PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD• warn you against over-hasty interferences, against generalisations founded on insufficient induction— against the excessive reaction in sentiment and opinion, to which contrasts so startling, and moral and social paradoxes so unexpected as those to which I have been referring, are not unlikely to lead. It may be well—it is well—that by the events that arc passing around us we should be reminded of the fact that there are springs of human action which lie beyond the reach of mere ealcula-_ tions of utility and profit, and that we may not expect to penetrate all the mysteries of God's providence by the aid of a philosophy which looks only to secondary causes, and takes no cogni sance of a First. (Cheers.) But we shall err, if, in our impatience and precipitancy, we lose confidence in the tee-c principles of social and economical science, or blind ourselves to the manifest tendency —a tendency constantly operating, though subject to occasional checks and hindrances—the manifest tendency of such discoveries as those fo which Adam Smith, and Black, and Watt, contributed — to promote happiness and goodwill among men. (Cheers.) An eloquent writer has said that human intelligence is always advancing, but advancing in a spiral line ; and this observation, as it appears to me, is still more emphatically true of social pro gress. Bear in mind that the power of discriminat ing between the accidental and the necessary, be tween the occasional and the constant, the 'tempo rary and the permanent, the exception and the rule, is the quality which ought especially to dis tinguish the educated man. If you would be enti tied to the reputation of honesty, it is not enough that you should be able to show that you are not consciously deceivers of your fellow-men. You must also have it in your power to prove that you have omitted no precaution which untiring vigi lance and constant exercise of self-control could supply to prevent you from being self-deceived. John Stuart Mill, in his last work, argues in favour of entire freedom of thought and discussion, on the ground that even if the opinion which is opposed to the received opinion, and which, therefore, there may be soma desire or disposition to suppress— does not contain the whole truth, or ever a portion of the truth, yet, nevertheless, its ventilation is ex pedient, as a means of preventing the truth to which it is opposed from crystallising into a preju dice, or evaporating into an empty formula. Of such paramount importance, then, in the judgment cf this great thinker, is vigilance in the cause of truth, that he seems to hold the somewhat para doxical opinion that the citadel of truth is never so secure as when the enemy is actually at the gate. It is recorded of Watt that in looking over the spe cifications of inventions for which patent rights were obtained, but which .proved, nevertheless, when brought to the test of practice and trial, to be insufficient or worthless, he found many which were but the embodiment of ideas that had suggested themselves to his own mind, but which, when he had subjected them to that process of ri gorous scrutiny and examination through which he required the products of his brain to pass, he had found to be insufficient, and consequently had re jected. It appears to me that this anecdote conveys a truth we would do Well to lay . to heart. It illus trates in a striking manner the intimate connexion subsisting between moral self-control and intellec tual superiority. If we would be true to ourselves and to others, we must use the same severity which Watt employed in testing the claims to acceptance of our favourite speculations, not in physics only, but in :ethics, politics, and social science, and all other departments of human thought. (Applause.) But to pass from these reflections, which are sug gested by a general consideration of the signs and circumstances of the present time, permit me to ob serve that this time is also a time of special interest to all of us who are connected with the Scottish universities, because we are now about to apply, and dtvelope in practice, those changes in their constitution which recent legislation has introduced. (Applause.) Perhaps I may be permitted to watch the operation of those changes with even more than ordinary solicitude, because at a very early period, and before it became general, I was associated with those who took a lead in the movement in favour of university reform. (Cheers.) I joined in this move ment under the conviction that, in the working of our university system, there were points—some of importance, and some of detail—which cilled ur gently for amendment, and that the best interests of all classes in our population required that tliele amendments should be effected without delay -that, looking