THAMES.

Mr. William Ball'aicie,;;t7iof the collier Eaglet, ap-
peared to information.; issued at the instance of Mr. Deer-
ing, of the coal whippers' office, charging him with violating
the 14th clause of the recent act by employing persons neither
qualified in the usual way at the office nor being bona. fide
servants of the owner, or purchasers in discharging a cargo
of coke.
Mr. Wutchbery, from the City:solicitor's office, called Mr.
Ingham's attention to the fact that by a provision of the
new act the term coal was made to include coke, calm, and
cinders.
Evidence being given of the discharge of the coke at the
Hanover hole platform, Itotherhithe, on Wednesday last,
James Smith proved that ho had employed a person
named Thompson, who was not a bona fide servant nor had
been had from the coalwhippers' registry-office, in the dis-
charge of the coke on that occasion.
Mr. Ingham, having looked over the 14th clause, found
it bad no reference to the captain's case, its object being to
render liable to a fine nut exceeding 21. any person who
worked at such employment without being duly qualified,
and, as Thompson was not before him, he could not proceed
against the captain under that clause.
Mr. Stutchbcry here called his worship's attention to the
72nd clause, which rendered the captain liable, and
Mr. Ingham, having looked over it, called upon the latter
for his defence.
The captain declared that he was wholly unaware of such
a clause having been introduced into the new enactment.
Having worked similar cargoes in the same way without
interruption for the last two years he hail not the slightest
idea that be was tratogressing any law.
Mr. Ingham observed that as the last act did not contain
any similar section it was very probable that the defendant
hail violated the law through ignorance; taking that to be
the case he presumed it would be sufficient in the present
instance to impose a merely nominal fine to operate as a
caution.
Mr. Stutchbery assented to this, observing that one of
the objects was to call attention to the clause by giving it
publicity.
The defendant was accordingly fined 3s. and costs.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Seer. 9.
General Armem has arrived in Madrid, and has
been gazetted as Minister of Marine.
The government of Louis Napoleon has urged on
Queen Isabella the expediency of restoring Narvaez
to the head of the Spanish cabinet. Christina, how-
ever, resists this change. But Lersaudi, the Minister
of War, wants firmness to brave the displeasure of
the Duke of Valencia, who is supposed to be on the
eve of returning to Madrid. The reported journey
of the Queen-mother to Paris is entirely devoid of
foundation.
The report of the committee on the budget will be
ready on the Ist November, when the Cortes will be
re-opened.

The share market is very good to-day, with rather
more movement than was to be observed yesterday.
Prices opened good, at a slight rise for most of the
leading stocks, and the improvement has since been
maintained, the present feeling of the market being
very firm. A good portion of the day's business is
doubtless in connexion with the settlement of the
account, which falls due on Friday. London and
South Westerns have experienced a further consider-
able tie% and Midlands, Great Westerns, and North
Staffords are also buoyant.

By a proper arrangement of the ventilators, a constant Mr-
calation of air should be secured, and where pipes or flues
are used the portion of fresh air which is admitted from the
outside should, if possible, be made to pass over their warm

proper attention to this point, the health of the foliage, and

TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXIIIIIITION EXPRESS.

Stn,-1 have read in your paper of the 28th ult., a letter
soggestiag to exhibitors the inviting these functionaries to
a bowknot in return for their exertions on behalf of the Great
Exhibition, 1861. Now none know BO well as the Executive
Committee, of which Col. Reid is el.airman, and Mr. Id. D.
Wyatt secretary, the extent of the practical aid which
the Ccmmission end the undertaking have experienced from
i this body, comprising generally, it not universally, pro.
firseional men, who have cheerfully sacrificed their time and
money in the cause. It is a feet, which every one who has
had to do with the matter knows well, that, in the name

of the disuict committee in ars! cues, the secretary
has been the party to get the 'dein of the Ishibi-
thin brought home to people in his neighbourhood, both as
regards their subscriptions, becoming exhibitors, and the
travelling clubs; that, too, frequently in the teeth, not merely
li of indifirrence, but of positive opposition. This being the
cue, they may safely rely that the illustrious president and
members of the Commission will take care at the fittiag time
to forward any plan for =kitten them an honorary acknow-
ledgement, whatever it is. I don't think an invitation to a
dinner is the most appropriate. Why should not those who
have materially helped towards the developement of their
own country's credit, productions, and resources, be protest,
and take their part at anv inauguration ceremony w►ich

STRIKING TER ICS.

