GERMANY.

FRANKFORT, JUNE 16.—Th;;;Opolists abroad have
a better game even than yours at home ; they profit by
their own monopolies and by yours too. Thus in the
budget for the kingdom of Wurtemberg, recently pub-
lished, the excess of revenue amounts in the last year
to 1,484,000 florins, or one-sixth of the receipts. This
is explained by the increase of 585,000 florins in the
Crown lands, owing to the advance in prices, an advance
occasioned by our demand ; for the harvests, although
not large, were fully, equal to meet the consumption.
The indirect taxes produced also 722,000 florins more,
than previously, owing to the increased prosperity
arising from the same cause. This has, in a
great measure, to be paid for by John Bull,
who not being allowed to buy when things are cheap
and plentiful, must pay the price asked for them
when they grow scarce, and not even have the consola-
tion of an increase of revenue. Nothing would be more
instructive that the publication of the dtails of foreign
trade for the last few years of the " Zoll Verein." The
rapid increase of the shipping of Prussia, which, down to
1836, had been constantly declining, and the increased
importation of manufactured goods will, when the pub-
lication takes place, be the best answer to the arguments
of those who pretend that the Continent in its dealings
with England has little to gain on the score of raw pro-
duce, and can only lose by taking our manufactures.
The Diet of Dusseldorf has referred an address to the
King, requesting him to set the Archbishop of Cologne
at liberty, or to bring him to trial, by a majority of 45
to 33. The President, Prince Salms, took rather a con-
spicuous part in the proceedings, by refusing the mover
of the address leave to reply, as well as leave to speak to
several members; The progress of the railroads is a sub-
ject which at present excites even, more interest, and a
great spirit of rivalry is shown between the different
States, who are anxious to secure their share of these
lines of communication. A comparative statement of
.the number of passengers on the principal lines in the
month of May gives the following results :
Population. Population. Passengers,
Vienna 350,000 Brun 60,000 22,175
Munich 100,000 Augsburg 36,000 31,622
Nuremberg 40,500 Furth 14,000 34,130
Mannheim 20,600 Heidelberg 13,430 39,312
Leipzig 48,000 Dresden 68,000 40,591
Magdeburg 43,000 Leipzig 48,000 51,141
Berlin 300,000 Potsdam 26,000 67,515
Maintz 40,500 Frankfort 60,000 83,111
The strictness of the law respecting passports evi-
dently militates seriously against travelling in Austria.

THE EXECUTIVE BONY TO ALL THE OTTOMANS IN CRET E
Countrymen,—lt is now two months since, being armed, we
have raised suppliant cries to the three great Powers of Eng-
land, France, and Russia, demanding, in the name of humanity
that they would furnish us with the rights of men. Since
then, countrymen, we have expressed either viva voce, or by,
writing private or published, those sincere sentiments which'
our actions have sufficiently confirmed. From what we can
perceive, however, an insidious policy keeps you separate from
your own interests.
Already a governing body, both consultative and executive,
has been formed, in order to look after the common interests of
our country, and to watch over the tranquillity, good order,
and prosperity of its inhabitants, whose duty it considers it to
be to invite you officially not to leave your houses and posses-
sions to the discretion of the first corner, that not being just,
whilst the Government takes care of the general interests of
the country as well as of your private affairs. As you well
know, officious persons exist, enemies of our country, who,
whilst they avoid the attention of those who watch, find plea-
sure in troubling your affairs in order to give motives for scandal.
The Government invites you to come forth fearlessly with
your families, and look after your own property, both real and
personal. It suffices only that you behave decently and
honestly, not manifesting any hostile disposition towards us,
tor you must lie well assured that our demands are made as
much with a view to your interests as to our own.
For your further assurance it is necessary to inform you, that
in the -Reports we have addressed to the three great Powers,
we have stated, " that the Cretans do not desire to drive out.
nor do any injury to the Ottoman inhabitants of that country,
but, on the contrary, that they may continue to reside in the
country which gave them birth, and there enjoy their property,
as well as the same rights and privileges as the Christians them-
selves enjoy without any exception.
Such, 0 countrymen ! Such are our sentiments. Do not
allow yourselves to be deceived by those whose interest it is to
see both you and ourselves disappear from the land of Crete,
the dear country of our birth.

