MR. COBDEN SHEWN TO BE NOBODY.

The editor of the Albion has taken Sir George Grey
severely to task for some expressions delivered by him
last week at a meeting of his constituents at Berwick.
The hon. baronet appears to have remarked, that " since
they did him the honour of sending him to parliament,
events of great magnitude and importance had occurred;
events never anticipated or foreseen, and as unexpected ;
events which had shaken every throne in Europe, and
convulsed the greater part of Europe." Our contempo-
rary asks, in a frenzy of surprise :—" Indeed ! where has
he (Sir George) been of late years ? Has be been asleep
in the mind, although bustling about in the body ? These
events, neither foreseen nor anticipated, nor expected by
him, were seen plainly approaching by every other man,
woman, and child in the United Kingdom."
We must beg to contradict our contemporary. We
distinctly remember one gentleman who, within a very
few weeks of this general embroilment, proclaimed most
oracularly, that not only might the maintenance of the
peace of the world be depended upon, but that war be-
tween nations was impossible. Free trade had exploded
field-marshals, and superseded admirals. At this very
time Mr. Cobden was not at all sleeping in his mind, and
he had previously been " bustling about in his body."
The man had but just returned from the tour of Europe.
He had actually walked over the face of the smouldering
volcano which was shortly to desolate kingdoms, and to
overthrow dynasties, and seen and heard nothing but
universal fraternity and whisperings of peace. Our con-
temporary, therefore, must except Mr. Cobden. He was
not amongst the " men, women, and children" whom our
contemporary puts down as so far-seeing.

REVIEWS.

Hooker's Journal of Botany, and Kew Garden Miscel-
lany. Edited by Sir W. J. Hooker, Director of the
Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. London : Reeve,
Benham,ad Reeve.
,

The value of this publication to the practical botanist
is very considerable. Being edited by one of the most
talented botanists of the day, having within his reach the
whole botanical wealth of the kingdom, it is to be ex-
pected that the character of the work will be commensu-
rate with these advantages ; and, as far as it has yet pro-
gressed, it has in no respect fallen short of the expecta-
tions raised by its publication ; on the contrary, each
succeeding number has improved on its predecessor. In
the present number, an interesting paper by Professor
Henslow explains most satisfactorily the anomalous ap-
pearances in the pistil of Eschscholtzia Californica, which
Dr. Lindley imagined was composed of four carpels, but
which the learned Professor clearly demonstrates to be
bicarpellary. Dr. Hooker's interesting journey is conti-
nued, and a variety of other interesting information given.

Curtis's Botanical Magazine. London: Reeve, Benham,

and Reeve.
The number for Octobcr contains descriptions and il-
lustrations of a rare Nympbzea—N. ampla ; the large
Cupania Cunninghami, of the Kew conservatory ; Aletro-
sideros florida, a beautiful New Zealand plant, which
flowered for the first time in England in May of the pre-
sent year ; Gonolobus Martianus ; Escallonia macrantha,
a beautiful novelty ' • and Brassavola Digbyana, a very
fragrant orchid, and by far the finest of this genus.

SELECT VESTRY MEETING.

YESTERDAY, a meeting of the vestry was held by ad.
journment from Tuestay last, for the purpose of agreeing
upon the contracts for the parish. The members were also
summoned specially, by circular, to consider the corre-
spondence which had taken place between Mr. Austin, the
poor-law commissioner, and Mr. Cafferata, chairman of
the workhouse committee, in reference to the office of
governor, and other appointments at the workhouse.
Mr. Churchwarden HARBORD presided. There were
also present, Messrs. Denton, Jeffery, Ireland, Shake-
shaft, Mellor, Molyneux, Gardner, Hodson, Willmer,
Blain, Cairne, Dover, Cafferata, Wylie, Johnson, Hand,
Abraham, and Whitby.
Mr. IRELAND, before the proceedings commenced,
desired to know if the meeting was a legal one, because,
if he understood it rightly, it was fixed to be held on
Tuesday (this day).
Mr. HART, the Vestry-clerk, said it was true that the
meeting was fixed for Tuestay, but the churchwardens
subsequently learnt that the day of fasting and humilia-
tion had been fixed for that day, and the meeting was
accordingly altered.
The CHAIRMAN said the meeting was strictly legal, and
he did not see how the alteration of the day could make
any difference, for he supposed none of them had any
objections to it.

