LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 6. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE AND ITS NEW PRESIDENT. Ammo) the offices which have become vacant by the death of Lord Baotronsic is that of the President of University College, London. On Saturday the place was filled by the election of Er. GROTI. A more fitting choice could not have been made. The new President has always mani fested & strong personal interest in the institution of which he is now tho head, and of which, for many years, ho has been the Treasurer. His time has been freely given, and his purse has been widely opened, when ever just demands were made on either. He has always been true to the principles of free and unsectarian training on which the College is based ; and is himself an illustrious example of that scholarship and cultivation which it is the proper business of a University to impart, and the possession and communication of which distinguish it from a school of the technical arta, or the practical sciences. The connection TIIE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1868. of the late President of University College and of his associates in its establishment with the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, tended at first to give it a somewhat utilitarian character, in the narrowest and least worthy sense of that term. The College had its origin in a reactionary movement not simply against the exclusive soo tarian tests which fenced round the tree of knowledge in the older seats of learning, but also against the too exclusive cultiva vation of ancient erudition and abstract bpoculation to the neglect of modern science and the applied arts. There was some danger at one time of University College sinking into a group of schools for the several professions. Medicine and law, civil engineering and archi tecture, and the experimental sciences in their applications to manufactures and inventions, were, perhaps, unduly insisted on. Mon have a natural tendency to emphasise a protest until the protest itself is converted into a narrow and exclusive dogma, requiring the same opera tion to be performed upon it. The evil, in the case of University College, lay not so much in its actual operation as in the opinions entertained in regard to it. What wee characteristic in it 1 , 1119 hold to be its solo feature. Because it favoured modern science and the practical arts it was hold to discountenance ancient scholarship and polite learning. The devotees of classical culture looked upon the innovators of Gower street with much the same feeling as that with which the obeourantiets of the scholastic phi losophy in the fifteenth century regarded the re vivers of Greek and Latin scholarship. These prejudices have been overcome. The educational principles on which University College was founded have made their way to Oxford and Cambridge and Dublin ; they have been re sognieed in the old Universities of Scotland and in the Queen's Colleges of Ireland ; and private liberality and enterprise have founded in Man chester and Liverpool, and in the greet cities of our American and Australian colonies, institutions similar to that of which University College afforded the first model. Torches which illumine vast ro gions of the civilised world have boon lighted from the little candle which forty years ago was set np in a corner of this city. Public gratitude is due to the men who first kindled and who have since kept alive the sometimes flickering flame. The direct benefits which Uni versity College has conferred upon liberal and =sectarian education in England have been considerable. But its chief service has lain in its embodiment of a principle which, at AM denounced and afterwards neglected, has been at length recognised and more or leas oom ' pletely adopted in all the groat institutions of the country. The election of Mr. GROTE to the presidency of the College may bo regarded as a kind of indirect reply to the narrow educational theories which have found influential and powerful advocates at the present day. The physical sciences, the ap plied arts, and the modern tongues, which formerly were content to prefer a modest claim to a place in the circle of instruction, have become in their turn exclusive and domineering. Like the younger gods of Olympus, they aim to disperse.s and overthrow the older Titanic) dynasty which want before them. Lord Baovoaax was a fitting representative, forty years ago, of the neglected claims of science and useful knowledge. No one could better embody than Mr. GEOTE the still valid titles of classical scholarship, of historic earning, and of speculative philosophy, to have a place, and a conspicuous place, among liberal studies. The historian who has most pro foundly investigated the sources of the Greek intellect and character, and exhibited them in their evolution through the drama of Greek history; the most erudite and profound interpreter of the speculative movement which dates from Scrawrrs, and at the same time a keen analyst