[The Town Clerk read a letter from Mr. Hannaford, copy of which we subjoin. —

Frankland-street, Launceston,

4th June, 1866.

To the Worshipful the Mayor,

Chairman Public Gardens Committee.

Sir,— I have the honor to inform you that, per 'Havilah' steamer which arrived yesterday, I received from the Botanic Gardens, Melbourne, through the courtesy of Dr. Mueller, the Government Botanist and Director of the Gardens, two large cases containing over a hundred valuable pines and other plants suitable for the conservatory and shrubberies, which I have handed over to Quarry, the present Curator of the Gardens. Amongst the plants are several of the , or tree of Heaven, which may hereafter prove of value should the silk worm prove successful.

I shall feel obliged if you will have the valuable donation acknowledged to Dr. Mueller.

I am, &c

Samuel Hannaford.]
