The bill for the liquidation of the ecclesiastical property is still under the consideration of the bureaux of the Chamber of Deputies, seven of which have elected members to oppose the bill. FLOKKNCII. Frs. & The second bureau of the Chamber of Deputies has decided against the bill for the liquidation of the ecclesiastical property. There now remains to be known only the decision of the first bureau. The Op; tt ~ of to-day expresses the belief that the got ,:rtinient will come to no fresh determination with regard to the bill until after it has been pub licly discussed. The Num.° Diriteo gives a positive denial to the current rumour of a ministerial crisis. ' Thu .Ne:imic of this evening declares that the report that the ministry proposed to dissolve par liament is totally unfounded. Baron Kubeck, the new Austrian minister to the Italian court, has arrived here. well-being, to exalt the material and moral condition of the workman, to put faith in an enlargement of the do. main of thought—such is the tendency of our age, which may be justly styled that of labour and public right. Prosperity for energetic toilers and peace for all the well disposed—such is our object. The secret of finances, about which so much perplexity is felt, is in itself very simple ; an increase of the general wealth is the basis of every prosperous situation ; sod the lever to lift it up is liberty. MINING DISTURBANCES IN BELGIUM. PARIS, Fes. 3. [TWOPENCE THE NELSON MONUMENT AND SIR E. The A venir National publishes s telegram from blarchiennes, in Belgium, announcing that the disturbances which have broken out there among the millers still continue. Three workmen have been killed in an encounter with the troops, and 15 Belgian soldiers have been wounded. the style, and pertinent as the illustrations must seem to every reader ; still, the printed page forms but an imperfect substitute for the spoken word. It may be said without exag geration that, as regards the prospects of a lasting effect, this address is certain to be remem bered by those who heard it for as many years as its faint outline will last in the memory of its readers. This much cannot be gainsaid : not three-fourths of the attentive audience that listened to every word issuing from the speaker's mouth would have read the same thoughts had they been published in a review. And the wrapt attention of the listeners was the most remarkable incident of the day. The youth and the man seemed to be equally impressed with the necessity of not losing a word which fell from their lord rector's lips. To many of them the philosopher who has won tho admiration of scholars will henceforth be as a teacher on whose happy manners grateful pupil fondly dwell. The seed sown may produce early fruit in the shape of independent and original thought which would doubtless gladden the sower's heart. By the students of St. Andrew's Mr. Mill will be remembered, not as the famed sage who went through the round of formal duties in a perfunctory and indifferent way, but as one who, sparing neither time nor convenience, strove to point out to them, in the most impressive terms, the path which they would 'do well to follow, who brought his intellect to bear on the question of instilling into their minds lessons which few other living men could repeat with such authority or enforce with such power, and who, accepting his office as one requir ing to be filled with conscientiousness instead of formality, aimed at qualifying those of his hearers whose years justified the anticipation to become the noble bearers of the torch of freedom of inquiry to an unborn generation. Thus it was that the address appeared to be delivered and received. There were probably some who looked for occasions of dissatisfaction, who came prepared to be annoyed, and were morti fied on account of their disappointment. It is alleged here that the majority of this place do not hold the liberal creed, and to such persona the presence of a man like Mr. Mill must have been a sore trial. In this, as in so many other things, rumour may be a false guide, yet the thing is by no means improbable. If the detractors and antagonists of Mr. Mill were present when 'he addressed the students, they had the court esy to refrain from any marks of disapproval which were specially noticeable by a stranger. 43 . rt 1% . $ A • • bsa !LA 1 PRUSSIA. BERLIN, FEB. 2. To-day the Chamber of Deputies approved unani mously, and without debate, the treaty for the cession of the Taxis postal administration to Prussia. The Sw-th anima Gatate of this evening de clares, apparently semiofficially, that the aim of Prussian policy is to promote the establiahment of a South German Confederation. The same journal says:—" As regards the efforts of a great portion of the Belgian press to irritate the feelings of the French people against Prussia, by means of systematic falsehood, we must pro test that in so doing the Belgian press is acting in criminal opposition to the international law of Europe."

