LATINO THU Fount:tenon STONZ OP TIM New
Museum.— fbe ceremony of laying tte tunedation stone of
the new Museum took place at half•past two o'clock Alter
the formalities usual on inch occe ions, the Earl of Derby,
in a short bat at propriate speech, mentioned the objects
which had led the University to fraud the new museum,
vie, the inereeiong demand for knowledge of the natural
sciences and those studies which were so indispensable to
the rising generation, which enabled these to form an esti-
mate, though comparatively smell, of the omnipotence,
eartiteience, and omnipresence of God. Much as the Uni-
venity had ..:fend d upon the building of this vast work,
viz, 30,0001. still that sera had nothing to de with fur-
nishing and decorating the interior, which mast be left to
the contribution of private individuals. The intention of
the University was to have the pillars along the corridor to
give instiuctioo to three who studied geology. In the in-
terior of tee building would be pedestals for statues of
men who had spent the whole of their lives for the advance-
ment of 'civice and the development of those theories which
had been first surmised by ancient philosophers. But the

feelings of the University, had, from her own purse, contri-
buted flee of these statues, and 200 bachelors of arts and
undergraduates, acting under the same feeling, had contri-
buted two more. As th. y had ecmaseuced this good work
in a

`a two years the architect might have the pleasure of behold-
'g a building which, for usegnilleence of design and for
,venience, could not be surpassed, din sight of
old towers which f ll them with reverence for their
benefactors. The company then dieperaeJ, after sing-
