OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK.

Stove Conservatory, 40.—From the variable state of
the temperature it is necessary to be very vigilant in
giving the necessary air to plants under glass. Repot
Camellias, at the same time examine the roots thoroughly
and remove hard and exhausted soil.

FLOWER GARDEN.

Tender shrubs which have been kept in the frames, in
pots, during, the winter, may now be placed out. Atiri-
culas in frames nust be protected from night frosts.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS•

P. James.—You have quite mistaken the matter. The
Chikiwall Horticultural Society in raising its prizes at.
tempts no,riyalry or opposition to the Liverpool &hit&

tions. The reason is, the Society has been thriving ever
since its commencement, and the possession of a surplus
fund enables it to offer better prizes and extend the means
of amusement to its supporters.
T. M.—Your plant is Scillasmcena. It is not a native.

PROPOSAL FOR A POST-OFFICE. RECEIVING-
BOX ON THE LANDINGS STAGE.

There are few towns in England more destitute of post-
office accommodation than Liverpool. In London every
inhabitant can post his letters, or have an order for money
payable, within a distance of, at most, three or four hun-
dred yards of his residence. Its this large town,. contain-
ing a population of some 300,000. inhabitants, we have
but 17 receiving-offices. London has three times the
number in proportion to its population. It is only within
the last few years that a receiving-office was opened in the
Exchange Buildings ; and the want of such accommoda-
tion is felt in many parts of the town. For example, the
north end of the town, in which we have now a large
amount of business transacted, is very inefficiently ac-
commodated by a receiving-office in Regent-street and
Great Howard-street; and the accommodation provided for
the south end of the town is quite insufficient.
Whilst asking for an increase of accommodation, gene-
rally, we beg to suggest the propriety of establishing a
receiving-office on board of the great Landing Stage.
This would be an immense convenience to the community
living on the Cheshire side of the river. Many a man
passing from his office to the Cheshire side of the river
would be thus enabled to post his letters, without the
detention caused by his having to go to a receiving-house
in town ; or it will be available in case of his having for-
gotten to do so. Besides, it would be a great conveni-
ence to the inhabitants of the Cheshire side to be able to
send over their letters at a somewhat later hour than at
present is allowed them, which could easily be arranged,
the captains of most of the packets being quite suffi-
ciently respectable to be entrusted with the duty of post-
ing a few letters.

INCREASED EXPORTS OF COTTON GOODS
FOR THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 1850.

From Mr. Burn's Colonial Circular, now published, we
find that there has been an increase during the past three
months in the export of manufactured goods over that of
last year, to the following markets, viz. :—Calcutta, Ma-
dras, Sincapore, Batavia, Hong Kong, and other Chinese
ports, Mauritius, Cape of Good Hope, coast of Africa,
Jamaica, Cuba, St. Thomas, Brazil, Columbia, British
North America, and the United States. To the latter
market less has been sent during the past month than in
January and February. There is a falling off in the ex-
port to Bombay, Shanghae, Honduras, Chili and Peru,
River Plate and Mexico. The most material increase is
to Calcutta, 11,191,027 yards of plain calicoes and
2,497,905 yards of printed and dyed over the average of
the three preceding years. To Hong Kong and Canton
5,817,736 yards of plain calicoes; to the Brazils, 2,436,194
yards plain, and 1.438,957 yards printed and dyed • to
British North America, 1,525,450 yards plain and 2,997,328
printed and dyed ; and to the United States, 9285 yards
plain and 4,301,636 yards printed and dyed. The princi-
pal increase is to Bombay, 1,751,535 yards piain ; to
Chili and Peru, 3,860,063 plain and 2,701,305 yards prin-
ted ; and River Plate, 1,986,627 plain and 861,431 yards
printed.

POLICE- INTELLIGENCE.

