LIVERPOOL BOROUGH BOUNDARIES.

THE usual notice has been given of the intention
of the Corporation of Liverpool to apply to Parlia-
ment, in the next session, for an Act to carry into
effect the proposed enlargement of the boundaries of
the borough. The details may, of course, be subject
to various modifications before receiving legislative
sanction, but the proposal goes to the full extent
suggested, and, should it be realised, will render
Liverpool one of the most spacious municipal areas in
the United Kingdom, comprising both sides of the
estuary of the Mersey, and including a population of
more than half a million.

The Bill proposes to include within the boundaries of
Liverpool the whole, or certain portions of the several
parishes or townships of Bootle, Bootle-cum-Linacre,
Litherland, Sefton, Orre], Orrel-with-Ford, Walton,
Walton-on-the-Hill, Fazakerly, West Derby, Child-
wall, Wavertree, Allerton, Garston, and Toxteth-park,
all in the county of Lancaster ; and Birkenhead,
Claughton, Claughton-cum-Grange, Oxton, Poulton,
Poulton-cum-Seacombe, Liscard, and Wallasey, in the
county of Chester ; so that the whole of this vast
area, extending from Garston to Bootle Bay, on the
right bank of the Mersey, and from Monk's Ferry to
New Brighton, on the Cheshire side, will become a
portion of the Borough of Liverpool, its public works
under the management of the Corporation, and its
interests represented in the Council Chamber, by
Aldermen and Town Councillors returned from the
several wards into which it will be divided.

The bill also proposes to empower the Corporation
to purchase the works belonging to the Birkenhead
and Claughton Gas and Water Company, so as to
place the supply of these important necessaries under
efficient management.
The notice which has been given is of course but a
preliminary step, in order to comply with the standing
orders of Parliament ; but the details will require
much careful consideration not only by the members
of the Corporation but by the inhabitants of those
places immediately interested, whose consent to the
terms must be obtained before the Bill can receive
legislative sanction. The most important feature of
the measure is that which relates to the amalgamation
of Birkenhead with Liverpool ; and this will, most
probably, be the least difficult of adjustment, inasmuch
as so little difference exists in the present average of
local rates. It will be by far the most valuable acqui-
sition to Liverpool, rendered more important by the
purchase of the Birkenhead Docks ; and it is to be
hoped that no petty differences on minor details will be
allowed to 'interfere with the arrangement.

OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.

Lord Panmure has received the following telegraphic dis-
patch from General Sir William Codrington, dated Nov. 16 :
" A very heavy explosion of a store of powder at the French
siege train took place about three, p.m., yesterday. It com-
municated fire to our siege train close to it, where there was
no powder, but some naval live shells, most of which were
removed ; and the loss of life and the damage done is consider-
able. The great explosion threw shells over the camp of our
siege train, the huts of the Ist Brigade being entirely
damaged, but not by fire. All officers and men were on the
spot at once, and worked with good will and energy, and I saw
all safe when I quitted at seven, p.m.
" KlLLED.—Deputy-Assistant Commissary Yellow, R.A.,
and twenty-one non-commissioned officers and men.

" WOUNDED.—Lieut. Dawson, R.A., lost his leg below the
knee ; Lieut. Roberts, dangerously wounded in the arm
Lieut. Eccles, and Assistant-Surgeon Reede, Second Battalion
Rifle Brigade, slightly; 116 non-commissioned officers and
men, of whom 47 were slightly.
" MISSING.—Four rank and file."

The Paris Moniteur of to-day contains Gen. Pelissier's des-
patch, dated the 16th, at 6 p.m., announcing the partial destruc.
tion of the park of artillery. The Marshal adds, that the cause
of the first explosion is not known ; and that the stores are so
inconsiderable, that the resources of the army are not in the
slightest degree affected.

