BELGIUM.

In the Itelginn Senate, on Wednesday, M. Savart
asked the ministers if it were true that the ministe-
ferial crisis was at an end. The Minister of the In.
tenor replied that his Majesty had expensed the
wish that the present cabinet should psesenv the di-
rection of affairs; that, in consequence of the failure
of the attempts to constitute n new administration,
and to put an end to a crisis which, if continued, might
taus• grave inconvenienee, the cabinet had thought it
its duty to accede to the wish of his Majesty, and
that it hoped, by Owens of modifications in the wee-
sun•, INTSMIted and to he presented to the Chambers,
to put 1111 end to the difference of opinion which had
sown between it and the Chamber of Representatives.'
Tlw Minister of the Interior added, that he did not
think it right to give other explanations before the
'member• of the other Chamber, who had been eallcd
cit by the king to form a cabinet, should have stated
the motives which nook them decline doing so.

IS' OPERATIONS FOR THE
ENSUING WEEK.

Trees the Gardeees'a Clove'WU.
PLANT DRPANTNINT.

Let neatness and order prevailin all the plant-
houses, for however vigorous the growth of their inmates
may be, the effect produced is deficient, if the plants are
not so arranged as that each may receive its proper share
of room and light. Tying, stopping, and frequent turn-
ing, to keep every side of the various specimens in a
healthy state, should be well uttended to. Conservatory
climbers will demand some attention, to prevent them
from becoming entangled one with another. Let theta
be kept moderately thin, and not too closely tied in ; fur
they never look so charming as when allowtd to hang
gracefully front the roof. blanderdlea, and some others,
aro very subject to green fiy ; and to keep these in check,
use the syringe frequently in the afternoon, and endea-
vour to maintain a growing atmosphere, by sprinkling
the dry surface of the borders every day after much sun
heat. FORCING DIPARTKENT.
. . . . .

Admit plenty of air to grapes which arc colouring, main-
taining a high temperature during line clear weather. The
litter used upon vine borders may now be safely removed, ex-
cept a little of the shortest and most decayed portion of it,
which may, be loft as a mulching to protect any fibres
brought to the surface by the warmth imparted to the soil
during fermentation, and to prevent too sudden a check by
the drying effects of strong sunshine upon the coil. Due
attention should be paid to regulating the temperature to
the various stages of the crops in vineries. The healthy state
of the foliage should always be kept in view; and to ensure
this, admit air early, to dry off any excess of moisture be-
fore the rays of the sun come too powerfurly upon the koie,:m.
Care should be taken to prevent, by frequent use of sulphur,
the establishment of red spicier or other insects. When
no plants are grown beneath the vines, the laterals may
be allowed to extend themselves, so lorg as they do not
by their shade interfere with the action of the sun on the
principal leaves. Pay particular attention to the tying of
the shoots, in the direction which will afford them the het
opportunity of a healthy development. In the earlic:t
house, as soon as the crop is gathered, the trees should be
well washed with the engine, and syringed daily ; the hot-
water pipes, and any part of the house which is exposed to
the action of the sun, should be washed over with lime and
sulphur, to keep down red spider • and if the soil is dry, it
should be well watered. These directions are given with a
view to preserve the leaves, and to keep the plants in a
healthy steady growing state as long as .4 possible. By this
means, the plants accumulate an extra quantity of elabo-
rated sap, and avoid the injury arising from the alternate
checks and excitements which arc generally experienced
during autumn in our variable climate, by pants which are
allowed to go early to rest.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE
MARKETS.

MINCINO-LANE, SATURDAY MORNING.
Although only a small quantity of colonial produce has
been brought forward for public sale, former quotations
have nut been maintained. The sales of Sugar have gone
off flatly, at rates rather in favour of the buyers. In Coffee
very little has been done ; plantation Ceylon has realised
about previous prices ; but for the native descriptions, 6d.
per cwt. below the rates previously ruling has been ac-
cepted. White Pepper has been sold at a decline from tho
highest point of fully id. per lb. ; and Nutmegs have also
gone at about Id. to 2d. per lb. decline. The 'lea market
still keeps Hat, and some very common Congou bus heist
sold at 101. per lb.

