Cniversit of tilasgow.—After the installatlo,
oich occupied but a very abort time, Mr. Jeffrey
rose and addressed the audieuce. Hr said, the pre-
sent moment wash, hiutof no slight or usual agitation,
and it might appear to some imprudent, that heshoniti
vrutare to address them front a place where Burke •
was reported to have faultered, and Adam Smith to
have remained silent ; and perhaps he should best
consult his interest by tollowing the latter example,
as he was impressed with the conviction, that he
conid not do justice to his feelings by any speech. He
thought, however, it' be acted thus, lie might, be ac-
cuses! of ingratitude. The distinction whirl, bad
just been conferred on hint, had every thing in it to
render it precious; to fill the office which he did in
any seminary might well be a matter of pride; but
the honor was to hint unspeakably enhanced when
conferred by the University of Glasgow. It was here
that he received the most valuable part of his educa-
tion, and imbibed a taste and liking. f r letters,
whirls Le had ever since delighted to pursue ; and
ohich purmit had nut been altogether unsuccessful,
since to it he owed the proud distinction of this day.
The duties of use uffi e were but few; bur few as they
were, no emoluments attached to it.—Fur •many
years it had been his delight to repair to that place,
with almost annual regularity, at the period when
they received the reward of their laLcurs, and there-
fore did not appear bef sre them as a total stranger :1
but it was with heartfelt pleasure that he found him-
self again received into the bosom of the University, i
and become one of awns. It had been usual for ,hose
in his circumstances to call to their remembrance the
gre.,t and the goed who had tilled stations in that se-
minary ; usir could he deny himself the gratification
of saying a few words of those is hum he remembered.
About :fit years ago, he well recollected %%hen heid,

Queen. In every stage of that most disgrafeul autism-
constitutional proceetlihg, wt have recognised your
Lordship's invariable and unrensitted solicitdde Tot its
abandonment, while we hereon the other hand abundant
proofs that the conduct of her Majesty's prosecutors, MPS
actuated by a fixed shsternfinat on tlf pursuing, at al
bawds their hostile designs against the safety and hap-
piness of the first subjeet of these realms. Under thy,
esfrumstattres we fry the respect we owe to her Majesty'
defenders. Animated by the same sentimeuts which
your Lordship has been pleased to declare to the world,
anti sensible that it is only front such firmness and tek,„
lotion that our glorious Constitution can exist; we Or.
tertain a hope that we shall not hr thought prriiiimr-
Non* in publicly tirclaring our admiration of that Fenn..

fatr.l to the Royal Family itself, as well as the public
tlistrihntion of justice, I cannot wonder at the joy you

bONDON:
FRIDAY /YINING, JANUARY 5, 1821.
STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK.
The Funds hare been a shade worse this morning.
Consols for the Account have been sellers at 711, but
;are now buyers. There is very little business.

The intelligence from Dublin we yesterday pre-
sented to the public, has filled, as we expected, every
well-disposed mind with surprise and concern. So
unexpected and unwarrantable was the outrage per-
p trated, and of such vital importance is the right at
hich the blow was struck, that consoled as the friends
of humanity are that the violence was not productive of
bhiodsbed and popular convulsion, the friends of free-
dom arc confounded at the weight and boldness of
the stroke. From such accounts of the proceedings
as have hitherto come to hand, we are unable to per-
ceive upon what pretext the daring and despotic act
can possibly be justified ; and from nothing that we
have seen, does it app. ar that the slightest apology
for it been attempted. Even the friends of
despotism themselves, on this side of the water,
seem struck with silent wonder at the deed.
The IMi►►isterial papers of the day look blank
upon the occasion. One journal, which wo►►ld have
been the foremost to excuse or even to approve, if
possible, the military intrusion, does not venture to
advance a single word ; and another, which has been
distinguished above all others of late for its servility,
i• content with repeating the i►npertinenee of a letter-
writer, who rejoices at the catastrophe. But though
little now is said upon the subject, we trust the time
will not be long, when the procedure will be fully
brought before the public view, and the delinquents
made to answer for the unwarrantable outrage. It is
an act that Englishmen cannot feel the less, because
it has been committed in a distant quarter. It is at
a distance from the seat of Oovernment, that such
d:spotic acts are first committed, and from
thence that they are made familiar to the

country and introduced as a general rule. It is in
Ireland tl ts` the experiment of forcibly dispersing a
legally conve.ied and conducted meeting of a cousry
was doomed to be tried, b•cause Ireland, unfortunate
Ireland, had long been most accustomed to be the
victim of oppression.

It is stated, that previous to Prince Leopold giving
np his four years and a Intl luf the lease of Marlborough-
It ;use to the Queen, her Majesty had secured the
tss elve Yeats and a half front the Duke's trustees, be-
ing tile remain:ler if the lease when the property falls

Pro ot Brighton ove learn that his Majesty has re-
masted front Marlbotough•row, to the splendid accom-
tnotiatiso sof the Palace. A new year's entertain-
ment i:i that town, consisting of a dinner, supper, lks..
is talked uf, emanating f, um Royal bounty, fur the
fishermen of the place. The Old Ship, and the Sew
Ship, are mentioned as likely to exhibit the principal
scenes of conviviality. These fishermen, it will be
reinionheted, famished good grounds fur the Loup
Kitimat s tloiot have been spread respecting the loyal re-
ception of the King at Brighton. They furnished
and dis•harged the cannon opposite the Palace soon
after ha Majesty's arrival. The plaudits bestowed on
the King are more substantially acknowledged than
those that attend the Queen ; but the Queen's ad-
termite are foolishly cantent with acting front spoil!
taheaus sentiment, anti obstinately maintaining their
po•rmanal independence.
Mr. taxxiste sets off for Paris on Sunday next.
II • has written a letter to Mr. Holton of Liverpool,
vsplai nine. the cir..utostances of his resignation, which
ha• Leen handed about among his constrtuents. He
states that he tendered his resignation in June last,
lout that his Majesty graciously expressed his pleasure
that he would retain his office; and he therefore went
abroad, as he disagr..ed with his Colleagues on the
nie.snre of the Bill of Pains and Penalties. On his
return findiog that the proceedings were not finally
and still disagreeing with his colleagues on
that measure, and that to:ensure alone, they had sug-
gested t!.e rropriety of his resignation. He had, in
rotm•opoenre of their advice, again tendered his resig-
nati.o:, to the King, who had been graciously pleased
to ai* opt of it, but at the same time to compliment
Lie• on the consistency of his conduct. He adds, that
it is not entirely settled wlo•ther he will fur the pre-
sent remain in this country or go abroad. In the
erent of the latter, he has taken care that the affairs
!Ai% constituents shall not be neglected in his ab-
m.olo•e.—(,tiorming Chronicle.)

still it. Dublin, but we never see his name in the list
perwos who dine with Lord Talbot. It is said, in-
deed, t;.at the parties agree but indifferently, and that
such jarring•s as occasionally °retie, arise from jea-
lousies shoat the exercise of power on the part of the
turf Secretary. How hard it must have been with
the \oble Hari during the government of Mr. Peel,
who would refer him to Lord Sidmouth for an ex-
planation of the teruos upon which he condescended to
SiCept the Chief Secretaryship, if his Lordship at-
tinsPeeti to appoint him to so insignificant an office as
