Philp, physician of St. Luke's Hospital and proprietor of Kensington-house, showed that Mr. Cater had never been of strong mind, but had contrived to manage his own affairs' prior to June 7- last, when, his son died, at which he wasso much affected as to become imbued wit delusions that his daughter had conspired with other relatives to poison him, that various persons in good circumstances were in a destitute state had an action at law with his bankers, was going to court to meet the Queen, was high sheriff, very intimate with the Queen and Prince Albert and all the nobility. He was in the habit of unnecessarily buying large numbers of geese, of rolling himself -about-in pieces of paper which he had previously pasted so that they stuck to his clothes, of collecting bones and other rubbish, Which he hoarded' and called his jewels. He was very violent and destructive, particularly with books and newspapers He was taken to Dr.

Philp in August lust, when he at first refused to take his food, for fear 'of being poisoned, as he said. Upon being introduced to the jury he kept throwing himself down and springinn- up again, exclaiming, like a child, "Up again." His answers to the- learned commissioner, from their incoherence, and his general demeanour, confirmed the foregoing testimony, and a verdict -was unanimously returned of unsound mind from July 17,1850.

Some varieties, such as the champagne and other upright kinds of gooseberries. and all the cm-rants, are admirably adapted for training as pyramids; these we would' plant 5 feet apart, along the centre of a border 8 feet wide, having a gravel path 2 feet in width between it and the vegetable compartment. These should be trained to a central stem, 0 feet high, and the side shooti shortened in, so that when the plants have arrived at their full size they should be of a pyrainidical form, 2.J feet in diameter at the base, and 5 feet high, supported by a stem 1 foot in height. The weeping kinds, such as the Warrington red, should be trained as standards, with stems 3 feet high, from which the branches spread and hang around, umbrella fashion. Those should occupy the side rows of.

the. border, standing opposite to each other, and alternating with the pyramids, filling the vacant spaces with strawberries, not in rows but in groups. A border treated in this manner has the most orderly and pleasing effect possible; besides which, the economy of tho plan is evident, as the pyramids being high, much fruit is obtained; and by placing the dwarf's alternately with them, no space is lost, while the sun has perfect freedom of access to every part of every tree. Another plarradopted at Trentham would be not only economical in kitchen gardens of limited space, but a most agreeable thing, particularly during hot weather. It consists in throwing a light arched trellis of iron, about 8 feet high, over a walk or walks running south and north, or in any other direction, if the kind of fruit intended to be grown on it is suited to the aspect, Such trellises as theso are cheaply put up, and are not only much admired for their effect, but are so readily got at to prune, tie, and otherwise manage the trees, that wo look upon this as tho very best way flf growing the hardier kinds of pears and choice apples.

The effect of an occasional red currant planted between the other trees upon these arched trellises is excellent, and is the nearest approach that can be made in the open air in this country to the vine-covered walks of warm climates, as we sometimes see them represented in old Italian Gardener's Chronicle. CommEixial. Manchester, Feb. 8 During the greater portion of the present week the market has been decidedly dull and depressed. On Thursday and Friday the Liverpool cotton market showing rather more stability, a somewhat better feeling is observable, but unattended by any general extension of the demand.

Yarns'wero in such limited demand at the early part of the week; as to render quotations of some sorts somewhat difficult but they are for the most part lower by about jd. per lb. For export the demand has been very small, both for India and Germany, and equally so for home manufacture. On Thursday and Friday more firmness was observable, attributable partly to the firmer tone of the Liverpool cotton market, and partly to a demand haviiig sprung up' for the Mediterranean. Cloth has, equally with yarn, experienced the dull condition of.

tho market, and prices of all kinds are decidedly lower, to the extent of lid. to 3d. per piece. The value is-main-tained better for cloths and domestics than for other kinds, but they have experienced a India shirtings have this week been more irregular, and are decidedly better to buy. We regret to announce that three failures have been this week reported, two of then'i in this neighbourhood one the firm of Messrs.

John Andrew Son, of County End Mill, Lees, near Oldham, spinners of doubled yarns; the other, Messrs. Smith Lewis, silk manufacturers, HighTstreet. The liabilities will hot, wo be very large in either The third failure i's the firm of Messrs. M'Gill Morris, Of Glasgow, manufacturers by hand-looms; their failure is mentioned in the letters from Scotland this morning. The liabilities are stated at 15,000 2,000 owing in Manchester, 1,000 in other parts of England the rest in Scotland.

