ALETTER, addressed to ROBERT WHARTON, Esq.,
Questioning the Soundness of his Decision, " That
Payment of Rates by a party himself, with money borrowed
for that purpose, and not repaid on or before the Twentieth
July, is not such a payment as to entitle the party so paying
to the Franchise under the 2d W. 4. c. (sec. 27,) com-
monly called the Reform Act." By EDWARD BRE-
TH ERTON, Attorney-at-Law.

On Saturday, January 2, will be published, price Sixpence
stamped, the First Number of
THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE, a Weekly Record
of Rural Economy and General News. The Ilorticul-
tural Part Edited by Professor LINDLEY.
The plan proposed to be followed in the management of
" The Gardeners Chronicle" is, in THE FIRST PLACE, to
make it a weekly record of everything that bears upon Hor-
ticulture or Garden Botany, and to introduce such Natural
History as has a relation to Gardening, together with Notices
and Criticisms of every work of importance on the subject
which may appear. Connected with this part of the plan
will be a Weekly Calendar of Gardening Operations, given
in great detail, and so adapted to the varying seasons as to
form a constant assistance to the memory—Foreign and Do-
mestic Correspondence upon Horticultural subjects—Reports
of Horticultural Exhibitions and Proceedings—Notices of
Novelties and Improvements—in short, everything that can
tend to benefit the workman, or which may conduce to the
pleasure of his employer. Thus the Gardener, the Forester,
the Rural Architect, the Drainer, the Road-maker, and the
Cottager, will all have the improvements in their respective
pursuits recorded.
In the SECOND PLACE, that description of domestic and
political News will be introduced which is usually found in
a Weekly Paper. It is unnecessary to dwell on this bead
further than to say, that the Proprietors do not intend to
range themselves under the banners of any party ; on the
contrary, their earnest endeavours will be to make THE GAR-
DENERS' CHRONICLE a full and comprehensive Record of
Facts only—leaving the reader to form his own conclusion
and opinions : their object being the elucidation and discus-
sion of the laws of nature, not of man. The reader will thus
be provided, in addition to the feature of the Journal, with
such a variety of information concerning the events of the
day, as will supersede the necessity of his providing himself
with any other Weekly Journal.
The Proprietors of THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE are
happy to announce that they have already received promises
of contributions from great numbers of their friends, among
whom the following may be more particularly named :
Dr. Daubeny, Professor of Botany in the University of Ox-
ford.
