BATH ROYAL HORTICULTURAL AND BOTANICAL SOCIETY. 
The first' show of the season took place on the 27th of May, under quite as 
favourable auspices as could have been expected. 
WOLVERHAMPTON AND STAFFORDSHIRE HORTICULTURAL 
AND FLORAL SOCIETY. 
This Society held its first exhibition for the present season on Tuesday last, 
at the Star and Garter Hotel, and, notwithstanding the ungenial spring, many 
fine specimens were exhibited. Those that attracted particular notice were Azalias 
and Panseys. The day being very unfavourable, the visitors were not numerous, 
but highly respectable. 
SALOP HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
The first exhibition in 1838 took place on the 30th of April, wdien the prizes 
were awarded. 
DONCASTER LYCEUM. 
We regret the non-appearance of a report of this Society for 1837* Did not 
the report for 1836 succeed, or is the Institution going down hill ? We are well- 
wishers of the Lyceum; and therefore we throw out the above hint, thinking 
that the state of the Society should be announced annually to its subscribers and 
the public. 
BRITISH ASSOCIATION. 
The Meeting will take place this year at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, in the week 
commencing with the 20th of August.