This makes the fifth failure of manufacturers in Glasgow that has occurred within ten days. Manchester Courier. Woollen Trade -oi- Leeds. W.e have little alteration' to notice this week in the state of our markets. In.consequence of the advance in of goods of low quality, little was done in the cloth halls either on Saturday or on There, nevertheless, continues to be a pretty good amount of business doing to direct orders, which tends to keep tho stocks low in the halls.

A fair amount of business has been done in tho warehouses, for the home trade, and the shipping houses are rather increasing, their purchases. Bradford Worsted Market, Jan. 0. Wool There is not any inducement to buy Cobui-g cloths, as any concession proposed by the staplers is so little that a continued dulnesa prevails. Noils and brokes are active, owing to.

the small quantity making, and command firm prices. There is nothing fresh in yarns, either as regards demand or prices; and, the spinners complain loudly of a profitless avocation. We cannot record anything in pieces more satisfactory as to the business doing there are not many stocks, and prices are very unsatisfactory. Birmingham, Feu. 8 Trade here in all its branches continues in a most flourishing state at all the principal manufactories they are full of orders, and at a good many of them the men are working overtime, and earning a great deal of money; the same may be said of the surrounding district; at Walsall the saddlery ironmongers have not been so busy for many years as they now are the orders in the houses for the export trade are very large these are for the best descriptions of goods, which were formerly manufactured almost exclusively for the home trade, but which are now as much sought after by foreigners, as they did formerly after the commonest articles produced.

Mines, London, Saturday Evening. The market has been' very fluctuating during the week, although mo ulhuc uire aggregare nos ueen large. West Providence shares have been in demand at to 70 (a rise on last week's quotations), and West Caradons, Wheal Bassets, Treviskeys, and Botallacks, have been, sought after, but sellers are not easily found. Bed-fords have advanced to 7, and there is an increasing disposition to invest in good dividend mines in preference to younger speculations.

Railways The market became ratherfiatatthecorn-mencement of the past week, and the quotations on Tuesday were 2 to 3 per share lower in the heavy stocks than on the Saturday previously. From this it was very evident that many of the smaller speculators, in anticipation of the mark" ot -giving way, had come in as sellers, in order to realise the profits they had made on their previous purchases.

The decline in price, however, was but temporary, and notwithstanding the traffic returns for the week ending Saturday last are not so favourable as for some time previously, the quotations have again increased, and the market has closed this day firmly at higher prices. It is evident, therefore, thatthe bull party are strong, and determined to take up shares if necessary, rather than allow the market to fall away under them; and as we bear that BIr. Hudson and several other large speculators have already taken up a considerable amount of stock, and. are prepared to take more, it is very probable, in the: absence of any unforeseen accidents, that the market will continue to improve Atlas. Herapath has a budget of statements relative to railway dividends.

The Great Western Company are to 2 per cbiil. per annum, ana carry over. An attempt is to be made at the London- and North Western meeting to get the Si per cent, divided clear of income tax. The Midland Company divide 25s. per share; the South Eastern, 9s.

per share. It appears from an analysis of. the railway traffic returns for the past week, that 227,955 was received on 6,255 miles, being at the rate of 36 10s. per mile per week For the corresponding week of 1850, 199,653 was received on 5,510 miles, or at the rate of 36 os. per mile per week.

There is thus an increase in the mileage of 745 miles, or 13.7 per an increase in the amount received of 28,302, or 14.17 per and an increase the amount received per mile per week of 5s. For the five weeks expired of the present year, the n-oss traffic amounts to 1 ,129,965, against 964,602 for the "'responding period of 1850, showing an increase of 165,365.

As money has been nun, iu me mrger oroicers Dy tne bankers cturino-the week at 2h per and no pressure is felt iu ob-taining advances at the Bank's minimum rate, it is not probable that the directors will increase it unless the exchange should become more unfavourable and the gold continue to be exported.

