tuents of the Marylebohe Council , and that they will requiro this last vote to be rescinded . In juxtaposition to Marylebone , we have Lambeth , the authorities of that parish have acted in a thorough business like manner ; they received the proposition as gentlemen should meet gentlemen , and sent a deputation to Birkeiihead , and the report being favourable to the scheme , Mr * Train is likely to be successful in carrying out hi 3 tramways from the foot of Westminster-bridge * to Kennington-gate , a very advantageous piece of road for a trial . We also perceive that the Vestries of Shoreditch and Hackney are also favourable to Mr . Train ' s
proposal , and no doubt , before long , other localities will follow suit . We heartily wish the movement success , and so certain are we that these street railways are the things wanted , that must and will be , that we recommend " the Marylebone Vestry and the inhabitants of Baker-street and Portman-square , to put their houses in order , for so sure as the old stage-coaches were swept before the advancing express trains , so sure will the present lumbering stage-wagons , now call ; d omnibuses , have to succumb to the elegant , comfortable , and commodious street-railway cars . In our next we shall go fully into the construction and working of street-railways .

L % 3 t W 33 kclo 3 ed with consoh at 93 § , having recovered themselves in consequence of the comparative satisfactory state of present foreign relation ? , as" indicated in the Mansion-house speeches . Bullion had still been leaving th . > Bank , the amount intha cellars being £ 13 , 897 , 085 , or £ 230 , 788 loss than the previous week . A similar outflow had taken placa in France . On Tuesday last , £ 300 , 000 having been withdrawn from the Bank , the rate of discount was raised from 4 £ to 5 per cent . There has been another rise in the rate of discoxmt , which the Bank fixed at 6 per cent ., on Thursday morning . The bank of France raised its discounts from . 3 J to 4 £ percent , as this present week commenced . The Prince of Wales arrived at Plymouth on Thursday morning , and started for Windsor soon after coming on shore .
Mr . Train ' s proposal to lay down a line of street railways between Kenningtori-gate and Westminster-bridge , has been , favourably reported upon by the Lambeth vestry . The death of Mi * . Alderman Wire took place on the anniversary of his retirement from the mayoralty of London . This week we have to record one of the most atrocious anomalies that standout from the civilization of England in the 19 th century , like oannibalism . does in the customs of some localities at the present day compared with the usages of surrounding peoples . On Monday last the revolting spectacle of military flogging was seen at Woolwich . It ¦ would be incredible did we not see the system in practice , and as it is , it is altogether inconceivable that the authorities should not yet have learned that barbarious and brutalising torture such as this tends to increase the very evils it is intended to arrest by utterly demoralizing the wretched victims who are subjected to it , aud destroying in them every atom of self-respect .
Last Sunday the Kildare Club-house , at Dublin , was destroyed by fire ; and we regret to state three lives were sacrificed . The inquest on the deaths caused by the explosion on board the Tonning steamer , has been adjourned for three weeks . We have next to nothing in home news to record this week ; and even this announcement is— " no news . " The following letter , addressed to the members of the Royal Agricultural Society , appeared in the Times this week , which deserves perusal : — To the Members of the Royal Agricultural Society of England . My Lords and Gentlemen , — I beg you will allow me the honour of conveying to you , through the medium of the press , my grateful acknowledgments of the handsome manner in which you have responded to my circular of the 15 th ult ., which I took the liberty of addressing to you .
