Grimstome, of the Herbary, High rate fcr the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, end the whole of her hairis much stronger and more luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to'the virtues of Mr. G.'s itegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase en I Is. bottle if tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex ierience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ince, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far 3eyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w crops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mate it strong, and )revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A tew drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the 'lair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic kerbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair ou children's heads in a few appplications. If aced on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See laraphlet of testimonials.

My Lord, yon'will pardon a pun on the l'unjaub, When I say 'tie a bad job as well as a done job. Napier, it appears, is to start as your peer, Commanded to take the commandership here. Gough must go of, so the rulers declare, And another must settle the Sutlej affair. This decision, my Lord, may be painful to you, But I view it as proper—l certainly do. Only think of the victims who fell by the Jhelum, I fain would restore them, and raise them, and heal'em, And view the brave captains who now are no more, Who fought their last fight on the Jhelum's red shore. But, my i.ord, I forbear, and at once I would waive A topic so touching —a subject so grave. I was thinking, my Lord, that the subject is one Which may give an idea to E. MOSES and SON. Though you as Commander-in-Chief must come back With something which greatly resembles the sack. St 11, still Messrs. MOSES and SON are display ed As the gallant Commanders-'n-Chief of the trade. Encamped on a spot for which mulitudes search, Commanding a view of St. Botolph's tall church. E. MOSES and SON in a mercantile war Have faced competition, and male him withdraw.

[ADvEansEmENT ]—A Bad Leg Cured by Iloilo. way's Ointment and Pills, after Twenty Years' Suffering....., Extract of a letter from Mr. Andrew Brack, blacksmith, Eye mouth, dated August 10, 1848:—" To Professor Holloway._ Sir,—l have the pleasure to inform you that I have obtained a most extraordinary care by the use of your celebrated Oint ment and Pills.

INSTALLATION ofMR. MACAULAY AS LORD RECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW. We gave yesterday an outline of the interesting pro :eedings attendant on Mr. Macaulay's installation. We .ow present our readers with a detailed report. The ceremony excited much interest in Glasgow, and he demand for tickets of admission was, if not absolutt ly inprecedented, at least very brisk. The proceedings vere fixed to commence at twelve o'clock, but long be 'ore that hour the venerable gates of the college were be •ieged by eager applicants for admission, consisting prin. :ipally of the students and their friends. The College hall, in which the installation took place, is in nowise a -emarkable structure. It is spacious, and there its merit Begins and ends. The room is long and narrow ; along portion of one side runs a long elevated bench ; oppo .ite is a small pulpit and desk; and at either extremity, two galleries cross the hail at right angles. The floor is taken up with unbacked benches, inscribed with the lames of the different classes in the University who have a right to occupy them. On the prt sent occasion the students, togati and non-togati, marched into the hall frc.m their respective class-rooms, and the space appropriated for them was .peedily crammed by as noisy a set of young gentlemen is can well be conceived. The galleries were set apart exclusively for ladies, and were well filled. The students had been admitted soon after eleven ,'clock, and from that time until twelve the uproar was incessant. Calls were continually made for cheers for popular, and groans for unpopular, personages. The lames of the professors were mostly received with ac elamation. Then the ladies in the gallery were ho noured with three deafening cheers, and the name of the Earl of Eglintoun obtained a similar tribute. Three tlistinct rounds of groans were appropriated to the police (there had, we believe, been some slight altercation with these functionaries at the gates), and three cheers, and ultimately countef-cheers, were given for anybody or for nobody in particular. A few minutes before twelve o'clock the dignitaries of the college made their appearance. Mr. Macaulay, in his robes, as Lord Rector, marched behind the mace bearer; after him came the Reverend Principal, the Pro fessors, and some of the municipal dignitaries. Mr. Macaulay took the chair, supported on one hand by Principal Macfarlane, and on the other hand by Profes sor Ramsey. The other professors were ranged right end left, and amongst them sat Lord Belhaven, the Lord Advocate, and Bailies Smith, Orr, and Stewart. The party was received with great cheering from the students. The Rev. PRINCIPAL opened the proceedings by a short Latin prayer. After which Professor RANsET read the minute of election—also in Latin—by which Mr. Macaulay was declared to have been duly chosen Lord Rector. The Learned Gentle man then recited the formula of an oath, which Mr. Macaulay repeated after him, and which he signed. The LORD RECTOR then rose, and after bowing to the Principal, addressed the assemblage in the following wordss—My first duty, gentlemen, is to return you my thanks for the high honour you have conferred on me.