Lord PALMERSTON has indeed no rest; he scarcely gives up the onerous duties that devolve upon him daring the session before he undertakes all sorts of new engagements, and eaters upon tasks that in volve great fatigue both physically and mentally. No one can accuse him of being an idle Minister, for he is ever ready to fulfil any of the duties that by common consent and courtesy devolve upon a Minister, and these, too, he performs in a genial manner that doubles the favour. He also enters upon them with a spirit and bonhommie that im. paxts a zest to the affair ; this expedition to Brad. ford has not been au exception to the general r u l e in this respect, for universal satisfaction appears to have prevailed throughout the whole course of the proceedings. In fact, Lord PALMERSTON seemed to be in his right element, as the chief Minister of Slate rendering a tribute of respect, and doing honour to the foandatiCn of an Exchange. It was a good idea of the Corporat:on of Bradford and the Chamber of Commerce to endeavour to make the occasion memorable by in v;ting en distinguished a personage to pre. s'ee at their ceremonies. The simplicity of the proceedings were more in keeping with the nature L A' the affair than had they been more compact or ex t r avagant, and it appears that good sense and good taste alike prevailed in the various arrange en ts. The address p resented to Lord PALMER_ STON at the site of the Exchange was a very affec tionate one, en d fully explain e d the requirements of the case. The spread of trade and the inc rease of population in Bradford has been great, and it is an encouraging proof of the flourishing state of the country when we hear such statements as those put forth in the communication to Lord PALMER. STON on the site of the new building. The require ments of the preaent are quite out of keeping with the supplies aVhich in past days were sufficient, and certainly there was sufficient reason for the erection of anew Exchange. In 1828, the period when the old 11 Exchange was opened, there were not more than two or three firms trading as stuff merchants in the borough, now there are one hundred and fifty-seven. The population of the borough about that time was forty-three thousand five hundred and twenty-seven, in 1861 it was computed at upwards of one hundred and six thousand. These are interesting facts to dwell upon, and speak greatly as to the skill and industry which have spread the efforts of trade and commerce, and turned unnoticed villages into flourishing manufacturing towns, the centres of industry and the theatres of traffic. It was men tioned that the trade of the borough of Bradford waa never better than at present; " the vast capital that is employed connects it with the prosperity of the farmer at home and the distant colonist, with eve. t y sheepfold, however remote, and every shepherd in every clime; its ambition is to trace its trophies in every household, to wrap them round the inmates strength. The lesson thus taught to the unscrupu lous and the powerful is one that Europe will yet have to mourn over through long years of conten• 'lion and disaster. Such seeds do not bear fruit at once. The life of nations is unlike the life of indi viduals, but as surely as such political crimes are committed and are tolerated, if not sanctioned, the hour of retribution comes. But what matter, cry oar materialists, so long as trade and commerce flourish, so long as our wares are in demand and our manufactories thriving, what matter about such empty words as nationaaty and freedom. We are not going to war for an idea. So the Danish king dom is dismembered under overwhelming odds, and the English world goes quietly on its accustomed way, taking for its motto, "Apres mot le deluge." LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

Lord PALMERSTON, in his appropriate answer, emphatically declared that they had that day laid the foundation of a temple of peace. There seems no cause to doubt that the hopes expressed by the noble founder will be disappointed, and all must join with him in trusting that the ceremony thus inaugurating the erection of the edifice may be the " harbinger of future greatness and increas ing prosperity to that industrious and increasing town," The great event was over when the foun dation stone was laid, but other interesting affairs took place, giving opportunities for the expression of opinion and the interchange of good feeling and kindly sentiment. Both at the banquet and the presentation of addresses at the Great Hall, unani mity prevailed, and the general feeling seemed to be one of gratification at the course of the day's proceedings. There was no opposition to the address, which expressed the pleasure afforded by this visit of the Premier, and trusted that hu might long live in the enjoyment of intellectual and bodily vigour, to take a part