tuents of the Marylebone Council , and that they will require this laat vote to be rescinded . . ¦ ¦ . _ . . In juxtaposition to Marylebone , we hare . 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 this report being favourable to the scheme , Mr . Train is likely to be successful in carrying but bis 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 and no other localities will follow suit
proposal ^ doubt , before long , . 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 sacearnb to the elegant , comfortable , and coinmodious street-railway ears . In our next we shall go fully into the construction and working of street-railways .

RECORD OF THE WEEK . HOME AND COLONIAL . Imt we 3 kclo 3 ei with , consols at 93 £ , having recovered themselves in consequence of the comparative satisfactory state of present ' . foreign relations , asj indicated in the Mansion-house speeches , Bullion had still been leading tha Bank , ths amountin tha cellars being £ 13 , 897 , 085 , or j £ 230 ' 78 $ less than the previous vyebkw A similar outflow had taken plac 9 in France . On Tuesday last ,. £ 300 , 0 , 00 . having been withdrawn from the Bank , the rate of discount was raised from 4 $ to 5 per cent .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 Francs raised its discounts from 3 J to 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 dowria line of street ran ways between Kennington-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 stand out fromthe civilization of England in the 19 th century , like e ? innibali 3 m does in ' the customs of some localities at the present day cok ^ yred 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 iii 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 , and 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 ^ he 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 JJoyal Agricultural Society , appeared in the Times this wecki which deserves perusal ;—To the Members of the Royal Agricultural Society of England . MX LOBPSAND GjSNTMEMEBT , — '¦ ¦ . ¦ ' . ' . ' .. ¦ I beg you will allow nae the honour of conveying tp you , through the medium of the press , my grateful acknowledgments of the handsome manner in which you have responded to xhy circular of the l & th . ult ,,
which I took the liberty of addressing to you . It is very gratifying to me , indeed , to find that the trial which has already beenmade by membersi of your noble institution corroborates the fact that my Oqndirnent has the efltopb of economising and making straw on the farm more , than double its value if chopped up into ohaffand Beaconed with ThorloyV Condiment . This compound is just what is wanted , especially during the present wet season , for working off a vast amount of bad hay ^ making ib palatable , and inducing the animal to eat it with avidity : and by mixing / with straw-ohaft ' the Condiment , animals are enabled to extraot moro nourishment from it than they otherwise could . Agriculturists , and other owners of stock , are now , by the successful use of thia Condiment , beginning to experionco that the value of food depends upon ita perfect digestion . Chemically , its constituent olementa
may bo of tin highest value , bub if imperfectly digested , what is the value of food to the animal which eats it ? It has been proved beyond » < 3 oubfe , that hay and Btraw properly seasoned , with , my Condiment is more nourishing than unseasoned food , although the latter may contain a rauoh larger 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 have , with untiring peraoveranco , introduced into the management and . feeding of cattle , lie writes as follows i— " The effect a food produces upon thie animal is often duo
to flavour , or to the presence of mfinitesimal traces of substancca whioh ovadp del cation . The nutritive mattera are the same in all foods , but it depends upon their flavour whether they are readily eaten , or whether they are bo repulsive that the animal avoids them until the calls of hunger become irresistible . In << ho latter oaso , of course , they fail to produce that effeofc which wob to bo anticipated from the amount of nutritive matters contained in thorn , " I may remark that the ^ ditorinl opposition to the ubo of Condiment in the seasoning of food for animals with which X hayo had to contend , written by literary gentlemen in want of a eubjoot , has done nn injury not bo rnuoh , to rayeplf ns to the farmery but iiow I flnd that I have the support of the beet soientiflo authorities inthia opuntvy and America , it encourages mo to persevere in the great work I have 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 polonies and . many of our first-class agriculturists , such as Peter Anriandale , Esq ., of the Shorty Grore , Gateshead , 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 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 :-r-Thk 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 seasoned with it . Does not this , then , account for what travellers tell us about tlve " Arab and his Iiorse ?" 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 , the various owners of which , by using my Condiment , would effect a saving of 4 b . per week per head , which would show an aggregate saving of ninety-five thousand seven hundred and twenty pounds—^ - £ 95 , 720 I a-week , or four million nine hundred and seventy-seven thousand four hundred and forty pounds—£ 4 , 977 , 440 ! per annum !!
Tub Cow . —By the use of my Condiment , Sir John Pringle ' s cow gave three tunes the quantity of inilki the quality being richer ; so that upwards of three times the quantity of the albuminous matter of hor food was manufactured into the casern" of the milk , matter which preyiously 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 bot h cases , and in a thousand eases besides . . The SHEEP .- ^ Mr . ^^ Bajliaj Mr . Hemming , and many others , -n ; ho
have given my Condiment to sheep , record a favourable experience of itsuse . 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 aiiimal prefers Alpine and condhnentalyfood ' ' ; arid if the ^ cause of disease in . Scotland ( for an essay on . which the Hig hland Society now offers a prize ) is a deficiency of Condiment in the food of sheep—wliich is more ' thanprobable— -the prohibition of the exhibition Of Thorley ' s Condiment at Edinburgh las £ . year places Mir , Hall Maxwell , I am afraid , in no very enviable position . made with
The Pl & .---Numerous experhnents are novv being my Condiment dnpigs—^ or ie or two of which are expressly to test the value of the iBothamstead experiment , Under the direction of persons ; somein favour of Condimerit , and others against its use ; and up to the present time , the pigs on seasoned food are gaining 291 bs . for every 12 lbs . gamed by pigs fed on «» seasoned food-r—facts which 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 notico of my recent circular , I , am , My Lords and Gentlemen , _ - Your most obedient and humble servant , "" Joseph Thoblev ,
