Mr. Layard was entertained to a breakfast by the stu-
dents of Marischal College and University, Aberdeen, in
the County Rooms, on Thursday morning. The attend-
ance comprised also many ladies and gentlemen. Mr. R.
Stephen, student of divinity, occupied the chair.
Mr. LAYARD, who was warmly receivedsaid—A short
time ago he read a recent popular history, which gave a
somewhat unfavourable account of the inhabitants of the
north of Scotland—when the thought occurred that he
might have to exercise some discipline. (A. laugh.) But if
the Highlanders—and he believed they were represented
there —were formerly such as described by Mr. Macaulay
certainly they were very much reformed. (Laughter.) He
(Mr. Layard) did not agree with Mr. Macaulay, and he
did not think, speaking from facts he had seen, the
Highlanders of Scotland deserved the character the his-
torian gave them. When a young man, he (Mr. Layard)
had a wish to see the world, especially that kind of life
which prevailed:among the Highlanders, and he had spent
two years among tribes, the habits of which were, he
presumed, very much those of the Highlanders of Scot-
land—tribes which bad a greater liking for their neigh-
bour's sheep than their own, and would cross the border
to carry off that neigbour's cattle. Such proceedings ap-
peared very doubtful, no doubt, to us, with our modern
habits, but they must remember that they were looked
upon in a very different light by those people—even as a
fair warfare and the performance of an honourable duty
—and he must say, that he had ever found that gene-
rosity, warm hospitality, and other
.virtues distin-
guished such tribes—(cheers)--and to say that those
ancient Highlanders were actuated only by sordid
motives and petty str'fes—those men who showed
such attachment to their chief, whom they looked up
to as their prince, and for whom they were ever
ready to sacrifice their lives—who were so imbued with
a spirit of loyalty—was to tell them what no man in his
senses would believe. (Cheers.) Having no judicial
duties to perform as rector, he (Mr. Layard) began to
think whether he could not be of some other use to the
college with which he was connected, as he considered
no man had a right to assume a position and perform no
duties. He would not detain them at that moment with
the subject of the union of the Universities, but would
merely say, that this question was one affecting not
merely that college and Kng's College, but affecting the
education of the north of Scotland. (Cheers.) He did
think, as the Chairman had said, that it was the duty of
all to pull together, in order to bring this question to a
satisfactory conclusion. It was so intimately connected
with education in Scotland that he was every day more
and more convinced of the necessity of bringing it to an
issue. They (Marischal College) had nobly borne their
part, and the struggle should be continued till the ar-
rangements were such as that the students of Marischal
College would be enabled to compete for every office that
Government might throw open to public competition.
The Lord-Advocate, Lord Aberdeen, and other members
of Parliament—all agreed with him (Mr. Layard) in
wishing to bring this question to a satisfactory issue (ap-
plause), and nothing should be wanting on his part to
that end ; and, when the time came for him to resign his
present office, he hoped he should be able to say not that
he had effected this, but that he had borne a bumble
part in bringing this question to a conclusion. (Great
cheering.) Since he last addressed them questions of
great public importance bad been discussed. After a
struggle, scarcely equalled in intensity in the annals of
war, Sebastopol had fallen—( oud applause)—and there
was every probability that by the end of the month we
should have a treaty of peace signed. Very few public
men desired war, and peace in the abstract was certainly
more to be wished for. But be (Mr. Layard) had no con-
fidence that the present peace would be, on the whole,
a satisfactory one ; and there was scarce a man to
found, from the Land's-end to John O'Graat's house, but
would like another year of war. The reason was that,
looking upon the question in a political light, its aspect
was not such as would warrant a lasting peace ; and,
secondly, there was a general impression—and that was
no small matter—that Britain would be better entitled
to the position she assumed in the world if we had an-
other year's war, to show that the're was that in English-
men which conquered every difficulty. With regard to
the general question, he thought we left things pretty
much in the same state as when we began. It was true
we bad protected Turkey, and kept back Russia to a
certain degree. Russia might rejoice to put an end to
her action in the Black Sea, and so far Turkey would be
protected on that side. But so far as the great ques-
tion of religious and political liberty was concerned, it
remained pretty much the same as when we began. It
had always appeared to him that these great point•
should have been taken into serious consideration, so
that, - when the war was brought to a conclusion, the
Government would have been able to justify it by point-
ing to something baying been done with regard to those
great objects as to which be feared that before many
years elapsed we should have to go to war again. With
regard to Turkey, something bad been done for her pro-
tection, and he hoped she would make some progress
in civilisation. The Sultan himself was an excellent
character—exceedingly amiable; he had done all in his
power to promote the cause of civilisation and religious
liberty in his country. It was very true the Govern
ment of Turkey was not so good nor so honest as it
might be. But we nau,t make a distinction bet oveen a
Government and a people, and his experience led him to
think that in Turkey they were much the same as here—
there are men who make apoint to take care of " Dowb."