PRODUCE.—The excitement prgvailing in the Sugar-
market during the last fortnight continued unabated
up to the early part of the week ; since then the mar-
ket has become quiet, and purchases can now be made
on lower terms. The transactions are large, and com-
prise 500 hhds. 8.P., 8500 bags Bengal, 9550 mats
Mauritius, 1500 bags Brazil, 80 cases Havana, all on
the spot; besides 1,100 bags Bengal, 2,000 bags Per-
nams, to arrive, and 100 casks, 7,240 bags from France.
For Coffee a brisk demand, and prices have advanced
2s. per cwt. ' In Rice an extensive business has been
done at 9d. to ls. per cwt. higher prices. Rum in great
demand, at a further advance of 2d. to 3d. per gallon.
In Palm Oil large transactions continue to take place;
the sales during the week amount to 1,300 tons on the
spot at £4B to £5l, and 3,500 tons to arrive at £47
to £5O 10s. per ton. Tallow has further advanced,

Petersburg Y.C. having been sold as high as 755., but
on Friday there were sellers at 745.; some small lots
of South American brought 745. 6d. to 755. per cwt.
25 tons Cocoa-Nut Oil are reported at 525. to 545.,
' and MO tons Lard at 665. to 675. per cwt. There is
a dearer market for Jute, closing prices establishing
an advance of 20s. per ton. TO-DAY, we are still
without any transactions to notice in Sugar or
Molasses, and the market remains in the same un-
settled state. There is a fair inquiry for Rum, but
not much disposition to purchase at the late extreme-
rates ; 400 pipes Havana, in dock, have however been
sold, but the price has not transpired. The sales in
Coffee are confined to 50 bags Rio at 50s. per cwt.
The Tea-market continues steady ; in prices of com-
mon Congou there is no alteration.- 8,000 bags Arra-
can Rice were taken on Saturday, at 13s. 6d. per cwt.,
but nothing has been done to-day. 400 tons Bengal
Rapeseed, to arrive, have been sold at 68s. 6d. to 695.
per qr. delivered. We have also to notice 150 cases
Castor Oil at 7d. per lb. for low seconds, and 30 tons
Ceara Fustic at £6los. per ton.
WooL.---During the past week the Wool market
has been almost inactive, manufacturers and staplers
thinking that the pride of Wool must be lower, hold
back as long as possible from purchasing more than
will satisfy immediate wants. On Friday about 600
bales East India, damaged by sea water, were sold,
and brought fair prices. Stocks remain very light.
The imports for the week are, 1,687 bales East India,
187 Mediterranean, 116 Portugal, 10 Irish, and 3
coastwise, total, 2,003 bales.

HaI?TICULTU.RE.

FLOWER GARDEN.—The few flowers that may re-
main on the bedding' out plants in even the most
favoured localities are not worth preserving any
longer, and the beds should be cleared at once so as
to allow of getting them nicely trimmed up for the
winter. Where the extent of ground occupied by
" bedding out plants" in summer is considerable, it is
not always convenient to find spring flowering bulbs
to plant the whole of it with ; and where this is the
case, very much maybe done towards producing a cheer-
ful effect by a judicious use of small evergreens of a
formal or neat habit of growth. These can be pre-
pared in the reserve garden, to which' they must of
course be removed every summer, and as they have to
be shifted twice every season, they require no particu-
lar trouble- to remove them with perfect safety; and
beyond the labour of moving them to and from the
flower garden, and a few waterings after their spring
shift, they involve but little labour or expense. For
this purpose we prefer those that are perfectly hardy,
and of a formal habit of growth, or can be readily
cut into any desired form, such, for instance, as arbor-
vitm, cypresses, junipers, yews, tree box, &c., and
lauristinus and the old mezereon,' and some other
Daphnes for their flowers. The winter-flowerint,
heaths are also very suitable, as are many other plants
which might be mentioned ; but we have indicated
the kind of selection which we think the best adapted
for the purpose. We do not, however, mean to re-
commend planting the beds closely in winter with
such things, for this would require a very heavy
stock, and involve a serious amount of labour, and all
would produce no very striking result. These should
be planted so as to- mark in the most distinct manner
the outline of the garden and principal figures. The
beds can be much more cheaply planted, and to better
purpose, with such things as the early-blooming
phloxes, anemones, tulips, crocuses, snowdrops, scillas,
gentians, and many other spring-blooming plants,
which are familiar enough to every gardener. These
involve no expense, after a sufficient stock of them has
been obtained, beyond the labour necessary to remove
them to and from the flower garden, and to keep the
ground cleaned in summer about such of them as re:
quire a place in the reserve garden ; and with a good
stock of these, and a judicious use of a moderate
quantity of small formal evergreens, very much might•
be done to improve the ordinary winter and spring
appearance of the flower-garden.
FRUIT.—The strawberries in pots should now be
placed in their winter quarters. The common
practice of stacking up the pots on their sides in
sloping ridges is- somewhat ' troublesome, and, quite

OMINOUS INCIDENT.

