When he heard the whistle, he turned round and saw the ergine go over the men. Did not hear any person call out, " train up." If a driver knows that men are ballasting the line, it is his duty to sound the whistle before bringing up his train. The driver did not do so on this occasion. We re ceived our orders here to ballast at six o'clock that morning. The driver of the train could not tell that we should be at that particular spot. Did not know whether it was generally known to the drivers that the line was being ballasted. CORONER—Iias any person spoken to you on the subject of the evidence you were to give here? Wit • ness—No. Mr. Maynard, who appeared on behalf of the com pany, told the Coroner that it was the desire of the company that the fullest investigation into the melan choly affair should take place. No communication whatever had taken place between the company and the men. It is only fair towards the company that we should state that the officials showed every disposition to as sist the Coroner and jury. Mr. George Richardson, the superintendent of the coaching department, Mr. Ashcroft, the superintendent of works and ways, Mr. Gooch, the locomotive superintendent, and Mr. Roney, the secretary, were all present, and ready to give any information in their power. Walter Capper, a guard, said he resided at Brain tree. He was on the up passenger train that morning. He was standing on the left hand side footplate. Snow don was driving. At Shenfield we slackened our speed, and came slow down to the bridge near the station. It being very Peggy the driver shut off his steam. We were going at the rate of eight or ten miles per hour. Be tween the first and second bridge at Brentwood sta tion, at about twenty yards in front of us, we saw some men in the front of the line in a group. The driver immediately sounded his whistle and reversed the engine, which brought it to a stand still at about 200 yards from where the accident happened. It was very foggy in the cutting; we could not see forty yards a-head of us. There were three of us on the look out on the engine at the time. We first sounded the whistle when we passed Shenfield station, again between the two bridges, and finally when we saw the men. We no sooner saw them than we went upon them. We generally blew the whistle when we passed curves. We never know where the men are ballasting. Snowdon had been en the line about three weeks or a month. There was a fog signal on this side of the accident, but none on the other. They ought to have provided themselves with fog signals for their own protection. Snowdon is a very steady driver. At this stage of the proceedings The CORONER addressed the jury. Ile said he was quite willing to continue tha proceedings if the jury wished it, but as it was then 10 o'clock, and as there were several witnesses to examine, he thought it would be advisable to adjourn the proceedings. Mr. Ellis, the deputy chairman of the company, said before the jury broke up, as many questions had been asked respecting the driver Snowdon, he thought it right that he should state that Snowdon, although he had only been in the employ of the company three weeks, had been for nine years on the Maryport and Carlisle Railway, and brought with him excellen testimonials. THE AWFUL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. NINE LIVES LOST. BRENTWOOD, THURSDAY EVENING.—An accident of the most appalling nature occurred on this rail way yesterday morning, by which no less than nine men were instantaneously hurried into eternity. At eight o'clock in the morning a number of men, vtiho were eng'iged in new ballasting the line, were at work near the bridge just beyond the Brentwood station. Having discharged a quantity of gravel be tween the rails, they jumped from the waggons and commenced spreading it over the ground, and while so engaged the early train from Colchester ap preached the spot. Unhrppily, in consequence of the J dense fog at the time and the noise of the engine of the ballast -trucks blowing oft' its steam, the approach of the up-train was unheeded until it was within fifty yards of the workmen. The foreman of the gang cried out to the men, who. by some strange ) fatality st e pp e d on to the up- li ne i nstea d o f on the I middle space. The engine passed over nine of them, causing instant death in every :case, and mutilating the bodies in a frightful manner. As soon as possible the train was stopped, and the bodies of the sufferers were conveyed to the shed at the station. The utmost horror and consternation prevailed in the neighbourhood for some time, and, as usual, the most exaggerated reports as to the extent of the cala mity began to be circulated. Anxious relatives were momentarily inquiring at the station, and many were with difficulty convinced that some friend or con nexion was not amongst the number of the victims. A. telegraphic dispatch was immediately forwarded to London, and Mr. Glyn, the deputy-chairman of the company, Mr. R oney , Mr. S. Ellis (director), Mr. Gooch (superintendent), and