Plant Department-Conservatory -Soma management is required to keep up tbe display in this and similar structures during the next few months, as the present bigh temperature will soon bring to a close tbe blooming season with most greenhouse plants. Tbe stock of balsams and pot annuals should be looked to. and if another shift is necessary, let it be done at once for potting the above and other quick growing plants, the compost should be both porous and rich, tbat a clean vigorous growth may be obtained. After tbe last shift, weak manure-water may be given rather frequently, to assist tbe above ends. Neriums will be showing bloom, which will be the finer If the pots are placed in feeders and kept well supplied with water.

Fuchsias, kalosanths, scarlet pelargoniums, lilium longiflorum, and eximium; and the various other plants we have recommended in former calendars, should be introduced as tbey get into bloom. In addition a number of plants from the stove may be safely allowed to bloom in tbe conservatory for tbe next two months, and if a few palms can be added, they will form an interesting feature at this season. Another difficulty will be felt in keeping these houses sufficiently cool to be enjoyable to assist in keeping down tbe temperature, well sprinkle every part of the interior each morning and night, and this, if practicable, may be repeated during tbe day tbe canvas shading may likewise be damped during very hot weather by the garden engine, which will have tbe effect of lowering the internal air considerably. Forcing Department Vinery. Ripe grapes requiring to be kept, must be shaded during hot sun, to prevent their becoming shrivelled.

The change from the cloudy sky arid low temperature of June to the present extreme beat, will render the directions we have already given, under tbe head Plant Department," in providing a supply of moisture, equally applicable to forcing-houses of all descriptions, wherein fruit is swelling; a slight shading must be applied wherever indications of scorching or burning appears on tbe foliage. The Cannon Hall Muscat, Sweetwater, and the Frontignans, having tender leaves, are the most liable to burn, either from bad glass or imperfect ventilation and when either exists, should be watched, as an injury done to the foliage not only affects tbe present crop, but tbe succeeding one as well. Air must be given in abundance by night as well as day; and the necessary stopping of lateral growths and thinning of fruit in the last bouse proceeded with. Pinery. Still continue to supply fruit swelling with water, and syringe frequently, but not in bright sunshine, unless tbe shading is immediately put on the young plants should be growing fast, and will require liberal waterings, and, in addition to air in large quantities by day, the temperature will allow for them to have a good portion by night.

And during hot weather, forced fruits of all descriptions will be benefited by tbe practice. Mover Garden and Shrubbery. A complete stirring of tbe flower garden beds, to break up tbe bard crusty surface, caused by the late heavy rains, should be made before the plants get much larger. Proceed with pegging down, or tying growing plants as they advance, till they occupy their allotted space, when more freedom may be allowed them, but even tben, in well-arranged flower gardens, each bed should be perfectly symmetrical as a whole, although- forming only a part of the general design remove weeds as tbey appear, and pay tbe greatest attention to neatness and order, without which the richest display of flowers looks unsatisfactory. Advantage should be taken of examining the walks during heavy rains, to see tbe drains are sufficient to carry off the water, and additional drains and gates put down where necessary.

In addition to the plants named last week for ornamental garden hedges, we strongly recommend Cupressus Goteniana for embellishing architectural gardens it appears to bear the knife well, while its quick growth, upright habit, and beautiful light green foliage are strong claims for its adoption on terraces or parterres in the Italian style, where it is likely to supersede tbe upright cypress and the Irish yew, being, as we think, hardier than tbe former, and of quicker growth than the latter. Hardy Fruit Garden. Birds bave of late years become so numerous, that it requires netting in abundance to preserve fruit from their ravages. As the fruit is gathered from tbe earlier cherries remove the netting, which may serve for protecting later crops. If there are any traces of fly on the trees, let them be again well washed with tbe engine.

Look over the peaches and nectarines, and in tying in tbe young wood see tbat tbe fruit is not too thick, allowing a few extra for stoning in the peach and nectarine. The nailing in the current wood washing and stopping those shoots not for fruiting, are the principal things to be attended to in this department. Kitchen Garden. Take advantage of fine weather to eradicate such weeds as have sprung up during the late rains, and which the wet state of the ground has allowed time to grow. The present state of the atmosphere is likely to bring on various forms of mildew.

