Saturday, Jan. 5, will be published, price Fivepence, or Sixpence stamped, each volume complete in itself, TWENTY-FOUR, OCCASIONALLY THIRTY-TWO FOLIO PAGES, THE FIRST NUMBER FOR 1856 OF THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE AND AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE; A WEEKLY RECORD OF RURAL ECONOMY AND GENERAL NEWS. THE HORTICULTURAL PART EDITED BY PROFESSOR LINDLEY. The FARMING PART (under the Editorship of a Practical Farmer) treats of — The Practice of Agriculture. Results of Experimental Farming.:_ Foresting. Agricultural Science. Growth and Rotation of Crops. Road-making. Animal and Vegetable Physiology. Management of Stock. Farm-buildings. Improvements in Implements, described Veterinary Science. Labourers. by Woodcuts whenever requisite. Drainage. Treatment of Poultry. Better Modes of Husbandry. Irrigation. Agricultural Publications. In short, whatever affects the beneficial employment of Capital in hand. Reports are regularly given of the English, Scotch, and Irish Agricultural Societies and Farmers' Clubs, London Market Prices of Corn, Hay, Cattle, Seeds, Hops, Potatoes, Vi 001, Coal, Timber, Bark, &c. ' and the Weekly Averages. An Edition is also published Every Monday in time for post, containing the Mark-lane and Cattle-markets. As regards the GARDENING PART (under the Editorship of Dr. Lindley), the principle is to make it a Weekly Record of every thing that bears upon Horticulture, Floriculture, Aboriculture, or Garden Botany, and such Natural History as has a relation to Gardening, with Notices and Criticisms of all Works on such subjects. Connected with this part are WEEKLY CALENDARS of GARDENING OPERATIONS, given in detail, and adapted to the objects of persons in every station of life; so that the Cottager, with:a few roods of ground before his door, the Amateur who has only a greenhouse, and the Manager of Extensive Gardens, are alike informed of the Routine of Operations which the varying seasons render necessary. It moreover contains Reports of Horticultural Exhibitions and Proceedings—Notices of Novelties and Improvements—in fact, everything that can tend to advance the Profession, benefit the condition of the Workman, or conduce to the pleasure of his Employer. Woodcuts are given whenever the matter treated of requires that mode of Illustration. REPLIES TO QUESTIONS connected with the object of the Paper are also furnished weekly. Lastly, that description of DOMESTIC and POLITICAL NEWS is , introduced which is usually found in a Weekly Newspaper. It i& unnecessary to dwell on this , head further than to say, that the proprietors do not range themselves under the banners of any Party ; their earnest endeavours are to make the GARDENERS' CHRONICLE and AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE a full and com prehensive Record of Feels only—a Newspaper in the true seuse of the word—leaving, the reader to form his own opinions; their object being the elucidation of the laws of Nature, not of Man. The reader is thus furnished, in addition to the peculiar features of the Journal, with such information concerning the events of the day, as supersedes the necessity of his providing himself with any other Weekly Paper. A Prospectus, with List of Contributors, may be had on application; or by letter, at the Office, 5, Upper Wellington-iireet, Covent-Garden, London.. From Returns issued by the Government, it appears that the average weekly number of Stamps supplied to the GARDENERS' CHRONICLE AND AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE during the last eleven years was 6,577.

The exuberance of the feelings amid scenes of gaiety induces the fair and youthful to shine to advantage under the gaze of many friends, and therefore to devote increased attention to the duties of the Toilet. It is at this festive season that ROWLANDS' AUXILIARIES OF HEALTH AND BEAUTY are more than usually essential for preserving the Hair in all its decorative charm, the Skin and Complexion transparent and blooming, and the Teeth in their pearl-like lustre. The Patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, their general use by rank and fashion, and the universally-known efficacy of these articles give them a celebrity unparalleled, and render them peculiarly ELEGANT AND SEASONABLE PRESENTS. ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL Is a delightfully fragrant and transparent preparation for the Hair, and as an invigorator and purifier beyond all precedent. In dressing the Hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering it so admirably soft that it will lie in any direction, imparting a tran ecendant lustre, and sustaining it in decorative charm during the heated atmosphere of crowded assemblies.

