SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.
The Royal South London Floricultural Society held
their second miscellaneous flower show here yesterday,
and honestly can we congratulate the committee on
having redeemed their pledge of sparing neither pains
nor expense to render each succeeding show worthy of
the public patronage. The locality certainly is different
from the Chiswick and Regent's-park shows, and that
is all the traceable difference—the same flowers are ex-
hibited at all the three places, and the nurserymen and
amateurs must feel pride in having by their perseverance
and talent brought floriculture to such a pitch of pre-
eminence as we witness at these shows. The weather
was beautiful, and the number of visitors immense; and
here is the grand secret, for we feel certain with-
out such attendances the proprietor could never be
remunerated for his outlay. Let us for a moment
contrast present and past times. Twenty years ago
' the charge for seeing the wild beasts at Exeter
Change was 3s. 6d.; now we have a splendid gar-
den, a beautiful zoological collection, a first-rate mili-
tary band, conducted by J (linen, a modelled pano-
rama by Danson, a perfect exhibition in itself, a flower
show equal to the best, and fireworks by Southby, which
we can hardly do justice to; suffice to say, they exceed
any we have ever witnessed here. But we must parti-
cularhas one piece introduced here last evening for the
first time. The bills describe it as " forty feet square;"
it represents the Shield of Minerva, having in the centre
the head of Medusa, and surrounded by serpents revolv-
ing and intertwining in every direction. It is singu-
larly beautiful, and we must pronounce it a chef cf ceurre
of the pyrotechnic art. Now what is the expense of
seeing ell this? One shilling! Our friend tho Dominie
would have exclaimed, •• Prodigious!'
The following is a list of the prizes awarded, togetacr
with the names cf the successful competitors:—

ILOYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.
The race for the grand challenge cup yesterday ex -
cited, as usual, conside,rable interest amongst yachtsmen,
but owing to the deficiency of wind, was rendered at
intervals very tedious. There was, however, some pretty
sailing, which, added to the extreme fineness of the wea-
ther, rendered the day's trip most pleasurable to visitors,
a vast number of whom were present. The Ruby,
char-
tered by the club for the occasion, was thronged, as
usual, with a most fashionable assemblage; Waterman
11 conveyed a select private party of the elite, and the
Dryad and Waterman 12 were put into requisition for
the conveyance of a vast number of other respectable
persons anxious to witness the contest; besides which,
there was the Marquis of Anglesey's Pearl, with her
noble owner on board, to whom the customary honours
were done by the club, and duly responded to. The
Nancy Dawson, the Ino, Paragon, Fleur-de-Lis, Romu-
lus, Cynthia, Frolic, and other celebrated Yachts accom-
panied the race.
The following were found at their moorings at Erith to
sail to the Note Light and back, a time race, half a
minute per ton being allowed by the larger to the smaller
craft : _ _

le Secret, 25 tons, Cowes, R. Bell, jun., Esq., blue with
diagonal red cross.
2, Heroine, 35 tons, Cowes, R. Bell, son., Esq., Red and
white stripes.
3, Cygnet, 35 tons, Scuthton, H. Lambton, Esq., blue
ground,
ram's head yellow.
4. Musquito, 50 tons, London, Lord Londesborough,
blue pierced white, red Maltese cross.
5. Volante, 50 tons, London, J. L. Craigie, Esq., white
flag.
We have before so often treated of the qualifications
of the first four of these, that any further notice would be
a work of supererogation. But of the last on the list
which played so conspicuous a part in the race we are
about to detail, it may be necessary to say a few words.
She Was what, in racing phraseology, is termed " a
dark boat." Her spirited owner, Mr. Cragie, whose
expectations had been disappointed in a previous boat,
built to contend in the great races of this club, had,
within the last six weeks, availed himself of the services
of Mr. Harvey, of Ipswich, to produce something
worthy the praise of the experienced yachtsman; and
the Volante, the offspring of his labours, yesterday made
her debut—but, as it is well known that it is a task of
no ordinary character to get a vessel in proper rig upon
such short notice, and as this was her first match, but
very few seemed disposed to speculate upon her success.
That she is extremely fast in very light wind, both in
runnini, and beating, the result clearly shows, but whe-
ther she will be found able to compete successfully in a
good stiff breeze against such a boat as the celebrated
and powerful Musquito remains to be yet seen.
The start took place at 11h. 52m. 325., there being a
light wind from W.N.W. As the wind was right abaft
immediately they swung, there was but little or no ad-
vantage in the stations. Ail canted round at the same
moment, and although the usual alacrity was displayed
in setting their canvass on all hands, the Secret was a
trifle quicker than the others, and consequently led cut
a little in advance. The others were all in a cluster, but
when they got well under weigh, the Volante began to
look very lively, and to show symptoms of exhibiting a
clean pair of heels, as also did the Cy gnet, both of which
displaced the Secret, the Heroine being astern of all.
At Purfleet, the Volante, llusquito, and Secret, pre-
milted a very pretty picture, Vee trio literally running
abreast of each other on the Kent side, when the
Heroine, bringing down a nice light breeze with her,
added her presence to the tableau. In a few minutes the
Volante began to steal away out, and on entering
Gravesend Reach showed a good lead, which she re-
tained all the way down; the Heroine having courted
the gentle zephyr so successfully as to run into a second
place, the others astern not being quite so well
favoured. They rounded th© Nore-light in the following
order:—

It M. S.

