AT THE COUNCIL CHAMBER, WHITE HALL, the 24th day of July, 1865, by the Lords of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council. Present—Lord President, Sir George Grey, Bart., Mr. Milner Gibson. Whereas by an act passed in the session of the eleventh and twelfth years of her present Majesty's reign, intituled "An Act to prevent until the Ist day of September, 1850, and to the end of the then next session of Parliament, the spreading of contagious or infectious disorders among Sheep, cattle, and other animals," and which has since been from time to time continued by divers subsequent acts, it is (amongst other things) enacted that it shall be lawful for the Lords and others of her Majesty's Privy Council, or any two or more of them from time to time to make such orders and regulations as to them may seem necessary, for the purpose of prohibiting or regulating the removal to or from such parts or places as they may de signate in such order or orders, of sheep, cattle, horses, swine, or other animals, or of meat, skins, hides, horns, hoofs, or other part of any animals, or of hay, straw, fodder, or other articles likely to propagate infection ; and also for the purpose of purifying any yard, stable, outhouse, or other place, or any waggons, carts, carriages, or other vehicles ; and also for the purpose of directing how any animals dying in a diseased state, or any animals, parts of animals, or other things seized under the provisions of this act, are to be disposed of ; and also for the purpose of causing notices to be given of the appearance of any dis order among sheep, cattle, or other animals, and to make any other orders or regulations for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of the said act, and again to revoke, alter, or vary any such orders or regulations ; and that all provisions for any of the purposes aforesaid in any such order or orders contained shall have the like force and effect as if the same had been inserted in the said act ; and that all persons offending against the said act shall for each and every offence forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding £2O, or such smaller sum as the said Lords or others of her Majesty's Privy Council may in any such case by such order direct. And whereas a contagious or infectious disorder, of which the nature is at present uncertain, has lately appeared, and now prevails among cattle within the metropolis and in the neighbourhood thereof, and it is expedient to take measures for preventing such disorders from spreading, Now, therefore, the Lords of her M a je s t y 's P r i vy C ounc il do hereby, by virtue and in exercise of the powers given by the said recited act, and by the several acts continuing the same aforesaid, order as follows :- 1. If at the date of the publication of this order in the "London Gazette," there shall be any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, or ox labouring under any contagious or infectious disorder in the possession or custody of any cowkeeper, dairyman, or dairywoman, or of any milkman or milk woman, or vendor er purveyor of milk, or of any dealer in cattle whatsoever within the City of London or within the limits of the metropolitan police district, or if at any time hereafter, while this present order shall continue in force and unrevoked, any cow, heifer, bull, bullock, or ox, being in the possession or custody of any such person as afore said within the said City of London or within the metro politan police district shall be seized or attacked with, or bo found labouring or suffering under, any such contagious or infectious disorder, notice of the existence o f suc h dis order, or of the first appearance of such disorder in or among the cattle belonging to or in custody of any such person as aforesaid, shall immediately thereupon be given by. the person in whose possession or custody such diseased animals or animal shall be, to the clerk of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council in waiting at the office of har Majesty's Privy Council at Whitehall, in the county of Middlesex; and it shall be lawful for the said clerk of her Majesty's Privy Council, and for all such persons as shall by writing under his hand authorise in that behalf thereupon, and at all reasonable times thereafter, to in spect or examine all or any such diseased animals or ani mal, and to report to the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council all such information and particulars as to the na ture or pharacter of such disorder as may seem to him ex pedient for the purpose of enabling proper regulations to be made for preventing or checking the further propaga tion and increase of such disorder. 2. Every person offending against this order, and omit tingeit any togive such notice or to permit such inspection and examination as aforesaid, shall for every such offence for sum not exceeding twenty pounds, which the jus tices before whom he or she shall be convicted of such offence may think it to impose.

