admiration in others. When Kalli first came up the river Thames with
Captain Ommanney, and travelled from Woolwich by the railway, thence
proceeding through the wonderful thoroughfare from London Bridge to
the West End of the town, passing St. Paul's Cathedral, and Charing
Cross, he merely said, _It was all very good_.

"I took him with me," said the Captain, "to the Great Exhibition, the
Crystal Palace, in Hyde Park. He beheld all the treasures around him
with great coolness, and only expressed his wonder at the vast
multitude of people."

Great Exhibition of 1851

This is natural enough. Many of our readers may recall the feelings of
astonishment with which they viewed that large assemblage. On one of
the shilling days, in October, 1851, ninety-two thousand human beings
were collected together in the Crystal Palace at one time[5]. The
force of contrast could perhaps go no further than in this instance.
A young stranger who, in his own country, in a space of hundreds of
miles around him, had only three families (probably twelve persons) to
count, makes one of a multitude of more than ninety thousand of his
fellow-creatures, in a building of glass, covering only eighteen acres
of ground!

[Footnote 5: This was the case on Tuesday, Oct. 7, 1851. The total
number of visitors on that day alone was 109,915.]

He was taken to see the Horse Guards' Stables. On seeing a trooper
mount his charger, (both being fully accoutred,) Kalli was puzzled. He
could not account for the perfect order and discipline of the animal,
and the mutual fitness of the man and his horse, the one for the
other.

St. Augustine's College

In November, 1851, Kallihirua was placed, by direction of the Lords of
the Admiralty, at the suggestion of the Society for the Propagation of
the Gospel, in the Missionary College of St. Augustine's, at
Canterbury. This college, built on the site of the ancient monastery
of St. Augustine, was established in 1848, for the reception of
students intended for the work of the sacred Ministry in the colonies
and dependencies of the British Empire, as well as among the heathen.
The College, to which the Queen gave a charter of incorporation, owes
its origin chiefly to the munificence of A. J. B. Beresford Hope,
Esq., who purchased the ground, and gave the site. The College Chapel
was consecrated on the morning of St. Peter's Day, June 29th, 1848,
when seven prelates, with the Archbis