We have seen two or three cases of disease among tbe potatoes and garden and field beans are in many places partially destroyed by blight. Directly ground can be got in readiness, tbe main crop of brocoli, Brussels sprouts, and winter greens of all kinds should be planted, if the weather is dry; only partially filling up the hole in planting, to allow for watering them in dry weather; or plant them with a large trowel-spade; the dibber, or setting-stick, we would discard, if possible, from all gardens. The lasc crop of peas should be sown directly, selecting an early sort for the purpose. The same rule will apply to beans. Frequently hoe between advancing crops.

Cauliflowers planted in shallow holes or trenches may be slightly filled up, but not sufficiently to prevent their taking good soakings of water in dry weather. Asparagus aud seakale, making rapid growth, will be benefited by a good sprinkling of salt, and frequent soakings of liquid manure. To bave fine crowns next spring, attention to these matters should be paid to them now. We generally sprinkle a little salt along tbe celery beds before earthing them up it both kills slugs and worms, and accelerates tbe growth of tbe plants. Plant out a good supply of endive, and make further sowings of lettuce and other salad plants.

The first celery may have a slight earthing up, first removing all suckers. Let every attention be given towards maintaining a clean and well regulated appearance among the growing crops. uer naa claimed that patch for bis own- and had got it.

He first sailed, the Freelove. a collier fading between Newcastle and London, where he remained till 1748; when his master, who already perceived bis worth, and was desirous to give him all the advantages his power, sent for bim to Whitby, that he might have an opportunity of improving himself in his profession, by aisting in the rigging and fitting out a new vessel of six hundred tens, called ILe Three Brother, in which he sailed about the latter id of June, first in two trips to London in the coa trade, and aterwards, the ship being taken up as a trans-port, to Middlebirg, Dublin, Liverpool, and Deptford (where the ship was paid oft, finishing the season in tbe Norway trade.

In tbe spring of 1739 he left Mr. Walker's service, and entered on board the Martai, of Whitby, engaged in the Baltic trade. The next year ne passed in a vessel belonging to Stockton, the name of which has not been preserved and in 1752 he returned to Mr. Walker, wire made bim mate of one of bis vessels, the Friendship, in which capacity be continued until be resolved to enter tbe Navy having," to use bis own words, a mind to try bis fortune that way."

The fact should not be forgotten, when the name of Sir Hurii Palliser is called to mind. We bave no detailed accounts of the upward progress of the untutored collier apprentice, who, by the force of bis own merits alone, had at so early a period won tbe rank of a gentleman, and become entitled to associate on equal terms with the educated and the high-born.

BEITANNT AND THE EIBLE with Remarks on the French People and their Affaire. By J. HOPE. No. 23 of the "Travellers' Library." This and the succeeding Part are recent additions to the excellent shilling- series of works published by the Messrs.

Longmans. The narrative is full of interest and where, as in Southampton and Portsmouth, the facility for visiting Britanny exists at a very moderate cost, we have no doubt many people will be induced to make themselves acquainted with the primitive inhabitants of the district, inconsequence of the graphic description given in the work. Tbe author thus writes of The Bretons of the present Day. In many respects the Bretons of the present day are what they were in the time of Caesar nor has Time's hard tooth destroyed their salient points. Primitive, too, and world old, is now, as was then, the appearance of the country.

Huge rocks of granite and gneiss, vast tracts of furze and heath, here and there sprinkled with Druidical remains, -these, and the strange aspect of the people, clad in undressed skins and wooden shoes, with hair, as of old, flowing like a mantle over neck and shoulders, lead us back to the commencement of the Christian aera, rather than to the year of grace 1851. Many of the peasants are little better than savages, with all the appearance and many of the habits of the wild animal. In truth, civilisation seems to have halted on the frontiers of Britanny, affrighted by its rough exterior. Some of the towns may give a good idea of the towns of England two or three centuries ago. The narrow streets, destitute of channel or causeway, abound with lofty-timbered houses, of curious build, rising tier above tier, like the stern of a three-decker, and approaching so close at top as almost to shut out the light, with uncouth figures at the angles, and quaint devices on the walls.