-Sir:lsE.)To.• objected to the meeting, and he did so on
these grounds. He believed that there was a question to
come before them affecting the arrangements at the work-
house. The chairman of the workhouse committee was
not present,* and on that ground he intended to move an
adjournment.
Mr. MELLOR said be believed the general feeling of the
board was in favour of an adjournment, after the other
business had been disposed of.
Mr. WILLMER said it was his intention to move the
adjournment of this question until to-morrow (this day)
fortnight, and if he was in order he would do so now. He
moved that the correspondence between Mr. Austin, the
assistant Poor-law Commissioner, and Mr. Cafferatta, the
chairman of the Workhouse Committee, be taken into
consideration to-morrow (this day) fortnight.
Mr. DENTON seconded the motion.

The CHAIRMAN declined to put the motion until the
question came before the meeting in due course. The
contracts must be considered before that subject could be
entered upon.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1849-10-09

On Saturday, a child, named Mary Halton, aged five
years and a half, was put to bed with its parents living
in Lawrence-street, and in the morning was found dead,
having been overlain.
On Thursday last, an infant, named Patrick Monaghan,
died in its mother's arms, on board a steamer, whilst on
the passage from Ireland to this Port. The mother co-
vered her child with her cloak, but found the little thing
dead when she again came to behold it.
POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY.—At the monthly meeting of
this society last night, Mr. Knight read an interesting
paper on a new apparatus for regulating the flow of water
from cisterns, which seems to advance the sanatory im-
provements.

GALVANISM.—The following is extracted from the
Court Journal of January 29 :—" It is now about four
years since that we informed our readers it was to be re-
gretted galvanism was not more extensively used as a.
remedial agent. We have every reason to believe that
our advice was attended to, for in a comparatively short
time Mr. Halse's residence was crowded with the elite of
fashion and their less fortunate fellow-sufferers, and we
feel confident, judging from the astonishing remedial
effects it has produced on ourselves, after all kinds of
medicine and hydropathy had failed to impart an 3 benefit,
that the public will thank us for our recommendation.

OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK.

Stove, Conservatory, Sce.—Let the temperature of the
stove range from 60 to 65 degrees by day, and 5 or 10
degrees less at night ; but on all favourable days give
thorough ventilation. At this season, when solar light
and heat are approaching the minimum, dryness is very
essential ; therefore watering will require some care.
Succulent plants, such as cactuses, should be removed to
a cool place in the greenhouse. All they require through
the winter is protection from damp and frost.
Flower Garden.—Anv new arrangements in planting
the flower borders should be commenced as soon as the
weather is drier. Evergreens may be moved, but deci-
duous plants would be better left to the end of the month,
or even later. _

Kitchen Garden.—lf the soil is light, it would be well
to commence trenching the vacant quarters as soon as
the weather becomes drier. Potatoes should by this time
be all safely paused. Fruit should be gathered, and care-
fully handled, in dry weather.

NOTICES.

The Church of England Quarterly Review. Oct., 1840.
London : W. E. Painter, Strand.

THE present number of the Church of England Quar-
terly is very various in the style of its contents, although
maintaining generally the peculiar character which dis-
tinguishes it from the laical periodicals. Amongst the
most interesting of the reviews are those upon Milman's
Horace, Sir Thomas Philip's Wales, Bell's Memorials
of the Civil War, and Pascal's Works. There is some
pleasant reading also, in a rather gossiping style in the
notice of Cunningham's London, Past and Present; and
Bell's Wayside Pictures through France, Belgium, and
Holland. We append a few extracts from the Number.

LONDON CORN MARKET.—YEsTERDAy.

