fully sculptured panel showing the conflict of the two frigates in 

 Belfast Lough, off Carrickfergus. A further monument that 

 attracted considerable attention was one by the great Foley to 

 the memory of General Nicholson, who was killed in India in 

 1857. Lord Roberts during his command in Ireland visited 

 the Cathedral to see this memorial to his old commander. The 

 chancel of the Cathedral has been recently erected, and in it are 

 memorial wnndows to the late Sir Richard Wallace, to one of 

 which his Majesty Edward VII. subscribed when Prince of 

 Wales. Canon Pounden then exhibited the church plate, which 

 dates from 1757, and some old prayer-books from the Dublin 

 press of 1 72 1, also the ancient charter of the Cathedral. In 

 the church are many rural tablets to the Huguenots who, after 

 the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, found a home in Lisburn, 

 helping to create its trade, and they now, with many of their 

 descendants, sleep around its walls in the churchyard. We 

 must not forget to mention that the headless remains of Harry 

 Munroe were interred here, but the actual site is lost ; it is sup- 

 posed to have been where the new chancel now stands. Henry 

 Munroe was the leader of the rebel movement in June, 1798, 

 and,, being defeated at Ballynahinch, was caught, tried, and 

 hanged in front of his own residence in Lisburn, then beheaded, 

 and his head "ciked" on the Market-house in the brutal custom 

 of the age. After a repose of nearly three hundred years in a 

 forgotten grave, time has discovered and honoured the remains 

 of Paul Jones, and it would be hard tO' say that it has not a 

 similar honour in store for Monroe and his band of 

 enthusiasts. So' much interest was aroused in and about 

 the Cathedral that it was diflficult to tear oneself 

 away from it and its memories. Time, however, com- 

 pelled the conductor to sound his peremptory whistle, when the 

 Canon invited the party to the schools, where he entertained 

 them to light refreshments, which were very welcome ; and, 

 with many expressions of thanks to- him for his kindness and 

 hospitality, the journey was resumed. The next halt was at 

 Ballinderry, where the numbers were increased by members who 

 arrived by motor, train, and cycle. The parish of Ballinderry
