Great numbers of persons were allowed, on Saturday, to in spect this last home of our late respected Sovereign, at the undertaker's, Mr. Turner. of Bond-street. It is quite similar to its predecessor, that of George IV. The wood of which it is made is the finest Spanish mahogany, which, however, is not visible, from its sombre covering. The ornaments are few and solid, consisting of brass gilt. The interior of the coffin is lined with white satin. It is seven feet three inches long, two feet ten at the broadest part, and two feet deep. The lid has at the top the royal arms, in solid ormolu ; at the bottom the insignia of the garter. In the centre it has a large plain brass plate, with the following inscription : CA !ABRIDGE, JULY I.—The sermons at Great St. Mary's Church, to-morrow ( Commencement Sunday) will be preached by the Vett. Archdeacon Musgrave, and the very Rev. Thomas Musgrave, Dean of Bristol. It is worthy of remark that the parish of St. Mary furnishes on this occasion its awn preachers, as both the learned gentlemen arc natives of that parish. The Vice-Chancellor has appointed this day for Charles John Vaughan, of Trinity College and Henry Anncsley Woodham, of Jesus College ; and Monday, the 3d of July, for Ds.

I believe that in consequence of my enjoying the distinction of being your Repre:.entative, the Spanish Government, in the great ~4, contest in which they are engaged between the representative system and arbitrary power, invited me to a cominaild of a portion 4of their armies.

My political principles are well known. To my past conduct in Parliament I refer you as a test for the future.

(From the Leeds Intelligencer of Saturday.) LEEDS.—In the Cloth Halls on Saturday there was a full attendance, and a general feeling prevailed that things wore a more favourable aspect, ald, indeed, there were symptoms of business, though we cannot say that prices have improved. The worst is evidently passed. A great number of persons arc out of employment in the borough, and some of them suffer severe distress, owing to the Whig non nsi ricordo Poor-law system. If a starving man, and his poor lean wife and family, apply to the parish officer, the answer is, "No power." If an appeal be made to the magistrates, the same answer, "No power." Oh, no, no power to do good—plenty for the opposite ; there's a power of mischief. With regard to wool, we think the lowest point has been attained, though sonic of the staplers say nay. In Germany, purchases have been made at the spring fairs fully 25 per cent. higher than the same kind of wool is now selling for in Leeds. On Tuesday there was more ani mation than we have of late seen, and the holders of most kinds of goods confidently look out for an advance. BRADFORD.—There was an improvement in the piece market on Thursday, and prices have become firm—a pre lude to an advance. There is also a disposition to purchase yarn at the old prices. The wool trade is dull, and prices nominal. HUDDERSFIELD.—No material alteration in the trade of this district ; but the aspect of the market indicates an ap proaching improvement. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—WC have had more in quiry and a greater extent of business done in combing wool this week than for many months past, and though we can not note any improvement in prices, yet there is evidently a better feeling and more confidence in the market than has rzisted since the present panic commenced. All short wools still remain very dull, and the prices in them merely nominal. YORK WOOL MARKET, JUNE 20.—Our Wool Markets have become so inanimate and deficient, both in supply and demand, that its transactions lose a great deal of its conse quence, so much so as to render it very difficult to give a faithful report of its transactions. We have to-day had a limited supply of wool, with a fair attendance of buyers, yet, notwithstanding this, but a small comparative quantity of business has been done. In justice to all parties we are bound to say the turn of the market has been, if anything, in favour of the grower. Unquestionably a groat deal of wool is in the growers' hands, and the only rational way we can account for their absence from our markets is the low state of prices hitherto maintained. Good bred Hogs, I l id. to 121 d. ; All Hog and Ewe, Sid. to II d. ; All Ewe, Bd. to 9d. ; Locks (with Cots . ), 6d. ; ditto (without Cots), sd. per lb. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, JUNE 26.--There has been a very fair market to-day, and a considerable quantity of goods have been sold of every quality. The buyers seem desirous to purchase, but they want goods at very low prices. Wool has been steady to-day, and the prevailing opinion appears to be that it is already at its lowest.

In Fgyptian a fair extent of busines: has been done, though the pres sure to sell has, in some instances, caused a further decline of 1,,1 d. to %d. per lb. to be submitted to. Brazil, Pernam, and Bahia are rather more saleable ; in Maranham there is no change.