in the councils of the nation. This was as it should be, for an occasion like this is not the time for any discordant sentiments to be uttered, but stiff in mixed assemblies it is difficult at all times to obtain the due decorum in such matters, and to inculcate the propriety of reticence of opinion, therefore it may be regarded as an additional sue. cess to this Bradford ceremonial that so unanimous a tone prevailed, and perfect concord reigned para• mount during the prolongation of the proceedings. Lord PALMERSTON made a happy allusion to the advantages that Englishmen derived from their Constitution. -He said that in other countries those who have the charge of affairs were prevented from meeting their fellow-countrymen as he had done that day. Tflis was a good thought, because it greatly explains the vast superiority of this country in all matters of enterprise, for no undertakings can be brought to perfection if the promoters and origi nators are fettered and trammelled by the arbitrary regulations of the Government, and the undue in terference of authorities. It is the want of free ex pression which checks progress and stays prosperity in many lands that might else be flourishing. All enlightened Statesmen, and men who take a right estimate of their position and its duties and respon• sibilities, will concur in the expression of Lord PALMERSTON when he said, "It is a great and heartfelt satisfaction to be able to meet as I have done to-day the people of England, to see their faces, and show one's own." The noble lord truly called Bradford a type of the English character, as it had exhibited perseverance, industry, enterprise, judgment, and courage in pursuing that which had been undertaken. Altogether it ruay be considered that this ceremonial has been a very successful one, and the carrying out of the attempt has reflected honour alike on the visitor and the entertainers, besides being a trophy of the great things wrought by industry and enterprise. The address of King ChRISTIAN to the Rigsdag can hardly be read without feelings of regret and mortification in this country. It presents us with the mournful spectacle of a loyal and determined people struggling vainly, not for aggression, not for conquest, but simply for the preservation of their old national possession. According to a form of our law a tenure of any property for more than two hundred years bars any objection to the right of possession; but the Danes have held the Duchi es for double that time. It is a mere platitude to ;ay that if all States were compelled to resume) their status at the middle of the fifteenth century, one at least of Prussia's persecutors would have very certain cause to regret it. Yet this brave and resolute people, staunch ie.( their loyalty, their patriotism, and their self - devotion, have been, from sheer force of opposing :lumbers and superior sup plies of the equipearats of war, compelled to sur render to the eicgressors the full sum of their outrageous deraands. The conduct of the German Powers, more especially of Prussia, presents another view of the question, which is no less irritating and unsatisfactory. While it is impossible for English men not to feel a painful degree of humiliation in reflecting that this country, with all the appliances which wealth, freedom, and ingenuity can place at her disposal, with a formidable army and navy for active service, and a voice which should carry weight in the councils of Europe, has been powerless to prevent such dire misfortunes from befalling her weaker ally. In fact, she has not only been power less to prevent them, she has been actually instru mental in bringing them upon her, and Denmark robbed, despoiled, and oppressed, her rights de. trended, her dominions curtailed, her defenders slaughtered, her peaceable inhabitants ruthlessly plundered and maltreated, and her resources crippled, presents to the world an im pressive example of the benefits to be dee rived from following England's advice and rely ing upon English promises. If any Englishman were present in the saloon of the Folkething, at noonday on the 6th of August, some such reflections must have arisen in his mind. It was a mournful occasion ; and when the KING, the Crown Prince, and Ministers entered, it was difficult to imagine the authorities of any European nation, still pos sessing the rank and semblance of a State, assem bling under more melancholy auspices. According to the Danish constitution, the members of a newly elected Rigsdag (or Legislative Assembly for the kingdom alone), must be convoked within two months of the general election. It was therefore supposed that the meeting last week was a mere matter of form, but unexpected interest and im portance was imparted to it by the presence of the KING and by his brief address. After reminding them that the newly opened session would be im