The Horticultural Society held their periodical meeting on Tuesday, at their Great Room, in Regent-street. There was a large show of shrubs and flowers, especially some seedlings raised by Lord Carnavron, in his gardens at Highclere, from azalea coccinea, and a subescens, which were expressly impregnated by the pollen of azalea triumphans. Many of the seedlings have flowered at Highclere this season for the first time. Cherries and strawberries of very extraordinary size and flavour covered the table. The secretary read, for the first time (communicated by the Council, and evidently the result of infinite labour), the new version of the by-laws for the government of the society, in which it appears all the objectionable clauses contained in the old edition are entirely removed, and a number of salutary and extremely wise plans and regulations suggested in their stead. The whole of these clauses are to be discussed and adopted hereafter, should they receive the approbation of the Fellows.
