Therefor 1, if it were not an impertinence in me to ten.ler r.ci vice in such a matter, I should say, let all who t!o nse i,„_ tiously can remain in the Church. A Church is far more easily' improved from within than from without. Alinatt all the illustrious reformers of religion began by being clergymen; but they did not think that their profession as clergymen was in consistent with being reformers. They mostly, in deed, ended their days outside the Churches in which they were born ; but it was because the Churches, in an evil hour for themselves, cast them out. They did not think it any business of theirs to withdraw. They thought they had a better right to remain in the fold than those had who expelled them. (Loud applause.) After some observations on esthetic culture, which deserved to be regarded in a more serious light than was the custom, the, Rector concluded ,by an appeal to the students on the use of the intellect. " You are," he said, "to be a part of the public who are to welcome, en courage, and help forward the future intellectual ,_ benefactors of humanity ; and you are, if possible, to furnish your contingent to the number of those benefactors." . Mr. Mill, who was listened to throughout with close and sustained attention, sat down amid loud cheering. He again rose, and intimated the adjudication of two prizes for the best essays - on literary subjects. .. The procQedings were closed with the benediction. • K IN ARAN'S LL WHISKY. - DUBLIN EXHIBITION, 18. This celebrated OLD IRISH WHISKY gale the D ublin Prize M e d a l.

F,,rms I on application by letter to ,EDWARD IaARPER, Secretary. Mr. Stuart Mill at St. Andrews. ing how to discriminate truth is not confined to the large truths. All through life it is our most press ing, interest to find out the truth about all the mat . ters we are concerned with. Now, there are but two roads by which truth can be discovered—ob servation and reasoning—observation, Cr course, in cluding experiment. We all observe, and we all reason, and, therefore, more o'r less successfully, we all ascertain truths, but most of us do it very ill, and could not get on at all were we not able to fall back on others who do it better. If we could not do it in any degree, we should be mere instruments iu the hands of those who could—they would be able to re luce us to slavery. Then, how shall we best learn to do this ? By being shown the way in which it-has already been successfully done. The processes by which truth is attained, reasoning and observation, have been carried to their greatest known perfection in the physical sciences. As classical literature furnishes the most perfect types of the art of expression, so do the physical sciences those of the art of thinking. Mathematics, and its application to astronomy and natural philosophy, are the most complete example of the discovery of truths by reasoning ; experimental science, of their discovery by direct observation. Mr. Mill having given the outline of a com plete scientific education, went on to say : Those branches of politics, or of the laws of social life in which there exists a collection of facts or thoughts sufficiently sifted and methodised to form C" 'NTRY HOTELS, PUBLIC lIOUSES, an BUSINESSES.

FRENCH MONUMENTS IN ENGLAND.—A corre spondent, signing himself " A Visitor to Dartmoor in 1866," has written the following letter to the Times:---" Without the walls of Dartmoor prison are laid the bodies of the many French prisoners of war who died there in the early part of the pre sent century. Last year this burial -ground, whose turf walls had been trodden down, and into which swine might wander at will, was thoroughly en closed, ornamentally planted, and a central granite obelisk reared, bearing an inscription---‘ To the memory of the French prisoners of war who died on Dartmoor. Dale° et decorum est pro patria mori.' A lesser monument marks the resting place of the American prisoners. Coincidently this is somewhat remarkable, as done at the orders of the Governor, who is uncle of the present Vis count Hood, for the tomb of whose grandfather his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of the French has graciously directed a similar care to be shown,'" As reported by telegraph on Saturday, Mr. Stuart Mill, M.P., Rector of the University of St. Andrew's, delivered his inaugural address on Friday, and re ceived on the occasion the honorary degree of Doctor of The address was of great length, the Rector taking a survey of the whole range of literary and scientific study, and treating each point in its rela tion to the work of the University. He began by commending the usage which prescribes to the rector of a University the duty of addressing to his consti tuency a few thoughts on the subjects which most nearly concern a seat of liberal education, seeing education is one of the most inexhaustible of all topics, and is still as fresh to those who came to it with a fresh Mind as it was to its first explorers. Not withstanding the great mass of excellent things which have been said