as it turned chiefly upon certain points of discipline , connected in some degree with the new arrangements to be mentioned below , was of too local , and we trust temporary , a nature to interest our readers . In regard to the distribution of the Prizes for
general eminence and good conduct during the session , the Visitor observed , that the first would certainly have been allotted to Mr . Wawne , by whom it was received last year , had he not ( though for reasons
approved by his Tutors ) omitted this session part of the regular business of the third > ear . The first Prize was , under these circumstances , awarded to Mr . George Cheetham , the second to Mr . Edmund Strutt , and the third io Mr . John Marshall . Several other
names were mentioned as deserving of distinction ; but as it afterwards appeared that such extra-notices are more apt to stir up jealousy than to produce the effect intended of exciting a spirit of general emulation , it is proposed that the Visitor shall in future confine himself to the simple notification of the names entitled to
Prizes . The Prize for the greatest improvement in Elocution , during the session , was adjudged to Mr . Owen . The President ' s Prize for eminence in extempore speaking was not claimed . The Prize proposed by Mr . Archibald Kenrick , for an English Essay on the Influence of the Reformation in
England , was adjudged to Mr . G . Wawne , though among the other Essays , one of very considerable merit was delivered in by Mr . Cheetham . The Prize for an Essay in Greek