mediately closed, King CEIRISTIAN briefly told hie people that, notwithstandin g the courage and en durance shown on every occasion by the naval and military defenders of Denmark, and, indeed, manifested by the whole nation, who have cheerfully responded to every c a ll for sacrifice, the fate of war would neverthee less compel him to submit to the heaviest and most grievous concessions. "For," said the Danish Monarch, in words that breathe a deep reproach to all free and powerful nations, " as all Europe leaves us without assistance, we have seen ourselves forced to yield to numbers." So, then, the law of might is henceforth to be the rule which governs Europe. Farewell to the hopes of Venetia, of Hungary, of Poland—farewell to all resistance to tyranny and aggression if backed by superior IHE SetlN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1864 HOLMAN HUNT'S PICTURES, The After Glow" and "London Bridge." These two wonderful pictures, by one of the most gifted of living artists—the "London Bridge," picture, simply remarkable to our mind as a curio sity, "The After Glow in Egypt," a marvel of the beautiful as well as of the extraordinary —are still on view at the New Gallery, 16, Hanover-street, Regent-street, and are yet likely to remain there upon view for two or three months longer. The genuine London scene, commemorative of the Night of the Marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales, is, in its way, a pictorial pheno• menon. It excites one's astonishment, but fails altogether —at any rate, we may speak thus for ourselves—it faila altogether to afford one any sense of real pleasure. Not so the grander, nobler work from the hand of the same rare colourist. " The After Glow in Egypt" takes rank iramediately after "The Finding of the Saviour in the Temple," as among Mr. Holman Hunt's masterpieces. Of itself it is an instant and triumphant attestation of the genius of the Painter, not only as a great master among colourists, bat intensely and essentially as an Artist—as a Peet. The picture itself is like the realisation visibly of a dream of Poetry. It was in obedi eace to the true thought and feeling of a poet that Mr Holman Hunt selected the subject of this picture, the season of it, the hour of it, one might almost say the very moment of it. For, is it not during the evanescent " After Glow'' of an Egyptian sunset— that after glow that divides by a luminous haze of 10 minutes' duration the light of day from the dark ness of night—is it not during those fast fleeting moments that he has here in this wonderful picture revealed to view, the Egyptian maiden standing on the banks of the river Nile, bearing upon her head a golden sheaf of ripe corn and scarlet poppies, raising aloft in her right hand the green glazed ghooleh or water-bottle, while the Barbary pigeons cluster about her feet pecking the grain, one of the more adventurous of them selecting the unshaked corn from the sheaf itself, close to which the bird is fluttering all but audibly, half clinging with its talons, half hovering upon the wing ? Those who have not yet seen this marvellous painting should on no account omit doing so before the time arrives for its removal from the Gallery. The visitor will be yet further rewarded for his attendance there by seeing in the apartment containing the " London Bridge" commemorative picture of Mr. Hunt, the very masterly and pathetic painting by Mr R. B. Martineau of " The Last Day in the Old Home," a picture that tells its tale as distinctly and as im pressively, and as completely in its way, as any oze of our great Hogarth's masterpieces. WHALLEY THE WIaE, (From Fun,,/„.) giving an acco un t St`..ivardship to the i n t e lli gent e l ectors Mr G. H, Whalley has n o ti me i n of his Parliamentary of Peterborough, wto do themselves so much honour, and so thoroughly vindicate their title to the franchise, by re turning tba, determined enemy of Popery. We regret we can find room only for a portion of his admirable address to his ~ .onstituents. Mr Whalley, after a sketch of the past session, and refer ences to his introduction of a protest against the Church of Rome on the Third Reading of every Railway Bill and other domestic measures, proceeded "I shall continue this course. I am asked what Popery has to do with railways ? I answer, Everything, I know that nearly every stationmaster is a Jesuit in disguise, and some day when there is a Roman Catholic rebellion, and troops are wanted, the lines will be blocked, and probably collisions will be arranged for the destruction of the Queen's soldiers. The Jesuits are everywhere, Do you know why the Nelson Column is not complete ? Be cause Popery obstructs homage to the victor of Roman Catholic fleets, and Sir Edwin Leeadseer has been converted. (Cheers.) Do you know triat the Lord Chan cellor of England, in utter defie :ace of the