Having referred , to the other distingui•hed benefactors of the college, Mead and Sydenhas and Belford, ito ' he compared the scientific and inductive process, by which Hervey proceeded in his discovery with the hasty generalisations of the mesmerists, the hydropathists, and the home° 4pathista of the day, for whamif nature effected a cure, they ascribed it to their own nostrums ; if, on the other bud nature did not help the curative promos, they contineet themselves with a caries. dues eat! The learned ember nest adverted to the prin eiple of blood letting, whisk Wof late been much discon tinued ; but he seemed*, maintain that in certain classes of disease it was indisputable ; and, indeed, a necessary consequence of the circulation of the blood.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1855. DEATH OF LORD RAGLAN. The brief illness of Mold-Marshal Lord Bail= hes tenalasted fa death. Os Friday, we were salhal et to snaosses tsetse Int has his lordship's iadiepositios, led in the mime of flatudsy to report that the eceusaadsr-ine chief of our 'stingray was so mere. Fitzroy James Henry Somerset, youngest eon of the fifth Bahia( Beaufort, by the daughter of the Hon. Admiral Bose:sun, was bora the 80th of September, 1788. " A prouder lineage" (it was remarked in the Daily Fries when Lord Raglan was made a Field Marshal) " few nes could be souseimas of then the Somenete and &pours, who went of the same stock, and a prouder man was never Bean in Bogland than the Duke of Somerset of two eentrisin ago, who had the highways cleared before him that he might sot be looked on by vulgar eyes, and who rebuked A/seemed wife for tapping his shoulder with a fan, saying,' Madame, my first wife wu a Percy, and she took sash a liberty. For the matter of pride we may go bask to Cardinal Beau- fort, who was of the first generation of the JarAly from royalty, be being the Among the proud Soniersets was he who in early life com m►nded a little army raised by his father for the service of Charles 1., and who in after years applied the condensation of steam to a practical purpose, though his invention was used only for raising water. This Edward Somerset was the last noble who held out in his caulk against Cromwell, and t h e stroeghold was Raglan Castle, which gave a title to our commander-in-chief.• Lord Fitzroy Somerset was a cornet in the 4th Light Dragoons at sixteen, and rue in military rank as the boyish sons of dukes will rise over the beads of their seniors. He was a captain at twenty, went with the troops to Portugal, and fought in the first great battle—that of Tel —in which the French and English armies fairly and singly tried their strength spinet each other. Before be was two-and.twenty Wellington had taken him for an side-de-eamp, and afterwards he became the military unstary of the g I. The duties of his various functions kept him diligently occupied during the whole of the Peninsular war, and, doubtless, trained him to th et habit of industry and the business aptitude which die- tinguished the rest of his life. After his appointment he was present at every one of the greet Peninsular battles—at Vimeira, Tal , and Busaco, the attack and cap ture of Oporto, pursuit of Marshal Soule, retreat to and occupation of the lines of Tones Vedres, the operations in pursuit of Marshal Mauena, the battle of Fuentes d'Onor, the first siege of Badejos, the siege and capture of Ciudad Rodrigo, the siege and capture of Badajcs, the battle of Salamanca, the capture of Medrid, and the Retire, driving the enemy from Valladolid to Burgos, the siege of that castle, the advance in 1813, the battles of Vittoria and the Pyrenees, the action of Irun, the pus's' of the Bidaseoa, the Nivelle and the Nice; in tee advance in 1814, the battles of Orthee and Toulouse, and every other engagement which took place during that campaign. In the interval of these important operations, he was the medium of all the Duke's commands and ge mints. Wellington, it is well known, had a high opinion of his military secretary, and used to say that, but for Lord Fitzroy Somerset the successes of hie seven years warfare would not have been obtained. If we regard this opinion in connexion with the kind of duty in which Wellington employed the talents