"Study Tbifj.es Not actively, but passively: not for the sake of carping at a word, but with a view of ascertaining what will most delight, and what will least offend those with whom we are thrown in frequent contact. An atom is a trifle; yet, what is the world hut a collection of such trifles? A moment is a trijle; yet, what is eternity but a succession of such If, then, what is in itself so minute may sum up to a result so vast as to strain, and even overthrow, reason herself in the attempt to dive into its mysteries; let nothing be considered insignificant which may, by freemasonry of affection, be used in the structure of domestic happiness. We cannot all be good; we cannot oven be good in the same way: but we may each, when kind ideas are dropped, like gold dust, into the crucible of the heart, study the best and most enduring form in which the new coin shall circulate from tho loving mind. Gold-actual gold, hard and senseless may do a world of good when carefully applied; what, then, may not that moral gold purchase, which is calculated to preserve tho health of the body, through the sweetly palatable food of the mind. To the fair reader who has thus far accompanied us, we say pause, reflect upon our axiom search your heart, and then acknowledge, if it would not some time or other have been spared a pang, or saved from iullict-ing one upon another, if you had only studied a trifle Suppose an irritable husband (perhaps rendered so by the world's harassing, but too loving to chafe the gentle heart to which lie is muted, by the diurnal recital of business vexations), suppose, we say, an irritable husband complains about some matter of evert small importance to either; if it be really unreasonable, let the wife point out it dispassionately; if of lot her remedy it with a smile.

To the wife we say when any trifle occurs to put your husband out of temper (we mean such as might have been avoided without serious trouble, or imposing anything derogatory upon yourself), instead of dark looks and peevish retaliation fretting in his absence or, worse still, indulging in that dangerous experiment, reposing your fancied sorrows in the breast a dear friend lister let it occur aijain -Depend upon it that male eyes are as sharp, if not as bright, as the kindred orbs in woman if he observes the change, he is sensible of the motive, and payment will surely come, even though its motive be unexplained.

Again some small matter, harmless in itself, and easy, to procure, amuses or interests if is but a tritte', but, by acquiringa habit of studying trifles, you perceive and chronicle it simultaneously and without effort. Certainly both parties should read from the same book for if one always exacts, and the other always yields, the result is a species of quiet tyranny, equally galling, and uuivuroiry; uui me uiinu muse do weaK, indeed, that descends to such a pitiful exercise of power there is no cure for a small mind. If disastrous events succeed a trifle, so do also glorious results. It rests with ourselves, in the great majority of cases, whether the match shall explode a mine of inquietude, or light a new train of happiness whether it shall consume to ashes the hopes of a lifetime, or light up that purer fire in the breast which sheds its ray upon kindred hearts, keeping up the soft glow of affection when the less pure fire of youth has departed Mrs.

One day a great feast was held, and, after dinner, the representation of Solomon, his Temple, and the comin of the Queen of Sheba, was made, or (as I may better say) was meant to have been made before their majesties, by device of the Earl of Salisbury and otliers. But, alas as all earthly things do fail to poor mortals in enjoyment, so did prove our' presentment hereof. The lady, who did play the Queen's part, didcarry most precious gifts to both' their majesties: but, forgetting the steps arising to the canopy, overset her caskets into bis Danish Majesty's lap, and fell at his feet, though I rather think it was in his face.

Much was the hurry and confusion; clothes and napkins were at hand to make all clean. His then got up, and would dance with the Queen of Sheba, but be fell down and bumbled himself before her, and was carried to an inner chamber, and laid upon a bed of state, which was not a little defiled with tho presence of the Queen, which had been bestowed on his garment; such as wine, cream, jelly, beverage, cakes, spices, and other good' matters. The entertainment and show went forward, and most of the presenters went backward, or fell down wine did so occupy their upper chambers. Now did appear in rich dresses, Hope, Faith, and Charity: Hope did essay to speak, but wine rendered her endeavours so feeble that she withdrew, and hoped the King would excuse her brevity: Faith was then left all alone, for I am certain she was not joined with good works, and left the court in a staggering condition. Charity came to the Kings feet, and seemed to cover tho multitude of sins her sister had committed; in some sort she made obeisance, and brought gifts, but said she would return home again, as there was no gift which I leaven had not already given his Majesty.

