In embarking upon this responsible under , taking, they feel that their surest expectation of success rests on thlir henceforth rendering the REFRESFIMENT DEPARTMENT a splendid and distinctive feature in , he general attractions. Their first act, which has the sanction of the directors, will he to throw Open a ' mike of magnUlc nt saloons in those localities of the Palace commanding the best views of the erounds, the fountains, and the exquisite scenery of the surrounding country. It is cOntld ntly hoped that every class of the community visiting the Palace will fiiid both their tastes and their purses consulted in the refreshment arrangements ; for while the cuisine wi'l contain everything that is recherche in the . best English clubs, ample accommodation will be afforded to that large class who may ' 61 . , aft44lr-• e - Olinaty, etwitost,tha seas time seek. , corn o t. It will be the aktr of the new prUprietors Id' dye the public as many facilities for enforng the pleasures of the table as th,y could expect at the best houses of entertainment, either at the West End or in the City. It is hoped that by a system of manage ment at once liberal and economic, the 11,1ders of season tickets and families will be induced to avail themselves of the opportunities about to be afforded of dining well and chez ply. The arrangements for the general public must n,•cessarily be of a very comprehensive character, and while the proprietors undertake to satisfy the most relined tastes, they will not neglect the more simple ones. By a judicious blending of the English with the forel,n forms of the culi nary art they hope to make the der artment worthy of that world- Wide patronage which Is bestowed on the Palace itsel . A novel feature will consist in the construction of a suite of smoking rooms, which will be of easy access from the refreshment saloons. The refreshments are now supplied by the new proprietors, hut imme diate notice will be given of the completion of the larger arrange inents.

Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the hanith, happiness, and privileges to w hich every human being i s e tied. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of persanalmanagement which cannot be violated with o incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and' regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all, that thereis scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

Earl Stanhope, as Lord Rector of Marischal College and University, took place within the College Hall, on Thursday, in presence of a very large assemblage, including a considerable number of ladies. The Lord Provost and magistrates preceded the Lord Rector and senatus into -the hall. His lordship was received with loud cheers. The Very Rev. Principal Dewar engaged in prayer, after which Dr. Cruickshank, secretary of the univer sity, administered the oath of office. The noble LORD RECTOR then spoke as follows, his address . being extemporaneous throughout :—Gentle men, in appearing before you this day, and in offering you my cordial thanks for the high honour you have con• ferred upon me, I cannot but feel how much that honour is enhanced by the entire absence, on my part, of any local cennection with the county or city of Aber deen. (Applause.) I have, indeed, some Scottish ties —I may boast of some Scottish blood in my veins but as all my Sottish ties are south of Forth, and as an ancient proverb declares that " Forth bridles the High lander," so it must also litait the local connections of the men of Aberdeen. (Cheers.) Since, therefore, the honour I have received is enhanced by the want of local connection, it should also receive from me, a more earnest expression of thanks. (Applause.) But, having said this much, I feel that I shall best show my sense of the favour you have bestowed upon me by passing at once from all topics personal to myself, and addressing my self rather to those questions upon which my age and experience of life, as well as the dignity amongst you to which you have raised me, entitle me to address you in words of counsel and guidance. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, £4, 4 52,550 Net Decrease. I say, then, that it behoves all those whose education is in progress to consider with themselves carefully what is really the aim and object of that education. Do not suppose that it is merely the acquisitiog of knowledge. Knowledge is, indeed, important--nay, indispensable I think it may be said, with regard to mathematic*, and the progress thus made in teaching the sequence of ideas, that Locke has scarcely exaggerated, when he says that he should deem the studying of mathematics an advantage on the hard, or, if you will, impossiLla condition, that at the close of his studies, the student should forget all the facts he had learnt, because the habits of patient thought and investigation acquired would be worth all the labour they had cost him. (Cheers.) You may also observe how clearly the want of order and combination is shown in tlie history of a nation with which we have been lately engaged in some not vd, friendly transactions—l mean the Chinese. Some of the rudiments of knowledge were known to the Chinese at a period when our ancestors were mere un taught and wandering savages. At a very early period printing and type-founding and the rudiments of several other important arts and branches of knowledge were known to the Chinese, but, as they never applied them selves to connect one fact to anothr, and try to see where they would lead, they remained mere barren branches of speculation—they were not in fact reduced to practice ; and thus you see the Chinese have continued, notwithstanding these early rndimente of knowledge, liable to be bearded by any handful of Europeans that may land upon their shores. