The ordinary meeting of the Horticultural Society was
held on Wednesday afternoon, W. IL Pepys, Esq., F.R.S., in
the chair. 'The prizes awarded were—a silver Knightian
medal to Mr. Best, gardener to A. Park, Esq., of Merton-
grove, for a specimen of nolana ; silver Banksian medals to
Mr. Farmer, gardener to Mr. E. D. Davenport., Esq., for a
providence pine ; and Mr. Hendry, gardener to the Rev. W.
Antrobus, for a Hoosainee melon. An extract from the Me-
teorological Register states that on the 23d of June the ther-
mometer stood at 91 deg., which is evidently incorrect,
whether in the shade or the sun.

The appointment of Lord Heytesbury as Lord-Lieutenant
appears to be a subject of very little general interest in
Dublin. There are circumstances which detract from it.

His Lordship is reputed to be not very rich,,and Lady Heytes-
bury is said to be in. ill health ; and these facts, coupled with
his Lordship's advanced age, are unfavourable to the hope
that the Court will be a very brilliant one, or his hospitalities
and expenditure on the most liberal scale.
The meetings of the Anti-Corn-Law League at Covent.-
garden Theatre have been adjourned till next month.
The premiums offered by the King of Hanover, for two
glees—thirty guineas for the best, and twenty for the second
best—were decided on Tuesday, at a meeting of the Catch
Club, in favour of Mr. T. Cooke and Mr. J. B. Sale. Mr.
Cooke's glee, which was for four voices, was entitled " The
Four Winds," and Mr. Sale's (for three voices) " You ask the
Reason Why."