She then returned to Hope and Faith, who wore both sick in the lower hall. Next came Victory, in bright armour, and presented a rich sword to the King, who did not accept it, but put it by with his hands), and, by a strange medley of versification, did endeavour to make suit to the King. But Victory did not triumph long; for, after much lamentable utterance, she was led" away like a silly captive, and laid to sleep on the outer steps of the ante-chamber. Now did Peace make entry, and strove to got foremost to the King; but I grieve to tell how groat wrath she did discover unto those of her attendants, and, much contrary to her semblance, most rudely made war with her olive-branch, and laid on the pates of those who did oppose her coming. I have much marvelled at these strange pageantries; and they do bring to my remembrance what part of this sort in our Queen's days, of which 1 was some time an humble presenter and assistant, but I ne'er did see such lack of good order, discretion, and sobriety as I have now done.

Fiiom a deeply interesting and splendidly executed volume, entitled A Tribute for tho Negro," we take the following- in reference to Mr. Garnet, whose lectures and speeches in this neighbourhood have excited such an amount of interest on the subject of American slavery': "Henry Highland Garnet was born in Maryland, in 1815. His great-grandfather was the son of an African chief, stolen from his native country in his youth, aud sold mto slavery ohthe shores of Maryland. "Tho branch of bis family thus transplanted into America were all-held in slavery till 1822, when they escaped to tho non-slave-holding States. Henry, tho subject of-this notice, was then about eight years old, and with his father, mother, andsistur, aud eight other fugitive slaves, found an asylum in New York.

returned to New York, and entered the African Free School, where he soon reached the highest class. In 1838, he was ad-I mittod into the Canal-street Collegiate with several other coloured youths, and commenced the study of the Latin language. The opportunities which the school offered were limited; for such was the effect of prejudice, that the coloured boys wore not allowed to liic'et iu the room with whiles, and, asmight be expected, wme or pains were uestoweel on tlieir instruc-; tion. in 1835, Henry H. Garnet travelled to New Hampshire, a distance of 500 miles, and became ti member of Canaan Academy.

He had 'been there but three months, when the inhabitants assembled, and, with a mob, and. sixty-live yoke of oxen, removed and burned clown the school-house.

When Henry' runlet, uuiiuiu jier, ne auimreci nor modest, and gentle demeanour, as well 'as her Heroic spirit, and formed ah ardent attachment to her, which was reciprocated, and resulted in their marriage, in 1841.

Wright "After' his con turned attention to the ministry, and repaired to the Oneida Institute, in 183(5, where he was received with the utmost kind-' ness by the president, Be Green, and was treated with equality by the pr.ofc'ssors.and his fellow-students; he gained the reputation' of a courteous and accomplished man, ah able and eloquent, and a writer.

His first public appearance was- hefnrn' 1 4. lw.L.,1.1 I 1 the American Anti-Slavery Society, in ,1837, and.his. address at once secured for him a standing among the hrst. class ot speakers. "Henry Garnet graduated at the school, at Whites-town, in 1840, and received his diploma.

Ho then repaired to the city of Troy, State of New York. He was ordained a minister of the Presbyterian Church there, in 1843, and continues to be ihe pastor. "Henry Garnet is' a most strenuous advocate of freedom, temperance, and education. He has had a hearing iu relation to the restoration of the elective franchise to his oppressed brethren, before the Legislatures of New York and. Connecticut.

He is an acceptable preacher, his discourses being evangelical and He usually speaks from notes, rarely appearing with written sermons. Having command of his voice, he uses it with skill, never failing to fill the largest houses with Jierfeet ease. One of his most remarkable speeches was ah address to the Negroes, at a national convention, at-Buffalo, in 1843, when, for the space of two 'hours, the mighty assembly was'swayedas be pleased. Sometimes they wept, and sometimes they cried for revenge; and frequently they' shouted aloud for joy or for sorrow; He made another very remarkable speech at Old Faneuil Hall, Boston, and has also published-'A Discourse upon the Past and Present Condition and Destiny of. the Coloured for some time connected with the National Watchman: He is a pure black, about tliirty-'two years of age, and is scrupulously careful of his personal attire" A Rash Puomise, Father Ignatius Spencer), has issued an address for a crusade of prayers" from Ireland, for the conversion of England, in which he says: "1 promise that if the crusade be duly token up, the Irish, people will be six months a nation of saints the most glorious spectacle to, God, to angels, and, to.

