" He desires, and very naturally desires, to know what the Moon is ?—What are the Stars ?—Where the rain, wind, and frost come from ?—With innocent simplicity, he asks, what becomes of the light of a candle, when it is blown out ?

Thu Proprietors of this Journal, without resorting to the usual plan of boasting as to the number circulated, which is invariably a deception, aro eontent'to solicit Advertisements upon the credit of its name and connections alone. That it is in general circulation among a very largo, influential and wealthy class, which at t hi s period are actively engaged in promoting Floriculture and Horticulture throughout the United Kingdom, as well as the middle anti humbler classes, who are cul tivators, is a fact of which any person can, in an hour's inquiry, satisfy himself ; and if it be an object to advertise among the No bility and Gentry of all parties, as well as the thinking and careful portion of the humbler classes engaged in horticultural pursuits, " The Gardener's Gazette" is unquestionably the only single Journal which offers this advantage. Without dictating as to the kind of Advertisement adapted for the Journal, or rather for which the Journal is adapted, the Pro- MMprietors suggeet that Booksellers, Auctioneers, Estate Agents, anufactur ers of Horticultural, Agricultural, and Gardening Im plements and Apparatus, Nurserynien, Florists, Seedsmtn Land seep* and other Gardeners, Servants in want of places, and ' Masters in want of Servants, Seedsmen, Fruiterers, Importers o f F ore i gn Produce, & c ., w ill f i nd it much more eligible and effective 'so dium than any existing Newspaper, By giving timely notice, any Advertiser of a Catalogue of Books, or Plants, or Flowers, or any Auction Catalogue, may engage a suffialent portion of th e P aper, to the exclusion of any other Ad vertisement of the same class or kind, and be accommodated with any number free) to all of the papers (a t ate the cost pr i ce), which they may thus British Coloni es . sen d (post pof the U n i te d kingdom, and the CHARGE FOR ADVERTISEMENTS. cqp Lines, bs.

Yesterday the King took his accustomed airing. To-day their Majesties have not left the Castle, in come. queuce of the inclemency of the weather. To-morrow (this day) his Majesty will go to town, to hold a Levee, and return to the Castle in the evening. Yesterday the Duke of Dorset and Sir Harry B. Neale ar rived at the Castle on a visit to their Majesties. In the evening Lord Ashbrook had the honour of joining the Royal dinner party. Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar arrrived at the Castle this morning. To-morrow Earl Howe will take his departure. Lord Ashbrook will have the honour of dining with their Majesties this evening. On Sunday evening the Windsor and Eton Choral Society had the honour, by special command, of performing at the Castle before their Majesties and Royal suite. The selec tions were from several of Handel's oratorios, and the effective manner with which they were performed was condescendingly acknowledged by their Majesties. We understand that the King has been graciously pleased to command their atten dance on Sunday next. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANG The arrivals of all kinds of Grain this week are very small.

Mr. William Holmes is about to go to Berwick on-Tweed to "organise" the opposition to Sir Rufane Donkin, whose opponent is to be Mr. Hodgson, brother of the temporary Member for Newcastle. Mr. Holmes is to be himself the se cond Tory candidate, as Mr. Bradshaw will not come forward again. Last night, about eight o'clock, Mrs. Orme, a lady residing in Wilsted-street, New-road, alighted from a Padding ton omnibus, within fifty yards of her own dwelling, and, on her arrival at home, discovered that her purse, containing twelve sovereigns and a half sovereign, had been stolen from her pocket, which had been cut through. Suspicion attaches to a well-dressed female who got into the vehicle at the Angel, Islineton, and was set down at King's-cross. Yesterday at Gorton's fish and oyster-warehouse, behind the General Post-office, much curiosity was excited by the public display of several pearls of an unusual size, which had been found in large "barley" oysters from Rochester and Whitstable, and which bad bean opened that morning. They were eagerly bought up. , . The re-action in the currency continues gradually to be more severely felt in the trade of Paisley. Within the last two or three weeks several pretty heavy failures have taken place, and work has regularly become more difficult to be had.

