In each of the above classes certificates of honour were
granted to many who had not succeeded in obtaining me-
dals. The second silver medal in the class of " Nature
and Treatment of D:seases" was awarded to Mr. M,
Richards, of Norwood : the first silver medal in the phy-
siological class, and the second silver medal in the class of
comparative anatomy, to Mr. R. Garner, of Stafford-
shire; but these gentlemen having gained the same prizes
last year, the medals were bestowed on the students next
in merit to them, whose names are given above.
After the prizes had been given to each candidate in
succession—

Sir JAMES GRAHAM addressed the students in a short

* The first silver medal has been awarded to Mr. Henry
Cooper, of Tranby, near Hull; but as it had been settled that
the same student was not to receive the same honour in the
classes of the Professor and Demonstrator of Anatomy, and as
the Professor of Anatomy had assigned his first silver medal to
Mr. Cooper, the Demonstrator gave his first medal to the student
in his class next in merit to Mr. Cooper.

but very appropriate speech. He spoke to them of the
value and importance of medical science, and of the re-
sponsibility of medical practitioners; and be showed them
how humane, and grat,fying, and noble an occupation it
was to counteract by knowledge and by skill the thousand
accidents and ills to which the human frame is obnoxious.
Those who had proved successful he exhorted to persevere
with the same industry and application, telling them that
the honours they had that day acquired would prove their
disgrace, and not their glory, if their future deserts
fall short of the promise of their youth. To those who
had obtained no honours he recommended courage and
redoubled assiduity, cheering them with the hope that, in
the next year, they might be more successful. He begged
them all to bear in mind that youth was the only season for
acquiring knowledge, and he warned them that there were
no regrets so bitter as the regrets for mis-spent time, and
neglected opportunities for improvement, which came over
men whose days were absorbed in the activa business of
life, and who felt hourly the want of those acquirements,
the cultivation of which they abandoned in their youth for
short-lived enjoyments and unsubstantial pleasures. He
congratulated them upon the advantages they enjoyed
in being placed under such learned instructors; and he
reminded them, that if they tvere sensible of what they
owed to the founders and upholders of the institution, it
was in their own power to demonstrate their gratitude to
their own and to the honour of the University ; for the
reputation of all academical institutions depended not upon
the learning of the instructors, but upon the character of
the pupils. It was not, for instance, to the learning, and
the talents, and the research of Mr. Dugald Stewart, or
of Professor Playfair, or of Professor Leslie, that the Uni-
versity of Edinburgh was indebted for the eminence to
which it had been raised. This bad been effected by the re-
putation of the students who had received their education
there. The Hon. Baronet mentioned, in illustration, the
names of Mr. Brougham and of the late Mr. Francis
Horner, and he bade the students emulate such examples.
Dr. BIRXBECK also addressed a short speech to the stu-
dents, and complimented the Chairman upon the manner
in which he had discharged his functions.
The meeting then broke up, and Sir James Graham
retired amidst loud and continued plaudits, which the
manner in which he bad acquitted himself in the Chair
richly merited. No style of address could have been more
appropriate to each an occasion than the manly, unaffected,
and unlaboured eloquence of the Hon. Baronet; and tie
readiness and ingenuity with which he varied his congra-
tulations to each successful candidate, kept alive the inte-
rest of a ceremony which must otherwise have proved very
tiresome by its sameness and long continuance.

(From the Times.)

We stated on Saturday, what was then true, that the
state of his 111.a.raszy's health was alarming. In fact, on
Friday there were some symptoms which induced an ap-
prehension of mottifi.ation. We are happy to announce
that these symptoms have subsided; so that the cause of
immediate alarm has ceased. Beyond this, we have, we
lament to say, no ground for encouraging any hope.

Divine Service was performed yesterday in
