HORTICULTURE.

FLOWER GARDEN.—The weather, upon the whole,
during; the last week, has been favourable to external
vegetation, although unseasonably cold. In the flower-
borders we now see the hardy herbaceous plants forming
their tufts of flower-stems ; and those who appreciate
quality before quantity, will do well to thin these tufts by
removing all the weakest shoots; the result will be in-
creased strength to those which are left. Much of the
effect of those fine old border plants, which used to con-
stitute the principal glory of our gardens, is lost by allow-
ing them to weaken ,themselves by forming too many
flowering stems, by which they suffer not only in the
greater weakness of the whole plant, but also in the size
and colour of the flowers. Begin to harden off the bud-
ding-stock of Verbenas, Calceolarias, &c., in cold frames,
well ventilated during the day. Tulips in beds need pro-
tection, as we are not yet free from the chance of snow
and hail, which did much mischief last week. Harden
off the new stock of Dahlias.

KITCHEN GARDEN.—In small vegetable gardens the
whole of the crops are now in a growing state, and should
be assisted by nice management of the ground. The hoe
should be kept well employed, both for the purpose of
keeping down weeds and also for keeping the soil open
and fre; for the action of the rain and atmosphere.
Peas, Beans, Sallading, and most of the ordinary seeds
may still be sown.

VILLANOUS ACT.—The Bath Chronicle says :—Some
scoundrel broke into the stables of the Globe and White
Hart Inns, :Somerton, one night last week, and cut the
hamstrings of two valuable horses, one of them worth
two hundred guineas. The brutality was so effectual that
it was necessary to kill the animals.
THE INQUISITION.—By a decree of the Roman In-
quisition, dated April 24, Macaulay's History of England
is placed in the index of forbidden writings. The same
distinction is awarded somewhat tardily to the Scripture
lessons published by the British Government in 1835, for
use in Irish national schools.

TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 10, 1853.

THE WEEK.

THE opening of the merry month of May, ever
suggestive of pleasant associations, has not been
without its interest, notwithstanding the face of
nature has hardly yet put on the livery of smiling
Spring. The meeting on the Roodee, at Chester,
as the commencement of the racing season, at-
tracted thousands of visitors from all parts of the
kingdom, from the proud peer to the poor peasant.
But Chester was not suffered to monopolise all the
interest, for the worthy Mayor of Liverpool enter-
tained a party of distinguished guests in honour of
the Great Exhibition in Dublin, which is to be
opened with due ceremony on Thursday next, and
for the success of which the most lively anticipa-
tions are indulged in. Indeed, Liverpool has done
her portion in contributing specimens of her skill
and industry, and will furnish an ample quota of
visitors, for %%horn the commodious steam-boats
will furnish such a comfortable means of transit;
and though many will avail themselves of the
Chester and Holyhead line, in order to diminish
the sea voyage, we may look to see a goodly
number take advantage of the excellent line of
steamers from this port to Dublin.
The Town Council met on Wednesday, and

though the counter attraction of the race for the
Cup thinned the numbers who attended, a large
amount of business was got through, if we may
judge by the number and the length of the speeches.
There was evidently an anxiety to get away, and as
such a weakness was very pardonable under the
circumstances, it would have been much better to

have assembled pro forma, and adjourned till the
following week. The Council would have found a
sufficient precedent in the House of Commons, who
invariably adjourn over the Derby day.
Yesterday there was a singular change in the
weather, unparalleled in the memory of the oldest
inhabitant. When morning broke, the country
around presented the appearance of rnid-winter—
the fields, trees, houses, and everything being co-
vered with a heavy coating of snow, which was
then rapily falling, and continued to do so during
the greater part of the day, gradually changing to

The monotony of a purely business debate on
the Budget, in the House of Commons, on Thurs-
day night, was strangely relieved by the escapades
of a young member of the Irish Brigade, rejoicing
in the name of DUFFY. Stung with mortification
at the break-up of his little party, he openly ac-
cused the Ministry of corruption, surpassing the
days of the WALPOLES and the PELIIAMS ; but
expressed his feelings in such ambiguous terms,
that the meaning of his charge became an element
in the disorderly discussion which ensued. With
an anxiety for martyrdom, he declined to retract or
explain ; but the next night he made his apology,
and the affair ended. He is a worthy specimen of
the legislators elected by the intimidation of Romish
priests, and other political fire-brands.