respecting it, no thoughtful person finds any lack of things, both great and small, still waiting to be said, or waiting to be developed and followed out to their consequences. Education, moreover, is one of the subjects which most essen tially require to be considered by various minds and from a variety of points of view. For, of all many sided.subjects, it is the one which has the greatest number of sides. Th e l earn ed Rector, remarking that he proposed to spea k o f e ducation as " the cul ture which each generation purposely gives to those who are to be its successors in order to qualify them for at least keeping up and, if possible, raising the level a improvement which has been attaine 1," went on to describe the functions of a University in national education. It is not, he remarked, a place of professional education. Universities are not intended to teach the knowledge required to fit men for some special mode of gaining their livelihood. Their object is not to make skilful lawyers, or phy sicians, or engineers, but capable and cu lti va t e d human beings. It is right that there should be public facilities for the study of professions. It is well that there shoUld be schools of law and of medi tine and it would be well if there were schools of engineering and industrial arts. The countries which have such institutions are greatly better for them ; avl there is something to be said for having them in the same localities and under the same ge neral superintendence as the establishMents devoted to education properly so called. But these things are no part of what every generation owes to the next, as that on which its civilisation and worth will principally depend. They are needed only by comparatively few, who are under the strongest private inducements to acquire them by their own efforts ; and even those few do not require them until after their education, in the ordinary sense, has been completed. Men are men before they are lawyers, physicians, or merchants, or manufacturers, and if you make them capable and sensible men, they will make themselves capable and sensible lawyers or physicians. What professional men should carry away with them from a university is not professional knowledge, but that which should direct the use of their professional knowledge, and bring the light of general culture to 'illuminate the technicalities of a special pursuit. Mier some ob servations on the duties of the lower schobls, Mr. Stuart Mill proceeded to say a few words on the great controversy of the present day with regard to the higher education— the difference which most broadly divides educational reformers and Conser- vatives ; the vexed question between the ancient languages and the modern sciences and arts ; whe ther general education should be classical—let me use a wider expression, and say literary—or scien , tific. On this point he said—We are not obliged ' to ask ourselves whether it is more important to know the languages or the sciences. Short as life is, and shorter still as we make it by the time we waste on things which are neither business, nor medita tion, nor pleasure, we are not so badly off that our scholars-Hoed be ignorant of tha laws and properties of the world they live in, or our scientific men des titute of poetic feeling and artistic cultivation. I am amazed at the limited conception which many educa tional reformers have formed to themselves of a human being's power of acquisition. The study of science, they truly say, is indispensable ; our present education neglects it. There is truth in this, too, though it is not all truth. And they think it impos sible to find room for the studies which theydesire to encourage but by turning out, at least from general education, those which are now chiefly cultivated. How absurd, they say, that the whole of boyhood should be taken up in acquiring an imperfect know ledge of two dead languages.. , Absurd, indeed; but is the human mind's capacity. to learn measured by that of Eton and Westminster to teach ? I should prefer to s ee th ese reformers pointing their attacks against the shameful inefficiency of the schools, pub lic and pri va t e , which pretend to teach these two languages a n d d o not. I should like to hear them denounce the wret c h e d methods of teac hi ng , an d th e criminal idl eneness and supineness, which waste the entire boyho o d o f the pupils without rea ll y g i v i ng to most of th em more than a smatter i ng, if even that, of the only kind of knowledge which is even pretended to be cared for. Let us try what con scientious and intelligent teaching can do before we decide what cannot be done. Scotland has, on the whole, in this re s p ect been considera bl y more fortu nate than England. Scotch youths have never found it impossible to l eave school or the U n i vers ity, hav ing learnt som ew h at of other th i ngs b es id es G ree k and Latin. Aud why ? Because Greek and Latin have been better taught. A beginning of classical instruction has all along been made in the com mon schools ; and