A change equally important and unexpected has ins
tekestplace in the University of St Andrew's. Dr. Hunter
time venerable Professor of Humanity, after hosier for half •
a century flAiril his chair with an ability which ueeds nu
praise,and which indeed will be best appreciated by po-teri-
ty, has et length so far retired from his arduous duties, that
au assistant and successor to his chair has been nominated,
in the person of the Rev. Thomas Wiles* of Cults. Dr.
Hunter, though upwards of eighty, is still hale and active,
his mind retains its wonted vigour. and he may yet survive
several years; but aCcording to the course of nature, he
must erelong "go the way of all tlie earth." When such
an event occurs—and we pray that it may be as distant as
pos-ible—it will be some consolation to know that his
successor is not altogether untried. A successor in every
respect to Dr. Hunter—one who is likely to attain such
eminence as a philologist—cannot well be expected. Mr.
Gillespie i known to be a man of geisius; perhaps,however,
be is too much of a general scholar ti excel as a mere
linguist. But this is premature. I t wonlil have been well
