The Crysanthemums in the Temple Gardens.

When the beauty of the flower garden has all but passed
away, and Flora, alarmed by the nightly frosts which
winter sends before him to proclaim his coming, is preparing
to take her departure, she bestows upon us, ere she goes,
one of tha choicest of her gifts, the crysanthemum. That
this long neglected flower is capablept being cultivated into
a first-class one is most indisputably shown by the brilliant
display at present to be seen in the Temple Gardens —thanks
to the care and industry of Mr. Samuel Broome. In the
gardens of the Inner Temple the collection is immense ;
every size, shade, and form is there. from the pretty di-
minutive pompone to the magnificent and gigantic crysan-
themum, the Queen of England, all, without exception,
flourishing most luxuriantly. A small portion of the upper
parterre has been covered with glass, and here the flowers
have reached unusual perfection, so that if the
arrangement has been tried as an experiment, the
result must have given the utmost satisfaction to all in.
terested in the beauty of the gardens.. Amongst the lowers
that at once arrest attention, is Progne, a magnificent tall
flue- formed carmine flower ; Novelty, a pure white ; Gene-
Tel Slade, Golden Queen, Grand Sultan, Aimas Ferriere, a
beautiful incurued lower, silver white, delicately tipped
with rose, Dupont de l'Eure, Seraph, Cleopatra, Cherub,
another splendid incurued flower, Lord Palmerston, and
.collection
Beverley,
.the &nest specimen, in our opinion, in the whole
The flower is a pure white, and the petals so
work. The
beautifully formed that it has all the appearance of wax
ponspones are exceedingly brilliant in variety and
as endless as the crysanthemurns. The:lnner,Templars may
well feel proud in the possession of such a splendid collec-
tion, and cannot but be thankful to Mr. Broome, for the
care he has bestowed in their cultivation. The Middle
Temple Gardens, though not so extensive, are equally re-
markable for their floral beauties, and notwithstanding the
limited area, Mr. Dale shows, with great success, how
lunch can be accomplished where the open apace is limited.

The gardens are open daily to the public, but those who
wish to view the crysanthemnms must not delay their
visit.

During the last few days there has been less
excitement in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets. Sugar, however, has been in
steady request at fully late rates. Coffee
nets been dull, and inferior descriptions have
slightly declined, while rice, fruit, and spices have
been dealt in to a moderate extent without any
material change in values. The tallow market has
been dull, chiefly in consequence of the unsettled
state of political affairs in Russia and Poland.

Two O'CLOCK.

At a general meeting of the shareholders to-day
of the Hudson's Bay Company—Sir Edmund Head
presiding—a dividend of ss. per share was declared.
As the principal sales took place in January and
March, the accounts of the company were not made
up till May, and until that time arrived the direc-
tors felt it to be impossible to fix the actual profit
dividend for the year, bat from the prospects of the
fur trade, and the general aspect of affairs, it was
considered justifiable to recommend the dividend
before mentioned.

There is no material alteration to note in the
market for the English Funds, the small amount of
business that has been entered into having taken
place at the quotations current yesterday afternoon.
The general condition of the market appears to be
good, an improving tendency having been induced
by the greater confidence now felt in monetary
prospects. Consols remain at 92f y for money, and
at 91a 2, less the dividend, for the account. The
New Threes and Reduced Annuities have improved
to 904 91 ; the New 2f per Cents. are 761; Exche-
quer Bills, 2s. to ss. dis: Bank Stock is marked
235 237 ; India Stock, 224 ; the 5 per Cent. Loan,
108-a- 109, and the 4 per Cent. ditto, 1001 a. The
Debentures are 991, and the Bonds 3s. to 9s. prem.
In the Foreign Market there is not so much
buoyancy, and business is dull. Turkish 6 per

been very active, but prices have shown more firm-
ness. London and Brighton have improved la ;
Bristol and Exeter, 10s.; and Great Western, ss.
Great Eastern have receded 54., and Metropolitan

The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
change of importance.
Bank Shares are in some instances at slightly
enhanced rates, London and Brazilian having im-
proved to 521 53 ; London and Westminster to 78f
791.
In the Miscellaneous Market prices are also
firmer. Discount Corporation realise 11 1 ; General
