TURE, AND POL )ENER'S GAZETTE AND [OURNAL OF SCIENCE. LITERA TICS. No. 1., Published JANUARY 7th and eth, Price FIVEPENCE. It is not a little extraordinary that the Horticulturists of this king dom have had as yet no Journal to advocate their interests, or sup port their claims, for no class was ever better calculated to support a Journal, or occasionally more required its advoeacy. We speak of Gardeners as scientific men—men who not only take an interest in the cultivation of the earth, but in genoral are reading men, calcu lating men, and, from the very nature of their profession, thinking men ; nor does it alter our position if we take all the grades of Gar deners. The Duke of Devonshire is a Gardener ; for though he does not necessarily dig the ground, nor plant his own cabbages, he pays others for doing the Tabour and attending to his garden, from his head-man downwards, and takes an extraordinary interest in the results. Again, the poor man that cultivates a rod of ground is a Gardener, and takes as much pride, or as much interest in his avo cation as he most wealthy ; in fact, every body who takes an inte rest in a flower, or a vegetable, and studies its progress, is a Gar dener. Gardeners exist in all stations, from the labourer to the prince, just as the poorest soldier in the ranks is a soldier, as well as all above him, up to the Duke of Wellington ; in fact, as Mr. Hud son sae or sings, " We're all Gardeners." The sort of Journal re quired, is one containing news of every thing that passes; notices of all the new plants, constant reports of proceedings of all meet ings; systematic exposure of all evils; censure of all abuses; and above all things, when other interests are advancing at the expense of Gardening, a bold and uncompromising defence until the tide is turned, and, if necessary, an attack on its enemies afterwards. All these are essential. Turnpike Bills ' the Tithe Question, Taxes. F regulations for importing oreign produce, and many other ques tions, have, may, and will again arise for the exercise of the whole strength and influence of a Journal ; and the superiority of a weekly over a monthly publication requires no comment. Had there been such a Journal in the days of alarm, when the malicious re port that vegetables were injurious to health and promoted Cholera was spread abroad, the gross delusion could hare been dispelled in a few days, instead of operating in the ruinous abstinence of the pub lie for months, destroying thousands of pounds worth of business, and reaching all the classes, from the grower to the consumer. The announcement of two such Journals threatened to split the science into two parties, and, what is worse, to double the expense of making any thing public ; for as, in all probability, one or the ether would find its way into the hands of every one interested in any branch of Horticultnre, and neither of the Journals mach more than half, whatever it might be desirable to advertise, must have appeared in both ; and it is impossible not to foresee many other disadvantages. Happily, by an arrangement between the parties, the united strength of both will now be devoted to one Newspaper only, and this can be transmitted by the ordinary Post free of ex pense. Advertisements inserted will reach every Town and Vil lage is the Kingdom, and if we do not greatly underrate the classes who delight in Horticulture, from the highest to the lowest, there will searcely be found one who does not, in the source of the week, peruse the Gardener's Gazette. The Newspaper will give a faithful record of all great political events abroad and at home, but it will not venture to give a political opinion of its ow*. Where a question is sufficiently important to deserve it, the most talented article that shall have appeared during the week on each side shall be inserted, that the readers may be well acquainted with the subject, and the name of the papers in which they have appeared shall be quoted. But when a question which affects the interests of any branch of Horticulture or Agricul ture may be agitated, the Gardeners' Gazette shall be foremost in the field, and not the least effective. It remains only for the Gardenersa-we repeat again—from the Duke downwards, to do their duty by their Gazette, as faithfully as the Gazette will do its duty by them, and some of these duties the Proprietors will, in all modesty, veuture to point out :- 1. The Nobility and Gentry through Out the kingdom should pro vide their Gardeners with it, free of expense. 2. The Gardeners who may not be so supplied, should order it nevertheless, and being practical men, should, whenever they have an oppo r t un i ty, supply original papers on the cultivation, manage ment, and propagation, &c., of plants, descriptions of new once, &e. &c. 3. The Secretaries of Horticultural Societies should exhort all their members to order it, advertise all their shows in it, and supply immedi a t e returns of the prizes awarded at such shows (which re turns will be gratuitously inserted as News), and communicate whatever may be deemed useful information. 4.

