arity, his
protegi having earned his sympathy by being a tailor
out of work—" high art" had so humanised his feel'
that he couldn't bear to see a tailor out of work—_and
he maintained him. After remaining a fortnight with
the landlord—pretending that he had Ivork from the
stationers, the "high artist was no more seen—nor

ELECTION OF LORD RECTOR
OF GLASGOW UNIVERSITY.
GLASGOW, MONDAY AFTERNOON.
This election has been decided to day, after a very
keen struggle. Lord John Russell has been defeated
by Mr. Mure, of Caldwell, M.P. for Renfrewshire.
The defeat is the more marked as it has been almost
the universal custom to return the Lord Rector for
the second year, Lord John having been elected to
the office in 1846, when he was unsuccessfully op-
posed by Mr. Wordsworth.
The following is the state of the poll:
NATIO LOUDORIANA.
Lord John Russell 43

WRECK of the STEPHEN WHITNEY
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.

The following letter has been received to•da3 :
" Canton House, Skibbereen, Nov. 13.

" Gentlemen,—Being informed by the chief mate
of the unfortunate Stephen Whitney packet•ship that
you are agents for the property, I beg leave to in-
troduce myself as the Receiver of Droits of the Ad-
miralty in this district, and to state that I am making
every possible exertion to secure whatever portion
may be saved; and I regret to say there appears a
disposition to secrete rather than give up the goods.
However, I hope by intimidation and inducement to
persuade the salvors that honesty is the best policy.
I am just returning from Crookhaven and Skull, and
proceed to-morrow to Baltimore and along that coast,
where some articles have been removed.

" I shall be most happy to meet your wishes in any
way my services can be available on this distressing
occasion.—l have the honour to be yours, very cbe-
diently, " H. HIGGINSON,
" Receiver of Droits of Admiralty.
_

" Me3srs. S. and J. Sands."
" P.S. There are but 10 bales of cotton, 56
cheeses, and 17 casks of rosin saved up to yesterday;
but I hope to report considerably more to-morrow or
next day. When there is a quantity it will be ne-
cessary to make further arrangements than those
done."
