The first summer's exhibition of plants and Sowers in connexion with this society took place yester day, at the gardens, Regent's-park, and the well-known excellence of these annual displays, and the brilliancy of the weather, combined to draw together a Large and most fashionable company. The experiment of holding the show upon t►e Derby day, which was tried last year, I proved so highly successful that the council of the society decided to repeat it, and judging by the numbers who were present yesterday, the counter attractions of Epsom Downs appear in no way to interfere with the attendance of the patrons at these moat charming exhibitions. Though we can scarcely subscribe to the dictum of the gardener whom we heard emphatically lay down that 1 1 "no real ladies ever went to the Derby," yet from royalty downwards the rank and fashion of the feminine world of London certainly seemed yesterday to be gathered in and about the grounds of the Botanic Society. The plants were placed as usual in a sinks of long tents, which were the conservatory, and the arrangement was e M. ing at any enoasaist,h. view el the shale show could be ottained. The effect upon first entering WAS most striking and beautiful, every hue and colour which horticulture is capable of producing being admirably blended together. The strength of the exhibition was at once seen to consist in the large and magnificent display of azaleas and pelargoniums. In the majority of oases it is almost impossible to get them two plants to their fullest degree of perfection about the same period of the year— one is invariably a little later in arriving at its fullest poiat of beauty. The exceptional spring, however, with which we have this year been favoured seems to have proportionately advanced the growth of the pelargoniums, and the result was that a finer display of these charming flowers and of azaleas it would be impossible to bring together under a tent. During the afternoon her Royal Highness Princess Christian visited the gardens, and expressed herself highly pleased with the character of the exhibition. As the afternoon wore on, and the warmth of the sun became leas oppressive, the promenade upon the lawn outside became crowded with a gay and fashionable company, the pleasures of the day being materially heightened by the admirable manner in which the two bands—the Royal Horse Guards and the 2nd Life Guards—performed a well-selected programme of music. The show will remain open to-day ; sod, should the weather prove favourable, another large attendance may be expected. Amongst the distinguished company present during the day were the following :—Her Royal Highness the Princess Christian of Denman, the Dowager Duchess of Northumberland, the Marquis of Bristol, the Earl of Mansfield, the Countess of Westmeath, Lord and Lady Balquiers, Lord Alfred Hervey, Lord John Man ners, the Greek and Belgian Ambassadors, Miss Burdett Coutts, ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIRTY.—The great rhododendron tent in the gardens of the Royal Horticul tural Society at South Kensington was opened to the public yesterday, and, notwithstanding the fact of its being the Derby day, attracted a large and fashionable attendance of visitors. The plants this year are supplied, as usual, by Messrs. Waterer and Godfrey, the well-known nursery men, of Knap-hill, Woking, and the ground under the great tent has been entirely rearranged under the superin tendence of Mr. John Gibson, of Battenee-park, and Mr. Ryles, superintendent of the South Kensington Gardens.

Edited by the Rev. 011.31" SIIIPLCV, M.A. Longman* : 1868. There are representative books as well as repre sentative men, and the main interest of the volume before us is of this character. Like the two aerie, of essays already published under the same title, it treats of ecclesiastical and social matters from the standing point of the Anglo-catholica ; and every one who is watching with curiosity the eccentric movements of modern thought will do well to study these essays. They express, in some cases with considerable ability, and in all cases with perspicacity. the views of men who, as laymen or as priests, while professedly members of the church of England, have renounced the name of protes tants, and are anxious, both in doctrine and cere monial, to revive the faith and usages subverted at the reformation. There is, of course, much in a work like this which it would be unfitting to discuss in the columns of a newspaper. Theology proper is beyond the province of the journalist ; but there are secular subjects handled by the essayists, and there are topics partly of theological, partly of social interest which it is quite legitimate to dis cuss. The book consists of 17 essays. snd of these only three are anonymous—one on "Immoral Litera ture," another, by a mother, on the "Defects in the Moral Training of Girls," and a third entitled " The Natal Scandal," by a layman. Among the papers more distinctively illustrative of Anglo catholic aims may be mentioned the " Invocation of Saints and Angels," by the Rev. Henry Humble; " Retreats," by the Rev. T. T. Carter ; " Prayers for the Dead," by the Rev. Patrick Cheyne ; and au essay by the Rev. S. Baring Gould, on the " Origin of the Schools of Thought in the English Church," the most dogmatic, and, perhaps, the least liberal of the series. In reading the volume nothing has struck us so forcibly as the peculiar tone by which it is marked throughout. We breathe a strange and a somewhat oppressive atmosphere, and find it difficult to believe that we are conversing with living Englishmen upon English soil. Probably, if we take up " The Church and the World" after a full course of me direval theology, we might have been less struck with the quaint—shall we say the superstitious cast of thought that pervades the volume. There is so much in it from which we utterly dissent, so much that seems loose in statement and feeble in argument, so much, too, that seems to our thinking narrow-minded and credulous, that we are, per haps, unable to do justice to the more reasonable arguments of the writers. When we meet with essayists who affirm that the confessional is a most invaluable element for good in the education of the I young, that relics of the saints have proved of un- I