ROYAL. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY SOUTH Kmw-
arsoros.— As more than usual interest has bees excited by
the prises offered at the opening flower and fruit show by
One of the office-bearers of this society for the best three
groups of fruit and flowers for the decoration of the dinner-
table, we may mention one or two particulars which we
have ascertained by inquiry, and which are not to be found
specified in the advertisement. There is no restriction as to
the materials or vessels to be used ; the plainest and most
simple, as well as the most costly, are equally welcome, and
what le more, have an equal chance of mama, beautiful
arrangement being avowedly the test of merit. The groups
will be placed on tables covered with white tablecloths like
a dinner table • they may be seat either the night before or
on the morning of exhibition not later than eleven o'clock.
If emit the night before, precautions will be taken by the
superintendent to keep them cool, and if the articles con.
taming them (such as epergnes, kc.) are costly, their owners
may seed them in perfect security, as special arrangementa
ere aide for their protection. For those who prefer to
bring their groups in the morning there are facilities pro-
vided to enable them to retouch and dress their bouquets
baton placing them in position. The number of compe-
titers is expected to be very great.

meintoones sad education of the daughters of British
saffore (whether of dm Davy or of the meruhant service) and
madras, was yesterday held at Exeter-hall ' • the kiwi of
Shaftesbury in the chair. It appeared frosnthe report of
the committee that there were at present 70 iirli in the
institution, of whom 15 had been admitted during the past
year. Looking to the fact that on an average 3,000 sailors
perish annually, the committee were of opinion that there
should be • new Wang erected, capable of amenunodating
300 girls ; and that the pablie should be appealed to for
that purpose, and likewise to incrome the amount of sub-
scriptions, which at preempt avenged only 7001., or about
one-third the expenditure. The report spoke io the
most favourable terms of the wanageseerat of the school and
of the waded of the children. Them reports were adopted.
