HORTICULTURE.

Stove, Conservatory, Av.—We can add but little to
our directions of last week, except a caution as respects the
night temperature. It is too frequently thought by
inexperienced gardeners that the temperature of the plant-
houses should be greater during the night than the day.
Nothing is more injurious to the plants ; they follow all
other departments of nature. Night is to them a time of
rest ; consequently, the absence of all stimulus is necessary
at that time.
In the Vinery the vines will be moving unless purposely
retarded. They should be encouraged to grow by all means.
In the Flower and Kitchen Gardens the present season-
able frost will do great service ; it will, however, suspend
any other operation than that of wheeling in the intended
supply of manure, which, in the hardened state of the
borders and paths, is very desirable.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11

A conversation took pla.ce between the Marquis of Clan-
ricarde, the Earl of Hardwicke, and Viscount Canning,
relative to the appointment of Mr. Frederick Hill to an
office in the post-office, he having had no previous ex-
perience in the office. The conversation merely produced
the explanation, that Mr. Hill was the best person who
could have been selected under the circumstances.

LITERARY GOSSIP.

DR. LAYARD will preside at the annual dinner of the
Printer's Pension Society in April next.
THE HON. HORACE MANN, on being recently asked
for his autograph, replied thus ;—" Why ask a Name ?
Small is the good it brings. Names are but breath ; deeds,
DEEDS alone are THINGS."

FaoM his quiet retreat at Val Richer, in Normandy, the
ex-minister of King Louis Philippe, M. Guizot, has sent
out some portion of the results of his earliest studies on
art, originally made during the reign of the first Napoleon.
The book has been translated into English.

IN a letter to Mrs. Stowe, the authoress of " Uncle
Tom's Cabin," the Earl of Carlisle says: " I have long
felt that slavery is by far the topping question of the
world and age we live in, involving all that is most thril-
,ling in heroism and most touching in distress—in short,
the real epic of the universe."
MOZART'S excellent piano-forte Duet in F minor (an
eternal piece of music, if there is such a thing,) was written
for a piece of machinery attached to a clock. European
musicians are now potentates and princes, given to curl
the lip and speak of " the shop," if asked to accommodate
themselves to circumstances, and to oblige as well as to
dream. But, somehow, they are not Haydns and Mo-
zarts.—Athenceunz.

YOUNG ENGLAND ABROAD.—Bayard Taylor, a young
American who is at present travelling leisurely over Europe,
gives a pleasant account, in the New York Tribune, of
his voyage up the Mediterranean in December last. Here
is a passage :—"Among the passengers there area number
of refined and intelligent gentlemen, principally officers
returning their stations in India, after leave of absence.
There are also numerous specimens of Young England, in
the shape of cadets appointed to the East India service.
Nothing can exceed the astonishing airs assumed by some
of these youths. Although between the tender ages of
fourteen and eighteen, their shirt collars are twice as high,
and four times as stiffly starched, as those of full-grown
men. They generally sport eye-glasses, and are among
the first to summon the steward for hot water in the
morning. They carry cigar-cases of remarkable size, bet
high on shuffle-board and quoits, and mix their whisky
punches of an evening with the most scientific air in the
world. English tourists are very apt to remark the pre-
cocity of American juveniles, but I certainly have never
seen at home a greater variety of youthful swaggerers than
is presented by this company of cadets on board." ,

CATTLE MARKETS.

SALFORD, FEB. 9.—There was an increase in the supply of
beasts, and the general quality was seasonably good. From
the Liverpool market, there were 950 ; from Cheshire, 130 ;
direct from Ireland, 320; from the North of England and
Scotland, 350. There was a good attendance of buyers; but,
owing to the high rates asked, the beef trade was rather dull,
and at the close of the market a clearance was not effected.
There was an unusually small supply of sheep, for which there
was a brisk demand.—Beasts: First quality, sd. to 50.;
second, sd. to sid. ; inferior, 4d. to 4id. Sheep, 64d. to 72d.
Calves, 54d. to el.—Number : Beasts, 1,759 ; sheep, 3,681;
calves, 210.

