ot the larger ailIL muie important tent,ana atew passeu v. without stopping to look at them for a few moments Beyond these foreign importations lay the realm of the fuchsi li, stately of form and tall of stature. The eye at once singled out here the chief of the three sent by Mr Lon- gueville for competition in this class, which seemed so de- lightfully fresh a just to have burst from the bud into the TZLL-H of purple blosgflfflu^a f=W hours before it arrived. Pink add white comjSnions ifl'aBfflUftnce flf bact, but done could compare with ifcfor quantityt>fbl)OBi, though one or two others, which ^f|re not quite so forward, might have rivalled it, had tha^jfbow been week la~i«v- Mr Lon- gueville's fuchsi u», jpyf course, 'opk the priffls. The rose kingdom was belovf these, and Jhere the liver of "the neen of flowers—|tjie English rose" lingered, though since this title waft Bestowed tipon our national flower the pure island stoèk has bcencast into the ahade by new developments of gaijlening ingenuity and immigrants from abroad. For form,colour,and swettnes?,every ruse wasa study from the lonely" Ahmie WQod" and "Madame Falcot," born to grace a. lady's bosom, to the full-blown "Baroness Rothschild." Mr Ormsby Gore took the prize for his stand of twelve roses, and Mr A. C. Arkwright for nis stand of six. Near these incomparably delicate things, and be- fore the tier of fuchsias, were several fine geraniums abound- ing in bloom. Hollyhocks were good but exposure to the weather has not been without effect on them, and this flower, indeed, neverseemsto show to so much advantage indoors. The Rev. T?. M. B. Owen was fir3fc here. Mr Arkwright took a prize for a truss of verbenas. The dahlias were grand. Their perfect symmetry, brilliant painting, and dewy freshness were delicious. To Mr E. Wright was awarded the prize for the stand of twelve dahlias; and Earl Brownlow cajne in first for the best six. Asters, in which Major Lloyd took honours for his stand of twelve, were also good, though, perhaps, suffering a little from the weather, and by their close contiguity to the boxes of roses and dahlias, whose rich colours their pale tints could not vie with. Only one or two calceolarias were on view, including a fairly handsome specimen so hung round with delicate yellow pures as to allow little foliage to be seen. The prize fell tolr TJ. Previg-fer his three geraniums, scarlet, horse-sh4, and variagated. Four oil five exquisite gladioli of an almost blood-red hue were to be seen, as well as other meritorious bills less striking samples of this beautiful flower. Earl Brownlow took the priza for the stand of nine, and the Rev. T. M. B. Owen for that of six. There were no entries of phloxes. Mr Longueville took the prize for the best herbaceous plant in pot, while Mr Ormsby. Gore carried away that offered for the most ornamentaj ilant, and the finest six ornamental foliaged plants an ejttra prize was awarded to Mr Longue- ville for some creditable specimens from his establishment. Mr Ormsby Gore for the beat collection of six stove or greenhouse PlAnts in flower, and a fine lot they were. Here and there W;o seen a lily, the fiercest of the species, the proad ajid gaudy tiger lily, not being unre- presented, thoogk, statin therasw-of the music of the bag- pipes, distance was needed to lend enchantment to the view. The Rev. T. M. B. Owen took the prize for the best three liliums as well as an extra one allotted for twelve hollyhocks shown by him. An extra prize for four achimenes was taken by Mr T. J. Pro vis. To the huge pyramidal masses of lycopodium shown by Mr Longueville the prize offered in this department was necesarily ad- judged. The collection* of ferns-forn*d one of the chief attractions of the shew. These were; really magnificent growths in their kind. Among the foeigta plants was an extraordinary-looking member of thet-iactus tribe, whose leaves or stalks, as they might indi.rently be called, were of an oval shape, thick, stiff, of "a green colour, thickly dotted with spots, and curiously jointed one upon another. For the best three exotic ferns Mr Arkwright took the prize, Mr Prodis took an extra dfee for three ferns,, and the Rev. Ambrose Short another extra prize for a fine col- lection exhibited in his name. An extra prize for the best collection of plants fell to Mrs R. J. Venables. The bouquets were much more choice than those usually seen. Roses were a large constituent, and the selection in severla cases shewed no little artistic judgment. The Rev. T. M. B. Owen was first, and Mr Longueville took an extra prize. Much care had been, bestowed upon the collection of wild flowers open to cottigers Lizzie Jones, Will,)w- street, took first, Elizabeth James, Aston, second, and Herbert Preston, third prize. There was a re- spectable show of herbs in the same depart- ment, exhaling an odour of mint which quite overpowered the lesser smells in the vicinity. The season has not been a prosperous one for fruit, and a deficiency was of course observable here. It was, however, chiefly seen in respect to plums, which were almost entirely unrepresented. The raspberries looked rather washed-out, but the peaches were splendid, and the apricots and necta rines looked little inferior. In nectarines Mr Provis was first, in peaches Mr Ormsby Gore, in plums, pears, and dessert apples, which last-named were fine, ruddy trUlt, the Rev. T. M.B.Owen. For the best collection of fruit Mr Ormsby Gore and the Rev. T. M. B. Owen took prizes. Two or three fine bunches of grapes were shown by Mr Ormsby Gore and Mr E. Wright, and divided the prize f,)r black, Major Lloydtookthatfor white. The recent rains pre- vented many amateurs, who would otherwise have come forward, from competing, but in quality this department was fairly well up. Air E. Shaw, PI as Wilmot, took a large share of the prizes here, receiving awards for his ferns, geraniums, fuschias, mignonette, cut roses, black grapes, dessert pears, and French beans. Mr. A. Edge, Ellesaiere, took prizes for dahlias, hollyhocks, asters, verbenas, vegetable n ->w9, and cauliflowers. Mr J. W. James, G i ■nven, '.r.3t for gladioli, six flowers, dessert apples, b king apples, < lery, scarlet runners, peas, and for each of the three collections of vegetables. Potatoes, as was nnMiral, mn., ro'.izcd a large share of the space allotted to the cottagers, and were conspicucu-1 for their fine and healtby appearance. Vegetables were generally good in all the del;artli nts, some particularly bulky vegetable marrows and melons being shown. Turnips, carrot, and parsnips mustered in strong force, and included many fine specimens. The band of the 15th Shropshire Volunteers played during the afternoon, and in the evening, there was a dance. Throughout the day the bells of the old church, from which a flag floated in honour of the occasion, were rung at intervals. Considering the wet weather there was a fair attendance during the afternoon, but the frequent showers damped the spirits of those who might have been inclined to pay a visit later on. Mrs Kenyon, of Pradoe, distributed the prizes to the cottagers on the terrace, in the presence of a fashionable assemblage. Mr Wilson, Leaton Knolls, Mr Louden, The Quinta, and Mr fatcbellor. Sodyllt, were the judges for the professional gardeners and amateurs, and Mr Shingler, Brogynton, Mr Matdell, Aston, and Mr Watkiss, Tedsmore, for cottagers. The committee consisted of Mr J. R. Ormsby Gore, M.P., Major Lloyd, Mr T. L. Longueville, the Rev. T. M. B. Owen, Mr Charles Wright, Mr G. T. Dumville Lees, the Rev. Ambrose Short, Capt. Langford James, Mr T. Whit- field, Mr E. Shaw, Mr J. Fulcher, and Mr W. Rigby. Mr Stanley Leighton, of Sweeney Hall, acted as honorary secretary and Mr John Clarke, Brook House, as assistant honorary' secretary, the general arrangements being under the superintendence of Mr Porter, Mr Fulcher, and Mr Whitfield, who maintained everything in apple-pie order.

