DEATH or THE REV. DR. MAGRATH.—The Jamaica rapers last received announce the death of the Rev. Dr. Magrath, one of the most talented and distinguished clergymen in Jamaica. which took place at Trelawny, on the 14th ult. The Rev. gentleman was rector of that parish, and was universally beloved. Dr. Magrath was a native of Dublin, and received his degree of LL.D. in Trinity College, of that city. He was for some time curate of St. Mark's, Liverpool, whence he embarked for Jamaica a few years since. The funeral took place on the 17th ult. and was attended by a vast concourse of people, who were anxious to pay a last tribute of respect to departed worth. - - THE NEW GUNPOWDER MAGAZINES.—The two ves sels, the Mersey and Liverpool, which are in future to contain the stores of Gunpowder in this port, and to su persede the magazines on the shore at Liscard, have been anchored in the river for about three weeks, about a mile from Eastham Ferry. On the shore immediately opposite on the Cheshire side, and in a delightful situation, there are fifteen cottages now in the course of erection for the families of the men employee at the magazines. The vessels are painted yellow, and have a small red flag at the mast-head. The lighters which attend the magazines and convey the powder to and from the stores are also dis tinguished by a small red flag from the mast-head. MUNIFICENT DONATIONS. —During the present week our highly esteemed neighbour and representative, Robt. Townley Parker, Esq., M.P., has forwarded the following very handsome donations to the charitable purposes enu merated :—£2oo to the National Schools of the town ; £lOO towards the liquidation of the debt on All Saints' Church ; £5O to the Dispensary ; £5O to the Ladies' Charity ; £5O to the Mechanics' Institution ; £so to he appropriated to the relief of the Roman Catholic sick and aged poor; and £2O to the fund for the enlargement of Christ Church. Any comment on a graceful act like this, performed after, and not before, an election, is needless. —Preston Pilot. TRANSATLANTIC STEAM-SHIPS.—The United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Captain Comstock, sailed on Wednesday, at 10 20 a.m., for New York, with 105 pas sengers and a full cargo. The Royal Mail steam-ship Europa, Lott, commander, sailed from the Mersey at noon on Slttirday, for New York, with the usual mails and a fair complement of passengers. The General Steam Screw Shipping Company's mail packet Harbinger, Capt. Lane, sailed on Thursday from Plymouth for the Cape de Verds, Ascension, the Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, Ceylon, Madras, and Calcutta. She had a full cargo of manufactured and other goods, and specie for India value £40,000. - - • ATTENIPTED SUICIDE. —A shabbily-dressed but re spectable-looking woman was brought before Mr. Mans field, on Wednesday, charged with having attempted to drown herself. The unfortunate woman had plunged into the Salthouse Dock en Saturday evening, but was con veyed to the Northern Hospital in time to save her life. Her name is Johanna Glashoff, a native of Cork, but lat terly had resided in London, supporting herself by her needle. Her husband is abroad ; and the only friend re maining to her is her father, an inmate of Chelsea Hos ' She had parted with almost all her clothes, and, in despair, soual.t - "Tr.