The law of the 17th (29th) of March, 1865, creates the Grand Livre de la Dette Generale do I'Empiro Ottoman, and that of the 18th (30th) March ordains the inscription of a sum of 40,000,000 Medjules d'or, composed of 29,000,000 intended for the unification of the internal debts of the empire ; of 4,000,000 issued by public subscription ; and of 7,000,000 intended for public works, and only to be issued as follows :-2,000,000 at the soonest one year after the subscription of the 4,000,000; 3,000,000 at the expiration of two years ; and 2,000,000 at the expiration of three years. According to the law of the 17th (29th) of March, no further inscription can be made in the Grand Livre except in virtue of a special law legally published, and after suffi cient provision has been made for the interest and sinking fund of the new inscription. The general debt inscribed in the Grand Livre is guaranteed by the reserve fund, by the general revenues of the empire actually unencumbered, and by the revenues already charged as they become available by the amortisa tion of the existing foreign debts, of which they constitute the special guarantee. The debt inscribed on the Grand Livre is to be amortised in 37 years by means of redemption (rachat), and the numbers of the bonds redeemed will be published by the special council charged with the superintendence and con trol of all the operations of the sinking and reserve funds. The bonds bear an annual interest of 5 per cent., pay able in gold on the Ist (13th) January and the Ist (13th) of July of each year at Constantinople, L on don, Paris Amsterdam, and Frankfort-on-the-Maine, at the fixed rate of 110 gold Medjidi6s, = £lOO sterling, = 2,500 francs. By the provisions of the law of the 19th (31st) March, 1865, the conversion of the principal classes of internal debts, viz., of the Eihami-Djedides of the four issues, of Tahvilati-Mumtazes, and of the 10-year Serghis will be effected on the following conditions : Against 100 gold Medjidies of Eshami-Djedide (con solides) of the Ist, 2d, 3d, and 4th issues, there will be delivered 121 gold Medjidies of the general debt, equal to £llO sterling, or to 2,750 francs. Against 100 gold Medjidies of Tahvilati-Mumtaze, there will be delivered 143 gold Medjidies, equal to £l3O ster ling, or to 3,250 francs. Against 11,000 piastres of 10 years Serghis (on seneliks), there will be delivered 110 gold Medjidies, equal to £lOO sterling, or to 2,500 francs. The Bonds of the General Debt form three classes, viz : Bonds of 110 Gold Medjidies=-.-£lOO sterling=2,soo francs I? 55 77 £5O ~ =1,250 ~ 11 £lO „ = 250 ~ Each bond will be sop:irately inscribed in the Grand Livre, and will be signed by the Minister of Finance by the Governor of the General Debt, and by a Controller de legated by the Grand Council. The first Coupon of Interest on the Bonds of tho General Debt being due the Ist (13th) July, 1865, the bearers of the old Bonds Will receive from the Commissioner-delegate at the time of verification of their bonds special coupons re presenting the interest due to them in virtue of the law, of 19th (31st) March, 1865. These Coupons will be payable at the Imperial Ottoman Bank at Constantinople, London, and Paris ; on presenta tion, except the special Coupons relating to the arrears of interest on the Ten-years' Serghis, and due the Ist (13th) January, and Ist (13th) July, 1 8 6 6 , ' Which will be paid on their respective due dates in accordance with Art. 7. In virtue of Articles 11 and 12 of the law of the 19th (31st) March, 1865, all securities of the internal debts, to whatever class they may belong, not presented for conver sion within the period of three months from the opening of the conversion—that is to say, between the 8d (15th) August, and the 2d (14th) November following, will not be convertible, except with a reduction of 10 per cent., and only during the period of one month and a half from the 2d (14th) November, 1865. On the expiration of this second period the operations of the conversion will bo de clared closed. In order to facilitate the operation of the conversion, and to avoid the necessity of issuing Provisional Certifi cates, and sending the original bonds for verification to Constantinople, the Imperial Ottoman Government has appointed, besides the Commissioners-delegate, verificators to attend at London and Paris during the whole period appointed for the conversion, to verify the bonds pre sented for conversion. Securities presented elsewhere than at Constantinople, London, and Paris will be transmitted for verification to London, except those presented at Alexandria, which will be sent to Constantinople. Definitive Bonds of the General Debt of the Ottoman empire, with coupons for 37 years, now in course of manu facture, will be delivered as soon as ready in exchange for the securities presented for conversion. In the meantime the securities presented will receive, at the time of verification, an official stamp and the signature of the Commissioner- delegate attesting their verification, to be exchanged by the bearers for the definitive bonds of the general debt. Forms of application for conversion may be obtained at all the offices where the conversion will take place. Copies of the laws may be obtained at the same places, and also at the offices of the solicitors, Messrs. Baxter, Rose, Norton, and Co., No. 6, Victoria-street, Westminster.