archa3ology than the proceedings of this extraordinary fra-
ternity. Thanks were voted by acclamation to Mr. Bru-
nel and Mr. Godwin, and the meeting was adjourned to
the 24th.
The President, Earl de Grey, will entertain the mem-
bers of the Institute, at his house in St. James's-square, on

will soon be a sad deficiency of effects—f9r what aro nine
among so many ?...Lincoln Gazette,
