MISCELLANY.

QUEEN'S COLLEGE, GLASGOW.-The success of this spirited enterprise for the education of ladies, and the sensation which the ceremonial of i's opening produced, afford the best proof of the void in female education which it has suddenly filled. In the first fortnight of its existence it had enrolled about 100

amidst insurrection, and his death was preceded and followed by still existing anarchy.

"Disasters unparalleled in their extent, unless by the errors in which they originated, and by the treachery by which they were completed, have in one short campaign been avenged upon every scene of past misfortune; and repeated victories in the field, and the capture of the cities and citadels of Ghuznee and Cabul, have again attached the opinion of invincibility to the British arms.

"The British army in possession of Afghanistan will now he withdrawn to the Sutlej.

"The Governor-General will leave it to the Afghans themselves to create a government amidst the anarchy which is the consequence of their crimes.

"To force a Sovereign upon a reluctant people, would be as inconsistent with the policy as it is with the principles of the British Government; tending to place the arms and resources of that people at the disposal of the first invader, and to impose the burden of supporting a Sovereign without the prospect of benefit from his alliance.

"Content with the limits nature appears to have assigned to its empire, the Government of India will devote all its efforts to the establishment and maintenance of general peace, to the protection of the Sovereigns and Chiefs its allies, and to the prosperity and happiness of its own faithful subjects.

erous female education, and with the number and talent of the teachers. Theology, literature, science, and the fine arts, are all answered for by professors who, in other seminaries in Glasgow, have established the highest characters. One feature of this institution is especially graceful-its harmony. Its patronesses are of all shades of religious and political connection. Clergymen, both Churchmen and Dissenters, undertake its theological department; which, with much propriety, is limited to Natural Theology, the evidences of Christianity, and sacred history and geography, trusting the special religious instruction, in which sects disagree, to home and pastoral care; while its professors of the other branches meet under its roof, from all the rival seminaries of note in Glasgow. Mr. Simpson, at the splendid meeting in the Assembly Rooms, on opening the "College," being called upon by the Lord Provost to address the meeting, as one of the strangers who had come from a distance, said that, when in this place four years ago, he had summed up the items of a sound education-moral, which rightly trains the feelings-intellectual, which opens up even the stores of science, "The Governor-General will willingly recognize and claimed that sum of education for all-he was any Government approved by the Afghans themasked, "What! even for females?"

You are educating a teacher whose function and responsibility reduce the teachings of science and art to insignificance. What may not, what ought not, woman to do for that education which forms character ?-nay, rather, he would ask, can that education be realised without her agency? Never-to-be-forgotten was the brief-in her own language, the monosyllabic-answer of Madame Campan to Napoleon, who asked her what she considered most necessary for the education of the French people? she replied, Mothers! Mr. Simpson concluded by congratulating Glasgow on the opening of the Queen's College; and added that, with its High | School, Collegiate School, Western Academy, Trades' School, and Queen's College, no place in the empire possessed a richer provision of means for an enlightened, liberal, and generous education for the middle classes. A national plan alone will extend the blessing to the empire population.—Examiner. MURDER OF LORD NORBURY.-By a letter dated Poonah, from a surgeon in one of the East India artillery regiments, we learn that the murderer of the late Lord Norbury has been discovered. It seems that the murderer was in one of the regiments stationed at Bombay. He was attacked with a violent illness, and thinking himself on the point of death, made a confession before his officers that he was the man who shot Lord Norbury. By means of great medical skill the man had got better, and the Government had immediately taken the matter in hand, but had conducted every thing connected with the affair with such secrecy that nothing further had transpired.-Ibid.

France has definitely withdrawn from the promised signature of the new Slave-trade Treaty. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post, writing on Friday, gives a full explanation of the circumstances

"A courier arrived here the night before last from London, and brought M. Guizot the news that the

protocol for the ratification of the treaty of December 20th had been concluded at the Foreign Office, on Monday the 7th instant, by the representatives of the Powers signing the treaty, at the formal demand of the French Ambassador. I am enabled to furnish you, on good authority, with the following circumstances which preceded this diplomatic formality.

such as MM. Fulchiron, Jacqueminot, Jacques Lefevre, and others, have already declared to M. Guizot that they will vote for the abolition of the right of search in the forthcoming session; so that M. Guizot has no alternative."-Colonial Gazette.

