'The extraordinary success of Messrs.

CUMIVIERCiAL. LIVERPOOL, PRIDAV Elie CottonLtda. The Lireepnoi Cotton garket during the past week was of quite au animated character, owing to the accounts front the States reporting a great comparative falling off in receipts and shipments, which strengthened the belief in small estimates of crop, and was generally considered strongly in favour of holders, together with the news of the conclusion of peace with China. All parties being willing operators, large daily sales resulted, and with less free supplies holders of American obtained an advantage of 1d to id per lb., the market closing with an upward tendency, Brasil and Egyptian were firm, and Surat was in good request and Id per lb. higher.

Flour like wise participated in the improvement, and barrels realised 6d and sack Flour is more money. Oats were fully as dear, and Oatmeal 6d per load higher. Indian Corn was in fair demand, with out variation in value. Other articles commanded top prices. —With scarcely any exceptions, we experience at this period of the season a dulness and depression from which the trade seldom recovers until at least a month of the New Year has passed over ; the extraordinary circumstances, however, which prevail in reference to the crop we have lately realised, the immediate absorption of all we receive from abroad, and the manifest dependence there exists on the continuance of aid from foreign supply, sufficiently evidence that the present season is to prove an exception to the general rule, and that considerable activity will continue to prevade the operations of consumers, with the tendency to rather enh . dncing prices, or at least the firm support of existing currencies; easterly winds prevent any important arrivals, and the market is comparatively bare of good to prime Wheats, which obtain extreme values, the want of choice alone preventing so large a demand as we have hitherto found ; low descriptions, which have been more plentiful, have not been taken off so freely the past two days, but fully maintain their previous value.

In the Liverpool Provision M ar k e t, d ur i ng th e past week th ere was a moderate retail demand for Beef, at about previous rates; small parcels of ne w have arrived, but the prices asked checked business. Pork was quiet, without chan g e i n value ; Trish , Hombre, and French were eas i er t o buy, hence the s mall s tock of Am er i can an d t h e prospect of small s u pp lie s created no di spos i t i on towards higher prices. Fo r Bacon the dem an d was slow, but more activity is looked for after the turn of the year. A few arrivals of new L ar d caused a decline of 4s to 5s per cwt., and re fi ners and dealers bought with great caution.

Amongst the features which contributed to the decline were the continued unfavourable accounts from America, the organised resistance to the income tax in India, and the reversal in the semi-official Paris press of discussions respecting the probable course of events in Northern Italy next spring. Some effect was also produced by the increased demand for money. On the other band, there were rumours that Austria is not indisposed-to make concessions with regard to Venetia. British railway stocks in several instances declined. In the discount market the demand was decidedly brisk, and there were signs of diminution in the supply of money. There were a few transactions at lf per cent., but in most quarters the full Bank rate was insisted anon.—Daily News City Article. T re - English funds have been dull from a variety of causes ; they opened at a decline of 8, and subsequently experienced a further fall. The news from Bombay of the organised resistance on the part of the great body of native tribes to the income-tax, and of the unsatisfactory state of the army in that presidency, constituted the chief reason for the prevailing heaviness. The tendency to depression on the Paris Bourse, coupled with the covert intimations given to Austria that she must con sent to sell Venetia or be prepared for a new war in the spring, likewise had some effect, and finally the market was influenced by a sudden and considerable increase in the demand for loans on Government securities. The rate for advances in the Stock Exchange was 4 per cent., at which there was an active demand. In the afternoon the requirements increased, and applications were then made to the Bank, where the Minimum charge is 5 per cent. In the discount market also the demand was active. About £20,000 in bar gold was taken from the Bank. It is expected that the Australasian .Cunard steamer on Saturday will take out some more gold to New York.—Times City Article. The railway market remains intrinsically good, but some depression was caused yesterday, partly by sales to close speculative accounts preparatory to the holidays. Most of the leading stocks left off a I to i per cent. lower. Grand Trunk of Canada Railway stock ex perienced a renewed decline of fully 1 per cent. yesterday on the publication of the report of the Committee of Bondholders. Further proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court in the case of Lawrence, Mortimore, and Co., stand adjourned to the 11th of January.