MARRIAGE REJOICINGS. On Thursday, August 27th, the marriage was celebrated of Mr Stanley Leighton, of Sweeney Hall, and Miss Williams Wynn, eldest daughter of Bertie Williams Wynn, Esq., formerly of Llanforda Hall, Oswestry, and now of Howbery Park, Wallingford. Canons were fired, and the iIOld church bells were rung at intervals throughout the day and on Friday the rejoicings were of a more general character, but we understand that the proceedings of Thursday and Friday will be altogether eclipsed by thl demonstration to be held about the end of this', montw when it is expected the bride and bridegroom will return, home. Already a sum of upwards of £ 200 has' been col- lected by the committee, of which Mr R. Wainwrighlr is the honorary secretary, and we believe at the forthcoming rejoicings there will be horse-races, beef distributions, extensive displays of bunting, and arches, in fact nothing will be wanting to make the affair a complete success. Sweeney Hall is about a mile and a half from Oswestry, and on Friday some hundreds of people from the town and neighbourhood walked to the hall through a steady downpour of rain. The morning was fine, but the after- noon was as wet as any that we have had this summer, and that is saying a good deal. Fortunately the weather cleared up somewhat, about six o'clock, and dancing was proceeded with, the band of the Rifle Corps supplying the music, The Rejoicings Committee had engaged the excellent ba.nd under the leadership of Mr John Evans, on condition that the weather was fine, and therefore :as the rain came down so freely there was only one band on the grounds. After tea the tent was cleared for dancing which seemed to be by far the most popular amusement provided, with the exception of about a doz^n swings erected on the lower part of the grounds. From the time the children entered the grounds until after ten o'clock at night these swings never stopped, and even the drenching rain was unable to check the pleasure of the children who had come out to rejoice and were determined to see things from a "Mark Tapley" point of view. Of course, there were also present a few inevitable soakers Who were anxious know where they could get a "orain," btu th- refre.tP. its, which were placed under tht '&uv of Itlisp Poem:! -n the Queen's Hotel, were supplied by ticket, and tickets were not, as a rule, in possession ''of these thirsty so .'s. Of course they succeeded in obtaining quite as lliù.èU as was good for them, for they besieged the commit e3 on eVeC'o' possible occasion, and it was evidently no easy matter tu, f. the p'.radings of the old hands," who have probably for Llle last ten or twenty years attended all the rejoicings within a radius of fifteen miles of Oswestry, and are therefore not only ac- quainted with all the dodges by which a glass of ale or spirits can he obtained, but aie almost part and parcel of these demonstrations, and are willing to make themselves useful in carrying poles, planks, evergreens, and ladders in the early part of the proceedings, with a view of enjoying themselves later on. Tea was provided in a handsome and commodious tent, by Messrs Jones Brothers, Bailey-street, who did their part of the work very satisfactorily, as may easily be seen from the fact that somewhere about seven hundred people were supplied with tea, without crushing or incon- venience. The following ladies rendered assistance inside the tent:—Mrs Wainwright, Mrs Clarke, Brookhouse, Mrs Frank, Miss Wainwright, Mrs Evans, Miss Minnett, Mrs Minnett, Miss Evans, Mrs Powell, Mis Mole, Mrs Hayward, Mrs Davies, Mrs Hayward, jun., Mrs Hackney, Miss Whitridge, Mrs Fulcher, Mrs Kempster, Mrs Whit- field, Miss Pierce, Miss Hickson, Miss Ooeke, Miss Ed- wards, MrsEyeley, Miss Clay, Miss Edwards, Miss James, Miss Holt, and the Misses Minshall. The mottoes were of the usual kind and included — Honour, riches, marriage-blearing Wng Long continuance, and ineasi, Hourly joys be still upon you Juno sings her blessings on you." "Long Life and happiness to Mr and Mrs Stanley Leigbton," "May their union be happyl"* God bless the married pair," &c. Amongst the gentlemen who did all they could to make the proceedings successful were Mr Clarke, Brookhouse, who devoted himself mainly to the children, but was quite prepared to lend a hand just where a hand was wanted; Mr Wainwright, the honorary secretary, Mr J. Whitridge, Mr Mole, Mr Eyelev, Mr Hayward, Mr Fulcher, Mr Davies, the Nant, and Mr Whitfield, the last named superintending the foot and donkey races, leaping, &c. There were about 130 races of different sorts for money prizes of 10s. and under, and for tea, gown pieces, hata, tobacco, caps and ether things. Among the competitors in the foot races were several women, and considerable amusement was caused by these