of his protege we shall be able to arrive at a good point of view for judging of the young lord's merits. Lord Fitzroy Sou became a major in 1811 and • lieutenant colonel in 1812, returned to England after Bonaparte's abdication in 1814, and marrying in the August of that year the second daughter of Lord Mornington, became the nephew by mareispe of the Doke of Wellington. On Napoleon's return from Elba be again placed himself by the side of the Commander-in-Chief, and as his aide war on the field daring the three days that ended the war. In the terrible day of June 18 he lost his right arm at the farmstead of La Hays Sainte. He came to England, and was at once made full colonel, extra side•de camp of the Prince Regent, and Knight Commander of the Bath. He was secretary of embassy at Paris from 1816 to 1819; attended the Doke of Weilington to Vienna and Verona in 1822, and in 1826 proceeded with the duke to St. Petersburg, where he was sent to congratulate the late Emperor Nicholas on his accession to the throne. He was appointed in 1819 secretary to the (Duke of Wellington, Master-General of the Ordnance until 1827, and in August of that year he wu made military secre tary to the Commander-in-Chief, the functions of which office he performed until September 30, 1852. Rising at intervals in military rank, he bream. in 1838, a Lieutenant-General. When the Duke of Wellington died and Lord Bindings wu made Commander-in-Chief, Lord Fitzroy Somerset became Master General of the Ordeence, end was raised to the peerage by the title cf Baron Raglan. Nearly forty years after it was supposed by himself and the world that his wars were ended, and Diu* years after he had lad his eldest son at the battle of Feroseehab, he um called to take active service abroad. Lord Raglan held in fuller !Ileum's then any man living the traditions of the Great Duke. He had seen armies not only commanded but made. None knew better our belligerent resourcer, the actual state of our army, and the entire military system of the country. Accordingly he was selected for the command of the Queen's fortes sent to the Eut, which he assumed in March, 1854. It is unnecessary to pursue further a career which bas been the subject of daily public report and comment for mere than a twelvemonth. The intimation of Lord Raglan's demise reached his widow at noon on Saturday, by the band of the Hon. Robert Dundee, who was commissioned to perform the sad office by the First Lord of the Admiralty. Within a very short period his Royal Highness Prince Albert called, per sonally to convey her Majesty's condol in an autograph letter; and further to show that this expression of feeling was not merely etiquette, be again repeated his inquiries in the evening. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent sent to make inquiries as soon as the painful iatelligence reached her ; and their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary and the li.reditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenberg Straits were among the earliest to offer their condolences. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Glou cester and bis Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge also sent to make inquiries. The Queen's anxiety en Lady Raglan's behalf was further exhibited by two messages in the course of yesterday. Among the families placed iu mourning by the death of Lord Ragitn are those of the Duke and %idea of Welling ton, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, the Earl and Countess of Westmoreland, the Marquis and Marchioness of Cbolmoadeley, Sir Walter and Lady Mary Farquhar, Sir William and Lady Georgina Codrington, Lady Granville Somerset, the Lag; Louisa Finch, Lord and Lady Blanche Dupplin, and Lord and Lady Caltborpe. (Fran e Beexittl Midas of the Susday Tints.) r, Jusz 30. Intelligenoe reached here yesterday afternoon, by ele.tric telegraph, of the death of Lord Belgian. It cut • gloom over the town: Sincere regret was felt that he wee not permitted to see the fall of Sebutopol, now, it is hoped, so near at band. It was remembered that his name is associated with some of the most glorious achievements of the British army. His courage, patriotism, and amiable character were universally acknowledged.