The grand ball to be given at Drury-lane Theatre, for the benefit of the distressed Spitalfields silk-weavers, is expected to be on a scale of great magnificence.

Are there no means of reaching those individuals who abuse the confidence reposed in then by the ignorant and unsuspe c ti ng i n h a bi tants of the agricul tural districts ? From all quarters we have received accounts of the disreputable conduct of parsons and their creatures, who have not scrupled to obtain sig natures to petitions against the abolition of Church rates by . the most culpable misrepresentations. On this subject a petition was last night presented in •the Lords by Lord Brougham from the parishioners of Wheatley, in Oxfordshire, expressing " their indigna tion at the attempts now making to procure signa tures to petitions in support of Church -rates, by per sons representing that the abolition of those rates would be the means of the Churches falling into de cay. Several persons who had been so deceived had been induced to sign petitions in favour of Church rates. Having signed these counter-petitions, and then discovering the manner in which they had been deceived, some of them immediately signed the present petition." We yesterday received a let• ter from a magistrate of Yorkshire, in which he states—" The day before yesterday my parish schoolmaster was applied to by the par Son to carry round a petition for signature amongst the parishioners against the abolition of Church -rates, and previous to coining to me he had procured thirteen names, all of • whom I felt convinced never would have signed had they properly understood it. I, therefore, immediately went to them myself, taking the parson's petition in , my hand; and a contrary one, which I hastily drew up, in - support of the Bill. As soon as I explained to them the true objects of the Bill, every one of them declared they had been deceived, and hoped they might withdraw their names and sign the other petition, which I let them do. They were told that the Bill, if passed, would leave all the Churches to go to ruin and to tumble down ; and, moreover, that a great numoor of appointments had to be made . for thw management of the Church lands, the same as were attached to tlie new Poor-law Unions, and that they would all be paid out of the Poor-rates !! ! This misrepresentation the parsons well knew was very likely to make a lively im pression on the common people, who are very generally hostile to the Poor-law Unions, and the machinery of them." What the Bishop of Llandaff repeated last night may be quite true, " that when petitioners came before their Lordships for the redress of grievances, the lower those petitioners were in society, the humbler and the more helpless they were, the greater claim h a d th ey on t h e i r L or d s hi ps ' attention." But it becomes of importance to distinguish between griev ances really felt by humble petitioners, and opinions, not formed by themselves, but suggested by others, of the consequences to which certain measures of which the petitioners in question are necessarily wholly igno rant will lead. is justly objected, for instance, to mobocracy, that the multitude are blind instruments in the hands of one or two daring individuals. At the beginning of the Feench Revolution the peasantry were summoned by the watchword of " Peace to the cottage, and war to the palace," to set fire to the cha. leans of the gentry, and the flames of these mansions bore testimony to the ready credence obtained by those who preached- that the existence of the rich was the great obstacle to the comfort of the poor. If the parsons, in their respective parishes, tell their igno rant and credulous flocks that Ministers intended to demolish the Churches, and by such means induce them to sign petitions against the aboli tion of Church s rates, these petitions do not ex press the opinions of those who subscribe them, or set their marks to them, but opinions put into their mouths by the parties who lend themselves to the fraud upon Parliament. If a soeiety in London were to send emissaries to different parts of the country for the purpose of persuading the Dissenters that the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Lon don, and other Bishops, had subscribed a large sum to be employed in blowing up with gunpowder the different Dissenting chapels at the time they were most crowded, and that they ought to petition for the