Captain Forsyth determined to try and break through
the impediment, by foreleg the ship on it under a press of
manse. Accordingly all sail was set and the ship was
steered direct for the narrowest and most broken part of the
neck. Toe two mates were aloft in the crow's nest, to con
the vessel. I was canding on the extreme point of her bow,
and holding on by the fore stay, to direct her movement
when immediately upon the ice, and Captain Forsyth was
by the fide of the helmsman ; every man was at
some particular station at .d ready to perform any-
thing that was instantly repaired of him; and through-
an out the ship almost breathless anxiety prevailed,
, for, it must be remember( d, it was not a large and powerful
ship, but a small end comparatively fragile one that was now
about to try, with her own strength, to break a piece of lee
some feet thick, though not very broad. Oa either
side of her were heavy floes and pieces ; and it required
the greatest nicety in guiding her that she might in her
'strongest part, the bow, hit the precise spot where the neck
was weakest, and not come upon any other part, where the
could do nothing but severely injure herself. On she came,
at the rate of full five miles per hour; &dog as she ad-
vanced inereased impetus until she rushed towards it
with a speed of at least eight miles in the hour.
The distance from the neck was about a mile, and
the breeze blew steadily upon it. "Port! Starboard!
So—o —steady !" was every now and then hailed out
with stentorian lungs from aloft, and as energetically and
promptly repeated by the captain below to the man
at the wheel. Presently she came ewe to—she was
almost upsn it—a mistaken hail from aloft would have
pat her helm a-port, and sent her crashing upon
the heavy floe. I heard the order "ak' and,
before it had heen repeated, shouted loudly •ith the
men around me, who alio sow the mistake, "Starboard!
starboard ! hard &starboard!" and the next instant, with •
tremendous blow, that for the moment mad, her rebound
and tremble, ski stack the ice in the exact point, and
caused is to rend apart is 'operate fragments, which went
dying about in eU directions.
At Cape York the party landed and enjoyed the
sport of Esqaimanz sleigitiag, leap-frog, racing, and
otherwise amused themselves.

The honors of Odiot and Fronsent-ktenrice are la-
bouring with great activity; and a jeweller of
the Place Vendome will exhibit two diamond attires
and a broach, intended for the Queen of Spain, the
value of which amounts to upwards of a million of
francs. Another jeweller will send a saddle enriched
with diamonds, and valuid at 300,000 francs.
'Lace, too, will form an important item in the num-
ber of things to be sent over. The greatest in amount,
and most remarkable for beauty, will 'cm contributed
from Nancy. Beaides several pieces of minor impor-
tance, one especially is intended to attract great at-,
tendon. It is a counterpane, three yards lone and
two and a half broad. In the middle is embroidered
a bouquet of roses and poppies, and a garland all I
roiled of the same flowers, of a large size, all embroi-
dered au land with cotton of sze No. 120, the
appearance created being that of a whitesatin texture.'
The leaves are embroidered on what is termed a
vended ground, and has been most successfully got up.
There is not a single fault in the whole of this won-
derful piece of workmanship, the tracery of which
alone cost three months of labour.

" Oa the whale, the exhibition of French products
will, I am sure, be most satisfactory, although it is
asserted that it would have been more varied sad
important if the French government had beat able

Slight drawbacks there may and doubtless will
be, but up to this period there is, on the whole, every
prospect of the Great Exhibition being as marvellous

could desire."

FLOWER GARDEN AND SHRUBBERIES.

