HORTICULTURAL GARDENS.

The third and concluding fete for the season, which was
postponed from Saturday, was held on Tuesday. Although
the gardens were not i❑ the same crowded state as on the
previous occasion, the numbers present may, at a moderate
computation, be stated at upwards of 7,000.
Amongst other eminent patrons of horticulture we no-
ticed the Earl of Burlington, Lord Sondes ; Sirs C. Hulse,
H. Rycroft, W. Curtis, H. Willuck, P. G. Egerton, and
Trayton Drake ; General Biatchford, Colonel Challieur,
&c. The exhibition was considered by judges to be one of
the best for the season ; and the collections of roses, pelar-
goniums, calceolarias, and geraniums were unique. The
fruit was also very fine, and particularly the peaches.
Amongst other varieties we noticed several specimens of
the edible passifiora, exceeding six inches in length. The
bands of the Coldstream, Royal Horse Guards Blue, and
Grenadier Guards were in attendance ; and many of the
company did not separate until a very advanced hour. The

From all quarters we learn that tot only the 1113:
harvest and the prospect of fruit in the cider and p 0r.7
counties, but that the grain of all sorts, hops and potatoes,
bear the most promising prospect of abundance.—Tirisa
Journal.

The Marquis of Hertford's beautiful villa and
grounds in the Regent's-park, were thrown open •on Mondsi
night to the whore fashionable world, with one of those
splendid fetes for which his lordship's refinement rand taste sr°
so well known. Upwards of 1,000 cards of invitation, we un-
derstand, were issued, and nearly the whole Were accepted'
the line of carriages at one time forming a double line from
the villa nearly to the New-road ; but the regulations were
judicious, and no material inconvenience arose front the num'
ber of guests, which included all the elite of rank and fashion.
The grounds, upper lawn, and flower garden, and lake, with
the facade of the pavilion, St. Dunstan's tower and clock,
&c., were most brilliantly illuminated with innumerable varie-
gated lamps; on the lawn were several devices, formed of
coloured lamps, representing palm trees, drooping willows,
orange trees, &c. The flight of marble steps, communicat-
ing from the upper to the lower lawn, was made avelilable for
the first time, and it is an improvement, where improvement
appeared next to an impossibility. The columns on either side
of it, supporting busts of the Caesars, were also illuminated-
Some splendid marquees were erected by Mr. B. Edgingtono
and formed an agreeable retreat from the heat of the ball'
room. The whole arrangements, as night approached,- pre-
sented a scene truly oriental in splendour and may,nificence.
The company began to arrive before ten o'clock 1 and after,
passing through the vestibule, were received in the 'blue-striped
reception-room by the noble host (who appeared in better health
than usual), and his youngest son, Lord Yarmouth, and Count
and Countess Emanuel Zichy, &c. The elegant ball rooms
(called the Russian saloon) was thrown open, brilliantly
illu-
minated by a new and costly chandelier, by Hancock and Rixont
with side branches, girandoles, &c. Weippert's full quadrille
band were stationed in the orchestra, and about 11 o'clock the
ball was opened with a new set of quadrilles. Lord Yarmouth
who has recently arrived from the continent, on a visit to bit,
father, and was present for the first time on such an occa-
sion, appeared amongst the most animated and graceful ill
tho dance. Many distinguished foreigners were present.
Amongst the number was the Duke of Elchingen, second son
of Marshal Ney. About one o'clock, a sumptuous supper, con'
sisting of innumerable removes, was served up to the numerous
visiters in the new supper rooms, the whole arrangements be-
ing excellent. Occasionally during the night crimson, green,
and gold coloured Bengal lights illuminated the whole horizon-
A military band was stationed on the lawn, and during the in-
tervals of the dance performed a variety of pleasing con=
sitions. The festive dance was kept up till past
on Tuesday morning. The whole arrangementa.were un-
der the able direction of Mr. Mackay, of his Lordship's house-
hold. The company, we have already said, included all tbo
Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, and the principal nobility
and gentry in town.
