The presi dent afterwards referred to the regret which they all felt at the sad and sudden death of their very distinguished honorary member, Dr. Whewell, late Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. His was the only loss last year of a very eminent man within their own body, while English art had to mourn the decease both of Sir Charles Eastlake and Mr. Gibson. Mr. Hope next drew attention to the fact that amongst the many prominent subjects affecting architectural pursuits which were brought before Parlia ment last session was a question relating to the improve ment of the dwellings of the labouring classes. The whole-' sale demolitions perpetrated by different railways in London and other towns was the main cause which led the Legis lature to turn its attention to the subject. Let them trust it would be one upon which the eyes both of the upper and middle public and of the Government would be ceaselessly directed, for it was one in which, as a nation, they had as yet failed in their duty, both to their fellow-creatures and to themselves ; to their fellow-creatures, as it was a matter of humanity ; to themselves, as it was one of general health. In conclusion, the president congratulated the Metropolitan Board of Works on having laid the first stone of the southern embankment, and observed that he gave reasons last year why he regarded their architectural future with hopefulness ; to these reasons he was able to pledge his continued and increased confidence. True to themselves let them only be, and no selfishness, no stingyness, or igno rance displayed by the world, which was so largely their debtor, could check the architecture of Great Britain in its onward course of great and rapid improvement. Mr. Digby Wyatt proposed, and Mr. Gilbert Scott se conded, a vote of thanks to the president for his able and interesting address ; Mr. Fergusson, Lord Houghton, and Mr. George Godwin warmly supported the proposition, which was carried by acclamation, and the proceedings of the general meeting terminated. full liberty the supreme authority and that juris diction over the Church that have been divinely MRS.

Royal Institute of British Architects. The first ordinary generally meeting of the session 1866. 67 took place last evening at the rooms of the institute Conduit-street, Regent-street— Mr. Beresford-Hope, M.P. the presldent, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN announced, amongst other things, tha the secretary had before him the longest list of new fellows and associates to be proposed on this occasion that ho had ever yet known onlone evening. The names having been read, The SECRETARY stated that the list of contributions was also of a most liberal and satisfactAy nature. Amongst them was a magnificent work on Indian architecture which had been presented by Mr. Murray., and another copy of the same publication by the Secretary of State for India. Mr. GOODWIN said that the thanks of the institute were eminently due to those Indian gentlemen through whose subscriptions the work had been produced. The CHAIRMAN then delivered his opening address, which congratulated the members of the institute upon the fact that her Majesty had grac i o usly permitted them to prefix the word "Royal" to the name of their association. After expressing the deep regret which was generally felt by lovers of art at the death of the beloved and honoured president of the Royal Academy, and alluding to the cir cumstance that his place had been filled " by the election of an academician who had shown himself a vigilant sen tinel of artistic independence at a crisis which had put his courage to the proof," the address went on to descant at some length upon the recent attitude of art politics in re gard to the Royal Academy and the National Gallery. The result of the late Government's decision was to fix the permanent home of the National Gallery in Trafalgar square, and, after the discussions of the past session, this result remained unchanged ; but, fortunately, there was only one opinion in or out of Parliament, that neither in size, arrangement, nor external appearance is the structure worthy of its destination, even after the ap propriation of the half now used by the Academy. In refer ence to the coming Palace of Justice, Mr, Hope observed that last year he had occasion to express his anxiety that it might be worthy of its destination and of the empire. This year he could confidently say that the list of competitors gave the material guarantee that the building would fulfil the expectations of artistic patriotism, provided only that the judges show themselves competent, and Parliament, in years to come, was generous enough not to grudge the necessarily large sums requisite to bring so grand a work to its legitimate completion. In calling attention to the prospects of British architecture and of the cognate arts at the coming French Exhibition, the president stated that the committee of this and other architectural societies had been recognised by the British Commissioners as the body to be relied upon for accomplishing the gallery of British architectural drawings in the Fine Arts Department, and also as organisers of a court of manufactured productions referable to architecture and the cognate arts. Out of these arrangements had grown a project, of which he was grate ful to say that they owed the suggestion to Mr. Cole, which promised to be alike useful and full of interest. The tale of designs which they should be able to exhibit at Paris would be comparatively small, while the number they should de sire to send would be proportionately very numerous. In face of this difficulty the South Kensington authorities had undertaken to arrange for them a preliminary exhibition in London, commencing at the beginning of December, in the spacious range of galleries at South Kensington, which were during last summer, and would again next season, be occupied by the National Portrait Exhibition. After dwelling for some little time upon the relations which had hitherto existed between this institute and the Architec tural Museum (which, he observed, was founded in 1851, to meet a necessity which