HORTICULTURE.

FLOWER GARDEN.—What with falling leaves and
the tiresome diligence of the worms, much labour is
necessary to keep lawns, &c., clean and neat at this
season. There is, however, no help for it but a dili-
gent use of the broom and roller. Continue to mow
as frequently as may be necessary to keep the grass
short, for much time is lost in clearing up leaves when
the grass is allowed to get long ; also keep the sur-

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

AT THE CONCERT-HALL, Lord Nelson-street, large audi-
ences have been delighted during the past week by the thril-
ling and artistic strains of Madame Anna Thillon, the rounded
tones of Mr. Augustus Braham, and the sustained notes of
Mr. Henry Drayton. In the course of their performances
these artistes gave admirable illustrations of the beauty of our
native melodies, and did for the audiences what we far too
seldom hear among our fashionable vocalists; they gave ex-
pression and feeling to the melodies, atttending less to the
graces and more to the sentiment. From the judgment and
skill evinced, they richly merited the numerous and hearty
applauses they received.
AT THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE, Mr. Wright, from the
Adelphi, in London, has been performing to large and admi-
ring houses. He has during the week repeated many of his
favourite characters, including Paul Pry in Poole's comedy
of that name ; as Billy Lackaday in " Sweethearts and
Wives ;" as Grunzley in" Domestic Economy," and as Blaize
in" Victorine." In all of these characters he, as usual, eli-
cited warm applause. His engagement continues throughout
the present week, and his performances will, without doubt,
prove as attractive as they have hitherto deservedly been. The
other performers lend their best aid in filling up the respec-
tive parts, and in these not a few of them are excellent.

LIVERPOOL DOCK COMMITTEE.

THE weekly meeting was held on Thursday, Mr. Charles
Turner in the chair. The special cr.,.:.lmittee had recommended
an increase in the dock rates which might 1:e equal to the
increased expenditurg:involved by the high' rate of interest,
the probability of a piOlonged war, and the lessened amount
of dues, resulting from a diminution in the admeasurement of
ships. 'A sum of £40,000 had been ordered to be paid to the
Earl-of. Derby on account. of the purcliase efdandat 'the north
end, under the provisions of the Liverpool Dock Act, 1855.
In the marine department a letter was read from Lieut.
Lord, offering to continue,in his situation, as marine surveyor,
for six months, in order to save the committee inconvenience,
provided he were not responsible for the duty afloat, which
his medical adviser considered might cost his life. ; r
A letter was read from the Mayor, eipreising his thank; to
the dock committee for the arrangements made on the occa-
sion of the visit of the Duke of Cambridge, and adding that
his royal highness felt the greatest satisfaction and pleasure
in what he had seen of the docks and the river.
A letter was read from Messrs. Hohne, Slater, and Crook,
requesting to know how long the Morpeth Dock was to remain
dry, as they expected a cargo of mahogany in about a month,
which, if the dock were to remain dry at that time, they should
recommend their correspondents not to send to the Mersey.
The letter was referred to the harbour master's committee.
A letter from Messrs. De Wolf, requesting to be allowed
to renew their lease, of portion of the premises they at present
occupy in the Birkenhead warehouses, was referred to the
warehouse committee.

tions. To-DAY, the Sugar market opened with in-
creased activity, both the trade and speculators having
purchased freely, an rites, particularly for grocery
kinds, may again bVillbnsidered higher ; including
Saturday's business, the sales comprise 65 hhds. Bar-
badoes at 475. to 495. ; 35 hhds. Jamaica at 455. to
475. ; 2,600 mats brown Mauritius at 435. 6d. to 446. •
600 bags Pernams at 455. to 465., with 11,500
bags to arrive at 28s. 3d. to 28s. 6d., and 400
tons Bahia, also to arrive, at 28s. 6d. per cwt.
Nothing has taken place in Molasses or Rum. 100
bags Rio Coffee are reported at 415., with a cargo of
St. Domingo, afloat for the Mediterranean, at 505.,
and 230 bags Trinidad Cocoa at 48s. per cwt. from the
quay. The Tea market continues moderately firm :
good common Congou has been placed at 9d. per lb.
The "Conrad " has arrived from Shanghai. The
sales in Rice are limited to 650 bags Arracan at 12s. 6d.
per cwt. A small parcel of Saltpetre has realised 455.
per cwt., 22 per cent, refraction ; 60 bales Jute, £l9
per ton ; and 1000 bags Bombay Linseed, 775. per
quarter.
WooL.--The market continues in a very dull, unsa-
tisfactory state ; the transactions during the past week
have been very limited, and entirely confined to the
actual and pressing wants of the trade ; anything like
a speculative demand has entirely ceased for the time,
and, to effect sales during the present state of stagna-
tion, lower prices would have to be submitted to. he
public sales in London are progressing heavily at a
reduction of id. to lid. per lb. on Colonial Wools ;
and, although we quote no positive or material reduc-
tion on low foreign Wools, yet in the almost total
absence of demand existing at the present moment,
quotations must be considered as almost nominal.
Stocks of all descriptions continue light, and holders
not anxious to press sales. The imports for the week
are :-1,309 bales Australian ; 1,346 East Indian ; 263
Buenos Ayres ; 290 Mediterranean ; 507 Portugal ;
30 Irish ; 20 Coastwise : total, 3,765 bales.
METALS.—We had a quiet market in Scotch pigs
during the past week, and prices have gradually
given way to 755. 6d. to 765., at which we close to-day.
Manufactured iron continues firm, and in very fair
demand; Bars, £8 to £8 ss. per ton.