PRESENT STATE OF MEXICO. PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 24.—Melancholy is the present state of Mexico, and truly critical and dang erous is the position of all foreign merchants resident in t hat city. Let ters were received by two merchants in Philadelphia on Saturday, which fully and more than confirm the disastrous and alarming accounts that have been published within the last three days. The expedition against Texas is at an end. The very subject and name of Texas had ceased to excite public attention in the city of Mexico ; and the miserable wretches at Matamoras, miscalled an army, had exhi bited such apathy and cowardice that their chiefs were afraid to lead them into the enemy's territory. In ad dition to this, such confusion and anarchy prevailed in all the principal towns and cities of Mexico, that the forces there were deemed scarcely adequate to pre vent an outbreak on the part of the population. The position of foreign merchants in the capital -of that soi-disant republic is perilous indeed. 'I he Americo- Spanish, Mestizo, and native Mexican lazzaroqi, who in fest the streets by thousands, aro thirsting for their blood and the plunder of their property. These human mongrels are called " Lepros," and supposed to be 100,000 in num ber. No distinction is made, in their fiend-like prejudices, between Americans, French, English, or Germans ; and the Government has called upon the unhappy, and, I fear, doomed foreigners, to pay 2,000 dollars per day for the service of troops to protect them. Is it not to be feared that as soon as its Government has thus legally plundered them to their last dollar, that the bloodhound " lepros" will be let loose upon their persons and houses ? The merchants generally are also compelled to furnish money to Government, under the same 'excuse of " protec tion ;" and from a letter I have seen, which is cautiously worded (evidently for fear it should be opened by Mexican authorities), I should feel disposed to say that the object of the Mexicans, from the highest Government officer down to the lowest vagabond of the lazzaroui, is plunder—either legally or illegally, still plunder, and perhaps, also, its too common concomitant, murder. A wretched Jesuit named Alarnan, and Bustamente, were struggling for power, and the troops constantly threatening revolt, in which case they would join the populace. Santa Anna was still on his plantation, watching with hawk's eye the progress of events, and ready, it is believed, to take advantage of the firpt general out-break. The truth is, things are in so complete a chaos of anarchy and confusion at the present time in Mexico, that it is almost impossible to give an opinion as to their probable results. In telligent Americans, however, who are connected with that country affirm it as their belief, that Santa Anna and his minions are busy fomenting much of this discord, with the .)bject of rendering his presence necessary to restore order and good government. S.O At any rate Texas is free ! Emigrants continue to pour into the infant republic in unprecedented numbers. Yesterday, at a meeting of the vestry of the parish of St. Pancras, which was held at the vestry-rooms in Gold n square, it was agreed, on the motion of Mr. Murphy, that a petition be presented to the House of Commons against the Cemetery Bill, by which the enclosure of Primrose-hill is contemplated.