removal of' Bishops from the House of Lords, how would their spiritual Lordships relish a declaration h' some Peer that " the petitioners came before their Lordships for • the redress of grievances, and that the lower these pe• titioners were in society, the humbler and the more helpless they were, the greater Claim they had on their Lordships' attention?" Would not some Right Reve rend Father in God give vent to his indignation by inveighing loudly against those who had been guilty of the crime of ()eludi ng a l arge class of his Majes ty's subjects, and call on the House to resent so foul an attempt to calumniate the spiritual Peers by an abuse of the right of petitioning ? But if two or three Bishops in conclave in London send 'forth instructions to the clergy, to misrepresent to their parishioners the object of the Ministerial measure for the abolition of Church-rates—to tell them that it is intended. to allow the Churches to go to ruin—to plough up the Church yards ; and if; by means of these representations by which his Majesty's Ministers are foully calumniated, petitions are numerously subscribed, in what light are we to view the authors of this plot, and the instru ments whom, by an abuse of their authority, they persuade to give effect to it ? Parliament ought to take some steps to vindicate its authority, that the gross misconduct of the clergy on this occasion may not be drawn into precedent. The grievances of the poor are as much entitled to the attention of Par liament as the grievances of the rich ; but the valu able right of petitioning ought not to be abused as it has been in this case. In proportion as the right is valuable ought the Legislature to resent the arts of mis representation, by which the people are led into error, and approach Parliament under erroneous impres sions. "It was a remarkable circumstance," said the Bishop of Llandatf, " that petitions against the abo lition of Church -rates were pouring in daily from the rural parishes. 'ln that district with which he was more intimately connected, he knew one county from every rural parish of which a petition had been sent in favour of the continuance of Church-rates ; and in every other county of the same district the rural pa rishes, with few exceptions, had drawn up similar i a u io s 'n e s t i h s e r ay arey are i n pouringa a for r di the fre iri petition s ." I t would have been more remarkable if the pars ons h a d sent up from these rural parishes pe- t es daily from ) oe distances s from C r h r rural t Church-rates. l e1 1 1 ). - a r ir a lies t e h° s The petitionsent metro polis, a n d o f different dimensions, so that they must sbe- be either poured in daily, or the presentation must be delayed till they are all received according - to order. We presume no Right Reverend Father in God had any more doubt of receiving petitions from nearly all the rural parishes of his diocese, than he had that his dinner would be prepared by his cook and served up to him at table. Noble Lords are fond just now of the miraculous. The Duke of Rutland was quite surprised that the parishes in his neighbourhood, which had remained unagitated during the discussions of the Reform Bill, should be quite agitated on th e subject of Ch urch-rates ! His Grace had better con sult Nixon's Prophecies, to see whether this remark able circumstance had been foretold. The Tories are always in raptures when they can exhibit multitudes under the influence of delusion. They are not aware that without intending it they are of great service to the good cause. We are far from wishing to excuse the culpable misrepresentations to which recourse has been had to obtain these petitions ; but it required such an exhibition to satisfy those who.wish to diffuse in struction among the people, that throughout the agri cultural distriots of England the populati on , w i t h f ew exceptio ns , are in 4 state of the grossest i gnorance.

In the debate which followed Lord Nlahon's int, - resting speech upon the relations between Great Bri min, or rather between 'Lord Viscount Pahrh-rston and the belligerent parties in Spain some 10 or 12 days since, Sir It. Peel spoke, we are sure, the feeling o the great body of Conservatives throughout this coun try, when he disavowed all sympathy with Don Car los, and declared that " he did not see ally one British object which -could be gained by the success of that pretender to the Spanish crown.

