The Directors have. In conclusion, to announce Gat, in conse-
quence of the magnitude to which the badness of the London
°Moe has att lned, they have for some tame pest had under con-
sideration the expediency of granting to the London Branch,
equally with Aberdeen. the status and privileges of a heal °ace,
and investing the London Directors with powers similar to these
conferred upon the general Board by the set of Incorporation.
By such an arrangement much inconvenience now felt In con-
ducting the badness of the London Branch would be avoided.
On the tali April hub a contemnes on the subject took place In
London between the two Boards, and the result was a rnanimons
resolatioa to apply to Tartlet:tient in the nest session for a new
act to carry the proposed arrangement Into effect, and otherwise
to altar, amend, sod consolidate the Compeers present acts and
contract of copattnery.

ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY OF LONDON. —The
second summer fete of this society took place on Saturday
under the most favourable circurustanoes ; the day as suit-
able as could be wished, the company very numerous and
fashionable, sod the flowers and fruit unusually fine.
Azaleas, pelargoniums, calceolarias, and rare curious orchids
delighted thr eye with their varieties and beauty of colour
and form, and combined as they were with the softer tinted
'loathe,' fairy looking ferns and many carious and rare pleats,
the whole formed a coop Wail of greet magnificence. The
orchids were particularly flee and numerous ; the polar-
Lenin= were well flowered and unusually large pleats.
The &Wass, although it is rather late in the season for
them, were splendid. Among the smaller specimens of
plants, we noticed some pretty variegated petunias, the
bright purple colour in which forms aster, and some very fine
varieties of mieculks, which were both large and distinctly
marked. Amongst the geraniums were variegated, the
horse-shoe: bright red, and some almost • purple.
These and some new bedding plants were exhibited by
Henn: Henderson and Son, of St. John's-wood, together
with some new bedding out plants—the abretoa campbelli,
—a pretty dwarf blue plant—and the phlox Louis*
Grill, variegated red and white. Messrs. Veitch and
See, as usual, bad some very curious sod rare
plaids, among them stareputa paradoxa loonies--a pleat
with • large skeleton liaised& flower like • club ; and hemp-
feria rotoorenna, which has two large brown velvety leaves
and a white flower in the oeutre. A splendid white lily from
Japan—lilium sunustum—attracted much attention. The
cat MOM were finer than any we have before 0060. The
show of fruit of all kinds was spleedid. The collection of
passim included mime curious inane oars, and there ware
some handsome peosies and other cut flowers. Mr. Waterer'.
Americo plants are now in full bloom, and form an exhi-
bition in themselves. The bands of the Ist Life Guards
sod the Royal Horne Guards (Blue) performed selections of
music during the afternoon. Amongst the visitors were the

Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburg &MHz, the Bishops of
Wischartat, Lichfield, and Oxford, the Earl sad Counties
De la Warr. Earl Mansfield. Marchioness of Westminster,

deacon of Ely, reedited vacant by the sodden denims of the
Venerable Francis Frame, has been filled up by the crown
minectier the Rev. William Emery, 8.D., Senior Fellow and

of the social and religious work io Cambridge. The veer-

of the parochial schools, there was an overwhelming con-
gregation, persons from all pasta of Loudon heeler atteeded

churches. Some emetics ego the Bishop of London mini-
sated the Rev. William Rogers, one of her Majesty's chap-
lains, to the rich living of Bishopsgete. Mr. Rogan Mein
been at Balliol College, was a personal friend of Mr. Jowett,
sod it was rather on that account, it is supposed, that he
invited him to preach, than in his character of a writer in
" Emmy* and Reviews." The Dean of Westminster (Dr.
Stanley) reed the communion service, misted by the rector,
after which Professor Jewett emended the pulpit, and se-
lected for his teat the 18th chapter of St. John's Gospel,

The rev, gentleman, in the course of his eerrom, spoke of
the mysterious micas of Christ with God, and remarked
that while no elaborate disquisitions or speculation' would
throw light on the matter, the way in which it could be
realised was by seeing that nape of his children on earth
were lost—children, pupils, servants. a others over whom
they had authority. A little care might do everything for
them, especially in early We. He could Dot understand
how men could turn away from such plain duties. and re-
main Christians at all. He contended that real religion
confined, not in the acceptance of doubtful matte' of
history, bat in the blameless power of the Christian lie,
and those who understood that principle would not be
alarmed by whet was going on in the church around them.

Dag&lad of today says :—" Sleswig-Holstein,
as a separate' State within! the monarchy, is
inoompatible with Denmark's rights and honour.
No Danish King can listen to such a plan. A
government inclined to such a proposal would soon
learn that the people will sot sacrifice their national
independence at any price."

A meeting of delegates from 107 political associa-
tions took place here to-day, at which it was re-
solved to issue an appeal to the inhabitants of
North Sleswig, expressing the views of Holstein on
the pending questions ; those views being in the
words of the resolution :—" No separation of the
duchies ; no division of Sleswig ; and a free and
independent Sleswig Holstein as far as the Ko-
nigsau."