That the retiring treasurer (Mr. Withers) be allowed a donation of £l,OOO, or a retiring pension of £2OO per annum, at his option.—The first, second, and third recommendations were adopted ; and, after a dis cussion, in which Mr. Molyneux spoke highly of Mr. Withers' services, it was agreed that it should be left optional whether Mr. Withers took £l,OOO in one sum, or £2OO per annum. EMIGRATION FROM LIVERPOOL.—Short as the ex istence of our journal has been, we are able to congratulate our readers on the striking progress made within that brief time in developing the machinery for emigration. The friends of emigration have insisted that it would be a wise and prudent measure for the commissioners to recognize Liverpool as a port of embarkation for the northern emigrants, and our readers have been informed that, within the last few months, steps have been taken to carry out this suggestion. Indeed, the Government have been forced into its recognition by the march of events ; and we may now predict that, ere long, there will be other outports whence a regular and systematic tide of emigration must be continued. There is Bristol for the west, and Hull for the north of England, Glasgow for Scotland, and Cork or Dublin for 'lreland, with many other ports scattered round the coast of these " sea-girt isles," where every facility is offered for that stream of emigration which is now fairly directed towards our Australian settlements. If prudent and economical views have any value they must prevail in causing depiits to be established, which would producea saving both to the coun try and the emigrant. There is no necessity to bring the poor emigrant from Ireland to Plymouth before he can join the vessel that is to convey him to his new home ; nor can it have been under any real necessity that English emigration has been exclusively directed from Plymouth. Other places have claims to a share in the extensive shipment business now going forward. Objections, in deed, have been urged against using other places ; but Liverpool has refuted those objections. As it often hap pens in public affairs, it may be almost said that we owe it to an inadvertence in the commissioners that Liverpool was allowed to give a direct employment to her vast ship ping interest in the emigration schemes now prosecuted ; but, we are happy to report, that, by the trial of the last six months, the great shipping city has nobly made good her claims. By rigorously carrying out the necessary measures, and from time to time effecting improvements in them, she has brought emigration to a point of excel lence that neither London nor Plymouth have yet sur passed.—South Australian Chronicle. DISTRICT NEWS WARRINGTON. STORM. — On Wednesday evening, about half-past eight, the town was visited by a severe thunder storm, which continued for about an hour. The lightning was particu larly vivid, and the peals of thunder were loud and fre quent, but no serious damage has been reported. MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—On Tuesday evening last a meeting of the members of the discussion class assem bled to take leave of Messrs. Bethell, J. Woods, J. J. Phillips, and Peter Longshaw, jun., four members of the class, about to proceed to Australia. Refreshments were provided for the occasion, after which each was presented with an elegantly bound volume and an address. The proceedings did not terminate till nearly twelve o'clock. BOARD OF GUABDIANS.—The weekly meeting of , this here were 14 guardia board took place on Wednesday. present, and Mr. Hodgson, the chairman, presided turns for the week :—ln No. 1 district 1,001 persc been relieved at a cost of £49 Os.

Gd., of which £4-12s. was in kind, and £8 6s. 6d. in money,; in No. 3, the rural district, 401 persons had been relieved, at a cost of £22 Bs., all in money. Total number relieved, 1,606 ; total cost of relief, £B4 7s. The number of in mates in the workhouse was 131, and the number of vagrants lodged and relieved, 59. Compared with the returns for the corresponding vreek last.year, these returns show a decrease of 225 in the number relieved, of £7 13s. in the cost of relief, and of 73 in the number of vagrants, Jut an increase of 10 in the number of inmates ofthl workhouse. The balance in the treasurer's hands wa, £357 is CHESHIRE AND WALES. HORTICULTURE. OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK. Stove, Conservatory, kc.— Those plants, whether climbers or others, which are permanently planted out under glass, now require much attention, the great heat and imperfect ventilation being very favourable to the development of insects. Thorough and frequent syringing and occasional fumigation must be employed. Sow seeds of calceolarias and cinerarias, and place the seed pans in cold frames, where they must be shaded. Pelargoniums which have done flowering, and have ripened their wood, should now be cut back and placed in a frame, in order that they may break into new shoots. Keep them close until the new buds are developed ; then give plenty of air and moisture. If the plants are intended for winter flowering, the cutting back must be very slight, and they must be kept freely growing, with a plentiful supply of moisture and liquid manure. Flower Garden.