HORTICULTURE.

IF the conservatory has been well kept, according to
our instructions, it ought now to be in perfection. Most
of the hard-wooded plants, especially those planted out,
such as the various species of acacia, some of which are
amongst the most beautiful of plants, the pultmeas, da-
viesias, gompholobinus, and other New Holland plants,
and the Chinese camellias and weigelas, the pretty dent-
zias, gracilis and scabra, with their profusion of pure
white blossoms, and many more shrubs, and the herba-
ceous and bulbous spring-flowering species, are all now in
perfection, and should be disturbed as little as possible :
the only operations required being regular watering and
daily ventilation, the removal of faded flowers and dead
leaves whenever they appear.
In the flower garden plenty of work will be found re-
quiring attention : sowing annuals, trimming the walks
and grass hedges, clipping ornamental hedge-rows, and
cleaning and rolling the turf.
In the kitchen gaFden sow carrots and successional
crops of peas and spinach ; plant out cauliflower
anplats ;
sow thyme, parsley, and other herbs, and keep up re-
gular successional sowing of salad herbs, as chervil, lambs
lettuce, American cress, rampions, radishes lettuce &c.
Sow salsafy and scorzonera in beds or drills ; they 'form
excellent winter vegetables, being general favourites where
grown ; they should have a deep, rich, and well-worked
soil, not too dry, as they are rather apt to run to flowers.

THE SEAMEN'S STRIICE.—AII the Tyne seamen belong-
ing to the union, and not bound by articles, left their ships
on Saturday morning week, and by a resolution of a public
meeting of the North and South Shields seamen, held in
the boats near the sear shore, were ;nstructed to remain
out on strike until the seamen of Sunderland and Hartle-
pool were communicated with. The strike is made against
what the sailors term the " black leg" office, a society
similar to the Masters' Association at reston, formed by
the owners with the object of breaking up the combination
of the men, and manning their vessels with seamen who do
not belong to the union. It was carried at the mess meet-
ing that the Sunderland men should strike against the
wishes
of several of the Sunderland men who spoke.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29.

Petitions against the Friendly Societies Bill were pre-
sented by Mr. GEEENALL, from St. Helen's district, Lan-
cashire ; and by Mr. LIDDELL, from the Liverpool District
Society of Odd Fellows, complaining of the fourth clause ;
against the Medical Practitioners Bill, by Mr. BROTHER-
TON, from inhabitants of Manchester and Salford ; in
favour of the bill, by Mr. TOLLEMACHE, from Matthew
Jermetto ; by Mr. TOLLEMACHE, from the inhabitants of
Chester, against the appointment of Romanist priests as
chaplains to the army and to prisons ; also, from the mayor
and magistrates of Congleton, against the consolidation of
the police of the smaller boroughs with that of the sur-
rounding counties.

TUE EASTER ADJOURNMENT.—Lord J. RUSSELL gave
notice that on Tuesday, the 11th of April, he would move
the adjournment of the house to Monday, the 24th of that
month.

CHURCH PROPERTY.—The Marquis of BLANDFORD
moved the second reading of the Episcopal and Capitular
Estates Bill. He impressed upon the house the importance
of the subject, and the immense issues involved in a question
relating to the mode of administering a vast amount of
property, capable not only of sustaining those institutions
for which it was originally designed, but by relieving,
under an improved management, the spiritual wants of
the country.—After a lengthened discussion, in the course
of which Mr. H. T. LIDDELL insisted that a measure of
such magnitude ought to be taken up by the government,
the debate was adjourned until the 6th of April.
The house adjourned at half-past 5 o'clock.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP MILNERS'
HOLDFAST SAFE WITH GUNPOWDER.
MESSRS. THOMAS MILNER AND SON.
DEAR SIRS,—We beg to acquaint you that lastnight our
warehouse was entered by burglars, who attempted to blow
open with gunpowder your strong Holdfast Safe, in which we
keep our books and cash (then amounting to .e 475), and, we
are happy to add, without success.—We are, dear sirs, your
most obedient servants,

GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST.
MESSRS. hiUSORAVES BROTHERS.

