LL I TREATED.—The time of par- C'r a 'coPied on a measure bearing the I Justice Bill. What is the meaning of criminal justice P If it is justice, it is surely not criminal ; and if it is criminal, it is un doubtedly anything but justice. We think all the judges of the land should meet together with all the magistrates, and demand an inquiry into the applica tion of the epithet criminal to the word justice. If there is any justice who ought to be called criminal, let his crime be brought to light, and let the justice be brought to justice, that is• to say, let him be brought to himself, at the earliest opportunity. Until this point is settled there is not a justice, from the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench to the humblest Justice of the Peace, who' will not feel the peace of the justice disturbed by the imputation alluded to. A BIBLIOMANIA.C. — Somebody advertises a complete set of the London Gazette from 1810 to 1854, which is offered to the attention of the literary world and book-collectors in general. We dare say a purchaser will be found, inasmuch as there is scarcely anything that one person wishes to sell which some other person is not prepared to buy, at some price or other. We confess the collection does not offer much temptation to us, though the work may suit the tastes of many. Some would like to have it, from an ill-natured desire to peruse the bankruptcies of the last forty years, as there are some to whom the intelligence of the mis fortunes of others is always agreeable. Others there are who would find a less censurable satisfaction in reading the lists of promotions, and becoming ac quainted by name, with all the peers, baronets, and knights that have been created since the year at which the collection commences. We hope the purchaser of the work will favour us with his name and address, for we should like to include him in the index of a small book we possess, containing the lives of remarkable characters. We hope the buyer, whoever he may be, will find that the book, in the language of the reviewers or puffs, " will pay perusal." Christmas ; were it otherwise, this bulb would be much more extensively grown, &c. ; as it is, the Duke of Bedford and others parboil or steam, and so use beneficially in quantity, and early, without waiting for fermentation, &c., by stacking and process of time, to remove the deleterious properties ; effects whereof I have proved by feeding a cow-team largely and solely thereon excepting some hay ; the cows lost flesh, some were paralysed, some died ; so I sent the coatings of their stomachs, which flaked off quite black, to Mr. Gibbs, the honorary secretary of the Royal Agricul tural Society, and to Mr. Sewell, of the Royal Veteri nary College, who pronounced the results above referred to as having arisen from the' before-recited causes. I have kept small bulb mangolds till mid summer, shipped them in the spring with live-stock to India and Australia, finding them then to be better and keep longer than Swedes. I have made some very fine and fat sheep in the spring, fed only on mangold and hay. The process of maceration and extraction will enable mangold to be used safely, cheaply, and beneficially at all seasons and for all feed ing purpose, besides saving time, trouble, and cost to many growers and consumers." nittington's Treatise.

BRO,WN BREAD PUDDING.—HaIf-a-pound of stale brown bread, grated ; half-a-pound of currants, half-a pound of sliced suet, sugar and spice to taste ; mix with four eggs, a spoonful of brandy, and two spoon fuls of cream ; boil in a basin four hours ; serve with sweet sauce. COLOURING FOR SOUPS on GRAVY.—Take eight ounces of loaf sugar, two gills of water, one ounce of butter, and place it in a small saucepan over the fire, observing to stir constantly with a wooden spoon, till it acquires a fine brown colour ; then add a pint of water, when it must be again boiled, and carefully freed from scum. When cold bottle, and cork it well. TO PICKLE CAULIFLOWERS. —Take the closest bunches of cauliflowers you can get ; put them in a kettle with some milk; let them pimple ; take them on a coarse cloth, let hem be very dry ; do so two or three times ; then put them in a jar with some boiling vinegar thrown over them, put a slice of ginger and a few allspice with them, and .keep them close. You may do onions the same way, only boil them in milk to take off the strong taste. To MAKE INDIA PICKLES.—Take four quarts of the best vinegar, a pound and a half of mustard seed, four ounces of ginger, bruised, three ounces of long pepper, and one ounce of black ditto. Let the vinegar be poured on the spice boiling hot, and stop it down close ; when it is quite cold, add one pennyworth of garlic, and three ounces of turmeric powdered; having put this together, let it stand two or three days, and then acid thereto what you please—cauliflower, cab bage, peaches, apricots, French beans, golden pippins, or whatever else you like. Whatever you put in must be salted and dried in the sun ; put these in a pot to gether ; they will keep good for several years. AGRICULTURE. PRINCE BORGHESE had lately imported into the Papal States a Durham bull for the purpose of improv ing the breed of cattle on his extensive grazing farms, and the Giornale di Roma announces that the Pope has, in consequence, ordered a gold medal to be struck and presented to him, " considering the prince as a deserving doer in having brought the germ to increase the quantity of meat and milk." MANGOLD WURZEL.—It is well known that—ex cepting only swine, which thrive and fatten amazingly on mangold only, given at any season—animals do not thrive, but waste, if fed largely on raw marigold before HORTICULTURE. FLOWER GARDEN AND SHRUBBERIES.—The pro pagation of next season's bedding stock should be commenced at once, and gone about with the utmost possible expedition until every cutting is got in so as to ensure having strong and well established plants before winter, and this without the being under the necessity of keeping them so close and warm as to induce weakly growth. The wintering of bedding stock is generally a somewhat difficult matter, but the difficulty is often greatly increased through the cutting being put in too late in the autumn to allow of having strong stocky plants before winter. It is doubtless true that the convenience for wintering bed ding stock is insufficient in many cases, but however good the convenience may be, the cuttings should be rooted early in the autumn, for many of our favourite bedding plants are troublesome subjects to carry over with the best accommodation, unless properly prepared, whereas plants that are well established by the end of September, and can be freely exposed to the open air on every favourable opportunity after that time, are by no means difficult to carry over the winter. Cut tings of such things as anagallises and nierembergias should be afforded a gentle bottom heat, and if this can be commanded without too much top heat, it will encourage the emission of roots in less time, without drawing or weakening the cuttings. Holly hocks are unfortunately somewhat tedious to propagate, and do not afford cuttings very freely, consequently they are not over plentiful about most places. The choice sorts should be looked over frequently, putting in cuttings as they can be obtained, as autumn-rooted cuttings make prime strong plants for flowering the following summer, whereas those rooted in winter and spring often bloom but poorly the first season. Plants from which cuttings are wanted should be liberally supplied with manure water, mulching them with rotten dung in the event of dry weather, which will assist in promoting a vigorous habit of growth and inducing the formation of young shoots. See that these and dahlias are secure against a sudden storm of wind. Go over the masses of verbenas, &c., frequently, for the purpose of regulating th e h e i g ht, & c ., an d preserving the appearance of order and neatness over the whole garden. Get stocks for spring flowering sown at once ; also transplant Brompton and Queen stocks to where they are to bloom, or, if this cannot be done, plant in nursery beds, allowing them plenty of space, in order to induce a stocky habit. KITCHEN GARDEN.-It is now too late for this season to prescribe a remedy for the gooseberry cater pillar, but while the subject is exciting attention it may be worth while to state that syringing the affected trees with a decoction of foxglove leaves will be found a certain cure. The gooseberry and currant trees here have escaped the pest this season, until some three weeks since, and then the caterpillars made their appearance so suddenly and in such force, that every leaf would have been devoured before all the hands at command could have saved them by picking off the insects. A quantitl of foxglove leaves were procured and steeped in a boiler of boiling water, and the decoc tion drawn off and sprinkled , over the affected trees lt
