The usual stated meeting for June, was held on Tuesday June 17th. The exhibition was very good for a summer month, when few green-house plants are in bloom, and but a small variety of fruits matured. The saloon was quite crowded with visitors. Among the objects shown, some of interest only will be noticed. In Robert Buist's collection of plants were Jasmin urn teunifolium, of recent introduction, and shown for the first time; it is a beautiful, delicate species of that favorite genus: two seedling Gloxinias, remarkably fine and much admired - No. 1, bore flowers of a delicate blush with a white throat; No. 2, scarlet, with throat white, edged with crimson. Magnolia Exmouthii, a dwarf plant, bearing very large flowers; some dozen specimens of Pelargonia and as many Gloxinias, with Ericae, formed the, collection. From James Dundas' houses were three plants of Cereus grandiflorus, each bearing expanded flowers - Gloxinias, Lilies and Fuchsias. Thomas Meehan, gardener to A. M. East wick, (Bartram's garden.) sent fine seedling Calceolarias, handsome Fuchsias, and other plants, with three specimens of Chrysanthemums in flower, which he by management has bloomed in the summer season; the mode of culture by which he effected this result, he reported to the society in an interesting communication.

Cope's (President) houses, of the Black Hamburg, Lashmerc's seedling, white and grizzly Formtignac, white Constantia and white sweet water varieties, forming a spectacle of much attraction; from same source, was a very large specimen of the La Mercier cherry.