GENTLEMEN,—At your request I beg to state, forthe in-
formation of the public, that the only property savedfrom the
late fire in the premises of Thomas S. .Major and Co., was that
contained in one of Milners' Patent Safes. From the intense
nature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was•exposed
to the action of the flames, I was fully convinced of the de-
struction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very
great pleasure in testifying to this extraordinary instance of
their preservation. I may add, that the Safe waaplaced on
the third story, without any protection. where it retnainedtill
the floor was burned around it, when it fell to the room be-
neath, the floor of which was likewise destroyed by the fire.—
Yours truly, JAMES S. HUNTER, Executor of the late
Thomas T. Major, of the firm of T. Major and Co.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY, APRIL 3.

Their Lordships met at two o'clock in full state cos-
bum, for the purpose of proceeding with the answer to
Her Majesty's Message, assuring her of their faithful and
lbyal support in the war against Russia. The scene was
extremely brilliant.

About-half-pasttwo their Lordships proceeded in car-
riages to Buckingham Palace, her Majesty having appointed
three o'clock to receive the address.
The House resumed at four o'clock.
The LORD CHANCELLOR read the Queen's answer to the
address as follows :—" I thank you for your loyal and duti-
ful address. It is highly gratifying to me to receive the
assurance of your co-operation in giving effect to the,
measures which I may consider necessary for the honour
of my crown and the welfare of my people."
The EARL of ABERDEEN gave notice that; on Thursday
the 11th, he should move an adjournment of the house
until Thursday, the 27th inst.
The EARL of HARROWBY moved the second reading of
the Church Building Act Amendment Bill, the object of
which he supported in a speech of considerable length.
The intention of the measure is to enable the authorities
named in it, to take down churches where they are not
wanted, from absence of population, and build them
elsewhere, where they are wanted. He proposed, after
the second reading of the bill, to move that it be referred
to a Select Committee.

The EARL of Powis objected to the bill, but did not op-
pose its reference to a Select Committee.
The BISHOP of LONDON supported the bill; it was not
of a sweeping character as anticipated ; its principal.ap-
plication would be to the city of London, but each case
would be dealt with on its own merits, and no church
would be taken down until after the most careftil enquiry.
Lord ST. LEONARDS suggested that the churches to be
taken down should be specially named in the bill. The bill
was read a second time, and referred to a select committee.
The Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill, after much discus-
sion, passed through committee.
The house adjourned at 8. 25 p.m.

PROVISIONS,

FRIDAY, Mencix 31.—The sales of beef are to a full
average extent at steady prices, and the dealers now buy
with rather more confidence. Pork is firm, but not active,
and in the absence of- shipments from France, stocks be-
come reduced. At a reduction of about is, per cwt. there
is a moderately fair demand for bacon. Shoulders and
hams are inquired for. Lard has been in very active de-
mand, and prices have advanced during the week fully 3s.
per cwt. The advance in tallow has brought forward a
new class of buyers for lard. No new feature in cheese.
APRIL 3.—There was a good inquiry for butter of very
fine quality all last week, and a few small lots were readily
sold on arrival at 108 s to 112 s. The stock, which is now
in a very narrow compass, consists chiefly of Limerick and
Sligo, which the dealers purchase reluctantly at 94s to
98s. Inferior kinds are almost entirely neglected ; new is
much wanted, and high prices will be obtained for it.
Waterford,Carrick, and Clonmel, 104 s to106s; Belfast, 100 s
to 102 s ; Limerick, 98s to 102 s ; Sligo, 99s to 101 s ; and

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY, APRIL 3.

Mr. GREY took the oaths and his seat for Liscard, in
place of Mr. Crowder, appointed Judge of the Common
Pleas,

Lord JouN RUSSELL then appeared at the bar, and ac-
quainted the house that Her Majesty would receive the
addresses of Her faithful Commons at three o'clock.

