By observations of this kind, which were made on a number of plants by various botanists, Bchilbler, and before him Bijelow, were led to discover the law according to which this ac celeration in the time of flowering takes place in different latitudes. The result of Schiibler s investigations is, that for each degree that the station of the plant is nearer the pole, the time of flowering is delayed almost four days, and that it is accelerated by the same time for each de gree that the plant approaches the equator,--Meyen's Outlines of the Geography of Plants, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD I SECOND EDITION.

IPORTANT BRAZIL By the bark Cathleen, Captain Bliffen, we are in receipt of Rio Janeiro papers to the 23d ult., some 14 days later than our previous accounts. The Houses of Deputies and Senate were in session, and in the message sent to them by the minister for fo reign affairs, the whole account of the difficutty between the Brazilion Government and Mr. Wise is detailed at length. The minister, after going over all the facts, which are already known to the public, distinctly stated that the action taken on this subject by the Brazilian minister at Washington, was entirely disapproved of by t prices of Cotton he Emperor, and would not be ratified It is not mentioned, however be recalled or not CANADIAN TARIFF.—On the 22nd ult., Mr. Cayley moved the house into a committee of the whole, when a resolution was passed declaring it expedient to grant supply to her Majesty. Mr. Cii - yley, in movinc , this reso lution, said that they intended to propose the abolition of the whole of the differential duties, with the exception of that part relating to books,—in short, to the Copyright Act. At present, reprints of new works copyrighted in England, were prohibited in Canada; he proposed, fol lowing the suggestions of the Imperial Parliament, to levy a duty of seventeen per cent. upon them. He proposed to maae no changes in the duties levied on products simi- lar to our own, such as cattle and other agricultural pro duce, with the exception of that on lumber, which at pre sent yielded little revenue, while it was collected at a very parties living close to the frontier. In addition 'to these changes, it was intended, if the house sanctioned that course, to reduce the tolls on the canals, and to remove the tonnage duties now charged on vessels coming to Que bec and Montreal, payable for the improvement of the St. Lawrence below Quebec. Though the agricultural protection was to be continued, every facilii y would be given for the passage of merchandise through tne Canadian waters for exportation.—Montreal Herald. COTTON CROP, The general statement in the paper •• V 1C,A.,00C4/ cpaditit, Uute nerns had begun to show evidence of a good stand, and that, with genial showers, the young plant would probably thrive rapidly during the next month. Accounts from various dictory features ; but the worst aspect' was, that it was backward, having lost a month all over the country by the cold dry weather which prevented the seed from vegetating about sowing time. The deficiency between this season and the last had increased to 277,000 bales. A correspon dent, dating from ..3outli Carolina, 27th June, says, the prospect of the crop is gloomy, from the previous un favourable weather and the ravages of an insect, which leaves large spaces in the rows, the plant having there died. The stand was bad, and without warm dry weather and a late fall, there was no prospect of a good crop. Most of the plants were not over seven or eight inches high, and it would undoubtedly be late. From Red River the crops are spoken of discouragingly. From. Union District a correspondent writes—" I have entirely nespalred of a cotton crop. The lice, grasshoppers, and other insects, have destroyed one hundred acres of the best land I had. There is not enough left to make ten d the other fields seem likely to share the same A.nother account from Camden dated 19th June, 1847, says that even in the most fertile fields the cot-. ton plant continues to die. It is doubted whether there would be blooms before the 4th July. An early frost would be most injurious. The reports from Columbus (June 23d) are to the same effect. A letter from Mobile, dated June growing crop of cotton, with an average season, 22d, says exceed'2,ooCi,ooo bales: The blooms hii've in small num bers just shown themselves in some locations, while in others they are not yet seen. Consequent on this, it is contrary to the history, of the plant for it to yield of what it would with an average spring. The following statistics, giving the results of early and late bloom and early and late frosts, are also invaluable as establishing the fact that, for a series of ten years past, whenever the plant bloomed in June the yield fell short. The average bloom of this season will not be earlier than the sth of Jnly, and the crop, consequently, will depend more on the chances of favourable weather for the remainder of the season than it has for ten years past. These sta tements were obtained from a factor and Commission merchant of Apalachicola, a gentleman of extensive experience and sound judgment in such matters, who has taken some pains to keep a regular statistical table of this staple : Year—Date of bloom Killing frost.

