INSTALLATION OF LORD PALMERSTON AS LORD RECTOR GLASGOW, Mondrty Evening. This afternoon the Right Hon. Viscount Palmer ston, who on the 15th of Nov. last was chosen by a majo rity of the students of our ancient University to the office of Lord Rector in succession to the Earl of Elgin, and in opposition to the Lord Justice Clerk—the candidate fa voured by the Conservative students—was for mally installed in office. An extraordinary degree of popular interest was manifested in connection with the event. So strong and wide .spread was the wish to hear the noble lord's inaugural address that it was deemed wise, in consideration of the limited accommodation in the Common Hall of the College, to transfer the scene of its delivery to the large Church of St. John's, in the immediate vicinage—access to the church being obtained through the College grounds. One o'cicck was the time appointed for the installation ceremony, but for a full hour previously the body of the church was crammed with students, who indulged themselves to the top of their bent—all regard to the sacred character of the edifice being put aside—in the uproarious merriment cus tomary in the gatherings of juvenile academics. Amid a fierce wrangling and contention for places all manner of nnis!....m wan, rais , .:ll. Popular names, when shouted out, were greeted with thundering cheers—unpopular names met with a vehement hissing ; and latterly a stiff contest was maintained between one party who wished to sing the Na tional Anthem and another who wished to hiss down any such performance. By dint of repeated and energetic trials the former managed to get through the words-a perform ance which elicited loud and resounding cheers. "Scots wha hae," " Auld Lang Syne," and " For he's a jolly good fellow," were subsequently given in the same fashion, and with scarcely any interruption from the vestry. His lot dship arrived about half-past 12 o'clock at the Col lege, where he was received by the Very Rev. Principal Barclay, who presented to him the various Professors, and thereafter Dr. J. B. Russell, president, and Mr. Geo. Pa•. terson, vice-president of the Liberal Association of the University. The noble lord, then, accompanied by the Prin cipal, proceeded in a carriage to St. John's Church, while the Senatus Academicus and visitors walked through the College grounds to a private entrance which had been made in the wall dividing the Church from the College gardens. The procession having arrived in the Session House of r , t. Johu's, and about the same time as his lordship and the Principal, Lord Palmerston was waited upon by a deputa tion Qf the Liberal, Conservative, and Independent Asso ciations of the University, for the purpose of presenting him-with an address in name of the matriculated students of the University. The deputation consisted of Dr. J. B. Russell, president; Mr. George Paterson, vice-president ; Mr. P. MO/ Bell, and Mr. George Faulds, secretaries of the Liberal Association; Mr. Gavin Lang, president; Mr. Alex. Cameron, vice-president; Mr. George Ferguson, secretary; Mr. Chas. M. Grant, treasurer of the Conser vative Club; and Dr. George Mather, president of the In dependent Union. Dr. RUSSELL then said—My Lord,—ln the present de putation there are representatives of the three political societies into which the students attending this University are divided. I have the honour of leading it, as the student of oldest standing amongst them. I may inform your bold • ship that the greatest cordiality and unanimity prevailed in the proceedings preliminary to preparing the address, which, by your permission, I shall now read : We, matriculated students of the University of Glasgow, of all shades of political opinion, beg most respectfully and cordially to thank your lordship for your great kindness in allowing your name to be added to the list of illustrious occupants of the chair of Lord Rector of this ancient University. We thank you for the honour 3 ou do us in coming so far amid the press of more important affairs to address us, our only regret being that the want of adequate accommodation should compel us to meet our Lord Rector elsewhere than within the walls of our University. We beg to assure your lordship that we shall always look back with pride and emotion upon the day that brought us into personal contact with a First Minister of the Crown, whose name is inseparably connected with so many events that have become historical. Lord PALMERSTON said—l feel deeply the honour you have conferred on me, and this feeling I shall more fully express presently. The deputation then withdrew. A second deputation was introduced to present the fol lowing address in relation to Poland. - - - The Rev. ANDREW LoCRHEAD then read the address as follows : To the Right Hon. Viscount Palmerston, K.G. The petition of the undersigned students of the Glasgow University humbly showeth that their sympathies are deeply wounded and their tenderest susceptibilities touched, by the accounts received through the press of the cruelties and butcheries perpetrated in the name of law by the Russian authorities on unhappy Poland. May it therefore please your lordship to raise your voice, as First Minister of State in this land (the cradle of freedom), and demand the pro tection of existing treaties for Poland. And your petitioners will every pray. His LORDSHIP very briefly acknowledged the address; and immediately afterwards, preceded by the officer carrying the mace, and accompanied by the university authorities, proceeded to the church. His appearance was the signal for a loud and protracted outburst of applause. He was ac companied to the platform, which was erected in front of the pulpit, by the Right Hon. the Lord Advocate, Dean of the Faculty, the Lord Provost, the Duke of Argyle, Lord Belhaven, Sir W. Gibson. Craig, Hon. Mr. Cowper, Sir E. Colebrooke, Mr. Stirling of Keir, A. Hastie, Esq., Hon. A. Kinnaird, Lord Dunfermline, Hon. E. Ashley, Mr. Ban natyne, Mr. T. Buchanan, R. Dalglish, Esq., M.P., H. C. Ewing, Esq., M.P., Wm. Erung, Esq., Walter Buchanan, Esq., M.P., Mr. Higgins, Dr. Blackre, as also by the Prin cipal, Dr. Caird, Dr. Hill (late Professor of Divinity), Dr. Fleming, Prof. Buchanan, Dr. Buchanan, Dr. Rainy, Dr. Pagan, Dr Walker Arnott, Professor W. Thomson, Dr. Allen Thomson, Professor Blackburn, Professor Weir, Pro fessor Anderson, Professor Jackson, Professor Easton, Professor Lister, Professor Rankine, Professor Rogers, Professor Nichol, Professor Grant, Professor Kirkwood, Dr. Gairdner, and the committee of students who were delegated to present the addresses. When silence had been restored, Principal Barclay stood forward and commenced the proceedings by offering up the subjoined Latin prayer : _ _ Deus Omnipotent; I terra) coelique supreme Dominator! ad solium tuum, summo lumina circunkfusurp, venerabundi appropinquare volumus. Gratias tibi persolvimus pro mira tua erga nos benignitate. Pralcipue autem anima) nostrce ad tuas laudes concelebrandas stimulantur quod Jesum Christum filium tuum miseris, qui mundum tenebris obru turn illustraret, nosque a morte redimeret.