I knew that we went through the manoeuvres of the day in a very creditable manner, and that our appearance, bearing, and general state of discipline deserved approbation ; but I fancy now that the en. comiums bestowed upon us were exaggerated. Not content to feast us, after the review was over, upon roasted sheep and hogsheads of ale, the Prince of Wales caused it to be an nounced that he has adopted us as his own regiment, and taking away our old buttons, gave us new—richly plated, and stamped with the ostrich feathers, and the motto of the princi pality.— Gleig's Hussar. On Friday afternoon between the hours of four and five o'clock, the workmen in the employ of A. Spottiswoode, Esq., New-street-square, were thrown into a state of great confusion in consequence of the following fatal occurrence —Mr. Spottiswoode having lately had two new rooms built, had, for the accommodation of the workmen, adopted a plan for conveying the forms from the machine-room to the cons posing-rooms; consequently a trapdoor had been made in both both floors, and which were situated near the doors of both rooms. A compositor of the name of Joseph Grapes, having to go to another part of the building, and meeting with another workman at the door of the top floor, but wishing to avoid in conveniencing him, stepped back, and unfortunately lost his footing, in consequence of those trap-doors being carelessly left uncovered, and was precipitated to the bottom floor, a height of 25 or 26 feet. In his fall his head came in contact with the edge of the lower trap-door, which dislocated his neck. He was immediately conveyed to Bartholomen's Hos pital, where lie expired shortly afterwards.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, AL r 1. NEWDIGATE V. NEWDIGATE. A suit had some time since been instituted to ascertain whether Mr. Newdigate was authorised to cut down cer tain ornamental trees upon an estate left to him by his fa ther during his life, without impeachment of waste, " ex cept as to the timber growing on the lands adjoining to the capital messuage." The defendant was decreed to pay the profits received from the sale of such timber as had been cut down, and the costs to be paid as between solicitor and client. An application was now made for the payment of interest upon the proceeds of the timber from the time of its being cut down until the payment of the money into Court ; and also for the costs which had arisen since the suit, and which it was stated had been caused entirely by the defendant, in furnishing an account most intricately framed, 2nd the consequent difficulty of separating the timber which had been properly, from that which had been improperly, felled. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, in giving judgment, said that the original decree must be strictly adhered to. His Ho nour directed that the costs of all parties should be paid out of the fund in Court as between solicitor and client, and that the defendant should pay over the balance, amount ing to 86/., of what was originally decreed to pay. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, JuLY 1. HORNE AND OTHERS V. CORY. _ . This was an action to recover a sum of money claimed at expenses occasioned by demurrage. The declaration stated that the plaintiffs had sold a cargo of coals to the defend ant, who had undertaken to use due diligence in unloading the same ; that due diligence bad not been used, whereby the plaintiffs had been forced to expend certain money!, &c. It appeared that when the plaintiffs' vessel arrived in the River notice was given to the defendant ; that the plaintiffs provided, according to custom, a number of whippers to get up the cargo ; that tl►e defendant did not send lighters alongside, and that three baulk days occurred. These baulk days are so named on account of the whippers on -board the vessel being ready to get up the cargo, but being prevented from doing so, in consequence of there being no lighters alongside, so that they are baulked in their work. During the time they remain on board the shipowners arc compelled to pay them at the rate of ss. Id. per day, and a gang generally consists of nine men who will unship 49 tons a day. The charge of the plaintiff; was for the pay of the gang of whippers for the baulk days, and also for demurra g e for the loss of time occasioned by the defendant not providing in a proper manner for the unloading of the cargo. Several witnesses were callt(1 for the plaintifT3 to make out their claim. The Jury found a verdict fur the plaiutiffm—Datnages 21/., finding in favour of both claims. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 1. LACY V. OSBALDISTON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant for the recovery of a sum of 1001., and also for non-performance of an agreement. Mr. Sergeant WILDE appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. PLATT for the defendant. Mr. Charles Rowcroft, examined by Mr. Sergeant 'FAL FOURD—Ip the Spring of last year witness was Secretary to the Lon - dOn Conservative Association. It was proposed by him, and agreed to by the Association, that a dinner should take place at Covent Garden Theatre. Witness spoke to Mr. Lacy on the subject, and subsequently saw Mr. Osbaldiston, the lessee of the theatre. It was ulti mately agreed that the Association should have the use of the theatre-for two nights prior to the 13th of April, on which day the dinner took place • and during the progress of the arrangemen t s M r . L ac y liad afforded every facility, and was extremely active in forwardin g the views of the Association, in consequence of which , witness was ex tremely anxious to show him some mark of respect as an acknowledgment for his services. 'Witness proposed that perhaps, he might be of service to him in the event of his taking a benefit, and stated so in the presence of Mr. Osbaldiston, when Mr. Lacy declared the he would avail himself of witness's services, and that he did intend taking a benefit. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—You did not look in at the Reform dinner at Drury-lane ? Witness---ph, dear no.-- (Laughter.) Mr. PLATT—If you had you would, no doubt, have had the pleasure of seeing my Learned Friend, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, there.—( Renewed laughter.) Mr. A. Bunn, examined by Mr. Sergeant WlLDE—Wit ness was lessee and manager of Drury-lane Theatre, and had been connected with theatres for about twenty years. The course pursued during witnesses experience was, that the acting manager should have a benefit, and that three weeks' notice of all benefits should be given in the treaory- Cross-examined by Mr. PLATT—The acting manager represents the proprietor in his absence. Mr. S. Price examined by Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD— Witness had been lessee of Drury-Line Theatre, and had been for thirty years connected with theatres. It was the duty of the lessee to appoint the time when the benefits were to take place. Fo rmer ly 200 gu i neas was the sum paid by the party taking the benefit. Mr. C. Kemble, examined by Mr. Sergeant WILDE— Witness had been for many years proprietor of Covent garden theatre ; 2001. or 200 guineas was the usual charge for a benefit before the reduction of prices, and that he had paid, and therefore considered 1501. a reasonable sum under the reduced prices ; the acting manager invariably took a benefit ; his benefit usually took place immediately before Passion Week, and it was so arranged because the public were generally anxious to witness a feast of this description before the fast.—( A laugh.) Mr. James Sheridan Knowles, examined by Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—Was engaged at Covent-Garden Theatre in 1836. Mr. Lacy was the acting manager. Witness took a benefit, and divided the profits with Mr. Osbaldiston, after a certain sum. The gross receipts of a good benefit would, I conceive, be about 4001. Cross-examined by Mr. PLATT—The gross receipts of my benefit did not exceed 2601. Mr. H. Robertson, examined by Mr. PLATT—Witness was treasurer of Covent-Garden Theatre, and had been so from 1822 to the present time. From 1835 to 1836 Mr. Osbaldiston was the lessee of that theatre. Witness should consider that during that time the theatre was a losing con cern. The first season closed in in June 1836, and the ex cess of expenditure over the receipts was 1,767/. 6s. 3d. From the opening of the theatre on the following 12th of September to the sth of October, the loss was 553/. 15s. 5d., exclusive of tradesmen's bills, the amount of which be did not know. From the time Mr. Osbaldiston came to the theatre, the prices of ad mission were reduced, and the expenses of the theatre were also reduced, although not in the same proportion. The lowest sum given for a benefit was 1401., but that sum va ried from 140/. to 1601. It was usual that the acting manager should have the privilege of a private box and writing orders, but these privileges were conceded as a matter of courtesy, and not as a matter of right. Wit ness had observed Mr. Lacy's conduct as stage-manager, and thought that it did not tend to the advantage of the theatre. Some dispute took place between Mr. Lacy and Mr. Osbaldiston, respecting the production of the opera of F, a Diavolo at Mr. Brahain's theatre. Mr. Osbaldis ton had purchased the right of acting that piece at Co vent-garden, and therefore considered that Mr. Lacy had acted unhandsomely in allowing it to be performed at the St. James's Theatre. Ater that disagreement Mr. Lacy acted with great indifference towards the interests of the theatre, but he could not recal the instances, with one exception, and that was in the case of a piece called Zampa, in which Miss Romer played. On that occasion, as Miss Romer left the stage, Mr. Lacy observed to her,' " I won der how you could think of singing such rubbish." The Jury returned a verdict generally for the defendant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JULY 1. ALEXANDER V. GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. • This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the owner of a brig called the George, to recover from the defendants, the directors of the General Steam Navigation Company, compensation for damage done to the plaintiff's vessel by one of the Company's steamers, the Belfast. The case for the plaintiff was that on the 16th of January the brig George, of Hull, laden with corn, was coming up the river, with a small boat before them. When opposite Execution Dock, and on the north side of the middle pool, the Belfast Rotterdam steamer was coming down, having in tow an America' packet, the Ontario. Without hailing, or giving any notice to the persons on board the brig, the steamer struck her across the larboard bow, forcing her on a few yards until she sunk. The entire of the cargo be came spoiled in consequence. The Jury found for the plaintiff; the amount of damage to be settled out of Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Some days ago the Lord Mayor sent a summons, at the request of the Solicitor to the Customs, to a French smug gler to appear at the Mansion-house, to answer the com plaint of revenue officers, who had seized a quantity of silk handkerchiefs, of foreign manufacture, on which duty had not been paid. The Frenchman was not at his lodgings, but the summons was left with the mistress of the house, who said that her lodger should receive it as soon as pos sible. The Lord Mayor, just as he was sitting down to dinner on Friday, received a letter, dated from Boulogne, and subscribed with the Frenchman's initials, apologising for his inability to attend to the invitation, and it was some time before his Lordship called to mind the sort of invitation which had given rise to the apology, which ran thus : "My Lord,—lt gives me infinite pain that I cannot, at the present moment, avail myself of the very warm and hospitable invitation which your Lordship has been pleased to give me to the Mansion-house, especially as there are sonic gentlemen of that very useful and ornamental institu tion, the Custom-house, to be of the party. Will your Lord ship do me the honour to specify my regret to all inquiring friends who may wait upon you on the occasion ? I haye the honour to be, with the fullest respect, your Lordship's most obedient humble servant, J. R." The LORD MAYOR really for some time supposed that the note was an excuse for not coming to dinner, and he thought it fit to state that he should be happy to see the writer when he should find it convenient to call, any day (Sunday excepted) between twelve and three. The pe nalties to which the invited party had subjected himself amounted to about one hundred pounds. Au old Irishman, named fames Flynn, who said that he had'nt been long on this side of the city of Cork, was charged with having stolen a cup and saucer, the property of the keeper of a coffee-shop. The proprietor of the coffee-shop stated that Mr. Flynn had been often at his house, the consequence of which lie had reason to believe was, that several cups and saucers had disappeared. As he was a steady sort of person, who spoke with great contempt of the high episcopal au thorities, for practising against their preaching, nobody supposed that he would plumply violate a command ment. A cup and saucer having been missed, how ever, the moment be took his departure one day, the waiter followed, and asked him to be . so good as to walk back. " Certainly," said he, " I was just going to do that thing, as I made a mistake," Upon returning to the house he pulled the cup and saucer out of his pocket, and laid them on the table, saying, " •What a stupid bosthoon I was to think I was at home all this while." " Aye, but," said the master, " you have made a dozzn mistakes of the same kind here, and ;•ou must go before the Lc.rd Mayor, as lam sure you are noth'ing but a robber." " Sir," said Mr. Flynn, " you keep a carets-shop, get over that if you eao." After some general remarks upon the mean, dastardly, sus pecting nature of the character of the low English, the pri soner condescended to be locked up in the Compter. The LORD MAYOR—You say he has often visited your house? Complainant—Several times, my Lord, and the moment he went, off walked a cup and saucer. The Loan MAYOR—WeII, Mr. Flynn, what have you to ray to the charge? Prisoner—My Lord, I import pigs from Ireland, and I • met one of my customers, and after taking a little whisky together, I went into this poor man's house to wash it off with a cup of what he called tea, think ing that it would make me throw the liquor off my stomach. Well, I found that it hadn't its usual effect, an emetic, upon me, but quite the reverse, so I put the tea-things in my poc ket, I was in such a bother. The LORD MAYOR committed him to I3ridewell for three months. THE LATE KING'S FUNERAL.