Ho proposes to convey himself and six persons, whose consent he has already ob tained, from New York to The petitioner states that, from a series of observations he has made, he knows that, at a certain elevation in the atmosphere, there exists a current of air always blowing from the West to the East, in which one may travel without fear, and at a rate surpassing that of any known locomotive.

at South Shields, at which upwards .2,000. sailors: were present, and resolutions in which the new articles, provided by the Mercantile Marine and Merchant Seamen's Acts, were denounced.as. unjust and unconstitutional. It was also resolved that no ships, coasting or foreign, should proceed to sea under, the, new articles, and that no. ships-should go to sea whose men went to tho shipping office.

Friday, the 7th was largely supplied with all descriptions of cattle, but the attendance, of buyers for the English and Scotch markets was not so numerous as heretofore; the consequence of which was a reduction in prices in the description required for those markets. There was a large show of horses of a fair quality, a great number which changed hands at good prices, particularly the descriptions necessary for the harness and' the plough there were some of a superior quality 'sold at high rates, but little or no demand for nags, of.

which there was a very large number. There was a very large supply of cattle in. the cow fair, but the quality was not near so good. as heretofore the sort most in demand, wore springers and. milch cows, tho most of which were bought up, at an increase on last fair's I prices; very fe.w fat stock of a superior quality exposed for sale what was shown wore readily bought up.

I As to sheep, there was not a great number shewn, the prices much as heretofore all were sold readily. In the pig market the numbers were small, and a decrease in price of from 10 to 20 per cent. On tho whole, buyers and sellers seemed pretty well supplied. Armagh ffuardiun. THE COURT.

At a period when tho public mind is strongly agitated by the Papal aggression, it may not be unacceptable to our readers to have a statement of the Roman Catholic Peers of the respective sections of the kingdom, and of the number of Roman Catholic members in the Commons' House of and the following will be found pretty correct In the Peerage of Britain we have the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Shrewsbury, Lord Camoys, Lord Beaumont, Lord Stourton, Lord Vaux, Lord Petre, Lord Arundel, Lord Lormer, Lord Stafford, Lord Clifford, Lord Fingall, Lord Lovat, and Lord Kenmare. In the Irish Peerage, besides the three Peers already referred to (Earls of Waterford, Fingall, and Kenmare), we have Viscount Gormanston, Viscount Nettervilie, Viscount Taffe, Viscount Southwell, Lord Ffreneh, and Lord Bellow. In the Scotch. Peerage there arc only, two, the Earl of Traqnair aud tho Earl of Newburgh. These make in all thirty-three, but only four of them are British legislators.

To the above list we may add Viscount Fielding, eldest son of the Earl of Denbigh, and Viscount Campden, eldest son of the Ear! of Gainsborough, who recently embraced the Roman Catholic faith, and the Hon. Col. Leicester Stanhope, brother and heir to the Earl of Harrington. The Roman Catholic members in the House of Commons for Englisii constituencies are the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Lord Edward Howard, and Philip A. Howard, Esq.

In Ireland there are not fewer than twenty-seven, including Mr. Monsoll, one of the members for the county of Limerick. Sixteen of the number arc from the province of Monster, seven from Leinster, four from Con-naught, and none from the province of Ulster, In Scotland no Roman Catholic has yet found favour for a seat. Limerick Chronicle. Masonic Ball.

A grand ball, under the patronage of the Scottish Grand Lodge of Freemasons, took place in tho Assembly Rooms and Music Hall, George-street, Edinburgh, on Tuesday evening. The assemblage was most numerous and fashionable amounting to between four aud five hundred, and the ball-room yas enlivened by the varied and profuse display of the ornaments and official distinctions of the "brethren." His Grace the Duke of Atholl, Grand Master Mason of Scotland, and the masters and office-bearers of various lodges appeared in full masonic costume, while others were distinguished as belonging to the mystic craft by simply wearing the small apron. The highest order of masonry, namely, the 33rd degree, forming the Council of Scottish raits, wore represented by the Duke of Atholl, the Hon. Mr. Jocelyn, Dr.

Somerville, J. L. Woodman, and W. Donaldson, whose splendid garbs attracted considerable attention, The naval and military uniforms were most numerous and varied. The costume of tho ladies was chiefly white, but there were many coloured dresses interspersed throughout tho hall.

