UNIVERSITY COLLEGE PRIZES.

The annual distribution of prizes to the students of
medicine attending the London University took place
on Saturday forenoon, in the Institution, in Gower-
street. The Duke of Argyll presided on the occasion,
and the ceremony was witnessed by a considerable num-
ber of the students and their friends, including a fair
sprinkling of ladies. Sir Roderick Murchison, the Right
Hon. Mr. Strutt, and other influential gentlemen were
also present.
The Dean of the Faculty of Medicine commenced the
proceedings by reading the report of the professors for
the past year. It stated that the number of students
attending the medical classes last session was 175, of
whom 55 commenced their studies within the year. The
number of new students in the preceding session was 47.
The distribution of prizes was then proceeded with,
and was watched with lively interest, especially by the
fair portion of the assembly. Loud cheers followed the
announcement of the name of each successful competitor ;
and when a student happened to be called up more than
once to receive prizes in more than different classes, as
was the case in several instances, the cheering swelled
into a perfect shout of triumph and congratulation.

A BAD DEBT.—The balance due to this country on
account of the Greek Loan, guaranteed by it, has now
reached 472,5181. The sum which we have to pay, and
are still yaying, is 47,000 a year. The last sum received
by us from the Greek Government, in repayment of our
advances, was, as long ago as 1848, and the amount
was only 7,7401,
