TO CORRESPONDENTS.

C•DAHLIAS.—The plants should be cut down on a dry morning,
and the next day the roots should be stored in a dry place,
between layers of.-straw, with their stems downwards.
Many roots may be preserved during the winter in-the
same way.
A LADY should not believe all that she hears.

•3Qttaxv.—The style as altered in 1752. By an act of parlia-
ment passed in thateession, the year was ordered-to•com•
mence on the let of January, instead of the 25th •of liar&
as heretofore ; and the day after the 2nd of September was
ordered to be called the 14th. This made eleven days
difference in calculations, which was increased totwelve in
the year 1800, when-there was no 29th of February; and
this accounts for the difference of twelve days between our.
dates and those of Russia, where the old style•is
•observed.

•
iliomo.—The Arctic made her last voyage from New 'York:
.to Liverpool in nine days and eighteen hours.
LAYMAN.—We agree •with him as to the inconvenience
-which frequently arises from the introduction of hymns.
—many of which have nc claims either to piety or poetry—.
into the performance of Divine Service, owing to strangers
'being unprovided with books. We cannot, however, suggest
a remedy where the incumbent is his own ordinary. The
version of the Psalms by tßrady and Tate bas the Royal
sanction, but none are specially ordered by the Church.
E. IL. D.—The proposal to widen the lower end of Duke-street
was made several years ago, but subsequently fell to the
ground. It would, however, be a great improvement, and
open.a thoroughfare which would considerably relieve the
pressure on Bold-street.

A FRBEMAN.—His letter will prove much more effective i
delayed for a few weeks.

"No Go:"—Three worthies of our Liverpool Town Council
having •been disappointed (in their proposed trip to ascer-
tain the•best mode of curing smoky chimneys), a corres-
pondectlas sent us the following attempt at wit 0—
Mos.., Godfrey, and Beckwith,
Got seventy pounds wherewith
To perpetrate a tour::
The Council, by their vote
,Of one, has changed theinnote,
And these three go no more.

Chat Moss.—An inquisitive correspondent has addressed
to us the following stupid inaniry2--m Would you be so
kind as to inform me whether Chat Moss is somewhere in
Cheshire, or anywhere inLancashire?" All we have to say
is—as the fishwife said to a certain eamillor—"Be off,
long'un, and find it out."

TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 18, 1853.

Mn. GLADSTONE, the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, has been lionising at Manchester. The
citizens met to do honour to the late Sir ROBERT
PEEL, and Mr. GLADSTONE was present to join
in the ovation to his former chief, the guide of
his political life, and the man whose principles he
professes to have adopted as his own. There is
something dangerous in perversion of principles,
from the enthusiasm with which those who have
deserted the right path rush into the opposite
extreme. Mr. NEWMAN journeyed from Oxford
to Rome, and is now a more ardent believer in the
most absurd figments and fabricated miracles, than
those who have been Romanists all their lives.
Mr. MILNER GIBBON, from being an over-zealous
Conservative, has turned a rabid Radical, and a
fit associate of the violent party to which he has
