THE ROYAL KITCHEN GARDEN AT WINDSOR.—AS the extensive kitchen gardens belonging to the Crown, comprising the gardens at Cranbourne and Cumberland Lodges in the Great Park, the Maestrich gardens in the Home Park, and the royal Kitchen gardens at Kensington, are about to be immediately consolidated into one spacious kitchen garden (containing between 20 and 30 acres of most superior arable land), now being arranged under the superintendence of Mr. Ingram, in the grounds attached to Frogmore Lodge, the whole of the building materials, including five spacious hot-houses, gardeners' sheds, and other erections at Cranbourne-lodge, have just been sold by auction by Mr. Tebbot, of Windsor, by order of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests. As soon as the new gardens at Frogmore are brought into a state of cultivation, the Maestricht gardens will be thrown into the Home Park, (from which they are now divided by a high brick wall, some hundreds of yards in length,) and the gardeners house and the other buildings will be disposed of by the 'Woods and Forests. The new gardens will comprise a most extensive grapery and pinery. The whole of the forcing and hothouses will be heated upon a novel and most excellent plan by means of hot water. These will extend, in one line, to the length of upwards of 250 yards. Close to these will be erected a residence for Mr. Ingram, the superintending gardener, built in the Elizabethan style, with a spacious conservatory, according to the original plans, on either side. The garden is now being enclosed by a substantial brick wall, twelve feet in height, which will present, as may be imagined, a most spacious and desirable facility for the cultivation and rearing of wall fruits in every variety. The whole of the expenses which will be necessarily incurred by these extensive alterations and vast improvements will be met by the disposal of the site of the royal gardens at Kensington, which will be let on building leases. It is calculated that the ground-rents will realize a sum amounting to between £28,000 and £30,000.  AN ALGERINE ExEcuTioN.—A letter from Algiers gives the following horrible account of the execution on the 3d inst. of a German who had been condemned to death for the murder of two of his comrades, near Douera :—MahChaouche, who had been executioner to the ex-Bey of Tittery, on hearing that he would have to perform his office on a christian, became alarmed lest he might fail in his stroke, and have it imputed to him that he had wilfully prolonged the sufferings of the convict on account of his religion.-When the criminal and the executioner arrived at the scaffold, where they had to wait 25 minutes for the warrant of execution (a circumstance which the letter does not account for), the contrast between the countenances of the two men was very remarkable. The German continued to smoke and converse with those around him with perfect ease, and even indifference, while Mahmoud displayed the greatest agitation, At length the fatal order arrived, and the German mounted the ladder with the utmost alacrity,'and continued to smoke his cigar untill his arms were bound, and the priest who attended him gave him the cross to kiss for the last time. Now followed a scewe which it is impossible to depicture. Mahmoud's first stroke was insufficient, and the efforts he made until he had completed his task were so horrible that the surrounding crowd uttered one universal cry of reprobation, and began to throw stones at the executioner. The general indignation would have ended in another catastrophe, from the impression which Mahmoud had apprehended, had not the mounted Gendarmes attending the execution, by their great and powerful exertions, kept of the people until the executioner was conducted to a place of security.—Galignani's Messenger.