FREEDOM IN AtBTRIA.—The Austrian govern ment (says a correspondent) have prohibited the sale of, and ordered the police to seize, a new work which has appeared under the titlo of " Twelve Champions of Revo. lutiou," containing the biographies of Robert Blum, Karl Blind, Maszini, Count Cavour, Louis Blanc, and others. Lieutenant Brand, who landed at Southampton on Saturday from Jamaica, is described by a correspondent as " A mile slender young man, apparently about 26 years of age." He was not dressed in uniform. A large American ship called the Fanny Lar rabee, bound from Havre to Cardiff, went *Am at Brook, at the back of the Isle of Wight, on Friday night.

At this side of Ngahaurauga the tire of one of the wheels came off, and the passengers were obliged to walk. Mr. Millward, of the Police-office, passed in a trap and offered to give it up to Sir George Grey, but his Excellency declined the offer and came in on ut." LANDSEER'S LIONS. To see the Nelson monument at last complete after having so long served as • byword for neglect and delay, is a surprise. It is, however, something to congra tulate ourselves upon that the undertaking is actually out of the hands of the artists—architects, sculptors, and the great painter-sculptor who has put the finishing stroke to the work ; for, whether the whole monument commands universal approval or not, all must agree that anything is better than an unfinished monument to one of the greatest of a nation's heroes. Even at this moment, when the public gratification welcomes the representative noble animal so nobly presented, we cannot forget the dreary scenes that for years disfigured the finest site in Europe— Um column that grew so slowly through the soot•grinied scaffolding, and at last stopped for want of sap, a dwarf short of its proper height by forty feet, till in despair the capital was placed upon it, and the statue made its appearance on the top. Compared with that period of crippled growth, the last eight years which Sir Edwin Landseer ban employed in his part of the work have been felt, lot as a neglectful delay, but rather as an impatience under great expectations. Some piquancy was lent to these by the doubt as to what a great painter would be able to do in • line of art so entirely out of his method ; but that there was reason for the faith in a great artist, and that we have not waited in vain, has been witnessed in the crowds of admirers who have surrounded Landseer's lions, looking up at them with wonder and awe, as if every moment they expected the monsters to rise and walk from their pedestals. For our own part, it is this life-like look, more than the size of the work, that gives so fine a character to the figures, and one could scarcely help crying out " Roar, roar !" as Donatello did when he cried " Speak, speak," to his statue. A sculptor never achieves more than when he thus creates out of the clay and animates the dead stone and bronze. Landseer may well rest satisfied with the kind of tribute that has been paid to his work by the voice of the people, and we question whether anything in modern sculpture has produced a deeper conviction of the power of art in the popular mind. C.inova's two colossal lions on the monument to Pope Reazonico, in St. Peter's, are asleep, though undoubtedly the grandest work that the somewhat sickly genius of the sculptor ever led him to attempt. They are, however, considerably smaller than our Landseer's lions. Thorwaldsen's famous lion, carved out of the living rock at Lucerne, is • dying animal, and dying without a spark of courage, which was quite • mistake of the artist's, for as all lion bunters tell us, he is most terrible in his death throes. Landseer has seized the fine point of the animal in expressing his terrible power in repose, or rather in reserve, for he looks far away over the sea, watchful and ready. In repeating this figure as the one best expressive of the intention of the monument, without attempting to vary the artistic effect by choosing different attitudes, Sir Edwin only obeyed a just feeling for the general "keeping" of the monument, which, however Giurere it may be in style as a whole, is certainly classic, and therefore to be treated after that manner. It would be ridiculous to suppose that an artist who could model such a lion as we see could not have made three others of the some blood. Still it remains to be said that Landseer bassepeated'a picturesque and naturalistic lion,where Greek ert,wouhl have required an ideal and conventional form. Dasatello, Gian Bologna, or any of the great roasters of the Renaissance, who, like our Landseer, were great na turalists in their art, would have varied their lions. The fault, if it be one, is not chargeable to Sir Edwin Land• seer, for be could mould no other than a natural lion, and he atay fairly trust to the naturalness of his work for any suggestions of the ideal. The misfortune all along