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. • The objects of the Company are, first, to construct a rail way about nine miles in length from tho Old Port of Mar seilles to Podestat, to afford increased facilities for the cm, merce and manufactures of the town and port ; secondly, to acquire land on both sides of the line throughout its length for building and other purposes, to which great value will be given by the construction of the railway. The reputation of Marseilles as the first maritime city of France is well known ; second only to Paris in population and wealth, its position and capabilities givo it the com mand of French commerce in the Mediterranean. _ _ _ Within the last 10 years 3liirseilles has been placed in direct railway communication with. Paris and all parts of France ; magnificent docks and warehouses have been constructed, but great and rapid as those new works have been, they are still far behind the requirements of its ever increasing trade. The old quarters of the town are being demolished to make room for handsome streets and public buildings. The population thus displaced are driven to the suburbs, more especially towards the south, where the lands of the Com pany are situate. The proposed Railway, after leaving the port and town of 300,000 inhabitants, will pass through the southern suburb, which contains a population of 50,000, and follow the valley to the sea, at the Madrague de Montredon, from thence it will be continued for three miles along the coast to Podestat, affording sites for the erection of factories, with access to the sea, and direct railway communication with the town and port, and with the Paris, Lyons, and Mediterranean lines, by a junction with the proposed new branch of the latter to the Place Castellano. The Company have contracted for the purchase of about 1,200,000 square metres of land (about 300 English acres) situated on both sides of the proposed railway between the town and the Madrague de Montredon, 140,000 metres of which will be required for the construction of the line and stations, leaving 1,060,000 metres to be sold for the erec tion of first-class residences. It has been estimated that, on the completion of the rail way, the whole of this land will be readily seld at the price of at least 20fr. per metre, at which rate it will pro duce 21,200,000 fr., or £848,000. The Company have also contracted for the purchase of a very large tract of ground beyond the Madrague de Montredon, through which the railway will pass to Podestat. _ _ _ _ _ The average cash cost to the Company of the land above referred to is only 5/fr. per metre, including the houses already built thereon, and including also upwards of 10,000,000 metres of land (about 2,500 acres) on the coast line for three miles beyond the proposed terminus at PO destat, which will thus be acquired by the Company free of cost, and which will bo made available at some future time by an extension of the railway and the formation of roads. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be had of the secretary at the offices of the Company ; or of the bankers, brokers, and solicitors. But no applica tion will be entertained unless the deposit of £1 per share on the number applied for has been duly paid to the Com pany's bankers. In the event of no allotment being made to the applicant, the deposit will be promptly returned in full. MARSEILLES EXTENSION RAILWAY and LAND COMPANY (Limited).

Fantail made play, followed by Rose, the favourite lying off until rounding the turn into the straight, when Fantail dropped back, and Rose went on with a slight lead to the distance, when The Warrior came up to her, the pair running a good race home, which resulted in favour of "the grey" by a neck.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Oberon, 3to 1 agst Rose, 6to 1 agst Greenland, 7 to 1 agst Water Lily, and 10 to 1 any other. Water Lily made play with a clear lead of Whisky, who headed Oberon and Greenland. This order was maintained for half a mile, when Water Lily gave way to the three placed, Whisky having a slight lead half way up the straight, where Oberon went to the front. Opposite the stand Rose challenged, but failed to overhaul Oberon, who won, after an exciting finish, by a short head. Three quarters of a length separated the second and third. Turcos and Greenland were the two last. The Kimbolton Cup, presented by his Grace the Duke of Manchester, added to a sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, h ft, 3-yr-olds and upwards; selling allowances.

After one or two failures they were despatched to a strag gling start, the favourite being last off, Vicksburg having a lead of King of Greece and North Hill to the turn, where Polka joined the front rank. Half way up the straight North Hill, Vicksburg, and Polka drew away, the trio running a fine race home, which resulted in favour of North Hill by a head, Vicksburg defeating the favourite by a similar distance ; Life Belt a'bad fourth. ,The winner was bought by Mr. R. Cotton for 56 guineas. The Huntingdonshire Stakes of 100 sovs, added to a sweep stakes of 15 sovs each, 5 ft, 3 only if declared ; winners extra. Two miles. 40 subs, 25 of whom pay 3 sovs each.

