ford, Colonel Sim, Major Chase, Lieutenant-Colonel

Lieutenant Cook, R.A. senior professor of fortifi-
cation, Addiscombe, and Mr. T. R. Clarke, of the
cadet departmen, East India House, who was
warmly congratulated by his numerous friends upon
the success achieved by his son, Mr. H. R. Clarke ;
Sir John Herschel also received many congratula-
tions upon the brilliant success attained by his son,
now in his second term at the college.
The following civilians at home were also pre-
sent :—Mr. R. N. Cust, Mr. C. T. Le Bas, Mr. A. F.
Bellasis, Mr. George Couper, and Mr. Bransby
Cooper.
Upon the arrival of the directors at the college they
were received by the Rev. Principal Melvill, whose
report we subjoin :
" The Principal has much satisfaction in being able
to report to the Hon. the Finance and Home Com-
mittee that all the 20 students constituting the fourth
term have been found duly qualified for quitting the
college. 19 of these have displayed an amount of pro-
ficiency exceeding that which is demanded by the
statutes, and many of the number deserve very high
commendation for the attainments shown in various
departments.
"At an early stage of the examination two students,
having been detected in unfairness, were immediately
punished with loss of the term, so that only 64 are to
to be considered as having gone through the examina-
tion ; of these only two have failed to present the
amount of proficiency required for keeping the term.
The remaining sixty-two have passed with various
degrees of merit, but a very large proportion have
displayed a greater than the necessary proficiency,
forty-three being returned as highly distinguished,
and fourteen as having passed with great credit.
" It is satisfactory to observe that, though some
students have laden themselves with prizes, there has
been a great amount of competition for these rewards,
no fewer than nineteen having obtained the honour-
able distinction of prizemen.
" The important subject of English composition
continues to receive a very marked attention. Forty-
eight essays were sent in by competitors for the prize,
so that more than two-thirds of the students volunta-
rily undertook a great additional labour. Many of
these exercises were highly creditable to the authors,
and evinced both ability and industry.
" With regard more particularly to the Oriental
classes, the visitor remarks that they do not call for
any special notice on the present occasion. The two
senior terms have maintained the character which
they have hitherto deserved; and the two junior, al-
though not distinguished by many instances of more
than usual ability, have exhibited a very creditable
amount of steady application. The fourth term
offers, in all the languages studied, a few cases of
great proficiency ; and it may be observed that, of the
five students who have that mark in Sanscrit, four
have the same mark in two other languages also; one
has the medal awarded to him for Sanscrit and Te-
loogoo, another for Hindustani.
" In the third term there is a similar accumulation
of honours. Of the five students who stand first in
Sanscrit, four have also the mark of great proficiency
in Persian and Hindustani. All the senior students
of this term have distinguished themselves by the
very great amount of their extra reading, voluntarily
added to the amount required for passing the statu-
tory examination ; two have also added to their
studies very respectable proficiency in Hindi; and
one of these has further added to his acquirements a
creditable knowledge of Bengali.;
" At the same time it cannot be denied that both
the senior terms have a considerable proportion of
students whose attainments only just secure them
against absolute failure.
" With at least two exceptions the students of the
second term have not displayed any great aptitude
for the acquirement of languages, there being but one
instance of great proficiency in Sanacrit and two in
Persian. The student who is at the head of both
these classes has added to his attainments a knowledge
of a third language, Arabic, very respectable for the
time during which he has been able to prosecute the
study.
" The students of the first term have all made
considerable progress in the elements of Sanscrit,
their only subject of Oriental study.
" The Principal has great satisfaction in being able
to report to the committee that the term has, on the
whole, been passed in remarkable quietness and good
order. The great body of the students have con-
formed themselves, in a most praiseworthy manner, to
the rules and regulations of the place ; and no occa-
sion has arisen which has called for any severe exer-
cise of authority. (Signed),
" Dec. 15. " HENRY MELVILL, P.C."
The directors, having received the reports of the
professors and principals, adjourned to the hall of the
college, where the students were assembled.
Mr. Hope here read his prize essay upon the ques-
tion, " How far is it desirable for Governments to
leave works of national utility to private enterprise ?"
Mr. Norman then read translations into Teloogoo
and Sanscrit; Mr. Ouseley read a translation into
Persian ; and Mr. Moore into Hindustani.
Mr. Hooper, of the College Department, read the
following list of—

SERIOUS POACHING AFFRAY.

NOTTINGHAM, MONDAY.—A desperate encounter

Wood between the gamekeepers of Sir Arthur Clif-

belong to one of the poaching associations is this
county. The particulars of this affray are the fol.

the service of Sir Arthur Clifton, went as usual on
their rounds last night, and saw very little to
arouse suspicion, until after midnight, when
