liY CEUM THE ATHE.

A one act piece was IforadaoadatNitua9.,aPtirday entitled
Very Suspicious, which turntaba-. the prathibititm of a
widow marrying a second time under torfeitinat of her
property. Lady Emily is the you= and arming
widow of an East Indian, who, doting upon herll3 as lett
her his whole fortune,- eii the not 'attogetherupleasing
condition, that it is all la:revert_ to his natural heirs if
she should again enter the bonds of matrimony. Colonel
Eskely has been somewhat marked in his admiration,
and his conduct probably led to this harsh clause in the
deceased nabob's will. He has followed Lady Emily to
England, and even pays "h-Er-a7.1151--a-t "her country villa.
This seems -to the Buglaitesa' who are the heirs ex-
pectant, " very suspicious," and' Lady , Nightie
takes herself and Sir Barnabas down- unexpectedly,
to the villa to reconnoitre. Thus- stand matters
when the little drama commencetaln Lady Emily's
drawing-room. It is very soon pare. paws that a
secret marriage has taken . place, and Lady Bugbite's
e6phatio pointing out these symptoms mutes much of
the comady of -the piece. Lady Emily is very amiable,
but the Colonel, though high bred, is extremely iil2
patient and exacting. The petalant Colonel is further
l'aer'6e4:l by the arrival of Mr.-Augustus Sharpe,- a

&c. In addition to these addresses some memorials were
presented, the object being to represent to the Government
the importance of taking every possible-means to reduce the
price of guano, as well as to call attention to the claini made
by the Peruvian Government to the newly-diecovered Lobos
Islands. His Lordship, in reply, stated that the islands re-
ferred to, it was now ascertained, were indisputably under
the Peruvian dominion, while negotiations had for a con-
siderable period been carried on with a view to a re..

and fashion. The fruits, plants, and flowers were of

the very first order of excellence. The pitcher flowers,
Nepenthes, orchids, and ferns, displayed beneath the -tents
ol'7l‘lr. B. Edgington, of Southwark, were the gems of
the exhibition, and around them the company crowded
during the day, rendering the avenues at times almost
impassable. The appearance of the gardens was more than
ordinarily beautiful; the turf never looked more green,
or the trees more full of foliage. The rhododendrons were,
moreover, in finer blossom than in any former year.
In a word, everything was in the finest order, and displayed
triumphs of horticulture. Aniong the company were the
Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, the Duchess'of
Sutherland, the Earl and Countess Grey, the Countess of

The music, which was performed by the bands of the let
Life Guards, the Grenadier Guards, and the Coldstream
Guards, under the direction of Mr. Waddell, was, as usual,
well selected and well executed. The gold medals, which
were more than usually numerous, were awarded to the fol-
lowing candidates for various q.. eciraens: -Mr. May, Mr.
Cole, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Green, Ilir.P Carson, Mr. Blake, Mr.
