MEETING OF THE ARCH/Ea—
-0
GICAL INSTITUTION.
the
SALISBURY, TUESDAY.--The proceedings of
hbis
anniversary of this society commenced here
on,
mornincr. Torrents of rain fell up to the hour Jo,
pointed for the members to assemble, and this!iie
gether with the alarm consequent upon the prevals
sickness, caused a less numerous gathering than o
anticipated.
Shortly after twelve o'clock the Marquis of S
Inor
s
tharepton took the chair at the Assembl.74°; r?ord
supported byl the: Bishops of Salisbury and
Lora Braybrooke, the Right Hon. Sidney
bert, &c.
The Noble MARQUIS briefly addressed the•me,e,itneinff
1 in introducing to the chair the Right Hon. S 1""
Herbert as the President Elect for the year ensunk'of
and read a letter from Earl Brownlow,
expressive
regret at his inability to attend.
The Right Hon. SIDNEY HERBERT then took the
chair, and addressed the Assembly. He first referrlic
to the valuable aid which archaeology afforded to
ea
cause of history and to the cause of science. He they
noticed that within the small district which 511 r
rounded Salisbury we have presented to ue 0
perfect epitome of our history, in Celtic, Rol? a.
Saxon, and Norman times. Many of the leadl
objects of interest were then alluded to in detail '4".,
the Right Hon. Gentleman ; and the illustrious ID
of Wiltshire, who had shone as warriors poets, °,l
vines, and statesmen—the latter including the ,7,f
of Clarendon and Lord Chatham—were
seversiv
glanced at in very eloquent terms.
G. MATCHAM, Esq., of New House, Wilts read fir essay on the results of former archwological inve
gation in the district, which included notices of a
ll
the principal objects of interest therein. The Bishop of SALISBURY moved the thanks of te
meeting to Mr. Matcham for his able paper, Which bh
e,
oe
designated as characterised by that accurate obser,..o,
tion which the writer had displayed in the contrwyg
tions he had made to the history of the souther bf
division of the county. His Lordship concluded 1,,
lamenting that existing circumstances would lotehe
fere with those festivities which would otherwise so appropriate to the occasion, and that he bed beefy
compelled to inform the secretary that his ownl'
tended entertainment of the members at the rwa-e
could not take place.
The CHAIRMAN intimated that Sir Hugh fife,"
would allow parties of not more than fifty to hs free access to the collections of the late Sir Riellthe
Colt Hoare, at Stonehead, on Monday next.
Right Honourable Gentleman further said, in allue'"„-0
to what had fallen from the Bishop of Salisburf;
le
that it was the intention of the institute, as a tribute
of sympathy to those who had lost relatives in t
city, to abstain from all public festivity during the
meeting, and that the public dinner, appointed .for
Thursday would not take place.
The members then adjourned to the council challr
ber, where an elegant cold collation was provided hi
the members of the corporation, and in the eVening.
held a converzatione.
SALISBURY, WEDNESDAY.—The members re-se".
sembled at eight o'clock last evening for a converse`
zione, the Marquis of Northampton presiding.
sr
A paper was read by the Secretary, from the Re.
E. Duke, of Lake•house, Wilts, in illustration of his'
theory as to the astronomical character of Stonehenge/
and of its uses as an universal calendar
among the
Druids.
The Dean of HEREFORD gave a most elaborate
and
interesting account of the result of the researchee
prosecuted by him last week, in the barrows in the
neighbourhood of Abury, These researches es'
tablished the fact that the Romans bad used the
barrows as places of sepulture long after their origipeci
tenants, the ancient Britons, had been depositei
therein. For example, one of the barrows opeoeu
by the Dean contained fragments of a very rude 110
of British manufacture, with the bones of a child
while in the same barrow were the burnt bones of e
person of large size, interred after the Boncall
fashion, and pieces of veritable Samian ware Or;
rounded these latter remains. In another barrow teu
Dean found no less than 83 Roman coins (all brase)ci
some of them as late as Constantine. The Learn e
Dean pointed out that these discoveries disclosed s,
new feature in the history of the barrows in North
,
Wilts, which were hitherto supposed to be exclusive',
places of British sepulture, whereas it now appeer:
that they were likewise used by the Romans, or the
the natives had gradually introduced Roman mate°s
amongst them, until they had fully adopted the tilea:
ner of that people in respect of their mode of inite`-
ment.

The table was covered with the produce of the::
researches, which excited great interest in 1m
-
meeting.
The DEAN also reported that the tunnel in progr,;,i
under Salisbury. hill had been advanced to with
about two feet of the centre, where the cist or ,de-
posit of remains, is expected to be found; but that
the workmen had been ordered to suspend operatir.
until the members were present to watch the anticri
,-
pated discoveries, for which purpose the Dean Pr"-
posed an excurson thither on Wednesday next. t
This morning the members proceeded on their firs
excursion, carriages being provided to convey them
to Amesbury, whether they will inspect the numer-
ous British tumuli in that neighbourhood, and
la
wards wards visit Stonehenge and Old Sarum. A aPlenut
dejeuner has been provided for the members by Sir
Edmund Antrobus, on the site of Vespasian's camp'
near Amesbury.

We are happy to announce that Viscountess Castle-
reagh is recovering from her recent very
severe indism
pOSitiOn.