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, there is one other consideration which I feel very anxious to impress upon you. It is usual sometimes, especially among the young, to conceive that success in life—that eminence, either in literature or some profession, may be gained by a sudden bound—that genius in foot may supply the place of study. Now, gentlemen, so far as my experience of life has gone, I should say, on the con trary, that study is the condition of success. (Cheers.) Depend upon it there is the greatest truth in these words of the Latin poet— —but we must remember that, in many cases, the acquisition of knowledge ie to be regarded as the means rather than as a final end. The object should be to make the mind strong rather than full—to make the mind an icstrumet.t of power to work with in after years—not a mere receptacle for facts, like some vessel into which water may be poured. It is important that yon should not merely master the acquisition of facts, but learn how to apply them. I would invite you to con- eider how strong onth is point are the expressions of no lees an authority than Milton. Milton says—" Language is but the instrument convoying to us things useful to be known. And though a linguist should pride himself to have all the tongues that Babel cleft the world into, yet, if he have not studied the solid things in them, as well as the words and lexicons, he were nothing so much to be esteemed a learned man as any yeoman or trades man competently wise in his mother dialect only: , (Applause.) Now, observe from whom these words pro ceed —not from any man imperfectly acquainted with ancient and modern languages, and who might therefore have an interest in undervaluing these studies ; but from one whose accomplishments in Italian, for instance, are well known ; who knew Latin as well as he did English, and who acted as Latin Secretary to the Lord Protector, Cromwell. Any advice from such a quarter as to the true end of the acquisition of facts must be held to come with peculiar weight and force. If, then, lam asked in what way, after acquiring words and the study of languages—after acquiring facts for the study of his tory and science—how these aro to be turned to the best account, I should say it is by order and combination. Two facts taken separately may be of little value—com bine them, and some discovery of importance may be the result. So long as facts remain unapplied ;so long as you make no observation of the connection between them, or the progress from one to another, you cannot expect the benefit to which I have adverted. I should Nil nisi caagno Vita labors dedit mortalibus." (Applause.) The more closely you look at this ques tion, the more you find that the exceptions to this rule are very few, and the closer they are examined the fewer they become. I think you will End that in almost all pursuits it is study—it is patient labour — which alone enables the man who will take these pains to achieve that brilliant success which some of you may look upon as the mere proof of unpreme ditated genius. (Cheers.) Wnat is ceded the inspira tion of poets is very often, I believe, nothing more than an assidious practice of the rules of poetry. Now I should like to point this out in a little more detail. None of you would deny that study is essential in the case of great philosophers—of men of science—that study was all in all to Sir Isaac Newton when he discovered those laws by which the universe is moved ; none of you will deny that study was all in all to your own Adam Smith when he not only founded but brought to perfection a new science—that of political economy. (Cheers.) But even in the case of poets, and of writers of works of fiction you would find on inquiry that their genius is by no means of that unpremeditated kind which is independent of study. You might at first sight suppose that Rousseau was indebted to genius for those bursts of eloquence that characterised his writings, and that these were not the result of study and of care, but in the account which he has given us of his own mental condition he disclaims this. On the contrary, he states his composition cost him the greatest care and labour—that his manuscripts were written over and over again, and that some sentences he turned over in his mind night after night before he brought them to the perfection he desired. I can give you another instance of a man whom many supposed to have been a careless man of genius, but who, in reality, was by no means independent of careful study—l allude to one who was in his early years connected with this town, and whose early dwelling was pointed out to me as I walked just now to this college—l mean Lord Byron. (Cheers.) Now it so happens that within the last foi tnight, I think, there has been published a book by an associate and friend of Lord Byron—Mr. Trelawney, who glees, among other things, an account of his mode of composi tion, showing with how much care and labour it was at• tended. The work, which has come out within the period I have mentioned relates that, on one occasion, as Lord Byron, accompanied