Sale of Plants.— Potato Disease in Canada.—We regret to hear that in many places in the neighbourhood of the city the potato blight has again appeared. We have seen evidence of it in the vicinity of the River St. Charles, and a farmer from there informed us to-day that he had inquired of several farmers from Jacques Cartier and Valcartier, who strte that the blight has also there appeared.—Quebec Mercury. Live Fences for Enclosures.—lt is no easy matter, though very desirable, to be able to enclose land quickly and effectually. Some persons for this purpose use single stems, 4 or 5 feet high, placed crosswise, inclining from right to left and from left to right alternately ; the plan is however not a good one as the plants grow irregularly, and the branches sometimes die and leave spaces very difficult to fill up : in order that this plan may succeed, the shoots should be interlaced as the plantation proceeds. Another plan is to make a double hedge ; this, however, is objectionable. It often happens that the two lines of plants, though very close, will not grow the one amongst the other, but leave a space between them which destroys the solidity of the whole. Besides, no air circulating in this hollow, the young branches die and leave a sort of passage between the two hedges. To avoid these incon veniences I have adopted the following plan, and with great success. A trench a yard wide, and little more than half a yard deep, is dug round the place to be enclosed. The earth removed by digging to the depth of one spade is put on the right bank, together with the turf from the surface previously placed there ; the earth removed after this is thrown on the other bank : into the bottom of this trench is then thrown all the earth thrown up by the first, and some of that thrown up by the second digging, and the level of the plantation is obtained by means of the turf be fore mentioned. In the middle of this trench a cord is then stretched and kept in its place by stakes driven into the ground every ten yards. The planting is then begun. The plants about three years old, and not quite feet high, are placed on the turf which is introduced among the roots. The latter are then covered with earth, on the top of which is lightly placed some well-worked dung, and the whole is then filled in with the earth remaining on the left bank. The plantation is in the course of the first year dug as much as necessary, and in the autumn rather deeply, not however so as to disturb the layer of dung already spoken of. The second year the same operations are performed, and the plants may be pruned. In the third year, and not before, the plants are cut down to the height of 3 feet. In the fourth year the hedge is formed, and may be pruned first in June and again in September. By this time the hedge will be a much better protection than those planted in the common way are at the end of eight or ten years. It must not be supposed that the above method of procedure is costly. My hedge kept in good order costs no more than an ordinary one badly kept up. The earth being well arranged works easily ; and the pruning being performed twice a year, takes very little time, as there is no hard wood to , cut.—Revue Hor ticole. PERIODICALS. FOR THE MONTH The Botanical Magazine (Curtiss's) contains figures of Bolbophyllum Lobbii, Medinilla magnifica, Portlandia breviflora, Nymphtea micrantha, Coccoloba macrophylla. The letterpress is, however, wanting, in consequence of the illness of Sir Wm. Hooker. _ Hooker's Journal of Botany leads us another stage of Mr. Richard Spruce's interesting journey on the Amazon. A capital plate spews the process of making rice-paper, and the rest of the number is made up of numerous inte resting contributions. Maund's Botanic Garden and Fruilist is illustrated with well-coloured representations of the rose, Geant des Batailles ; two fine flowering trees, Cratsegus tanaceti folia and Euonymus latifolius ; a variety of the pretty Chenostoma polyantha, and the Bess Pool Apple.

