ME. CARLYLE AND THE UNIVERSITY OP EDIN,
BOUM.— A worthy successor to Mr. Gladstone is the lord
rector's chair of the University of Edinburgh is likely, we
ere glad to believe, to be found in Thomas thelyle—who
has claims upon the howarable office mien at owe from
his Scotch bath, from his youthful monection with the Uni-
versity, and from his almost andiepned place at the head
of our living writers. At a large meeting of "students op-
posed to the elsotios of Mr. Disraeli," held on Wednesday
sight, a number of candidates—among them Mr. J. Stuart
Mill and Sir R. Murchison—were moored ; but the few sin-
= the rival Dominoes cordially'
withdrew their men in
W the claims of Mr. Carlyle and, amid general
eatimiesse, resolved to unite with hie original supporters in
W work of securiM his election. It is sot cooesivable that
the olivine of Edinburgh can bat chores for their Lord
Rector • man who is in • manner kith mod kin with them,
and on whom the honour of their choice would sit so kindly;
and we have the beet authority for the statement that Mr.
Carlyle, if chosen will accept, and will enter heartily into
Ow interests and labours of the ofthe.-Bcotession.
The Caledonian Mercury says :—" Considerable ex-
citement has been caused in Kelso by the remarkablenooduct
of the miaister of the perish at the far/1000D diet of warship

fact that the Priem and Prioress Louis of Heine would
attend the thumb in the forsnooo, but on entering the pulpit

appeared. Inebtad of going on with the service as usual he
coolly seated himself in the pulpit to await their arrive!,
leaving the astonished congregation in weeiderable maw

not lass than 20 minutes, during which time the reverend

reverend gent *man at lest gave oat the psalm, during
which the lomplooked-for 'Jailors entered the Duke*, Rol-
burghe's seat. Oa seeing that they had at length made
their appearance, the preacher gave ant the psalm over
again. The mending, then went on in the usual unoser ;

SLNOLILLII ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN
—Lest eight a singular accident occurred at the termini of
the Great Northers Railway, at King's-cross, which nearly
resulted fatally in me inseam and but for fortuitous eir-
cumstanese might have proved much more serious than it
has done. At about six o'clock in the evening • tender
drawing forty heavily lades coal tracks was passing through
the Copenhagen tunnel, when the greater portion of the
trucks, without the knowledge of either engine-driver or
guard, became detached. The tender with the few re-
maloieg trucks continued the journey, and branched of
regularly into the coal depot at King'Perces, and the olg.
oilman, supposing the whole of the coal train had arrived.
signalled the lien clear. Meanwhile the detached trucks
which had been left behind jest at the commencement of
an incline gradually increased in momeotum and dashed
along at a tremendous pace. Upon emerging into the light
the guard in the break van at the rear of the trucks dis-
covered the accoidont that had happened, and immediately
applied the break, but uotwithstaoding this the trucks
dashed rapidly into the termini at King's-craes instead of
turning off to their proper destination at the coal depot.
At this juncture the guard, perceiving the inevitable con-
sequences, leaped on to the platform end need himself from
injury. The truck', continuing their career, dashed right
through the station, partly broke deco, and partly leaped

and precipitated themselves into the thoroughfare.
