HORTICULTURE.

STOVE, CONSERVATORY, AND GREENHOLTSE. —Th e
dampness and general gloom which has prevailed so far
during the summer seems likely to continue through
the winter. Dampness is the greatest enemy to the plant
cultivator, and every means must be resorted to in freeing
the houses from this evil ; at the same time too much fire
heat is also bad ; the fires should be lighted in the day
time only for drying the greenhouse and conservatory,
and, when thus heated, the ventilation should be complete,
so that the heated air may carry off the moisture. Chry-
santhemums, if mildewed, should besprinkled with sulphur,
and the pest removed from them if possible before they
expand their flowers and are removed to the conservatory.
FLOWER GARDEN, &c.—The stormy weather has much
abbreviated the season of out-door gardening, and nothing
now remains to be done but clearing away the debris—
dead leaves must not be allowed to accumulate on gravel
walks or giass lawns and verges, which they not only dis-
figure but permanently injure. The walks should be fre-
quently rolled when tolerably dry ; they are then less
liable to be affected by frost or rain. Dahlias which have
been destroyed by the wind may be cut down, where the
quantity is large, and a deficiency of room has been expe-
rienced. We have found it a good plan to fill a large flower-
pot with sawdust and turn it over the root ; they will in
this way keep in the ground until the spring, when they
may be taken up and started for cuttings. We have found
the cuttings from roots, so preserved, have always been
stronger.
Any fruit remaining on the trees should be got in and
stored, taking care it is thoroughly dry when gathered.

Thu YELLOW FEVER IA BERMUDA.—A private letter
states that, up to the 18th of September, 60 convicts and
as many soldiers had died of yellow fever. Col. Phillpotts,
the acting governor, many officers in garrison, and whole
families of the principal people at St. George, were swept
off. 160 soldiers were in hospital, and the disease was
proceeding speedily and becoming fatal. Medical assistance
had been called for, and was being despatched from
Halifax. Col. Phillpots is brother of the Bishop of Exeter.
His family were to have embarked from England on the
22nd instant.

the Duke of Bedford's Pensioner, beating Lord Glasgow's
Sister to Caracara.

MANCH ESTER.—There is but little alteration in the state of
the market this week. It continues very dull, and prices are
still, with few exceptions, on the decline. The reduced produc-
tion of water yarns and 401 n. 'hidings, in consequence of the
stoppage of mills producing them, has rendered them rather
steadier, and there is some inclination to make purchases,
but this only in cases where cheap lots can be picked up.
There has been rather more business for India, and for
standard yarns for this market, somewhat higher prices have
been given than were last week offered. The demand both
for export and home consumption continues very limited.
For cloth the demand is very small, and without some con-
cession of price, but few sales are made.

The Royal Stakes of 200 sows. each was won by a length by
Mr. Knowles's Talfonrd, beating Vanderdecken and Filbert.

Twenty eight others started. Weathergage was struck out
at 10 49 a.m. this day ; Mr. Sykes and Nutpecker were struck
out between eleven and twelve o'clock. Lord Exeter declared
to win with Dove.—All got off well. Winter, with Missive,
Haco, King Pepin, King of Trumps, Songstress, Teddington,
Nabob, and three or four others occupying good places in
front of the ruck, made the running to within a short distance
of the bushes, where Haco took it up, followed by King Pepin
into the Abingdon mile bottom. where Nabob, who had taken
second place in going down the hill, headed Haco, but in the
next stride or two Haco was again in possession of the lead,
which he maintained the remainder of the distance, winning
cleverly by a head. Good steady pace throughout.

LBRDS.—The markets at the Cloth Halls were more lively
than during the four or five previous market days. Prices
without alteration, although stocks are increasing. Rather
more doing in the warehouses, but principally by order. Few
buyers have been down, and little has been done in sales on
the spot.
BRADTORD.—WooI : The sales for the week are trifling,
and prices barely supported. Noils and short wool remain
without change in value, which may be attributed to the
reduced quantity now making.—Yarns : The stoppage of
spinning frames during the month of October cannot be short
of 50 •# cent., reckoning the machinery working short time;
in fact, such irregularity was never heard of in the return of
tares. The turn out in Lancashire and the idle looms around
here have caused great interruption to the whole trade. The
fair at Leipzic having closed with more than usual activity
has made the shippers more disposed to buy such yarns as
are suitable for Germany; but such are their limits, that the
cost of material, irrespective of labour, could not be covered.
Pieces : The merchants buy very sparingly to assort up their
stocks. The unsettled state of money matters and uncer-
tainty as to the result of war, are telling greatly against the
business of this season.

A Sweepstakes of 50 soya. each, for two-year-olds, was
won by three lengths by the Duke of Bedford's Weathercock,

Novi.' No HAM.—There has been rather more business doing
in lace goods this week, and stocks of some sorts are con-
siderably lessened. The hosiery trade is not quite in so
flourishing a condition as it has been during the previous par
of the year, still there are considerable orders on band for
America as well as for spring goods for the home trade. The
price of yarn is unaltered.
HUDDERSFIELD.—The market has been very qaiet, but
more business has been done than last week. Numerous
inquiries have been made for heavy goods suitable for the
coming winter, but transactions have been confined to very
small purchases, as there is a general impression that goods
will be lower in price after the forthcoming London wool sales.
ROCHDALE.—There is no disposition on the part of the
merchants to buy at present. The wool market has also been
slack, and the prices may be quoted a shade easier.