has been in this as in all our national undertakings in art, that the one capable mind was not at hand for the whole work, and thus all unity and completeness of beauty have been missed. As a consequence we have an obvious defect of thislnature, which has been very generally remarked in the disproportion between the colossal lions and the co lumn with its statue, which are made to appear too small and insignificant from loss of height. Confession -I good for the soul; and we can never hope to be absolved from our past sins in art our moaumental sins, unhappily be it said until we promise to amend our ways. We are indebted to Sir Edwin Landseer as much for this example of good art, as for the hope he has aroused in the future, and the inspiration his work must exercise amongst artists. His Nelson lions are an immense improvement upon the Wellington horses, and all that studio stock, and the sculptors ought to be deeply grateful to him for the lesson. For the public, we desire to recognise the earnest and devoted exercise of his genius, in the successful ac complishment eta task which must have taxed his strength and energies to the utmost, and to thank him for hav ing given us at lust one public work of art of which the nation may justly be proud as an honour to English art. 1 THE MEMBERS TOR BRIDGWATER AND TIIEIR CONNTITUENTS.—On Saturday night the members for Bridgwater, Mr. A. W. Kinglake and Mr. P. Vanderbyl, met their constituents at the Town-hall. In reference to reform prospect, in the coming session, Mr. Kinglake said there was no reason why the p::: 6 086 government should not bring in a more liberal measure thin that of the late government which was such a moderate one. If they did not deal with the question the liberal party must act, and a reconstruction of that party would then be necessary. In his opinion that could only be obtained by first attaining to a convergence of opinion. They must not try to have anything perfect, but what the liberal party as • party could support. His advice was of the old.fashioned kind— follow the leader ; he meant the one in the House of Com mons, and they could not have • better than Mr. Glad stone. They must have a measure which, without being democratic in such a sense as to endanger their liberties— for that was what many people thought—should still be en tirely welcome and congenial to the h igh - spirited people of this country. Mr. Vanderbyl was in favour of • mew. , sure of reform that would not reduce the franchise too low, If •. bill was brought in lie would take for his standard salt a one as Mr. Gladstone would promote. and vote accordingly. Thanks were voted to the two user's. ben for their services in parliament and their addresses just delivered. RernEsEsTarioN or COLCHESTER. —Mr. T. .1. i Miller, M.P., has forwarded a letter to Mr. C. H. Hawkins, one of hie principal local supporters, in which he expresses his desire, with the concurrence of his constituents, to accept the Chiltern Hundreds on an early day after the meeting of parliament. The hon. member added that be wished to deny that he bad been urged by some members , of his party to take this course, and to SMUTS his friends that his decision entirely resulted from the state of his bealth,whieh has not improved so much as toenable him to discharge his duty is the House of Commons. Nothing, he ' continued, would distress him more than to know that he had deprived Lord Derby's government of • vote at an : important crisis. Under these eircuinstanoes, Mr. E. K. Kerslake, Q.C., who has been selected as a conservative candidate for the impending vacancy, has commenced canvassing. Dr. Brewer, his liberal opponent, has also been in Colchester during the last few days. REPRESENTATION OF EAST SUrFOLX.--A vacancy has occurred in the representation of East Suffolk, Sir E. C. Kerrison, Bart., having on Saturday issued an address announcing his intention to retire. The hon. baronet states that he feels he has not sufficient strength thoroughly to attend to the requirements of so large a constituency. Sir E. Kerrison continues I have therefore determined to resign my seat before the meeting of parliament, so that no detriment may ensue to you, either is public or in private business from my uncertain health. I cannot write this farewell without very great regret, nor can I conclude it without desiring once more to advert to the gratitude which I owe you for your generous confidence. Though thus unhappily disabled from serving you as one of your representatives in parlta meat, I shall never cease to take the warmest interest in all your local affairs, and in any measure tending to pro mote your prosperity and welfare." Mr. Henry Thurston Holland, of the Northern Circuit, has been appointed legal adviser to the Colonial office. The office, which has been created by the present government, precludes the holder from practising at the bar. The salary is 