An address to the electors of Montrose, Arbroath, Forfar, Brechin, and Inverbervie by Mr. Leader, dated Dec. 2, 1834, has been re-published and commented on in the Times and Standard, with a view to show that, if Sir Francis Burdett has proved an apostate, Mr. Leader has not always maintained his present opinions. The only inconsistency in Mr. Leader is that his opinions are more decidedly Radical now than they were in 1834. That he was a Reformer then as well as now is perfectly evident. The following is the address in question : _ _ " Gentlenien,—Having heard that, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, it is the intention of your present Member not to soli6it a renewal of the trust which you have reposed in him, I take this opportunity of announcing to you that it is my determination to offer myself as a can didate for the representation of this district of burghs. I _ _ have been induced to present myself for the honour of re presenting you in Parliament by the consideration that my intimate connection with the trade of your burghs renders the welfare o( the district the nearest and the most absorb ing object of my care. " I have further been emboldened to offer myself to your notice by a firm, and I trust a not ill-grounded, belief that my political principles are in accordance with those of many, if not of most, of the electors. After such a declaration, I need scarcely add that my principles are those of liberality, of reform, and of economical government ; that I would have supported the late Administration, because I believe that the Ministers were honest, and because I know that their measures were liberal ; but, at the same time that I would ardently support the reform of every abuse, I would as zealously maintain the. fundamental principles of the Constitution, opposing alike the corruption of the old Tory oligarchy on the one hand, and the levelling doctrines of the new Radical Destructives on the other. " Such are, in a few words, my principles, which I will fully and conscientiously unfold to you when I have the honour of calling upon you in person, an honour which I intend to have at the earliest possible opportunity. In the mean time I entreat you to consider well the great public interests which must soon be brought under discussion ; and, above all things, not to pledge your votes until you have thoroughly sifted the principles of any candidate who may offer himself for your suffrages, and have been enabled, by personal intercourse, to ascertain which candidate's opinions most fully coincide with your own. " i have the honour to be, gentlemen, " Your most obedient, humble servant, " JOHN TEMPLE LEADER. " Montrose, Dec. 2, 1834." Mr. Leader here distinctly says that he would have supported the late Administration, and consequently he would have supported the present. _ An, unfair inference has been drawn from the allu sion in the adaress to the intention of the then Hon. Member (Mr. Horatio Ross) to retire, that Mr. Leader was opposed to Mr. Chalmers, the present Member. We understand the fact really is, that Mr. Leader went to Montrose on the supposition that there was no real Reformer . in the field likely to suc ceed—that on arriving there he found a notion preva lent (natural enough, owing to several circumstances) that he was not a Reformer, and that rather than en danger the cause of Reform by dividing the liberal interest, and letting in a Tory to a chance of success, he retired in favour of Mr. Chalmers, whose politics no one could or can doubt. The address may not have been worded in the most unobjectionable manner, but there can be no doubt that Mr. Leader, though less decidedly Radical in his politics than at present, was anything but a Conserva tive. The English Universities are hotbeds of Toryism, and the wonder is, not that a young man should on leaving his University be a less decided Reformer than his subsequent experienq leads him to be, but that he should be a Reformer at all.--Morning Chronicle.

In conformity with a long-established practice, Tint wistle was call e d upon to pay a f ourt h o f the ent i re rate. T o this the parishioners lately demurred, alleging that the sur rounding townships, which had become wealthy by the intro duction of ma nu f actures, were b etter a bl e to b ear t h e h eav i er portion of the parish burden. The whole rate does not amount to 1001. a year ; b ut i n squa bb l i ng a b out t h e i r respec tive liabilities to pay this sum, a thousand pounds have been expended 1 All parties are now tired of litigation ; and the only difficulty is to pay the law expenses incurred. The re cusant township offered to pay four-tenths, provided the other townships would discharge the remainder. A very large majority of the ratepayers present objected to the proposed rate, and the attempt to levy it was defeated. The chair was occupied by the Rev. William Johnson, the Vicar of the parish, wh ose ca l m i mpart i a li ty an d di gn ifi e d d emeanour gained the respect of all present. - When will the Tories see the folly of continuing the odious impost of Church-rates, and making the Established Church a burden to all, and the source of endless strife ?—Manchester Guardian. SHlPWREcK.—Extract of a letter from Mr. Allan Goodridge, merchant and magistrate, dated Renews, New foundland, April Bth, 1837, to Messrs. M‘Bride and Kerr, St. John's, Newfoundland :—" I lament to communicate the melan choly fate of nine unfortunate men, supposed to be lost on Tuesday night, at a place called Fresh Water, about six miles south of this. Nine dead bodies were discovered on Wednes day last, as also the wreck of a large clinker-built long boat. It appears that they must have abandoned their vessel f or some time, as they were prepared for a long voyage in their boat. They must have fallen in with the land in their boat during the fog on Tuesday night, and ran on shore in hopes to escape with their lives. The cove being full of ice, with a tremendous sea running on the shore, it was impossible for any of them to land. The news only reached this a few hours since. Some of their clothes were marked "A. M.Kean." There seems no reason to doubt that the above ill-fated vessel was the brig Swallow, Captain Alexander M' Kean, which sailed from Liverpool, on the 16th March last, for St. John's, Newfoundland. She was the property of Messrs. and J. Brocklebank, and had a very valuable cargo on board. There also seems no doubt that she had got amongst the ice on the coast, and foundered," MAUNDER'S TREASURY OF KNOWLEDGE. Ninth Edition.

