IMPROVEMENT IN PIANO-FORTES.
JEDGAR begs to inform the Merchants, Captains,
and Parties purchasing PIANO-FORTES, that he has in-
troduced a new IRON BACK to the Piano-forte, forming a perfect
counteraction to the pull of the Strings, (that being from four to
six tons.) By these Improvements the Cottage Piano-fortes will
keep much longer in Tune, which will be a great saving to Parties
living in country places, where good Tuners are not to be procured.
The Prices of these Piano-fortes are very moderate.

VARIETIES.

A NOISELESS BARK.—The bark of a tree.
" PATRICK, where is Bridget ?" " Indade, ma'am,
she's fast asleep lookin' at the bread bakin."
A LEGAL QUERY.—Does a landlord give up his
right to a house entirely when he re-leases it ?
WHEN any calamity has been suffered, the first
thing to be remembered is, how much has been escaped.
WHEN the heart is out of tune, the tongue seldom
goes right.
LOVE can excuse anything but meanness ; but
meanness kills love, and cripples even natural affec-
tion ; without esteem, true love cannot exist.
POVERTY isolates. No crowd gathers round him
who has nothing to give, and it is much worse for him
if his indigence does not covert the world into a desert.
A CANDIDATE FOB IVlATiamoxy.—A farmer down
west, in announcing his willingness to take a wife,
declares that as he is himself in clover he has no
objection to take a lady in weeds.
THE TRUE NOBILITY. Philip of Spain, asked
Jeannin, a plebeian ambassador of Henry IV., " Are
you a gentleman ?" " Yes," he replied, "if Adam
was one." " But whose son are you ?" " The son of
my own virtues."
A GENTLEMAN was called upon to apologise for
words uttered in wine. " I beg pardon," said he, "I
did not mean to say what I did, but I have had the
misfortune to lose some of my front teeth, and words
get out every now and then without my knowledge.
HUMAN NATURE.—" I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson, to see
this splendid field of potatoes so seriously diseased,"
said a sympathising inspector. " Atweel, it's a great
pity," replied the farmer, " but there's a'e comfort—
Jock Tamson's is not a bit better !"
MAGNANIMITY.—PIeasant enough was the magna-
nimity of the person who, being reproached with not
having revenged himself of a caning he had received,
exclaimed, " Sir, I never meddle with what passes
behind my back I"
WRINKLEs.---It is said to have been satisfactorily
demonstrated that every time a wife scolds her hus-
band she adds a wrinkle to her face ! It is thought
that the announcement of this fact will have a most
satisfactory effect, especially as it is understood that
every time a wife smiles on her husband it will
remove one of the old wrinkles.
WHAT'S that F" asked Mrs. Partington, looking up
at the column on the Place Vendome, during her late
visit to Paris. " The pillar of Napoleon," was the
answer. " Well, I never did !" she exclaimed, "and
that's his pillow ! he was a great man, to use that ;
but it s more like a bolster. And it s made of iron, I
do believe. Ah, Isaac ! see what it is to be great !
how hard his head must have rested on that ironical
pillow

scarce animals, but monkeys of many species are to be

Territory). It is pleasing to behold their extraordinary

with a union jack and a tricolour, surmounted with crowns of
laurel. The chandeliers, as usual, were much admired.
At the time abo ;'e mentioned, the Duke made his appearance,
wearing the ribbon and star of the garter, and also his Crimean
medal. He was attended by the Earl of Derby, Lord Stanley,
Lord Chesterfield, Lord Colville, the Countess of Derby, Lady
Emma Stanley, Mr. T. B. Horsfall, M.P., the Mayor, Mrs.
Tobin, and several other fashion till
The audience rose and
cheered the duke most heartily till he was seated in his and
place on the dais at the end of the hall.
Besides those named above, there were alsopresent Sir Harry
Smith, G.C.8., and the Misses Smith, W. Brown, Esq., M.P.,
and Mrs. Brown, J. Bramley-Moore, WilliamM, Charles
Turner, Esq., John Buck Lloyd, Esq., Earle, Esq.,
&c., &C.
Immediately on his Royal Highness and the distinguished
party by which he was accompanied having taken their places,
Mr. Best struck the first bar of " God Save the Queen," when
the whole audience rose, and Madame Clara Nov ello sang the
solo portion of the noble anthem, the choruses being taken up
and sung by the choir. At the conclusion of the national
anthem, Partant pour la Syne" was given in fine style. The
concert was a miscellaneous one, consisting of selections from
the compositions of Bellini, S. Bach, Mendelssohn, Beethoven,
and other favourite composers ; it also included several organ
performances by Mr. Best, the corporation organist, and the
whole was appropriately concluded with the noble song of
triumph, " Rule Britannia." His Royal Highness remained
till the conclusion of the concert.
After the concert had terminated, his Royal Highness and
his distinguished friends drove off for Knowsley, where they
arrived in safety. In this hospitable and stately mansion the
Earl and Countess of Derby gave a grand dinner party on
Thursday, at which were present, in addition to his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge and the other distinguished
visitors, and the Knowsley family circle, James Aspinall
Tobin, Esq., the Mayor of Liverpool, Wm. Brown, Esq.,
M.P., Thomas Berry Horsfall, Esq., M.P., J. Bramley-Moore,
Esq., M.P., &c., &c.
THE SECOND EVERTON BONFIRE.—On Wednesday even-
ing, a large bonfire was kindled in a field near St. George's,
Everton, where, amidst considerable fun and excitement, an
effigy of the late Emperor Nicholas was consumed, accom-
panied by the firing of guns and pistols, and the strains of a
band. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood contributed the
means, and the bonfire, from the great elevation on which it
was placed, illuminated the surrounding country for a consi-
derable distance.