THE ROSCOE CLUB.—On Wednesday evening an ad journed meeting of this club was held at the club-room, Clayton-square, for the purpose of extricating the club from its present financial difficulties. Mr. E. Estill, president of the council, occupied the chair, and, after a few remarks on the embarrassed position of the club, called upon Mr. Boult, the secretary, to read the report, which recommended a plan for meeting the debts, amount ing to £2,485. The main feature of the plan is the as- seisment of every member, past and present, at the rate of five shillings for every quarter of his term of mem bership. The plan also embraces an arrangement for placing the club on a sound basis for the future, by creating an entrance fee of £2 25., to be applied to the redemption of the furniture, library, &c., and an annual subscription of £2 2s. THE COUNCIL.—A meeting of the Council (by adjourn ment from the previous week) was summoned for Wed nesday last, in order to dispose of the business remaining on the notice paper. The Mayor was in attendance at the usual hour, but very few of the members were present. This number received some addition, but up to a quarter past eleven only nine teen mustered, being three short of the complement required to constitute a Council. Under these circumstances the Mayor intimated that business could not be proceeded with, and the meeting was accord ingly dissolved. The following are the names of the members who were present :—Messrs. Langsdale, Thom son, Preston, Hill, Briscoe, Holt. Hornby, Avison, Rim mer, Wagstaff, Tobin, Parker, Beckwith, Mann, T. Lloyd, Wood, Procter, Bent, and the Mayor. Messrs. Dover, Johnson, and Bigham entered the room immediately after the Mayor had dissolved the meeting. HEALTH COMMITTEE.—At a meeting of this commit tee, on Thursday, it was reported that the mortality of the town continued to decrease, the deaths registered being 185, against 240 in the corresponding week of last year ; 125 were children, and the remaining 60 adults. The medical officer, who is in the country for the benefit of his health, sent a letter requesting an extension of the time of absence. Granted.—A letter was read from Mr. J. Holt, claiming an amount of £24, on account of work done for a contractor under the committee, named Collins, which had not been paid to him. It was stated that the com mittee had no power in the matter, Collins's account hav ing been settled.—A letter was read on behalf of a person in Plumbe-street, claiming compensation for loss sus tained owing to the alterations made in the street by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company. It was stated that the matter rested between the complainant and the company, and the clerk was directed to return an answer to that effect. WEST DERBY GUARDIANS.—The weekly meeting was held on Wednesday. A letter was read from the Poor law Board, fixing the salary of the schoolmistress to the Workhouse at £2B per annum. A building committee was appointed to carry out the alterations connected with the Workhouse. Mr. Shaw moved that the resolution for a payment of £4O for a relieving office in Toxteth-park, be rescinded. He did so on the ground that the office was not requisite, and that it was unfair to tax the out townships for any such purpose. The motion was seconded by the Rev. W. Badnall. After some remarks from Mr. I'. Smith, who expressed himself adverse to Mr. Shaw's views, the motion was put and carried by a large majority. Mr. J. Harrison gave notice that at the meeting on that day fortnight, he would move the reconsideration of the report of the committee adopted in December last,. so far as related to the relieving o ffi cers, their salaries, duties, and an alteration in their districts. DOCK COMMITTEE, THURSDAY. — There was a very scanty attendance, the only members present being Messrs. Holt, (in the chair,) Rankin,. Preston, Bent, Horsfall, Fisher, Tobin, and Harbord. A letter was received an nouncing the death of Mr. .L:Gilman, master of the Cla rence and Trafalgar Docks.. Referred to the Harbour master's Committee.—& letter from the Town-clerk, relative to the paving of Love-lane, was referred to the Committee of Works.—&letter from Mr. Edward Barrow, relative to the grant of £5O towards the Southport life boat, was referred. to the Marine Sub-committee..

It is a very important item, and, if the Council wished to make the proprietors responsible for it, they should have taken care that they were not imposed upon.

By a small stretch of the substance of Mr. Hornby's speech, your contemporary comes to the fictitious conclu sion " that the regulation rates were, before determined tlieVap - probation."