by Mr. Trelawney, was sailing past the shores of Italy, on his way to Greece, he expressed some sentiments regarding the conduct of affairs in Italy, and the state of parties at Rome, which Mr. Trelawney was eager to see transfeired to the glowing lines Byron knew so well how to produce. He entreated him to turn them into poetry. Byron sat down, and Mr. Tre lawney left him for one or two hours busily employed on the deck, but the verse did not come at the bidding of the bard. He (Byron) did not, however, give up the task, and sat pondering over the paper for nearly an hour ; then, gnashing his teeth, he tore up what he had wiitten, and threw the fragments overboard ; and he said —" To extemporise verses is nonsense. Poetry is a distinct faculty ; it will not come when called—you might as well whistle for a wind. I must chew the cud before I can write." And he added that he had revolved some of his compositions for whole years in his heart before he had attempted to write them down. Perhaps there may be some exaggeration in this last statement, but there can be no doubt that Lord Byron did devote most serious study to his powers of composition. Why do I give you instances ! Because as to men of science, statesmen, and philosophers, you would not doubt that study—patient study—was essential ; but you might be disposed to dispute what I have said with regard to men who, in their lifetime, passed as mere sons of extempo raneous genius. The instances I have given you from the lives of Rousseau and Byron prove the assertion even in this limited sense untrue. The mastery of style is only to be acquired by patient study, which once again I venture to recommend to you as the right and sole condition of success. (Applause.) I know not, however, gentlemen, why I should have enlarge speci ally on this theme, for I believe that in no country is perseverance in study less wanting or less necessary to be enforced than in Scotland. Of this I can assure you we are well aware in England ; and I may as proof read to you a few words from a publication, which has appeared within the last few days, containing a report of the annual meeting of the Institute of Liverpool. I was reading the report of this institute for another object, and I find that one of the speeches bears a feeling tribute to the industry of this part of the island. Mr. Richard Johnson, one of the principal men in the place, says he had given some facts which be hoped would stimulate the youth around them to pre 6 o ; onward, and strive for academical honours. A fril l ' ,--- wish to give you an instance to make my meaning clearer, and I find this in a popular work of only the last age. 'Miss Edgeworth, in one of those admirable tales which have made, in oar youthful days especially, her name as a houo3hold word to us, hay portrayed a young lady—Miss Isabella Harcourt—whose main em ployment under an ill-regulated education was to learn dates by heart, whose great pride was to Bee from time to time some visitor bow t, her and declare he would give the world for such a memory ! ThuP, on one occasion she was parrot-like reciting that the first printing-press was established in Westminster Abbey in 1494, and the first white paper made in Eugland in 1587. "It is will worth remarking," said a truly accomplished lady who was present, " that literature in England must have at that time made but a very slow progress, one hundred years had elapsed between the establishment of your printing press and the making of your white paper." " That never struck me before," the younger lady re then, i s a f a m i liar instance, yet I plied ; "I only lear nt these things by hear t t o re p eat in work of more elaborate preten hfraTovmehedraenerYived a c l earer and more striking c isci o no n on v ws e r ln s oacttoi re conversation." n lod . w " one to show the difference between mere facts and the use that may be made of them, or, in other words, be tween the faculties of memory and reason. The know is indispensable as a allow them to remain dfuledgeoornmd foundation, n o t of ti inwiybr your ut s r you u d u daffsraeit not minds —they 3 t y h t e o n , must be applied and com bined ; and thus the intelligent mind is able, as it were, to draw them into life. (applause.) Aln this way only you will make your first study of words and of facts con ducive to the improvement and maturity of your minds. (Applause.) I cannot but think, gentlemen, that one branch of study illustrates that progress in a remarkable manner. Look to mathematics--(cheers)—look to that branch especially comprised under the term geometry. See from bow few points it proceeds —a few definitions —a few axioms are all it has to build upon, yet by applying one fact to another, while constantly building find at length all the not merely as they are p o r n opti t e h r e e f s or o m f e fi r gu fo r u e n s d a a n t d io b n o , d y i o es u , in fact, but as reason is able to discover and evolve them. And thus it is that from these few simple points—these few definitions and axioms—that you arrive at length at such admirable samples of mental argument as you find in the 47th proposition in the first book of Euclid, or the eighth proposition in the third book. (Applause.) You can need no stronger proof, I think, of the advantages of not merely acquiring words and facts, but of applying them g what consequence follows. to each other, and seeio THE REVENUE FOR THE YEAR AND QUARTER ENDING MARCH 31, 1858.

