 1. Copies of the Pivss List in -which numbers arc assigned 
 to the Oandirtates, who trained places in the Honour's List, shew- 
 ing the j)ositions they respectively took, in relation to Honours 
 Candidates examined in Plngland. 
 
 2. Copies of the revised Kegulations relating to the Gilchrist 
 Scholarship, in which the ambiguity previously noticed in R(;gu- 
 lation (SsTC., has been removed. 
 
 3. Copies, of the Regulations of the University of London, 
 containing the subjects of the Matriculation Examinations for 
 1870 and 1871. 
 
 With reference to the claim for remuneration, made by some of the sub-ex- 
 aminers employed to .superintend tho local examinations and the deduction for 
 (expenses of advertising, tfcc, which has been made in some instances, fi'om the 
 Matriculation Fees ])aid over to the University, I am to call your attention, to 
 the understanding wliich has always existed, in regard to the (-olonial Examina- 
 tions, (of which ^the one instituted at Mauritius, at tlio instance of Sir Henry 
 Barkly Avas the first.) (hat any expenses attendant on examinations, should 
 be Itornt! by the Colonics in which they are held. These examinations stand, 
 in reference to the University of London, on the precise footing of the Provin- 
 cial Examinations, held at different centres in this country, on the application 
 of Colleges or other Pul)lic bodies; by Avhich bodies the requisite accommo- 
 dation is provided, and all expenses attendant on such examinations undertaken. 
 
 The Senate of the University consider that the holding of its Matriculation 
 Examination in Canada is of advantage to the Dominion, not merely as furnish- 
 ing the basis of the award of the Gilchrist Scholarship, but also as giving to all 
 tlie Candidates who pass it a recognized status in the University of I^ondon, and 
 as preparing them to proceed to its Degree Exaniinations, if they shoidd so desire 
 and I am empowered to state that any application made through the Colonial 
 Office, similar to that contained in your letter of June 14th 1865, in regard to 
 Mauritius — for tho holding of the first and second B. A. Examinations in Can- 
 ada, Avill be favourably received by the Senate.

 Sir, 
 
 I have the honor to lay hefbro the ( 'ounnitteo, hero aniioxcd, my rocom- 
 moiidations rcgiirdiiig the Avays and moans for meeting tlio most j)re.ssing ueees- 
 sities, pending tlic sanction by the Secretary of State. 
 
 2. 1 also beg to subni't to tlie Committee tlie expediency of making 
 be ,f provisions for the examinations of our higher classes. 
 
 Such a provision is nor. only (tiilled for on account of the ditiiculty of 
 ]>rocuring suHicient examiners in so busy and so changeable acomnumity as ours, 
 but specially by the necessity t)f providing a constant iind reliable test of the 
 progress and studies of the Royal College. 
 
 These studies, according to the present Regulations, are based on the 
 programme of the Matriculation Examinations of the London University, and I 
 should therefore j)ropose to the Committee to move His ]<'xcellency to obtain the 
 support of the Secretary of State, to the end of securing to this Institution the 
 privileges granted by the London University in the Provincial Pass Examinations 
 for Matriculation for the Degree of B. A. 
 
 3. Tliere is no practical ditHculty in the way of such a concession. The 
 Examination papers might be forwardetl and returned like those of the Horse 
 Guards on similar occasions. 
 
 A sub-examiner might be named here] either by the Governor or the 
 University, 
 
 The names of successful Students would appear in supplementary lists. 
 
 The only (juestion iif moment or urgency, if this privilege be granted I)}- 
 the Senate of the University, would be in regard to the Examinations of 1865. 
 
 In such case, the books always indicated a year before by the University, 
 say for thirty Students, with all necessary information should be ])rocured as 
 speedily as ])ossible so as to enable the College to adjust the Studies of the 
 beginniiig of the Academical year, — Sept. ISGk 
 
 
 All other arrangements are of no urgency, and matter of after consideration.