Some of the shops are open to the street, like booths in a fair and tbe goodly bales stand all exposed to tbe passer-by, who is tempted to look at them by the old London cry of "What d'ye lack The modern practice of saving time and trouble, by naming a fair price, and adhering to it, is scouted here, as few OFFICE OF ORDNANCE, July 9.

After much other evidence, William Neary, a waterman, living at No. 1, Whitefriars, said I was standing on the barges "at Phoenix wharf, and saw the steam-boat going down against tbe flood tide, and the shallop coming up with it.

The Dahlia had a great many people ou board, but was not more crowded tl.an the other boat's ou the river. I first saw her -steering from tbe Temple direct for the fourth arcb of Blackfriars Bridge. Tbe shallop bore away to tbe southward, then to tbe northward, and back again to the southward, when tbe steamer was eased and stopped, but before 6he could do so she touched tbe stern of tbe shallop. Tbe company nearly all stood up, and the boat was capsized in an instant. I was on the north side of tbe river, and tbe steamer was between me and the shallop, which was close athwart the steamer's bows.

Alderman Lawrence Then how could you see the collision if the larger boat was between you and tbe steamer? Witness It was the stem of the 6teamer that touched tbe shallop, and not tbe paddle-wheel. Alderman Lawrence Then tbe paddle-wheels did not strike the shallop at all, and it was the stem of the steamer that capsized it 7 Witness Yes, sir. Alderman Lawrence Then the steamer ran her stem into the shallop's stern? Witness I could not say that, for I believe that it was the shallop that ran upon the steamer's stem. The shallop was only just touched, and if tbey had all kept their seats tbey would not have gous down. The paddie-wheel was stopped before the collision.

Tbe Dahlia is not a very fast boat, and was only going about five miles an hour, and therefore could not have had much way with her. Alderman Lawrence said, this was one of those important cases that called for the most thorough and public investigation, and as there were a great many other witnesses yet to examine, both for the prosecution and defence, he would remand the prisoner for a week bnt in the meantime he would accept bail for the prisoner in two sureties of 20 each, and his own recognisances in 40. Bail was ultimately put in, and tbe prisoner liberated. EXTRAORDINARY AND MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF FOUR HUNDRED LATTER-DAY SAINTS.

EASTERN STEAM NAVIGATION An adjourned extraordinary general meeting of the shareholder of this Company took place on Monday, at the London Tavern, at half-past two o'clock, George Braine, esq. in tbe (Uir.

At tbe desire of the Chairman, Tin- Secretary, Mr. Yates, read tbe report, which stated that the directors bare been fully engaged in the examination and dweusaion of various propositions for obtaining improved communication between England and her possessions in tbe East. Tliey say The new mail communication with India, recently contracted (or Government, while it supplies some of the deficiencies previously existing, leaves the arrangements still very inadequate It, the increasing demands of tbe traffic. Tbe overland route is necessarily objectionable in many respects. Even in its improved 6tate, promised under the next contract, tbe time from Calcutta to England will exceed thirty-five days.

The first plan which came under deliberation was the organi-MtKniof anew line overland. The present lines pass either through the Mediterranean, from Southampton, by Gibraltar Malta, or through France, by Marseilles, to Alexandria. The objections discovered on examination of other plans led tbe way to the consideration of a plan submitted to your directors, which should comprise tbe elements of high speed without tbe incoi venience and great expense inevitably astending the overland route. It was suggested that steam vessels of the great power which modern science renders attainable might be despatched by way of the Cape, so a6 to accomplish the distance between England and Calcutta in the same or less time than the present transit by Southampton and tbe Desert, and with great increase of comfort and economy to the passengers. For this purpose it would only be necessary that vessels should be em-uluved possessing the speed of 15 or 16 knots an hour.

"Well, now, that's nice," said his lordship, giving his other band a similar bang adding, I like a woman that's fond of horses." "Then 'Melia and you'll 'gree nicely," observed Mrs. Jaw ley-ford, who was always ready to give a helping band to her own daughters, at least.

