On Thursday, thd Inauguration of Mr. Campboll 4 as Lord Rector of our University, took place; and, from the circumstances that distinguished his elec tion, as well as those that preceded his arrival in Glasgow, the most powerful sensation pervaded the College, and the public generally. A visit from the Author of " The Pleasures of Hope"—a Poem which, though it is often too elaborate in its phrase, and recondite in its imagery, is, undoubtedly, one of the noblest specimens of ethical or political poetry in our language—a visit from one of the most dis tinguished of our countryman, to the place of his birth and education, after a long career in the me tropolis of the general Empire, had connected his name with the literature of the hge, and extended the reputation of his public spirit to the very ends of the earth—returning as Lord Rector to that city, which, a few years back, he had quitted as a humble student, with no wealth but that of honesty, no power but that of genius, no prospect but that of immortality--taking his place at the head of that University, whose junior alumnus he once deemed it an honour to become—and so doing, in defiance of all the little, vulgar, servile intolerance that, for a while, arrayed itself ? against him , until the mere ascendancy of genius over " young hearts" joined him to the long catalogue of illustrious names that grace the rectoridl dynasty—all this, we say, could not fail to throw around his visit a poetic interest, that involved in it the triumph of liberal principles, and the glory of our native land. So far as the crowded state of the room enabled us to take notes, Mr. Campbell spoke as follows : " Students.— I am come, at your own generous and hospitable invitation, to return thanks for the honour you have done me, in electing me your Rector, and I express a conscious feeling, when I say it is the greatest honour ever done me—(Cheers.) —lt will not be imagined that I speak without emo tion. If to enter this hall, and look around me on the olden scene, be to recall my most pleasing asso ciations—and to recall the images of your fathers and the friends of my youth—what measure of sen sation can be too great to give response to the kind ness which has prompted the young generation now before me—the sons of these my fellow-students, to bestow on me this their highest dignity. " I am no ascetic, that would pretend to conceal the expression of my natural feelings; neither would I indulge complacency in estimating my honour— for if I came with any such forward feeling, or any but unfeigned reverence for the so lemn recollections which this bench inspires, the genius of the place would overawe me, and rebuke me back to silence. " Aware of accidental Prejudices that may have operated against me, I am, at the same time, grateful for the kindly prejudices of young hearts that coun teracted them; for it is the choice of ingenious minds, not swayed by power or wealth, and I value it accordingly. " Students ! I am not barely entitled, but bound, to hail, and hold you as my friends. An alumnus of this college, and by experience taught to sympathise with Students, I can speak to you with a kind of fellowship, and I do so from custom on these occa sions, rather than the hope of adding to the instruc tions of those Learned Professors, respect fdr whom forms an indelible part of your character. What I say cannot obliterate their instruction, and may add force to it, from the casual circumstance of time and place. " Students! I congratulate you as members of an antient, honoured, and useful University—one of those institutions that have improved modern man. It was through her Universities that Europe distin guished between the light of truth and the falseLfer yours of bigotry. The antients had a li g ht, b u t one that discovered evil—portentous of crime ! " Non salis ac liquida,' &c. Every one knows that when superstition had walked abroad, covered with the stolen vestments of religion, human learn ing tore them aside, and emancipated the world. What Wickliffe began at Oxford, passed over to Bohemia, and thence returned to our own shores; and though our own University is not one of the most ancient, yet it preceded . the Reformation ; and a relish for learning led the way to a general eman cipation of the human mind. Though Ido not in tend to bring it into an odious comparison with the institutions of England, that have formed the intellectual character of that majestic race of men, yet I may remark, that all your Professors lecture daily, which might be imitated with advantage by these great institutions. " Amongst our Professors, we can enumerate names above the meed of praise, as they are above detraction ; and, I am bold to affirm, that the dynasty of professional talent is not to degenerate ; for re are to remember, that neither the glory of dead men's names, nor any such ideal sources can, of themselves, animate the character of the student, without industry during that season of youth, the bitter