(Applause.) Now, gentlemen, how highly are these shepherd lads t• be admired I (Cheers.) And how does it bring shame to many in England, and to some, I have, no doubt, in Scotland, who with every facility brought home to them, neglect or undervalue thee opportunities, which others having to toil with their hands are so nobly striving after. (Cheers.) I think, gentlemen, you will be convinced, from these few words I have ventured to quote, that these efforts, so much to be admired, are not forgotten or undervalued in the southern portion of this island. Gentlemen, I have not yet done with this point, ('f the importance of study in all the walks of life, for that, in reality, is the keystone of success. Now there is one scene of success to which you may think my re marks will not apply. I mean speeches, such as you hear in public assemblies—in the Houses of Lords and Commons, for example, where you find an exterapora ' neons and immediate reply, delivered with great force and effect, to some speech which has only just been ut , ered. You will find, it you consider this more closely that the power of making such quick replies is only to be gained by great study and by slow degrees. (Ap , plan,e.) And I will give you on this :object the opinion of one of the most judicious, perhaps the most judicious writer who ever wrote upon the subject, I will give you a sentence from the great work of Quintilian. Does Quiuttlian think that the mere extemporaneous faculty, or power of sp-aking, is derived from genius alone ? He says, " Sine hac quidem conscientia (multum inre scribendo laborem insumpsisse) ilia ipsa ex tempore dicendi facultus inanem modo loquacitatem dabit et verba in labris nascentia." Observe that happy expres sion—" verba in labris nascentia." Now I ask you, may not these words remind you of that sort of rant which we sometimes hear on some hustings; are they not wholly distinct from that measured, well-considered wis dom which we find to proceed from the leaders of oppo site parties in the house? Does it not show in the clearest manner, in the language of Quintiliaa, that study makes the difference between the mere flow of words and the real power of addressing argument, and wit, and elo quence, in immediate reply ! (Applause.) To make this still clearer to you, I would venture to illustrate this by a story derived from a different career of success. It is related in Italy of a great painter, that, having produced a most powerful, though perhaps, unfinished, picture, iu three days, he asked as its price a hundred sequins. It is said that the churlish patron demurred at the price, saying that the sum seemed to him excessive for the work of three days. " But waatl" cried the artist, " Do you forget that I have been 30 years in learning how to make this picture in three days." (Cheers.) When, therefore, you see an immediate reply proceed from some of the great leaders of public opinion do not deceive yourselves by the idea that this was a mere burst of ex temporaneous genius, bat be assured that there has been study, persevering study, to give the power and felicity of this outburst, which seemed to spring up at the mo ment. (Cheers.) I feel tempted at this place to state to you, from the highest authority, some of the means by Which that important gift of readiness of speech can be most easily and completely acquired, And you will ob serve that the power of extemporaneous speaking is not confined merely, so far as utility goes, to men engaged i❑ public life, but may in many circumstances in private life be found of great service. Perhaps you may like to hear some practical advice which came from a man of the highest reputation in this respect. No man bad that gift of using in publio speaking the right word in the right place—no man carried that gift to a higher dogree of perfection, as all parties have owned, than Mr. Pitt. Now, my father had the honour to be connected in re• lationship with that great man—(applause)---and, as such, he had the privilege of being in the house with him sometimes for many weeks together. Presuming that familiar intercourse, he told me he ventured on one occasion to ask Mr. Pitt by what means—by what course of study—he had acquired that admirable readiness of speech —that aptness of finding the right word. Mr. Pitt replied that whatever readiness he might be thought to possess in that respect he be lieved he derived much from a practice his father, the great Lord Chatham, had enjoined on him. Lord Cha tham had bid him take up any book in some foreign lan guage with which he was well acquainted—in Latin, Greek, or French, for example. Lord Chatham then enjoined him to read out of this work a passage in Eng lish, stopping where he was not sure of the word until the riot one came, and then proceed. Mr. Pitt states that he had assiduously followed this practice. At first he had often to stop f..r a while before he could find the proper word, but he found the difficulties gradually disappear, until what was a toil to him at first became an easy and familiar task. (Cheers.) Of course, Ido not mean to say, that with men in general the same sue ce-s as in the case of Mr. Pitt, or anything like it. would be found to follow this same course of practice ; although I am able to assure you, from other cases I have known, that a course of study of this kind is of great use in re moving the difficulties of extemporaneous speaking ; and it not only gives its aid in public speaking, but also in written composition. Moreover, you will find this course has the advantage of confirming and extending your knowledge of some valuable author, who had al ready been made the subject of study ; and on these grounds it is by no means unworthy of your thoughtful attention. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have hitherto spoken of study as the condition of success in active life, but I should do great injustice to study and to those lldterriao7 attainments which are the result of study, if r s i d d i e con point out other objects to which they maY ducive.