to the progress which education in the highest departments was making in England and elsewhere, our Scottish universities could not remain stationary without forfeiting the honourable position at one time assigned to them. But I felt then—as indeed—if I may be permitted to refer to a circumstance so trifling—l stated publicly in this city at the time, that this work of amendment was one which ought to be undertaken in a reve rential spirit ; that our universities had a dis tinctive character of their own, which it would he worse than folly to sacrifice in the pursuit of an ideal derived from other bodies. (Cheers.) After some remarks on this point, and upon the import ance and necessity of diligent study, the noble earl proceeded. It is impossible to address you from this place—from this great centre of commercial activity—without being reminded of the fact that these ilritish isles aril the heart of an empire some fifty times more extensive than themselves—(ap plause)—and without being tempted to ask—What new lines of duty, what opportunities of usefulness, what avenues of distinction are opened up to the educated youth of this country by this vast exten sion of dominion ? (Applause.) To some of you— to many of you, perhaps—this inquiry, on such an occasion as the present, may seem to be irrelevant • and superfluous. 'Your native land is the field upon which, as you fondly anticipate, your energies will be employed, and where. you will reap the fruit of, your exertions. You l o ok forward to laborious' days, but to laborious days spent wit hin the reach of the influences of our refined and highly civilised society, in the fellowship of those with whom you arc even now, on friendly rivalry or heartiest sym pathy, associated in the acquisition of academical distinction. It was so with myself at that period of my life when I was engaged in the same plea surable and elevating pursuits in which you are now occupied, and when I indulged the hope with which many of your bosoms are now heaving. But such expectations may be disappointed. It may be the, lot of some 'of you to lead a pilgrim's life, a life Ofexile in distant parts of the empire. More of you, therefore, than you are now aware of may perhaps be interested in the ,inquiry which I have now made. (Applause.) Now, gentlemen, in endea vouring to answer that question, not sufficiently and fully, but to answer it as satisfactorily as I can in the brief space' which is still at my disposal, I do not intend to insist particularly upon the oppor tunities which are afforded to the class of persons to which I am referring, by the liberal principles which have been of late adopted in the distribution of the patronage of the crown. (Applause.) Still less, although I have been two years in China, and ought to know something about it—(cheers) —still less do I intend now to discuss the merits or defects —the advantages or the disadvantages—of compe tition as a means of admission to the public service. Whether or not the able men who are engaged in perfecting and developing that system will succeed devising a scheme of examination which sha ll prove an adequate test of the relative fitness of can didates for situations and for a career that leads to situations of responsibility and trust, and to posi tions where administrative capacity is the first and most important requisite—whether they will suc ceed or not in that object experience alone will tell ; but two things are, I think, alreadyeertain ; in the first place, that the adoption of th e s y stem is in itself a satisfactory proof of the disinterestedness • and public spirit of t he statesmen o t f h o l i t ir it d day ( t a x ; plausc) ; and in the second place, ( to mboakunedtehne edutyeeessoafryouprrecvdisuicetititsnteti institutionsenable etheyouth of this country to obtain their full share in these Advantages. (Applause.) Nor do I intend to make more than a passing reference to such openings as those which have been provided by the labours and the zeal, and the indomitable patience and perseve rance, and Christian devotedness of our great hero and apostle, Dr. Livingstone. (Applause.) The ap peal which he has made, and which is so modestly and so touchingly conveyed in that passage from the ' preface to his narrative, where he says, "This book \vitt speak less of what has been done than of what remains to do, before. it can be said that the Gos pel has been preached to all nations"—Shat appeal has already been nobly responded to by Oxford awl Cambridge ; and I doubt not that among the youth educated at our Scottish universities there will be fouud to be many who are willing and desirous to follow that example. (Applause.) What 1 wish more particularly to impress upon you at the pre sent moment is the fact that, independently of op portunities which may seem to be to a certain