Irswicrf, Thursday.
It had been arranged that on Wednesday an excursion
should be made to Colchester, where a large party of ladies
and gentlemen arrived by special train shortly after 10
o'clock. They at once proceeded to the Council Chamber,
where they were received by the mayor (Major Bishop), Mr
Papillon, M.P. for the borough, and several members of the
corporation. After the formal reception a paper was read by
the Rev. C. H. Hartshorne on the population and taxation
of Colchester. In the year 1301 a tax of a 15th was levied
on the personal property of the inhabitants, and Mr Harts-
horne gave some interesting instances of the value of pro-
perty possessed by the middle classes of that time—very few
had money, and the value of the goods possessed by most
was very small. In 1301 the number of householders was
389 now the population was 23,809; the tax of a 15th in
1301 produced £34 12s 4d, while In 1807 the taxation of
Colchester amounted to £4,758.
On leaving the town.hall the company walked to that
point in the ancient Roman walls of the town called the
Balkon-hill, where there are the remains of a gateway and
guardhouse, which Mr Hartshorne described as one of the
woe t perfect specimens of Roman masonry in the town, and
perhaps in England.

After leaving the Balkon-gate they walked along the old
Roman walls, which still rise many feet above the road
running outside them, till the ruins of the old castle wt're
reached. In the room now devoted to the purposes of a
library, in tne keep of the castle, the Rev. C. Hartsh .rne
read a paper on the castle, in the course of which he stated
that the keep was all that remained of the building, and it
was formerly surrounded by a fosse, which might have been
the work of the Romans or of a much later period. The
tower was octagonal in shape, and was constructed of flint
and Roman bricks, with facings of Caen stone. Mr Harts-
horne laid the date at which the castle was erected at before
the year 1130, and. among other observations he made on
the building and its history, said though the keep was larger
than those of other Norman castles in England, it was not
of so greet a height as the majority, but the vaulting was
more extensive than was usually the case. A recent writer
had asserted that the castle was Roman; but there was no
portion which could be attributed to an earlier period than
the Norman conquest, though the materials used in its
construction were partly Roman bricks, taken, no doubt,
from demolished Raman works in the neighbourhood.
After some conversation, all who took part in which
agreed with Mr Hartshorne that the castle was Norman,
the museum, containing some interesting remains, and the
extensive vaults under the castle were examined.

The ruins of St. Botolph's Abbey were next visited. This
abbey (originally deaicated to St. Julien and St. Botolph)
was founded in the beginning of the 12th century by a monk
named Inulph, who was the first prior. There are scarcely
any remains of the abbey except those of the Abbey church,
in the ruins of which the massive round Norman columns
attract the attention. The west fr is well known as a
most beautiful specimen of Norman architecture, the
ornamentation consisting chiefly of interlacing arches.
The principal doorwry is exceedingly handsome. Here a
paper descriptive of the history of the abbey was read by
Sir E. Roberts, F.S.A., who also acted as cicerone to the
gateway, which is alt that remains of the ancient Abbey of
it J..hn, which was founded in 109.5 or 1096, and finished
in 1120. The gateway, however, Is of a much later date,
bring of not very early perpendicular style.
Nat far from St, John's Abbey is a plain old church
dedicated to St. Giles, which contains the tomb of Sir C.
Lucas and Sir George Lisle, who held Colchester Castle
for some time against the Parliamentary army under Sir
Thomas Fairfax, and who, when at length the stronghold
was taken, were shot.

The only other place which time would permit the party
to visit was the Church of the Holy. Trinity, which has a
square tower, built of old Roman materia., about which
there is a doubt whether it is Saxon or Norman work. The
supporters of the theory that it is Saxon point to a doorway
with a triangular arch in the west wall of the tower, but
11r Roberts expressed his opinion that it was Norman
nevertheless. Mr Ciodwin, however, differed, and said he
could see no reason why it should not have been built before
the Cezqueat, and even uglily it was generally agreed that
it was either Saxon or very early Norman.

The corporation of Colchester had hospitably entertained
the members of the association at the Town-hall, at which
the mayor presided, and of which considerably more than
a hundred ladies and gentlemen partook. Atter the repast
the Mayor proposed the " Health of Mr George Tomline,
%P., the President of the A4oriation, with success to the
British ArcLEe )logical Association," and he thanked them
for the honour they had done Colchester in visiting the
town.

Mr TOULINB, in response. thanked the Corporation for
.he hospbad,y they hsd displayed.
Mr J. C, COBBOLD, M.P., then gave "the Health of the
Mayor;" and hip, worship havi,g responded,
Mr PETTIGREW enlarged upon the advantages derivable
from these annual congresses held in various pa, to of the
kingdom, not the least of which was that they were brought
Into contact with local societies; and be begged to thank the
Yen. Lord Arthur Hervey, the President of the Suffolk In-
stitute of Archmology, for the assistance and welcome be
tiad given them. (Cheers.)
Lord A. HERVEY returned thanks, and alluded to the
very pleasant and interesting day they had spent in Col-
chester, and proposed the healthy of the gentlemen who had
read papers.
This toast was acknowledged by Mr HARTSHORNE and
Mr ROBERTS, and the health of Mr Pettigrew and of the
ladies having been given, the company returned to Ipswich,
where a meeting was held in the evening.
