Mild Winter in great Britain.

--On Christmas Day, in the neighborhood of Exeter, Eng., primroses, ripe wild strawberries, and a number of spring and summer wild flowers were gathered in the hedge rows. The season is astonishingly mild in Devonshire. The Kings county (Ireland) Chronicle, of Christmas Day, says:

‘ We have seen this week a bouquet of wild flowers, containing some dozen specimens of daisies, buttercups, cranesbill, and primroses, the latter with all the perfume of spring. This, we believe is almost unprecedented, and testifies to the genial mildness of the present winter in a remarkable manner.
