AN ANCIENT ROSE TREK

While very old oaks, yews, and chestnuts have each
found their 'Lvates" to embalm their memories in the
pages of history, there is an humbler member of the
vegetable kingdo o which has not, sofa, as I knew,
found a pleoe in English botanical record& I allude to
an exceedingly ancient rose tree at If adesheim, in
Hanover, which is 'till flourishing (as • Mend of mine,
who has lately seen it tells me), •ith all the vigour of
youth. This remarkable tree, or rather climber (for it
is supported Limiest the wall of a church) was in
existence when Christianity itself was little more than
a thousand years aid; and, if we may believe tradition,
had even then been bloonving for well-nigh 900 summers!
But I will glee its history on the word of the well-
known botanist, Herr Leunis, himself • reddest at
Hildeehelm. 'The oldest known ruse tree in the world is
one at present growing against the wall ofthecathedral of
this town ( • ildeshani) remarkable alike for its extreme
age, and for the scanty nourishment with which it has
supported albeit for so many centuries. It varies Mot
slightly from the common dog-mee ( R &mime) : the
leaves are rather more ovate, the podia& and lower
leaf surfaces more hairy, the fruit smaller end more
globular. The stem is two inches thick at Its jurietion
with the root, and the whole plant oovera some 24 feet
714470 f the wall. Bishop Hilo, who flourished
079, took special interest in thia rose as being a
remarkable monument of the past • and when the
cathedral was rebuilt, after being burnt down in 1061,
ce he had it on more trained against the portion of the
wall which had been spared by the Ere. Tradition
states that, in the year of grace 614, the Emperor
Ludwig the Pious, so:. of Charlemagne, was staying
with him court at Mr Being desirous of hunting to
the huge forest where now stands Hildesheink, mos was
said by the Imperial Chaplain at the plane of rendez-
vous. By some mishap, when the marries was con-
cluded and the party *opened, the vessel containing
the sacred elements was left behind. On returning to
the spot the folkoring day, great was the surprise of
the chaplain to And the holy vessel overshadowed by
the tender birs:Achlets of a lovely rom, which had sprung
up in the 041tli, which bad now filled the air with the
perfume Of its Bolton. The Emperor shortly after
'Mew: and by his rommand a chapel was built, with
the sitar standby; on the spot occupied by the mote of
rose,- that very rose which is now blooming as
freshly as though a smile decade, and not • thousand
years, had passed over its head .." So far
tradition. Certain it is that the roots of the
existing rose-tree are buried under the altar of the
cathedral, sad, consequently, are inside the building,
the stem being carried through the wall to the outer
sir by • perforation made expressly for it. My
informant tells me that the plant is held in the highest
veneration by the inhAbitonts, and that no one is
permitted to gather the Sower. or break the branches.

BLINDNEI3B IN THE CHURCH.

In the Church of Rome total blindness is oast of
those irregularities which, by moon laws, incapacitate
for the prissily office ; no priest of that Church has
ever been ordetned when labouring under the deprive-
lion of sight. It is somewhat singular, hovreeet, that by
• canon law a man cannot be admitted to orders if be
does not see with his left eye, while blindests of the
right eye may be overlooked. The muse of thi. distinc-
tion is, that the left eye is the more necessary of the
twe in the celebration of mass. It is the same in the
Church of England; the loss of the omionical—t.r., the
left—eye would be sufficient to exclude from orders,
though total or partial blindness after ordination
would not disqualify for the discharge of clerical
duty. It is different in the Church of Scotland, which
admits no distinction between the eye canonical and
the eye non-canonical, and bid, defiance to the scriptural
warning by licensing he blind to become leaders of the
blind. This peeudo-liberalism strikes us as being little
else than • species of refined cruelty; several blind
men have been licensed to preach, but no congregation
is Scotland has ever ventured to give any one of them
a cal.—inures Aftwavise for July.

money for lodgings, which she knew would be wanted
,to mike up the not. Not being In a position to pay,

walked about the hone willsout talking to her aunt,
save to ask, "What about the rent?" and the stint
told her she had got to pay the collector for the Earl of

MAIDEN NEWTON.

