MR. LAYARD'S INSTALLATION AT ABERDEEAr. ABERDEEN, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, Mr. Layard, Lord Rector of Marischal College and University, was installed this afternoon, in the presence of one of the most distinguished assemblages evergathered within the magnificent public ball of the new buildings. At 12 o'clock, the Lord Provost, magistrates and coun cil of the city were conducted to the platform, followed . by the Principal of the College, accompanied by Mr. Layard in his robe of office, and attended by Sir Andrew Hay, Sir John Ogilvie, assessors, and all the professo rs of the University, i n procession. Mr. Layard was cre ceived with gre a t a p p l ause on entering t h e hall, and hailed by the students with enthusiasm. The Very Rev. Principal DEWAR c onstituted the meet ing by prayer, and Dr. CEUIcKsHANS, Secretary to College and U n i vers i ty, admin i stere d the oath of office. Mr. LAYARD then stood forward to address the audi ence, and was rece i ve d w i t h p ro longed applause.teir power to Invest ed with the hi g h est dignity whi-ch it was in h bestow, ho noure d w i t h s helr confidence, and welcomed with a generous synspathy that almost overpowered him, he was more than at aloes toaed been rdeep xp esshis sense of the laid by his election obligation under which he had to the high office of Lord Rector of that ancient and honourable university. To all of them he was personally unknown ; for the first time he had that day visited their renowned city—yea, he might almost say for the first time he had crossed their borders. He must owe proud position he held to other than person a l reasons, the and he would fain hope, and indeed did believ e , th a t i t was because they had faith in his honesty and integrity of pur pose.—because they would mark their approval of the Course which, as a public man, he had pursued, and would encourage him to persevere in it, and becausethey ware of opinion that his labours in another and scarcely less arduous field had not been attended with unsuccess ful results, that they had been led to confer upon him the distinguished honour be enjoyed that day. (Applause.) He did feel most deeply grateful for this honour. They little knew how much a public man, situ ated as he was, stood in need of such proofs of approba tion and encouragement—how grateful they were to him, and for how many painful struggles and hitter hours they afforded a more than entire compensation. (Cheers.) These honours, too, were valuable, b ecause t h ey ma d e many a man feel that, whatever his abilities might be, if he pursued with honesty and straightforwardness the path of duty, without turning to the right or the left— neither intimidated by menace nor seduced by bribes — his countrymen were ready to cheer him onwards in his arduous and too often painful task. (Cheers.) He could not help remarking that these were no ordinary times when they had done him the great honour to select him to fill the important office be then held. He could not but look upon his election at. such a crisis as that in which the country was placed as more than commonly signifi cant. He could not otherwise reconcile himself to the fact of his name having been brought forward in opposition to that of a gentleman cf such high standing and such remarkable acquirements as their late Lord Rector, to whose courtesy and kindly feeling to himself during the late contest he could most cheerfully bear testimony ; and therefore he felt that he must, look forward to duties and responsibilities as likely to devolve upon him, re garding the great interests of the country as well as the local interests of the college, which it would be his aim faithfully to discharge. (Cheers.) After referring in very eloquent terms to the talents and acquirements of his more immediate pradecessors, Mr. Layard proceeded to say that education--practical education —was the great question of the day. "This subject," he said, "I firmly believe to be one of the utmost importance at this moment—one well deserving the thoughtful and earnest consideration of every one truly anxious for the welfare of his country, jealous of her renown, and trembling lest, unhappily, she should fall from her an cient greatness. It is only when great emergenciesa.rise that nations, as well as individuals, know what is re quired of them, and what they are capable of effecting. Such an emergency —one almost unparalleled in the his t3ry of our country—has arisen. We are engaged in a great war, after a long peace. It is, perhaps, well for us that the emergency has occurred before it is too late to meet it. No impartial man will venture to assert that we have not been found wanting. The reputation of this great empire has, to a certain extent, been tar nished; and its high estate among the nations of the earth has been shaken. In a moment of national diffi culty and danger we have been found unequal to the duties which are imposed upon us. To account for so great a calamity—for calamity it undoubtedly is—we musi seek for the evil at home. While we have undoubt edly to deplore as the cause of enormous evils the reckless manner in which merit is overlooked in public employments, and is passed over to satisfy private and party interests and influences—a subject upon which I do not wish to dwell I believe that among , the most prominent and immediate causes