We were not so fortunate as to find Sir Roderick, and shall make another attempt to-day. I then proceeded to Tennant's to take a Devonshire Madrepore table, which he had promised to lend me to illustrate my lecture to the Royal Institution. I went to Dr. Skey's, and then returned to my lecture, which you will remember was on the Corals and Sponges. It was quite as well attended as ever, and my audience was very attentive. The polished specimens excited very great attention, and the audience lin...gered long over them, and asked a multitude of questions ; then called on Sir C. Lyell. The only remark- able person at dinner at Miss Coutts', so far as I know, was Babbage. I was so fortunate as to sit very near him. I forgot to say that Fechter, the great Shakesperian actor, was at dinner. After our meal we went off to an immense upper room on the first floor, which was soon filled to the brim with men and women of all degrees, from dukes and bishops to artisans, to hear Fechter read selections from Hamlet, which he did most charmingly.
