The MAYOR of Dorchester (De. Aldridge), said
that.on his own behalf, as wells, that of the Alder-
ine4(o4 ChiIIMCLO Council Ind Bereaved, he begged.
to 4tlefltlo sea and every individual member of
thetr2moat honourable Inatitnta, the grateful and
molds 00,444 weloonie of thiseutinent borough. With,
a deep and profound sense of the vane of *entitle,

the ' n of. mrn over nature, and

inasmuch as they (the Mayor &c.), entertained a
well-grounded cvii ehartresTtTts of their
inviletagshiteak ia alocolity an favourable for anti-
quanan research, would neither be barren nor an
qafte-
table; on the contrary, they were led to hope
a ktanciiis aS they did on grounds where still,
'the lapse of ages, the footprints of the rulers of
the world might yet be trees& where every lunand

its beams relies of that undying era, he mightindsed

which they were the distinguished patrons.
The Hlstior of. Samovar said he rose to dile.
chat& *duty by request, and he did an moot cheer-
fully. vizse to express to his lordship (Lord Nearer)
and to the.oongreee. over which he was presiding,
the hearty Welcothe, of the clergy and laity of the
diofite of Sarum. He had great pleasure in under-
taking that duty, and in doing his beet to discharge
It. The objects of the Institute, he believed, were
Inca is net 'Atli-tie most cordial approbation of the
del& and laity
.of the diem's. He pet the clergy
endisity together, and he did an gladly, because he
wail thankfe to My that they would find that in
this 'part of . England they all united together in
every good work. The objects they were caned
together to unite to, he believed, might be described
as endeavours esa their part to do everything they
possibly amid le advance that which might be for
the glory of God; and for the welfare of their fellow-
ewe, and, be thought these purposes the Archeolo-
gical Institute had before it. Their great interest
lay 'in discharging their duties to the best of their
ability in the 'Resent generation—to do the work
which they had committed to them. He would
rented the noble chairman and the members of the
Itiefiinte present that it was utterly impossible
thorimghLy to discharge that duty as they ought—

obligations, if they neglected and Wets ignorant, of

undoubtedly fall into many great errors which they
might exbeeerkoke avoid, and also Mae much which
they might win from the experienoe of those who
had •gone before them. [At this juncture the
Manquem Camden entered the ball, with Mr. A. B.
Hews and ether gentlemen. The noble Marquees
took the chair, and apologised for his lateness, which