— (Cheers.) That honour, as you Well know, was wholly unsolicited, and I can assure you it was wholly unex pected. I may add, that if I had been invited to become a candidate for your suffrages, I should have respect fully declined the invitation. My predecessor, whom I am so happy as to be able to call my friend—(Cheers) —declared from this place last year, in language which well became him, that he would not have come forward to displace so eminent a statesman as Lord John Russell. I can with equal truth declare that I would not have come forward to displace 30 estimable a gentleman and so accomplished a man as Colonel Mure. But be belt last year that it was not for him, and I feel this year that it is not for me, to question the propriety of your decision, in a point on which, by the constitution of your body, you are the sole judges. I therefore accept with thank fulness the office to which I am called, fully purposing to use whatever powers belong to it with the single view of the promotion of the credit and the welfare of this university.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen. I am not using a mere phrase of course, when I say that the feelings with which I bear a part in this ceremony are such as I find it difficult to clothe in words.—(Hear, hear.) I am not surprised that, when that great master of eloquence, Edmund Burke, stood where I now stand, he faltered and remained mute. Doubtless the multitude of feeling and thoughts ehich at that moment rushed on his mind were such as even he found it difficult to arrange and to express. And it might well be so. For, to the reflecting mind, I doubt whether any spectacle be more affecting and more striking than that which a great historical place of education presents on the day of a great public solemnity.—(Hear, hear.) There is a something essentially affecting and interesting in the contrast between the venerable antiquity of the body, and the fresh and ardent youth of the gee at ma jority of thos• who compose it.—(Cheers.) Reeolfee Lions and hopes crowd on the mind; the past and the future are brought near us at once in a manner in which no other ceremony links them together. Our thoughts wander heck to the de) s when the foundations of this ancient building were laid, and forw ard to the times when those whom it is our office to teach and guide, will be the teachers and the guides of our posterity.— (Cheers.) And on the present occasion, we may, with peculiar propriety, give such thoughts free cenrse, for it has so chanced that my magistracy has fallen in a great secular epoch. This is the four hundredth year of the existence of your university.— (Cheers.) At such jubilees as these—jubilees of which no man sees more than one—it is natural, it is good, that a body like this, which outlives all the transitory parts of which it is composed—a body of corporate existence and perpetual succession—should revie n its annals—should retrace its progress from infancy to maturity, and try to derive from the experience of generations which have passed away some lessons which may be profitable to generations yet unborn.—(Cheers.) And in this case, gentlemen, the retrospect is full of interest and import. ance. I doubt whether it would be possible to name a point of time since the Christian era more remarkable and more important to the highest interests of mankind than that at which this society began to exist.—(Hear, hear.) It was an era of a great destruction, but it was also an era of a great creation. Your society began to exist just at the moment when the Empire of the East was falling—that strange empire, which, dragging on a lingering existence through the long age of darkness, connected together two great ages of light—that empire which, adding itself nothing to our stores of knowledge —which, producing itself not one man eminent in liters • tare, science, or the arts—yet preserved, in the midst of barbarism, those monuments of Athenian genius which the highest minds still contemplate, and long will con tinuo to contemplate with admiring despair.—(Loud cheers.) But at that very moment, when the fanatical Moslem was sacking Constantinople—gi v i ng t o th e flames piles of . Grecian eloquence—bre a ki ng t o frag ments master - pieces of Grecian sculpture—at that mo ment, in a distant part of the world, a few humble German artizans, who little knew they were creating a power, compared with which that of the victorious Sultan was insignificant, were busi e d i n cu t t i ng an d set ting the first printing types.—(Loud cheering.) Your society began to exist just early enough to see the last vestige of the Roman empire disappear, and just late enough to see the earliest printed book.—(Cheers.) At that period —a period of unrivalled interest in the history of letters—a man n e v e r t o b e men ti one d w ithout veneration by any lover of letters held the first place in Europe. The attachment which we feel for our Protestant faith must not prevent us in this place and on this day from doing justice to the memory of the founder of the University of Glasgow—the greatest of the revivers of learning—Pope Nicholas the Fifth.—(Hear.) Sprung from amongst the common people, he yet at an ealy age attracted the notice of the great. Ile studied much—he travelled far—he visited Britain, which was to his na tive Tuscany what the vast settlements of America are to Britain now. He was the companion and the friend of those merchant princes of Florence who first en nobled trade by making it the ally of letters, science, and taste. It was he who, under the protection of the munificent and discerning Cosmo, collected and ar ranged the first public library of which modern Europe could boast.—(Cheers.) From obscurity and privacy your founder rose to a throne, but on the throne he never forgot the noble studies which had de lighted him in obscurity and privacy. He was the centre figure of an illustrious troop, composed partly of the last great scholars of Greece, and partly of the first great scholars of Italy. Need I repeat that bright bead roll? There was Theodore Gaza and George of Trebizond— Bessarin and Silelfo—Marsilio Ficino and Poggio Brac ciolini. The great Pontiff of whom I speak founded the library of the Vatican, and enriched it with the most precious of the treasures snatched from the wreck of the Byzantine Empire. His agents were to be found in every part of the world—in the bazaars of the furthest East—in the monasteries of the furthest West— transcribing and purchasing those mouldy and worm eaten parchments, traced with words worthy of immortality.