 evening. May 17th, in the Chinese Saloon, — Dr. W. D. BrinckM, Vice Pres-

 Mr. Buist's collection, were remarkably well grown specimens of Azalea 

 Maitlandii, A. variegata, Ixora coccinea, Alstroemeria bicolor. Calceolaria, 

 Bletia hyacinthoides, &c., and a dozen pots of indigenous plants. J. F.