Aviv. preparations should now be made ter propagating
by getting pits, frames, soil, and pots ready. In taking cut•
tinga of bedding plants, it is worth while to bestow extra
attention on the naming and distinguishing of the different
kiads. It is very tantalising to find the harmonious arrange•
meat of your colours destroyed for want of a little more care
on the part of your propagator. When the weather permits,
let any alterations in the ground which have been decided
upon, be persevered in with all possible despatch, keeping
always in mind that success depends upon the careful manner
in which every operation is performed. These remarks
more particularly apply to the formation of the ground, the
preparation of the soil, and the taking up and replanting of
choice shrubs. If net done already, cuttings should be put
in immediately of many hardy shrubs, as the jasmine, II serer
ing currants, honeysuckle, &r. Look sharp after the beds of
crocus and other spring flowering bulbs, as mice are very
apt to attack them. We use the common figure 4 trap,
baited wi.h anything that mice are fond of, and find it
answer the desired sad.

FLORISTS. etowias.
The mildness of the 6014011 is telling on stocks of poly-
anthuses and auricular; for during • tour we have made
during the past week, we Sod that many have bloomed
prematurely : amongst named varieties, this is to be re-
gretted; with seedlings, amateurs are so anxious to ascertain
the properties of their elires, that it is rather desired
than otherwise; but no decisive rep should be taken with
them at this reason, unless they are radically bad—in that
case, they may be pulled up. In connection with these
flowers, the necessary compost should now be attended to,
I the more simple the better; we are no advocates for sugar
baker's scum, night-soil, &c., &e., which entered into the
nostrom of Emmerton a•d others of his day. Well sweetened
vegetable mould, with clean river sand, should eater largely
into the compost ; this, with loam taken from an old pasture
field, well turned in frosty weather, to mellow, and free from
hares and their larva, is the beet to get together in quan
tity for these flowers of anything we know. If stimulant
must be given, let it be done in the way of top dressings or
liquid manure ; but by all means, if the amateur wishes to
escape diseased and cankered roots, with certain Ices, let him
grow his pleats in the compost above alluded to.

GENERAL PLANT-HOENE —Eraotheoirms, Euphorbies
Puieeettias and many other woody plants which look
unsightly alter they have done flowering, may be tut down,
and placed in say situation not too cold or damp, where
they can be kept nearly dormant until spring. Geiser's,
anti similar habited plants, must be kept near the light,
even after their flowers are over; other wise they will be
asuzli weakened ; and, while their foliage continues green
and healthy, give sufficient water to moisten the contents of
the pot. Tiring forward successions of the above winter-
flowering plants for supplying the drawing room,. The
{Mains, epiphyllum truncstum, and varieties, FraneiXoeas,
Ike , will now be advancing towards a flowering state, and
should be assisted by being platted as fully in the lithe as
possible. The autumn-struck gloxinias and some of the
older bulbs which were dried od early last summer will now
be coming forward. A few hyacinths should ha put into •
grime, heated slightly at first. They delight in dung heat,
and the finest blooms are always obtained in pix or frames
heated with dung linings, and the plaits plugged in leaves
or tan. Cuttings of any useful winter flowering stove plants
put in now will be in a fine state for fliwering next winter.
Where space is limited it is in many cases found necessary
to do away wi.h the old plants as they cease flowering, first
taking a sufficient number of cuttings to secure a succession.

FORCING mar AkTYENT.

Where extensive forcing ilcaTrr•.l;;;;it is indispensable
that a good stock of soil and 1 be provided, and laid up
ear. fully in as dry a place as possible. L ,if collected
when dry, and thatched over, will not ferment until re-
quired for use, and their heating property is thus economised.
It is but seldom that shedding can be. had for a biro
stock a these ; but there are always some means at hand of
keeping them dry, if only by covering them with fern. A
rufficient quantity of tan should also be laid into a shed;
and thus, by having all things ready at hand, there will be
the greater chance of success in tbo various operations
carried on in the houses and pits, at this critical and busy
season. Peach-house.—ln the early house, where the buds
are now swelling, a temperature of about 50 deg. by night,
',Mtn rise of from 5 deg. to 10 deg. by day, will be required,
according to the clesrness of the weather. Give air daily,'
and sprinkle the trees frequently during clear weather.
Strarebrrries should now be taken into the forcing-pits once
• fortnight. The pots should be plunged ia 1 , and the
plants kept 'bent 1 foot from the glum, with a temperature
of 46 deg. to 50 deg., which will be sufficient top-heat for
some time, after they are first brought into the pit. Give
air stall times, except during very cold weather, and sprinkle
slightly with the syringe, when bright days occur. Melons.

