been, with features of attraction peculiarly their own. It
is in this respect in the nature of an experiment, and,
so far as it has gone, an eminently successful one, for
the collection, in the autumnal season, of a sufficient
number and variety of plants and flowers of the requi-
site degree of excellence is attended with considerable
difficulty, and, added to this, it was probably appre-
hended that, at a time when so large a proportion of the
aristocracy and wealthier classes are out of town, a com-
paratively small number of people would be attracted to
the exhibition. The experience of yesterday, however,
has placed beyond doubt the perfect success of the under-
taking, for the company assembled within the building
was scarcely, if at all, less brilliant than on any of the
preceding floret fetes, end fell little short of them in point
of numerical force. A sum of nearly 8001. has been dis-
tributed in prizes, and there are about 190 competitors.
The collection, which is choice, varied, and ample, is
arranged with much simplicity and taste in two rows
along the nave, and extends far towards each wing of
the building on both sides of the transept, the northern
part being assigned to the stove and greenhouse plants
and others, and the opposite portion to cut !dowers and
fruit. The exhibition includes a vast number of speci-
mens of the classes of variegated plants in and out of
Sower, plants remarkable for fine foliage, exotic orchids
and ferns, Cape heaths, Lycopodiums, Achimenes in
lower, fuschias, scarlet geraniums, balsams, and liliume,
all of which, notwithstanding the advanced period of the
season, are delightfully fresh and lovely, and irresistibly
charming to the eye. We miss among them, it is true,
the beautiful variety of azaleas and other kindred plants
which flower in midsummer, and are wont then to chal-
lenge our admiration, but their place is supplied by
many of those hardier tribes which do not attain their
prime till later in the year. The class of variegated plants,
and plants remarkable for fine foliage, are singularly in-
teresting, and were greatly admired yesterday by con-
noisseurs. The exhibition of fruits, on the one band, more
generally appreciable by the uninitiated as well as the
practical horticulturist, is equally attractive. It embraces
chiely grapes, melons, peaches, nectarines, apricots, ap-
ples and pears, cherries, strawberries, citrons, pines,
plums, and sweet oranges, most of them in great variety
and excellence. There is also a most extensive collection
of cut roses, hollyhocks, dahlias, and German asters,
which, and especially the dahlias, elicited universal ad-
miration throughout the whole of yesterday. Added to all
these wonderful results of the art of ganilleoing, there are
likewise the permanent floral attractions of the Palace
itself, in the interior and the adjacent grounds, which, in
variety, beauty, and arrangement, were perhaps rarely
equalled, and never surpassed, presenting in the whole a
combination of natural objects calculated in a high
degree to charm the eye and elevate and purify the
heart. This combination, operating with other circum-
stances peculiar to the Palace, has lent to the horticul.
tural fetes at Sydenham all the interest attaching to them
from the first, and which has added a new embellishment
to the ordinary life of a great part of the population of
this metropolis.
On this occasion a new feature has been introduced
into the exhibition by Sir Joseph Paxton, with the view
of encouraging the practice of gardening among the rural
population, chiefly of the adjacent neighbourhood, but
without intending to limit it to that particular locality.
Prizes, 50 in number, from 101. downwards, have, for
the first time, been offered to cottagers and amateurs for
the beet specimens of the produce of the kitchen garden,
and judging from the number of exhibitors-53 of whom
are labouring men—and from the remarkably fine qua-
lity of their contributions on the first occasion on which
they have been invited to compete, the project has the
appearance of much future promise.
The following is a list of ithe principal prizes as
awarded lily the judges :
First Class—Twelve stove and greenhouse plants :
First prize to Mr. Win. Taylor, gardener to J. Coster,
Esq., of Streatham.
Second Class—Six stove and greenhouse plants : First
prize to Mr. Jas. Morris, gardener to Coles Child, Esq.,
Bromley, Kent.
Third Class—Twenty variegated plants : First prize to
Messrs. Veitoh and Son, nurserymen, Exeter and Chelsea.
Fourth Class—Ten plants (remarkable for their fine
foliage) : First prize to Messrs. Veitch and Son. These
two classes were considered by the judges as exquisite
specimens of their class.
Fifth Class—Six species of Exotic Orchids : First prize
to Mr. Carson, gardener to W. F. G. Farmer, Esq.,
Nonsuch-park.
In Class Ten, Cape -Heaths, there were no competitors.
Seventh Class—Six Cape Heaths : First prize to Mr.
Thos. Williams, gardener to Miss Train, of 'lves,
Middl &ler.
Eighth Class—Six Pitcher Plants of remarkable fine-
ness : First prize to Messrs. Veitch and Son.
Ninth Class—Twelve Exotic Ferns—exceedingly good
and very numerous : First prize to Mr. H. Smyth, gar-
dener to the Rev. J. Roper, Brighton.
Tenth Class—Hardy Ferns: First prize to Messrs.
Sims, nurserymen, Foot's Cray, Kent.
Eleventh Class—Twelve Lycapodians : First prize to
Mr. R. Parker, Paradise Nursery, Holloway.
Twelfth Class—Six Achimenes : First prize to Messrs.
Mitchell and Co., nurserymen, Brighton.
Thirteenth Class—Calosantlaus. In this class there
was so competition.
Fourteenth Crass—Six Fuscbias. The distinct kinds
exhibited for this priz3 were very numerous, and some of
them very beautiful. There was a remarkably fine and
perfect Othello. The first prize was given to Messrs.
Mitchell and Co.
Fifteenth Class--Six Scarlet Geraniums. We confess
to some difficulty in distinguishing between the flowers
exhibited here, which, we were told, were very good, and
the superb brilliancy of the scarlet geraniums on the
terrace of the palace. Mr. Wetherell, gardener to Dr.
M'Neill, of Holloway, had the honour to carry of this
strongly-contested and much coveted prize, a first-class
one.