other gentlemen, were promptly on the spot. The most searching investi gation was made as to whether the train was out of its time, the rate at which it was travelling, and the probable cause of its approach not being perceived. The spot on which the occurrence took place was a curve between two bridges, about 480 yards asunder, and a gentle incline towards the Brentwood station. The cutting is rather deep, and the embankments are of an amphitbeatrical form. It is therefore difficult to conceive how the sound of the approaching train should, under any circumstances, not have been heard. The names of the sufferers are James Fisher. James Wardel, William Butler, John Sheppey, William Hurrell, William Burrell, B. Hales, William Ward, and James Brown. At six o'clock in the evening Mr. C. C. Lewis, the coroner for the eastern division of the county of Es sex, held an inquest on the bodies at the Railway Hotel, near the station. Several of the directors were present, and a good deal of excitement prevailed amongst the inhabitants of the immediate neighbourhood. The jury, having been sworn, proceeded to the spot where the bodies lay. It is scarcely possible to con ceive a more terrible sight. All were frightfully mutilated, and in one case no trace of the human form remained, Several of the relatives were present in order to identify the bodies, but in the majority of cases recognition was difficult. On the return of the jury, Benjamin Neythorp, a time-keeper on the Eastern Counties Railway, was sworn. Having been per sonally acquainted with all the unfortunate men, he was first examined as to their identity. He then stated that at eight o'clock in the morning the deceased men, with about sixteen others, were engaged in unloading several ballast waggons. He went to the place where they were engaged, took their time, and walked towards the Brentwood-station. When he had got about 150 yards away, he heard someone on the top of the bank cry out "train," and on turning round he saw the engine rushing through the men. He ran back, and found eight men quite dead, and one died about a minute after his arrival. The men had unloaded the ballast-waggons and jumped out, some between the rails and some on the up-line. The train which came up at the moment was due at the station at six minutes past eight o'clock. The morning was very foggy—it was impossible to see 200 yards distinctly. There were twelve ballast trucks and the engine attached was blowing off the steam and making a great noise. He heard a whistle from the train approaching. When the man on the top of the bank cried out " train," immediately after the engine was amongst the men. Had been engaged on railways for the last six years. It was usual for the up-train to whistle about half a mile from the station, just between the two bridges, where the accident happened. The fog was sufficiently dense to prevent the driver of the engine from seeing them beyond a distance of 120 yards, until it was too late to stop. The train was going about fifteen (idles an hour. Has read the rules of the company in reference to passen ger and ballast -trains and to signals. In case of a dense fog, signals are placed on the line within a dis tance of 500 or 600 yards of the station. An intima tion that the train was due was given to the men. A man named Battle had a watch in his hand when witness passed, and he said, " Now, chaps, look sharp, the train is near l y due." He spoke, in reference to the up-train. A man had been sent from the station with a red flag, to keep engines from ap proaching too rapidly. It was generally known to all drivers that that portion of the line was being ballasted ; the men had gradually worked down the line. There was no particular arrangement of signals for telegraphi ng trains on different up-lines. In this case the train and ballast waggons were on different lines. Could not say whether the steam of the up train was on or off. It was not necessary to signal the up-train, as it was on a different line. Thomas Wilson, a bricklayer, said he saw the de ceased men engaged in unloading ballast waggons. He was walking along the top of the embankment, and was proceeding to his work. The men got out of the waggons on to the up-line. The engine of the ballast- waggons was blowing off steam. Witness saw the passenger train coming up, an d cried out to the men, but none of them appeared to hear him, and consequently the engine ran over them. It was a foggy morning, and witness could not see more than six or seven rods before him. The passenger train whistled for about half a minute before reaching the men. It left off just before coming up with them. The train was not going very fast. The train did not stop until it got to the Brentwood station. Could not say whether the steam was on or off. He could see better up the cutting than down it. The fog lay near the ground, and was thicker were the men stood. bgaallnagst to Thomas f C th a e ldwell, a pl a te -layer, said that he was nt r h e e a he d deceasedthe spot m en where be longed. Th e the