the common schools of Scotland, like her Universities, have never been the mere shams the English Universities were during the last century, and the greater part of the English classi cal schools still are. The only tolerable Latin gram mars for school purposes that I know of which had been produced in these islands until very lately were written by Scotchmen. Reason, indeed, is begin ning to find its way by gradual infiltration even into should languagesi eo e d v the e r soon e c e as e English schools, and to maintain a contest, th oug h as yet a very unequal one, against routine. A f ew prac tical reformers of school tuition, of w h om A rno l d was the most eminent, have made a be g i nn i ng o f am name endm re en a tin al many s slow, tid : i g s;but reforms worthy o f the and reform e ven o f Go vernments and Churches is not Sc) slow as that of improvements in th e mode of teaching schools, for there is the great prelimina r y diffi cu l ty of rn fashioning the instru m e n ts — teaching th e t eac h ers. If all ucl whichare already sanctioned by adoptedexpe rience into our cl ass i cal schools, we h to hear of Latin and Greek as studies which must engross the school years and ren der impossible any other acquirements. I will say confidently that if the two classical languages were properly taught there would be no need whatever for ejecting them from the school course in order to have sufficient time for everything else that need be included therein. Let me say a few more words on this strangely limited estimate of what it is possible for human beings to learn, resting on a tacit assump tion that they are already as efficiently taught as they ever can be. It is not the utmost limit of human acquirement to know only one thing, but to combine a minute knowledge of one or a few things with a general knowledge of many things. By a general knowledge 1 do not mean a few vague: impressions. An eminent man, one of whose wi Rings is part of the course of this University, Archbishop Whately, has well discriminated between a general knowledge and a superficial knowledge. To have a general knowledge of a subject is to know only its leading truths, but to know these not superficially, but tho roughly, so as to have a true conception of the sub ject in its great features, leaving the minor details to those who require them for the purposes of their special pursuit. There is no incompatibility between knowing a wide range of subjects up to this point 'and some one subject with the completeness required by those who make it their principal occupation. It is this combination which gives an enlightened pub lic—a body of cultivated intellects, each taught by : I its attainments in its own province what real know ledge is, and knowing enough of other subjects to he able to discern who are those that know them better. Mr. Mill went to speak of those branches which were more appropriately taught without than within the University. He did not agree with those reformers who would give a regular and prominent place in the school or University course to modern languages. He thought the living languages should be acquired, if possible, in the places in which they were spoken, where a few monti s, if properly employed, would go much further than as many years of school les sor.s. It was really a waste of time for those to whom that easier method was attainable to labour at them with no help but that of books and masters. In time that shorter method would be attainable to many more than at present by the establishment of international colleges and schools. Again, he said, it has always seemed to me a great absurdity that history and geography should' be taught in schools, except in elementary schools for the children of the labouring classes, whose subsequent access to books is limited. Who ever really learnt history and geo graphy except by private reading ? And what an utter failure a system of education must be if it has not given the pupil a sufficient taste for reading to seek for himself those most attractive and easily in telligible of all kinds of knowledge ? Besides, such history and geography as can be taught in schools exercise none of the faculties of the intelligence ex cept the memory. The only languages, then, and the only literature to which I would allow a. place in the ordinary curriculum are those of the Greeks and Romans ; and to these I would preserve the position in it which they at present occupy. That position is justified by the great value, in education, of know ing-well some other cultivated language and litera ture than one's own, and by the peculiar value of those particular languages and literatures. Even as mere languages, no modern European language is so valuable a discipline to the intellect as those of Greece and Rome, on account of their regular and complicated structure. The structure of every sen tence is a lesson of logic. In the next place, I would notice the treasure which that literature accumulated of what might be called the wisdom of life—the rich store of