GRAPE CULTIVATION IN ENGLAND.—A corre-
spondent advises "the cultivation of an excellent fruit,
well known in the market as Hamburg grapes. They are
extensively grown in the open air in Holland for the Eng-
lish market, and could no doubt be equally well produced
at home as an agreeable addition to a gentleman's garden,
and even as a source of profit, the process not being costly.
Grapes on vines attached to walls in the usual manner will
rarely ripen in England in the open air, but they
approach so near to it that, with the artificial
help given to them as practised in Holland, they
would rarely, if ever, fail. The principle is to give
the plants increase of heat, and to shelter them from
injurious winds. The first is gained by making the walls
on which they are trained face due south, and at intervals
of about 12 feet to be of half brick and hollow so as to
retain the heat better, all these walls, and particularly the
hollow parts being covered with tiles or slate.• and the
second by high tenon or hurdles, or rushes and reeds sup-
ported in frames, or rows of straight-growing trees, on the
south sides, at 50 or 60 yards asunder, in somewhat long
lines perpendicular to the wall on which the vine is trained.
The spaces of open garden ground between these projecting
fences afford by their aspect and shelter very valuable plots
for_particular flowers or vegetables."
Fizz AT SNOW-HILL STATION, BIRMINGHAM.—
A fire broke out in the lamp room at the Great Western
Railway station, Snow-hill on Sunday night, soon after
11 o'clock. The station being of wood, it was in imminent
danger, as there was • considerable body of flame—suffi-
cient to light Snow-bill, and alarm people in distant parts
of the town—in • few minutes after the fire was first
observed. There was a good supply of water, and all
danger was over in ten minutes from the time when the
engines got to work. A great number of costly lamps in
the lamp room were destroyed, cotton waste and oil were
consumed, and the lamp room itself and the adjoining
porter's room, have suffered considerable damage. The
refreshment room was just caught by the fire, but was not
much burned. It is said that a porter went into the Limp
room, and left a lamp there, Ave minutes before the fire
was observed.