accident t oo k place about a quarter b efore eight. waggonswhich Shortly after the men got out of the waggons he heard the whistle of the up-train, and called out to the men, " Look up." Before he had well uttered the words the train had knocked d 'wn five of the men, and immediately after two more were killed. Wit ness jumped on to the ballast waggons. The fog was very thick at the time ; a man could not see more than fifty or sixty yards before him. It was the whistle of the engine which caused him to look, and the engine was not more than sixty yards off, the dis tance between two telegraph posts. Has been em ployed eighteen years on the railways. Could not state exactly the pace; of the engine ; was too much frightened at the scene he saw. The engine did not approach faster than usual. It was usual to come at a slow pace into the station during foggy weather, and this train came at a slow pace. The rails were not covered with ballast, but the space between the two lines was covered with ballast. Could not say that the reason why the men stood on the up-line was because of the central space being covered with bal last. Not more than half a minute elapsed from the time the men jumped from the waggons until they were run over. It was generally known amongst the men that it was train time. Some of the men stood on the top of the ballast heaps between the lines and escaped. Mr. Henry Marriage, of Broomfield, a member of the Society of Friends, said that he was a passenger by the eight o'clock train. The morning was foggy, and the fog was very thick in the cutting between the bridges. Witness was in the last carriage, a second class. A gentleman in the carriage observed that an accident had happened, as he saw two men knocked down. The breaks were suddenly put on, although the train was going slowly. It went on to the station. Mr. Henry Soper deposed that he resided in Spital square, London, and that he was a passenger by the train. His attention was first called to the fact by seeing Tupper, the guard, on the engine, beckon two men en the bank to go back. The morning was very foggy. The train pulled up immediately after the accident. Heard the whistle before the accident took place. Had passed the first bridge before he heard the whistle. Did not hear a continuous whistle before. Knew yawn 1w arrived at Brentwood that nine per sons had been killed. The reason he attended was to state that there could not be any blame attached to the servants of the company. John Batter deposed that he was a time-keeper. After they (the labourers) bad unloaded the ballast train, he gave the driver the signal to come back, and as he started he (witness) got into the last wag gon. He then heard the sound of a whistle.

The CORONER replied that his object in opening the inquiry was that the unfortunate men might be buried. No doubt the company would call some witnesses, and therefore, under all circumstances, it had better be adjourned. After some further discussion, the inquiry was adjourned. ALARMING EXPLOSION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) CARDIFF, SEPT. 13.—Last evening, about eleven o'clock, a most terrific explosion took place on board the brigantine Gertrude, Captain Newman, laden with a cargo of Duffyn steam-coals, shipped by and belonging to Mr. Thomas Powell, coal-merchant, of this place, bound to Liverpool. Four men (on board at the time) have been seri ously it.jund ; one is lying in a most dangerous state and ❑ot expected to recover. The effect of this explosion was felt a considerable distance—in Crokerbtown, and even at Cantor, and in an inn about a quarter of a mile from the vessel, so great was the shock, that the inmates ran out in the greatest terror and amazement, believing the house to he falling upon them. The appearance of the vessel this morning shows how suddcn and terrific the explosion must have been. The whole of the decks, from the after-part of the fore rigging, are entirely blown up ; all the brains broken, th windlass, bits, &c., drawn out, and the fore-part of the vessel an entire wreck. Surely this ought to be a warning to the shipping interest to be inure cautious in taking on board this description of coal, through which several similar ac • cidents have occurred. It is somewhat extraordinary that there has never been a single occurrence of this nature at Newport, which is only twelve miles distant, although steam coals have been shipped at a much earlier period than at Cardiff. Either greater care is taken at Newport, or the coal at Cardiff must be of a much more in flammatory nature. Captains of vessels here loading the same coals view this explosion with much appre hension and fear, and will no doubt take every pre•. caution to guard against a similar occurrence ; it has, however, made such an impression that time only can remove. [PRICE SD. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES. DONCASTER, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—The unlooked-for issue of the first " heat" fur the St. Leger, and the im possibility of obtaining particulars in time for the train, obliged us to forward our parcel from the course with out the usual details of the running, and to rely on the electric telegraph for the result of the deciding heat. The following gill serve to complete our report of the moat exciting St, Leger-day ever known. FIRST lIEAT.—Th e vett took place about twenty five minutes past three, Beehunter taking a clear lead immediately after quitting the post, followed for a few strides by Russborough. and then by Windis chgrutz. Russborough ing next, in company with Chatterbox and Voltigeur; Italian end Pitsford in the rear. The rearmost horses closed with the ruck in rising the hill, and before they had got to the mile post Pitsford was in advance of Russborough; half way between there and the Red House he went up to Beehunter, forced the pace, and headed him round the turn, Bolingbroke and Russborough waiting on them, the Italian and Voltigeur (the latter having been disappointed in attempting to go up) lying in the rear. At the bend of the rails, about a quarter of a mile from home, the two leading horses were beaten, and were passed by Voltigeur and Bolingbroke, the former lead ing about three parts of a length; next to them from the distance came the Italian, and outside of them, fourth, Russborough. This lot ran well together to the stand, where Bolingbroke was disposed of. Russborough then went up, but coming in collision with Bolingbroke, drove him against the Italian, whose jockey asserts that it deprived him of a fair chance of winning. Be this as it may, Russborough cleared them a few strides from the chair, and Robinson, by one of his splendid efforts at the finish, made it a dead heat, Marson, who evidently looked for danger on the left instead of the whip-hand, having to use the persuaders to save the race, Boling broke was beaten nearly three lengths; the Italian was fourth, and Beehunter fifth. Run in 3 min. 21 secs. DECIDING HEAT.—Betting-6 to 4 on Voltigeur, who laid a couple of lengths from the Irish horse until with in the distance, took the lead from him half-way up, and won cleverly by a length. Run in 3 rein. 24 secs. The cheering, waving of handkerchiefs, and throwing up of hats, on the winner returning to scale, lasted for at least ten minutes. Such a scene of excitement, we venture to affirm, has never been witnessed on this or any other race-course, indeed, the St. Leger of 1850—the third in succession carried off by the winner of the Derby, and the second for which a dead heat was ever run —may be fairly pronounced one of the most memorable on re cord. The concourse was so immense that after the dead heat it was impossible to keep the course clear, and in the succeeding races, from the mobclosing in upon them, horses and riders were placed in imminent peril ; that Marson and Robinson piloted their horses safely through the living avenue up the distance is a miracle. The races were brought to a close a few minutes after five o'clock, and then ensued a scene at the station, of which no description can give an adequate idea ; for hours was the place literally besieged, and hundreds were unable to get away until long after midnight, and many who did got into the wrong trains and travelled south instead of north, and not a few had is remain in Doncaster all night, half fa mished and bedless. As a proof of the unprecedented number present, we may mention that, although liberal provision had been mado at the houses of entertainment in the town, several were, to use a vulgar expression, " (at out of house and home " before the day was half over. It is no small triumph for the authorities of Don caster, and.for the management of the different railway companies, that in the midst of such unavoidable con fusion not an accident or disturbance of any consequence occurred. We must not close our account of this event ful day, without adverting to the disgraceful want of accommodation at the Post-office; with business enough for a dozen clerks, there was ony one little beggarly pigeon-hole for the delivery of letters, many, in conse quence bad to wait for hours before they obtained their letters. It is to be hoped that the authorities at head quarters will give the post-master a " rap on the knuckles;" assuredly ho richly deserves it. The subscription-room was fully attended at night, and the dead heat having induced nearly all to hedge, made the settling comparatively harmless. Some brisk speculation took place on future events. The following were the latest prices:— DONCASTER CUP. 6 to 1 on The Flying Dutchman CESAREWITCH. 12 to 1 agst Russborough 25 to 1 agst Landgrave 16 to 1 agst Backbiter 25 to 1 agst Knight Errant 20 to 1 agst Don Mot 25 to 1 agat Chantrey 20 to 1 agst Mulgrave 25 to 1 agst Nutcracker CAMBRIDGESHIRE. 12 to 1 agst Turnus 20 to 1 agst Loadstone 15 to 1 agst The Italian 25 to 1 agst Calmar 16 to 1 agst Ilarriott 25 to 1 al , ,st Foglcman 20 to 1 egst Miss Ann 30 to 1 nagley 20 to 1 agst Mulgraye DEBBY. 7 to 1 cgst Grecian 25 to 1 agat Storm. 4 to 1 apt I Prime Minister TIIURSDAY.