fruits of mis-spending which are so obvious as to he lost eight of by their common occurrence; like the great tree in St. Paul's Church-yard, concern ing which so many wagers have been gained and lost. It would be easy, no doubt, to invest this topic with a gloomy interest, by tracing the life of a man to its end, in order to discover the bitter fruits of bad education. But we will not appeal to the ignoble principle of fear ; for though I might repre sent this to you, my young friends—since the inti mation would be all but welcome, and its colours all but bright—l will not do so. And, let me say, it is not a want of boldness and vigour I most admire in youth ; the want may present a negative quality; it may, however, prevent a positive acquirement— however long be the attainment of that. Yet a de sire of knowledge for its own sak e is the only sure means of gaining it : for learning, is a proud mis tress, and will not he courted it;r her dowry, or her family connections, or for the sake of s.how ing her in public, but for her own sacred self. This love of learning is natural. It springs from our interest in this magnificent creation—our fondness for truth, and it hardly conceives itself misapplied when indulging the airy dream of fiction. At the same time, this love does not spring up to the dignity of a passi on till the m i n d has acqui re d t h e dignity of maturity. Voltaire tells us of a youth whom he almost considered b orn with experience.' Preco cious indeed is that talent that can boast of but a few of the effects of experience—and a l as ! we have now no such intellectual heroes, born with this wie. .13 ful commodity..--(A laugh and cheers.)—There is a stage of intellectual advancement, to which 119 talent, however precocious, can be conceived to at tain, without the demanded process. It is that ardour with which an accomplished mind awaits the next acquisition of new ideas, or the appearance of the next new book, to a legree equal to that with which the gainer awaits the transmission of his lot tery prise. In short, I rather augur well of the mind that displays a restlessness than ill. Youth are apt to be too nice about the subject of their studies; but let me advise you to give your whole attention to that within your reach, and care not whether you acquire your ideas by one means or by another. I should also recommend a certain mix ture of studies. Weak minds might doubtless be confounded by variety of objects of thought; but a mind of any strength comes home to its more im mediate study refreshed by a range of collateral thought. "Knowledge has now but few real enemies—and there are none who do not consider it as power.' No man would lay the axe to the tree—nor would any man wish to break a single bough, though in all its twigs there grew not a laurel for him. Sca ligar gained nothing by his absurd diatribe against the mathematics ; and Dean Swift and Dr. Johnson, in their remarks upon the natural sciences, disco vered nothing but their overweening vanity in their own pursuits. I know that there is a spirit at pre sent in existence that sets itself against classical learning. I advise you to meddle not with it; but content yourselves that you are not applying at aught but the true fountain of knowledge and vir tue. I should not fear for that mind that I saw anxious for the right course, though it might lose itself in a wrong one. To the boy poet I would say, Go on—but forget not that learning can alone give your poetry its enduring quality. Our great George Buchanan considered he gave a poet his proudest . title when •he called him 'learned.' I should find my greatest cause for fear in a mind given to the puerile ornament, or the flimsy declamation—l would find my greatest cause for fear, in that mind obsti nately adopting its own defect, and really afterwards considering that a merit which it cannot now see to be a defect—like the juggler who should accomplish his own prophecy; or the blundering physician, who should on signs of recovery, dispatch his patient be. cause it had been his learned opinion he was incu rable.—(A laugh.) " Such of you as have been but shortly in this Institution, I will advise not to be ashamed of a little learning. Many wise individuals think a little learn ing useless; and some, in their wisdom, call it dangerous,' with much the same correctness as a little virtue could be called dangerous.' To de spise a little learning is like the action of the indivi dual who should shut up his windows because they were too narrow, or that the glass had not the powers of a telescope. Despise pedantry as much as you please; but adopt not this miserable principle. In your studies, I would not advise that formal di vision of labour that keeps the pin manufactory in such exact order. Newton made geometry illustrate physical science; and Richter, in later times, has followed up the.great example. Let the mind have its choice as far as possible; and however numerous may be the subjects it may go