TRANSYLVANIA UNIVERSITY.

The Rev. T. Charlton Henry has been unanimously elected the Professor of Languages in our University. From his attainments, not only in the dead languages, but in several of the modern languages, as well as English literature, we believe Mr. Henry to be eminently qualified to fill, with advantage to the public and credit to the institution, the professorship to which he has been elected. As far as we have heard, the wish is general that he should accept the appointment; and we feel assured that he is not indisposed to yield to the wishes of his friends and the trustees of the University.

Mr. Bishop will continue in the institution, as professor of mathematics and the branches connected with that science.

The trustees have adopted a code of laws for the government of the college, digested and derived from the codes of the most distinguished colleges in the union. A view of the proposed reformation, and of the prospects and benefits held out by Transylvania University under its new organization, may ere long be expected by the community. We, therefore, for the present, content ourselves with the expression of a thorough conviction, that the legislative and public hopes will be fully realized from the new character about to be given to the institution.