ex ' tent adventitious and exceptional, the vast depend encies of this empire in the course of their natural growth and development affiard a constantly widen ing and expanding and increasing outlet, in which the educated intelligence of this country may find scope and , room and verge for profitable exercise. I venture to affirm, as the result of NEWSPAPEIt ( 4, w Wit' * - - own ol )servation and experrati: 'et ,• proposition holds true both of those 40017-4,: . ;',1 which are i n the exclusive occUpatisll - o T oes race, and alto of those other dependencigin Bch a British a ainority farms a nucleus and centre around whic. l L are grouped the masses of an indige nous and scm i-barbarous population. What do we witness' in tht' former of these cases ? A material progress, surp.7ssing all precedent and example, the result of the application of the resources of a vigorous nature, and the application of the power which , mechanism and chemistry, and the know ledge derived from geology and natural history, has yielded to modern science. As a consequence, it may be both natural and praiseworthy to mount with equal rapidity the steps of the ladder of social progress and refinement, and to repro,- duce with such fidelity as circumstances will pea-- mit, in regions but lately redeemed from the wilderness, the institution of the colonists' early home. In the conflicts- of wits and intelligences to which such a combination necessarily gives rise, Who can doubt the advantage which must accrue to the competitor who enters the lists with his understanding fortified, his judgment matured, and his memory stored with the treasures sup plied by the education which you receive in this place ? (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, you must low me also to say that, in my opinion, oppor tunities of civilisation, hardly less attractive, in volving the obligations of duty perhaps even more imperatively, are furnished by the relation in which, I must renture to say, we arc providen tially placed to that class of dependencies which I have named in the second of the two categories I hare mentioned. When we reflect on the risk which we run of misconceiving and misinterpre ting the acts and the motives of human beings, wit whose language we are imperfectly ac quainted, whose habits of thought are altogether strange to us, and the complications and difficul ties, and, I must add, sometimes the injustices to which these misconceptions and misapprehen sions may give rise, we may well, I think, con template with anxiety and awe the responsibi s lity which the dominion over inferior races im poses ,on our country and on ourselves as indivi duals. No doubt, gentlemen, the best security against error in the discharge of the duties inci dent to this relation is to be found in the sincere acceptance of the belief that all branches of the hu man family are derived from the same parentage, and alike interested in that Divine sacrifice which was offered for the purpose of restoring the image, everywhere, alas! so sadly defaced, in which man was originally created. (Cheers.) That thiitbelief, when sincerely entertained, is hardly compatible with the systematic oppression and degradation of any portion of our species by another, may be in ferred from the fact that the philosophy and na tural history which contradict it have been set up to quiet uneasy consciences in the only country in habited by our race where slavery is permitted to exist. (Cheers.) Bat although this be our best security we need not therefore forget that secular education in its highest development has likewise a tendency . to liberalise the mind, to enlarge the sympathies, and to chasten and purify the heart, and that we ought to learn a lesson of humility from the history which tells us of our own modest beginnings, and of the lapse into barbarism of AR which had attained a height of civilisation hardly inferior to that which we have reached, from the study of the languages and metaphysics which discovers to us the deep wells of thought from whence are drawn many of those traditional beliefs, dear to primitive nations, which the igno rant and superficial are wont to spurn as simply puerile and frivolous, and from modern science which reveals to us how slight and partial are the inroads which our boldest and most successful ad vances have as yet enabled us to make into the vast expanse of the unknown by which we are on every side surrounded. Be assured that if it should be the lot of any of you to pass a portion of your lives either in official employment or in pursuits of commeice, or in missionary labour in this distant land, or among barbarous tribes that own the sway of Britain, or are connected with us in international obligations, you will never have cause to regret the hours you have devoted to your studies in this