into—however dis tracted the rays of truth may be that it gathers from them—doubt not they will one day blend them selves into the white light of inspiration l—think not the stream. of study will be shallower by its ex pansion ; be confident rather that, with a mind de voted to its subject, it will be profounder from its breadth. " I am afraid I have taxed your patience a little too much ; and I would not, while my delight is to express my feelings to you, wish to fatigue my young friends. In conclusion, I hold it no profane allusion to the Giver of all Mercies, to pray that his blessing may be among you." We should remark that the Common Hall, which, by the liberality of the Professors, was thrown open to the public at three o'clock, soon became exces sively thronged, and a scene of much confusion, in consequence of some persons obtruding themselves into the seats appropriated to the Latin and Greek classes. Tho Greek Professor was greatly annoyed, and even insulted, by some strangers, which, of course, enkindled the indignation of the students, and, at one time, from the spreading of the flame to the students of Natural Philosophy, and the apparent determination to clear the Hall of strangers, amid the clamour of the College Officers endeavouring to restore peace, and a general rush of the Students towards the centre of the conflict, every thing seemed preparing for an imitation of the old Oxonian controversy between town and gown. Or der was, however, speedily restored, and the pro cession having: entered, the ceremony of taking the oaths, &c. was performed amidst the tumultuous ap plause of the assembly. Mr. CAMPBELL, whose discourse was frequently interrupted by shouts of approbation, spoke with much feeling and gravity, but at times appeared to labour under some embarrassment. We arc bound like wise to say, that the attention of the Professors appears to have been of the most polite and ho nourable kind. CuosisTA.—On Sunday last, two parsons made a profession of the Catholic faith in the Chapel of Crosna, Parish of Ardcarna. They were of the pretended Refor mists, and seemed to express a most sincere regret for their disingenious desertion of a church of whose tenets they declared they never entertained the slightest doubt. The Rev. Mr. Boyd made a very appropriate and eloquent dis course on the occasion. His apology for his penitents was truly affecting.—Dublin Morning Register. Teodolinda 11--, a young woman of rank, had been attached to a French officer, from the year 1806 till 1814; when, during the carnival of this latter year, she discovered at one of the masked halls, that her lover had transferred his adorations to the Princess N. Colonel Male!ere, her faithless lover, on returning home at five in the morning, found a letter written in bad French, demanding satisfaction for an insult not specified, and call ing upon him, as a man of honour, to repair immediately with pistols and a friend to the Cassines des Pommes, (the Chalk Farm of Milan.) Accompanied by a friend, he went to the place appointed, and found as his antagonist a man of rather diminutive stature, enveloped in furs, for the morning was cold and snowy. As the second of the un known adversary stated that the affair would admit of no accommodation, the pistols were charged and the ground measured. When the little man was led up to his posi tion, Malciere now having a nearer view of him, recogniz ed, hint to be Teodolinda R—, his mistress. Ile endea voured to turn the matter off with a jest, but she over whehned him with the most bitter expressions of contempt; and as h e endeavoured to diminish the interval that sepa rated them, she e xclaimed—" Approach not, or I shall tire upon you 1" and her second had no little difficulty in per suading her that she had not the right to do so. "Is it my fault that he does not lire ?" said she ; and then turn ing to 11Ialelerc, s aid—" Monster ! you have done me the greatest of injuries—you now say the contest is an unequal one; well, then, -let but one of the pistols be leaded, and let US fire at three paces distance. I atn determined not to return alive to Milan, or else to carry thither the news of your d e ath, and announce it to the Princess Should I cause you to be poniarded, as I might easily do by one o f my Bali (hired bravoes), I should be called an assa ssi n fight, then, base and cowardly traitor !" These f ac t s w ere told me in presence of the person who served as her second on the occasion. " I always thought," he ob served, that Teodolinda was resolved not to survive this circumstance.--However she did ; but, notwithstanding her youth and beauty, she remained inconsolable for three years—an astonishing length of time, in a country where constancy of resolution is not supported by vanity. She occupied herself in learning Latin and English, and teach ing them to her little daughters.