doubted efficacy, although it may be questioned whether " touching the saint's figure with a little wool and applying it to some sore or infirmity of a petitioner would exercise the same effects"; that the saints are to be invoked, although " invocation may not be absolutely requisite for salvation" ; that priests are endowed with supernatural powers ; that intolerance is essential to protestantiam, as its basis of belief is illogical, and it has absolutely no intelligible standing-ground in the world of I thought ; and that it has become a matter of ex. perience to find among dissenters " the most de- Plorable deterioration of morals, combined with ; the loudest protestations of faith"—it is difficult to find a point of sympathy between ourselves and writers who can make statements so inaccurate and hold opinions so irrational. There is mu .1, however, in the volume of common interesting to Anglicans and Protestants. The essay on Immoral Literature" is written with an ability and good feeling to which we gladly do justice. Eliminate from the paper its peculiar theological teaching, and we h ave a su bj ec t o f I popular importance, luminously treated, and in a spirit with which all right-thinking men may sym pathise. The publication of novels not, indeed, I wholly impure, but so written as to skirt the bor dere of impurity and please a prurient fancy, is an evil sign of the times. That books of this half I vicious and sensational class are issued by respect ! able publishers may well excite wonder, but that, in the worst eases, they should be the work of lEnglish ladies is yet more surprising. The writer ,gives no niggard praise to Dickens and Thackeray, I to Anthony Trollope and the author of " John Halifax," for the high morality, and the tine spirit of humanity which pervade their writings, and allows that the novelist, like the poet, has an office and a purpose not lightly to be esteemed. But he adds, while turning from the great masters of fiction to the writers of the " sense tional" school—" Surely the time is come for , very plain outapeaking ut the matter, now that the press is pouring forth a flood of novels which I seem to contend in nameless rivalry, and expressing loose morality in yet more loose grammar, in un dermining, with equal recklessness, the purity of English morals and - the purity of the English btu , guage." In the indignation expressed by this anonymous essayist against several recent fictions which he names and analyses he has our entire sym pathy. It is a disgrace to English society that such works should be tolerated in respectable fami lies—a tenfold disgrace that young ladies should openly read them and discuss their merits as if the scenes they describe were alike familiar and agree able. And this is not all. The foulness of the worst French novels is as yet unknown in English fiction ; but as every one reads French, the " unut terable nastiness" of these books is not confined to I France. "In them," we quote from the essayist, "purity of thought or chastity of life become sheer unrealities, the dream of the fanatic, or the delu lion of the devotee. In them the holiest words are a sociated with the most hideous meanings, and ; most terrible mockeries of truth. In them love is a synonym for sensuality, and purity that which lends a zest to passion, and marriage only a social state that renders adultery possible. And it is a ' simple fact that these novels are largely imported, extensively sold, and widely read. It is not fo r us ; to say among what classes of society they circulate ; but it must be remembered that the ability to un derstand and to enjoy them implies a certain amount of education and the possession ce to a r tain degree of intellectual refinement., There is another kind of literature largely circu lated in this country which the writer thinks may not be so very harmful after all—the literature we mean that describes the adventures of highwaymen, buccaneers, and "boy pirates," but there is we think increasing evidenoe that penny novels of this de scription are exerting a most pernicious influence. The remedy for these evils is not to be found, as here suggested, in the authority of the church, but rather in the healthy co-operation of the clergy and the laity. Vicious and unwholesome litera ture cannot be stamped out like the cattle plague, but must be expelled by the sub stitution of something better. Gross vice may indeed be kept under restraint by law , but the vice that destroys the vitality of a people is more subtle and more dangerous because it is more refined. For this canker in the State goodness is the only effectual antagonist, not as it is stereotyped in clerical formularies, but as it is displayed in the life of men and women who are themselves pure and just and honest. We do not pretend to be excessive purists, but we do think that some of the fashions of what is called " good society," instead of being silently accepted, I should be distinctly reprobated by all who care for the modesty and good name of their sisters or daughters. " Why," writes another of the es sayists, are false hair, false ears, false bosoms, and the vile fashion which induces women to sffect a mockery of approaching motherhood, endured ONE PENNY for one instant anywhere out of the low haunts of vice ? Why are our unmarried girls allowed to wear the indecent dresses that arc the disgrace of English drawing -moms and ball-rooms, if it is not from a desire to attract the other sex by appealing to their animal passions Unpleasant questions are these, but it would be worse than idle to blink them. IVlzen, however, the writer, "A Mother," goes on to hint in mysterious Lan guage at certain moral evils to which our girls are liable, and finds the remedy for them in the ca tholic system ; and when again she urges that this system, as expressed in the Confessional, is ur gently needed if our wives and mothers " are not to sink into American demoralisation, - we are forced to part company with her, and to ask how it comes to pass that the greatest depravity in the relation between the sexes is to be found in countries where the Confessional is, and for cen• turies has been, an established institution On the whole, the reader who is not Anglican in his proclivities will read this collection of essays with more curiosity than pleasure. The main argu ments of the writers rest, as we think, n[irot utterly false premises, and it would be a dark day for England were she to acept the principles laid down by the extreme church party as represented in these pages. At the same time there is much in them we shall do well to ponder, much which may serve to point a mural both to churchmen and dissenters. The book is not one to place in the hands of young readers who of necessity are uninformed or ill-informed, but it may be usefully read by men whi are interested in the theological movements of the dam. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) P.4.11E TIK trios. The Daily Nora states that Mr. [lardy has con sented to postpone the second rading of the bill for in. creasing the police taxation of the metropolis until the annual accounts, which are required by statute to be pre sented, dull be laid before the House of Commons. It is proposed to increase our police taxation Id. in the pound on the full rateable value of our household property in 1868 and in subsequent years ; but the accounts for the year 1g67 will not show why or wherefore. To enable us to understand what Mr. Hardy is doing and intends to do with the Metropolitan police we want the estimates off expenditure on which he has come to the determittation to increase our taxation ; and the people to be taxed have quite as much right to have those accounts before them as the Home-office in making its proposal. sc:PTCH azroßm 3ILf.. The franchise clausPs of the above bill are settled, and the redistribution clauses involve three, or at the most four, question', the settlement of which the Time. thinks the government can indefinitely expedite. There remains a third pare, consisting of supplemental provisions, but the discussions on the former parts of the ball have very much facilitated the despatch of this. The agree ment upon the burgh franchise, and the substitution of grog value for rateabk value in the qualification for the occupation franchise In counties, have removed all ground of division on some CIAWa4)+, and have made a great many more absolutely unnecessary. The Lord Advocate proposes to omit no less than ten clauses in succession, which have been superseded by amended propositions. It I may be confidently expected, therefore, that the corn• mittee will reach the end of the Scotch Itrform Bill this evenins ; and it may even happen that it may be found possible to consider some of the new clauses proposed to be introduced. One of the earliest points to be considered is the threw cornered vote in the cue of Glasgow. The Star objects to the good sense and moderation of the people being over borne by any subtle devices in the mode of voting—a fa vourite engine with the Roman aristocracy, but neverthe• lea a most dangerous petard to be introduced by our less powerful and less ingenious political engineers. The only way in which the third member might be given is by sepa rating a large district from the city. If this be not done, the proposed third member should be bestowed elsewhere. The claims of the county of Perth and the city of Aber deen to an alditional member are so strong that the Stir hopes every effort will be made to secure these objects. Mt 4 CELLANK9I:4 Topr(s. Whatever Mr. Johnson does now, remarks the Daily New, his policy has passed from the stage. There is time even yet to redeem his administration from disgrace by cordially recognising what has been done in the South, and co-operating to complete it, so that a reconstructed Union may be handed over to his successor. Meanwhile his conduct, which matters everything to himself, matters little to the country. He is no longer the central star in the political sky. The tide of public interest and feeling ebbs away from him and his affairs, and rolls in other channels. For the next five months the Presidential can vass and election will absorb public attention; other names will be in the people's months, and Mr. Johnson will be forgotten. The Times starts as an important problem the question whether the sovereign people which is soon to rule us will by their new parliament be better able to house the mil lion, to scatter the stagnant masses, to purify the fever beds, and to reduce to obedience, if not to humanity, the clam that lives by housing the greatest number in the smallest possible cubical space, with the least possible air or water? Many of our local institutions and authorities are supposed to represent the popular element ; and cer tainly the election of parish authorities is often left ir. the hands of persons strong only in their numbers. Yet the failure of successive laws is ascribed to the want of per• sone willing or able to enforce them. It is not easy, therefore, to look to our new rulers with mach hope in a matter which seems to touch them most. The Teleg-nph asks whose business it is to look after the sixpences, fourpenny-pieces, and threepenny-hits of the currency? Almost all this realm's " change for a shilling" in silver is in a most deplorable state. The sixpences are worst off—they are becoming mere discs of metal, with edges sharp enough to cut paper, and nothing decipherable upon them. Venice swanzigen were habitually used by the gondolimi to alit their onions and melons ; arid the British sixpence of to-day might be similarly employed. The fourpenny-pieces are with the utmost difficulty distinguishable from the threepennies— for these an coins which do a world of work. The mass of them ought to be very soon " paid off," and a new issue made, or a pound sterling in average small coin will not be worth twelve shillings in solid silver. While granting to Lord Stanley the merit of due attention to the details of basinese and a °milder- I able ambition, the Post fears whether looking to his speaking, to his general political conduct, to his want of geniality and resolution, to his subordination to official inferiors, and his indifference as to ability in his promoting—that there is after all something essentially second-rate in his composition, and that the hopes at one time cherished as to his futurity as an English statesman will be blighted by the want of the higher qualities which are necessary to form the great minister of a great country.
