Secretly, they rely upon nothing and upon nobody. There is such a powerful element of failure in all human affairs, that a shrewd man is always saying to himself — Which shall I do, if that which I count upon does not come out as I-expect ? This foresight dwarfs and crushes all but men of great resolution. * * Get, if you can, into one or other of the main grooves of human affairs. It is all the difference of going by railway, and walking over a ploughed field, whether you adopt common courses, or set up one for yourself. You will see, if your times are anything like ours, most inferior persons highly placed in the army, in the church, in office, at the bar. They have somehow got upon the line, and have moved on well with very little original motive of their own. Do not let this make you talk as if merit were utterly neglected in these or any profession ; only that getting well into the groove will frequently do instead of any great excellence. —Companions of my Solitude. FEMAS.E EnucarioN.—lt has often occurred to us, that amongst the many serious defects of our educational and social systems, the manner in which our ladies are brought up is one of the most lamentable. What used to be called " accomplishments" may be considered at best as only supplying a certain sort of brilliant way of wasting time, when they - are not associated with some usual pur suits. To be merely an accomplished lady, in the vulgar sense, is to be a person carefully trained up to a life of idleness—a state of existence full of dangers and tempta tions even to men, but of especial hazard to women. The great deficiency in the education of women of the middle and higher classes is, that their faculties of usefulness are not brought out—that they are not given a direct interest in any of the affairs of life, which their capacities, habits, and opportunities might enable them to cultivate with advantage. Men, however independent in fortune, have _ n occupation of some sort provided for them and enforced upon them by their position—estates to manage, local duties to discharge, and a hundred other responsi bilities. But women have no occupation. This is an evil of great magnitude. There sits that young wife all day long, pampered in luxuries, with every want supplied ex cept that aching vacancy, first in her brain, and then, perhaps, in her heart, which grows upon her, and widens, and becomes more dresry day after day, as pillowed in her drawing-room, she sits through the long lazy sunshine, glad of any face or voice that breaks the dulness, and helps her to something to do or to think of. Her hands are idle—her head is idle— her heart is unoccupied ; but if this continue, they will all find employment by and by ! Now, here is the terrible issue to be guarded against. Give a woman an occupation proper to her sex and - sphere and the sunshine will pass over her from day to day, and bring with it, not fearful suggestions and agitating thoughts, but peace and gladness. If we consider the na ture of the intellect of son for the restr )men, we really can see no rea ions laid upon them in the choice of ley possess talents of all kinds.

The first health raarlocbri when the flask is Anemia at Johannishercr be the monarch's name who gave the song-inspiring yin tage. Charlemagne's superiority and ability consisted chiefly in seeking and seizing the immediate advantages, whatever they might be, which he could confer upon others -.6 or obtain for himself. He was a man of fore thought, ready contrivance, and useful talent. He would employ every expedient, grasp every opportunity, and ,rovide for each day as it was passing by. The educa an tional movement resulting from Charlemagne's genius y- I I was ractical. r r" - he V -- • his The most ac- wo main objects hat. .nerein upon conscience and his mind.

No argument was needed as to the obligation of uniting sa cred and secular !earning, because the idea of disuniting His other object in patro- Aism.g learning truction was the benefit of the State. He sought to train good men of business ; judges well qualified, ready penmen in his chancery; and this sage desire expanded into a wide instructional field. Charlemagne's exertions for promoting the study of the Greek language—his Greek professorships at Osnaburgh or Saltzburgh—have been praised, doubted, discussed, as something very paradoxical ; whereas his motives were plain, and his machinery simple. Greek was, to all in tents and purposes the current language of an opulent and powerful nation, required for the transaction of public affairs. A close parallel, necessitated by the same causes, exists in the capital of Charlemagne's successors. The Oriental Academy at Vienna is constituted to afford a supply of individuals qualified for the diplomatic inter course, arising out of the vicinity and relations of the Aus trian and Ottoman dominions, without any reference to the promotion of philology. We find the same at home. If the Persian language be taught at Hai!eybury, it is to fit the future Writer of his Indian office.

And the theories of Charlemagne and Napoleon, though irreconcileably antagonistic in their conception, would, were either fully developed, become identical in their result, notwithstanding their contrarieties. They start in opposite directions, but, circling round their courses, would, were it permitted that they should perse vere continuously and consistently—meet at the same point of convergence, and attain the same end. More over, the territorial empires of Napoleon and Charle magne had their organically fatal characteristic in com- never entertained Each founder attempted to accomplish political impossibilities—to conjoin communities unsusceptible of amalgamation ; to harmonise the discordant elements which could only be kept together by external force, whilst their internal forces sprung them asunder—a unity without internal union.

