How To CARRY FLOWERS. —When sent by post
is better than wrappiog them in oiled paper • when
otherwise a piece of wet sponge fastened inaide •
wooden box, or layers of wet brown paper, or wet flannel
ea • lining to the box, or freshly gathered cabbage leaves
with their under side placed next the flowers, are unobjec-
tionable. If the box is of tin well secured at the lid, then
• source of constant moisture is lees requisite, for the
leaves and flowers themselves will form an atmo-
sphere of sufficient dampness for a short time. Another
method which answers extremely well when flowers are
gathered in dry weather, is, as soon as they Sr. cut to throw
them into a bag, like • carpetbag, made of mackintosh. If
the snap of such an article closes well, flowers will remain
fresh all day long in • broiling suo, as some botanical tra-
vellers well know. The reason why such flowers are pre-
served is still the same—the air around them is damp.
Tourists who bust after wild flowers, or ferns, should pro-
vide themselves with a bag of this description.—Gardener's
Chronick.

Aso uea BLONDIN.—It apposes that the great
Blond, is not allowed to wear his laurels without shal-
-1 "Great English Rope-walker," rejoicing in the
hWtlying name of D'Alberte, is announced to appear at
the ROYPavilion Gardena, North Woolwich, on Monday,
on a rope 1,000 feet long and 150 high, and go through •
series of feats similar to those of the Niagare hero. The
acrobat world has viewed with uneasiness the monopoly
by Blow:bra of all the honours, and we shall now see whether
be will have to resign said thern.—Bra.
Tar KINGWOOD MURDZIL—LoraI John Russell,
as Secretary of State for Foreign Affair, has had the peen-
liar arcumstano, surrounding this terrible murderoekially
communicated to him by Sir Richard Mayne, and we under-
stand his lordship has expressed his anxious desire to assist
the police authorities in every way in his power to bring the
guilty patties to justice. With this object in view the noble
lord has conferred with Lord Wodehouse, the Under Seam
tary of State for Foreign Affair, and the remelt of the eon-
ferenoe, we have every reason to believe, has been the de-
itoh of minute instructions to the British Consul at
Nesdee to make stringent inquiries of the authorities there,
and also at Koniptein, in order to establish the identity of
the owner of the official book issued at the latter place to
Johann Carl Franz, supposed to be the man now under re-
mand to Horsemonger-lane Gaol on the charge of being on-
awned in the murder of Mn. Halliday. Although the
Metropolitan Folios authorities seemed for the last few days
to have ' last the ecest," it hes been followed up with great
success by the-. City Detective Force, who believe they are
now in 'on of mart nimble information both se re-
gards e present whereabouts of Krohn and his previous
association with the man who has been remanded by the
Reigate magistrates.
MURDER or • CHILD.—The town of Colchester
was yesterday thrown into • state of excitement consequent
on the disoof the body of • female (child, about rive
or six mouths In the River Cohn, near the Castle pub-
lic-house. North-street. It appears that Mr. Gardener, •
pupil of Mr. Servant, the architect, went down to the water-
side for the purpose of hiring • boat, when he saw the feet
of a child above the water. He drew it to the land, when
he found that it was the body of a fine healthy child, about
six mouths old, with • nick attached to the wrist by a
piece of blue rilaind—apparently a bonnet-string. The child
was warm on its discovery, and had apparently been in the
water only a abort time. No due to the perpetrator of the
horrible deed has yet been discovered. An inquest was
held in the afternoon, and adjourned till Monday.
BOILIZ EXPLostoN AND Loss or Lira.—Shortly
between o'clock on Thursday morning an accident involving
the loss of one life aud the serious injury of several other
persons occurred oo the premises occupied by Mmes. Stubbs,
cal sou, and Co., carrying on business as manufacture, of
indiarubber webbing, he., Wilmer's-gardens, High-street,
Holton. About fifty pecans, men, women, and children,
are employed at the works, and the time of commencing
their work is six o'clock. Shortly before that time seven of
the people had assembled in the engno-nom, which is con-
tiguous to the workshop, waiting admittance there, and
while the foreman was in the act of unlocking the door the
boiler burst, knocking down and seriously scalding six of
them, the foreman at the time (John Andrews) being com-
paratively unhurt. Hearing, however, the cries of one of them,
a young man named Farrell, who was nearest the boiler
at the time of the explosion, and who was lying on the
ground exposed to the full force of the steam, Andrews
nulled assistanoe, and succeeded in extricating him,
but not before he was himself severely &aided. Had the
accident occurred a few minutes later, the coorequenees
would in all probability have been still more disastrous, as
Ly that time the whole of the workpeople would have
arrived. As soon as possible medical assistance was pro-
cured, and the whole of the sufferers, with the exception
of Andrews, who was taken to hie own residence, were
conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where they still
remain. The young man Farrell lingered in the greatest
agony for about six hours, when death terminated his
sufferings. Au inquest is to be held on his body to-day.
The following are the names of the other injured persons :
William Ratcliff, aged 46 ; Samuel Gill, ; Sarah Sao-
dells, ; and Walter Hampton, 11, scalded severely ; sod
John Andrews, the foreman, and Alfred Bennett, 14,
slightly. The cause of the accident is at present un-
known. . .

DORCHENTEH G sot. —On Thumlay evening Bruce
alias Carpenter, the convict who escaped from Dorcheate;
Gaol the previous afternoon, was brought back by police-
oonstable Hymen, who had apprehended him in the neigh-
bourhood of Pudilletown.woost about five miles off. It was
found that be bad not sustained anything like the injury
which might be imagined from the desperate nature of his
leap, his foot only having been bruised in falling after his
summersault over the wall, and this be says be was afraid
would have prevented his proceeding farther. He is a
slight active mac, and expresses his intention of making
smother attempt.
