THE GARDENER'S GAZETTE, A WEEKLY JOURNAL OF SCIENCE, LITERA TURE, AND GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. The Proprietors of this Journal, without resorting to the usual plan of boasting as to the number circulated, which is invariably a deception, are content to solicit Advertisements upon the credit of its name and connections alone. That it is in general circulation among a very large, influential and wealthy class, which at this period are actively engaged in promoting Floriculture and Horticulture throughout the United Kingdom, as well as the middle and 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 ofiers this advantage. Without dictating as to the kind of Advertisement adapted for the Journal, or rather for which the Journal is adapted, the Pro prietors suggest that Booksellers, Auctioneers, Estate Agents, Manufacturers of Horticultural, Agricultural, and Gardening Im plements and Apparatus, Nurserymen, Florists, Seedsmen, Land scape and other Gardeners, Servants in want of places, and Masters in want of Servants,. Seedsmen, Fruiterers, Importers of Foreign Produce, &c., will find it a much more eligible and effective me 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 sufficient portion of the Paper, to the exclusion of any other Ad vertisement of the same class or kind, and be accommodated with any number of the papers (at the cost price), which they may thus send (post free) to all parts of the United Kingdom, and the British Colonies.

" Amongst the numerous medical and surgical works of the day, we consider that written by Dr. Courtenay on Syphilis and other frequently fatal complaints, to be worthy of the highest encomiums, and justly deserving the serious attention of all those persons who may unfortunately happen to be afflicted with the maladies which form the subject of this very interesting publication. The lumi nous views taken of these diseases, together with the important warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise; and we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with much delicacy and morality."—lnspector and Literary Review. ~~ No. 13,865.

A clumsy younker wrote to his friends in the country that he was about to try the stage for a livelihood, and was coming out on Thursday night. He hoped they would lend him all the assistance in their power. He received, in answer, a warm great coat, several pair of thick stockings, a long horsewhip, and a pair of leather gloves, with a letter, c ontaining some information ab ou t h orses, and a charge not to drive fast down hill, as the roads were very slippery, and that, as he was coming out in the evening, the family would be sure to sit up for him. On the afternoon of Tuesday, Mr. John Chapman, butcher, of Egham, committed suicide at Stanwell, by shoot ing himself with a horse-pistol. The deceased, who was - an old inhabitant of this place, and was highly respectesl, has been in an exceedingly n.rvous state of mind for a long time since. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL' S-YESTERDA Y. THE DEEM The betting was rather flat at the commencement, but rallied towards the close, and for the last hour was uncommonly animated. The two cracks were backed for about two hundred each at 8 to 1, and the same odds afterwards offered against them. Phantasima, Mango, Dardanelles, and Wintonian; found supporters at last week's prices without making any advance ; indeed, the only horses that derived any actual improvement from the money laid out were—Caravan, Troilus, and Mahometan, who are severally five points better than on the last betting day. Three new outsiders made their debut, viz.—Mustee, Victorine colt, and Chadlington (all in John Day's stables), the odds being taken about each to fifty or sixty pounds, at 100 to 1 ; Chadlington ran, a severe race with Defender at Stockbridge; but has since been amiss.

The contents of the ad vices from New York of the Ist instant, brought by the new London line of packet ship, the Mediator, have given satisfac tion, as they represent that trade was very active there in British manufactures as well as other goods. The exchange on London had been quoted as high as 104 premium. The packet has brought over, we understand, about 10,0001. in so vereigns, and 90,000 dollars in silver, on merchants' account. This is the first large importation of gold which we had reported since the drain for it for exportation commenced last year. United States Bank Shares had reached 118,41, and most of the other Stocks were on the advance. The arrivals of cotton at New York had been rather extensive, but the exports up to the 26th ult. had been 364,853 bales against 303,100 bales at the same time in 1836.—Morning Herald.