Claxton jumped off with a clear lead, followed by Suspicion, Roseneath, Veluti, and Prince Plausible, the favourite last. After going half a mile Claremont passed Prince Plausible, who dropped back and was out of the race from this point. No other varia tion occurred until rounding the turn into the straight, when Redmire, who had gradually closed with his horses, took third place. Claxton, still holding a clear lead, which he maintained notwithstanding the vigorous challenge of Suspicion opposite the enclosure, won by three parts of a length, Redmire being the same distance in roar of the second. Claremont was a bad fourth, Veluti fifth, Rose neath and Prince Plausible sixth and seventh, the last named a long way in the rear. Mr. Bevill objected to the winner on the ground that he was struck out of the race on Aug. 1, according to the announcement in the Calendar, but the stewards could not decide in the absence of Lord St. Vincent. The objection, therefore, remains in abey ance. All bets go to Claxton.

Rounding the bottom turn Gulnara dropped back, and Donnybrook drew up to Queen of Trumps, with whom he ran in close company to the distance, and then took the lead ; but Gulnara coming again opposite the stand, the three finished a splendid race which ended in favour of Donnybrook by a head.

Moulsey was first off, and at a slow pace was followed by Spring Gun, Lady Bohun, and Scamander in the order named, Moose two or three lengths in the rear of the favourite. They ran in this order till nearing the T.Y.C. post, when Scamandor ran by Lady Bohun and took third place, and, entering the straight, took his place beside Spring Gun, Lady Bohun and Moose following in close company. They ran thus to the stand, where Fordham took a pull at Moul soy, and let up Spring Gun and the favourite, and, going round the turn, the lot took closer order; but fairly in the straight, on the far side, Moulsey again forged ahead, the others running in the order already named, with the ex ception of Lady Bohun, who dropped several lengths in the rear when a mile and a half had been traversed. Round ing the bottom turn Scamander quitted Spring Gun, and, upon entering the straight, joined issue with Moulsey, the pair coming on to the distance, where Lord Bateman's horse was beaten and Scamander was joined by Spring Gun ; but Mr. Cartwright's horse in a few strides gave way to Moose, who at once challenged Spring Gun, and the pair at the half distance commenced a head-and-head race till within a few strides of the post, when Moose got his head in front, and gained the judge's fiat by a short head; Moul- ~' //~~ 2 /~L ~t~' PRICE 4d.

RAILWAY AND OTHER COMPANIES. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. The directors of this company have resolved to recommend to the proprietors, at the half-yearly general meeting, on the 17th inst., that the dividend for the half-year ending 30th June, 1865, should be at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum on the ordinary capital stock of the company, being the same rate as was declared for the half-year ending 30th June, 1864. MARYPORT AND CARLISLE. The directors of the, company intend to recom mend to the shareholders at the ensuing meeting on the 23d inst. a dividend at the rate of 9 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending the 30th of June last. LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN. The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Coleman-street buildings, Moorgate-street—Mr. J. Clay, M.P., in the chair. Mr. LAVER having read the notice convening the meeting, the report, an abstract of which has ap peared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said he had little to add, remarking that a very gratifying increase had taken place in the traf fic. The traffic for the past half-year, as compared with the corresponding half of last year, showed an increase of £1,270 ; and the traffic for the first five weeks of the current half year, as compared with the corresponding five weeks last year, showed an increase of very nearly £l,OOO. Now, this was a more gratifying feature than they had to notice for Elome time past. The very great difficulty of getting their debentures taken up as _others fell due had recently been experienced to such an extent that they had to pay away their weekly receipts as the debentures came in. They could readily borrow the money from their bankers to pay the dividends, but if that difficulty should continue the renewals of debentures must be met by another expedient. He thought it right to mention this matter with the view of calling the attention of the shareholders to it at the next half-yearly meeting of the sharehold ers. (Hear, hear.) He thought it would be well for the shareholders to consider whether a well . secured 5 per cent. debenture stock was an invest ment worth their attention. The interest on the debentures of the company amounted to £7,000 a year, which was the first charge on a fixed rental of £26,000 a year. He thoug ht no security could be better than they had to offer. The competition from all parts of the world had no doubt enhanced the value of money, and had caused the difficulty he had mentioned. Mr. LAVER seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which was agreed to unanimously. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by. Captain WARREN, a formal resolution was unani mously passed declaring dividends for the half-year ending the 30th June last at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on £3,062 stock B. ; also the dividends at the rate of 6 per annum on the £31,850 stock A ; also the dividends at the rate of 5 per cent., together with 1 per cent. on account of arrears, making 6 per cent. per annum on £.247,738 stock B, subject to the usual indemnity to the directors in respect of the amount of arrears, the dividends and arrears being payable on the 21st inst. Capt. D. Warren and Mr. P. W. Barlow, the retiring directors, were re-elected, and also Mr. C. Whetham, the retiring auditor. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors for their attention to the interests of the company. DANUBE AND BLACK SEA. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Abingdon-street, Westmin ster ; Mr. W. Price, M.P., in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in • 7 he Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said the company had sustained a loss by the death of their late chairman, Sir S. Cunard, and the directors had passed a resolution of sympathy, which had been conveyed to his family. With respect to the harbour dues he had told them at former meet ings that the question, although not settled, was on the point of being settled, and on one, the last occa sion, that it would be settled by the next meeting, and he had but to repeat that statement now. The directors had waited on Ea rl Russell. His lordship entered most cordially int o their views, and expres se d his willingness to assist them. The Board asked hi m to instruct the Minister at Constantinople to imp ress upon the Porte the necessity of doing justice to the company, if they wis le to see a further flow of English capital into Turkey. Accordingiy-Sir Bulwer and Mr. Barclay, the company's represen 7 i 7 tative, waited upon the Grand Vizier, and the-direc tors had that morning received a -telegram stating that the question had been referred to-the Public Works Commission. He believekthey were nearer to a settlement now than ever they'were before. The _traffic was increasing, and it was impoitiblep coi l to any other conclusion than .that they had suc ceeded to a great extent in diverting the trade of the Danube to the railway, and they might con sider that the whole of the trade would soon follow. If the receipts would only continue to increase in the same rate as they had in the past year their suc cess would soon be complete. There had been a large increase in the local grain traffic, and it was a matter of Congratulation that there was no pros pect of that traffic being taken away from them. Mr. LEWIS seconded the motion. In answer to a question, it was stated that the total receipts for the month' of July amounted to £6,000, against £2,500 for the same month in 1864. The report was then adopted. On the motion of Mr. TIPPING, seconded by Mr. FORD, a resolution expressing regret and condo lence at the death of Mr. Samuel Cunard was carried. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. UNITED KINGDOM RAILWAY OFFICERS AND SERVANTS. The half -yearly meeting of this association was held Secretary yesterday a t th e G eorge H ote l , Ald erman b ury —Mr. Godfrey in in ( t N li f e r, " air. The which stated th a t there l h lr a c d s to beenn) r a e n a d i n e t r h e e a s r e e u p p o r e t n , the half-year. With regard to the Railway Pro vident Society, upwards of £3,000 had been paid to the members, their widows and orphans, since the first call. The George Stephenson fund was gra dually increasing, £3OO having been deposited with the bankers. The committee believed that by recent changes in the officers of the society the ex penditure would be materially reduced, and con cluded by urging the necessity of uniting to support the association for the benefit of their fellow railway employe's. The financial statement showed the bal ance to be :—General account, £256 ; George Stephenson fund, UN ; and Railway Provident Society, £5l; total, £602, of which £257 was placed on deposit and the remainder at the Imperial Bank, The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the meeting upon the improved position of the association, there having been an in crease of fees and a corresponding decrease of ex penses. He hoped they would all work together in promoting the prosperity of the association. Mr. CLARKE seconded the resolution for the adop tion of the report, which, after a long discussion, was carried unanimously. The meeting was then made special, when some alterations were made in the rules, and the pro ceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. Return of the Orissa to Bombay through a Storm, (From the Bombay Gazette of July 11.) No little excitement was created in the Fort yes terday afternoon, when the flagstaff announced a steamer from the south, and that steamer the Orissa, which left this on the 24th June with the mails and passengers for Aden, Suez, and England. Of course