You must knoW that the new coinage did not go off so freely as we wished (all because we did not introduce your style of a double T) ; several bankers refused it even at a discount of 10 per cent. ; the Chinese order was merely a feeler; and your reply has given great pleasure up here. On submitting it to the Duke, he was so delighted with your "pluck" that he would bring it under the notice of her Majesty, who said (t o the best of my recollection)— "Belly is a good su b j ect—w orthy of a place i n "enterprising Liverpoo!. Let him, therefore, not " ship any Better to China, but supply it, ' as before,' "to m y worthy people—of England; and send hina half a ton of the new Bronze, with thanks from me."

There is no additional news from China, excepting that General Montauban's alcount of the capture of Pekin, which is published in the llioniteur, differs in some respects from the English version of the sacking of the Emperor's palace. The General states that there was an equal division of the whole of the booty between the allied forces engaged. We are glad to hear it. There is no European foreign news of importance. The Calcutta papers say that the disbandment of the sth Bengal Europeans followed immediately the military execution. The prisoner marched round the square in rear of his coffin, and was sbot dead at the first volley. He acknowledged the justice - of his sentence, and met his death with manly resignation. Scarcely had this terrible scene been enacted when, at an order from Brigadier Welchman, C. 8., the 73rd foot moved up in front of the sth Europeans, the artillery loaded with grape on either flank. The sth were then commanded to order arms, then to pile arms. They obeyed, and were at once marched some short distance clear of the pile. No sooner were they quite clear than two companies of the 73rd, filing rapidly to the spot,. intervened between the sth and their arms so as to pre vent the possibility of any rush to recover them. When this had been accomplished the Brigadier read out an order pronouncing the doom of the regiment. It was struck out of the army list; all its non-commissioned officers were reduced. to the ranks, and the men, divided into five equal portions, were draughted into the five remaining regiments of the Bengal army—men with medals on their breasts, who had fought England's battles all over the world. Many of the old soldiers who had been draughted from the old Bengal and from royal regiments appeared to be utterly heartbroken; and sobbed aloud. The Calcutta Englishman pays a high compliment to Sir Hugh Rose for the energetic prompt'. ness with which he has encountered and quelled this fresh mutinous movement among the European troops ; and congratulates India on at length having the good fortune to possess a commander-in-chief who is equal to the •' situation ;" but these sentiments are deprived of the greater part of 'their weight, in consequence of their : being expressed at the expense both of Earl Canning. and Lord Clyde, whose conduct and acts have not suc ceeded in meeting the approval of the conductors of the paper referred to. It is announced that the directors - of. the Atlantic ,Telegraph Company have determined, at their own expense, to keep the undertaking afloat, in the hope that at same future time'the capital required for the renewal of its operations will be provided. The court-martial on the loss of her Majesty's ship Perseverance has closed. The court adjudged Com mander Power to be severely reprimanded, and to lose . one year's rank. The master was also severely repri manded, and ordered to lose three years' rank. The, court commended the conduct of the other officers and crew, The interesting ceremony of presenting the freedom of the city of London to Lord. Clyde and Sir J. Outram on Thursday evening, was followed by a magnificent banquet _at the Mansion House. Sir J. Outram was prevented attending from indisposition. The Duke of Cambridge, in acknowledging the toast of the army, said it was in a more efficient state for defensive purposes than it had been for many years. Captain Sir F. M'Clintock spoke on behalf of Lord Elcho, who had been named in the toast in compliment to the volunteer force, and said there were many little ways - in which the dovernment could assist it, and such assistance would be gladly accepted. The water in the London parks is frozen over, and the skating commenced yesterday. There has been a severe snow storm in Hampshire and along the south coast. The snow fell for nearly sixteen hours, without intermissson. Trains were - stopped on the So.uth- Western Railway. The fire boxes of the engines became choked, as the snow was five feet deep in some