He believed, however, that a more honest, amiable,
and quiet people than the Turks did not exist, and he
doubted not many of them bad been exceedingly
touched by their admirable conduct during the terrible
siege of Kars, as recorded by Dr. Sandwith. Such men
were entitled to sympathy, and contributed to take from
their nation that reproach which their Government
brought upon it. The lion. gentleman then entered
into some earticulara of the siege of Kars. He hoped
the advantages which Turkey would enjoy from this
war would enable it to reform its institutions and de-
velope its resources, and, in that view, something would
have been gained at least by the ear. His second ob-
jection to peace was, that he did not think the country
aas likely to leave off in such a creditable way as it
might. Having been present during the first three
months of the siege of Sebastopol, he saw during that
time enough to convince him that the system of ma-
raging affairs was bad, and that altogether there' was a
laxity in our military system that would lead to disaster
and suffering. On his return to England, he hesitated
not to utter his opinion on the subject freely—whether
he was justified in doing so he left them to judge.
He might have made mistakes—put the saddle on the
wrong horse, but great allowance must be made for the
excitement one felt _after returning from those scenes
which be had witnessed in the Crimea. (Cheers.) He
wished to act an honest and independent part--to call
attention to the true state of matters in the Crimea, to
have the guilty brought to justice, to see that no man
should be protected by the influence of those in power.
If he bad erred, it was because be had not acted the part,
as some would say, of "a discreet man." (Cheers.)
Discretion was all very excellent, but indiscretion often
meant merely saying what another did not think right;
and he had nothing to gain but everything to lose by
the course he had pursued. In the Crimea he found
that the regimental officers and the men—those on
whom most rested the duty of maintaining the glory
of England—had not met with the support which those
had received to whom our misfortunes were to be at-
tributed, and who had merely the influence of power
to protect them. He wished to have this evil cor-
rected. The regimental officers had no influence, they
were not looked upon at the Horse Guards- and until
very lately no officer lower in rank than a captain could
receive any mark of distinction—a state of things which
was contrary to the genius of a free country. In the
House of Commons, the military men who had thriven
by this system defended it, and bitterly attacked those
who said a word against it ; bat this was not to be won-
dered at, as they owed their position to it. And if that
system were changed, and position could be gained by an
educational test, he would like to know where they
would be. It was only the other night that one of them
took a whole year to answer a speech of his (Mr. Layard's)
and he then read most of it from a manuscript in such
bad grammar and bad English as he should be sorry to
see any student of Marischal College exhibit. All the
good that might be done had not been done, but the
country was thoroughly alive to the rottenness of the
system, and he trusted some change would be effected.
Alluding to the failure of the attack on the Redan, Mr.
Layard raid, wherever the blame lay, the regimental etfi.
cers and men had nobly done their duty, and these were
the very men whom he wished to see rewarded. But for
the gallantry displayed at the Redan, the Government
had refused to award any distinction—a proceeding which
was calculated to discourage our troops when similar de-
votion was needed. Mr. Layard next alluded to regimen-
tal surgeons, highly eulagising their serviQes. There had
been no nobler incident in the history of the campaign
than the devotion displayed by Dr. Thompson in taking
charge of the Russian wounded after the battle of the
Alma ; but even had that noble hero survived, and not
fallen a sacrifice to his sense of duty, he could not have
been rewarded as others had been. Those who sought
this change might be liable to misrepresentation, and the
discussion of the subject might give rise to angry feel-
logs ; yet, just as the ocean was purified by the storm
that wrecked many a noble vessel, so it required such
storms to bring about a healthy atmosphere in the poli-
tical world, and he trusted that this storm would have
the effect of producing a healthy action in the manage.
meat of every branch of the public service. The hon.
gentleman concluded by repeating that he was actuated
by no other motive than a desire to do his duty honestly,
and they reformed their public institutionslie ,
and that,
trusted they would also reform their private institu-
Cone, so to speak—viz , the Universities, and he hoped
when the time came for him to retire from his office, he
should be able to point to something which would justify
the students in having gone out of their course to salad.