Volante 3 22 24
Heroine 0 28 30
Mosquito
Secret 0 30 0
Cygnet
The boats turned into the slack as the tide was still
ebbing, and on the first or second short board, on the
Essex side, the Mosquito went to windward of the
Heroine, and took the second place. The Volante
shifted her topsail to a smaller one, and prepared to
beat up against the dead noser. In the third' board, after
rounding, the Secret went by the Heroine to windward,
and then the Cygnet came up the latter, and challenged
her. Some very smart sailing followed, which elicited
much praise. The Cygnet passed the Heroine to leeward,
and then with a front of only a few yards went about.
The Heroine necessarily followed, and the Heroine still
kept the windward position, but alter a few more
minutes of very interesting work, made a long board to
try her fortune with " the breezes," and upon again
nearing the shore, where she had left the others, found
herself astern. Tho wind, in coming up, so died
off as to retard the match very much towards the finish;
and, as every foot of water had to be sailed, it did not
finish until a later hour than usual; but the weather
being extremely fine, all passed off very pleasantly. The
Volante retained her lead throughout, although menaced
by the " time scale "up to the very finish. The Cygnet
materially mended her position in the light air, and the
Secret relapsed into a worse condition than before.
They came in thus— H. Si. S.
The Volante (the winner) 9 51 5
Cygnet lO 2 17
Mosquito ' 10 9 0
The very handsome trophy would, owing to her
having won it last year, have been the permanent pro-
perty of tha Mosquito.
Immediately atter the conclusion of the race, the
steamers returned to London. The attention, in every
respect, to the comfort of the visitors on board the club
boat and the viands deserve every praise, as also the ex-
ertions of the band of the Royal Artillery.

BLOOMSBURY COUATY COURT, June 25.
(Betore D. D. HEATH, Esq., Judge.)

HERSANT v. MANLEY.—A TENOR IN DIFFIeIILTIES.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re-
cover the sum of 41. 103. for board, washing, and money
lent.
Mr. Bradley appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Dod
for the defendant, who is a vocalist at the Coal Hole
Tavern, Strand.
From the evidence of the plaintiff, it appeared that.
she was a fancy milliner, and at the time mentioned in
the present action resided in Judd-street, Brunswick-
square. In the year 1846, the defendant, then following
the profession of an actorin the provinces, being out of
an engagement, the plaintiff's mother, from friendship,
permitted the defendant, during the time he was in Lon-
don, to reside in her house. The amount claimed by the
plaintiff was for sixteen weeks' board, at four shillings
per week, and one shilling per week washing, paid by
her for the defendant, and also various items for money
lent, to enable the defendant to proceed to his
country engagement, and to.redeem his boxes, Which
had been detained by the railway company for the
amount of the carriage. Some smell sums had been
remitted, and letters were produced from the defendant,
under the assumed name of Thornley to the plaintiff,
in which he admitted the kindness he had received,
in one of them stated that " he had hardly
back," and in another, he wished it had been in in his
power to remit
. five pounds instead of five shillings'

whether men were in this country, in the year 18M, to be
prevented by torture from expressing their candid opinion
upon the Government and Constitution of the country? He
would not prejudge the question so much as to say that tor-
ture had been inflicted. Upon that point he would after-
wards have an opportunity of expressing his opinion in
another place.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Ernest Jones had been

their mouths with something else than talking sedition.—
(Loud laughter.) Mr. J. G. Holyoake moved that Parlia-
ment should be petitioned to institute an inquiry into the
circumstances attending the imprisonment of Mr. Ernest
Jones. Mr. Thornton Hunt seconded the resolution, which
was supported by Mr. Leblonde and carried by acclamation.
A petition was read, which was adopted unanimously. Mr.
Ernest Jones gave a long and animated account of his treat-
ment in the Tothill• fields Prison, somewh4t enlarging upon
the account which has already appeared in the public papers,
as he said he had in that account stated only what he could
prove by indisputable testimony. The meeting received Mr.
Jones with much enthusiasm.
WARNING TO SMORERS.—A few days since a pas-
senger on the outside of the diligence from Tarbes to Bor-
deaux, feeling an inclination to smoke, lighted a cigarette,
throwing the paper which he had used, as he thought, out
of the carriage. The wind, however, blew it back
amongst the straw, which was immediately in a
blaze. By the assistance of the passengers, the horses were
unharnessed and placed in safety, and some of the luggage
extricated from the flames; the greater part, however, of the
loading on the top of the diligence was destroyed.—
