THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY

The third and last fete for the present season of the
Royal Horticultural Society took place on Saturday.
The show of fruits, flowers, and exotic plants, which was
of a character of the very highest excellence, took place,
as usual, in the grounds of the society, but in addition
to this, his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, with his
usual urbanity and good feeling, admitted the company
into the grounds of his residence at Chiswick, which
join immediately the Horticultural Society's Gardens
at Turnham-green. Thus the fete was celebrated in both
places, and the visitors had an extensive and beautiful
range of promenade. The weather was favourable, al-
though not so bright as we could have wished. The heavy
rains of last week have been of great advantage to the
turf, which is now most luxuriantly verdant ; and the
trees and shrubs exhibit the full foliage, and may be
said to have arrived at the perfection of their appear
ance. The company consisted of many thousands of
people of rank, fashion, youth, and beauty, and though
not so numerous as in the fete of June, included almost
all that class who are to be met at places of public
amusment and fashionable resort. The show of fruits
was superb—indeed, such as nothing but the scientific
knowledge and industry of English gardeners, backed
by a lavish yet judicious expense of money, could produce,
and such a one as can be met with in no other country
than England.

The grapes, pines, peaches, and nectarines were mag-
nificent ; the result of a perfect system of horticulture,
and improved experience in its application. The roses
were very fine, exhibiting every variety of the flower,
and each*in the highest perfection. The cape heaths, a
class of flowers, or plants, of comparatively recent intro-
duction into this country, were also admirable. The
clusters of flower, and the delicacy of the tints displayed,
kept the eye unwearied with gazing, and continually pre-
sented fresh beauties. Amongst the rarer plants, for
which medals were given, were some very extra-
ordinary tropical productions, new to this country,
but made denizens of our conservatories by cul-
tivation and strict attention to their physiology.
These rare exotics of the Continent of South America
are of extreme curiosity. Their forms are elegant, their
colours vivid and gorgeous—such as to surpass anything
that we have been accustomed to inspect. Altogether,
!his show was one of great interest, and will not be for-
gotten by the lovers of floriculture fcr some time.

The fetes this year have been very well managed. Great
praise is due to the Committee for their arrangements ;
to Dr. Lindley, for his attention to the wishes of the Fel-
lows and the exhibitors ; to the excellent manner and
improved principle on which the marquees and tents have
been erected by Mr. Edginton of the Borough, by which
accommodation and shade has been given to thousands of
people, and all danger from wind and weather prevented;
and to those by whom the refreshments have been sup-
plied. We can say with truth that the fetes this season
nave been better managed than in any former year, and
we take leave of the gardens until next spring with re-
gret. We had almost forgotten to mention that the
bands of the Grenadier Guards, of the Coldstream
Guards, and of the Royal Artillery, were in attendance,
and on this occasion, as on the two former occasions,
contributed very materially to the pleasures of the
meeting.

LONDON, EDINBURGH, AND DUB-
LIN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.
A General Court of the Proprietors of the London,
Edinburgh, and Dublin Life Assurance Company was
held at their office, Charlotte-row, Mansion-house, on
Wednesday last.
The Chairman, RICHARD SPOONER, Esq., M.P., hav-
ing taken the chair, stated that having become a share-
holder in the Company, the Directors had done him the
great honour of electing him their Chairman—that he
had previously made the fullest inquiry, as is the duty
of every one before entering upon such an undertaking,
into the affairs of the Company, its past progress, its
present state, and its future prospects ; and having be-
come fully satisfied upon all these points, he accepted
the office with the full intention of exerting himself to
promote the prosperity of the institution, and he felt
highly gratified by the honour conferred upon him.
A Report by the Directors, giving a full account of
the state of the affairs, the balance sheet, a detailed
account of receipts and expenditure, and a report by
Mr. Griffith Davies, containing a complete valuation
of the policies, and a recommendation as to the mode
and extent of the division of profits, having been read,
the report and recommendations were, upon the motion
of J. N. Shelly, Esq., seconded by C. H. Kendall, Esq.,
unanimously approved.
A vote of thanks having been tendered to the direc-
tors, the manager, medical advisers, auditors, solicitors,
and the several officers of the Company, for their suc-
cessful exertions, the Chairman expressed the satisfac-
tio❑ which he felt at observing that the Directors had
restricted the operations of the Company to pure Life
Assurance business, and that no part of their accumu-
lated capital had arisen from the purchase money of an-
nuities. He was glad to observe the confidence which
was placed in the institution by the public, as evinced by
the class of persons who were the applicants for their
assurances, many of their policies being held as securities
by the most influential English mercantile companies,
and by other Life Assurance Companies, as re-assurances
of portions of their own policies.
It appeared that the Company had, in the course of
five years, realised a profit of 38 per cent. upon the paid
capital, after setting apart a sum sufficient to purchase
from any respeccable assurance office an indemnity for
every engagement undertaken ; and a reduction was de-
clared of 25 per cent. upon the annual premium of all
participating policies on which five years' premiums had
been paid.
Their future divisions of profits will be declared
annually:

It is with much pleasure that we are enabled to
state that her Majesty has forwarded to the Honorary Secretary
(Mr. R. Carter) of the "Quebec Fund," the sum of 2001. ; that
his Royal Highness Prince Albert has subscribed 1001. ; the Bank
of England, 2001. ; the Canada Company, 1001., &c. There is not
a doubt that a large sum will be ready to forward to Quebec for the
relief of the sufferers by fire, by the next Halifax fteamer, which
will leave our shores on the 18th inst.—Obsereer.

The Hon. Francis and Lady Anne Charteris, and Lady
Gwendaline Anson have left town for Ostend and Grafenberg,
on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Lichfield.