It is now affirmed in all the accounts MIA have reached this country from the westward , of tie Pyrenees, that not only guns, rockets, and warlike stores from the Royal arsenals of Great Britain have formed the bulk of the Military materials with which the corps of Evans has recently marched upon its inland enterprise of an attack upon Hernani, in expected combination with a force from Pampeluna, which is distant near fifty miles from the sea, but that a corps of British artillery, and a battalion of the Royal Marines of England, ac companied Evans in that disastrous expedition, and covered his retreat to St. Sebastian. Now, let us ask, is this a species of movement which comes within the letter or spirit Of the Quadruple Alliance ? Was Eng land bound—and, if not bound, was she in any sense authorized—to . join her forces with the armies of either belligerent in the civil war of Spain, other than her maritimeArees, and for objects confined to the sea coast of those provinces which constituted the seat of war ? This now becomes a serious national question— serious in its principle, because the acts of Lord Pal merston amount to an unlimited intermeddling with all the occurrences of a civil war, carried on between two parties exclusively Spanish for the succession to the Crown—serious m its contingent consequences, because there would be no shadow of pretence on the part of England for complaining if two or three other Governments followed her example, by despatching fleets and armies to the succour of Don Carlos, and thus, by the gradual increase of such reinforcements, producing what Would he really nothing less than a general war among the Powers of Europe, under the mask of auxiliary treaties. But if such a state of things as now exists in Spain be a subject of anxiety both for the principles in which it has originated and for the results to which it Might naturally lead, can anything he more mortifying or painful for Englishmen than the, total frustration of every prospect, not merely of com plete success, such as Lord Palmerston so confident: iy and repeatedly predicted when taunted in the Horke of Commons with the unpromising nature of the cause to which he had harnessed the efforts and rep otation of this country, but of that prompt, as well as certain, triumph which the other great statesman, General Evans, assured us of when some of the electors of Westminster displayed their impatience at the paralysis or stagnation which appeared to have laid hold of this politico-military adventurer, Hitherto Great Britain has never raised an arm but to conquer. There was a prestige every where that a corps of Englishme n wasin vincible ; in Spain, more especially, it was almost a na tional instinct to doubt tire possibility of defeating Bri tish troops. But it is a monument to the praise of Viscount Palmerston, that in two campaigns he has done his best to demolish the whole edifice of national glory raised by the Duke of Wellington in seven—and, as is truly, though invidiously, stated by a Royalist French journal, that the " British standard is put to flight by those whom Lord Palmerston calls a banditti." The whole world will ask, and has a right to ask, how is England indemnified for sueh • disgraces ? Has she made any progress in .corumercial prosperity through the favour of the Madrid Government ? Has she, by her notable adherence to the principle of " non-inter vention" enabled Spain to advance one step towards internal peace, or towards fixed and stable institu tions ? • Has she gained one particle of good will either from th e French Governm en t or the French people in exchange for the universal hatred of the Spaniards ? Has she any the slightest hope of either terminating the civil war ix Spain with success, or of abandoning her share in it with honour, more than site possessed three years ago ?' Lord Palmerston will find that his personal share in these transactions is one of which the effects arc likely to hang about him—and that the public feeling on the subject will not be set asleep so readily as a House of Com mons audience when the Noble Lord addresses them. With regard to the East of Europe, we wish this one question to be asked of Lord Palmerston by some representative of the people of England—viz.,. whether any British Consul or other public functionary accre dited to the republic of Cracow by his Majesty is now resident in that city ? When . such a functionary was n sent thither ; an d if none be ow there, why th ere i s not ?—for, if w e do not mu c h deceive ourselves, Lord Palmerston, after his usual practice, contrived to smother a question or unotion in the House of Com mons a year or two ago, by assuring the House that a consular or diplomatic agent should be sent to repre sent this country in the little Polish republic. Russia, Prussia, and Austria have all agents there. We have a surmise, indeed, that his Lordship said such a person was already on his way ; at all events, it ought to be formally stated whether an agent was sent or not? Whether he was authorized to remain there or not ? If not, who it was that turned him out by the shoul ders,• and for what alleged cause ? Why should not papers be asked for ? The fact is, that the Foreign office of England in the hands which now conduct it has become a laughing-stock to those Powers which do not regard it as a inaisance ; and something must be done to rescue our international interests from such disreputable keeping.,—Times. It is with deep regret that we find that some advisers of the Government have been perpetrating one of those acts calculated to annoy their friends and gratify their enemies. The case to which we allude is the pension ing of that thorough Tory, Sergeant Ludlow, which is as gross a mistake as any journal ever had to record, or any Government ever committed. It appears that Sergeant Ludlow was appointed Town Clerk of Bristol in the year 1819, at a salary of 800/. per annum. The duties of the situation required that he should attend the meetings of the Town Council, and act as the legal adviser of that body, and also as the assessor of the Magistrates at the Quarter Sessigna, lie had, moreover, several other n otr , p n r a o t f u ez, N T i l l a ie S i e l rV i i t ee iSs to render SoarreyofniorpatZtic7itleytail.