On Thursday afternoon Mr. Layard, M.P., was re-
installed as Lord Rector of Marischal College and Uni-
versity, Aberdeen. The bait was densely crowded, and
among those present were the Lord Provost and magis-
strates, the professors of the University and professors
of King's College and University, many of the ministers
of the city, and a large number of ladies.
Mr. Layard was received with much applause. The
Very Rev: Principal Dewar opened the proceedings by
prat sr—after which Dr. Cruickshank, the secretary to
Maiischal College and University, administered to Mr.
Layard the oath of office.
Mr. LAYARD then addressed the students and audi-
ence. He thanked the students very heartily for the
distinguished honour they load again conferred on him
in again electing him as their Lord Rector, and the more
especially as the election had been unanimous, which,
if not unprecedented, was most unusual, especially with
such a choice as the students had had in the nobleman
and hon. gentleman who, though proposed, had most
h,nourably withdrawn from the contest. (Cheers.) Mr.
Layard then remarked on the eventful year which they
had just passed through, and alluded to the misrepre-
sentations to which he, with other public men, had
been subjected. He had received many rude shocks ;
but it was, perhaps, not the amount of praise or
blame a man received from what were usually called
the organs of public opinion, but from the position a man
held in the estimation of his countrymen, that he could
be best tested ; and especially it was to such demonstra-
tions of confidence as those they had shown to him that
day to which he could more safely and surely refer. Mr.
Layard then proceeded to state that instead of giving
them a formal address, as was customary at such instal-
lations, he would proceed at once to the subject of a
union of the Universities of Aberdeen, in which he felt
a special and deep interest. Oa this subject, he said,
there is a daily increasing desire throughout the United
Kingdom that education should be the test to all public
appointments, and I do notthink that any gentleman who
hears me will wish that the north of Scotland should be
in any respect behind the other parts of the kingdom.
And if such be our conviction we must strive to put these
Colleges upon a footing to compete not only with Scot-
land, but with England. It behoves us to consider how
this can be effected—how we are to direct our efforts to
increase the advantages which these institutions confer
upon the people in the north of Scotland. I believe that
education can be brought to the highest standard in this
city. I have good hopes that in no part of England shall
you be surpassed. Scotland has ever enjoyed a high re-
putation for education. I stated last year, however super-
ficially acquainted with the education of Scotland, I
knew that Scotland in the history of the United King-
dom had ever shone forth, if not the first, among the very
first in the education of her sons. (Cheers.) This is a just
aud.natural source of pride to the Scotch, and I think it
is time to place the Universities in a position to retain
their old honours. The time, indeed, is eminently favour.
ably to maintaining the edecational position of Scotland,
and I think it can be done without any sacrifice of essen-
tial interests er privileges. There is at this time a com-
bination of circumstances such as rarely occurs. In the
first place, Lord Aberdeen, who unites more than any other
man love of country, the north of Scotland, with a deep
and earnest interest in all that is calculated to raise
the intellectual standard of Scotland—a man who also
possesses a deep interest in all that relates to classical
literature, who is a most polished scholar, and a man of
very varied information—(cheers)—he at this moment
feels a very lively interest in this question, and has au-
thorised me to state publicly that we shall have his
a-dent co-operation and warmest sympathy. (Cheers.)
My friend the Lord Advocate, a gentleman equally in-
terested in the education of Scut'and, and who during the
time he has held his honourable position in the House of
Commons has distinguished himself by his eloquence
and warm application to the interrts of Scotland, and
has earned for himself the confidence of the House of
Commons, has authorised me to say that he will give his
best aid and the aid of the Government he represents,
ea any well, digested scheme for the union of the two
Universities—(cheers)—that nothing shall be scan ing
on his part, and r n the part of Government he will in-
troduce a bill and issue a commission. He promises to
do all that, and we cannot expect more from him in his
official position as Lord Advocate. Your member, Mr.
