Climate of Anglesea.— A few days ago I observed 

 in a cottager's garden bordering on the Menai Straits. 

 a plant of Salvia fulgens in full bloom. Several Ver- 

 benas and Ageratum mexicanum were in a green and 

 healthy state, showing no symptoms of having received 

 tin si -Ltest '■ jury from frost. Ou inquiry I was told 

 that they had stood unprotected. The situation co m .

 caterpillars descend to the ground, and pass the w

keeping the saw-fly from laying its eggs, so that one or

 not seem to have any material effect on the caterpillars 

 which infest A] learner.

and my friend is one of die largest of them, and one 



that possesses the greatest influence. He ia very 



anxious to plant these hillsides, but does not know npon 



what terms he ought to set about it. He is ready to 



exchange other land for this, but has the clergyman the 



power to part with any of his glebe ? Perhaps some ot 



your legal readers can assist me in this matter. Un ess
