KING'S COLLYGE.—THE SOHOOL.—The annual distri-
bution of prizes for the school and schools in union
with King's College, took place yesterday, in the pre-
sence of a crowded and fashionable assemblage. In the
absence of the Bishop of London, the chair was taken
by Mr. Cotton, who briefly addressed the assemblage on
the p!easing duty which it had fallen to his lot to per-
form, inasmuch as the prizes intended for distribution
were the result of admirable management of the schools,
added to perseverance and study on the part of those
instructed. Having spoken in eulogietio terms of the

chairman announced the commencement of the speeches.
After the delivery of these, the prizes were distributed,

market presents no novel or striking feature, and the
business transactions have been about the usual average
amount, and mosty confined to good dividend
and progressive mines, mere ipeculations not having
just now so much attention paid to them. If we
could but ensure a continued rise in the standard
for copper ores, and a better price for lead, there is little
doubt a very active business would follow in shares; for,
with plenty of money in the market, there is a great
disposition to embark in English mines. Devon Great
