      IBOSTEES . Loud GoDerich , | A . A . Vansittaut , Esq . . As working-men organised for the management and execution of our own business , we appeal with great confidence to our fellowworking mem for their heavtv support . We ask that support in the plain words of plain men , without the usual shopkeeping tricks and falsehoods . We do so because we know that we offer an opportu . nity for the exercise of a sound economy , but we make our appeal more particularly because we believe that every honest artizau in supporting us will feel that he is perfoiming a duty to the men of his class , which to overlook or neglect , would be a treason and a disgrace . We ask for the support of working-men in the full assurance that no better value can be given for money than that which we offerand we desire success through that support , not solely that we may rescue ourselves from the wretchedness and slavery of the slop system—but more particularly that our fellow-workers of all trades , encouraged by our example , may , through the profitable results of self-mauagement , place themselves and thair children beyond the reach of poverty or crime . Relying on the good faith of the people , we await patiently tho resuit of this appeal . Waltee Coomb , Manager . List of pbices . . , £ s . d . £ s . d .

      Lu reste , nifcht and day there was an lndescnbale tumult , a tempest of confused appellations , of vociferations and imprecations ; in the court , the clatter of arms on the pavement , the brutal epigrams of the drunken soldiers and the agents of police ; on the stairs there was a continual din of the harried feet of the arriving prisoners , driven on by the gendarmes ; beneath , the curses and shrieks of some unfortunate * , who had been already rendered almost mad by the sufferings they had endured ; and , above all , these horrid noises , the continual clashing of the great gate , which hourly opened to give admittance to the waggons laden with prisoners . ifere ^ e . nifeht and day there was an indescribale tumult ,

      Often , when the gale had been again closed the smentsde-ville threw themselves , like tigere , on the prisoners , who had their hands bound behind their backs . They knocked them down , and left them upon the stones , where several of them expired . -Doubtless this appears to you " mon strously incredible . To believe it you require to call up all the ! eg , We horror and contempt with which the existing regime inspires you . Well , notwithstanding , this did occur-neither more nor less ; we saw it from the windows or our cehs , » hi : h opened on the court . It is as trie astbat Bonapaite has violated the Constitution—as true as that Reybell and Canrobert massacred passers by on the Boulevards . Each prison had its special system c . { execution and of death . The prisoners were flbot at ALzas , at the Champ de Mats , and in the different parts of the town ; at the prefecture of police they were killed by driving in their skulls !

      It was during the night especially that these savage exe . cations took place . In the day , the prisoners were grossly insulted , and overwhelmed with cannibal menaces . I will never forget with what an expression of ferocious joy , with what a look of triumphant rage a sergeant of the gendarmerie mobile approached me , and said : — " Twenty-five of yonr friends have been condemned to death , and will be executed immediately . You will pass them all !" Although we were constantly locked up in onr cells we conld , notwithstanding , converse through the wickets . ' In the morning , during our five minutes' promenade ' , we could hastily exchange a few words ; we could communicate

      to each other the news we had learnt—news always exaegeraled , greedily gathered , and ardently commented upon . The depertments were on fire ; they refused to bow beneath the yoke of the gallows-birds of the Elysee ; in the Sontb , Montpellier , Marseilles itself , had taken the initia five of the insurrection . It wa 3 principally by the turnkeys and gendarmes , that these rumours were spread amongst the prisoners ; the cruel wretches thus making a cynical game of the agonies and hopes of the unfortunates Thev never failed to add that , if the insurrection gained ground towards Pans , they would commence , in order to have their hands free by m » Ung away with all the prisoners .

I went before the : tribunal , but with no guarantee of any kind . I did not know neither ray accusers nor mf witnesses ; even their verynames were strange to me . I never heard the voice of the man they entitled my defender . After a constitute much like all those I had sustained mmy prison , I was sent back to my dungeon long before any discussion . Consequently what could I tell about my trial ? Ignorant ot proof * , scarcely aware of the accusation , I cou-a out venture supposition . NotBi thstanding .

I produced that declaration before the tribunal . ,, The notion of this single fact is sufficient to me to think as false many otliers which unfortunately I cannot present in all tneir evidence for want of proofs me to see my family , hnt ntihewesence of ienoble spies , wlm were

Take advantage of fine weather to eradicate such weeds as have sprung up during the last rains , and which the wet state of the ground has allowed tune to grow . The present state of the have atmosphere is likely to bring on various forms of mildew . We seen two or three cases of disease among the potatoes ; and gar . den and field beans are in many places partially destroyed by blight . Directly ground cau be got in readiness , the _ main crop of broccoli , Brussels sprouts , and winter greens of all kinds should be planted , - if the weather is dry ; only partially fill 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 last 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 he slightly filled up , but not sufficiently to prevent their taking goodsoakings of water in dry weather . Asparagus and seakale , making rapid growth , will be benefited by a good sprinkling of salt , and frequent soakings of liquid manure . To have fine crowns next spring , attention to these matters should be paid to them now . We generally sprinkle a little salt along the celery trendies before earthing them up ; it both kills slugs and worm 3 , and accelerates toe growth of the plants . Plant out a good supply ' of endive , and make farther sowings . Continue the regular 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 .