—(Loud cheers.) Under his patronage were prepared accurate Latin versions of the greatest works of the Greek philosophers and poets: but no de partment of knowledge owes more to him than history. By means of this great and good man, Western Europe first became acquainted with those two unrivalled models of historical style—the works of Herodotus and Thucy elides. It was to him that our ancestors first owed their knowledge of :ho lucid grace of Xenophon, and the manly good sense of Polybius.—(Loud cheers.) It. was then, gentlemen, in the midst of cares like these, that the attention of your founder was called to the iutellectual wants of this region—a region now rich with cultivation —now abounding with wealth—a region of great ports its incomparable cities—which sends forth, borne by mighty fleets , incomparable fabrics, to parts of the world which no geographer of the fifteenth century knew—a region which Has then a rude, a poor and half barbarous tract, on the verge of human civilization, almost on the verge of the knovi n world.— (Hew., eat.) here however," Nicholas the Fifth determined to found . a university, and he declared that this university should possess the same privileges as those whic h belonged to the University of Bologna. Gentleman, I can conceive that a passing smile brighten ed over the Pontiff's face es he named, in juxtaposition, Bologna and Glasgow. — (Cheers and laughter.) At Bologna, he himself had .tudied. No part of Europe . owed more either to na ure or to art. It was situated in a beautiful land—a coun ry of corn-fields, and vineyards, lying beneath the warm 'sun of the south. It was governed by t 49 great house of Pentivoglio, which vied with the great house of the Medieis—which enriched the seat of its power with temples and palaces, and munificently patronised letters and the arts. As to GlasgoW, alt the Pope could know of it was, that it was what he would have called an obscure and mean town, and he would, per haps, have added that it would never become any thing else—it lay upon a soil so sterile, and under a sky so inclement—a soil and a sky which would have made an Italian shudder.—(A laugh.) But it is not upon the soil or the atmosphere that the greatness and prosperity of nations depend.—(Cheers.) Slavery and superstittion can make the country of the Campagna a land of beggars.—(Cheers.) But it is not beyond the power of human intelligence and energy, developed by civil and spiritual freedom, to change sterile rocks and pestilential marshes into busy cities and smiling gar dens.—(Cheers.) Enlightened as your founder was, he little knew that he was himself the chief agent in a great revolution, moral and physical—political and re ligious—in a revolution which was destined to make the first last and the last first—in a revolution which was destined completely to invert the relative position of Glasgow and Bologna.—(Hear.) I do not know that we can ;better employ a few moments than in tracing the progress of that revolution to which our country and your university owe so much. That review shall be very short ; indeed I cannot do better than pass rapidly from one centenary period to another. Look at the world one hundred years after the seal of Nicholas had been affixed to that instrument which egged your university into existence. We find Europe and Scotland going through the agonies of that great revolution which we emphatically call the Reformation.—(Hear, hear.) The munificent patronage which Nicholas, and men like Nicholas, had bestowed on learning—and of which the creatien of this seat of education is not one of the least remarkable proofs—had produced au effect of which they never dreamed. Ignorance had been the talisman of their power, and that talisman they themselves had broken.—(Hear, hear.) They had called up knowledge as a handmaid to decorate superstition, and the event was such as it has always been, and always will be. Men's minds, refreshed by the best literature of Greece and Rome, grew too strong for the trammels of scholastic theology. I need not, of course, tell you what a great part the votaries of ancient learning, and of Greek learning in particular, the Humanists, as they were called, bore in the great struggle for spiritual freedom. They were the great leaders of the movement. Need I mention, in a Scottish University, the names of Knox, of Buchan nan, of Melville, and I may say, of Maitland, of Leth• ington ? That, in truth, every great Reformer was a Humanist, and every great Humanist in the north of Europe was, according to the measure of his courage and uprightness, a Reformer.—(Cheers.) Their in fluence was not, as it might have been in early ages, confined to the highly educated classes to which they themselves belonged ; for printing had brought books within the reach of every ploughman and every artizan. Thus there was, from the Mediterranean to the Frozen Sea, a general agitation in the public mind of Europe ; and this agitation was nowhere greater and„stronger than it was here. It was in the midst of martyrdoms and proscriptions—in the thick of the war of truth against power, that the first century of your university's existence closed.—(C beers ) Pass an other century, and you are in the midsi of another revo lution. The war between Popery and Protestantism had been terminated by the victory of Protestantism, but the result hsd given birth to a new war, that between Prelacy and Puritanism.