CRYSTAL PALACE.

The show of 'wows.. .watt orti at the
Crystal Palace was opened yesterday at noon, and during
the remainder of the day attracted the notice of an un-
usually large number of visitors. The show, although not
larger than common, presents many points of exceptional
excellence. The most striking and attractive Bowers ex-
hibited are roses, dahlias, hollyhocks, asters, and gla.
dioli ; while the fruits embrace grapes, poaches, nec-
tarines, melons, and a pelt variety of apples and pear .
As might be expected at this season of the year, the col-
lection of roses is small, but the blooms exhibited are of
more the n average merit. The show of fruit is Una,
and as far at all events as grapes and pine apples are
concerned, uncommonly good. The bunches of both
black and white grapes are large and well grown ; and
many of the pines, besides being well shaped end well
ripened, are much beyond the ordinary weight. Peaches,
nectarines, and melons, too, are all good ; and as far as one
may judge of apples and pears without submitting them
to the test of tasting, the specimens of thee. humbler or-
naments of the dessert table leave little to be desird.
Upon several of the stands there are exhibited vines, as
well as apple and pear tree, grown in pots, all heavily
laden with fruit. The show will remain open to-day and
to-morrow.

Tan Naw Font!Ar.—A large portion of land
near the Lyndburst-read station in the New Forest has
just been enclosed for the purpose of growing timber.
Only oaks and beeches are planted in the forest, and their
growth is protected by the previous planting of firs. There
are now only about 100 deer in the forest, and they are
chiefly met with in the neighbourhood of Fritham end
Beaulieu Manor, when there is good cover for them.
Foxes abound, and they keep the game from being too
plentiful. Mr. Pownall, the Middlesex magistrate, has
recently purchased a beautiful retreat at Woodlands, neer
Lyndhurst, one of the loveliest parts of the forest.
