THE ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY.

The last of the floral exhibitions announced for this
season by the society was held yesterday in the Regent's-
park. Owing to the unfavourable state of the weather,
the attendance of visitors was not so numerous as usual; "
but amongst those who were present were observed the E
following :—The Duchess of St. Albans, the Duchess of
Sutherland, the Marchioness of Aylesbury, Viscountess "
Enfield, Lady Caroline Stirling, Lady de Tabley, Lady
Rokeby, Lady Catherine Cavendish, Lady Clark, Lady
M'Farlane, Lady Goldsmid, Lady Petters, Lady Buchan,
Lady Caroline Barrington, Lady Marshall, Lady Jane
Grattan, Lady Bayley, Lady Clayton East, Lady Brook,
Lady Campbell, Lady Evans, Lord Rokeby, Lord
Sands, the Bishop of Durham, the Venerable Arch- :3

Baron Goldsrnid, Prince Gholarn-Mahrnoed, Duleep Sing, Runjeet Sing, the Spanish, Greek, and Brazilian Am- 22,
bassadors, and Miss B. Coutts.
The collection in the great tent was one of exceeding s.
beauty, and the general effect produced by the concen-
tration and grouping of the choice flowers exhibited ex- 5(
cited universal admiration. Without particularising in- 5(
dividual specimens or groups, we may point to one or 2(
two new plants deserving notice, for instance " Una," a 2(
very choice seedling pelargonium, shown by Mr. Turner, if
of Slough ; and " Eclipse," a seedling calceolaria, sent 25
by Mr. Cole, of St. Albans.
The bands in attendance were those of the Royal 25
Blues and the Ist and 2d Life Guards, conducted by 25
their customary able leaders, Messrs. Sutton, Waddell, 18
and Grattan Cooke 20