place, but, on the contrary, you will find that you will be the better fitted for the discharge of the noble task which Providence seems to have imposed upon us— a tinik which will hasten the coining of the day when the light of Christ ian civilisation shall over spread thecart 11, by exhibit ins in your persons, and by the force of your example, the constancy of Christian patience, and the comprehensiveness of Christian charity.andthepurity of Christian morals. (Applause.) Gentlemen, I have only 1g thank you for the extreme—l cannot help mentioning it—the extreme kindness with which you have listened to me, remir.ding me of what was said to me a short time ago by a French gentleman, who, upon at tending a debate: in theliouse of Commons, said he had found out the secret of eloquence in this coon try, and that it consisted in the indomitable patience of the auditory. (Loud cheers.) 'There is one an nouncement which you will allow me to make before concluding—natnely, that it is my intention to fol low the-example of my distinguished predecessor, and offer some prizes for the competition of the students. (Applause.) As I have not had time to consult my learned friends upon the subject you must allow me to take some other opportunity and other means of announcing what these prizes are. (His lordship sat down amid loud and continued 1 cheering.) After consultation with the principal and several of the professors, his LORDSIII r announced that a holiday would be.e ri iven to the students on a day to be afterwards fixed, an announcement which was received with the usual demonstrations; and, after the benedic tion had been pronounced, the assembly broke up. c d ok 'nr NV S VACANCIES, APPOINTMENTS, 4-c.

Three of the piers in the river arc entirely completed, and one is in active progress. Those houses required to be pulled down for the ap proacheAn each side are already condemned, and will be forthwith cleared away; they do not, how ever, interfere with the opening of the first half, as we may call it, of the bridge, and the second half of the structure will be proceeded with while the first is in use for gene raffle. Thomas Pape, civil engineer , is the designer of the new bridge, under whose direction it is being carried out by Mr. Harris, the practical managing engineer. The structure is in the Gsthic style, and consequently will .harmonise admirably with the Houses of Parliament, and being nearly level in its roadway will tend to give that building additional height, which was interfered with by the excessive rise of the old bridge.--Building News. INSTALLATION OF THE EARL OF ELGIN AS LORD RECTOR 0! GLASGOW UNIVERSITY. On Thursday afternoon, in the City Hall, Glas gow, the Right Hon. Lord Elgin was formally in stalled as Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow. The hall was densely crowded, the area being oc cupied by students, and the galleries by ladies and members of the general council. The Lord Rector was accompanied to the platform by Mr. Stirling of Kcir, M.P. ' Dean of Faculty, the principal and pro fessors, and several distinguished persons, includ ing Lord and Lady Belhaven, Sir Archibald Alison, Sir Jolla Maxwelluf Pollock, Mr. Andrew Banna tyne, and the members of the University Court, Sze. Principal *BAuciint, having delivered a Latin prayer, briefly introduced the Lord Rector to the students. The Earl of ELGIN was received with cheers. After the applause had subsided, he said—Mr. Principal, Professors, and Students, if I owed tti6 position which I occupy here to-day to anything but to the unsolicited, and. I must add, the most unmerited and unexpected ftvour and kindness of the students of the University, I might well shrink frcm the execution of the task which long-esta blished usage prescribes to me on this occasion. I know full well that the office which I now so un- worthily fill has been held by a succession of eminent men, whose high reputation and great literary attainments have lent weight and autho rity to the counsels which they have proffered from this place. (Cheers.) Three years ago, when your late rector delivered his inaugural address, I had the good fortune to be present and to hear the charms of literature pourtrayed, and the cause of learning pleaded before sympathising listeners by one of the greatest—perhaps I might without ex aggeration say by the greatest—living master of our language. (Great applause.) And even now, gentlemen—need I confess it—what chiefly over whelms me on the present occasion is the reflection that, during the late contest, your suffrages were claimed on behalf of a candidkto whose great natural gifts, improved by cultivation and study, and acquirements, have placed him on the highest eminence both in literature and statesman- ship. (Cheers.) And yet, gentlemen, conscious as I am of my inferiority to these