FRUIT-GARDEN AND ORCHARD.--Finish those things which may have been omitted the previous month. If the weather continues open, digging and plowing may be done advantageously. Perform any work that may tend to forward your business in the spring.
FLOWER-GARDEN AND PLEASURE-GROUNDS.--Continue to protect your beds of bulbs, and also flower-beds and shrubs as directed in last month. Should the weather continue open in the early part of this month, bulbs may still be planted. They should not be left as late as this, but if such has been the case, they had better be planted now than left until spring. Now carefully protect seedling bulbs. The more tender kinds of trees can have their roots protected from frost by laying manure or long litter about them.
BY the steamship Caledonia, we are favored by the receipt of our European journals up to the 4th November.
MARKETS.--_Ashes_, both pots and pearls, have advanced, and were brisk of sale. _Cotton_ had declined 1/8d. per lb. The recent advices from Bombay and Calcutta of the East India crop, were not quite so favorable. The stock of Cotton on hand at Liverpool on the 1st November, was 720,000 bales, against 520,000 at same period last season. _Flour_ was flat, and little doing in it. _Naval Stores_, declining. _Provisions_ were about the same as by our last advices, with the exception of Cheese, the finer qualities of which were of quick sale. _Tobacco_, steady and firm.
_Money_ still plenty, and the low rates of interest prevail.
_American Stocks_ continue nearly the same as at our last. Very few recent transactions.
_Agricultural School._--We see by the Berwick Warder, that an Agricultural School is established in Aberdeenshire, by the practical farmers of that county, which promises to be a very useful institution. It is superintended by Mr. R. O. Young, and we like its arrangements better than anything of the kind we have yet seen. To explain these, we make a few quotations from the prospectus.
The young gentlemen who may be intrusted to Mr. Young's charge for the purpose of being instructed in the principles and practice of Scottish agriculture, will have daily opportunities of witnessing the regular routine of farming operations going on at the farm, and of taking an active part in these operations.