James Davidson and John Murphy were on Friday
committed for three months for attempting to pick a
lady's pocket in Castle-street.
ROBBERY OF MONEY.—Thomas Cole was charged with
stealing £4B from Mr. George Ross. Mr. Ross stated
he resided at 28, Bold-street, and that on Thursday even-
ing he went to Postoffice-place to post two letters; while
there he was robbed. The money was found on the pri-
soner. The prisoner, and also a young woman, were
brought up yesterday on this charge. The prosecutor, it
appeared, is a traveller, residing when at home, in Hatton-
garden, Lyndon. The name of the male prisoner, though
calling himself Cole, is said to be Connolly. The girl was
observed to be in company with Cole, and a considerable
portion of the money (£2B), was found upon them. The
evidence was taken against them preliminary to their
being sent for trial.

BURGLARY.—John Davies, a man of colour, and Sarah
Kenny. were charged with breaking into the publie-house
kept by Mr. Wm. Watson, Waterloo-road, and stealing
a quantity of goods. A policeman found some of the
stolen property on searching the prisoners' house, and a
pawnbroker stated the female pawned a coat and a pair cf
trousers at his shop, which were identified by the owner.
Committed for trial.

ROBBERY OF WEARING APPAREL.—A lad, about ten
years old, was charged with obtaining a coat and trousers
under false pretences. Mrs. Blundell, Industrial School,
Soho-street, stated the prisoner came to her house ard
said that her husband had sent him for his best coat and
trousers, which she accordingly gave, but since discovered
he had not sent for them. The prisoner, who is at the
school, was apprehended with the property in his posses-
sion. Committed for trial.

AN EMIGRANT STOWED AWAY IN SALT.—O❑ Thurs-
day Andrew Dunn was charged with having defrauded
Patrick Cain of £2. Complainant was about to emigrate
to America. He met the prisoner and paid him £2, as
he supposed, on account of the passage-money. When
about to sail he demanded it back, but was refused. The
prisoner advised him to stow himself away in the vessel,
which he accordingly did, in some salt. He was there
discovered, and given in the custody of a police officer.
The prisoner asserted the £2 was a loan which he in-
tended to repay. The case was remanded.
A HUSBAND ATTEMPTING TO MURDER HIS WIFE.—
On Thursday Walter "Wallace was charged with brutally
assaulting his wife, with intent to murder her. The pri-
soner had lately returned from New Orleans. On Tues-
day Miss Wallace,. hearing screams proceeding from the
bed-room in which prisoner and his wife slept, attempted
to enter it, and, having at last forced the door, found
Mrs. Wallace on the floor bleeding. The prisoner was
kicking her, and expressed his regret he had not his boots
on that he might kill her. Prisoner said his wife had
provoked him, although she knew, when he was drunk,
he lost his temper. He was committed for trial on a
charge of aggravated assault.

DARING ROBBERY.—On Wednesday, John Smith, a
young man, was charged with committing a most daring
robbery. On the night of the Bth instant, a respectable
widow lady, named Wreake, keeping a shop in Dukr
street, was attending to her usual avocations, when the
prisoner entered and asked for half an ounce•of tobacco,
which was given him, and for which he placed half a so-
vereign on the counter in payment. Mrs. Wreake took
out her purse, containing five pounds in gold, and eight
shillings in silver, when the prisoner snatched the purse
and its contents, and made his escape. When taken, the
prisoner denied the charge, but Mrs. Wreake clearly iden-
tified him. He was well-known to the police, and was
committed for trial to the sessions.

SINGULAR CIJARGE.—A young man, dressed as a Sol-
dier, was charged with not belonging to any regiment.
The prisoner said he was in a public-house with some
soldiers, one of whome asked him to try on his regimen-
tals, which he did. Immediately afterwards the soldier
disappeared. Mr. Rushton expressed a conviction that
the prisoner had been completely duped ; but the man, on
the other band, seemed very well satisfied with the change
which had come over his external condition, and expressed
his willingness to serve the Queen and country by at once
enlisting into the regiment the dress of which he had tem-
porarily assumed. Mr. Rushton recommended the officer
from the barracks to take charge of him, and said that,
perhaps, they would get a good man in the place of a bad
one.