The Queen and Prince Albert have walked daily on the beach, sometimes twice in the day; and the infants have been drawn to the beach in a little chaise, and allowed to play for a time upon the shingle. A wind so violent as to make it difficult for her to stand did not deter the Queen from her walk on Friday afternoon On Saturday she enter ed into conversation with a man about a curious dog, which he had lately saved from the wreck of

"About a fortnight past, M. Guizot commissioned M. de St. Aulaire to forward a note to Lord Aberdeen, announcing to the Cabinet of St. James's that the political position of the French Cabinet was such that M, Guizot would not be able to ratify the treaty of December 20th. The wish expressed by the Chamber of Deputies in the vote of February 24th was so precise and formal and clearly express-a Russian timber-ship.—Ibid. ed, that the French Cabinet would not dare to appear again before the Chamber without having conformed to the wish expressed in the Lefevre amendment. When M. de St. Aulaire gave this note to Lord Aberdeen, his Lordship replied to the French Ambassador, that the British Government would be compelled to return to M. Guizot a note couched in the same terms as that which he had forwarded, and that, M. Guizot had so far engaged himself to ratify the treaty that it would be impossible for him to withdraw: for (said Lord Aberdeen) if M. Guizot had merely signed such a treaty with England, the affair would be less complicated, but M. Guizot had joined England in requesting the Great Northern Powers to conclude the treaty in question with France and England; consequently, if the French Cabinet refused to ratify the treaty which it had proposed itself to the Great Northern Powers, they would have the right to turn round and reproach England for having joined France in a proposition which France herself now refuses to accept, and thus England would be compromised with the Great Northern Powers in consequence of the refusal of France to ratify the treaty.

SYRIA AND TURKEY.-The Carlsrhue Gazette of the 15th instant hints at the remodelling of the semi-independent provinces of European Turkey: it says, that a powerful party of Greeks and Catholice has been formed at Wallachia, with a view of bringing about a junction of the three principalities of the Danube, under the guarantee of the great powers of Europe, and with a prince of one of the royal houses at their head. The majority of the Catholics are stated to be desirous of having for sovereign an Austrian archduke, but the Greeks and minority of the Catholics wish to have the Duke de Leuchtenberg.

Advices from Beyrout to the 19th October confirm previous reports of a general rising in Syria against the Turkish rule. One letter says:

a place a little above the town, a pitched battle was fought; and the Druses and Maronites beat off their enemies, with a loss, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, of five hundred men, including many Arna

"It is not the Christians alone who have taken up arms on this occasion, but the Druses also. These two sects, formerly at enmity together, have now united in one common cause, and formed a close alliance. The Albanians have succeeded in arousing all the worst passions of the Syrian people; and on the 12th instant they were attacked, as was the "Lord Aberdeen then explained to M. de St. Au-Turkish brigade quartered at Tripoli. At Ehden, laire, that the reply of the British Government to M.

The Turks, accompanied by the Albanians, zot thought to strengthen his Parliamentary position by refusing to ratify the treaty, the English Cabinet also must take measures for its own justification to the English Parliament. His Lordship then urged M. de St. Aulaire to withdraw the note, which he would consider as not having been presented to him; and to inform M. Guizot, that the better way to avoid complicating the question would be, to deinand, in a simple note, without producing any rea-ed sons, that the protocol should be closed, which had remained open for ratification on the part of France. By simply demanding the closing of the protocol without assigning any motives, M. Guizot would not have to fear any embarrassing reply from the English Cabinet, and the question would thus be cut short without any difficulty

"On the 17th instant, a party of regular Turkish troops, on their way to this place from Damascus, about fifty in number, were attacked at a kahn callHussein by the Druses, and beaten; the Turks throwing down their arms, and taking to a precipitate flight.

"The whole population along the coast is actuated but by one resolution, that of throwing off the yoke of their new rulers; and every preparation possible for a coming struggle is showing itself. The Turks are also preparing; but to the Syrians their efforts appear futile.

The Malta Times of the 5th instant says, that a precautionary naval force was to be stationed on the coast of Syria; the Indus having already taken its departure from Malta.

