By JOHN LINDLEY, P.H.D., F.It.S., Professor of Botany in University College, London. A New Edition : with Numerous Alterations and neaey Four Hundred Illustrations. This work was originally prepared, ia haste, to meet a regulation of the University of London, by which it was required of an students, that, two years previously to proceeding to their that degree, they should be examined, among other subjects, in "The characters and differences of the principal natural classes and orders of plants be. lonoine to the Flora of Europe, in the botanical classification of De Candolle." The anions 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 teed, of the commonest plants of their own country. la the opinion of the author, the measure was edentate(' to effect a real mei and to supply a wide gap in the common routine of a school, where it is most desirable that sonic natural history should be introduce', if it be only to relieve the tedium of the lens attractive stadia; to which young persons are necessarily subjected. Bat it was also important for the rake of its substantial 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 as to the importance of knowing the names of the plants of which man hie to make use, or which hr ii- continually meeting with. There is sot at the present day a person of any intelligence, ignorant of such things, who does not regret that some portion of hie youth should not have been devoted to this kind of inquiry. The DoNetshire gentleman who put himself to considerable trouble and so small expense to carry a sack of Hornbeam need from Florence 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 eddy aawited that every one a: tlw.t celebrated court party whialt iliseorered a prodigy in the beautiful tree in Windsor Park, would have been glad if their early education had spared them the mortiflea- Poe of learning from Lord M. that the tree ui question was only the Spanish Chestnut. Whatever the future intentions of a student of botany war be, it is indispensable that the fir. t prep to be taken should be that Of gaining an acquaintance with the common plants of hie own country. In the absence of that, he cannot make a single move in advance. Ile must first mater the rudiments of the science, and marder them correctly. 'This li ttle hook hair been prepared for the purpose of enabling him to do m. It contains all that it is necessary to know in order to make a fair beginning. and it includes no more ; no that if any one should have the patience to master the whole content , of the volume, he would them be in a position to cart his inquiries onwards with ease. But it is not really necessary to become acquainted with all the planta here mentioned. The reason why no many specie s are introduced, which are of email Importance, is to enable the teacher to obtain at leant some part of them to illustrate his teaching. Local eirrumetances, and especially our uncertain seasons, will always render it difficult to procure every thing here mentione d ; but no conceivable eircumstane mu, in this country, offer impedimenta to the examination of a large pert. In selecting the nubjecte with w hich the etude.' a s s to be made acquainted, those have been generally chosen which are within any mans reach ; and to render the acquisition of them more l sy, the vulgar names are added. A very smal l sum of money enable every schoolmaster to cultivate the whole in a gardem, where they may be constantly at hand. In feinting the technical character s of genera ands pecie% all the mime minute distinctions, the detection o f which require. t attention.disregarded; esPreially called to those which are obvious enough to be observed by any one having a pocket lens. 'Mkt of the Europ ea n natural orders I regard as the prin. tilos'," will be apparent , from the prominence given here to certain animal orders beyond others. The teacher is not, however, recom mended altogether to omit thane which are mated to be comparatively rt unimpoant. The wisest course will be to make the the naturalfirst d which are marked from I. to and then to explain more briefly the differences of those to which nu numbers arc prefixed. In conclusion, the teacher is particularly reeommended to take care that in addition to a small penknife, each student le provided with a Pocket lens of about a half-inch focus, and a few quire, of paper the former to assist him in examining, and the latter in drying, the fresh specimens of pl a nts daily brought before him. There is no method so tertian as the latter, SO accustom young persona to esti mate correctly the differences between one plant and another; and, it is presumed , no one will think of teaching Botany, without an ample supply of fresh specimens, which he ma distribute among his elms, for the purpose of tieing examined and studied at is lei m sur ade e. Indeed, it is useless to rawly botany, unless thie prov i sion rser the set o,(a o r t h ose e a aiss rif o bservation which natural hist o ory t en s peculiarly useful as a branch of mental training. render When students do not enjoy the advantages; of a competent teacher, their beet plan will be to put this book into the /mode of on Intelligent gardener, and to induce him to furnbih them weekly with the Plants that are named in it. At home they can compare the definitions which thee may find with the plan' he and this kind of practice is, of all others, the meet certain to lead to advan tageous Iseult& None of the woodcuts employed in the fleet edition have been introduced on thin occasion. Experienee shows that, for purposes of teaching, it is indispensable that as much accuracy an attainable he should observed in preparing the illustrations. To the untrained eye, plants are too much alike in reality; ill executed, or much diminished, woodcuts increase this resemblance, and consequently 'hex more than instruct. The tuts now employed aill, it ts M. render it impossible that any mistake ; M o uld be made by even the ;nest inexperienced as to the plants to which they belong. The feeilittes, indeed, offered to artists by Mr. Valmer's Glyph°. graphic Proems or analogous model of engraving, which on have been thielly employed on this oenaeton, leave little to desire the score of securae l .