Thompson, has expressed a very lively interest in this
question ; he has also authorised me to say that nothing
shall be wanting on his part to bring about a satisfactory
termination of this important question. (Cheers.) You
have thus three great authorities with you, and I need
scarcely say that, so far as my humble endeavours are
concerned, they shall be entireiy devoted to this subject,
and the litt e ability I possess shall be at your service.
Applause.) I believe the municipality and other bodies
in Aberdeen are equally anxi ms, and upon them we can
equally depend. Then, from the Principal to all the Pro-
fessors, there is the desire to act as one man, and to do
what is right to promote the cause of education. They
have no selSsh motives in the matter, but a wish to
consult the good of the public, and to perform all the
duties imposed upon them in an impartial spirit. (Hear.)
I do think it would be unpardonable in us to lose such
an opportunity. In a few days the Lord-Advocate will
introduce a general scheme for Scottish education, and I
should be glad if at that period he could announce a mea-
sure on so important a subject as the higher education,
and that the universities in the north of Scotland should
be placed upon a satisfactory basis. Now, there are many
questions connected with this subject which for the public
interest require mature deliberation. My own impression,
, I believe shared by the whole North of Scotland, is that
the Universities should be united. (Applause.) Upon
that point no one has a d iubt. As to the constitution of
the University I entertain a strong opinion, which, I be-
lieve, is also generally shared, that it should be placed
upon the most liberal basis possible ; all the graduates of
the University to have a voice in the affairs connected
with it, and that no rights which the students have
hitherto enjoyed should be taken away. (Applause.)
With regard to the Colleges, I think it is als r desirable
that these ancient institutions—venerable from their an-
tiquity —endeared to you all, should enjoy the manage-
ment of their own particular affairs. (Applause.) I
baleve, if a commission is to be issued—and I presume
it will be necessary—it will have to confine its labours
to ascertaining how the professershiA should be distri-
buted, so as to enable the two Colleges to afford the
very best system of education, and to confer the greatest
possible amount of good upon the public. You must re-
member that, so far as regards the Government, this is
a question es-entielly affecting the puhlic. We cannot
call upon Government to take an interest in the question,
unless they may thereby be doing a public good. We
cannot ask them mere'y to provide for the interests of the
two Colleges, but because by doing so they are promot-
ing the interests of education in Scotland, and conferring
a great publics good upon this city and the north. (Ap-
plause.) Now I think, at present, we must all admit that
we are some what behindhand in what is required in the
modern standard of education ; that is, that there are
many chairs required at this moment, in which both
Marischal College and King's Collegeare deficient. At
present the standard of examination put forward by the
[last India Company is very high, as also the examina-
tion to be passed through for every public department.
I threw out a hint last year from this place that educa-
tion is becoming somewhat too superficial in England.
I did not Novi& Scotland, because I did not think the
evil was se great. I alluded to the system of what is
called "cramming "—young men devoting a few hours
to loading the memory with facts which they would pro-
bably forget as soon as the examioatioa was past, but
which would be of no future use to them. Ido not think
that has been the case here, and we have had two or three
remarkable proofs of it. Among these who have passed
first-class examinations in the artillery were two students
in this University. I aen proud to mention their names
—Mr. Duncan and Mr. Keith. Ido not mention these
names because they have taken these honours, nor as
subjects of congratulation to you as students, and of just
pride to me as Rector, but as proofs that the education
imparted here is not superficial. I understand those gen-
tlemen went to the India-house and found that the ex-
amination was such as the education at this College did
not enable them to go through ; but in another branch
`for which they fitted themselves they took high honours
—a striking proof that they were well grounded and not
" cratnmed,' • that tbe Professors had prepared these
young gentlemen in such a manner as that they need not
fear any examination. That conferred equal credit upon
themselves and upon those who had the care of their edu-
cation. And last year, as I understand, the first East
India medical appointment was gained by an Aberdeen
student. These remarks lead me to a very important
consideration. One question to be considered in con-
nexion with this union is isi regard To the Professors'
classes--whether they shall be amalgamated or retained
distinct. In Scotland the system is very different from
that which prevails in England, and I think your sys-
tem is far better tban ours, where the Professor merely
takes the chair amid delivers a lecture to his stu-
dents. Here tbe Professor not only lectures, but enters
into direct communication with the students, and
by examination is able to see how far they have pro-
fited by his instructions. I confess I think this is a most
admirable plan, and I think it is owing to this that we
have seen the successful competition in England which
I have mentioned. I should be very sorry to see the
classes so large as to interfere with the intercourse which
exists here between the Professor and student. (Cheers.)