THE HOP-PIOXERM IN KENT.—Last year, in conse-
quence of the abundant growth of hops, many hundreds
of poor families from London were enabled to realise a
few pounds after four or five weeks' labour at hop pick-
ing, in Kent, Sussex, or in other districts where hops
are grown. As it became known that this year the crop
is also abundant, these families again found their way to
their old quarters, and, tempted by the great success they
met with, thousands of others, to whom they told the
story, have also trudged into Kent. During the whole of
last week the railways to Maidstone also brought hun-
dred of poor families from London, accompanied by
troops of children, and, in addition to these, the roads
leading from Gravesend, or Rochester and Chatham, into
the middle of the county, have been thronged by groups
of wretched mortals seeking the plantations. On Satur-
day and Sunday the numbers were much increased, and,
as might be expected, much hardship was felt by many
who were compelled to pass the night in the open air
with their infants and children. Toe first comers during
the week obtained the promise of employment, and so nu.
morons were the applicants that in a few days all the
growers were supplied. Many hundreds of the late corners
were therefore much chagrined to find they could not ob•
tain work. Most of these trudged off into the Weald of
Kent, but only to meet bitter disappointment, as they met
parties who had returned thence finding every place over-
stocked with hands. The natural consequence of this glut
of labour is that some growers require their hands to pick
10 or 12 bushels fur Is., about half the usual rate of pay.
Some strikes have taken place, but a slight delay is the
only result, as fresh hands are readily obtained in abun-
dance. Persons practically acquainted with the hop plan-
tations for 50 years say they never knew so great an in-
flux of pickers. The conditions of those poor families who
have not the means of returning home is inost deplorable.

Mr. Bateson—Then I see another entry, "2d April,
lent you 1001. My charge 2/. ;" and then, on the 6th
of April, " Received 1001." That is 21. for the loan of
1001. for four days. 18 that correct /
Bankrupt—l cannot contradict them.
Mr. Bateson—On the sth of April, when you repaid
him the 1001. there appears a fresh loan of 601., with a
charge of 21. received on the 12th of April. "Lent you
for a month, 1001. ; and on the 15th, "My charge
for a loan of 1001., from 12th of April to 12th
May, 61." On the 15th, "My charge for allowing the
1001. to remain over, from April 13th to the 20,h,
21. 10s. ;" and then, " My charge for allowing 200/ ,
which should have been paid yesterday, to remain
over the 29th, 61. ;" and "My charge for allowing the
loan of 1001. to remain over from the 22d April to
April 29, 31." Thus it appears that whenever you
wanted any accommodation you paid him what he chose
to ask yon I
Bankrupt—No, I did not.