We have Paris letters and journals of Wednesday. The interest felt in the two great international questions of the day,the coolness between the Cabinets of St. James's and the Tuileries, and the spoliation of Cracow, is infinitely more profound among the French than among the English public. This is apparent to any obser er of society, and glaringly evident in the journal ism of the rwo countries. A small fraction of what has been written and read in Paris alone on these questions, not to mention the provinces, would hare been sufficient to weary the whole British nation. Notwithstanding this, the journals of Paris, of the pre sent week, have continued theirvigourous efforts in this discussion as if not a single word had yet been said upon it. Nothing new, however, is offered. The article in the Express, respecting the quarrel between Admiral Dacres and the French Consul, is quoted with satisfaction by several journals. The decision of M. Guizot to recall the consul, mentioned in our correspondence several days since, was not alluded to in the Paris press until Wednesday, when it was incidentally mentioned by the National. The municipal elections were continued on Tuesday and were generally favourable to the government. The King and Queen of the Belgians arrived a+ the Tuileries on Tuesday evening, and are expected to remain in Paris about a week. The weather throughout France during the past week has been more severe than is usual even at this season. The obstruction to the progress of communi cation through the country may be conceived by the fact, that of the eighteen mails which arrive daily in Paris only seven bad arrived on Tuesday up to the hour of noon. The eleven following remained due : Limoges, Lyons, St. Etienne, Sedan, Strasburg, Besancon, Brest, Cherbourg, Forbach, Geneva, and Havre. The Calais mail, bringing the London journals and correspondence of Saturd a y , which was due in Paris at six o'clock on Monday morning, did not arrive till a late hour in the evening. The price of bread in Paris, for the last fortnight of December, is, as we anticipated some days since, 45c. the kilogramme, being equivalent to 2lel. per lb. On Monday morning, at six o'clock, in Paris, Fahrenheit's thermomet er was 71. below the freezing point. At noon it was 5° below it. reavt.Do• For Kann , 111 20 111 IX) 00.421 - 61 118 TS 111111.1 1 .

NEWCASTLE, DEC. 15.-The weather at present is quite of a wintry character, and so intense is the f rost that our navigation is threatened with being closed, whilst the roads are almost rendered impasuble, from the quantity of snow that has fallen since Saturday.