—The heavy rains, succeeded by bright hot weather, have produced a rapid development of the beauties of this department; the bedded plants now coming to perfection require the earth to be slightly stir• red amongst them, and the shoots pegging down as they spread. Propagate pinks, carnations, pansies, and any choice herbaceous plants by cuttings or otherwise. Kitchen Garden.—Sow the last crop of peas. As soon as ground can be got into order, proceed with planting out winter brocoli, and the other kinds of cabbage, kale, &c. Sow turnip seed ; the new sort, called Chivas's Orange Jelly, is certainly the best late sort. We have tried it, and are both surprised and pleased with its very superior qualities. MISCELLANEA. Strawberries Grafted on Roses.—A short time ago there were exhibited in Paris, in a florist's shop on the Boulevard des Italiens, several rose trees, upon which were grafted a few strawberry plants. This curiosity at tracted much attention from the passers-by. The pro cess by which it was effected was as follows .—ln autumn a few dog-roses of good sorts, on their own roots, are se lected and planted in pots ; at the same time a well rooted strawberry is placed with each rose, planted just beneath the stem of the rose. In spring, when the run ners push out, two or three of them are tied up to the stem of the rose. It is well known that the runners of the strawberries soon make their own roots, and in due time these roots are cut away, making the cuts as for a scion, and then they are grafted on the rose stem, " without cutting or rearing the runners from the parent plant in the ground." They should be preserved very carefully, to lead the sap upwards to the scions, and, treated in this way, the strawberries will vegetate upon the rose tree for some time. Manuring Fruit Trees.—The Dutch, who are admir able gardeners. bad in the Great Exhibition an instru ment called "Earth-borer," for manuring fruit trees without digging the ground. A circle of holes is bored round the tree, at 2 feet distance from the tree, and a foot from each other. Taking the tree at a foot diameter at the surface of the soil, the circle will be 5 feet diameter and 15 feet circumference ; and if the holes are 3 inches diameter and a foot apart —l5 inches, there will be about 12 holes ; more or less according to the diameter of the tree. They are 18 inches deep (where there is enough depth of soil), and slanting towards the centre ; are filled with liquid manure, diluted more or less in dry weather, and stronger as the weather is wetter. Fo r the time of application, Dr. Lindley tells us (Gardeners' ,• for using 1 freely ; fruit is 'eb. 21, 1552,) " For fruit, the proper time Lid manure is when the fruit is beginning to is arc-mired. by mean'. is own n .ofripen hen the flowers are growing, cates to them must also be but when leaves are grow- „ communicated to the leaves ger that they ing unusu may rob the branches of the sap required for the nutrition of the fruit; and if that happens, the latter falls off.

SAVAGE. — This wastrcase tried at the Lincoln assizes on Tuesday. The plaintiff, who is about 40 years of age, keeps a grocer's and draper's shop at Holbeach ; and the defendant is a landowner and opulent farmer in the neighbourhood, 55 years of • age. Damages were laid at £2,000. As the defendant and the brother of the plaintiff were travelling together; the families having been intimate for years, an acquaintance was commenced, but shortly after the lady attempted to break it off on the ground that she had mistaken her own feelings—that she did not want to marry, and felt that she was in a right position. This was at the end of 1848. Several letters were exchanged, not particularly overcharged with ex pressions indicative of the tender passion. In reply to her first letter declining marriage, the defendant wrote : " Perhaps this little wildness may arise from never hav ing had a proper offer from any respectable man (G. H. excepted). If so, it is excusable ; forgive me when I ask,is it vanity mixed up with Methodistical principles which caused you to get so forward ? and I am pleased to hear you are happy and content in your present situation ; al though, at the same time, I think figuring behind a counter, waiting on the evil and the good, and notknow ing your own feelings, is a situation not very enviable. A reconciliation soon took place, however, and the de fendant was introduced at the end of the year 1848 to the plaintiff's family as her accepted suitor; and it was then arranged that the marriage should take place in February, 1849, at St. George's, Hanover-square, London. In the beginning of 1849 the defendant wished that the marriage should be postponed, and he bad a fit of illness which interrupted the intercourse between