The dancing was carried on with great spirit until five o'clock in "the morningthe Duke and Duchess of Atholl, and many other distinguished parties, remaining till that hour. Mr. Mackenzie's band executed in most effective stylo selections from the brilliant dance-music of Jullien, Strauss, Labitzky, Albert, while the band of the 03rd Highlanders, under Signer D'Angelis, after performing a variety of airs in the vestibule, played during supper in the gallery of tho Music Hall. The lively tune of the "Merry Masons" was frequently and spiritedly performed, as well as several other airs appropriate to the occasion. The Freemasons at Malta A Malta correspon- dent, dating the 2nd instant, writes: "A meeting of -the three masonic lodges was held, last night, in tho Zetland Hall, having for its object the union of the body under one warrant.

The project was approved," almost unanimously, by ballot, and a committee appointed to carry out the details. The union has long-occupied the thoughts of the masons and, if effected, will be highly advantageous to the body.

the folly of the writer in tho Morning Chronicle, who stated 'that St. Peter's, chair could not have been the property of a Maliomcdan, as it was well known they never vsed chairs at all." Her ladyship enters into an argument to show that this is a very great mistake, and quite unworthy of the learned Orientalist" by whom it has been raised. At the siege and conquest of Constantinople, by the Mahoinmedan Turks, in 1453, tho latter came in possession of the elegant chairs left by the Latins, and the Caliph Othman lost his life for presuming to sit on the raised seat or chair of the great Mosque of Medina, on which Mahomiiied himself wa-i used to recline.

Singular Delusions On Wednesday an inquiry took place at the King's Arms Hotel, Kensington, before Mr. Commissioner Winslow and a special jury, Ox Friday ijjit, at Birmingham, the concluding lecture, of a sefiesVwas. delivered in the Town Hall, by Dr.

The subject was, The aspect of affairs in reference to the Papal Aggression, and the duties devolving upon all who value civil and religious liberty." The audience was most numerous, there being between 5,000 and 0,000 persons in the hall. The Earl of Roden, -President of the Birmingham Protestant Association, occupied the chair. Prayers having been offered up, The Noble Chairman, who was received with prolonged cheering, then addressed the meeting. He could not at all express the great satisfaction which was afforded to him that night, in having an opportunity of witnessing that magnificent assembly, collected for a imrpose most important, most interesting to all their feelings a purpose of greater importance than, perhaps, any other that could have brought them together. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) But, before he offered them the few words, which it was his intention to ho could not help expressing the sincere gratification which he felt to the Protestant Association of Birmingham, for kindness shown to him at a time, and on an occasion, when he wanted support (cheers) and when those great principles for which he was "suffering were so near and dear, to the Protestant Association of Birmingham, that they tendered to him an address, in language and in spirit which, he trusted, he should never forget.

He therefore must tender to them, personally, his sincere thanks for the kindness he received from (Hoar, hear, and cheers.) He need hardly tell the meeting that we are arrived at a crisis in the history of this country which never before, at least in our times, bad occurred. He believed the danger was under God, upon the resolution taken the course adopted and above all upon the continual looking up to that source from which alone blessings can flow. (Cheers.) He believed that a false step now, in our Parliamentary, proceedings and legislation, would bo a false step indeed (hear, hear) a fatal calamity might bo-produced, the result and extent of which-no one could foretell a national mistake might be national destruction. (Hear, hear.) He solemnly believed that it was from the middle classes the salvation of the country was to come. (Cheers.) From the middle classes a Protestant sound liad gone forth that had entered, into every house, villaa'e, town.

and city in England, from Land's End to John O'Groat's. (Cheers.) It was on the middle classes that -the safety of the country depended, for upon them depended the important duty of urging on the higher classes to keep in mind tlie great privileges which God had so long bestowed upon them and this country (cheers) and upon the middle classes also depended the instructing of the humbler classes of the dangers by which they are surrounded by the introduction of Popery into this land. (Cheers.) He was perfectly aware that they were met simply to hear a lecture on this subject, consequently be -would only say farther, that if ever there was a time when each of them, in their, several stations, should look' out when they should watch the proceedings, of overnment when they -should work as one man against these Popish attempts to destroy their their to introduce laws called canon lawswhichj if they were not acquainted with, they ought to become, and they would then see how important it was to themselves and their children. t.o do. all they could to prevent such laws beiiig brought into operation in this country; but aboveall, this was the time when every Christian man that loved the blessed book from whence he deriyed all his comfort here and happiness hereafter the Scriptures which it lias been the object of Rome to, shut up this yas, the time, he said, when every man ought to exefthuiiself' to keep an dpeii Bible in the and to disseminate its gospel truths.

