UNIVERSITY COLLEGE.—DIS-
TRIBUTION OF PRIZES.
On Saturday the annual distribution of prizes in
the medical department of University College, took
place at two o'clock, in the lecture-room. The place
was crowded in every part. The number present
li
must have exceeded 1,000; a large proportion of the
audience consisted of ladies. Lord Brougham pre-
sided on the occasion. Lord Auckland, late Gover-
nor-General of India, sat at the right hand of the
Noble and Learned Chairman. Immediately after
the chair was taken, a brief report was read, in which
it was stated that the number of students attending
the medical classes was the same as last year—
namely, 300—of whom 93 had entered this year.
The following distribution of prizes then took place :

THEA PIRATE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN.
ac—
mletter received at Lloyd's, from their agents at
itlitaeef the 15th inst., of which a copy is subjoined,
*l'ows that this rover of the sea continues his lawless
Purtmit without hindrance or dread of detection. The
111,14 Y cases of recent piratage in the Mediterranean,
'attributed to a Greek barque, who has escaped the vigi-
ittnae of the men-of-war up to the date of the following
4t,ter, calls for very active measures for its suppression.
hu(t great injury which the shipping interest, both at
A(4lo* and abroad, has sustained by the reps ated depre-
glans of this pirate, would insure much eclat to him
it 'may be fortunate enough to capture her. Certain
, is that the infamous but bold depredations, if not

Ineasitres for her seizure. _ _

The distribution of prizes being finished,
Lord BRouGUAM rose and said; that; he had great
pleasure in presiding on that occasion, as he had in
being President of the Council of the University.
He was gratified at again meeting them, and that it
was in his power to congratulate them, not only on
the rising, but the -flourishing state of their funds..
He felt also bound to express his gratification at the
mode of distributing the prizes which had lately
been resorted to, a mode which secured the most
perfect impartiality. Nor could he'refrain from ex.
pressing the great pleasure he felt, when he con.;
sidered the high character of the professors of the
University.—(Cheers.) He had lately had an oppor-;
tunity of examining the celebrated medical institution
in the south of France—he meant the institution at
Montpellier—and he had great pleasure in saying
that their institutio.n would not suffer from com-
parison. The prosperity and excellence of ,their
stitution was: satisfactorily proved by the. number, of
degrees conferred on its students by the central
university. He wished -to speak with all possible
respect of the rival. institution,. (King's College) ; it
was a graduating university ; but it was, not remark-
able for the number of degrees conferred on its
students. Out of the 233 cases in whi,ch degrees had
been conferred by the Central College;
.114, or nearly
one-half, had been' conferred on the ituilents of the
University College.--(Loud cheers.) The number
of degrees conferred on the mediear students of King's
College was only' one-sixth M what had just been
stated. They (the University College) had no reli-
gious observances. They had been. blamed for thii,
and told they had too little religion. He (the Chair-
man) differed from-those who held that opinion. It
was because they had- so,much religion, that.they con-
sidered it too sacred a subject to be lightly dealt with.
At the other places medical -students coming from
Portman-squire and Other places at the West-end, at
two o'clock, to hear lectures, were not allowed to
enter the room unless they had been present at prayers
at ten in the morning. He thought this a clumsy
way of going to work. Whether medical students
were the most likely persons to relish this compulsory
attendance at prayers he.did not know. The financial
affairs of their institution were in a most flourishing
condition. The late Mr. Brindell, a barrister, and
a most honourable and worthy man, .bad lately left
them 20,0001., and Mr. Bacon had left them, subject
to the life of his widow, a sum which was expected to
realise 28,0001.—making in all nearly 50,0001., which
was now at the disposal of the council. , He had no
doubt whatever, at any rate he would recommend it
to the council, that that great building should be now
completed (Lopd cheers.) He now came to the darker
side of the picture. -Instead of being the first, theirs
was undoubtedly the last institution of the kind in To-
ference to science and literature. When the institu-
tion was first established, the projectors did confidently
expect that their .'magnificent establishent, in which
education of the highest order would be taught at so
low a rate, would be crowded with persons eager to
avail themselves of such opportunities. At Oxford
and Cambridge the same class and quality of educa-
tion, for Which they would only have to pay 251. per
u
mqttexe University College, would cost from
2001. to 300/. ; yet the citizens did not send their
children to receive the advantage of this economical

he felt for their conduct)—they preferred making up
a purse of 2001: or 3001. to educate their eldest son at
Oxford or CaMbridge, and left all the rest of the
family,to grow up in ignorance.--(Hear, hear.) No
one said that the University in which they were as-
sembled was not in a centrical situation ; no one com-
plained that it was not a healthy place ; and no one
contended that better teachers than they had were 'to
be had elsewhere; and yet, notwithstanding all this,
the sons of the citizens never darkened their doors.
He hoped to live to see the day when this stain on the

