Much depended upon war; much upon the skill with which our iron walls were drawn around us, and much upon the great artillery with which they would be made to bristle, but he had every confidence in the resisting power of an armed .nation—of a nation capable of sending forth a large body of men armed with rifles or armed with mus kets, as occasion might require, and which, as the last six weeks had shown, could be brought into an excellent state of discipline, which military men would admit and even admire. These were the ab solute and , sure defences of this country; for they not only rendered an invasion difficult to be at tempted, but impossible of success even should the attempt be uiade. Having made these observations which had naturally occurred to him on the occasion of his noble and gallant friend's presence among them, he had now to apologise for having,• as he thought, almost forgotten the duty he had risen to perform, which was to thank them most heartily for the kind reception they had bestowed upon the mention of his name. The occasion was altogether one for the most sincere congratulation, for it was 'the . anniversary of three remarkable events, every one of which had been productive of good results. The first was the battle of the Nile ; the second the accession of the House of Brunswick, to which we are indebted for the blessings of civil liberty ; and the third the emancipation of the slaves of the West Indian Islands, begun in 1833, and finally com pleted in 1838. Heartily congratulating them, therefore, on the happy auspices under which they had met, he begged once more to thank them for the kind feeling with which 'they had drank the toast just proposed to them. (Cheers) [During the delivery of several portions of the noble and learned lord's speech Lord Clyde was evidently much moved, and appeared to feel deeply the warm terms of encomium in which he referred to his distinguished services.] The next toast was" The Houses of Parliament," for which respectively Lord Cranworth and Mr. T. Hankey returned thanks: - _ Lord BROUGHAM then gave the "Health of the Prime Warden,"-recalling in fervent terms his long acquaintance with, and recollections of, the Wood family. His lordship had, he said, almost during his whole public life known the late Sir Matthew Wood; he was most intimate with Sir Page Wood, and he was also proud to acknowledge amongst his most intimate friends the Prime Warden of the Fishmongers' Company. The PRIME WARDEN briefly returned thanks ; and the remaining toasts having been disposed of, the company separated. In the course of the evening the winners of Dog gett's coat and badge, which had been rowed for during the day, were called to the head of the table, and handed the prizes by the Prime Warden, with the usual formalities. The dinner was furnished, as usual, by Messrs. Ring and Brymer, and Mr. Harker was the toast master. • FRANCE AND ENGLAND. The Emperor of the French appeared before us yesterday in a new and by no means ungraceful character. We know him well as an accomplished orator, as the writer of soul-stirring proclamations, and as the inspirer of pamphlets announcing changes at which monarchs tremble on their thrones. Bat he comes before us now in another character— as afrank and fa miliar correspondent. The Emperor has written a letter to the British nation, through the transparent medium of his Ambassador, very much as one private gentleman might confide his sentiments and opinions to another. It this be dip lomacy, it is diplomacy stripped of all its pomps and trappings, without its cane and its snuffbox, its star, its diamond-hilted sword, and its cocked hat—diplomacy in its plainest garb and in its least reserved humour. Mankind have hitherto been dis- posed to consider that great affairs must have a language of their own. In our old plays the Kings and nobles talk blank verse, while the servants, sol- diers, pages, and executioners are content with home-spun prose. The Emperor of the French has shown us that he can give an account of the re sources of a great nation and unfold the springs of a deep and hidden policy in precisely the same terms, and with as much ease and simplicity as if ho were writing of the management of a private estate, or giving an account of his intentions with regard to the abandonment of a troublesome law suit. The Emperor of the French has lived long among the people of this country, and has profited by his experience. He evidently understands that the shortest way to our hearts is by openness and plain dealing, and that he is, more likely to obtain the object he seeks by a studied artlessness and careful simplicity than were he to bestow upon us all those figures of rhetoric over which the great founder of his family possessed almost as entire a control as over the movements of his troops on a day of battle. We-have, indeed, every right to be flattered, for the great Emperor of the French, the arbiter of the destinies of Europe, has taken the poorest and meanest among us into a confidence which