(Cheers.) Ho would not go further. He would only, say that this assembly be now addressed, a parallel to which he had never before seen was an honour to the town of Birmingham, and that he was proud to see so many, manly hearts and fair.Jadies there to unite the.

Dr. MuisdN then, amidst much, applause, delivered his at the conclusion of which, a congratulatory address was moved to Lord Roden on his: visit to Birmingham by.

On the Culture of Turnu-s have 30 acres of turnips, 22-acres of which are Swedes, all after oat stubble, well manured 'with straw, yard, and stable dung the oldest in the farm. The Swedes were sound after the 20th of May, and before the 30th of June.

I have sown as late as the first of July, Fettoreairn's, and found them an excellent crop never large sized keep the best and remain sound until June. I was curious to ascertain the quantity per acre, and, for that purpose, I manured, on the 24th instant, 20 perches, where the people were that day gathering, in a part of the field which was a fair average. Four girls pulled and cut the tops and tap-roots within an hour. Two carts, one large, and one small sized, filled water measure, conveyed them three quarters of a mile to be weighed. Large cart, one ton; small 12 cwt.

The large cart, five times; the small one, twice Tons. cwt. qrs. ,0 carts of turnips, one ton each, 5 0 0 2 do. 12 cwt.

eaeh, 14 0 6 4 0 multiplied by eight, give the actual quantity to 'be 40 tons 12 cwt. per Irish acre. The whole process was gone through within two hours and forty-five minutes. There were employed in the work four girls, three horses, and four men. The turnips were not large sized, none a stone weight.

I selected six of three sizes aud weighed them, anil found the average weight to be 44 lbs. I aminclmed to believe that the avei'age-sized turnips yield the greatest quantity. I trouble you with these details of the experiment I have made to test the quantity grown per acre, as it furnishes some data to guide cultivators; and I pray other growers to repeat an experiment which costs little; and furnishes satisfactory evidence to the intending cultivator. I only discovered two decayed turnips in the lot which I weighed; all the others were sound, despite of our incessant rains. One-half of them were Skirving's the other half wore Fettercairn's both sown first week in June; the drills 28 inches apart, and the turnips thinned out to 12 inches.

County Louth Farmer, in Farmer's Gazette. GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR THIS WEEK. Plant Department Some of the plants which flowered in December will now be commencinfr their growth, and preparations for potting such should be. maue. us ine amount ot day-light increases, the temperature of the greenhouses may be slightly raised, particularly in fine clear weather.

Take care that no moisure falls on the Mowers of orchids, or their beauty will soon be destroyed. If a speedy development of the flowers of any. species which are now showing be desired, they may be removed into the forcing-house. Kitchen Gauoen Some early, dwarf peas should now be sown as soon as possible in turf, and raised in heat, to be planted out on a warm border, as soon as they are about three inches high, and have been gradually hardened. Fairbeard's Champion of England, which is a'jfine flavoured pea, andan excellent cropper, may be sown once a fortnight, from this time till the' middle of June.

Sow also some more broad beans. Cardoons, leeks, and celery, require checking, as they are commencing to run, inconsequence of the mildness of the season. They should bo taken carefully up and laid ampiig some light leaf-mould, or old tan, in the shade of a north wall, where they must be well moulded up, as a protection in case of severe weather. A piece of rich ground should now be planted with early cabbage. Thedistanee between the rows should be eighteen or twenty inches, and the plants about nine incho apart in the row, so that every other may be pulled for use first, leaving the rest to become larger.

The plant-ing of early potatoes should be no longer delayed. Light soil, an open situation, and no manure, are- the points to be attended to in cultivation of this very useful, but now fickle root. The sets should be planted oia iiitucs ueep, ana, ii a low nancuuis ot burnt Clay, or charred refuse, be placed about them, the produce seems-to ripen cmieker and cleaner, without being deteriorated in quality or size. On a warm border make another sowing of radishes, and one of early horn caiv rots, In very favourable localities, onions and an early bed of parsley may be now sown. The leek is very hardy, and cannot be sown too early, as its excellency depends upon upon being transplanted assoohas the plants are large enough into a piece of rich, well-prepared ground Gardener's Chronicle.