HAPPINESS, "the gay to-morrow of the mind," is insured by marriage. Previous, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of marriage, it becomes an impressive duty not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may hays entailed upon it. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth tog frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hs , pe—energy—muscular strength—felicity. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often cow stitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy im proved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our abi. lity to cure speedily, and with effect. Confident in our own honourable ir.te grity as members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering core munity of either stx especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given for personal consulta tion ; and letters from the country are immediately answered; these must contillii a remittance for Advice and Medicine, describing minutely the case, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant.

Great numbers of pedestrians would very gladly avai lthemselyes of it to enjoy a walk through those beautiful grounds, particularly as the fine dry weather is approaching, in preference to the long, gravelly, and dusty path they are now compelled to take ; for the other entrance, opposite the Horse Guards, is too far out of the way from Spring Garden gate for many to avail themselves of it. The expense of this could not be much, there being a gate there, and a gravel path leading from it. The ship Royal George 477 tons, Captain Wilson, left the West India docks yesterday morning, 17th inst., hav ing on board Col. Sir C. A. Fitzroy and Lady Mary Fitzroy, family and suite, for Prince Edward's Island, whither Sir Charles is going as governor. They were attended on board by the Duke of Richmond, Captains G. and R. Fitzroy, and others of their friends. As soon as the Royal George got into the river, she was taken in tow by a steamer to Gravesend ; their friends accompanying them thither. - - - CHURCII-RATES.--On Monday, at Macclesfield, an attempt was unsuccessfully made to sell by auction the goods which had been seized from several members of the Society of Friends for Church-rates. The people would not make a single bid, and the goods bad to be carried away. What does the Church gain by these exhibitions? LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 16.

CONT Marri WANDSWORTH FAIR. Yesterday Wandsworth, decidedly the best suburban fair west of the metropolis, terminated, after three days' dura tion, during which it was visited by thousands of the mid dling and lower classes of society, without, we are Lzppy t o say, the slightest infringement upon the rural games bei;, g attempted by any would-be-overbearing Aristoera:.y ; and it was gratifying to find that the nobility, gentry, and magis tracy resident within the vicinity promoted the nesnifold amusements, to the great delight of the visitors, who, re lieved from the cares and fatigue of their several occupa tions, determined to have a" jollification," being impressed with the idea that relaxation at times was positively neces sary for the body as well as the senses, in crder to create fresh vigour upon return to business. There was scarcely a landlord either in Battersea, Wandsworth, or Putney, but sent forth his _programme of amusements for the en tertainment of the town and country folks. A variety of prizes were given by the hosts of the several inns and taverns for donkey racing, climbing a greasy pole for a leg of mutton, jumping in - sacks, running fir a shill-, gingling matches, single-stick, wrestling, &c., and the can didates in general were very numerous, and their exertions likewise produced considerable fun and laughter. There were aquatic sports on " Old Father Thames," and the numerous rowing and sailing matches afforded plenty of life on the water. In the fair there were a large num ber of eating and drinking-booths, and the edibles and potables were disposed of with a rapidity that would have astonished the renowned " Dando" had he been present. The ball rooms, dancing-booths, or " hops," as they are technically termed, were crowded almost to suffocation ; but, nevertheless, they were fair specimens of gbod nature, pleasure, and happiness. It is true that at each assembly a master