MR. GOURLAY.
The spirit of inquiry and investi

ol Upper Canada to look a'ter their
rights. Mr. GourlayN zeal for the
cause has alarmed the ministerial
party, and a suit has recently been
instituted and tried against him, for
publishing libelous and sedit ous mat
ter. The assizes were held by Lord
Campbell, at Kingston. The prose
cution was conducted by Mr Ballon,
wboitis said, was in his speech, il
liberal and vindictive. Mr. GourUy
defended himself with powerful ar
guments, and his address contained
much interesting and important po
litical matter. The charge bore a
g inst the defendant, but the jur,
that impregnable barrier against op
pression and injustice, leturDed a
verdict of not guilty. Repeated ac
cla.uaiionsof applause burst from a.
moat every individual. Mr. Goiirlav
who is the most popular man in up
per Canada, is from a highly respect
able family, and of strict integrity;
about 45 years old, and promises to
become a most valuable citizen ul

TRANSFL VANIA
UNIVERSITY.
Trustees of the Transylva
1 nia University, have the satis
faction to inform the public, tha f th
next Session wilt commence on thr
first Monday in November ensuing
with very enlarged means of exten
ding the usefulness of the Insiiu -
tien.
lo addition to the former building*,
appertaining to the University, a vc
ry large and commodious edifice ha:
just been finished, in the most sui -
stantial and comfortable man net
which contains, besides a chapel ami
,he necessary apartments for tire ex
ercises and lectures, thirty airy
warm and well lighted rooms. Tin
space and united conveniences which
these houses afford have enabled the
trustees to e-Üblish a Refectory,
which will be opened for the accom
modation of the students, at the bc
> ginning of (lie session. Une hun
dred Students may be thus provided
with hoard ai d lodging within the
; walls of the University, and excel
lent board and lodging may be pro
cured in the town, in private fami
-1 lies, t. be approved by the Faculty,
for any gi eater number of the stu
dents that may apply for admission
in the University. Ihe Refectory
and lodging rooms will 00 under the
immediate direction of a Steward,
and will be governed by such rules as
shall nave hi en adopted by the Trus
ti es and the Faculty, to ensure good
discipline, regularity, and the main
tai unce of order. The object o| pe
»'.uniary advantage to the University
not having entered into the views of
the Trustees, hut the Refectory be
ing established soley for . the accom
modation of students, the expenses
to which it .may give rise, v.ill be
justly apportioned among them, and
suca ot the professors and tutors as
may reside with them. The stu
dents are to furnish their own lodg
ing '■o-'in.s, conformable to the prac
tice at other colleges, and, where 2
or more occupy the same room, the
expense of furniture will be equally
divided between them.
The high reputation of the Presi
dent and of the Professors and In
structors, whom the Trustees have
engaged and have made arrange
ments to engage, they are persuaded
entitles the Faculty to the greatest
confidence. The wants and the
wishes of the community require,
that this University shall be placet,
in a condition to afford as good ed
ucation.as is given in other college*
in the United States; and thus to en
able parents and guardians to avoid
the heavy expense, and the long and
• instant separation from their chil
men and wards, incident to remote
■ institutions. To satisfy, in this res
1 pcct,the just hopes of the public, has
beeo the constant and earnest aim of
the Trustees, and they will be great
ly disappointed if their sanguine ex
pectations, from the Arrangements
which have been made, sho„ld not
be realised. The Philosophical ap
paratus belonging to the University,
already considerable, is intended to
be shortly increased) and the Trus
tees confidently hope that the mu
nifireuce of the Legislature of Ken
tucky, whose guardian care has so of
ten been extended to the Universi
t v, will enable them to make large ad*
uiturns to the small but choice col
lection of books which now consti
tutes tiie library, as well as to sup
ply any further means suggested by
experience, ot improving and ex
panding the usetul capacities of the
institution.
The system of study and instruc
tion which the trustees have adopt
’d, has been formed after the best
models in the United States, and
w 'i f h the view to the substitution of
a solid, useful and comprehensive
'cheme ot education to that superfi
cial plan which is too often followed.
Accordingly, the students are divi
ded into tour classes, comprizing a
total period of four years study, and
assigning une year’s continuance in
each of the classes. To obtain ad
mission into the first or Freshman
class the applicant must have a good
Knowledge of Lai n & Greek Gram
mar—of Virgil—The select orations
of Cicero—Sallust—Greek Testa*
ment—Collectanea Greeca Minora;
Clark’s or Mair’s introduction to the
making of Latin; be able to trans
late English into Latin; understand
common Arithmetic; have studied
ancient and modern Geogiaphy; and
ust possess a good moral character.
But any student who is found on
examination, by the Faculty, to be
duly qualified lor cither of the higher i
classes will be allowed to enter such :
higher class by paying, unless he
comes jfrom another college, (in 1
which ease the requisition will not <
be made) the tuition fees of the pre- i
vious class or Classes. For the ac- s
i ommodation of those who may not s
he prepared to enter either of the s
classo*, a grammar school, under the t
immediate direction of the Professor
of Languages, is and will remain at
tached to the University, at which e
■ll the branches are taught which are e
necessary to prepare the student to s
enter the Freshman class. Thestu- ji
dents of tha Grammar school will ai-
so be, at otheta'are'v allowed the ben
efit of the Commons* Hail.
As there may be persons wl,o have
ot, and may not be able to acquire. I
• knowledge of the dead languages,
ut who may, nevertheless, be desi
rous of attending the lectures, pro
ision is made that any such persons
,iav be allowed to attend them ac
ordingl v, as irregular students; but
hey cannot obtain the testimonials
1 thorough education which are con
erred only upon those who have pas*
.ed through the prescribed course oT
study.
The trustees believe they may
safely state, that, exclusive ol cloth
ing and pocket money, respecting
which, the prudence of judiciops pa
rents and guardians will make the
proper suggestions, the whole ex
pense of those who live in Commons
will not exceed Si 75, the college
year. It will be somewhat greater
to those who board in private houses.
The price ol ru tion in (he classes is
840 per annum, and &3U in the
Grammar school. Horn! and surety
lesident at Lexinglo as is custom
ary in other colleges will oe.requjred
ot parents and guardians tor the i eg
uiar paymentoT-college charges* u

the Ist day of January, ami gSJ on
the Ist day of April, may be paid for
tln.se students who live in Com
mons, tube accounted for.by. tiie I
niversity; and one third of the tui
tion money in advance, one third on
the Ist day of January, and the re
maining third on the Ist of April,for
those students who boat d out of the
University.
Lexington is situated in ahighdrv
and gently waving plain, extendin ',
many miles around it, the bads .o'
which is limestone. It is distant
from any large stream of water, un<i
there are no local causes ol disease
in or near it. The country round a
bout it is one of the most fertile in
the United States, furnishing cheap
ly. in great abundance, provisions ol
all kinds. No place is better suppli
cd with pure and excellent water.
It is-perfectly free from any endem
teal dise .se, and no other town in
the United States is believed to ex
ceed it in healthful'ncss The build
logs of the University are erected on
one of the most elevated and eligi
ble positions in the Town. •
The Trustees cannot conclude
• his notice, without respectfully ex
pressing an anxious hope, that the
enlightened public will cont ibute,
by liberal patronage, to enable the,
I'ransy Ivania University to send
forth accomplished young men, of
inished and comprehensive educa
tion, forming useful ornamgntsTof so