RESIGNATION OF LORD PLUNKET.—The
resignation of Lord Plunket—and at this particular juncture—
has filled the Tory ranks with exultation and delight. We ari
not at all surpri'ed at it. In the lottery of politics they hay
drawn a most capital prize—or, rather, the prize has been put
into their hands, without ever passing through the process .of
the wheel. As to the trash which we read in the Tory papers,
and which we find fluttering upon every Tory lip we meet,
that the movement has been made with a view to provide for
Sir John Campbell—to give him a retiring pension of 4,000/.
a-year, we repudiate it with the utmost scorn. What is 4,000/.
a-year to a man of Sir John Campbell's practice and sta.
tion ? Do the persons who put such idle rumours into circu-
lation imagine that such a man would lend himself to such an
arrangement, or that an administration which has been
distinguished above all others for retrenchment, eco-
nomy, and an uncompromising resistance to all schemes
of the kind—could be influenued by any such motives ?
Again, as to the pretence which is put forward. and which the
Tories have made their cheval de battaile, that the present
move is an indication of weakness, it is equally ridiculous. It
is, in short, an evidence of durability and strength. We re-
gret, we need not repeat, that it has been made. We think
it should not be, but it it evidetitly one of those movements
which are growing out of the general arrangement, in order to
guard against the inconveniences of re-appointments after the
new Parliament shall have assembled. They have Committed
a gross b!under who imagine that, divided as we are—dis-
tracted as we are—there is not still a point of reunion. It has
been ingeniously hit. The Tories are rampant with joy, in the
expectation of insulting the Whig nominee for the Chancellor
—the Whigs are indignant at what they consider• an affront
to their foremost man. Both parties of the Bar remember
the treatment which Lord Plunket received from their Eng-
lish brethren, when he was made Master of the Rolls in Eng-
land, during Mr. Canning's administration. Let the incoming
Chancellor, whoever he is, beware of the application of the
lex talionis to his own case. And this we say, irrespectively
of parties. Sir Edward Sugden will encounter the same op-
position as Sir John Campbell. An Irishman is never made
Chancellor of England—and when an attempt was made to
appoint the first man in Ireland to the Office of Master of the
Rolls, it was resisted, and effectually resisted, by the English
bar, We are quite sure that a similar game can be played in
Ireland, and with similar success.—Dublin Evening Post.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
'1: ATTERSALL' S. —4ONDAY.
The Newcastle Races, and preparations for the coming
elections, combined to thin the attendance yesterday, and
to make business dull in the extreme. The Goodwood Cup
alone exhibited any change of importance. In the first
part of the day Deception and Lanercost were backed at
7 to 1 each, and a point less taken once about the
mare ; Colwick then came into play, and had
so many supporters that 8 to 1 was taken,
making him at the close quite as good a favourite as
Lanercost. Deception receded with ominous rapidity.
The acceptance for the Goodwood Stakes closes this day,
and although all the heavy weights are scratched except
St. Francis, Charles the Twelfth, and Arctic, is ex-
pected to fall little short of sixty. Bellona and Welfare,
as the quotations will show, are the favourites, but at
present there are very few books open. In all other re-
spects the beitibg was devoid of interest.

