It will rather astonish our readers when we- infonqa them that this apple weighs 14£ oz.,and measures in circumference 13^" inches. It appears to us quite time tha_tSunae means'for chronicling the productiveness of the soil in jLytteUon was- attempted; ; on this ground alone, we welcome the establishment of the:Lytteit(>n and .Port'Victoria'Hoi-ticultural Society. Hitherto, in the on dit of the Port. Mr. IVonnaid's specimens of juicy apples, delicious peaelies, arid mellow plums, have bqrne off the esculent prize; and although these combine^ tolerable dimensions with their other virtues, yet in size th.ey were iuferior to the apple Mr. Ba^~ lard has forwarded to us. CHKisxcHUßqH.—rWe regre,t.tp announce that the Bey. J.