Oramus ut hisce comitiis beaignus adsis, et ut amnia nostra facta ad tuam gloriam spectent per Jesum Christum. Amen. Immediately after the Prayer, the Principal thus an nounced to the students that the Lord Rector was about to address them : Studiosi I Dominus Rector orationem habiturus est. De et vos summa observantia auscultare. Lord PALIIERSTON, on rising to address the students, was received with loud and repeated cheers. When silence had been obtained, his lordship said—Gentlemen, I beg, in the first iastauce to return you my most sincere and heartfelt thanks for the great honour you have done me by placing me in the position in which I now stand before you to-day. It must be a matter of pride to any man to have his name associated with those of the great and distinguished men, eminent in all the departments of intellect, who have in for mer times held the office in which by your favour I have now been placed. I had no right to expect that honour at your hands. It came upon me unsolicited, and therefore I was the more gratified at receiving it. I have no academi cal connection with you. That portion of my instruction which was imbibed in your land of Scotland was given to me in your Sister University of Edinburgh, and I must al ways feel grateful for that which I there acquired. The only motive which you could have for electing me to the high office to which you have raised me must have been your be lief that in my public conduct I have endeavoured faithfully to perform my duty, and that belief on my part must afford me the highest gratification personally, while, on the other hand, it is satisfactory to think that the example which you have set of thus rewarding those whom you believe to have so acted, must be an encouragement to all others who are engaged in public life, and what is perhaps still more im portant, it is an earnest that you—all of you who are des tined to fill different offices and different functions in this country, will he actuated in your own conduct by that prin ciple which you believe to have influenced me, and that you will, all of you in whatever positions you may be called upon to be, to the best of your endeavours, faithfully per form your duty. (Loud cheers.) Well, gentlemen, I stand here before you to perform a duty which you have imposed upon me, and which custom imposes on those who fill this office, namely, that of addressing to you some few remarks upon the subject of ycur education. You are now all of yon in that period of life which, by common parlance, is devoted to what is usually and in a limited seine called education . You aro now at that time when the mind is meet open to instruction—when the precepts which are afforded to you sink deepest into your plastic intelligence, and when the impressions which are made are not only made more easily, but impress the mind most deeply and produce the most lasting convictions. I say that that period of instruc tion which is afforded to young men between the time when their minds are most open to kn. wiedge, and when they are called upon to enter into the busy scenes of active life, is technically and in a limited sense called education. But the real truth is that the education of a sensible and intelligent man continues to the latest day of his existence—(cheers) —for there is no day in a man's life—there is no time of his existence in which, if his mind is alive—if be keeps his ears and his eyes open to impressions and observations, that he will not be cont'nual,y adding to the stock of his ideas and thoughts, and in which he will not add to the store of his knowledge, and increase that information which is useful to him both here and hereafter. (Cheers.) But we are talk ing now about that education which is given to young men when they have more leisure to attend to it than they can have when they engage in the pursuits of life; and let me not lead you astray by the obeervations which I have made to induce you to think that the omissions of to-day—the omissions of your youth, can be made up for by exertions of a later period of life, because, depend upon it that if you ne glect those ample opportunities which your present 'course of studies afford, you will bitterly, but too late, repent. You will be like the crew of a ship enteript upon a long voyage, which has neglected to provide sAireient means of subsis tence, and while in the middle of tlie storms and tempests which they may encounter in their passage will find their strength failing them and their means inadequate in conse quence of their want of foresight before they quitted the port. (Cheers) Well, gentlemen, it has been said that the proper definition of education is, that it is an art which teaches man to live ; and if that be a true definition 3 it con firms what I have just stated, that man learns better and better how to live by the experience cf every day which passes over his head. But beginning with that which ought to be taught to youth, the first learn ing which you ought to acquire is self-discipline and self-control. That is essential in every period of your life ; it will be an assistance to you in whatever pursuit you may be engaged. But it is a knowledge and an art which must be acquired early, for It is difficult to obtain it afterwards, and when the years of youth have passed away—Provi dence has given to man lively passions and a strong will, which, when properly used, are of the utmost advantage to him, but which, If al/awed to run riot, may lead him into really difficulties and dangers. They may be compared to a high-epirited courser, which, if he is made obedient to the will of his master, will carry him safely through the longest journey, ever the greatest difficulties and obstaeles, and carry him to whatever height it may be the aim and object of his journey. But if that high-spirited courser is allowed to take the mastery over his rider, he will carry him into brakes and brambles, into bogs and morasses, and ten to one but at the end of the journey he will hurl him down some frightful precipice. Therefore I say, gentlemen, bear in mind the well-known precept : " Animum rego; hie nisi pant imperat Rune frenis; huae tee compesse catenis." Well, gentlemen, there are two gifts which we enjoy—two instruments which we use which are of daily and most important application, but which it is too much the prac tice of mankind, turning their attention to higher objects, to neglect and treat with indifference—l mean speech and writing. They are the means by which wo communicate with each other upon everything that relates to the transacticns and the business of life. It is by them that we deprecate anger; that we endeavour to conciliate love and friendship; —it is by them that we promote our interests—that we endeavour to propagate our opinions. In short, there is no hour of any day of our lives in which one or other of those instruments—thought