OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK

Stove, Greenhouse, and Conservatory.—The gardener
should now pay particular attention to those hardy plants,
which have been selected for forcing ; and, if they have
hitherto been well cared for in a well-aired pit, they may
now be removed to an early vinery, and placed on the
flue, upon an inverted pot, to prevent scorching the roots ;
the warmth will soon start them into active growth, but
too high a temperature must be avoided. The best plants
for this purpose are Roses, especially Moss Roses, Lilacs,
Syringes, Wiegela Rosea, Dentzia Seabra, the fine hybrid
Azaleas and Rhododendrons, Kalmias Rhodora Canaden-
sis, and the Pernettias. If a good stock of these be pro-
vided, they will. when mixed with a choice selection of
Narcissuses, Hyacinths, Van Thal Tulips and Chinese
Primroses, make a good display in January and February.

The Flawer, andkilehen Garden.—The excessive rains
of the last three weeks have caused an entire suspension
of work in those departments; and have so inundated the
the soil as to make it desirable to leave everytliinz undone
for the present. To attempt to work the earth now will
do injury rather than good.

CHESHIRE AND WALES

CHESHIRE MILITIA.--Capt. C. 11. White, late of the
14th Foot, has been appointed Adjutant of the Cheshire
Militia.

NEW MAYORS.—Mr. Adam Eyton has been elected

mayor of Denbigh, for the ensuing year.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAlLWAY.—Traffic for the
week ended the 14th instant.:—Passengers, parcels, Sze.,
£2464 ss. 4d. ; goods, £lO3O 7s. 10d. ; total, £3494 135.
2d. Increase over the corresponding week of last year,
£B5O 9s. Bd.

CHESTER AND HOLTIMAD.—TIie officers anti employes
of this company have presented a very handsome testi-
monial to J. 0. Binger. Esq., the manager of this line,
as a mark of their respect and attachment to that gentle-
man. Upwards of £l2O was subscribed, and the pre-
sentation took place at Bangor, at the house of Mr. Lee,
the engineer of the line.
ABBOT'S GRANGE.—This large residence and spacious
grounds to the north of the town, and on the turnpike
road to Liverpool, have been taken for academical pur-
poses by Dr. Brindley, who intends to remove his estab-
lishment thither from Tarvin Hall. The Doctor, we are
informed, will forthwith commence extensive additions to
the existing buildings, arid the trade of the city cannot
but benefit by the expenditure which a seminary of up-
wards of 120 youths requires.. AF Dr. Brindley's reputa-
tion is now a public one, it is needless to urge the advan-
tages to parents of profiting by his scholistic excellence.

LAMENTABLE SITICIDE.—On Monday, a most horrible
and determined suicide was committed by a man named
Samuel Parry, a stonemason, lodging in Pool-lane, Rhyl.
He had been left by himself in the evening, with a Wes-
leyan hymn-book in his hand. Shortly afterwardsa fellow-
lodger returned home, and hearing Parry moving about up
stairs, called out to him, but, receiving no answer, went
up and was horrified at seeing the poor man lying on the
floor in a pool of blood, with the hymn-book and razor
near him. He immediately procured the assistance of Dr.
Lodge, who examined the wound, which measured five

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—TUESDAY, Nov. 16

MANNING THE NAVY,

In answer to a question from Lord Brougham, the
Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND said there was a committee
under the Board of Admiralty now sitting to inquire ge-
nerally into the state of the manning of the navy, and
embracing everything connected with the condition of our
seamen. It had been sitting for several months, but no
report had yet been made. The committee was com-
posed of many most distinguished officers, in whose judg-
ment the greatest confidence could be placed, and who
would ever have prominently in view the good of the
service.—Lord BROUGHAM said, when he spoke of expense,
he had in his eye the undoubted fact of the wages being
so much better in other branches of the sea service than
in our navy ; and, not only in our own merchant service,
but in the American service.
The Bills of Exchange and Notes Bill was passed through
all its stages. THE DUKE'S FUNERAL.
The report of the committee appointed to consider the
best mode in which the House could assist at the funeral
of the late Duke of Wellington was brought up ; and, on
the motion of the Earl of DERBY, it was resolved—" That
the House be represented in the procession by the Lord
Chancellor alone." LAW REFORM.
The LORD CHANCELLOR proceeded to state what stopshad been taken in order to carry into execution the bills
passed last session in regard to :he Court of Chancery and
other matters connected with that court, and the measures
which the Government proposed on the subject of Law
Reform generally. There were three bills already passed
as regarded the Court of Chancery. The first was for
abolishing the office of Master in Chancery, and intro-
ducing a new system, called a chamber system. The next
was for " the improvement of the jurisdiction of equity,"
and the third was " The Suitors in Equity Relief Act,"
which certainly had afforded great relief in the reduction
of salaries and the abolition of what appeared to be use-

ration, and he believed they would have the effect of
making the delays in Chancery no longer proverbial.
Without any undue haste, which of all things was to be
deprecated, he believed that questions of property could
now be decided more rapidly in the Court of Chancery
than in any other court in the country. His lordship
proceeded to describe the nature of the two funds out of
which the costs of the administration of just;
and the means proposed still further to r,

e were paid,
lace those costs.

Another small hill was connected
masters extraordinary in Chancery

with the subject of the
Tie proposed to have
and to

a registry for transacting their basin
away the fees now charged by these gentlemen

regard to lunatics : at present one kind of court had ju-
risdiction in one place, and another in another, end the
utmost confusion prevailed. He proposed an extended
investigation into the working of these courts, and the es-
tablishment of one simple rule for the courts of the whole
country. Besides the other authorities over lunatics, the
act called Lord Shaftesbury's Act had appointed eleven
commissioners, whose duty it was to look after the ma-
nagement of the

.sylums from time to time