places. In this neighbourho o d th e f rost steadily con con- tinues, but there has been no further fall of snow as yet. Her Majesty has contributed 100 guineas to the fund in aid of the distressed riband weavers-of Coventry and its neighbourhood. Her Majesty and the Royal party returned to Windsor from Aldershott on Thursday afternoon. In consequence of the a heavy fall of snow, the parade of the troops ordered was countermanded, It is now placed beyond doubt that the projected Turkish loan is a complete failure in London, and it would appear that its prospects are scarcely any better at Paris. It has been resolved that the Stock Exchange shall be closed on Monday next, and the day is expected to - be observed as a holiday in all departments of business. Lord Palmerston presided, on Wednesday, at the meeting of the Romsey association for the encourage ment of labourers, and addressed them at considerable length in delivering the prizes. The following strange occurrence is related by the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian : "The Marquis of D ---'s ( ? Downahire) yacht, now at Naples, has been the scene of one of those tragedies of real life which we are apt to think, in these dead level days, lie far away from the region of real life, in the domain exclusively appropriated by the dramatist and the tale miter. The Marquis had been for some time cruising with some members of his family, including a youthful daughter, Lady Alice The yacht was commanded by a half-pay Lieutenant of the Royal Navy. The Marquis coming on board unexpectedly, from an excursion on shore, if I am rightly informed, found his captain at the feet of his daughter, kissing her hand. The indig nant father—a man of Herculean strength—seized the offender, and, let it be hoped, intending only to tear him away from his unseemly place and action, flung him over the bulwark of the yacht into the sea, when he went down at once, in spite—add some of the versions of the story—both of the Marquis's and his sailors' efforts to save him. I would hesitate," says the narrator, "to repeat a story so like the invention of a . French romance writer had I not such information from persons just returned from Naples as leaves me satisfied of its substantial truth. It is, as I have said, already generally current, and cannot fail to be in a very short time the subject of newspaper comment, and, I fear, of solemn legal procedure." The Grand Trunk of Canada Railway Stock experi enced a renewed decline of fully one per cent. yesterday, on the publication of the report of the _committee of bondholders. The Marquis of Dalhousie, the predecessor of Earl Canning in the Governor-Generalship of India, has at length sunk under the illness which he contracted whilst in India, after sufferings of a very aggravating character. His lordship expired at Dalhousie Castle, in the county of Edinburgh, on Wednesday evening last. He leaves two daughters, but no son. The Marge* is, therefore, extinct; but the Scoteb ..dato earldom Lord Panmure, and estates of Dalhousie, pass fr his lordship's first cousin.

The vast consumption of these remedies in India and throughout the East is a better proof of their excellence than the testimony of any individual. They would not be in such demand in all our distant dependencies and colonies, if they had not been found so universally beneficial. Few itternal or external diseases can withstand their joint influence ; whilst the Ointment cools, soothes, and remedies outward complaints, the Pills by purifying the blood, improving indigestion, and stimulating the kidneys, thoroughly throw out from the system those subtle corruptions which engendered erysipe!as and its associates. Perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, and functional regularity, are speedily restored without medicine, purging, or expense, to the most discrdered or enfeebled, by Du Barry's Delicious Health Restoring Revalenta Arabica Food, which removes • ,• indigestion (dyspepsia), habitual constipation. htemorraoids, liver complaint, flatuency, diarrhoea, dysentery, nervotAness, biliousness, scarlatina and other fevers, sore throats, cattrrahs, colds, influenza, whooping cough, diphtheria, measles, micken and small pock, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, g,ta, impurities, eruptions, hyiteria, neuralgia, irritability, sleep lessness, acidity, palpitation, heart-burn, headache, chbility, dropsy. despondency, cramps, spasms, nausea and sikncss, sinking, fits, cough, asthma, bronchitis, consumption, s'rofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stonuch and between the shoulders, &c., atrophy or wasting away of the body in old and young.