LEEDS, FEB. 9.—There were 730 head of cattle for sale at
this day's market, and a large attendance of buyers. A fair
clearance was effected at advancing rates, viz., 7s. to 7s. 4d.,
and some in prime condition 7s. Bd. per 16 lbs. Sheep, 4,000 ;
all were sold at an average of 7d. per lb.
DUBLIN, FEB. 10.—We had a short sharp market, and sales
over early. Beef same as last week—sinking offal, 465. Bd. to
50s. to 525. per cwt.; Mutton advanced ad. to gd. per lb., the
currency being 54d. to fully 7d. per lb., in sink—in fact,
London prices ; so much for continued bad weather ; veal, 7d.
to 7id. per lb. Heavy Pigs bought readily at 475. to 48s. per
cwt.; light, 465. Bd. per cwt. There was, however, less demand
for export than during last month,

ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL

Colonel Sionionp said a report had been very prevalent
of late, to the effect that it was the intention of the noble
lord opposite to abandon the Ecclesiastical Titles Billr
about which he formerly professed so much anxiety. He
wished to know if it was the intention of the noble lord to.
move in the matter ?—Lord J. RUSSELL said there was
no intention of making any proposition with respect to°
that measure. INCOME TAX.
In reply to Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, who wished to knout"
if any step would be taken in reference to the income tax

would be considered in the financial statement, which•
would be made after Easter.

THE INCOME-TAX

NOTWITHSTANDING the complacency with which
the Ministerial organs venture to predict the success
of the coalition Administration, and coolly to lay
down schemes of petty legislation, the difficulty of a
Financial Statement has still to be got over, and it
is one of no mean importance. This is evident
from the tone in which it has been treated, and the
notice which has been given in order to prepare the
public mind for the delay, that the Budget will not
be ready until after Easter, so that due time shall
be given for its consideration. This delay has been
lauded as a proper return to ancient usage, and
care has been taken to smooth the way of what will
out of doors be considered the surest proof of
Ministerial incapacity to deal with the subject. It
is stated, with well assumed confidence, that a

the Irish and Imperial Parliaments from 1789 to 1815,
but, at the death of William Hoare Hume in that year,
the present member was only a boy. Mr. Quintin Dick,
the late member for Maldon, is grand-uncle to the young
lady, who, it is understood, will share largely in his enor-
mous wealth. A very romantic story is told among the
fashionable gossip of his introduction to Miss Hume. He
had pointed her out to a lady of rank as the most charming
person in a large assembly, and was astonished to learn
that she was an unknown relative of his own.

THE MISSION OF DR. CHALMERS.

(FROM DR. CUMMING'S BIOGRAPHICAL PREFACE TO
BOHN'S EDITION OF CHALMERS'S BRIDGEWATER

TREATISES.)

,
It was pre-eminently the mission of Chalmers to show
that Christianity was not behind the nineteenth century,
and to prove that be who accepted the sublime but
humbling truths of the Great Redeemer was wise in the
highest sense. This was always true. But at the begin-
ning of the present century it needed a master spirit
to make the world see it, and that spirit was Dr. Chalmers.
One great value of the writings of Chalmers is the sup-
ply of materials of thought and illustration which they
furnish to humbler minds. In this way his sermons have
penetrated the theology of every land, and have been re-
produced in endless variety of shape and language. In
his writings, as in a mine, is rich and precious ore. The
best rectories and vicarages of England, and the most
enlightened manses of Scotland are the mints in which
the ore is still coined and reduced to currency. Useful-
ness is after all the highest proof of genius. He is the
greatest man who is the most useful. Let us be thankful
that Chalmers in his works is as useful as Chalmers in his
pulpit. Being dead he yet speaks, and awakens echoes in
the hearts of increasing numbers of every land.

LAW REFORM.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice, that on Monday
he would state to the House the intentions of her Ma-
jesty's government with respect to legal reform.
CRIMINAL APPEALS.—Lord CAMPBELL brought in a
bill to amend the act, which had for its object to stay ex-
ecution of judgment for misdemeanours upon giving bail
in error.

CHANCERY.—Lord ST. LEONARD'S introduced a series
of bills with reference to the reform of the law. The first
bill was a measure of further relief to the suitors in the
Court of Chancery. He proposed by a new arrangement
of the Accountant- General's office, and by an improved
mode of managing the funds under his care, to enable the
Court to reduce the expenses of litigation to any limit
within which it might be thought desirable to confine it.
One great object of his bill was to put an end to the pre-
sent unseemly system of brokerage on the suitors' fund ;
and'another was, by a new and careful administration of
the unclaimed dividends, to give the court new funds with
which to relieve the suitors.

