MRS.TROLLOFE'S NEW NOVEL, " YOUNG LOVE."---..
If there is a subject that recommends itself more strongly
and more immediately to the feelings than another, it is
that which Mrs. Trollope has made choice of in her
forthcoming novel, bearing the attractive title of "Young
Love." We learn that in this work she has produced.:
story in which she has contrasted, in a manner onlille
be expected from her intimate knowledge of her sego
self-denying and purely ideal affection of a yotogdis'up
perfectly unsophisticated girl, who has been bre
in the seclusion of a country house, with the speculating
and heartless passion of a London beauty, who has re-
ceived all the honours, and endured all the dissipations
attendant upon a long succession of seasons in tovin•
The work is stated to be a truer picture of fashionable
life at the present day than has issued from the press for
a long time, and to contain some curious revelations re-
specting ladies of high rank, which have hitherto been
carefully kept behind the curtain.
ST. ANDREW'S—CHAIR OF HUMANITY.—The sud-
den death of the late Dr. Gillespie having created $
vacancy in the Chair of Humanity in the University
of St. Andrew's, the important duty devolved on the
patron, the Duke of Portland, of appointing a sue:.
cessor. A number of distinguished teachers, men 0'
acknowledged talents and acquirements, and of profes-
sional experience, offered themselves as candidates. Fror
among these, the patron has selected Wm. Pyper, A-31•9
who, for many years, has been one of the ablest and most
successful teachers in the High School of Edinburgh. Me'
scholar and an instructor of youth, Mr. Pyper's merits
are appreciated and acknowledged as universally as his
private character is esteemed. With the various sr"
toms of education, whether in this country or on the
continent ; and with the best methods of teaching, wie
know him to be intimately acquainted. In a critical and
ractical knowled -;e of the Greek and Roman classics he
has few equals ; but his knowledge is not confined to law_
guages, it is general, diversified by a wide range et
study, combined with a sound judgment, and matured
the successful labours of a distinguished academical
career. Whoever takes the trouble to peruse the testi-
monials given in his favour, by professors. clergyn2cul
schoolmasters, and indeed by the whole body of learns
"
men in every department of literature in Scotland, ttial
satisfy himself that his high claims have not been °I;
aggerated, and that the noble patron of the chair could
not have made a better selection. His appointment
fleets credit not less upon himself than upon the lest!"
tution where he has so long laboured, and where his
merits as a teacher were fully developed.—Edinburgh
Advertiser.

It may be in the recollection of our readers that, on
the same day, in March last year, on which the Jobl!,
and Elizabeth, of this port, was lost at the entrance 01
the harbour, when all on board perished, the crew of the
Norwegian schooner was rescued from the same fate by
the life-boat, manned by twelve seamen belonging to this
place, who received 6Z for their exertions from the Life'
boat Association. It gives us now great pleasure to
learn that the Swedish and Norwegian Government
have instructed Robert Millar, Esq., Consul for this dis-
trict, to repay the 6/. to the association, and have also
most generously awarded one hundred dollars (211. 125.1
to be divided equally among the crew of the life-boat•
It is gratifying to have to record such liberality on the
part of the Government of King Oscar, whose own Oh"
pets expose their lives so fearlessly for the preservation
of others along the dangerous coast of Norway.—Ahni.
