The ninth annual congress of the British Archreological Association will
be held at Newark from the 16th to the 21st of August inclusive. After the usual meeting of the General Committee, the proceedings of the congress open with an evening meeting in the Town-ball, at which the President, his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, will deliver his inaugural discourse. The excursion, commencing on Tuesday and continuing until Friday, will be made to Newcastle Abbey, Lincoln, Worksop, Clusnber, Belvoir, Hawton, Southwell, Thurgarton, Nottingham, and other places. On Friday there will be a public dinner, and on Saturday a closing meeting in the Teen-hall. We believe it is the intention of the Duke of Newcastle, Sir Oswald Mosley, and many other distinguished members of the Association, to accompany the i tourists in all their excursions. A better locality for its annual congress the members of the Association could scarcely have chosen, abounding as it does in monuments and memorials of past ages and delightful scenery. Newark with its reminiscences of King John, Sherwood Forest with those of Robin Hood, and Newstead Abbey with those of Lord Byron, will afford abundant interest to the tourists; and, should the weather prove propitious, they will have a most agreeable visit to the good town of Newark and the neighbour- hood.—.Derby .Reporter.