AGRICULTURE.

VALUE OF SHEEP.-Mr. Druce, of Ensham, has
given the results of his experiments on various breeds
of sheep in a letter which appears in the Royal Agri-
cultural Society's Journal. He considers it proved
that the same quantity of food that will suffice for 100
Cotswolds will suffice for 105 Leicesters, 115 Hamp-
shire Downs, 120 pure-bred or Sussex Downs, or 115
cross-bred or Down Coltswolds. On this supposition
the results in money, supposing each lamb or teg to be
sold as mutton at the year's end, would be as follows :
Cotswolds, lls. 4d. per fleece, 38s. 4d. carcase, 495. Bd.
single teg, and £248 6s. Bd. entire flock. Leicesters,
fleece 9s. 10d., carcase 325. 7d., single teg 425. 5d.,
entire flock £222 12s. 9d. ; Sussex Downs, proportions
6s. 11-1-d., 335. 9d., 40s. 811, and £204 2s. 6d.; Hamp-
shire Downs, 95., 365.10 d., 455.10 d., and 2263105. 10d.;
Cross-bred, 9s. 41s. 2d., 51s. lid., and £292105.
The term " entire flock" is supposed to imply the num-
ber of sheep that could be kept on what would suffice
for 100 Cotswolds, the proportions being given as
above.

may possibly be of some use to the agricultural public,

NORTH AND SOUTH TOXTETH WARDS.

A numerous meeting of the Radical electors of these wards
was held last night, at the house of Mr. M'Phillimore, in
Park-place ; Henry Fernie, Esq., in the chair.
Mr. WILSON proposed, and Mr. THOMAS EvAxs seconded
the nomination of William Evans, Esq., as a fit and proper
candidate for South TOxteth Ward. There was a feeling that
the timber trade had exercised a kind of dictation with refer-
ence to the representation of these wards, and the object of 2.
the meeting was to exercise an independent choice. The reso-
lution was declared to be carried unanimously, and the chair- =
man introduced the candidate to the meeting.
Mr. Wm. EvAlis, in addressing the meeting, alluded to the
fact of the honour being unsolicited on his part; but ho--
accepted the invitation in the hope of being able to benefit his
fellow-townsmen, and to make himself useful in that body to .
which they had agreed to send him as their representative.
Mr. THOS. Mecx AT proposed Mr. Walter F. M'Gregor as a
candidate for the representation of North Toxteth, Mr. WAT-
SON seconded the motion, which was declared to be carried.
Mr. M'Gregor was not present. Thanks were voted to the
chairman, and the meeting shortly afterwards broke up.

RUSSIAN DARING.

A story is afloat that a few nights ago three boats, taking
advantage of the darkness, quietly crossed from the north side,
and entering the Karabelnaia port, proceeded towards some of
the sheds on the Dockyard-quaydralaving arrived at the
stairs, some Russians landed, and, finding they were unob-
served, removed a certain amount of stores, with which they
got back safely to their own side of the roadstead. This feat
might be accomplished with the greatest ease, unless the
sentries were on the alert. The guard, which previous to this
occurrence was a subaltern's, has since been increased to a
captain's guard. Whether captains, such as are now not Wl-
frequently met in some of the regiments, with little more than
two years' service and experience, and mere striplings in years,
are much more likely to take the necessary measures to pre-
vent the recurrence of similar deeds on the part of so cunning
an enemy as the one to whom we are opposed, is a matter for
the consideration of military authorities.

LITERARY EXTRACTS.