The fate of the Ministry is now in the balance. The Irish Corporation Bill, the Bill on which they have deter mined to try their strength and to stake their political ex istence, is again under discussion. Whatever may be its sctccess in the House of Commons, there is little doubt but ft will be finally rejected by the Legislature and by the na -1 tion. Our readers cannot have forgotten the manner in which Lord John Russell introduced this Bill some nights ago. They cannot have forgotten how his Lordship con trived to incumber the question with the defence of Lord Mulgrave's pranks in the emptying of gaols, in the distri bution of law offices, magisterial appointments, and other freaks of power which have characterised his Lordship's performance of royalty on the theatre of the Sister Island. But an inquiry naturally suggests itself--why was the ques tion of Corporations for Ireland thus incurnbered and con founded ? We answer, for the very reason expressed in those terms. The simple question of whether the poli tical introduction of the same municipal institutions into that country which have been introduced into England and Scotland, was too plain and direct to answer the pur poses of party manamvre. It is the usual process of reasoning (when fair reasoning is intended) to set aside all extraneous matter—to cut away excrescences and ex uberances of every kind, instead of ingrafting and ino culating the parent stock with their injurious varieties. But such a process did not suit the present policy of Mi nisters. Still, however, as the debate advances the confu sion begins to subside, the real question stands out more promptly, and the artificial incumbrances drop down of their own weight and disappear. Any one who reads the debate of last night will recognise this improvement in dis cussion. Lord F. Egerton, though he could not altogether disembarrass it from the topics with which it was so art fully overlaid, did much by his temperate and manly speech to simplify the confusion. Most of the speeches that fol lowed, however objectionable some of them might be in other respects, seemed to have benefitted in that particu lar ; they applied closer to the question. But the striking effort of the night was Lord Stanley's eloquent and masa. terly appeal. We do not envy the understanding that could resist its influence, nor the ingenuity that could per vert its meaning, for the only purpose that persuasion can serve—deceit. Upon the whOle, we may pronounce with confidence, that up to the present moment the discussion has been atriumphant one for the:Opposition in that House, nhich the Ministers boast of as their strong-hold. But though the triumph of argument does not necessarily im ply its success on a division, the impression which it is cal culated to make upon the public mind will not go for nc thing. A little time will be sufficient to show whether its nflucnce may not be more extensive than circumstances ave hitherto conspired to pronounce.—lliwating Herald. MANUELLA, A. ROMANCE OF MADRID.—A novelist could scarcely select a better locale for a work of fic tion than Spain, especially when the present agitated state of that country is considered ; as, independently of its national peculiarities, dear to romance beyond those of any other land, we have now battles, sieges, and Court intrigues, to keep the reader's attention perpetually on the alert. The plot of this tale is involved in a mystery which cannot fail to be dear to the lovers of romance ; and the characters, both real and ficti tious, are conceived and delineated with the subtle hand of a master. Nothing can be more touching than the heroine, Manuella, whose many trials and sorrows entitle her to rank with that tribe of female martyrs evoked almost into actual existence by the spells of genius. Such personations as this seem to give reality to the airy realms of romance; and recol lection dwells on them as though they were creatures of flesh and blood, and not mere phantoms of imagination.—Naval and Military Gazette. Among the efforts of eloquence in the House of Commons last night, none appears to have created so general a sensation as the speech of Mr. Borthwick. No sooner was it found that the Honourable Member had possession of the House than a general commotion was observed on the Tory benches, which presently afterwards took a direction towards the door, and ultimately became a rush towards the lobby. By a singular coincidence the other side of the House appeared to concur in the propriety of this course, and joined the " Move ment party." This appears to have had. some effect on the Tories, who were observed to return to their seats ; and shortly afterwards, silence having been restored, the Hon. Member was allowed to proceed with his speech ; but unfortunately not twenty of those deluded Whigs for whose benefit it was con cocted had remained in the House to profit by it.—Morning Paper. SATAN AND HIS PERRS.—We would seriously ask certain parties why the new novel of " The Gambler's Dream, or Satan and his Peers," should have been issued to the world on the same day that the commission for opening Par liament was issued ? Was it accidental, or was it intentional ? No sooner was the publication known to have excited much uneasiness in the minds of a leading few than it suddenly be came sought after by all classes of readers. There is most assuredly a searching, a powerful, and at times a fearful in terest in " The Gambler's Dieam," the characters in which are admirably cloaked in mystery ; nevertheless, in Satan and his Peers—who are made to narrate their dark influences upon earth, and give episodes of their lives that are truly start ling—the attentive reader may discover terrible, yet graphic, portraitures of a knot of influential coroneted men, for many sessions a plague on both our Houses.—Morning Paper. On Saturday Mr. William Hopkins, landlord of the public-house at Bridgend, desired a young man named Wiliam John, of Newton, who was conducting himself improperly, to leave his house, which he refused to do. Hopkins obtained assistance, and put him out. The fellow, when released from the bands of the ejectors, deliberately took a large clasp-knife from his pocket, opened it, and stabbed Hopkins several times in the side and bowels, after which he made his escape, but was taken on the following day at Lianelly. Hopkins died shortly after of the wounds.—Hereford Journal. On Wednesday a young gentleman named Gun, about 13 years old, who was on a visit to Dr. Bevan, of Mon mouth, to whose lady he was a near relation, went out to shoot sparrows in the neighbourhood ; in addition to his guu he had provided himself with a small pocket pistol, which he carried loaded about his person. In consequence of the youth not returning at his accustomed time, great anxiety was felt and search made through the neighbouring woods, when ul timately the poor boy was discovered doubled up near a hedge, in a field near the house; the pistol had by some means gone off, killing him on the spot. Mr. Gun, the father of the deceased is now on the continent.—Hereford Journal. We rejoice in having to record the further triumph of Liberal opinions in this town. While the whole country is simultaneously petitioning Parliament for the abolition of Church-rates, Northampton wanted one further demonstration of feeling to show that the opinion of the town was in favour , of their entire and immediate abolition. This was given on Monday last, at the first open meeting of the Council._ Northampton Chronicle. Mr. C hambrith, our English physician, attached to several legations, and who enjoyed a highly honourable re putation, has died suddenly at his own residence. He is deeply regretted by those to whom he was known. —Brussels' Paper. WHITECHAPEL.

