At 1 o'clock precisely, His Excellency the Chancellor arrived at the gate of the College Avenue, in an open carriage and four, escorted by a party of the First Incorporated Dragoons. Here he was received by the President of the University, the Lord Bishop of Toronto, the Principal and Masters of Upper Canada College, and the Esquire Bedel, Wm. Cayley, Esq., M.

The following Address was then read by the Reverend Principal, Dr. McCaul, His Excellency standing in front of the chair, and attended by his Chief and Private Secretaries-Thos. W. C. Murdock, Esq., and Captain Henry Bagot, R. N.

ADDRESS.

Lætantes honore, quo urbem nostram dignatus es, Præfecte Celsissime, gratias tibi agimus, quod nos quoque haud indignos, quos visere velles, judicâsses.

Tibi in fidem et tutelam Collegium hocce tradimus, neque dubitamus quin Patroni munera libenter suscipias, et parvulos hosce Religionis et Doctrinæ cultores, quos tibi commendamus, favore amplectaris, atque eorum ingenia et studia benigne foveas. Sperare liceat, illum, cujus operâ promptâ et studiosâ, Canada exoptans, Collegio Regali, dono regibus digno, donata est, nostrum quoque Mæcenatem esse haud dedignaturum.

Provinciæ, tibi etiam, Cancellarie optime, hanc diem gratulamur, Universitatis Canadensis natalem, quam pectore bene fido, beneficiorumque tuorum memori, reponet nostra ætas,-reponent etiam,

"Et nati natorum et qui nascentur ab illis."

Deus O. M. det ut diu Canadensibus pacis cùm commoda tùm decora præstes, et semper, ut hodie, tuum sit, ut "inter olivas hedera circum tempora tibi serpat!"

TRANSLATION. (1)

Rejoicing in the honour, which Your Excellency has conferred upon this City, we feel deeply grateful that you have condescended to visit this Institution. "We commend this College to your favour and protection, not doubting that you will gladly undertake the office of Patron, and that, looking benignantly upon these youthful votaries of religion and learning, you will foster their abilities and encourage their studies. We would indulge the hope that he,-by whose prompt and energetic action the province of Canada, earnestly desiring so great a boon, has been blessed with the princely gift of King's College,will also deign to be our Mæcenas.

"We congratulate the province, we congratulate Yourself, O most excellent Chancellor, upon this day, the birth-day of the University,-a day which the present age will treasure up in grateful and retentive memory, and which will also be remembered for ever by

'Our children's sons and each successive race."

"May Your Excellency, through the favour of Almighty God, long continue to afford to this province the enjoyment of the arts as well as the blessings of peace, and as on this day, so may it ever be Your Excellency's characteristic, to wear as the chaplet on your brow the classic ivy twined round the olive, happy emblem of peace.

HIS EXCELLENCY'S REPLY.

Gratulationes Vestræ, tam sincere habitæ, mihi gratissimæ sunt. Collegio, quod commendavistis, haud deerit patrocinium meum, discipulosque vestros animo libenti in tutelam recipio. Nullum enim munus præstantius aut jucundius suscipere possum quam ea studia, quibus vos tam diligenter incumbitis, alere, quippe quæ Reginæ fidelitatem, patriæ amorem, et Deo reverentiam summam, tribuere doceant.

Dies hæc meâ in memoriâ penitus insidebit, speroque Canadenses Universitatis Torontoniensis bonis fruentes, ejus natalem "meliore lapillo" quotannis

numeraturos.

Hanc Provinciam, Britannici imperii subsidium et ornamentum, diu pace beet, Deum precor et oro,—ut Religione et doctrinâ pariter cum opibus augeatur.

TRANSLATION.

"It is with no ordinary feelings of pleasure, that I receive your cordial congratulations. Be assured that your College shall receive my countenance and support, and that I will gladly extend protection and fostering care to the pupils of the institution. I can indeed undertake no duty more excellent or more congenial to my feelings than to cherish those studies to which you so zealously devote yourselves, for they inculcate the rendering of allegiance to the Queen, attachment to father-land, and profound reverence to God. This day will for ever be imprinted on my memory, and I hope that it will ever be regarded by the inhabitants of Canada, whilst enjoying the blessings of the University of Toronto, as a most auspicious and memorable anniversary.

"It is my earnest prayer to Almighty God that this province, which at once strengthens and adorns the British Empire, may long be blessed with peace, that may flourish alike in wealth, learning, and religion."

Immediately on the termination of this part of the ceremony, the tolling of the College bell gave the signal for moving to the site of the University; (1) the vast procession gradually uncoiled itself, and His Excellency the Chancellor, with the President on his right and the Senior Visitor (the Hon. Chief Justice Robinson), on his left, proceeded on foot down the College Avenue, lined on either side by soldiers of the 93rd Regiment, and thence through the streets which lead to the University Avenue, each section of the rear of the procession, after he had passed through its open ranks, falling into its appointed place. The countless array moved forward to the sound of military music, in the most perfect order, and in strict accordance with the preconcerted arrangements. The sun shone out with cloudless meridian splendour upon perhaps the fairest scene that Canada has ever beheld. marched the long and glittering line through the fine budding plantations of the Avenue, innumerable groups studding the side-walks, but not marring the outline of the procession.(2) As it drew nearer to the site, where the stone was to be laid, the 43rd Regiment lined the way, with soldiers bearing arms, and placed, on either side, at equal intervals. The 93rd regiment was not on duty here; but in every direction the gallant Highlanders were scattered through the crowd, and added by their national garb and nodding plumes to the varied beauty of the animated scene. When the site was reached, a new feature was added to the interest of the ceremony. Close to the spot, the north-east