It was now that Mr. Ludlow turned round,.and taking advantage of a clause in the Municipal Act,,which cer. tainly did not apply to his case, who had hem guilty of misconduct in neglecting to perform his duty, besought the Lords of the Treasury to allow him compensation. The Bristol Council very pro. perly remonstrated against this impudent demand. The L or d s o f the Treasury submitted the case to th e , Attorney and Solicitor-Generals, and as ‘i a fel low feeling" is said, to make persons " wondrous kind," it is not surprising that they r;ronounced clairm of a brother lawyer as reP:son' able and ju Now this we do unhesitatingl7 assert to be rather a shameful affair. It is a transaction of the very worst complexion, and one, exc e p t i n th e present instancy, that could only have happened in the most corrupt days of Toryism. We have been the unflinching ad vocates of the Ministry, and even of sonic of the indi vidual Members composing it, when we thought they were unjustly assailed ; but we shall never become their supporters in any measure having an evil ten b dency, nor ever s h a ll we so far forget the duty we owe to the public as independent journalists, as to . wink at whatever may savour of a leaning to tht?. interests of Tory suppliants. We war against the Tories, because they set public opinion at defian ce , and have been, when in power, the abettors of every species of job bing ; and we cannot, therefore, consistently approve of the conduct of our friends when we find them play ing th 6 same game.--Morning Advertiser. That Lord Palmerston would endeavour to shuffle out of the responsibility which attaches to the case of the Vixen we never doubted ; but that he can do so with- Lilt involving the Government of which he is a member in still deeper disgrace than they have already earned by their blundering and contemptible system of foreign policy, we do not believe. Were the capture of the Vixen to be treated with he same apathy and indiffe rence, or rather mean and crouching submission, which the Whigs evinced in regard to the insolent cancelling_ of the t reaty o f Vi enna, and the barbarous extinction of the nationality of Poland, the feeling of the country will not be quite so quiescent under the sense of foreign outrage thereby going unpunished, and the national honour wounded without reparation. Nor is it the national honour alone that is concerned ; the interests of this great commercial country are involved in the decision of the question. The case of the owners of the Vi.ien to day may be case of any other British merchant to morrow. The precedent of redress denied in the one instance will constitute law against the demand of re dress in case of similar outrages, or, as we call them, acts of piracy by Russia, or any other great power - that flay choose to take advantages of the pusillanimity of an incapable government, and calculate upon insult ing the British flag and plundering British subjects with impunity. A Mornin g Paper, opposed to Go vernment, has lately undertaken to defend the Autocrat of Russia, on the ground that the sovereignty of Cir cassia, which, it is stated, was previously ceded to Tur key by Russia, had been re-invested in Russia by the treaty of Adrianople. We deny, shortly and simply, that the sovereignty of Circassia ever of right belooged to either Turkey or Russia —that it could be disposed of by one to the other as matter of contract, or bargain and sale ; but to enter into that question now would, as we have formerly stated, only draw us away from the real merits of the case, as between the British public and the British Government—o r between the owners of the Vixen, who, in this instance, represent the whole body of British merchants, and Lord Pahnerston. Must we once more state ),,ow the case, as between those parties, really stanei s ? It is contained within a very narrow compass. A British merchant asks ofthe Secretary for Foreig n Affhirs information, for which, as a British subject., he has a perfect right to ask, and which, indeed, da Foreign Secretary were either unable or unwillin g ' , o , him, he would be wholly unfit for his office. the gentleman to whom we allude, asks whethe; there is anywarlike blockade of the coast ofCircas sia vftlich the English Government acknowledges. We 'JO:lov e he intimates that no such blockade has been no 4:ified in the Gazette. He is referred back to the Gazette for an answer. We pass by the diplomatic pomposity of this proceeding on the part of the great proto colist, who cannot bestow upon a respectable