"M. Guizot followed the advice of Lord AberIdeen in withdrawing his first note; and then, a "The English and American families living in week since, forwarded to the English Cabinet an- the mountain, reached Beyrout with the greatest other note, in which he demanded, without assign-difficulty, and that after having obtained the favor ing any explanation, the closing of the protocol, of the Druse chiefs." which actually took place on Monday last. Thus the non-ratification of the treaty of December 20th is now forever consummated. It now remains to be known whether the treaties of 1831 and 1833 will be maintained or not. I am able to inform you, that it is the intention of M. Guizot to abrogate them, because the only chance of safety for the French Cabinet was the abolition forever of the right of search. The most devoted adherents of the Cabinet,

Besides the appeal to the people on Christian grounds, the British Merchant points out, that the capital employed in raising the plant might be better invested in producing cotton, indigo, and other commodities useful to the manufacturers of this country; and that the five or six millions sterling paid for opium by the Chinese would be expended in the purchase of British cotton, woollen, and other manufactures; giving employment to our thousands of starving artisans and to vast numbers of our ships now lying idle, and removing a source of disastrous interruption to our future intercourse with China. A NOBLE MONUMENT TO GRACE DARLING.-A letter appears in the Berwick Warder suggesting "that the best and most appropriate monument would be the restoration of the Chapel of St. Cuth bert, where that eminent Christian worshipped, the remains of which stand on the Great Fern Island, with a tablet within the building to the memory cf the deceased. There being several families upon the islands, the chapel is wanted for the worship of God, and many persons would be disposed to con tribute largely to such a work, and would feel a pleasure in placing the monument in a holy place in the midst of the islands in which she and her family have lived so long." We need hardly say that we entirely concur in the view taken by the

writer.-Post.

MUSICAL STONES.-It may not be generally known that on the mountains of Saddleback, near Keswick, there are found long thin stones possessing most musical and striking tones. A very ingenious and meritorious person in Keswick, one of the Lake guides, William Bowe, has with great labor, selec.ed such a number of these stones that he has been able to combine such a variety of tones as nearly to equal a pianoforte, and to enable him to play with great sweetness and effect a number of tunes. The stones are laid on straw on a frame, and struck with small pellets by himself and assistants, and the effect is most pleasing and wonderful. Many families from Edinburgh last summer heard the Rock Harmonicon (from one of whom this notice comes), and Mr. Bowe is to be very shortly in Edinburgh to exhibit the effect of these stones.—Ibid.

At the commencement of this work, which is appearing in Parts, we gave an account of its character and objects. The Unreported Parliament—so named because reporters were jealously excluded from witnessing the proceedings-embraces an important period in English History,-from the years 1768 to 1774; when Burke was in his glory, and Fox made his first appearance in the House. This was also the era of the Letters of Junius; of the Wilkes affair; and the breaking out, and gathering of the elements of revolt in the American colonies. Save for the persevering industry of Sir Henry Cavendish, many of the best speeches of Burke, and others scarcely less worthy of preservation, would have been for ever lost to the English statesman and historian.

Latin Grammar for the use of the Greeks. By J. A Smit. Leipzic.

The study of Latin was recommended to the Greeks of our day by the Honorable A Coray, and a Professorship of the Latin language and literature was very properly instituted in the university of Athens, which is filled by a German, Mr. H. A. Ulrichs of Bremen. This gentleman had already before been engaged in promoting the radical study of the Latin language in Greece, and among the Greeks, having published a Latin Grammar Athens 1835) and a Latin Reader, (Athens 1836), and being now engaged in Publishing a Asfertv artwo-Envir for Greeks, in three parts (Leipzic, Fr. Fleischer). In 1834, Pallatidis a Greek published a " Γραμ parikh darivikǹ" at Vienna. The Greeks themselves

confess the advantage of studying the Latin, espe cially as it facilitates the learning of the modern Romaic. This Grammar, then, seems to be called for; the different subjects are represented in a simple and apprehensible manner,; the rules are illusirated by examples from the best Roman classics, and somewhat is added on the Roman calendar, as

also on prosody and metre. The Greek in which the grammar is written is a mixture of ancient Greek, much of which has lately been adopted into the language of the people, and modern, and may therefore contribute towards improving and enriching still more the new language of the present Greeks out of the linguicl treasures of the ancient Greek.Gersdorfs Repertorium.

The electoral history of France contains, in some sort, the history of its constitutional education. The elective principle once admitted, aspires to develop and extend itself more and more, without any respect to the state of illumination in the country.

The book of M. Audiganne traces, in a very ineresting manner, the different phases of that elecoral legislation under the empire, the spirit of which has insensibly grown into the essential conditions of the representative government. He recounts the energy given to the elective principle by the revolution of 1789; its almost total annihilation under the empire ; then the conflict between its friends and its foes under the restoration; finally its triumph in 1830, and the new impulse given to it by the law which regulates its action. He signalizes the constant progress it has made amid obstacles accumulated about its path, and proposes some modifications which seem to him still desirable, in order to harmonize it entirely with the spirit of our age. Those modifications are the admission of some intellectual qualifications, and the centralization of the election. Farther than this he thinks the principle should not

be extended.