CHRISTMAS OLD WlNTER,—hoary, dim, bare and shivering, —now spreads his chilly white mantle over the face of nature. The biting blast of bleak Decem ber sweeps over the open heath and whistles through the wiry, frost-bespangled and snow laden trees. The benumbing influence of this dreary month creeps through every cranny 'of door and window: All living breatni•et shrink from the bitterly piercing cold and seek shelter under cover of their innermost retreats. Yet there is something about this dark season that throws forth a gentle yet decided and alleviating effulgence, and which gladdens the heart and stimulates the sentiments into gay &Stitity and niirtliftil glee: Lite a solitary 'star into Cold blue firmament, lighting the benighted towards their desired haven, Christmas comes during this winter weather,—bright, jovial, and free,—to cheer the heart and comfort the spirit with those holy aspirations and social enjoyments, which we owe chiefly, if not wholly, to that glorious system of ethics and religion, of which He was the founder, whose birth that great national and ecclesiastical festival is designed to commemorate. As the gladsome star shone forth at midnight upon the anxious shepherds of the East to mar shall them the way to Bethlehem, so, during these blighting nights of cold and miserable darkness, Christmas makes its appearance to raise our drooping souls and cheer our fainting hearts; to light them on their way to uplifting hopes and invigorating joys. To the enlightened and devout, the grand annual celebration of the festival of the Nativity must ever bring comfort and joy. If the interests of society are the same as the interests of christianity,—if the enlightenment of modern life, of which we so justly boast ourselves, is - only the enlightenment of christianity, how gratefully and solemnly ought we to strive con sistently to commemorate the birth of its founder. While we crouch towards the blazing fire and heap on fresh fuel—while we gladden our hearts with the cup of kindness and cheerfully spread the board of generous hospitality—while we rejoice in the ornamentations of the bright holly-berry, the green laurel leaf, and the once sacred misletoe bush—while we burn the Yule log and offer unstinted wassail—While we joy fully bring in the boar's head " with garlands gay, and rosemary" amid the pleasant music of the Christmas carol, inspiring warm emotions and bright thoughts—shall we not also acknow ledge the duties which necessarily and properly accompany the honours and privileges of Christ mas-day? • • - But what of the poor, the hungry, and the naked, whom. the blessed Founder of our holy religion never forgot ? Shall they not also rejoice on Christmas-day P Shall we joyfully do honour to the birth of Him who " continually went about doing good," and yet neglect the poor whom He left to us as a perpetual legacy that- we.might exercise towards them some mea sure of that unbounded' charity which He set forth for our example ? Shall we deny our faith and turn .our religious festivity into a mockery and a delusion ? It is difficult, perhaps, for the sons and daughters of plenty, who never knew want, to form a just estimate, of the sorrows and suffer ings of the destitute. But let them try to realise the anguish of the outcast and forlorn, that their - compassion may be moved to acts of mercy befitting this hallowed season. Behold the widow and the-- fatherless, unsheltered, ill-clad, and unfed, shivering and starving in the snow, and looking only for death to relieve them of their load of misery and woe ! Behold the aged and infirm, the young and the unprotected, who can not. help themselves, and whose only trust is in Heaven and on the cold' hand of legal charity. Shall they mourn, and pine, and perish, un thought of and uncared for, while the more fortunate and opulent on that great holiday sit down amid every luxury to boards that groan again with all the good things of life ? Writing in this strain the leading journal says : Christmas always brings its clients. The genial old man whom we delight to picture at the head of the festive board or on the throne of the fireside, ruddy though grey-bearded, and jolly though in years, sur rounded by two or three generations, has a portion of his heart left to spare for the drooping, half-naked, and more than half-starved objects who are holding out their hands and uttering the plaintive accents of distress at the kitchen door. The naked and hungry are as neces sary to the season as. its holly-berries and its mincepies ; and, if you would have luck for the next twelvemonth, or at least that internal happiness that is better than luck, you must do your duty to some of your suffering fellow-Christians. Last Christmas, if we remember right, it was the mass of labourers and their families gathered by the sudden demand for the new docks and warehouses in the far east of the metropolis. This time it is a very old story, as old as Godiva, but with great variations. The silk and riband weavers of Co ventry are actually starving in such numbers and so utterly that we almost fear to state the figuies, lest the case should be thought hopeless, and moderate people should hold back their charity for more manage able distress. The working population of Coventry dis trict is estimated at near 60,000; and, as in the least distressed part two-thirds are out of work, have been so for a long time, and will be so for many weeks or months, it follows that more than 40,000 sufferers are appealing to us for food, fuel, and, no doubt, clothing, at this dead and cold season. It is a fact that ought to be remembered every time we sit down to a Christmas party, or fill our pews at church with the young folks from school. It is a season for sacrifice, and Christmas must have its offering, as on its first day, and as the old painters drew it. Don't we see even the poor shepherds bringing their lambs and their poultry, and the kings bringing their gold, incense, and spices, to a humble family in a stable ? That is a picture for all time. The great original is rehearsed every year at our doors, not in shows and mysteries, but in sober realities. The Lord of the season always sends his representatives to receive our homage and our offerings, • Whatever, in a national aspect, may be the requirements and righ4 of the unfortunate dis trict above re ref P-a a to, it is clear th a t i t s t an d s i n need of t he most generous consideration and .aaritable care. It is not less certain, however, that we do not need to go any distance from our own doors to discover ample opportunities for the worthy display of those graces and liberalities which best adorn this festive season. In this great town there are, unhappily, hundreds and thousands who know nothing of voluntary charity, and whose hands would gladly open to receive the gifts of those who think lightly of the boons which are within their power to confer upon the poor. Let every respectable family of means resolve to provide for at least one needy family in their neighbourhood, and see to their Christ mas jovialties, and we shall have a really "merry Christmas;' At this inclement season much good is to be date by a little well-timed bene- Valente, We do hot heed to go to Coventry, There are plenty of needy acid Stakiitig, and willing recipients of charity, in our own great town. Where the heart is willing, A way will soon be found to testify its charitable inclination. Let the rich see to it that Christmas, at least, is a Universal and joyous holiday,---worthy of the great Occasion it is designed to celebrate.

