University, and Rector of Alderly, Cheshire, has been ap-
pointed to the vacant see of Norwich, Mr. Stanley proceeded
to the degree of B. A. in 1802, when his name appeared in
the list of Wranglers ; M. A. 1805.

late Curate of St. Botolph, in this town, has been presented
to the vicarage of Walsall, vacant upon the resignation of the
Rev. J. Baron ; patron, the Rail of Bradford. We under-
stand that Mr. Fisk had no personal knowledge of his Lord-
ship, and that Lord Radford, in offering the living to Mr.
Fisk, was influenced only by the desire of using his patronage
in advancing the true interests of the Church. Mr. Fisk re-
quested some days to consider of the offer, and having at
length accepted it, he will now resign the rectory of Darlas-
ton into the hands of the trustees, the patrons of the living, of
whom the late Rev. Charles Simeon was one.

of Elsworth, Cambridgeshire, vacant by the death of the Rev.
M. Holvvorthy.

nors head-master of the grammar-school, Wakefield, on the

tuted by the Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol to the

was instituted by tha Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol
to the vicarage of Arlingham, in the Diocese of Gloucester
and Bristol, by the death of the Rev. John Sayer :—Patro-
ness, Miss Elizabeth Hodges, of Thornbury.
We understand that the Lord Bishop of Gloucester and
Bristol intends to hold his next General Ordination on Trinity
Sunday, at St. Margaret's Church, in Westminster.
The Ladies of the British Church at Havre presented last
week to their Minister, the Rev. George M. Jukes a very
costly and beautiful gown, as a token of their esteem and re.
gard for him.

GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR

THE WEEK.

(From the Gardeners' Magazine.)
The change in the weather has set gardeners on the move a
little, and we recommend our readers to examine the entire
directions for the last six weeks, and lose no time in doing all
that remains undone.

Weeding is, and will continue to be, a most important and
not to be neglected task; vegetation will be rapid, every day,
will produce its work, and not an hour is to be lost.

Plant all k'nds of vegetables for general crops, all the cab-
bage tribe, lettuce, cauliflower, brocoli, &c.
CELERY.—Prick out that which is large enough two inches
apart, to advance for planting out.
PEAS.—Stick those which require it, still sow the large
kind for succession crops ; earth up on dry days those which
are sufficiently high to require it.
POTATOES. —No time is to be lost in completing the planting
for late crops. Few ought to have any out of the ground after
such a long dry favourable season.
BEANS.—PIant a few white blossom and green Genoa; they
are small, but finely flavoured while young. Earth up those
beans which are sufficiently advanced.
CARROTS, PARSNIPS, ONIONS, and SMALL CROPS must be
carefully and promptly cleaned from weeds, which grow faster
than either, and would soon retard, if not destroy them. Larger
crops may be hoed well.
Vines propagate by cuttings and layers, they will take root
almost immediately. Dress the vine borders with good rich
compost.

WALL FRUIT.-Blossoms must be protected carefully from
the frost by old netting, bunting, or other light covering, which
can be removed easily.
AURICULAS are now expanding their blooms. They who de-
sire to have these flowers in perfecticn mutt carefully dispose
the pips by bending down the outside ones to give roopi to the
inner buds, the smallest of which may in many cases be ad-
vantageously removed by a pair of tweezers, as those which
are manifestly crowded and stunted will never open in time to
be useful ; cover all that are under hand-glasses from the
effects of the sun. If any one pip has opened very much
i❑ advance of the rest, so as to be spent before they are
likely to overtake it, remove it at once. Cover up warm of
a night.

TENDER ANNUALS.-Prick out in pots or frame= to encou-
rage their growth, and strengthen them, for planting in the
borders or potting.
Tut.trs may now without disadvantage have any warm
gentle showers, but if there be any indication of a frost, let the
mats at night be doubled, and reach the ground, .the water
which will lie in the heart must not be allowed to freeze, as it
would inevitably damage the bloom, or if that has advanced,
cause the stem perhaps to die off in that part, tins destroying
the bloom altogether. If by any chance your foliage is fro-
zen, water them all over, and keg) off the
~sun until they hare
recovered.

Roes of almost every kind may he forced, to brill.-a them
forwarder to a given time, several seasons of bloom by those
out of doors may be secured by different periods or different
modes of pruning. Those now cut back to the last two eyes,
or the last one, which has not begun to swell, will be ajert-
night or three weeks later than such as were cut a month ago.
GRAVEL WALKA should, if not done before, be now turned,
dressed, and rolled, when necessary.
LAWNS.—Mow in wet weather once a fortnight or even
oftener, if it grow long, while the growth is rapid, the colour
and texture will suffer. Roll also a day or two before each
mowing.

BORDERS AND CLustrs.—Clean and dress, take out dead
and damaged plants, clean and cut into moderate compass
spreading herbaceous plants ; keep all plants mid shrubs with-
in proper dimensions by reducing them to handsome shapes,
and when too large remove them, and replace them with some-
thing more appropriate.
Stake standard shrubs, roses, &c.
ing plants which require support.
Greenhouse Plants, whenever you can conveniently accom-
plish it, should have all the benefit of open air, remove the
plots out altogether, let them have the benefit of a warm
shower ; this will increase the beauty of every pinnt that will
bear it.

A DURABLE ItoAn.--The road made by Appius
the censor from Rome to Terracina, and afterwards continued
to Brundusium, is still, after twenty-three centuries, one of the
most remarkable monuments of the Roman power and greatness.
A German quack, who lately left this countrs• with
ample means of spending the remainder of his days in affluence
at home, it is said always gives as his first toast after dinner,
" the health of the credulous nobility, gentry, ladies, ani
mer-
chants of England."

We have the satisfaction of stating that men arc
now at work in all the collieries on the Tyne and Wear, ex-
cept Cramlington and Seghill, and at both those concerns the
owners have a considerable stock of coals on band. The strike,
therefore, partial as it was, may now be considered at an end.
—Tyne Mercury.

Letters from Dantzic, under date of the 7th inst.,
say that w sudden thaw set in on the sth inst., the ice on the
Vistula broke up immediately, and on the 7th the navigation
of the river was already open.—Borsen-halte.
Cider is now become an important article of export
from this county, and within the past week a quantity has been
shipped for Glasgow and other places. It is scarcely more
than three years since the cider of Devonshire was first intro-
duced iuto that part of Scotland, when little idea was enter-
tained that the speculation would answer; the trial, however,
succeeded, and it has become a regular and increasing article
of import into that place.—Devonport Telegraph.
Owing to the extremely cold weather the mackerel
fishery has been hitherto unusually backward and unpro-
ductive.

We learn from Berlin, that the Prince Royal of
Sweden is about to visit that Court. The malady of M. An-
cillon, which has already been announces, Las been greatly
increased by a mistake that had well nigh been fatal. A
medicament, intended to be used as a lotion: was administered
to him by his attendant as a dose.
