Considerable sensation has been excited in the mindset archaeologists by the recommendation of a Committee of the Town Council of Yarmouth to sell the ancient 'Tolhouse Hall , in which the municipal business has been transacted for the past six hundred years . It is an almost unique specimen of Early English architecture , and it is not surprising that Sir John Lubbock , Bart , ALP ., and
gentlemen of local influence should be exerting themselves with a view to inducing the Corporation to retain the Hall and allow it to be utilised as a public museum .

to us on our arrival at East Cowes , and for the good wishes which you express for our future happiness .

" His Royal Highness the Dukeot Albany intends to join the Queen at Balmoral .
It is in the order of things that the sincercst regret should have been felt at the absence from the proceedings of the Preston Guild on Tuesday , of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Albany , and the circumstances which caused it . I he disappointment on the part of ( raftsmen generally , was all the greater seeing how eagerly they had been looking forward to their presence and the leading part
which our Royal brother would have played on the occasion of laying the foundation stone of the new Ftee Library and Museum .