1,201.11. per annum. uliiriiiiri COLLEGE. A numerously attended and somewhat excited meeting of proprietors was held in the theatre of London University College on Saturday afternoon, to discuss the recent resolution of the Council rejecting the Rev. J. Mar tineau as professor of mental philosophy and logic, although the Senate hail reported that he was the best qualified candidate for the vacant chair. The meeting was held in reply to a requisition presented to the CounciL Amongst those present were the Hou. C. Denman, 11. P., Sir F. H. Ceoldsmid, M.P. ' Mr. S. Sharpe, Mt. K Charles, Mr. Cozens Hardy. Mr. H usk, Mr. W. Fowler, Mr. E. W. Field, and Mr. Cookson, members of the council; Mr. Stansfeld, H.P., Mr. Quoin, Q.C., Mr. Jessel, Q.C., Mr. .1. Heywood, F.R.S., Mr. S. Morley, Mr. Le Neve Foster, Protestors Key, Sherry, Quain, R. Reynolds, and Wil liamson. Dr. F. J. Vi thin, fellow of the college, was una nimously voted to the chair. Mr. RICHARD H. Hume`! moved :—" That in the opinion of this meeting any candidate who is otherwise the most eligible for any chair or other office in this college or the school, ought not to be regarded as in any manner dis qualified for such office because he is also eminent as a minister or preacher of any church or religious sect.' The principals of Cheshunt College and Owen's College, Man chester, and other gentlemen in different parts of the country had written to say they concurred in this. Mr. WALTER Bocenirr seconded the motion. The col lege, he said, was founded upon the broad basis of reli gious equality, and the mous probeedi of the present pro ceedings roast distinctly lay upon those who departed from that principle . On the barest ground , : of expediency a departure from the fundamental principles of the college woo an utter mistake. Mr. ROBERT Hurrog here moved as an amendment, " That this question be not put." Mr. UD.tLL, in seconding it, said the meeting had better look at the question boldly, and face the fact that the resolution meant to affirm that what the council bad done was not for the good of the college. (Hear, hear.) Mr. D. CHBIPITIE, in supporting the motion, said the meeting was placed in a very unfair position by the ab sence of so large a number of the members of the council who were responsible for what had taken place. Professor WALEI considered that interference with the council in the matter of appointment of individual pm reason would be intolerable, and a course to which no high-minded gentknian would submit fora moment. But the embodiment of a general principle in the shape of a resolution with respect to the appointment of professore might safely be affirmed if the bread basis of religious toleration upon which the college was founded was likely to be interfered with, but he was not certain that there had been, in the case of the appointment under considera tion, any interference with that great principle. The re solution before the meeting , might be adopted omitting the wonls " or the school, • and some general tenns might be added, urging that the principles of toleration and reli gious liberty should be always applied in the broadest manner. Mr. It. H. HcrronN said be should have no objection to withdraw the reference to the masters of the school. _ Dlr. 9. 31oxt.tv said the council was composed of he nounible men.

Q.C., said he quite agroed with the requi aitionista in lamenting the decision of the council in their rejection of Mr. Martineau, who possesses] eminent quali fications for the office, and whose position as a Cnitarian minister would have been, had lie been elected, entirely forgotten in the brilliancy of his teaching. While thank ing the requisitionists for calling the meeting, he hoped, for the peace and prosperity of the college, the motion would nut be carried. Indirectly, at teat, it was a cen sure upon the council, and be was not prepared, for the sake of a general proposition, which the council them selves bad negatived by five to four, to encounter ruck a calamitous result as the carrying of the resolution would lead to, in the alienation and resignation of the oldest and best friends of the college. The council would think the proprietors were iuterferirg improperly in their province. While not agreeing that the proprie tors had nu right to interfere, he aid ask the meeting. in the interests of the oulleg- : an d for the sake of peace, not to fetter the council by an abstract reso lution, which meant that when the qualifications of a professor were being considered, they must abaci. lutely and invariably leave out of consideration whether 1 a candi.late was a clergyman or not. In the ease of is man who had spent all his life, not iu the quiet walks of philosophy but in the bitter waters of polemical strife, thin consideration must be entertained. The friends of rniversity College were too few to admit of divisions existing amougst themselves. (Cheers.l Sir F.

