Further than this, only let the sheet in question contain a report of one of Mr. Cobden's Russian speeches, and we will warrant that every Englishman's hand will be instantly raised against it, only too anxious to crumple it up. EDUCATION AN THE ANTIPODES.---Melbourne had, according to the last advices from Australia, just opened its University, after a magnificent speech from the Chancellor, whose style of eloquence combines all the rotundity of a cannon-ball with all the hollowness of the cannon. We are of course great advocates for the spread of education all over the world ; but we are afraid thereis not much prospect for the cause, from the state of things at Melbourne : where, after an estimate of £llO,OOO for the building, £20,000 for the land, and £9,000 a-year for the endowment of the new University, there are only sixteen students to profit by the tremendous outlay. The institution is to stand on forty acres of land, which will give precisely two acres and a half to each pupil. Perhaps the better mode of turning the concern to account will be to con vert it into a vast gymnasium, with a Professorship of Cricket, who should give lectures on long stop, and other physical accomplishments, which seem to be con genial to the youth of Victoria. It is really a reflec tion on the colony, that its inhabitants are so immersed in money-grubbing that they cannot even spare their sons from the degrading pursuit, and only sixteen youths can be mustered throughout the whole of the vast locality to accept the offer of a liberal education. The fact is, that nearly everybody in the colony is making haste to get rich, in the hope of returning to England, where after all they are only doomed to dis appointment ; for the vulgar rich-.--who have nothing but their dross to recommend them---are happily at a discount on this side of the world, as from their num bers they necessarily are on the other. HORTICULTURE. FLOWER GARDEN.—Now that the effect of the present arrangement of the colours in the beds can be fairly seen, there is an excellent opportunity for noticing any mistakes, and determining upon the arrangements for next season, and this should be done without delay. When it is decided what each bed is to be occupied with next season, a plan of the garden should be made, writing the names of the plants on the beds accordin g to the arrangement decided upon. This will-be of the greatest service in showing at any time what quantity of each kind of- plant has to be propagated ; and unless some method of this kind is adopted, it is not unusual to find at planting-out time that there is a scarcity of some things and too many of others, whereas, those who have their plan to refer to can tell at a glance the exact number required of everything, and avoid mistakes in getting up too many of one thing and too few of another, and all the anxiety and confusion of working without a well defined object in view. Dahlias are growing very rapidly, and will require to be gone over very fre quently to keep the side branches securely tied in ; for when left untied, they are readily broken off by a thunder-storm. Hollyhocks must also be securely tied to their stakes. Continue to remove dead flowers from roses, and give plenty of manure water to the autumn-blooming varieties. Plant out rooted cuttings of pansies, &c., in nursery beds in a shady situation, keeping them well watered, if the weather proves dry, until they get established. Finish budding roses at once, if not already done, and also get border carna tions, picotees, and cloves layered without further loss of time. KITCHEN GARDEN.—The main breadth of spinach for furnishing the winter supply should be sown at once ; also prepare ground for winter onions. Get a good breadth of lettuce and endive planted out for the autumn supply, and sow some hardy sort of lettuce for planting out against south walls, or in frames, to come in after the frost cuts off the out-door supply. Dig down exhausted plantations of strawberries, and get the ground planted with winter stuff, if there is not already sufficient of this planted ; and make a further sowing of turnips, if these are likely to be scarce before the winter is over. Attend to cutting and dry ing herbs as they are ready, and do not allow shallots , i-k.RD. to remain in the ground after the tops die down, as, in the event of wet weather, they will make fresh roots, which prevents their keeping. Get a good breadth of cabbage planted thickly in rich ground to furnish winter greens.—Gardener's Chronicle. IMPROVING FRUIT, &c.—A correspondent of the Gardeners' Chronicle says," I have, from observation and a series of trials, ascertained that all sorts of fruits can be raised about one third larger than they usually are, and their qualities much improved, simply by sup porting the fruit in the following manner :—As soon as it is fully developed, it should not be allowed to hang its weight upon its stalk, as the increasing weight strains the stalk, and in that way lessens the quantity of nutritious fluid flowing to the fruit. This may be obviated in some cases by laying the pear, apple, or whatever it may be, upon a branch, and fixing it with a piece of matting, to prevent its being moved by the wind ; or by putting it into a small net, made for the purpose, at the same time keeping the stalk in a hori zontal position, when it can be done without twisting or bending it—as the bending, either accidentally or by the weight of the fruit, is in my opinion most injurious to its growth ; for the pores of the woody stalk are strained on one side of the bend, and compressed on the other ; hence the vessels through which the re quisite nourishment flows being thus partially shut up, the growth of the fruit is retarded in proportion to the straining and compressing of the stalk, The fixing of the fruit also prevents the risk of its fallinc , off and get ting damaged before it reaches maturity. I have grown dahlias upon the same principle, and with similar success, and I have no doubt that the most of flower blooms, especially those which are weighty and inclin ing, can be grown much larger by the system referred to, and, in short, all sorts of vegetables, trees, &c." AGRICULTURE. Fisll MANURE.—This subject now taking atten tion, in consequence of Professor Way's valuable practical lecture (aiming, like his other lectures, at truth and utility, without a thought of exaggeration or display) I have a few observations to offer on the question of supply, which seems to have escaped his attention, In the oil fishery, the elastic whalebone and the sealskin are also collected; but the carcases and skeletons are turned. adrift. The seal carcases will, no doubt, be now converted into manure in New foundland, by Messrs. Melon and Co.'s patent ; but the whale carcases will still float about the ocean, as food for' sharks and sea vermin. Of the quantity, I cannot offer a trustworthy estimate ; but if the whalers (or other ships on purpose) could carry rough bone breakers and convenient flesh-presses, these carcases might be reduced to moderate compass : the press dried flesh would be probably half the value of guano, and the skeleton bones as good as those of other animals. In the present and increasing demand they would probably fetch, one with another, £5 per ton, which might be expected to pay. Then the sharks themselves, which abound in some seas, and are not worth fishing for the oil only, might pay in like man ner, if the entire carcases also were utilised; and, whatever their quantity, would be more welcome ashore than they are now at sea. Porpoises infest our own coasts, damaginc , the mackarel, pilchard, and herring fishery, and have been caught for their oil, but would not pay for harpooning, and are unmanage able with nets ; but if the flesh comes for guano, and the bones for phosphate, beside the oil, they may pay for harpooning yet, and leave the smaller fish, which they now destroy or drive away, to pay the net fishery, and feed our people ashore, as well in the market as in the increasing products of the soil.—J. PRIDEAUX. HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY. WALNUT CATSUP.—One hundred and twenty of the largest double walnuts ; bruise them in an earthen pan with a pound of salt ; stir them twice a day for three weeks ; press out *the liquor, and to every quart put a quarter-of-an-ounce of cloves, a quarter-of-an-ounce of mace, a quarter-of-an-ounce of nutmeg, a quarter-of-an-ounce of white and black pepper, with a few eschalots ; boil it a quarter-of-an hour, then put it in a pan, and let it stand a week or ten days ; strain it off, and add to it half-a-pound of anchovies and one pint of port wine ; simmer over the fire, then bottle for use. It should be stirred twice a day when in tbe part the second time,