KIRKWALL, JUNE 7.—A melancholy occur-
rence has taken place among some of our northern isle
neighbours. A boat was found driven ashore on Thurs-
day last on the Island of Stornsay, which, on examina-
den; 'was 'fihnid ,to belong to the Island of May. It would
appear that the boat was on her way to Kirkwall,
.with
a crew and passengers amounting to about eleven per-
sons. It is conjectured she must have been upset in the
Frith, and that all have perished. Her sails were set
when She was discovered, though under water. The
particulars have not reached. A pack merchant, his
wife, and child, were on board.—John o'Groat Journal.
APPALLING ACCIDENT.—On Monday even-
ing last a stone-mason, named John Finch, of Standish
village, whilst at his work at Worthing Paper-mills, was
engaged in making some alterations near to a large water-
wheel, and was in the act of removinc, a plank for a
scaffold, when he was suddenly caught by the wheel, and
instantaneously dashed to pieces. As soon as the wheel
could be stopped, the shattered remains of his body were
gathered upon a stretcher and conveyed home. The body
presented a most frightful appearance; his head and arms
were cut off, and other parts being dreadfully mangled.
The poor fellow has left a wife and six little children to
lament his untimely end.—Bolton Free Press.
PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE —ln the afternoon
of Thursday, the 10th instant, whilst twenty-two men
and two girls were at work in a pit at Cardmaker's Pool
Colliery, about five miles from Haverfordwcst, the water
broke in upon them from an old pit, and with such ra-
p:dity that immediately it was about sixteen feet deep.
Through this twenty of the men were drawn up by a
chain, leaving the remaining two men and the two girls
in the pit. Providentially, they were able to gain a spot
out of the reach of the water, although in a state border-
ing on despair, and not knowing how soon it would reach
them. About ten o'clock the light which they had went
out, and they were thus left to spend the night in
total darkness. . In the mean time those who had escaped
assisted by others, used every exertion to reduce the
water, unconscious whether those left in the pit
were alive or dead. They thus continued during the
whole of the night ; and to their great joy, about eleven
o'clock the following morning, the two men and two
girls were drawn up out of the pit, without having sus-
tained any injury whatever.

Patrick Cahill has been committed for trial at
Liverpool for the wilful murder of Eli Robinson, steward
of the ship United States, just arrived from America.
The prisoner was a steerage passenger, and stabbed the
deceased 'several times with a knife, for which the only
provocation seems to have been a refusal on the part of
his victim to give him tobacco. The prisoner had con-
ducted himself properly' during the voyage, but seemed
to have some heavy affliction weighing on his mind.
The strike of the journeymen hatters in Lan-

weeks, and at last have acre led to the masters' terms. It
is calculated that no fewer than 5,000 persons have been
out of employment for the above period, and that up-
wards of 40,0001. in wages have been kept out of cir-
culation.

LEITH.—A cargo of Egyptian beans has just
been landed at this port, ex the Alchymist, Captain
Scollay, from Alexandria. This is deserving of notice,
as being not only the first importation direct from
Egypt to Leith, and, consequently the commencement of
our trade with the Pacha—but as being a gratifying in-
dication of the extension of our commerce. This cargo,
which consists of nearly 2,000 quarters, is imported by
Mr. Thomson of this town, a gentleman whose commer-
cial enterprise has benefited, in no small degree, the
trade of the port.—Edinburgh Chronicle.
BRAZILIAN SUGARS.— When the Cutlers'
Company, at their first meeting, petitioned Parliament to
reduce the duties of Brazilian produce in March last, it
was contended by one of the monopolists that the Bra-
zilian sugar was very inferior to Colonial sugar. At a
meeting of the Company held on Monday, a merchant,
who imported largely of Brazilian produce, produced
five samples of sugars from that place, with the prices
their broker asked for them in Liverpool (exclusive of
duty) ; the lowest was a very good sugar, 18s. per cwt.,
and the best, equal to the finest Colonial, at 275. per cwt.,
which, with the proposed duty of 365., could ln sold for
7d. per lb. We could not buy the same sugar under 9d.
or 10d. per lb. He also produced a sample of Brazilian
coffee, at 411 per lb. ; the same coffee is at present sub-
ject to ls. 3d. per lb. duty. With such startling facts
constantly exhibited to the public, we are surprised there
can be one sane individual to advocate the monopolists'
cause.