law that the keeper of the Queen's con e '. - ;ience shall have no Popish leanings, has favoured the interests of Mrs Yelverton ? Why ? Because that lady is a Catholic. (Sensation.) Do you know that 'the Queen of Spain has ordered a statue to Columbus ? by ? Because the Emperor of the French has forended a new Catholic empire in America, and that in cen years Federals and Confederates will lie at the feet of the Pope. Gentlemen, I have often felt the pangs of ' conscience at representing a borough called after St, Peter, and I do wish you would change the name of your town. (Cheers.) Are you aware that in the heart Of London, in front of the most magnificent railway terminus we have, is rising a beau' iful and costly copy of an Reanor's Cross, the superstitious monument erected by a Popish king ? Do you know that the conductor of the music at our noblest opera house (visited I am sorry to say by the Heir to the Throne) is M. Costa, a Catholic, and that he has got a dispensation for leading the Hugue nots and the National Anthem ? Have you heard that Earl Russell, the pretended enemy of Popery, is going to bring in a bill for restoring to his relative's property its old Popish name of Convent Garden ? You knew, gentle men, that the London General Omnibus Company was a foreign speculation, but do you know that all the conduc tors are Jesuit priests, that they charge half fares to pas sengers who cross themselves, and misdirect to Catholic chapels those who inquire their way to Protestant places of worship. (Shame.) Yes, gentlemen, and can you hear with patience that a Catholic tract Society has obtained leave trom Mr Panizzi, of the British Museum, to insert a tract in every volume of the library ? Does Mr Panizzi's name remind you of England or of Italy ? Was there a word, gentlemen, in the Queen's Speech last week to re mind us that the Sovereign is a Protestant? Not one. But the Queen was made to go out of her way to express satisfaction that she is on good terms with the Emperor of China. Who cares for the Emperor of China in himself ? But what so- called Chris tian religionists have had for hundreds of years the greatest sway in the Chinese Empire—who have been tole rated when Protestants have been excluded ? Why, the Jesuits. (Cheers.) Again, do you note that it is made matter of boast that the French and English are drawing into closer alliance, Catholic with Protestant ? (Cheers.) Ay, you cheer, but that is not all. Who is our friend's friend ? Who, at this moment of the increased amity is about to visit theTuileries. The King of Spain. Does that anti-Protestant bigot come for nothing ? Cowley see him ? We live in awful and perilous times, gentle men. I know for a fact that there were hundreds of Catholics among the Riflemen at Wimbledon, and that it one of them had been the best marksman of the meeting, Lady Elcho would have unhesitatingiy presented him with the Queen's Prize. (Sensation.) Yes, and how soon would that silver vase have become the ornament of a Popish ,mass-house? It was providential that it fell to Mr Wyatt, who is a Protestant, but no thanks to the authorities. Why have passports just been so universally abolished on the Continent ? In order to entrap English men and Englishwomen into Catholic countries in order to promote proselytism ? Why has the cross on St. Paul's just been ostentatiouslyand splendidly regilt ? Look at that. And why is a magnificent bridge being constructed, at vast expense, at Blackfriars—and observe that Popish name, gentlemen. Because Blackfriars-bridge will open a tempt ing and delightful toad from mid-London to Cardinal 'Wiseman's Popish cathedral, St. George's. Lastly, gen tlemen, though I could give you a hundred similarly alarm ing demonstrations, hear this. You have heard of Mr Banting. His system is artfully promulgated all over the country. It is pretended that he merely desires to reduce the over-corpulent. Bah I Ho is a Jesuit priest, and his object is to introduce and make popular the Popish practice of regular fasting, Yes, gentlemen, I repeat that we live iu perilous times, and the Triple Crown will coon domi nate the Three Kingdoms." Mr Whalley sat down amidst loud cheers and passionate cries of "No Popery 1" SUDDEN DEATH DIIRING• A HONEYMOON.—A terribly sudden death occurred on Sunday fortnight to Mrs. Arthy, wife of Captain Arthy, whose maiden name was Miss Wi nstanley, and who had been married at Beverley o n l y on the previous Tuesday week. They re paired to Scarborough to spend a portion of the honeymoon, and were residing at one of the hotels. On Sunday morn ing Captain Arthy awoke about his usual hour and found his wife a corpse by his side.