GOVERNMEN C PATRONAGE.

A COMMITTEE of the House of Commons has been
sitting day by day, to investigate a charge against
Mr. STAFFORD, the late Secretary of the Admiralty,
of having corruptly exercised the patronage of his
office, in order to secure political advantages at the
last election. There is such a morbid pretension to
purity of motives in all professing Radicals, that
every admission made during the inquiry has been
eagerly seized upon as a proof of political enormity,
and as the Chairman of the Committee is that
thorough-paced partisan Lord SEYMOUR, no op-
portunity has been neglected of making the case as
black as possible. After all that has been elicited,
however, even including the examination of the
accused, who delivered his evidence with an unre-
served frankness that was refreshing, the mountain
has brought forth but a mouse, whatever may be
the decision of the petty inquisition. It would ap-
pear that Mr. STAFFORD) 48 Secretary of the Acl-

`NATIONAL EDUCATION.

THE promised measure of Lord.JoHN RUSSELL, -to
provide more extensively for the education of the
rising generation, has made but little progress since
its first announcement, owing to the lengthened
discussions on the CHANCELLO& of the ExcHE-
QUER'S 'Budget, and the episodes -to which it has
given rise. Eufficient, however,"has transpired to
-show that the ;whole plan is comprised in an exten-
-sion of the aid granted to schools conducted under
the existing regulations of the Committee of Privy
'Council. From the discussion which has taken
place on the subject out of Parliament, it would
appear that this will merely involve additional
expense, without in any way meeting the difficulty
against which it ,is proposed to provide. Schools
have been already established to a very great extent,
efficient instructors are being trained under the
grant already voted by Parliament, and the want
more often apparent is scholars rather than the
means for their instruction. So long as ,parents,
from ignorance., or cupidity, or carelessness, see no
necessity nor advantage in their children 'being
educated, their hapless offspring will grow ,up in
ignorance and its attendant crime, notwithstanding
the many schools that may be open to receive them,
and the earnestness of the invitations to them-to
enter. Even the required penny a week will, in too
many cases, prove an insuperable obstacle; where
that would be overcome, the necessary neatness
and cleanliness will be withheld, and there are the
further hindrances of many being occupied in labour
and often begging, and the unwillingness of parents
•to restrain the natural inclination of children to
play and idleness. All these aids to ignorance will
not be overcome by building schools and making
grants of money to maintain them,. What is really
required, whether practicable or not, is the compul-
sory instruction of all who need it, and Lord JOHN
RUSSELL will never accomplish the object which
he professes to have in view unless he can devise
some means by which every child shall be compelled
to receive the education provided by the State,
unless its parents provide for it by some other
means. This was partially attempted during the
administration of Sir ROBERT PEEL, by the bill
which proposed to forbid the employment in fac-
tories of any child who had not a certificate of
having attended a certain time at school ; but the
Dissenters took the alarm, and commenced such a
vigorous agitation against the bill that the Ministry
gave it up; but something of a similar nature,
though more comprehensive, will have to be done
before a step will be made in saving the country
from the fatal consequences of its poorer popula-
tion growing up in ignorance and infidelity.

CATTLE MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 9.—The market this day was not large,
et a very heavy and incessant fall of snow, from early morning
till one o'clock, when the business is generally over, rendered
the business done dull and unprofitable for holders of stock,
and of Lambs in particular, which appeared as if out of their
proper season. Best Heifer Beef made 60 ; second quality,

THE LIVE'R'PO:O L PETITION.
THE selection •of .a 'Committee of the House of
Commons to investigate the merits of the Petition
against Messrs. .C. TturNER and FORBES 111k0-
KENZIE, as Representatives of Liverpool, has been
fixed for Monday, ths:23d instant. It has been
generally supposed that the proceedings have been
carried on more with a view of extorting a com-
promise than with any reasonable hope of success
and the unscrupulous -means which have been Te-
sorted to, in order toiobtain evidence, will serve to
confirm this view of the affair. We could refer to
several instances where- Conservative electors have
been called upon by persons falsely professing to
be in the Conservative interest, in order to entrap
them into admissions in seeming confidence. 'ln
one case, the Radical emissary gave different names
at different t►mes, and narrowly escaped incarcera-
tion on suspicion of felony, as a great coat had been
missed from the house, where he failed in getting
anything else. 'Such attempts only prove the
desperate nature of the cause which requires to be
bolstered up by falsehooa and trickery.