AMERICAN FISHING. VERY LIKE A
WIIALE.—We take from the Buffalo Commercial Ad-
v rtiser the followinc, letter, dated Tonawanda, May 24,
from a piscatory gentlemanb to a " Brother Bob " in this
city, describing an amusing manner of taking the
finny tribe, presuming the process may be new to
many of our readers :—" I have just returned from
rare fishing sport—catching bass in a canoe. You
know I have had the impudence, when inquired of, to
say that black bass were so plentiful here, that they
would voluntarily jump into a canoe when row e 1
or paddled near the shore. Though I have en-
joyed this singular amusement every spring, for
ten years, the fact is so incredible— so big a
fish story—that I have avoided telling it whenever I
could. Now if you doubt, you have an opportunity of
besting its truth by coming here ; and you may bring a
dozen witnesses at my expense, unless I prove to your
entire satisfaction that what I here state is literally true
—that you may catch a good string of the best fish (bass
and spotted pike) without any fraud upon them what-
ever, either by cheating them with a covered hook or
otherwise, but by their own voluntary act. For several
evenings we have caught from ten to thirty of an even-
ing, by simply paddling our canoe within about fifteen
feet from the shore, about thirty rods and back. It is
an agreeable and exciting amusement to see ten or twelve
bass in the air at one moment, jumpling like colts, some
entirely over the canoe, while others startle one egre-
giously with a rap aside of the head. Come and see for
yourself."
A TIPPERARY SHEEP-STEALER.—Not many
years ago there was in the county of Tipperary, a sheep-
stealer, as notorious as Borrowsky himself. .It is easy
enough to carry off, once you can catch it, a sheep in
Erris, for let it be ever so fat, it is not much larger than
a hare ; but a wether, fed on the rich plains of the most
fertile of all Irish counties, is not so easily carried away,
body and bones. But our Munster plunderer was a huge
fellow, with all the bone and muscle of a Tipperary man,
fed up to all his capability and vigour on the stolen
mutton. He could, and often did, carry off from the
midst of a flock a wether of twenty-eight pounds the
quarter, and bring it home for the feasting of himself
and his family. His practice was, to tie the sheep by
his feet, put his head between the hind legs, and thus
with the sheep, still alive, dangling head downwards, at
his back, home trudged, in the dark night, Terry Ryan,
and so he thinned many flocks, and none but himself and
family were the wiser. In this way he had, on a dark
night, got into Squire —'s deer park, and seized a
noble mutton, and tied and slung it over his head. Thus
he came to the park wall, which was about eight feet
high, and still, weighted as he was, ventured to climb,
as often he had done before. And now he is on the
top of the wall, and pondering how best he may descend,
when the sheep makes a sudden struggle, his footing
gives way—down he goes, but, as he goes, the sheep
falls inside, he outside. The rope is a good one, that
keeps sheep and thief together ; neither can touch the
bottom—both struggle—the rope presses the fellow's
windpipe—the sheep kicks and so does Terry, but it is
soon over with him. Next morning the herd found Terry
dead as mutton, but the wether, though a little apoplectic,
still a sheep and no mutton, and so proved itself the
Jack Ketch of a thief, and the avenger of its race.—

MODERN DANCINO.—We go to a ball. Mercy
upon-u's I is thii what you- call dancing ? A man of 30 years
of age, and with legs as thick as a gate-post, stands up in the
middle of the room, and gapes and fumbles with his-loveli
looking all the time as if he was burying his grandmother.
a given signal, the unwieldly animal puts himself into motion ;
he throws out his arms, crouches up his shoulders, and without
moving a muscle of his face, kicks out his legs, to the manifest
'risk of the bystanders, and then goes back to his place, puffing
ind blowing like an otter after a half hour's bust. And this is