The MAYOR of TORONTO responded to the toast. To
show them what the citizens of Toronto thought of this
celebration, he need only mention that they had brought
down some of their best men—and he would appeal to them
if they had not brought down some of their handsomest
women also? (Cheers and laughter.) With reference to
the feeling against the Grand Trunk, he always held that
it would sooner or later entirely disappear—(cheers)-- and
that the inhabitants of the province would find it their in-
terest to unite as one man in the establishment of this great
line. (Applause.) It had been observed that the Grand
Trunk had been well abused, but he would remind them of
I this fact, that those who had been best abused were gene-
rally found to be the best men. (Laughter.) On such an
occasion as the present, the citizens of Toronto and
Whitby were proud to shake hands together—both were
deeply interested, and both had been successful. (Cheers.)
And he would lemurs them that the citizens of Toronto

" Gentlemen,—Upon this interesting and important oc•
casion, the municipality of the town of Whitby, not only
for themselves as a council, bat also iu behalf of the in-
habitants of this, and the surrounding locality in general,
feel great pleasure in giving to you and your guests a most
hearty welcome.
"Deeply interested in everything affecting the prosperity
and growth of the town of Whitby, we have been looking
forward with no small amount of concern to the opening
of this portion of that noble line of railroad, a link only of
the great chain, which, when completed, will unite toge•
ther the most distant portions of this noble province, bring-
ing into close contiguity places that have hitherto been
separated far by distance, opening up new channels of
communication, and furnishing fresh outlets for the results
of persevering industry.
" In a national point of view we feel proud of this under-
taking, and we are satisfied, that, as its name indicates,
when the whole line is completed, it will indeed be worthy
of the name of ' The Grand Trunk Railroad,' running at
suitable distances in its course, from its various tributaries
vast amounts of pro,luce, swelling in magnitude as it ad-
vances, and like some mighty river, conferring advantages
and blessings upon all to whom it reaches. To the con-
tractors, Messrs. Jackson, Pato, Betts, Brassey, and Co.,
who have prosecuted the work with energy in the midst of
so many disadvantages, we think the mead of praise is
justly.,due; and we would take this opportunity of stating
that we have no sympathy with those who have apparently
taken pleasure in throwing obstacles in the way, and in
increasing the difficulties with which the contractors have
had unavoidably to contend.
"To Patric Ogilvie, Esq., the resident engineer of this
part of the line, we are happy in having this opportunity
of tendering the satisfaction, which we have expressed, in
witnessing the successful manner in which, with so much
credit to himself and the contractors, he has brought this
section to its present state of completion.
"In conclusion, gentlemen, we hope, ere long, to have
the pleasure of congratulating you upon the entire com•
pletion of the Grand Trunk Railroad, and, though the
last, yet, in our estimation, by no means the least, we are
looking forward to another day, which we confidently
hope is
.not far distant, on which we trust we shall see
either you or your successors here, to witness the Opening
of one of the tributaries of the Grank Trunk, viz., the
Port Whitby, Seugog, Simcoe, and Lake Heron R►iiroad.
" Signed on behalf of the corporation of the town of
Whitby. JAMES WALLACE, Mayor."
Mr. J. H. Perry then read the following address :

would also be glad to hear of the success ofthe-other
line from Whitby to Lake Huron. (Cheers.) With reference
to the city of Toronto he could not help telling them that
its citizens looked on it as one of the fastest cities in North
America. (Laughter and cheers.) In conclusion, he
hoped that every success would attend the line ; as such a
success would be that of the best interests of Canada—
and asked them to drink to the health of the corporation
of Whitby.
The toast was enthusiastically responded to, the Mayor of
Whitby returning thanks on behalf of the corporation, in
a ♦ery neat speech.

Mr. Yates said, in justice to the bankrupt he should
state that Tyson had filed Mr. Pewberton's account by
his adviser's desire, although it might tell against him.
His Honour—Did you ever object to any demands
male upon you by Pemberton
Bankrupt—Yes,
Mr. Bateson—Then why did yon borrow money of
him after having objected to his charge for interest 1
Bankrupt—Because I could mostly get money of him
when I wanted it.

Mr. Bateson —Could you not get money of him when
you would pay him his price I
Bankrupt—No, because it was not al ways convenient.
His Honour—Can you remember any instance in which
the interest has been reduced in consequence of your ob-
jections I
Bankrupt—l cannot speak to any one.
His Honour—Did you always pay what he asked

The CHAIRMAN next proposed "The Press," in a briel
and appropriate speech.
The toast was drank with all the honours.

