Mr Eobert Lamb, a"n ! eminent architect of Darlington, ( whose departure from England ' for ;'this colony we referred 1 td a : short tMe" -Mcjcl' "'Here; by- the Celteno. In Darlington Mr Lamb held a high position- .in 'his' profession, but failing-health has, induced, him. to leave a large and' lucrative practice in' the" hope of .finding in,. New. Zealand, -a ..more congenial climate. Before leaving Home" he received, most flattering., presentations both at Darlington and at Newcastle, one of them being from the Northern Architectural Association > of which Mr Lamb had been a member for 21 years. The address, which Avas accompanied with a purse of sovereigns* was signed by the- President and othei' officers of the association, and expressed the sympathy of the members with Mr Lamb in that he should be compelled by ill-health to relinquish, the: duties. of 'his profession, which" he ' had so long and honorably fulfilled in England; and should be obliged tb -geek for 1 the re-establishment of his health in New Zealand. Regret was also expressed at, the loss to the society of one who by his courteous and gentlemanly conduct had gained the esteem of all. Mr Lamb is evidently a gentleman whose advent amongst us may bo regarded as a gain to the community, and while expressing a hope that he may obtain to the full the renovation of health which ho is seeking, we trust he will also meet with success in his profession.

The London Society of Arts, of which the Prince of Wales is President, have it in contemplation to publish a Universal Catalogue of all books that have been printed in the United Kingdom. The matter has been referred to the council of the society, and the recommendation they make is that before the inquiry into the cost of printing the Universal Catalogue is carried further, the Government should be asked to print a catalogue of the printed books in the British Museum, down, to IS7B. The Museum catalogue alone is expected to comprise 45 volumes of 1000 pages each, 55 entries to a page. The council have had a specimen page of the Universal Catalogue printed, with the view of ascertaining how many copies arfe -likely to be disposedof. " ; ' .
