EXHIBITION OF TULIPS•

Mr. Groom of Walwortb, lotg known for his skill and
taste in rearing this elegant and fashionable flower, opened
his superb collection yesterday, for the private view ocon -
f bts
friends and customers. The tollection this season
sists of nearly seven hunded varieties, some of the:o of the
the ,
most beautiful and choice descrip p
tion, but owing
ungenial weather which has prevailed for some da,
they are not yet seen to ft.li advantage. Ina few
0
days, however, both those in the open air and those under
cover, it is expected, will appear in all their splendour.
The principal varieties this season are Queen Adelaide,"
imperatrix Florum," Polyphemus." ,‘ Fabius," "`Milo'
" Nourri Effendi," and " Louis XV I." The last is nearly
in full blossom, and said by good judges to be a rnagni6-
cent flower of the true breed.
The great favourite, however, is " Nourri Effendi,"
named after the Turkish Ambassador two years ago, Oh'
carried some of the choicest specimens with him to Con-,
stantinople, to adorn the walls of the Harem. The price
of this tulip is fixed at 100/. ; but it will not be in full
blossom for a week. The price for " Louis XVI" is
10/. 103., and for another, called " Pempe Funebre,"
71. 7s. The Grand Duke Alexandre, of Russia, sa
Prince Henry, of the Netherlands, who ought to be a good
judge, are expected to visit the collection. We would re•
commend Mr. Groom to put them to the test, and see if
they can beat the Turk in this innocent rivalry.

THE PRIDE OF IRELAND•

Oh, GRANA UILE !* ope wide thine arms;
Clasp to thy breast the Royal Maid,
Who, 'midst thy trembling, dire alarms,
The Despots' march to vengeance stayed I
Joy's tears upon her garment's hem
Pour fast as flows thy mountain rill;
For, 'neath her sparkling diadem,
VICTORIA smiles on ERIN Still !

Irish Sttw-
* An ancient name for Ireland.
