GLASGOW UNIVERSITY.

The election of a Lord Rector of Glasgow University
took place on Monday. The Liberal candidate was the
[ion. Robert Lowe ; and the Conservative, Lord Stanley.
The rector is the official president of the University Court,
a body which is empowered to review all the decisions
of the Senatus Academicus, under certain conditions,
-.43 effect improvements in the internal arrangements of
the university—to regulate the class fees, and, with the
consent of her Majesty in Council, to censure, to suspend,
ar deprive any professor or require him to retire on a re-
tiring allowance. His term of office is three years, and
the election always takes place on the 15th of November.
The Rector is elected by the matriculated students of the
university, divided, according to ancient usage, into
four nations. These nations are constituted as follows :
E. The Natio Glottiana consists of all matriculated students
born within the county of Lanark. 2. The Natio Trans-
forthiana consists of all matriculated students born within
any of the counties of Orkney and Shetland, Caithness,
Sutherland, Ross, Inverness, Cromarty, Nairn, Moray,
Banff, Aberdeen, Perth, Forfar, Kincardine, Clackmannan,
Fife, Kinross, Argyle, Stirling, and Dumbarton. 3. The
Natio Rothseiana consists of all matriculated students
born within any of the counties of Bute, Renfrew, and
Ayr. 4. The Natio Londoniana consists of all matricu-
lated students not included in any of the other nations.
The contest this yearhas been carried on in a more orderly
and gentlemanly manner than on most previous occasions.
The voting commenced at 10 o'clock ; at 11 the gates
were shut ; and at five minutes past 12 the books
were closed. A general meeting of the university autho-
rities and the students was held in the common hall at
one, when the result of the voting was announced to be
as follows :—For Mr. Lowe, Rothseiana and Loudoniana ;
for Lord Stanley, Transforthiana and Glottiana. The
nations, therefore, are equal ; but the Duke of Montrose
being a Conservative, his casting vote will doubtless be
given for Lord Stanley.

On Sunday morning, Mr. Johnson, president of the
Foundling Ilospitul, M 1 down dead during the service in the

STUDYING YANK EE CHARICTER. —I spent a
summer in the Eastern States for the purpose of studying
Yankee character, and picking up such peculiarities of
dialect and expression as I could, from constant commu-
nication with the "critters" themselves. In Boston,. I was
thus invited by a countryman to visit the town in v. hich he
lived : " Wal, stranger, can't you come down our .way and
give us a show?" " Where do you live ?" inquired " Oh,
about half-way between this ere and sunrise." " Oh,
yes," said I, adopting at once the style of the countryman,
" I know; where the trees grow undergroun3, and gals
weigh two hundred pounds. Where some on 'em are
so fat they grease the cart-wheels with their shadow, an
seine on 'em are so thin you're obliged to look at 'em
twice afore you can see 'em at all." " I guess
you've been there," says he; saying which thevDuntryman

THE PRIMACY.

The Bishop of London having accepted the Arch-
bishopric of Canterbury, in the course of a few
days the diocese of London will be declared vac:mt.
An " official " to act during the vacancy will be forth-
with nominated. This appointment is made under
an act of competition between Archbishop Boniface,
some time Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Dean
and Chapter of St. Paul's, under which the latter
body have the privilege of nominating three of the
canons of their cathedral church, from whom the
Arcbishop of Canterbury selects an official, who is
empowered to discharge the functions usually per-
formed by the Vicar-General of the Archbishop
during the vacancy of a diocesan see. In the present
instance Archdeacon Hale will in all probability be
appointed official.

A STRANGE STORY.

An almost incredible tale comes from India. We
gather it from the Indian Public Opinion, which con-
' tains a copy of a letter from a young lady residing in
Cornwall, containing an offer of marriage to an
Indian prince, and a letter from a Wesleyan minister
giving the young lady a testimonial. The names are
not given, but Public Opinion has not the slightest
doubt that they are genuine. The young lady com-
mences by stating that she has lost her nana and
mamma, that she Is living with a W esleyan minister,
is 21 years of age, has some property, and would like
to marry a king. She has seen the Maharajah well
spoken of in the newspapers, and would be glad to
hear if the potentate is willing, and if he will " name
the day." The Wesleyan minister attaches a testi-
monial, pronouncing her a very nice, amiable, kind,
and excellent young lady, who would make an
excellent wife. She is stated to be piously disposed,
and a member of the Wesleyan Church, though how
that would particularly fit a young lady for an Orien-
tal harem is not stated. It is a pity that the name
of the lady is not given, so that some eligible youth.
might prevent this treasure from becoming the slave:
of a barbarian.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
Bing William-street, Channg-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 13fd., and three quantities in one,

THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW.—The election of
the Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow was held
yesterday. The contest lay between-Lord Stanley and
Mr. Lowe, two "nations" voting for each. There was a
numerical majority of 15 for Lord Stanley, but as there
was not a majority of " nations" in his favour, the result
was a tie. The Chancellor, the Duke of Montrose, has
the casting vote, and he is expected to give it in favour of
Lord Stanley.

11-1:. GLADSTONE IN LANCASHIRE.