he is far indeed from extending to the great majority of his subjects. When we arc assured that nothing is kept back, that the Emperor has told us all he thinks, without dis guising or admitting anything, we have not the slightest right to dispute the truth of the asser tion. It would be difficult to suggest any topic with regard to the foreign policy of .France inte resting to the people of this country on which there is not the fullest and most reassuring explanation. The letter, tco, is interlarded with admissions such as wen make in the confidence of intimate friend ship, but do not usually offer to the eye of an in different, perhaps of an unfriendly,-reader. Thus, we are told in the first sentence that affairs are complicated, thanks to the mistrust excited every where since the war in Italy. There is nothing here about the machinations of ancient parties, about delusions, prejudices, and rivalries ; the effect is attributed at once to the true cause, and the case admitted with a frankness which leaves nothing to be desired. The Empercr wishes to live on the best terms with all his neighbours; he had re nounced Savoy and Nice, and was only prevailed upon to think of them by the extraordinary terri torial acquisitions of Piedmont. His army is not too large for his requirements when the deductions for foreign service are made. His navy is not on a scale commensurate with that established under Louis Philippe. His regiments are on a smaller effective standing than those of former times. If other people have seen the bright side of the late war, the Emperor, who was on the spot, has seen the defects, and is only anxious to remedy them. In the East he wishes only for the status quo, and that Turkey should live as long as possible. He was transported with indignation at the Syrian outrage; but he remembers what Algeria has cost, and desires no acquisition there. His conquests must be made at home. He is willing to act with England in Southern Italy, as to which he is bound by no treaty obligations. He desires to quit Rome when he can do so without compromising the safety of the Pope. He seeks no new acquisitions abroad, and wishes the frankest interchange of opinion between himself and the eminent men who are at the head of affairs in England. We believe that the people of this country are disposed to receive this letter in the spirit in which it has been written:--in a spirit of fair and honour able consideration. So far from looking on its author with hostility, they will not willingly look upon his advances in a spirit of suspicion ; they are only too willing to believe that the ipighty rower that they find in such close proximity to themselves cherishes no other feelings towards them than those which befit a good friend and neighbour. A grea part of the professions of this letter,—those parti cularly which refer to Southern Italy, to Turkey, and to Syria,—admit of being brought an yimme diate practical test, and we rejoiee.ssmeerely to find' that the Emperor of the French i so reasonable onable and so moderate with regard to Syria, and so fair and liberal with respect to Naples. We receive the assurance with the utmost satisfaction, and hope sincerely that our foreign policy will be conducted so as to fill up the outline which this masterly hand has traced. But it is quite right that we should meet the frankness of the Emperor of the French with corresponding frankness. Without the least calling in question the sincerity of the Emperor of the French, and while admitting in the fullest man ner that his letter forms a valuable programme, the ~~~ NEWSPAPER outlines of which' it should b • - I• P' olio to fill up, we ca for a a in, tin-Ha \ sM - i• any of the purely defensive pr n • Y 4r4 set on foot. Nay, we will go f er broadly that the cause and object of tth e pit an S tions is the Emperor of the French himself. It would be unworthy of us, whom he has treated with so much openness, to palter or equivocate with the subject. It is the policy of the Emperor of the French, for reasons which he believes to be quite sufficient, at a time when all Europe is only anxious to preserve peace with him and his in vincible legions, to maintain an army amounting to four hundred 'thousand men, and, with few colo ' nics or outlying dominions to protect; a navy, to say the least, of the most formidable dimensions. Our navy is our kinly.guarantee for the existence of our vast trade and the retention of our Colo nial and Indian Empire. Our Navy depends on our dockyards, our dockyards depend on the force which: e can spare for their defence, and on the fortifications which we can erect around them. Twenty-four hours' loss of the command of the Channel is invasion. Twenty-four days' loss of the command of the sea is ruin to our credit, our com merce, and our manufactures. The machine is so complicated that it will net bear the slightest or most "temporary derangement. It may well be that the necesssities of the position which the Emperor . of the French occupies —a position of which he is