ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. The first "great exhibition" d flowers for the p r ivet season under the auspices of this society took plies yesterday in the International Banding et South Basing tos. As a matter of course the society's grounds were thrown open for the occasion, and the communication be tween the gardens and the building was preserved in inch a manner ae to enhance, in a considerable degree, the ittractione of the promenade. One perceptible advantage D this exhibition over many others which have preceded t here and elsewhere, was to be found in the fact that the wommodation afforded to the visitors gave ample space aid verge enough for rapidly increasing numbers, without the least danger of exposing them to the chance of being overcrowded. From one to tire o'clock the company con tinued to arrive, and all the arrangement& which had been completed for their delectation being seen under a favouring sun, the result was tech as must have satisfied even the misgivings of the most ' anixoualy-disposed in regard to fates which depend upon fur weather for their swum Every charm which the decorative art (as applied to human nature) could bestow in rendering the living ornaments of the exhibition more con spicuous in their attractions than the flowers themselves was succusfally resorted to, and the result was such as to lead to the inevitable conclusion that each fair lady present had resolved to have around her the brightest coke= that could be displayed in convenient harmony. To descant upon the varied beauties of the drosses, in rivalry with those of the flowers, would be to repeat a story which has already been to:, often told, even daring the present season, Sufßoe it that the "show," whether as regarded the ex qui*te collection of flowers, the elegance of the costumes, or the genial temperature of the weather, was one of the most successful which has ever been witnessed in the gardens of the Horticultural Society, and the patrons of that institution may fairly be congratulated upon being associated in so inspiriting and agreeable a gathering. Rather than make particular allusion to any one of the exhibitors, it is better that the admirers of these floral displays should form their conclusions from the award of the judges, which we subjoin, premising, however, that the azaleas aed pelar goniums never before shone in richer or more bountiful luxuriance, and that among the most prominent prize. holders were Mr. C. Turner, of Slough, and Mears. J. and T. Feuer, of Lea-bridge-road. - - - - THE GENERAL POST-OFFICE DURING 1862. This morning, the ninth annual report of the Postmaster-G*onel, being that for the year 1862, was Wised. A few of the facia mentioned by his lordship are as follows :—lt seems that the whole number of public receptacle@ for letters is now 14,776, u compared with 14,354 last year, and with little more than 4,500 before the establiahmeat of the penny postage. Day mails are in awing in number ; postal communication between pro vincial towns is more frequent ; and an aeoeleratioe of vari ous mails has taken place. Travelling wet-offices, which ire now in use on most of the railways, are found of material service. The number of letters delivered in England in 7,1862, was 497,000,000 being an increase of 2 1 per cent. on the number in 1861, and being a proportion 0124 letters to each person. ,In Ireland the letter delivered were 51,000,000, being an increase of 2 per cent., and in the pro. portion of 9 to each person. In Scotland 57,000,000 letters were delivered, being an increase of per cent, and a proportion of 19 to each person. Compared with 1861, the total shows an increase of 12,000,000. In the London d i strict alone the number of letters is now nearly double that which, before the adoption of the penny postage, was delivered in the whole of the United Kingdom, London included. There is an immense montane, it seems, in the cumber of twisted cir culars which are posted. In relation to the Lambeth elec tion there were as many as 40,000 circular, posted in a tingle day. Newly half a million letters pared through the temporary pon-office in the International Exhibition. The number of registered letters mend through the London ofiloe has increased by 37 per cent, while there hue been a great diminution in applications for miming letters contain ing coin. The regulation regarding the compulsory regis tration is proposed to be extended from London to other parts of the country. The number of aewepapera delivered last year was nearly 73,000,000, which is about half a million more than that in the previous yes; sad the number of book-pickets was rather mere than 14,000,000, or an bonnie of nearly 14 per cent The old pennies of sending valentines is more extensive than ever. There was an increase last year in the amount of money which passed through the Money Order-office of mote than 1,000,0001. sterling. The (moralities of the Poet aloe Navin.' beaks have been highly satisfactory, shoat 180,000 depositors having opened seaman in them during the year 1882. Out of the whole number which were open at the end of 1862, wanly 2,532, only 76 had failed to ob. Wood depositors. Since the beginning of the present year 332 additional banks have been opened, and the gross amount of deposits, including interest, up to the let of January has increased to 2,952,2961. It teems that in each division of the United Kingdom the Pod-office banks, as might have been expected, have obbdaid a larger proportion of email depositors than the old beaks have been able to attract Use has been made el the Peetelbee savings bank@ by 1,010 friendly anisties, 642 provident and charitable societiee, and 82 penny banks. A sum amounting to more than 340,0004 bee been transferred from the old savinp banks to the Postoffies ones by means of treader certificates. Eight pages d the report are devoted to the subject of foreign and oolocial pa da The total number of steamships employed in the packet 'orrice, exclusive of tenders, ke., is 96, with an segregate of 140,000 toss, and of 36,000 horse power. Without counting home services, the voyages performed by the mail packets during the year were equal in the aggregate to more than 3,000,000 miles The most diatant point to which mail" are conveyed by British packet is A ockland, New Zealand, about 15,000 statute miles from Southampton ; the nearest is Dalai'. 26 miles from Dever. The excess of time when the pickets were too late was often a few hours only, sometimes only a few minutes. Several Ignatius occurred of remarkable puctuality is the deriver, of mail, conveyed over great dim- Moms, seen when such punctuality was dependent on picket' arriving at • point of junction by different routes, sod some of these instances are given in the report. The number of officers at the end of 1862 was 25,380, which is nearly a hundred Ism than the number • year ago, owing chiefly to the substitution of reed letter-boxes foe small post-offices. The general Math of the large body of men in the London offices has been very good. The average mortality of the effective force it under 1 per omit Dr. Lewis, the principal medial Meer of the department, is of opinion that on the strong and healthy railway travelling, if the amount be not mots. live, and if the travellers take moderate care of them selves, produces little or no injurious effect ; and he points to the sanitary statistic of last year in confirmation of this view, the sickness and mor tality having been about the same among the °Bloom em ployed on the railways as among the other officers. Very . few losses of late yams have occurred in the Post-office department from defalcation. The Postmaster. General mentions an interesting case of restitution : " More than twenty years ago, • postmaster, who owed the office more than 2,0001., but who had given security for only tart of that suer, absoonded, leaving an unpaid debt of up •ards of 1,0001. The recovery of this debt had long been imarded as hopeless, but • short time ago • letter was un erreckdly received from the motels/tees mu *ricksha( a runittanos in payment of part of his f►ther's debt, and ex pressing a hope that after • time he should be able to pay tie remainder; a hope which was soon realised, every farthing of the debt having now been discharged, in • mea -1 tier most creditable to the gentleman coneerned." THE MACL4CHLAN CASE. This morning the papers obtained by Mr. Stirling, ILP., with newt to this owe were Weed. They include the trial of Mrs. Maoln:blau, at the Glasgow Criminal Court ; the statements al vitamin taken by the presenter bad bakes the sheriff rel►tive to the preparation of the pri soner's statement; notes of the statements of witnesses exa mined before George Toon, Esq., advocate ; witnesses who were examined by the procurator lineal before the abseil ; their statements, furnished to Mr. Yang, althea,* they I were not reeransieed by him ; and, lastly, a letter frees Mr. Young to the Horne Secretary, explaining the mum to which the evidence given before him was taken.

