" THE GARDENERse TEAR-110"K."

[Journal of Horticulture Office, 171, Fleet-street.
The 19th annual edition of this most valuable work
has reached us. Edited by Robert Hogg. L. L, FL a.,
one of the first, if not the first, authorities upon
matters of Horticultural from the first page to the
last it is full of carefully selected ably written
articles, brimful of facts, we should fancy absolutely
indispensable to the professional or the amateur. Th.
tremendous lists of new fruits and plants of 1977 must
make the tyro open his eves with astonishment, while
the receipts and memoranda ad work, both in the
greenhouse and the garden, are of the most corn-
prehensive derreription. As an instance of the
inlinita variety" its contents, we may mention
that it has a paper upon building, and from it perhaps
some of our readers will be delighted to learn that in
the measurement of brickwork "all cuttings are to be
measured superficially, except to birds' mouths and
squint quoins, which are to he run." We don't under-
stand mueli about that sort of thing ourselves, but
still, even for ourselves, we are able to extract a large
amount of information.

IiNINC WITH THE LARK.
Investigations made by a French ornithologist, as
to the habits of birds, have entirely destroyed the
lark's reputation for early rising. A. a matter of fact
he is quite a lazy bird, and does not rise until long
after chaffinches. linnets, 1t..., have had their break-
fast. We are informed that the earliest riser is the
zreenfinch, which gets up from his downy nest and
sines at the early hour of half-past one o'clock in the
morning. Next, at half past two, the black-cap
begins, and a half-an-heir later the quail presents
itself. Then, an hour later, the first real songster. the
blackbird, makes its appearance. At half-past four
the thrush is heard ti sing. The robin in hear.'
oh irtly after, followed by the wren. Then to conclude
our list, the house-sparrow and tom-tit appear to
warn no, by their merry twitter, of the approaching
day.

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

The Prince of Wales has abandoned his
intention of going to Paris thus week. Possibly
the state of politics in France may have anme-
thing to do with this change of plan.

The Pope, we understand frome Rome, is
fully aware of the critical state of his health,
which is gradually but steadily declining, not-
withstanding the occasional temporary periods
of improvement which occur. His Holiness is
anxious to complete two important acts before
his approaching end: the one is the holding of
a Consistory for the election of five cardinals,
and the other the re-establisment of a Catholic
hierarchy in Scotland.
I hear some distressing stories says Vanity
Fair about certain of the London work-
houses. At the Middlesex female prison the daily
amount of oakum to be picked is 21 lbs,and even
practised man, working hard, finds it difficult to
accomplish more. It will scarcely be believed a
that at some workhouses in London 4 lbs. of
oakum are exacted under the penalty of no
food. Thus the criminal is positively better off
than the pauper, and it is wiser to pick a pocket
than to be poor. This is undoubtedly an im-
pressive if not a fine moral lesson.

The police informatioas issued on Thursday
night to the members of the metropolitan police
force contain the announcement that Mr. Chief
Inspector Clarke, of the Detective Department,
Scotland-yard, has been reinstated on full pay.
The action of the Commissioners will entitle
Mr. Clarke to the arrears of his pay since the
date of his arrest, and to his full pension, on
which it is believed that he will immediately
retire.

It appears the Eddystone Lighthouse, which
has gleamed over the waters of the English
Channel for nearly 120 years, is at length to be
demolished and replaced by a large and more
efficient structure. The Li4hthouse, it will be
remembered, was built of granite, by Smeaton,
in 1759, on a spot which had proved fatal to
two preceding erections, the first having been
completely swept away, and its builder with it
in the terrible storm November 26th, 1703, and
the second having been burnt down in 1755.
As the rock upon which the present structure
stands will not admit a large edifice, its successor
will be erected on a rock about 100 yards in the
rear of the old building. When the Eddystone
was built no better illuminating power could be
found than tallow candles. Even at the present
moment, the Eddystone exhibits only a second-
class light, the tower not being spacious enough
I to admit a large apparatus.

THZ BYE LAWS.

Thew came under consideration with a view to strictly
enincing them.
Mr. t; arc, olil" asked if there was any clause compell-
ing the closing of the markets at c-rtain hours.
. .

SYmottits R:Lid the Cattle Market :4 were to be
c1:44:e41 at. three, awl the I ',wit h:xchauge at live.

Mr. FR 'MT 1:3i,1 something ought to be done, as the
tradesmen coffered cousiderably by the markets being
held so late.

A CIIWNCILDIR made some remark about the vales
held in private ;mould.
Mr. SvmoNps : If yon intend to say the markets
shall all be held in one field you must enforce the bye
laws.

Mr. GREGORT asked if they were in a position to do
this.

Mr. STW.NIK : I don't intend to sit at thin table
and be e declined by any gentleman.
Mr. Pon remarked that Mr. Elinor wan inerea-ing
the aecommodAtion ak, his repodtory. 1/1.1 n t kivos
if he was contemplating removing to the new g ' 01112.1.
Mr. NEWMAN : He does not intend removing at
present.
The :Quoit thought they might well enforce the bye
laws.

Mr. Burorr sail it was a thonaand pities there
should he no much talk abont Mr. Ens4r. There was
no man in the borough who had done no much for the
markets an Mr. Ensor.

Mr. Poet believed Mr. Ensor would be divnAed
do anything that was reasonable and fair, and in this
several members agreed.
The Nlavott remarked they had been to an enormous
expen-e to pro,ure a grnl market, and he thought the
lye laws should be enftwurti, irrespective of A. 1.1. or
and be h“lsel some member would move a provost.
tiont.. that effect. _

The TOWN ( Lritic : It is a great pity gentlemen
should it at that table and advocate the itterests
the tossa on the right hand and oppose them on the
left.

--Mr. Brim Err repudiated the Town Clerk's remarks.
Mr. Pun thomMt the remarks of Mr. Barnett
would have come with better grace frem any other
member, he having been elicitor to the defendant in
the action against Mr. Ennor.

After a lvttle more "talk-,' the Maron pnvposed
"That the Tv.wn having bid out a new fair
field and market ground the Town Clerk he requested
to notify to the public that the bye laws of the
borough would be strictly enforavvl."