assuredly the best judge —may render it necessary for him to maintain an army apparently dispropor tioneci either to the foreign or domestic wants of his empire, and a navy on the protection of which the transoceanic dominions of France have little claim. We do not dispute the policy or necessity of their existence, but we assert that their exist ence imposes on us diities which we must not fail to perform. We cannot afford to 4 exist on suffer ance ; if we are to continue a great Power, it must be by our strength, 'and not by the permission of any one else.: England is a country which aspires not merely to exist, bat to hold a high place in the councils of the world, and to urge on the cause of liberality and progress with an influence second to none.. if she desires to retain that influence, she - must be independent, and independent she will never be if .she owes her power; or her safety to the forbearance of an ally, however well disposed towards her. The first condition of friendship be tween England and France is equality. We freely confess that we should be most happy to see France reducing the amount of her forces; by land and by sea, because that would render a similar reduction on our part possible ' but it ought to be clearly un derstood that it is by the arrnattiants 'and not by the professions or even the intentions of France, that we must measure our military and naval strength. Let France disarm, and!the effect would immediately be felt in the pacific tendencies of every capital in Europe; but so long as she con tinues her present state of preparation she imposes on her neighbours the absolute necessity of main taining a corresponding force; and we trust th a t we give no offence to any one by expressing our re solution to maintain it.—Times. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1860. TLIE MASSACRE oF TUB INNOCENTS. (From .Punch.) FYTTE FIRST—FEBRUARY. It was a score of blithesome Bißs Merrily came they in— And fair without looked the gamesome rout, And neat as a new-made pin ; Each would-be law, without a flaw Or erasure-line within.

GRAND BANQU,E2' AT 7161131ONGE.RS' HALL TO LORD CIF DE. --t- - Yesterday evening the Prime Warden and Wor shipful Company of Fishmongers celebrated the re tArn of Lord Clyde to England by a magnificent banquet in their noble hall at London-bridge. Covers were laid for 120, and the dinner comprised the rarest delicacies of the season and those famous wines for which the cellars of the worshipful com pany are celebrated. The guest of the evening, Lord Clyde, was one of the earliest arrivals, and was at once enrolled an honorary member of the company. His lordship, who was attired in plain evening dress with the ribbon of the Bath, appeared to be full of vigour and in the best health and spirits. The following is the list of the company : ,Lord Brougham, Lord Cranworth, General Lord Clyde, Viscount Enfield, M.P., Sir C. Wood, Bart., M P., Vice-Chancellor - Sir W. P. Wood, Lord Jus tice Knight Bruce, the Attorney-General, the Soli citor-General, Major-Oen. Sir R. Dacres, K.C.8., Vice-Admiral Sir G. Sartorius, Col. Sir A. Sterling and Major Alison (aides-de-camp to Lord Clyde), Major Franklin, Major Finch, Sir A. Horsford, Sir F. Currie, Bart., Sir H. C. Montgomery, Bart., W. U. Arbuthnot, Esq., Sir F. Heygate, Bart., M.P., Mr. Alderman Salomons, M.P., Mr. Alderman Cubitt, M.P., T. Hankey, Esq., M.P., G. Glyn, Esq., M.P., R. P. Da.wscrn, Esq., M.P., E. Ball,, Esq., M.P., R. Ihnbury, jun., Esq., M.P., T. A: Mitchell, Esq., M.P., G. Clive, Esq., M.P., the Go vernor of the Bank, the Chairman and Deputy- Chairman of the East and West India Deck Com pany, the Governor of the Irish Society, the Master of the Drapers' Company, the Prime Warden of the Goldsmiths' Company, the President of the College of Physicians, Capt. Dalby, Dr. King, Dr. Billings, Rev. W. Molyneux, Rev. R. B. Aspland, J. Hib bert, Esq., J. Grant, Esq., M. H. Bodkin, Esq.., As sistant Judge, H. B. Poland, Esq., C. Pressley, Esq. (Stamp-office), Lewis Cubitt, Esq., W. H. Pollock, Esq. The Prime Warden, Mr. Western Wood, pre sided. The cloth having been removed, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of her most gracious Majesty the Queen," whom he extolled as a pattern to her sex, and entitled to the warmest admiration of her subjects. Thetoast having been enthusiastically drunk, The CHAIRMAN gave " The health of his Royal Highness Prince AIWA ; Albert, Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal family." With regard to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, he had long since established himself in the good opinion of his adopted country by his judiciously abstaining from mixing himself up with any political party, and devoting his leisure and his opportunities to the promotion of the arts and sciences. The Prince of Wales had recently conferred a peculiar gratiflea tisn on the Country by his visit to Canada—a step which had been dictated by that wisdom which characterised every act of her Majesty, and which would one