GERMANY

The Co/00e flazette says that M. Mantenffers po-
sition in the Prussian cabinet is most precarious.
His retreat from the ministry, within a few weeks,
is said to be inevitable. We gather that the King
of Prussia feels highly incensed at the jeopardy
his minister has brought him into. At Char-
lottenburg, last Sunday week, a most angry in-
terview, at w hich, as we mentioned at the time, Count
Alvenslehmi was present, took place between the
king and the premier. The ministry of foreign
affAirs has been offered to ('omit Arnim and Count
Alveuslcben, and declined by both. No satisfaction
has yet been obtained from the government of Hesse
Cassel for the slight offered to Prussia 101 the Prince
of Prussia's birthday. it is said that the king has
taken up this matter very warmly.
General von der Horst has laid down the command
of the Schleswig-Holstein army. General von
Wissel, of the artillery, has been dismissed, with
several other superior officers. An increase of the
duty on coffee of per cent., on coals of 50 per
cent., on Silgal' of 25 per cent., on tea or 20 per cent.,
on tobacco ul 20 per cent., on wood of 23 per cent.,
anti on zinc of lit per cent., has been ordered in the
duchy of Schleswig.

SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Friburg, of the 30th ult., says :
Public tranquillity has not been disturbed in the
slightest degree store the affair of the 22nd ult., and
the false alarm of the 23rd. Two days ago, certain
houses were searched, to ascertain whether. as re-
ported. insurgents were secreted in them ; but none
were discovered. The same letter states that M.
ICarrard, parish priest of Lentigny, brother of the
famous chief of insurgents, and Si. Bersier, chaplain
at Rue, have been arrested."

possession of Bertran de Lis, Minister of Foreign
Affairs. The whole scheme he characterised as one
vast stock-jobbing imposture, to which ministers were
a party: He accused Bravo Murillo of interested
designs in forcing up the funds. This produced a great
disturbance. Bravo Murillo demanded explanations
with energy. The words of Garcia were taken down,
and finally retracted by that deputy ; but the wound
remains. Bcrtran de Lis next defended himself,
saying that he treated the imputation of Garcia with
sovereign contempt. This expression produced a
second row. Finally, Sanchez Ocana replied to the
speech of Garcia. and the debate was suspended, that
the house might resolve itself into sections. To-
morrow a fresh storm is expected. The debate has
assumed a character of extreme irritation.
The funds seem, as the Nera/do says, to have
reached their culminating point, and to be on
the ebb.

The journals of the 2sth ultimo state that
in the Senate on the previous day, the pro-
position for excluding certain mines from the sale
of public properties proposed to be effected by
the government, was rejected, and the bill was
adopted as presented. In the chamber of De-
. pubes, M. Bermudez de Castro proposed that
' the sale of the communal properties (proprios)
should be made the subject of a separate hill,
instead of being provided Ita• by that on the
settlement of the debt. The President of the
council opposed this as unnecessary. The discus-
sion was adjourned. The committee on the bill
ussetnbled on the evening of the 27th, and, after some
discussion, adopted, with a few slight modifications,
the remaining paragraphs of the clause relative to
the proprios. The other clauses of the bill were
likewise adopted. M. Llnrente then asked the pre-
sided of the council if he thought he could meet the
obligations imposed by the bill with the ordinary
resourees of the state? The minister replied that
without entering into details on the estimates of
1852, he believed that he should be able to satisfy
the new obligations by the ordinary permanent mea-
sures, and without any increase of direct taxes. After
a few observations from M. Llorente, the committee
declared its deliberations closed, sod ordered the bill'
to be presented to the Cortes. The Clamor Pith fro
joins the Hemllo in recommending the public to re-
frain from purchasing the Five per Ceut. stock at
present price's.

The debate in the Chamber on the bill for the
settlement of the debt is becoming daily more stormy.
To-day, Felix Garcia, a deputy of the party of Sarto-
rim, made a most violent speech against the project
of the government. He analyzed the credits which
it is proposed
tto settle, and attempted to prove, that

PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.