SIR ROBERT PEEL ON THE
CLOSE CONNECTION BETWEEN AGRICUL-
TURE AND MANUFACTURES.
We find, in =the 29th volume of Hansard's Parlia-
mentary Debates, which is quite a text-book for the
opinions expressed by statesmen, past and present, on
the questions debated in Parliament, the following sen-
sible and statesmanlike speech delivered by Sir Robert
Peel when the Corn-law of 1815 was under discussion in
the House of Commons :--
" Sir Robert Peel was anxious to correct a mistake
that seemed to prevail in the House, that the interests
of the landholder and of the manufacturer were con-
flicting and incompatible. They were, in the view
of enlightened policy, the same ; and the success
or ruin of the one, was the success or ruin
of the other ; inasmuch as the country generally
had been enriched by the sale of our manufactures,
the landholders had received their share of the
wealth and advantages. It had been the wise policy of
former Governments to keep tre.price of the chief article
of subsistence as low as possible ; upon this principle
Mr.. Pitt had acted with success, but the system was now
about to be changed. It was undoubtedly true that the
rmt of the land would be diminished by the unlimited
importation of corn ; but if the resolutions upon the table
passed in their present shape, the manufactures of the
towns would be destroyed, and the land mustconsequently
be depreciated ; corn might begrown, but paupers would
be the only customers for it. Tr•vvas, in truth, impossible
to separate the two interests. , The value of land within
memory had increased in some places threefold ; the
owners had derived their benefit from the political state
of things, and now they must suffer the depreciation pro-
duced by an alteration in that political state. With respect
to our manufacturers, it was allowed, that during the
war our triumphant situation on the sea had enabled us to
force a trade without rivals; but now we were in open
competition, it would be maness in us to throw fresh ob-
stacles in the way of those who had so many to contend
against. In his opinion, it might be fairly argued, that
the manufacturer had been the great benefactor of the
landed interest. He did not say that his design was to
serve the landowner. That had been the effect of the
flourishing state of our manufactures, and in the difficul-
ties now to be encountered the landlord ought to par-
ticipate. By the measures now upon the table the wise
system pursued for years was about to be subverted, and
the labourers prevented from putting the real wealth of
the country into ,that marketable shape by which this
country had hitherto been made the envy of surrounding
nations."

" What !" we think we hear some of our readers
" What ! did Sir Robert Peel make such a speech
as this ? How, in the interval between 1815 and 1841,
his opinions on the Corn-law must have changed !"
Yes, Sir Robert Peel did make the above speech • but
it was Peel the first, not Peel the second ; it was Peel the
father, and not Peel the son. He had not forgot " the pit
whence he was dug, nor the rock whence he was hewn."
Manufactures had made him what he was ; and while he
was willing to recognise and maintain the importance of
agriculture, he was too sensible of the benefits which trade

•
and commerce had conferred on the land ; too well acquain-
ted, in short, with the true interests of the country, to allow
the landed few to sacrifice the manufacturing many by
establishing a monopoly in the supply of the people's
food. Not so Peel the son. He, for party purposes,
supports the landed at the cost,- probably by the ruin, of
the manufacturing interest.—Liverpool Albion.

PICTURE MOVE IN ►SILK.—This picture,
when completed, will be, perhaps, the most extraordinary
production of the art of weaving ever accomplished. It

is intended to be presented to her Majesty. The design,
which has met • with the approbation of several of the
Ministers,. is a work of very great merit. The de-
signer is a young, and, it is believed, self-taught English
artist of the name of Voyer, who is principally employed
in making patterns for paper-hangers and calico-printers.
The object that the Spitalfields Broad Silk Weavers' As-
sociation have in view is to show to the world that our
weavers are equal, if not superior, to those of Lyons,
who have lately produced a very masterly specimen of
their art. Mr. Voyer's drawing, which has never been
correctly described, is in Indian ink, and the picture,
when completed, will be in a self colour, resembling a
mezzotinto engraving. The design is what is called
aerial. The foreground (if there can be a ground to an
aerial picture) is occupied by Mars and Neptune, with
two bee-hives in the centre. On the side of Mars, there
are medallions of Wellington, Abercrombie, Moore,
'Wolfe, &c.; on that of Neptune, Nelson, Collingwood,
Jervi, Howe, &c., all of which are good likenesses. In
the middle distance there is a portrait of the Queen
sitting ; by her side stands the Prince Albert, one hand
resting on a marble slab, the other holding a sword. On
the left 'of this group is a figure of Time, with his scythe,
but between him and the Royal pair a guardian angel
intervenes. In the centre a dove is seen descending upon
the Queen and her consort. In the extreme distance
Windsor Castle is seen, or rather indicated, on the sides
of which are groups of aerial beings, intended to repre-
sent Honour and Harmony. The picture is cut off from
the border bylines. The border itself is a brocade in
the gorgeous style and colours of Louis XIV. It consists
principaly of foliage, interspersed with bouquets of
flowers in all colours. In the centre of one side are seen
the Royal anus of England, and on the other the insir:da
of the order of the Garter. The picture will be
feet long. The expense in manufacturing this'wonderful
al Production of the loom will amount to so-
e thousand
_pounds.