We have received somber of letters from eye lithium es this subject. They are all from person of the " better" olswee, who writs merely as spectators, not having themeless been penonally infested. All the writers concur in thinking that but for the interference of the polies there would have bee. no disturbing, and that the coodaot of the polite was wawassaatebly Mash. The. possible conse quence, of these oelliskas as so rave that we have deemed it best to avoid premstaa soement. We, will closely watch the iagstigationa that must, of agessity, he made. The gathering in Hyde-park to-day commenced about two o'clock, and until four, people of all duns and conditions trooped in long sad eantinsons lines from all quart. cc of the park to the north bank of the Serpentine. The throng gradually Increased until it numbered at least 100,000 persons. It was of a salscellanTn3 character, but • large majority nasiste4 p/ raspaetabluaitebaake sad what aro painterly termed middle-class persons. Until three o'clock no noisy or decided demonstration was made ; the polies were reclining at their ease under the shade of large trees, and the people were quietly lounging their time away. Presently a stir and a rush attracted attention, and off scampered every one in the direction whence it proceeded. The cense of this movement was non apparent : a boy had caught &large eel,which was tossed about amidst uproarious ddight, until an intrepid policeman stopped the fun and carried it off in triumph. This incident, however, had the effect of rousing everybody into activity. The policemen were drawn up is formidable array, and orders were given to kelp the carrisge.road clear. These orders were occasionally very roughly carried out, and the want of forbearance at times displayed by the polies did more to excite the indignation of the populace than the sight of dishing equipage., and their lolling imamate. Re spectably cheesed females, and me. seemingly peaceably inclined, were very roughly handled. Few carriages ap peared on the drive; not twenty pained along it throughout the entire afternoon. Some gigs and phaetons went along unheeded, the people evincing peculiar discrimination in the selection of individuals on whom to vent their disap probation. Later in the afternoon, mayoral skirmishes between the polity and the people occurred, and at time a g aaaaa 'riot seemed inevitable. The good sense of the mob, however, prevented any very serious consequences. S I persons were apprehended for otstructing the police in the " exe cution of their duty," end were conveyed to the station house in cabs. Upwards of a dczen of those vehicles, their luckless inmates closely guarded, quitted the park, amidst yells and bootlegs. The persons thus apprehended were some evi dently respectable, sod some, perhaps, the reverse. The police, however, showed no mercy or discrimination; people weie token into custody for yelling, biasing, or more boiste rous prow( dings. Some of those taken were is a miserable plight ; come had their clothes torn completely off their backs, whilst others presented a most dilapidated appearance. An old man, named George Russell, was knocked (limn by a violent blow from a truncheon ; the blood streamed down his (ace. Mr. Superintendent Williams droned the wound, and sent the poor fellow home. One man was pursued for throwing stones at the police, and made a desperate attempt to escape. lie jumped into the Serpentine, and struck out boldly for the opposite shore. He bad scarcely reached the centre, however, before he exhibited symptoms of exhaustion, and he wee picked up by Superintendent Parsons, who put off in one of the Humane Society's boat. for that purpose. He was conveyed to t►e .tation•bouse. The dainsge done to the park railings was considerable. The hurdles placed along the path from the Achilles statue to the bridge were nearly all destroyed. In the motley tbroog we noticed several members of the aristocracy, quiet spectators of the busy and significant Boone. Altogether, the demonstration was of a must ... . peaceful, but withal, powerful, character. Superintendents Globe, Walker, and Rushee bad the chief command of the polies. By sin o'clock the immense crowd gradually began to disperse. When, however, we left the park, the right bank of the Serpentine was still very numerously thronged. (smolt ♦ COIUMPONDENT.) About sii o'clock last evening an oecurreace took place which at first seemed to threaten serious consequences. A party of soldiers, about a dem it number, consisting of Guards 1114 the 6Gth, some of them with their wiers, and two or three decorated with the Crimean medal, were standing beneath a clump of trees near the Receiving. house, when an indiscriminate attack was made by a body of police on a crowd of respectably-dressed men and women, and many were knocked down by the police bludgeons. Same of the crowd is their retreat got mixed up with the party of soldiers. one of whom, wearing the medal, com pared the conduct of the police to that of the Russians at lukennaen. This observation having been overheard by the police, one of Rum immediately seized the Crimean hero, with the intention of dragging him off. This attempt his comrades resisted, and after • seoSe the police thought it prudent to relinquish the attempt. While these pro ceedings were going 00, an immense crowd had assem bled, amongst whom were several soldiers, a great ipany of whom were sauntering about the park. Three Risen were at once given by the people for the Grenadian, with loud groans for the police. The soldiers then moved away, but were followed by • large concourse of people, loudly cheering them. A large number of the soldiers got mixed up with the crowd, who paraded the perk amidst loud cheers, and cries of " Down with the Sunday Bill." The police in the mean time had sent a connonoicatios to the guard-house at the Magszine, and ultimately a sergeant of the guard arrived, and after remonstrating with the police for their behaviour, persuaded some of the soldiers to accompany lint to the barracks to prevent mischief, which seemed imminent from the excited state of both soldiers and people. Many of the soldiers who remained scattered about the park, seemed highly exasperated with the police, and expressed their opinions in no measured terms. The danger of • collision was the more imminent, as the majority of the soldiers were youcg recruits, just taken from the ranks of the people, not yet broken in by discipline, and whose sympathies were entirely with the clue trey had just left. MONSTER MEETING AT Gl A variety of proclamations have been for some days sir omitted in the neighbourhood of Greenwich, convening a great meeting at the Observatory, in the Park, st three o'clock. At the appointed hoar about ten thousand porno's' assembled, and ineffectual attempts to address the meeting were made by several individual"; their exertions, how ever, were restrained by the interference of the police.