--Shendahrs Rome ; 6-c. EXPEDITION TO THE NORTH POLL The official letter addressed by Captain Parry to the First Lord of the Admiralty, wherein his plans are'detailed, is a curious and interesting document. It is as follows : TO THE RIGHT HON. VISCOUNT MELVILLE, PLC. (Copy) "Admiralty, 13th April, 1826. ".My Lord—Among the enterprises which yet remain unaccomplished, and of which the object is to complete our knowledge of the surface of the globe, it appears to me that theie is none more desirable to be undertaken, and (con sidering the nature of such enterprises) few so easily prac ticable, as an attempt to reach the North Pole of theearth. Having long been in the habit of contemplating such an enterprise, and being confirmed in my own opinion of its practicability by a written plan of Captain Franklin, now in my possession, I beg leave to lay before your Lordship my views on this interesting subject. " There can be no doubt of the practicability of reach ing, in any year (as is the annual custom of the whalers) that part of Spitsbergen, called Cloven Cliff,' lying .in latitude 79. 52., about the middle or towards the close , of May ; so that the party might set off to the north ward on the Ist of June. The distance of Cloven Cliii from the Pole is 600 miles. " The method which I consider a practicable one of ac complishing the proposed object, is by means of boats having ‘. runners' attached to them in 'the manner o! sledges, so as to admit of their being hauled over the ice when no open water presented itself, and again launched at pleasure. The frame of these boats, which I propose should be two in number, should consist of larch OT hickory, so as to be at once light, tough, and rather flexi ble. The principal fastenings to be of copper, of the least brittle kind, and the rest to be lashings of thong, so as to render the whole as yielding and elastic as possible, con sistently with sufficient strength and stiffness. This frame being covered with leather,. or some such material (to be determined on by experiment), a boat would thus be formed, resembling the Russian baidar, in which long coasting voyages are performed, or the surf-boats at Ma - Ora., and in every respect suited to the intended purpose. " The number of individuals I should propose to be employed on this service is twenty-four—namely, two officers and ten men to constitute each boat's crew. An nexed to this letter is a het of the articles required on such an expedition ; also an estimate of the weight of each, together with a further explanation of some of the details to which I beg to refer your Lordship. " In this estimate provision has been made for seventy two days, at a full and ample allowance, of every articl, which is known by experience to be required on such so occasion during a polar summer. This interval of time would make it necessary to traverse 163- miles per day it order to effect the proposed object, which (unless favourer; by considerable extents of open water) is perhaps too mud} to expect to accomplish. But having on repeated trials, found that seven days such allowance may without any pri vation whatever, be extended to nine days, I feel confident that the supply mentioned in the estimate, aided by birds. seals, &c. would be found quite sufficient far ninety-twe days, reducing the daily distance to IS miles. " Au oilskin cover completely over the boats, answering also the purpose of a sail when required, would make the people comfortable during the time of rest, each man being provided with his blanket bag, and a suit of extra clothing as a dry shift. " From my knowledge of the qualities of the Esquimanr dogs, I am inclined to think that the object might be ma terially assisted by employing from twelve to twenty of these useful animals for draught;' a portion of food might be taken for them, and more would probably be procured as the party advanced ; but even in case of the failure of then provisions, the flesh of the dogs themselves would furnish no inconsiderable addition to that of the men. " In ease either of meeting with an island or of find ing ice which appears to he perpetually fixed or firmly grounded, an obvious part of the plan would be to leav, there considerable portion of the baggage on the out ward passage, to be taken up on their return so as ti be enabled to push on snore rapidly. It is 1110E8 than probable, that the party would find some such mode o. disencumbering themselves of a part of their baggage ; besides the certain daily diminution of weight (amounting to sixty pounds,) occasioned by the expenditure of provi sions, fuel, &c. " To enable the party to take advantage of the season, it would he necessary for a ship to leave England with them about the beginning of April, so as to reach Stbee renburgli, towards the first week in May. By tin middle of that month the whalers usually advance as fat as Cloven Cliff. As it would be proper for the ship to bi somewhat strengthened for resisting the ice, I beg ti suggest that the fleela would, in every respect, be well adapted to this service, from 20 to SO men, including officers, being added to