was even then palpable and in creasing), Mr. Hope proceeded to notice the programme of prizes which the ' council had proposed for the forth . coming year, and that amongst them Was one to be Allocution of the Pope. ROME, Oct 30. The following is the text of the allocution upon Italian affairs, deliiered by the Pope at the secret consistory held yesterday : " Venerable Brethren,—More than once, in the fulfilment of our apostolic office, we have lamented, both in our published letters, and in divers allocu- tions pronounced in this very noble assembly, the afflictions long weighing in Italy upon the affairs of our most holy religion, and the very grave insults inflicted upon ourselves and the apostolic chair by the Subalpine Government. You will therefore understand the sorrow with which we are now over come when we see that Government, with daily increasing passion, incenantly attack the Catholic Church, her salutary laws, and all her sacred minis ters; when we see, alas' venerable bishops and men of the greatest integrity among the clergy, and other very virtuous Catholic citizens, without any regard for religion, justice,and humanity, sent into exile by. that Government, or thrown into prison, or con demned to reside at a stated place and molested in the most unworthy manner ; when we see dioceses deprived of their pastors to the very great prejudice of souls, virginssconsecrated to God carried away from their convents and reduced to meudicity, the temples of God violated, diocesan seminaries closed to the members of the clergy, the instruction of the Catholic youth taken from Christian discipline and entrusted to professors of error and iniquity, and the patrimony of the Church usurped and sold. That same Government, despising ecclesiastical censure, and paying no attention whatever to our most just demands, and those of our venerable brethren, the bishops of Italy, has sanctioned similar laws en tirely contrary to the Catholic Church and to her doctrine and her rights, reproved by us, and has not hesitated to promulgate a law touching civil marriage, as we call it—a law not only quite con trary to Catholic doctrine, but also to the welfare of civil society. Such a law tramples under foot the dignity and sanctity of marriage, destroys that in stitution, and encourages an altogether shameful concubinage. In fact there can be no marriage between the faithful without there being at one and the same time sacrament. Thus, it belongs exclu sively to the power of the Church to decree every thing which may concern the sacrament of marriage. " Further, that Government,wounding in a sens ible manner the state of public profession of evan gelical vows which has had, and always will have, force in the Church of God, and misconceiving the very great benefits of regular orders, which, founded by holy men and approved by. the Holy Apostolieal Church, have deserved admirably of the civil and literary Christian world by so many glorious labours and so many pious and useful work; has not feared to sanction a law suppressing, through the countries under its dominion, all religious bodies (corpora tions) of both sexes, and has appropriated to itself all their property, and much other Church property, and has ordered its partition. Before entering into possession of the province of Venetia, it has not hesitated to extend the same laws to that country, and has ordered, contrary to all law and right, the entire destruction and annihilation of the convention entered into by us with our very dear son in Christ Jesus, Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria. " In consequence, faithful to the very grave duty of our apostolic ministry, we raise anew, in this very noble meeting, our voice in favour of religion, the Church, her holy laws, and the rights of authority of this chair of St. Peter, and with our utmost strength we deplore and reprove all and every of those things which have been decreed, done, and attempted by the Subalpine Government, and by every ether subordinate authority against the Church, her laws, and her rights ; and by our apostolic autho rity we abrogate and proclaim null and of no effect and without force or value all the said decrees, with everything attaching thereunto. We also call upon their authors, who glory in the name of Chris tians, to call to mind and seriously to consider that they have, unhappily, incurred the spiritual cen sures and penalties inflicted by the apostolic consti tution, and the decrees of the cocumenical councils upon whomsoever attacks the rights of the State. " You know, venerable brethren, that certain astute men fight against us, and interpret in their sense the benediction we gave to Italy when, as suredly without any personal merit, but thanks to the impenetrable judgment of God, we spontaneously pronounced words of pardon and peace out of affec tion for the populations of the Pontifical State. In truth, filled with the solicitude for the happiness and the fidelity of the entire flock, imploring in our prayer to God the welfare of Italy, we prayed with fervour and humility that he would deliver her from the evils by which she was tried, that the most pre cious gift of Catholic faith might be all powerful in Italy, and that sobriety of morals, justice, charity, and all the Christian virtues might flourish in her more than ever. Even now we do not cease to offer up to God the most fervent prayers that He will deign in His benevolence, to deliver the Catholic population of Italy from the many and great cala mities of every sort by which they are oppressed and assailed through the fault of the governors of the country, and from multiform persecution. But, above all things, we supplicate the Lord of all mercy to strengthen and fortify the peoples of Italy by his celestial aid, in order that they may remain stedfast and immovable in the divine faith and in their re ligion, and that they may endure and su pp ort so much adversity, so many evils, with Christian strength. " Insensate, however, who deduce from this, aniled d do not cease to ask that we , who, already despo by the most manifest injustice of several provinces of our Pontifical