INSTALLATION OF THE• 1401113 RECTOR OF,I
GLASGOO UNIVERSITY.
(PRAM TUC al.awaotr *caaattlfamt OP eaTtraoaT Lean)
Conaiderahle anxiety was nisnifeated yesterday Or
witness the installation of Sir James Mackintosh, as
Lord Rector of this Lluiversit v. The door!' of the Col-
lege Hall were opened at half past two o'clock fur the
atintission of students, and at three to the public. The
banned galleries were crowded to excess, and numbers
went away oho could not possibly gain admittance
Soon after three o'clock, the Lord Rector entered, cc-
comiiiiiied hit a nitmber of the Professors and distin-
gelotik friends, amongst whom we observed Lord,
Belbscren, tillfies,.and Alloway ; the late Lord Rector,
Mr. Campbell, of Blythswood ; and Messrs. Cockburn,
Monerielf, Murray, and Thompson.—Sir James Mack-
intosh was received with the most enthusiastic cheer.
log, and having taken the accustomed oaths, he ad.
dreamed the members of the University in ro eloquent
speech, which derived selditional interest from time con-
sideration that it proceeded from one who had conferred
honor on his native land, by the humanity which dis-
tingnished his exertions for the reformation of oar en.
usinal.jarispeudence, by the soundness of .his philosnphi-
estl views, and by the manly and independent manner in.
which he bail uniformly suede his brilliant talents
available in the public canoe.
Sit Jamie bfaentsivosu began by expressing his sin-
cere and beeety'llossits fur the high, unmerited, and un-
expected hooear to which be had been ts4aed by the
suffrages of this University., So unexpected, was the
bonour.that the election was completed before he knew
hr eel a candidite. IA addressing his'heleers, he was
placed- in a situation of great difficulty anti`delicaey.
The tone of those calm and mild studies to which this
University was consecrated. would not permit politics to
intrude herself upon them, and his voice lied for along
time been raised in political contention. Universities
are of value only for the Production of those ragwort
which all good men of all ages, and sees, and parties,
equally esteem and equally cherish. Nothing is to be
studied and contemplated here, but that which is to rem.
der men good subjects of a just Hoveritment.—(Great
applause.)—He fel; himself honoured by the consider.

posed (Sir Walter Scott). lie would wills great plea-
sure have taken this opportunity of saying' of him in
public, what he bad uniformly said of him in private, it
so noel' praise and atlin;ration had not already been
paid him by his friend and proeeessor. (Mr. Jeffrey), the
effect of n hose encomutit lie would not itiar'by attempt-
it:it to repeat it in a less trill praise. Speaking of his
own feelings, be. would leave emisiilereil it no less of ho-