I asked a gentleman to-day the meaning of the very
warm reception that was given to ioneeof the Professors
this morning at the breakfast—l need not mention his
name—and the reply was that the students looked upon
him as a father. (Applause.) Well, this is what I wish
to see, the pupil looking on the Professor as a father.
And here let me allude to a very melancholy subject..
Since I last bad the honour of addressing you you have
lost a man upon whose high talents I had the greatest
reliance. I think we must all feel deep grief at the loss"
f such a valuable instructor as Professor Gray. Now,
there are several chairs which are wanting in this Uni-
versity. The mere you raise the standard of education
the more you need these ; and, as the standard of educe-
cation is rising every day, I do not think, in justice to
ourselves, we can remain without these chairs. The
question, then, is, how professorships corresponding to
this want can be established. I think this question de-
pends very much upon the union. Ido not go into it
further at present than to indicate one er two chairs ;
when the question comes to be settled then will be the
time to dispose of that. Now you have no chair of his-
tory in Mariscbal College—l mean essentially modern
history, philosophically considered. That is now a mat-
ter essential to every liberal education. Undoubtedly,
ancient history has its value. It seta before us great ex-
amples, affects the imagination, and excites to lofty
deeds; but still it does not give that practical acquain-
tance with the state of Europe—with what are called po-
litics—which is essential to every young man who wishes
to enter into the more important branches of the public
service. I should be very anxious to see a chair of modern
history in Aberdeen. I think it is essential to the public
men that they should be well grounded in the history Gf

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—SHREWSBURY, Manors 22.
FELONIOUSLY WOUNDING A GAMEKEEPER.
James Powell, a strong, active young countryman,
was charged with feloniously wounding James Rase,
with intent to disable him.
The prosecutor, who is gamekeeper to Co). Rushout,
met with the prisoner on Sunisty morning, the 29th of
Oct., with a rabbit in his pocket. He attempted to take
it from him, but a struggle ensued, in which Rose hit
Powell on tee head with a life preserver, laying it open.
Subsequently, the prisoner went into his master's house,
close by, but immediately afterwards followed Rose along
some fields. • Rose, seeing prisoner coming, threatened to
shoot him. However, he managed to " dodge" under the
gun, and closed with the keeper. A deadly struggle en-
sued, but as the prisoner was a much more powerful man
than Rose he had the advantage, and so terribly did he
beat him, that Rose, since that time, completely lost all
recollection of the affray. Tho keeper's gun was broken,
and blood and hair were found on the cock, This struggle
took place about 200 yards from the house at whichpri-
Boner lived as servant, in the parish of Burford. Not long
after the prisoner had left Rose, the latter was disco-
vered in a wheat field, curled up like a dog. He was so
disfigured as to be unrecognisable,and it was not for some
weeks that he was declared out of (larger. Since then
Rose's recollection had failed him, and he was greatly in-
jured in consequence of the treasinent he had received.
The prisoner was found guilty, but sentence was de-
ferred.

MORRIS V MADDOX.— BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.