tad intelligence—are not called upon.to do us service. Noiv; , :with respect to speech, lam not going to give you any pre 4 epts so far as delivery goes, So far as adapting the \Tice and manner of speaking, so as to render them most agrecalete and persueaive, youlneve_ within your city models most worthy of imitation to which if you attend, and try to follow by your practice, you will require no other precept or admonition. With respect to the substance of speak;ng—the arrangement of ideas, and the selection of words, I refer you to that most admirable ora tion which was delivered to you some years ago by that great and eminent, and I will say wonderful man, Lord Brougham—(cheers; —a man of whom it may be said that although engaged during the whole period of his life actively either in professional or political occupations, he contrived by the variety and great comprehensiveness of his mind to store that mind with a greater extent of various knowledge and information than perhaps ever fell to the lot—and which certainly never more fell to the lot—of any distinguished man. (Cheers.) Well, then, I exhort you to read again that oration, to impress on your minds every avoid it contains; for depend on it in every word there is wisdom. (Cheers,) Well, gentlemen, the foundation, I may say, of all orna mental education—of all education—must be found in the classical works of Greece and Rome. (Cheers.) Theycontain more precept of sentiment, more elegance of style, more con densation and thought than perhaps the writings of almost any other age, and they have this remarkable in their nature that they were the productions of a period when men of literature and science had not many of the means which we possess for the diffusion of knowledge and for the acquire ment of knowledge. They had not the art of printing ; they had not many of those modes of communication which now enable men to acquire, with comparatively small labour, the results of the labours of others, and to refine their taste by easy access to the works of those who have written with most taste and judgment themselves. (Hear, hear.) The study of the classics may no doubt to some be painful and irksome at the beginning, but it will be a source of perpetual enjoyment to you in every period of your life, and that which in the teginning was a matter of labour will in its result be a source of relaxation and a pleasure. (Loud cheers.) Relaxation and pleasure remind me that he little would be able to guide the actions of youth who were to tell them never to enjoy relaxation and pleasure. (Hear, hear.) The man who is perpetually on the stretch sinks under its own weight—( a laugh)—and, therefore, well regulated relaxation and pleasure of a proper kind, mixed with knowledge, with labour, tends only to refresh the faculties, and to make that labour more easy and effectual. (Cheers.) But these relaxations must be rational, they must not corrupt the mind, they must not undermine those faculties which ought to be applied to nobler and more use ful purposes. (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, the study of the works of antiquity ought not to divert you from giving due attention, and from bestowing well-merited admiration on the classical works of your own language and your own land. (Great cheering.) In recommending you to make yourselves acquainted with the poets and the historians of ancient times, I would be wanting towards you if I did not urge you to be come familiar with the great masters of English literature —with Milton, with Shakspeare, with Pope, and with other distinguished writers whose works form the standard of our language, and whose works also teach you how to con dense your thoughts, and how to express them in appro priate and adequate language. (Loud cheers.) Well, gentlemen, don't think I am pointing out to you exertions beyond the strength of any individual, and advising you to studies for which the brief period devoted to your edu cation would be insufficient. You are all of you probably destined to some one particular profession. Make every thing that belongs to that profession the object of your intense and preferent study, but do not, on that account, omit acquiring general information upon other mat ters whenever opportunities may present themselves to you for doing so. (Applause.) Whatever may be the profession which a man enters into, he will prefer the duties of that profession better by having general knowledge, and that generality of knowledge will not interfere with the successful study of what is necessary for the particular line which he determines to enter. Don't be discouraged by people who say it is absurd to have a smattering of different things— A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. A little knowledge is better than no knowledge at all. (Cheers and laughter.) Learn a little of everything of which you can learn anything. (Renewed laughter.) It will be useful hereafter; in your own line it may be the foundation upon which you will build up as you go along through life. But tear one thing in mind. Be content, in reference to many things, with mere rudimentary information, but what little you know know it well. (Applause) Don't accept the jingle of words for reality of things. (Applause.) Go to fundamental principles ; know accurately that which you are desirous of knowing, and however little that may be, depend upon it that upon that bisis you will more easily be able to build up a future superstructure. (Applause.) Many people are contented with words, and don't give themselves the trouble of inquiring into the principles and the reality of things. Don't fall into that mistake. Well, gentlemen, after the classics of ancient times, and after the most approved literature of your own country and in your own language, there are other departments of intellect to which naturally you will direct your attention. It cannot be supposed that in the country of Reid and Stewart—(loud cheers)—the philosophy of mind should not form an object of attractive study—investigations which will tend to open the mind, to enlarge the faculties, and to improve that understanding of which you are studying the theory and the philosophy. (Applause.) Well, gentlemen, I speak not now to those to whom any exhortation would be required, w hen I urge you to take advantage of your period of study —indeed you will be compelled, no doubt, by College ex amination to do so—(laughter and cheers) —by directing your attention to the study of mathematics. (Cheers.) The Scotch mind, which is a very reasoning mind—(cheers and laughter)—which is a mind that loves investigation and the pursuit of truth—(renewed applause)—is well known to be peculiarly adapted to mathematical science. (Loud cheers.) In a country that gave birth to the man who invented lo garithms, it is useless to inculcate anything upon that sub ject. (Laughter and cheers) But depend upon it that there is nothing which gives greater accuracy to the opera tions of the human mind than