ITALY.—The amneeted political offenders, which had remained in the prisons of Civic' Vecchia, have arrived at Bologna The population hailed this new art of clemency with delight. Much thanks are due for their liberation to M. Martinelli, who went to Rome to solicit their pardon in the name of the Commission of Bologna. The seas of the Grecian Archipelago appear still to be the scene of atrocious acts of brigandage and mur der, such as to require to be put down and punished rigorously, seeing that the government of Greece is either so wanting to its duty, or so powerless to repress and punish crime. The pillage and assassination committed by some of these Greek pirates on the night of the 11th of September, off Tenedos, on the brig James Innes, of Cardiff, bound to Constantinople with a cargo of iron, are already known. Since that time, the consular agent of Holland at Scio has transmitted to the Consul-gene ral of that country at Smyrna, the report of another piratical atrocity. On the 31st of October , a small vessel loaded with fresh raisins arrived from the Echella Neuve at Scio, the capitain of which reported that he had been boarded in a small port where he had taken refuge from bad weather, by Cape Corbo, by two Greek piratical boats. The' brigands, finding nothing in the cargo that could be made prey of worth while, turned their attention to two Jew pilgrims, who were passengers. After searching in vain for the money of these unfortunate people, and not finding any, they took one of them, bound him strongly with cords, plunged him several times into the sea, and inflicted all sorts of tor tures upon him. As he could be brought to reveal nothing by these horrible torments, the pirates blew his brains out with a pistol shot. The second Jew, half dead with fright, then gave up all his money, and that of his companion, on which his life was spared, but he did not escape without having gered severe personal injuries from the villains. DISTRESSINO SHIPWRECK.—The barque Hope, of Liverpool, 5.59 tons, Jones, muter, from Camarines Bay for Liverpool, laden with guano, struck on a bank off Morris castle, between Wexford and Wicklow, when the crew, 26 in number, left the barque and landed. They remained ashore two nights, but boarded her again on the 9th of De cember. Finding, however, that she was not seaworthy, they took to their boats ;16 seamen in the long-boat, and the remainder, including the captain and officers, in the ' gig. The latter pasty was soon after seen alongside of a schooner ; but the crew in the long-boat, nut being so for tunate, continued drifting before a very strong northerly wind, with heavy snow squalls, without either provisions or water, until Sunday last, when the boat come ashore about four miles east of Newquey, on the north coast of Cornwall. It was then found that tea of her crew had d;ed of cold and hunger. Their bodies were removed to Trevanan to await a coroner's inquest. The six survivors were taken to the coast guard station, at Mangan l'orth, where they hive received every kindness and attention. Medical usotance was im mediately procured for them, and there is reason to believe they will do well. The names of the survivors are Alexander Macintosh, of Inverness; John Salmon, Dublin; John Macaulay, Stornoway ; Andrew Hoist, Norway ; John Arrowsmith, Liverpool; George Meicle, Scotland. The ten found dead in the boat were : David Roberto, Liverpool; Owen Hughes, Carnarvon ; Charles Colley, Hull; Thomas Brown, Isle of Bute; Richard Cutler, Plymouth; William Williamsmouth ; William Lloyd, Cartiarvon ; Jacob Willams, a Swede: Thomas Collings, an American ; and Jem MERCHANT TAYLORS' SCHOOL.—Yesterday, after a most satisfactory examination, both written and oral, in Hebrew, the Greek and Latin classics, and mathematics, conducted by the Rev.

MAltfl-LANE.—The frost continues very severe and tha navigation of the river is much impeded by large quan tities of floating ice. This circumstance has had the effect of checking business. The rtceipts of English Wheat since Monday have been moderate, and sales have been effected at an advance of 35 per quarter upon that day's ra t es . Although the transacti o n s in free foreign Wheat, owing to the state of the ricer, have not been so extensive as they would otherwise have been, still a fair amount of business was transacted, at an improvement of fully 4s. per qr.l 'Barrel Flour must be quoted 2s. dearer. The arrivals of -English Barley have been small; of foreign, about 9,300 qrs. have come to hand during the week. There I was an improved sale for all distilling and grinding descrip tions, at Is. to 2s. more money.

Oats, and 1,650 loads of Oat6.esl coastwise; but there have been no imports from abroad, and partly owing to adverse winds, there have been no arrivals of Foreign or Irish produce to the Clyde. The frost continues intense. The increasing wants of Ireland have at length given an impetus to our market, considerable pureltaans of inferior qualities of Wheat having been made this week for shipment at advanced prices, and our dealers have bought more freely than of late. Barley has been in active request, and good fresh Danish, weighing 53 to 64 lb. per bushel, has sold at 318. to 32'. per boll. The scarcity of Oats has cauntsl ex treme rates to be paid for qualities suitable for millers, There were few sellers of sweet Flour, of wl i. h there is little here ; but several thousands barrels of sour have been taken for Ireland at 30s. per barrel. Peas were in request, at higher rates. Beans have not varied. At thin day's market there was a good attendance, ine.uiling several Irish buyers; hut the high prices asked for all articleschecked sales ; towards the close, however, a moderate business was dune, and was raise our quotations Is. per boll for tine, and 2s. for inferior descriptions of Wheat; 2s. per sack and barrel for Flour; la. to Is. 6d. per boll for Oats and l'ease ; and 28. fur Barley.