of the ceremonies at tended, from the metropolis, to arrange the dances and keep good order ; but the fact was, there was nothing like ceremony about it. Pride was out of the ques tion ; every man .was as good as his neighbour, and the female' portion of the company, the delicate votaries of Terpsichore, were all alive and merry on the " fan tastic toe !" The assemblies generally commenced with quadrilles and terminated with country dances ; and there was no time nor room for criticism respecting the steps —every one did his best, and hops, skips, and jumps passed unnoticed. There were a number of theatrical shows, and on this occasion "the tag-rag children of Thalia, Melpomene's poor mob," mustered strongly, and great were their endeavours to "astonish the natives." A branch of the renowned " Muster " Richardson's show, in which were the united companies of the late hero of Bartleniy and Scowton shone Conspicuous, and some idea may be formed of the celebrity of the movements of " the heroes of the sock and buskin," when it is stated that in many of these practical theatres a five-act tragedy or melodrama, in which three murders were perpetrated, and as many ghosts in blue, green, and red fire made their appearance, and vanished through vampire traps, together with a comic song, a ter rific broad-sword combat, and a pantomime, was played in -the short space of 20 minutes by Shrewsbury clock. The. equestrian and tight an 3 slack-rope performances were good. There were also Jim Crows, conjurors, fire-eaters, learned pigs, wild Indians, white-haired infants, and fat boys in abundance. Such were the humourous features displayed at this ruaCc. fete at Wandsworth. It was all happiness ; every body appeared pleased and satisfied, and not the slightest disorder occurred. EXTRAORDINARY CHASE. On Tuesday morning between eleven and twelve o'clock, a dashing cabriolet, containing a gentleman of most warlike appearance, so far as " whiskered fierceness" went, and who was accompanied by a very diminutive " tiger," was ob served to make the circuit of Dorset-square so frequently, that the attention of several of The inhabitants became at tracted. The gentleman appeared to be evidently on the " look-out," as he stopped frequently at the corner of Upper Gloucester-street, and gazed earnestly in that direc tion. At length he was observed to spring from the cab and advance hastily to meet a lady who came down Glou cester-street, and' whom he instantly handed into the ve hicle, and, springing in himself, he dashed off at a rapid pace up Dorset-place, towards the Regent's park. Five minutes had barely elapsed before a tilbury containing two gentlemen, one of whom, an elderly man, exhi bited signs of great agitation, drove up to the square, and after asking some question of the man. who sweeps the crossings relative to the cab and its freight, they followed on the track of the fugitives, accompanied by a person named Wilmot, who, happening to be out exercising a horse, and learning the particulars, determines to witness the conclusion of the affair. On reaching St. John's Wood-road, the pursuers were at fault, but were soon put on the right track by a policeman, and they pro ceeded along the road towards the Church, on arri% jog at which the cab was perceived passing Lord's Cricket-g;•ound towards the Edgeware-road. The purs uers now strained every nerve, and were gaining considerably on the cab, when the " tiger," turning round, and perceivin g the pur suit, gave an alarm, and the cab went a-head at a tremen dous speed, gained the Edgeware road, and dashed off to the right. The elder of the two pursuers, apprehensive of an escape, shouted . out, at the top of his voice, " Stop! stop 'cm!" By this time, several persons had joined in the pursuit, and amongst the rest a fellow in a dog -cart (whose vehicle,. though " least," was certainly not " last") joined the party," to twig the fun," as he said. On arriving at the turnpike on the Edgeware-road, the fugitives re ceived a check, in consequence of a coal-waggon com ing through at the time, and the delay was fatal to their hopes; for the whole host of pursuers—gigs, horse men, and dog-cart to boot, came up with them ; when a scene ensued that baffles description. The younger of the two gentlemen, who commenced the pursuit, rushed to the cab, and, seizing the lady's companion, he-pulled