HARWICII ELECnON.—The petition of William
Cass Raadfield and James Pain, two of the electors who
voted at the last election, and just presented, complains
that the poll was finally closed by Francis Freeling liart,
the mayor of the borough and Marshal most at the elec-
tion, before 4 o'clock in the dl—_iek duet it was prema-
turely and unlawfully eland behre tie expiration of the
time fixed by law, without my Inikaalt ISM for or notice
of such closing; thst the siker declared that
Mr. Crawford had 133 votes, and gr. Priniep 127 votes i
that at the time the poll was so a number of voters
remained unpollcd, and who were prevented from
giving their votes in favour of Mr. Pricrapi that the pro-
ceedings at the election, before the find daft et the poll,
were interrupted and obstructed by open violates, and that
under the circumstances the returning officer ought not to
have closed, but have adjourned the poll to the next day ;
that many persons voted Xr. Crawford 111111 IMO not
entitled, not being duly qualifted, ow who had edited, re-
ceived, or taken money, or other reward by way of gift,
and that by such means a colourable and fictitious majority
was obtained by Mr. Crawford, who the petitioners further
allege was before, at and after the election, guilty by him-
self, agents, and partisans, of bribery, treating,
and other unlawful practices, sufficient to render the
election null and void, and to warrant the institution of ea
inquiry.
SILITHYTELD MAILICET REICOVAL.—The following

AMERICA,

The Royal Mail steamer Cambria, Captain Leitch,
which left Boston on Wednesday, the 28th ult.,
arrived in the Mersey last night, at ten o'clock, with
the usual mails, and 34 passengers.
The steamer Canada, which left Liverpool on the
17th ult., had arrived at Boston at 5, a.m., on the
day on which the Cambria sailed.
The following are the chief items of intelligence:
A riot had occurred at Hoboken, opposite the city
of New York, between a party of Germans who
were celebrating their May festivals, and a number
of Irishmen, the latter of whom crossed the river to
have a conflict. Four or five persons were killed,
and several badly wounded. A justice of the peace,
in endeavouring to quell the riot, had been shot
down. Fifty of the German party were sent to
prison for participation in the riot.
Cholera had again made its appearance in Cin-
cinnati and the neighbourhood.

WOOL MARKET.-THIS DAY.

With reference to the course of the market for Colonial
Wools, as shown in the late sales (of which notices have
already appeared in the Express), Messrs. Southey and Son,
in their circular, offer the following remarks :
Port Philip Wool, it will be observed, motile principal feature ;
the flocks generally from that colocy being in good condition, and I.
other revects appraved, conma inded great uPera ion. Owing to the
unfavourable reason at clip time, we were preparvd to gat Sydney
wool in avelaffereed emaitton ; we are, however, glad to say this dad
not generaly apply, though more than the usual proportion came in
the grease. We regretted to observe the burr very preva!ent in mast
flacks. The condition of wool from Von Merman's Load nun MOM
wasting than last season, and generally of short growth, so that our
combing wool hovers were cbliged to supply their wants in a great
degree from Fort Philip flocks. There were some very auperiur
parcels from Ad haide, for whirh tare WWI much comta mon.
Lambs' wool was in gait &maul, awl sad at very full
prices. Skin wool was offered in large quatitities, and rather
lower rate* were submittal to. Far Cape wools of a goal d scrip-
ti m, there w w a fair demand, but much that was uttered was
very interior, rind scoured "Mole, which for many mowing have re.
aired more than due favour, *bow a decline of Id. to id. per lb. upon
February prices,—it was complained that they were not ro well
washed as formerly. We estimate the qu.ntity bought for foreign
account at noir!, 4,00 U b Iles. East Indian wool WAS touch inquired
tor, and sold at an advance upon former rotes.