The supply of Wheat this morning, by land.carria,ge samples
from the near counties was rather short ; nevertheless, the
trade was dull, and last Monday's rates were with difficulty
maintained. A very limited amount of business was transacted
in foreign Wheat, but no alteration took place in its value.
Flour underwent no change.
Choice samples of English Malting Barley being scarce.
realized full prices, and there was a fair amount of business in
foreign for grinding and distilling purposes, at the quotations
of this day se'nnight. Old Oats maintained former rates, but
new, light qualities were easier to purchase. Beans and Peas
barely sold so well as last week,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

On Thursday Edward Kurton, an omnibus driver on
the Bootle-road, was fined 40s. and costs for endeavouring
to run down an opposition omnibus. In default of pay-
ment he was committed to gaol for two months.
ROBBERY OF A BANK NOTE.—On Friday, two boys,
about nine or ten years of age, were charged before the
magistrates with stealing a £5 note from Ellen Hum-
phries, in Park-lane. The prisoners stole the note and
secreted it in the chimney. They were remanded.
On Saturday, a man was charged with stealing a bank
post bill from the Hon. Lady Trench at Belfast, during
the recent visit of her Majesty. Mr. Rushton said the
offence waa committed beyond his jurisdiction, and the
prisoner must be sent to Belfast.
The Borough Engineer (Mr. Charles Newlands), was
charged on Friday with having allowed 150 water pipes to
lie on the quay of the Coburg Dock Basin, longer than is
allowed by low. It was stated that expenses amounting
to £35 had arisen. Mr. Rushton asked Mr. Hughes
(who appeared for the borough engineer) whether he was
prepared to pay. (Laughter.) He was fined 40s. and
and costs.

THE LATE ROBBERY OF BOOKS.—On Thursday, a
boy named John Mann was sent to gaol for two months,
for having stolen a large quantity of books (chiefly parlia-
mentary evidence and reports), the property of the late
firm of Messrs. Barton, Irlam, and Higginson. A man
named Bell. provision dealer in St. John's Market, ack-
nowledged that he had purchased 121. cwt. from the pri-
soner, when Mr. Rushton severely reprimanded him.
DAMAGING MACHINERY—SERIOUS CHARGE.—On
Wednesday, Robert Hughes, previously remanded, was
brought up at the Police-court, charged with damaging
the machinery and engine of Messrs. William and John
Norris, anchorsmiths, of Norfolk-street. It appeared
that the prisoner was engineer for Messrs. Norris, and on
Saturday night last he was discharged for neglect and
misconduct. He kept the key of the engine-house on
that evening, and, it is alleged, some time on Sunday,
went and took the packing from the engine, unscrewed
the safety valve, took the piston rod out and unpacked it,
and lowered the steam valve from its place more than
half an inch, which, had it not been discovered, would
have broken the engine side rods. He was again re-
manded.

The RATES of Premium are lower than those of any other Office
which entitle the assured to participate in the profits, and con-
siderably lower than those of any other Mutual Assurance So-

The whole of the profits are divided every fifth year among

Fifth Annual Premium, to every Policy effected on the partici-

The BONUSES declared at the three former divisions (arising
from three-fourths only of the profits), averaged 16, 31, and 36
per cent. respectively on the amounts of the premiums paid.
The BONUS declared in 1849 (arising from the whole of the

the last five years upon the Mutual Principle, averaged 624

LEGISLATION AND HORSE RAClNG.—ThePepys papers
have justly excited considerable interest since their disco-

very, or rather since we detected the key to their inter-
pretation. The gossiping style necessarily characteristic
of a diary in these documents lends interest to the quaint
phraseology of the period in which they were penned.
and historical incident- --a c--t- *l—= nnncn" 'l

and facts are thus conveyed to us
in a pleasing form, and with the additional desideratum
of a conviction of their genuineness. A diary of passing
events in our own times would be equally acceptable to
our descendants. A motion, carried in the House of
Commons on last Tuesday night, would certainly furnish
a subject for amazement, and speculation as to our social
habits, to our children of the fi,th or sixth generation.

The following is from the Art Journal for February, lii49 :
" TASSEL FASTENER.—Our lady readers will thank us for
calling their attention to an ornamental and useful invention
by ➢ir. Dismore, of Liverpool, for fastening cloaks, mantles,
&c. It consists of two pins, which may be made of the cheap-
est or most costly manufacture, from each of which a chain,
terminating with tassels, is suspended; these chains work
upon a small block or pully, and the pins being inserted, one
on each side of the garment, it may be loosened or tightened
at the discretion of the wearer, by merely drawing together
the chains. As an application of an ingenious design to a use-
ful purpose, it is worthy of mention in our columns."
