GLASGOW UNIVERSITY-THE

LORD RECTORSIIIP.

is
We understand that it intended by a large section of
the students of the University again to bring forward
Lord Palmerston for the offv.ia of Lord Rector, at the ap-
proaching thaition. It will be recollected that last year
the rival candidates were Mr. Sheriff Alison and Lord
Palmerston—that the " Nations" were equally divided
on the occasion—and that, on Mr. T. B. Macaulay de-
clining to exercise his right of giving the casting vote,
Colonel Mare, on whom that duty devolved, decided in
favour of Mr. Alison. There were few, we believe, who
grudged our excellent and learned Sheriff the distinguish( d
honour which was thus conferred upon him. liowover
people might differ in regard to his palitica and econo-
mical views, there coull only exist one opinion as to his
qualifications, on may eminent grounds, to adorn the
rectorial chair. The desire, however, which has arisen
to contest his re election at this time, has originated in
various urgent considerations, and will not, it is hoped,
le regarded as ungracious. Lord Palmerstone is now
in the zenith of his great fame, and the present tranquil
state of the political horiz in seems peculiarly favourable
for securing !L visit to our city of the Noble Secretary for
Foreign A (fairs. Although, as a general rule, the
Rector is allowed to retain office for two years, there
are now several precedents for an annual change, and
hence, we aro informed, the movement how in progress
in favour of not allowing the present—perhaps last—
opportunity to pass of adding the brilliant name of
Palmerston to the illustrious roll of statesmen, philoso•
phers, and orators, which dignity our University annals.

LORD MAYOR'S DAY.—The most extensive pre-
parations are making for the ensuing civic pageant, which
will take place on Mon3ay, the it 0 h inst., the 9th falling on
a Sunday. The procession will be arranged by Mr. Fenton,
the scenic artist, in a style similar to what took place last
year. The whole of Mr. Batty's stud of horses, &c., will
again be employed, as well as the equestrian corps attached
to the amphitheatre, all of whom will appear in splendid
costumes and suits of armotuh, which are being made ex-
pressly, ft
armour of the period of Francis the
First and Henry

is said that there dheersei-willsbe the unusual number of eighteen

THEATRICAL NEWS. We may expect great
h n es in the theatrical world between this and the forth-
comingag season. The Keens and the Keeleys dissolve part-
ership; and Mr. Keeley, with his old partner, Mr. Strutt,
will again embark their capital at another house in the me-
tropolis. Mr. Bourcicault is writing a new comedy for them.
Mr. Alfred Wigan is to be the new stage manager. Paris is
very gay, and amongst the present visitors are to be seen
Mr. and Mrs. Keeley, Wigan, Webster, and several others of
the theatrical profession. --Era.
The municipal elections throughout the country
on Saturday appear to have excited very little interest. In
several boroughs there were no contests at all, whilst in by
far the greater number they were partial, extending only to
three or four wards. The Liberal interest seems, upon the
whole, to have retained its ascendancy. The election of
mayors on the 9th inst. promises, with few exceptions, to be
equally remarkable for the absence of opposition.
Mr. Lumley, of her Majesty's Theatre, has taken
a gentleman well known in the theatrical world as an excel-
lent manager of the pecuniary department into partnership,
and he is busily engaged with him in Paris at the present
time. We also learn that he has entered into several impor-
tant engagements with most eminent artistes, who have
astonished the Russian and Prussian capitals, but who have
not yet made their debut in this metropolis. One of them,
report says, will be a second Jenny Lind.— Era.
KOSSUTH'S VISIT TO MANCHESTER.—On Friday
Mr. George Wilson and a deputation waited upon M. Kossuth
at Mr. Massingberd's residence, in Eaton place. in order to
request him to pay a visit to Manchester. M. Kossuth ac.
cepted the invitation, and it was finally arranged that lie
should visit Manchester on the 11th instant; and on that
evening be will receive addresses in the l'ree-trade Hall.
We understand that M. Kossuth w be the guest of
Mr. Alexander Henry, M.P., at Woodlands.—Manchester
Guardian.
Mr. W. Currie is appointed police magistrae for
the district of the metropolis. Mr. Corrie was deputy
steward of the Palace Court at the period of the abolition
,•
and the annual compensation then awarded to him is saved
to the public, and is to be deducted from his present salary
awordiog to the dechgou of the, beaattry.