the 24 forming the party intended to go to the Pole. " Immediately on arriving at a proper station, thi ship might be permanently and securely moored in am small and sheltered cove, of which there is no want in that neighbourhood. The expedition would then set off about the Ist of June, directly to the northward, beiie.. accompanied for the first hundred miles by about twelvi extra men, for the purpose of assisting in the transport of the baggage, so as to make a rapid progress for the first few days. " This extra party would then return to the ship, di rections being given to the Commanding Officer imme diately to employ them in transporting to the northern most of the Seven Islands marked in the chart a smal' quantity of provisions, &c. as a supply for the expedi tion on its return, that station being 50 miles nearer the Pole than Cloven Cliff, and consequently the best to steer for in coming back. " It may 'flare be suggested, that, as regards the stay o. the ship at the northern part of Spitsbergen during thi three best months of the summer, the plan now proposed might be made subservient to the interests of science, In sending out some duly qualified perscn to employ himseit during that interval, in conducting a series of experiment, on the pendulum, in making a variety of interesting snag netic observations, in attending to the various meteorologil cal phenomena, and in collecting specimens of natural his tory. At the same time the party proposed above to hc sent to the Seven Islands might afterwards be engaged in exploring and surveying the Eastern Coast of Spitsbergen, of which we are at present wholly ignorant, and which it would be a matter of no ordinary interest to examine. / mention these collateral objects to show that during the absence of the party sent towards the Pole, the rest of thr expedition might be constantly and beneficially employed. " The practicability of thus reaching the North Pole appears to me to turn wholly on the question of resources. This being the case, it would very soon become a matter of simple calculation, whether or not the object was within the reach of the resources with which the party was fur nished ; so that they might at any time proceed or return. according to circumstances. In other respects I can per ceive nothing whatever, that should make it an enterprise of extraordinary risk. The summer temperature of tim Polar regions is by no means uncomfortable ; the sun would be constantly above the horizon, and our men have always enjoyed remarkable robust health during excursions of this nature. If open water should frequently occur, it is always sure to be smooth, and even if it were otherwise, a boat hauled up on a flow of ice, is as secure as on shore. In fact, the more open water is found, the more easy would be the accomplishment of the enter-prize; and, taking the chance of such occasional assistance, I cannot but entertain a con- fident hope that the whole might be completed by the end of August ; and the Expedition again in England before the middle of September. " With respect to the nature of the ice on which, in case of little open water, the boats would require to be hauled the testimony of every individual who has visited these parts is highly satisfactory, affording a confident hope that the travelling over it would be easy and expeditious.— Phipps, 13tichan, Franklin, and Scoresby, all describe it as remarkably flat, and, within the sea margin, consisting for the most part of large, level, closely-joined floes. Scoresby indeed, expressly remarks, that a coach and four might drive along it for miles without interruption. Much of the ice which 1 have myself met with, has been of that de scription, and th% probability is, that in higher latitudes, where it may have been less disturbed, this will be found the case in a still greater degree. On this account it might perhaps be desirable to have the means of putting the boats on wheels, thus furnishing a third mode of conveyance, which might occasionally be resorted to, if found conve nient on trial. " Such, my Lord, is a brief outline of the plan by which Y. Captain Parry has since been compelled so far to alter this part of his plan, as to employ Lapland rein-deer instead of Zs quimaux. dojo, :11:,E, - a . in the View.

