manufactured goods, together with sugar and coffee, which latter shail have constituted 
one-third.of her tonnaze ; and provided also, that the two remaining thirds of the cargo im- 
ported from France, shall consist of cornand flour. The vessels must first take up their car- 
goes in this country. These conditions are by no means unreasonable ; yet still we fear that 
the French government will not countenance the trade upon such terms.—Claret fetches

in their trade from Marseilles, have, till late!y, derived essential advancages, during a pee

MONTHLY BOTANICAL REPORT, 
WeE have the satisfaction to announce to our readers the appearance of the first volume of 
the new edition of the Huztus Kewensis, oy) Wiiliam: Townsend Aiton, gardener to his 
Majesty. The work is offered to the King ina dedication, the only passage in which that 
we think it at all necessary to notice, is the following: ‘* Anx'ous to emulate his father’s 
industry, his son has never ceased to dedicate to the study of botaay the hours of leisure ale 
lowed to him by his horticultural duties; be also bus received the learned uid to which bis father 
was so deeply indebted.” Vhe words which we have printed in italics form the only notice 
contained of any assistance that the reputed author has received. In like manner, inthe former 
€dition, his father in the dedication to the king, states that the ‘* composition of the book 
cost him a large portion of the leisure allowed by the duily duties of his station, during more 
than sixteen years: in all that time it has been thought worthy of the assistance of mea more learned 
than himself.’ This assistance so slizhtly mentioned, was in the former edition, generally 
understood to include tne whole of the scientific part of the work; all the specific characters, , 
the collating the synonyms, the observations, the English names, the habitats, even the 
chronology or time of their introduction, being, we believe, justly attributed to the labours 
of the late Dr. Solander while he lived, aud atterwards to those of Mr. Dryander. To this 
Batter gentleman, whose superior talents are so wedl Known to the botanical world, is to be 
attributed.