day—he trusted a distant one—qualify him for the arduous duties of government. He had every confidence also that this visit would tend still more to consolidate the good relations which hap pily prevailed between this country and America, and in that view he asked them to drink the toast he had proposed. (Cheers.) The toast was drank with loud applause, after which The PRIME WARDEN was sure he would have no occasion to ask at the hands of the company a cor dial welcome to the toast which he was now about to propose, because the mere mention of that toast and the name of the individual with whom it would be associated, would ensure for it a most unanimous and enthusiastic reception. He had to give the "Army and Navy," of whom the country was most justly proud. (Hear.) However long a peace Eng land had enjoyed, events, comparatively recent, had shown that both those services were not deficient in able commanders, nor in brave and unconquir able men. (Cheers.) They were now honoured with the presence of Lord Clyde. (Enthusiastic cheer ing.) His unflinching bravery, which never made him careful for himself, was yet tempered by a prudent caution for his soldiers. (Conti nued cheers.) His unflinching endurance under trials and difficulties and his glorious and success ful triumphs had become matters of history, and would hereafter fill one of the brightest pages of British military annals. (Cheers.) It was impos sible for him to describe all that Lord Clyde had effected, but his services, he thought, might be sum med up briefly by claiming him as the pacificator of India. (Renewed cheers.) But as it would pro bably be distasteful to his lordship to dwell further upon that subject, he would just say a word with respect to the sister service—the navy. Though of late years the navy had not had the same oppor tunity as the army for displaying its bravery, yet the country had entire confidence in the wooden walls of Old England ; and, while it did not grudge the expense of properly fortifying these islands, it still trusted for protection to those wooden walls and to the gallant men who defended them. (Cheers.) The Prime Warden then gave the toast, accompanying it with the names of Lord Clyde and Admiral Sir G. R. Sarteeius. The toast was drunk with great applause. Lord CLYDE, who appeared to be deeply moved by the enthusiasm with which his health had been received, said—Mr. Prime Warden, my Lords, and Gentlemen, I rise to return to you and to the mem- , bers of the Fishmongers' Company my sincere thanks for the great honour you have done me in proposing my health, and for the kind manner in which the toast has been received. Being totally unaccustomed to the making of speeches, I trust you will pardon me for any omission or any defi ciency that may occur on my part. It appears to me, and I feel it to be of great value, that entertain ments like the present form an important part of the reward which public servants receive from their fellow-count r y men when they return f rom I their services abroad. They are proud of such dis tinctions, and no one more proud of them than my self. (Loud cheers.) I have received many honours, conferred in the most gracious manner by her Majesty, honours which were far beyond my merits, and far beyond anything which I ever dreamt of receiving. The kind reception I have met with to day from my countrymen in this hall—men holding a high position in the metropolis—convinces me they do not think me altogether un worthy of the honours which her Majesty has bestowed. (Cheers.) You speak of soldier, Mr. Prime Warden. I have been 50 years a soldier, and I can tell you that the men of England, Ireland, and Scotland have not deteriorated; I say it boldly, that they are as obe dient soldiers, when properly officered, as ever served in the British army. (Loud cheers.) The Prime Warden has been pleased to pay me some handsome compliments respecting the late war in India, but I must say that to one man above all does England owe a great debt of gratitude, and that man is the present Governor-General. (Hear.) Lord Canning throughout the whole trying period of the war was brave, cool, and self-possessed, ex hibiting all the qualities of a great administrator. I had the honour of mairtaining intimate relations with his lordship during the whole of the three years I remained in India, and I believe that it was the support which his fir mness o f character gave me that enabled me to fulfil the expectations which m y countrymen had entertained of my mission. Therefore, whilst receiving with gratitude the com which is now paid me , I t hi n k it on ly pliment right that Englishmen should know the merits of an d I may s a y g if ted, man, whose pru the great, dence and calmness in difficulty, whose never-dis turbed self-possession, exercised so powerful an in fluence on the suppr e ssion of the mutiny. (Loud cheers.) The noble and gallant lord, in conclusion, again thanked the company for the toast. Admiral SARTORIUS, in responding on the part of the navy, said we had the means