illustrious men, and of my unworthiness either to succeed or to re place them, I cannot but feel that the opportunity of addressing such an audience as this, at such a time as the present, which the partiality—the un deserved partiality—of the students of the Uni versity, has afforded me, is a privilege—to be exercised, indeed, under a deep sense of responsi bility; but, notwithstanding, a privilege which, as it has como, to me unsought, it would be an act of pusillanimity on my part to forego. For what, gentlemen, let me ask. is the character and position of this audience ? It hAs been affirmed, on high , . authority; that a knowledge of •the sentiments and opinions and convictions of the -educated youth of a community is the surest and most infallible source of politictil foresight. But if this be indeed so, does it not follow, and is it not a solemn thought, well calculated at once to encourage and dismay, that every word of truth dropped from earnest lips upon this pregnant soil may, with God's blessing, in due season bring its tribute to the harvest of the future. And what, let me ask again—what are the signs of the times at which I am invited to exer cise this privilege? Are they not full of instruction and earning ? Do they not contrast strangely, even ominously, with those of a period not long preceding ? Can we close our ears to the lessons which they inculcate respecting the quality and temper of the moral and intellectual armour with which the educated classes iu this country must he Provided, if, along the lino of our national progress, they are henceforward to hold that place in the van which of right belongs to them ? (Applause.) What is it that strikes the imagination of even the most thoughtless and unreflecting, when they com pare—to go no farther back—the phenomena which characterised the commencement ot. this de- cade with those which distinguished its close ? At. the former period hymns of universal peace and brotherhood, a palace of unprecedented dimensions, of a novel and exquisite structure, raised as if by enchantment to be the receptacle of the products of the industry of the earth—such proofs accumulated there of man's control over the powers of nature, of the subserviency of modern science to purposes of human utility, of the wide-spread benefits of commercial in terchange, that 'it seemed hardly extravagant or unreasonable to anticipate that, before the light of this resistless demonstration, the vile passions that begat discord, and the selfishness that checks inter course, would, self-abashed at their own deformity, vanish like night spectres before the dawn. (Cheers.) As a result, in toe many quarters, it is to be feared, faith in a civilisation materialistic rather than moral, in the substitution of a cunningly-devised social mechanism for the energy, and self-reliance, and spiritual elevation of the individual man, in a haven to be reached through self-indulgence rather than self-sacrifice. (Applause.) And what, let me ask again—what are the phenomena which distin guish the close of the decade ? Dark clouds over head, furrowed by the lightning track—below the nations gathered together in perplexity, and anxiously inquiring on what spot the thunderbolt will fall—the hard-worn economies of human in dustry, the knowledge of nature's secrets, so dearly bought, all recklessly expended in the invention, and fabrication, and accumulation of the instru ments of human destruction ; and, as a consequence —a not unnatural consequence—a growing distrust in many of the specious promises of the 19th cen tury, and an anxious groping in the dark after some ground of confidence more stable, more sufficient, and more secure. Gentlemen, I hope that I shall be pardoned, and • not be accused of overstepping the line which upon such occasions as this it would be unbecoming to pass, if I confess that I am reluc tant to quit this topic, which is so suggestive of painful and anxious thoughts, without saying one word in reference to the spirit exhibited, and the attitude maintained, by the people of this country at the present juncture. (Applause.) We have been in the habit of referring to the records of a remote and comparatively barbarous age for proofs and evidences of the patriotism of our countrymen. The noble protest in favour of nation al independence uttered by our forefathers at Bannockburn preceded by upwards of a century the date of the Pupal Bull I which constituted the University of Glasgow. Since that time Scotland has passed through many changes and viseissitudes. She has advanced in wealth and prosperity with a rapidity almost unexampled. Glasgow has grown up from a petty village into a mighty city,and,under thecombined influence ofcapi tal and science, the Clyde at her feet kas grown per haps not quite in the same proportion. The happy union with