VEGETATION IN TETE TEMPLE GATIDETTE. —IL is well
worthy of remark that Mr. Broome considers that at no
time in his experience has the vegetation of these vener-
able gardens been so healthy as during the present year.
Some old hawthorns hays flowered rather vigorously— a
circumstance he has not before noted ; and he has been
able to rear two or three white roses, no red ones. He
thinks it is owing, in some measure, to the steam-packets
and manufactories near the river not sending us so much
of their smoke now as formerly. Perhaps when we
get more completely rid of the metropolitan smoke the
red and white roses may once more bloom in the Temple.

MYSTEIZIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE AT `WHITBY.—On the
night of Monday, Nov. 26, between 9 and 10 o'clock, a
woman dressed in black, and apparently middle-aged,
walked backwards and forwards for some time in Beg-
dale, Whitby, with an infant in her arms. She entered
into conversation with several persons, asking them
where Ur. Keane, the incumbent of the parish, resided.
She ultimately accosted a little girl named Pinkney,
and having given her the infant, directed her to take it
to Mr. Keane's to be baptised, and that either she or
" Mary Jane Brown" would await her return. The
girl Pinkney accordingly carried the babe to Mr.
Keane, who told her to take it away and bring its
mother. The " woman in black" was, however, not to
be found, and Pinkney, after pacing the street with her
strange burden, being afraid to go home, and crying
loudly, attracted the notice of a woman named Tagart,
who took the infant back to Mr. Keane'e, and, by his
direction, retained it. It was eventually taken to the
poorhouse, where, after etrong convulsions, it died on
Tuesday night. It was a female child, and appeared to
be about three days old. In order, if possible, to afford
some clue to the unnatural mother, Mr. Stonehouse,
photographic artist, has taken collodion pictures of iis
body for exhibition. Before its death, it was baptised
" Mary Jane Brown." The York herald of Saturday
states that the offender has not yet been traced.