INAUGURATION OF THE CORONATION STONE OF THE ANGI.O-SAXON KINGS AT KlNGSTOX.—Yesterday the inauguration of the coronation stone of the Anglo-Saxon Kings, the ancestors of our illustrious Queen, took place in the presence of the Mayor and corporation, attended by the burgesses and a numerous assembly of visitors. The Right Worshipful the Provincial Grand Master of the Freemasons of the county of Surrey, assisted by the brethren of the pro vince and other masons, took a prominent part in the cere mony. This stone, until lately, stood on the north side of the old church. According to Speed, the historian, nine of our Saxon Monarchs were crowned in Kingston, the stone being used as the royal seat during the ceremony. It has been re moved during the present Mayoralty to the centre of an open space near the savings bank, directly opposite High-street, at the turning into the Portsmouth-road. There it is placed on an heptagonal pedestal of granite, which stands on a circular base of the same material. It being uncertain whether two of the kings mentioned by Speed were crowned at Kingston, the corporation have selected the following seven, whose names, with the dates of their respective coronations, are inscribed on the faces of the pedestal, viz. :—Athelstane, A.D. 921; Edward, A.D. 940; Edred, A.D. 946; Edgar, A.D. 959; Edward 11., A.D. 975 ; Ethelred 11., A.D. 979; and Edmund 11., A.D. 1016. The monument is encompassed with iron railings, having a pillar finished with pinnacles at each of the seven angles. At the conclusion of the ceremony the mayor, freemasons, and visitors proceeded to the grounds of Charles Rowlls, Esq., where an elegant clejeuner was pre pared. At half-past four o'clock, the children belonging to the schools assembled at the monument, and sang the Na tional Anthem with, a very pleasing effect; after which they were presented with books and medals, struck by Mr. Taylor, to commemorate the event. A series of aluatic sports at Town's-end followed, and the festivities concluded in the evening with a grand display of fireworks.

A MERICA.—LIVER POOL, Tfl URSDA Y..—Tne United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, is now due. She may arrive at any moment, however, unannounced, the marine telegraph to Holyhead being obstructed by fog. Pro. bably she has encountered the easterly winds met with by the Royal mail steamer Europa on her passage, BARBICANS OF CASTLES. In a paper read at the Lancaster meeting of archaeo logists, by Mr. George Godwin, "On the Barbican, in connexion with our Castles," he says—" If we look into a dictionary for the meaning of the word barbacan, or barbican, we shall find it called a narrow opening left in the walls of buildings liable to be overflowed, for the water to come in and go out M, or to drain the water from off a terrace; or an outer defence or fortification to a city; a kind of watch-tower; any outwork at a short distance from the main works; and a cleft made in the walls of a fortress to fire through upon the enemy.' We do not from this get a very clear idea of what a barbican really was. The etymology of the word is doubtful. It has been sought in barbacana, low Latin and Spanish; barbacane, French; lock.in-einermaver, German, &e. Spelman, the antiquary, derives it from the Saxon burgh and kenn, a place to view or ken from. There is a street in London, near Redcross-street, in Cripplegate, still called Barbican,' from a watch-tower, and where, by the way, Spelman died in 1640. John Milton lived also at one time in Barbican. Camden, in his 'Britannia,' (published 1586), says, when describing London, The suburb also which runs out on the north-west side of London is large, and had formerly a watch-tower or mili tary fence, from whence it came to be called by an Arabic name—llarbacen.' Stow writes at the same place—' On the west side of the Rtd Cross' (whence Red Cross-street) 'is a street called the Barbican, because some time there stood on the north side thereof a burgh henin, or watch-tower of the city, called in some language a barbican, as a Likening is called a beacon.' As early as 1232, according to Britton's 'Architectural Dictionary,' we find in a charter,' Antonurali qui dicitur barbacana, qui est murus brevis ante murum nostri orti.' Spenser, in the Faerie Queene' (b. ii.), has— ' Within the barbican a porter sate, Day and night duly keeping watch and ward.' - - And Ben. Jonson uses the term in his 'Epithalamion,'— ' That far all-seeing eye could soon espy What kind of waking