—IO consequence of the numerous applications made to the Lord Mayor by his fel low-citizens, on the necessity of applying to the Govern ment to change the day of his late Majesty's funeral from Saturday to some other day of the week, his Lordship wrote to Lord John Russell on the subject on Friday last. The following answer was returned to his Lordship on Sa turday : " Whitehall, Ist of July, 1837. "My LOAD--I have the honour to acknowledge the re ceipt of your Lordship's setter of this day, which I have communicated to Lord Melboun::': and I regret to have to inform your Lordship that the date of his late Majesty's funeral cannot now be altered. " I have the honour to be, " Your Lordship's obedient humble servant, " J. RUSSELL." BOMSTREET. FORGERIES ON TILE POLISH BANK.—BC7tjt/Min Yorton, the guard of the Banbury and Birmingham mail, and Na thaniel Hale, an engraver, were charged with having been found in possession of near 4,000 forged notes, purporting to be cash notes of the Bank of Poland, of the value of five florin: or guilders each. After hearing evidence, Sir F. RoE said the case was complete so far as it was necessary to prove it before him, and the prisoners must be committed for trial at the next "Itral Criminal Court Sessions, which will commence this day ( Mon.:I.?). • --- • There have been in : c course of the last week a .. singular number of fashionable Manners at Greenwich. On Thursday the Chesterfields and party dined there, returning, however, in time for the opera. On Fricit:" Lady Es.wi had a party, Lord Sefton another, and LadyjCaoline Masse a third; and on Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Brinsley Sheri.lan. The amusements appear to be divided as follows :—a visit to the interior the Hospital, a walk in the Park, and a whito bait dinner. -,04. It may be in the recollection of many of our reade tb I in our last report (for May) we suggested the ulquir: whether it were possible that, after a season of cold w:athe, unusually protracted, the wheat could be in ear, by t: close of old May. It was on or about the 28th day May, that we penned the question, when the growing crop in all the verdure of health, presenting a lovely green ca: pet to the eye, were still so dwarf in stature, as to leave degree of doubt on the mind, whether the period of harvo must not, of necessity, be rather late. Being perfectly aware of the astonishing progress whicl nature can, and does, make in high northern latitudes, i did not appear impossible that warm rains and getli. nights, might effect a great and important ch.mge and the existing prognostics were then very promisin g In fact, the wind settled in the south, the temperatur , improved, gentle showers fell in sufficient abundance and, under these favourable auspices, the wheat plant whiel we noticed to be about eight iischcs high on the 23d 0( May, grew with vast rapidity. Our hopes would have been realised, and the fortnight which intervened bctweei the 28th and the 12th of June, would have effected all tha: we anticipated, had not the 7th and Bth days of Jun( become extremely cold, with a sharp wind from the north east. Notwithstanding this cause of retardation, we sae fields in the highest condition, in perfect ear, on the 18tI, day. It is'stated that wagers were laid to a considerable amount, and these had produced undeniable proofs of the stimulating powers of heat and moisture—some specimen: of wheat in ear having been collected and exhibited before the entire expiration of old May—i. e. by the 1 1th or 12th of June. Subsequently the weather has been all that the most sanguine could expect. Rains have fallen very sea sonably ; the sun has had great power ; the day tempera ture has ranged between 66 and 78 degrees, and that of the night has generally exceeded 52 degrees. All nature now "sings for joy"—and though a North amptonshire correspondent writes of the very late condition of the crops, and that the fields, verdint as they are, pre sent but a picture of the ordinary concomitants of a fin( April, still we are certain that the last ten days must ha% ( operated, even in that locality, a change which our frien( could not have anticipated. Hertford,hire presents u , with a fair standard of the:state of agricultural progress— and we extract a few lines from a letter now before us : " The report is very favourable—grass is Cutting, and ; good bottom has been induced by the late r (ins, whiel before was not expected. Grain crops are looking ver , well. Stock, which has been hitherto high priced, is fall ing—the green crops (tares, clover, trifolium, (Sze.), arc pro. mising ; apples plentiful, pears the same." We may add, that the leguminous plants—peas am beans—are superior ; the plants firm, strong, and green . Farmers even (and when they admit, who else can do other wise than exult ?)—farmers say they rarely have seen these vegetables so fine, and if a good and early harvest of grain supervene, prices must give way. We again, for th. hundredth time, repeat and urge the immense important( of increased production. Be it the governing principle 0, every good /tad wise cultivator, to render bulk the compen sator, for that best of blessings to a community—a cheat price of all the necessaries of life. We foresee, under Providence, a new era of gloriou , promise ; may " the early and latter rains," with tb , bright solar beam in due alterations " fill our barns witl plenty, and crown the labour of the husbandman will abundant success." HORTICULTURAL NOTICES FOR JULY. How beautiful do the gardens appear—what A display. o' ~ verdure ar.d of bloom !