ECONOMICAL GREEN HOUSE.—Much of the
produce of the green house may be procured, at half the ex-
pense, by the use of a pit, which requires no other glass than
the sashes which form its roof. The amusement of the pro-
ducts which such a pit, in the hands of an ingenious amateur,
is calculated to afford, are almost without end. Small salad-
ing may be produced in it throughout the whole winter. Chi-
cory roots (though this may be accomplished in a common
cellar) may be made to throw out their blanched leaves, which
form the most delightful of all winter salads; tart rhubarb or
sea-kale may be forced in pots; as may parsley, mint, and
other herbs. Bulbs may be forced ; and a bloom of China
roses may be kept up throughout the winter. But, perhaps,
the most important use to which such a pit can be applied, in
a small suburban garden, is to preserve throughout the winter,
and to bring forward in spring pelargoniums, fuchsias, salvias,
calceolarias, verbenas, and other fine exotic flowers, and also
half-hardy and tender annuals, for turning out into the flower
garden, or into the miscellaneous border, in the beginning of
summer.—Loudon's Suburban Gardener, Na. 1.

The 2d Battalion of the Grenadier Regiment of
Cluards was inspected yesterday morning in Hyde Park, by
Geiaeral Lord Hill, the Commander-in-Chief. The battalion,
under the command of Colonel D'Oyley, arrived in the Park
at half.vast nine o'clock, and took up its ground in open co-
lumn right i'ta front, wheeled into line, and took open order.
General Lord J-lill, attended by his staff, and accompanied by
several General Officers, arrived in the Park and took his
station in front of Olt: centre of the line, when the battalion
presented arms. The Commander-in-Chief, escorted by a
grand military cortege, rideto the right of the lines, passed
down in front and up the roar, and took up his original station.
The battalion then took close or;ler, wheeled back into open
column, and marched past the Rorie wing-General in slow and
quick time, and subsequently marched to the original ground,
and proceeded to perform several evolutions and maoceuvres
with great celerity and precision. The battalion then tired by
platoons, by grand divisions, by wings, and concluded-by firing
a volley. The troops then charged in line, halted, took open
order, and gave the general salute. The Commander-in-
Chief then rode forward, and expressed in unqualified terms
his approbation of the steadiness and discipline of the battalion.
