     We are glad to learn that the health of the Countess of Carnarvon has undergone material improvement since her return to the family seat,
Highclere Castle, new Newbury.   The Countess is now able to take daily drives in the park and neighbourhood.

     Mr. Stafford HOWARD and Sir Wilfrid LAWSON have left London for the season.

     At the late anniversary meeting of the Royal Archælogical Society, Mr. R.S . FERGUSON was elected a member of the Council.

     The Lord Bishop of the Diocese has instituted the Rev. T. GREGSON, M.A., to the Vicarage of Rusland, Lancashire; the Rev. T.B.C. WREN to the Rectory of Corney, Cumberland; and licensed the Rev. T.G. HOLT to the Curacy of Cartmel, Lancashire.

     The Cumberland Volunteers will not take part in the great review on the Knavesmire, York.   The expense would have been great, and to the corps in the west of the county the journey there and back would be onerous in the extreme.

     The Directors of the North British Railway have appointed Mr. W. H. BARLOW, C.E., President of the Society of Civil Engineers, to prepare plans for the reconstruction of the Tay Bridge.   Mr. BARLOW was one of the commissioners of the Board of Trade to inquire into the cause of the disaster.