The first of a weekly series of auctions of this years' clip
of Wuol took place on the sth inst., at the auction-rooms of
Mr. Charles C. Farrell, of Dublin, at which there was a full
attendance of buyers. The printed catalogue included over
1,100 stone, which were each sold separately, at so much
per lb. This is generally regarded as an improvement on
the system prevalent in Dublin.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Juice 7.
The Tipperary " aggregate" meeting of Thursday
last was more remarkable for the refusal of the
Roman catholic high sheriff, Mr. Ryan, of Inch, to
comply with the requisition for convening it, than.
for any other circumstance connected with it. The
local Roman catholic organs describe it as having
been a most important demonstration of popular
feeling, but a correspondent of the Evening Mali
gives the subjoined very different account of the
proceedings :
CLONDIEL, THURSDAY RVINING.—The long-talked-of
aggregate meeting of the Roman catholic of this county
came off to-day in the court-house of Cashel; and, notwith-
standing all the efforts of the clergy, secular and regular,
secretaries, &c., &c , it has proved a most decided failure.
The building, which is anything but large, was more than
adequate to contain the assembly, which, tar the most part,
consisted of the Cashel rabble. That portion of the court-
house which was used as a platform is raised some feet from
the main floor, and was occupied by a host of P.U.'s and
C.C.'s, while sonic of the better-dressed portion of
the community were also allowed the genie privi-
lege, which prevented them from intermingling with
the herd below. The chair was taken shortly before
ten o'clock by a Mr. Scully, brother to one of the
members of this county ; and as it would be anything but
advisable to put the entire resolutions into the hands of
clerical orators,
i some of theta wire entrusted to the laity,
who, in most nstances, contented themselves with merely
moving and seconding those which fell to their respective
lots, thereby demising. the enlightened auditory of the
expected display of their rhetorical powers. Charles Bien-
coal, jun., of Longfield, I understand, was one of the excep-
tions, as be made his debut and maiden speech on the
occasion. The proceedings were brought to a termination
before three o'co.ct: p.m., and, although brief, what wan
said was, as usual, fiery and to the purpose, interspersed
with numerous threats of resistance to the bill by the
priests, and protestations of willingness to march to the
vary verge of the gallows for their religion, the exercise of
which said religion nobody has the least intention of inter-
fering with, while poor Mr. Ryan, of Inch, for his
meri-
torious conduct, came in, as might be expected from such a
gathering, fur more than au average share of invective and
abuse. Mr. Bagwell, although expected (as one of the
requi,itionists) did not attend, an example followed by the
mayor and nearly all the corporation of this town, though
so contiguous. In fact, ono need not be surprised at the
paucity of the Clonmel contingent, when many of the in-
habitants of Cashel, although %Anil' a itone's-throw of
the locality of the meeting, did not grace it with their
presence.

parishes, and letters were read from Sir Benjamin Hall,
Lord Dudley Stuart, Charles Lushington, Esq., Sir Do
Lacy Evans, and W. Williams, Esq., expressing their in-
tention to attend the deputation at the interview with the
Chancellor of the Exchuer.
Lord DUNCAN begged to congratulate the meeting on the
presence of the deputations from various parts of the metro-
' polls. The tax was imposed in barbarous times' and was a
disgrace to civilisation, the objections to it were founded on
principle, and it pressed most unequally upon the various
classes of soeiety. Ile intended upon the very earliest day
to give notice of his intention to bring forward his o!d
motion on the subject : he was ready then, and would con-
tinue ready, to light the battle of the repeal of this in-
iquitous tax; he would not address himself on the subject
of a house tav, because he did not think that with the pre-
sent surplus of the Chancellor of the Exchequer there was
any occasion for a substitute. lie had information that not
only in the metropolis, but in Oxford, Portsmouth, Sun-
derland, and numerous other large towns throughout the
kingdom, the agitation fur the repeal of the tax would be
strenuously continued, until the object in view was at-
tained.

After some desultory conversation, it was agreed that the
deputation should go to Downing-street in carriages pla-
earded with the words " uneonditional repeal of the window
duties."

- The thanks of the meeting were voted to Lord Duncan
for his services on this other question, and also to the chair-

BLOOMSBURY

Yesterday evening, a public meeting of the inha-
bitants of the übote parishes, convened by the Parochial
Association, was held at the Angel Inn, High-street, to
adopt further measures for securing the total abolition of
the window tax.

Mr. COOPER was called to the chair, and trusted that
those present would push on in the roam they had under-
taken; the parish of St. Giles was a quiet parish so far as
the parish officers were concerned, but the iniquitous nature
of the window tax was such that the inhabitants were
determined no longer to endure it.
Mr. SAVAGE rose to more the following resolution:—
"That in furtherance of the objects of the resolutions
passed at the meeting held at the Music Hall, Store-street,
this meeting resolves that petitions be circulated amongst
the inhabitants of these parishes, and that they lx re-
quested individually to use every means in their power to
promote the success of the movement." The object of this
motion was to carry out the resolutions they had before
come to.

