BRITISH TRADE AND MANUFACTURES.-Since our last Report, public credit has rather increased than otherwise, owing to the property shewn by individuals, sufficient to pay all demands on them, notwithstanding the oppression of bankers in limiting their discounts; and we hope to see bankruptcies less frequent, where payments are obliged re se suspended from such causes as at present exist. The manufactures of Birmingham, Shetheld, Manchester, &c. &c. have been much on the decline, from a want of foreign markets to receive them; and the late imports from the West Indies of colonial produce, come to a very flet market here for the same reason that export to the continent of Europe is completely done away, Owing to the abundant harvest, our distillers are again anxious to distil rom corn; on this subject a very good treatise has lately been published at Liverpool, by William Dixon, jun. and sold by Longman and Co. London; and Constable and Co. Edinburgh; &c. &c. The linen market in Ireland, has experienced a most salutary advance in prices, from the great demand for the article for the United States, and large quantities have been lately purchased for South America.

WE proceed to give some further account of the new edition of the HORTUS KEWENSIS, as promised in our last Report; since which we have seen, with much pleasure, an essay upon the natural order of the Scitamince, by Dr. Roxburgh, printed at Calcutta. The doctor has for the most part adopted the genera of Mr. Roscoe, but from his long residence in the East Indies, and his situation in the Company's botanic garden, he has had a much greater opportuninity of examining numerous species of these plants in a living state, than could possibly fall to the lot of any botanist resident in Europe. He has of course availed himself of these opportunities in making some corrections and many additions to Mr. Ro-coe's essay. For want of the plates, however, with which this work is to be illustrated, but which are not yet arrived, we cannot at present make any critical examination of it. But to return to the Hortus Kewensis. We observe in referring to the Botanical Magazine, the author has been careful to distinguish, by his mode of quoting that work, between the original work, as published by Mr. Curtis himself, and its continuation by his successors. In the former case the work is always quoted Curtis Magaz. in the latter, Botan. Magaz. [In the explanation of Botan. Magas, in the list of books quoted, we observe a trifling error, James instead of John Sims, which ought however to be corrected, as both names occur in the list of London physicians. J. Bellenden Ker is very properly added within a parenthesis, as one of the authors of this work, for though his name does not occur in the title-page, very nearly half of the articles are from his pen, and are marked with the letter G., Gawler being his same at the time he commenced writing in the magazine.] When any new name or specific character is adopted into the Hortus Kewensis from the Botanical Magazine, the names of Ker or Sims are added. We observe littl· new in the class Diandria except the addition of new species, the specifie characters of which are for the most part taken from Wildenow, Vahl, &c. without alteration, We were rather surprized to observe that the number of species of Veronica is just the same (37) as in the prior edition. In Justicia the species are increased from 9 to 28; in Zizephora from 3 to 6; Salvia rom 42 to 59; Piper from 5 to 17; Valeriana from 12 to 19. In the class Tri-ndria much interesting and new matter occurs. This class contains the principal part of the natural order of Ensetæ, a family that has been much studied by Mr. Bellenden Ker, and explained at considerable length in the Annals of Botany; and the species ore fully described in the Botanical Magazine. Mr. Dryander has adopted the whole of Mr. Ker's genera, but the characters of the latter being prolix in the extreme, not formed at all in the concise manner of Linnæus, and rather descriptions than definitions, he has, in a masterly manner, framed new generic and specific characters upon the Linnæan plan; certainly with sufficient brevity, yet, as far as we have had an opportunity of examining, adequate to the task of distinguishing the known species. one from another. The discovery of additional species may indeed hereafter render these definitions inefficient; for it is impossible to frame perfect characters till all the species are: known, the discovery of a new species possessing the same characters as used in the definition › of one already known, yet different from it, will of course make it necessary to alter the specific phrase of the latter so as to exclude the new found species also. In this class many of the genera have received a great addition