After further interruption, Mr. IL 11. Hutton's motion was put to a division, when it was kat by :i7 against 42. This preventing the other resolutions from being sub. milted, a vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the meeting broke up after sitting nearly four hours.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 4, 1867. FRANCE. (PROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING. A symptom almost as significant as the restora tion of the tribune is that the able Courtier Fran- COL*, an opposition weekly paper of a most " ad vanced" colour, which has been warned and pro secuted, and was thought to be within a hair's breadth of suppression, is enabled to announce to day that it has received permission to be sold in the streets. It was one of the refinements of the coup d'aca laws on the press that a newspaper started by permission, lodging caution money, subject like all others to arbitrary warnings, sus pensions, suppressions, and to legal prosecutions, was not, after all, entitled to circulate except among subscribers, and could only be sold in the streets and railway stations by way of privilege, either as a reward for good behaviour or a bribe for moderate opposition. It is tobe presumed that the administration will now divest itself of such sort of patronage, and give all newspapers alike the benefits as well as the severities of common law. The Presse takes this opportunity to renew • complaint against the lifoutteier's exemption from stamp duty, and consequent monopoly of supple mental advertising sheets ; and urges that If on public grounds this monopoly is to be maintained, the Monifoir should at least perform its especial duty of publishing the fullest and earliest official news ; but this it notoriously fails to do. The Council of State is summoned to meet at the Tuileries on February 4, to discuss the army re organisation bill in the Emperor's presence. Meanwhile, Marshal Niel,the new War Minister, has presented to the Council of State a bill, the effect of which will be, among other things, to raise the effective of every French regiment from 1,800 men to 2,400. It now behoves all French patriots to be very careful lest the glare of new liberties granted by decree, and which a decree may revoke. should divert their attention, as they are doubtless intended to do, from the fright ful contemplated impot du saws, which is not neces sary for the defence or dignity of the country, and can only be wanted for purposes of agree sive war. Mr. James Gordon Bennett, of the Henrietta, who was presented to the Emperor at the Tuileries ball on last Wednesday fortnight, had the honour of a private audience of his Majesty yesterday. The Empemr and Empress went to the Vaude ville Theatre last night to witness the 56th per formance of M. Sardou's Maisot Neuve. The Emperor's splendid collection of ancient ar mour has been removed to the Chateau de Pierre fond, where it will be exhibited in a hall of the 16th century, restored by M. Viollet Leduc. The famous state manufactory of porcelain at Sevres is to be henceforth carried on in a new build ing in the park of St. Cloud, which will be inau gurated on March 15. The 31euager du Midi states that snow has again fallen heavily in the south of France, and that the railways are interrupted in many directions. The quantity has been especially great at Mont pellier. In Paris the weather is extremely mild, with drizzling rain and a southerly wind. The Correctional Tribunal yesterday dismissed, with costs, a L ai taut action by a M. Chopelet, accusing the MM. Pereire of practising illegal niameuvres at the Bourse. The hearing of MM. Pereire's cross action against M. Chopelet, for a malicious prosecution, is postponed for a month. The Bourse was firmer. All securities left off at higher quotations.

The subjoined is published by Galignani as a full report of the speech delivered by Mr. Gladstone at the dinner recently given to him by the Sociati &Economic Politique of Paris : When I examine myself I feel some hesitation in believ ing that I have done enough to merit the reception you have given me. I have endeavoured to fulfil my duty towards my country and towards humanity ; bat in the great reforms recently accomplished, the benefit of which the world is beginning to reap, I have only been • sewn. dary instrument —a devoted auxiliary. Ascribe the honour of it to the two men without whom commercial liberty would still for a long time have been consigned to the aspirations of generous spirits, and the theories of science; to the two men who opened a new era for international relations—the Emperor Napoleon and Cobden. The Empe ror, by the elevated grasp of his intellect and the unoon querable energy of his will, found means to overthrow obstacles apparently insurmountable ; he transformed into a splendid reality what might have previously seemed only a dream ; Cobden, whose sagacious genius was united to a great spirit of moderation, also did much ; Cobden, whose pure morals, rectitude of conduct, warmth of heart, and superiority of intelligence have contributed so largely to the good of the human race. I cannot recall to mind without deep emotion that noble existence, that intellect so vigorous and so persevering, to which I am proud of having served as an ally. Ile had already acted a noble part in combating want, in evoking the most efficacious method for raising the level of the gene ral well-being. But Cobden's object was far grander; he aimed at