Mr. E. Myers supported the resolution, which also was carried unanimously. DOCK COMMITTEE.—FIRES AND LIGHTS ON SHIP- BOARD.-At the usual weekly meeting of this committ ea, on Thursday, the principal subject which came forward for consideration was the report of the sub-committee appointed to consider as to the desirability of allowing fires and lights on board ships in the docks. It will be recollected that the question was brought before the com mittee in a memorial against the present restrictions, pre nted in December last ; and the sub-committee, after ing the points of the evidence they have received, state that they are of opinion that the prayer of the memo- umerat granted, would add so much to the risk and njury of property that an increasrd rate of insurance would be the consequence, and that it would be inexpe dient to allow the use of fires on boardships in the docks. The sub-committee, bearing in mind the amount of pro y in the docks, and not losing sight of the statements e as to the improbability of a conflagration to any ex ent, nor the representations made of the comfort and , onvenience involved in the proposed application, with other conveniences, are decidedly of opinion that the law should not be relaxed which relates to the use of fires on board ships when in the docks. In this opinion they were strengthened by the opinions of the under writers and the Liverpool and London insurance offices. As to the use of lights for smoking and other pur poses, the committee express their entire disapproba tion of such practices. The obstacles thrown in the way of the officers in discovering such proceedings, are also of serious consequence ; but on this branch of the subject they feel a difficulty in stating a remedy. They have, however, a strong opinion that measures should be adopted to put them down.' (As to the use of lanterns for stowing away cargo, which seems to have been practised, the committee have considered that part of the subject. Taking into account the altered circum stances of commerce within the last few years, and other circumstances, they have come to the resolution that it may not be unsdvisable to sanction, under proper control; the use alights in locked lanterns for loading ships during certain months in the year, when days are short. The solicitor of the Dock Trust has been consulted, and he is of opinion that there is no power to make the sug gested alterations except by Act of Parliament. The committee, with a view to remedy the present state of things, recommend that powers be obtained to enable them to grant, under proper regulations, the use of lights on board vessels in the docks. A short conversation en sued, and Mr. Bold, seconded by Mr. Harbord, having moved the adoption of the report, Mr. Sandbach pro posed, as an amendment, that the powers to be taken should include fires as well as lights. Mr. Bold said the committee were unanimous as to the use of ligh e l , but not so with regard to fires. They might leave that an open question. On a division, the report was adopted, with Mr. Sandbach's amendment, by a majority of eleven to four. Mr. Bold voted for the amendment. ~ name on, wh the expense to conduct annum v er some reerimmatton the board, and th n adjournment took place ['TEE —TH 1 —A license on tJ orkhouse MISCELLANE Royal Botanic Garden, Glasnevin.—There is now in flower here, for tl:e first time in Europe, the rare and beautiful Wallich Lilly (L.

OPERATIONS V THE WEEK Plant Department.—Chrysanthemums intended for exhibition will require every attention ; should they be disposed to throw up suckers, remove a portion of soil, and break them off. The stakes had better be placed, and a tie or two given to the plants, so that each shoot may be placed near the position it is intended to occupy. Weak shoots, which cannot be expected to produce a full sized flower, had better be cut away. Secure the pots against the wind ; let no damage happen to the plant by their being blown about. The exposure ought to be full and free. Pelargoniums :We could wish, in cases like this, to see the amateur trust more to his own judgment, and less to printed directions. The plants cut a month ago will, by this time, have grown half an inch ; it is, then, a good time to repot. If the plant be old, in a ten inch pot crammed full of roots, shako the soil clean away from them •, with the knife, shorten in the roots consi derably, till, with ease, a six-inch pot will contain them. But the plant may have been a cutting last summer, has been growing out of doors all the time, and made stiff, short-jointed wood; it requires a shift into a blooming pot. Turn the ball carefully out of the pot, loosen it thoroughly, but injure not a root. Betwixt these two points mediums will be found in all stages, for which we again desire the amateur to have recourse to his own judgment; failure with a plant of such an accommodating nature is next to an impossibility. Pipings of pinks, or cuttings of pansies, which may have struck root ; should be planted at once into the beds, for blossoming. A light soil, well manured with cow dung, answers well for the pink. We have grown them very large and luxuriant upon such a compost, and can with confidence recommend it. For the pansy a light rich friable soil is preferable to anything else. Bulbs ought to be examined ; tulips properly earthed and made ready for planting; hyacinths, such of last year's bulbs as are sound and good and able to bear pot culture for another year, pot immediately, by giving them a good deep pot, rich soil, and very slow excitement ; they will at least equal in strength such as are bought out of the seed shops at a late period of the season. We know not whether the dealers are yet in possession of their present year's purchases or not, but of this we are sure, that the sooner our ainateur friends are in possession of their intended.stock the greater their hope of success. 'Kitchen Garden.—The haulm of peas and beans ought to be removed as the crops are gathered and the ground wrought over; let neatness appear rather conspicuously. Many of the crops have a dead appearance, the walks and edgings kept tidy will serve to keep up the enjoyment a little longer. Fruit Department. —With us the principal season for pruning fruit trees is September, or soon after thP, fruit is gathered, but in the case of trees not bearing . a full crop this is no object. We also practice a tcomplete system of disbudding in the spring. Our luxur',ant trees we root-prune in October ; of course , we l op o ff a mis placed shoot in all seasons, neither would rve allow the its fruit; wood of an old tree to remain t o the, i n j ur y o f but with a proper system of-disbud%iing and root pruning. this summer pruning is much '.. e duced.

