The total emigration from Liverpool for all foreign ports, 
Including the departures by short ships, or those which have 
not come under Government inspection, during the quarter 
ended June 30, was 84,230, as compared with 74,641 in the 
corresponding quarter of last year, showing an increase in the

Emigration to Australia. — Plymouth, July 6. — 
The Columbus, of 454 tons register, Captain Smith, belonging 
to Mr. John Timperley, embarked from the Government 
depot here — her complement of emigrants, numbering 182 
Mills, equal to 169 statute adults — on Monday, and sailed for 
her destination, Hobart Town, on Tuesday morning at six 
o'clock. Great pains have been taken by her owners to make 
the ship's appointments complete. The emigrants are under 
charge of Dr. Honaldson. The following ships, chartered by 
Her Majesty’s Emigration Commissioners, are appointed

FOREIGN MISCELLANY. 
Duelling in America. — A duel was fought on the 3rd 
of June, in Mlssisippi, near the Alabama Stato line, between 
General J. C. Saunders, of Alabama, and Judge Evans, of 
Miseisippi. Five shots were exchanged, and both parties were 
wounded, Judge Evans dangerously. The difficulty arose 
from some harsh language used by Saunders, in reply to an 
address delivered by Evuns before the Literary Society of the 
Western Military College in Alabama. Mr. Schlessinger, 
who had been engaged in a mock duel at New Orleans, wus 
shot dead by S. G. Ladd, during a dispute about the affair. 
The fact of five shots being exchanged between Messrs. 
Saunders and Evans may be regarded by some as an indication 
of great courage, but the experience of duellists is to tho 
contrary. The prolongation of the affair betrays nervousness 
on the part of one of the combatants at lea6t. At best it is 
but a lamentable instanco of Young American savageness, in 
every way at variance with tho true spirit of the code. What 
can bo more shocking than the spectacle of two respect- 
able citizens taking five shots at each other ? — New York 
Herald. 
The Riff Pirates, Coast of Morocco. — The follow- 
ing is an extract from a letter, dated Gibraltar, the 24th 
of June, and has reference to the recent capture of the 
British brig Cuthbert Young, Marshall master, bound 
from Malta for England, which, iu consequence of a con- 
tinued culm, was set by the current within ten miles of the 
Riff coast, where she was fired upon by piratical boats and 
seized. The crew effected their escape, but the vessel still 
remains in the hands of the pirates, and it appears that the 
Governor of Gibraltar, on application being made to him 
for assistance in order to recover the vessel, has acknow- 
ledged that he is unable to give it : — “ It is much to be 
regretted that our Government do not take some effectual 
steps to make the Emperor of Morocco responsible for the 
acts of these lawless aud incorrigible portion of his subjects, 
aud, until the matter is taken up in that form, it is to be 
feared that the commercial vessels of all nations trading to 
the Mediterranean will never be safe from the attacks of 
these maruaders, when it may be their misfortune to be 
found near to that barbarous coast. It has been found re- 
peatedly that no effectual chastisement can be inflicted on 
the sea-side, and the general opinion is, that the only effec- 
tual way of putting some check upon these depredations 
would be, by means of a land force, which the Government 
of Morocco should be called upon to send against them." 
The naval officer at Gibraltar has suggested that masters of 
vessels should be warned from approaching the Riff coast, 
until there is some security against these maruuders. 
Constantinople, Juue 22. — Yesterday was the day on 
which t lie Sultan makes his annual visit to the mosque of 
Top-Khaneh, prior to tho Feost of Bairam, which concludes 
the laborious fast of tho RamazaD. On this night the Turks 
illuminate their shops aud houses witli small lanterns, disposed 
with an elegance which might put to shame tho efforts of 
London loyalty. The ships in the Bosphorus and the Golden 
Horn also displayed their outline in the darkness by means of 
rows of lamps carried along their entire length and up to the 
summit of their masts. The Sultan, quiet and nerveless as 
usual, went through the ceremony with becoming resignation, 
and bis people continued their rejoicings until tho dawn of 
day. Their shoots, and the barking of the ianumerable dogs, 
were sufficient to drive sleep from the eyes of all but those who 
had earned it by a day of toil. 
Feasts of all kinds are of continual occurrence. To-day 
the streets are hung with flags in honour of the processions of 
the churches of St. Antoine and tho Holy Trinity. Last 
Thursday the Fvle-Dieu took place, with a procession of 8t. 
Benedict, at Galatu. The same day the procession of the 
Church of St. Mary enlivened the streets; and on Sunday St. 
Peter at Galata aud the Si. Esprit at tho Grand Champs had 
their turn. The French mission patronize these displays with 
ill its accustomed piety.