The facts are simply these—One of my junior counsel having in his possession a short manuscript story of mine called Yarns from a Yacht,' sold it for the sum of ten pounds. The publisher changed the title to ' Tales of the Squares,' thought what a yacht had to do with the squares I am at a loss to explain, My counsel subsequently informed me that the purchaser would be glad to make an arrangement with me to write similar tales for a publication he was bringing out, and the remuneration was to be £3OO a year. I agreed to this, being wishful to maintain myself in inde• pendence by my pen or brush. I think it will be easily understood that during six years' litigation for the main tenance of my honourable status, all my own means, and whatever could be afforded by my re latives and friends, have been expend e d. U p t o the present time I have had no leisure to begin writing these stories, and consequently have not received any remuneration. I really regret your account is not correct, as the want of fortune appears to have been my greatest sin, and in the present unsettled state of the marriage law fortune might yet win her way where love had been despised, and a husband yet claim a wife's earnings, as we have before seen in a memorable and aristocratic case, -- Yours truly, THEEESA YEL TERTON." , St, Stephen's Crypt, _ _ It is some years now since the late Sir Charles Barry began the restoration of this beautiful crypt, the only relic that remains to tie Ot the once un equalled St. Stephen's Chapel, unless Westminster hall and the cloisters on the east side are to be considered parts of the famous Palace, What the crypt was 600 years ago, now that it has been per. fectly restored to the splendour of its original decoration, we can judge for ourselves; but the glories of the chapel which once rose above it can only be guessed at from comparison with the crypt, or dimly admired through the traditions of anti quaries. Long before the fire which finally destroyed it, the gradual, but necessary, process of accommo dating its interior to the wants of the House of Commons, hid totally changed this once superbly decorated edifice. Mr. Fergusson, in his "Hand book of Architecrure,'► says of S. Stephen's As might be expected a priori, the gem of English art was the chapel in the Royal Palace at Westminster. On this was lavished all that the metropolis could then produce most exquisite in the arts of design, and this not in architecture only, but the best works of sculpture and the highest class of painting were put in requisition for its adornments. The dimensions were not large, being only 90ft. by 33ft. internally, and its roof was of wood, but so elaborate were its decorations that it must have cost more than many edifices three or four times its size. There can be no doubt that it was designed to sur pass everything of the sort in England, and being erected wholly within the reigns of the three first Edwards, it embraced the very best period of English art, answering to the Sainte Chapelle at Paris, which belongs to the great architec tural age of St. Louis." But , as we have said, very little of this grandeur beyond its traditiona remained till 1834, when, after having been partly burnt about a &am times, the old building finally succumbed to the great confla gration known as " the burning of the Houses of Parliament." In traditions of other kind, however, St. Stephen's, as the arena in which were fought out the great battles for England's Constitution was not inferior in historic interest to any building fire has yet destroyed. A building in which the Confes sor died, which was not new when the first Norman councils were held in England, and whioh witnessed and survived every reformation but the reformation of Parliament, must have possessed such historic associations as would leave it without an equal in this respect in Europe. But, endless as are the traditions about St. Stephen's Chapel, about the crypt beneath, with which we have now to do, there is almost none. Some of the early Edwards gave banquets in it, which must, one would think, have been genial feasts, for there is a legend that one of their Queens indulged to such intemperate extent at a banquet there as to enable her to shuffle off this mortal coil much earlier than she or her friends anticipated. After this period it was merely a crypt--a dull sort of ecclesiastical lumber-room, about which there are no records save the doubtful rumours which assign it as a place of meeting for Cromwell, Pym, Denzil Holles, and others of the Liberal party when the debates which preceded the Commonwealth were drawing to a violent close. From this time forth it seems to have been a lumber room, which was left alone in its dusty silence till used to prepare the coronation banquet of one of the early Georges—a mode of turning it to account which seems to have suggested the idea which after wards was carried out by many successive Speakers of giving their Parliamentary banquets in it. After the fire which destroyed St. Stephen's Chapel above it, but did not