The most remarkable exhibit at the last meeting of the Floral Committee on the 12th inst. consisted in some cut blooms of Tea Rose Puritan, which left New York on the 2d inst, and arrived in the docks at Liverpool at 2 A. M. on April 11. A messenger was awaiting their arrival, who, having secured his prize, left Liverpool by the 3 A. M. express, and delivered the roses to Mr. William Paul at Waltham Cross at 10 A. M. We commend this little history to members of Cobden Club, to Protectionists, Free Traders, and Fair Traders, as a nice problem in political economy. Here is a British rose raiser (Mr. Bennett), who raises a beautiful rose, and, doubtless for a consideration, sends it out of the country. Another rose raiser re-imports it in the form of cut blooms, having doubtless in his turn made some commercial arrangements with the American growers. But while the economists are discussing this question, is there not just a shade of a fear that the English flower-forcer may once more be beaten out of the market by the foreigner? - that is, if we are to consider the Americans as foreigners. Poor British grower: he gets no more than a halfpenny a pound for his tobacco, and New York competes with him in the matter of cut roses.

In any case it was a remarkable feat, for the full particulars of which we refer our readers to our report of the meeting in another column. - Gardeners' Chronicle.
