THE LATE RET. HUGE' JAMES ROSE.-KING'S COLLEGE,
LONDO?L-The subjoined is a copy of a minute of the Council
of this institution, in reference to the decease of the late
Principal of the College :-" The Council, having been in-
formed of the death of the Rev. Hugh James Rose, late Prin-
cipal of the College, which event took place at Florence on
the 22d of December last, are desirous of expressing the deep
concern with which they have received this intelligence, and
of recording their grateful sense of the conscientious and effi-
cient manner in which their late lamented Principal discharged
the duties of his office, while bearing up against the pressure
of an enfeebled constitution and failing health. Valuable as
were the services for which this institution was indebted to
him, the Council are well aware that they formed but a part
of those which his great talents, his varied learning, his ardent
piety, and his unwearied energy, enabled him to render to the
Church at large, to the interests of sound learning, and to
the cause of religious education."
Mr. Percival Frost, the Second Wrangler and First Smith's
Prizeman of this year, and Mr. Peaks, the Thirtieth Wrangler,
were of Oakbam School.