domains, should further renouolic nce our civil sovereignty , and that of the apost chair. Every one m ust assuredly see how unjust and prejudicial to the Church is such a demand. By the special will of Divine P r ovidence, as we have said upon an other occasion, it happened that when the Roman empire had fallen, and was divided into several kingdoms and divers States, the Roman Pontiff, among so great a variety of kingdoms and in the then existing state of human society, was in vested with his civil sovereignty, by means of which, never aubjected to any laical power, he exercises in our most holy religion, and of the salutary doctrine both of virtue and justice, must watch for the salva tion of all—how can we march in concert with those who, not supporting the healthy doctrine, and re fusing to listen to the truth, depart from us, with those who have never been willing to accede to our desires nor do right to cur demands, tending that the many dioceses in Italy deprived of comfort and pastoral protection should have their bishops ? " May it please Heaven that all who so vehe mently oppose the Church, ourselves, and this apos tolic chair, turning their gaze and their souls towards truth and justice, may once for all become en lightened, and, returning to themselves, and pro viding for the safety of their souls, moved by salu tary repentance, may prevail upon their minds to come back to us. Nothing would be more agree able than to go to meet them, following the ex ample of the father in the gospel, and to embrace them, congratulating ourselves in the Lord that these our children were dead and are alive again, were lost and are found. It would then be seen that our august religion—the mother and the fertile source of all the virtues, and the scourge of vices —leads equally to the individual happiness of each and to the public prosperity of all. There, indeed, where religion and her salutary doctrines prevail, necessarily flourish sobriety of morals, integrity, peace, justice, charity, and all the virtues. There the people are not overwhelmed by those serious ills which crush them miserably wherever religion and her doctrines are misunderstood. " From the deplorable facts briefly and sorrow fully told, and from sad contemporary events in Italy, all the world may easily see and divine to what great perils this apostolic see is exposed, and how it forms the target for very. bitter threats of rebellion, for the hatred of the unbelieving, and for the wrath of the enemies of the cross of Christ. " Fenians' voices sound continually from all quar ters, which desperate enemies incessantly echo, de claring that this city of Rome ought to participate in this most fatal Italian disturbance and rebellion, even so far as to become its capital ; but God, rich in mercy, will know how by his omnipotent strength I to frustrate the counsels and impious desires of our enemies. He will never permit this noble city, so , dear to us, whereby His great and most special bene- I ficence lie has placed the chair of St. Peter, the in expugnable basis of His faith and divine religion, to return to the unhappy condition so efficaciously de scribed by our holy predecessor, Leo the Great (St. Leo, Serm. 82, Al. 80. In natal. apostolor Petri et Pauli), in which it existed when the most glorious Prince of the Apostles for the first time entered this city, then the mistress of the world. " As for ourselves, although destitute of nearly all human assistance, faithful nevertheless to our mission, and absolutely confiding M the support of the all-powerful God, we are ready to struggle without fear, even at the peril of our life, for the cause of the Church divinely confided to us by the Lord Jesus Christ, and, should there be need, to re move wherever we may be best enabled to exercise our supreme apostolic functions. " And because, in so terrible a storm, the sole and best support must be prayer, we address ourselves to all the venerable brethren and bishops of the entire Catholic world, to all the Catholic clergy, and to all the children of Holy Mother Church, who have never ceased to lavish upon us all such striking testimonies of love and of respect, to come to our assistance in our very serious trials and those of the Holy See. We call upon them continually to offer, with faith, hope, and charity, fervent prayers to God for the defeat of the enemies of the Church, and their return to the way of salvation ; for, in the words of Chrysostom (S. Joan, Chrysostom homil. 13, in Cap. 11. generis), prayers constitute a powerful arm, a great security, a rich treasure, an excellent harbour, a most secure asylum, provided that, attentive and watchful, we present ourselves before the Lord with a collected mind, and without permitting any access to the enemy of our salvation. " In the midst of the great tribulations by which we are assailed we have one vast consolation, know ing that God, when His Church has no human suc cour, works marvellous prodigies, which most clearly display His omnipotence and His Divine hand, and which fully confirm the truth that the gates of hell shall at no time prevail against the Church, which shall always remain immovable, triumphing over her enemies until the end of time. " Butit is deeplysorrowful that it is not precisely settled that a nation must always preserve the most precious treasure of our Divine faith and our religion. " In fact, there are many nations which had faith fully preserved the deposit of faith and the discipline of morals. Alas they have been detached from that Rock upon which rests the edifice of the Church, anof separated from him to whom has been the polwemr. confirming the brethren and the feeding of i a and and the sheep, not agreeing among themselves, very enveloped in the darkness of err or, they are n great peril as to their salvation. o f o ur mission, " And here we cannot, by ea abstain from fervently adjurinrg; Lord, all sovereigns and othoeronsil der w ith care the observe good faith, and very grave obligation Sui;nersthe na me of the of peoples to incumbent upon them, to r espect for r eli g ion increase among th e ir subjects, an endeavour that lov e and d t extin g uished.