Mr. ROGAN returned thanks, briefly humorously.
The CHAIRMAN called particular attention to the next
toast ; and calling for bumpers, proposed, " Prosperity to
Canadian Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce."
(Immense cheering.)
Mr. BOWES, M.P., being loudly called for, rose to re-
spond to the toast. Owing to a band playing outside, and
the clattering of plates and popping of champagne corks,
the hon. gentleman was not heard as distinctly as could be
desired. However, the great size of the room would have
precladed the possibility of his being heard by all parties
present. As it was he was surrounded by the most in-
fluential men of the occasion. His remarks were in fur-
therance of the Grand Trunk scheme. He would not take
up much time, as the engine was sounding a warning that
the time to return from their pleasant excursion was at
hand. For that reason, also, he would not go into a de-
tailed account of the benefits accruing from the present
great undertaking, or of the amount of traffic that,
when finished, would be drawn over the Grand Trunk
line —benefitting all the towns and villages along its
route and the country in general. It will add to the great-
ness of Canada every day. After adverting in au eloquent
manner, and amid frequent outbursts of applause, to the
advantage, present and future, to be derived from the com-
pletion of the Grand Trunk, the speaker next alluded to
the communication between Canada and the mother
country, in connection with the Grind Trunk line, and
the consequences that must thereby arise to benefit Canada
from one end to the other. (Cheers.) After dwelling on
the toast to which he was called to respond, and more im-
mediately the national products of Canada, Mr. Bowes
entered into details of the efforts that he had used, when,
alone almost, he had stood forth to defend the Grand
Trunk line, for from the beginning he had seen the good
that it would do to the country. He alluded more espe-
cially to that connecting link in the line, the Victoria '
Bridge, the construction of which bad met with so much '
opposition. (Hear.) And he (Mr. B.) would say that the
man that would now hold up his finger in opposition to the
Grand Trunk line—or any line of railway that would be
of advantage to an important city, was not the man that
was upholding the city and the country. The opposition
that the Grand Trunk enterprise had met with had only
served to stir up a spirit of enterprise; and then he had
no hesitation in saying that every shilling sunk by the pro-
vince in the line would yet redound to its credit, and to
the credit of the men that had urged and carried this
noble enterprise forward. In conclusion Mr. Bowes
thanked the assemblage for the honour they did him in
calling on him to respond to the toast, and for the patience
and deep interest with which they had listened to his re-
marks; and he trusted that now the line of communication
was opened they would be enabled to shake hands with
each other much oftener than they had formerly done.
Mr. Bowes resumed his seat amidst much cheering.
After some other toasts, _

The Bankrupt—No.
His honour—Then cannot you refer me to any one
instance where, in consequence of your objections, the
interest demanded by him from you Wa3 reduced ?

No, I cannot. -
His Honour—Then you did pay him, i❑ fact, what he
chose to ask 4

Mr. Bateson—Then you paid him 61. 53. per month ;
in one case I see 6/. 104. paid.
Bankrupt-61. was the ordinary rate. It would, how-
ever, depend on whether he got the money out of the
bank. The ordinary rate w&s 6 per cent. per month; but
i° he took it out of his bank he charged ss. per cent. per
month extra.

Sixteenth Class—Scarlet geraniums, wit variegated
foliage : A fourth prize Was given to Mrs. Conway, theie
not being any special excellence to warrant a first prizz,,.
In the Seventeenth Class, for nosegay geraniums, there
was, curiously enough, no competitor ; as was also the
case with Class Eighteen, for blooming geranium..
Nineteenth Class—Twelve balsams. The ft)wers in
this class were of a high order : First prize to Messrs.
F. and A. Smith, nurserymen, Dulwich.
Twentieth Class—Six cockscomb-: First prize to Mr.
J. Bovingdon, gardener to Desirques,
ham.

Mr. Bateson—A.nd you mean to tell us that it is true,
as stated among your trade expenses, that in five years
and a half Mr. Pernbartcm has charged you 4,072/. 17g.
4d. for interest on loans ?

Bankrupt—That is correct.
Mr. Bateson—And he has charged you for law ex-
penses, as your attorney, during that period, 1811.
ss. 10d. ?

Twenty-first Class—Twenty-one verbenas in pots :
First prize to Mr. J. Shrimpton, gardener to A. Doxett,
E.q., Putney-heath.
Twenty-second Class—Six Japanese lilies : First prize
to Mr. W. Stone, Dulwich.
Twenty third Class—Miscellaneous Plants. An equal
first prize was given to Mr Passe, gardener to J.
Brocklehurst, E-1., of Macclesfield ; to Messrs. Ju'kin
and Son, of Kingston ; to Mr. Farmer, Royal Nursery,
Slough ; to Mr. W. Chayter, nurseryman, Saffron Wal-
den ; to Mr. J. Keynes, nurseryman, Salisbury ; to
Mr. Bray, nurseryman, Slough ; to Mr. S )xloy, gar-
dener to J. Edwards, Esq., Dulwich-hill ; and to Mr.
W. Wetherall, gardener to Dr. Macneill.