Sin P.OBERT PEEL AND THE NON-INTRU-
sroNrs-,es,—We have just learned, on what we consider
goo.; authority, that the Non-Intrusionists have expe-
Ilenced a great mortification in the reception which Mr.
Dunlop, their accredited delegate, met with a few days
ago, at an interview with Sir Robert Peel. The lion.
Baronet, greatly to his credit and that of his party,
stated, in the most decided terms, that he would do
nothing for the Church until they first obeyed the law,
and rescinded all their illegal proceedings regarding
the enactment of the Veto regulations, and the deposi-
tion of the Strathbogie Ministers. Mr. Dunlop an-
sweredifitat Parliament might do whatever they pleased
with th endowments, but that the Church would never
retrace their steps, whatever might be the consequences ;
and thus the interview terminated.—Scottish Pilot.

THE COUNTY.—Addresses from Lord and Col.
Lowther were issued on Thursday last, to the Electors of
the County of Westmorland. They are exceedingly
savage productions, and.speak of the present Government
in language which has not hitherto proceeded from the
same quarter. Ten years' absence from power has made
these nabobs nasty ; but the country will keep them wait-
ing in spite of their longings for place. The best efforts
of the Liberal interests in the country will, we have every
reason to hope, be directed to the removal of these mis-
representatives shortly. It will be a severe struggle when-
ever it takes place ; but truth is great and must prevail.

DIRECTIONS FOR STUDYING VOYAGES AND
TRAVELS.—In reading books of travels for myself, 1 have
always desired to be placed by the author, as much as possible,
in his own situation ; to be brought, in short, by his descrip-
tions, as nearly as can be, to the condition of being his travel-

ling companion ; to see things in the same order of succession
as he himself saw them ; to be made acquainted with the mi-
nuter incidents of his life, as well with the more prominent ;
to become familiar with the inconveniences to which he was
subjected, as well as with the pleasures he enjoyed; to partake
of his indignation at the wrong. as fully as with big admiration
of the right •, to be, in short, continually present with him in all
his vicissitudes, and to sympathize with him in all his joys and
sorrows, by whatever cause produced. For this reason, I have
always preferred the form of the actual diary, in which the in-
cidents and feelings are transferred to paper while fresh and
new.—Buekingliam's America.
THE LANCASHIRE FACTORIES.—Of the

1,123 cotton manufactories in 1839, 820 were in Salford-hun-
dred ; 163 in Blackburn ; 71 in West Derby ; 39 in Amoun-
derness; 16 in Leyland; and 14 in Lonsdale, exclusive of 62
unoccupied mills. The number of persons employed in the
cotton trade of the county in 1835, was 122,991 ; in 1838 and
1839, 152.150, of whom 67,784 were young persons, betwixt
the ages of 13 and 18. About fourth-fifths of the cotton trade
of the kingdom centres in Lancashire ; and in 1825 the capital
vested in buildings and machinery in that district was est:mated
at 8,000,0001. The declared value of cotton goods exported in
1814, was 17.241,884/., and twist and yarns, 1814, 2,791,247/.,
in 1838, the value of cotton goods exported was 16,700,913/. ;
and of twist and yarn, 7,431,844. In 1838 and 1839, the
woollen manufactories in the county were 96 ; number
of hands 4,957, of whom 1,727 were young persons :
silk manufactories, 31; hands, 5,591, of whom 2,143 were
young persons : flax concerns, 16 ; hands, 2,881, of whom
1,392 were young persons ; worsted, 12; hands, 924, of whom
418 were young persons. The total number of manufactories
was 1,278, principally in Salford and Blackburn hundreds;
total hands employed, 166,493, of whom 63,364 were young
persons from 13 to 18. The number of unoccupied mills was
192 ; and of mills from which the returns were incomplete,
10. The number of calico printing works is about 75 ;
bleach-works, 50; hat-manufactories, 80; collieries, 330. In
31 of the parishes there are cotton and other mills; in 16
cotton-weaving prevails ; and in 21 there are no manufactures.
The quantity of yarn spun daily in cotton-mills in Lancashire
by steam, is as much as would have been spun with the distaff
and spindle by 38,000,000 persons. The yearly consumption
of coal by all the steam-engines in the country is about
3,000,000 tons.
Chartists, be assured of this fact, that violence
ever has defeated, and ever will defeat, its own ends,
Your physical-force confederates have driven away many
who would otherwise have joined your ranks ; wise poli-
ticians look for relief to' the pen, not the bludgeon ; to
the understandings of men, not to their passions ; the
reign of terror was followed by the dominion of anar-
chy, which proved the stepping-stone to despotism.