AWFUL OCCURRENCE AT AN EVENING PARTY.—" My goodness, Emily ! they're beginning the quadrille, and here's all my ' back hair' coming down ! ! Whatever shall I do ?" ARISTOCRATIC SPORTS EXTRAORDINARY.—The Lord Chamberlain, on the occasion of her Majesty's state visits to the Opera, has lately gone through his unique and in teresting feat of walking backwards, up-stairs and down stairs, through the lobbies, and across the corridors, hold ing in his hands—during the whole time occupied in the performance—a pair of massive silver candlesticks. The feat was got through in the usual clean and masterly style, to the great admiration of all who witnessed it. The Chamberlain went off at a slapping pace, turning all the corners with his usual adroitness, and taking the stairs as pleasantly as a regularly-trained hunter would take a hedge or a hurdle. We know of nothing equal to this exploit since the splendid ichievement of the Chelsea Chicken, who ran a mile forwards, half-a-mile backwards, six yards on his hands, three furlongs in a sack, and an acte on stilts, picking up by the way six new-laid eggs, a pound of cherries, placed three yards apart, and con cluding by throwing three somersaults over a clothes basket. It will be observed, however, that the Chicken had nothing in his hand, and in comparing the feats above described, great allowance must be made for, and great weight attached to, the massive silver candlesticks. FLAX V. llEmr.—One of the transparencies in Cheap side on the occasion of the Queen's visit to the City re presented a crop of flax, with the inscription, " Flax the Remedy of Ireland's Distress." It is to be hoped that this plant will prove more efficacious than a kindred one has been found in the treatment of Irish disorders. In " the land of misrule and half hanging and flame," hemp has been abundantly tried without success. There is promise in flax of answering considerably better than hemp.

HERALDIC FRAGMENTS.—Nobody has a right to 5 " coat" who has never had a grant of one ; but many as sume them on credit, or get credit for them, on very ques tionable grounds. When you marry an heiress, you quarter the arms of her house—when she has money, you quarter yourself in her house, likewise. " Differences" in heraldry, like differences in life, have their origin in family matters. A difference is worn by a son to shew his numerical order in the family. Thus, a third son wears a " mollet" for his difference ; though many a younger son in life finds that a difference leads to his having no mollet, mullet, or other fish, at all accessible. REPEAL OF WINTER IN lIYDE PARK.—The folks of Marylebone have been, as a body, the first to declare in favour of a total repeal of the fogs, sleet, snow, and wind, of an English winter ; Mr. Paxton having guaranteed the absence of the terrible old tyrant from, at least, eighteen acres of Hyde Park ; where Eden may be raised under the Crystal Palace, and kept in perennial bloom. The City of London is expected very soon to speak upon the matter. The civic taste for exotic turtle will—who can doubt it ? declare for congenial orange groves, and for other lemons than those to be found in winter time in certain mouths in the larders of certain taverns. No time is to be lost ; for we understand that Colonel Sibthorp is about to pre sent a petition declaratory of the vested rights of an Eng lish winter, as shewn, time out of mind, in coughs, colds, blue noses, chilblains, and chapped fingers.. and docurr marks, and other si governors who could not cornpr , until, by discovered that the whole The authors are proud shment, particularly of their fabri rts.

Oh that there were more love in the world, and then these things that we deplore could not be ! One would think that the man that had once loved any woman would have some tenderness for all ; and love impl'es an infinite respect. All that was said and done by chivalry of old, or sung by Troubadours, but shadows forth the feeling which is in the heart of one who loves. Love, like the opening of the heavens to the Saints, shews for a mo ment, even to the dullest man, the possibilities of the human race. He has faith, hope, and charity, for another • being, perhaps but a creature of his imagination ; still it is a great advance for a man to be profoundly loving, even in his imaginations. Indeed, love is a thing so deep and so beautiful, that each man feels that nothing but conceits and pretty words have been said about it by other men. And then to come down from this, and to dishonour the image of the thing so loved ! Companions of my Solitude. THE ARTS, ARCHITECTURE, AND CIVILISATION OF ROME. — Roman taste gave the fashion to the garment,— Roman skill, the models for the instruments of war. We lave been told to seek in the forests of Germany the ori gin of the feudal system and the conception of the Gothic aisle. We shall discover neither there. Architecture is the costume of society, and throughout European Chris tendom that costume was patterned from Rome. Unapt and unskilful pupils, she taught the Ostrogothic workman to plan the palace of Theodoric ; the Frank, to decorate the hall of Charlemagne; the Lombard, to vault the duomo ; the Norman, to design the cathedral. Above all, Rome imparted to our European civilisation her luxury, her grandeur, her richness, her splendour, her ex altation of human reason, her spirit of free inquiry, her ready mutability, her unwearied activity, her expansive and devouring energy, her hardness of heart, her intellec tual pride, her fierceness, her insatiate cruelty, that unre lenting cruelty which expels all other races out of the very pale of humanity; whilst our direction of thought, our literature, our languages, concur in uniting the domi nions, kingdoms, states, principalities, and powers, com posing our civilised commonwealth in the Old Continent and the New, with the terrible people through whom that civilised commonwealth wields the thunderbolts of the dreadful monarchy, diverse from all others which preceded amongst mankind.—Palgrave's History of Normandy and -of England. LIVERPOOL MITNIncENcE.