experience of human nature and conduct which the acute and observing minds of those ages, aided in their observations by the greater simplicity of manners and life, consigned to their writings, and most of which retained all its value In cultivating the ancient languages as our best literary education, we are all the while laying an admirable foundation for ethical and philosophical culture. In purely literary excellence—in perfection of form—the pre eminence of the ancients is not disputed. In every department which they attempted, and they attempted almost all, their composition, like their sculpture, has been to the greatest modern artists an example, to be looked up to with hopeless admiration, but of inappreciable value as a light on high guiding their own endeavours. In prose and in poetry, in epic, lyric, or dramatic, as in historical, philosophical, and oratorical art, the pinnacle on which they stand is equally eminent. I am now speaking of the form, the artistic perfection of treat ment; for as regards substance I consider modern poetry to be superior to ancient, in the same man ner, though in a less degree, as modern science ; it enters deeper into nature. The feelings of the modern mind are more various, more complex and manifold than those of the ancients ever were. The modern mind is, what the ancient mind was not, brooding and self-conscious ; and its meditative self-consciousness has discovered depths in the human soul which the Greeks and Romans did not dream of, and would not have understood. But what they had to express they expressed in a manner which few even of the greatest moderns have seri ously attempted to rival. It must be remembered that they bad more time, and that they wrote chiefly for a select class, possessed of leisure. To us who write in a hurry for people who read in a hurry, the attempt to give an equal degree of finish would be a loss of time. But to be familiar with perfect models is not the less important to us because the element in which we work precludes even the effort to equal them. They show us, at least, what ex cellence is, and make us desire it, and strive to get as near to it as is within our reach. And this is the value to us of the ancient writers, all the more emphatically because their excellence does not admit of being copied or directly imitated. It does not consist in a 'trick which can be- learnt, but in the perfect adaptation of means to ends. The secret of the style of the great Greek and Roman authors is that it is the perfection.of good sense. In the first place, they never use a word without a meaning, or a word which adds nothing to-the: meaning. Their style is exactly described by Swift's definition, " the right words in the right places." Look at an oration of Demosthenes, there is nothing in it which calls attention to itself as style at all ; it is only after a close examination we perceive that every word is what it should be, and where it should be, to lead the heart smoothly and imperceptibly into the state of mind which the 'orator wishes to produce. The perfection of the workmanship is only visible in the total absence of any blemish or fault, and of anything which checks the flow of thought and feeling, anything which even momentarily distracts the mind from the main purpose. But then, as has been well said, it was not the object of Demosthenes to make the Athe nians cry out, " What a splendid speaker ;" but to make them say, " Let us march against Philip." " ip. (Applause.) Mr. Mill proceeded to point out two lessons in composition to be learnt from the clas sical authors—first that it was only in the decline of ancient literature that ornament began tco be cul tivated as mere ornament ; and second, that the ancients were concise while the moderns are prolix. He next spoke of the proper limitation of classical studies. To what purpose, he asked, should the most precious years of early life be. irreparably squandered in learning to write bad Latin and Greek verses ? Ido not see that we are much the better even for those who end by writing good ones. I am often tempted to ask the favourites of nature and fortune whether all the serious and important work of the world is done that their time and energy can be spared for these nugat difficlies? I am not blind to the utility of composing in a lan guage as a means of learning it accurately. I hardly know any other means equally effectual. -But why should not prose composition suffice ? What need is there of original composition at all? If that can be called original which unfortunate schoolboys, without any thoughts to express, ham mer out on compulsion from mere memory, acquir ing the pernicious habit which a teacher should con sider it one of his first duties to repress, that of merely stringing together borrowed exercise in composition most suitable fo phrases the se equ s ? The ir e ment of learners is that most valuab le one of re translatingpfr a nd to this from mni translated ght be added, w hat still exist continental places of educatio n, occasional p ractice