On Wednesday last there was a party in the hall of
Christ's College, consisting of all the resident members
of that society, on the occasion of their half-yearly
audit, when the Master and Fellows presented to the
Lord Bishop of Chester, late Master t f the College, a
most gratifying memorial of their respect and affection
for him. The present consisted of a splendid silver. vase
and a pair of silver tureens, the work of Messrs. Make-
peace and Walford, of London. The pedestal of the
vase (which stands nearly two fact high) is square, and
exhibits on one side a beautiful silver medal (inserted)
bearing a representation of Christ's College, in bold re-
lief. The college arms and the arms of the Bishop deco-
rate two other sides, and on the remaining side the fol.
lowing inscription is engraved :