I don't doubt it replied bis lordship, with emphasis, and athird bang of his hand, louder if possible than before. "And do you like horses?" asked his lordship, darting sharply round on Emily, who had been yielding, or rather submitting to the precedence of her sister. "Oh, yes'; and bounds, tool" replied she, eagerly. "And hounds, too!" exclaimed his lordship, with a start, and another hearty bang of the fist; adding, "Well, now, I like a woman tbat likes bounds." Amelia frowned at the unhandsome march her sister bad stolen upon her. Just then in came Jawleyford, much to the annoyance of all parties.

A host should never show before the dressing-bell rings. When that glad sound was at length heard, the ladies, as usual, immediately withdrew and of course the first thing Amelia did when she got to her roam was to ran to the glass to Bee how she had been looking; when, grievous to relate, she found an angry hot pot in tbe act of breaking out on her nose. "ft hat a distressing situation for a young lady, especially one with a spectacled suitor. Oh, dear she thought, as she eved it in the glass, it will look like Vesuvius itself through his formidable inquisitors." Worst of all, it was on the side she would have next to him at dinner, should he choose to sit with his back to the fire. However, there was no help tor it, and the maid kindly assuring her, as she worked away at her hair, that it would never be seen," she ceased to watch it, and turned her attention to her toilette.

CHAMBERS'S EDINBURGH JOURNAL. June Part. As usual Chambers's Journal contains a variety of instructive and entertaining- articles, too numerous lor us to detail, but all excellent reading. We take an extract from The Old House in Crane Court. Tbe roaring pell-mell of the principal thoroughfares of London is curiously contrasted with the calm seclusion which is often found at no great distance in certain lanes, courts, and passages, and the effect is not a little heightened when in these oy-plares we light upon some old building speaking of antique institutions or bygone habits of society.

We latelv had this idea hronffht strife. LONDON MARKETS. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, Monday. rhe weather last week had a very beneficial effect on the crop of Wheat, and tended very much to dissipate the fears which the very unkindly weather in the month of June bad created but as the one extreme bad not occasioned any particular Annually these people hold a conference, at which the chiefs of the body assemble, and communications with their brethren in other quarters are made. This year some of the elders who had been in the camp on tbe borders of the Great Salt Lake were expected at the Newport conference, and preparations on an extensive scale for their re ception, and for tbe general celebration of the festival, were being carried out.

It was also expected, or ambiguously hinted, that miracles would be performed and the credulous Welsh, ever ready to follow any new-fangled doctrine," gave ear thereto jiearrd that 15 knots an hour wonld accomplish the distance to Calcutta in 32 days, 16 knots iu 30 days, and 17 knots in 28 days. Vessels of this class could therefore be prudently calculated on to pei form the entire distance in 30 to 32 days, provided only tbey were not obliged to stop and coal by the way. The next question was, whether a vessel could be constructed of power ami capacity to perform the voyage to Calcutta without stopping to coal by tbe way. Ou this point tbe whole question hinged. rise in prices, neither had the other exercised any material decline.

The Wheat trade has, however, been exceedingly depressed all tbrough the country. The supplies brought forward by the farmers in the provincial markets have not been large, but as tbe buyers were generally anxious to reduce their stocks rather than add to them, they were enabled to purchase Wheat on somewhat easier terms. At this morning's market the fresh supply of Wheat was unusually small; but the heat of the weather occasioned the demand to be very limited, and last Monday's prices were scarcely obtained. The arrivals of Foreign Wheat were large, and there were nearly 20,000 barrels of American Flour in during last week. The trade was exceedingly dull, and to have effected any sales of consequence lower prices must have been taken.

Malt remained without variation. The large arrivals of Foreign Oats caused a decline of Is per quarter, and at tbis decline the dealers were not free buyers. Peas and Beans continued exceedingly scarce, and the prices remained about the same. Flour was very dull in sale, the extreme heat of the as believers. On Monday evening, after the conclusion of one of the services, the brethren, the saints, and the elders, assembled together in a large building known as Sunderland Hall, where it The power of carrying coal for the whole voyage involves tbe ii tended to celebrate the occasion by a tea festival on a ilifli-rence of a cost of I2s to I3s per ton in comparison with a grand scale.

