CAPTURE OF AN OTTER IN THE SEIONT RIVER. SIR,- What appeared in your last publication respect- ing the above affair has been wrongly misrepresented by some of your correspondents, for the otter was run into by a. person of our town named Hughes, assisted, by five others, viz., Williams, Jones, Hughes, Jones, and Griffiths, together with six small terriers, who hunted the animal out twice, and it was at last captured by Hughes by the tail, who boldly smashed his head against a stone in the presence of a large number of spectators. WILLIAM GRIFFITH, A witness to the above transaction. Carnarvon, 21st June, 1865. SIR JOSEPH PAXTON. SIR,-It was Sir Joseph's good fortune, early in life, to obtain the friendship and patronage of the late Duke of Devonshire. The duke's princely munificence en- abled him to exercise his talent and genius as a botanist, florist, and landscape gariener, to make the park, grounds, and gardens at Ghatsworth the admiration of all England. There was a simplicity as well as breadth and greatness in his character, which made him beloved by all. This genial manner, his friendliness of disposi- tion, aud sterling worth, had made him the idol of the neighbourhood leng before he became famous as the designer of the first Crystal Palace for the Exhibition of 1851. That happy design, at once, brought his name prominently before the whole world. By a kind of intuitive inspiration, his genius conceived the brilliant idea, which sprang into life and light, and fixed itself m immortal beauty. The second Crystal Palace at Sydenham sprang from the same fertile brain, consi- derably enlarged, and much more bsautiful in outline than its prototype. This glorious cathedral of art, with the terraces, grounds, and fountains form the most fitting monument to his memory. By this he has earned a niche in the temple of fame, and through this his name will ever live in history. 1 had the plea- sure of seeing the opening of the first exhibition; I was at the-,ereiiiony of raising the first column of the Crys- tal Palace at Sydenham I was also at the opening of the palace, where Sir Joseph was graciously received and complimented by the Queen, amid the deafening cheers of thousands of his fellow-countrymen. At all these places he was the observed of all observers," and justly so. It is unnecessary, in an article of this kind, to enumerate the other great works that he was intimately connected with. But I may be permitted to -say that everything that contributed to the rational pleasures of the people had, at vll times, his warmest support and best wishes; and, indeed, much of his valu- able time was given to objects which have since given pleasure to thousands of his countrymen. But he was cut down in the height of his useful career. Alas how fleeting and short-lived are all earthly things! The other day, I attended his funeral in the churchyard of Edensor, on the outskirts of Chatsworth Park, to pay my last tribute of love and respect towards him. "W lien I heard the solemn werds, "ashes to ashes, dust to dust," and the muffled sound of the soil dropping on the coffin, a shudder ran through my whole frame, and through the moisteess in my own eyes I beheld many tears dropped on his grave. His grave is within three v- or four yards to the grave of the late Duke of Devon- shire. And there tfhey both skep the long sleep 'of death, almost side by side—master and mac, dlike and knight, friend and friend, brother and brother; for they were each and all of these things to one another. The duke, in his lifetime, felt that the genius of his ser- vant and'friend shed a lastre, even on the noble house of -Cavendish. I have deemed it my duty to say this much publicly of Sir Joseph Pax ton, for I have had the pleasure and the honour of being one of his assistants for fourteen years. During the whole of that time he never said an unkind word tome, but was always genial, affable, and friendly. Peace be with him. TALHAIARST. THE DENBIGH WATER CART. SIR,—Dufet'Ho! desires to know what has become of the watering-cart in this town. I beg to inform him that it is to be found on a piece of ground adjoining Holland Cottage in Lento;:pool, and unless a better feeling- of co-operation should arise amongst all classes, it will in all probability remain there undisturbed for an indefinite period. This "tcmble down watering cart" waspurchateda few yeais'back by the corporation of Denbigh at a con- siderable cast, on the urgent request of the tradesmen of the towa, and the express understanding that the latter would subscribe amongst themselves and others aiiftieleut'Unds to work it. Having been requested to take charge of the cart and the disbursement of the money collected, I found the duties I had to perform entailed upon me not much sacrifice of time and trouble for the first season or two-for the funds were fully adequate for all purposes required. But a considerable change has taken place in the opinions of those who have hitherto contributed towards this fund. It is asserted by the tradesmen that it is unfair to tax them with the heaviest part of the burden. Private families, on the other hand, maintain that it is the interest of the tradesmen that the streets should be watered, and that they should provide the greater por- tion of the funds. Such ■ conflicting opinions prevailing amongst those