8 SRAEL AT GLASGOW, a His Installation as Lord Rector of the University and Rectorial Address | The Early Jesuits as “Masters | of Education.’ WHAT DID THE CRUSADES ACCOMPLISH 2 “Massacred Some Jews and Slangh- tered Some Saracens.” THE BUTS OF THE EDUCATED CLASSES. | ‘The installation of Mr. Disraeli to theefice of | Tord Rector of Glasgow University, to which he | ‘Was elected two years ago by a majority In all the | Your districts into which the students are classed, | @ook place on the 1vth of November, It was an event exciting too much public interest in the | western metropolis of Scotland to admit of its per- | formance in the presence of an audience neces: | Sarily so select as might be accommodated within | the limits of any of the ege buildings, To | satisfy the demands of an eager public, who de- | sired to hear the distinguished Lord Rector of the | University deliver his inat J address, the Kib- | Die Paluce—an extensive conservatory and concert | room, bullt in one of the western snburbs—was | transformed for the occasion into an academic grove. ‘Che flowers aud plants which ordinarily | line the avenues leading through the immense cir- cular building were removed to the sides, and, | plentifully interspersed with statwes and works of | classic art, formed an agreeable decoration, ‘At twelve o'clock precisely Mr. Disrael! was cons | Aucted, amid ringing cheers, to the rectorial ebair | by Principat Caird, The Lord Kector, wore te | lack gown fringed with gold laco which marks his office. After the audience, standing, had sung “Cod Save the Queen” Princtpat Caird opened the proceedings with a Latin prayer. Professor Rov. | ertgon, as Dean of the Faculty at Law, then pre. | sented, in brief Latin speeches, a number of gen- | temen, headed by “benjamin Disraeli, viru (us. | trem, clarum et honorabite nomen,” for investiture | in the degree of LL.D. The only inc! marked this ceremony were e ery of “Three groans | for Ayrton!” which followed the presentation of Dr. Hooker, and gn occasional mocking echo, | “Num, num,” following Professor Robertson’s } short introductory speeches, which invariably ended with the word “Num.” The audience was | by this time in the highest good humor, and Mr. | Disraeli, having cust aside his gown and the doe tor's hood with which he hed been invested, was loudly cheered when he rose to speak. The etect of the impassiveness with which he had received the hearty greetings o: assemblage was imrm diately reeyed by the tone of deep feeling with | which he delivered the opening passages of his ad- adress, The speech, however, though occasionally felieved by a tonch of humor, was in its substance | Iugubrious, and. dglivered in the orator’s most | funereal tones of solemu warning and dismal fore- | boding, which completely extinguisned the per- | fervid enthusiasm that nad eharacterized the | earlier stages cf (he meeting, Lhe Rectorial Address.

You know what hap- pens under these circumstances, Everybody soon gets Wrapt in abstraction, one looks st the ceiling and the other ab tie fre, and one, perhaps, yawns; but that is the general result of the imtroduction of such a topic—(langitter) —and [ aiways thought: thata gd man Who dilates ou his own writ- ings might be put in the same category as & motier who dilares on the qualities of her cbil- dren, (Laugater,) ‘Therefore, allow me to ex- press on that bead my surprise and delight that a rhapsody io “Vivien Greg,’ written 50 years ago, has received the hgh honor in one of tie greatest cities in the Kingdom to be introduced again to your indulwence, I will, therelore, on this subject ouly say that, whatever may be the merits or de- lmertis of my works, they are the resnit of my own feeling and my own observation.

Lattribute the great monetary disturbance which has taken piace, aud which in a certain degree is acting very injuriously upon trade—l avtripute it to the creat changes which various countries of Europe, various soverninents of Kurope, make in reference to their standard of value. You oi course are periectiy acquainted with ali those circumstances, and know to What they generally lead, but T attribute and trace the present state of affairs very much io @ Comission that was sitting in Paris at the time of the Great Ixhibition, It Was & commission the object ot which Was to es- very nice aud beautilul idea of cosinopolitan philan- thropy, and probably ifit conld ve luitilied would do no harm, though it might be dificult to attain. this CommussiON ut Paris Lever came to aby dis- tinct recommendation apon that subject, but they did upou another subject, and that was that no time should be lost by any of the states ot Europe to establish @ unilorm gold standard of value. This, 1 kuow mysell aroze from a opinion ex- tremely prevalent amongst the governments and the statesmen of Eurepe, and | must say amongst very distinguished economists abroad, and mer- chants, who ought to have been wiser, in attributing the commercial prosperity and pre- ponderance of Engiand to our gold standard. Now, I think that any country that has a god Stenvard of value ought, to use a celebrated expression of late, “to think once, twice and thrice’ —(laughte:)—belore they give 1¢ up; but the greatest delusion in the world is to attribute the comimerciai preponderance of britain to our having 4 oid Slanoard, Our goid standard 1s not tue cause of Our commercial prosperity and pre- ponderance; it is the consequence Oi that pros- pecity, 41t 38 very Well to establish it; but you cannot establish a gold standard by vivient means, It must rise graduaily from the large transactions 1 a country wud the consequent command it may have over the precious merais; and when the Various States of Hurope suddenly determine to have @ gold standard and take steps to oring tl lito efiect it Is quite evident that we must prep: -ourseives for great convulsions in tie monetary market, occasioned not by over-speculation, as in tue oid days 16 was always alieged, and justly, as the main cause of our loss, bat to a n cause with which we are not yet ac- quanted apd the consequences of which take us very much unawares, and that is why I take this opportunity of drawing your attendon to the subject.