It is very gratifying to mo , indeed , to find that the trial which has already been made by members of your noble institution corroborates the fact that my Condiment has the effect of economising and making straw on the farm more than double its value if chopped up into chaff and seasoned with Thorloy ' a Condiment . This compound is just what is ¦ wanted , espqciully during the present wet season , for working off a vast amount of bad hay , making it palatable , and inducing the animal to eat it with avidity : and by mixing with strow-olialFthe Condiment , animals are enabled to extract more nourishment from it than they otherwise could . Agriculturist ? , and other owners of stock , are now , by the successful use of thia Condiment , beginning to experience that the value of food depends upon its perfect digestion . Chemically , its constituent elements may boot" tin highest value , but if imperfectly digested , what is the value of food to the animal which eats it ? It htfs been proved beyond
a doubt , that hay and straw properly seasoned with my Condiment is more nourishing than unseasoned food , although the latter may contain a muoli lnrgor amount of alimentary matter . Professor Anderson , recently referring to the transactions of the Highland Society , illustrates , incidentally , the value of my simple theory , now reduced to practice , which I nave , with untiring persoveranoo , introduced into the management and feeding of cuttle . He writes as follows : — " The offoot a food produces upon tho animul is often duo to flavour , or . to the presence . of infinitesimal traeoB of substances which uvado dolojtion . Tlio nutritive matters are the same in all foods , but it depends upon Ihoir flavour whether they aro readily oaton , or whether they aro so repulsive that tho animal avoids them until the calls of hunger become irresistible . In the latter case , of course , they Aiil to produce that effect which was to bo anticipated from tho amount'of nutritive matters oontainod in thoin . "
I may remark fchufc tho Editorial opposition to tho use of Condiment in tho eonsoning of food for animals with whioh I hnvo had to oontond , written by literary gentlemen in want of a eubjoofc , hue dono nn injury not bo rnuah to myself as to tho funner ¦ but row I / Ind that I have tho support of the boat scientific authorities in this country and Ameriou , it encourages mo to persevere in tho great work I have undortalton j and I

am now proud to be in a position to announce , in spite of all opposition , that , in consequence of the increased consumption—contracts for 100 tons per month , to supply our colonies and many of our first-class agriculturists , such as Peter Annandale , Esq ., of the Shorty Grore , Gfateshead , and others , who now order it by tons—I am enabled to reduce the wholesale price to £ 30 per ton—say , 20 barrels—delivered free by Hiy own wagons to any railway station in London . * I venture to invite the particular attention of every member who keeps horses , cows , sheep , or pigs , to the following observations , applicable to each of those animals respectively : — The Hokse . —No unprejudiced mind , who understands anything at all about the physiology of this noble animal , can read my testimonials without coming to the conclusion that Condiment to the horse i ' s invaluable in his trained state . The small quantity of food that support ! the horse of the Arab in Arabia and the East , is the surprise of
travellers . Now , not only does his food contain a larger amount of condiment , but the very water he drinks is sea » oned with it . Does not this , then , account for what travellers tell us about the " Arab and his horse I " And does not the absence of such condimental element account for the enormous quantities of food consumed by horses in this country , and the little work vast numbers of them can do for it ? It is estimated that in the metropolitan district alone , there are upwards of 478 , 600 heads of cattle , cows , horses , &c , tlie various owners of which , by using my Condiment , would effect a saving of 4 s . per week per head , which would show an aggregate saving of ninety-five thousand seven hundred and twenty pounds— £ 95 , 720 ! a-week , or four million nine hundred and seventy-seven thousand four hundred and forty pounds—£ 4977440 ! per annum ! !
, , The Cow . —By the use of my Condiment , Sir John Pringle ' s cowgave three times the quantity of milk , the quality being richer 5 so that upwards of three time ' s the quantity of the albuminous matter of her food was manufactured into the casein of the milk , matter which previously went to the- dunghill . Another cow , by the use of the same Condiment , works up into the milk more than four times the quantity of protein compound . A proportionally larger amount of all the other elements of food , including the Condiment itself , is also worked up into milk respectively in both cases , and in a thousand cases besides . who
The Sheep . —Mr . Bajlis , Mr . Ilcmming , and many others , have given my Condiment to sheep , record a favourable experience of its use . All declare their sheep to be healthier and freer from disease , where the condiment is properly given . Writers on the natural history of the sheep unanimously mention that this animal prefers Alpine andcondimental food '; and if the cause of disease in Scotland ( for an essay on which the Highland Society now offers a prize ) is a deficiency of Condiment in tho food of sheep—which is more than probable—tho prohibition of the exhibition of Thorley ' s Condiment at Edinburgh las i year places Mr . Hall Maxwell , I am afraid , in no very enviable
position . The Pro . —Numerous experiments are now being made with my Condiment on pigs—one or two of which are expressly to test tho valuo of the Eothamstead experiment , under the direction of persons , some in favour of Condiment , arid others aguinst its use ; and up to the present time , the pigs on seasoned food are gaining 291 bs . for every 121 bs . gained by pigs fed on ttwseasoned food—facts whioh speak for themselves . And I have no hesitation in predicting that Bingly Hall show at Birmingham , and Smithfield Show during the ensuing month , will tell a tale in my favour . Again tendering you my most respectful thanks for your kind notice of my recent circular , I am , My Lords and Gentlemen , Your most obedient and humble servant ,