 Refia-ring to your letter of the 27tli ult. (addressed to the (Jlerk of the 
 Senate) with its eiieiosurcs, I am diroeted l»y the Senate of the Uiuversity of 
 London to transmit to you, for the infunnation of Mr. Secretary Cardwell, a 
 stiitement of the conditions on whicli the Senate are ])rei)ared to accord to Stud- 
 ents of the Royal College in tlie Island of Mauritius tlie power of becoming 
 Candidates for the M idsumnier Matriculation Examination as requested in the 
 letter of Governor Sir Henry Barkly of the 27th April 1864. These conditions 
 are as follows : 
 
 1. That the Examination he conducted like the Provincial Exanunations, 
 under the superintendence of a Res])onsible Sub-examiner, who shall be nominated 
 by the Governor of the colony, and wlio .shall be altogether independent of the 
 authorities of the College. 
 
 2. That the Examination Papers for the Midsummer Matriculation Exami- 
 nation be sent out through the Colonial Office by the mail of tlic 'l\\i\\ May, and 
 that they be addressed to the Governor, who shall be retj^ucstcd to deliver them 
 unopened to the .sub-examinerrs. 
 
 3. That the Examination shall l)e held a.-< soon as convenient after the 
 arrival of the Mail by which tlie pa})ers are transmitted, and that immediately 
 on its conclusion the Sub-Examiners shall place the answers of the Candidates in 
 the custody of the Governor of the Colony to be by him transmitte<l by the next 
 Mail through the Colonial Office to the Registrar of the University. 
 
 4. That the Registrar, on receiving the answers, shall distribute them to the 
 Examiners, who shall make a Supplemental Report thereou, classing the Candid- 
 ates according to the Regulations, in a list by themselves, but indicating, as nearly 
 as may be, the situations -which tliose who may be entitled to places in the Co- 
 lonial Honors Division would have held in the Home Honors Division, if they 
 had been examined in this country. 
 
 6. That candidates examined in Mauritius, be not admitted to competition 
 for the Exhibitions and Prizes (^Hered to candidates examined in this Country ; 
 but that if the Colonial Authorities should think fit to offer Candidates examined 
 in Mauritius, any con-esponding Rewards for proficiency, the Examiners shall 
 include in their Report, any reconnnendatiou wliich they may think then to have 
 merited in regard to such awards. 
 
 The first three of these conditions, are framed with the view of providing 
 adec^uate security, that the examinations at Mauritius shall be conducted in 
 every respect, on the footing of the ex;nninations carried on in this Country, and 
 the last two, with the view of avoiding that interference with the existing 
 Regulations of the University, which would have become necessary, if the 
 Candidates examined at Mauritius, had been admitted to uni'estricted competi-

 allowing Students of the Royal College to enter for the 1st and 
 2nd B. A. Examinations as well as for the Matriculation ICxami-

 2. At the time when this letter was laid before me by 
 the College Committee I had "not yet been informed officially 
 of the decision taken by the University of London relative to 
 the Matriculation Examination, but on the receipt of your 
 despatch No 223, of the 25th of November last, I referred back 
 the subject for the consideration of the Committet^ and it will 
 be seen by an extract of their ininutes of proceedings herewith 
 enclosed that in recording their acknowledgements for the 
 favour granted in respect to the Matriculation Examination 
 they urge me to move for its extension so as to include the 
 other two Examinations for the degree of B. A. I beg there-

 these two Examinations at a com])aratively trifling loss of money and of time, 
 but very diflPerent would the case be with the Mauritius Candidates. 
 
 4. As the two English Scholarshii)s which are competed for in the 2nd 
 class of the College are at piesent the only inducement held out to the Students 
 of the higher classes, the Students generally leave as soon as their chances for 
 that prize are on the wane. 
 
 '). This want of encouragement for the prosecution of Collegiate studies in 
 80 remote a Colony as the Mauritius must be looked upon as the chief obstacle to 
 the progress of knowledge and of education, and it is simply with this view that 
 the expediency of an a])plication to the London University was recommended. 
 