We were all at once transferred into a quiet narrow street, as it might be called, full of printing and lithographic offices, tall, dark, and rusty, while closing up the further end stood a dingy building of narrow front, presenting an ornamental porch. A few minutes served to introduce us to a moderate-sited hall, having a long table in the centre, and an arm chair at the upper end, while several old portraits graced the walls.

It was not without a mental elevation of feeling, as well as some surprise, tbat we learned that this was a ball in which Newton bad spent many an evening. It was, to be quite explicit, the meeting-place of the Royal Society from 1710 till 1782, and, consequently, during not much less than twenty years of the latter life of the illustrious author of the Principia, who, as an officebearer iu the institution, must have often taken an eminent place here. We were not, however, immediately in quest of tbe antiquities of the Royal Society. Our object was to form some acquaintance with the valuable institution which baa succeeded to it in the possession of this bouse. taH nf 40s to 45s per ton which latter is the average of the cost of coal per ton throughout the overland route.

Tbe consumption of coal is i. now to be the great element of cost in steam navigation and if this could be reduced by two-thirds, it was obvious that great corresponding increase of speed and power uiisjhi tit oinaM.od, not only at no increase, but at an actual diminution of expense. In accomplishing this object, increased size in the vessel was a necessary ingredient, and with it an ability to provide accom-DiOilatinn for passengers and goods of the description alluded to. It is a principle in shipbuilding, now ascertained, that in proportion as the vessel is increased in size, her disposable capacity for pBsseogert and cargo increases in a higher ratio thus a vessel wliicli could carry her coals for the voyage to Calcutta would ne-cesssiily possess the capacity to convey a largely increased Lumber of passengers and a large quantity of measurement goods. It is equally matter of experience that tbe speed attain-ible by large vessels is greater in proportion to their i-ower than itli smaller vessels it was clear, therefore, that such a means of communication must possess immense advautage over any tut licrto existing, in its extent of accommodation, comfort, and cheapness.

Atter deliberation and inquiry, your directors are satisfied that ntsels of the class referred to, making one voyage out and home every two months, would find a sufficient amount of passengers sitting down, after a blessing had been invoked by the elders, and a pleasant festivity was anticipated. Suddenly a creaking noise was beard, followed by a sound like a crash of thunder, and immediately the lofty ceiling of exactly one-balf of tbe hall, divided in tbe centre of a large beam, fell almost flat upon tbe multitude below. A terrible shrieking, and screaming, and groaning ensued. Tbe resideuts in the neighbourhood, apprehending some frightful casualty, rushed out of their bouses, and were almost paralysed by tbe continued screams and groans. Presently the windows were burst out.

and the affrighted Mormons appeared, terrified, screaming for help, while some actually flung themselves into the street, and others, clinging to the sills and frames, made those below shudder at their anticipated death or frightful mutilation. A scene of indescribable horror ensued. The crowd of spectators rushed towards the doors of the hall, which they burst in, as well as tbey were able from tbe mass of rubbish, that had fallen inside; and here tbe spectacle was frightful in the extreme.

The condition of the lower classes is miserable, and their food poor and scanty. You need no better proof of this than their emaciated looks.

Meat is seldom tasted by them, and their food is the everlasting soup (so called), made of hot water and a cabbagt leaf, and anidea of butter. With this, and bU noir porridge, they starve from day to day. Look at their stunted, un-muscular figures, and you soon see that in practice they cannot be among the camivora. Whatever may be the price of veal, calves are rare and dear for you may inspect a forest of legs without detecting one. The assembled stumps of the Greenwich pensiontrB would, I verily believe, measure equally with the same number of Breton legs: nor would a hump on the back be considered a greater deformity than a London footman's calf, were it to find its way into Britanny, with its plushed clothed owner.

Of course, with such materials, a large amount of labour is not to be expected, and tbis must be set off against the low wages. Taking this into account, there is not so much difference between the price of labour in England and in Britanny, as I am certain an English labourer would do double the work of a Breton.

The latter part of the work gives a resume of the treatise Creation. We take the first creation, or formation of the world, as the nrst creation of each plant and animal, to be the result of miraculous power. We have seen that probably the world was first made without life upon it. and only gradually prepared for life, at tirst of a very bumble nature, to dwell upon it. We bave also endeavoured to trace the wanderings of the same particles of Pvlv tDe inorganic world to the vegetable; and from that to the animal, and then back again.