—(Hear.) Each of the hostile religious sects became allied to, intermingled with, confounded with, a political party. The monarchical element of the constitution was most warmly espoused by,the Prelatist, the popular element of the constitution was regarded with especial fondness by the Puritan. Then an appeal to the sword took place. Puritanism triumphed, but it was soon divided against itself. Independents and Re publicans ranged themselves on one side, Presbyterians and Limited-Monarchy men embraced the other. It was at the very darkest moment of that dark time, in the midst of battles, sieges, and executions, when all Europe was still standing aghast at the recent spectacle of a British King standing before the judgment-seat, and laying his neck upon a block—it was when the mangled remains of the Duke of Hamilton had just been laid in the tomb of his ancestors — it was when the head of Montrose had just been placed over the Tolbooth of Edinburgh—that the second century of your university's existence terminated.—(Hear, hear.) Another hundred years, and we have at length reached the commencement of happier days. The price with which our civil and religious liberties had been paid was a fearful price; but these liberties had been actually bought—that price ,had been actually paid. The last I British rebellion was over—the last battle bad been fought on British ground—the last black scaffold had been art up on Tower-hill. The evil days were over, and a bright and tranquil century a coitus) of toll rat len —of domestic peace a century 01 temperate freedom and of equal justice was begin ning. That century closes this year; and when we 1,, k back on it, and compare it with any equally long period in the history of any other great nation, we shall find abundant cause for gratitude to the Giver of all Good. —(gear, hear.) And nowhere, gentlemen, should that feeling bo stronger than here; for over the whole king dom I doubt whether there be any region which has shared so largely in the blessing of that progr.ss as has Clyth slile.—(Cheers.) And your University has par taken in the prosperity of your city and your neighbeur hood. The same tranquillity and security which have been propitious to the industry of the merchant and of the manufacturer, have been no less propitious to the indus try of the scholar. To the last century belong not all, but the greater part of those names which constitute the boast of the University. Time woull fail me were I to recount every one of the eminent men who, within that period, have taught or heard wisdom within these ancient walls. There were natural philosophers, moral philosophers, metaphysicians, jurists, philo logists, poets. There were Simpson and Miller, Young and Reid, Stewart and Black, whose diseovet ies consti tuted an era in chemical science. Adam Smith, whose doctrines constituted an era in polical science, and Jas. Watt—(Loud cheers)—who, perhaps, did more than any man since Bacon wrote the New Atlantis, to accomplish the glorious prophecy contained in that wonderful volume.—(Loud cheers.) I may add another name—a final name—that of Thomas Campbell.—(Cheers.) I was one of those who not long ago followed his coffin to the grave, in that illustrious transept where the ashes of Chaucer, of Spenser, and of Dryden are laid.—(Hear, hear, and sensation.) I will not carry the enumeration further. I think I have s a id enoug h t o j ust i fy a b oast that Glasgow now need fear no comparison even with Bologna.—(Hear and a laugh.) Another century is now about to commence—it is about to commas ce, as many well tell you, under melancholy auspices—but from me you must expect no such gloomy prognostica tions. I have heard them too long and too constantly to be scared by them. Since first I began to observe the state of my country, I have been seeing nothing but growth, and hearing of nothing but decay.—(Loud cheers.) But the more and the longer I contemplate our institutions,the more firm becomes my conviction that they are sound at heart, and that they have nothing of age —save its dignity.—(Cheers.) Their strength is still the strength of youth. We still see them standing ma jestic and immovable while dynasties and polities lie in heaps of ruin around.—(Cheers.) The hurricane which has recently overthrown so much which was great, and which seemed durable, has only proved their solidity, and I see no reason to doubt that by pursuing a good, and wise, and temperate policy—a policy of which the principle shall be to preserve what is good, by reforming in time what is evil—(Cheers)—that our institutions may descend, unimpaired, to a lute posterity; while, un der the shade of these political institutions, out educa tional institutions may long continue to flourish. I trust, then, that, during the next hundred yeats, and even after that time, that this celebrated school of learn ing will continue to deserve well of our country and of mankind. I trust that the installation of 1949 will be attended by an even larger assemblage of students than that which I have now the pleasure to see.—(Cheers.) It is possible that your desendants may not sit where you sit to-day. It is possible that these venerable walls may then have disappeared. It is possible that my successor may speak to your successors in a more stately edifice, which will be admired even amid the splendid buildings of the Glasgow of that day, as a fine specimen of the architecture which flourished in Eng land in the times of good Queen Victoria ; that though the site of your institution may have changed—though the walls of your institution may have changed, the spirit of your institution, I trust, will be- the same. —(Hear, hear.) 24) , successor will, I hope, tell your successors that the fifth cen t u ry nt ! the University has been not less glorious than the fourth, and he will, perhaps, point, in proof of that as sertion, to a long list of eminent men—to: great masters of our native the severer sciences, of an cient learning, the native eloquence—the ornaments of the senate, pul pit, and the bar. He will, I hope and bheilgiehveh,nnfenenlerhitm• h; self bound in justice to mention with names of some of my young friends who h are ing to me.—(Great cheering.)