This fine-flavoured and tnuch-esteemed ALE, so largely in demand during the Christmas of 1851.

Dr. Brett's Opinion of Aspinall's Preston Pans Beer. Mild Pale Ale. and East India Pale Ale, brewed at the Anchor Brewery, Birkenhead. "Laboratory, Royal Infirmary, Liverpool, Dec., 1852. " I have, at the request of Mr. H. K. Aspinall, of the Anchor Brewery, Birkenhead, submitted to a careful chemical examina tion three descriptions of Beer, called respectively Preston Pans Beer, Mild Pale Ale, and East India Pale Ale. lam decidedly of opinion that they are very wholesome beverages, and contain no other ingredients than those found in pure malt liquors. They have been very well fermented, and consequently do not contain any amount of unfermented sugar, frequently found in some descriptions of Ale ; and being also free from any excess of mucila ginous matters capable of acting as ferments, they are remarkably bright, and retain that brightness to the last. Several medical friends of mine have expressed a very favourable opinion as re gards their quality. "R. H. BRETT, Ph. P. , F.LS. , "And Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurisprudence." Dr. Sheridan Muspratt's opinion of Aspinall's Pale Ale and Preston Pans Beer. " Liverpool, Dec. 12th, 1854. " Dear Sir,—Having undertaken, at your request, a research upon your different Beers, videlicit—East India Pale Ale, Mild Pale Ale, India Pale Ale, Preston Pans Beer, I feel happy in for warding you the annexed results. The sifting nature of the chemical examination to which your Malt Liquors have been subjected, establishes their incontestiLle purity; they do not contain a particle of any injurious substance. I must confess I was not a little surprised to find that such excellent Beers were brewed in the vicinity of Liverpool. It proves in a most satis factory manner that you have exercised much care in the selection of the hest kind of Hops and Malt, anti that you possess great scientific skill in conducting the several important stages through which these have to pass. I was very much struck with the India Pale Ale, twelve months old. It is extremely bright, sparkling, and refreshing, and must act as an excellent tonic, and, I am sure, will be relished by all those seeking an agreeable and beneficial anodyne bitter, which tends to preserve the vigour of the stomach, and conduces, oftentimes, to the restoration of the health of that organ, when debilitated. Your Preston Pang Beer is a very nice light beverage, having a peculiar but And flavour, which must be gratiy relished by many families. The East India Pale Ale and the Mild Pale Ale are like the above well fermented, and made from the best and most wholesome in gredients therefore are sure to command popularity. In con cluding, I ' am glad to tell you that, having now tasted your Ales, I shall in future use them in my house, as they are fully equal to any I have analysed.-1 am, Sir, yours respectfully, " SHERIDAN MUSPRATT, F.R.S. " Mr. Henry K. Aspinall. "Professor of Chemistry." The demand for this fine-flavoured ALE is greatly on the in crease, Merchants, Bottlers, and Hotelkeepers finding it equal in flavour, colour, and quality to the finest Burton-brewed Ales, and at Prises very considerably less than any similar Ale now on the market. It is warranted to keep sound in Wood or Bottle for years, and never changes its brilliancy of colour. It improves by long keeping.

The following is a testimonial of a gentleman at Frodabam, in Cheshire, accompanying an order for a further supply of Preston Pans Table Beer " Frodsharn, Cheshire,March 31, 1851. " Sir,--41ease to send me another quarter-barrel of Preston Pans Beer, directing it, as before, per 13. L., and C. Railway, to Frodsharn. "The barrel *hith I have now on draught is giving every satisfaction, eontinning quite dotind and bri4k, though it has now been more than six weeks on draught. 1 use a vent-peg, which closes of itself, with a spring, so that the beer cannot be left ex posed to the air through the carelessness of servants. " I suppose you do not require that empty caske should always be returned literally within three months, for this I could not always do, as a quarter-barrel generally lasts from eight to ten weeks on draught, and I like to have it on the stillion fora couple of weeks before I begin to use it.