—In the month of February, '1798, the government being greatly pressed for money to meet the enormous expenses of the war, a voluntary sub scription was entered into, for its assistance, in all parts of the kingdom. The sum raised for that purpose in Li verpool amounted to upwards of £17,000, which is equal to a contribution of about £lOO,OOO, in the present state of the population and wealth of the town. At the same time, it was determined to raise an additional volunteer force, to meet the double danger of a threatened invasion from France and approaching rebellion in Ireland. At this time of peril, upwards of eight hundred new vo lunteers came forward in defence of their country. The whole volunteer free of Liverpool was then formed into two battalions of inlintry, the firct commanded by Col. George Case. the second by Colonel Pudsey Dawson ; a strong body of artillery, commanded by Jacob Nelson, Esq. ; and a troop of cavalry, commanded by Edward Falkner, Esq., of Fairfield. These different corps re mained embodiei until the peace of Amiens. They, with similar regiments in all parts of the kingdom, formed a large part of the defence of the country, many of the re gulars being on foreign service, and upwards of 88,000 of the militia quartered in Ireland. During the rebellion of 1799 the marching of troops through Liverpool was almost incessant. No less than 7,000 militia sailed from Liver pool for Ireland in a single week. The suppression of the Irish rebellion in the summer of 1798, and Nelson's vic tory of the Mt- in the autumn of 'list year, which, for a while, cut off the already formidable Bonaparte from Eu rope, restored confidence, but did not cause any relaxation in the preparations for the defence of the country. At the close of 1798 there were 4,009 French prisoners in Liver pool.—Baines's History of Liverpool. A PORTRAIT OF RADETSRY.—The marshal was all goodness to his officers, and his soldiers adored him : I have seen some into whose eyes, when he spoke to them, emotion and joy brought tears. His generosity was pro verbial in the army—he liked to have a great many officers at his table ; had been possible, he would have invited the whole army. Every morning it was his habit to throw out money to the pocr w:io assembled under his windows ; and often, at daybreak, when I was sleeping on a sofa in the room adjoining his bedchamber, I was awakened by the impatient cries of these impudent beggars, c l a i m i ng their daily tribute. When I wanted to drive them away, he laughed at my indignation. Although compelled to .take most energeti c measures , f requent l y he p i ty i ngly closed his eyes to things he would have been compelled to punish ; and yet he was not liked by the Italians of the town : the women especially took pains to chew that all their sympathy was with the Piedmont and put on Mourning when these w ere d efeated at Santa ee ' Lucia. One of these ladies, Madame P a l m .. (it surprised in so e .distinguished a person,) wore suspended to her neck a portrait of Pio Nono as large as a hand, and knots of tri coloured ribbons wherever she could place oetuhr movements, em oe s m he en w t a s s . constantly at her window , observing all and on the watch for bad . news. Other women surpassed Madame Palm.. in their demonstrations. The Countess Gr.. went down from her balcony, armed with a dagger, and spit upon the uniform of an officer of my regiment, who was led prisoner through the streets , of Milan, ca lli ng young him a German dog and a hang man s lacquey. A you person, at a great ['inner at Count 8.. 's, refused a dish that was offered to her : " No, thank you," she replied, " I am no longer hungry ; nevertheless, if it were a Croat's heart, I would eat the whole of it."—De Ptmodan'e Reminiscences and Scenes of the Italian War.

V .11RIETIE S. . Liberality consists less in giving much than in giving wisely. CE RTA NLY.—Whenever a wish is father to the thought, it will be a(p)parent. We should take care we do not make our profession of reli gion a substitute for religion. To give your opinion before required, looks like upbraiding another's ignorance, or overhauling your own parts. Company which does not help to improve us will certainly have a contrary effect. Deep is the joy of social silence when we speak not with the loved, but feel their presence. A man's wedding day is called his "bridal day." The ortho graphy of the word is wrong—it should be written bridle. Truth, they say, lies in a well. " For my part," said a wit, " I thought it the property of truth to lie nowhere." A woman charged with being drunk and disorderly, denied the latter offence, saying that "she was too drunk to be dis orderly." What a man has learned is of importance; but what he is, what he can do, what he will become, are more significant things. THINGS TO BE WATCHED.—When we are alone we hare our thoughts to watch ; in our families our tempers; and in soci ety our tongues. THE SECRET OF BECOMING GREAT.—" I was industrious; whoever is equally sedulous, will be equally successful."— John Sebastian Bach. SENSATION.—I 0 U tev the vowels which create more dis agreeable sensations in the minds of honest men, than all the rest of the alphabet put together. A writer, in describing the last scene of Othello, has this exquisite passage:—" Upon which the Moor, seizing a bolster full of rage and jealousy, smothers her." A great mind may change its objects, but it cannot relin quish them ; it must have something to pursue; variety is its relaxation, and amusement its repose. The violet grows low and covers itself with its own leaves, and yet of all flowers it yields the sweetest perfume. It is even so with true Christians. There are few higher gratifications than that of reflection on surmounted evils, when they were not incurred nor protracted by our fault, and neither reproach us with cowardice nor guilt. A SUFFICIENT EXCUSE.—A gentleman having lately been called on to subscribe to a course of lectures, declined, " be aid he, " my wife gives me a lecture every night for cans, nothing." An old lady.. not remarkable for the clearness of her ideas, describing a fine summer evening, said—" It was a beautiful, bright night; the moon made everything " as light as a fea ther." A SMART SARCASM.—A young lady lately app , ared in male attire at St. Louis, and one of the editors says that her disguise was so perfect she might have passed for a man had she had a little more modesty. He who continually says that he is a man of truth and ho nour, that he wrongs no man, but wishes the ills he has done others may fall upon himself, and swears, that he may be be lieved, does not know even how to counterfeit an honest man. Too much fancy is not necessary in our conversation or wri tings; it begets vain and puerile ideas, which tend neither to make us wiser nor better. Our thoughts should be produced by good sense and right reason, and ought always to be the effect of our judgment. Some people are never quiet, others are always so—and they are both to blame; for that which looks like vivacity and in dustry in the one, is only a restlessness and agitation; and that which passes in the other for moderation and reserve, is but a drowsy and inactive sloth. " I remember," says John Wesley, " hearing my father say to my mother, How could you have patience to tell that blockhead the same thing twenty times over?' Why,' said she, if I had told him but nineteen times, I should have lost all my labour.' " THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD.—It has been said that if we leave out the Pyramids from among the seven wonders of the ancient world, the other six could be placed in the inside of the wonder of the modern world now standing in Hyde-park. A GALLANT HUSBAND.—MF. Graham, the aeronaut, states, in reference to the late balloon accident, that owing to the ex treme gustiness of the weather, he refused to allow any stranger to encounter the risk of the ascent. The party who accompa nied him was only his wife. The ugliest man in the whole world resides, it is said, in the interior of Pennsylvania : he is so ugly that no game is found within thirty miles of his residence. He one day encountered a stray wild pigeon ; the bird gave one look, a piercing scream, and fell at 'his feet perfectly dead. SHARP REPLY.—Those two celebrated divines and scholars, Drs. South and Sherlock, were once disputing on some reli gious subject, when the latter accused his opponent of using his wit in the controversy. " Well," said South, " suppose it had pleased God to give you wit, what would you have done?" " I CANNA BE FASHED."—A clergyman dwelt in a quiet rural district, where laziness is apt to grow upon a man. One day his excellent spouse remarked to him at breakfast, " Mi nister, there's a bit o' butter on your neckcloth." " Weel, weel, Janet, my dear," slowly responded the worthy pastor, " when I get up it'll fa' aff." HOSPITALITY HINDERED.—It is said that Hope has pur chased for 10,000 guineas the splendid malachite door shown in the Russian department of the Great Exhibition. Should this be the case, it may prove a check to the gentleman's hos pitality, for when a friend cornea to dine with him, he will most probably show him the door. The Jersey Times has an impromptu, written on seeing la dies' bonnets hung with blue shades:— " 0 1 age of reverses, and times of disorder, On which forlorn poets in vain would write sonnets; Once, All the blue bonnets were over the border,' Now, all the blue borders are over the bonnets !" A DISTANT RELATION.—We saw yesterday a recommends• tion written by an Irish friend of ours, in favour of a gentleman who was an applicant for a commission in the army. Among other things he says : " Mr. —is closely connected with the President, his father having fought a duel with one of the Polka." REAL POLITENESS.—David Crockett, says the Boston Tran script, used to say of the late Philip Hone, with whom he was in Congress, that he was the politest man he ever knew : " 'Cause why?" said the Colonel, " he fillers puts his bottle on the sideboard before lie asks you to drink, and then turns his back so as not to see how much you take This," adds the Colonel, " is what I call real perdteness." ANTIQUITY OF THE WELSH LANGUAGE.—At a meeting at Swansea lately, one of the speakers, the Rev. James James, said that " Welshmen, excluded by their language from general knowledge, were in the midst of human pro4ress like men looking on some fair landscape at midnight. Their eyes were good, and tte view was grand; but there was no light upon it —yet the Welsh language had been spoken in. Eden, and would last for ever." (Loud applause.) Only think of "The loveliest pair that ever since in love's embraces met" speaking Welsh ! A CALL ON MR. CANTF.Lo.—Cestain " gentlemen" belong ing to the 15th Hussars and the 16th Lancers, who lately dis tinguished themselves in so eggs-traordinary a manner, paid Mr. Cantelo's Hydro-Incubator, the other day, the " honour" of a visit. It was observed that they wore shell-jackets, a pe culiarity in the uniform of those particular officers, prescribed, by command, to commemorate their celebrated achievement at Tooting and South Lambeth Gate. The gallant heroes ap• neared to take much interest in the exhibition. evidently re garding with wonder, as sources of animal life, objects which they had hitherto been accustomed to view principally in the light of ammunition. They requested that any eggs on which Mr. Cantelo's process might prove inoperative, might be sent to their quarters. PROPOSED ADDITION TO TUE ARMY.—The glorious exploit performed by certain gallant officers, on the occasion of the late famous retreat from Epsom, is well known. This brilliant piece of service ought to he commemorated. Two modes pre sent themselves to lie. Punch, whereby an object so nearly affecting the honour of her Majesty's army might be accom plished. One is the addition to each of the regiments where unto the heroes belong of an Egg Division. The other, and perhaps the more eligible, is the establishment of a separate corps, into which all those officers shall be drafted, and which shall be distinguished by the title of the —th Regiment of Guards (Black). Such a troop would be admirably calculated for foreign service, for more reasons than one; but that one is, that by valour such as theirs alone could we expect our ene mies ever to be brought completely under the yolk.—Punch. A RARE PATRIMONY.—A young man of Nuremburg, who bad no fortune, requested a lawyer, a friend of his, to recom mend him to a family where he was a daily visitor, and where there was a handsome daughter who was to have a large for tune. He did so. The father inquired his means; the lawyer said he did not exactly know, but he would inquire. The next time he saw his young friend, lie asked him if he had any pro perty at all. " No," replied he. " Well," said the lawyer, " would you suffer any one to cut off your nose, if he would give you twenty thousand dollars for it?" (What an idea!) " Not for the world 1" " 'Tis well," replied the lawyer; " I had reason for asking." The next time he saw the girl's father, he said "I have inquired about the young man's circumstances. He has, indeed, no ready money, hut he has a jewel, for which, to my knowledge, he has been offered and refused twenty thousand dollars." This induced the father to consent to the marriage, which accordingly took place, though it is said that in the sequel he often shook his head when he thought of the jewel. HORTICULTURE. --40- The Grand Horticultural and Agricultural Exposition to be held at Tarvin-hall, in August next, has already in its antecedents so far surpassed the original ideas of its projectors, that it is impossible to estimate