The Gardeners Chronicle mentions as an instance
of the influence which horticulture, as carried out in
England, exercises on foreign potentates who witness it,
that the Viceroy of Egypt when recently here, was so
struck with the plants and flowers which be saw culti-
vated, that he has commissioned Mr. Bull to send him out
a thoroughly proficient flower gardener—one capable of
carrying out floriculture in a similar manner to the style
adopted in this count'''. As is generally known, the
Viceroy already has an English gardener, but the one
now referred to goes exclusively for the cultivation of
flowers ; a new and entirely separate appointment.

Another example of the insecurity of the gaols
in Ireland was afforded a few days sinee in the Tippenuy
Bridewell. A prisoner who was being brought before a
magistrate volunteered to the constable in charge of him a
statement to the effect that a deserter who had been com-
mitted to the gaol was armed with a loaded revolver, and
prepared to make his escape. Inqu:if was instituted, and
the fact found to be so. The head weeder has been sent
to the county prison in Clonmel, and the governor sus-
pended, in consequence of the discovery.
A painful incident occurred on the Boulevard
Poissonniere, near the Boulevard Strasburg, Paris, a few
moments before the Emperor of Austria passed. A young
man, assistant in a mercer's shop, while in the act of
fixing a flag at one of the windows of the first floor of the
house, leant for support on an iron bar of the balcony, to
which he was fastening the flagstaff. The bars suddenly
gave way, and he fell on the boulevard. He was taken
from the ground into the shop, accompanied by a surgeon
and a priest, who both happened to be in the group of
spectators. The skull was found to be fractured, and the
young man died in the course of the afternoon.
The Record is not sorry to learn that some of
the Bishop of Oxford's most influential clergy have de-
clined to obey his lordship's mandate ordering them to
read the Pan-Anglican Encyclical in their churches. It
remains to be seen whether his lordship will feel disposed
to enforce the order, or will allow it to drop as a brulust
fawn.
