KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON.

The annual distribution of prizes to the students of
this College took place on Friday afternoon, in the spa-
cious hall of the institution, which was crowded with a
distinguished and highly respectable auditory of both
sexes, who evinced the greatest interest in the proceed-
ings. Among the company present were his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Bishop of Lich-
field, the Bishop of Llandaff, R. W. Jelf, D.D., Princi-
pal of the College, and a large number of the professors
in the several departments of science and art which are
prosecuted within its walls. In the unavoidable absence
of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, who, it was
announced, would preside on the occasion, the Lord
Bishop of Lichfield occupied the chair. In introducing
the business of the day,
The CHAIRAAN observed, that while he deeply re-
gretted that his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury
could not attend to preside over the ceremony that day,
still he trusted that, he would be permitted to say, with-
out offence, that in some respects he (the Chairman) felt
himself peculiarly fitted to occupy the chair, inasmuch
as he had been a member of the council of that college
from its commencement, and filled the post of its prin-
cipal for fire years. He rejoiced to know that the col-
lege was making rapid progress, both as regarded the
number of its students and the high character of the
studies they pursued, as well as with reference to their
proficiency in those various branches of knowledge. It
was at all times most gratifying to award to merit its just
weed, and it was particularly so to him, on the present
occasion. when he felt assured that the greatest care and
impartiality had been exercised in testing the deserts of
the respective competitors.—(Applause.)
The PRINCIPAL then addressed the Chairman upon
the general state of the institution, and announced the
names of the students to whom divinity prizes had been
awarded ; after which the prizemen in each class were
called forward in rotation by the professors of the given
class, and the chairman distributed the prizes, accompa-
eying their presentation with such appropriate hortatory
and encouraging remarks as the nature of each case
suggested. The list of successful candidates is as follows :
