England it was easier to read Virgil than Chaucer. He
concluded by urging that an improvement in our present
sty!. of epitaph w,,uld only bo eff,cted by the
stiject b:ing continually raised at meetings like that ho
addrcesed, and recommended memb Its of archaeological
societies to take special note of oily single instance of
goott or bad epitaph writings which came under their
kitoAledge, and to make it the subject of public comment.
The paper was very favourably received by the rreet-
ing, and a vote of thanks to Mr. Shirley Brooks, and
also to Mr. Evans, for their communications, was passed.
The audience comprised several of the clergy of the
county, and was further graced by the presence of a large
number of ladies.

Thanks having been voted to the Rev. Dr. Nicholson
for his conduct in the chair, the ino.,,ing separated.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
• LoucHROROUGU, APRIL 15.-7-At our market tc-day
wheat was held firm, as also was barley. Oats and beans
we, Pin go-d demand.
ButmINGHAM, APRIL 15.—At Gloucester and Wor-
cester markers on the lotb, Wheat was -rather lower,
but we make no alteration in our quo' atione. Barley
nr.intained its value. We had rather more doing in
Oats. Beaus fully as dear. Dating the present week
very little Wheat has been offering, none appeared to be
wanted. Some Barley changed hands at former prises.
Only retail •eles have been effected in o.4ts. B-ans and
Peas very little inquired for. At this day's market
there was again a short supply of Wheat from the far-
mers; and ahuugh tte currency of this day so'nnight
was firmly maintained, there was no life in the trade.
Barley held for former prices. Oats. in consequence of
the dry weather, were more inquired for, but without
leading to heavy transactions. Beans fully as dear.
Nothing worth notic9 doing in Peas.
