Farnham Castle; the Lord Bishop of Winchester. - This is a place of very considerable interest. The present bishop, being a scientific botanist, and much attached to gardening, has made great improvements in the grounds about the castle. The old walls, the keep, the ramparts, and other places which formed part of the original fortification, and were, till lately, covered with weeds and bushes, he has converted into ornamental walks, commanding extensive prospects over the town and adjoining country, and bordered with exotic flowers and climbing shrubs. An old kitchen-garden he has turned into a flower-garden, and at Charing Cross even more commonplace than that which has been erected. It contained three tiers of glazed windows, and eight or ten doors at regular distances; and, in fact, was only distinguishable from a row of street houses by having a central portico and some other columns and cupolas. If these had been removed, it would have been impossible to distinguish the proposed public building from a row of private houses.
