am% the demise of this venerable nobleman, who expired a
few days since at Lyons, in his sixty-fourth year. The de-
embed peer, George (lough Cslthorpe, was son of the first
holder of the first title, by Frames, daughter of General

HEREFORD DIOCEt4AN EDUCATION MEETING.—
The first meeting of this society, instituted in 1849, was
held in the College-hall, yestermy ; the Lord Bishop in
the chair. The treasurer (Rev. A. Clive) made a brief
statement of the finances. The receipts were about 1,3001,
and the expenses about GOOL—The Secretary (Rev. W. E.
Evans) read the repot.—The Bishop expressed, in opening
the proceedings, the regret and disappointment he felt at
not having been enabled to term a " training school " for
the diocese, but as that was found at present impracticable,
they had succeeded in forming the next best thing, a " har-
vest school," fur training masters and mistresses under the
master, and that from forty to fifty masters and mis-
tresses had availed themselves of such instruction for
one month.—The Rev. W. Evans fully detailed the
operations of the society. He stated the regret felt
by the board that their funds prevented them from availing
themselves of the liberal offer of the Worcester Diocesan
Society in uniting with them in the benefits of their train-
ing school now in operation near Birmingham. The terms
proposed, liberal as they were, would have exhausted all
their capital, and would have yearly required thrice the
amount of their present annual subscriptions—Lord Bate-
man said all the objections which he had at the onset enter-
tained against the society hail been; completely re-
moved, and he was able to say that the areMesecien7 of
Salop would in future give a more ready support to the
funds.—The Venerable Archdeacon Waring deemed secular
education without being based on the Bible as per-
nicious, nail not calculated to benefit tho people.
Ito referredto France as a confirmation of his view,
and with great vigour and power defended the pro-
poeition of religious education, with a frequent at-
tendance of the clergyman in assisting the labours of the
echoulmoter, and hoped that the principles of the Prayer-
book would be generally inculcated in the school. A lecture
in the week and chatechetical instruction on the Sunday by
the clergy would be productive of great good.—The Dean
of Hereford declared he should have been better satisfied if
Mr. Lomax, the training master, had given • report as to the
organised or disoessanmed state of the several sews he had
Maud. us bad little faith in the reports of the rural deans
and metr coadjutors, and should be better satisfied with a
report from the inspector, authorised from the Connell
of Education. It was a fact that only two parishes in
this county had placed themselves under government ,
inspection. That in the whole county there were only
three pupil teachers. Ilu entered into parliamen-
tary
and other returns to show the lack of education in '
this county as carinpared with the neighbouring counties of
Wormier and Gloucester. Other gentlemen, including
Lord 'aye and Sale, addressed the meeting, and the
assembly di-teemed on the carrying of the business resolu-
tions for appointing the officers of tho board. A number
of elegantly dressed ladies gave their presence to the un-
dertaking, nothing daunted by the inclement weather, for
the rain rattling against the windows rendered some of ,
the speakers nearly inaudible.
TfiE 3lEMlteits FUR YARMOUTH AND THEIR CON-
STITTENTS.—The reply of Mr. Itumbold to the requisition
calling upon the members for this borough to resign their
seats has this week been published by Mr. G. D. Palmer,
who has been waiting until this time for the reply of the
other representative, but none has been vouchsafed. The
reply of 'Mr. Rumbold is as follows:—" Mr. Rumbold has
received from Mr. Harrison a requisition signed by many. of
the electors of Great Yarmouth, calling upon him to resign
his seat in parliament for that borough. Air. Rumbold feels
that nu observation on this proposal is required from him,
and therefore simply declines complyi.o with it.-1, Eccle-

A44YlittAN I bucoveltlen.—We ate glad to hear
s
that the Lords of the Treasury have at length consented I.
advance to Colonel Rawlinses the suns of 1,5001., to enable
him to continue his explorations and exhumations in As-
syria. We may doubt if this step would have been even
thus tardily talCen, but that the value of the discoveries has
been so recently exemplified by Colonel Rawlinson, in rela-
lion to the history of Ilesekiah and Sennacherib. The grant,
too, is small, compared with the sums and means devoted to
a similar purpose in the same country by the French go-
vernment; it es only very, recently that a new expedition of
several ships, with abundant apmmnees, set sail from one of
the French ports. Colonel Rawlimon is to imam-
diattly to Bagdad, where he is the resident of the India
Company, and from thence be will go to any where
his direetious may be needed, and where the best
of future discoveries may be held out. He will alq keep
Open the works already commenced, but he is to set entirely
independently of Mr. Layard.
