THE usually quiet city of Aberdeen was lately the scene of one of the most disgraceful students riots of modern times. It appears that Dr. Baig, Lord Rector of Aberdeen University, was to de liver his opening address on the 15th ulto, but so continuous and determined was the noise, made by the students--who blew horns, fired crackers, to make himself heard he announced that, with it had been determined to hold the address as the concurrence of the Principal of the University, ready and the meeting broke up in great dis order. The meeting was the most riotous that

century. The students marched in a body from the University, headed by itinerant musicians, pelting the people in the streets with peas and old shoes, and singing ribald songs. They boarded tramway cars, pelting the conductors and passengers. On reaching the hall they found the door barricaded and guarded by a number of stalwart shore porters, engaged for the purpose. After a disgraceful méide the porters were over- powered, the doors were smashed, and the proces sionists rushed into the hall, causing the greatest alarm amongst the ladies and gentlemen who had gathered in the galleries. The scene that ensued was one of the wildcat confusion. Everything
