m every class in India; and the interest
I take in all that concerns Her Majesty's Indian empire I assure
you will ever continue. I think it highly desirable that a club
of this nature should have been formed, so as to bring natives
of India into direct communication with our own countrymen, and
that facilities should be afforded them to find a comfortable
place where they can meet together for the interchange of ideas,
and where they can seek relaxation after their labours in the
professions which they have come here to study. That it will be
found in every respect desirable, I am sure, and I have not the
smallest doubt that it will be successful. I am glad to hear
from Lord Northbrook of the money which has come from India. It
is gratifying to know that the Indian Princes have been
magnanimous in their subscriptions, and have shown the great
interest they take in the success of the undertaking. I heartily
wish prosperity to the Northbrook Club."

Some letters from India having been read, and several native gentlemen
having been presented, the Prince made a tour of the club with the
committee.

CITY OF LONDON COLLEGE IN MOORFIELDS.

the great hall, which is capable of holding about 1000 persons, and
which was densely filled.

The Reverend Prebendary Whittington, Principal of the College, read an
address thanking the Prince for his presence, and stating the objects of
the College. He mentioned that in 1858 the Prince Consort paid a visit
to Crosby Hall, and testified his approval of the work done for the
intellectual, social, and moral improvement of the young men of London,
by consenting to become the first patron, an office which had since his
death been filled by the Queen. Her Majesty had testified her continued
