ANDERSONIAN UNIVERSITY, GLASGOW.

Monday the Quartetly General Meeting of the
Trustees of the Andersonian University was held in the
great Hall of the University Building‘, George-street,
Jams A. Arianism', Esq. President of the University,
in the Chair. After the reading of the minutes of the
Directors for the last quarter, a Report was laid before
the Meeting of the progress of the buildings, both as
regarded the interior and eitterior alterations and im-
provements, which referres with satisfaction to the in-
crea•ing interest telt by Cite friends of the University in
the extension of the museum and library, not only by
large and valuable donations. but by interesting others
in the same good cause, and concluded by giving a list
of recent donations to the University.
The Cumsmeti then proposes the thanks of the
University to Mr. Smith, of Jordanhill, fur the very
great attention he has paid to the interests of the Uni-
versity, and the deep interest hr takes in its prosperity,
which was carried with much applause.
Mr. SMITH made a neat reply, and said that though
what hr gave were sometimes atticles of value to him
in his studies or pursuits. he derived some gratification
from giving them to an institution so eminently calcu-
Wei to be beneficial as this was ; and besides, he was
persuaded, that while in the University they would be
useful to others, they would still be nut less useful to
him.el .

The Trustees then proceeded to the election of Pro-
fessor. for the Chairs of the principles of Painting and
Sculptate ; of Mineralogy and Natural History; and
of French: and Italian; and on the. secomnsendation of
the Directors, made choice of William Ross, Esq. jun.
of Howard-street, Strand, London, as professor of the
principle. of Sculpture and Painting; Dr. Scouller, as
professor of Mineralogy and Natural History; and B.
Jourdan, Esq. as professor of the French and Italian
languages.
The Treasurer then announced the state of the funds
from which it appeared that the University, atter bor-
rowing the sum necessary to complete the improve-
ments. will have a large annual surplus for extending
the University, or reducing its comparatively small debt.
After a vote of thanks had been given by acclama-
tion to the managers of the last year for their *unions,
the Meeting proceeded to ballot for Managers for the
ensuing year, and the scrutiny ended by declaring the
Managers of last year re-elected.
The Trustees then left the great hall, and proceeded
to inspect the fine new rooms, in which the apparatus
is displayed at one view—in compartments, inclosed
with glass doors, and arranged according to the history
And distribution of physical and chemical discovery.
With these, and the handsome library, which is grace-
fully supported by fluted columns, and ornamented with
fine paintings. and busts of literary and scientific as.
ratters, the Trustees were highly gratified. Arrange-
ments are in train for affording regular access for view•
ing the institution, under the charge of a librarian, to
the numerous parties of intelligent and opulent strangers
who now make the visit to tilasgow one of the most
interesting objects of a Scottish tour.

The Ambassador from the Netherlands and the Sat-
dinlan Minister transacted Wiesen with the Earl of atassoun yes-
terday at the Vertigo Me.
