THE ROYAL MILITARY• COLLEGE.

. ,
On Friday and Saturday, the usual half-yeatly public
examinations were' held at this Institution, before a
Board of Commissioners, at which theie were present,
General the Earl of RossLys, G.C.B. Lieutenint.Ge
nerals Sir A. Hoes, G.C.B. the Gotreenor,'Sfr-Groane
MURRAY, G.C.B. Sir J. W. GCHIDON, Bart. and
the Quaner-Master G.:neral, Major-General Bit H.
TORRRNS, K.C.B. the Adjutant-General, Col. BUTLZat
the Lieutenant Governor, and other Officers. .• •
- Early on Friday morning, numerous-ifieBiatori Were
attracted to witness the Review of the Battahottbf Gen-
'tlemen Cadets. The animated and soldier-like appear-
ance of the youths under arms, with their band-and co-
louts, gave a gaiety and splendour to the scene, which
was heightened by the brilliancy of the weather, and
well contrasted with the quiet grandeur of the build-
ings in the back, ground.
After the military inspection, the Commissioners pro-
ceeded-to the mote important business of the day: Se-
veral classes of the young Gentlemen appeared before
them for examination in the different branches of the
collegiate course of studies—Mathematics, Fortification,
Military Drawing and Surveying, History, Latin, and
the Modern Languages. The general result was
highly =satisfactory. Several young Gentlemen ob-
tained recommendations for commissions; about five-
and-twenty graduated towards the same object; and
others, whom his Royal Highness the Commander-ia-
Chief was lately pleased to reward with Ensigncies, for
their good conduct and attention to study ; and as a
proof of special-favour to the Institution, now came for-
ward to establish parts of their qualifications. The ex-
aminations did not close until a late hour in the even-
ing ; and, on the following morning, the Board of Com
missioners again assembled, for the examination of the
Officers studying at the senior departMent of the Insti-
tution. The following Gentlemenappeared before the
Board:--Captain T. R. Mottoim., Bth Hussars;
Lieutenants J. P. SPARRQ, 88th Regiment ; J. POOLE,
22d Regiment; J. M. SPEARMAN, Royal Artillery ;
WILLIAM CARTAK, 79th Regiment ; A. CHAMPAIN,
75th Regiment ; W. HAMILTON, 78th Regiment; and
J. N. Faamerou Rifle Brigade ; and all acquitted•
themselves-so-perfectly, as to obtain certificates of the
entire appyobatints of the Commissioners. Many' erten
sive aud, highly-finished military surveys, sezecnted by
'him—particularly two of the Me of Sheppey, and a
latge district of the mainland of Kent—were exhibited
on this occasion ; and these Officers, besides undergoing
with ability the customary examination in Fortification
tbropshout its branches, gave satisfactory proofs that
they had carried their attainments in the Mathematicf
farther than any preceding class.

the intervention of some obstacle or other prevented her
carrying her purpose into effect that day, and she turned