. The Meditsrranban.— A t Tberaplo, on the Bosphorus, one 
hospital has been established since December iu a house belonging 
to tho Sultan, and men by his Majesty for the use of tho English 
need, situate near the beach, in the healthiest part of the Bosphorus, 
and having attached to it gardens and pleasure-grounds after the 
Oriental fashion. It has already 150 beds, is capable of containing 
more than 200, and is yet only regarded ns an advanced hospital', 
based on that still larger establishment at Malta. Thore is also a 
depot in the Hag-ship of extra medicines and instruments, such os 
quinine (ague is the disease of the Black Sea), chloroform, medi- 
cated wine (the vinous solution of quinine), tourniquots, Ac. And 
now with regard to the uiedicol force of tho Hoot and hospitals. 
Malta hospital has at present 50 siok, and to attend on them 1 
deputy-inspector, 1 surgeon, and 2 assistant-surgeons. Thernpiu 
hospital, 80 patients, and 1 surgeon, 1 assistant-surgeon, and 
another on his way out. The flag-ship, 1 deputy-inspector (acting) 
and 8 other medical officers. Tho rest of the fine-of-baltlo ships 
and largo frigates throe medical men each. All tho other ships 
two each, down to lieutenants' commands, all of which are pro- 
vided with one medical officer to each vessel. The Heot is nt present 
remarkably healthy. The sickness in June, including every 
triHing complaint, amounted to only throe men in the hundred. 
Health op the Bhitisu Tnoors in TcnKBY.— By a letter 
with which wo ( Medical Timex) have been favoured from Con- 
stantinople, dated Juno 15, we find that tho whole force of in- 
fantry ut Varna, Scutari, and Gallipoli is 21,803: of those, 821, 
or 34 per cent., aro on tho sick list. Tho foreo of arlillervis 2,108, 
24 per cent, only being siok. Of the small foreo of cavalry ar- 
rived up to that date, 8 per cent, wero siok, but mostly from 
slight accidents. Tho infantry force is distributed ns follows: At 
Gallipoli, 5,187, of whom 175 are sick ; at Varna, 0,005, 219 
being sick. The remainder of the force is nt Scutari. The first 
division of Gunrda and Ilighlun Jers, on oinbnrking for Vornn, left 
their sick in tho General Hospital : these are included in tho 821. 
The porter hod nrrived, and is said to be very good, and received 
as a great boon. All the medical arrangements aro now ported. 
Tea and sugor aro supplied to tho troops much cheaper than they 
con be bought in tho bazaars. 
HORTICULTURE. 
GRAND EXHIBITION AT KENILWORTH. 
On Wednesday last, several thousand persons assembled 
amidst the ruins of Keuilworth Castle, on the grounds of which 
a spacious marquee was erected, containing nil that was rare 
and beautiful in the greenhouse, nursery, and garden. The 
weather was rather changeable ; but ns the trnins became 
due, the company flocked to the old ruins— associated with 
deep historical interest. A splendid brass band was engaged, 
but owing to the train that brought them from Birmingham 
being two hours behind time, great disappointment and dis- 
satisfaction was expressed by the committee till the cause 
of their absence was explained. Everybody appeared de- 
lighted with the show, and it was admitted by all (as a whole) 
to have eclipsed anything of the kind ever attempted in the 
midland counties. The stove and greenhouse plants ex- 
hibited by Lord Leigh were particularly worthy of notice. 
The great variety and beauty of the roses fully maintained 
the reputation of that flower as a favourite of the midland 
counties. Amongst the miscellaneous collection of variegated 
flowers, a bloom of the “Crpton Picton" sent by Lord Leigh 
shone conspicuous. A “ Stanhope wardin’’ from Mr. Howes 
was greatly admired.— Fruit. Mr. W. H. Bracebi idge pro- 
duced some good pines; Mr. West, of Alscott Park, showed 
some splendid black grapes; Mr. Oliver, of Comb Abbey, 
and Mr. J. Dugdnle, of Merryvale Hull, also deserve notice. 
Lord Leigh exhibited some remarkably fine white grapes, 
as did Mr. Dugdale, Shirley, and Mr. Oliver. Peaches of 
great size and beauty were sent by Mr. Butley, of Rugby, 
Mr. Wilson, and Captain Beech, of Brandon Lodge. Nec- 
tarines of a fine growth were shown by Mr. Ncwdogutc and 
Mr. Beech. Lord Leigh showed “the only melons worth 
looking at," so said one of the judges. The strawberries 
were magnificent. Mr. Birbury, Mr. Pickard, Mr. Wheatley, 
of Kenilworth, Mr. C. Kimberley, and Mr. Batley exhibited 
plates of this delicious fruit that astonished aud surprised 
many familiar with such exhibitions. A miscellaneous col- 
lection of eight dishes were sent by Lord Leigh and Captain 
Beech. The vegetables were in great variety and abun- 
dance, and remarkably fine. The first prize from twelve 
sorts was awarded to Mr. Oliver, and Mr. Brickmore’s 
samples were not far behind the leader. 
It would be unpardonable to pass over tbe model flower 
gardens, which abounded witli Swiss cottages, statuary, foun- 
tains, and flowers of every hue, very tastefully arranged, and 
perplexing the judges. There was u model of the principal 
parterre on the teriace at Stronley Abbey, that proved highly 
attractive; but to enumerate all that was worthy of praise 
would be a long and rather tedious task. 
Tiie judges were Mr. Poole, of Packington, Mr. Pond, of 
Whately Abbey, Mr. Splnke, of Harwich, and Mr. Dunn, of 
Guy’s ClilTe, whose decision guve general satisfaction. 
The following uro the awards — honour being coveted more 
than tlio money — which altogether amounted to upwards of 
£80.