Sill, while belling fast by this, by far the most important aid in sorrow, do not, at the same time, in a lower sphere, despise that aid which study and literature can supply. (Applause.) What I have said of sorrow may also be applied with equal truth to periods of sickness. The differecca in this case may be observed in all ranks and conditions of so clay. We often see a labourer barred by sickness from his usual labour. How great the difference between man and man here ! The illiterate labourer will turn aside if you offer him a book, and will tell you he is no scholar ; and he will sit day by day, till his strength re turn, gazing listlessly into the fire, or wondering at the state of the weather outside his cottage ; while the intelligent mechanic or labourer to whom you may have the pl-asure of lending some agreeabho book will End in it a source of consolation, and it will wile away the time till health and strength are restored. And in those of higher education, how often do we find their sentiments expressed in vivid terms of the inestimable advantage thus supplied by subjects of study when heilth admits, and by lighter literature when the mind is incapacitated for that. I feel tempted on this subject to read some sentences to you from an American author of the highest genius—Washington Irving—(cheers) —who says this in praise of one of whom you are justly iiroud in Scotland, I mean Sir Walter Scott. (Cheers.) See how Washington Irving sums up his visit to Abbotsford :—"For my own part, in periods of dej,ction, when everything round me was joyless, I have hailed the announcement of a new work row his pen as an earnest of certain pleasure in store for me, and have looked forward to it as a traveller on a waste looks to a green spot at a distance, where he feels assured of solace and refreshment. When I consider how much he has thus contributed to the better hours of my past existence, and how independent his works mill aiake me, at times, of all the world for my evjoy meet, I bless my stars that cast my lot in his days, to be thus cheesed and gladdened by the outpourings of his genius." (Applause.) That, gentlemen, is a tribute that any American may be proud to offer, and that any Seen:Anan, may be proud to hear. (Cheers.) Gentle men in the scenes of active life tlat are opening before you, the choice of study is, in a great measure, indicated by the nature of the profession you may choose. It is clear you need no admonition to show that your first ef forts must be directed to those studies upon which your professional skill and success depend. That, of course, must be your first aim, but I think that you will find it no unprofitable counsel if I advise you, so far as leisure admits, to take some subject of study subordinate to your professional studies—some other subject to which taste may incline you, and to devote to the acquisition of information on that favourite subject whatever hours of isuscro you can command. I am inclined to think that you will find this in the long run more interesting than general reading—that is reading which passes in succession from one subject to anether. Those who pur- sue such a course will be apt to find themselves "In wandering msz , :'s lost." I am inclined to think you will find more real pleasure and improvement if—subordinate to your professional studies, as I said before—you select some point of fur ther study to which your fancy leads, and then read upon that subject, so that everything that comes forth upon it will be an addition to your own knowledge, and you will know precisely how much is known upon it, and how much remains unknown. (Cheers.) I am inclined to think by a more vagi ant style of reading—if I may so call it — reading so many subjects you will feet interest in none. By concentrating your attention upon one, you will se• cure by that greater interest and pleasure to your future than you can attain by any other means. (Cheers.) In fact, gentlemen, when we look around us, and see the multiplicity of subjects to which attention may be drawn, you will feel that even, as I have now put the question, the choice before you is vast indeed. See how the field of human knowledge is extended. Within the last 50 years there is scarce s branch of knowledge, even is those which have been explored for hundreds of years— classical learning, for example—which has not received some new and important additions. But not only this : e may be said that new sciences have been discovered. Who, 70 or 80 years ago, thought or heard of the name of Geology I or of men like Cuvier, who by their genius have brought back to us the forms of long extinct aei.