(Cheers.) He (Sir Thomas Brancker) had been asked why he supported Mr. Cardwell ?- In answer to this, be would say that he supported him because he had known, him from his youthful days, because he had long known and esteemed him, for his worth and talent and industry ; and also for the possession of those quali ties which more especially fitted him to. be the representa tive.of a constituency so large and influential as that of Liverpool. ('" Hear, hear," and cheers.) In his (Sir Thomas's) opinion, he possessed qualifications which were second only to those possessed by Lord Sandon himself. and he (Sir Thomas) need not tell them what sort of a Representative he proved himself to be. (Cheers.) He wolud not detain them longer than to express a hope that every elector who then heard him would, on the day of the election, support Mr. Cardwell, as he would with both a heart and a hand. (Loud and reiterated cheers, in, the midst of which Sir Thos. retired.) were obl L to. look round for men we Mr. CARD WELL then presented himself, and was re ceived with long, loud, and hearty plaudits, When silence was restored, he proceeded to say, that he was indeed most deeply sensible of the honour which had been conferred on him by the electors of Liverpool, in having invited him to become a representative of their influential town in parliament. The natural difficulty which he felt in giving expression to his feelings, was much enhanced by the kind and flattering terms in which he had been spoken of by his kind, and he was happy to say cordial, friend, who had just preceded him. He had invited to Liverpool to succeed one of the most worthy, one of the most valued, one of the most useful, and, he would add, one of the most talented representatives which the House of Commons contained. (Hear, hear.) He felt that he was in no way worthy • to fill the place of Such a man but if he was uot, lie relied on the kind feeling of the gentlemen of Liverpool to enablehim to supply anything in which he might be wanting himself ; and he hoped that he should never be found unworthy of that kind feeling which bad been manifested to him since he came amongst them to solicit the honour of being returned as their representative. He hoped that they would consider that their kind invitation had not been displaced by his not having answered their address until he had given Sir Howard Douglas an opportunity 'of returning them an answer, before he made his appear ance to them. He stood before them as a candidate for their suffrages at a time—and he rejoiced at it—when there was but little political excitement in the kingdom. Such being the case, he was well aware that any candidate who offered himself for the representation of Liverpool:— having any pretensions to success—must be surrounded by most of the very men—he should say, the kind friends— who were then behind him on the platform ; and there now being scarcely such a thing as political animosity known amongst them, it would be very ungrateful in him to make use of any language calculated to create anew the animosities which heretofore existed. (Hear.) He hoped they would permit him, in the spirit of nation ality, not of party, to review briefly the principles and policy which he had had the honour of supporting during -the present parliament. The hon. gentleman then re viewed those measures of foreign and domestic policy which formed the chief features of the legislation of the parliament now drawing to a close, and proceeded to say that if the invitation from Liverpool had not brought him there, he would have been at St. Ste phen's giving his vote in support of the China Committee. and a report, drawn up by Lord Sandon, in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer was recommended to make another forward step, by taking a large portion of the duty off tea. (Cheers.) Sir T. BRANC KER (Hear, bear.) -That is what I call the tea fight.— Mr. CARDWELL continued to say, that a recent French minister had said that all parties were liberal who pro mised progress ; that those only were Conservatives who gave it. (Cheers.) He would, however, if allowed, parody that language, and say that the party who supported and gave progress best deserved to be called Conservatives. He then alluded, in approving terms, of the great increase which had taken place in the shipping of the port during the past Parliament ; and continued to observe, with reference to the Navigation Laws, that their respected and talented townsman, Mr. Bramley-Moore, had told them twelve months ago, that no trade in England supported such a number of the male adult population as the timber trade. And during the present session a committee had been sitting to consider the effect which the Naviga. He believed that no person was anxious to reduce the importance or efficiency of the British maritime power ; but still if any changes cal culated to promote that great source of the country's wealth were to take place, no man, he was sure, would go further to promote them than he would. However, lest he might be misunderstood on this point, he would not give his own opinions, but those of a gentleman from whom, if the occasion arose, he would cheerfully ask ad vice. He alluded to their respected townsman, John Lockett, Esq., who, when giving evidence before the Committee of which he had spoken, said : tion Laws had upon it " 7462. Chairman.] You mentioned in answer to a question of Sir George Clerk's, that you thought some alterations or modifications might be made in the Navi gation Laws.; would you have the goodness to inform the Committee what modifications you think desirable aware v a that there might be some, but that I am not - hat those might be, for that requires more judg ment than I am in possession of, and a more thorough looking into the Navigation Laws." ,464. Mr. Liddell.] What you would wish to da would be to consider any alterations proposed by those who wish to modify the Navigation Laws, and then to give an opinion upon those alterations ?