THE WEATHER.--The barometer has fallen to
28 9, lower than it has been for a long period. The
weather is hazy, with occasional sunshine, and bois-
terous ; but we fear, from the very low state of the
mercury, that the accounts from the country will be
less favourable.

HIGH Scimon OF EDINBURGH.--The Town Coun-
cil of Edinburgh have just made the dangerous ex-
periment of appointing a foreigner to the office of
rector in this celebrated school. Dr. Leonhard
Schmitz, a native of Germany, is the fortunate can-
didate, and Lord Provost Black urged, as one recom-
mendation in his favour, the large number of books
he had published, the titles of which filled "a list of
a page and a half." This shows indefatigable
labour, and most German scholars may boast of
as much, but that is no criterion of a man's
ability to teach a school requiring so many high
qualifications, and will not even atone for an imper-
fect knowledve of the English language. Several of
the town-councillors manifested the utmost opposi-
tion to such a scheme, but they were, from some
cause or other, outnumbered, and Dr. Schmitz was
elected by a majority of 20 to 11. Will the appoint-
ment tend to raise the character of the school, which
is not in the best favour with many of the in-
habitants ?