ESCAPE OF A PRISONER.—On Thursday a young man
named John Smith, who had been committed for trial on
a charge of stealing a purse from Mrs. Wrake, a tobacco-
dealer, in Duke-street, contrived to escape from custody.
Smith was waiting, with several other prisoners, under
the police-court, after having been removed from the
dock ; and it appears that, as the turnkey, M'Coombe,
took some water into one of the cells, Smith, who had
evidently been watching his opportunity, immediately
sprang forward, and, grasping the unfortunate turnkey by
the back of the neck, pushed him forward into the cell
with great violence, at the same time snatching the keys.
He then closed and bolted the door of the cell, and, leav-
ing poor M'Coombe a prisoner, made the best of his way,
by means of the acquired keys, through the iron gates,
and into Chapel-street, where he threw down the instru-
ments of his deliverance and completed his escape. In
the meantime the cries of the turnkey brought some of
the officers out of the court to his release, but the thief
had got clear off, and has not since been heard of. S.nith
is described as a respectably-dressed young man.

At a very large meeting, on Monday, in Manchester,
of working men, an address was voted to the Rev. Canon
Stowell " for his honest and uncompromising advocacy o
Scriptural education for the working classes."

On Tuesday, the usual fortnightly fair took place in
Prescot. The show of cattle was very indifferent, with
very few buyers at reduced prices. The yearly show of
entire horses took place after the cow fair was over.
On Tuesday evening, a crowded meeting was held at
the Free-trade Hall, Manchester, to oppose the scheme
of the Lancashire School Association for secular educa-

many of the clergy and leading gentry were present.
The following gentlemen have just been appointed ma-

PORPOISES IN THE DEE.—On Sunday, a large con.
course of persons assembled on the Old Bridge and the
City Walls, Chester, to watch the gambols of some por-
poises, which had come up the river with the title as high
as the causeway. Several " Stylonians" resolved, if
possible, to capture these enemies of the salmon tribe,
and, after " dodging" them for several hours, they suc-
ceeded in netting two young ones, which weighed 601bs.
each.

THE WATER SCHEME.—On Wednesday Dr. Playfair
paid a visit to Bolton, when to the water valves were
attached the patent canvass pipes in Higher Bridge-
street, and water was thrown from several hose conside-
rably above the highest buildings. By the adoption of
the new valves and canvass pipes there can be no ques-
tion as to its utility ; but, on the occasion, it was more
in evidence to show the advantage cleavable to Liver-
pool from such a source, although with the ocean at its
foot.—Manchester Courier.

On the Ist inst. a little girl was playing near the bark
mill at the tannery of Mr. Miller, at Whittle, near
Preston. She was told to go away, but instead she got on
the box near the mill, and started the horse again.
Whilst so employed, her clothes were caught between two
cog wheels, and her leg was also drawn in. Hcr screams
brought out Mr. Miller and the man who had before
warned her, and, the horse being stopped, she was extri-
cated and conveyed nome. She died, however, a few days
after.

A man named Gregory, of Manchester, has been com-
mitted for trial at the assizes, charged with stabbing a
young woman named Martha Cook. She and the pri-
soner had been keeping company for some time past. On
Monday evening she had been walking with him, and
was parting with him in Bridge street, in order to go
home, when the prisoner stabbed her in the side of the
breast with a knife. There had been no unpleasantness
between them, and they were both perfectly sober. She
was conveyed to the infirmary by her landlady. The pri-
soner had stabbed the girl once before, but he was drunk
at the time.
DEATH FROM A BROKEN HEART.—Our obituary of
last week contained the death, at Ulverston, of Eleanor,
the wife of Mr. James Ferguson, compositor. We have
now to mention the death of her husband, which took
place on Monday last, immediately after the remains of
his wife had been taken to their last resting place. They
had been married about twelve months, and on Tuesday
Mrs. Ferguson was confined, and died on the Thursday
following. From the time of her death he never seemed
to notice anything, being quite absorbed in grief, and
when his wife's corpse was taken out of the church to the

grave he was taken very ill, and conveyed home. Surgical
assistance was called for, but death put a period to his
sufferings the same night. He was a very promising
young man, and was the son of Mr. Ferguson, portrait
painter, of this town.—Preston Pilot.

