The Sun.
London, England, 1852-07-05 00:00:00

praised the wonderful roots and fruits, till the ctottagers
begin to dream of beating all Digland. It is p lemant to
tbrek of the interestabout the weather—hitherto tand-
ing joke against the farmers—extending to many who
i have till now had but few interests at all. Th ere are
many who once let.cloud and sunshine pass over them
unobserved, and cared for frost and drought only as
they were in want of fire and water—many who grow
quick and observant about the atmosphere an, 3 the
hours, and lose their listlessness in those innocent soli-
ci!udes about vegetation which are one of the char ma of
rural hie. It is pleasant to thiLlt of the new tie e istab-
Jibbed between town and country, when the corintry
people strive for the verdict of the town, aced the
townspeople owe a new pleasure to their hatable
neighbours of the lanes and fields. It is pie:mint to
see how the dwellers in dim streets and narrow E tires
become eager about allotments, and handle the spade
in the evenings instead of the pint pot. It is Ple!'s"nt
to see the young gateir g knowledge, even ocience,
through the channel which oveilliws at the same
time with health and pleasure. It is all pleasant—revery
aspect of the fact of the growth of horticulture, ailown
in the increasing popularity of fbwer-shows—from that
of Chiswick and the Royal Botanical to—where is the
bottom of the scale ? There is an end of the scale; for
there are too many places in &Aland still where there
are no popular pursuits or interests at all—still nothing
bet-er than the public house. There is no suitable
ground for cricket—the people have forgotten how to
wrestle—they never hear any music—there is no theatre,
g.,od or bad—there is no reading-room. One sober
outh tries to understand geometry, end another makes
a little museum of mineralogy : but there is no common
inter( sr, and no timusr.nient out of the public house. A
stray lecturer, perhaps comes, makes a sew of them un-
easy, and goes away where he does not see them drop
back into drink, simply from having nothing else to du.
Why have these people no gardenia Ah! wh) ? Ask
gentry why. Press the landowners for a reason why
there should not be, in all their wide neighbourhood, a
garden for every man who can pay rent for it, and
flower-shows, the whole summer through, for all who
love to look at flowers, and all who would be proud to
grow them.

Tam MINISTRY.—Mo,t of the members of the Go-
vernment who belong to the Lower House of Peril; went are
already busy in their elections. The Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer is perhaps the exception, for, being certain of no
oppo-ition, he has not thought it necessary yet to take any
active measures tor his return. Mr. Spencer Walpole, too,
remains in town for the present ; but this Right Honourable
Gentleman sits for a very safe borough, Midhurst. Mr.
Henley left town on Saturday, though ( fficial busineFs recallst
him to London this day. Sir John Pakington left for Wne:rs