• male, and the state of the earth as it might have existed thousands of years ego. (Cheers.) Who could have imagined that in art such vast resources should have been opened up to us, as, for instance, the now familiar science of photography supplies ! Who would have imagined that railways, which have enabled us at so quick a rate to have communication with all parts of the. country, would become a study of well-regulated curio sity, or that the instantaneous power of transmission which we possess in the electric telegraph should be im parted to the whole of the people who now crowd those busy shores ? (Applause.) Therefore, gentlemen, you have reason to congratulate yourselves upon the advance of human knowledge in the present age. Yet let me advise you not to look back to the age which preceded this with feelings of scorn. That age contained men who—though many of their opinions were erroneous, had that zeal and energy, and that faith in their own opinions which entitle them to your lasting respect. When, therefore, you think in your own day of the eminent philosophers who have done so much to raise the scientific character, and extend the scien tific powers of England and Scotland, remember that in the last age—much as we may differ from their erroneous opinions, we are not to speak without respect of the gallantry and devotion which glowed in the heartsof a Glengarry and a Lochiel. (Loud applause.) Depend upon it, many of your own country men in the last century deserve respect for their ardour and perseverance in carrying out these opinions, even though erroneous—in suffering exile, imprisonment, and death, rather than relinquish them. And, in saying this, I cannot but remember that the name of the col lege in which I have the honour to address you suggests that of the last Earl Marshal. (Applause.) That ac complished man—the kinsman of your founder—rather than renounce his opinions, or be unfaithful to them, endured 40 years exile, and the confiscation of his pro perty ; cheer,d at last by the friendship of the King of Prussia, and with the returning respect of his country men at a later time (Applause.) Therefore, in admit- Cog hew much scientific progress has been made, I yet warn you against uudervaluiug that spirit of your coun trymen which, though it flowed in a wrong direction, was yet directed to a high, and noble, and chivalrous object, such as Scotchaaen, though they may differ from it, must acknowledge to be worthy of esteem and vene ration. (Applause.) And I have often thought that, in referring to those times, it is not merely the great chief tain that deserves especial recollection ; but that a greater 'need of pity still is due to those followers who found no favour and no patrimony abroad to cheer them, but only an unfriendly exile. In the words of one of them— " Now all is done that man could do, And all is done in vain." With that melancholy feeling many of them left these shores. How happy are we in these days when no such causes of difference exist—when all join in one cordial feeling of respect, reverence, and allegiance towards the il:ustrious lady who now fills the throne of these rea o lu i i n s g . (Loud cheer,,) ,Gentlemen, you are now, or soon,egt: . ng forth into active life. There is always se h thoughtful—something that disposes to bearneststeen those reflec tion—in the communion cf mind, and one who h who as a a lr r e e a e d n y ter p i It is natural say sadly—than at shall be looked at natural at my age that many t a n s g sed th i e ts ve m rg e e rid o i f tahn m i n a gp a n s : h ira c o o o e. c 7 - 0 estimating your future pro yours. Yet I confess that, ri l view them as hopefully and as spec;s, I am disposed more seriously—l might almost to o ewhen I see around me so many confidently as you can s t a lwart frames an d ardent spirits —so ma n y young men trained with som oth care for the commonweal—for the service in after years of thei r S overe i gn and country. may, in these future endeavours, all success attend you I May the name of Scotchmen, in your keeping, continue to be held in high honour amidst all the nations of the world, as up to this time it has been ! And if, in the days of your matured success, your thoughts ever wander back to this day, and to him who, through your favour, fills the principal place in it, think of him—by that time perhaps passed away from this mortal scene—as of one who, while he lived, never ceased to entertain a warm sense of your kindness, and a lively interest in your prosperity and welfare ! (Loud applause.) Principal DEWAR having pronounced the benediction, the assembly gradually dispersed. In the afternoon the studenls entertained Lord Stan hope at a banquet in the County-room, which was largely attended. On Friday his lordship was presented with the freedom of the city.