man He had so highly set, and in what barbican.' The extracts I have quoted refer to the barbican mainly as a watch-tower or outwork of defence, and this is the idea which generally attaches to it. In a letter, however, addressed (June, 1837) to the Society of Antiquaries, Mr. Planche states that Oliver de la Marche says, that at the siege of Oudenarde, A.D. 1452, Anthony bore a great white standard embroidered with a barbacan; and at the Pas de r Arbre d'Or, sixteen years afterwards, the same author describes him as issuing from his pavilion, on a horse trapped with tawny velvet, embroidered with large barbacanes, with flames issuing out of them, and letters of his device, all worked in gold thread.

The town having been placarded for about a week prior to the day of meeting with bills call ing upon the inhabitants generally to come forward and express their opinions upon the question of protection, the greatest possible interest was attached to the proceedings which we have received ; but the oratory, according to the report) by no means justified the alleged excitement. The first resolution was moved by Dr. Brent, who abused Sir Robert Peel for having imposed the income-tax. It was to the effect that it was "desirable to form, in connection with the Devon and Exeter Protection Association, a com mittee comprising the twenty six parishes of the Tiverton polling district, for the purpose of obtaining full and effectual protection to every braitch of British industry." It was carried, after being seconded by Mr. R. H. Clarke ; and after speeches had been delivered by Mr. Williams, Mr. Potter, Mr. Kinder, and other local Protectionists, the meeting separated. But little was said about Lerd Pal merston. There are 1,093 children in the Industrial School* at Kirkdale. There has been a diminution in the cost of keep. The coat per head last week was Is.

Sin,—As it might possibly be thought, from the police reports of this case, which have recently ap peared in your journal, that I had other but a strictly professional connexion with Mr. David Hart in the matter, I trust to your known sense of justice and strict impartiality to give insertion to my positive assurance that I know nothing more of the transac tion relating to the bill in question than that Mr. David Hart left it at my office, in my absence from town, to be presented for payment to Lieutenant Stack—that Mr. Palmer, of my office, under the direction of my managing clerk, did present it—that Lieutenant Stack snatched the bill from Mr. Palmer's hands—that, therefore, no other course was left my clerk to pursue but to bring the matter before the magistrate, or to have left me personally liable to Mr. David Hart for the amount of the bill ; and that, finally, I have no connexion with Edward or Robert Jones, the alleged drawers of the bill, nor, indeed, any knowledge of these parties whatsoever. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, J. A. JONES. 9, Quality-court, Chancery-lane, Sept. 19. - ---- - GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR THE ENSUING WEEK. (From the Gardener's Chronicle.) As we may soon look for cold weather as a natural consequence of the season, it behoves us to secure all our more tender plants immediately, lest we be taken by surprise, as many were last year. But for the present, even in less favourable localities, we would only put the most tender of our greenhouse plants under cover, as we dislike crowding the houses as long as it can be avoided, and there are many plants whose constitutions will allow of their being freely exposed for some time longer; as a familiar instance of this we may mention the cytisus, acacias, &c., and as the Rowers of many such plants are valuable through the winter, the continued exposure will retard their season of blooming. In very cold localities, cryean themurns in pots should be placed in a cool house, or under the shelter of a wall, where they can be pro tected by drawing down a canvas in severe weather. Many plants whose wood is properly ripened may at once be removed to a cool light shed - facing the north, or place I beneath the stage of the geranium house; the situation should, however, be such, that frost can be effectually excluded without entirely depriving the plants of light. These will include fuchisas, hydran geas, {)lumbago capensis, hibiscus, brugmansia sari guinea, erythrina, bouvardia, hedychium, canna, liliums, and a great many others that have done fhwer ing, and only require protection from