Tel GAS Surrir.—A meeting of the committee took
plate =Tuesday evening in the sohool-room, when thp
following gentlemen were present Bendel],
Esq. (chairman), Rev F. T. Salmon, Rev. G. R. Mall,
Messrs. Swatridge, Peckham, Stickling, Hood, and
Brown. A good deal of discussion took place as to the
desirability of carrying gas to Frampton and Cattistock,
and the general opinion seemed to be that, unless a
considerable number of shares were taken in those
villages, it would not be practicable to do more than
establish small works, suitable to Maiden Newton only.
About half the shares requisite for the latter purpose
were agreed to be taken among the committee, who we
hope will soon be able to complete the list.

FRIDAX, MAY 21.—The quantity of English wheat on
sale in to-day's market, coastwise and by land carriage,
was very limited, but the general quality of the samples
was good. Selected parcels were in fair request, and
Monday's prices were well supported. In other kinds,
only a moderate business was doing, at late rates. The
imports of foreign wheat are 5,930 quarters. In most
kinds, the transactions were on a very moderate scale,
at Mondays currency. Floating cargoes of grain off the
coast were firm in price. Fine barley was scarce, and
in steady request, at full prices. Grinding and dia.
tillin3 sorts ruled dull. 20,000 quarters of foreign have
arrived. We bad 11 dull trade for malt, and late rates
were barely supported. Oats were steady, at full quo-
tations. Beans, peas, and Boar supported Monday's
currency.

AUSTRIA.

In the course of this week some very important
matters are likely to be &itemised here. His Majesty's
Ministers and a certain number of members of the
Council of the Empire will meet, and endeavour to put
the finishing touch to the constitutions for the provinces
and the municipal laws. Some changes will probably be
made in the antiquated guild and corporation system.
In the usuary patent there will be no alteration, and
five per cent, will remain the legal rate of interest for all
capital advanced on real property. During the next
month the betrothal of the two sisters of the reigning
Empress will take place at Possenhofen, in Bavaria.

SWEDEN AND NORWAY.

The Prince Regent opened the eession of the Nor-
wegian Storthing, at Christiana, on the 14th inst. His
Royal Highness commenced by an allusion to the dis-
asters caused by the commercial oriole of last year, and
from which Norway had not escaped. The probability,
continued the prince, that the treasury, the receipta of
which are chiefly the produce of indirect taxes, will not
be able in due time to meet the expenses enumerated in
the budget, and the necessity of adopting certain ex-
traordinary mounres to succour those branches of in-
dustry which are suffering. have inspired his Majesty
with the wish of executing such measures, with the
concert of the elect of the nation, as will be proper to
satisfy the wants of the moment. In conolusion, the
Prince Regent announced to the Storthing that no
favourable change had taken place in the state of health
of his august father the King.

THE WEST INDIES.

Yellow fever still rages at St. Thomas's. Nearly all
the mail packets are more are leas unhealthy. One of
the men who died of fever on board the Parana had
been acclimatized in the West Indies. The Royal Mail
Company have had their coaling wharf removed to the
entrance of the harbour, and the first time the colliers
went alongside it eight of the crew died of yellow
fever. The'harbour of St. Thomas's has a narrow
entrance, it is not affected by the tide or sea breeze. A
number of ships aro always there, and a great deal of
refuse from them is thrown into it. The sewage of the
town also is emptied into the harbour. When a paddle-
wheel stirs the water there a stench arises. The floats
of the paddlewheels of steamers also which are painted
red become black after being sonic time immersed in the
water of the harbour. There were 17 cases of fever on
board the Ptrana. A large number of fever patients
were in the hospital of St. Thomas's.

WOOL MARKET.

We have no actual change to notice in the value of
any kind of English wool. Cood and fine qualities have
been in somewhat improved request since our last
report, but to force sales of other kinds lower rates must
be sninnitted to, owing to the unusually small number
of orders on the market from the continent.
