The CHAIRMAN then rose and addressed the cadets;
get.erally. He said that it then became his duty on
behalf of himself and his colleagues to congratulate the
gehtlemen cadets on the excellent report that had been
bubmitleil t them, which had beers attended with 'web
satisfactory results, and for which he begged to offer to
the lieutenant-governor, the public examiner, and the
professors, the thanks the Court of Directors. It was
to him ina,t gratifying; to be able to announce that,
ainoi,gst those who had distinguished themselves in the
last term, a large number of the cadets had qualified
themselves fur etigineere and the service of the artillery.
He might be permitted to say, for the encouragement of
the jubior terms, that although they might not all be
efficiently qualified for the higher branches, as they were
not all equally prepared on coining to Addiscombe for
the service of the Enghacees, it would induce iu them
habits of close attention and industry, which they might
turn to good account, and on which, eventually, they
.night build successfully on the foundations laid in that
college. There was a want of all the ability they pos-
sessed for the service of India. India was a large field
for enterprise, and success there was in their own hands.
He need not mention the names of officers educated
at lA.ddiscombe who had distinguished themselves,
but not in India alone. In the present war many of
the gentlemen educated at Addiscombe had been en-
gage]. But ho would only mention two of them—Bar-
nard and Lake. Mr. Lake was remarkable for his de-
fence of Kars, and Mr. Barnard had distinguished
him-
self at Silistria, and in several other engagements during
the present war. Mr. Barnard was an officer of the Ma-
dras army, and of little more than five years' standing.
Those who were about to leave this country must make
themselves familiar wish tho language, habits, and preju-
dices of the men whom they would have to command,
and he beseeched them to abstain from all society and
indulgences that would lead to vice and extravagance.
Thsir pay would be ample, but if they exceeded it by ex-
travagance their future prospects would be seriously im-
perilled. He had hoped that his Grace the Archbishop of
Canterbury would have been present amongst them that
day, as he had promised to attend, but an unexpected
engagement had prevented him. Had he been able to
attend, no doubt he would have offered them some most