of preventing the possibility of invasion by any nation, however powerful, or by any combination of witions. Not only had we the rifle volunteer movements but the improvements in artillery and musketry had entirely changed the whole system of defence, and increased the advantage of the defence over the attack a hun dredfold. When he considered that we posseosed such means for our protection, he said as a seaman, that it was impossible for any successful invasion of our shores to take place by ships. (Cheers.) And in addition to all these resources there was the mer cantile steam marine, which, although a very powerful arm, we were too apt to overlook. Ifs, for one, was not disposed to distrust the profes sions of the Emperor of the French. He honestly believed that the Emperor wished to be on good terms with us, but if the angel Gabriel were on the throne of France, he would say trust to the same courage and decision which in former times had secured the safety of the country. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said that the exigencies of the State had prevented their having the pleasure of the company of Lord Palmerston, Lord J. Russell, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and other of her Majesty's Ministers. What had caused their sud den call to Osborne, it was not for him to say. Whether it had any reference to that very friendly letter from the Emperor of the French, which they had all seen that day, he knew not;_ but if it were a genuine letter, he thought it ought tote a subject of great rejoicing to all. (Cheers.) No doubt her Majesty's Ministers had had a very onerous session to go through, but if they had unhappily not ac complished all they could have wished, they had properly done as much as they could. (Hear.) They had certainly experienced some obstruction. (Laughter.) It was not for him to say whether it arose from a sense of duty or disappointed ambi tion, but it had interrupted the progress of ha portant public measures in a manner unusual until the present day. While giving them every credit, as he was sure the country would, for a desire to do all which was required, he was sure they would cordially agree in wishing them better success next year. (Cheers.) The worthy chairman concluded by proposing " Her Majesty's Ministers," coupling with the toast the name of Sir C. Wood. (Cheers.) Sir C. WOOD offered his acknowledgments for the kind regrets which the Prime Warden had ex presscel for the absence of her Majesty's Ministers ; but no one regretted that absence more than did he (Sir C. Wood), because the result was to devolve upon him, who was so ill qualified, the task of responding to the toast. The Prime Warden had said that Ministers had been unexpectedly sum moned to Osborne. That was true ; but as it was not expected that he (Sir C. Wood) should divulge state secrets, he should only say that that summons had deprived his colleagues of a very great pleasure. Allusion had been made to the state of business dur ing the present session, and he admitted that ho had been present at dinners like the present, when ministers were able to enumerate a much longer catalogue of successful measures than they could show during the present year. He was sorry that so little had been done, but he was not one of those who thought thst doing much was always doing well: He thougEt the principle of non-interference with the internal concerns of other nations was the best. (Loud cheers.) Her Majesty's Government had ad hered strictly to that principle, and their example had prevented the interference of other nations, so that every nation was now left to the settlement of its own affairs. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN, en rising to propose the next toast, said it was one which recommended itself especially to those of them who were fishmongers, seeing that the distinguished individual to whom it referred—Lord Brougham—had been a member of the company for 39 years. (Cheers.) He heard a gentleman near him suggest " months" and cer tainly if they were to test the noble lord by the vigour of his intellect months would be a more ap propriate measure of the duration of his member ship. (Hear.) They all knew how earnestly he had devoted himself to every object designed for the general good, to the emancipation of the slave, to the amendment of the law, and to the promotion of the arts, sciences, and 'literature of the country. (Hear, hear.) Only recently they had been reminded by the magnificent oration which he delivered in the city of Edinburgh of his stupendous powers of elo cution and the wonderful extent of his knowledge of public affairs. He asked them,therefore, to join with him in drinking the health of the honorary members of the company, and especially that of Lord Brougham. (Cheers.) The toast having been enthusiastically drunk, and with manifestations of the most sincere respect for the noble and learned lord, Lord BROUGHAM rose to return thanks, and was received, as he did so, with loud and prolonged cheering. He