HORTICULTURE.

FLOWER GARDEN. —Unless where alterations are in
hand the principal work in this department for the
present will be mowing and clearing IT of leaves, &c. ;
and if anything like neatness is to be maintained, this
will require daily attention : also see to getting gravel
walks thoroughly cleared of weeds and moss, &c., and
roll them frequently when wet, to keep the surface
hard and smooth. Continue to afford young stock in
pits and frames the most careful attention, and en-
deavour to get it well rooted and strong without keep-
ing so close or warm as to render it sappy and liable to
fog and damp off on the first approach of winterly
weather, as is the case with stock got up in heat late
in autumn, and then stored away in cold pits for the
winter. Therefore admit air freely to all plants that
are sufficiently rooted to bear it without flagging.
Newly potted-off things should, however, be placed
on a gentle bottom heat, which will impart a little
warmth to the soil and encourage the formation of
roots, but sufficient air should be given to prevent any-
thing like weakly growth. Cuttings of calceolarias,
scarlet geraniums, &c., may still be put in where the
stock is deficient. Scarlet geraniums will root almost
anywhere, but calceolarias are not 'quite so accommo-
dating, as cuttings taken from plants in the open
ground are very liable to damp off in heat ; these will
be found to do very well, however, in a close pit or
frame where there is the means of applying a little
warmth when necessary to dispel damp. See to secur-
ing as many cuttings as possible pf any scarce plants
which it may be desirable to incr&se while there is a
fair chance of rooting them, and also be prepared to
protect scarlet geraniums and other thing's v)hich it
may be intended to take up and winter.
FRUIT.--Look over fruit remaining out of doors
frequently, and gather it as it becomes fit, as if left to
get over ripe it will be liable to be blown down and
bruised should high winds occur ; also examine that
stored in the fruit room frequently, as there will occa-
sionally be a few decaying fruit found for a few weeks
after housing, and these should be removed as soon as
they can be perceived. Keep the fruit room cool and
airy, in order to allow of the escape of the moisture
given off by the fruit, which is considerable for a few

OPENING. OE THE: RAILWAY PRox Krstrowzowis To
ilALirwv.—The officer appointed by the Board. of Trade for
the purpose having inspected this line, on the 9th inst., and
given the necessary certificate, it was opened for public
traffic on Thursday, pursuant to announcement,
To GUEA.T. AN,NITAL CATTLE FAIR AT;.: BALLINAsLOE
finished on Monday, last week. It was one of the largest for
years; and, though prices were expected to ha very high, the
advance on last year's was but slight. The . fair opened in a
fog, and sellers, not knowing the large- number of cattle
present, asked, higher rates. When the fog cleared, say the
accounts, and revealed the extent of the fair, prices fell, and
au immense amount of business was transacted. The sheep
sold were, 81.,480 (last year, 78,421) ; cattle,. 20,204 (last year,
17,483). The quality of the animals. showed a visible im.
provement in breeding.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—An extensive English horse-
dealer, who had been purchasing at the Ballinasloe fair,
incurred a fearftil accident on returning by rail with his stud..
Some red cinders from the engine were drifted into the horse..
box and set in flames the straw on which the horses were.
standing.' Maddened by the heat and flames, the animals
became furious, and, with the hope of extricating them, the
owner leaped
.into the blazing, box, but had scarcely alighted
when he received a fearful kick on his thigh, that severely
fractured the bone. Upon his arrival in town, Mr. Butcher,
the eminent surgeon, was Called to attend, and we believe the
man is now recovering.

ATTEMPT AT MIIRDEK.—A daring outrage was porpetrated
on an Irish Teaper, by one of his own countryman, on Satur-
day, in a plantation between Kimmerstone and Fenton, a few
miles north of Woolen The two men had been harvesting to-
gether in that neighbourhood, and it is supposed that the
dreadful act was committed with the intent to obtain the
wages of his companion. The injured man lies in a dangerous
state at Kimmerstone, the ruffian having indicted a fearful gash
with a knife, reaching from the back part of the neck to the
windpipe, which is also penetrated ; he has also received deep
cuts in the hands, in endeavouring to ward off his assailant,
The culprit was captured at Berwick.