 6. The Matriculation at the London University, can only be of value to the 
 Students of this Colony, as long as it is the key to the subsequent 13. A. Exam- 
 inations, and to the degree of B. A. at that University. 
 
 7. For as the programme of the Matriculation Examination coincides with 
 that of our Srd Class, the lowest in the College ])ro])(n', and as the programme of 
 our 2nd Class, the Class in which the competition for the English Scholai*ship 
 takes ])lace, is eciuivalent to that of the 1st B. A. Examination, any competitor 
 who might have failed in obtaining either of the two first places, would be thus 
 encouraged to persevere at the Royal College, with the view of obtaining the 
 Degree of B. A. by continuing another year in the 1st Class, the programme of 
 which, would be based on that of the second B. A. Examniation ** 
 
 >S. To carry out this im])ortant object, there would be reciuired for the next 
 Midsummer Examination, not only the pa])ers for the Matriculation, but also for 
 the 1st B. A. Examination, and a disjiensation in favor of the Students of the 
 2nd Class, to enable them to pass tlie Matriciilation and 1st B. A. Examination 
 at the san»e period, viz : Midsunnner 1N(i.'). 
 
 J). This would be the only exce])tional favour retpiired for the cstaVdishment 
 of the B. A. Examination at the Mauritius, and as the result of such a connec- 
 tion Avith the University of London, socially and ])olitically, cannot be otherwise, 
 
10 
 
 but most beneficial, I trust tliat the Conuuittee will support this application 
 which Usuccessll would not only procure a test above local doubts, and 
 chan^;Uit which would even supply a powerful encouragement for higher 
 tdfeTby the possible prospect of University distinctions, hitherto beyond the 
 reacli of the majority of iur Students, from the remoteness of our Colony.

 I have submitted for the consideration of the University 
 of London, your despatdi, No. 112, of the 4th ult., requesting 
 that tlie students of the Royal College Mauritius may be j^^^ .,., . 
 allowed to enter for the 1st and 2nd B. A. Examinations, and I ""^ """ '

 Registrar, stating the conditions on which the Senate are pre-

 I liave the honor to inform you that I, yesterday, laid your letter of the 
 14th instant, with its enclosures, before the Senate, and that I am directed to 
 state to you, for the information of Mr. Secretary Curdwell, that the Senate are 
 prepared to enter into arrangements with the authorities of the Royal Colletro, 
 Mauritius, for admitting students of that College to the 1st and 2nd B. A. Exam- 
 inations of this University, under conditions similar to those already laid down 
 with regard to the Matriculation Examination. 
 
 2. I am to point out however, that such arrangements can only liave refer- 
 ence to the Pass Examinations; the separate Honors Examinations which follow 
 these at the B. A. Examinations, being always conducted solely at the University.

 y. Witli reference to the desire exi)res,sed in the letter of the Rector of the 
 Royal College, (par. 8,) thut there should bo held this Midsiunmer, not only a 
 Matriculation, but a first B. A. Examination, to which Candidates should be ad- 
 mitted, who shall have just pissed the Murtriculation Examination, I am to 
 state, that the Senate are not i)rei)are(l to forego in favor of the Students of the 
 Royal College, that part of their regulations which requires an interval of a year 
 to elapse, between these two Examinations^ 
 
 4. I am instructed to inform you fuithor, that, as all the Provincial Exam- 
 inations carried on in connection with the University, are granted on the an- 
 nually renewed application of the Authorities of the Colleges desirmg them, it 
 is the wish of the Senate, that tlie Rector of the Royal College, Mauritius, should 
 confoi-m to the established system, by transmitting to me early in every year, on 
 application for the Examinations which are desired by the Authorities of the 
 Oollefe for that year, with a statement of the probable number of Candidates 
 at each. This application should reach my hands, not later than the 1st March.

 5. The Answers of the Candidates, approved as aforesaid, will be forwarded, through the Co- 
 lonial Oflice, to the Registrar of the L'niversity, who will cause them to be reviewed by the Eram- 
 iuers, and who will draw up the Report of the residts of the Examination ; and the Scholarship shall