its ultimate beneficial results. We can safely assert that so compre hensive a scheme as the schedule presents was never before issued by any similar society. The general com mittee embraces every well-known practical man in the three kingdoms in connection with agriculture and horti culture. The executive is more local, and limited to a smaller number of well-practised hands. There will be every variety of the produce of the garden, field, orchard, and forest ; every kind of implement and mechanical contrivance, even to vermin-traps and gate-latches; all sorts of covering for fruit trees ; garden ornaments in metal, stone, terracotta, &c. - garden statuary, fountains, grotto-work, designs for villas, lodges, ornamental gar dens, &c., &c. ; in fact, more than was brought together in London—while for the poultry an extensive aviary is erecting. Already 500 yards of coloured tabling, and more than an acre of ground space, is claimed by exhi bitors from London, Exeter, Cheshire, Plymouth, Staffordshire, Kent, Middlesex, Birmingham, Man chester, Lancashire, Yorkshire , Derbyshire, Scotland, Ireland, &c. A jury will be formed, and the prizes distributed upon their awards on the plan of the Great Exhibition of Industry. Such being the general outline of this great undertaking, we think few will deny that it presents a fair chance of breaking up the whole system of petty provincial exhibitions, and establishing a plan freer from unfairness and heartburnings. We most heartily approve of it ; for, after some years of active experience in these matters, we can safely say that, with very few exceptions, we never knew an ordinary flower-show to pass off without dissatisfaction and grumbling to some parties. The Marquis of Westminster and Sir Philip and Lady Egerton take a lively interest in the matter ; and all the surrounding nobility and gentry support it. Sir P. Egerton will throw open Oulton Park and gardens to the visitors during the whole week, and his example will probably be followed by others. Free railway carriage will be granted to a certain extent for the specimens to be exhibited ; and a catalogue, with each article and exhibitor's name, &c., will be issued. We hope to see Liverpool take a prominent position in the show, such as, from her situation and means, she is so well entitled to. GATHERING FRUIT.—The chief merit of the gardener, in this respect [the management of ripe fruit], is the supplying of the table with them in the utmost perfection ; and the art of gathering, which is very little understood or thought of, is a very essential and material article. I have seen one common custom among gardeners, which is, to go out for fruit an hour before it is to be served at 'table; and this they think very meritorious, because it will be fresh. I have seen also a contrary practice, which I shall explain, together with its reasons; but first, in order to show its real use, this fact must be inserted. Two gentlemen, relations and neighbours, who had the same soil, and the same kind - of trees, and those, to all appearance, managed in the very same manner, found a vast difference always in the fruit ; it was so great, that their company never failed to perceive it as well as them selves ; and when it came at last to be explained, the whole cause was, that the gardener of him whose fruit was worst, gathered it just before it was wanted, and the other much earlier. This seems to contradict reason, freshness being esteemed the great article in the nicety of fruit ; but it is only a seeming contradiction. Let any one examine the state of plants in general in summer, and he will find it thus : as the great heat of the day comes on, their leaves begin to flag, and they droop more and more till the cool of the evening. The reason is, the great evaporation of their juices by the sun's heat : they grow flaccid from toward noon till near sunset, then the heat is over, and the dews refresh them : they continue recruiting and recovering during the whole night, and they are firm and lively in the morning. The case is the same in fruits, only it is not so easily perceived. At noon they are exhausted and flattened, and they are heated to the heart : all this renders them dead, and unpleasing. They begin to recruit towards the evening, as the leaves ; and in the same manner are in the full perfection at early morning. One hour after sunrise is the time for gather ing them : this was the secret of the successful gardener, and this every one Should practise. Let him take some fruit-baskets of open work, cover them with large leaves, and at seven in the morning go out to gather his fruit. When he has carefully chosen what is ripe, and laid it handsomely in the basket, let it be placed in a cool, but not damp room, till it is wanted.—Old Magazine. THE NIGHT BLOWING CEREUS.—There is in the gardens of Earl Paulett, Hinton Park, a magnificent specimen of the Cactus Grandiflora, commonly called the Night-blowing Cereus. the flower of which is said to be as grand and beautiful as any in the whole vegetable king dom. It is very rare to see more than three or four flowers of this plant in bloom at the same time, but the one now noticed presented sixteen at the same hour of the night; and what was most extraordinary, six others had bloomed in full splendour from the same plant two nixhts before. In July, last year, twenty-two had bloomed in the same night, though they were not so fine and large as those of this year. They began to open in the evening about seven oclock, were in perfection about ten to eleven, and faded away about sunrise, only continu ing in full-blown beauty about six hours. The calyx, when fully expanded, is a foot in diameter, of a splendid yellow within, and a dark brown without ; the petals are many and of a pure white ; and the great number of re curved stamina, surrounding the style in the centre of the flower, make a grand and magnificent appearance. GENERAL NEWS OF THE WEEK. RIOTING IN GREENOCK.- 1 A serious riot took place. in Greenock, on Monday night, between the Roman Catho lics and Protestants. Several persons were severely hurt, and windows were destroyed. — Scotsman. ACCIDENT BY FIRE IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—On Manday, when the mail train from Exeter had arrived about a mile and a half from the Bristol station it was discovered that one of the second class carriages had caught fire. The greatest consternation prevailed, but fortunately the train was stopped in sufficient time to prevent any serious consequence. The accident arose from the breakers of an iron wheel tier, caueing so unusual a friction as to ignite the woodwork. DREADFUL CASE OF INSANITY.