Bankrupt—Yes, he has.
Mr. Bateson—Besides your having paid him 117/. for
interest on mortgages ?
Bankrupt—Yes ; ttat was from 1851 to 1856.

"TO THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS OF THE GRAND
TRUNK RAILWAY COMPANY.

Mr. Bateson—And during the whole of this five years
and a half your trade profits were only 3,635/. 2s. lid.?
Bankrupt—That is all.
By consent the examination was adjourned for three
weeks, Mr. Bateson observing that there would not be
much difficulty in showing where the corn money had
gone to.

"Gentlemen,—We, the officers and members of the Me-
chanics' Institute of the town of Whitby, embrace the op-
portunity to welcome you, on the occasion of the first ex-
cursion passenger train over the Grand Trunk Railway
from Toronto eastward to this place.
" Our organisation having for its primary object the
advancement of science and literature, and the general
diffusion of useful knowledge, iu our corporate capacity as
well as citizens, hail with lively satisfaction ,the consum-
mation of any great public work destined to so largely
affect for good our adopted or native country.
"The importance to the province of Canada of this
gigantic undertaking is of such magnitude, that it is im-
possible for the human mind at one grasp to fully compre-
hend it beneficially anti spontaneously—affecting as it does
the manufacturing, industrial, agricultural, and commer-
cial interests of the British North American possessions.
" The local position of the town of Whitby insures to its
inhabitants a fair proportion of the general benefits and ad-
vantages to be derived from the completion and successful
operation of so great and important a work as the Grand
Trunk Railway. During the construction of the road with-
in the limits of this municipality the population of the
town has increased 100 per cent., and the value of our ex-
ports has risen to bo the fifth in the amount in the western
province.
" We trust that the original anticipations of the English
stockholders of the Grand Trunk Railway Company may
be fully realised, and that the trade and travel will increase
with such rapid strides that a further instalment of British
capital, to foster Canadian enterprise,' will shortly be re-
quired in order to build a second track to accommodate the
large and rapidly increasing business which this railway
must necessarily control.
" It is with unfeigned pleasure we allade to the name of
P. Ogilvie, Esq., your resident engineer of this section of
the road. As a neighbour, citizen, or in his official capacity
as employe of the Grand Trunk Company, we have over
found him kind, courteous, gentlemanly, and straightfor-
ward, rigidly maintaining the honour and credit of the con-
tractors and the company, and scrupulously exact in all his
business transactions. In our opinion not a little credit is
due to him for the satisfactory and excellent manner the
Whitby section of this great national work has been pro-
secuted to such an early and successful termination.
" 1. HAM. PERRI',
" President Whitby Mechanics' Institute.
" Whitby, Aug. 25, 18.56."
Mr. E. F. WHITTEMORE returned thanks on behalf of
the directors. Re regretted the absence of the president
on such an auspicious occasion;
but that gentlewan was at
presentlin Europe attending to the affails:of the company.
On such occasion he would dispense with any lengthy ad-
dress, merely concluding with the assurance that the sen-
timents io the address were echoed by the directors.
Mr. JAS. BEATY being called on, came forward, and said
he could not give full expression to the feelings called
forth by the present grand demonstration on the opening
up of this section of their great national undertaking, lie
felt unable to fully do justice to the sentiments of the in-
habitants of Upper Canada, respecting the Grand Trunk
as expressed in these addresses. (Hear.) But

an interest in the progress of this magnificent enterprise.
They would tell the people across the Atlantic that the
line would thrive in spite of all the opposition thrown in
its way—in spite of all the efforts to the contrary of a mis-
guided section of the public. In conclusion he thanked
them most heartily for the sentiments expressed in their

Three cheers were given for the Queen, the' Mayor
of Toronto, and the Mayor of Whitby ; after which the
assemblage broke up.
Tue company were soon on the cars once more, and on
their way home. Owing to the great number of passengers
two engines were employed to draw the train, which com-
prised four passenger cars, a post-office car, and five plat-
form cars, all of which were crammed. Such was the
crowd that even the platforms of the ears were full of
people. The engine and tender were also made available
for passengers. The fine band of Captain Nickinson's rifle
company occupied one of the foremost cars next the engine,
and performed several pieces at each station.