Mr. Whatelev, Q C., and Mr. Davis w• re counsel for
the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Pigott and Mr. Scotland
for the defen lant. -
The plaintiff in this action was a young woman pos-
sessing considerable personal attractions, 28 years of age,
and the daughter of a widow residing at Ironbridge, in
this county. Tne defendant was a miller and farmer,
well to do in the world, absut 30 ye trs of age, residing
near to the village of Harley, in Shropshire. In that
village, is an inn called the Unicorn, kept by a brother-
in-law of the plaintiff, and in the course of his visits to
the hostelrie in question, in March, 1850, he became
acquainted with Miss Morris, who was on a visit to
her sister, Mrs. Langford. An intimacy sprang up
which ripened into love, and this state continued with-
out being interrupted to September, 1851. At that
time Mr. Langford gave a dinner to some of his friends,
the principal guest being Mr. Maddox, who was sup
ported on one side by Miss Morris, and on the other by
a sister of p)aintiffs. She seemed then paricularly in-
timate, and defendant was often heard to express his in-
tention of making "Ann" his wits. In March, 1852,
in consequence of a misadventure, by which Miss Morris
became in the family-way, she left Harley, and went to
a sister's at Leamington to be confined. No letters had
passed bet seen the plaintiff and defendant.
Mrs. Hodgett, of Leamington, spoke t> the plaintiff
having promised to marry her sister. The child was
affiiliated upon the defendant, and he had to pay 2s. 61.
per week for it.
The landlord of the Unicorn, Harley, declared that
the defendant was received at his house, not as a custo-
mer, bst as a visitor, and his attentions and expressions
towards plaintiff led him to believe he would marry her,
even after tie chill was born. However, plaintiff did
not visit the Unicorn after that, but was married in
August, 1855, to Miss Cnarlotte Weaver, of Much Wen-
lock.
Mr. Sergeant Pigott made a humorous speech for the
defendant, contending that no distinct promise had been
made—nothing more than a few idle words addressed to a
good-looking young woman in her brother-in-law's bar.
If such expressions were to be construed into a promise
of marriage, no one would be safe. The conduct of the
defendant was evidently that of a man who had gone too
often to the Unicorn and drank too much ale, under the
influence of which he had been uttering a great deal of
nonsense.
The learned Baron, in summing up, said he ageed with
the learned counsel for the defendant that a man ought
not lightly to be made responsible for a little trifling
speaking to a woman ; .and the first question for the
jury, of course, would be whether any promise had
been made by the defendant. The witnesses for the
plaintiff had evidently given their evidence in a straight-
forward manner, but they might have been deceived.
He left it to the jury to decide whether the conduct
and language of the defendant, were sufficient to prove
that he had distinctly promised to marry her. If not,
their verdict must be for the defendant. He did not ad-
mire these actions, and could scarcely understand how a
woman could have the indelicacy to drag a man into
court after having fallen out with him. The case was
different when three years of a young woman's life had
been spent with the conviction that she should be mar-
ried to a man, and that after that time she was prevented
by the shame brought upon her by him from marrying
any one else. If they found that the defendant had made
a promise of marriage, they would give such damages as
were reasonable, having regard to the circumstances of
the defendant.
The jury, after consulting some time, retired, and
after half an hour's absence returned into court with a
verdict for the plaintiff—damages 2001.

EXTRAORDINARY DIIRGLARY AT lIAITXTON.

John Bowman, a bricklayer's labourer, 35, and Robert
John Barker, 28, a barber, both Cambridge men, were
charged with burglariousiy entering the dwelling-house
of Samuel Howard, at Hauxton. on the sight of the 29th
of June, 1855, and teloniou,ly beating and wounding
the said Saineel Howard, and stealing 819 sovereigns,
his property ; and Mary Pewlett, 33, was charged with
re?,eiving 201. of the said money, knowing it to be stolen.
Mr. Cooper and Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prose-
cution ; and Mr. Tozer, Mr. Mi 11..,, and Alr. Naylor, were
severally engaged for the defence. It appears that
Howard, the prosecutor, is an old man of 70 years of age,
living at at a lone cottage at Hauxton, with a bed-ridden
and imbecile wife of 85, and it was generally understood
by the neighbours that they were living in a state
of great poverty, and ti.ey received their share
of charity, coals, &c. But it was known to one
Robson, a distant relative, f. rmerly a policeman, who
n ,w and then visited the old folks, that they were pos-
sessed of a large sum of gold, and he propounded the
burglary to two companions—viz., Bowman and Barker
—and the night fir..'d for their daring exploit was Tram-
pington feast, Trurnpington being an adjoining village.
-About midnight, therefore, the thieves gained an easy
AMU inte tin cottage by the window ; but the ohl m3n
