GREAT QUEEN-STREET.
_

The public attention was particularly attracted by
an ruttrely nowt-Linos' interesting, and curiously va-
ried exhibition in that street, which bears the name
of the object on whose account these splendid Mine
initiations have taken place—we mean Great Queen-
street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. The rah:billet, al-
bided to was a nice beautiful display, by Iran*
patent paintings, of the Lingle:in System of Bo-
tany, including the dosses, the orders, and splendid
examples of the 39 natural orders of that eminent
Naturalist. The plants end flower. were magni-
fied considerably shore their natural sizes, which
had • magical effect on the admiring crowd, and
often gave rise to a burst of ■pplaose.—
Nothing WAS witnessed last evening to equal this
exhibition in splendour, and we think it highly
worthy of the attention of the public, not only on
account of the correct representations and splendid
execution, but as illustrative of a science every way
interesting, and valuable, as making us acquainted
with that part of the works of creation which
affords us food for OUT bodies, fruit to please the
taste, flower. to gratify the sense of smelling, and
the most v.loable medicines to remove the various
eli•rasrs to which the human frame is subject.
