we quit the Private View of the Academy the
thought of old Burton comes back to us from one
of the odd nooks and crevices of his "Anatomy of
Melancholy :" saith he—

"A good -aicture is false veritas, et muta poesis ; and
though (as Vives saith) artfficialia deleetant, serf mox fas.
tidi2ntes, artificial toys please but for a time ; yet who is he
that will not be moved with them for the present ?"
Certainly not we ourselves. We.quit the gallery
after two delightful hours of lounging inspection of
the works of art now hanging on the walls—quit it
reluctantly, in one sense, for the simple purpose of
jotting down at once this, our first impression of the
Royal Academy 1861-Exhibition.
Amongst those early in attendance we noticed
the Duke of Argyll, Lord John Russell, Lord
Eversley, Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl and Countess

TEA.—The market has been very quiet, and at public
sale previous rates have been in most instances realised.
SUGAR.—For the better qualities of West India there
has been a steady inquiry ; inferior and low qualities of
foreign, however, have declined about 6d per cwt. In the
refined market prices are well maintained, owing to the
smallness of the quantity of goods on offer.
CoPFEE.—Limited dealings have been entered into, and
for some descriptions a decline of 6d per cwt. has taken
place.
RICE—The market has remained inactive, and no change
of importance can be recorded in values.
SALTPETRE.—For good and superior qualities there has
been a more active inquiry, previous quotations being
demanded.
TALLow.—There is no material alteration to report in
value. P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted 59s 6d, and last 3
months 55s to 55s 6d per cwt.

THE STRIKE AND THE BALLOT.

The following letter has been addressed to
Elector:—
•

Dear Sir,—l forward per this post a Bolton
Chronicle, in which you will find A leader recog-
nising the utility of the ballot-box " for once."
What is the " once ?" The strike at Bolton has
been ono of a peculiar character. Both spinners
and power-loom weavers have been ,on strike for
six weeks 'rather than stand a reduction of 5 per
cent. on their wages, which the masters stated
was necessary to keep them right. The spinners'
union officers advised the men to accept and ask
for a rise when trade improved. Their prudent
Counsel was clamoured down by many of the
younger and more thoughtless hands. A week
or so ago :a proposition was made that each mill
should vote by ballot whether the negotiation
should be settled by the committee. 'Phis was
really whether they should go in or not, and was
understood to be so, as the whole body knew
What the secretary's opinion was. A decided ma-
jority voted in the affirmative, and the strike was
virtually at an end with the spinners. Neaotia-
tions with the employers only remained, and they
resumed work this morning. Tho weavers who
have been out the longer period,• also balloted on-
the question direct----' Going in," or " Stopping
out;" and the majority, under protection from cla-
mour and abuse, voted for going on with their work
rather than begging from the public. They also
resumed this morning. Here we have an in-
stance of the power of the ballot which aristocrats
May comprehend. It is protection from mob rule
as well as against an oligarchy.
The newspaper is a Conservative-Liberal, and a
supporter of Captain Grey, who votes against the
ballot for electors; but-he will reap the: benefit as
a millowner of this last exercise of it. It is a paper
which favoured me with space for a long controversy
on the ballot two or three years ago. I hope we
may move on to-morrow. Yours, truly,

COLONIAL.

T EA.. —The market has been very quiet, and at public
sale previous rates have been in most instances realised.
SUGAR.—For the batter qualities of West India there
has been a steady inquiry ; inferior and low qualities of
foreign, however, have declined about 6d per cwt. In the
refined market prices are well maintained, owing to the
smallneSs of the quantity of goods on offer.
COFFEE.--Limitcd dealings have been entered into, and
for some descriptions a decline of 6d per cwt. has taken
place.
Rice—The market has remained inactive, and no change
of importance can be recorded in values.
SALTPETRE.—For goad and superior qualities there has
been a more active inquiry, previous quotations being
demanded.

TALLow.—There is no material alteration to report in
value. P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted 59s 6d, and last 3
months 55s to 55s 6d per cwt.