much injure the crypt, the gas meters used to be kept in it, and in the New Palace the site of St. Stephen's above the crypt was used in order to obtain an entrance to the present structure through Westminster-hall. All who have visited the Ne w Palace will, we are sure, have a vivid re collection of St Stephen's-hall, leading from West minsterahall to the great octagon central hall, and containing the marble effigies of Pitt, Somers, Hampden, Fox, Eldon, Clarendon, and others of our greatest and most renowned orators and states men. This hall is exactly over the crypt, which was spared by the fire, and which has now been completely restored tinder the care of the present architect to the New Palace—Mr E. M. Barry. The late Sir Charles Barry, while, in common with all other architects, he lamented the destruc tion of St Stephen's Chapel, always held as his most cherished idea the restoration of the crypt, and its re-dedication to religious uses as the pri vate chapel of the New Palace at Westminster, whose inmates are some hundreds, now that the Speaker, Black Rod, Sergeant-at-Arms, librarian, and other officials possess regular family residences within the building, and which, we believe, being necessarily extra-parochial, give no legal claim for seats in the neighbouring churches. It is some years since this restoration was commenced, and it has fallen to the lot of Sir Charles Barry's son to carry out his father's views by completely restoring and decorating the crypt, and nothing now remains to be added except the fittings to render it a chapel worthy of the most important Gothic( edifice of modern times. In the progress of this restoration the workmen came upon the embalmed body of an ecclesiastic, without any coffin, and buried under one of the window seats. The body lay with its feet towards the east—an unusual position for an ecclesiastic. It was wrapped in several folds of waxed cloth, sewn with twine. Its right hand ores on the breast, and on the left arta lay the pastoral staff, a crook of oak, beautifully carved, while on the feet were sandals, with leathern soles sharply pointed. The face was perfect in its preservation, with the hair still on the chin and upper lip. This was supposed to be the body of William Lyndwood, Bishop of St David's, the only person, it is bee lieved, who was buried in the crypt—at all events, the only one found during the course of the repairs, which were most extensive. As it appears now, the crypt is restored to all the pristine splendour of its early erection. Every tone of its rich gold and colour decorations have been, wherever they could be traced, most diligently reproduced, and the result is a chapel which, in its general richness of effect, will bear comparison with any in Europe, with the Sainte Chapelle, with the Chapter-house of ,alisbury Cathedral itself. The date of the erection of St. Stephen's Chapel and crypt is supposed to be from about A.D. 1290 to A.D. 1345, and, though the upper chapel was roofed with wood, the crypt always possessed a groyned ceiling of stone, with massive ribs and bosses, which have been carefully reinstated and restored. The bosses are in most cases original, as their fragments have been collected and put together again with great care. Some of the largest bosses are really medallion groups of historical sculpture, and contain representations of the martyrdoms of St. Stephen, St. John, St. Catherine, St. Lawrence, and also a representation of St. George and the Dragon. Some of these bosses are most quaint, es pecially the chief one, which represents the martyr dom of St. Stephen, who is clad in gorgeous robes, and being stoned by Hebrews dressed in the curious costume and long pointed shoes of the time of Chaucer, who, by the way, was himself clerk of the works during the erection of part of the crypt and chapel. Another boss, which represents the mar tyrdom of St. Catherine, is equally grotesque in its manner of telling the tale of suffering. Weird and monstrous, too, are the Gothic dragons which peer from the roof and vary these bosses, and give such appearance of originality to the whole ceiling. The crypt is of nearly the same dimensiOns as the original chapel above it—namely 90ft. long by 28ft. wide, and 20ft. high. It contains five elaborate groins, all richly decorated in gold and colours. Attached to each of the side walls aro groups of clustered columns which support the grJine. Each cluster contains five columns, which, with their capitals and bases, are all of Purbeck marble polished. The side and end walls, as well as the private entrance from the Palace, are all painted and ornamented in a manner to correspond with,the decoration of the groins, and as from the situation of the cryp' there is necessarily a deficiency of light, Mr Barry has thought - it necessary to make a liberal use of gold grounds, as a field on