HORTICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT.

AS Spring approaches, the laryw of destructive In-
sects are propagated in infinite multitudes, and with amazing
rapidity, to the great injury of the young shoots of Trees, Vines,
Plants, and indeed every species of vegetation put into motion and
growth by the genial influence of the season. These anbnalculas
make the greatest havoc hi forcing houses, wall trees, hot frames,
Sts as they can endure any degree of heat, bet speedily perish from
moisture. By the use of READ'S PATENT GARDEN
SYRINGE, these insects may be easily destroyed, and plants of
the most delicate description preserved in a healthy and thriving
state. Water or any other liquid may be applied in various,
densities, from a fine dew to that of a powerful current. The
Horticultural Society of London have conferred their Medal on
the Patentee for the invention, and it is highly recommended by all
experienced persons to the attention of Noblemen, Gentlemen,
Nurserymen, and every person to whom successful gardening is an
object either of pleasure, luxury, or profit.

Circus, Piccadilly, London.

In addition to the above salaries and allowances paid in 1792, the
Judges of the several Courts were remunerated also b fees, the
amount of which received by each is not known. The Judges de.
rive no emolument from such source at present.

By almost the whole of the speakers it was argued that the Con.
sub and Vice-Consuls of England had, before 1825, been paid by
fees alone, whereas, in 1792, some of the principal Consuls had sa.
laries besides their fees, amounting in the whole to 10,2461. in the
year, and in'lB2l the salaries had been increased to 30,3251. for 70
Consuls, and Consuls-General. There is no list of Vice-Consuls
in 1792, but in 1821 there were ;228 British Vice-Consuls, nearly,
the whole of them mercantile men of the most respectable classes,
and none of them receiving salaries, but receiving fees in pro.
portion to the duty done by them. The great evil of the Bri-
tish Consular System in 1825 was the arbitrary charges by the Con.
suls and Vice-Consuls at each port, there being no table by which
they should regulate their fees, and each Consul charged what he
pleased.
