THE QUEEN'S COLLEGE, BIRMINGHAM.

The annual meeting of the Governors, Fellows,
and Members of this Institution was held on Sa-
turday last ; at which the Mayor presided.
After a short and eloquent address from the
chairman as to the great value of the college to the
town and midland counties, the Dean of the
Faculty was called upon to read the annual report.
It appears that during the last 12 months 13
students have passed the Royal College of Sur-
geons ; 10 students have obtained the license of
the Society of Apothecaries ; four students have
received the midwifery license from the same
hotly ; on two students the degree of M.D. has been
conferred by the University of St. Andrew's ; two
students have presented themselves before the East
India Board and have obtained commissions ; one
student has passed the first examination for the
B.M. degree at the University of London, and has
obtained the gold medal for proficiency in anatomy
and physiology offered by that body ; four students
have been placed in the first division at the matri-
culation examination of the same University ; and
ono of the late students has been elected Professor
of Surgery at the States' University, Madison,
U. S.

The report embraced a comprehensive view of
the several departments—viz., the Medical, Engi-
neering, and Theological departments—and was
unanimously adopted. The following names were

LARGE LOBSTERS.—A correspondent of the Dartmouth,
Observer having described a lobster of 9.11b5. weight,
taken at Anchor Stone, as the largest ever captured in
the Dart, another correspondent of the above journal
states that a lobster was taken in a trawl net in the Dart,
on Oct. 1, 1827, which weighed 12 klbs., having both the
large claws perfect ; and in 1830 a lobster weighing
141bs, was taken of Falmouth in a trawl net.
