BY JOILN LINI)LEY, P.U.D„ F.&S., Professor of Botany in University College, London. A New Edition : with Numerous Alterations and nearly Four hundred Illustrations. This work was originally prepared, in haste, to meet a regulation of the Univeraity of London, by which it was required of all students, that, two years previously to proceeding to their first degree, the y should be examined, among other subject% in "The character. and differences of the principal natural classes and orders of plants be longing to the klora of Europe, in the botanical classification of De Claudette." The obvious purpose of this regulation was to make young men acquainted with the names and properties of the vegetation that surrounds them; so that, after receiving what is called a liberal education, they might not be thrown upon the world, ignorant of the names, at least, of the commonest plants of their own country. In the opinion of the author, the measure was aticulated to effect a real good, and to supply a wide gap in the common routine of a school, where it is in only desirable that some natural history should be introduced, if it be only to relieve the tedium of the less attractive studies to which young persons are necosarily subjected. But it was also important for the sake of its eulartantial utility. There may be a difference of opinion as to the advantage of spending much time upon the study of botany; but there is one opinion only ns to the importance of knowing the Triunes of the plants of which man has to make use, or which he is continually meeting with. There is not at the present day a person of any intelligence, ' , monad of such t hings, who does not regre t that some portion of his youth should not have been devoted to this kind of inquiry. The Dorsetshire gentleman f Horn who put himself to cowenaider able Florence trouble and no small expense t o carry o ig= d from to London, would have been saved the exertion had he known that the Hornbeam grew in abundance on his own estate; and it may be safely roiserted that every one of that celebrated court party which discovered a prodigy in the beautiful tree in Windsor Park, would have been glad if their early eilueation had spared them the mortifica tion of learning from Lord M. that the tree in question was only the Spanish Chestnut. Whatever the future intentions of a student of botany may be it Is indispensable that the fi n t step t o be taken should be that of gaining an acquaintance with the caiumon plants of his own country. In the absence of that, he cannot mate a single move in advance. lie must neat master the rudiment s of the science, and maste of r them correctl him y. This little book has been prepared for the purpose en ibling to do so. It contains all that it is necessary to know in order to make have a fair beginning, and it includersno more; so thatany should the patience to master the whole contents of the volume, he would then be in a position to carry hisinquiries onwards with ease. But it is not really necessary to become acquainted with all the plants here mentioned. The reason why !..4 many species arc introduced, which are of small importance, is to enable the teacher to obtain at lei some mut eapecially of them to illu s trate his teaching. Local ciretunstrurces, and our uncertain seasons, will always render it T.eult to procure every thing here mentioned; but no conceivable circums tatters can, in this country, offer impediments to the examination of a large part. ! In selecting the subjects with which t arn a wl is to be made , acquainted, those have been generally chosen which are within any man's reach ; tine to render the acquisition of of thmm e more c al e nable the ' vu lgar names are a dded. A very small sum oney will e every schoolmaster to cultivate the whole in a garden, where they may be constantly at hand. In framing the technical characters of genera and species. all the more minute distinctions, the detection of which requires the aid of a micrircope, have been intentionall y dierefrardeel ; and attention is more ' 1 especially called to those which are elis tour; enough to be observed by any one having a pocket leis. the ''prin. Which of the European natural orders I regard as certain I eine." will be apparent , f rom t ....f. prominence given here to sutural orders beyond others. The teacher is not, however, mom- mended altogether to omit those which are stated to be comparatively I unimportant. The wisest course well be to make the saidente thoroughly acquainted, in the first instance, with the natural orders' which are marked from I. to LXXIII., and then to explain morel lgietly the differences of those to which no numbers are prettied. In conclusion, the teacher is particularly recommended to take Care I that. in addition to a small penknife, each Pi talent is provided with a 1 pocket lens of about a half-ineli foetus, and a few quires of paper ; the former to sasist him in examining, and the latter in drying, the fresh epecimens of plants daily brought before him. There is no I method so certain as the latter, to accustom young persons to esti mate correctly the differences between one plant and arother ; and, R is presumed, no one will think it teaching Iknany, without an ample supply of fresh specimens, which he may ilistnbute among I his clasp, fur the purpose of being examined and studied at leisure. Indeed, it is useless to study botany, unless this provision is made for the acquisition of those habits of oteery tM of m aa which render ' na t u ral history so peculiarly useful as a bruichmental training. When students do not enjoy the ads-antlm, of a competent teacher, their best plan will be to put this book into the hands of an ittelligent truslener, and to Induce him to furnish them weel.ly with the plants . that are named in it. At home they can compare the kindof which they may find with the plants thmmelrea, and this kind of praetice is, of all others, the most certain to lead to advan tageous results. None of the woodcuts employed in the first edition have been intreilueed on this occasion. Exiser;ence shows that, for purposes of teaching, it is indispensable that CIA much accuracy as ia attainable ' , hand he observed in preparing the illustration,. To the untrained eye, plans are too lunch alike in re,lity ; ill executed, or n en iu t e i ti diminished, woodcut; increase this resemblance, and conscsai y perplex more than instruct The cute now employed will, it is lisped, render it impoesisle that any mistake should be made by even the most inexpeneneed as to the plants to which they belong. The facilities, indeed, offered to artiata by M . r. Palmer's Glypho avilshic process, or analogous modes of crime. mg. which have been chiefly employed on this occasion, Rare little to desire on the score of accuracy. Tharersity College, London.

