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 engag ed _ 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 if 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 prietors suggest that Booksellers, Auctioneers, Estate Agents, Manufacturers of Horticultural, Agricultural, and Gardening Im plements and Apparatus, Nurserymen, Florists, Seedsmen ' Land scape and o th er G ar d eners, S ervants i n wan t o f pl aces , an d Masters in want of Servants, Seedsmen, Fruiterers, Importers of Foreign Produce, & e ., w ill f i nd 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."—Laspeetor and Literary Review, 14s. 17.. 20s. 20s. 225. 28s. 345. 40s. 245.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY. THE DERBY. Two hundred pounds laid out upon Jereed at 7 to 1, and a strongly marked disposition in many quarters to bet against Brother to Bay Middleton, have materially increased the space between them. There can be no doubt that anybody would have betted 10 to 1 against the latter had his friends, or rather his late friends, been induced to back him. Mango was backed for about one hun dred pounds, anti Mahotnetan for twice that amount, at the odds qu..ted below. Hybiscus, hitherto in the outside class, rose, first to 25 to 1, and just at the close to 20 to 1, both taken. Darda nelles also improved, but was not backed.

SlR,—Wis?ling to see the celebrated Alexandrine copy of the Scriptures in the British Museum, I strolled there the other day, and rang at a bell in the entrance hail, according. to the direction given me. It was answered by the Reverend Librarian, who told me he was not the proper person to show it to me ; and, after observing something of ao irregularity in my application, he conducted me to another official, whose steps I followed through several rooms of the Library (interesting from the number of students and readers assembled in them), till we arrived at the door of a small apartment, where I was told the treasure was deposited. On knocking at the door it was opened by a handsome gentlemanly man, of a, bookish, savant kind of air and look, who received me politely, though with a manner that seemed to say, " You are somewhat of an intruder, Sir." Having told my errand, and modestly requested to have my wish gratified, the gentleman hesitated and ob jected ; he said my mode of proceeding was not in due form— my visit should have been sanctioned by a Governor's order. Atter a little further bandying of soft and civil words (the gentleman having previously remarked, that if every one were permitted to apply like myself, his time would be entirely oc cupied in showing the book), I freely acknowledge that he did at last very courteously submit the precious manuscript to, my inspection, and remarked upon it like a scholar—a " ripe and good one," for anything I know to the contrary. If the pas sage of Scripture, " Increase our faith," occurred to me at the time, I shall be excused, perhaps, as a minister of religion, in remarking here, how affecting and impressive the words seem in connection with the actual sight and touch of a record of an antiquity, so corroborative of Scripture truth ; giving, as it were to the soul's view, as substantial realities, those aw ful wonders and glorious truths, it must be " misery to doubt and madness to despise." I take for granted, Mr. Editor, the gentleman is tenant of that snug little room, not on his own private account, but as a salaried servant of the Institution, that is, of the public or na tion. Your readers will readily anticipate me with respect to any further remarks the subject might suggest. It is very grateful to the Englishman who wishes his country to be first and foremost in all that is great and good, to see the national reproach somewhat lessened amongst us, which the character of our public Institutions has in too many instances brought upon us :—but, instead of meanly and lazily following in the wake of other nations with respect to a liberal, enlightened, and generous policy in all interests, why should we not (like the generous racer) nobly start at once to the bead of all; and gain that position universally, which will cause all other na tions to look up to this with an unmixed sentiment of honour and admiration ? It is a serious consideration, Sir, that a mass of means (physical and moral) almost incalculable, is possessed by this country, to give an impression to Europe (the world I may say) the most important for the best interests of man. Most serious is our responsibility in the possession of such re sources ; and most lamentable is it to thick how much national a iciliated notions, and the weakest prejudices have been suf- Cred to interfere with their power and influence. Your's, Sir, respectfully, Chapel-street, Edgeware-road. W. M. Feb. 24, 1837. N. B. I shall shock Sir Andrew and his disciples no little I fear, Mr. Editor, i n o b serv i ng , t h at our _N at i ona l M useum will never be half so efficient as it might be 'till open on Sunday After noon ; when the decent of the lower orders, in their SundAy garb and manners, and thousands of the middle ranks, enjoy their only opportunity of visiting a place so interesting and in structive—and surely I 'may add, Sir, where they will be in the direct way of receiving an impression not only very benefi cial, but beautifully appropriate to the sacred day. lam sorry to say, Lord Stanley's " Certainly not," in answer to Mr. Hutne's wry, the other night, whether Sdnday was to be an open day at the Museum, and the " Vehement Cheering," the Times speaks of, is inauspicious ; and a sign that a little of the old leaven still remains, which has always regarded man's im provement with a sinister view, or obscured vision ; a spirit ever deprecating the idea of founding the religion, virtue, and happiness of God's intelligent offspring upon k nowledge.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 11.—The Columbia, steam-vessel, arrived on Thursday, from the North coast of Spain, last from Plymouth ; she left Passages on the 3d instant, in company with the Comet steamer, which has come home in consequence of the defective state of her boilers. These vessels bring no intelligence of any importance from the scat of war. The Columbia proceeded to Woolwich on Thursday. The Vernon, 52, Captain Al' Kerlie, arrived to-day from the Mediterranean, and proceeded to Sheerness, without coming to an anchor. She has been six weeks on her passage from Malta, having touched at Barcelona, Gibraltar, and Tangiers, and was detained eight days in the Gut by strong westerly winds. She brings accounts that Mr. Davison, the African traveller, was killed in the vicinity of Timbuctoo, but whether this is a repetition of the account which has been already con tradicted, cannot be ascertained. The Snake, 16, Commander Milne, arrived on Tuesday, from Chatham, and will proceed in a day or two for the WeA India station. The North Star, 28, will proceed to-morrow for the north coast of Spain (calling at Falmouth fur Commander Cory), having received this evening, from the Flamer steamer, a large supply of blankets and shoes, brought from Woolwich for the service of the Legion. The Flamer then p s roceeded to Plymouth. The Ariadne, which is intended to lay at Alexandria as a coal-depot, arrived on Wednesday with a cargo of coals from Leith. She will proceed to her destination under the escort of the Princess Charlotte, when Sir Robert Stopford sails to supersede Sir Josias Rowley in the Mediterranean command.