NEW ZEALAND COMPANY.
The adjourned meeting of the New Zealand Com-
pany took place on Friday at the New Zealand House,
Broad-street-buildings, Joseph Somes, Esq., in the
Chair, supported by H. A. Aglionby, Esq., M.P.,
John E. Boulcott, Esq., James R. Gowen, Esq.,
William Hutt, Esq.; M.P., Viscount Ingestre, M.P.,
Ross D. Mangles, Esq., M.P., S. Marjoribanks, Esq.,
M.P., A. Nairne, Esq., john Abel Smith, Esq.,
M.P.,Talward G. Wakefield, Esq., George F. Young,
Esq., Lord Dillon, Hon. A. Tollemache, George
Lyall, Esq., MJ., Russell Ellice, Esq., Alexander
Currie, Esq., and a very large number of Proprietors.
The CHAIRMAN, in reference to the report, said, from
the voluminous nature of the appendices to it, it was
impossible to lay them in a printed form for a day
or two before the Shareholders:
Mr. HARINGTON, the Secretary, then read the
report, of.which the following is an abstracts—
" The report stated that the Secretary of State had
rejected all the proposals submitted to his Lordship,
without assigning any explanation of the grounds of
his refusal, referred to the correspondence contained
in the appendix, on showing the Directors proceed-
ings in declining a suggestion made by the Colonial
Department ; and it drew a contrast between the
tone y the communication submitted by. the Com-
pany, :and the personal reproaches of which the replies
consisted.
" It was. stated that an impression prevailed among
the Directors to the effect, that Lord Stanley himself
does not participate in the ill-will towards the Com-
pany, constantly exhibited 'in the correspondence of
the Colonial-office and the local government of New
Zealand.
" A large body of the proprietors had given a.
written assurance of their approbation of the directors
in declining to accept a loan of 40,0001. from the Go-
vernment. Two letters, dated May, 1843, and con-
taining an agreement entered into between the Com-
pany and Lord Stanley, had been. Put by his Lordship
into the hands ofCapt. Fitzroy, when appointed Gover-
nor of New Zealand, and on doubts as to their inter-
pretation being suggested by sombody,' Lord Stanley
had furnished instructions
.to Governor Fitzroy, in
June, 1843, which materially altered the letter and
spirit of the agreement, but did not communicate
those instructions to the Company until February 1,
1844, nearly seven months after Governor Fitzroy had
left England; Had the Company been aware Of the
' interpretation put upbn the agreement, they would
have endeavoured to effect its recal, and, failing this,
would have protested against an important variation
of the contract by one of the parties without the con-
sent or knowledge of the other.
" This disregard of good faith by the Colonial-office
may be productive of very serious practical wrong to-
wards the Company and its settlers.
" From the attempt of the Government to colonise
without means, instead of merely governing the colo-
nists already settled and the natives, had arisen the
establishment of the seat of government near the end
of a narrow country 800 miles long, the discourage-
ment of the Company's settlements, and the induce-
Ments held out to. emigrants taken out at the Com-
pany's expense to re-emigrate to Auckland.
"These schemes the directors were bound by their
duty to shareholders and settlers to resist, and hence
may be inferred with what reluctance they consented
to that part of the agreementt, of May, 1843, by
which they engaged to take lands at Auckland, and
colonise there. •
"What, then, induced them to consent? Their
answer is, they felt the interests of settlers and pro-
prietors to be so completely at the mercy of the
Colonial-office and the local Government with respect
to the vital question of land titles, and the proceed-
ings of the Government were leading to such fearful
results that they deemed it their duty to obtain some
determination of that question by means of almost
any sacrifice. They . had implicit confidence in
Governor Fitzroy's.strict sense of justice and honour.
That confidence remains undiminished.
"But the agreement having been altered unknown
to them, they look with alarm for news of what may
have been the result.
" The agreement of May, 1843, was in lieu of an-
other agreement entered into with Lord John Rus-
sell, in Novsanber, 1840, by which the Company sur-
rendered to the Crown all claim to the land it had
acquired from the natives, and undertook to raise a
further capital of 200,0001., in addition to its original
capital of 100,0001., in consideration of Lord John
Russell's engaging that it should receive from her
Majesty a grant of as many acres as it had expended
crowns in colonisation. This agreement the local
Government seems always to have treated as waste
paper. A Court of Claims was established, into
which the Company was required to establish claims
which that agreement had compelled it to abandon.
The natives were the party on the other side. The
Court consisted of gentlemen who did not understand
a word of the native language. The interpreter was
also the sub-protector of the aborigines, and, as such,
both prepared out of Court the claims of the natives
against the Company, and acted as their counsel in
Court. He was just eighteen years old when ap- THE WILLS FORGERS.