Catherine-street, Strand. whose conduct to the Queen when he was President of the Council in 1843 gave rise to debates in the Cortes, had te2come the subject of deliberation in the council of ministers ; but that probably nothing would i be decided upon it until the sentiments of the new ma- Ijority should be known. At the time our Paris correspondent closed his de spatches on Sunday, the ordinary mails from Madrid of the 12th, 13th. and 14th remained due, as well as the southern and south-eastern mails. The popular movement in Switzerland advances notwithstanding the open discouragement of the Northern Courts, and the secret opposition of the cabinet of the Tuileries. The committee for the revi sion of the constitution of Geneva has nearly termi nated its labours, the results of which are announced by the Reese de Geneve of the 16th instant. It will recommend an extension of the suffrage, the imme diate election by the constituencies of the executive council, which will consist of seven members, and the power of the electors, convoked in general meeting, to dissolve the representative council in case of a dis agreement with the executive. A reorganisation of the municipal constitution, so as to bring it into more complete harmony with the principle of popular sove reignty will also be recommended. The revision of the constitution every fifteen years by the electors is likewise suggested. The Grand Council of Berne held its first sitting on the 14th December. In his opening speech the pre sident notified in strong terms of condemnation the confiscation of Cracow. The judges of Lucerne have released, after twenty months of imprisonment, the advocate Schnvder, imprisoned in the last distur bances. Capt. Pfeiffer has also been amnestied. Each of these persons has been called on to pay a fine, the amount of which, in the case of Pfeiffer, is 6,000 fr. The representatives of the northern courts and of France, to mark their displeasure against the Liberal party, have removed their residences from Berne to Zuri . ch, although the former city will immediately be come the seat of the federal legislature. The oppo,i tion journals of Paris say that M. Bois-le-Comte, the French minister, has done so under the express orders of his court. This is a homage to the northern courts, a manifestation against the Swiss Liberals; and an earnest how little sincerity there is in the protestation against the Cracow affair. The English ambassador continues to reside at Berne. Some (;oneutes are mentioned as having taken place in the Jura. The advices from the generally flourishing city of Aix la Chapelle represent a state of great destitution among the poor and labouring classes of that city, and generally of the Rhenish provinces of Prussia. The communal council had conic to the resolution, in consequence of the dearness of provisions, of delivering out tickets to the necessitous, entitling them at a fixed rate of 95 centimes (about 9;d.) to ob tain Mib loaves of rye bread from the bakers, to whom the surplus price of 12 centimes would be reimbursed at the expense of the corporation. This mode of re lief, grateful and seasonable as it may be, will scarcely go far enough towards the relief of distress. The want of work, and of wages, wherewith to buy bread at all, or at any price, is the crying grievance or misfortune. The provinces of the Rhine are said to require 9,000,000 of hectolitres of rye still to meet their consumption, and for the sup ply theymust depend upon Belgium or Holland, or mostly upon the former alone, as the Dutch ports and internal river and canal navigation are now closed by the frost. From Salonica of the 19th ultimo, it is stated that the storehouses were encumbered wit grain, which only wanted shipping for its exportation. Affairs were arrived at that point that it was not known how to store the grain which was daily arriving from the interior. CITY ELECTIONS—Tins DAY.

THIS DAY. Four o Cock. By express this morning we have l'aris letters and papers of Suliday. The public distress in various parts of France con tinues to excite the attention and activity of the government. A report of the Minister of the Interior on this subject, appeared in the official journals on Sunday, accompanied by an ordonnance for extraor dinary credits to the amount of 3,200,000 francs to carry on commercial works, by means of which it was expected the population would be relieved in quarters which cannot be reached by the influence of the other and larger public works which are in progress. The 111(miteur Parisien, which is now the evening official organ of the government, in lieu of the Mes sager, which is suppressed, stated, on Saturday even ing, that it was authorised to sat - , that the diplomatic circular of M. Guizot, published by La France, and which we gave yesterday, is inexact and incomplete. An on (lit is current that M. Mole will seek to be reporter on the address, on the opening of the Cham bers, and that if he succeed in this M. Guizot will tender his resignation. It is before the Chamber of Peers, and not the Deputies, that M. Guizot will give his great explana tions on the subject of the marriages. This will take place on the 16th or 17th, so that the report will be received in England before Lord Palmerston will take up the subject in the House of Commons. We mentioned on a former day an intended visit of the King of the Belgians to the Court of Queen Victoria. Le Port feuille of Sunday confirms this. King Leopold will visit London about the middle of January. The weather in Paris relaxed in its severity on Saturday afternoon, when a rapid thaw, accompanied by rain, commenced. On Friday, at midni g ht, Fahrenheit's thermomete r stood at 22 degrees below the freezing point. On Saturday morning, at six o'clock, it showed 181 ; at noon, it was 271, and sud denly rose in the evening to 40, when the rain com menced to fall. The same temperature with rain was continued on Sunday, the snow, which covered the roads, rapidly dissolving. The funds at Tortoni s and the Passage de l'Opera to-day did not recover from the full they suffered on the Bourse yesterday. The Three per Cents. were done first at 80f. 83e., and fell later to 80f. 73c. They closed at 80f. 80c. The prices of flour and wheat in the Paris markets have undergone a slight fall, in consequence of Con siderable importations of foreign flour. A gener abatement is expected in the provincial markets, but not to any great amount. A communication from Homburg-es-Mont an nounces the death of the Landgrave Philip of Hesse- Homburg, the reigning prince, aged 69. Ile is suc ceeded by a younger brother, Prince Augustus Adol phus Frederick, born in 1781, married in 1838, to a Princess of Anhalt - Dessau , by whom he has three children, a prince and two princesses. P.S. PARIS, SuRDAT, 5 O'CLOCK.—We have just learned that M. Mendizabel left last evening for Madrid, but that M. Olozaga was refused his pass port.
