How BIRMINGHAM TREATED ITS VISITORS.—All
things seem to favour the Great Exhibition : it unquestion-
ably has luck on its side as well as good management, and
even the various entertainments which have been given in
connexion with it have been a series of successes unqualified
even by the weather. This was especially the case with
the Birmingham jute last week: it was an unmitigated suc-
cess : not a single thing occurred during the whole affair to
lessen the pleasure of those engaged in it, notwithstanding
that, so far as the London visitors were concerned, it began
about seven o'clock in the morning of the 19th and lasted
till one o'clock in the morning of the 20th. It w,s no mean
achievement to take :100 persons 112 miles, show them all
that was to be seen in that wonderful hive of industry, where
the buy bees elaborate usefulness and beauty out of rough
metals instead of honey out of flowers; to give them break•
fast, dinner, and a soiree; a little music, and a good deal of
speaking, and then to bring them over an,ither 112 miles to
their homes again without a disaster or cause for a grumble.
Right liberally and well did the people of ilirmingnain will
it, and ably were their views carried out by their worthy
mayor, Mr. Lucy. If Shakspere had been there, who said of
the mayor's progenitor, Sir Thomas—
\
" Though lucies a dozen he paints in his coat,
His name it shall Lowsie for Lucy be wrote,"

he would have withdrawn his denunciation for the sake ol
the descendant,—Builder.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON
The distribetion of prizes to the students of the fa-
culty of Arts took places on Saturday at the College,
Gower-str et; the Right Ron. Sir J. Graham, Bart.,
M.P., in the choir.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, ex-
pressed the pleasure whit n he felt in ettending on that
occasion, and of which he was sure the numerous audi-
ence before him would partake. He then suggested that
silence must be preserved if what took place was to be
heard, tend called upon the Dean of Faculty to read his
report.
The report in question, which was generally of a con-
gratulatory and hopeful character, stated that th'e num-
ber of students in the faculty of Arts and Law during
the session had been 241; and that of these 184 attended
the ordillary classes, and 57 the courses of lectures ad-
dre-ssed-peeuliarly to schoolmasters; the number attend-
ing these last showing an increase of eight.
To the progress made in the several departments, and
to the exemplary conduct, of the gentlemen composing
their classes, the several professors testified, each giving
his own report, and announcing to the chairman the
names of the successful candidates to whom he was
then to award the prizes. In presenting the various
books and medals which he had to distribute to those
whose exertions had darned theme Sir James Graham
took occasion to point out to each youth the importance
of the studies in which he was engaged, their present
its, • -
use storing the memory and training the mind, and
their 'ultimate application to the exigencies and require-
ments of life: The immediate utility of a knowledge of
history, politics, and law he showed by ordinary and
known examples; to prove that botany was more than
an amusement, he cited the recent investigations into the
causes of the potato disease—a case in which statesmen
had looked to men of science for their guidance and
help; and to illustrate the advantages resulting from
an acquaintance with analytical chemistry, he remarked
how needful it was to persons requiring to form conclu-
sions on a question with which he was then occupied—
the water supply.

