PRINCIPALSHIP OP GLASGOW COLLEGZ...-ThiS
office, vacant by the death of the Venerable Dr. Miamian,
has, we rejoice to learn, been conferred upon the Rev. Dr.
Thomas Barclay, of Currie. Dr. Barclay hoe segued the

an excellent linguist ; and has of late years devoted much
attention to biblical criticism. Bois a capital man of business

adorn the church courts. —Seaman.

IE CASE OF JANE STora..—A public subscrip-
tion In behalf of this poor girl—the victim of the recent
murderous assault at Tor—is to be set on foot ; aasuggeeted
by us last week. The poor girl to mutilated and disfigured
for life, and will, after her confinement, be thrown upon
the world in a state of utter destitution. She is a native of
Easier, in which city resides her mother, a widow, whom
humble circumstances will not enable bee to give her

SauggerK—eltghtest 7ssisUnoe.We feel enured that
Esnians should have a band in this matte; and now, in
their Christmas festivities, will mark their sympathy for
the victim of base and murderous designs. It is hoped
that a sufficient sum will be realised to purchase a small
annuity for the poor girl.— Woolens Times.
A CALCULATING MACHINE FOR THE REOIS-
TRAR-GENERAL.—I. may be remembered that a calculating
machine by en illiPlllotl.ll Swedish inventor and engineer, M.
Schen; was breught to this country two years ago for ex-
hibition. Scientific men praised it, and Sir. Babbage him-
self had the generality to commend it as admirably adapted
to the end proposed. The machine was one night exhibited
,at the meeting of the Institute of Civil Engineers. An
American gentleman who was present saw the machine,
heard the testimonies given to its value, and in a few days it
was on its way to the Lowell Observatory. Since that time
the offer to the British government to construct a more per.
feet instrument has been renewed, and the publication of a
volume of various tables has made the practical uses of the
Invention better known. We are glad to hear that an order
has lately been given to M. Schatz to make a machine for
the Reg-General's office. This liberality is due, we
believe, to Sir George Cornwall Lewis, who brought the
matter to the notice of Major Graham and Dr. Farr.—
