A Scene.

The London papers by the Canads
furnishes the following particulars Of
the fatal accident at the Music Hall,
Surry Gardens, while the Rev. Mr.
Spurgeon was preaching.
Before the service commenced the
enthusiasm within, and even without,
the building was intense. After the
preacher had proceeded for some min
utes, on a sudden the hysterical scream
and subsequent fainting of a female in
the gallery to the left of Mr.. s. aud of
the further end of the building, occas-
toned a commotion. Presently, the PEG.
pie at the door cried "f.e"-Qhere re-
ally had been a strong smell of fire a
few minutes previously)-others called
out:-fThe building! the building is
falling!" ard then from above, in gal
~leries, in the hall, and from all sides,
rose a volly of screams aud shrieks,
which were followed by a terrific rush
to the door.
The preacher paused in terror.
Viewed from the orchestra, the body of
the hall presented a scene of dire con-
fusion and agonized excitement. For
tunately the floor being encountered by
seats, a moments obstruction was given
to the rush. That moment saved the
lives of many who would have been over
whelmed in tie tremendous onset to-
ward tho door, and gave time for more
tranquil observation.
The preacher, recovering himself, i'm
plored silence, assured the people of
safety, and while the shrieks and screams
still resounded, and terrible groans were
beginning to be heard, set up a hymn,
which, at first, loudly chanted from the
orchestra, soon spread itself over the
troubled Congregation in the body of the
hall, who now seeing the roof still above
them, and the galleries still crowded
with listeners, terror stricken, yet eager
ly hanging upon the preachers words,
thus encouraged, Joined in the hymn.
Not SO in the galleries. There .
rush was made to the circular staircase
on the right side facing the entrance.
Down this a stream of frightened men,
women and children poured, rushing on
in terror, and impelled from behind by
crowds in still greater alarm. Turning
upon the stairs of the second gallery a
slight curve is made by the balustrades.
There, unfortunately, from the over
whelming pressure, the mahogany hand
rail broke, and the balustrades gave
way, one after the other, for about three
yards, Urged by the crowd above, those
below fell over the sides, down. the wall
staircase, to the stone floor beneath.
The first who tumbled over was a we'll
dressed woman, who struck upon her
head and died without a groan; the Sec
ond, another respectfully dressed female
who fell screaming in agony, with a
child clasped in her arms then came
another woman, then w men, and 9th
ers followed. Meantime, the crowd
from the end of the hall below were
rushing round the passage, forcing their
way outwards over the dead and dying.
The groaus aud screams we're such as
might be fancied of Pandemonium.

ING as lO3 to 42-length OF the straw

The following letter from Mr.. @. v.
Mundy in relation to wheat growing in
California, will be read with interest
j. PAYNE Lowe, Esq-Dear SIR d:
I duly received your letter, asking for
such information as I am possessed of
in relation to wheat culture in Cali
~ifornia, the different varieties grown
there, mode of culture, produce per acre,
insects that prey upon it, &C." and pro-
coed to answer, that all the varieties
known to me have been successfully
tried in California, and some which
were not before known, as the three
headed, and one other variety, samples
of which I presented to Prof Mapes,
but that which is most cultivated is
white Gillian and Oregon wheat, the
latter from Gillian seed.
Mr.. j. F. Davis, formerly of Ontario
County, N. Y, who has besn for nearly
five years in the San Jose Valley, and
for the lest three years made a business
of reaping and thrashing, and whose
statements I have been informed were
perfectly reliable, assured me that he
had harvested small crops which yield
ed over oNE D PER ACRE.
These of course are maximum crops,
while the smallest quantity ] have heard
of was thirty two bushels per acre. One
hundred pounds per acre is the quantity
usually sown.
I have never heard of any ravages
from insects on wheat in California,
weighs more and is less liable to Sneut
which is the great drawback to the val
ne of the wheat crop in California;
The third crop often produces a fair
yield.
The prolific growth and immense
yield of almost every kind of cereals,
as well as roots, in California, are in
credible tn agriculturists in the Allan
tic States. The premium for wheat at
the State Fair of 1854, was awarded to
J. Bryant Hill, Esq, for ten acres
which produced eighty two and a half
bushels per acre, of 60 lbs. per bushel.
The balance of his crop fifty acres)
yielding wei sixty bushels per acre
It is proper to remark here, that the
premium was not awarded to Mr.. Hill
for the largest yield per acre, but for a
large yield of superior quality.
The mode of culture as practiced in
the vallies aud along the river bottoms
the only places where agriculture has
been pursued as a business by our citi-
zens, would be a novelty here. Once
blowing is sufficient for two, and some
times even three crops, in favorable To-
calities, and that without manure of any
kind, the first crop yielding from so to
60 bushels per acre. The second, or,
as la is there called, the volunteer crop,
rarely falling short in quantity, and al
ways considered of a better quality,
though L cannot say there have been
none. The only complaint which I have
heard from farmers and millers in refer
ence TO the wheat crop, has been of the
inordinate quantity of smut to which it
is liable, caused, perhaps, by it's excess
i've growth and the humidity of the at
mosphere.

An interesting discovery hs

u An interesting discovery mas
been made in France, with regard to
ENGRAVING fruit trees. Instead of max
ing use of a graft, a slip is taken, from
an apple tree for example, and planted
in potatoe, so that a couple of inches of
the slip remain visible. Il soon takes
root, developes itself, and finally becomes
a handsome tree, bearing fine fruit. This
method is due to a Bohemian gardner.
MA panther was shot a few days
since neal West Greenwich. Rhode Is

thin in flesh. He probably was on an
"Ezcursion," hence his lean condition.

during the Iall the grown was not
prolific, but at harvest time the plants
were fully developed. The seed was
found on examination to be Of excellent
quality, and larger sized than would be
indicated by an external examination of
the ear. The soil upon which it was
grown was in excellent condition, both
mechanically and chemically for the
growing of wheat; having received spec
ial treatment (est the variety not being
native of this country, should fail to
grow to full size, and thereby lose a
specimen, which having black beard, is
! very novel in its character,) SO that the
experiment made would hardly enable a
person to compare it correctly with the
ordinarily cultivated varieties; if the
object be to ascertain whether, when
grown upon the same soil, and governed
by the same circumstances, it would be
superior or inferior for general purposes.
During the coming season there will be
an opportunity to test it with the view
spoken of. 1 think, however, that alter
it shall have become fully acclimated,
that it will not only be looked upon as a
novel, but useful variety. The awns of
the ears, now in my possession, are twice
the length, but not of SO deep a color,
as the specimen received direct from
Syria, which may be owing to difference
of climate and soil. The grain is, as
might be expected. quite hard and finty
and very much the color of unripe rice.