of our misfor tune, will be found the defective condition of our system of national or State education. It may seem strange that I should venture to make such an assertion in the middle of the 19th century, when I may be reminded that at no period of our history has education been more general, or been brought more within the reach of all classes. But a vicious application of the very best prin ciple may be the cause of as much evil as its right ap plication would be of good. After all, the test of na tional education must be its result upon the national character and upon the condition of the people. Unless that result be to raise us as a nation—to make us more wise, more honest, more capable of filling that station which Providence assigns to a truly civilised and edu cated people—national education is of little comparative value. If our educational system should tend rather to enervate than to strengthen the mind—if we should find that the intellectual powers with which God has endowed us are rather paralysed than brought into full vigour— if it should appear that it rather favours error than en courages truth—surely we may, well infer that there is something essentially wrong in that system. I fear there is too much reason to suspect that the evils to which I have alluded have already, to a certain extent, ensued, and that they may extend still further. I believe that our present system of education is rather directed to the overcharging of the memory than to the true culti vation of the intellect and strengthening and discipline of the mind—that it is leading us t• treat men as mere machines, rather than as reflective responsible beings. Now, there never had been a stronger desire to promote education everywhere than at present, and much, very much, had been done to promote it both in England and Scotland of late years, but though it had been shown that the number of youths under education had increased, there was reason to fear that the quality had not kept pace with the quantity enjoyed. If they did too much to educate the memory and too little to educate the judgment, they would cramp the mind • and if the mind were to be cramped by the mere acquisition of isolated facts it would be as effectually injured as by ignorance. He had seen in public examinations of schools in England much readiness displayed by children, which, on closer examination, turned out to be mere feats of memory, mere tricks, enabling the children to alums- difficult questions, but which, unconnected with any logical process of the reason, when once forgotten, left them in their original stat e o f i gnorance. The end therefore, of education had not in these cases been at tained. Against this he warned them. He did not say it WitiA generally characteristic of our system of public edu cation, but he feared it was too commonly so, and where it did prevail he felt that even self-instruction was on many accounts to be preferred to it. They generally found that great writers, great inventors, great thinkers, and great public benefactors had been men who had struggled against overwhelming difficulties, and had to rely entirely on themselves to form their own characters and to educate their own minds ; and it was such a system of education as would stimulate those qualities of the mind which led to self-reliance which he desiderated as the great want of the present age. This was the great defect of modern education, and had perhaps more than anythiug else led to that system of "red-tapism" and "routine"—that blind and unreason ing adherence to mere form and rule--through which menhad become as it were parts of a mac hi ne, i nstead offree, intelligent, reasoning, and practical beings. If this system was carried out to the extent which some seemed to desire, there was no despotism the world ever saw could be so terrible in its consequences upon the human mind and upon the character of a nation. (Cheers.) The best and most general system of educa tion would he of no avail against it. A man might have the powers of a giant, while he could not do the wo r k h of a dwarf." (Cheers.) The on. gentleman continued— "We have received a terriblewarning. Let it not be thrown away upon us.

If these be not the reasons, why have a few generous and noble hearted men—and wemen, too—who have faced dangers, dared disease, taken upon themselves responsibilities, relied upon their own exertions, not upon rules—ho w have they, I ask, with slender means, despite frequently of discouragement and opposition, awl entirely without Government support, alleviated the sufferings and saved the lives of thousands of our unhappy countrymen ?" I have said that the true object of history is to teach na tions their responsibilities, and to be a warning to such as would forget those great principles which must guide communities as well as individuals. This is equally the main object of all those studies and pursuits which are connected with history, otherwise they would be, to a great extent, idle and profitless. The antiquary, who toils to trace the relics of a past civilisation, and to in trestigate ancient manners, or who digs into the bosom of the earth to seek the remains of long-lost empires, and the numismat who collects and decyphers the coins of OZtinct dynasties, are little better than the school-boy THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING-.