Lord Emelt Brute, Yips-Cbsatbsrlain of ha' Majesty's Household, in the chair. Thi Choir Benevolent Feud was established in 1851. Its design is to secure to the widows and orphans of its member*, consistiog of organism and lay members of cathedral and collegiate choirs, a certain sum at desth, and also to provide far the members and their families such other assistance in time of need or affliction as the circum stances of the society may permit. The fund is made up of the annual contributions of the members ; donations from benevolent individuals who feel an interest in choral worship sad the perpetuation of the works of the great English aerie siestical composers ; and the proceeds of choral perform ances on a grand code given from tiros to time by the society. The Choral Festivals, in particular, held at the Uni versities of Oxford and Cambridge, were attended by vast sablubligis and meditative of has Widest-Ith Oh fund. From the last annual report of the committee, and from the statements made on Saturday by the noble chair man and by George Gray, Esq., the honorary secretary, it appears that the society is in a most prosperous, condition, the income of the lut year having nearly doubkd that of the year preceding, with a constantly increasing accession of members. At the head of the list of donors we Rod the Queen and Prince Albert ; and it includes many liberal contributions from the nobility, clergy, distinguished ama teurs of music, and members of the profession. The pub lishedaccounts p a gratifying feature—the very eco nomical management of the funds, shown by the trifling amount of the expenditure competed with the receipts. The meeting on Saturday was in every respect a most agreeable one, and the pleasure of the evening was enhanced by a fine selection of glees and madrigals, beautifully sung, under the direction of hit. Goss, by • choir of 24 voices, from her Majesty's Chapel Royal, St. Paul's Cathedral, and West zainstar.Abbey. BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL.-WO are now enabled to give an outline of the arrangements for this great Music-Meeting, to be held on the 28th, 29tb, 30th, and 31st of August. The principal vocalists are : Madame GUM', Mdlle. Bosio, Madame Rudersdorff, Madame Castel lay, Miss D.lby, and Madame Viardot Garcia; Mario, Gardoni, . Reichardt, Sims Reeves, Lzblache, Weiss, and Formes. Mr. Costa is the conductor, and Mr. Stimpeon the .organist. Tne band, 145 strong, includes the most et:niacin metropolitan performers on every instrument. The chorus, amounting to 320 voices, is chiefly drawn trom the metropolis, together with the elite of the Birmingham Choral Society. The morning performances are to be : on Tuesday, Mendelssohn's Elijah; on Wednesday, Eli, an oratorio crmposed expressly for this festival by Costa ; on Thursday, the Messiah; and on Friday, the Mount of Olives of Beethoven, the Requiem of Mozart, and a Selection from the Israel in Egijit of Bendel. The miscellaneous concerts on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings will comprise many secular pieces of great interest, particaluly Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony; Mendels sohn's Symphony in A minor; Macfarren's Cantata, Lenora; the finale to his Royal Highness Prince Albert's Cantata, L' Invocaelone all' rotorsia ; Mendelssohn's finale to his unflaished opera, Lorky; and selections from Guillaume Tell, the Hurl entire, theProp/tete, the Etoile du Nord, aid other opera,. These arrangements are on a scale of magnitude equal to that of any previous festival. One of the greatest and most useful charitable iostitutions in England, the Birmingham General Hospital, derives its chief support from these triennial meetings. From the festival of 1862 the hospital received the great mum of 4,7001. ; and we trust that the festival of 1856 well have an equally beneficial result. DRAMA. SADLER'S WELLS. AMATEUR PERPORMARCE.