MEMORIAL To THE LATE LORD HERBERT.
A large and influential meeting of noblemen alai
gentlemeo of Wiltshire was held at Salisbury yesterday
for the purpose of contributing to some public and
permaoent record of the esteem and respect borne
I.y the inhabitants of the county to the per-
son and character of the late Lord Herbert of
Lea. Among those present were the Marquis of Bath,
the Bishop of Salisbury, Lord Ernest Bruce, M.P., Mr.
Thomas Bens., M.P., the Right Hon. T. Sotheres-
bita-ourt, M.P., Mr. W. Ewart, M.P.. General Buckley,
M.P., Mx. H. 'Sultry Seymour, M.P., Sir G. Hulse, Arch-
deicon Honey, Major Ileatlicete. the Her. Prebendaries
Lowther, V. Tape, Smart, and Renaud, Major Jacob, Mr.
Eyre, Mr. A. Seymour, the Mayor of Salisbury, Sc. Mr. S.
Ent:oust presided.
The Meyer of kistomusir proposal' the first resolution :
"Thst the sable example set by the late Lord Herbert is
the senses of his country, and in all the relations of private
life, of which we have been witness.,, appears to us to de-
mand some public and enduring memorial by which the re-
membrauco of his truly Christian character and life may be
preserved."
Mr. Eveiterr seconded the resolution, which was maul.
mously adopted.
Mr. T. Baum; moved, sod General lacer se•
waded -" That we should wish any manorial decided upon
to remind us both of the person of Lord Herbert aad his
devotion to every good work that tended to relieve the suf.
tering and promote the happiness and well-being of his
fellow-men."

The motion having been adopted. •
The Bishop of B.tiisiicar moved : " That in the opinion
of this meeting the most suitable mode of attaining the
twofold object referred to in the previous resolution is,
that u statue be erected in Salealtury, u the ripital town of
the county, and that a coovale.cent hospital be established
in some place deemed beat adapted fur that purpose, to be
called and known hereafter as the Herbert Couvalesccut
HuspitaL" The right rev, prelate observed that by the
death of Lord Herbert the diocese had lust the 1111112„Mil%
perhaps of all others, cooierred the greatest honour upon
the church. Ho long as be had lived at Salisbury, and had
been on intimate and constant relations with Lord Herbert,
be could conscientiously say that lie had had no good work
at heart in which he had not found a valuable embodier in
his Lamented friend, a counsellor, too, who was always ready
to second the monad he gave with the most liberal swain-
Lotion*. Speaking of Lord Herbert both aa a neighbour
and friend, he believed that God could not iu His provi-
deuce have indicted a greeter Ices upon him and all his
neighbours than He had dose in withdrawing him from
them.

Mr. A. SEYMOUR seconded the resolution, which was
adopted unimisnously.
Archdeacue HONEY and Mr. Ellie baying proposed a
formal resolution fur appuintiug • ouiumittee and opening •
subecriptioe list,
Mr. W. Roane M.P., moved, "That it be open to all
persons to Nebo:ribs to one or both objects, and that cub -
seriptious be received of tug aniouut, however smell, in order
that all classes may have an uppmtunity of testifying their
respect and affection fur Lord Herbert's memory." He
begged to express his deep obligation to Mr. Ruthenia Bet-
court fur the admirable manner in which he had cunibined
all the essential requirements which were desired in the
memonal. A statue was required in order that the
form and features of Lord Herbert might be handed does
to posterity, red the establidlineut of a convalescent hospital
would carry into effect what would bare been the desire of
the illuatriOus individual whom km they so deeply deplored. •
Though the statue most necessarily be of local interest, he
thought great judgrneut had been displayed in invitiug the
whole of the public to subscribe to • memorial which should
be solicited. The resolution he had the honour to impose
invited persons of every class, however humble, to contri-
bute their mite. Without desiring to obtrude upon the
attention of the meeting, he wished to bear his testimony
to the distinguished qualities of Lord Harbert. For 2.i
years he had been a member of the Hesse of Commas with
Lord Herbert, and he felt satistied that every nun who had
watched his public conduct fully appreciated the deep
jotriotisin of his motives. There was a degree of reeject
test for Lord Herbert which could hardly be conveyed in
words, but which must be left to the silent leagues* of
the heart. He knew not how he should convey the feeling
Le experienced better than in the words of Horace :
" son, Torquate, genus, non to facundia, non to
Iteatituet pietas."
Words world but. idly expecte the feelings with which he
regarded the untimely death of Lord Herbert, and this loss
which the whole country had sustained. (Hear' beer.)
. The Rev. Prebeodary I wniiia seconded the resolution,
which was agreed to.
The niceung was also addressed by Mr. DANDY SITMOCIt
sad the Rev. Prebendary Vine, who moved and seconded
the following resulutiou :—" That although our tint
anxiety will be to afford an opportunity to the residents of
the county am' neighbourhood to record our 'admiration of
the virtues of Lord Herbert, yet we respectfully invite and
wit. `gladly accept the comperation of any person in the
kingdom who dourest° join us in this work." (Cheers.)
be resolution havic,, been earned, • provisional
com-
mittre was formed, and the proceedings were brought to a
close with • vote of thanks to the chessmen.