The house immediately proceeded to Buckingham
Palace, headed by the Speaker, for the purpose of pre-
senting the address to the Queen, having previously, on
the motion of Lord J. Russell, appointed to meet again
at 6 30, p.m, _ _ _

The house resumed at half-past five. The Speaker read
the following gracious answer from Her Majesty to the
address presented from the house this day :
" I thank you for your loyal and dutiful address. The
declaration of your sentiments on this occasion affords
me great satisfaction, and I rely with confidence on your
co-operation in the measures which I may consider again
necessary for the honour of my Crown, and the welfare of
my people."
Much private business was transacted.
On the third reading of the North London Railway Bill,
The Marquis of CHANDOS moved the omission of a cer-
tain clause.
After considerable discussion, Mr. CARDWELL said it
was most important that a uniform system should be acted
upon with respect to Railway Bills, and announced that
he would make a general statement on the subject on
Thursday next.
The further consideration of the bill was unanimously
postponed until Monday next.
In reply to a question from Captain SCOBELL relative
to the rumour of the fleets in the Black Sea being detained
at Beicos for want of coals, _ _

Sir J. GBAIIAM said that he had received letters from
Admiral Dundas, dated March 19, stating that since Ja-
nuary 10,000 tons of coal had been provided, and that
6,000 tons more were in store at Malta. At the date of
the letter, the Admiral expected to leave Beicos with the
whole squadron on a cruise in the Black Sea, and a tele-
graphic account had been received, he understood, this
morning, stating that the fleet was in the neighbourhood
of Varna.

Lord J. RUSSELL, in reply to some observations from
Lord D. Stuart, upon the case of Mr. Stonor, said the
course to be pursued would be to deal with the appoint-
ment after it had been made by the legislature of Victoria,
and when received in this country it would not be con-
firmed, though ht admitted the hardship as regards Mr.
Stonor.

BRIBERY.
On the motion for going into committee on the Bribery
Bill, Mr. VERNON SMITH moved that the bill be referred
to a select committee, on the ground that it could be
more deliberately and more dispassionately considered
than by the whole house. The Bribery Bill of Sir F.

LIVERPOOL SPRING ASSIZES.

CROWN COURT .-TUESDAY, MARCH 28.
(BEFORE MR. JUSTICE CRESWELL.)

ARRAIGNMENT OF TILE PRESTON DELEGATES.—George
Cowell, Michael Gallager, Mortimer Grimshaw, Luke
Wood, James Waddington, John Brocklehurst, John
Lang,JohnGardner,Wm.Parkinson,JosephDolphin,and
Thos. Greyson, appeared to answer their recognizances, and
pleadednotguiltytothechargeof conspiring togethertopre-
ven t persons being employed at certain mills at Preston. There
were several other counts in the indictment, but this was
the main one upon which the prosecution was founded ; the
other counts being merely legal technicalities to support
the case. Air. Watson applied for a postponement of the
trial till next assizes, on the ground that the period which
had elapsed since the committal of the prisoners was so
short that there had not been sufficient time to prepare
the materials for their defence. Mr. Spinks supported the
application. Mr. Knowles, the Attorney-General of the
circuit, opposed the application on the ground that the
nature of the offence was such, that public justice demanded
its investigation with as little delay as possible. His
Lordship quite agreed that it was important that this case
should be decided ; but at the same time it was of the ut-
most importance that no trial should be conducted under
such circumstances that even the most ignorant person
should imagine, or be able to say, that a full, fair, and im-
partial trial had not taken place. He bad looked at the
affidavits, and certainly thought the time to prepare the
case had been very short. On these grounds, however
much he deplored--as every sensible person must deplore—
the state of things in Preston, he thought it consistent
with the ends of justice that the trial should be postponed.
The traversers and their recognizances were then bound
over to appear at the next assizes.
CRIMINAL ASSAULTS.—John Duncan Campbell, wire
drawer, Henry Dagnall, labourer, Thomas Moore, roper,
Joseph Bibby, sawyer, and William Maguire, labourer,
were charged with having criminally assaulted Margaret
Gannon, at Warrington, on the 14th of January. The
prosecutrix, it transpired, was a female of questionable cha-
racter. The jury acquitted all the prisoners.—James
Watmough, labourer, was indicted for a similar offence on
Ann Marsden, a girl of 13 years of age, at Standish, on
the 28th of February. The jury experienced a good deal
of difficulty in this case, and though they retired twice to
consider their verdict, up to ten o'clock they could not
agree. They were accordingly locked up all night, and in
the morning, after attempting to return a verdict of guilty
of a common assault, which could not be received, they ac-
quitted_the prisoner. —Michael M`Mullin, indicted for a
similar offence upon a factory girl of 16, at Bolton, was
acquitted.

THURSDAY, MARCH 30.

