THE LUNCHEON.

At two o'clock the chairman, deputy chairman, pro•
fessors, and company assembled in the great dining-ball,
where a very profuse luncheon was provided. At its
conclusion,

The CHAIRMAN rose and said he had to propose the
only tort,t that it was customary to give on that occa-
sion, which was "The Health of the Principal and Pro-
fessors," and said that although in two years that Col-
lege would be brought to a close, yet it had brought for-
ward men well qualified for the service of India. From
the time the College was instituted, its Professors were
men of eminent qualifications, which he believed was the
character of the men whose healths he had now the
honour to propose.' He concluded by proposing the
healths of the Principal and Professors. (Cheers.)
The Rev. HENRY MELVILLE, in his own name and
h that of the Professors, thanked the company for
manifestations of good will with which they had been
favoured.

man, near Aberdare, as reported in The San a few days
ago, has terminated in a verdict of " Manslaughter
against Solomon Lloyd, the enginemn." Lloyd's de.
fence is that the bell by which the engineman is warned
that the cage is approaching the mouth of the pit did not
ring upon the occasion, and indeed it was spoken to as
being often out of order. But evidence was given to
the effect that ;f the bell did not ring, or if the engine-
man had any liJon to suspect it was out of order, he
ought most cautiously to have counted the engine stroked
and to have looked at the block working in a slider.
