      tuents of the Marylebone Council * , and that they will require this last vote to be rescinded . , T , , , ¦ ,... In juxtaposition to Mary lebone , 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 Birkenhead , and the report being favourable to the scheme , Mr . Train is likely to be successful in carrying out his tramways from the foot of "Westminster-bridge to Kennington-gatei a very advantageous piece of road for a trial . We also perceive that the also favourable to MrTrain

      Vestries of Shoreditch and Hackney are . 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 Mai-ylebone Vestry and the inhabitants of Baker-street and Portnian-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 called 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 . .

      RECORD OF THE WEEK . HOME AND COLONIAL . X / iSt wesk closed with consols at 93 j , having recovered themselves in consequence of tlie comparative satisfactory state of present foreign relations , asj indicated in the Mansion-house : speeches .: Bullion had still been leaving thus Bank , ths amount in the cellars being £ 13397 , 085 , or £ 2 , 'S 0 , t 88 less than the previous weak . . Asimilar outflow had taken place in . Franee . On Tuesday last , £ 300 , 000 having been withdrawn from the Bank , the rate of discount was raised from 4 £ to 5 per cent .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 discount , which the Bank fixed at 6 per cent ., on Thursday morning . The bank of : Franca raised its discounts froni 3 Jto 4 £ per cent , 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 raii ways between Kehnirigton-gate and Westminster-bridge , has been favourably reported upon by the . Lambeth vestry . : The death of Mr . 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 civilisation of England hi the 19 th century ; like cannibalism doe 3 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 jet have learned that barbarious and brutah \ sing torture such ag this tends to increase the Very evils it is intended to arrest by utterly demoralizing the wretched victims who are subjected to it , and destroying in them every atom of self-respect . - . .

      Imt Sunday the KUdare Club-house , at Dublin , was destroyed by firij ; iand we regret to state three liyea 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 j 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 . . Mr LOBD 8 ANP (^ ENTIjEMEN , — ¦ . ,

      I beg you will allow me the honour of conveying to you , through the medium of the press , my gratefui . ackrtovviedgmrints of the handsome manner in iwhiqh youhave responded to my circular of the 15 th ult ., which I took ; tite liberty of addresaing to you . It is very gratifying to me , indeed , to find that the trial which has already Ibeen made by membora 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 ' s Opndimenfc . Thia oompound is just what is wanted , especially , during the present wet season , for working off a vast amount of bad hay , inaking it palatable ,, and inducing the animal to eat it with avidity : and by mixing with straw-ohaff the Condiment , animals are enabled to extract moro nourishment from it than they otherwise could , Agfioulturiaifcflj and other owners of stock , are now , by the successful use of this Condiment , beginning to experience that the value of food itconstituent elements

      doponda upon its perfect digestion . Chemically , s may bo of th » highest value , "but if imperfectly digested , what ia tho value of food to the animal which eats it P It has been proved beyond a doubt , that hay and straw properly seasoned with my Condiment ia more nourishing than unseasoned food , although the latter may contain a muohlargpr amount of alimentary matter . Professor Anderson , recently referring to tho transactions of tho Highland Society ,, illustrates , inoidontally , the value of my simple theorv , now reduced to practice , which . I have , with , untiring perseverance , introduced into the management and feeding of cattle . Ho writes as follows : —' " Tho affect a food produces upon the animal is often duo to flavour , or to tho presence of inflnitooimal traooa of . eubstanpes which evade detection , Tho nutritive matters are the same in all foods , but it depends upon thojr flavour whether they are readily eaten , or whether they arc bo repulsive th , at the animal avoids thorn until the calls of hunger , become irresistible . In the latter oase , of course , they fail to produce that effect which was to bo anticipated from the amount of nutritive matters contained in them . "

      I may remark that the Editorial opposition to tho use of Condiment in tho seasoning of food for animals with which I have had to contend , written by literary gontloiiaon in want of a subjeot , has done an injniy not bo much to myself as , to tUP farmer ; but now J ftnd that I have , tho eupport of the beet soiontifloftuthoritiosjn this country and America , it encourages mo to poreevwo in the great work I harp undertaken 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 , G-ateshead , arid 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 my 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 Horse . —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 is invaluable in his trained state . The small quantity of food that supports 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 tellusabout the " Arab and hishorse V 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 , ( pO heads of cattle , cows , horses , & c , the various owners of which , by using my Condiment , would effeet a saving of 4 s . per week per head , which would show ail aggregate Eaving of ninety-five thousand seven hundred arid twenty pounds ^ - £ 95 , 720 ! a-week , or four million nine hundred and severity-seven thousand four hundred and forty pounds—£ 4 , 977 , 440 ! per annum !!

      TiiE Cow . —By the use of my Condiment , Sir John Prmgle s cow gave three times the quantity of milk , the quality being richer ; so that upwards of three times 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 . and otherswho

      The Sheei ?;—Mr . Bajlis , Mr . Hemming , many , have given my Condiment to sheep , record a favourable experience of its vise . AH declare their sheep to bo healthier and freer from disease , where the condiment is properly given . Writers on the natural history of the sheep unanimously mention that this aninial prefers Alp ine and condimentalfood ; and if the cause of disease in Scotlan d ( for an essay on which the Highland Society now offers a prize ) is a deficiency of Condiment in the food of sheep—which is more titan probable—tha 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 Pig . —rlSTumerous experiments are now being made with my Condiment on pigs—one or two of which are expressly to test the value of the Rothanistead experiment , under the direction of persons , some in favour of Condiment , arid others against its use ; and up to tho present t ime , the pigs on seasoned food are gaining 291 bs ; for every 12 lbs . gained by pigs fed b , n M » geas 6 ned food : —facts which speak for themselvea . And I have no hesitation in predicting that Bingly Hall show at Birmingham , and Smithfield Show during the ensuing nionth , will tell a tale in my favour . . ¦ Again tendering you my most respectful thanks for your kind notico of my recent circular , I am , My Iibrds and Gentlemen , Your most obedient and humble servant , Joseph TuoBtEy , TJ » o Inventor and Sol * rropriotor of Offices and Steam Mills , .