uniting all peoples together by s moral tie— he aspired to give • solid base to the peace of the world. To emancipate states from the heavy charges of war; to obviate as much as possible the sad effusion of human blood when the sacred interests of liberty and independ ence are not at stake ; to show that the greatness of na. tions lies elsewhere than in the enlargement of territory ; to suppress amongst populations the incessant cause of collisions generated by false ideas of wealth and by com. mercial jealousy—such was the work of Cobden. Ile knew well that material progress is worth nothing without moral advancement ; and every day fresh benefits are seen to reconcile with the principles of free trade even its most obstinate adversaries. The history of the past in this matter was saddened by great mistakes and real delinquencies ; England had been the first to commit them, and it was only just that she should be the first to repair them. Do not suppose, however, that this undertaking was exempt amongst us from difficulties, and free from inveterate prejudices. Voices of lamentation are still sometimes heard on the other side of the Channel, pretending that France has gained more than England by the treaty of commem. If such be the fact, far from finding in it a subject of complaint, I congratulate you on the fact with all my touL Some, indeed, may gain less, and others more, but the essential point is that nobody loses. The amount of profit may vary, but it is always mutual. The work is being completed without precipita tion or imprudence. Tho benefits reaped from it are no longer confined to the two neighbouring countries which were the first to set a great example ; the whole world is gathering the fruit. Prohibition and protective duties-- these two idols of the past—are crumbling to pieces on all sides, and unjuAt privilege has received its death-stroke. To abolish prohibitions is good ; to diminish protective rights is better still ; and to suppress them altogether will be to reach the acme of perfection. I have had the happi ness of removing • vast number of duties from the tariff of England, which has beheld those really levied reduced to seven ; out of these there being one which, however trivial it may be, is destined to disappear—l mean the small duty still existing on wheat. The further we advance in this direction the more we gain. In the track of com mercial liberty, as in that of virtue, the commencement is the most difficult and the last efforts arc the most fruitful. Our labours must tend to efface even the last vestige of protective right, and only to preserve taxes of a purely fiscal nature, which, without creating any injurious preferences, may supply • source of profitable revenue. The mission of our epoch is to eman cipate capital and labour from all subjection, by main taining to all the protection of social right, equity, fidelity, and sincerity in transactions. To develop intelligence, to improve produce, to multiply the munes of the genteel [STAMPED, ld. ADDITIONAL.] MR. J. S. MILL, M.P., AT ST. ANDREW'S. (ram( ouit OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ST. ANDREW'S, SArtranAr. The highest expectations which had been formed of the personal effect which would be produced by , the great philosopher whom the students of this university elected as their lord rector have been verified by the result. To those accustomed to demonstrations in favour of public favourites, the i heartiness of the welcome accorded to Mr. Mill by those over whom he now exercises nominal juris : diction was as striking as it must have been gra ! tif)ing to all concerned. It has been laid to Mr. Mill's charge as a reproach that he is a non-aca demic man, and one of the most bitter critics of his last work has thought it a valid objection to his adverse criticisms on Sir William Hamilton's phi losophy that, Ix-cause Mr. Mill owes nothing to the * •ensity training, therefore he is incompe teitt to refute the statements of an influential pro fessor at a notable university. Others, again, have dreaded the presence in a decorous and ancient city like St. Andrew's of one who is suppmed to be a firebrand or a visionary. In short, Mr. Mill has recently been exposed to so many unjust imputa tions at the hands of these who appear to be inca- pable of estimating his character and comprehending his philosophy, that those who are most desirous to be*nupartial have not unnaturally looked forward with impatience, dashed with apprehension to the appearance of the man who has the boldness to proclaim speculativeopinionsand views of human life and of the arrangements of human society which some regard as questionable and others stigmatise as crotchets. It cannot be said that the experience of a few hours has sufficed to extirpate the errors of a lifetime. But it is certain that among those who yesterday listened to the masterly address of Mr. Mill few, perhaps hardly ' one, failed to acquire a vety different im pression of the man than that to which they had been accustomed. When a polished gentleman • like his predecessor tells his hearers pleasant things in a pleasant way every one is gratified. When a man like his contemponoy, Mr. Car lyle, holding a corresponding post, tells the &seem- I bled students in unstudied and natural terms what his views are on the topics which chiefly concern university men, he but reap pears in a part which, with certain important variations, he had filled in his younger days. Again, when Brougham