which the various decorations have been executed. The floor is paved with Minton'a tilt's, with en admixture of marble, the designs increasing in richness and ela boration towards the east end. The windows are all The :Royal Horticultural society. Sir Joseph Paxton, MT. is addressed the fol lowing letter to the Assistant-Secretary:- 7, Pall-mall East, London, July 20. Sir,—Having been requested to give my opinion as to the nature and character of exhibitions which the Royal Horticultural Society should encourage for the true ad vancement of horticulture and its accompanying sciences, I have draughted out this letter, in order to form a founda tion or data on which this matter can be discussed, and I trust with a good result. 1. No doubt the tesult of the society's exhibitions has in many respects been very advantageons to the cause of hor ticulture, particularly the earlier ones. They have en couraged great improvements in the culture and manage ment of plants, particularly such plants as can be pro duced in flower at what may be called the London fashionable season; but they have by no means been productive of unmixed good. They have brought into existence an un natural and artificial condition of things, which is not only objected to in the interests of gardeners themselves, but is also opposed to the interests of the public, by causing what may be termed a spasmodic effort and exertion, which at other seasons of the year is unemployed and to a great de gree unproductive. I may illustrate this by stating that a good many years ago (and the same state of things now exists to a certain extent) I called to see a first-class Londcn garden—forgetting that it was one of the exhibition days— and I found only about six or eight plants in the garden, and others having all been trained—like a horse for racing and had been taken to the show to win the stakes, In the same season, some time after this, I called again, and found the plants having been their round of racing, all flowerless, and beginning to be placed under training for the next season for the same purpose; and this training was effected by keeping some plants back and forcing others, so that they might all flower together, and such plants as would not bear this treatment were not cultivated. 2, Everyone, of course, says he has a right to do what he likes with his own plants, which I do not deny; and if a gentleman does not mind being 10 months in the year without flowers in order to make a great display, I have no fault to find with him ; all I contend for is, that should not be the main aim and scope of the exhibitors of the Horti cultural Society. In one respect the exhibitions of the pre sent day have produced a good result by giving prizes for col:ections of beautiful foliage plants, as the culture of_theso ,plants (which look beautiful all the year round) is thus stimulated, and they are a great improvement in the garden. But in other respects those great show cultivators grow very few plants which do not flower at the show season, and therefore leave the flowers which might be cultivated with great effect for other seasons of the year without much attention. 4. The true object of horticulture should be, in my opinion, to increase the enjoyment derivable from it, and to diffuse it as widely as possible; to enable the owners of gar dens to get the greatest amount of pleasure and satisfaction from their possessions, and to enable the general public to procure the greatest number of fruit flowers and vegetables in the greatest quantity, of the best kinds, and at the cheapest prices. 5. In order to carry out this, there should be something like a continuous exhibition, so that a gardener would have no interest in forcing his plants unnaturally into flower; but if be had a beau iful specimen at any time he would know he could exhibit it where it would be seen and appre ciated and its merits rewarded. When the Horticultural Society was in its palmy days, one of its great sources of benefit and attraction was the fortnight!) shows at their great room in R-gent-street. It was then the practice for any gentleman in the country, if he had a new plant or a new fruit, to send to one of these exhibitions at any time in the year, and the nurseryman brought every new plant there from their respective establishments. Dr Lindley explained the nature and properties of everything as it appeared in each exhibition with his lucid and agreeable manner, in which on this subject he has no rival, and these meetings were in tensely fashionable, and often densely crowded. 