MURDEROUS ATTACK BY A BOY AT MANCHESTER:.
On Thursday, at the borough-court, Manchester, a boy
about :slat en years of age, named James Smith, • was
charged with attempting to cut a lady's throat on the pre-
vious evening. Mrs. Knight said her husband was a
pawnbroker in Butler-street, Oldham-road, and the pri-
soner had been in their employment for some time past.
On Wednesday evening she was in the kitchen with the
prisoner, no one else being in the house at the time, when
the latter, who was engaged in cleaning knives, struck at
her from behind with a carving knife, using apparently
the blunt edge, as the wound was not very serious. She
screamed for assistance ; and as soon as she had escaped
from the boy's grasp, took refuge in the house of a neigh.
bour. Mr. Knight said the boy had been detected on the
previous Saturday stealing some money from the shop,
and he thought he had perhaps been actuated by a desire
for revenge in committing the violence with which he was
charged. The prisoner pretended that the assault was
committed by a man whose dress he described, who had
got in unobserved, and afterwards had effected his escape;
but this could not be true, according to Mrs. Knight's
account. The prisoner was committed to the sessions.
PORT NATAL.—Mr. John Galloway, who has returned
to Manchester from this distant colony, has received two
samples of cotton of his own growth, which he has sub-
mitted to the Manchester Chamber of Commerce. The
seed (American Sea Island) was sown in September, Oc-
tober, and November, 1848; and the picking extended
from March or April, to June, 1849. When Mr. Galloway
left Natal, in Jauuary, the plants were again bearing, more
fully and with better promise than last year. As a proof
of the fertility of the soil, we may mention that in the
same garden seven fine pine plants were fruiting in January
last, besides forty or fifty young plants thriving. At the
same time were growing fine stems of Virginia tobacco,
seven feet high ; young fig-trees, planted from slips, which
there grow and fruit well ; the very hedgerows near Pieter-
maritzburg consisting of figs and pomegranates, though
the ell ate there is colder tha❑ that of Mr. Galloway's
location. In his garden, youngorange and lemon trees were
growing well. He had a good crop of potatoes from Ger-
man seed, free from rot. Twelve months since he planted
six bananas, which have since that time multiplied ; there
are now thirty, and in January last one of them was fruit-
ing. Land at Natal is rapidly increasing in value, some
of it commanding £5 an acre. The Manchester Guardian,
from which we derive the information given, thus advises
emigrants going to Port Natal :—" We are assured that
the best way is, for persons emigrating, either to take out
their money in sovereigns, insuring the amount ; or, what
is perhaps better, to pay it into the London and West-
minster Bank, which establishment furnish a draft on the
Cape of Good Hope Bank, at Cape Town. This bank, on
receiving that draft, will honour the emigrant's cheques,
sent by the trading schooners (fortnightly) from Natal to
the Cape."