—On Sunday last, a cottager, named James Bycrost, residing on the Swines head-road, was seized with fearful symptoms of this disease ; be inflicted much injury on parties who attempted to control him, until Mr. Pilmore was sent for, who con veyed him to Boston, whence he will doubtless be taken to the Asylum. He has been for some time a " local preacher," and religious fanaticism is believed to be the cause of his mental wreck.—Lincoln Chronicle. DARING ROBBERY AT THE MARQUESS OF CHOLMON DELEY'S.—On Friday morning information was received by the metroplitan police, that two thieves, disguised as butchers, had made their way into the residence of the Marquess of Cholmondeley, 17, Carlton-house-terrace, under the pretence of calling for orders. They were met in the lower passage by some of the servants ; their dress, however, and their having baskets with meat, disarmed suspicion, and they were not detained. The true charac ter was soon afterwards discovered—a large quantity of silver plate, value upwards of £lOO, being found missing. SINGULAR A CCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning as James Parfitt, one of the porters in the goods department of the Great Western Railway Company, at Paddington, was passing along the platform, on his ordinary duty, a small cask suddenly exploded, the head of which came in con tact with the poor fellow's chin, and tossed him some eight or ten feet into the air, when he fell upon the ground about three feet lower than the platform. Upon inquiry, we find the contents of the cask to have been yeast.which had been sent up the line. The motion of the train pro bably brought it to so high a state of fermentation as to cause the explosion. The poor feilow died in about a quarter of an hour. _ EXTRAORDINARY TNSTANCE OF CONJUGAL AFFECTION. --A short time since Mr. Gregg, an extensive and highly respectable tradesman, residing in High-street,Marybone, burst a blood-vessel, and from that period his health de clined until last week, when such fatal symptoms betrayed themselves that his medical attendant felt bound to inform Mrs. Gregg of her husband's imminent danger. The sad intelligence so affected her that she gave herself up to ex cessive grief, refusing not only consolation, but even food. On Sunda, Mr. Gregg died, and the following day saw his faithful wife stretched alongside his body a lifeless corpse—Mrs. Gregg having expired that morning, after a night of the most intense mental agony, produced by grief for her husband's death. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—A few days since the Rev. Mr. Barker, Rector of Medbourn. wishing to give his choir an opportunity of hearing the organ in Harborough Church, and of practising singing, went by the evening train to Harborough, accompanied by about fourteen of his parishioners, among whom was John Eddings, a gardener, about 7 , 1 years of age. Mr. Dixon, the organist, met them about half-way and Mr. Barker commenced introducing them to him, and had mentioned Edding's name, observing at the same time, " You're no singer, I believe," to which he answered, " I shall be the looker on to-night," when he immediately fell to the ground, and died almost instantly. He had never had a day's ill ness in his life. HARWICH.—The committee of enquiry into the recent Harwich election, came to a resolution that the mayor, the returning officer for the borough, had acted illegally in closing the poll before the hour of four o'clock, and also that there had been such obstruction which prevented a voter named White from recording his vete, and that therefore, in the opinion of the committee, the election was null and void, and Mr. Crawford, the sitting member, not duly elected. The borough will have, therefore, the benefit of a third election almost within the same number of months. The Essex Standard says :—Neither Mr. Prinsep nor Mr. Crawford intend, we hear, coming for ward again, so that the field is left open for new candi dates ; and at present we are not aware of any gentlemen being actually upon the ground. W. W. Hawkins, Esq., has been spoken of in the Conservative interest, but we believe he declines the honour. APPREHENSIONS, CONVICTIONS, &C., IN MANCHES TER, IN 1851.—During the last year, (according to Capt. Willis's annual report), 4,578 persons were taken into custody by the police, in the borough of Manchester. Dividing .the offences for which the apprehensions were made into the usual classes, the number of prisoners in each will be as follows :-Ist, offences against the person, 716 ; 2d, offences against property, committed with vio lence, 188; 3d, do. without violence • 1,499, 4th, mali cious offences against property, 143; sth, forgery and offences against the currency, 48 ; 6th, other offences not included in the above classes, 1,979. Of the total number (4,578) 3,280 were males, and 1,298 females. The prisoners were disposed of as follows :—Discharged by the magis trates, 1,780 ; summarily convicted, or held to bail, 2058 ; committed for trial, 740; sentenced and punished, 593 ; sentenced to plead when called upon, 1 ; acquitted, 105 ; bills not found, 17 ; not prosecuted, 7 ' not yet tried, 15 ; imprisoned, having been found insane, 2. CARDINAL WISEMAN.—The missing " Cardinal" ham turned up. " His Eminence" not being, it seems, quite prepared as yet to relinquish his archbishopric and his residence in Golden-square, has returned with intelligible speed from his unintelligible excursion. Whether he had the benefit of any medical treatment in the establishment at which, *is we are informed by a correspondent, he took up his abode at Caen, we are unable to say ; but we think it far from unlikely that a few sedative powders might have contributed towards the result of bringing the run away Cardinal to reason, and convincing him that if he would govern English counties, he must begin by con forming to the orders of the British legislature. The cautious manner in which he carried himself during his examination before the committee, on the law of mort main, on TI lir day, as one walking between red-hot ploughshares, seems to indicate that, in spite of the con tempt which he affects for British acts of parliament, he has a certain salutary fear of their practical effects. After all, this miles gloriosus of the Roman church did not exhibit before the committee, in honour of his faith, half as much pluck as Alderman Salomons displayed before the whole house for the glorification of his unbelief. — John Bull. WOTTON-UNDER-EDGE—SUSPECTED INCENDIARISM, AND ATTEMPT TO