STAFFORDSHIRE AND SHROPSHIRE RAILWAY
COMPANT,—Yesterday Mr. Archibald, one of the directors
and • trustee of this company, was ex ,mined at considerable
length before his Honour •Muter Richards, by Mr. Rox-
burgh, counsel for Mr. Hutton, the official manager, with
reference to certain m .n,ys alleged to ha.. been received by
him on behalf of the company, amounting to 4,9104 The
witness stated that this mous was not actually received
Mr. by
him, but jointly with • Collie, who it appeared
was now an insolvent, and in America; a portion
of it, perhaps sheut 3,0001., ems headed user to wit-
ness, but he was not able at tris distance of time to
speak to it with accuracy. Some of this money witness kept
in his own possession for some time, and subsequently paid
it into his banker's at Ulventon, to the extent. he thought,
of about 3,5001., out of the Commercial B• ink ; and the
object of the removal of the stoney was in consequence of •
request front the committee to place it in that position, to
prevent it from being attaehed by creditors. Of this amount
1,0001. was pieced to the credit of Messrs. Smith and Stan-
way in respect of shares. Mr. Roxburgh, upon the evidence
adduced, called upon the Muter for an order on Mr. Archi-
bald to pay over to the official manager the difference be-
tween 3,9101. and 3,5401 , the ecceunt which Mr. Archibald
had rendered having acknowledged the receipt of 3,5101.;
whereas he now admitted in evidence that he bad received
oat of the bank the whole of the 4,9101, leas 1,0001. His
Honour took time to consider.

succession of English scenes in town arid in country,
made additionally plumed by the li'.nry halo
thrown over the spots searchel out. Trip the first
is to flat-mesdosed Bedfordshire, with its county
town, famous fue two things—its churches and John
Bunyan. At Elatuw, the cottage is still shown
in which the inspired tinker, tippler, ruintly
dreamer, and voluminous writer was been. Close
by is a building known as the Green-house, now
need as a village school ; "its missive timbers, its
low-poisted doorway and antique character (says our
lady-guide), prove that it is far older than the days of
Bunyan ; rt might have been one of the barns, or
milk-boom P, or scalier, in which the good old Bedford
puritan wept and prayed." He speaks to his spiritual
children, in his " Grace Abouodu•g" (only one, be it'
remembered, of his sixty volumes of religious bolls),
about the clew, the milk-house, the stable, the bun,
"where God did visit their souls;" and Mrs. Hall,
with the true soul of an enthnsiut in search for
identical., calls attention to the house on Rioter-
green u oertsioly contemporary with Bunyan, and

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1851.

EXPECTED REMOVAL OF THE DIFFEREN-
TIAL DUTIES IMPOSED ON BRITISH SHIP-
PING IN THE PORTS OF SPAIN.

A letter recently received in town from a highly
respectable party in Gibraltar, states as follows:
It u anticipated by parties who are likely to be well
informed on the subject, that the privilege at present
granted to Spanish vessels carrying goods to England, via.,
admission on the same terms as English vessels, will shortly
be reciprocated by the Spanish government; so that En-
glish vessels arriving from England or Gibraltar at Spanish
porta will be admitted, on paying the same duties es Spanish
vessels; and that goods thus imported will be admitted on
paving the same duties as if brought in Spanish vessels.
This will make a very great difference in the port charges
paid by English vessels, which are at present excessive t
and at the same time, it is expected, will be the means of
greatly increasing the legal trade with Spain, both from
England and Gibraltar.
It has for some time past been currently reported,
that in consequence of the strong expression of
opinion on the injustice of the commercial policy of
Spain, elicited from leading members of all parties
in the discussion on Mr. Anderson's motion on the
Spanish differential duties last session, and the repre-
sentations addressed to the Spanish government by
Lord Palmerston, that the subct had been taken
into serious consideration at Madrid, and that a
favourable result was looked for. The letter referred
tc seems to confirm that expectation. But as the
removal of the differential duties on goods can only
be effected by an act of the Cortes, which does not
assemble until November, and it would no doubt
raise considerable discussion, the completion of the
measure cannot be looked for immediately. It is,
however, gratifying to find the principles of free-
trade and navigation making progress even in
Spain.