GOOSUUEURY AND CuitllANT CULTIVATION. Few things in gardening are more generally cultivated than the gooseberry and currant; they are, indeed, everybody's fruits, and at this season every one possessing a garden, however small, will be devoting some little attention to regulating their plantations of these useful plants. We not mifrequently notice these fruits occupying some out-of-the-way corner of tlie' garden, as though they were only a secondary consideration; and even when ranged along the sides of the kitchen garden walks, their branches are allowed to spread out so far horizontally, that the fruit is shaded and much valuable space is lost. But in some gardens, as those at Irentham, for instance, considerable importance is given to the small bush fruits, by having them either trained to neat trellises, or as standards or pyramids, By adopting such methods, the trees are more oxposed to the action of the sun and air, and the fruit is conse quently much improved both in quantity and quality, besides being perfectly free from grit, which destroys so much of the fruit upon low bushes; while, by the use ot half-inch netting, the fruit is secured from the depredations of birds, and tho late kinds are preserved tor a considerable time after they'are fully ripe. We would not devote the whole the side borders of a kitchen garden to these fruits, for the apple and pear answer admirably for such situations, but would prefer arranging the gooseberry and currant bushes by themselves in such a manner as to obtain the greatest quantity of fruit from the least possiblo spaco consistent BELFAST, Urn of 2nd Month, 1S3L The Corn market continues very dull.

Be No communications IP sparine in the suns rays, and reflect all manner of pris matic colours when a gentle ripple steals over the surface. I felt none of tho heaviness or depression so often spoken of by Eastern travellers, near the shores of the Dead Sea -neither was there an overpowering smell of sulphur or bitumen, notwithstanding tho intense beat and sultriness of the day.

The shores are lined with tho trunks of trees that have been brought down the wadies by the winter torrents and washed ashore; they were mostly covered by an incrustation of salt, which the Bedouins come at certain periods: of the year. Tho eolooynthus, or apple of Sodom, grows, but in no great quantities, in tho plain to the North of. the Sea as I have already stated, it is pleasant to look upon, and resembles a fine large orange, but bursts on the least pressure and iiresents a 'iw kernel, the rind being inflated with air. The wa tor is i exceedingly bitter and nauseous, and leaves by far the most disagreeable taste in the mouth of any I have ever, i met with. I did not test its buoyant properties, after I having bathed in the Jordan, beyond dipping in my hand and arm, by which I satisfied myself sufficiently on that point, and escaped the pain of a more complete salting (I might almost say pickling) for, as soon as j'the moisture was dry, I found the parts immersed covered with grains of and experienced a painful fueling; -accompanied with considerable irritation of the skin, which lasted -for some time.

From the Golden Born, and Sketches in Asia Minor, Jigjipt, by C. Monk, M.A. I A Funeual at Heuiion. The women were thefirstto arrive, marching in long array, and wearing blue dresses, over which hung a veil of white muslin, reaching nearly to their feet, with an inner veil, either yellow, or party-coloured, which is generally drawn close over tho face.

As they arrived they grouped themselves at twenty or thirty paces from the grave. After a short interval tho approach of the funeral procession was announced by. the sound of the chaunt for the dead, intoned by all who assisted at the ceremony. About fifty, men accompanied the corpse, which was borne in the midst of them on a wooden bier, covered with a piece of embroidery. The body was laid close to the grave, while the greater part of the assistants collected in a large circle, at a distance of ten ortwelve yards from it, and continued the same monotonous chauutas before.

As the body was being lowered into the grave, this was changed for a set of quick hurried exclamations, to which they all kept time by' nodding their heads in a singular and almost ludicrous manner; as, they proceeded the sound became more sharp and rapid, and finally ended in something like a clog's snarl, while their heads continued moviiigwithin'cred'ihlcrapidity. When the earth was thrown upon' the body, and the grave closed, their heads began to grow more steady, the slower chaunt was resumed, and in a minute or two the service was concluded. It lasted about a quarter of an hour, during which time tho women stood at a little distance apart, in three or four groups. The men departed us soon as all. was finished, and shortly after the wife of tho deceased, quite a young woman, came forward with some of her female relatives, and sat over against, the grave, i lie rest oi the women then came I up, one oy one, ana emuracea her: she rose tor an instant, as each approached, and then reseated herself.

They next touched the hands of the females of the deceased's family, each party afterwards carrying their own to their lips, and then took their departure.