ROYAL MAIL STEAM-PACKET COMPANY--A general meet-
ing of this company was held on Thursday, at the London
London Tavern, Captain Shepherd in the chair. The report
stated that there had been a diminution in the ordinary traffic
of the company, with the exception of passage money, and in
the transport service, where a considerable increase had taken
place. A dividend of £2 per share was recommended. The
receipts from the Ist of January to the 30th of June were
£556,653 14s. 2d., and the expenditure £280,073 17s. Bd., leav-
ing a surplus of £276,579 16s. 6d. The balance to the credit
of the insurance account was £175,438 Os. 11d. The report
was adopted after some discussion, arising through an amend-
ment for dividing a bonus of in addition to the proposed
dividend.

posed to be ambulances, including all those in the line of our
fire, have been removed. Since the 22nd inst., the large camps
beyond Inkerman have also become considerably lessened in
extent. On the day previous, a small body of French troops
left for Eunatoria. The occasion was taken advantage of to
send also a number of British vessels in the same direction,
and as the sailors on deck were for the time converted into
marines as far as dress was concerned, the Russian scouts
evidently took for granted that a combined force was being
despatched for the purpose of carrying on some active hostili-
ties in that direction. The next day a large force was ob-
served to leave the north camp, and a body of troops was also
seen by some of our ships to be marching in a northerly direc-
tion along the coast. False alarms of this nature must tend
greatly to harass the enemy. It was generally imagined in
the camps that this ruse was intended to disguise some pro-
jected movement towards the Mackenzie heights, but no ope-
ration of the kind took place.

AGRIOU LTURE.

SMUT IN WHEAT.—Our attention was first drawn
to the cause of smut in wheat, arising from thick sow-
ing, three years ago. A neighbouring farmer per-
mitted us to thin a rod of his wheat by way of experi-
ment, in the month of March, which was sown at 21
bushels per acre. Three-fourths were taken out, but
it did not answer the purpose for which we intended
it, viz., it did not branch satisfactorily, as some have
from similar proceedings when performed early in au-
tumn. It did not tiller more than the rest, but was
prominent for its dwarfness throughout the summer,
and did not lodge as the other, nor hasten to ripen by
a week or fortnight. It taught us one other important
lesson, however, which we have not forgotten, and
now desire to make known—that not one smutty ear
could be detected in the whole group, whilst on the
main breadth, at least 20 black ones might have been
gathered at any part, without moving a foot. The
variety was rough, chaffed white, which appears more
subject to smut than any other.—Hardy and Son.
YOKING OxEN.—A correspondent of the Exeter
Gazette says :—ln the general remarks upon conti-
nental farming, published by Mr. Peter Love, in the
35th number of the Journal of the Royal Agricultural
Society, page 149, I met with the following remarks,
which I send to you with the hope that they may in-
duce some unprejudiced agriculturist to make a trial of
the mode here recommended. I was struck with the
mode of yoking cattle here, viz., a board about six
inches wide and two and a-half feet long, tapering to
both ends, where there are hooks similar to those used
on -the ends of our swingle trees (2 whippers). This
board has padding under it, and is hung to the horns
by two straps, whi
ch suspend it across the forehead
just below the horns. The traces are attached to the
hook at the end of each pushing board. Thus the

RAW MAT3RIALS.

AMONG the most important benefits derived
from these exhibitions must be included the atten-
tion which is concentrated thereby upon raw
materials, and upon fresh sources of supply for
those already in use,, and which are not to be
obtained in sufficient cpantity. The surplus
labour and capital of the world are useless, and
even dangerous, unless profitable employment is
provided for them ; and that employment can only
be secured by judicious selections from those stores
of undeveloped wealth with which the mineral,
the , vegetable, and the animal kingdoms abound.

cotton, the West Riding of Yorkshire for larger

leaving the river. Thy contest on shore raged with great
fierceness, and for seunt days a war of extermination conti-
nued. The traders seat message on shore under a flag of
truce, asking the meaning. of the stoppage of trade. They
were told in reply that the chiefs who had taken refuge with
the traders were accused of" poisoning the late King Dappo,
and until those men were given; up, trade would not be re-
stored. A meeting was held, and it was determined to send
down to Fernando Po and bring the chiefs back, as, from the
state of the people, and the preparations they were making, it
was impossible to say what result would follow. In the mean-
time the ships were moored beyond gun-shot range. During
the contest the ex-king's party succeeded in keeping at bay
for three days the entire strength of Bonny, and at last blew
themselves up, killing between 400 and 600, only five of the
people escaping uninjured. The natives have destroyed the
Court-house, and committed several other depredations. No
collision has yet taken place between the English and natives.
Her Majesty's ship Philomel had, however, proceeded to the
scene of the disturbance. The sickness was on the decrease