in talking Latin. There would be something for tbin cu in many said for the time spent i n the manufacture of verses if such practice were necessary poetry; though it woul d be thesleg to i be jovment of ancient n as a training and the value of scientific i nstructio then spokei ase it a o t so extravagant a price. f to fit the intellect for the prop e r discpilining process better to lose that enjoyment i,he than ßee work of a human being. The most incessant occu pation o t° r t p h u e r of truth. We all require the ability to judge between the conflicting opinions which are offered to u s as , vital truths • to choose of the human inte llect throughout life was, he said, the ascertainmen t w hat doctrines we will rece i v e in the matter of re ligion,example; to judge whether we ought to be Tories, Whigs, or Ra dicals, or to what length it is our duty to go with each ; to fo rm a ratio nal c o n viction on great questions of legislation and for in ternal policy, and on the manner in which the country should behave to dependencies and to foreign nations, And the need we have of know- j will stand actual trial. The same persons who cry down logic will generally warn you against political economy. It is unfeeling, they will tell you. It recognises unpleasant facts. For my part, the most unfeeling thing I know of is the law of gravitation ; it breaks the neck of the best and most amiable per son without scruple, if he forgets for asingle moment to give heed to it. The winds and waves, too, are very unfeeling. Would you advise those who go to sea to deny the winds and waves—or to make a use of them, and find the means of guarding against their dangers ? My advice to you is to study the great writers on political economy, and hold firmly by whatever in them you find true ; and depend upon it that if you are not selfish or hardhearted already political economy will not make you so. (Applause.) After some observation on the im portance of the studies of jurisprudence, inter national law, and moral philosophy, the speaker touched on the position of the University towards the training of religion. He said—.l shall not enter into the question which has been debated with so much vehemence in the last and pre sent generation, whether religion ought to be taught at all in Universities and public schools, seeing that religion is the subject of all others on which men's opinions are most widely at variance. On neither side of this controversy do the disputants seem to me to have sufficiently freed their mind' from the old notion of education, that it consists in the dogmatic inculcation from authority of what the teacher deems true. Why should it be impossible that information of the greatest value on subjects connected with religion should be brought before the student's mind ; that [he shoul.l be made acquainted with so important a ' part of the national thought, and of the intellectual labours of past generations its those relating to reli gion, without being, taught dogmatically the doc trines of any Church or sect ? Christianity being a historical religion, the sort of religious instruction which seems to me most appropriate to a University is the study of ecclesiastic history. The teaching should not be in the spirit of dogmatism, but in that of inquiry. The pupil should not be addressed as if religion had been chosen for him, bat as one who will . have to choose it for himself. The various Churches, established and unestablished, are quite competent to the task which is peculiarly theirs—that of teach ing its own doctrines, as far as necessary, to its own rising generation. The proper business of a Uni versity is different, not to tell us from authority what we ought to believe, and wake us accept the belief as a duty, but to give us information and training, and help us to form our own belief in a 'manner worthy of intelligent beings, who seek for truth at all hazards, and demand to know all the difficulties, in order that, they may be better quali fied to find, or recognise, the mostsatisfactory mode of resolving them. Ido not affirm that a Univer sity if it represses free thought and inquiry, must be altogether a failure, for the freest thinkers have often been trained in the most slavish seminaries of learning. The great Christian reformers were taught in Catholic Universities ; the sceptical philo sophers of France were mostly educated by the Jesuits. The human mind is sometimes impelled all the more violently in one direction by an over zealous and demonstrative attempt to drag it in the opposite. But this is not what Universities are ap pointed for—to drive men from them, even unto good, by excess of evil. A University . ought to be a place of free speculation. The more dilgently it does its duty in all other respects, the more certain it is to be that. The old English Universities, in the present genera tion, are doing better work than they have done within human memory in teaching the ordinary studies of their curriculum ; and one of the conse quences has been that, whereas