the study of mathematics. It is, I will say, almost the only study which brings to the mind the satisfactory demonstration of indisputable truth —truth, I mean with reference to those matters to which it extends. But it is, perhaps, the best system of logic. A man who accustoms his mind to mathematical demonstra tions will not wander into irreverent disputations, but will know how to shape his ideas so as to present a conclusive demonstration of the arguments which he wishes to bring to bear upon any subject. Well, gentlemen, we should have lived in vain, or at least the purposes of existence would only be partialiy accomplished, if we were to shut our minds to all that has passed before our time; and the study of history is a most useful and necessary part of the accomplishments which youths ought to acquire. History will not indeed give you materials which by a geometrical proposition you can apply with accuracy; for as we find among the millions of the human race that no two men have features in all respects identical, so in regard to human events, we cannot find in all historical record two events which in all their concomitant circumstances are so alike, that the ex •mple of one van form a rule of caeduct for the others. (Loud cheers.) But it is of great service for those who have to act, to know what have been failures and suc -ceases, what have been the errors and achievements either of mesa or nations in time past ; and these examples may serve so far as to exemplify principles of action, may serve as guides to every man either in pri vate or in public opinion. An acquaintance with his tory, therefore, is -essential, so far as there are opportunities for acquirement, with into }se application to the particular line of study. Historyetherefore, ought to be: studied and engrafted on the minds ofethe youth. (Cheers.) Well, gen tlemen, so far we have gone: You will see Lhave started with amusements and recreations, and these-if resorted to occasionally refresh the hu.nan judgment—give a pleasure while enjoying them, and a fresh tone to the intellect when a pc son again applies himself to more serious occupations. (Cheers.) ' You have no want of natioeal poets. (Cheers.) The land of Burns—(loud. cheers) —and the land of Sir "Walter Scott--(renewed cheers)—cannot fail to be full of young men who, in their leisure hours, find , pleasure in reading the admirable works of these great and illustrious men. (Loud cheers.) We have gone through some of the prominent works of man, but I should also • mention and point out to your attention that range of study which re lates to what are more particularly called mechanics—the laws of motion—the fundamental principles Of which are useful to every man whatever may be the line of life he is going to enter ; and you have ample opportunities here for making yourselves masters of the elementary principles at least of that branch of human science. (Cheers.) Gentle • men, we have talked here of the works of man, and they are well deserving the care of investigation, they are well deserving the care that you must use to acquire from them those ideas and that knowledge they are so well qualified to teach you, which will be not only of much service to you in your after career, but a solace and a pleasure in those lei sure hours which you may have leave to take from the more active pursuits of life, and to devote to them, (Cheers.) But you should fall short of that which I recommend to you if you did not devote a portion of that period of study, if you did not devote a portion of that period of leisure, to the contemplation of the works of God. (Cheers.) That branch of knowledge has in many respects made wonderful progress in late years, and by the labours of others it is easier for you to acquire knowledge, There is this remark able difference between the present and former ages. In former times there were men of great genius and of great research who made great progress in the study of the laws and phenomena of nature, but the mass of 'mankind have little means by their 'labours. In those days teen of science • Contrived to give the results of laborious years in so short, compendious and intelligent a manner, so that you are able to profit by the labours of others, and profit by those results which other men have worked out by long laborious etude , . (Cheers.) The first object of study ought to be, comprised in chemistry, the opciation of nature iu all those elements ,en which we live end (teal, a knowledge of which. isenerfuh - 1 0 - e Very in his individual condition, and on th - e aro y -4 of which eepend the industry, wealth, and prosperity of nations. There is almost no science that has made more wonderful progress of late years than chemistty, and it is well deserving whatever may be your future career that you should make yourselves acquainted with the leading principles of that science. It isnot expected that those who are destined for the church or the bar, or other such profes sions, that they should become skilful chemists, but they should be acquainted with the general principles by which substances act on each other, and this knowledge will be found useful in every position in life. (Cheers.) Now, they concern the peasant in his cottage, the workman in his convenient dwelling, as much as they concern the great manufacturer in the arrangements of his business, because health and life are essentially connected with the practice and the experience'and the counsel of the chemist. (Cheers.) Now, then, gentlemen, it is only comparatively of late years that men have turned the it attention to acquiring scien tific knowledge with regard to the crust of the globe on which we live, and certainly Scotland has contributed its full share towards the knowledge and information gained. What canbe more useful than any general information with respect to the manner in which layer upon layer and rock upon rock have been placed upon each other. It tells upon the business of every day. It is only after that great know ledge which we have obtained that all your mineral experi ments have been conducted with the success which bas attended them. A general knowledge of the arrangement of the crust of the earth is an essential accomplishment for every gentleman, and is useful in whatever pursuit a man is about to engage. (Cheers.) Well, then, rising from the crust of the earth and all these numerous phenomena and arrangements connected with the atmosphere of our ocean ; and the various circumstances belonging to the surface of our globe, we naturally turn our thoughts to the position and action of our globe, and that system of which our sun is the centre, and that knowledge of astronomy, connected at all events with the other system is so easily acquired and so interesting when known, that no man who has an oppor tunity of investigating could for a moment neglect those opportunities ani remain in ignorance. It is admirable to think that all the varied arrangements upon which day and night and the