Si on behalf of the dollen by four of the members. The Re*. W: R. HUNT, incumbent, in presenting the address (*Welt wits Written iti a most elegant style, ornamented with gold and eoloured letters, in a suitable frame), said that it gave hitt great pleasure in doing so, because he felt convinced it was what it stated, a spon taneous offering of his friends ; and he could say so from his not having anything to do with its origin. He also thought it his duty to thank Major de Bentley for the invaluable services and support rendered to the church, when much needed, by him when churchwarden, and also his father; who furnished the plate and principal deboratiens fol thb Ufa; A Bible, which was did lioi4lid iii k iii6st elegant and costly style, ornamented with Clasp, ac;; I which his name is engraved, and inside an inscribeu memorial, was also handed to Major nn BENTLEY, who, in a very feeling and appropriate reply, thanked them for their kind appre ciation of his services, which, he said, were not calculated to call forth that feeling which they manifested towards him that night; what he had done was but his duty as Chriatiaii: After a vote of thinks to the ladies; the chairman, and the incumbent, the meeting broke DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES AT THE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION. The interesting proceedings in connection with the distribution of prizes to the successful pupils attending the Collegiate Institution, Shaw-street, took place yesterday, in the large hall of the institute, in the presence of a brilliant and numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, comprising the friends and parents of the youthful students, and many others interested in the well being of this admirable seat of learning. On the platform we observed the Lord Bishop of the diocese, the Right Rev. Dr. Vincent, the Bishop of Mauritius, the Very Rev. Canon M'Neile, D.D., the Rev. J. S. Howson, the Principals of the College, Col. Mountsteven, and several other distinguished members of the military profession, besides a large number of clergymen and ladies. The students mustered in considerable felfee, and throughout the proceedings lustily cheered their coz competitors, as each received the well-earned reward of his toil and application. His lordship the Bishop of Chester, who, on rising to address the audience, was greeted with loud bursts of applause, again and again repeated, said that the Prin . cipal wished him to address a few kind words to his young friends particularly, and he had great pleasure in doing so. He was glad to see so large a number of pupils of the school present on that occasion, and many friends of the institution who were assembled to do honour to the. day, some of • whom were well known to the youthful students;. they were honoured by the presence of a Russian officer, and also of several dis tinguished officers of her ajesty's service—Colonel Mountsteven and a gallant captain of the royal navy amongst the rest. (Hear, hear, and applause.) He felt quite certain that they would welcome the presence of the distinguished gentleman who occupied the position of officer in the Russian service, and he was sure that they would give him a hearty reception, whether he came engaged in the concerns of commerce, or whether he came, as it seems he did, a military officer in the service of his sovereign. (Cheers) He Would say also that he was sure that every one of them would cordially welcome a friend, on his right hand, the Bishop of Mauritius. The speaker recollected that When he himself used to come year after year to attend the examinations, the Bishop of Mauritius was one of the most efficient teachers and masters in the school. (Hear, hear, and 'applause.) His lordship used to take a very deep interes;; lrithe -management of the maid r-- institution, and exerted himself ..Mery much iv ... the interests of those committed to his care ; and he (the Bishop of Chester) was gladto - -findthat the recollection of his name was still honon.re,d •amongst them. He would, no doubt, fuldress'a few --kind words to them on that occasion, which - he - .hoped ;would be received by them with, that enthirsiasnrwith which they - received the mention of his wank (Hear - hear; and applause.) He should say that he c ongratulaied his friend, the principal, most heartily . upon , -the:Jipurishing condition of the institution - , Its. proiperitYhad - ai9t only contin ue d, bift it had. increased. (Hear, hear.) He saw that the number of .boys in the three- schools was greater now than it had ever been. (Hear, hear, and applause.) And he also saw from the -list-•that .he held in his hand that a greater number of the pupils-of the school than hitherto had had during, the 'past ;Year Very great and distinguished state,stes bi the, Universities of Oxford and Cambridge:-- - -.