who are to be canvassed—it is by no means strange that canvassers for conMtHunons cannot be found, hence the reason why our watering cart has Dot been seen out. "Dust Ho!" instances one or two cases of its being seen last summer busy at work during a shower of rain. Allowing such to have th9 case, I do not see how such oc- currences can be avoided, unless we are all as well up in meteorological observations as the late Admiral Fitzroy. What Dust Ho means by comparing our cart to all average size watering can I cannot conceive, but I ap- prehend if he was subjected to its operation for two seconds only, it would so effectually take the dust out of his eyes that he could not fail to appreciate its'true dimensions. For ray part I shall give up all connexion with the business, and I trust that "Dust Ho!" overflowing ac he must be with philanthropic benevolence, will forth- ■withijuaip into harness, and endeavour to initiates better. and more effectual plan of suppressing our livicar nuisaaae. Wburs truly, JOHN ARMOR. Royal Oak, Denbigh, June 20. TURNPIKE THE DISTRICT OF MOnÐ. SIR,-I cannot imagine what is the reason the trustees of the Flint, Holywell, and Mostyn turnpike roads, and also the.'trustees of the Lower King's Ferry turnpike roads are now attending different magistrates' 'meet- ings, and making application for a rate in aid of their respective turnpike trust fuads out of the high way rates of every township through which the turnpike road pass. I have always looked upon the subject as a. great hardship, but in answer it is urged "that passing through the parish or township the inhabitants have the advantage-of the road for their own use and benefit in moving aboat from one place to the other within the, parish or township, in the..same way as they do on their own parigh-or township roads, and consequently they ought ill fairness, for such use and benefit, to be liable to keep it in the same state of repair as their own parish or township roads. But if'they wish to make a further use of it is the same way as the public at large do, in travelling from one large town to (another and beyond the limits of .their parish or township,they ought in the same way to be liable to the tolL" But neither the inhabltMItB of the parish of Mold nor the inhabitants of the townships focming the parish have the advantage of the turnpike road for their own use and benefit in moving about without paying toll from one place to the other, even within the parish or township in which they reside. They cannot avoid the toll because ther-parish of Mold is blessed with twenty- nine turnpike gates, side gates, bars and dhains erected upon about twenty-one miles of turnpike road (of which nearly one mile and a half is repaired and maintained by the county), and out of the eleven townships forming the parish of Mold only one has escaped without a highwayman living.-therein, the township alluded to is not possessed of the-advantage of having half a mile of turnpike road passing through it. The trustees of the Flint, HolyweU, and Mostyn road have taken care to insert in their present act a clause limiting the sum to be,expended to keep and iiaaintain the roads to 13001. per annum, and also 3001. ((nearly one fourth) to pay salaries of officers, &c., employed by them, exclusive of salaries of toll collectors, tbeerection of toll-houses, rents of toll-houses, law proceedings, &c. The interest of mortgage debt amounting to about 4001. jper annum, as a matter of course, is also to be paid. The tolls ace now let for about 3300L, to this .sum .should be added the amount received from the county -for repairing toads over county bridges. The surplus leveaue therefore is about 1SOOl. if this sum or a moiety thereof were applied annually in paying off the principal money advanced on the security of the tolls, the farmers of every townshtp through which the turnpike roads Eass would congratulate themselves in a short time, ecause the rate IB aid would DO more be wanted. I will therefore ask why are the townships now saddled with a rate in aid to the tune of between 13001. and 15002. when the revenue so considerably excAmfa thA expenditure. The revenue of the Lower King's Ferry turnpike roads is at present nearly 32002., and the trustees of these roads have also been very careful to insert a clause in their act limiting the amount to be expended in repair- ing and maintaining the roads to a mere nominal sum. It is suggested that the trustees applying for a rate in aid of their funds should:— Jat. Put the tolls on the full tilt allowed by their act, bf doing so they may render it unnecessary to extract aajr money from the pockets of those who have neither hone, cow, mule, sheep, or donkey to use either turn- pike or township road. 2nd. Reduce the salaries of their clerks and sur- veyors. June 20th, 1865. REBECCA. DEMAND VERSUS SUPPLY OF LABOUR. Slat-The advertisements for curates have, of late, greatly exceeded those for curacies e.g., in the Eccle- siastical Gazette* for the present month there are fifty- five advertisements for curates, and only twenty-five for ewcifs. The coateqaeace a that the curate'a labour has advanced in price, and bids fair to be higher than that of the groom of the parish esquire. Another consequence, it is hoped, will be a due regard for the position of the stipendiary curate, the