BURN AN AGED WOMAN IN HER BED. —Shortly after twelve o'clock on Tuesday night, two houses at Sinwelh in this town, were totally destroyed by fire. The only inmate of the house in which the fire oc curred was a female named Jordan, eighty years of age. For some years past. this poor woman has been driven, by the cruel and heartless treatment of her husband, Samuel Jordan, to provide herself with a separate residence. and during that period her upright demeanour has procured for her the approbation and assistance of many patties, which good feeling, to all appearance, has excited the bitter enmity of him who should have been her supporter and protector. Jordan and his son Edward, on Sunday night last, forcibly entered the house of the wife and mother, and dragged her out of her bed, and took the same away claiming it as their property. On proceedings being taken against the husband and son, for the outrage, they were compelled to return the bed, and only a few hours bad elapsed ere the house of the wife and mother was found enveloped in flames, and the poor woman but scarcely escaped with her life. An in vestigation has resulted in the committal to Gloucester gaol of the son, Edward Jordan, on the capital charge. and his father, Samuel Jordan, is among the nmerous witnesses for the protecntion., How TO PUT OUT VESUVIUS.—It is asserted that there is a project in contemplation to extinguish the fires of Ve suvius ! It is understood that the bottom of the grand crater is several thousand feet below the level of the sea. The plan, therefore, is to dig a large trench or canal from the sea to the crater, the expense of which will not exleed 2,000,000 dollars, and thus extinguish the fires which have been burning for thousands of years. It is said that the fine lands thus to be reclaimed will more than ten times pay the expense of executing the grand design. DUMBNESS PRODUCED BY A THUNDER STORM.—On the Ist of July, during the thunderstorm, a man named Raeburn, residing in the Croft, Paisley, was struck dumb. Raeburn, it appears, was standing near a window when one of the flashes of lightning, more vivid than usual,had such an effect on his organ of speech that he could not articulate a syllable. The advice of several medical men was oJtained, but all to no purpose ; and, what was strangest of all, no hurt or defect whatever could be ob served. Next day, Raeburn was advised to try what gal vanism could effect in his case ; and after the application for a few minutes of the battery to his neck, he was able to articulate one or two syllables : his joy at this, it may be imagined, was very great ; and we are happy to say, that after six applications from the galvanic apparatus, his speech has all but recovered its former fluency. Raeburn is about twenty-three years of age ; and all that he felt at the time he was struck dumb was a kind of giddy feeling for about a minute.—Glasgow Saturday Post. THREE SUICIDES AT BRIGHTON.—A respectable widow at Brighton committed suicide on Saturday by cutting her throat. Her husband, who died five years ago, left her in comfortable circumstances ; her children were all remark ably steady and well-conducted. No cause whatever could be surmised for so dreadful an act. On Monday James Wadey, aged 55, drowned himself, because his elder brother, who was 73, bad married a girl of 18, and had thus extinguished his hopes of succeeding to a trifling property. The third suicide was Thomas Whitwell, a stranger from Shoreham, who lodged on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights at a beer-shop in Gloucester-lane, Brighton, and on Monday evening was found hanging in an outhouse, quite dead. The evidence at the inquest showed no other cause for his evident insanity than the eating of opium. In his hat was a Prayer-book, on a blank page of which was written—" Whoever finds my body, I will thank them to convey this book to Jane Nye, 23, Marine-parade, Brighton. Give her my dying love." Jane Nye was a servant girl, whom he had known four months. THE IMPERIAL RUSSIAN YACHT PETERHOFF.—It may perhaps be recollected that this vessel, which was expressly built in London last year for the Emperor of Russia, was wrecked and supposed to have been totally lost on the rocks of the desert island of Oessel, while on her voyage outward to St. Petersburgh in October last ; that attempts were made to get her off by her captain and crew, and afterwards by the officers of the Russian government, without success. She was then abandoned and given over to the insurers, who paid £15,000 to the Russian govern ment as the price of her insurance. Hopes were still en tertained that she might be saved. Accordingly Captain Fell was sent to endeavour to save her ; and his efforts and energies have been rewarded by complete success. The vessel was lifted off from the rocks and sunk in deep water, to preserve her from the action of the waves ; and there she lay in a sandy bay immersed in water, and frozen in all the winter. On the return of spring she was raised, and conveyed by captain Fell to Riga, where she under went a partial repair ; and early in this month she left Riga, by means of steam and :sails ; reached Elsinore in forty hours on the 7th instant; aad Hamburgh on the 9th, between which places she encountered a heavy eale of wind, and made her passage by steam to Blackwell, a distance of near 500 miles, in 36 hours. She is now safely moored in the East India Docks. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. —The show, held this year by the kind permission of her Majesty in the Home Park, immediately under the north front of Windsor Castle, was inaugurated on Monday by a visit from the Queen and Prince, who were conducted by the Duke of Richmond (President of the Society), and Messrs. Barker and Gibbs (the stewards of the yard) over the show. The royal party inspected the stock, turning to the right from the entrance of the south side of the yard, and taking the different classes in their order, and gave a minute attention to each. They more than once turned hack to examine particular animals; and, on one occasion, as a monster porker rose from his recumbent position, the Queen's attention was caught at once : " she bounded forward to examine him, and laughed heartily at his extra ordinary obesity." When the royal party returned to the castle, the people formed in a line and welcomed her Majesty with every demonstration of cordiality and respect. The Queen, who looked in excellent health and spirits, showed great animation, "laughing and chat ting with those around her." A characteristic anecdote of royal kindness