MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 223 



Horticultural Society. — Advices have been received from Mr. Hartweg, 

 dated Bogota, 31st March. He was at that time on the point of starting for 

 the town of Guaduas, a place 5000 feet above the sea, in a thickly wooded 

 country, and thence he was to proceed to Carthagena on his return to England. 

 His collections from Popayan and elsewhere filled 14 chests, in which were 25 

 species of Orchidaceae, several fine plants of Thiebaudia floribunda, four boxes 

 of roots and cuttings in earth, 121 kinds of seed, and about 4000 dried specimens. 



To destroy Cock Roaches. — We understand that the following method has 

 been successfully practised by Messrs. Loddiges in their hot-houses. One ounce 

 of arsenic is mixed with four ounces of tallow, and the two are melted together 

 in an earthen pipkin. When thoroughly incorporated by stirring, and partially 

 cooled, small pieces of wood are dipped in the tallow, which forms over them a 

 coating. They are stuck about in the pots, when the cock-roaches greedily 

 attack them and perish.