lofty rector or vicar no longer treating and talking of his fellow labourer or substitute as he is only my curate." The bishops too may learn better maurfters towards that useful class of men-stipendiary curates-and receive and dismiss them with some degree of courtesy, instead of putting them to the task of groping* their way out of the episcopal residence, as if the poor curate were only a draper's assistant, who had been soliciting an order for goods. I am, sir, June 21st. A RECTOR. Their lordships are too dignified to call for the servant to open the doors, the departing curate may find and open the door himself as best he may, and think himself well off if he has been allowed a chair while in the episcopal presence. ANTIQUACKERY AND THE ENGLISH LAN- GUAGE. SIR,-In your last impression your would-be gram- marian correspondent Anti-quackery figures gloriously as linguist. But those of your readers who merely glanced over his letter must have observed that he has undertaken a work for which he is not in the least qualified. First of all he compliments the Herald' office by saying, We have never seen a passage so full of typographical errors;" for what had poor Methodist, whoever he is, to do with the type ? Perhaps, indeed, Anti-quackery thinks that he is one of the compositors of your paper. To say nothing of his uncouth English throughout his letter, I select the following sentences from 0 the last seven lines of the same As the Methodists would have collected more than them." The government has all the right, they have given." Every denomination have equal rights." And yet this very writer is the person that complains of Methodist's grammatical errors." Anti-quackery's logic is equally ridiculous. However, if Anti-quackery has made a bad job of his English, perhaps he will try his hand at arith- metic, by solving a question involving a knowledge only of the simple rules, viz., who used the schools the lunger, those audacious" people the Methodists, to hold suppers, &c. or the Independents, who used them (they, indeed, "for an educational purpose"), for one whole-, day of each week for twelve months ? I am, sir, yours, &c., o L*. DOCTOR PIERCE AND THE DENBIGH GRAM- MAR SCHOOL. SIR,—Doctor Pierce has published his threatened letter-the mountain has at last brought forth the mouse-but such a specimen! As it is possible, how- ever, your readers have not appreciated its peculiarities, and as it contains professions of a high order, perhaps I may be excused for analyzing it with the view of assist- ing their memory for the future. Dr. Pierce, though BO professor according to his idea, still professes he has a respect for the name and cause of Dr. Pierce professes a respect for the Calvinistic Methodists con- nection and for the Calvinistic Methodist Church at Denbigh Dr. Pierce professes also a respect for the Church of England! and for Mr. Parry of Denbigh!- and, moreover, that his respect for them is deeper and purer than mine! But the inhabitants of Denbigh, who know us both and are best acquainted with our secret expressions of opinion, shall be judges. He has ventured out also in the garb of a logician, and has made an amazing discovery! viz. :-That the Calvinistic Methodist Church at Denbigh requires a. stated minister! In this point, however, we fortunately agree, and soon may the want be supplied. But what on earth has this to do with the questions at issue be- tween us! Will it prove that the Grammar School is a Church of England School ?-that the catechism and principles of the church should be taught therein ? Will it prove that what he spoke at the council was either correct in principle or consistent with the conduct of a gentleman ? Or, will it prove that the Doctor really understood what he either advocated or condemned there, or that he intends to "buckle to," and master those subjects for the future? As the logical con- sequences of his discovery of this principle are so great, and as it affects in so extraordinary a manner questions and matters so remote, it is unfortunate the discovery was not made before Fort S'umter fired its first shot in 1863, or before the last comet made its appearance in the heavens. Dr. Pierce also throws his patronizing wing over Mr. Hughes of Ystrad! and quotes Dr. Tumour and the Mayor as authorities No doubt they will feel them- selves highly honoured by the favourable notice he at present takes of them. All these facts are so amazingly important, Mr. Editor, that it would undoubtedly be an inestimable loss to posterity if either of them should by any possibility be lost. I hope, therefore, you will forward your number which contains them, to the probable author of that -section of the history of England, which will include the most important facts of the present century. To crown the whole Dr. Pierce has "framed a. lengthy epistle for my private perusal;" but which he will not publish-" entertaining such a-degree of respect for my family and the church to which I belong." I quote his words. Now, sir, if his "published" letter is a fair specimen of this "lengthy private" letter, the private" one evpn will not assist us in the least in disposing of the Denbigh Grammar School questions, out of which all this has originated; neither will it assist us in clearing up the incorrect facts, the incon- wftiifc of apprehension