them. About that time the plaintiff wrote several letters to the defendant, complaining that she could neither see nor hear from him, and that she had almost forgotten what sort of person he was. In the meantime, the defendant had lent money to the plaintiff's brother to the amount of £3OO. A_ pro missory note for £3OO, signed by the plaintiff and her brother, was given to the defendant as a security for that debt ; and in the month of April, 1849, he began to apply for the interest, and about the same time exprossed his intention of not marrying the plaintiff. She, on the other hand, insisted upon the fulfilment of his promise, and refused to pay any part of the £3OO unless he did so. Ultimately an action on the promissory note was com menced by the present defendant, and within three days the writ was issued in the present action.—For the de fence, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins criticised the whole of the letters, and contended that the defendant had been re leased from the obligation ; that the letters plainly made out that there was no affection in the matter, that the transaction was one purely and solely of business, and that the action would not have been brought, had not the defendant become plaintiff in another action to reco ver the lent money.—His lordship, in summing up, re marked that probably there was not much affection in the matter, but the lady was induced to believe that she was to be made the wife of a respectable Lincolnshire yeoman, and undoubtedly she was entitled to remuneration for the lost position, for it was in evidence that the defendant had promised to marry the plaintiff, and settle £2OO a year upon her.—The jury, after being absent for a short time, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £6OO. —ln the cross act 4 ^- -- - ---;=sort' note, a verdict upon the prom was taken by consent for £345, principal and interest ; and an order was made that the damages and costs in the one action should be set off against the damages and costs in tha other, and that the balance only should be paid. ,• _ OLDAKER V.

Defendant, however, did not come near his affianced on the 31st as promised, and visibly beg= to cool in his attachment. Plaintiff staid at her brother's until October 9, when she went home to her father's, where she was confined on the 23d of a female child. Plaintiff applied to her seducer, by letter, after the birth of the child, to know what his intentions were ; but no reply came. When she went to her brother's in 1850, she was a sprightly young girl, attractive in her appear. and well educated, boasting of not a few intellectual ae well as personal charms. When she came back to her father, and for some time previous to that, she was sad and melancholy ; she did not face her father for whole days ; she avoided crossing the threshold of the door, and was seen by none. Her distracted state of mind and hen midnight vigils in her bedroom, where she remained weeping day and night, bad made a permanent impressions upon her health, and broken down an excellent consti— tution. The two brothers of the young lady and her mother were called as witnesses. The tic() former proved that the defendant had frequently told them that all his father's property, worth from £6OOO to £SOOO, was en— tailed upon him; and, further, that his aunt Bland would leave him a legacy of £5OO. The evidence of the mother was very affecting. She seemed a highly respectable per son, and spoke with much feeling of the change which had taken place in her daughter's health and happiness. Miss Bird had evidently been the light of the household. " While she was with us," said the old lady, "she was lively and cheerful, and she seemed to make us all so happy." One of the plaintiff's brothers proved the hand— writing of several poetical effusions fro m M r . B ansa ll to his betrothed, among which was one written in blank verse, of which we!ippeiAa copy_— "Fanny, I love th - ee still, my heart Thrills to thy voice, I live for thee: Absence has not produced forgetl ulness.

We have little to report in the way of novelty, for so well received has been Woman's Heart," that that has been the staple play.• In spite of the excessive heat, large au diences have been drawn to witness the performances. On the night of our last publication a smaller audience than usual was gathered to witness the sternly grand in terpretation given by Mr. Vandenhoff to Coridanus; and on Saturday this classic actor appeared in " Julius Cesar," impersonating Brutus. Remembering his per formance of Cato, we have in these three characters the soul of Mr.Wandenhoff's great acting ; for, though great, and sometimes unapproached, in other characters, as in Richelieu arid lag°, he towers above every contemporary in such classic subjects. Macbeth is the only other Shakspearian 2-6le, Othello excepted, in which Mr. Van denhoff has on this occasion appeared ; and it was one of those fine performances on which the critic likes to dwell, and would willingly expatiate.