Some embarrassment occurred as to the person who
should give the queen away,—a part of the ceremony not
provided for. After a brief conference, it was removed by
the Marquis of Winchester and the Earls of Pembroke
and Derby, who took it on themselves to give her away in
the name of the whole realm; at which the multitude
raised a shout that made the old walls of the cathedral
ring again. The marriage service was then concluded by
the Bishop of Winchester. Philip and Mary resumed
their seats, and mass was performed, when the bridegroom,
rising, gave his consort the " kiss of peace," according to
the custom of the time. The whole ceremony occupied
nearly four hours. At the close of it, Philip, taking
Mary by the hand, led her from the church. The royal
couple were followed by the long train of prelates and
nobles, and were preceded by the Earls of Pembroke and
Derby, each bearing aloft a naked sword, the symbol of
sovereignty. The effect of the spectacle was heightened
by the various costumes of the two nations,—the richly-
tinted and picturesque dresses of the Spaniards, and the
solid magnificence of the English and Flemings, mingling
together in gay confusion. The glittering procession
moved slowly on, to the blithe sounds of festal music,
while the air was rent with the loyal acclamations of the
populace, delighted, as usual, with the splendour of the
pageant.
That the marriage thus inauspiciously in-

Messrs. BURNS and MAC IVER beg to,
\ draw the attention of Shippers and Passengers
0tr0...i-Ni by their Steam Vessels to the 329th section
- of the New Merchant Shipping Act, which is as
follows:
" No person shall be entitled to carry in any ship, or to require
the master or owner of any ship to carry therein, Aquafortis, Oil
of Vitriol, Gunpowder, or any other Goods which, in the judg-
ment of such master or owner, are of a dangerous nature ; and if
any person carries or sends by any ship any goods of a dangerous
nature, without distinctly marking their nature on the outside of
the package containing the same, or otherwise giving notice in
writing to the master or owner, at or before the time of carrying
or sending the same to be shipped, he shall for every such offence
incur a penalty not exceeding£loo ; and the master or owner of
any ship. may refuse to take on board any parcel that he suspects
to contain goods of a dangerous nature, and may require them to
be opened to ascertain the fact."

THE WAR.

Letters from the Crimea to the 6th inclusive have arrived
The Times' correspondent's letter of the 3rd is chiefly filled
with speculations on the advisability of a bombardment of
Odessa. It appears that, owing to the construction of the
houses, and the width of the streets, the bombardment would
produce very little effect.

DISASTROUS EXPLOSIONS 'OF FRENCH

MAGAZINES AT SEBASTOPOL.

A despatch from Sebastopol of the 16th inst. states that
the French park of artillery at Inkerman has been partly
destroyed, by the explosion of three magazines, containing
30,000 kilogrammes of powder, 600,000 cartouches, and 300
shells, the fire even gaining the English park of artillery.
The French loss consisted of 30 killed, including two officers ;
100 wounded; including ten officers. The English losses
were nearly as much.
The cause of the explosion is unknown.

TO GAS CONSUMERS.

THE PATENT GAS REGULATOR insures a
saving of 25 per Cent. upon former consumption, while at
the same time a more brilliant light is obtained, and the un-
pleasant effects upon respiration, gilding, colours, &c., resulting
from the escape of unconsumed Gas, are, by a more perfect com-
bustion, avoided. _ _

Gas ie generally delivered from the Street Mains at a pressure
of l inches of water, often reaching to 3 inches. Experiments
have demonstrated that when of good quality it is most economi-
cally burnt at a pressure of four-tenths of an inch.
The Patent Regulator, when once adjusted, continues to furnish
Gas at one uniform pressure, unaltered by the constant, fluctua-
tions of the street supply, and in its action is entirely independent
of the number of burners it supplies.
At the undermentioned Offices an Experimental room is fitted
up to demonstrate the results as above stated. The Regulator has
been thoroughly and practically tested at the numerous Railway
Companies, large Establishments, Public Institutions, and Private
Mansions, to which we can with pleasure and satisfaction refer as
the best proof of its utility and value.
