DULJVICII COLLEGE.

Yesterday the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone,
M.P., presided at the annual distribution of prizes
to the students of Dulwich College who had been
successful in the various competitions of the past
session. The ceremony took place in the picture-
gallery of the institution, which was crowded by a
numerous audience of ladies and gentlemen, the
friends of the pupils, as usual on such occasions,
constituting a majority of the visitors.
The customary speeches in Greek, Latin, and
English were delivered by the young gentlemen to
-whom their recitation was entrusted with great care
in all cases, and in some cases the youthful de-
claimers gave strong indications of histrionic ability.
The presentation of prizes having concluded, the
Rev. A. Carver, head master of the college, gave a
brief description of the present position of the insti-
tution, and dwelt upon the continued success which
attended the efforts of the professional staff during
the present session ; after which he congratulated
the meeting on the presence of Mr. Gladstone, who
would now address the visitors and pupils.
Mr. GLADSTONE, who on rising was loudly
cheered, said that imperative engagements would
necessitate his departure in a few minutes. He
deeply regretted this, but, having performed a
formal duty, be could not leave without saying a
few words. He did not believe that it was easy for
the young gentlemen whom he was addressing to
understand the interest with which older persons
recalled their labours in the earliest stages of meri-
torious exertions and success attained by diligence.
There were two significant names among the list of
those who had received prizes—Young and Water-
loo. In one sense they had all a claim to both these
names, for they were all young, and they had shown
that they had all of them some and many of them
much of the spirit which made Waterloo a name
immortal in the history of the world. He assured his
youthful friends that they could hardly conceive the
enormous importance to themselves of the hours they
had now at their disposal for study, and they could
form no conception of the bitterness with which they
would regret the abuse of the opportunities now
within their reach. The richness of the fruit which
their labour would secure for them was incalcul-
able. They should not regard their prizes as mere
testimonialsei of
talent a
forn and industry dustrynd reward for
past future and reward for
past and encouragement for future exer
exertion. The
true rewards for labour were found in labour itself,
and would be enjoyed by those who were assiduous
in their studies now. Those who had been unsuc-
cessful would be equally benefited by their industry,
the results of which would fit them the better to
withstand the temptations of life. He did not wish
it to be understood that while he had spoken of
mental labour he desired to decry physical excel-
lence, least of all would he wish to see the two
divorced, for they were not antagonistic ; the one
was, as it were, the complement of the other in
forming the men who had to face the battle of life.
He congratulated them on the prospects of the in-
stitution, the ample means it possessed, and -the
efficient superintendence which it received from the
respective authorities who were entrusted with its
management and government. He could not but
feel that nothing could be more honourable to the
college, nothing could be more satisfactory to those
who took an interest in its welfare, than the honours
which the pupils of the institution had obtained at
the universities. Though an Oxford man himself,
he heartily rejoiced that Cambridge was to have
the advantage of receiving as undergraduates those
who had distinguished themselves in the school dur-
ing the past session
• e was glad to see the school
was so amply endowed, and still more glad to see
that rigorous rules of system were to be relaxed, in
order that the minds of students of every class
might be trained to the position which they would
hereafter have-to occupy in life. There never was
a period when education was more important. They
lived in times when great extension of power was to
be granted to the most numerous part of the com-
munity, a power which had been justly claimed and
earned by the classes now about to be admitted to

its exercise. Further there was pervading the corn-
naunity a conviction that the time had come to ex-
tendthat they might all contribute their relative portions
of intelligence and instruction to
gs of instruction among the people,
the blessings
the great struggle
of life. They had all much to learn—even the best
of them might have done more than they had actu-
ally achieved. Most men's energies often ran to
waste, and he trusted that those he saw before him
would not relax their efforts, and earnestly desired
that the blessings
their labours. of the Almighty would crown

A vote of thanks having been
passsed to Mr.
Gladstone, the concluding speeches were delivered
by the scholars. Three cheers were then given for
Dr. Carver,• the head master, after which the pro
ccedings terminated. - • •

AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE SCOTIA.

NEW YORK, June 12, Morning

Governor Wells refused to surrender the Ar-
chives of Louisiana to Mr. Flanders, whereupon
General Sheridan sent his staff officer with in -
structions forcibly to eject Governor Wells, who
surrendered his office under protest, and there-
upon Mr. Flanders assumed the duties of Go-
vernor.
Th 3 Texas Legislature have abolished the two
judicial districts, the judges of which were strong
Union men. General Sheridan nullified the act,
and reinstated the judges.

General Griffin has removed the Galveston
police for inefficiency and hostility to the Freed-
men, and a new police, formed partly of negroes,
has been appointed.

General .Swayne has directed the negroes to
assume the municipal offices at Mobile, the late
white incumbents declining to be reappointed.

It is reported that a Cabinet Council was held
yesterday to consider the rezent removals of Southern
civil officers, and the outrages of Brownlow's militia

in Tennessee.
President Johnson and Mr. Seward returned. to
Washington on Saturday.

Chief-Justice Chase has ordered the jury of the
Circuit Court at Raleigh to be summoned without
distinction of colour.

The district attorney has challenged the jurors
summoned on Surratt's trial on the,ground that they
had been illegally chosen. He stated that the ma-
jority of them, like Surratt, were Roman Catholics.
Surratt's counsel, on the other hand, urged that
most of the witnesses against the prisoner were also
Romanists, and that if the petit jury were illegally
chosen so also was the grand jury, and the prisoner
was therefore entitled to his discharge. The Judge
reserved his decision.
Advices received here from Mexico state that
Lopez betrayed the principal fort of Queretaro into
the hands of Escobedo for 1000 ounces of gold. It
is reported that Escobedo killed a number of pri-
soners himself after the surrender.

Previous to the surrender the Emperor Maxim

Tian was complimented by the Imperial officers for
bravery under fire, and self-denial during the

campaign.

It is reported, on doubtful authority, that Maxi-
milian had issued a proclamation charging the Em-
peror Napoleon with cowardice and infamy in de-
serting him, and recommending all ambitious and
incautious Princes to consider his fate, and advising

he Mexicans to ennoble their cause with virtue.
Escobedo with a large force marched on the
6th May to join Porfirio Diaz to besiege the

capital.

Gomez continues in revolt against Juarez a

Tampico.

MARKETS.—This day.
MARK LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
grain were very moderate, but in fair average condition.
Sales prrogressed slowly, but Mbnday's rates were fully
maintained. The show of foreign was rather below the
average, and the business transacted was quite of a retail
character. Holders, however, were firm in demanding
Monday's currencies.

Of barley the supply was small, and, with a fair demand
for both grinding and distilling qualities, prices were un-
altered.

The malt trade was dull on previous terms. The supply
was moderately good.

Oats were in steady demand, and good sound corn sold
readily at full rates.

Beaus were in short supply, and prices were firm.
Peas were steady at full value.
The flour trade remains quiet, and prices are without
alteration.

BOROUGH HOP.

We have rather more favourable accounts from the hop
country, although fresh attacks of fly are reported from
some districts. On the whole, there is an encouraging
prospect of a fair average crop. Owing to the small stock
now on hand, the market continues firm ; and prices are
well maintained; but buyers are indisposed to operate be-
yond their immediate requirements.