SsurnnEtn, Two o'clock.-On the Friday after the great market we usually look for a very large supply of beasts, and the great number consigned to it this year would naturally lead us to expect, on this, the market day imme diately following it, something extraordinary as to numbers, but this is not the cgs The day considered, we have but few on offer, for which there is a brisk demand ; Monday's prices are well sustained, and, in a few instances, rather ex c eded. We have not anything shown to-dry remarkably fat; but the average quality of the supply is very good, which is far more profitable to the consumer. Everything is likely to be disposed of, as the time now to elapse before Christmas-day is just so much as suits the convenience of the butcher to prepare for that festival. We have quit e a suffi cient supply of Sheep, there being but a small demand at this time of year ; mule, however, is quite as good, and the art ether continuing favourable, the biggest Sheep are dis posed of more freely. Trade for Calves is exceedingly dull, and it is with difficulty the choicest descriptions make Is. Ed.

GRINGLEY FAIR.-This annual fair took place on Monday last, but the attendance was not numerous, owing to the severity of the weather. Business generally was dull. The quantity of stock exhibited was less than former years, and fat was difficult to sell at Gs. 9d. p er atone. Cows and Calves in great request, and varied from 13!. to 181., but any thing near at hand commanded its value. Young stock bought up freely at fair prices, though • shade less than ex pected. Drapes little sought after at declining rates. The few Sheep penned were generally neglected, and only one lot disposed of, and that at a lowerprice than anticipated. Of Pigs there was a considerable quantity ; higher prices were asked, and obtained for the few disposed of ; fat ones, 6s. 3d. to 65. Gd. per stone.

Anything p obtained a small advance. NEWBURY, DEC. 17.-There was a fair supply of fat stock, considering the many fat cattle shows which have taken plan. during the last ten days, principally those left from such sales. The prices asked to -day were high, but a trifle less than at Salisbury on Tuesday. Several fat oxen sold at from 1 Is. to Ils. fal. per score pounds. The Sheep made from Os. to Os. 4d. per stone for the beet, and from 4.1. to Bd. less for inferior. The lean stock was scarcely noticed. Fat Pigs were sold at from 9s. to 10s. 6d. per core ; some large coarse at Is. per score leo ; lean swine were plentiful ; tha prices about 2s. per head higher. Bacon Hogs, at from 9s. to 9s.

Cattle, 430; Sheep, 1,487- This being the Christmas show, the y numbsr of cattle exhi bited were not of such first-rate qualit as we have witnessed here for some time ; yet we noticed a few •hown by Mr. Bee, of Worksop, cattle salesman, the best we ever saw, amongst which were two fat heifers, bred and fed by John Booth, Esq., of Kelson, near Louth, Linc.,lnshire, which fetche4 the highest prices. The attendance of buyers being numerous caused a brisk sale in the beef trade; but mutton was very dull, and last week's quotations barely supported. SALFORD, DEC. 6.-The market was better supplied to-day than on Wednesday last. A fair quantity of Scotch were offering, and in prime condition. There is no quotable change in the value of Beef or Mutton, but, if any, the buyer had the advantage. SOUTHALL, DEC. 16.-We were pretty well sup pqlied with Beef to-day. Mutton was short ; Veal and Pork uite sufficient for the demand. Beef went oft slowly, a a nd a clearance was not made. Mutton was more in request, a prices were well supported, except for the heavy weights, for which there was but t little demand. Veal and Pork made about late prices. f made from 3s. to 4s. 4d. ; Mutton, 4s. to 5s 4d. ; Veal, 46. to ss. ; Pork, 3s. 4d. to 4s. 4d. per stone of Subs., sinking the offal.