When such last-mentioned arrears of interest shall have been liquidated, the company are to receive, oat of the heLmca of such profits from irrigation remaining after pay ment ci 5 per cent upon the whole capital, a sum sufficient to »preset • further 7 per cent. upon such capital, and snaking,: with the previous 5 per cent., 12 per cent. thereon.

The price of issue is 480 francs, and the bonds are redeemable at 500 francs in 14 years by half-yearly drawings.

In the foreign stock market attention was chiefly directed to the commencement of the settlement. The recent rise in the rate of discount having checked the current of speculation, and in duced many weakly holders to sell, thereby causing a reduction in the amount of the out standing speculation, the terms for loans have been lees onerous than at the last settlement, averaging on many of the more speculative descriptions about 7 per cent. The market for bank shares was rather flat, a slight redaction taking place in British and Amen can Exchange, English and Irish, London and Middlesex, National Bank of Liverpool, London and Brazilian, and Standard Bank of Africa.

THE LAST DAVI or ♦ BrattY.—Of the early part of George the Third's reign there were not two beauties who painted, patched, and powdered more, or who Deeded it lees, than /Ira Hobert and Lady Coventry ; the former, all in game and spangles, " like a spangled pud ding," as a due gentleman remarked ; the latter, in a light blue dress, covered with round spot' of silver, which made bee look, according to George Selwyn. like " &sage for a guinea." Poor Lady Coventry ! As keg as paint could deceive her, she was slow to believe is con sumption; bat when the tswrible truth forced Ralf upon her, she lay, all unpainted sad anpowlered, gazing into a pocket-glass till she could bear no longer to contem plate the brWriornp of the wreck of herself. Nor would she offer that melancholy spectacle to the sympathy or indifference of others. She pined from coach and pocket mirror to bed sod closed curtains ; and with no other light than that of a spirit-lamp beneath a kettle in her room, she received visitors and the ministrations of her servants, never doing more than remain bee small hand between the curtains which hid for ever the living pale face of the ono* I supreme beauty.—Corraill Magazine for June. - IN/ 101 VI SO iss IN - 141 - lii i