succession of the seasons depend have been so beantifully adapted to the purpose of those who inhabit this globe, and a knowledge of these things I trust no man who hears me will fail to acquire, so far as oppor tunity offers. But there is a wider range with regard to that great and extensive study. Our solar system, as is well known, forms but an insignificant, a comparatively in significant, part in that great universe of which, on a star light night, we see some portion exposed to our view, and the study of the mechanism of the universe is a study which leads the mind to the most exalted thoughts—which expands our considerations more than any other, and which, although it is not decided by certain results which have been maintained in the study of our own solar system, yet I believe enough is known to excite the wonder and the admiration of those who are acquainted with it. (Applause.) Let it not be said that these studies direct the mind from the practical precepts of religion. On the contrary, I maintain that they tend to strengthen and confirm that faith which is inculcated by our revealed religion. (Cheers.) If, when, on the one hand, we contemplate those marvellous arrangements extending over space indefinite, and comprising worlds innumerable, with order and arrangement that nothing but the most supreme wisdom could have established—when we contem plate, in the first place, the arrangements for our systems, when we consider the multitude of suns and worlds even beyond the range of the telescopic power of man, and are made sensible of the comparative insignificance of everything that belongs to this earth, this speck of creation ; and if there is any man who, in the consciousness of genius, in the enjoyment of wealth, in the possession of sta' ion, is inspired by feelings of vanity and pride when he reflects that the world which he treads upon is a mere speck in creation,and that ho himself is an immeasurable atom in that speck— these thoughts must ter. d to lower that pride, to divest him of that vanity, and to teach him veneration and humility in his position, (Loud cheers.) But, gentlemen, when he turns his thoughts to the other scale, when he thinks and considers the infinite variety, inconceivable ingenuity and wisdom with which everything in this earth has 1:) , en adapted to specific purposes, and to the enjoyment of created beings. When he sees that even those smallest and most minute animals of creation which are hardly perceptible, and some not perceptible to the naked eye. There there is most ad mirable adaptation of every details for the purpose of the enjoyment of that creature so long as it is to live—when he reflects on the constitution of his own frame, and, more than that, when ho refects upon all the facilities with which , his mind has been endowed—when he considers the powers which have been given to man to extend his ken far away from the globe which he inhabits, aid to acquire a certain amount of knowledge of things so distant that even, as it is said, millions of years re required to bring to us the light which flows from their centre, he must be persuaded that those arrangements were not intended in vain—he must bo convinced that those powers which have been given to his mind—those moral and intellectual powers with which he has been endowed, have not been given simply for the purpose of a day, and that the day is the life of man—he must be convinced that they are designed to fit him for some better and future state, and therefore I say that these great, exalted, and sublime contemplations are calculated to PRICE..... - ..4d. STAMPED ....sd. strengthen and encourage that faith of which it is said that: panting for a happier state, it deems death but nature's signal for retreat. But I am treading on ground which does not belong to me. There are others who are more competent —more capable and more entitled to address yon on a sub ject like this. I stand here to give you humbly such advice as I may be able to offer you with regard to your career in this life and in this world. I shall only, in conclusion, add, that I fervently hope that your career may be successful, and that you may prove yourselves to be an honour to your selves and an advantage to that country which has pleased Providence you should be born and live in. (Loud cheers.) I beg, again,.gcntlernen, to return you my most sincere thanks for the honour you have done me and the kind recep tion I have met with from you. (L -- nd cheers) After a mo ment's consultation with President Barclay, his lordship continued : Gentlemen, I have one word more. There is in India a fabulous deity called Sri, who is the goddess peculiarly the patroness of learning, and on the day of her festival, books and pens are laid aside, and no study or learning whatever ocupies the attention of the minds of students. (Cheers.) Well, I have been endeavouring to in cite you to laborious and persevering study, and therefore in imitation of these Indian votaries—(laughter)—l have endeavoured, and I believe successfully, obtained for yeu a holiday. (Tremendous cheering, amidst which the noble Rector resumed his seat.) In answer to repeated questions from the body of the church, Principal BARCLAY intimated that Tuesday (to.morrow) would be given as a holiday, in compliance with Lord Pal merston's request. The benediction was then pronounced, and the large assemblage dispersed. THE BANQUET. In the evening a magnificent banquet was given to Vis count Palmerston, in the City-hall. Corers were laid for upwards of 900. The decorations were of the most elabo • rate character, and the general arrangements gave entire satisfaction to the very numerous assemblage. At a few minutes after 6 the distinguished statesman entered the hall, amid universal acclamation, and was conducted by the Lord Provost to the platform, on which tables were placed for the principal guests. The Lord Provost presided, having on his right Viscount Palmerston, Lord Blantyre, Lord Dunfermline, Mr. Cowper, Sir J. Gibson Craig, Sir E. Colebrooke, M.P., Principal Barclay, the Dean of the Faculty; and on the left the Duke of Argyll, the Lord Advocate, M.P., Mr. Kinnaird, Admiral Hope, Mr. Finlay, M,P., Sir James Forgusson, M.P., Sir J. Campbell, Sir A., Orr, Mr. Crum-Ewing, M.P., Sir James Anderson, Air. Merry, M.P., &c. The vice-presidents were Mr. Dalglisit, M.P., and Mr. Buchanan, M.P. The dinner was most creditable to the purveyors. After grace, the LORD PnovosT -proposed the usual loyal toasts of "Her Majesty the Queen," "The Prince and Princess of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family," which were received with all the honours. The LORD PROVOST, on rising to propose the toast of the evening, said, it was now his privilege to propose with all the honours the toast of their distinguished guest Viscount Palmerston. (Enthusiastic cheers.) Ten years had nearly elapsed since, his lordship being on a hurried visit to Scotland on (Alicia' duty, the opportunity was embraced by