The Botanic Society — Tho third and lust /Vfti for tlm 
present season, in the gardens of this society in the Regent's 
Park, was held on Wednesday. The day could not be said 
to be very favourable for the enjoy inonL of out-door amuse- 
ments, nevertheless tho company was numerous and fashion- 
able. Among the visitors wore the Duchess of St. Alban's, 
the Duchess of Sutherland, the Marchioness of Ailoabury ; 
Ladies Enfield, C. Stirling, Do Tabley, Rokeby, ( '. Caven- 
dish, Clark, M’Fnrlnnu, Goldsmid, Potters, Bucliun, C. Bar

Mainlined Dulcp Sing, Ilunjcct Sing, &<*. The splendid

occasions this summer, arranged on the improved principle 
adopted by tho society for securing effect, and providing 
accommodation for thepromenaders beneath the continuous 
f ;ullery of marquees erected by Mr. B. Edgington, of the 
{'trough. The gold medals, which were numerous, were

attendance. 
Tine Value of a Garden. — What a diversify of food 
comes from tliogurdeti ! What a large portion of our enjoy- 
ments owe their cxlstenco to tho gardener ! It Is not only tho 
many varieties of cooked vegetables, In scasou and out, but 
our numerous kinds of salad, and tho after claims of tho 
dessert, that havo to bo traced to tho gardener ; and all those 
things, far beyond enumerating, tire the result of knowledge, 
skill, industry, and forethought. But tho nosegay in (hu vase, 
the unseen condiments In hundreds of soups and made dishes, 
ure furnished by the gardener ; und u walk into thedomain wlier 
he is king exhibits his hundiwork in every flower, plant, und 
free, that helps to fill up the picture. Tho conservatory is 
furnished with exotics from every clime, and various horticul- 
tural buildings show proof of Ida skill, and the uprising thousands 
of young plants show what his forethought bus provided, and 
is ulways providing for tho future. Yet men who can do this 
aro paid worse than ordinary mechanic*, and all their labour- 
ers receive less than common porters. — Horticultural Journal 
and Farm and Garden Advertiser. 
Hof Intelligence. — The most unfa vourablcaceounts hav» 
reached us, both from East and West Kent, and Sussex, 
since our last publication. Prices have somewhat increased, 
and the duty is called £90,000, anil in some districts much 
less. At Rochester it is named as low as £50,000. With 
favourable weather, an opinion is entertained by some plan- 
ters, that from the early period of the season £150,000 duty 
may yet be paid ; but this depends on an immediate change 
to hot sunny days and warm nights, without which the for- 
mer estimate, £60,000, cannot be realised. In many grounds 
there appears but little prospect of any hops at all, tho 
plantations have a Blackened appearance, the leaves drop- 
ping off, and in some parts of one ground, as we arc told by 
a grower, there is nothing left but bine. A correspondent 
of a contemporary from Lamberhurst, says “ Iho hops 
are worse— sir, and worse— sir.’’ Hop-planters are re- 
minded that they aro required by law to make entry ot 
their hop-grounds on or before the 1st of August, under a 
penalty of 40s. per acre. Proper forms for this purpose 
may be had, gratis, on application to the proper officers. —
