papers claiming particular attention may be mentioned that, by Mr. Parker, on the Corona Lucis of the Emperor Frederic Barbarossa at Aix-la-Chapelle; that on Jarrow Church, by Mr. Orlando Jewitt, and the account of the recent remodelling of the interior of the Chapel of Worcester College, Oxford, the authorities of which, in the language of the writer of the paper, have "had the rare courage now-a-days to spend their money on art instead of mere bricks and mortar," and have thus set an example that it is to be hoped may be extensively followed. The other departments of the Magazine will also be found replete with interest. The proceedings of all the most important Learned Societies are fully reported, so far as they concern the archæologist; many highly interesting questions are discussed in the Correspondence; a conscientious estimate is given of various works received for critical notice; and the record of Births, Marriages and Deaths among the upper classes of society has been carefully kept up, with the addition of Obituary notices wherever the necessary materials have been supplied. The GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE has long been regarded as an authority on family history, and SYLVANUS URBAN, in conclusion, requests communications from relatives or friends that may enable him to sustain its high character in this particular department, as it must be obvious that perfectly trustworthy statements can only be expected from such sources.

ARCHEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. THE commencement of the annual meeting of the Archæological Institute at Warwick under the presidency of Lord Leigh, Lord Lieutenant of the county, has been fixed for Tuesday, July 26. The proceedings, which present an unusual amount of attractions, will extend to Aug. 2. The Dean of Chichester, the Master of Caius College, and Mr. Beresford Hope have consented to preside in the sections, History, Antiquities, and Architecture, respectively. The Earl of Warwick and many of the local magnates have welcomed cordially the visit of the Institute; the noble Earl has liberally permitted the treasures of art and antiquity preserved in Warwick Castle to be available for the temporary museum, for which an unusually favourable depository has been provided in the spacious Corn Exchange. The Corporation have placed at the Society's disposal all public accommodations, and efficient co-operation is tendered by the Warwickshire Archæological Society, whose museum is at Warwick. The Castle, a feature of singular interest, will doubtless present to Mr. Hartshorne a subject not less important as an example of military architecture than any on which he has heretofore discoursed, and Mr. Scharf promises to set forth the merits of the noble assemblage of paintings which it contains. Kenilworth, Stratford, Coventry with its fine churches, St. Mary's Hall, and picturesque relics of domestic architecture, will be visited. Professor Willis has undertaken to give the architectural history of Lichfield Cathedral, and a day will be devoted to that remarkable fabric, easily attainable by railway. The ancient association of Coventry with the see of Lichfield may justify this extension of the proceedings beyond the limits of Warwickshire. Mr. Staunton has placed at the disposal of the Society the invaluable county collections preserved at Longbridge. The arrangements, under the friendly care of the Mayor of Warwick and an efficient local committee, will speedily be made known, and programmes obtained at the office of the Institute, 1, Burlington Gardens. THE FAMILY OF MARSHALL. SIR,In the June Number of the GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, your corre spondent, George W. Marshall, LL.B. at the end of the Pedigree of Marshal wishes for information as to any other families of that name.
