Very fine.--The Linnean Society, or rather a company, celebrated the birth day of Linnaeus, at Flushing, and after many speeches, ceremonies et cetera et cetera, the following novel event occurred, which we copy from the Statesman: "The festivities at the Hall were closed with the coronation of Dr. Mitchill by a young lady, who gracefully entwined his brow with a wreath of pine, when Mr. Clinton gave the following sentiment:-- 'The wreath of honour placed on the brow of merit by the hand of beauty. "Dignus, dignus, dignus es." Mr. Clinton will always have a hand at coronations.'"