they formerly seemed to exist mainly for the repression of independent thought, and the chaining up of the individual in tellect and conscience, they are now the great foci of free and manly inquiry to the higher and pro fessional classes south of the Tweed. The ruling mind of those ancient seminaries have at last re membered that to place themselves iu hostility to the free use of the understanding is to abdicate their own best privilege—that of guiding it. A modest deference, at least provisional, to the united autho rity of the specially instructed is becoming in a youthful and imperfectly formed mind; but when there is no united authority—when the specially in structed are so divided and scattered that almost any opinion can boast of some high authority, and no opinion whatever can claim all—when, therefore, it can never be deemed extremely improbable that one who uses his mind freely may see reason to change his opinion—then, whatever you do, keel), at all risks, your mind open ; do not barter away your freedom of thought. (Applause.) Those of you who are destined for the clerical profession are, no doubt, so far held to a certain number of doc trines that if they ceased to believe them they _ _ . would not be justified in remaining in a position in which they would be required to teach insincerely. But use your influence to make those doctrines as few as possible. It is not right that men should be bribed to hold out against conviction—to shut their ears against objections, or, if the objections pene trate, to continue professing full and unfaltering belief when their confidence is already shaken. Neither is it right that if men honestly profess to have changed dome of their religious opinions their honesty should as a matter of course exclude them from tlking a part for which they may be admir- ably qualified in the spiritual instruction to the nation. The tendency of the age, on both sides of the ancient border, is towards the relation of formularies, and a less rigid construction of articles. This very circumstance, by making the limits of orthodoxy less definite, and obliging every one to draw the line for himself, is an embarrassment to consciences. But I hold entirely with those clergy men who elect to remain in the National Church so Dug as they are able to accept lte Articles and INDIAN MEDICAL SERVICE. INDIA.

SHOOTING A GAMEKEEPER.—,Two men, named Edward Parmenter and Robert Parmenter, were on Friday committed for trial at the ensuing Suffolk assizes, on a charge of shooting at James Mothersole, a gamekeeper to Earl Howe, at Acton Park, on Jan.l9. Seven or eight witnesses were examined, four of whom swore positively to having seen Edward Parmenter fire the gun at the keepers, and several of them spoke to seeing his brother Robert with him before the affray. It appeared that on the night in question, about ten o'clock, Mothersole and three or four under-keepers were watching in a wood, having reason to suspect that poachers were r,bout. Hearing a rustling among the underwood, they crouched in the ditch, and saw two mon come within twelve yards of them. The headkeeper, Mothersole, gave a signal to his men to seize the poachers, and Edward l'armenter, seeing them rise, fired off his gun immediately at them. The charge struck Mothersole on the side of the head, and ono of the shots also struck an under -keeper Steed.nafmeeildewedby the p oac hers then turned and ran, but were wkeheepreersEoduwt Edward w t he a N s v o s o e d i:e n d, d across bet h itefi brothereld in t.o Acton-lane,Edward was taken to the keeper's house, but with some difficulty, as he resisted violently, and Inspector Gower was sent for, and took him to the lock-up at Melford. His gun had been taken from him by one of the keepers, and I when ho was searched a powder-flask and shot-pouch— ! both nearly full—a number of gun-caps, a snare, and other articles, were found in his - possession. Robert Parmenter, who had been ilentified by two of the keepers as he was running away, was apprehended on Monday, the 28 t h ult. in his own house at Acton. Mothersole, notwithstanding his wounds and great loss of blood, ran after the prisoners, and assisted to take one. As soon as ho got home Mr. Spencer, surgeon, of Melford, was sent for, and droised his wounds. Two of the shots had passed through the lobe of the left oar, grazing his head, and six shots passed between the scalp and the scull-bone, and, after travelling from an inch to an inch and a half, passed out again. For some days Mothersole was in considerable danger from the shock to the system and loss of blood ; and Mr. Spencer stated, in reply to one of the magistrates, that if the gun had bean pointed half an inch to the right the charge would cer tainly have entered the forehead and killed him on the spot. Tho prisoner Edward Parmenter denied having seen the keepers at all, but admitted havi ng fi re d t h e gun; and Robert Parmenter d en i e d h av i ng b een in the wood at all on. the night in question. As before stated, they were committed for trial.