Another extraordinAry intellect was summoned for a separate purpose, scarcely less essential. The Revolutionary influence had made its way extensively tin ough. the country. A crowd of daring writers. From whose pens every drop that fell was the venom of atheism and anarchy, were labouring to pervetr: zhe public into general rebellion. Success had made them insolent; and the country was filled xvitli al most the open array of revolt. The connexion with France was palpable; for every hue of tempest in that troubled sky there was a corresponding reflec don in our own ; we had the fetes, the societies, and the spirit of France; every burst of strange fire from the wild and bloody rites that Republicanism had begun to celebrate flashed over our horizon ; every voice of its fantastic and merciless revelries found an echo on our shore. Burke arose ; his whole life had been an uncon scious preparation for this moment. His early po litical connexions had led him close enough to demo cracy, to see of what it was made, like Milton's Sin, " Woman tsi the waist and fair, But ending foul in many a scaly fold." His Parliamentary life had deeply acquainted him with the hollowness and grimace, the selfish dis interestedness, and the profligate purity of faction; and armed in panoply, he took the field. He moved among the whole multitude of querulous and malig nant authorship, a giant among pigmies, he smote their Babel into the dust, be left them without e proselyte or a name. His eloquence, the finest and most singular combination :that the world has ever seen of magnificent fancy and . profound philosophy, yet too deliberate, too curious in its developments. for the rapid demands of public debate, here found its true region, here might gather its strength like cloud on cloud, touched with every glorious colour of heaven, till it swelled into tempest, and poured down the torrents and the thunders. No work within human memory ever wrought an effect so sudden, irresistible, and saving, as the book on the French Revolution. It instantly broke the Revolutionary spell ; the national eyes were opened. The fictitious oracles, to which the people had listened as to wis dom unanswerable, were struck dumb in the mo ment of the true appearing. The nobles, the popu lace, the professions, the whole nation from the cottage to the throne, were awakened, as by the sound of a trumpet; and the same summons, which awoke them, filled their spirits with the patriot ar dour that in the day of battle made them invincible. Burke, too, made a class in himself. As a public writer he had no equal and no similar; his place was alone. Like Pitt, when his labour was done, he died! England had now been prepared for war; and had been purified from disaffection. Her war was naval, and her fleets, commanded by a succession of brave men, had been continually victorious. But a strug gle for life and death was to come. From 1798, France was in the hands of Napoleon. His sagacity saw that England was the true barrier against uni versal conquest ; and he forced the whole strength of Europe against her. A man was now raised up whose achievements threw all the past into the shade. profession rof s e o ss on of instantly ta tran sc e n ded sacye d l d h e d e r t o h i noblestsem. rivalry His valour and l genius were meteor-like ; they rose above all, and threw a splendour upon all. His nam e wa s svnony mous with victory. He was the guiding star of the fleets of England. Each of his battles would have been a title to immortality; but his last exploit, in which the mere terror of his name drove the enemy's fleet before him through half the world, to be anni hilated at Trafalgar, has no parallel in the history of arms. Nelson, too, made a class by himself. Emu lation has never approached him. lie swept the enemy's last ship from the sea ; and, like his two mighty compatriots, having done his work of glory, he diedl The Spanish insurrection, in scarcely more than two years after the death of Pitt and Nelson, let in light upon the world. England, the conqueror of the seas, was called to be the leader of the armies of Europe. A soldier now arose, equal to this illus trious task. He, too, has made a class by himself. But his prides must be left to the gratitude of his country, and to the homage of the future. We understand that efforts are now making to re-establi s h a pack of fox-hottnds in the immediate neigh bourhood of Nottingham, to hunt the country lately hunted by Mr. Holleston. A very spirited subscription has been commenced, and no doubt is entertained that sufficient funds will soon he raised for the purpose. John Musters, Esq., will have the direction of the hunt. —Doncaster Gazette. HIGHWA Y ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT TO Muitoxß.—Yesterday morning, (Friday) about half-past eleven o'clock, a man servant of Mr. Davison, of the Brand, near Market Drayton, travelling on horseback, was stopped by three meu,on the Witmore road, about three miles from Newcastle. They robbed him of 21. lbs. and endeavoured to cut his throat, but as h e pressed his chin downwards, the cut intended for his throat passed across the lower part of his face. Two of the men appeared about five feet five inches high, and were dressed in black velveteen coats, made like keepers' coats, black waistcoats, and blue troweers. The other about five feet seven; and had on a brown rel.. veteen jacket. The men seemed about 23 years of age. The boldness and cruelty displayed in this outrage, excited the indignation of the persons in the neighbourhood, who commenced a very vigorous pursuit immediately. WI hope, ere this is read, the villains waken been secured. --Stafford .4dsertiwr. PRICE 7D.