Mr. MARSIIALL seeondixl the resolution, and observed,
it bad been stated that there wax but a little agitation on
the question in the provincial towns, but this arose from
the peculiar nature of the tax, which was essentially a
London tax, and bore most unequally upon its inhabitants.
The resolution was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN invited those gentlemen who were de-
sirous of joining the deputation to the Chancellor of the
Exchequer to-morrow (this day), to meet at the Marylehone
Court Rouse, at 12 &dock, whence the deputation would
proceed to Downing-street.
The meeting then separated.

IRELAND.

DITSLIN, Faa. 5.
By the exertions of Messrs. Smith and Sons, the
news-agents, her Majesty's speech was received in
Dublin last night (Tuesday) at a few minutes past 11
o'clock, notwithstanding a strong contrary wind and
a fog in the channel, by which the arrival of the
steamer (the Scotia) was delayed fully an hour
beyond the time in which she could easily perform
the voyage. The speech was telegraphed to Crewe,
and thence transmitted by. special engine to Holy-
head, where the Scotia was in waiting to bring it to
Ireland. It reached Holyhead at half-past 6, the
Bootie arrived at Kingstown at 5 minutes past 11,
and at 20 minutes past 11 Mr. Gray, the Kingstown
agent of the Chester and Holyhead Railway, placed
acy of the speech in the hands of his Excellency
the Lord Lieutenant at the Castle. A second edition
of the Erening Freeman containing the speech was
immediately printed, and despatched by. special
engine to Cork, for the purpose of transmission by
the Cambria to America, and of thus testing the ad-
vantage of sailing from an Irish port, but I tear that

Ronald Rater, 24, an engine-driver upon the Eastern

•
Ballantine appeared for the prosecution. The pri-
soner was defended by Mr. Parry and Mr. Parnell.
Mr. Ballantine said that the grand jury in this ease had
ignored the bill against the prisoner, and he was now ar-
raigned upon the coroner's ingui,ition. Upon looking over
the depositions, however, it app. ned tohimthat there were
no facts which at all juatilied the charge, and, indeed, if
there was blame to be attached to any one, it appeared to
him that it would rather point to other parties than to the
prisoner; and, under these einainistantes, with the sanction
of the court he should refrain ham offering any evidence
against the prisoner.

Mr. Parry begged to be allowed to .tate that the miaow,
had beretotbre home the character of a skilful, steady
driver, and there had never been the slighted imputation
upon him up to the period of this transaction.
Mr. Justice C'oleridge said ho thought the learned counsel
for the prosecution had exercised a proper discretion in
withdrawing from the prosecution, and the jury then, under
his lordship's direction, returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY.

WORSHIP-STREET.

DETItAtIDINO THE EASTERN (.01"NTIr.s RAILWAY LOY-
PANT.--J. Beasoky, a person of gentlemanly appearance
was charged with riding in a 11l Bond-elan carriage of thi
above railway, haring only paid for a third-class ticket.
Henry Rogers, ticket-collector, at Shan:ditch terminus,
deposed to having collected tickets from the 10 o'clock train
from Colchester to London last evening, and receiving from
the prisoner, who was sitting in a second-class carriage, a
third-class ticket. Witness demanded the excess of fare from
" Ilford," at which place it appeared prisoner had taken his
ticket ; he refused to pay the demand, alleging that he had
not any moneyl; but, on alighting at the l latform, took a
shilling from his pocket, and, holding it up, asked the officials
if "they did not wish to have it." When asked fur his ad-
dress, he refused to give it.
Two gentlemen, who hadritlden in the same carriage with
prisoner, stated to Shackell, the (Meer on duty at. the ter-
minus, that prisoner had been tented from the carnage into
a third-clam before the train reaehed Forest-gato; but on
reaching that station he again entered.
In defence, prisoner said that he had entered the second-
claw by mistake, and complained of the violence of the
company's officers, who refused hint a table of the fares,
and would not allow him to send for his friends.

