CHRIST'S HOSPITAL,,

.
Yesterday the annual delivery of orations by the senior
scholars took place in the Great Hall of the hospital
before a crowded audience ; the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor presiding. The occasion, we need hardly remark,
was one of great interest, and the manly declamation of
the scholars well deserved the assemblage and its applause.
To dwell upon the value of exhibitions of this kind, of
their encouraging effect on the minds of the younger
scholars, and of the stimulus they give to still greater
exertion on the part of the senior ones, would be trite.
They are proceeding to the universities by a title won
by their talents and honourable industry- • a title pub-
licly declared and maintained by their orations. They
have given hostages to fame, and on the extent to which
they redeem them will depend the Measure of that
success which we heartily wish them. • To impress still
more the obligations they have so nobly contracted, we
subjoin a list of their names, and the orations they
delivered : •
