sale. The prices obtained for sheep were a little higher
than those given at the recent fairs in that neighbourhood,
while the prices of cattle remained nearly the same.

The' following fact is deserving of record, as
an interesting addition to what has hitherto been disco-
vered on the subject of vegetable physiology, and as enabling
the lovers of flowers to prolong for a day the enjoyment of
their short-lived beauty. Most flowers begin to fade after
being kept twenty-four hours in water; a few may be re-
vived by substituting fresh water; but all (the most Ingo-
eious, such as the poppy, and perhaps, one or two others,
excepted) may be completely restored by the use of hot
water. For this purpose place the flowers in scalding
water, deep enough to cover about one-third of the length
of the stem, and by the time the water has become cold,
the flowers will 'become erect and flesh ; then cut off the
codled ends and put them into cold water.

SAINT ANDREW'S DAY.—A select but
social band of Caledonians dined yesterday, at Mr. Emans,
Edinburgh Castle, Strand, to celebrate the anniversary of
their titular Saint. A smoking Haggis and singed heads,
for which this house is celebrated, as usual graced, the
table, together with a profusion of English fare. The even-
ing was passed in the utmost harmony and good fellowship,
and-many national and other songs were given in excellent
styles by several of the company, who were on this occasion
gathered together for the sake of " Auld lang syne."
NroTTINOHANI LACE MAKERS._A meet-
ing of the machine-holders and lace-makers of that branch,
in number about 700, took place on Monday last, at the
Dolphin public-house, Chapel Bar, Nottingham, and af-
terwards adjourned to the open valley of the park, near
the town, the purpose of adopting measures towards
checking the glut of lace in the market, which has para-
lyzed trade. The most important step taken, was that re-
lative to restricting the period of working to eight hours
Per day, or four hours for each individual, who may re-
lieve each other in turn. And in order to know how such
a plan would be rendered essentially available, a Commit-
tee was chosen and appointed, who are empowered to call
a meeting at the earliest opportunity, and report the pro-
gress that has awaited] Owir inqUiries. Another meet-
ing is expected to be held next week.—Nottingham
Gazette.