Another New Constitution. Louis Napoleon has been trying his hand at a Constitution, and has fixed upon a very congeuial locality for his labours. He has, in fact, been giving a Constitution to Algeria, and be begins by declaring that Frenchmen are to enjoy in Algiers the same civil rights as they enjoy in their own country." This is a bit of humour we did not give Louis Napoleon credit for. The civil rights enjoyed by the French may be a very fair subject for a joke but the idea of putting Algiers and France on a political equality is rather too near tbe truth to be quite agreeable.

Composition of a Sermon. Dr. South, a man of great learning and virtue, relieved himself of his clerical duties one summer, by travelling rather incog. He went into a country church in the north of England one Sabbath morning, and beard the rector read a sermon. In coming from the church, the rector suspected him to be a brother of the ministry, and spoke to him.

He received the rector's courtesies, and thanked bim for the very edifying sermon he had preached, suggesting that it must have been the result of a good deal of labour. Oh, no," said the rector, "we turn off these things rapidly. On Friday Falling Balconies.

An Ameiican writer, who visited the hospital a short time ago, has pointed out to his countrymen this adherence to a bequest during many centuries, as a wonderful instance of integrity and faitbkeeping, honourable to England.

Position of Mr. A W. Pugin. It has been a source of grief, and long known, tbat Mr. Pugin's mind had given way under an excessive strain of professional work and ucrvous excitement, and that he has been placed in a prirate asylum.

Per-hap8o man in the profession has made greater self-sacrifices than Mr. Pugiu, and certainly no believer in the Roman Catholic faith has ever been more devoted to it, giving away all he had to build churches, schools, Considering his means, no one has applied his worldly earnings as Mr. Pugin has done for tbe support of bis religious convictions.

Tbe excessive heat which prevails at present gives some interest to the following account of remarkably hot summers: "In 1132 the earth opened, and the rivers aud springs disappeared, in Alsace.

The Rhine was dried up. In 1152 the heat was so great tbat eggs were cooked in the saud. In 1160, at the battle of Bela, a great number of soldiers died from tbe heat. In 1276 and 1277, in France, an absolute failure of the crops of grass aud oats occurred. In 1303 and 1304, tbe Seine, the Loire, the Rhine, and the Danube were passed over dry-footed.

In 1393 and 1394 great numbers of animals fell dead, aud tbe crops were scorched np. In 1440 the heat was excessive. In 1538, 1539, 1540, and 1541 tbe rivers were almost entirely dried op. In 1556 there was a great drought over all Europe. In 1615 and 1616 tbe heat was overwhelming in France, Italy, aud tbe Netherlands.

In 1646 there were 58 consecutive days of excessive beat. In 1676 excessive heal. The same was the case in tbe first three years of the eighteenth century. In 1718 it did not rain once from tbe month of April to the month of October. The crops were burnt up, the rivers were dried up, and tbe theatres were closed by decree of tbe Lieutenant of Police.

The thermometer marked 36 degrees Reaumur (113 of Fahrenheit). In gardens which were watered frnit trees flowered twice. In 1723 and 1724 tbe beat was extreme. In 1746, summer very hot and very dry, which absolutely calcined the crops. During several months no rain fell.

In 1748, 1754, 1760, 1767, 1778, and 1788 tbe heat was excessive. In 1811, tbe year of tbe celebrated comet, the summer was very warm and the wine delicious, even at Susenes. In 1818 the theatres remained closed for nearly a month, owing to the beat. Tbe maximum heat was 35 degrees (110 75 Fahrenheit). In 1830, while fighting was going on on the 27th, 28th, and 29th July, the thermometer marked 36 degrees centritade (97 75 Fahrenheit).

In 1832, in tbe insurrection of the 6tb and 6th of June, the thermometer marked 35 degrees centrigade. In 1835 the Seine was almost dried up. In 1850, in the month of Jane, on the second appearance of tbe cholera, tbe thermometer marked 34 degrees centrigade. The highest temperat'ire which man can support for a certain time varies from 40 to 45 degrees (104 to 113 of Fahrenheit). Frequent accidents, however, occur at a lesa elevated temperature."
