noon a deputation toesistiog of E. Wilson, Eaq. (vice-pre-
sident of the Acclimatisatiest Society of Great Minna, and

Walsh, Esq., and D. Mackinnon, Eq., had an interview
with hie Grace the Duke of Somerset, at the Admiralty, ad
laid before him • statement of their views as to the feasi-
bility of obtaining the aid of her Majesty.' navy is assidiug
the cannot accbmstisation. Mr. W daps made • statement
Notting forth the importune and present position of the vari-
ous efforta being made to interchuge various natural producta
between countries, and to introduce novelties of importance.
Re concluded by sung that the efforts now being so 'made
deserved better encounireeneot than to be left to the tender
mercies of the purser's mates, cooks, or butchers of the
merchant navy, and appealed to the duke to allow such
vessels of the navy ea were not being need for more im-
portaot purposes to be detached for this service. His
grace au afraid that he could sot detach vessels specially
for such purposes. It was usual in this country to leave
such operations to the enterprise of private individuals.
Mr. James Lowe said that it was not without precedent for
her Majesty's Navy to be employed is aiding sr anti& ob-
jects. There were Sir Joseph Rinks'. expedition, and the
voyage of the Blood*, and the Arctic expeditions. The
duke replied that these were isolated operations ; but what
was asked for seemed to be a continuous service. Mr. Mac-
kinnon said that the Australian colonies bad already ex-
pended thousands of pounds in the eadvevour to transport
salmon, but had failed for want of a proper veined. After
some discnseion, the duke said that he was afraid he could
not devote vet/vide specially to the proposed object, but that
he might consider whether he could not allow the societies
to avail themselves of the aid of her Majeaty's vessels, if
the captains could be interested to the object.. Eveotually
it was understood that his grace would wander the subject,
and see the deputation again upon it.
WESTON'S RETREAT, KENTISH TOWN.—An appli-
cation for a wine license to Weston's Retreat, • pleasure
garden in Kentish-town, was made on Thursday before the
St. Pancras hooch. The application was objected to 'by
some inhabitants of the neighbourhood, repreeeoted by Mr.
Copestake, who bad previously sought for an injunction in
the Court of Chancery against the proprietor of the retreat,
to restrain him from continuing the conduct of the gar-
dens, which were to them a nuisance. The same pieties pe-
titioned the bench oo Thur.day, and after the case had been
argued by counsel, the chairmen said the bench, who had
considered the matter in private for some time, were of
opinion that these premises were not a confectiorier's shop
or an eating-house within the mulling of the act ; and they
also thought that the place was disqualified for the sale of
wine. The effect of this decision is that both panne will
be heard at a urine to be holden foe that purpose, when, if
the magistrates adhere to their opinion, the wine license
cannot be granted by the excise.