Is this a fair way to alter the real value of the property in which many of our fellow-townsmen have invested their whole capital ? One of the clauses in the new regu lations requires that a coach shall be four feet six inches (inside) across : if this was to be enforced, I believe every coach in Liverpool, with one exception, would be con demned as contrary to law I The regulation with regard to cars, though with more exceptions, would effect the same unjust and serious results. I should hope that there are not many who would echo the Editor of the Mail's assertion, " that the Corpora tion rates of fare are part, I see great injustice and much very exceptionable matter in these rates and regulations; and were I a mem ber of a body that had received the same treatment—was the value o Council, solely . momentarily altered—was my property same uncalled-for and uncommunicated ,assed for the purp - ose, - directly and l'aced under t 'estrictions—l should have adopted, if it were in my power, the same means of resistance, and would have looked to my fellow tradesmen for encouragement and protection. In such a dilemma, I would not have sought for precedents. I would not have enquired whether, generally taken, strikes were successful or not—whether, at the last building ope ratives' strike, they obtained the extra hour on Monday morning and Saturday afternoon or not : I would simply have satisfied myself that my remonstrances had been ineffectual for good—that my oppressors had determined on carrying out their project, and that the hour, not for aggression, but for self-defence had arrived—then I would have ceased to conduct my business, now rendered not only unremunerative, but, with one act, destructive of a great part of my machinery, until it had been again made worth my labour, and not likely soon to suffer the same hazardous and serious interruption. It is because I consider the carowners have exhausted every resource prior to resistance that they have my hearty sympathy. I consider " the conspiracy" was formed not by them, but against them ; and I am perfectly persuaded that the exaggerated evils complained of in the drivers would have found a stimulus, not a remedy, in the new scale of legalised Charges.. I am, sir, yours &e., A PROTECTIONIST I6th Sept., isso, THE GRAND MOVING MIRROR OF AMERICAN SCENERY. Mr. hough, of the United States, has recentl) intro duced into this country pictorial representations of Ame rican scenery on a grand scale. This moving mirror is at present exhibiting at the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson street. Its magnitude is the least of its pretensions. Thene are throughout the production a correctness of de lineation and a finish which proclaim the work to be the effort of no mean artist. With no intention to disparage those herculean feats of the pencil which we have had the pleasure of inspecting on former occasions, and which were also the production of American artists, we do not hesitate to affirm that they bear no comparison to the picture under notice, in point of artistic rank. Their chief merit was the correctness and minuteness with which they brought before the eye the vast expanse of trans atlantic scenery: it was impossible to go beyond this in their praise. Mr. Hough's picture is quite destitute of that unfinished, sketchy surface which might be expected from an undertaking of such magnitude, and which cha racterised the pictures alluded to. The eye is pleased with the pictorial effect produced, at the same time that the interest is excited by the geographical information which is imparted. This exhibition is commenced by a representation of an evening scene on the Mississippi. This is followed by scenery on the Nile ; a very pleasing picture. A good idea is conveyed of the vastness of that stream, which rolls on for more than a thousand miles without receiving any tributary. Along the sandy plain are to be seen innu merable objects of interest to the historical and biblical student :—that range of stupendous mountains, which at intervals approach close to the banks of the river; those mighty monuments of masonic skill, which, after the lapse of thousands of years, appear in almost pristine freshness, to defy the power of that hand which is uni versally admitted to be the common destroyer ; and the ruins of places whose names alone remain to the present generation, are amongst the most interesting objects. The representation of a Pilgrimage to Mecca is given. Among the objects of interest in the Nile, the most pro minent are several small strips of land, forming miniature islands, profusely clothed with vegetation. The principal one is the delightful little island of Rhoda, said.to be the one from which Moses was launched, in his. tiny vessel, into the Nile. Among the objects on the hanks are the old town of Gheza and old Cairo. The nest is the most remarkable representation of, the exhibition—the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky. This cave was discovered in the year 1802. It is situated half way between the cities of Nashville and Louisville, and is only half a mile from Gross River. Its entrance is somewhat