day the last of the great rose shows was }Ad at the
Metropolitan gardens. The attendance of visitors was
both large and brilliant, and the rcrms were admirably
displayed, both as regards arrangement of specimens and
grouping as to colour. The long want of rain, however,
which tells so heavily against the successful culture of
lie rose, was visible in its effects upon the general
merit of the show. It was ter from being equal to the
average of last year. As is usual in these rose COM petitions,
Messrs. Paul and Son, of Cheshunt, carried all before
them in the prizes allotted to, nurserymen. and even
gained the special extra prize given by Ir. Belk. Mr.
J. Keynes, of Salisbury, however' was a formidable
antagonist, gaining in most cases the second prize, and,

Mr. Postous carried off all the honour', and sent in
magnificent specimens of flowers, which ware seldom
equalled by the nurserymen, except when those we have
mentioned competed.

only peculiarity which at all "truck D. Buoknill was
her extreme calmness—the utter absence of any symptom
of emotion, or of any apprehension about the
consequences of her trial. Indeed her conduct, ever since
her confinement in the gaol, has been perfectly calm. No
