\»in appear next week. With regard to tlie subject on 

 which ' A Delver' writes, we always aim to be just and 

 impartial ; but his cointnunicalion shows so nuicli personal 

 feeling and xuiinosity tliat we cannot insert it. We have 

 no relish for the bitter controversy to which iLs publication 

 would inevitably lead.

 assisted by the selection and judgment of an eminent 

 breeder in this vicinity. Fruit Trees, Grape Vines, 

 Shrubbery, &c., will be obtained at any Establishment 

 named by the person or^iering ; and if no Establishment 

 be named, the subscriber will obtain them from such as 

 he shall have most confidence in — in the latter case, he 

 will be responsible for the genuineness of the articles : 

 in the former, the risk will remain with the pui-chaser.