confined ; but no sooner are you within, than you find yourself in a vast natural apartment, more than forty feet high, and fifty feet wide ; a strong current of air rushes out during the winter, but during summer takes the reverse direction. This atmospheric stream is in perpe tual operation, either outwards or inwards, according to the season, and has the effect of preserving the tempera ture of the cave unchanged throughout the year. The thermometer stands perpetually at 59 deg. fah. The extent of this remarkable cave is immense ; it contains 226 avenues or roads, the largest of which extends six teen miles, a great number of " rooms," and several rivers and sheets of water ; one of the latter is designated the Dead Sea ; there are also the rivers Lethe and Styx. The depth below the surfaee of the earth is 60 feet. Soon after being discovered, the cave was a source of employ ment to miners—large quantities of saltpetre were pro duced ; here competition, however, soon destroyed that trade. Many of the appliances used by the workmen still remain in the cave, and owing to the peculiar pro perties of the atmosphere, the lapse of many years has failed to injure them. In the year 1843, strange to say. two mummies were found not far from the entrance The first " room" is an acre and a half in area, and o great height. The traces of mining operations are flume rous ; in othet respects nothing very remarkable is obser. vable. Avoiding numerous avenues in which no particular features exist, Mr. Hough directs the attention of hip audience to the " Gothic Avenue." The roof of the cave is here supported by pillars formed from stalactites, -erasion of Gothic architec• ‘ , ..autv of them The coup d'ceil gives the imp'', ture ; hence the name. Besk natural pillars, the roof is all around hung with stain,,_ which reflect the light of the explorer's torches in a thou sand brilliant devices. The Gothic Avenue leads to the Gothic Chapel, an apartment formed by two co rr espo n di ng , ws of stal , - - -Mars ; the resemblance to the shell of a primit Ind most remark e p is very dos( !ars, which must have taken a e fluted like Doric columns. and Some of these r" formation terranean atmosphere arc ea of st store patients suffering from pulmonary many invalids abode in this underrroun purpose of benefitting from It was near this part of the New York, retnair chapel, you ar withot Leaving tt Then fol the " Fairy Grotto boundary, but very eon) pl of the ris lace, b ns explori cently, hov ver, " Stept ," the de, has a retr which enabl taken by the change indicated, to escape i other beautiful objects is a cascade. which fall with snow-balls ; tl " Echo Riv Vilson, the Seottis h - vocalisi The " City of Tempi( St. Cecelia's Grotto" i.

REVIEW. — Major-General Sir Archibald Maclaine, Colonel of the 52d Regiment, stationed in this town, ar rived here on Monday for the purpose of inspecting his regiment. He was accompanied by his lady. On Wed nesday he inspected the troops, numbering nearly 700, who mustered on parade at the barracks, Everton. The men were highly complimented by the colonel for their efficiency. In the evening Sir Archibald and Lady Mac daine entertained the officers of the regiment at a mag nificent dinner, at the Adelphi Hotel, to which about thirty officers, in full uniform, sat down. Si r A rc hib a ld Maclaine presided, and in the course of the evening many appropriate speeches were delivered by the colonel and his guests. Lord Cath car t, t h e f i eld-marshal of the northern division, and his staff were expected to be pre sent, but his lordship was unable to attend, as he is at present suffering from indisposition. The admirable band of the 52d Regiment was stationed in an ante-room. ORIGIN O F R AGGED D ORMITOR IES.—The small begin ning which occasioned the general idea of ragged dormi tories took rise in an event for which I can vouch. The missionary who had formed this school was standing one day in 1846, at its door, when two adult thieves appealed to him on behalf of a wretched boy who had, they said, been cruelly maltreated and kicked out of doors by his mother, because his day's prowl for the purpose of thiev ing had been unsuccessful. " Why do , you not take pity on him yourselves ?" asked the missionary. Why !" why, if you knew what a thief's you would not train dog to thieving." It must have been, thought the missionary, a desperate case which could have so forcibly excited the lifeon e i o s f a them he well m as answered, we do, ' sympathies of two hardened depredators; and he determined to see into it. He soon found the boy ; and his co n diti on supported o ut of th was too debased for any description which would not e four mainlymissionary's Lord K ex cite loathing. Ilving made . the lad decent, h e took him to the model lodging-house pi Great Pet er - s t reet, bene tly ce in naird. The boy was kept there for f our months ; sup portedslender private funds. Thi s c i rcumstance forced on h i s attention the necessity of p rov idi ng shelter for such volen three commenced m out en of d th and solely bye juve nile outcasts, and he drew up an appeal to certain bene• volent persons to that effect.