ST. HeLEN'S SAVING'S BANK.—The amount of the
liability of the bank is £25,000. Against that the trus-
tees and managers have £12,000 in the hands of govern-
ment. They are in negotiation with parties for the
purchase of the shares held by the Johusons in the
colliery; and the report of the mine surveyor, upon which
depends the price to be paid, will be delivered, we believe,
to-day. It is expected that at least £12,000 will be re-
ceived from this source, perhaps more; and, if the nego-
tiation with the present party be concluded, the money will
be ready at a very short notice. Then the trustees have
realised about £5OO nett by the sale of household furni-
ture, and they expect to realise—say £soo—from the
flats on the Mersey, the property of William Johnson,
though there is some doubt about this property. Adding
these items together, they amount to £25,000, the exact
liability of the bank. 'We believe the legal claims amount
to £22,000, and all the money in the bank, and all the
results of the sale of the property, will be applicable to
the payment of those claims to the exclusion of all private
creditors, because the deed of trust which was given by the
Johnsons to the trustees and managers expressly stipulates
for the satisfaction of all legal claims in full. Then there
will be the £3,000 of illegal deposits, and parties con-
cerned in them will have an interest in the surplus of the
£25,000, as creditors on the private estate of the John-
sans, for the trustees hold the property or the proceeds of
the sale on trust—first, to be applied in satisfaction of all
legal claims, and, secondly, to apply the surplus in respect
of money deficient, received illegally, and applied to their
own use by the Johnsons, while acting as servants of the
bank. There are, of course, private creditors upon the
estate who will have to take their share with those who
have unfortunately been duped, and that will reduce the
sum total. We cannot give precise information as to
what will eventually be paid ; that is dependent on so
many contingencies, that it is unsafe to speculate ; but
those with whom we have conversed think that 16s. in
the pound upon the illegal deposits, and the whole of the
legal deposits, as we understand them. The private
deLts, the cost of conducting the inquiry, and the expense
of prosecuting the two men, (which had to be paid by the
trustees out of the estate,) will considerably reduce the
surplus left after paying the legal claims. Nor can we
say when or how the amount will be paid ; but there
seems no reason to doubt that 6s. Bd., perhaps 10s., can
be paid in the course of next month ; indeed, we believe
Mr. Pratt gave an assurance to that effect, and the re-
mainder as soon as more funds are realised.-111ancheater
Courier.

TAXES : HOW TO LESSEN THEM CONSIDERABLY.
STRONG ARGUMENTS AND STARTLING FACTS WHICH
CANNOT BE CONTRADICTED.—The numerous and accu-
mulated profits which real consumers have to pay for
various articles, afford a good opportunity of laying bare
the position of some houses compared with others ; and
it is our purpose to elucidate how and why it is—convinced
that we shall be enabled to throw a strong light on this hitherto
neglected subject, and prove the enormous taxation thus laid
on domestic expenditure. In order to hold this system up to
public investigation, we shall endeavour to show, in the first
place, simply the number and extent of the profits that all
classes are really burthened with :-Ist, profit arises from ma-
nufacturers buying articles in the raw state; 2nd, profit arises
from merchants purchasing from the manufacturers ; 3rd,
profit arises from London or wholesale houses buying from our
merchants; 4th, profit arises from small retailers having to
purchase front wholesale houses; sth, profit arises from small
tradesmen's exorbitant charges to the consumer I Now, upon
a just calculation, these live profits amount to at least 50 per
cent., or ten shillings in every twenty.' thus involving a prin-
ciple so extravagant to the pockets, that it needs only to
'be enquired into to be thoroughly understood. But as
there is no rule without an exception, we will next allude
to one establishment where the artizan can get his cloth-
ing at first cost, and where the proprietor has no interme-
diate profits to pay; need we say that we allude to B. H YAM,
national tailor and clothier, 63, Lord-street, Liverpool. He
manufactures extensively for his own branches in every stage,
from the raw material to the most superbly finished coat, at
"one cost" and at " one profit." This, then, accounts for his
vast success and the extraordinary low prices at which he can
afford to sell his clothing; in fact, it is well known by the
public that he sells the most superior description of garments
lower, infinitely lower, than any other smaller establishment
charge for interior. Now, we ask the reader a simple question
—Does it not sound to reason that livasi has advantages for
supplying the million 40 per cent. lower than others? Certainly
he has! and this he unquestionably does— thus saving the
pockets of all, more than any person could imagine, did they
not dive into the minutia of the mys'eries of clothing. Again,

blishments in the United Kingdom, viz. :—London, 36, Grace-