" Entering upon it with unaffected diffidence, well knowing how little my studies had been directed to its peculiar duties, I was yet strengthened by the determination then expressed so to discharge the authority with which I was invested as ' best to protect the rights, to respect the teener's, and to guard the reputation of all who could be affected by its exer cise.' I was sure that if successful in this, I should be par doned for errors which I could hardly expect to avoid. " In the interval that has since elapsed it has been our lot in this Assembly:to pass through scenes of unusual excitement ; the intense interest in absorbing topics which has pervaded our whole community could not be unfelt within these walls. The warmth of political parties natural in such times—the unguarded ardour of sudden debate and the collisions seldom to be .separated from the invaluable privileges of free discus sion, have not been unfraguently mingled with the more tran quil tenour of ordinary legislation. I cannot hope that, in emergencies like these, I have always been so fortunate as to satisfy every one around me. Yet I permit myself to think that the extent to which my decisions have been approved by the Senate is some evidence that nly efforts justly to administer their rules have not been vain ; and I conscientiously cherish the conviction that on nooccasion have I departed from my early resolution, or been regardless of what was due to the rights or the feelings of the members of this body. Though I may henceforth be separated from the Senate, I can never cease to revert with peculiar interest to my long connection with it. In every situation in my future life I shall remember with a just pride the evidences of approbation and confidence which I have here received ; and, as art American citizen, devo tedly attached to the institutions of my country, I must always regard with becoming and sincere respect a branch of our Government entrusted with such extensive powers, and designed by our forefathers to accomplish such important re sults. Indulging an ardent wish that every success may await you in performing the exalted and honourable duties of your public trust, and offering my warmest prayers that prosperity and happiness may be constant attendants upon each of you along the future paths of life, I respectfully bid you farewell." Mr. Van Buren then retired, and the Senate proceeded to ballot for a President pro tem. The ballots being deposited, there appeared to be 38 votes given-19 necessary to a choice —of which Mr. King, of Alabama, had 27; Mr. Southard 7 ; and the others were scattering. Mr. King, of Alabama, was therefore declared to be elected President pro tem., and he was conducted to the chair by Mr. Benton. The fallowing letter from President Jackson to his niece, Mrs. Emily Donelson, shortly previous to her decease, we copy from the - Washington Globe of Friday week : " My dear Emily,--Your kind acceptable letter of thellth inst. was received on the 23d, whilst I was confined to my bed by a severe hemorrhage from the lungs, which threatened a speedy end to my existence. But with sincere thanks to a kind Providence, who holds our existence here in the hollow of his hand, I have so far recovered as to be able to write you this letter, to acknowledge the receipt of yours, and to offer up to Him who made us my most sincere and hearty thanks fur his kindness to you in restoring you to health again, and with my prayers for your perfect recovery, and that you may be long spared to superintend the bringing up and educating of your dear children, and be a comfort to your dear husband, who has a great solicitude about you, and great anxiety to speedily return to you, but my sudden attack has detained him. I rejoice, my dear Emily, to find your spirits arc good, and that you are able to take exercise daily. This is necessary to your perfect recovery ; and I trust in a kind Providence, that in time you will be completely restored to your health. You arc young, and with good care and good treatment will outgrow your disease ; but you must be careful not to take cold this winter, and as soon as Dr. Hunt's prescription reaches you, I would advise you to pursue it. The digitalis, I fear, is too exciting to the pulse. " The doctor tells me I lost from the lungs. and by the lancet and cupping, upwards of 60 ounces of blood, which stopped the hemorrhage, without the aid of that potent, but pernicious remedy to the stomach, sugar of lead. lam now mending as fast as I could expect, and if I can keep clear of taking cold this winter, I hope to be spared, and to be able to return to the Hermitage in the spring, and again have the pleasure of seeing you and your dear children, to whom pre sent me affectionately. " Me dear Emily, the chastisement of our Maker we ought to receive as a rebuke from him, and thank him for the mild ness of it—which was to bring to our view, and that it may be always before us, that we are mere tenants at will here. And we ought to live daily, so as to be prepared to die, for we know not how soon we may be called home. Then let us re ceive our chastisements as blessings from God, and let us so live that we can say with the sacred poet— ' What though the father's rod Drop a chastening stroke, Yet, lest it wound their souls too deep, Its fury shall be broke. Deal gently, Lord, with those Whose faith and pious fear, Whose hope, and love, and every grace, Proclaim their hearts sincere.' " I must close with my blessings to you and the children. May God bless you all. Emily, farewell. " Affectionately, "ANDREW JACKSON." (-From the New Orleans Bee.) INTERESTING FROM CUBA.