The Manchester Botanic Garden, which has been for two or three years in pro- 

 gress, was opened on the 27th of October, and upwards of 5C0 persons walked round it, and 

 appeared highly satisfied. The garden is far from being completed, but enough is done to show 

 what it will be. The green-house and hot-house, constructed by Messrs. John Jones and Co. of 

 Birmingham, gave great satisfaction, as did the two entrance lodges [though we have heard them 

 spoken of as rather in bad taste]. The Council, having determined to celebrate the opening of the 

 garden by an exhibition of fruits and vegetables, offered three prizes, consisting of the large silver 

 medal ot the London Horticultural Society, placed at their disposal for that purpose, and two sil- 

 ver cups given by the Council. Owing to the late period of the year, the candidates for these 

 prizes were not numerous ; but some very beautiful dishes of fruit were exhibited. The prizes 

 were gained by the following gentlemen : — The first prize (the silver medal), by Chas. Walker, 

 Esq., who exhibited twelve dishes of pears, four of apples, one of melons, one of plums, and three 

 of vegetables. The second prize, by R. W. Barton, Esq., who exhibited four dishes of grapes, one 

 of peaches, seven of pears, four of apples, and six of vegetables. The third prize, by Richard 

 Potter, Esq., of Smedley, who exhibited one pine (a most splendid fruit), two dishes of grapes, 

 and four of vegetables. J here was also some excellent fruit exhibited by S. J. Trafford, Esq., 

 and John Moore, Esq. The apples sent by the former gentleman were particularly fine. (Coun- 

 try Times, Nov. 1. 1830 )