It was not unusual, on this part of the coast, for the master to go to his room for an hour or so. Declarant kept the vessel near the shore for the purpose of shunning the tide. The master gave him no order to do so on this occasion. Remained on 'hoard till the ship went down, and was saved from the rigging. The Solicitor-general then stated that he had expected to be able to fix on the first mate, Langlands, a sort of independent responsibility in regard to the state of the boats, and therefore he had been included in the indict ment along with the, captain and second mate. He thought it right to state, however, that the Crown had not found that separate'responsibility to exist to the ex tent expected, and under these circumstances he thought it consistent with his duty to withdraw the charge against the first mate. Mr. Crawford said that he proposed to call the first mate as evidence for the captain, which was allowed. The jury having returned a verdict of not guilty against Langlands, he left the bar, and shook hands with the captain, as well as with several friends in court. He was then taken to the witness-room.

In his possession was a triangular frame containing 44 gold rings, valued at £25. From the evidence of Mrs. Pedrone it appeared that the prisoner walked into the shop and asked to be shown a wedding ring ; he kept Mrs. Pedrone's attention engaged until he found an opportunity to seize the iron frame and rings. He was committed. Suspicious CHARACTERS. — Three lads, named Patrick Burns, John Fogg, and James Kelly, were charged as suspicious characters, found in an empty house. A pollee man stated that the prisoners were part of a band of loose characters who infested the neighbourhood of Upper Par liament-street, rendering it exceedingly dangerous fo' persons to pass at a late hour. He captured their empty house, which a short time previously had been oc cupied by thieves. Of Fogg nothing injurious was known ; he was therefore acquitted. The other two were com mitted to prison for one month. STEALING A COAT.—John Doyle was charged with going; on board a vessel in the docks on Sunday, and stealUg a coat belonging to a passenger named Fleming. The lad said lie had just come " down the country," and was embarking on the homeivard passage. He saw a coat lying above in the vessel, and he thought it no harm to 'put it on. Mr. Aikin thought differently, and sent Lim to prison for two months to learn the distinction between Meum and 7'uum. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY. —John Thacks and William Follord, two mere lads, but who are known to the police as professed thieves, were brought up in charge of con stable 281, attached to the county force.

The witness ac cordingly saw Mr. Forbes, the Town-clerk of Glasgow, and communicated to him the statement of Mrs. Black hurst. Mr. Seger then addressed the Court for the de fendant, and contended that there was no legal evidence of any forgery having been committed by Mr. Blackhurst. and that the accusation was only a trick on the part of the prosecutors to throw their opponent in prison, and thereby obtain an unfair advantage over him in a civil court in pursuing their claim to the property. The bench retired, and after an absence of half an hour returned into court, when the Mayor stated that the magistrates had decided on sending the case for trial at the assizes. Mr. Segar. applied for bail, but the application was re fused. The court was crowded to excess during the whole of the proceedings.
