Ohservalions. — The market has been abundantly supplied with all kinds 

 of summer vegetables, fruit, &c., owing to the favourable weather. Cauli-

 fruits are excellent and plentiful. — M. July 16.

YOBKSHIRE Horticidtural Society. — The Spring Meeting of this Society 

 was held in this city on May 21st. A numerous and elegant assemblage of 

 ladies were present on this occasion, and seemed to be highly pleased with

 graced our Assembly Room on the occasion to which we now allude. We 

 have seen this magnificent structure, when trod as by magic step, by hun- 

 dreds of light-hearted and sylph-like forms, whilst the glad measure has 

 breathed as from the strains of Orpheus ; we have seen it, when an assem- 

 blage, as cultivated and as elegant, have sat entranced to the harmony of 

 the orchestra, or the trill of a Catalan!; but, on Wednesday, when Spring 

 held its carnival, and Flora and Pomona jointly provided the treat, it ap- 

 peared more interesting than the tide of song or the measured step could
