The Council of the Royal Irish Academy
have recently decided no awardieg ate of the Academy's

in recognition of the valor ef their respective

for his " Researches in Physical Optics, Magnet-
ism, and Meteorology ;" to Mr. Robert Hallett, for his

quakes ;" to Mr. J. T. Gilbert, for his "History of the
City of Dublin ;" and to Mr. Whitley Stokes, for his philo-
logical work, entitled "Irish Gloria," published by the
Irish Archsenlegical sad Celtic society.
THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT AND THE ROYAL
EKCHLNGZ Morro.—Various statements have been made
regarding the origin and cause of placing the motto on the
pediment of the Royal Exchange, '• The earth is the Lord's,
and the fulness thereof," the general impression being that
it was suggested by the late Prince Consort. Mr. Tite,
M.P., architect of the Exchange, thus explains the matter
in the City Press :—" As the work (the building of the Ex-
change) proceeded, Ids royal highness took much interest in
the modelling and carving of the various groups, and con-
descended vary frequently to visit the studio of the sculptor
in Wilton-pleas. Your readers may recollect that the
figure of Commerce stands on an elevated block or pedestal
in the centre of the group ; and it became a subject of earnest
consideration with Mr. Weatinacott and myself in what way
the plainness of this block could be relieved ; for although in
the original model on • small scale this defect did not
strike the eye, yet in the execution it was very apparent
Wraiths, fasces, festoons were all tried, lest the effect
was unsatisfactory; and in this state of affairs Mr. West-
moat submitted the difficulty to his royal highness.
After a little delay, Prince Albert suggested that the
pedestal in question would be a very appropriate situation
for a religious inscription, which would relieve the plain-
ness of the surface, in an artistic point of view, and at the
same time have the higher merit of exhibiting the devo-
tional feelings of the people and their recognition of a
superior power; and he particularly wished that such
inscription should be in English, so as to be intelligible to
all. This happy thought put an end to all difficulty ; and
as Dr. Hilman, the learned Dean of St. Paul's, had kindly
advised ine, in reference to the Latin inscriptions on the
frieze, and in the merchants' area, Mr. Westmacott con-
sulted him on this subject also; and he suggested the
words of the Psalmist, which were at once adopted."
THE LATE MRS. STANLEY. —The loss of this
lady will be deeply felt by a large circle of relations and
friends. Mrs. Stanley was the daughter of the Rev.
Oswald Loyeester rector of Stoke, Salop, and married Dr.
Stanley, afterwards Bishop of Norwich, on the Bth of May,
1810. She leaves two daughters, one married to the Rev.
J. C. Vaughan, D.D., vicar of Doncaster, and late head-
master of Harrow. It was hut the other day
her only movie* see, the Rev. Arthur Penrhva
Stanley, D.D., once of Christ Church, and Regius Pio-
forger of Eaderiestieal History at the University of
Oxford, took hays et her on proceeding to join the
Prince of Wales, to travel with his royal highness in
the East. Dr. Stanley is now, we believe, in Upper Egypt
with the Prince, and it is feared the sad intelligence cannot
reach him until the return of the royal party to Cairo or
Alexandria, on their way to the Holy Land. Bishop
Stanley, who died in 1849, was interred in the centre of
the uses of Norwich Cathedral, at the desire of the citizens,
sad a handsome slab placed over his grave. Subsequently
the dim led laity of the diocese united in subscribing to
redone the peat west window of the cathedral (in fact, pro-
viding s pew cad very beautiful window) to his lordship's
memory. It is thought most probable that Mrs. Stanley's
remains will= beside those of the deceased bishop
in Norwich