Having dtstrthuted all the prizes, and addressed suit-
able observations to the winners of each,
The CHAIRMAN said teat, according to established
usage, and at the desire of the council, it was his duty
at the close of that interesting day's proceedings to ad-
dress a few words to these around him. Placed there
in a seat of learning, in one of the colleges of the metro-
politan university, and representing the council which
governed that college, he felt and appreciated the diffi- •
culties of his position, His general knowledge was not
enough to enable him to deal satisfactorily with the va-
rious subjects studied there; and besides, his various
avocations bad by their number prevented his bestowing
that preparation on what he was about to say which the
importance of the occasion and the audience might have
demanded. Still, however, there was this advantage,
that what fell from him would be warm from the heart
the spontaneous effusion and faithful expression of his
feelings.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.)
He was surrounded by the professors under whose tuition
the audience whom principally he addressed had studied.
It would not, therefore, be necessary for him, in the pre-
sence of these gentlemen, as well distinguished by their
learning as rendered dear to the youth of that college
by the care bestowed upon their education, to go branch
by branch through the various subjects which had come
before them. It had been the good fortune of the pro-
fessors to stimulate their pupils to exertions, to encou-
rage them when weary, to correct them when in error,
to point out to them at all times that rugged path which
led to excellence, to learning, and to future fame, and
more than all, to lead the way which they urged them to
tollow.—(Cheers.) But for him. there was left on this
occasion a task comparatively easy. He had only gene•
rally to enforce the principles which in addressing indi-
viduals he had endeavoured to make plain as foremost
in his thoughts; it was his wish simply to remind his
audience of the importance of that period of their lives
at which they had arrived; to suggest bright hopes for
the future on the one hand—to warn them, on the other,
of the bitter regret with which they would look back if
they lost the opportunities of improvement which. . they
might now enjoy—(Cries of "Hear, hear)—and which
in some instances, their parents had afforded them at
much personal sacrifice. Already he had pointed out
what appeared to him the great advantage of the exact
sciences, and had said that, useful as they were in the
ascertainment of the facts to which they related, they
were yet more useful as the " medicine of the mind," as
able to overcome that tendency to desultory reading
which so much weakened the mental powers. Of Bacon
and the profoundness of his knowledge the chairman in-
cidentally spoke; and, whilst lauding his system of rea-
eeeieg, he took the opportunity to recommend the study
of his essays, which abounded in the strongest sense,
conveyed in the purest language, and applicable to every
variety of cite =stance. He was delighted to see that
they prosecuted their studies in. the higher branches of
science. He knew not whether within those walls New-
too was studied; but even if not, the elements which
would keel to a comprehensioit of his immortal works
were, there taught in perfection; and Newton, it always
eptvpiare te
d to
him hid
gelize ansproaelzed the very cenlines ofr
litte7P6'wer of human ifOeeStand-
de*in,
ing. Wltsh. regard, to,. jlessek4hale unkarqtanaiirg , itself,
its tunaion was not so much to bring mat-
ter a: to bring mind into subjection. With
a repetition ed his warning against the error of
desiring immediate " practioal " results from studies,
the ohj: eta of which were higth and remote, the speaker
proceeded to dwell on the ennobling privilege granted to
itiose who lived in constant and familiar intercourse with
;he great men r,f antiquity, who knew and sympathised
with those celebrated in all ages for their glorious deeds,
for their struggles for liberty, for their taste in arts, for
their matchless eloquence. or for their poetic powers;
and on these points to which ho wished to draw atten-
tion he quoted Virgil:-
- Excedent alii epirantia rnolliae sera,
Credo quieten); vivos descent de marmore vult;
()rebuilt causes inclines eml'que meatus
Describeat radio, et sargentia sidera dicent ;
Tu regere imperie pol)ulos, Romane, memento;
tibi erunt artes ; pacisque imponere morene,
Parcere subjectie, et debellare superhos.
The first art alluded to in that passage was the great art
of statuary; end here also, in this country, excellence in
that branch of art was of i careens° value. It stimulated
the warrior and the states man to fame, by promising to
hand down their names,to. succeeding ages. Already.
those younger than he cotald only form conjectures of
what was the appearance of Pitt by the statue of Chan-
trey; their notion of Canning, from the work of West-
macoti.—(Hear, hear.) Lie also, within this last fort-
nieht, bad bed to appeal to statuary to Perpetuate the
recollection of one whose boss he from his heart, while
life lingered, must depdore.—(lf hear.) It was
not indeed that the names of Peel required bronze to
commemorate his greatness, for he " had scattered plenty
o'er a smiling land," and his history might be read in a
grateful nation's eyes; but still statuary was wanted, for
to that art he must appeal. to give to the next generation
some idea of that face velliichhe had so much loved in
this.—(Loud cheers.) Then as to law. Were they not
proud of the names of Romilly, and Horner, and
Brougham? The studies they prosecuted there might
lead them to equal eloquence and equal fame. In
science there had of late years been advances made which
would render this age me morable in those to come. The
wind, the waves, the ocean itself had been subjected to
man; they had the wonders of the locomotive—the groat
marvel of the electric telegraph. In every art and branch
of knowledge progress was visible; yet everywhere there
lay open to them a new field for improvement.—(Hear,
hear.) In this country elerythieg was open to every
one of those whom he was addressing. Talent, com-
bined with industry, and approved by virtue, might here
rise to any eminence; so that from amongst those young
men then surrounding hint some might command listen-
ing senates, and some sway the destinies of empires.
And coming to the last pant of the passage which he had
quoted, he might say that they were the descendants of
brave men, and that, were, their rights endangered, they
vistild, dare to defend them,.—(Hear.) But in the age in
which we lived, he was happy to say the arts of peace
predominated. In conclusion, he would say ore
word on a eubject
gi bhetrist t