—Exactly." In those opinions he (Mr. C.) fully concurred. He should consider every proposition which came before him, and he would consult the practical gentlemen of the borough, who could best give advice, as to its applicability and useful ness. Then he would endeavour to ascertain what was the tendency of the proposed alteration ; and having done so he would form his opinions, and act on them in the best manner possible for the promotion of that which was calculated to promote the utmost good. And if the objects of any such alteration was to encourage and bring prosperity to the British shipping, such modi fication shall have his hearty support • but if, on the con trary, it be calculat e d to injure this class of the national wealth, it should have his most hearty and uncompro mising opposition. (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman then noticed the recent financial difficulties of the kingdom, and stated that it was quite evident to every reflecting mind that some alterations in the details of the present Banking Laws were necessary ; after which, he said that there was another subject, which although not an exciting subject, yet it was one of the utmost importance—the most vital importance—for there was no question that affected them all so nearly as the question of religion. He was by birth, by education, by, prefession, and by choice a member and supporter of the rotestant church. (Enthusiastic applause.) He had been asked the ques tion whether he had been an advocate for the plan which some said was about being proposed,—for the endowment of the Romish Priesthood of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) He regretted the pre-eminence which had been given to that subject, for he did not believe that such a measure was sought for by the Romanists themselves, nor could he believe that it was contemplated by any. party in the legislature ; but having been asked the ques I tion, he would give a plain and explicit answer to it He was not the advocate or the supporter of tha or any such measure. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) And if asked what the tendency of such a measure would be, he would say, that instead of promoting peace and con cord and public union amongst Christian people, it would be productive of public eviLand religious discord. (Loud cheers.) The hon. gentleman then alluded to the sana tory condition of the town, and declrred himself to be a firm supporter of any measure calculated to promote the health, happiness, comfort, prosperity, or education of the people. He had been in the early part of his life a witness to the election for their town of both Canning and Hits kisson, and in his latter days he had taken some part in the election of Lord Sandon, and he was proud to say that it had ever been his pride to follow in their footsteps. These were the opinions which he entertained, and which it was his duty to make known to them ; and the impor tance of the circle of gentlemen by whom he was sur rounded, induced him to believe that they were the sen timents and feelings of the people of Liverpool. (Cheers.) And if he had the honour of being returned, he would pledge himself to give their local business the utmost ofi his attention, and he would maintain witn fidelity those opinions which he had then explained. (Loud and long_ continued cheering.) The hon. gentleman was then asked an unimportant question by an elector from the crowd, which he answered in the most satisfactory manner ; and retired amid the plaudits of the assemblage. [The time allowed us to prepare the report of A Cardwell's speech has prevented us giving it as fully as we could have wished, and, indeed, as it deserves. We can only add, that the honourable gentleman was listened to throughout with the greatest interest, and seemed to win the approbation of his numerous auditory.—En.. L.S.] The fine weather has induced many persons to take a trip to the lakes, and the . inns near them are consequently filled with visitors. The Morning Chronicle attributes a great portion of the increase on the Customs for the year to the duty on the addittional " quantity of no less than 925,447 cwts. of sugar, the consumption of which can fairly be referred to the Sugar Bill of last year. And as the great bulk of this additional quantity, has been sugar paying a duty of 21s. per cwt., the increased revenue from this source may be calculated in round figures at one million sterling, or a sum very nearly equal to the entire increase on.the Customs for the whole year.".

M. Wall, the Repealer, has re signed. The Morning Chronicle announces that Mr. Dahou chere will enter upon the office of president of the Boatd of Trade immediately before the dissolution of parliament. The right honourable gentleman will be succeeded by Sir William Somerville, as secretary far Ireland. There is no truth whatever in the rumour that Dr. Gif ford has determined upon retiring from his proposed can vass for the University of Dublin ; on the contrary, he is quite resolved to go to the poll. The ides of withdrawing never once crossed his mind.—Dublin Evening Mail. Mr James Silk Buckingham's claims for compensation are again to be brought under the notice of Parliament, after having been at rest some time. Sir De Lacy Evans has entered a notice upon the book of the House of Com mons for that purpose. _ DuBLIN.—We perceive by the Freeman's .Tournal, the organ of the Repealers, that Mr. John O'Connell will not contest the city of Dublin. This determinatiun has been come to in consequence of the citizens having de clined to subscribe the necessary funds for the contest. NEWCASTLE.