On Monday evening Mr. Gladstone addressed the
!lectors of Widnes. He commenced by reminding his
learers that he had been thirty-six years in the House of
commons, engaged in active public life, during which
drue he had had fourteen elections, eight of which had
)een contested. He had been returned thirteen times,
Ind in the contested elections he had been successful seven
imes. The only failure was his rejection for the
University of Oxford, and he could not be surprised
it that now he saw that his distinguished friend Sir
Roundel! Palmer—who, though under a mistaken opinion
ie had separated himself from his old colleagues, was a most
iberal-minded man—had been unable to overcome the spirit
vith which he had had to contend in the university. He
fad fondly hoped to see that university take its part in
;he full work of national education and national progress,
►nd he grieved to see it reduced to a state of degradation
inch as he did not think possible when they rejected him.
Ie thought they made a mistake, but he looked for con-
iolation at the hands of the electors of South-West Lan-
msbire. He remarked that he was charged with being an
:limy of Protestantism. In one sense he was not a friend
;o it, for there was a great deal of it circulating in
:he country that he could not be a friend to.
tic would at once relinquish the old-established Church of-
England if it required him to set aside the principles of
7ight between man and man. The right hon. gentleman
again referred to the national expenditure, especially that
)f the army. He also adduced Mr. Disraeli's assertion
that the conscription would almost become necessary as a
Lost untrue and insulting reflection on the Duke of
Cambridge, than whom a more conscientious person
lad never served the public. An expenditure of
s few millions more or less became a serious
luestion to the majority of the people. Public opinion
must work the cure. He claimed credit for the Liberal
?arty in the reduction of the national debt. They had
some regard to the interests of posterity. On foreign
policy he expressed his satisfaction with the conduct of
Lord Stanley, and challenged him to say whether he had
iot always received steady support from the Opposition.
Peace, retrenchment, and reform were the watchwords
:on the past of the Liberal party, and their continuation
3n a wider and more comprehensive basis was essential
to the continued strength and security of the empire.
Mr. Gladstone then proceeded to St. Helens to address
the electors. In referring again to the subject of the
Irish Church, he replied to Lord Stanley's and Sir
Stafford Northcote's indefiniteness on this question, and
he specially referred to Sir Stafford Northcote's contra-
dictory conduct on the subject of Reform. It did not
arise from want of earnestness or sincerity, but it was
want of what they called in Lancashire " backbone,"
want of earnestness of purpose, and of the quality which
enabled a man to stand up in the face of the world, of
Parliament, and of his own chief, for what he believed to
be right.

MISCELLANEOUS NEIVS.

CLASS REPRESENTATION.

We shall probably have our lawyers sufficiently
represented in the new Parliament. The legal pro
fession is the one par excellence from which our
legislators are taken. The army and navy will be quite
sufficiently represented for the country, though the
services grumble somewhat. The Law Journal
gives the number of barristers-at-law who are
candidates for seats in the new Parliament
for the counties, cities, and boroughs of England
and Wales as 117. Of this number 74 are
barristers in actual practice, 31 are Queen's Counsel,
and four are serjeants-at-law ; 59 come forward as
Liberals, and 58 as Conservatives. There are not
more than 10 attorneys seeking parliamentary
honours, but that branch of the profession is repre-
sented by a member of each of the three firms of
Baxter, Rose, Norton, and Co.; Freshfields and
Newman ; and Gregory, Rowcliffes, and Rawle ;
and those three candidates are all on the Con-
servative side.

The Daily News points out that the " great govern-
ing families ' are earnestly striving to secure a full
measure of representation in the householders'
Parliament. Amongst the candidates are three
sons and a brother of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland,
three sons and a brother of the Duke of Devon-
shire, two sons of Lord Derby, four representatives
of Lowther Castle, two members of the family of
Wyndham, three members of the great Whig house
of Wentworth, two sons and a nephew of the Marquis
of Westminster, two sons of the Duke of Buzcle,..ch,
and many others. In the late Parliament 186 sons,
brothers, and other relatives of peers were elected,
and to all appearance the representatives of the
peerage in the new House will not fall far short of
that number.

THE WOIMING-MEN CANDIDATES. _
Another pseudo working-men's candidate has re-
tired—Mr. Hartwell, for Stoke-upon-Trent. As at
Lambeth, he does not attribute his retirement to the
real cause—that he had not the shadow of a ghost of
a chance. He declares that he withdraws because
he has not the wherewith to pay the expenses.
This, at any rate, is better than the high patriotic
tone which marked his parting address to the Lam-
beth electors. But even now he declares that had
he gone to the poll he would have been returned by
a considerable majority. The working men of Chelsea
are still unsatisfied. A meeting called by his com-
mittee was held on Sunday, and the wickedness of
the Reform Club dilated upon at length. If we may
take the speeches delivered as any indication, some
of these men intend strengthening the hands of Dr.
Russell, the Conservative candidate.

INDIA.

