THE CIIISWICK FLOWER Snow.—The third and
last exhibition for this season of the Horticultural So-
ciety took place on Wednesday at their gardens at Chis-
wick. Nearly 14,000 tickets were disposed of, and
twelve thousand persons were at one period of the day
present in the gardens. Besides the usual attractions of
music and flowers, and that Epresented by the society's
beautiful grounds, the Duke of Devonshire allowed
access—as on the last day of exhibition in former years
—to the domain surrounding Chiswick House. There
were brilliant groups of pelargoniums, roses, and gera-
niums; and among the cut flowers, carnations, pinks,
and picotees, attracted the largest group of spectators.
Of fruits, the finest and the most numerous were the
pines, some of which were unusually large and well
shaped ; the collection of other fruits was neither so ex-
tensive or varied as the former exhibitions.
WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE.—The COllllllls9iollell Of
sating Westminster-bridge held their annual meeti y ter-
day, in Abingdon-street. There were preset, the Earl
of Lonsdalo in the chair, the Right Hon. the S
espeakMr.er,
Sir Charles Burrell, Mr. Frewen, Mr. Hodg,
Fuller, Mr. John Abel Smith, and Mr. Perfect. The
accounts having been passed, a sum of money was or
dered to be invested in the Three per Cent. Consols.
AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR KENT.—The wheat
crop in this county is generally looking well, though it
will not equal last year. The season has been much in
favour of the thick sown—where there is the largest plant
it has stocked best, and has the finest ears. The Lent
corn has much improved with the late showers. The
hay harvest has been most unfortunate—a vast uant.

This would have been a good contested beat bat from
the circumstance of Purple fouling Pink, and in their
endeavouring to get away from each other, Bury rowed
over the chain of a vessel and was upset, but received no
further mischief than a ducking.
On the men coming in at the conclusion of the heat,
the umpire of the regatta was appealed to by Pink, who
claimed second position in consequence of having bees
fouled by Purple (which is contrary to the rules of their
wager.) It was at length decided that the heat should
be rowed over again; but in consequence of Pink not
feeling competent to row after his immersion, the finish
of the regatta was adjourned until next week.