(hr, "heir — ' and loud Cheers,)—but more especially in Cambridge. He mentioned Oiford i although he had merely glanced - liie eye down the succession of names that:, appeared en the, list, and probably there might be, in some cases, instances where an Oxoniafi would seem to have distinguished himself. But he should say that in most of the names he read on the paper before him, the preponderance was most un doubtedly in favour of his favourite old Aimee Mater, the University of Cambridge. (Hear, hear.) Amongst the list of names of gentlemen who formerly paced through the halls of the Collegiate Institution, but who had during the present; year received university distinc. tions, and crowned Owir..hrows with university honours, he saw first the name of .T. J. Edwards, who had, last April, obtained a scholarship in Trinity College, in Cambridge. (Loud applause.) It so happened that this was the largest college iuthe University of Cambrid ge , containing no less than 400. students; and it was a great credit to 'this young - gentleman, and a great honour to the college In -Which he had graduated, and in which lie received his education, that he should have gained so high a mark of distinction. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Mr., R. Sanker h a d ob tained a first-class Trinity College priie in Cambridge, in the general examination in June,' in this year, which was also a great honour - and. reflected great credit on the young gentleman's abilities, as well as on the school from which he hed•reinoved to the University. (Hear, hear.) He also gained a University Carus Greek Testa ment priie, which was given beeause he was well able to construe .the Greek Testament in the, original lan guage, and -t4; - auswer many abstruse and critical philo logical as well as biblical questions that would arise out of the subject. He, moreover, gained a college G ree k Tes tament prize, and the Dealtry Prize, which was connected with it. Thus they would see that this talented alumnus of Cambridge who formerly pursued his studies in that very institution in which they were then convened had triple marks of honour. bestowed on him, each of which would redound to the credit of any scholar. The next name he saw .was that of Mr. B. Wilson, who had gained a first-class prize in Trinity College, Cambridge, at the public examinations held there in June, and also a College Greek Testament prize. Then he saw that of Mr. J. A. Lobley was first in the first class in Trinity College (Cambridge) at the June examination ; and he also saw tho name of Mr. E. H. M' Bile, as being in the first class in the same college. The ven. speaker recollected many years ago when the youth whose name he had just mentioned used to come up to that plat form to receive the first prize which he had won so frequently in that school. He yet remembered the bright, sunny, smiling, and ruddy face of the juve nile student, his head just peering over the table at which lie stood to receive the tribute that was so emi nently due to his youthful abilities and intense applica tion. (Hear, hear.) He had not relaxed in his efforts, or in his study, bat vim acquirit eundo, with each revolving year he gained fresh impetus, and won increasing laurels, doing credit to himself, and b e i ng a satisfaction to his father and mother. (Loud applause.) He pursued a course of good conduct in the school, and was successful; and he was now following up that line in another place, and, with God's blessing, he would in after life reap the benefits, and add increasing honour to his name. (Continued applause.) There was also the name of Mr. J. B. G. Moore, who had gained an open scholarship of £6O in St. Peter's College, Cambridge, in Nov., 1860, and he was in the first class in June, 1860. This sum of money was no doubt a very substantial aid to a student, but it was not its intrinsic value that should be so much looked to as to the worth of it as a -recognition of the recipient's perseverance and abilities. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Messrs. J. C. Brown and Rounthwaite had also distinguished themselves by being in the first class in St. John's College, Cambridge. At the examinations in June Mr. Fairclough had also gained a distinction by being in the first class in Christ College, Cambridge, where he obtained a scholarship and the prize for modern history and international law. (Ap plause.) His lordship spoke in enthusiastic terms of this college, with which so many endearing associations of his student days were so closely linked. It had been a home to him, and often and often he went back in memory to the happy hours he spent within its academic walls. He was glad to find that the Collegiate Institu tion supplied such a large number of students to C an- bridge, of which he spoke in eulogistic language a . t had although a Cantab himself, or as a man passed his collegiate course at Cambridge, friendly wished always to speak of Oxford with actuate feelings—with those feelings which should.t h s _till he Not withstanding this, he felt proud that a student when speaking of a sister u ni t v h e e rsi b ty ay .