The scarcity in Central India is becoming more and
more calamitous. It is spreading over a greater extent of
country, and threatens to assume the proportions and
intensity of a famine. There is plenty of grain in the
more fortunate provinces, but it cannot be made available,
on account of the utter absence of good roads. Migration
is, therefore, the only resource. The movement south-
wards still continues, the wretched inhabitants passing
through Nimai at the rate of four or five hundred a day.
Up to the 9th of October the British force on the north-
west frontier had sustained a loss of only five men killed
and thirty wounded.

THE SQUABBLE IN MIDDLESEX.

What the Ministerial papers speak of as the " dis-
graceful" squabble in Middlesex is likely to tell
heavily against the Liberals on the polling day. The
quarrel gets warmer as the time for the election
presses. Lord Enfield's defence is of necessity of
an exceedingly unsatisfactory nature. He
speaks of a private letter written by Mr. Labou-
chere to him, whose contents may not be
made public, and attributes the quarrel in
part to this letter. He explains that the secre-
tary to the Registration Society was appointed
without his being consulted ; and therefore he deter-
mined to break from it. He states that Mr.
Labouchere called him a damned sneak, and offered
to give him " satisfaction." He replied that it would
give him great satisfaction if Mr. Labouchere
would walk out of his committee-rooms. Mr.
Labouchere writes once more, asking for
some unity, so that the Conservative may not be
returned. He denies that he used a stronger expres-
sion than simply " sneak ;" declares that his lordship
did not make the retort about satisfaction ; and offers
to lay the letter (which he says did not commence
the quarrel) and all the other facts before a Liberal
committee. Only let them be united, whatever the
terms, so long as tiuhße.textrm bAeGm, ade public.

As the elections approach Mr. Mill is hard pushed.
The hon. secretary of the National Sunday Leagu.
writes to him to say that on Mr. Mill's behalf he
had declared that gentleman opposed to the
opening of theatres on the Sunday, and had chal-
lenged the incredulous to prove the contrary. At
the same time he begs a direct contradiction from
Mr. Mill himself. Mr. Mill writes ; " I have re-
peatedly said, at public meetings of the electors of
Westminster, that I should vote for the opening of
places of instructive recreation, such as museums and
libraries, on Sundays, but in the present state of the
public mind not theatres ; for although, in my
opinion, theatres might be places of instructive
recreation, I think it more wise and right not to
offend the honest feeling which at present exists in
the minds of so many worthy persons against open-
ing them on Sundays."

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to bo distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth chat are- loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

GERMANY.

The Prussian Chamber has commenced the discussion
on the Budget. The deputies have forthwith fallen foul of,
the unhappy Finance Minister and his deficit, complaining
that the result had not been foreseen. One speaker
energetically criticised the " prodigality " with which the
dispossessed princes had been indemnified. The Prussians
are unable to understand being behind in finance. Eves
conscience money must be sacrificed to the fear of
deficit.

Two of the deputies of North Schleswig have addressea' I
a letter to the President, setting forth their reasons for
abstaining from this Budget debate. "We are the repre.
sentatives of North Schleswig, not of Prussia. We shall
not, therefore, vote on any question touching Prussia!
only."

ATTACK UPON AN ENGLISH MISSION

HOUSE.

The Shanghai News Letter gives some account of
an outrage committed by Chinese at Yangchow. It
appears that several thousand natives joined together for
an attack upon the house of the Rev. Mr. Taylor. An
attempt was made to burn the building with its
inmates, among whom were four foreign women and three
small children. Fires were deliberately built in the
rooms below for that purpose, after the mob had
destroyed everything within their reach. This design
was defeated, as all the women and children
managed to throw themselves from the upper windows,
but were caught before reaching the ground by the
men of the mission. While thus engaged they were
all set'upon by the mob, stoned, and severely beaten. For-
tunately the night being dark, they escaped with their
lives, and hid themselves till morning among some old
ruins near by, where they remained till some soldiers
arrived and drove the mob away. The mis-
sionaries were then placed in boats and sent to Chinkiang.
The consul at Shanghai and H.M.S. Rinaldo immediately
repaired to Chinkiang, and a detachment of men
proceeded with the consul to the city of Yangchow, to
make demands of reparation. The Friend of China
says that the result was most unsatisfactory owing, mainly
to the premature departure from Nanking of H.M.S.
Rinaldo, in consequence of the illness of her commander,
Captain Bush. The result was, that when the consul was
left alone, the Che-foo, who had consented to accede to
those demands with which he had pow to comply, now
changed his tone, refused compensation, and declined to
to punish the literati or officials concerned in the outrage,
and the British Consul had to beat an undignified
retreat to Shanghai and refer the matter to Peking.
The cause which excited the mob to violence in the first
place is said to have been appeals to their superstition,
and notes circulated amongst them by the literati and
retired officials, to the effect " that the foreigners were in
the habit of stealing and eating young children, using their
eyes for medicine."

I- AM BERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
J EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed eases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughiag. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.

AUSTRIA.

The press prosecutions in Bohemia have been marked
by extraordinary, not to say absurd severity, of late.
Every day during the latter part of October some paper
has been confiscated, some editor imprisoned or printer
fined. In twelve days ten journals have been suppressed,
and ten editors sent to gaol. The sum total of all the
sentences against journalists and printers amounts to
eleven years of imprisonment and £3,700 in fines.