all sorts of conjectures were afloat as to her return, and the wildest guesses indulged iu. It appears that immediately after leaving Bombay the Orissa experienced heavy weather, and made but 150 miles in the first 24 hours. This bad wea ther increased to such an extent that her daily aver age became from 70 to 80 miles. On the sth of July, when off Socrota, the wind and sea increased fearfully, and from the thickness of the weather it became apparent that the vessel was running into a cyclone. After consulting with his officers, Capt. Curling decided on turning the ship's head in the direction of Bombay. We give the official account of the disaster below, merely remarking that the passengers were reduced to two quarts of water per diem, and that no casualty beyond the loss of a lifeboat occurred. The Orissa neither saw the out going mail on Sunday nor any other steamer, and great anxiety in consequence will no doubt result in England, as there will be no means of telegraph ing for the next ten or twelve days. The mails and passengers proceed on Wednesday evening by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Baroda. "G. F. Henry, Superintendent Peninsular and Orien tal Steam Navigation Company, Bombay. " Dear Sir,—lt is with great regret I have to in form you of the unfortunate circumstances that have compelled me to bring the vessel back to Bombay. " From the 30th June to the 3d July we encoun tered a succession of very heavy weather, with high head sea, ship pitching and labouring heavily, and increasing in violence each day, so that during the above period we had made but 450 miles. On the 3d July the ship made a quantity of water, and from the heavy lurching burst up the bunker bilge boards, the coals falling through into the bilges and chokng the pumps ; these were repaired, but the ship con tinued making a large quantity of water. The bun kers again gave way and choked the pumps, when Mr. Henderson, the chief engineer, requested that the ship might be kept steady, and on several occa sions she was put head to wind, that repairs might be effected to the bilge and the pumps cleared. O n this occasion it took the deck and engine -room pumps seven hours to reduce the water sufficiently to allow us to proceed on our course. " On the morning of the sth inst., lat. 12.52, len. 54.58, the gale had much increased from the S.W., bl o wing in furious gusts, a falling ba rome t er an d indications of an approaching cyclone, into the cen tre of which by continui ng my course W.N.W. would have led. I therefore deemed it advisable to put her head to the eastward before the ship became unmanageable, as she was maki ng b ut li tt l e wa y , and scarcely steering. At the same time it was with difficulty the pumps could be kept working, and when in full force were barely able to keep the water under. " Having taken these precautions I held a con sultation with my officers and the naval agent, Capt. Lloyd, who unanimously agreed with me that, taking into consideration I had but four days' coal on board, being short of water from injury to the condenser, the ship making so much water and the pumps frequently becoming choked, there would be little chance of reaching Aden, and a very great risk of serious mishap to the ship and those on board if we stood on. tf--4 " I may add that there were other nautical melt among the passengers, who concurred with me that, in returning to Bombay, I was but consulting the interests of the company and the safety of the passengers. " Permit me to state that the above advice was not acted upon until every effort had been made to discover the course of the leak, and every approach• able spot in the ship had been carefully examined. " The passengers rendered great assistance in removing cargo to trim the ship and also at the deck pumps, and of the officers of the ship I cannot speak too highly, as they were unremitting in their exer tions.—l am, &c., " R. CURLING, Commander." ORANGE TREES AS AN INVESTMENT. —During the last few years the supply of oranges has been greatly improved in France, and amongst the new or improved sources are Cannes and the Gulf of Juan in the Mediterra nean, nearly the whole neighbourhood of which is being converted into orange plantations. It is said that Paris alone consumes annually about five millions of oranges grown there ; and there is a large trade besides in orange flowers, which are the produce not of the sweet, but of the bitter or Seville orange. At present the price of orange flowers at Cannes is not more than 4d. a lb., but it is said to be on the rise. In good situations a tree 15 years of age will yield about lalb. of flowers each year, and in an orangery by the Gulf of Juan 1,550 trees of 17 years' growth give on an average above 10 tons of flowers. Besides these flowers these trees yield a certain amount of fruit, the result of the blossoms which appear after the flower harvest—for the orange tree has a succession of; flowers, ripe and green fruit as well as blossoms being frequently seen together on the same tree—and also athircl item of profit in the form of prunings and clippings, which fetch Ss. a cwt., and aro used for the production of inforioi scents.—The Grocer.
