HOWICK. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) September 25.
Yesterday evening having turned out so un pleasantly wet, the meeting of the Howick Dis trict Acclimatisation Society wai adjourned until Tuesday, October the 29th, when I have no doubt, weather permitting, that there will be a strong muster of the members, as, in all probability.the first batch of birds from England will have arrived. Everyone will be anxious to hear of their safe arrival, and of the treatment adopted on their voyage ; as, perhaps, if they arrive in good order, many private individuals may be anxious to send for different sorts of birds and animal*.