LUNACY.—LORD ST. LEONARD'S said the next bill
was one of three, relating to lunatics. The great object
of this bill was to regulate the proceedings of the court
with reference to the property of lunatics under it. The
effect, if passed into a law, would be to lessen the expense
of inquiry in such cases, to prevent the unnecessary sum-
moning of juries, to prevent unnecessary references from
the Lord Chancellor to the Masters in Lunacy, to prevent
the unnecessary attendance of next of kin, which was
often attended with great expense, and to introduce, for
the first time, chamber practice on the part of the Lord
Chancellor with reference to lunatics. The second bill
with reference to lunacy contemplated the consolidation
of all the laws relating to lunatic asylums. The third bill
connected with lunacy provided for the care and treat-
ment of lunatics. It was an amendment on the act com-
monly designated Lord Shaftesbury'sAct, which appointed
commissioners for the visiting of lunatic asylums, and it
contained a considerable number of provisions which would
be found to be an improvement upon the original act.
BANKRUPTCY.—Lord ST. LEONARD'S said the next bill
related to bankruptcy. It contained a variety of provi-
sions, but its chief object was to induce persons who be-
came insolvent, and, in the common acceptation of the
phrase, " incapable of meeting their obligations," to go
at once into the Court of Bankruptcy, without fear and
without shame, In order to accomplish this he proposed,
inter alia, to abolish first, second, and third-class certifi-
cates.

CRIMINAL LAW.—Lord ST. LEONARD'S said his lastbill
related to a digest of the criminal law, which he proposed
should be effected by a series of measures. That which

child of William Wentworth Fitzwilliam Hume, of Hume-

through her mother, with the earls of Zetland and Fitz-
william. Her father's family represented the county in
the Irish and Imperial Parliaments from 1789 to 1815,
but, at the death of William Hoare Hume in that year,
the present member was only a boy. Mr. Quintin Dick,
the late member for Maldon, is grand-uncle to the youni
lady, who, it is understood, will share largely in his enor-
mous wealth. A very romantic story is told among the
fashionable gossip of his introduction to Miss Home. He
had pointed her out to a lady of rank as the most charming
person in a large assembly, and was astonished to learn
that she was an unknown relative of his own.

Herodotus wrote, as it was natural that he should write.
He wrote for a nation susceptibly curious, lively, insatia-

indulge, without fear of censure, in the license allowed
their predecessors, the Bards. Books were few. The
events of former times were learned from traditions and
from ballads ; the manners of foreign countries from the
reports of travellers. It is well known that the mystery
which overhangs what is distant, either in space or time,
frequently prevents us from censuring as unnatural when
we perceive it to be impossible. We stare at a dragoon
who has killed three French curassiers, as a prodigy; yet
we read, without the least disgust, how Godfrey slew bus

ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.

Mr. BRIGHT asked whether the government would
bring in a bill for the reformation, or abolition, of ecclesi-
astical courts in the present session ? Lord J. Russza
said a commission had the question under consideration
and as soon as they reported on the question the govern-
ment would be prepared to introduce a measure.
The house adjourned at a quarter after six o'clock.

FRIDAY, FRB. 11.

The LORD ADVOCATE took the oaths and his seat for
Leith. JEW BILL.

Lord Jour; RUSSELL gave notice that he would move
for leave to bring in the Jewish Disabilities Bill on the
24th instant, instead of the 22nd.

ROMISH INTOLERANCE IN SPAIN.
Sir R, H. INGLIS drew attention to a decree which bad
been published in Spain, prohibiting foreigners in that
country, whether domiciled or travelling through, from
professing any other than the Romish religion. He wished
to know if any information had since been received, and
whether the Foreign Secretary intended to protest against
the decree in the name of Her Majesty.—Lord Jowl
RUSSELL said Lord Howden was requested by the late
Government to communicate verbally with the Foreign
Minister of Spain on the subject. He had done so, and
the answer was that the decree would not change the
Spanish law, as it had existed before the publication of
the decree.

MORTALITY IN EMIGRANT SHIPS.
Mr. HILDICARD inquired whether Government had
caused inquiry to be made into the mortality, which,
according to recent accounts from Australia, took place
on board four vessels chartered by the Emigration Com-
missioners to convey emigrants between the ports of Liver-
pool and Melbourne.—Mr. F. PEEL said that great mor-
tality had certainly taken place on board the four vessels
referred to, but it was chiefly confined to the childr,en,;
Very few adults were fatally attacked. Precaution ea'
been taken to prevent the overcrowding of these vessels
in future. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL.
Mr. SPOONER asked Lord John Russell whether 111 r.
Sadleir had any authority for saying, on the hustings at
Carlow, that " the noble lord had proffered !I political
refutation of the course which he had taken withrespectto the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, which that distin-
guished nobleman had had the manliness to proffer;" and
for saying, that the principle of the Ecclesiastical Titles
Bill had been deliberately and openly abandoned ;" and
asked the noble lord, whether the noble lord still thought
that the aggression of the Pope of Rome, which induced
his lordship to bring forward the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill,
was " insolent and insidious," and fully justified the intro-
duction of that measure.—Lord J. RUSSELL said that Mr-
Sadleir had informed him that the report referred to was'
not correct in the portions referred to, and he had state&
what he really did say on the occasion, which he (Lord J.
Russell) had no occasion to complain of.