I laid at Dr. Pierce's door in my last letter, as in his published letter -from a strong feeling of disinterestedness, no doubt- he has defended everybody but himself! But if I un- derstand it correctly, sir, this letter contains a base _nd malicious and cowardly insinuation. If these words are too strong, I -am sorry I have ap- plied them, but this appears to be really the venemous fang of his epistle, and the purpose apparently for which it was written, and had it not been for this sen- tence which he has placed first—in the very front, sir, of his attack, I should have passed by the puerilities which this letter contains, without any notice whatever. He insinuates, however, that my private or public cha- racter is so porous that a respect for the feelings of my family and friends ta the only consideration which pre- vents him from exposing it. I call upon him, sir, to prove his words and if he confines himself to the truth I will take no legal advantage of -his statement. If he will not do this, let him apologise as a gentleman and let the apology be as public as the insinuation.' My family, I am told, require no consideration at the hands of the doctor on this point; and tp to this day (and I am proud to be able to state it) I have enjoyed their perfect and entire confidence, "though they know more of my private history than any one else. And as for my neighbours—enemies, if I 'have any, as well as friends —they shall judges between us, and no doubt will act an honest part. It would be extremely unbe- coming in me to say a word respecting my private or public character, as we are in the hands of others in these matters, and they are the proper judges. I there- fore can only await either the proof or an apology from the docter; and hope I have asked nothing more than all who feel a shade of respect for themselves, and a jealousy of any attack upon what is dearer to them even than life, could fairly demand. In the discussions we have had respecting the Ben- bigh Grammar School, I trust I have not uttered a single syllable which has bordered even upon personal matters, or which could be personally offensive to any one. 'If I have, I shall be most happy to makeithe most frank and ample apology. I state I have said nothing but what the fair and full decision of the prin- ciples affecting the case legitimately allowed. We spoke plainly, strongly, and fearlessly, it is true, on both sides; but tf I can judge oth«rs by my own feel- ings, it is not only the birthright of a. Briton to enjoy and exercise the right of private judgment, but the (fearless and open confession of that judgment, tends to cement friendship, which is real, even between op- !j posing parties. This is not, however, the case, I fear with Dr. Pierce, and this is not the first time the public and open discussion of a public question has dwindled down on his part, to remarks which were unworthy -of his position. Although he has intimated in his letter that it is a Messing to the world my power is circumscribed by ex- ternal circumstances—in this instance I can tell him that it is controlled by a. wish to deal leniently with a public offender. I shall, therefore, let him go, and your readers shall form their own opinion, whether his letter is creditable to him either as a man of sense of hotMMK, of consistency, or as a Christian or a gentleman. I am, sir, yours truly, THOMAS GEE.

FUNERAL OF TEE BISHOP OF CHESTER.—The funeral of the Bishop of Chester took place in that city on Tues- day morning at ten o'clock. The bishop, before his death, expressed a wish that his interment might be conducted as privatdy as passible. The great -respect in which his memory was held by the citizens generally induced the corporation, through the town desk, to see the family, with a view of ascertaining whether the wish of the deceased prelate could not be carried out in a modified sense. To this the family answered that they could not, bearing in remembrance the bishop's wish, permit any departure from -strict privacy in <eon- nection with his funeral. This being the case, the only way left to the citizensi of testifying their respectfor the bishop was to close their shops during the time of the interment. This they did without an exception. The funeral cortege left the Palace, in Abbey-square soon after nine o'clock, and proceeded to the cemetery where the deceased prelate was interred. The cortege consisted of a hearse, six mourning coaches, and the bishop's private carriage (closed). The mourning coaches contained none but the relatives aad near friends of the deceased. The procession to the cemetery was witnessed by large numbers of spectators. After the mourners had entered the cemetery the gates were closed to every one while tbebWfiaJ service was being performed. On its conclusion, and after the family had left the ceme- tery, the public were admitted. Thousands of peesons availed themselves of the opportunity of taking a look at the coffin as it lay ia tbe grave. The funeral service was read by the Rev. Mr. Hewsoa, chaplain of the ce- metery. All the proceeding* were characterised with the greatest possible privacy. Consequent on the funeral °* bishop, half muffled peak were rung <on the bells Li" **ete Nicfcofcuni, and St. Luke'* churches j THE LANGUAGE OF FRUITS AND FLOWRES.—The liliac in April-" Give me leave."