Mr. Arnold thought the caters bud Mimed with great
forbearance, and told the primmer he was liable, under the
Railway Consolidated Act, to a fine of 40s.
The company did not wish to press the charge, and the
penalty was reduced to 55., with lc was paid.

The total receipts upon the corresponding lines
being 281,828/. this year, against 228,0491. in the
corresponding week of 1850, the increase is shown to
be 32,879/., or 23 per cent. The number of miles
open was, in 1831, 4,180!„ and in 1850, 3,9431, show-
ing an increase of 236/ miles, or 6 percent. The ave-
rage return per mile perweek was, in 1831, 671.85. 3d.,
and in 1850, 58/. Is.; so that the difference in favour
of the present year amounts to 9/. 7s. 3d. per mile
per week. The comparison is thus shown to remain
as favourable as ever; and there can be little doubt
that the returns will be equally good for some time
to come, as they will be swelled by the crowds of
operatives and others from the great manufacturing
towns, who are expected shortly to make their
visit to London, to see the Exhibition. With
the present week the teduced autumn fares
have commenced on many lines, and of the econo-
mical advantages thus held out many of our
provincial friends will be most ready to avail them-
selves. The only line that appears to be much af-
fected by any exceptional influx of traffic during the
week under notice is the London and Brighton, the
return on which line, in both the years contrasted, is
largely increased by the Goodwood races. Last
year's return on the Midland line was improved by
the Leominster races, which makes the comparison
apparently the more unfavourable to the present year

EXTENSIVE CoNFLAtiItATION IN AINTRALI.I.—The
following is an extract of a letter just received by Mr. J.
Shearman, a rewpectable labourer, in Orton. in the county
of Westmorland, from his brother in Australia, who ems•
grated a few years ago We have had the draughtiest
summer that was ever known in Port l'hillip. There is
great failure in the agricultural produce. 1• lour has risen
from 10/. to 171. per ton, owing to the drought and de•
structiou by fire. There are many, very many, that have
lost all they hadby the bu,h tires all round about us. For
six weeks we could see them flaming every •day ; it
was set on fire round me before it consumed
all my grass in the tunes. We put it out twice, and
the third time it burnt all but the house and stork ;
it flamed around us with fury. The heat and smoke
were bud to encounter with . the hut wind from the north.
The fire came at a great speed, but that • day was nothing
to the great consuming day a fortnight after. It was called
Black Thursday. Hundreds of sheep and cattle were burnt
to death; many lost all they had in the world, and many
were burnt. One woman and five children were burnt to
death. Many saved their lives by going into the river
and water holes. There was a part of the country act on
fire by a man burning hi, stubble. It is often set on fire
by the dmymen—the carriers that travel through the
country with store goods. They have teams of oven, and
encamp all along the road for hundreds of miles, leaving
their fires in when they go off iu the morning. and the
long grus and bark get hold, and it rages in a dry tint.,
like this summer is. The natives never saw a mnitnter
like it."

SMITHFIELD MARKET.-THIS DAY.

We have a large number of Beasts on offer, and the de-
mand very limited. Our trade is slow, but Monday's rates
are maintained for choice qualities; several inferior remain
unsold. The supply of Sheep and Lambs is about the
same as of late; the trade is, however, more cheer-
ful, and in some instances a small advance in
price is realised. Calves are again plentiful. There is
a brisk sale, but very difficult to obtain more money. From
Germany and Holland there are 252 Beasts, 1,850 Sheep,
363 Calves, and 50 l'igs ; Spain, 670 Sheep; Scotland, 100

A CHEAP TRIP TO THE EXHIBITION.—A labour-

and quick journey from that town to the Exhibition. He
left on the night of the 22nd inst. for London, with only a
few sandwiches in his pocket, and a shilling in his purse,
after paying his fare of ss. for a third-class railway ticket.
He paid his shilling on Wednesday to see the Exhibition in
the Crystal Palace; he ate his " grub " in the building,
drank from the crystal fountain, returned home that night.
and resumed his work on Thursday morning, without
having spent a farthing for eithe- lodging?, eating, or