I trust that even in the discharge of public duty, and in endeavouring to form my character as a public man, they will prove to me a continual warning, that the fate which befell Nineveh and Babylon may befall the mightiest of nations, when public virtue is no longer held in honour, when great principles no longer guide its councils, and when the public weal is sacrificed and made subservient to private interests. It is thus that archeology, when studied in a proper spirit, blends with history, and offers even a more instructive and solemn lesson than the most eloquent of writings. I speak from experience, as well as from deep conviction. Few men have had more occasion than I have had, to reflect upon the fall of nations, to seek for the causes of their decay, and to muse over the worthless ness of riches, and the hollowness of wordly pomp. The plains of Babylonia, fretted with their numberless canals now choked with sand, and no longer nourishing the thirsty soil; the vast monuments of Assyria, now buried deep in earth ; the palaces of the king of kings, now marked by a few solitary columns, and the resting-places of wandering tribes ; the graceful temples of the Greeks, now hid by the rank grass ; the colonial greatness of Imperial Rome, its forums and theatres still standing majestically, but now silent, in a desert. What has brought about these mighty changes—to what are we to attribute this havoc ? Sure these are no vain ques tions at such a crisis as the present in our country's his tory. For what good end has Providence permitted these solemn relics of fallen greatness to struggle with decay —for what good purpose has he permitted us in these days to recover from their long-forgotten graves the skeletons of great empires ? Is it not that we should in time take warning by their fate, and that, having those solemn lessons before us, we should seek to avoid those vices and corruptions which led to their overthrow ? When I see, as I have of late seen, Ministers of State in Parliament seeking to justify disasters, and to exten uate fatal errors, disgraceful to us as a nation, and fraught with the greatest peril, by referring to calamities and events which occurred half a century ago, I naturally ask myself, why was history written? Is it to afford us a justification or a warning ? Are we to appeal to it, after national dishonour and ruin, or before they over take us, that we may be saved from them I If to justify our national vices and misconduct is the only object of history, then I care not if every history that has ever been written be consigned to the flames. Of what use, then, the eloquent pages of Thucydides, the glowing epi sodes of Livy, the varied learning of Gibbon, the philo sophical disquisitions of your own Robertson and Eume? If they be treasured but for the mere gratification of the fancy, or to excite the imagination, the romanceand the Arabian tale would suit as well. No I History has a higher and a nobler aim--he has recorded on her impe rishable tablets the deeds of the great, the excellence of national virtue, and the rewards of patriotism, that she mightfurnish the model and be an encouragement t, g, eat, virtuous, and patriotic men. Sb.e has described in burn ing words successful struggles for liberty, and the happi ness and prosperity of free nations, that nations yet un born might strive to be free. She has traced with un willing pen the decay of public virtue, the dishonesty of statesmen, and the loathsome details of corruption, hurrying States to utter ruin, that na ti ons y e t to come might honour public virtue, be jealous of the character of theirs who guide their counsels,and abominate csrrup tion. She has pointed with melancholy earnestness to the tomb of fallen greatness, as a warning for all time that the immutable laws of God, which govern both the moral and physical world, cannot be outraged with impunity. Such are the objects and ends of history. It is because they are such,that her votaries have been ranked amongst the instructors and benefactors of mankind. As I have already remarked, these are not idle reflections at such a moment as this. I fear that we have too evident proof of the necessity of bearing them constantly in our mind —or bringing them daily before us. Oa such an occasion as the present, it would be indecorous in me to touch upon subjects which are, by common consent, placed within-the domain of politics. But still I cannot refrain from some allusion to events which have occurred within the last few months, and now belong to history —everts which we have witnessed, and to which, therefore, we may not attach their full importance, although they will ever fill one of the most prominent places in the eventful history of this mighty empire. No man, however proud of his country, can deny that we have partly fallen from our high estate. We may gloss over failures—we may dwell upon heroic deeds—deeds unequalled in the records of the most heroic nations, to make us forget for a mo ment national humiliation ; but the broad and naked facts will remain, and no self-blindness of our own, no spe cious reasoning, will remove them from history, or give them any other colour than that which they deserve. With the truthfulness of the sus-picture they are already imprinted upon the scroll of time. And to what, then, are we not bound to ask, are to be attributed these results I Is it not to a violation of those great principles which can alone give true strength and prosperity to a State ? Is it not to a sacrifice of great public interests to unworthy influences ? There is no man bold enough to say that such is not the case. To you, therefore, most appropriately these remarks be addressed. I am speaking to young men who are about to engage in the battle of life. It is almost enough to know that you are Scotchmen, to feel that there are few of you who will not, by patient industry, per severance, and self-denial secure success, and attain to eminence in the career on which you may enter.