is related :—" The condescension of her Majesty as she went through the showyard greatly won upon the hearts of the poor fellows who are in attendance upon the animals, who are loud in her praise. One in stance of her attention to their feelings may be mentioned, as it has evidently made a great impression upon the men in the showyard. On Sunday afternoon, as the band was playing in front of the Castle, the shepherds, herdsmen, and others in care of the stock, strolled up to the Castle gates, and attempted to enter, but as they were arrayed in their smockfrocks, and evidently belonged to a class not usually seen about the Castle, they were refused ad mission by the soldiers on guard. The circumstance becoming known to Mr. Stokes, one of the stewards of the show, who happened at the time to be in the Castle, through whom her Me iesty was made aware of the circum stance, when she instantly gave orders that they should be admitted up to the Castle, a privilege of which the rustics at once availed themselves. In the course of their pro ceeding through the showyard the Duke of Richmond thanked the Queen in their name for the:erivilege she bad accorded them." The show of cattle, &c., numbering 1,200 entries, is said to be superior to any former exhibi tion in the three departments of cattle, sheep, pigs, and in the class of horses only yields to that which was held some three years ago at York. On Wednesday, (the third day of the meeting,) an immense concourse of people, native and foreign, flocked to the show. On no former occasion has anything like it been seen. All the principal prizes were in a permanent state of siege, and it was only after much pushing and squeezing that even a glimpse of them could be obtained. The day had been fixed upon as that for the grand pavilion dinner, and at three o'clock it was curious to observe how those who had provided themselves with tickets emerged from the show yard and gradually took up fieir places at the entertain ment. In the short space of an hour about 2,000 guests had assembled, who waited anxiously for the arrival of the more distinguished personages. At last they came, headed by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, when cheers arose from hundreds of powerful lungs, and hands were clapped with a vehemence and force quite astounding. At length the great assembly settled down to the business of eating and drinking, and for a time nothing could be heard but the clatter of plates, the grinding sound of knives and forks and the mastication of jaws, carried on with the energy of rustic appetites. His Grace the Duke of Richmond presided, and in the absence of Earl Ducie, who was kept away by indisposition, Lord Portman acted as Vice-President. The Prince, who was received with unanimous enthusiasm.said—" My Lord Duke—My lords and gentlemen,— I am very sensible of the honour which you have done me in proposing my health, and I can as sure you, gentlemen, that the kind way in which you have responded to the toast will never be forgotten by me. Some years have already elapsed since I last dined with you in this migratory prvilion ; and I am glad you should have pitched it this day under the walls of Windsor Castle, and that I should myself have an opportunity of bidding you a hearty welcome to the Home-park. Your encamp ment singularly contrasts with that which the barons of England, the feudal lords of the land, with their retainers, erected round Windsor Castle, on a similar mead, though not exactly in the same locality. They came then clad in steel, with lance and war-horse. You appear in a more peaceful attire, and the animals you bring with you to the meeting are the tokens of your successful cultivation of the arts of peace. King John came trembling amongst his subjects unwillingly compelled to sign that great char ter which has ever since been your birthright. (Great cheerine.) Your sovereign came confiding among her loyal and loving people ; she came to admire the results of their industry, and to encourage them to persevere in their exertions ; and the gratification which the Queen has felt at the sight of your splendid collection must, I am sure, be participated in by all who examine it. I am doubly pleased at this success, not only because it is witnessed by the many visitors from foreign lands now within our shores, whom every Englishman must wish to inspire with respect for British agriculture, but because I feel, to a certain degree, personally responsible for having deprived you of one, generally most interesting feature of your show-1 mean the field fruits, and the agricultural ma chines and implements. Though separated from your collection, they are seen to great advantage in another royal park ; and you will have been glad to hear that what ever the difficulty may be in deciding upon the superiority of the works of industry and art sent to the Crystal Palace by the different nations of the earth, the British agricul tural implements are acknowledged to stand there almost without a rival. Let me now use the privilege which your president has allowed me to enjoy, in proposing to you as a toast, ' Prosperity to the Royal Agricultural Society.' To its exhibitions, the means of comparison which they have afforded, and the emulation they have stimulated, we owe to a great extent the progress which British agri culture has made of late. To this society belongs the honour to have been one of the first to appreciate the value of such exhibitions, and to have, from the beginning, liberally and fearlessly admitted ali competitors without restriction. I drink Prosperity to the Royal Agricultural Society.' " His Royal Highness resumed his seat amidst loud applause. The " Health of the Foreign Ministers" was responded to by M. Van de Weyer, the Belgian Minister, who proposed the " Health of the Duke of Richmond." The convivial proceedings also elicited speeches also from Mr. Lawrence, .the Ameri canahni bdi t e ll ,odltihneisr, commendedts e . r , L Amongst ord s A h o s r h t b -t h u h r oo t rs o en n s , n aw M me r en . do D t ac e s : i: hi o ar n v. , Rn Ik c l h ea P xr d Charles Lowndes, of Rice-house, Club Moor, Liverpool, a four years and one month old short-horned bull, bred by himself; Mr. Charles Towneley, of Townley-park, near Burnley, Lancaster, a two years and ten months old short-horned bull, bred by Mr. Richard Eastwood, of Swinshow, near Burnley ; also a one year and nine months old short-horned bull, bred by himself, and a two years and four months old pure short-horn in-calf heifer, bred by Sir Charles Tempest, Bart., of Broughton-hall, near Yorkshire.