said :he rose to return his hearty thanks for having had bestowed upon him the honour of acknowledging the toast on behalf of the honorary members of that ancient cor poration, of which he had the honour of being at least one of the oldest. (Cheers.) He could not look back upon past times, however, without re membering that amongst those members were several of his most valued and distinguished friends, and particularly he might name the celebrated Lord St. Vincent, under whose banner—which floated over the heads of those who witnessed his victory at St. Vincent's—he had before now ad dressed that ball. (Cheers.) And he had the happiness of knowing that their latest acquisition of an honorary member was one which conferred honour upon them rather than upon him—he meant his gallant friend Lord Clyde. (Renewed cheer ing.) His noble and gallant friend began his career under the late lamented and illustrious Duke of Wellington—illustrious above all the men of his age, and lamented by all the men of his age, by the allies whom he had served, by the countries which he had saved, and not now unlamented by the foes whom he subdued. (Renewed cheering.) Lord Clyde began his splendid career under that illustrious man, and if he had been alive at this day, he would have been impelled by the gallantry of his conduct, by the bravery he had shown, and by the success which deservedly attended him throughout his arduous campaigns—the Duke of Wellington, he said, would have singled him out, as he (Lord Brougham) now did, for his chief and first admiration, while he would have equally appreciated in him that which had not escaped the observation and eulogy of non-military men like themselves, and upon which they were all of them competent to pass a judgment—namely, the gallant self-devotion with which his noble friend did not suffer two suns to go down before he set forth to India. (Tremendous cheering.) His gallant friend had justly and kindly given honour to whom honour was due, his excellent friend the Governor- General, and he had also done honour to whom honour was due in the persons of the brave sol diers who served under him, and who were proud of being under his command. (Hear, hear,) His noble friend, speaking of these gallant men, might well say that, so long as England had such soldiers at her disposal, in all climates and at all times, she need not fear any chances that war might bring her. (Cheers.) It was a comfortable reflection that, such a chief having returned to them, he should bear such high testimony to our gallant army. For one, he had no apprehension that peace would be broken, but mortals could only see a little way be fore them. The future was always more or less veiled; but at all events it was right to be prepared, and to feel that we were safe. (Hear, hear.) And here he would make the remark that he did not sus pect the designs of any particular power, and he hoped no power suspected us. People did not like to be suspected, but then the best way to avoid being suspected was to be careful that your conduct should. not be suspicious. War was a thing above all others to be shunned by all honest men ; yet as long as men were men, wars might happen ; and in SPORTING 'INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON RACES—WEDNESDAY.

WELLINGTON COLLEGE. . - The first regular-" speech day" of this institution, which bids fair to become a rival of : our more cele- bratcd public schools, took place yeEterday, in the presence of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, his Royal Highness Prince Arthur, the Earl of 'Derby, and a large party of guests, among whom were Sir J. Lawrence, Sir C. Phippg, Sir W. Cope, and the Rev. Mr. Kingsley. The ptaCf.l . 9.liosen for the ceremony was the great dining h t al4Apie col lege, in the centre of which, from a 61110111 . yr4evated. platform, the youthful Cicero harang*trilio assem bled Quirites, and the aspiring Rosa appealed to a good-humoured and kindly disposedl audience. After Kent's beautiful anthem, " Thine, 0 Lord, is the greatness," very sweetly arid cotrectly given, with which the proceedings s':cric.ca:l, Mr. Boughey, the head OritiPkt ol: the school, stepped forward on the platform. ais l h&-gau the recitations with a portion of Mr. Teirit yson's well known ode on the death of the late Mke of Wel- lington. Mr. Boughey, who yesterday " h•ire his blushing honours thick upon him," and carried away the palm from his rivals, willforgiVe us if we, in all kindness, suggest to him the old story of the Athenian orator, who, on being asked what Were the three principal parts of a speech, replied, " Ac tion, action, action." Still, on the whole, the per formance was very creditable. The Rev. Mr. Benson, the head master, then pro ceeded to award the Queen's medal, which, is to the school in point of honour what the Victoria Cross is to the United Services. The following extract from the statute will show the object for which this prize was established:— " Her Majesty would wish, by establishing this prize, to hold