—On Eaturclay evening the Printers' Dramatic 8 ciety gave a performance at this theatre—the pieces being the School for Sandal and the Bent Day. The performances of this society have been noticed previously in our columns in terms of commenda tion, and those of Saturday evening added still further to its histrionic lame. The SchoulAr Scandal was reprtsented with a completeness in all its parts rarely witnessed in amateur performances, and the efforts of the ladies and gen tlemen engaged were warmly and deservedly applauded by the audience—not, as is usually the cue with these per- formances, consisting of the Mends of the persons on'tbe stage, but by a mixed audience—a large proportion of the company assembled having paid for admission as on the usual nights of the theatre being open. Playing to an audience of this description is a bold attempt on the part of amateurs, but in this instance was crowned with stems. The characters of Sir Oliver Surface, Joseph Surface, and Mese', were especially deserving of notice. The performance of Miss Murre.l, as Lady leimle, was greatly applauded. This lady's figure, voice, and general personal appearance well fit her for genteel comedy. Her representation of the character was marked by intelligence and discrimination. The celebrated screen scene was capitally given. Miss Halmos's Mrs. Candour was also a good performance. The evening's entertainment went off without any of the hitches considered inevitable to an amateur performance, and reflects much credit on the members of the Printers' Dramatic Society. MR. MONTI'S LECTURES UPON ANCIENT AND MODERN SCULPTURE. Mr. Monti delivered his fifth lecture on Wednesday last, in the opening of which he alluded to the decay of ancient art in the time of Constantine, and then pared to the coneideration of Christian art. The rise and progress of the new style, and the vicissitudes which it encountered, afforded ample matter for observation and reflection to tke lecturer who, remarked that Christian art was the creation of a people endowed with new thoughts and new aspirations; that the aim of ancient art was to pourtray external life—the sympathy of the heart end mind with nature; that of Christian art, as the term implied, being to represent the life of the soul, the blending of an earthly with a spiritual eeistence—the hope of a future life. The lecturer observed that if the early efforts of the naw style were to be preferred to those of the Falai& tribes in Greece. it was to be attributed to the holy, lofty c►aracter of the sentiment embodied he the works aliAlssfare amber Ars is Nig 'author, of teed:i nk:al superiority. Mr. Monti illustrated this portion of his lecture by means of numerous firmly drawn outline-representations of fiat-reliefs of early Christian art, of • highly interesting and impressive nature, com menting particularly upon that of the Pastor Bonus," a favourite subject at the period alluded to, and frequently found sculptured on tombs. In this composition the Saviour is typified by a figure of • shepherd surrounded by sheep, and folding in his arms • lamb that had gone astray. So great, the lecturer remarked, was the icfiuence of the Seonvelasts, in inculcating a dislike to statues, by engender ing belief in their idolatrous tendency, that sculpture, at its revival,was long confined to fiat rebels, which, with the aid of painting and mosaics, gave facility for treating the human. form without encountering the prejudices of the age, opposed to the actual realisation of the human form itself. Mr. Monti remarked that, although the Germans cannot be said to have originated Christian art, they did succeed in impressing upon it a marked character. Themselves an impressible people, but at the time of their migration southward unconscious of art, and, consequently, unfettered by prejudices or preconceived notions concerning the subject, they were the better able to treat art at its revival in a free, energetic, and vigorous manner. The Normans in Sicily, who had been the first to benefit by the teaching of Greek artists from Byzantium, were also among the first to receive loathe from German practitioners, whose lessons, however, they to a certain degree improved upon by introducing smelt hat of a more genial character both in the composition and execution of their works: and this improvement also took place in Italy. The numerous tribes that overran the Italian soil, overturning the Boman empire, bore an exact relationship to these Nirvana who, swarming in Greece, had constituted the intelligent, artistic, population of that country. The names of those tribes— words of terror in Roman ears—were recognised,on the other band, as those of buthiere of cities and founders of kingdoms, and Italy became to the modern, what Greece had been to the ancient world, the cradle and nursery of the arts. Whole families inspired with genius for art now arose in Italy, &menet whom the family of the Pisani, staunch fol lowers of the German style, was greatly distinguished. The cathedral of Orvieto was adorned thy Nicolo Primo. who was considered the founder of the "Cinque Cure." Whilst this was going on in Central Italy great efforts iu art were being made in alone every other path of that favoured