-In treating of the late events which have transpired in the island of Cuba, we cannot pass over in silence the noble conduct of Captain William Jones. commanding the English sloop of war the Vestal. This ves sel having been called to St. Jago, in order to afford protec tion to British subjects, in case their property or persons should be endangered by the events which were anticipated, the Cap tain became acquainted with the state of affairs and the dis sensions that agitated the country. It appears that at first he supposed that even Havannah was infected with the spirit of discontent, which was ready to burst out at St. Jago.. But on arriving at the latter place, and walking along the noble pier, constructed by the untiring zeal of the Governor-Genc ral, he saw nobody but quiet citizens examining the work, and bestowing upon their illustrious chief the applause that he deserves. The English captain, finding matters in this fa vourable condition, and seeing that the thinking portion of the public as well as the soldiers were devoted to the Queen, offered his mediation to put an end to the troubles, should he be formally authorized by the Governor to do so, and if he were permitted, to guarantee the safety of the small number of persons who had committed themselves. Receiving the authorization at St. Jago, he succeeded in convincing the revolters of their error, by exhibiting to them the moderation of the people, the discipline of the troops, and the entire obedience and submission of the rest of the island to the will of the Governor-General. He reproached General Lorena° with his guilty conduct, recalled to his mind the duties and obligations he owed to his superior officers, and finally succeeded in bring ing the drama to a happy conclusion, while at the same time he literally fulfilled in everything the instruc tions of the Governor-General. No Spaniard, however de voted to the interests of the monarchy and to humanity, could have stronger claims upon our gratitude than Captain Jones. Honour and glory to the Royal Navy of England ! Eternal gratitude to the illustrious commander of the Vestal, who in these tropical regions has rendered homage to the throne of Isabella 11. This noble act of reconciliation concluded by fixing the time of 48 hours to be offered to those who chose to accept the indemnity from the highest authority in the island. Never theless, the time elapsed without this act of grace being claimed by the small number of revolters. A cannon fired in the evening of the 20th of December, the taking down the white flag and hoisting the red in its place, gave notice that the conciliatory office of the British captain had ceased. Subsequent news, already published in the Bee, informed us that perfect tranquillity was restored to the island. TIDE.---Yesterday afternoon the waters of the River Thames rose to a most unusual height, to the great inconvenience of the inhabitants on its banks and the de struction of much property. The tide was a spring one, the ni)on being at the full at 23 minutes after 2, within a few mi nutes of the period named for high water, but the tide con tinued flowing until 3 o'clock, at which time the low land and streets near the river, particularly at Blackwall, Charlton, Deptford,. Limehouse, Shadwell, R o therhithe, Wapping (where a boat was for some time in requisition in High-street, near Execution Dock), Westminster, Lambeth, and the Bat tersea marshes were overflowed, and property was floating about in all directions. The wind during the night blew a hurricane from the north-west, which had the effect of driving the waters up the channel ; and the heavy falls of rain during the last few days, and particularly on Sunday, brought down a flood from the uplands. The cellars, warehouses, and ground floors of the granaries on both sides of the river were filled with water, and in many places the inhabitants had to make a precipitate retreat from their dwellings. At the Essex- adjourned sessions on Tuesday a most melancholy scene of the depravity of a whole family was exhibited in the trial of a father, mother, and two sons, on different charges of theft. William Harvey and his son Wil liam were first tried and convicted of stealing a lamb at Elm don, and sentenced to transportation for life. Stephen Har vey, the second son, was next tried and convicted of stealing three pigs, and sentenced to be transported for seven years ; this scene of guilt was summed up by Mary Harvey, the wife of the first and mother of the other convicts, being tried and acquitted on a charge of stealing four glasses—Suffolk Chronicle. We regret to have to add another loss to the ship ping belonging to Perth. The Juno, Pattullo, formerly of Berwick, but latterly purchased by a gentleman hi this neigh bourhood, sailed last Saturday with a cargo of potatoes for London. The day being squally, the bar was dangerous, and it is supposed that she had been endeavouring to cross, and finding it impracticable, she foundered in attempting to tack, and the crew, five in number, went down with hen—Glasgow Herald. lyi ' V r,--- : .......; I ..:j •4, ::_. :i .. .