in his prime, and en joying the reputation of the first of contemporary orators, inculcates on his hearers the importance of striving to become great orators, and assures them that in no way Lan they better accomplish their end than by studying the masterpieces of Demosthenes, the lesson is taken as a matter of course, the precepts are accepted with thankfulness but without surprise. In like manner when Macaulay crystallises in an academic address the historical lore which suited the occasion, the plea sure is great, but is not unexpected. Moat of these men, and many others who have filled honorary posts like the one which is now filled by Mr. Mill, had this qualiication for discharging the great duty of delivering an inaugural address, that they had been accustomed to speak to popular assemblies, and were selected, not only because their writings were so well known, but because their rhetorical powers were acknowledged. To this rule Edmund Burke is a striking exception. When he first ap peared before the students at the Univer sity of Glasgow as their lord rector, "he faltered and remained mute," to quote the words of Macaulay, and, to state the case in the words of contemporaries, he returned thanks fluently for five minutes, then becoming confused, stopped short, alleging as an excuse that be had never before addressed so learned an assembly. One of his successors, who, in some nmpects, most nearly approaches Mr. Mill, made no effort to re turn thanks fur the honour he had received ; but the silence of Adam Smith has, fortunately, proved no precedent to Mr. Mill. By the latter has been proved that fitness for discussing in the seclusion of the study the most important problems which can occupy the human intellect may be combined ' with the capacity of rivetting the attention of a mixed and critical assembly to the exposition of doctrines of human culture to which very few could listen with patience for many minutes unless they were adorned and expounded with the choicest language and in the most engaging style. In truth, the spectacle was one which can be seldom witnessed during the longest life of the ' busiest man. The room was the university library : no more appropriate spot could be chosen for the delivery of an accademical address. The major portion of the audience consisted of students clad in their scarlet gowns ; this sight was strange to those who associate the colour with the barrack-yard rather than with the univer sity. Many among them were much more youthful in appearance than men in their position ge nerally are ; some, indeed, being school-boys in : look, if not in fact. Others, again, had the look of years much more advanced than what might be • expected in students still acquiring training at an university, thus illustrating the system which pre vails in Scotland, in accordance with which those who can afford to incur the outlay, no matter how many their years or low their position, flock to the seminaries of learning with a view to acquire the knowledge by which they may rise in the world. All those who form the educated public of St. Andrews were grouped in the seats allotted to the non-members of • the university, while the ladies tilled and diversiqrd the galhilier, ergCr to ace and ready to hear the man who, among his other alleged faults, has been charged with the fantastic crime of regarding women as entitled to exercise poli o tical rights. The purely formal part of the ceremony was very brief. Principal Tulloch began the proceedings with the Latin prayer commonly employed on such occasions. He de parted front the custom of those who think that a prayer may be slurred over, as a charity school boy repeats a few lines by rote, and enunciated the words with a distinctness which made them easily caught by ears unaccustomed to the Scottish method of pronouncing the Latin tongue. The usual oath wits then administered to the Lord Rector, and taken by him without hesitation. All this may be in accordance with ancient custom. • There is a doubt, however, whether or not the powers transmitted from one dignitary to another under the old system have survived the passing of the recent act tinder which this, among other of the Scottish universities, has its lord rector elected by I the vote of the students. It may be as well that the duties now discharged are almost trifling, other wise men of position whose time is fully occupied ; ' in the engrossing pursuits of politics, literature, or science, could not respond to the all made upon I . them, and consent for &stated period to become the recognised heads of an university. In addition to i taking the oath and putting on the handsome gown connected with his office, Mr. Mill accepted the document denoting the honorary degree which had been conferred upon him. To say that his appearance in his new capacity was the signal for loud applause would be to say nothing more than may be expressed about ally one who has done honour to a corporation or learned body by accepting the honorary post which has been conferred, because his acceptance would, in turn, reflect lustre on the fountain of honour. Another feeling than that of simple, yet real grati fication seemed to animate the assembly. The boy-student and the venerable professor appeared m eg aj ual or l ity d w ea o i 7ild us sa t y o ha t t he th e e niGgi cho n i m ee a of the had been passed upon him by impartial critics, and refute the insinuated disparagement of Philistinism t i o ea j ni usti l ;y .