of species since the prior edition. Crocus, which in that had only two varieties, in this contains nine species, of which six flower in the spring, and three in the autumn. Ixia, being divided into several new genera, viz. Trichonema, Geissorhiza, Hesperantha, Sparaxis, Anomatheca, Tritonia, Babiana, Lapey ronsia, Pardanthus, and Ixia Proper, is reduced in the latter from 18 to 13 species, but increased on the whole to 52. Gladiolus is increased from 10 to 23 species, though some of the former : are removed to other genera. There are ten species of Watsonia, a genus originally framed by Miller, and established by Ker, most of which were before referred to Gladiolus or Ixia. Morea and Iris have undergone a new arrangement by Mr. Ker, which is generally followed here, and twenty species are added to the two genera. In Marica Mr. Dryander has deviated from Mr. Ker, the species enumerated by the former are only Nortbiana, martinicensit, and palu. dosa; plicata, striata, and californica of the latter, are probably reserved to be subjoined to Sisyrinchium, a genus according to Ker not to be, distinguished from Marica, but arranged in the Linnæan system under Gynandria triandria. It will be evident from the above short account that much new matter occurs in Triandria Monogynia, and the whole appears to have been very Carefully got up by the author, and will we doubt not be highly acceptable to botanists ingeneral, abroad as well as at home. In the same class are the natural orders of Cyperoidea and Gramineæ. Amongst the former we observe that Vahl's new genus of Rhyncospora is adopted, which includes Schoenus albus. and fuscus, of Linnæus. Many new species are added to most of the genera in both orders. In the class Tetrandria occurs such part of the natural order of Proteace as have herinaphrodite flowers; the Linnæan system unfortunately demands the separation of this family: those genera which have monoecious or dioecious flowers are of course postponed to the classes Monccia and Diaecia. In this order Mr. Dryander has entirely followed Mr. Brown's essay on the Proteace in the 10th volume of the Transactions of the Linnean Society, with scarcely any alteration, further than that the term corolle is adopted for the calyx of Mr. Brown and Jussieu, and here and there a superfluous word is omitted. Undoubtedly our author could not have followed a better guide than Mr. Brown, whose knowledge of the proteased is greater than that of any man: yet we cannot but feel a wish that Mr. Dryander had undertaken to revise the specific characters, and given them more of the Linnean terseness and precision. We acknowledge that the task would be difficult, for in a perfectly natural order, where the species of a genus are numerous, the difference is frequently marked rather by a number of points of slight deviation, than by any striking feature; nevertheless, though net easy to be accomplished, we do think that had he undertaken it, all obstacles would have been surmounted by his abilities. To show how great a number of new plants of this family have of late years been introduced into this country, we need only observe that the former edition of the work under review contained only twenty-four species, whereas the new one contains one hundred and fourteen, divided into seventeen genera; though a considerable proportion of the family are de ferred to a future part. With the generic characters of Mr. Brown more liberty has been taken; all of them have undergone a revision. To show the mode in which this is done we shall transcribe that of Protea, as given by both authors. By Brown. Calyx bipartibilis inæqualis, labi: latioris laminis staminiferis cohærentibus. Stylus subulatus. Stigma angustius, cylindraceum. Nux undique barbata, stylo persistenti caudata. Receptaculum commune paleis abbreviatis persistentious. Involucrum imbricatum persistens.-By Dryander. Petala quatuor, quorum tria superne cohærentia. Anthera apicibus concavis corollæ immersæ. Nus supera, undique barbata, stylo persistente coronata. In the remainder of the class Tetrandria we observe that the specific characters are in ge neral the same as in Willdenow, except in a few species not found in that author; three or four in the genus Pothos, and the whole of Struthiols, for which new specific phrases have Been framed. In Pentandria Monogynia, (not yet finished, as the volume ends with Strychnos), there is a number of this species enumerated, which have heen introduced since the former edition; in most of these the specific characters of Wildenow are followed. The only deviations we have observed are as follow: Cynoglossum sylvaticum is adopted from Dr. Smith; Echium grandiflorum from Ventenat;, E. parviflorum from Roth; Symphytum asperrimum, and Onosina taurica, from Sinis; Echium fas |
