Laws of Planetary motion." The Concert Roost of the
Castle Tavern, capable of holding 450 ..pOit';ollS, was
crowded, and numbers went away, Unahlo to effect au en-
trance. The composition of the audience was hhalily re-
spectable, and it gave us additional satisfaction to see that
a large proportion consisted -of young ladies. At the
conclusion of the Lecture, Mr. Mann, one of the Vices.'
Presidents, stated that on Thursday next Mr. Cowper
would open the regular course of Lectures, by one on the
application of machinery to carving and sculpture ; that the
annual subscription, entitling the subscribers to every ad-
vantage of the Institution (which appears to us very great),

of admission to the lectures will be 2s. Gd. A detailed
prospectus of the nature, objects, &c., of the Institution
has been issued by the Committee. A list was also read

volumes, besides other works.

LORD WINCIIILSEA AN 1-11 E ORANGEMEN.--
Lord Winchilsea has addroaed the following letter to Mr.
H. Maxwell, of Dublin :
" Eastwell Park, Nov. the 24th, 1E335.
" Dear Sir,—la consequence of the ob-Aervations contained
in the last Report of the Grand Orange Lodge, which appears
in the Standard of this day, and to which your name is
affixed as Secretary, respecting the letter which I lately ad-
dressed to the Members of the Synod of Aberdeen, I trouble
you with these few lines to expresS my great regret that any
part of that letter should have left an impression upon the
minds of a single Orangeman in Ireland, that I wished to re-
commend the suppression of Orange societies. i have only
to add, that valuing as I do these truly Protestant and loyal
associations, which I have long regarded as the great bul-
warks of Protestantism in that part of the united kingdom,
and of which I feel proud in being a member, it was farthest
from my wish to make any such recommendation. The sug-
gestion which I intended to make in that letter was the forma-
tion of one General Protestaat Association throughout the
empire, which I still hope to see effected, and which I sin-
cerely hope will receive the countenance and support of every
Orangeman it, Ireland.
" I have the honour to remain, dear Sir, with every re-
spect, your most obedient humble servant and brother,
"To Henry Maxwell, M.P. " WINCHILSEA,
LORD MILTON'S LAST MOMENTS.—AS this
event will long possess a melancholy interest, we give the
following, which we believe may be depended on :—Some
hours before he breathed his last the noble sufferer, posses-
sing a consciousness of the approach of death, affectionately
requested his lady to remain by him to the last, which she
of course did:. At the last moment., the chief personages
present were her Ladyship and her noble father the Earl
of Liverpool, the latter seated in melancholy silence on one
side of the bed, and the former with her elbow on his Lord-
hip's pillow, and her heed reclining -on' her hand, as she
anxiously beheld the ebbing of that life for which miliions
would gladly have been paid, were it possible, under any
circumstances, to bribe the common enemy of Our nature.
As soon as it was ascertained that life had expired, the
Earl of Liverpool rose from his seat and closed the eyes
with his nun hand, and affectionately taking hold of his
suffering daughter supported her out of the room, without
any other noise save that of the deep
,and expressive sobs
which nature in such circumstances can bi no means re-
press.—Shellidd Iris.
In consequence of the lamented death of the Dowager
Marchioness of Salisbury, the members of the Berklann-
stead Club have deferred the ball which was to have been
at the King's Arms the latter end of this month. Her
Ladyship had p.itrollized and attended it for a course of
years. The members have, therefore, done this as a tri-
bute of respect to the memory of her Ladyship and the
worthy family, as also expressive of the sorrow which they
felt for this melancholy and fial event.
HATFIELD HOUSE.—We have the melancholy
satisfaction to state that the body of the unfortunate Dow-
ager Marchioness of Salisbury was discovered yesterday,
very little injured. The head and one arm only were par-
tially burnt, and there is now no doubt of her havitsts
from suffocation. Her Ladyship was discovere-d hi one cor-
ner of the room, and the preservation of tice body was owing
to a beam of oak which fell io a tlirect;ou to protect the
person. It 15 nwo; ascertained that, previous to the awful
occurreace aI liotlield House, the Mirehicmoss bad partly
dressed for dinner, and, as she could not .bear the fatigue of
dressing entirely at, the same time, while she rested she dis-
pensed with the presence of her female attendant, who, in
the interim, was desired by her Ladyship always to talw her
tea with the other domestics of the householda aid then re-
turn. It was during the absence o.flassa waiting woman that
the tire commenced'. Vressious, however, to her quitting
the opartmen', the Marchioness desired her to tin‘:.:‘