I WEEKLY CALEN DAR OF OPERA.-

TION S. - -
(From the Gardeners' Chronicle.)
The lag continuance of dry weather has been ex-
tremely favourable to the production of insects, f'or the
destruction of which every known means ought to he
adopted ; not only to stop their immediate depredations
but to prevent their increase. We are convinced that
insects in gardens, like weeds, may be rendered com-
paratively scarce by adopting prompt measures'for thair
extirpation the moment they are detected, as well as
preventive ones ; one of the principal of which is clean-
liness. We have seen wall-trees this season, at several
places, dreadfully infested with insects, mildew, and
blister blight ; as our own are perfectly clean and healthy,
although in a low and cold situation, and as nothing
detracts so much from the appearance of a garden as
the ravages, of insects, particularly on wall-trees, we
recommend the adoption of a plan we have practised for
several years past, previously to which the trees suf-
fered every summer as much as any we hale seen. To a
gallon of lime, a pound of sulphur, and the same pan,
tity of soft soap, add water sufficient to make it of the
consistence of thick whitewash, with which coat the
trees all over with a brush, missing no part. As soon
as the trees are pruned this may be performed by boys,
or when little else can be done ; and during summer, in
dry weather, sow lime under the wall-trees, and keep
the surface of the ground constantly stirred with the
rake ;by these, means we seldom have green-fly, and
never red-spider, until the season is too far advanced for
them to do much harm.

INN-DOOR DEPARTMENT.

Pinery—Give the plants regular supplies of water ;
fruiters may have manure-water every other time, and
the younger plants occasionally. Syringe over-head on
fine mornings, or early in the afternoon before the house
is shut up, excepting any that may be in bloom • moisten
also with the syringe the surface of the tan-beds every
afternoon in dry weather ; remove root-suckers as they
appear. Young plants will now be growing very fast :
do not allow their roots to become matted before they
are shifted to larger pots. This can be readily ascer-
tained by turning one out of its pot : we advise them to
be potted whenever they seem to require it, without re-
ference to any stated period at this season.
Vinery.—Keep the house containing ripe fruit dry, and
give abundance of air. Remove laterals, but not so
close as to cause the bottom or main eyes to break. Con-
tinue to thin carefully the berries as they advance, and
support the shoulders of the bunches. Give judicious
syringings whilst the fruit is in a young state, but tense
before it becomes nearly swelled, and avoid wetting the
fruit at all times as much as possible.
.

12“ Melons.—At this warm season the linings are apt to
be forgotten ; this should not be, nor coverings entirely
dispensed with, as chills are the primary cause of .mil-
dew and canker. In pruning, remove the most robust
and the weekest shoots ; the intermediate ones are usu-
ally the most fruitful. When the fruit is set, prevent it
coming in contact with the damp soil by placing a piece
of slate or glass between them ; attend to air, and water
as before.

Cucumbers.—Continue to supply them plentifully with
water, and remove superfluous or barren shoots, and had
leaves. If the plants which have been bearing during
the spring months begin to decline, they may be pruned
back, covered lightly with light rich earth (-Accept the
points of the shoots, and kept close for a shoit time ; by
this means they will soon return to a vig")rous bearing
state. Those under hand-lights may be, allowed to run
out as soon as sufficiently advanced by tilting the glasses
on bricks or small pots.