      HABDY . FBDIT GABDEN . Birdsbave of late years become so numerous , that it requires netting in abundance to ( reserve fruit from their ravages . Ae the fruit is gathered the earlier cherries remove the netting , which may serve for protecting later crop 3 . If there are any traces of fly on the trees , let them be again well washed with the engine . Look over the peaches and nectarines , and in tying la the young wood see that the 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 required for fruiting , are the principal thugs to be attended to in this department .

      FLOWEB GABDFN AND SHBOBBEBT . A complete stirring of the flower garden beds , to break up the hard crusty surface , cansed by the late heavy rains , should be made before the plants get much larger . Proceed with peggiDg down , or tying growing plants as they advance , till they occupy their allotted space , when more freedom may be allowed them , but even then , in well-arranged flower gardens , each bed should ba perfectly symmetrical as a whole , although forming only part of the general design ; remove weeds as they appear , and pay the greatest attention to neatness ana order , without which the richest display of flowers looks unsatisfactory . Advantage should be taken of examining the walks during heavy rains , to sea the drains are sufficient to carry off the water , and additional drains ana grate 3 put down where necessary . In addition to the plants named last week for ornamental garden hedges , we strongly recominena Cupressus Goveniana for embellishing ; architectural gardens ; it appears to hear 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 ike ' y to supersede the upright Cypress ana Irish yew , being , as we lUiuk , hardier than the former , ana of quicker growth than the tatter . —Gardener ' s Chronicle .

      A Eiud Twesiy Feet Hioh . —JJot many years ago a sailor presented at the British Museum a huge marrowbone , which he desired to sell , and which he had brought from Sow Z-jaland . The officers of that institution not usually dealing in that class of marine stores , referred him to the College of Surgeons , where they said he would find a gentleman—one Prof . Owen—who had a veiaavkaWo predilection for old bones . Accordingly , the sailor took his treasure to the professor ; who , finding it unlike any bone even he had any knowledge of , sent the man away rejoicin" with a full pocket—rej . icing himself in the acquisition of \ new subject for scientific inquiry . Although the bone had manifestly contained marrow , and was , therefore , unlike the bones of birds in general , Mr . Owen concluded from certain structural evidences , that this bone had belonged to a bird and bird of hitherto ' ¦ ; I [ ¦

      a » species unknown . Those who have ever experienced the flutter which the clue to any discovery of a scientilc character . occasions , will at once understand the excitement which was felt by the little world of naturalists to whom the professor displayed his new bone It was immediately figured and lithographed , and copies ' with certain instructions for finding other such bones ' were sent out to Xevr Zealand , to be- distributed wherever Europeans had trod among the ferns of that colony . Years passed . By and by a very L-Ljfcox arrived in Lincoln ' s- nn-Selds , London , containing congeners of the sailor ' s marrowbone , some of them Tin wayds of a yard long . Professor Owen set to work , and built up from these bones , not one , but five ( ultimately eleven ) distinct species of an extinct animal hitherto utterlv ' ; ¦ - ; > '

      unknown to natural history . It must have been unable to fly ( hence the marrow instead of air , in the bones ) and must have had uncommon pedestrian powers ( hence the necessity for marrow ) . The structure of the beak and neck , indicates that its power of wrenching and grubbine * up roots must have been tremendous . Its food was fern roots , which , in New Zealand ; are so farinaceous that the natives make bread of them to this day . It has been named the dworms , because it is the most stupendous of birds { dmois , fearfully great , ornis , bird ) . The disappearance of the dmornis is easil y accounted . When the progenitors of the present native tribe first landed from the South Sea , the dinornia must have been their onlanimal j 3 1 I a » •

      y food ; for m New Zealand no quadrupeds are indigenous . As it took no longer than a century for the Dutch to extirpate the dodo from the Mauritius , a couple of centuries would have quite suffioed to kill and cook the dinornis off the face of New Zealand . When these birds had been all eaten up the Maoris took to killing and cooking one another . The nest great zoological excitement to be looked for is a real live dmorms . If one of these gigantic birds be ever found and brought to the Regent ' s Park , the hippopotamus may accept the Chiltern Eundreds , and retire from the repr < sentation of the Nile , disgusted at the lead that will be taken by the hon . member from New Zealand . —Dickens ' s Household Word } .

      THE THE ATRES .

