various species of Oxalis (which have• been kep
through the winter) in fresh soil ; they are admirabh.
ornamenting the conservatory shelves, and few plants
equal the beautiful colour of their foliage ; besides whir,
the flowers of several, such as 0. versicolor, O. pectinate
0. brasiliensis, 0. boweii, &c., are very ornamental.
Messrs. Davies, of Wavertree Nursery, have introduced
'one with double orange-coloured flowers, which is very
novel and handsome. The various species and varieties
of Achimenes, Gesneras, and Gloxinias also require re.
planting and starting with bottom heat.
Vinery.—ln this department, if the forcing commenced
e::rly, the vines are probably in. bloom;. if so, they require
less moisture in the atmosphere. but if not. a moist warm

atmosphere must be maintained in the

the superfluous buds removed, and the branches
with care, so as to give ample room for the spreading out
of the foliage when required.
.17,Flower Garden.—The extreme dryness of the soil con-
sequent upon the long drought and cold winds, has almost
put a stop to vegetation in the garden. Plants will, how
ever, begin to push rapidly as soon as they have had
full supply of rain, consequently all removals -
tions should be brought to a close as speedily as.
Sow a few hardy annuals in the open ground
cession of these plants is required.

crops of such things as radishes, peas, spinach, 0„.

The Victoria Regis, in the Botanic Gardens at Kew, is
again, for the third consecutive season, in flower. In
1850 it produced its first flower on the 16th June ; in 1851
on the 21st April ; and this year on the 2d March.

AND- THE DRAMA.
1111,•
SACRED HARMONIC SOEIETY.—The rehearsals of this
society will commence with a new anthem, " In that slay,"
by Mr. G. J. Elvey, and a sacred cantata, (M.S.) "'Lion,"
composed by Mr. Hackett. The first meeting is fixed for
to-morrow evening (Wednesday).
Mr_TsicaL UNION.—The sixth and last of Mr. Had-
dock's series of chamber concerts will take place on Friday
evening next, at Mr. Elliston's rooms, in Nelson-street,
when the executants will be Mr. Baetens, Mr. Wilber.
force, Mr. Haddock, and Mrs. Beale.
TRH AMATEUR PERFORMANCE AT THE THEATRE
ROYAL.—The tickets for the forthcoming affair are now
issued, and the whole of the arrangements completed. It
promisee to be a successful undertaking, for the object to
be promoted by it will, no doubt, cause a full attendance.
Last night the amateurs had a rehearsal, when everything
passed off well.
ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—We have had at th.„.
during the past week, a series of classical dramas,
light afterpieces of the best class, for the purpose of intr,
ducing to the public Mr. Henry Farren, son we presume
of the veteran of that name, and Miss Louisa Howard
The former possesses many good qualities. "'
naturally good, but wants a little more trai,
fective on the stage ; and his voice is at
harsh. There is, however, the right metal in him ,
some passages in his acting, especially of Claude Melnottc
were deservedly applauded. Miss Howard is a most pleas.
ing actress. The pieces during the week have been very
well got up. It will be observed that Mr. Farren and
Miss Howard remain with us during the present week.
A DELPHI THEATRE.—There is now a goodly array of
talent concentrated here. including Mr. M. Smythson
and Mr. C. Freer, two leading men of some standing
Mrs. A. Dyes and Miss Marriott, clever 'ceding female