The cabbage in December—" My heart's my own." WILLS AND BEQUESTS. -The will of the nineteenth Baron Willoughby de Eresby, second Baron Gwydyr, and joint hereditary great chamberlain of England, has been proved in London by his executors, Mr. Peter ) Robert Burrell, his nephew, Mr. Edgar Drummond, Mr. Reginald Warren, Loid Elphinstone, and Mr. Alex- ander B. Cochrane, M.P. The personalty was sworn under 120,0001. The large estates in England, Scotland, and Wales are left in trust for the use of his lordship's only son, the Hon. Albenc Willoughby (now Lord Wil- loughby de Eresby) and his issue. In the event of the present Lord Willoughby, who is unmarried, dying without issue, the estates are entailed on his elder sister, Lady Aveland (to whom the female barony of Wil- loughby de Eresby would descend) and her issue and an annuity of 50001. a year is bequeathed to the remain- ing sister Lady Canngton. The barony of Gwydyr would, in the above case, devolve on Mr. P. R. Burrell, of Stoke Park, Suffolk, nephew of the late lord, with an annuity of 20UOt. a year. A legacy of 10001. has been left to each of the trustees, who are also nominated executors. There are several minor legacies and annui- ties, and a bequest of one year's full wages to each of his lordship's servants. The will of Lieutenant-Gem ral Sir Samuel Burdon Ellis, was proved in the London court last month. The executors are his relict, Lady Ellis, and Mr. Henry Edwin Drayton, of Maresfield Powderworks. Sir Samuel has bequeathed the whole of his property to his w ife. Lady Ellis, for her ladyship's sole use and benefit. THE VALUE OF LITTLE BIRDs.-Happily, we are now told of the unusual swaims of small birds observed this summer in most parts of the country; and if we can but.convince our rural population what a hlessing this is, occurring as it does at the same time with a plague of caterpillars, grubs, and flies, we may hope to restore something like the natural balance between the destroyers of vegetation and the destroyers of the in- sects themselves. It is yet time to save our produce by setting a thief to catch a thief throughout our fields and gardens. The phenomena of the present season are re- markable. If we go for shade into the woods in this leafy month of June, we stop short before thickets where the stout young oaks are as bare as in January, or show only the skeletons of leaves, where caterpillars are st'll searching for some remnant of moist green food. If we meet the country doctor in his rounds, he says that he cannot ride in shaded roads without his hat in the hot noon, because he finds hat and coat collar thickly strewn with caterpillars, which have dropped upon him as he passed. In the parson's garden, the gooseberry bushes show some withering fruit, but no foliage; and instead, a show of caterpillars, actually covering every twig. In the squire's pleasure garden, the ladies are mourning over their roses, almost every petal of which is pierced, or the very heart eaten out, by some grub or fly. On any grassy bank where the wayfarer would like to rest, there is such a coating of white grubs that he turns away in disgust. If we go out in the moonlight, a dozen cockchafers knock against our faces in five minutes and we foresee the profusion of fat white worms which will, in consequence, be turned up by the plough next year. The wall fruit has already received the wound which will turn to decay before the autumn, and the canker is planted in the apples and pears, which will be deformed and seamed, and hard, and without flavour at crop time. There never was a. finer agricultural prospect, but for this but the farmer dreads seeing the mangel leaves blown and corrupted by the vast families of grubs hidden in their substance, and the collars of the roots infested by big caterpillars, fattening on the sweet juices which he iatended for his cows. It is well if he knows that the rooks can help him in this last case, and that they do not want to eat the root, as he once believed, but the destroyers of the loot. These melancholy sights are not, however, all that is to be seen. They present themselves in districts where there are sparrow clubs, and men and boys who shoot a little bird wherever they have a chance. They are seen where a zealous and patriotic rural constable, or any lounger who has no- thing to do, presses his services on the residents, to net the ivy on house or wall, to rout out the spaces under the eaves, and make a clearance of every sparrow, finch, thrush, swallow, or other winged creature. Where the pest is not found, it is where these bird destroyers are not allowed their will.Daily News.

