THE BOTANIC SOCIETY.

The first of the annual series of flower shows given
by this society for the encouragement of horticultural
science took place yesterday, in their gardens in the
. Regent's Park. To report one of these meetings to
give an account of all, as, with the ordinary alternations
of fine and favourable weather, and more or less excel-
lent collections of plants, they resemble each other most
nearly. The exhibition in question, however, certainly
surpassed, in quality and quantity, any former show;
although, necessarily, the plants a ere of the same kind
as are generally exhibited at the fetes given in this early
month of the season. The weather was not particularly
enoouraging, yet there was a very numerous attendance
of visitors. The arrangements were precisely the same as
in preceding years, and the music was well sustained by
under their masters,
bands of the cavalry household regiments in attendance
Messrs. Tutton, Waddel, and Waet-
sig. Among the company present were—the Duke of
