I the name of the person who sent them out, and his address ; I 
j and also the names of some of the forest trees that were 
sent, and their probable age. You will be glad to hear, that | 
! by a letter, received a very short time back, we have learnt j 
they arrived safe, and in good condition ; and my brother I 
says it is not only an individual good to him, but a public 
good, in shewing what may be done in that way in a colony 
where the planting of forest trees is really necessary.” 
MALVERN POULTRY EXHIBITION. 
This very first-rate show of birds, as evidenced by the 
commendations, took place on the 13th and 14tli instant. 
The Dorkings (chicken especially), and Buff Shanghaes , were 
particularly good. Indeed, all the classes were well re¬ 
presented. Many birds, especially Dorking chicken, were 
sold at prices varying from three and four to ten guineas, 
for pens of a cock and two hens. Shanghaes at £± to 
£5 per pen. The first prize pen of Black Polands were 
sold for j£10 10s. About 4-T40 worth were sold altpgether. 
The attendance, we regret, was not very good, owing, [we 
think, to the Worcester Musical Festival taking place the 
week before, and the Yeomanry being out on permanent 
duty at Worcester. 
All visitors at the show were much pleased with the birds, 
and the arrangements generally. The birds were exhibited 
in two spacious, tents, the one one hundred and fifty feet, 
and the other forty feet long, with an opening out of the one i 
tent into the other, and three van loads of birds were sent | 
off to the Worcester Station on Thursday evening, and 
the remainder before eight o’clock on Friday morning. 
The judges were G. R. Andrews, Esq., Dorchester; T. J. 
Cottle, Esq., Pulteney Villa, Cheltenham; and Mr. John 
Baily, 113, Mount street, Grosvenor Square, London.
