An American Eectmreship, at Cambridge, England. Mom the European Times, Feb. Mild The proposal of. Dix. Henry Yates Thomp son M. A., for the establishment and en dowment of an American lectureship at Cambridge University, afforded the chief matter of university discussion during the past fortnight. The terms of Mr. Thomp son's_proPositions have already . been pub lished in these columns, and it is therefore unnecessary to repeat them. The accept ance of Mr. Thompson's offer having re ceived the approbation of the council of the senate, a grace proposing its adoption also received the sanction of the council; but Mr. Vice-Chancellor called a parliament of the .university in the Arts School for Saturday afternoon, so that the subject might be welt ventilated and opportunity given for the ex pression of opinions pro and con in the matter. That the subject excited unusual . interest was evidenced by the "fly sheets" published, the most important of which was one by the Professor of Modern History, Professor Kingsley. It was felt dial Prof. Kingsley's opinion was the one necessary, and it was delivered as under: "I trust that it will not be considered as Impertinent, if I, as Professor of Modern Bistory, address a few words on this matter to the Masters of Arts in this University. My own wish is, that the proposal be ac cepted; as frankly as it has been made. Harvard University—an offshoot, practi cally of our own university—is a body, so distinguished, that any proposition coming from it deserves our most respectful consid eration; and an offer of this kind, on their part, is to be looked on as a very graceful compliment. The objections are obvious, but after looking them through fairly as they suggested themselves to me, I must say that they are fully met by Mr. Thompson's own conditions, by the Vice-Chancellor's vote, and by the clause empowering either university to put an end to the lectureship when they like. But they are best met by the character of Harvard University it self. Its rulers, learned and highminded gentlemen, painfully aware of our general • ignorance about them, and honorably .anxious to prove themselves (what they ; are) our equals in civilization, will take care to send us the very best man whom they can find. And more• than one person suggests himself to my mind, whom if they choose (as they would be very likely to choose) I would gladly welcome as my own instructor in the history of his country. When I did myself the honor of lecturing in this Uni versity on the History of the United States, I became painfully aware how little was known, and how little then could be known, on the subject. This great want has been since supplied by a large addition to the University library of American literature. I think it most important that it should be still further removed by the residence among us of an American gentleman. If there should be, in any minds, the fear that this University should be Americanized' or democratized,' they should remember that this proposal comes - from the representatives of that class in America which regards Eng land most with -love and respect ; which feels itself in increasing danger of being swamped by the lower elements of a vast de mocracy; which has of late years withdrawn more and more from public life,„in order to preserve its own purity and self-respect ; which now holds out the ripht hand of fel lowship to us, as one of the most conserve- five bodies in this country, because it feels itself a conservative element in its own country, and looks to us for just recognition in that character. It is morally impossible that such men should go out of way to become propagandists of those very revolu tionary principles against which they are honorably struggling at home. And if there be (as there is) an attemptgoing on just now to 'Americanize' England, on the part of certain. Fnglishnien, no. better defence -against such a scheme can be devised than _:to teach the educated young men of England as much as possible about America; to let hear the truth from worthy American a • ict.:* - Tips, and judge for themselves. But I de -este the introducing . into this question aSty-Botions drawn' from general Ameri , politics, or manners. We have no • • More right to judge of Harvard • by our notions of the New York Herald, or the Black Republican pulpit, then Harvard would have to judge of Cambridge by Reynolds's Mysteries of London, or Bell's Life. It is simply a question between two dignified and learned bodies. Let it remain as such. • There are ais great differences of civilization, • . rank, learning, opinions, manners in Ame rica as in England; and if we are not yet convinced of that fact, it will be gond for us that a highly educated American gentleman should come hither and prove it. Of the general importance of the scheme of the great necessity that our young men should know as much as possible of a country des ' tined to be the greatest in the world, I shalt say little. I shall only ask, if in the second century before the Christian er a the • Romans had offered to send a lecturer to Athens, that he might tell Greek gentlemen of what manner of men this new Italian power was composed, what were their laws and customs, their intentions, and their N4*-^ " notion of their own duty and destiny— * would Athens have been wise or foolish in accepting the offer? May I, in conclusion, allude to one argument, which would of course have no weight with the university in question of right and wrong, but which may have weight in one, like the present, of expediency? If we decline this offer, I fear that we shall give offence, not of course to gentlemen like the rulers of Harvard, but to thousands who care as little for Harvard as they do for our own Cambridge. A Ben . salve people like the Americans, instinct `with national feeling, among whom news is • . spread far more rapidly than in England, will be but too likely to take up our refusal as a national insult. The lower portion of the American press will be but too likely to misrepresent and vilify our motives; and a fresh soreness between us and Americans may be caused (by no real fault of our own) at the very time when we should be doing all in our power to promote mutual good will and gobd understanding. "C. KINGSLEY." This paper was generally accepted as ex haustive of the subject; but nevertheless there was a lingering feeling of opposition, and a numerously attended meeting in the -Arts School was the consequence, the op ,: rirents of the scheme, howeVer, constitut -ing a very small minority. The Vice Chan or presided, and amongst those present were the Rev. the Master of St. John's; the Master of Trinity Han, Mr. Public Orator, Professors Lightfoot, Thompson and Bab ington,. Mr. Yerrers (Caine) Mr. Phear 4Emm')' Mr. Gray (Trinity),' Mr. Martin (Sydney),. Mr. Dodd (Magd.), etc.. in all about fifty. Trial of Another andersonvine Prison Keeper. SAVANNAH", Ga., • March 3.—W.

A VENERABLE MEROIXANT.- , Our obituary colunins have contained the announcement of the death of Mr. James Martin, the oldest commission merchant in the city . . He died on Saturday, at his resi dence, in his 78th year. Mr. Martin had long been connected with the firm of Thomas & Martin, the well-known Front Street commission merchants. He was a director of the United States Bank and was, once elected • President, but declined to' serve. In the palmy days of the Bank of Pennsylvania he was a director of that in stitution. In every relation of life Mr. Martin was a sterling gentleman, an enter prising citizen and a merchant whose record was of the highest and most honorable character. In his death Philadelphia has lost a citizen of whose reputation she might well be proud. PERSONAL.— Our young fellow citizen, Dr. Henry B. Butcher, has received an ap pointment as Assistant Surgeon, 11. S. A., and sailed a few days since for Galveston, by way of New Orleans. on a "scientific ex pedition" to the frontiers .of Texas. The Doctor is one of four brothers who in 1861 took the field against rebellion, and took conspicuous positions in the Army of the Potomac, he then being Captain of Compa ny H, 99th Pennsylvania Volunteers. In the spring of 1863 he resigned his position on account of ill-health, but soon entered the service again as Assistant Surgeon, and was assigned to duty at Harewood General Hospital, Washington, D. C., where he re mained until the close of the rebellion. He however, has now entered upon a new scene of action and we wish him success. • IMMENSE SALE OF MIRRORS.—One of the finest sights we have seen for a long time was at Scett's Art Gallery, 1020 Chestnut street,on last Saturday evening.

The afternoon and evening of to-morrow (Tues day) week have been set apart for this praiseworthy object.