—we enjoy all the pleasure arising from strong contrast, and all has been the work of a fei , short weeks. This is the second season when we have te notice the extraordinary beauty of the early rose trees— i the Chinese (Rosa Indica) particularly. Every thing i- ... I clean, and in this respect the season accords with that o , .1, 1836. The coincidence induces us to call the attentio: , z,; of naturalists, and of all who are interested in the economy and habits of the honey-bee, to one material fact, whici i fl we mention with great caution, and more as a subjet.' of inquiry than of assertion. It is generally ad , mated that honey was scarce in the year 1836 ; tha' :] notwithstandino. the brilliancy of the early sumniet ..._ the bees laid ' up very little store. It is added 1,3 s some that the total absence of honey dew was one grea,..z cause of the deficiency of honey. Most persons imagin r that bees feed solely upon the nectar of flowers, but tiler ,_; are some who think that honey-dew forms a large part 0 tli:: productive aliment of bees. The bloom of app:e an. i, re ir trees has been extremely profuse, and flowers in gene .. ral are finely developed ; the lime tree is absolutely be ~I sieged in the month of July, and white clover is almos • equally attractive ; still, if honeydew be essential, we fez... that the combs will again be weakly stored. Water is a' ~ indispensable for the production of good wax, and the sprint , of 1836 was peculiarly arid ; that of the present yea, • . has been comparatively well supplied with water ; but th bees again seek it in situations, where they drown and pc; isi from utter inability to effect a retreat. The apiary is al adjunct• to a good garden; these hints, therefore, may no. be out of place. 1 In the Kitchen Garden the work will consist. in keeping ' .l down weeds, in hoeing, and earthing up crops of peas beans, kidney-beans, &c. A small sowing of each of tiles, :''. may be made, with the chances of late crops. Brocoli plant: and celery should be set out in richly manured trenches ; thes, should be deeply worked, and enriched with leafy compost, bo , they need not be far below the surface level. In planting then the holes should be filled with water before the vegetable is in ,t 1 serted, and the earth then broken fine ; thus the fibrous r: o will be fixed, or " puddled in," and if the plants be covere, during brilliant sunshine, and watered once or twice aftc: • sun-sct, there will, in the dryest season, Le little danger c! ..: failure. Trench-planting affords the greatest security in ial. dry seasons, and we practise it with early potatoes, brocoli. -.• kidney-beans, tobacco-plants, &c., with undeviatin g s u cce ss • Some winter spinach, endive, carrots, and cabbage-seed fo ' , l coleworts—and again at the ehd of the month—for spring. 4: hearting-cabbages may be sown : turnip-seed also, for a ful: supply. In the Fruit department, great care must be taken t, keep wall-trees in regular and neat order : the ,spur-bearin ; 1:.: trees will now be ready—not for pruning-in, as commonl% k practised, but for the operation which we alluded to in on:" last month's notice. The main branches of dwarf aril espalier trees will be furnished with natural short spurs, am:11 with abundance of wood-shoots, which ought to be con verted into spurs. These, if cut Lack too early, will throw out numbers of useless shoots, but if each be cautiousl' ', bent down till it snap about midlength, the flow of the as cending sap will be checked, but not entirely diverted to tin ', lower buds or embryos. The broken shoots, therefor( should not be detached, but left suspetwiLd. As the scaso: !,! advances, the sap will be more and more retarded, loi t enough will flow to give bulk to the lowest buds ; and i: ! autumn the fractured shoots should be cut back to the then. , risible fruitful buds. The operation is one of tcmporar deter; mitt', but it terminates in comparative symmetry. No t, re supports the rigour of training and the wound. by the knife or fracture, so well as the vine : all fruit-bear ins shoots shouiJ, therefore, be trained in order, kept open t and free from useless, wild wood ; but we think that ever: vine on the open wall ought to be entirely re-supplied eat.) year with new, bearing branches from the bottom of th, tree, so as to get rid entirely of the spur-pruning system -!: the clusters are thereby rendered larger, and the berrii swell to a great size. 1 GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK. (From the Gardener's Gazette.) Plant Winter Cabbages and Savoys fora full crop. Plant J3rocoli alio for a full crop, two feet apart ever way is not too much.
