THE ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY.-011e of an adven-
turous score who yesterday visited the first exhibition of
Ameridan plants of the season, we proceeded, at about
five o'clock, up a melancholy alley of the Regent's-park,
where not a soul was stirring—not even a solitary park-
man. The unrelenting rain was doing its Worst, and
the very gravel, generally so absorbent, was mere yellow
mud. On approaching the gate, not one single ghost of
a vehicle was visible, to carry away the visitors who
was not there, and not one single drenched and shivering
figure flitted round the door to take the tickets which
would never come. The portal stood invitingly open,
.and we entered, marking in the little wooden house on ,
the right a solitary individual, who looked like Robinson
Crusoe. Learning from this gentleman that another
show of American plants would be held in a week—
understanding also that the rain was not penetrating
the tents to any degree—and assuming from these cir-
cumstances that a good many of the best specimens
would hold good until yesterday se'nniglit, we decided
against wet grass and more or less dripping trees, and,
like all the rest of the flower-show haunting tribe, the
solitary twenty alone excepted, we concluded to post-
pone our examination until under more propitious influ-
ence of breeze and sunshine.
AMSTERDAM AND. ROTTERDAM PRODUCE-MARKETS.—
The weekly reviews from these markets state that busi-
ness continued inactive, and that there was no great
alteration in prices. Although very little had been done
in coffee, quotations were supported, holders not having
exhibited a disposition to force sales. ' The rates for
,sugar, raw and refined, scarcely presented any change.
The better descriptions of rice had been in request, and
prices in some cases were rather firmer. Indigo was
maintained at about previous quotations, From Ant-
werp and Hamburgh the accounts represent a similar
position of trade.

ALLAN G. HAY.

merchant, and to-day was appointed for choice of