Farmers' and Gardeners' Chronicle. REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE DURING THE PAST WEEK. WHEAT.—There was a short supply brought forward at Mark-lane on Monday from both Essex and Kent, and being in good condition it met a steady sale at the prices of the previous week, and a clearance was effected of the day's supply. The most favourable state of the weather is engaging the farmers in the hayfield, and until that work has been completed, no increase in the supplies can be expected and as the millers appear desirous of holding pretty good stocks of the best fresh-thrashed qualities, as better cannot be grown, and the prices are considered to be very moderate, the whole of the arrivals can now be placed. There was not so much pressure to sell foreign, and although the transactions were only to a limited extent, these were at full prices, particularly for choice qualities of old. The imports consisted of 560 quarters from Auclam, 520 quarters from Bremen, 2550 quarters from Cronstadt, 21,442 quarters from Dantzic, 400 quarters from Dunkirk, 180 quarters from Ham- burg, 3500 quarters from Odessa. 4157 quarters from St. Petersburg, 55 quarters from Pillau, 2130 quarters from Stetten, and 1320 quarters from Stralsund, making a total of 37,314 quarters, being larger than was generally expected and much of the new coming forward in poor condition, such was offered at very moderate prices, without bringing forward either town or country buyers, whilst fine old descriptions were held with more firm- ness, and no forced sales were resorted to, the importers holding with much confidence. The imports at Liver- pool on Tuesday were 16,803 quarters, besides 6907 sacks and 1627 barrels flour. Both millers and dealers were limited buyers, taking only just what they wanted for immediate use, which they secured at a decline of Id. to 2d. per cental on the pi ices of the previous week, although holders were reluctant sellers at this reduction in the value of any description. At Hull the imports amounted to 6417 quarters, and choice samples of foreign were fully as dear, whilst inferior qualities were in- effectually offered on lower terms. The small supply brought forward by the farmers was cleared off at about the prices of the previous week. Prices were well sup. ported at Leeds, with a good steady demand from the millers for new parcels. At Ipswich a limited quantity was brought forward some of the light land farmers refused to sell any, and others obtained the extreme rates of the past market day. There was only a mode- rate delivery at Lynn, which met a good sale at quite as much money for all descriptions; both merchants and millers were willing buyers of fresh thrashed qualities. Spalding market was fully as dear, with a fair supply and a good demand. Taking into account the favourable state of the weather for the crops, this firmness must be traced to the millers requiring to freshen up their flour, which they cannot do by using fresh foreign samples, and also to a feeling that present prices are safe for so fine a quality as last year's crop, which must be valuable come what weather will for this year's harvest, and no parties appear alarmed at holding a little extra stock for the present. At Mark-lane, ou Wednesday, there were extremely short supplies of English, but fair imports of foreign. Fresh thrashed samples of English were taken off by the town millers at Monday's prices, and there was no quotable change in the value of any description of foreign. There has not been so much firmness in the Scotch markets as in those of the South. The farmers' supply at Edinburgh met a good sale, at rather higher prices there was less brought forward than the previous week. The imports at Leith were 6481 quarters, and the demand for foreign qualities was very languid, at however no quotable change in the value of any description. Up the Clyde, for Glasgow market, the imports were only 446 quarters, and those at Grangemouth were merely 20 sacks of flour. The transactions were limited, but for all good qualities prices were fully as high. At the markets held on Thursday the deliveries were very moderate, the farmers being very busy in the hay fields, during the present most favourable weather for securing it. A fair demand was experienced at very full prices for all useful qualities, and as short supplies must be expected until haymaking has been finished, fully as much money is likely to be made until new can be brought to market, and the prices then will depend on the yield, and how it Has been fidexxrod »xo to \,ouJ.itl\)n. On Erilay, at Mark-lane, the supplies of English were very moderate, but there were good imports of foreign. Home grown, in prime condition, realised Monday's prices, with a steady demand, whilst foreign samples were held for as much money, particularly the best Russians and good old Dantzics. At Liverpool business was of a limited character, there being a small attendance of buytrs, and prices, in most instances, were slightly under those of Tuesday. The millers at Wakefield took off a moderate quantity of fresh thrashed, at previous quotations. The weekly average was 41s 5d on 70,704 quarters, against 41s lid on 70,443 quarters the previous week. The corresponding one of the past year was38s lid on 55,331 quarters. BARLEY.