I SPORTING NOTES. MEETINGS DURING THE EASTER WEEK, Turfites will enjoy their Easter holidays after their own peculiar fashion. Whilst cockneys are revelling in the riot and glare of Greenwich fare, sauntering along the galleries of the Crystal Palace, or strolling amidst the shrubs and budding flowers of Cremorne, they will be inhaling the fresh quickening breeze of Newmarket heath, and watching with eager anxiety the achieve. ments of certain Derby candidates. Southern sports men, however, will not have a monopoly of racing, for meetings are also appointed to be holden in the North. At Durham, on Monday and Tuesday, and Catterick Bridge, Wednesday and Thursday, some stirring and interesting sport will be celebrated, and its success will be scarcely affected by the " fixtures" clashing with the " Craven." Under the new arrange ment, too, the first of a new series of meetings will be held on Monday and Tuesday, at Newton. By the way, I had almost forgotten to mention that for the special delectation of the " Sheffield blades," a little go affair will come off on Monday and Tuesday, at Newhall. By these statements it will appear that the " calendar of sport" for the ensuing week is unusually heavy. Should the promise set forth by the Craven programme be realised the sport at Newmarket will possess extra ordinary and enduring interest. The list of engagements contains the names of many of the principal Derby horses. On Monday Paros and Bonnie Morn have an "appointment" over the D. M. Affghan, a "dark horse," Flatterer, and Bessie are also entered for a Sweepstakes on the opening day. On Tuesday the Newmarket Handicap will, of course, be the leading attraction. On Wednesday The Column, for which report states that Rambling Kate is a certain starter, and Bonnie Morn a probable absentee, will perhaps afford a stirring encounter. A Handicap Plate is set for Thursday, on which day Gra3culus Esuriens has an engagement, for which, however, it is doubtful whether he will be brought out. On Friday the princi pal event will be The Port Stakes, for which Virago, King Torn, Acrobat, and six others are entered. The above remarks will indicate the principal " features" of the programme. I shall now merely direct attention to Monday's races, intending to despatch my notes on the other events from Newmarket on Monday morning. This arrangement will enable me to pick up many scraps of inf , rmation, and make a tour d' inspection at head quarters. Of the ten events appointed for the Opening-day' four are enclosed. The Bennington Stakes will be some what interesting, for it will, perhaps, bring out Habena, Corcebus, Harry of Hereford, Antoinette, and Socinian. The race, however, may be virtually reduced to a match between Habena and Corcebus. For the 100 Soy.. Sweepstakes I may throw in with the Tumbler. My next " fancy" is for the Refraction colt. The 50 Sovs. Sweep stakes will, perhaps, be carried off by the representative of Dockeray's stable—either Pyrrhic or Antoinette. For the 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes for three-yr-old colts and fillies are entered Afghan, who has been much talked about, Flatterer, Bessie, and Para. Should Flatterer start, he shall be my champion. My NOTIONS ABOUT NEWTON may be briefly ex pressed. Of the thirteen nominations for the Trial Stakes I shall select the three top weights—Lancashire Lass, Young Hack, and Dear Me—to represent my interest. Stork will doubtless carry off the Golborne Stakes. Wadlow has a formidable "lot" In the South Lancashire Tradesmen's Plate, comprising Alonzo, Kite flyer, and Master Slender, one of whom, perhaps the first-mentioned, will doubtless be the winner. If Cimicina be recovered from the effect of bursting a blood vessel at Northampton, she may be the successful com petitor for the Manor Handicap. Little Tom Cliff, how ever, may have luck with his new purchase, Romeo. The next animal worthy of notice is Stork. With the " jumpers" I shall not interfere. THE DOINGS AT DIIIIHI3f will, doubtless, possess con siderable local interest. The list of sport comprises ten items. Cherry Brandy will, perhaps, open the ball successfully by winning the Trial Stakes. Should Bolton be brought out to do battle for the handicap, I should calculate with some certainty upon hii success. In his absence the leading competitors may be Caliph and Gamelad. The running for the North Durham Handi cap will be materially regulated by the result of the Durham Handicap. I will publish my anticipatory remarks anent the sport at Catterick, with my despatch from Newmarket, on Monday. April 7. A FRESH MAN. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The following opinion has been given by Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., upon the documents and certiScates sub mitted to him : "I have perused the certificates from Liverpool, and the statement of the evidence which has been procured, and am of opinion that they are not sufficient to sustain an in dictment with any hope of success against the parties sup posed to be implicated in this transaction. " EDWIN " Home Circ u it, Ki ngston, April 6, 1855 JAMES, Q.C. _ . . We think it fair to Thomas Harrison, the party to whom Mr. John Scott entrusted the mare, to publish the subjoined declaration made by him on Monday last : "I, Thomas Harrison, of Norton, near Mallon, in the county of York, groom, do solemnly and sincerely declare, that on Monday morning, the sth of March last, Mr. John Scott entrusted to my care Mr. Mason's steeple chase mare, ' Miss Mowbray,' and directed me to take her to Liverpool by the railway; that I did so, and arrived at Dr. Wood's, at Aintree, about four o'clock in the afternoon of that day; that I never left the mere from that time until she was mounted for the race, and that no person had access to her whilst she was under my charge, except Mr. Mason and the friends he brought with him, and that neither directly nor indirectly do I know of any improper or un fair treatment being resorted to, to prevent the mare f rom winning the race. And I make: this solemn declaration, conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an act made and passed in the fifth and sixth years of the reign of his late Majesty, Willihm the Fourth, intituled, 'An Act to repeal an Act of the present Session of Parliament, intituled, " An Act for the more effectual Abolition of Oaths and Affirmations taken and infulq in varinna rinnarfninnta of tr e, : e entire Suppression of voluntary and ex 4 ra juid,:ial Oaths and Affidavits;" and to make other provisions for the abo lition of unnecessary Oaths.' "THOMAS HARRISON. "Declared at the Police-court, Marlborough-street, this 2d day of April, 1855, before me, Hardwick, magistrate for the Metropolitan Police District." TURF DEFALCATION.—A paragraph has been going the round of the daily papers stating that the son of a sporting peer has decamped, leaving behind him liabi'i ties to the extent of nearly a hundred thousand pounds ! As the affair has become the general topic of conversa tion in racing circles, we consider it necessary, in justice to many noblemen and gentlemen, upon whom the igno rant might innocently fix the stain, to state that the party referred to is the Hon. F—s V--s, whose absence from the country causes a vacancy in the list of stewards of the Jockey Club, which, in all probability, will be filled up during the approaching Craven Meet ing.—Bell's RACING CONDITIONS.—We consider it our duty to suggest to race committees and clerks of courses the ex pediency of revising, in the "conditions " of their meet ings, the clause referring to disputes, wherein it stipulates that the decision of the stewards " shall be final." At many meetings, especially in the provinces, stewards are selected from gentlemen of interest and position in the district, totally ignorant of the simplest rules of the Turf—consequently, to allow such authorities (?) to de cide " fine points " in racing is as ridiculous as it is un just. Last year no fewer then ten wrong and illegal de cisions were given by country stewards, against which the injurel parties, by—in many instances unwittingly —subscribing to the condition in question, were deprived of the power of appeal to the proper tribunal.—Bell's Life.

The Countess of Sefton corroborated the evidence given, and stated that her father's mind was perfectly sound at the time he made his will. The Earl of Derby was the next witness examined. He deposed to having consented to become one of the trustees under the will of the late Mr. Hopwood. He saw him in London in the beginning ofJuly. He called at St. James's-place with Lady Sefton. At that time he was very feeble in body, and was a long time in com ing into the room—so much so that be went forward to meet him, when he immediately began to say something about thanking him. Witness told him not to think of such a thing. Had a conversation with Mr. Hop wood for about twenty minutes. There was nothing in the conversation that would exhibit the power g s nhcdo o wou f rwesr h reai i ses s mind or the vigour of his intellect ; but it was clear he whilstd u his understood all that he (Lord Derby) said. He carried on a rational conversation without o.ifficulty, and clearly o o — f perfectly t ivt h .th eaeir,e:iownTcalvtes,etairnirsi andet3,wiconversation , wandering perfectlylAdmiral r me in irglaskedo or wavering. ytr aboutl i,gapiahnsltdecoh capable al ' s r Bs l bes h n mlve e ßeirny n oa . the nft which Lord Derby had in training. f an i‘ d ir. he ll : m e n x i a n i d n examined as to perfectly sound, and he was in London during 1853.

He was an old man of 80 years ; but he had no hesitation► in saying his mind was perfectly sound. Mr. Parke, surgeon, West Derby, the medical atten dant at Croxteth, gave evidence as to Mr. Hopwood being of sound mind up to March, 1852, when he last saw him. Mr. William Stott also gave evidence to the same effect. The depositions of J. J. Hornby, Edwin Hornby, and Edmund Woodhouse were put in and read, also Mr. Hopwood's will, dated April 29, 1829, and the three codicils. This closed the case for the plaintiff. The court adjourned at a quarter past six o'clock to half-past nine NI Saturday morning. 77!7 7 7 - 1 o 7 r , r) T 7 . ea rr TT ST. JAMES'S PALACE, APRIL 5.