Gentleman resumed his seat amid loud and long-con tinued applause.) The Rev, Parszcirei. then pronounced a short Latin benediction, and the proceedings terminated. f DS The appointment, by Goyernment, o. _r. Froude, whose book has attained such an enviable notoriety, to the headship of a college in Hobart Town, is said to have been cancelled. The preliminary proceedings said to have been taken to deprive him of his fellowship in Exeter College have been anticipated by his resignation, thus becoming fugitiTe frQW discipline."

LYCEUM THEATRE. Last evening one of those sparkling little pieces for the production of which the Vestris management is so remarkable, was represented at this elegant theatre with the most decided success. It is entitled Hold your Tongue. The plot rests on the indiscretion of Lady Ryder (Miss IL Gilbert), who is fresh from the country, and who ventures to go to a masquerade unknown to ber husband (Mr. Selby). Here, without any ill intentions, she contrives to make a kind of assignation with Capt. Vernon, (Mr. Parselle), who, in the dress of of a magician, has assisted her w hile fainting. This captain is a harmless personage, but one Lord Lurewell (Mr. Mathews), who is a sort of Lovlace, hearing of the adventure, boldly introduces himself to the laity by declaring that he is the magician. Ile meets his match in her confidential friend, Mrs. Lovejoy (Madame Vestris). one. of those gay reidona endowed with a good heart and a 1-eri perception of the world; who are so frequent in the old comedies. Mrs. L9vejoy soon perceives that Captain Vernon, whim she loves, is the real tnapi ,;ian, and she relieves her friend froth all tho embarrassment of her situation, by declaring that -he herself was the lady who made the assigna tion, and bestowing her hand upon the Captain. Phis outline of the plot will give a very faint notion of the ingenuity with which the details of the intrigue are managed. The dialogue is elegant and pointed —just what is required for this class of drama—and does great credit to the author, Mr. Planehi. Of the acting it Mr. C. Mathews and Madame Vestris it is impoasible to .peak too highly, and the talented author as indeed fortunate that he has had the services of two such an. complished artists to sustain the leading parts. We must also notice the performance of a very talented young actress—Miss J. Coleman—who sustained the hart of Slipper, a lady's maid, to admiration; there wan a vivacity and a pertness ahout this young lady's acting that was exceedingly amusing. Miss 11. Gilbert ac quitted herself with her usual ability. Mr. Selby and Mr. Parson() were each in their respective parts excel lent. Altogether it is one of the most successful bits of the season. The dresses were beautiful, and the stage appointments, it is needless to say, were appropriate. The piece was given out for repetition every evening amidst the applause of a crowded and fashionable audience. MR. HUDSON AND THE YORK, NEWCASTI S, , AND BERWICK RAILWAY CODIPANY.—We are informed, On what we believe to be the most undoubted authority, that the committee which was appointed at the last halt yearly meeting to inquire into the purchase of the shares of the Great North of England Railway by this com pany have completed their inquiry, and come to the conclusion that Mr. Hudson is entirely guiltless of the (barges which have been so unsparingly made against him with regard to that purchase. We are informed, however, that there was a mistake of 2,5004 in the amount paid to Mr. Hudson for the shares sold by bim, owing to the parties who were employed to calculate what that gentleman ought to receive having added, in stead of subtracted, the rebate of interest on the prin cipal sum; but there is no reason to suppose that Mr. Hudson was at all aware of the mistake having been made until after his attention was called to the particular circumstances attending the sale by what occurred at the meeting at which the committee of shareholders was appointed.