The latter, however, succeeded in finding him in Liverpool on Saturday, when he agreed to go over with the boy to Ireland, and pay his father ; he then accompanied the boy to the Dublin boat, and the more effectu- ally to deceive his young companion, took two tickets. They had no sooner got on board than Hogan, under some pretext, went ashore. By the advice of one of his countrymen the boy followed him. When he got to the prisoner's house, the latter was waiting for admission. He induced the lad to remain in his house until Monday morning. Nothing was then done, and he was kept till Y the following day. On Tuesd a y while in the street boy to pis wife to d to give him ten sovereigns. The boy received the money, and, acting under• the belief that he was to have the money in liouidation of the debt nwino to hia f a ther _ retained it wife, shE Hogan, however, took it out of his hand through, and the case was discharged—the magistrate in formed Kirk that he was at liberty to give the prisoner into charge for felony committed at Chester. The man, A NAMELESS CRIMINAL.—A black man was brought up, charged with the offence of begging, in Bold-street, on Saturday. The charge was proved, and the prisoner was asked his name, but he persisted in the assertion that he had no name but Black Nigger. lie was accordingly committed to prison, for the usual term, as Black Nigger. SMUGGLING.—Auguste du Poull and Jacob Peroers, two German sailors, who came here on the 12th Septem ber, in the Helena, were remanded on the charge of smuggling more than one hundred pounds of tobacco. A companion, named Jos. Waters, who was apprehended, was fined twenty shillings Joseph Whitehead, who has been employed for a con siderable period by Messrs. Whaley and Gerrard, coal merchants, as solicitor and collector, was charged by Mr. Thomas Wright, the Liverpool agent for the above firm, with having embezzled various sums of money, amount ing to £4 10s. The prisoner was committed for trial. ROBBERY IN ST. JOHN'S MARKET.—Margaret Las key, an uld woman who has been previously convicted nine times, and been brought before the magistrates altogether a dozen times, was charged by a butcher, named Robert Goodman, with having stolen a piece of mutton from his stall on Saturday evening. She was sent prison for two months. ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Jonathan Harri son, a fellow of ruffianly appearance, and who has been imprisoned twelve months in the Borough Gaol, was charged under the following circumstances. Mr. Thos. Syers, a gentlemanly young man, stated that he was re turning home at a late hour on Saturday evening, and when within a hundred yards of Phythian-street, Low hill, he was hustled by three fellows, one of whom put his arm round his (Mr. Syers's) waist. With difficulty he got away, and called loudly for the police, upon which the men ran away. Constable 612 heard the alarm, and hastened up, when be saw Harrison running off, and suc ceeded in capturing him. He was committed for three months. . . - STABBING.—A girl named Whitehouse, a denizen of the Toxteth district, was charged with having stabbed a man named M'Cann. The wound was so extensive as to require surgical aid, the loss of blood being excessive. The case was remanded for the evidence of the sargeon. - ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—Enoch Evans, a youth of about fourteen, of respectable appearance, was charged with stealing one shilling and sixpence, belonging to his employer, Messrs. Jeffery and Morgan, of 99, Church street. From the evidence of one of the witnesses it ap peared that the boy was employed as cashier, and the money was found concealed in a box in the shop, and the boy admitted it was his master's money. On account of the youth of the prisoner, the decision was adjourned for the further consideration of the magistrates. OUTRAGE.—On Saturday night, at a late hour, the family of Mr. Hill, stevedore, of Lower Harrington street, in the absence of Mr. Hill, were alarmed by a fellow named Roger Coaley, who rushed into the house and threatened to stab the inmates with a large knife which he flourished : finally, he knocked Mrs. Hill down and kicked her on the head and eye. On entering the house, be asked for Hill, as be wanted to make " ribands" of him. The man had formerly been in Mr. Hill's employment. He was fined £ 5 and costs , or in default to be imprisoned for two months.