British merchant that smiling and smirking affability which he lavishes upon the satellites and slaves of the Russian despot. Now, when Lord Palmerston referred Mr. Bell to the Gazette for information, he meant that the Gazette was a compettait authority on the subject, or he did not. If he did not, he committed a contempti ble deception upon the inquirer, which we are sure his meanest sycophants, in the utmost fervour of their zeal for his exculpation, will be ashamed to plead in his defence apaimst the c h arge o f h av i ng, b y that reference to the G azette, taken upon himself the responsibility of the Vixen adventure, as far as the blockade was concerned. Well, then, Lord Palmerston did refer Mr. Bell to the Gazette as a competent authority ; and that authority told Mr. Bell that there was no legal blockade of the Circassian coast—for there was none notified, and consequently none acknowledged. Upon this information, furnished to him by Lord Palmerston, it matters not whether by a " protocol," or through the medium of the Gazelle, the Vixen sails for the coast of Circassia, and is captured by the Auto crat, on the ground of having violated that blockade which Lord Palmerston h a d i n f orme d M r. B e ll had no valid existence. The question then comes to this—lf the blockade was legal, wile was it not acknowledged by Lord Palmerston in the Gazette, to which he re ferred Mr. Bell ? If it were illegal, why does Lord Palmerston hesitate to demand not only compensation for Mr. Bell's loss of property, and the unjust impri sonment of several British subjects—all brought into that state by his Lordship's own representation, but also the fullest satisfaction for the dishonour inflicted upon the British flag ? Again, if the question were a doubtful one at the time of the inquiry . , as to dis puted national rights, why did Lord Palmerston re fer Mr. Bell to the GaZette at all ? By doing so he took upon himself the responsibility of stating, not , that the question was a doubtful one, but that it was one upon which Government had decided, by not acknowledging the blockade. The reference to the Gazette would have been an absurd or an imperti nent reference on the part of Lord Palmerston, if he meant that it was a doubtful authority. Such con duct would have been worse than refusing to give any answer whatever, because, independently of the official impertinence, it could only be intended to mislead. The sycophants of Lord Palmerston have now the cool assurance to say that Mr. Bell not only acted upon his own responsibility, and at his own peril, but that he had no right to expect that Lord - Palmerston would give him any correct information. We do :lot deny that he who expects the adequate discharge of his duty by Lord Palmerston may be disappointed --nay, he may find it very difficult to obtain correct informa tion from the " juvenile Whig" upon many other sub jects than that of a Circassian blockade. But we say, that if Lord Palmerston be himself a party to setting up such a defence, he makes a voluntary confession of his utter incompetency to discharge the duties of the office which he holds, and for which the public so highly pays him. What does this salaried servant of the public dare to hold such an insolent tone to British merchants as this? Does he dare to tell them that they must not intrude upon his "learned leisure" for in formation touching the existence or non-existence of a blockade, as to the coast of a foreign country with which they-trade, or are about to trade ? We are flip. pantiv told , by Lord Pahnerston's scribes, that British merchants must consider for themselves - in such cases, whether the advantage or the risk is likely to preponderate—if the former, let them embark in the speculation ; if the latter, let them seek some other em ployment for their capital. If this insulting language conies from our Foreign Secretary, or has the stamp of his approval, we can only describe it as an instance of the " contumely of office" characteristic of whiggery. The advice of' Lord Palmerston may be very well touch ing risk or advantage, as applied to a smuggler or a ki buccaneer," whether following his contraband trade on the Circassian, or the Cantabrian coast. But it is too late for our Foreign Secretary to decline answering the question which he has already answered, and by an swering- which he caused the voyage and capture of time Vixen, from the responsibility of which, with Lrod On the 27th inst., in 3 vols. pobt Svo., with numerous Portraits, N G L A N D E UNDER SEVEN ADMINISTRATIONS.