up to the admiration of the students, and tothcir emu lation as far as they are capable of emulating such virtues, the great qualities of the hero and statesman to whose honour and to whose memory the college has been instituted. It is not beyond the power of anybody to exhibit cheerful submis sion to superiors, unselfish good fellowship with equals, inde pendence and self-respect with the strong, kindness and pro tection to the weak, and a readiness to forgive offences to wards himself, and to conciliate the differences of others, and, above all, fearlesi devotion to duty and unflinching truthfulness. He who displays all or any of these quali ties will have so far trod in the steps of the great Duke." Amid the hearty applause of his comrades and of the whole assembly Mr. Boughey was called up to receive the medal by the head master, who in a few brief words highly complimented him upon the good conduct which he had always exhibited and upon the great assistance which he had given the masters in forwarding the discipline and organi zation of the school. At the conclusion of the speech his Royal Highness the Prince Consort pre sented the medal to Mr. Boughey, expressing at the same time a hope that the success which had marked the opening 'of his career might attend him through life. The medal, designed, as we were in formed, by the Prince Consort himself, bore on one side the head of her present Majesty; on the other the simple motto "Duty towards God and man" occupied the centre, encircled by the words, " In honour of Arthur, Duke of Wellington." The Prince Consort's prize for history was awarded to another distinguished pupil, Mr. Cubitt, who also received the governor's first prize for chymistry, Mr. Boughey gaining the second chymical award. The Archbishop of Canterbury's prize for divinity was carried off by Mr. Chase, while Mr. Stopford, after reading a very good specimen of French com position, was rewarded with the Earl iof Derby's prize for that language. A capital scene, capitally played, from " L'Avare," then succeeded, in which . Spence, ma., as Maitre Jacques, threw himself so thoroughly into the spirit of the piece as to elicit peals of laughter from the audience. Boughey made a good Harpagon,while La Fleche and Valero were well played by Kelly and Stopford. Mr. Ed wards, the winner of the governor's prize for Latin composition and the first mathematical prize, re cited a specimen of his composition, but spoke too low for us to venture an opinion as to its merits. The German prize was gained by Spence, ma., who certainly, if he put the same energy into his studies as into his acting, should command success. A very lucid chymical essay upon the composition, the properties, and the modes of smelting iron was then read by Mr. Cubitt, who obtained in return the governor's Ist prize for chymistry. Donne, ma., and Graham, ma., respec tively obtained the Ist and 2d prizes for botany. We must not omit to mention that Mr. Audain won the 2d mathematical prize, and that Mr. Newbury carried off the arithmetical prize against the whole school. The school prizes, in which several of the above-mentioned youths a second time reaped fresh rewards, were then distributed, and consisted of standard works of the best authors in very elegant and beautiful bindings. The proceedings were brought to a conclusion by a scene from the " Mid summer Night's Dream,' in which Bahington, as Quince the joiner, and Spence, ma., as Bottom the weaver, particularly distinguished themselves, giv ing themselves up uncontrolledly to the fun. of the moment, and diffusing it in an astonishing manner for such young performers among . the spec ors. Stevens's madrigal, " From Oberon in Fai r y Land," tat formed a fit epilogue to the scene, and was feelingly rendered and enthusiastically applauded. Domum," most creditably sung , showed sufficiently what was to be the result of the day's ceremony. The National Anthem, led by Mr. Bishop, the sing int, master, to whose exertions the admirable sing ing of the boys is c hiefly due, concluded what may be called the first and principal act of the perform ance. Between the acts the guests retired to the residence of the head master, where an elegant luncheon a waited them. In the afternoon a concert, consisting of sacred and profane music, given by the boys under the leadership of Mr. Bishop, b ro ught the arrangements of th e d a y t o a , n end. The number of the pupils is not yet completed. At present there are 149 pupils, and there is ample room for 60 more. - It is, however, ex pected , that after the vacation there will be but few vacancies, as the excellence of the education, combining as it does " those branches of scientific knowledge which have a special application to the arts , commerce, and industry of the countr y " with" what is usually understood by a good English and classical education," is beginning to be appre ciated.' , The boys, if we may judgem from en tso n theirth the :appearance, are the best sanitary comm ents situation of the school.
