LORD PALMERsToN-This notorious
statesman has gone to his account
Since the days of Castleresgh. England
had no such unscrupnlons premier to di
rect her counsels. Pslmerston's enrire
pnblic career-the very sonl of bis policy
was to propagate disorder and disaf-
lection among the nations. He had no
conscience. Spain. Anstria. Naples,
Denmark. Rome. the United States-all
suffered from his iniqui,ous policy. Ont
Of England be appears to have had only
one friend-Louis Nspoleon- and the
two scsmps were worthy Of each Others
admiration. The only God Palmerston
knew. or cared for. was pnhIic opinion
as it exists in the House of Commons
He worshiped that idol with unhinching
devotion. and he received his reward.
He was in office neerly all his life "What

FRUIT TREEs.-Mr. s. j. Edger!y, OF
the Highland Nursery. has placed several
fine young apples trees in our garden. as
samples of his stock. There are no bet
ter nor 6ner trees to be found, than at
his Nursery. This reminds as to speak
of a matter upon which we have often
thought. Farmers in this country are
constantly subscribing for fruit trees from
Eastern Nurseries. and every season hun
dreds of dollars worth are left upon the
agents hands. which subscribers refuse to
take. on account of being dried ont. or
otherwise injured in transportation; and
many that are accepted do not grow. Mr..
Edgerly has all the hest varieties, ss good
ss in the Eastern Nurseries; his trees are
acclimsted; they are right at home. and
no danger Of drying ont in transporting;
they can remain in the Nursery until the
proper time for planting; and we presume
they are very nearly If not fully as cheap
as trees from the East. Everything is in
favor of encouraging home Nursery.