England has allayed ancient animosities, and concentrated upon objects of common advantage the energies that were formerly wasted in fratricidal conflict. The inhabitants of this island are now, thank God, a people united in heart as in name, attached to their institutions, jealous of their rights,. respectors I trust of the rights of others, lovers of peace, averse to all . notions of territorial self-aggran disement. lint if there be any persons who appre hend that luxury has corrupted, or the pursuits of peace enervated, the national character, the events of the last few months may serve to disabuse than. (Applause.) Do we find taxation complaiii,edofo or personal service grudged when the aft tic country seems to call for . either of these s scrifices 2 . Depend upon it, the.nation been las it sneer ingly designated a na tion of shopkeepers is one in spirit with the nation of warriors that preceded it —(applause)—equally ready to spend the last ling and to shed the last drop of blood for the pre servation of blessings which each succeeding age has only taught us the more highly to appreciate the value of. Your minds are being early brought into contact—and allow me to say this is no mean advantage—practically and experimentally brought into contact with some of the deepest problems of life and humanity.

GLASGOW AND LONDON NEW IVESTIIIINSTE.R BRIDGE. Such has been the progress of the new bridge at Westminster since our previous notice, in the face of " strikes," and the severity of the weather lat terly, that its first half is now ready to be opened at any time for the public traffic of the western end of the metropolis to the Surrey side of the water. It is probable, however, that the opening may be delayed in consequence of the lamented and somewhat premature death of, her Majesty's Chief Commissioner of Works. Independent of the great merit of the now struc ture, as illustrating a fine example of the combina tion of stone and iron in design, we may inform our readers that its roadway is planned in the m ost ingenious manner to meet the wants of an exces sive traffic, both for vehicles and foot passengers. Agreeable to the present arrangement in refer ence to the first half of the bridge which is just completed, we may state that it comprehends a width of 36 feet, and in its central portion there are two tramways, constructed exclusively for the heavy goods traffic, and a macadamised roadway at the side, 16 feet in width, to be specially devoted to cabs, and other light vehicles. The tramways are 6 feet 9 inches in width, and have footways on each side, 3 feet in width, for the exclusive use of the drivers of heavily laden vans, waggons, carts, &c. The centre portions of these peculiar tramways are composed of granite, and the surface on which the wheels of vehicles will work are of wrought iron, bedded on pine balk timber. In covering the fine elliptical arches of the bridge great ingenuity has been displayed so as to lighten the pressure on what is technically called the "crown,' which is covered with a mixture of cork and bitumen, the haunches being filled with m concr ete, above which, in the centre, there is a thickness of six inches o f g ra nite pitching, and on tho haunches a layer of nine in ches in thickness. As viewed from the river , the half of the new bridge, now nearly comp leted, has a very fine effect , enhanced in no small degree b y its noble octangular iron arches of e p l i l e i r pt e ic f al g ranite,aild i curvature, tt,aschexlonsi their ive class being amongst the finest examples of granite and iron work that we have seen. T o g iv e our readers some idea of these granite piers, We msy state that the blocks of which they are constructed in their rough state varied in weight from fifteen to twenty tons each, an I they have been cut in moulded basements and cornices in the most admirable manner, more than rivalling the works of the Egyptians in hard materials. The iron arches have been cast and fitted at the extensive iron works'of Messrs. I 'och rime and Co., Woodside ironworki, near Dudley, and it is only justice to remark that they are every thing that could be wished in every respect. The granite, as used in the piers, &c., is from the Eng lish quarries in Cornwall and Devon, and Supplied by Messrs. Freeman and Co., Milibanic ; the Cheese wring Granite Company ; and the Devon Ilayter Granite Company. Th,e abutments of the bridge on each side of the Thames, together with their dry arches, 8,7 c., are constructed of brick, faced with Portland stone, of excellent quality, procured from the old bridge, and reworked. We may add that the entire abutment of the bridge on the Surrey side of the Thames is com pleted, that on the Middlesex side is in an advanced. 3,520 6,38. 0 4 110. _____.... icct Bail jue. ___---• U. 1• s, 4 v. 2 2 v. 2t n. u. 03 n.