-The arrivals of English on Monday were 746 quarters coastwise and by railways, with 20 quarters from Scotland, and imports of foreign amounting to 4462 quarters, the greatest portion of which came from the south of Europe, and the remainder from France. There is now no demand for malting qualities, and prices of such are nominal. For feeding samples the sale has not latterly been so good, and prices have generally been in favour of the buyers; sweet parcels of Danubian are worth 21s to 21s 6d per quarter, weighed 50 lbs. per bushel, whilst heated cargoes are sold at very low and irregular rates, but the latter are quite difficult of dis- posal, not being very palatable for even pigs. The accounts of the crop are generally very encouraging, and with a continuance of favourable weather, a good malting saHiple may be looked for this season again. Some soils are suffering for want of rain. On Wednes- day there were moderate imports of foreign, and no quotable "Variation occurred in the value of any descrip- tion. The arrivals coastwise on Friday were only 50 quarters, with imports of foreign amounting to 3080 quarters. Good feeding qualities met a steady sale at no quotable change in the value cf these. The stocks in granary are moderate, but these consist of numerous cargoes which arrived in a. heated state, and these remain without any demand whilst good, fresh, sweet qualities supported previous currencies, with a fair consumptive demand. The weekly average was 28s 8d on 2751 quarters against 29s Id on 2873 quarters tho previous week. The coirespcading one of the past year was 29s 6d on 4006 quarters. <> OATS. For Monday's mapbet the arrivals of English were 624 quarters, all of which came by the railways. There were 301 quarters from Scotland, whilst the imports of foreign amounted to 28,350 quarters, of which 17,414 quarters wore alone from Sweden, the remsaoder from Holland, Denmark, Russia and the lower Baltic Ports; the aggiegate supplies exhibiting a falling off to those of the previous month. The large dealers were more anxious to -get into stock, and tlyi consumers of the metropolis taking off a fair Quantity, all sorts commanded an advanoe of 6d per quarter, and the buyers were more ready to pay this enh; uaoement, from the reports of the hay -crop turning ottt touch under previous expectations tlie cold nifdifl^ with occasional frosts, having materially checked the growth of grass, and the yield on the uplands will be a very short one indeed. A nice fall ef rain wo IIld be very acceptable to all parties except the ha; /makers; but they have had a good run in a fortnight of dry weather, iSf A SUD'd ,sca £ cet.ly showe within that period. A good deal of hay has cor seauentlv been secured in the primest order possible, 'and sonfe new has already appeared in the metrofiolit an markets beinc wliertkiilastyw.

At Liverpool the imports were 1409 quarters, when sata were «fFapted at ft reduction of la per quarter. There were no imports at Hull, and prices were rather in favour of the buyers, but the demand was very limited. At Leith the imports were 997 quar- ters white samples were scarce and qaite as dear. There were no arrivals for Glasgow market, and prices were without any variation. FOREIGN GRAIN.—The markets in the north of Europe have been pretty firm, without much activity in the demand for any article. Holders of wheat at Hamburg have been very firm in their demands, and have taken a considerable quantity to granary, and there are not many offers ex barge. In France there has been little activity, yet speculative marks of flour have been rather more buoyant, and prices well supported, the six marks at Paris being worth equal to 30s per sack of 280 lb. The bakers, however, have bought very cautiously. Wheat, however, has receded about Is per quarter on the week. Bread stuffs in the United Stated are not brought forward freely from the west. The lower quali- ties of tlour at New York have advanced front 25 to 50 cents per barrel, extra states being worth 21s to His fid, Ohio and Indiana 22s 9d to 24s 3d, Canadian 22s to 28s 3d, Southdown 25s 9d to 29s, fancies and high extras 33s to 40s 6d per barrel. Wheat was 10 to 12 cents per 601b higher. Western white 50s to 52s fid, Canadian 47s 6d to 56s 2d, western red, winter, 38s 9,1 to 42s 6d, western red, spring, 36s 3d to 37s 6d per 480 lb. The trade for floating cargoes has teen quiet, with a ten- dency of prices downwards. Ghirka wheat 37s to 37 9d, Polish, Odessa 37s, Odessa maize 29s per 480 lb. -Bell's Weekly Messenger. PLANT DEPARTMENT.