frost, and a moderate exposure to the light. By removing these, a greater space will be afforded for plants with healthy foliage. Balsam., ckscornbs, and other annuals which have been cultivated for decorating the plant houses during the summer, must give place to the winter occupants, as they require the space. The propagator must be very active to get his cuttings struck while he has the advantage of genial weather; and that they may have the chance of get ting fairly established before winter sets in, a strong force should be kept at such work till it is completed. If the cuttings are put in early they have a much better chance of striking, and have a longer time to establish themselves, so that one early-struck well rooted plant will go as far as two or three weakly things at planting out season ; and when we consider the numbers of the latter that dwindle away during the winter, the disadvantage of delay is too obvious to need more comment. Young plants of campanula pyramidalis, antirrhinum, and other plants which re quire a slight protection, should be placed in a suit able situation. All these arrangements should, as far as practicable, be completed at once, so that the hands may be clear when the weather becomes so severe as to render it necessary to take up and pot the old plants required for another season. To this end, pits, frames, boxes, pots, &c., should be prepared, that when the job commences it may be completed as quickly as possible. No time should be lost in corn ' mencing any extensive alterations or improvements which it is proposed to carry out this autumn, as the ground is in a much more workable state now than it will be two months hence, and any shrubs shifted immediately will have time to strike fresh roots be fore winter. If cardeons will be required for the use of the kitchen before November, a few should new be earthed. It is a common practice to wind haybands round the stems, to keep the soil out of the hearts of the plants; but there are several objections to the practice, and particularly in very cold or wet ground. In such cases, the haybands unavoidably absorb moisture from the surrounding soil, and are thereby decomposed, thus forming a harbour for insects, and a natural conductor, by which the frost is admitted, where the object should be to exclude it. In such ground, we would prefer to surround the stern with a casing of sand or fine coal-ashes. In very dry sandy soils, the evil does not exist to so great an extent, and to such ground an admixture ofsand or ashes would be Injurious ; but where it is of a stiff clayey nature, such an admixture will ameliorate the texture of the soil, besides being more suitable for the preservation of the crop. In any case do not allow the outer leaves to be stripped off, as they are much hardier by reason of their exposure, and form a natural guard to the more tender leaves within. Where soil is used, let it be as dry as possible, and made fine with the spade before it is placed round the plant. Let any plants be taken up which, in spite of the rich manure given them, are beginning to run into flower. As they are of no use when blanched, but as the foliage is so noble, we generally make use of these by planting them in open spaces about the clumps in th e p l easure ground. If the ground is properly enriched, they form very interesting and striking objects. They are excellently adapted for planting near the margin of water. The spring -sown onions should now be taken up and laid out to dry thoroughly before being strung and hung up for the winter. As the weather of our autumns is so very precarious, they should, if possible, he spread out thinly in an open shed; but if such a place is not at comm ~nd, the next best is a bard dry greve l . walk, from which the rain can pass freely off. Gby all mean, as soon as pos sible, them to be thick together, nor et t 1 but iern ate` urd noter cover, be in too great e, hurry to bunch them up. &quan tity of parsley should now be gathered and dried ; it answers as well as the green for esery purpos e ex cept garnishing, and by securing a . supply before hand, the demand of green leaves during winter is considerably diminished. Do not neglect to gather in due season ridge cucumbers, nasturtium seeds, radish and bean pods, Chillies, and other matters required for pickling and preserving. He who sports compliments, unless he knows how to take a good aim, may miss his mark, and be wounded by the recoil of his own gun.— Eliza Cook's Journal.
