ROYAL HORTICE'LTIISAL SOCIRTY. —Yesterday the
test grand flower show of the season under the empire' of
this society took place in the gardens at South Kensington.
Despite • somewhat gloomy moraine the attendance was
extremely numerous. At an early boar their Royal High-
seems the Prisons of Wales and the Primers Louis of
Hness, attended by Lady Morton, de Gruicy, and
Lord Harris, honoured the gardens with their premium ; and
amongst the other more diatioguished visitors wore the
Duchess of Wellington, the Marohioame of Waterford,
Viscountess Combermere, Led, Holmdel°, the Marchimees
of Bath, the Countess of Aylesford, Lady 'Arica Thynoe,
Dads Talbot, Lady Ramer*, the Barmier de Rothschild,
Lard Taunton, the Duke of Boodench, Lord A.
Churchill, the Duke of Richmood, the Duke of Montrose,
Lord Henry Leeson, Sir Wentworth Dille, Bart, he.
The lower' were exhibited in the comervakey. end is three
of the greed arcades ; and the general opinion expressed
amongst the spectators was that sever had • more effective
display been se under similar circumstance. Having re.
prod the period of the year, it may well be imagined
that the azaleas were the most conspicuous objects of
attraction, but these were mod agreeably "countenaseed "
by the pelargoniums, the orchids (more especially the Cat.
lays sod the Lcelia class), the rhododendrons, the roses, sod
the Cape heaths, besides,maoy other flowers which, though
not lees beautiful, do not rear their modest bead■ sufficiently
high to be " the observed of all observers." The display of
fruit was necessarily of very modest preteesioaa ; but the
few pineapples, peaches, moterime, strawberries, he., that
were seen were sufleieotly tempting to divert the eye for
the moment from the floral beauties mooed. In addition
to the flower show a portico of the building was set apart
for the exhibition of ornaments intended for table
and drawing-room decoration. These were for the
most part of glass or white china, the latter
being manufactured by Meyers. Mintoe .from designs by
ladies and gentlemen, and by many well-known members of
the glass and china trade. Amongst the more distin-
guished exhibitors in thin department were Mum
Phillip, of Bood-street, and Masers. Goode, of South
Andley-street, the latter having keg signalized them-
selves by the production of those designs in wbite
china which are now imlnded amongst the most charm-
log ornament' of the drawing-room and the dinner-
table. In addition to the award d the judges, there were
certain prime peen by Sir Wentworth ante, for the three
best groups of fruits and dowers for the decoration of the
table ; and them were distributed as follows :—First prize,
Mrs. Worthington Bliss ; second prize, Mee March, St.
James', Palace ; third prize, Miss Whit. Highly com-
mended lady Holoadale and Mrs. James eatbush.
Vietionctess Comberroere and Lady Emily Peel. There
was also a prize of 10/. granted by the proprietors of the
°ardour's Chronicle, and this was awarded to Mrs.
Dombraie, of Deal, for • specimen of fern, that lady Wog
the only candidate for this honour, though two prises were
offered from the came mama