region. Many Italian names steed conspicuous in the &anal, of sculpture during the 14th century, those of Luca della Robba and Druatello in particular, the latter an ardent follower of the early Tuscan school. The lecturer ' concluded his remarks by alluding to Michel Angelo only by name, intecding to expatiate upon the works of the great Florentine on Wedneadsy evening next. While listening to this lecture upon early Christian art, and contemplating the various drawings of examples brought forward in illustration of the subject, it was impossible not to be struck with the limited and erroneous character of the principle that admits no architecture but the Gothic or "pointed," nor any kind of painting or sculpture but such as adapts itself to that style, as art exponents of Christian sentiment. Reflection upon this matter might convince a ny reasonable person that such a view of art must be at variance with the free and universal character of the Christian faith ; but when the earliest and purest records of Christian art prove the shallowness of the belief in the peculiarly sacred chlracter of pointed art—those records having no affinity whatever with Gothic or ! ointed architecture—to adhere to the belief in question is not only to give proof of unreason ableness and obstinacy, but of absolute bigotry. THE POLY TECHNIC INSTITUTION. There is now added to the many varied entertain• mints given at 319, Regent-street, a very interesting Arctic collection, being contributidos from officers serviog in the various squadrons despatched in search of Sir T. Franklin, and lent for a short time to the institution by J. Barrow, Esq., of the Admiralty. A private view of this collection, and also a lecture by Dr. Scoresby, was given on Saturday to a numerous company, among whom were ob served Captain Hachure, Captain Collipton, Captain Ingle ' fi eld, Sir J. Rost, Captain Beecbey , Dr. Rae, Captain Bar row, Captain Hull, &c. Dr. Scoresby, at the com mencement of his lecture, observed, that having ' himself been a whale fisher in the far north, and having often bivouacked with his men at places 60 or 70 degrees below freezing point, he knew perhaps aa well as anybody what were the dangers and difficulties encoun tered by Artie explorers. It had often been urged, be con tinued, that by undertaking these voyages we risked valuable lives in ureic* researches. He differed from that opinion. Au Arctic expedition was peculiarly a British adventure, and for all great Arctic discoveries the world was indebted to those brave adventurers this country had produced. At the head of them stood the enterprising Baffin, but the greatest discovery was due to Captain Machu*, who had excelled nearly all others by the actual discovery of the North West Passage; and he did not doubt, when peace was spin restored, but that some one equally daring would also be found to plant the British flsg at the North Pole. Flavin paid a tribute of respect to the memory of thp brave Bellot, Dr. Scoresby reverted to the expedition of 1845, and concluded by ex pressing his opinion that, notwithstanding the proofs brought home by Dr. Rai, there was no positive evidence of Franklin's party having perished, and that it was quite pallid' for some of the poor fellows to be still alive. At the close of the lecture, a vote of thanks was accorded to Dr. Scoreaby, after which Mr. Pepper showed his experiments illustrating the transmission of vocal and musical sounds through solid conductors. NEW ACT FOR THE EDUCATION OP POOR CHILDREN. —The new act, which received the royal anent on Tuesday, hu.been printed, to provide for the education of children in the receipt of out-door relief. It is declared to be expedient that means should be taken to provide education for the young children of poor persons who are relieved out of the workhouse. It is enacted that poor law guardians may grant relief to enable poor persons lawfully relieved out of the workhouse to provide education for any child of such person, between the ages of 4 and 16, in any sehcol to be approved of by the guardians, for such time and under such conditions as the guardians shall see fit. Tte Poor-law Board may issue orders to regulate the proceedings of guardians. "It shall not be lawful for the guardians to impose as a condition of relief that such education shall be given to any child of the person requiring relief." The eat of relief is to be charged in the same account as the other relief. Further the act provides that orphan and deserted children may be educated in the manner prescribed. The set ha immediate operation.