the then municipal authorities of the city to confer on him the highest gift they could bestow on the greatest and best of the land, and since that period they had said, as was said years ago by a late distinguished statesman, even in opposi tion, speaking of the House of Commons in reference to the noble lord, "We are proud of him." (Cheers.) So they also were proud to claim him as a citizen of this important community—(loud cheers)—and hailed with high satis faction the opportunity offered by his recent election to the Lord Rectorship of their ancient University of evincing in a public manner some idea of the high esteem in which he is universally held, in consideration of his long and faithful services to the Crown and country,' as well as of his personal and private worth. (Continued cheering.) He spoke not only his own sentiments and theirs, but also the sentiments of tens of thousands in that city, when they said they rejoiced to see the neble lerd among them to-night participating in a public demonstration of respect and ad miration. After nearly three score years in the arena of public life, and in almost every department of the Govern ment service, the noble viscount still displayed extraordi na,-; freshness and ardour, and was ready as ever to do gopd serseeo to his Queen and country. (Cheers.) To this no country' could show a parallel. He prayed Geld the no} )e lord might long be spared to them. (Cheers.) What lid ...12Aailyt i k .A6 l l4,y e teenier's experience during the long p : orlott of - his pubri - C iife, and what could he tell of great (vet .i. which had taken place during it•—of fallen dynasties and kingdoms of new creation; of the strifes in which our country has been involved and come out victorious ; of our wars, French and Peninsular, American, Russian, Indian, and Chinese ; and, more dreadful, our Indian mutiny I But, passing from events to men, what could our noble guest tell of the great ones who for the last 60 years had ruled the desfnies of Europe I Had he not been in close contact with those eminent statesmen of the last and begin ning of the present century who roused the energies of our country against the ferocious promoters and the spirit of the French revolution, and brought us safely and victori ously through all the troubles which followed ? Could he not tell of the great statesmen and warriors who in his early time had passed away ; how their successors, at least many, had in his time attained the pinnacle of fame and had also passed away, until now the noble lord was left almost with out a compeer of his early days? (Cheers) And what was the grand result? They saw the noble Premier at the head of a Government at peace with all the nations of Europe, and that honourably—(cheers)—for if there was one feature of the noble lord's character more prominent than another, it was firm determination to vindicate the honour of Great Britain in the face of foreign Governments. (Loud cheers.) Hence, while England was respected by all the world, the noble lord was " a terror to evil-doers" when ever such an one appeared on the political horizon. With the exception of one branch of industry which was suffer ing, but not from any fault of ours, we were in a prosperous and flourishing condition. Let us, therefore, congratulate I our noble guest on all this, and, while giving him a true Scotch welcome, wish him yet many years of prosperity and happiness, with the hearty thanks of a grateful nation. (Loud cheers.) He would therefore ask them to drink with all enthusiasm "The Health and long life of their dis tinguished and esteemed guest, Viscount Palmerston." The toast was received with the utmost enthusiasm, and followed by the " Fine Old English Gentleman." Viscount PALMERSTON, in rising to acknowledge the toast, was received with repeated rounds of applause. Ilis lordship said,—My Lord Provost, my Lord Duke, and gen tlemen, it would be but adopting the usual forms of expres sion to say that it would be impossible for me to find words adequate to express the feelings which the cordial and kind rsception which I have met in Glasgow, and more especially within these walls, must produce upon my mind. It is well known that Scotchmen have warm hearts. It is well known that when they like they like to some good purpose—(a laugh)—and I think when I look around at this august and distinguished assembly, when I know how it is composed, I may without vanity think that the greeting which I have received to-day is an indication of personal goodwill. (Cheers.) It sometimes happens to a man engaged in public life to be received with acclamation and kindness by a select number of those who happen to be of the same political party with himself, and upon these occasions something must be deducted from the expressions of applause which he may receive—something must be transferred from himself to the political cause which at the moment he may re present ; and, however gratifying the reception may be, he cannot take it personally to himself. Upon the present occasion I know that there are within these walls men of every shade of political opinion as well as a most distinguished collection of men eminent in the various careers and professions of life ; but, knowing as I do that there are many in this hall who differ from each other, and possibly from me, on many of those questions which have agitated the political world, I think I may receive with more gratitude the kind reception you have given me, because I am warranted in ascribing it to an indulgent and personal regard. (Cheers.) It is indeed natural a generous people should view with kindly regard any man who, they believe, has through many years of public life, whether they may altogether have agreed with him or not, exerted whatever talents or abilities Nature may have bestowed on him, what ever opportunities he may have had of rendering public service, employing those faculties and making use of those opportunities, to the best of his conscience and ability, tor the benefit and good of our country, (Cheers.) Gentlemen, undoubtedly there can be no occasion more gratifying to the feelings of public men than when, retiring from the imme diate conflict of public life, during intervals of comparative repose, they are privileged to have intercourse with their fellow countrymen, and have the happiness, as I trust I have this evening, of finding among those whom, as my Lord Provost has mentioned, I am entitled to consider my fellow-citizens, also kind and indulgent friends. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, the city of Glasgow is indeed a most remark able centre of intellect, of industry and commerce, that may be considered a sample of the British empire. For hero we have that instruction which enlightens the mind, and which prepares men for the pursuits in life for which they may be destined. We possess everything that trains young men to be useful and ornamental to their country, and we have, on the other hand, examples of the most success ful application of genius to the purposes of industry and commerce. We have examples of that wealth, that prosperity, that happiness, which are create 1 by the intelligence o f men devoted to the welfare an dln dustry of our country. (Cheers.) It was within this city that that great man, Adam Smith, first inculcated those doc trines of political economy which at that time were coldly received by many, much combated by more, denounced as unsound and unfounded by the great majority of mankind, 1 conflicting as they did with the vested interests and long EIVS PA PER sc, .4 . 474) establis e co Menial prejudices by transactions of nations and the industry o ikdividu a a that time were guided. But you have the tatsfadt o knowing that those principles, sound and enlightened as they were, have gradually worked their way not only to guide and direct the course of events in our own country, but that they have, by the force or example founded upon the prosperity which they have created here, worked their way almost all over Europe, and that those benefits and blessings which those principles have conferred upon us are gradually extending themselves to other nations which for a long time shut their cars to the precepts we had given them. There is, perhaps, no city that is a more striking example than Glasgow of the success of that commercial system. Long was it, indeed, before the people of the United Kingdom could be persuaded that a nation must prosper by the prosperity of all who belong to it, that perfect freedom of action was essential to commercial prosperity--(cheers) --and that laws and restrictions which were devised and established for the benefit of the few must be prejudicial to the many, and ought, therefore, to be rescinded and abo lished. (Cheers ) If there could be wanting any proof of the soundness of those principles by which all political par ties have for a great number of years agreed to set, that proof would be afforded in the result of the year which is new about to close. We have born suffering under grievous distress and privations carved by that dreadful and terrible couflict whi.•h has arisen among our cousins on the other side of the Atlantic—a conflict which has inflicted upon the people f that continent miseries which it would be difficult to describe ; horrors end sufferings Which are incident upon the action of armies in the countries which they occapy. I say these people have been unfortunately the victims of the greatest of all calamities, but their cala mities have also had the influence upon us, and it is pain ful, no doubt, to every man who has a feeling heart to re• fleet upon the suffering which a great portion of our manu facturing population have sustained during the year and a half that is now elapsing. Not only has our industry been I paralysed, but our commerce with the Northern portion of America has been greatly restricted—and yet, in spite of those causes which might have led us to expect a great di minution of the general prosperity of the country, such has been the elasticity of the industryof the United Kingdom —suet, *as been the..powmpf , an.slon which the eucom mercial tra2fatetions of the country have acquired—that -1 notwithstanding all these drawbacks, the general commerce of the country has not been materially affected—and I be lieve that it will be found that our revenue has been alto gether in a satisfactory condition. (Cheers.) Well, gentle men, that never could have happened at a time when the doctrines of Adam Smith were scouted or denounced; These happy consequences are the result tf that enlighten ment,which, beginning to radiate from this town as a centre, has now spread its light over not only our own country but over the countries of the Continent, and you may therefore be proud, not only of your own prosperity, but of having been the seat of those doctrines which have contributed mainly to increase the prosperity of others. (Cheers.) Gen tlemen, the Lord Provost has adverted to events of preced ing years. It has been, no doubt, the great aim and object, of those who have teen engaged in the conduct of public affairs to maintain the - honour and the dignity of the coun try—(cheers)—but at the same tittle to preserve it in peace. And, gentlemen, that is not so difficult a task as may at first sight appear—for so long as those who are charged with. the responsible management of public affairs know that they are watched on the one hand by an intelligent and . care ful nation who would by interposition prevent them from engaging rashly in unwarrantable enterprises, they know on the ether hand that there is a deter mined spirit in the British nation which will not suffer itself to be wronged—which will not brook insult— (loud cheers)—which is ever ready to repel aggression, and which, by maintaining within itself the means of adequate defence, will teach other nations of the world that while we refrain from aggression, while we are determined to commit no wilful injury, while we are resolved to infringe no right belonging to others—on the other hand,• ".2Voli tee tang ere." (Loud cheers) Let others be careful how they give net cause to resent anything that would give us just reason to deem it pt ovocation—(cheers) ; but I am glad to say that there never was a period when this country was upon better terms of friendship with all the other nations of the world. (Cheers.) I advert not to those contending parties in America who sue us like rivals who sue a fair damsel—(a laugh)—each party wanting us to take up her cause, and each feeling some little stinging resentment on account of that neutrality which they lost, and which they botliaaf them in some degree characterise as unfriendliness. But, setting aside these feelings, which create no irritation in our mind, and do not in any degree diminish that friendly feeling which ought to prevail between kindred races, as they and we are—(cheers) —l say, barring that, we may fairly congratulate ourselves that there is no Government, no nation, with whom we have political or commercial in tercourse with whom we are not upon terms of the most satisfactory friendship. (Cheers.) And long may that con tinue. (Loud cheers.) lam persuaded that, let what poli tical party may be charged with the government o: this country, so long as they pursue that course which is most consistent with the maintenance of peace and the assertion of the rights and dignity of the country, that party will be backed by tha hearty support pf the nation; and the states men—be they whom they may—by whore that course of policy is pursued will, when they come among -their fel low-citizens, meet from all political parties the same cor dial reception With which I have been honoured by yxat. (Cheers.) Gentlemen,l beg again to thank you froM the bottom of my heart for the kindness of your weleoine, - which has increased my appreciation of the warmth and cordiality of the . Scottish character. ' Although, }indeed, from having' passed three years, or at least. winters, of -v life in studying at your sister UniVersitytif Edinburgh. • • 4., -15 1 . ..,,,! ti ebaaacter is, yet I ati pr ud and most grate • for t'd re= newed specimen which you have given me of it by the reception you have accorded me at Glasgow; and I can assure you that, whatever may be the length of life that may be conceded to me, I shall never forget the kindness of my Glasgow friends, and shall always consider it as a proud eircumstanc•, of my life that I have been honoured by being one of your fellow-citizens. and that I have been received as such by th e di s 'i ng u shed assembly whom I have had the honour of addressing. (The noble lord resumed his seat amid loud cheers.) The next 1 oast, proposed by Sir J. CAMPBELL, was, "The Houses of Lords and Commons," which was acknowledged by Lord ABERCROMBIE and Mr. COWPER. Mr. DALGLISH, M.P., proposed "Our Brave Defenders by Land and Sea," which was acknowledged by Admiral HOPE, who said it had long been his belief that his countrymen viewed with much indulgence the conduct of those whose honest endeavour it had been to do their duty, and it was in the spirit arising from that belief that he should now reply to the too flattering mode in which they had been pleased to associate his name with those whose privilege it was to defend their country. (Cheers.) Of those defenders, he should first advert to those to whose exertions he felt was mainly owing the honour of addressing them; and while he would not overvalue the merits of those brave officers and men to whose support he was so much beholden during his late command in China, yet they might believe one whose let it was to try them well, that more than enough of genuine gallantry, more than enough of untiring zeal, more than enough of en durance under pain and suffering was displayed by them to prove their possession of those high qualities which in days gone by won for their fathers a lasting fame. (Cheers) It was net fitting that he should advert to the sister service, with whom they were act ing; but this much he would not refrain from saying— that brought into close and immediate contact during the whole period of his command with military men of all classes, during his intercourse, extending over four years, which would ever form one of the most prized recollections of his professional life, he could recall to mind among them, as among other men, a variety of characters, a variety of temper, and a variety of professional aptitude and zeal, but could not call to mind the occurrence of one simple incident which now caused him the shadow of a shade of regret. (Cheers.) And when men had talked to hint of the labour and fatigue attending the post which it was his high privi lege to fill, he could well have replied that he regarded the approval and co-operation of Sir Hope Grant, Sir John Mit chell, and Sir Robert Napier as more than a reward for any labour which had fallen to his lot. The gallant officer then referred to the sufferings which had been occasioned in China by the incursions of the Taepings, which recalled to hie mind the memory of those times when savage hordes de stroyed the Roman Empire, wasted the civilised world, and men, in the extremity of their anguish, sought death and could not find it. He called upon them warmly to cherish that self-reliant spirit which, during his absence, had called to arms thousands of his countrymen. They might rest well assured that any neighbour would sit down to count the cost of troubling us. His thoughts would rather run in the direction of the olden motto, Nemo me impure lacessit, than in that arising from, as he thought, the rather too apo logetic motto adopted by our volunteers. The gallant ad miral concluded, after some further observations in the same tone, by expressing his warm acknowledgments for the cordial manner in which he had been sustained by the Admiralty, and paid a high compliment to the manly cha racter of Lord Palmerston, which so well befitted a British statesman, and which was characteristic of him in standing up for every public set vast—soldier, sailor, or civilian—• who honestly did his duty. (Cheers.) Viscount PALMERSTON proposed the next toast, which he was sure they would all drink with much pleasure,-- " The health of the Lord Provost, the Magistrates, and Prosperity to the City of Glasgow." He was sure they would drink heartily the health of the Lord Provost, and no doubt they would drink with equal pleasure the he a lth of the magistrates. They might feel some little diffidence and modesty as to the third part of the toast, whi c h i mplied prosperity to themselves. (A laugh.) But in this world modesty might be carried sometimes too far (laughter), and therefore, casting aside all unnecessary bashfulness, he was sure they would join him cordially in every part of the toast which it was his duty to propose to them. There was no part of our valuable institutions that, perhaps, were more de serving of commendation and esteem than our municipal in stitutions. They were some of the most ancient—the foun dation, the corner stone of all the superstructure which was raised upon them. They formed the education of lubiio men ; they were the centres from which originated intelligent public opinion; they embodied that admirable principle of local self-government which was the pride, the boast, and the happiness of all three nation. (Cheers.) These institu tions (Worded to the inhabitants of our cities and towns op portunities of doing honour to the most distinguished eiti z-ns among them, and they might be assured that those ho,iours were highly valued because they were indications of the esteem in which the community held the men selected. The selection did honour to the men selected, and in the present instance they need not be bashful in the admission that it did honour to those who elected them. The merit of the magistrates was seen in the good order which prevailed in this great city. He was bound to say that •!I.'erfehlng which depended upon an active and intelligent magistracy did equal honour and credit to the magistrates of the cit., of Glasgow. As to any notion that wishes and !, the berg w uld contribute to the prosperity of Glasgow, " brood of Douai.. ave uld protect itself." (Che er s.) Th e indust i n tettigence, enterprise, and capital of th e c it y of Glasgow would insure its prosperity. Th ey m i g h t drink success to the revolving sun, he would shine neither more for their toast nor less for their abstinence ; but depend upon it the prosperity of Glasgow would go in increasing for the wel fare of the city and advantage of the nation to which it belonged. (Cheers.) The LORD PROVOST returned thanks it , everal other toasts, including " The Health of Lady Palmerston," were proposed by the Duke of Argyll, the Lord Advocate, Mr. Buchanan, M.P., &c., after which the company separated. • DINNERS. -THE WELLINGTON, St. James's-street —During the Season a Set Dinner willrbe served at Lave Shillings each, including Dessert and. attendance.