DREA3IS.—And how can we certainly distinguish
between our dreams and our waking thoughts ? What
criterion is there by which we may surely know
whether we are awake or asleep P It is true, as soon as
we awake out of sleep, we know we have been in a
dream, and are now awake. But how shall we know
that a dream is such, while we continue therein P
What is a dream ? To give a gross and superficial,
not a philosophical account of it, it is a series of per-
sons and things presented to our mind in sleep, which
have no being but in our own imagination. A dream,
therefore, is a kind of digression from our real life ; it
seems to be an echo of what was said or done when we
were awake. Or, may we say, a dream is a fragment
of life, broken off at both ends, not connected either
with the past that goes before, or with that which
follows after ? And is there any better way of
distinguishing our dreams from our waking thoughts,
than lby this very circumstance ? It is a kind of pa-
renthesis inserted in life, as that is in a discourse which
goes on equally well either with it or without it. By
this, then, we may infallibly know a dream ; by its
being broken off at both ends ; by its having no proper
connection with the real things which either precede or
follow it.---John Wesley.
THE BEAUTIFUL "Tx DEUM" of Giovanni Adelfo
Hasse, surnamed Il Sassonis, a native of Bergedorf,
near Hamburg, born 1399, had the following singular
origin :—He had been commissioned by King Augus-
tus 111. to compose a new Te Deurn, but, having been
for some time very ill, he was not disposed to study,
and was unable to please himself. Meanwhile the day
it was to be delivered was near at hand ; almost de-
spairing of success, he took a walk on a fine Sunday
morning in the Royal-park. A lusty peasant from
Gruna, who was going to Communion at a neighbour-
ing church, overtook him near the Palace, addressed
him cordially, and kept close to him, notwithstanding
the cool answers he received. Vexed at being thus
interrupted in his meditations, he was about to turn
into a side path, when suddenly a ray of invention was
kindled in his soul, and the leading idea of the Te
Deum flashed across his mind. Not to lose it, he im-
petuously desired the peasant to stand still, ran into
the gardener's lodge for a piece of chalk, and was
about to draw the stave across the broad shoulders of
the peasant, when the latter, already amazed at the
command to stand still, grew quite angry at the chalk
marks on his Sunday coat, and, supposing Hasse to be

HEALTH OF THE TROOPS.

The troops continue remarkably healthy. Their duties are
comparatively light. Excepting the guards for the divisional
staff establishments, the usual regimental guards, and those in
the part of Sebastopol occupied by the British, they are chiefly
employed on fatigue duties ; such as making the military roads,
collecting stones from the batteries, building walls and enclo-
sures for the commissariat stores, or stabling for the animals
belonging to the Land Transport Corps, draining the camps,
repairing the water tanks, collecting gabions from the trenches
or enemy's works—these being the only wood issued at present
for fuel—or other employments of a like nature. There are,
consequently, few night duties, and this is, doubtless, one cir-
cumstance which is greatly conducive to the present sanitary
condition of the men. The younger. soldiers are being in-
structed in drill, and many of the regimental parade grounds
present the appearance rather of what might be expected to
be seen at an encampment in England, than under the walls
of Sebastopol. The Highland Division are making prepara-
tions for changing their ground near Samara. The brigade
will move about a mile further in the direction of Baidar, and
the other regiments will take up positions, though not so far
from the site of their present encampments, towards the same
point. In consequence of the departure of the Ottoman troops
for Asia, the greater part of the outpost duties, which were
formerly performed by them, will now devolve upon the men
of the Highland Division.

PRIZE RANGES

HARRISON'S PATENT KITCHENER, made
in size to suit both Cottage and Mansion, cannot be
equalled for the economy of fuel, cure of smoky chimneys, and
for facilitating and improving the various operations of cooking.
See annexed 1 estimonial :-
2, Parliament-terrace, Liverpool, Sept. 14, 1855.
I have had one of " Harrison's" Patent Kitcheners put up in
my kitchen, which has been in daily use nearly three months, and
I do not hesitate to state my conviction that it is by far the best
thing of the kind yet extant. It is more cleanly in its operations
than any other range—it is more perfect in roasting and baking—
its consumption of coal is so small that in two, or at the furthest
in three years, it will save in fuel the cost of its outlay ; and lastly,
though by no means least, it is a certain cure for a smoky chim-
ney, and this alone is worth all its cost. My cook states that after
a little attention at first, it is managed with the greatest ease, and
she desires nothing better. It bakes our bread admirably, and
never fails. Altogether I regard it as a great domestic comfort.

AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER,

The account of the work given by Mr. Tomes
is interesting as a record of persevering ingenuity,
backed by no inconsiderable skill in overcoming
obstacles, and conquering difficulties which is
highly creditable to the enterprise of the United
States. Among these difficulties, those :arising
from the effects of a pestilent atmosphere were
found to be the most serious and repressing. The
extent and nature of these difficulties, in pre-
venting the accession of labourers, may be
gathered in some degree from the annexed ac-
count of the melancholy fate of

ADVANCE OF THE FRENCH.

The French are still pushing on to the right, and have now
reached the upper valley of the Belbek river. The Russians
are retiring before them. From every side we hear that the
enemy is falling, by detachments_ upon Perekop, and the
gradually diminishing extent of the encampments, which can
ayPeflrs to give sup.
be observed over the Inkerman
heights
port to these assertions. There is no diminution of fire, how.
ever, from the forts and batteries on the north side of the
roadstead ; on the contrary, it has been kept up with much
more activity during the last two or three days. It has
art been
especially directed against the Malakhoff, and the pof
Sebastopol held by the French on the west side of the south
act
harbour. The English have not constructed any works to
against the north side ; the battery commenced on the former
site of Fort Paul, but afterwards abandoned, has not again
been proceeded with. The French have nearly completed
another large work near Fort Alexander, destined more
particularly to act against Fort Constantine. It is to contain
an armament of ten mortars.

up to the present day ; and, though it is not to be
supposed that any British Government would hazard
a similar rash experiment on colonial loyalty, other pro-
vocations may lead to a similar result. The West
Indies were, in many respects, our most valuable pos-
sessions, for the interests were in comparatively few
hands, and the profits flowed into the mother country ;
but they were ruthlessly sacrificed to encourage slavery
in Cuba, after paying twenty millions to abolish it in
our own Colonies ; and although we may not hear so
many complaints of distress, it is simply because all
the real sufferers have long since been ruined. Canada,
it is true, is, for the present, enjoying the quietude
which springs from unbroken prosperity and rapid
improvement ; and we hear also of exuberant rejoic-
ings at the successes of the British arms in the Crimea,
showing the feelings of loyalty which animate the
British portion of the population ; but prosperity is not
always to be counted upon, reverses might excite other
feelings, and there are numbers in the neighbouring
states who would gladly encourage a proposition for
annexation. Australia is comparatively a new colony,
but she is fast acquiring the sinews of strength, and
would have no indisposition to shake off her allegiance
if the opportunity were afforded. Something has been
done by way of provision for the future in granting
constitutions ; but, if England is to maintain those
Colonial appanages which many believed to be the
chief elements in our national greatness, the affairs
of the Colonial-office must be conducted with far more
ability than has lately been exhibited. Earl GREY
almost provoked insurrection both at the Cape of Good
Hope and in Australia, by persisting in his insane
attempt to contaminate the population with convicts.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL showed his contempt for the
duties of the office by undertaking a special mission to
Vienna, which fortunately resulted in his dismissal ;
and now, by the death of Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH,
the Colonies are once more left to chance or to the
unpractised hand of some embryo statesman whom
Lord PALMERSTON may elevate into place, not perhaps
so much from choice as from necessity ; unless,
indeed, the loss of the Colonial Secretary, and also of
Viscount CANNING, who has been made Governor-
General of India, should eventuate in another minis-
terial criEis, which may once more put the right men
in the right places.

THE CAPTURE OF KINBURN.

PARIS, Oct. 23.
Marshal Pelissier has forwarded to the minister of war the
following communication relating to the operations of the
allied forces at Kinburn

SEBASTOPOL, Ot. , five m.
I have just received from General Bazainc 21
his report p.
of the
capture of Kinburn.
The Anglo-French division of the army has actively con-
tributed to the success of the allied squadron.
Having been landed on the peninsula about 5 kilometres
from the fortress, it took up its position, and in the night of
• the 16th opened the trenches at 800 metres from the works.
When the fleet commenced its heavy fire on the 17th, two
companies of Chasseurs, under cover at a distance of 400
metres from the batteries, were able to keep up a fusillade on
the Russian artillerymen at their guns.
The field artillery also played an effective part in the
operation.

We have taken 1,420 prisoners, including General Koiano-
vitch and 40 officers, with 174 pieces of cannon and a quantity
of ammunition and stores. We are now in full occupation of
an important position.
Such are the results to the allies of this successful expedition.
The Russians have rendered this success complete by them-
selves blowing up the fortifications of Oczakofl', on the 18th.
I send you the standard, with the arms of Russia, which
floated over the walls of Kinburn.

BERLIN, Wednesday.
Prince Gortschakoff telegraphs that nothing fresh had oc-
curred between Kinburn and Nicholaieff up to the evening of
the 22nd.

but soon returned. _