—As unusual activity appears to exist in the iusect world tuis season, see that sickly or badly rooted specimens, if any, are kept free from red spider also that young stock is not allowed to suffer from want of pot loom, and during bright weather like the present atteud carefully to watering, giving weak liquid manure to all plants in free growth that are likely to be benefited by it. Such stove plants as may have been removed to conservatories or greenhouses while in bloom sho.ild be replaced in heat as soon as theiv beaut y is over, in order to permit their young wood to get ripened before short days set in. FLOWER GARDEN AND PLANT HOUSES.—Out of doors trimming, staking, aud pegging down must be well fol- lowed up where neatness and order are essential. See that sufficiently strong stakes are applied to plants with heavy foliage. Keep roses as much as possible free from insects, and if time can be spared, dead blooms should be removed. Azale(tS.-Shift any of the young I, growing plants that require more pot room, give plenty of air, shade in hot weather, and syringe daily. Set plants that have done growing out of doors, in some airy situation—to rest and harden their wood. Camel- lias.—Plants on which the bloom buds are forward, and that do not require shifting, may be set out «f doors in a shaded situation. Shift all that require it. Syringe daily in hot weather. Poinsettia Pulchcrrima.—This is so much admired during the winter months, that too much care can scarcely be bestowed on it. Plants of it may now be partially dried off preparatory to their being cut down. As soon as the young shoots have fairly started again, let the plants be taken out of their pots, their balls reduced, and repotted in the same sized pAs as before. When the latter are filled with r. ots. a last shift into 9-inch pots may be given. They may then be placed in a cold pit, and kept close for a short time, after which air may be freely admitted until the begin- ning of September, when they should be replaced ;n the stove. The great point is to get the wood well ripened that secured, a fine display of large brilliantly- coloured floral leaves may with confidence be expected. Vines.-See that bunches for use late in the season are severely thinned, and also that the crop left is not too heavy in proportion to the strength of the vines. Where the fruit is swelling be careful to maintain a moist state of the atmosphere, and give every possible attention to the roots, keeping the border in a healthy state zs to moisture, and if watering is found necsssary use good strong manure water. Give abundance of air where the fruit is colouring, and do not allow plants in pots to remain in the house to cause damp. Where the fruit is ripe and expected to hang for some time, the atmosphere of the house should be kept as cool as possible but a little fire heat will probably be necessary occasionally in order to keep the atmosphere dry. HARDY FRUIT AND KITCHEN GARDEN.—Thin and stop the young shoots of all trained fruit trees, and now make the final thinnings of peaches and nectarines, of course leaving the heaviest crop on the most vigorous trees aud strongest branches. As a general rule, no two fruit should be left together. Plums of the large kinds, as well as the finer sorts of pears, should also be thinned if the crop is too heavy. Young peach and apricot trees, when making over-vigorous leaders, should have the points of the branches shortened, to encourage them to make other shoots less vigorous, and of a fruit- ful character this will obviate the necessity ot short- ening them back at the winter pruning. Lettuces.- These are everywhere very fine this year. Continue to plant out from early sowings, and to keep up succes- sional crops. Pens.-A sowing or two of these should now be made. Scarlet Runners.—If not already done, sow at once for a main crop j also a good breadth of French beans. Strawberries.—These will require at- tention. Layer the runners intended for put culture early, as well as those required for making new planta- tions. All spare runners will be cut auay, and keep the plants fret. from weeds. CATTLE MARKETS, FAIRS, LC. — Wolverhampton, June 14.—An average supply of fat beasts, the general quality of which wao t>ol.bly sovd..

The supply of grazing stock small, and the demand slow, owing to the dry weather. Milch cows and in-calves much sought for, with few on the market. THE WOOL TRADE.—The public sales of colonial wool continue to be well attended by buyers. For long stapled qualities there is a steady demand, and in some instances prices exhibit a slight advance from last week. Faulty wools continue to move off slowly, at the recent decline in the quotations. The export demand is tolerably active, and French buyers have continued to operate freely. In the English wool trade, an increased amount of business has been transacted, and prices have mi i- r 3 shown a. tendency to improve, jlimj impure into jiuuuou hst week was 2819 bales from Sydney, 1495 Adg&ide, 771 Port Philip, 2158 Wellington, 2901 Hjbart Town, 1600 Algoa Bay, and 949 Port Natal.
