John Warner & Sons having been practical Horticulturists 

 for many years, know exactly the requirements of both Amateurs 

 and Gardeners. A gardener with a properly construct* d pump 

 will get through as much work in five minutes as he could with 

 any Syringe in a quarter of an hour, and with half the labour to 

 himself. Syringes are economical for small houses. 



No establishment offers such a variety of effective machines for 

 hydraulic purposes, whether to supply Gardens, Hothouses, 

 Cottages, Farms, Mansions, or Boards of Health, with every re- 

 quisite connected with the conveyance and distribution of liquids.

found from its durability and cheapness of the greatest 

 utility for Painting Hurdles, Wire-work, Paling*, Gates, Fences, 

 &c, and out-door work of every description, whether of Wood or 

 Iron. Its value has been proved by the test of time. It should 

 be well stjrred up before using and applied cold. This Varnish 

 will retain its quality for any length ot time, provided the cask 

 be kept closed.

1854, 



oifolk, Suf- 

 folk, Berks, Worcester, Brecknock, Salop, Denbigh, 

 and York (West Riding), by the union clerks, 

 relieving officers, and other agencies under the 

 superintendence of the Poor-law Inspectors in those 

 counties, has resulted in the publication of a blue 

 book in May, 1855, containing information of a 

 very imperfect, and, tnerefore, unsatisfactory 



character. It appears that of 570.000 schedules 

 issued to occupiers, barely 450,000 have been 

 returned with the information asked ; and of the 

 remainder no fewer than 40,000 remain altogether 

 unaccounted for, 82,000 having been filled up by the 

 enumerators with information obfainedindependently 

 ofthe tenants concerned. Thecountiesof Berks(where 

 of 4300 schedules issued 1800 were returned blank) 

 and of Hants (refusing in upwards o£ 30 per cent, 

 of its tenancies) are noteworthy as indicating the 

 unpopularity of the proceeding : while Norfolk and 

 the Welsh counties are remarkable for the complete- 

 ness of their returns. The general impression on the 

 minds of those who have superintended the experiment 

 is, that the machinery employed is unsuitable, and 

 that the voluntary plan of obtaining the information 



ful. The one view 



required is necessarily 



is illustrated in the cases in which boards of guar- 

 dians have declined to undertake the labour proposed 

 to them, and the other in the large number of refusals 

 met with from individual tenants. The rf ports of 

 the inspectors contain embodied in them extracts 

 from numerous letters by tenant farmers and others, 

 giving the grounds on which the ill success of the 

 experiment is believed by the writers to rest, and