The annual distribution of prizes to the students of the London University College took place on Saturday afternoon, in the presence of a large company of ladies and gentlemen, amongst whom were several members of the council, and other influential supporters of the institution. Lord hiCNIZAGLE presided. The report of the council was first read by Professor Ds Mostoar, giving a very satisfactory account of the pro gress of the college, and of its enlarged opportunities of usefulness; reference was particularly made to the new official regulations, by which the civil service of India has been thrown open to all qualified candidates; and it was stated that the council have taken measures to provide in creased means of instruction in the Oriental languages, with a view to enabling the students of this college to pre pare themselves fa the Indian service. The 1 professors then read in succession their lists of the meritorious scholars to whom prises or certificates of diligence had been awarded, and the young men were called upon to receive, one by one, the books or documents which represented their distinction ; the chairmen, in most cues, dtidresaisg to them a few words of appropriate encourage ment and counsel. Several of the professors acknowledged with pleasure the industry end attention eshibited by the students under their charge during the term which has just expired; and the Principal observed that he had not found it necessary in a single instance to apply the corrective bye-laws, ad in two or three cases only had he been obliged to use a little private remonstrance with individual students. The formal disuibution of rewards having been con cluded, Alford . klowneohe congratulated these who were con >ie min n University College upon its flourishing condition, irk nj„and upon its hopeful prospects ; expressing . the plea ? e which he had himself received in being permitted again icCaike a part in such an interesting pro- ceediog as this was. He named several of the founders and supporters of the college, men who bad not only rendered, in their own day, most efficient aid to the cause of education, but had distinguished themselves greatly in literature and science, or in the service of their country. Amongst the friends of University College had been persons of sighed rank, such as the lets Duke of Sussex, statesmen like Lord John Russell and Lord Broug ham, the historians Orote and Macaulay, and other eminent men of the present age. He reverted to the early history of the London University, which arose in connection with this college, and which he (Lord Montesgle) had the honour to mist in forming. The privileges of this univer sity were not confined to the University College or to King's College, but extended to many other institutions, and its influence had already produced a most beneficial and im portant effect upon the educational interests of England, and even upon those of India and the Colonies. He ob d with gratification, in connection with the recent opening of the Indian civil service, the fact that a young Brahmin, who was seat to this country for his education, had become remarkable by the learning which he acquired here, and that he (Dr. Chuckerbutty) was a student of this col lege. lie trusted that the Improved official system of India would not be a merely delusive reform, but a real one, ad vantageous 'wily to the vast population of that empire and to those employed in its administration; with which view he suggested that the wealth and liberality of those who feel any interest in this matter could scarcely be more usefully bestowed than in the erection of some place in London where young Hindoo students may be received upon arrival here, and may reside beneath the guarlianship of Asiatics in whom their countrymen would confide. If such facilities were afforded to the native youth of sharing an European education, they might be put in a situation to avail themselves of the chances of admission to the civil service of the Indian government. His lordship also referred to the principle upon which University College was originally founded, of making public education free front ever y restriction of religious sectarianism or ex clusiveness. He reminded his audience of the mit understandings and obloquy which formerly emba rgoed those who ventured to assert that true principle, and remarked with all the more satisfaction its triumphant vindication now, for in the sessions et 1854 and 1155 that great principle bad been twice affirmed by both houses of parliament, and dissenters had thus become en:itied to par ticipate in the advantages of both the older universities, Oxford and Cambridge, and to receive there all the rewards of proficiency in study ; and if there were any magic value In the letters B.A. and A.M., those degrees might belong to dissenters as well as to any others.
