Accidents at Sea. — A letter has been forwarded to W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary at Lloyds', proposing the use of the following signals: — In cases of men being washed overboard, it generally happens that there is a very heavy sea running; and the boats are unable to see the position of the man ; but from the ship the man may be distinctly seen, they can inform the boat's crew how to steer. \i to steer steady, show a white flag; if to pull to port, a blue flag; if to starboard, a red flag. The above useful signals are being introduced into the Royal Navy, and their usefulness fully proved. The Screw Victorious. — In the trial between the Rattler and Alecto, the most conclusive results as to the screw superiority were proved, when the vessels being fastened to each other, and their heads put in opposite directions, the Rattler towed the Alecto, in spite of all her attempts to run away astern, at the rate of two miles and a half an hour.

Calendar for Octodf.r. — Sow French beans, also Peas for succession, early Turnip, Radish and other Salad seeds. Transplant Lettuce, Cabbage, Cauliflower, &c, also annual flowers that have been sown iv beds. Sow Rock& watermelons, cucumber, and pumpkins. Keep the garden clear of all weeds, . c o as to prevent them from shedding seed, also cabbage and otlicr brasica, before coming into flower, as the flower contaminates those species which are grown for seed. The earlier barley is sown the better. Sow maize, plant potatoes. Plough ground as is cleared.
