Devo7i and Exeter Botanical and Horticultural Society. — The day fixed 

 by this Institution, for their First Exhibition of fruits, flowers, and vegetables, 

 was July 30. Upon the doors being opened, the room was filled almost 

 immediately, and shortly afterwards the President (the Right Hon. Lord 

 Clifibrd) took the chair, and, in the name of the Society, thanked the indi- 

 duals who had contributed to the splendid display of horticultural produc- 

 tions exhibited. He expressed, too, his full confidence, that as the climate 

 of Devonshire was more favourable to horticultural pursuits than that of 

 any other part of the kingdom, so this Society would shortly become infe- 

 rior to none in its extent and usefulness. Mr. Gidley then, at the request 

 of His Lordship, read the names of the successful candidates, and as he 

 announced each prize, he at the same time, wherever it was practicable, 

 exhibited to the company the article for which it was awarded.
