PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

The Commissioners on forms of Process and
Courts of Appeal in Scotland, have made their
Report. It occupies no less than 367 folio pages.
The following regulations are proposed for adop-
tion in the Court of Teinds

" That in regard to the judicial powers of the Court of
Teinds, it would be highly adviseable anti expedient, that they
should be exercised by the Court, in either of its divisions as in
ordinary civil causes. The Commissioners, therefore, humbly
propose, that all actions of valuation and sale of Teinds, and
all localities and questions connected therewith, and generally
all legal questions, which at present can be competently tried
and determined by tl►e court of Teinds, or by t►►e Lord Ordinary
under remits front that court, should, in future, be brought be-
fore one or other of the divisions of the Court of Session, sitting
as Cmnmissioners for Teinds, and should be prepared before the
junior Lord Ordinary, as nearly as possible, according to the
forms above recommended for civil actions, anti that the Lord
Ordinary should not only have power to report his opinion to the
Court as at present ; but should also have power to pronounce
judgment in the cause, or in case of difficulty, to take the cause
generally to report, in which the forms of carrying the cause to
the Inner House for decision should be the same, as nearly as
possible, as the Commissioners have recommended in other
causes; and that one judgment of the Lord Ordinary on the
merits should be final in the Outer House, and one judgement
of the division final in the Inner House."

ROTANIC,ALAND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY,

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.

The first Show of Fruits, &c. of this recently-
establisbed Society took place at the Long Room of the Turk's
Head Inn, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on Monday the 23d instant,
and, considering the infant state of the Society, exhibited a dis-
play that was every way gratifying, and maned to give promise
of that success ultimately, which cannot fail to be of eminent
benefit and utility to the district, which comprises Durham,
Northumberland, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The Peaches
and Grapes furnished from the gardens of the Bishop of Dun-
' lIAM, at Auckland Castle, struck us as being of an extremely
rich and exuberant growth; as were also the Grapes from
Whitehill (the seat of Isaac Cookson, Esq.), as well as the
samples produced from Fenham HMI (James G. Clarke's,
Esq.), and those from Mr. Askew's at Red lleugh. Some
very fine Melons and Pine-apples were also exhibited from
other Gentlemen's gardens in the neighbourhood, part of which
was grown upon the grounds of A. Cresswell Baker, Esq., at
Creswell: the richest and finest Gooseberries we ever saw came
from this Gentleman's gardens. Some very rich Grapes and
other fruits were sent from Woolsington, the seat of Matthew
Bell, Esq. In short, the offerings of Pomona were luxuriant
in the extreme. It is only matter of regret, that in a hasty
communication of this sort, it is impossible to do justice to all
the claimants. The official Report of the Secretary only can
be looked up to for that fullness of information, which a sub.
ject sa highly interesting unquestionably deserves.

Aker the Committee had duly examined the various fruits,
&c. which had been brought to the Exhibition, assigning to
each sample the label of its merit, preparations were made for
alinner, and a little after five o'clock upwards of !Oa Gentlemen
sat down to at least a substantially furnished table. Amongst
the company present we recognized Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart.
M.P., Thomas Beaumont, Esq. ALP., Chas. W. Bigge, Esq.,
Charles Clavering, Esq., Dixon Brown, Esq., James G.
Clarke, Esq., W. Shaw, Esq., (Usworth-House), A, Cress.

son. Esq., Thomas Cookson, Esq., Thomas Fenwick, Esq.,
•S. W. Parker, Esq., W. Peters, Esq., Warren M. Lamb,
Esq., Armover 'Dunkin, Esq. &c. The Chair was filled by
Oran I..rs W. Berme:, Esq. in his usual felicitous manner,
though we regret to state his occupancy of it lasted only a
short while, being summoned into the country on particular
business about an hour after the cloth was drawn. CHAR Lts
Cr.a,vEntaro, Esq. took the vacated sent, and discharged its
arduous duties with great attention and talent, befog ably sup-
ported by James Graham Clarke, Ea+ as Vice. President—
. must not forget to observe, that the Latin Grace of Non
NOW Own, was sung in very fine style by three gentlemen
amateurs. The detail of the toasts we shall waive, merely re-
' marking that they issued from the Chair and the Vice. Chair in
tke happiest manner, with reference to the occasion of the
aloeting. In point of fact, nothing could exceed the plea-
surable recreation of the evening. Every one present seemed
to hail with heartfelt satisfaction a new eras in this district, in
the elegant and useful science of horticulture." a science
which"—it was justly observed by one of the speakers (Mr.
Higge)—" was alike beneficial to all classes of the community,
contributing, as it did; most essentially to their pleasures and
comforts."

On drinking the healthy of the Members for Northumberland,
and for Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Mr. BEAU MONT and Sir M.
W. ItityLEY severally returned thank., in neat and appropriate
terror; as did also Mr. Alderman FORSrun, when the Mayor
and Corporation of Newcastle were given.
The VICE•I'IIESIDENT gave, in very handsome terms, the
health of a Gentleman to whom the Society were much indebt.
ed ; he meant Mr. Falb, of Gateshead.

Mr. FALLA, jun., rose and acknowledged the compliment
paid his father (whose absence that day was unavoidable) in
very neat and appropriate language.
On the health' of the Committee of Management being
drank (and indeed they well merited the compliment, for the
excellent and efficient arrangements they had made) 0. A.
LAMBERT' Esq. rose and returned thanks in suitable terms.
The fine band of the Ist Regiment of Dragoons attended in
the Orchestra, and contributed by their sprightly music not a
little to the general entertainment. Some fine singing, at in•
tervals, by a well known and highly scientific amateur, tended
vastly to increase the charm of the evening's am t 1 sements. The
finale was rather late, but every one departed highly gratified ,
with the treat they had so agroably experienced.