The Southport Waterworks Bill was read a third time,
and passed.
THE PRESTON STRIZE.—Mr. T. DIINCOMBE presented
a petition, signed, in twenty-four hours, by above 7,600
inhabitants of the borough of Preston, in the county of
Lancaster, complaining of the manner in which the laws
for the maintenance of peace and order are administered
by the local authorities in that borough. He gave notice
that he should move for a committee of inquiry into the
subject immediately after Easter.
THE HAY FRAUD.—Sir W. Satin( presented a petition
from Sturgeon and Sons, of Grays, Essex, denying that
the hay supplied by them for the artillery horses going
abroad was unsound, and praying for inquiry.—Mr. Os-
BORNE said the case of Messrs. Sturgeon was under the
consideration of the admiralty, as to whether proceedings
would be instituted or not.

NEUTRALS.—In reply to a question, the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL, after explaining certain portions of the declara-
tion respecting neutrals, said, with regard to what
constituted contraband of war, he could not take upon
himself to answer that question, which was one of the
most difficult and complicated that could arise. Arms
and ammunition were contraband of war, and generally
any article capable of being turned to the purposes of war.
With regard to Russian produce in neutral vessels, if bond
fide purchased, he considered it would be protected, and
not liable to seizure ; if only colourably purchased, it
would be liable to seizure.

THE DANISH SUCCESSION.—III reply to a question as
to the treaty entered into between France, England, and
Denmark respecting the succession to the crown of Den-
mark, Lord J. RUSSELL said he did not apprehend that a
war between two of the powers would invalidate the terms
of the treaty so as to set aside the succession.

BALSAM OF ANISEED, for Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Sore Throats, &c.—This Balsam affords almost instant relief
to those suffering from the above-named causes. Coughs,
and all diseases attendant upon the Lungs, when of long
standing, become very inveterate and difficult to cure, and
not unfrequently terminate in consumption. In cases of this
kind the Balsam should be resorted to immediately, and re-
gularly continued until its effect in removing the Cough is
complete. Sold in Bottles at Is. 1 id., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. each.

TON, from inhabitants of Manchester and Salford ; in
favour of the bill, by Mr. TOLLEMACHE3 from Matthew
Jermetto ; by Mr. TOLLEMACITE, from the inhabitants of
Chester, against the appointment of Romanist priests as
chaplains to the army and to prisons ; also, from the mayor
and magistrates of Congleton, against the consolidation of
the police of the smaller boroughs with that of the sur-
rounding counties.

LIE EASTER ADJOURNMENT.—Lord J. RUSSELL gave
notice that on Tuesday, the 11th of April, he would move
the adjournment of the house to Monday, the 24th of that
month.

CHURCH PROPERTY.—The Marquis of BLANDPORD
moved the second reading of the Episcopal and Capitular
Estates Bill. He impressed upon the house the importance
of the subject, and the immense issues involved in a question
relating to the mode of administering a vast amount of
property, capable not only of sustaining those institutions
for which it was originally designed, but by relieving,
under an improved management, the spiritual wants of
the country.—After a lengthened discussion, in the course
of which Mr. H. T. LIDDELL insisted that a measure of
such magnitude ought to be taken up by the government,
the debate was adjourned until the 6th of April.
The house adjourned at half-past 5 o'clock.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.

scheme for the subjugation of Turkey, which he
had arranged with him ten years ago, and it may
be that a similar fatality will be the result.
It appears that the Russian troops have suc-
ceeded in crossing the Danube in some force, a
proceeding which it was understood was to be the
inducement for Austria to join the Western
Powers in the declaration of hostilities against
Russia, but it is said that the Emperor still
hesitates from this straightforward course, and
shuts himself up in his pretence of impenetrable
neutrality, though later accounts state that he is,
inclining more favourably to his western allies.
Prussia has, however, been pursuing a far more
dubious policy, inducing strong suspicions of its
fidelity, but the recent accident to the King, which
seems to threaten serious consequences, may lead
to a change to more decisive measures. It would
appear that, with the exception of England and
France, all the other powers of Europe are holding
aloof from the quarrel ; but should the war be
carried on with vigour, of which there is little
doubt with so powerful a fleet in the Baltic, it
will be impossible for any States so near as those
of the North of Europe to preserve a state of
neutrality.
