acknowledge that Scotland has any ground of complaint-and yet here is an injury of the most glaring description which their own government is attempting to inflict. Lord Aberdeen is Chancellor of the University College of Aberdeen; the Duke of Argyll, if we mistake not, was nominated for the Lord Rectorship of Glasgow now is the time for them to show us what real regard they have for the interests of the Scottish universities. We have had occasion to complain before of the scandalous neglect of these institutions, which the state is bound by solemn treaty to uphold. We have shown that the recommendations of the Royal Commissioners in their favour, made twentythree years ago, have been entirely overlooked, and that by Governments who have shown no parsimony in the endowment and support of Popish colleges in Ireland. Lord Aberdeen, the present head of the Government,

was one of these Commissioners; but now, when he has it in his power, he will not stir a finger to assist the universities of Scotland. Even Lord Panmure has admitted that something should be done for them; but nothing will be done for them so long as Mr Gladstone has the control of the expenditure. Our complaint now is of a different nature. The case we bring forward is not one of neglectit is one of attempted spoliation. It is an attempt, under the pretext of regulating the affairs of Oxford, to take away from Glasgow College the sole foundation by means of which Scottish students of limited means can be sent to an English university. We have exposed the nature of these attempts, its objects, and inevitable consequences, as we hope, clearly and distinctly; and we entreat the members of the British Parliament not to incur the disgrace of countenancing so cruel a wrong.