SPORTING NOTES.
CLII.
A FEW FACTS CONCERNING THE LATE
HOUGIITON MEETING WITH A GLANCE
AT THE EPSOM. AUTUMN SPORT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The late meeting at Newmarket was an un-
commonly busy one; it commenced early on Monday and
extended over the whole week, every day being replete
with very interesting sport. One of the strange facts of
the weak was the re-appearance of Lady Evelyn as it
winner under the new ownership of Lord 'Wilton, and
though her running has been execrable during the sear
at light weights, she comes out in the D. I. Handicapliate,
and with the top weiEht of Bst 71b up, wins cleverly.
Fact the second refers to the Goodwood stable, all the
once reported cracks for neat year's Derby; the wonders
that were to be done by that stable have turned out moon-
shine; not one among the whole lot having the most ghostly
chance of winning the great Surrey event next year.
The crowning finale to their blunders being the wretched
defeat of Houlakin by Hesperus, Magnes, and Winge-
nund, in the Glasgow Stakes. Fact the third is the
strange but truthful one that Truth's qualities should
have been so thoroughly overlooked, as was plain from
her race two days atter the Cambridgeshire, when she
carried the great weight of 7et 121 b, and beat, among
others, Prime Minister, Lllza Middleton, and Phlegra,
proves that she is a mare almost of the first class instead
of one of the third or fourth, as she has hitherto been
rated. Among the minor facts of the past week, it may
be recorded that Claverhouse has been the fancy nag for
the Derby, as little as 15 to 1 having been
taken about him. Augur, Kingston, Orelio, Women-
ley. Little Harry, and Lapidtst, have also found
many supporters, and in one or two instances for heavy
sums. Little or nothing else of any consequence was
codonobenseidein„rhting the
the betting on future events. The settling,
public were the losers, was a very good
The principal losers of the week are Sir Joseph
Hawley and the backers of his stable; it is said that they
dropped 10,0001.
The Epsom Autumn Meeting extends over two days,
Monday being devoted to flat racing and Wednesday to
Epsom cross country work. The Autumn Handicap of
200 sovs., added to a sweepstakes of 10 soya. each, h ft,

weights I must attempt the selection of a winner, which
will turn up in all probability in Iscara, Dort
JSDRo,
Or INGRATITUDE, the first named for choice.
The ,Bed-
dington Stakes of 10 sovs. each, h ft, with 100 added,
&c., one mile, has a very large entry indeed, some nine
or ten of whom will be found at the post. The
race, I fancy, will lie between Merry Bird.
The, Epirus, and Ithuriel fillies, Merry Bird
to win; Ethelwolf, Agnes Wickfield, and Valentine's
day running well up. The Bentinck Plate of 100 soya.,
one mile, is a bit of a puzzle, but for better or worse I
shall seize upon Lamartine or Theorem as the winner.
I shall expect to see Manifold well up. The Two Year
Old Selling Stakes, the Paddock Stakes, and the Selling
Stakes are not yet closed.
On Wednesday Mr. Carew with Miss MOWBRAY or
the BRITISH YEOMAN Ought to win the Epsom Autumn
Steeple Chase, Maria Day and Melford being second
and third, with Spring Buck inclose attendance. If
Mr. Carew does not win the Walton Free Handicap
Steeple Chase with his Victrees and Co., I expect the'
General will, Forest Lad being second or third. The
Free Handicap Hurdle Race' I fancy, will be carried off
by Bullfinch or Gimcrack. This speculation, however,
is made in the dark, as the acceptances are not out.