College— jr.
which, though delicate, he could not
flags by.

able, considering the unhappy difficulties which exist
among us on religious topics, that reeular education
vSitheut distinction of relegious creed should be freely
provided within those walls; and this opinion he etill
entertained as strongly as ever. He believed, with
Junius, that really to improve the understanding was to
nlasee the heart; but though such was hie firm convic-
tion he could not stop there. It was not, tads ed, tee
duty of that College to impart religious instruction, but

ho should ill discharge his duties if he failed to remind
them that tatih in his in2ivi heal capa,?,ity was bound to
examine for himself the sacred truths, and under an ob-
lis;ation not to reg!ect that subject, which, after all, was
the most important to which man could apply himself.
The things which were seen were temporary—those un-
seen eternal; each of them it behoved to recollect that be
must meet his God. He entreated ►.hem not to overlook
this subject. He thought it was Paley who said that
since Christianity began, in every age there had been
millions whose names had never been heard, yet who
hud by it been made better in their• disposition, improved
in their conduct, and rendered happier, not in their ex-
ternal circumstances, but in that &ens in which true
happiness consists—tranqtdllity of mind. It was, then,
❑o ill wish he offered them when he prayed that these
consolations might be theirs in-all the trials of life, and
at the hour of death. With this prayer he concluded;
and at parting he warmly, respectfully, nay, he had alinost
said affectionately, bade them farewell—(Cheers.)
-The Right Hon. Chairman haying concluded his ad-
dress the proceedings terminated.

ROYAL COLLEGE OF YHYSICIANS.
A number of distinguished visitors assembled on Sa-
turday afternoon in the library of the Royal College of
Physicians, Pall-mall East, to hear the Latin Harveian
oration, which was delivered by Dr. Spurgin. Among
those who were present we—observed the Archbishop of
Dublin, the Bishop IST-Lichfield, the Bishop of Bangor,
Sir R. Inglis, General Sir G. PollOck, Sir A. D. Croft,
Lieutenant-Colonel Carpenter, the Hon. Captain Maude,
Dr. Brande, the Rev. Principal Lee, Dr. Lee, Dr. Lerner-
cier, the Rev. Dr. Major, &c. At four o'clock Dr. Spurgin,
in his scarlet robes, preceded by the mace-beater, as-
cended the rostrum, and the President of the College
(Dr., J. Ayrton Paris), Dr. Hawkins, registrar, and
other members of the institution (also in their robes of
office), having taken their seats, proceeded to deliver
the oration, which was listened to with great attention,
and of which the following is a summary. After a few
introductory sentences he remarked upon the delight
attending the discovery of truth as well as the mode in
which it should be investigated, and pointed out the
superiority of the analytic over the synthetic me-
thod of discovery. This was forcibly illustrated by
the great discovery of the circulation of the blood
by the immortal Harvey. He next adverted to the
paramount importance of the blood in relation both to
health and disease, and showed that in it was contained
the means by which life was preserved and perpetuated,
and that the very origin and well-being of the whole
body depended upon that marvellous agent. A very
high tribute was paid to the memory and character of
Harvey, iu honour of whom the ovation was instituted.
In complete harmony with Harvey's discovery, Dr.
Spurgin propounded a new view of the supply of blood
to the muscular fibre of the heart. He argued that that
supply could not be derived from the coronary arteries,
as is universally taught; but that it flowed through cer-
tain foramina in the cavities oh the heart itself, to which
all the coronary vessels stood in the relation of veins. In
confirmati ,n of this view, he pointed out a peculiarity in
the structure of the coronary arteries, and referred to
medical history, which affirded an initaece of a total
obliteration of the passage through these arteries with-
out causing a cessation of life. He re xt offered
some interesting remarks on the existence of a " via
formatrix" pervading the whole animal world, but

that tavern-keepers and licensed victuallers who use silver
plate in their houses for the purpose of measuring in es,
liquors, or malt liquors, and serving them to their cus-
tomers, must have it stamped with the Westminster stamp.

would disfigure the plate, if he should remove into another
district; but the Court gave the jury instructions to go to
the party again, to see whether he had complied with the