6. When the Horticultural gardens at Chiswick were the leading gardens iu the country for new plants many gardens were supplied thence, and so they were nevsr without great interest. They could not trust altogether to country gen tlemen and nurserymen for plants for exhibition, and when the entries were deficient the shows were made up of beau tiful plants from the Horticultural Gardens. Though then a Certificate of Merit from the Society meant something and was prized at a high rate, it insured the sale of any plant which received it, and often practically represented a prize of some hundreds of pounds sterling—as many nursery• men had orders before the exhibition closed for very large amounts. It therefore appears to me that these fortnightly exhibitions should be renewed at once, and every attraction given to them. And considering the increase of commercial transactions relating to horticulture, the facility of carrying anything from a distance, and the great influx of visitors into London in the season for a temporary sojourn, for the spring and summer months, it would be well to try a weekly exhibition without the descriptions, which, in point of fset, would almost amount to a continual show. And they should be held in a place suitable for plants, where many nurserymen would not mind allowing then to remain all the time they were in full flower. One or two of the great shows might be still held in the gardens, where the fashion- ables could attend to show themselves and look at each other; which they do on th,sa occasions quite as much as at the flowers. 7. It would be tao much in a letter of this sort to go into details as to how many branches of horticulture have re- mained stagnant for many years past; though it would not be irrelevant, it would occupy more space and time than I .._ can now afford to give to it. But there is one subject that has pressed upon me so long, and I am so convinced of its damaging effects upon the commercial part of the supply of the finer fruits in the public market, that I cannot help re verting to it in this letter, and that is—the growth of fruits for sale by private establishments, in competition with the market gardeners. Many gentlemen keep gardens, partly for their own use, and partly for the sale of the pro- duce, which they sell to cover part of the gardening ex penses; and this is done to a vory large extent and by some of the highest private garden establishments in the country. The result is that fruit, with all the facilities of cheap glass and cheap coal all over the country (compared with 40 years ago), is absolutely dearer than it was 40 years since; while the produce of real market gardens is perhaps 50 per cent. cheaper and 100 per cent, better, the forced fruits in which the private establishments compete have made very little progress in goodness. Ryon went to Covent-garden market between 30 and 40 years ago and looked at the fruit, you 'Would find the grapes were grown by Mr Andrews, the great market gardener at Vauxhall, Mr William Wilmot, of Is'worth, or some other good market gardener of the day, whereas, if you go there now, the same kind of fruit is from some private garden ; and supposing a large quantity of fruit is wanted for a big party, none of the great fruiterers will undertake to supply you until they have written or telegraphed to some private establishments to know what they can get. 8. The first question that naturally strikes you is— How is the public worse off for this change? I can answer ,his, I think, to everybody's conviction in a few words. A private establishment will very often sell in the early season lib of grapes or a dozen peaches, regardless of cost, at a price which it would ruin a market gardener to attempt. This price will content a private gentleman who does not know the cost of growing them, but competition at these prices would ruin any market gardener, who is nearly de terred from growing them at all ; and therefore the regu lation ct the supply of the market is left in the hands of these limited private establishments. If the market gar deners were not mot there they would try to excel each other in the cheapness and goodness of the fruit, as they do in all other things, and in a short time the market would have a regular supply at half the present cost of spring fruit, which is not attempted now on a scale large enough to compete with the great number of private establishments who send he best of their things, and pocket their losses, and the public have in consequence a very limited supply. I dare say it answers the purpose of the fruiterers very well, but it is very detrimental to the public. a ,9. And now, sir, before I close my letter allow me to say a word or two about what is done in the sale way by the Royal Horticultural Society. It is quite legitimate and right to propagate and distribute any new plants (which it has brought into the country) to Felloss, but I object tote to buying new plants, cultivating them, and ballot ing for them ; this is (allow me to say) an infringement of the legitimate business of the nurserymen, who can do h much better and cheaper than the society can.—l JOSEPH FAXTON.
