TW PATAILII ON ADMISSION TO Till CITT FAZIDOM.
Mr. D. W. WIRE met he had a proposition to submit to
the mart whisk WM. " Ulm all fines and fees peyable on the
adenines of passim to the freedoms of the City be abolished."
He eonaidered that to the principle of toefel and municipal
governmen the citizens were indebted for the majority of
the advisements they at menet enjoyed. It was, therefore,
rght that they should seek an ening. sent of the franchise,
or it would be found that they would reader themselves
subject to the evil influences of a government ernierent for ill
pinwales of everything of a " tralising character."
(Hear, beer) If Wm spirit of entrelisation was not to go
on, they must extend the freedom, and embrace within their
boundaries ell the residents in the City.
Mr. Deputy PEACOCK encoded the motion.
Aldermen and Sheriff LAWRENCE advccated the
same principle as be did upon a farmer occasion—namely,
the eztention of the trenching to pentane qualified to vote for
members of parliament. He concluded with acing an
amendment to that *Met.

Alter which several members of the Court expressed their
opinions upon the subject, and sheer a Meg and most desul-
tory discussion, the previous question was moved by Mr. H.

RING'S COLLEGE, LONDON.-DISTRIBUTION

OF PRIZBEL
The annual ceremony of distributing prizes to
the sore deserving students of this coffees took plea, on
Friday in the large hall at Somerset House, I. the presence
of a Urge otineortee of ladies and gentlemen. Tees Rev.
Mr. ANDZISON, preacher of Linintio'cins presided, and
was supported by Lord &Waal, the Bwhop of Toronto, the
Rey. Dr. Marti, Kr. Richard TenniJilf, Yr. Fresh&ld,
high sheriff of Barmy, sad several other persons interested
in the welfare of the lastitation.

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, elated
that the Archbishop of Canserbo, .ho was to have taken
the their upon this occasion, had been unexpectedly pre-
vented from attending; ar.d he had, therefore, been galled
sport at the eleventh boar to occupy the diztinguisbed yeti-
nos in which he teas placed. Th. E.rl of Herrowby and
ether noblemen had promised to be pretent, but letters had
fruit received from them stating that itanortent haziness in
the Houle of Lords had prevented MUM from fulfil:log their
intention.

Dr JELP, the principal of the college, then made a re.
port upon the progress of the college during the past year,
stating that students of four out of the six depenmetits it.to
which the inatitntion was divided, had been brought forward
to-day to receive tee rewards of their diligence and good
conduct, and strict attention to their religious elutcs. In re-
ference to the newly founded theological department, be cb
served, tt at no less than 60 theological stu tents whet bad re-
oeived the usociatesbip, either were or were about to be or-
dained ministers of the church. Of the @talents in the
various departments he eould not sj esk too highly, for he
remembered in the course of hi. elyirri•
ease so satisfactory a year as that which hod
just pigged. In no one instance bet he bound occaai'n to
animadvert upon the cns'uct of nor peremi, and be was
happy to have en opportunity of ensktre the announcement
thus publicly. He trusted that the diligence shoe nby the
students at the present time would euoble them in alter life
to attain distinction and honour, wbetner at Cambridge, or
Oxford, or in India. As he had alluded to India he must
mention the came of their illurrious honorary fellow,
Major Eiwardes, who was edwatt din this collier, and who
had distinguished blown- in such a manner as to do honour
to the instituti tn. There were two other pupils of this
rdlege who bed wow military distinctions—vie., Lieutenant
Herbert and Lieutenant Pollock, both of whom were well
deserving of being mentioned in connexion with Major Hi-
Wards s lie had just received a letter from Major E award.'
statiog that he had been prevented from beteg uresent at
this distribution of prises, but the fact was that he eras him-
self prepe:ing to 'votive the greatest pea that life could
offer. (Ceeees) The d princtp el then alluded in
very complimentary terms to the exertions that had been
made by the Egyptian students., some of whom bad distin-
guished themselves in the department of tits applied
wieners, and While wets new applying tninnaelgta to tae
study et the principles of diplomacy. lie concluded by ob-
serving that tie really believed that Oil c Meg. , without the
name of an univereity, or the privilege of cont.:Tits: grees,
comprised all the attlibut-s of an university ; and he would
only further say, in reference to the i siltation, Esto per

DEATH WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
CHLOZOTORX.—Os Friday afternoon an important investi-
gation took plea before Mr. William Payne, in the B
tard-
room of Oily% Hospital, respecting the death of Alexander
&Ott, aged 31, a police constable of the It division, who
died fr.m the effects of chloroform while undergoing an
operation for the removal of a portion of the rioht hand,
which bad been bitten by a man thirteen months
previously whilst on duty at Deptford.—Some ening,
portant evidence having been taken, Mr. Edward Cock said
the deceased wag sent to him by a surgeon at Deptford for
a *even pain in the right hand. One of the Angers tad
been removed, and deceased suffered great pain at the
stump. Witness fouled him to be a strong vigorous man,
The bone was in a diaeaaed state, as were also the nerves,
produciog immense tenderises, of the arm and right side of
the body. Tte only remedy wee to remove the end of the
bone god the dieessed 11.'TTO11. The deceased come into the
hospital to have the operation performed, when deceased
said " I hope, Mr. Cock. you will give me chloroform, for I
cannot bear the pain." Witness informed him that he
would rather not use It, and endeavoured to dissuade him
from taking it ; but the deceased add. d that he had made
up his mind to have it administered to him Witness al-
ways objected to the u e of chloroform. for it could be
gives without some degree of der ger. The ordinary machine
wee used, and, as it had net the sleet, witness directed that a
napkin should be folded into the chap• of a cone, which
was applied with chloroform. The operation of removies a
ponion of the bone occupied one minute and a half, but be-
fore it was completed the blood, which was gushing out,
suddenly stopped, when witness directed Mr. Lacy to feel
the palm of deceased, when they ascertained that the de-
ceased had aspired.—Coroner: What was the cause of
death t—Witases : The chloroform, most undoubtedly. la
this instance a very small quantity had been used, not a
tenth pat of what had been administered in other cum
Witness could not amount for the deceased dying, and was
senate there was no disease about hm, So strong and
powerful an agent was chloroform, that it could not be ad-
ministered without some amount of risk and danger, and the
penalty the public must pay for the alleviation from pain,
would be a death occasionally. A similar death weaned
about twelve months sires at St. Thomas's Hospital, end
many other deaths might be recorded. It might be used one
rie two thousand times or more successfully, and was of great
sesistascs to the operator. The public ou.ht to know the
danger and great risk attending its administration In many
cease where chloroform had bean used witness had waited
with breathlres attention for the recovery of the patient.
Witness strongly objected to its use.—The coroner then
summed upthe 'videos*, and the jury returned a verdict of
Died from the effects of chloroform."