—In addition to Mr. Ord and Mr. Ellison, Hr. Headlam, a liberal barrister, son of Archdeacon Headlam, is in the field, in the room of Mr. Hinde r who has unexpectedly resigned. But it is expected the young Whigling will be obliged to succumb before the superior claims of Cuthbert Ellison, Esq., of Hebburn Hall. SUNDERLAND.—The Honourabe H. T. Liddell has', after his long servitude, announced his attention to retiree from the representation on the dissolution, and Lordi Seaham has come forward to succeed him. The leading. Conservatives of Durham are as inveterately opposed to• the Marquis of Londonderry as ever, but his lordship seems likely now to get both the county' and city repre sentation under his own control. SOUTH LANCASHIRE.—On Wednesday last, the rumour was again revived and currently circulated, that Mr_ Villiers had positively and finally declined to sit for this division of the county if elected. This fact has not yet been officially announced, but, it is said, will be so shortly. Lord Brackley, it is also said, but on the same dubious authority, is to be again brought forward. The genefal feeling in his favour seems to be considerably' stronger than it was a few weeks ago.--Times of Friday. NORTH LANCASHIRE.—A split, it is said, has already, or is about to take place, between the friends of Mr. Patten and Mr. Clifton, although both holding conserva tive opinions. Some of the most influential friends of Mr. Patten have positively declared that they wia not vote for, or in any way support. Mr. Clifton. AA- few days, it is said, will probably bring forth something de cisive on the subject.—Times of Friday. NORTH CHESHIRE.—We are now enabled to state, with confidence, that the preliminary negociations relative to the parliamentary representation of North Cheshire have been so far successful, that W. Tatton Egerton, Esq;, and the Hon. E. J. St an l e y h ave avowe d their readiness to come forward as candidates for that division of tho county, at the approaching election. The requisition to those gentlemen was si gne d by a very large majority of the constituency, so that their election may be considered as a settled matter. Mr. Davenport, owing to ill health," has withdrawn his pretensions ; and we suspect that in the face of such a demonstration as the united friends of Messrs. Egerton and Stanley have elicited, no third candidate will be forthcoming.—Chester Courant. CITY OF LONDON.—On Thursday evening two meetings were held in the city ; one of the Conservative electors, and the other of those favouring the Whig candidates. At the meeting of the Conservatives, resolutions were passed in favour of Mr. Masterman Mr. Alderman Johnso n , and Mr. C. L. B evan , all of ;horn eloquently addressed the meeting in support of Protestant and Conservative principles. The meeting was a most enthusiastic one, and augured well for the success of the conservative candidates. At the other meeting speeches were made, and resolutions passed approving of Lord John Russell, Messrs. Pattison, Larpent,. and Rothschild, as fit and proper persons to represent the city of London in Parliament. We are happy to announce that a fourth conservative candidate has since appeared in the person of Mr. J. W. Freshfield, who has issued an address on Protestant principles, and therefore-" totally opposed to any endowment of the Church of Rome." The main feature of the coming elections will undoubt edly be the return of Rothschild for the city of London, for.that he will be returned seems agreed• on all hands ; and then comes the question how is he to set about doing that for the Hebrews which was done at the last Clare election in 1827 ? Some say that Jews maytake the oaths required by the Commons, and that they can sit as a mat ter of course.' Of this opinion is Mr. D. Salomons, who has offered for several constituencies, and declares that he is as eligible to be an M.P. as h e i s t o b e a Sheriff: Of the same opinion, too, is Baron Rothschild, or he would not stand, it may be presumed. Others say, however, that the returning-officer is bOund to declare a Christian elected, no matter what the number of votes for the Jew —thata double return in that case will be made to the Speaker—and then the question of the present disabilities of the Jews, whatever they are, will be debated, and on the issue of the debate will depend the confirmation Or the rejection of the great millionaire.

IMPORTATIONS INTO LONDON.—The. London Times of Wednesday last states that the number of vessels which entered the port of London during• the• week was 167, which were entirely, with one or two exceptions, laden with grain of various kinds, the produce of Europe.

Eiconw -- - —Mr. Smith, the GROWTH ✓ OF gardener at Brodsworth Hall, took up one potato root the other day, which had the extraordinary number of one hundred and eighteen full-grown potatoes attached. We are happy to learn that the sample was entirely free from disease.—Doncaster Chronicle. A corrrespondent of the Morning Post suggests the following cure for the potato blight. He has not had an opportunity of trying it himself on the Aphis Vastator, but finding ; it succeed with other insects, thinks it would be worth trying. He says :—" I was informed, a day or two ago, by a gentleman whose garden has been infested by caterpillars, that he had destroyed the insects and saved the fruit by watering his gooseberry .and other trees with water in which bruised elder-tops had been steeped for a night ; and the success was so complete that the ground below was strewed with.the dead bodies of the insects on the following morning." THE WEA.THER.-40r the last week or ten days the weather has been all that could possibly be desired for bringing to maturity the different productions of the earth. - Wheat and oats are rapidly coming into full ear, and should the present fine weather continue, an abundant harvest will shortly crown the labours of the husbandman. Haymaking is likewise progressing under auspicious cir cumstances, and a heavier crop for a length of time has net been realized.