races, for as soon as a lady found she was los- ing ground she clutched at the clothes of her riv^l and not seldom missed her hold and was thrown to the ground. The spectators seemed to enjoy each race in proportion to the number of mis- haps. In the two mile race there we:*e eight entries, and Groves came in 1st, and Price 2nd, the winner re- ceiving 10s., and the second 2s. 6d. In the 200 yard race, 1st 7s. 6d., 2nd 2s, 6d. Price was first, and Groves 2nd. The high jump was won by Groves, Neild being second. Some of the lesser boys were engaged all the afternoon in "swarming" a pole, and trying to catch packages of sweets fastened round a hoop. some of the packages contained flour, and of course as they had to be seized by the mouth it is easy to see in what the Jfun consisted. There were several smart runs after some lively wild rabbits, which were s arted out of a hamper. In no case did the rabbit succeed in eluding its pursuers, though in one or two cases the crowd was for a time left far behind.. After the rain had ceased falling the number of visitors began to increase rapidly, and when the fireworks under the management of Mr Follows, of Stafford, were commenced, there was a very large crowd present. Some baloons were let off, and the fireworks, notwithstanding the unfavourable weather, were a great success, and evidently p'eased those present, if we may judge from the applause which greeted some of the more brilliant displays. There was a Punch and Judy on the ground, and in addition to all that we have mentioned there was kiss-in-the-ring, and other < ut-door games, which need no expensive appliances and bill, little skill, and are none the less popular on that ac- count. co, n lars were present from Morton, Gromven, House of tu us ry, arcj JVIorda schools, and were regaled with buns tfc.wi.0 e an(^ after tk0 fireworks were ended, a vote anl lemonade; and after the fireworks were ended, a vote t ?. 3 ^s passed to the committee, and several rounds Leiebton ers were ^ven.for Mr and Mrs Stanley t NVe understand that the committee have voted the sum of towards the steeple-chasing. Full particulars of the d ;mons rations which are to take place on the return of Mr anl Mrs Leighton will appear in future advertise- ments. B WLCHYCIEAU, NEAI: LLAICFYLLIN".

We take the following'"account of the wedding from The Queen %r ouqhurad;ty Sporting August 28th, a gay gathering took place at St; Peter's Qtiurcb, Eaton-square, London, on the occasion of the narriagoof Stanley Leighton, Esq., and Miss Jessie Marfe Williams Wynn, daughter of Bertre Williams Wynn, Esq. The bride, who wa's"giveD away by her father, entered the church at twenty minutes to twelve. She was followed to the -altar lty'-«Sjgl& %^des-; maids—two were children—Who wore ^hite mnsliti dresses- flounced with small flounces to the waistbodiceS: being very prettily trimmed with blue silk, with broad bine sashes falling at left side. Wreaths of jessamine, and white tulle veils. Also each bridesmaid had a very pretty favour of jessamine attached at left side. Handsome gold lockets with blue stapes. The bride herself was dressed in rich white corded silk, front Width entirely covered with Brussels lace; very long train also trimmed with deep lace and puffings of tulle each side; a hand- aome white satin sash and large spravs of orange' blossoms bodice-heart open, ftUting of tulle wild or»ngfe; W°f»IM.1NOn4 ;3 Oiwnoud ^artdnga.vfeold obfcnV *«und neck, with elegant diamond cross, tnlfo -veil, of blossoms. The early morning was very fine, but as the wedding party left the church a heavy shower of rain caused considerable delay and inconvenience. Weddin breakfast was served at the residenceof the bride's parents 24, Grosvenor-gardens. The service was very impres- sively performed by the Rev. Studham Brownley.

AUDACIT5T OF TRAMPS.A correspondent writes :-This district is infested at all seasons with those "varmints" called tramps. A short time ago the occupier of Eunant Farm allowed two of them to have quarters in one of the outbuildings, and in payment for this kindness they car- ried away a bundle of sheepskins, and made off towards Bala to sell the same and only a few days ago a gentle- man, one of a grousing party, happening to be alone and out of sight of the keepers, on the mountain, was met by a sturdy tramp, who demanded money from him. When re- fused and ordered off, he became more impudent and daring, and closed in within a couple of yards for an attack, as-was bclievrd, with a concealed knife, but upon the gen- tleman threatening to fire at him if he came nearer, the rastal bolted off. The same fellow had been lurking about the mountain, eutskirting farms and houses for some days, and making enquiiies as to those in the neighbourhood grousing at the time, and other matters.