him out, and, having the advantage in point of strength, he com menced thrashing the exquisite most soundly, amidst the laughter of the crowd. His companion, the elder gentle man, was meanwhile engaged in venting his feelings, in a strain of no very gentle import, upon the lady, whom he addressed as his wife, and who did not appear to be thirty. The exquisite at last escaped from the hands of his assail ant, and, after sundry threats about " satisfaction," he jumped into his cab and drove off. The other party placed their prize (?) between them in the gig and retraced their way. It was said that the lady is the wife of a retired stock-broker, residing in George-street, Portman-squbse.. The companion of her " trip" is a gentleman well known at the west end, and noted for his dabblings in " monetary" as in " matrimonial" affairs. FREDERICK•STREET MURDER. Considerable excitement yesterday prevailed in this city in consequence of _a report being generally circulated that a man answering the description of the foreigner Zu chelli, the suspected murderer of Eliza Davies, of the King's Arms, Layton-place, London, had been taken into custody here on the preceding evening. On Wednesday the in dividual above referre to arrived at the Plough public house, Southgate-street. In consequence of his appearing in an agitated and distressed condition, and being desti tute of the means of providing for his subsistence, the landlady, Mrs. Garvan. made_ his case known to Mr. Douglas, the relieving officer for that district of the Bath Union. Mr. Douglas immediately called at the house, and finding the statement made by Mrs. Garvan to be correct, he. offered the applicant an order for admission into the work house until such time that he might recover from his indis position. This offer he readily accepted. It was not till Sunday evening that the relieving officer had any suspi cion that the foreigner confined iii the workhouse was the, Idividual who had — beru guilty of - the dreadful Crime whiclt as been just perpetrated in the metropolis : The desc rip— tion of the supposed murderer, as given in some of the: London papers, so exactly accorded with that of tha prt— s'iner, that Mr. Douglas was induced at once to have Lima taken into custody on suspicion, and he immediately applied to Hall, the chief city officer, for that purpose. Whetx brought into the governor's room at the workhouse, the prisoner still continued to be greatly agitated. The first step taken by the officer was to examine his clothes and papers, to► see if any thing could be found on his person, so that his identity might be clearly proved. In reply to a question as to what direction he was taking on his journey he stated that he had just landed at Southampton, from France, and was: proceeding on his way to London. He also said that he had never been in the metropolis of England. On being asked 171. the officer where he purchased several articles of his wer.E. iog apparel, he replied he bought them in Havre ; btrt it was discovered, on examining his hat, that it had the, mark of " Perring, maker, Strand, London." His boots, :although stated to have been obtained at the same place, were stamped with the maker's name," West, Arcade, Strand,, London." Some papers, too, found on his person, would seem to make it appear that he was not altogethera stranger in this country. It should a l so be b or ne in mind that via: Bath is rather a circuitous route from Southampton too London. The particulars and depositions which were yes— terday taken before the- Worshipful the Mayor have beers. transmitted to Sir F. Roe ; and when an answer, witht other particulars, shall have been received, the examination will belurther proceeded with. The accused has given hiss name as Eugene Courreir.—Bath and Cheltenham Gaiettc4 The uthiecan is a small "fish which is found in ti-ge rivers in the neighbourhood of the rocky mountains in An-,e rica. This fish, of which the colour is a bright yellow, is SO rich that it may be burned, in case of need, instead of a can-. die ; and indeed in this way it is frequently employed by the . natives. The uthlecan makes its appearance in immens e shoals and luminous mastics. The native Indians tz:ke in small nets in enormous quantities. They are eaten. dried, and in this state they are hung up in rows in the hut* of -013 natives as dried fruit is among us.