When summoned to a most severe judgment, they shall appear before the tribunal of Christ, they shall see how dreadful a thing it is to fall under the displeasure of the living God, and to encounter His most severe justice. " Lastly, we cannot doubt, venerable brethren, witnesses and associates of our labours, appreciat ing your excellent and well-known religion, your piety, and your warm love for Catholicism, that you will be heartily willing to unite your fervent prayers to ours, and to those of the whole Church, and maidwously to implore the most clement Father of mercy, that, through the merits of His only Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, He will take pity upon L ' Italy, upon the whole of Europe, and upon the The following notice from the Admiralty was l y o e ; s d t s e h r p a s y h p a o v s e t e b d e e i u n Woolwich o D a 1 0 l o c kwy all rd l: men, oTnhtehi the ten-hour system, entering the dockyard at 8 30 a.m. for a certain period, as an experiment, such workmen being informed that if any improper ad vantage be taken, or they avoid coming into the yard at the proper hour, and the work be in conse quence delayed, their lordships will have to recon sider the indulgence which they have granted, a n d will discharge any men who take au improper advantage of it. — W.

Alas ! we have lost within the last few days two of the very first men of their time, each in his own peculiar way. Mr. Charles Davis, her Majesty's late huntsman, and Mr. James Mason, better known as " Join Mason" throughout England and France, and probably throughout Europe, have been taken from us. When shall we see their like again? I remember asserting, many years ago, before a numerous party, that there were then three men in Eng land who were facile principes in their own professions, the second being Sir Edwin Landseer as a painter of ani mals in repose ; and the third, " Jem Mason," as a cross country rider. No one contradicted me. The great artist remains not only unvanquished, but clearly invincible. The third was never " collared" till the day when the ravages of a cruel malady forbade him any longer to get into his saddle. How well I recollect Mason when I first went as a little boy to Harrow School. He then often rode Mr. Harvey Combe's second horse. In spite of the excellence of the successive packs (Mr. Osbaldeston's was one), and the energy and liberality of the master, sport was rare, for the extremely difficult character of the old Berkeley coun try interfered with it. A fox would run short, turning at the end of a hedgerow as big as a small spinney—kills became less and less frequent, and we all know that every fox which might be, but is not, accounted for makes hounds more slack and less disposed to do their best to account for the next. But even in those days Mason's magnificent horsemanship and judicious eye for a country manifested themselves in the fine runs with f,r t Aoo he rwrmr, Qi oeowr ees l r acs : ania a nt nr n yya d i Do Burgh's of IntedoflsiealloydN,vtfikoierin nfaecaahrl staghoundscalled raid aand still over c,l h ll i e t _ I a th r 0 - '3 l e w s t a s I t 'D s h oaunl dinfer t i h o o r i i3 g e h r to exaggerate, bow many times he caught my mare during the latter part of a very severe run from Osenden-farm nearly to Beaconsfield. Mason, as your readers know, began his career as a first-rate rider to hounds, and in this line his excellence was so prominent as to in dicate to the best judges, such as Mr. Elmore, that he must, if tried, become a great steeplechase rider. And right, indeed, they were ! Those three words, "Mason on Lottery," have long represented the beau ideal of the crack cross-country rider on the crack steeplechase horse. I have often seen Mason win, but kdo not think that I ever saw him achieve his victory more magnificently than in a steeplechase over natural fences in a goodhunting country about four miles from Oxford, on, I think, Gay Lad, when he left M'Donough in the second place after a severe set-to. It was a real pleasure to see him in a run. His seat, hand, and nerve, his marvellous combination of eye for hounds, pluck, and elegance in the saddle, deEghted the eye, and his cheery way when a fox "broke" was enough to induce a doubtful goer to catch the contagion and ride "straight" in spite of himself, even if he had received before ho started from home for the rail a circular announcing a hoa7y call on several hundred £5O shares in some joint-stock company in course of winding-up. I never had better opportunities of observing Mason's excellence with'hounds than in some very agreeable days' sport with the harriers kept begossrs t ; Hall, at Neasdon.

Well might be with that high aquiline nose, those marked features, and that careworn look, have sat to Sir Joshua for " the Banished Lord" or for " Count Ugolino." I love to look at a proof engraving of "the Meet at Ascot-heath" hanging side by side with another chef-d'ceuvre of the same artist, " The Meet at Melton." Alas ! that of those whom the distin guished President of the Royal Academy has collected round the noble master of the royal pack, himself no more, and of those who in the other picture aro gently making their way to the gorse, so many lie cold in their graves— nay, that so many have been cut off in the prime of life!
