THE FLOWER SHOW.

One of those pleasing fashionable exhibitions took
place this day in the beautiful grounds of Downing
College. The fineness of the day, and the expectation
that the show would be graced by the presence of her
Majesty, contributed as much perhaps as the intrinsic
attractive character of the exhibition itself to bring a
large concourse of visitors together. About nine spa-
cious tents were erected in different parts of the ground,
within which the flowers and plants were arranged ;
military bands played for the entertainment of the com-
pany ; seats were placed beneath the trees for those who
were disposed to seek temporary repose or shelter from
the scorching rays of the sun, and many who could not
obtain seats stretched themselves on the grass, forming,
as they were seen from various points, pretty Watteau-
like groups.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by her
suite, and accompanied by the Duke of Wellington, ar •
rived at the show about three o'clock. Her Majesty
and the Prince walked over the grounds, attended by
Mr. Ashton, the secretary, and entered every tent in
which flowers were displayed ; it is unneccessary to say
that acclamations resounded wherever they appeared.
After remaining in the grounds about three-quarters of
an hour, and accepting a beautiful bouquet from Mrs.
Ashton, her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the whole of
their suite, withdrew into the house of the Master of
Downing College, where they partook of refreshment,
and the Queen was pleased to express her gratification
at what she had seen. Sir Robert Peel, Lord John
Russell, and many other persons remained conversing
beneath the portico of the Master's house, whilst the
Queen was engaged inside. Shortly after the Queen
left they also departed.
In addition to the distinguished persons already men-
tioned, we observed on the grounds the Duke of Nor-
folk, the Marquis of Abercorn, Prince Waldemar, Prince
Peter of Oldenburgh, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. H. Howard,
and Lady M. Howard, dm

For her Majesty and the Prince Chancellor were
placed splendid chairs of state, richly carved and gilt,
on either side of the Master of Trinity.
The dinner was to take place at half-past six o'clock,
at which hour precisely her Majesty, with her usual
punctuality, was led in by the Prince Chancellor, the
other Fellows and Masters in the body of the hall,
having taken their places beforehand. All the com-
pany rose on the entrance of the Queen and the Prince
Chancellor. The table was profusely decorated with
gold and silver-gilt plate, supplied by Mr. T. Reed, of
Market-hill. Before her Majesty was placed a magni-
ficent golden plateau, and on either side a frosted silver
vase of gigantic dimensions, filled with the choicest
flowers. On the other tables were ranged all the plate
belonging to the University, and a great variety of deco-
rative accessories in silver and gold. In addition to these
graces of the table, a profusion of most tasteful decora-
tions was displayed in confectionary and sugar work
with many prize bouquets of flowers.
Her Majesty and the company having taken their
seats, the Master of Trinity said the following grace:—
" Oculi omnium in to sperant, Domine,
" Et tu das escam illis in tempore.
" Aperis tu manum tuam,
" Et imples omne animal benedictione.
" Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.
" Sicut erat in principio, nunc est, et erit in secula
seculorum.

" Pater noster, qui es in ccelis, sanctificetur nomen
tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tuft,
sicut in ccelo, sic etiam in terra. Panetn nostrum quo-
tidianum da nobis hodie. Et remitte nobis debita rostra,
sicut et nos remittimus debitoribus nostril. Et ne nos
inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo.
" Mensre ccelestis partieipes nos faciat Rex mternm

" Oremus.

" Benedic, Domine, nos et dons, tua, qua) de largitate
tua sumus sumpturi, et concede ut illis, salubriter nutriti
tibi debitum obsequium prwstare valeamus, per Christum
Dominum nostrum. Amen.
" Deus Caritas est, et qui manit in Caritate in Deo
manet, et Deus in eo: Sit Deus in nobis et nos maneamus
in ipso."
After dinner the Master of Trinity said the following
grace: _ _

" Tibi laus, tibi gloria, tibi gratiarum Actio in sempi-
terna secula, 0 Beata Trinitas.

" Benedicamus Patrem et Filium cum Spiritu Sancto,
" Laudemus et superexaltemus eum in secula.
" Benedictus es, Domine, in firmamento cceli,
" Laudabilis et gloriosus et superexaltatus in secula.
" Magnificate Dominum mecum,
" Et exaltemus nomen ejus in idipsum.
" Domine, exaudi orationem meam,
" Et clamor meus ad to veniat.

" Domine sancte, Pater omnipotens, mterne Deus, qui
tam benigne hoc tempore nos pascere dignatus es, largire

gratias agames, vitam honeste ac pie transigamus, et
studia ea sectemur qum tuam gloriam illustrare, et
Eeclesia3 two adjumento esse possint, per Christum
Dominum nostrum. Amen.

" Infunde, qumsumus, Domine Deus, gratiam tuam in
mentes nostras, ut his donis datis ab Henrico Octavo
fundatore nostro, Regina Maria, Edvardo Tertio, et
Henrico de Stanton, aliisquo benefactoribus nostril,
recte ad tuam gloriam utentes, una cum illis qui in fide
Christi decesserunt ad ccelestem vitam resurgamus, per
Christum Dominutn nostrum. Amen.
" Deus pro sue' infinite dementia Ecclesire sum con-

Principem Albertum, Albertum Walliae Principem,
totamque Regiam Familiam conservet, ac pacem Regno
universo et omnibus Christiania largiatur. Amen.
The dinner lasted from half-past 6 till 8 o'clock. The
band during dinner played it choice selection of music.
A most sumptuous dessert, with the rarest wines and
richest prize fruit, having been placed on the tables,
The Rev. Dr. WHEWELL, Master of Trinity, rose and
spoke as follows:—May it please your Majesty—My
Lords and Gentlemen,—l have received her Majesty's
gracious permission to propose a toast. lam allowed to
propose a toast which we are in the daily habit of drink-
ing at this table—" the health of her Majesty the Queen."
—(Three times three, loud and long-continued cheers.)
During the first three cheers her Majesty stood and
graciously bowed three several times to the assembled
company. Her Majesty sat down during the remainder
of the cheers, and after they were finished seemed good-
naturedly to chide the Master of Trinity for the up-
roarious enthusiasm of the company.
The band having played the National Anthem,
The Master of TRINITY rose and said—l have received
the gracious permission of her Majesty to propose another
toast. It is the health of one for whom we also daily
pray in his hall as for ourselves. It is "The health of
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Chancellor of this
University."
The cheers which greeted this toast were loud and
long-continued. They had scarcely subsided when her
Majesty and the Prince Chancellor rose, about half-past
eight o'clock, and, leading the way, the other guests at
the upper table speedily retired from the hall, the band
playing the National Anthem.
At nine o'clock a grand reception took place at Trinity
Lodge, where the Vice Chancellor, the Masters, Tutors,
Professors, and other authorities of the University, with
their ladies, were presented to her Majesty.
Mr. Green ascended this evening in his grand installa