      SADLER'S WELLS The operatic performances at this theatre at present arc exceedtogly good , and deservedly successful . The Freischutz ' was produce i for tho first time ou Saturday evening in a manner which would have done no discredit to a regular musical theatre . The arrangemen 8 , of course , are on a scale corresponding to the small size of the house ; but they are , as might be expected from the able and experienced musical director , Mr . German Heed , judicious aud satisfactory . Tho orchestra consists of good performers on their respective instruments ; they play in good tune , go well together , and show careful discipline . The principal characters were well sustained by Miss Louisa l ' yne , Mr . Harrison , Miss Isaacs , and Mr . Whitivorth . The minor parts were fairl y supported , and the opera , as a whole , was an extremely pleasing entertainment . It was followed by a one act piece , called 'The Chameleon , ' an adaptation , by Mr . Brough , of a trench piece produced this season at the St . James ' s Theatre , and in which the principal character was performed by Mademoiselle Dt-jazet . That versatile actress played the part of a young nobleman , n Parisian roue , who , having a , lawsuit pending at Vienna , visits in succession three Aulio Coun . cillors , who are to be his judges , and gains their favour by adopting their foibles . One is a pedantic hookworm , another is a sporting squire , and the third is lvin peuked 1 > j his wife , who is a dragon of virtue . The young spark gains the pedant ' s heart by pedantry more extravagant than his own ; heats the sportsman in hunting , slang , joviality , and drinking ; and charms tho virtuous lady by a semblance of innocence and simplicity . All this , in the performance of Mr . trough's adaptation , was done by Miss P . llorton , whose assumption of tho various characters was remarkably clever , hut in a totally different style from that of Dt-jazet—being bold , broad , and without those nice strokes of heart for which the French actress is so distinguished . It waa very amusing nevertheless , and kept the audience in roars of laughter .

      DRUIIY LANE . On Monday night this theatre was crowded to the roof by an audience congregated for the ' benefit' of Mr . Allcroft , whose musical , and other services , in various shapes , have secured a special ' public' of his own , and annually ready to recognise ins merits . Tlu re were , no doubt , more than the friends of Mr . AHcroft present that night ; for the bill for tho evening contested favourably with the programmes of the olher theatres , and so varied an attraction had a proper effect . There were two disappointments . Mr . Sims Reeves and Mdlle . Favanti , operatically , and Mr . C . Maihews and Madame Yestm , dramatically , were to have been the stars of the heterogeneous and exceptional company ;' but it so happened that both the ladies fell sick and were unable to appear . The audience however , was good natured and bore both catastrophes with patience : all tho greater , that in addition to singing ' Elvrao , ' through the 'Sonnamfeula , ' Mr . Sims Rteve 3 gave his favourite scena from ' Luck di Lauunennoor ; ' and that Mr . C . Mathews substituted for the good farce of ' Delicate Ground ' { in which Madame Vcstris was to have played Pauline ) the better farce of ' Taken by S . orm , ' in ivhich all the business is done by himself . In the ' Sonnambula' Madame Clara Novello was the Amina , her i epresentation of that character being evidently a novelty to the miscellaneous audience , and producing most irregular plaudits aid unbounded satisfaction . Mr , Reeves , as if excited by treading the boards on which ho made his first English repvesentatisn , sang better than we ever bfifore heard him sing ; and , notwithstanding all the disadvantages of introducing between two comjc dramas a scena like that from t e ' Lucia , ' his magnificent singing of wailing music of Edgardo resulted in as great nn effect as could ba witnessed on the more proper occasions ^ when the opera has been given as a whole , and when the previous acts have prepared an audience sympathetically for the md finale . The lengthy bill concluded with ' The Ringdoves , ' a Lyceum play , suited to an evening on which the cream o £ the Lyceum company , in honour of Mr . Allcroft , was collecte 1 . The Mooney of Mr , Basil Buker was a piece of acting well worthy of notice .

      The Late Thunderstorm . —Accounts from the West Of England state that considerable damage was done by the thunderstorm of Monday last , which it seems , for the time it lasted , was almost unexampled in violence . A large quantity of hay has been spoilt and the corn crops are laid in many place ? , and potatoes have been actually worked out of the soil . Three cottages at Bishop ' s Hull were struck by tbe electric fluid , and totally consumed in a short space of time . The property , which belonged to Mr . Browne , of Stepswater , was insured for £ 400 , which will nearly cover tho loss . The storm also destroyed & fine cow in Cairn ' s-field , belonging to Mr . Robert England , which was killed by the electric fluid . An aerolite during the storm of thunder , lightning , and rain struck the house occupied by Mr . Graham , near Tairwater , doing considerable damage to the interior of the premises . The electric fluid passed through the apartment , and took a direction close by the chair in which a minute before Mr . Graham had been sitting . It shuttered a handsome eight day bracket clock , decomposing the brass ornaments outside , and considerably damaging the inside works , the minute and hour hands stopping at half-past nine . The marble chimney-piece was shattered , and the electric current passing through tho house took a direction downwards , and penetrated the adjoining field , where it is supposed the aerolite is lodged . A fine tree was riven by the lightning at Eastbrok Trull . A horse was killed and another much injured at Pondi 3 ford . A boy riding on horseback at Bishop ' s Hull was thrown off and had his arm broken , Leoal Thieves . —A few days ago , J . T . Russell , a solicitor , was committed to Horsomonger-lane Gaol , on a charge of obtaining money on false pretences . It appeared that some time ago Russell obtained a sum of money from tho proprietor of one of tbe stands at Epsom races , by representing himself as tho agent of a gentleman who had been injured by the falling of the stand about two yeai-3 ago .