REFLECTEURS TROUPEAU.

DIURNAL REFLECTORS.
PA TENTED IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE, &c.
MTROUPEAU, Inventor and Manufacturer,
• begs to introduce to the Members of the Architectural
Profession and the Public in general his Patented DIURNAL
REFLECTORS, admitted to the Great Exhibition.
The application of the above Invention is to Reflect the Day-
light in dark places where gas could not conveniently he used.
Apartments, Warehouses, Offices, Wharfs, Staircases, Kitchens,
&c. can be fitted with the Apparatus.
They are recommended especially to parties anxious to pre-
serve their sight and their health—so often injured or lost by
the influence of artificial light.
The prices vary from 16s. to £5, and upwards, according to
size; a charge comparatively trifling, inasmuch as they are
Silver Plated, manufactured by a scientific process, and so
constructed as to give excellent light for a period of several
years, without any additional expense whatever. (A propor-
tionate reduction in the price is made on large orders.)
In France, and in the United Kingdom, the Patent Diurnal
Reflectors have been successfully adopted in palaces, govern-
ment offices, churches, warehouses, &c. The number now
fitted up exceeds 10,000.
In England, the Commissioners of the Great Exhibition—in
France, la Societe d'Encouragement and l'Academie de l'ln-
dustrie Francaise, have given prize medals and rewards to M.
Troupeau, Sole Inventor, Manufacturer, and Patentee. The
Universal Academy of Industry, both in England and France,
have also admitted M. Troupeau a Member.

To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

SIR,—We are very much indebted to you for the insertion of
the letter last week respecting the unaccountable arrangement
of the times of the trains. No other conclusion can be ar-
rived at than that the motive of the ruling powers (whoever
they may be) is to injure the property by inconveniencing as
much as possible the passengers. Is it not preposterous that
we are to have no train from 4 p.m. to 5 20 (called 5 10 p.m.),
seeing most of us are at liberty off 'Change at 4 30 p.m., and
other times are equally ill-arranged. We are contemplatkg a

our grievances, when you shall hear further from your obliged

afford but a slender guarantee for the stability of his
throne. But this cannot prevent us from sympathising
with him and his imperial consort on the occasion of so
severe a disappointment ; nor can we regard otherwise
than with unmitigated disgust the conduct displayed at
the ball at the Tuileries, which there was not time to
countermand, when the guests, after being made aware
of the indisposition of the Empress, and of its alarming
cause, went on dancing, eating, and drinking, as if no-
thing was the matter.—John Bull.
ANECDOTE OF A DOG.—On Thursday morning, the
24th ult., says The Newark (U.S.) Daily Advertiser, a
boy:six years old, son of A. L. Stiger, proprietor of the
Heath House, Schooley's Mountain, while sliding on a
fish pond, a short distance from the house, fell in. His
faithful dog sat by him, and tried to pull him out, and in
doing so pulled his hat and mittens off. When life was
nearly extinct, a boy, who was riding by, saw the dog
sitting on the ice by a hat. The dog commenced barking
as soon as the boy came in sight, and attracted his atten-
tion, so that he gave the alarm at the store, a few rods
from the pond, when immediate assistance was received.
The men were obliged to secure the dog, as he would not
let them touch the child, who, when recovered, though
to all appearance dead, was, in the course of a few
hours, restored to animation.
A SWINDLING BRIDEGROOM ARRESTED.-011 the 21st
ult., the French police-officers were in waiting at the rail-
way-station at Strasburg, and on the arrival of the first
train they politely invited one of the passengers to follow
them to the Police-office. He was a gentleman from
Baden, proceeding to Paris, on his way to the United
States. The traveller, it appears. had demanded a young
lady in marriage residing near Baden : the match had been
agreed on, and all the preliminary formalities had been
gone through ; and on the day but one before the pro-
posed marriage, the father of the bride had paid over her
fortune to the bridegroom, in gold. No sooner, however,
had he received the money than he proceeded to the next
railway-station, negociated his passage to the United
Stares, and getting on to the first train, set off towards
Paris, carrying away the fortune but leaving the bride.
After he had departed it was found that part of the
papers which he had produced to determine the marriage
were forged, and it being cleared that he was a rascal, a
telegraphic dispatch was sent off to the Minister of Police
at Paris, requesting him to call the runaway lover to be
apprehended. This was done on his arrival at Strasburg.
On being searched the greater part of the money was
found in his possession ; the rest having been spent on the
journey, or in paying his passage to America. The papers
said to be forged were also found upon him, and be was
given up to the Baden authorities to take his trial as a
forger and a swindler.—Jortrnal des Dads.