The mother of Mrs. Dorey and Mrs. Saunders was
the daughter of an aged soldier, of the name of Crene,
a pensioner of the Government at Falmouth, and their
father, William Richards, was the steward of a Lis-
bon Government packet.. On the proclamation of
peace Mr. Richards went to Lisbon to establish him-
self there, but he soon afterwards died in embarrassed
circumstances in that city. The daughters had been
brought up as milliners, but on their father's
death the mother and daughters opened a
china shop at Falmouth, where they remained
a few years, when they removed, we believe,
to Biddesham, in Somersetshire, and at last to New
Bond-street, Bath, where they carried on the busi-
ness of straw bonnet-makers. In this street Saunders
kept a fish shop, and thus, from the circumstance of
neighbourhood, became acquainted with Lydia, who
played the part of Emma Slack, and it is believed
led the unfortunate naan, with the aid of her sister,
into all the mischief and misery to the details of which
the public have been so long accustomed. Here, also,
Mrs. Dorey, then Georgiana Richards, became ac-
quainted with that miserable ruffian Carlisle, on one
of his visits to that city, and to this source and the
blasphemous doctrines of Carlisle the whole of the
family ascribe their total ruin.—Sunday Times.

SUICIDE or AN ACTOR .—A remarkable case of
self-destruction occurred a few days ago, at Blackburn,
in Lancashire. The suicide was a gentleman most
respectably connected, a Mr. William Weston Ball,
aged 35. It appears that he had been a member of the
Lincoln company some time previous to his engagement
at Blackburn. The latter situation had been procured
for him, a few days before his death, by Mr. Arthur
Dillon, the theatrical agent, of the Harp Tavern, Covent-
garden. He arrived at Blackburn via Manchester, and
took uphis abode at the house of Mr. John Wilson, Dun
Horse'lnn, Blackburn, and, having introduced himself
to the manager of the theatre (Mr. Mills), he was
assigned Ferrado Gonzago, in the play of The Wife,
and was furnished the book to write his character.
After passing a pleasant evening in the landlord's com-
pany, he retired to his room at half-past eleven o'clock,
taking with him a glass of rum and water, and pens and
ink, giving the landlord the prompt book, which was
sealed up, to send to the manager after nine the next
morning. At ten on the following morning, the manager
hastened to the deceased's lodgings, and inquired for
him, and was directed by Mr. Wilson to his room. Mr.
Mills immediately returned, and stated that he was un-
able to wake deceased, on which the landlord went up
to deceased's bedroom, and found him dying. Medical
assistance was immediately summoned, but without avail.
He expired at half-past eleven. In the room was

DEATH or REAR-ADMIRAL THE HON. F. P. 'REY,
C.B.—We have to record the demise of this Hon. and Gallant
Officer, which took place at Byland Hall, Norfolk, en Wed-
nesday last. The deceased was second son of Frederick,
second Lord Boston, and brother of the present Peer. He was
born on the 18th of April, 1779, and has been twice married,
and leaves issue by both marriages. The late Admiral was
Midshipman of the Montague in Lord Howe's action, and
was also present at Camperdown, at that time being Lieute-
nant on board the Circe. When in the command of the
Amelia assisted at the destruction of three French frigates off
Sable D'Olonne, in 1809 ; and in the same year, bearing com-
pany with the Statira, captured the Mouche corvette, and
several armed vessels, off St. Andero. In 1811 he assisted
at the destruction of l'Amazone French frigate off Cherbourg.
He fought a sanguinary action with l'Arethuse, in which
the Amelia lost 144 killed and wounded, her adversary 195,
who escaped, from her consort, the Rubis, of equal force, being
in the vicinity. His commissions were dated as follows :
Lieutenant, San. 6, 1797 ; Commander, April 22, 1800; Cap-
tain, April 14, 1802 ; and Rear-Admiral, Jan. 10, 1837.

OFFICIAL RuMoras.—lt is generally understood
in official circles, that the Ministers intend making a strenu-
ous effort to buy off the opposition of Mr. Hume. If the
Honourable economist is placed in a position for which he is
adapted by his peculiar talent, he will be offered the com-
mand of a revenue cutter—for his tact in cutting down the
avenue mast be, on all hands, admitted.—P" b•

THE KING OV TRH Fn cit.--We understand that
there no longer exist any doubts respecting the visit of the
King of the French to this country. The precise period of
his Majesty's arrival has not yet been definitely decided, but
there is, we believe, every reason to suppose that he will land
at Portsmouth. His Majesty ha.s selected Portsmouth la
preference to Southampton at the suggestiou of tiolne naval
officers, on account of there being a clear channel at all tiros
of the tide at the former place.--Pox