4,Carees, WILLIAM J. FITZSIMONS, Commander ;
A 1 at Lloyd's I 1,380 tons register.
This ship, which from her model is expected to sail very fast,
has all her passenger arrangements on a novel and peculiar
plan, affording an amount of light and ventilation such as no
other passenger ship ever possessed; and as these arrangements
have involved the sacrifice of 100 berths of passengcrs, for which
she had space. there is no risk of the ship being overcrowded.
An examination of the ship is respectfully requested from all
intending emigrants, when this will he seen and appreciated.

PROVISION MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 6.—The demand for Beef continues of
the same retail character that has prevailed for several weeks
past. Holders of the better descriptions are firm, but ordinary
sorts are pressed on the market at low prices. There is some-
what more firmness in Pork, the recent advance in America
leads to the opinion that the supply from thence will not be so
heavy as was lately anticipated. For Bacon the demand is
rather active, and it would appear that at 47s to 48s for the
best western the consumption would be good, but over this
figure the dealers say they cannot get on. At an advance of 6d
Per cwt. sales of Lint reach 150 tons, and holders are now very
firm. Cheese sells freely at last week's prices.

HORTICULTURE.

PLOWER GARDEN.—The weather, upon the whole,
during' the last week, has been favourable to external
vegetation, although unseasonably cold. In the flower-
borders we now see the hardy herbaceous plants forming
their tufts of flower-stems ; and those who appreciate
quality before quantity, will do well to thin these tufts by
removing all the weakest shoots; the result will be in-
creased strength to those which are left. Much of the
effect of those fine old border plants, which used to con-
stitute the principal glory of our gardens, is lost by allow-
ing them to weaken .themselves by forming too many
flowering stems, by which they suffer not only in the
greater weakness of the whole plant, but also in the size
and colour of the flowers. Begin to harden off the bud-
ding-stock of Verbenas, Calceolarias, &c., in cold frames,
well ventilated during the day. Tulips in beds need pro-
tection, as we are not yet free from the chance of snow
and hail, which did much mischief last week. Harden
off the new stock of Dahlias.

KITCHEN GARDEN.—In small vegetable gardens the
whola of the crops are now in a growing state, and should
be assisted by nice management of the ground. The hoe
should be kept well employed, both for the purpose of
keeping down weeds and also for keeping the soil open
and free for the action of the rain and atmosphere.
Peas, Beans, Sallading, and most of the ordinary seeds
may still be sown.

VILLANOUS ACT.—The Bath Chronicle says :—Some
scoundrel broke into the stables of the Globe and White
Hart Inns, Somerton, one night last week, and cut the
hamstrings of two valuable horses, one of them worth
two hundred guineas. The brutality was so effectual that
it was necessary to kill the animals.

THE INQUISITION.-By a decree of the Roman In-
quisition, dated April 24, Macaulay's History of England
is placed in the index of forbidden- writings. The same
distinction is awarded somewhat tardily to the Scripture
lessons published by the British Government in 1835, for
use in Irish national schools.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY.

During no week in the year is Manchester so much deserted
by the racing fraternity, as during the Chester Spring Meeting,
nor has this week been an exception; consequently we are
unable to give a list of quotations upon future events ; but from
information we have received from Chester, we are enabled to
say that West Australian for the Derby remains firm at 3 to 1 ;
12 to 1 was offered against Honeywood, with a disposition to
lay, and 1000 to 15 was offered against Brother to Shy lock.