and critic of the latest phases of philosophic controversy in the writings of HAMILTON and blux—Mx. GROTE'S literary fame has been won in fields which such men as Mr. Lows pro nounce to be exhausted and to be incapable of yielding fruits to future cultivation. These studies have been pronounced to be without bearing on practical life. But if there be any pursuit which is practical it is surely that of politics ; and the mark of his favourite pursuits was clearly impressed upon the brilliant and useful, but too brief parliamentary career of the distinguished historian of Greek action and philosophy. It is well that a learned body, such as University College, should have a representative holding a front place in the very first rank of men of letters and of learning. In waiving the claims of the Presidency, which his constant and disinterested services as Vice-Presi dent gave him, Lord BEranat afforded a now proof of his unselfish devotion to the college ho has served so long. In enlarging the range of academic studies, the older Universities have followed the example set them by the college in Gower-street. It will not, we hope and believe, be very long before they imitate it in casting aside the last rags and shreds of sectarian monopoly and restriction which still bang about them. University College gives signal proof of the hollowness of the religious bug-bear which scares some respectable men out of their right reason. Christians, Jews, Parsecs, Mohammedans, Roman Catholics, Churchmen, and Dissenters, have met within its walla as professors and students, without danger to faith and morale. Whencesoever rationalist or sceptical notions may have come, they have not issued in any exclusive or considerable degree from University College. At present, in its junior school, there are, we believe, ten Japanese students, who have not sco ceoded in perverting any of their Christian school fellows. Let Mr. BEIIESFOB.D HOPE take heart. Religion will not perish when it ceases to be allied with injustice. Mr. Coutsmos's Bill will not bring Christianity, nor oven the Church of England, to an end. and drains aro abnonuafly offensive, and our streets have, over and abovo the gonoral close- nese and stuffiness of July, a fusion of foul flavours. The taints and odours are spread ing from the courts and alleys over our handsomest and moat spacious thoroughfares, and are intensifying and thickening in their native homes as well. Men are asking and hoping for rain as they seldom do for a merely natural blessing ; and night after night does the sky give promises which the morning breaks. The sparse driblets of the last week have done little more than sharpen our sense of the evil. The owners of gardens, and the men whose business calls them out of doors, join in a plaintive if prosaic chorus for further wet. For many days and evenings there have been the signs and tokens which make the weather wise look confidently for the coveted showers, but umbrollas aro carried in vain and the earth continues athirst. This morning even, the gloomy clouds hung down hovoringly like so many masses of cotton wool which have boon steeped in ink. But the wind is declared to be in the wrong quarter, and the eager, and to those who weigh consequences, the painful question—Whoa will the rain come I' is still on our lips. ONE of the most memorable debates ever heard in the House of Commons was that on the Ma ttel-Ls budget in mid-December of 1852. This was the angry contest in which Mr. Dzeasam told Sir JAMBS GRAHAM that ho did not respect him; in which Mr. GLarkeream rebuked Mr. Dza wir.i in a vehement speech of an order whioh he seldom makes now-a-days ; and which ended in the defeat of the Tories by a majority of eighteen. In the course of the weak occurred that me morable little " row" at the Carlton, in which some gentleman observed. in the presence of Mr. oLaoirrosre. that ho ought to be pitched out of the window in the direction of tho Reform Club;-mere another was version of the story, with a gallows in it; but the first,whioh we remember best, is the moat plausible. One of the most graoeful appear ances aver made—on any stage—by Mr. was when ho came down on the Friday to the House to announce that the DiaßT Ministry had resignod. and to apologise for hasty words. Es manner was almost seraphically week and in his button-hole was a rose. But that is not the point now. On Thursday, the 16th of December, 1852, Mr. D/SBAELI, In defending his Budget in Com mittee, said ono of his best things :—" I have " been sdvisod to withdraw my motion, as Mr. " PITT and othore havo done. Now. I do not " aspire to the fame of Mr. Prrr, but I will not " submit to the degradation of others.' " Well, an emasculated story is a dreary thing, and one would have thought it Impossible that a really clover magazine, of old standing, should print, as does a magazine of the oharacter we have desmibod, this month, such abor tive nonsense es the following :—" Mr. Drs. " luau is the Paladin of debate, and woe "to the man who crosses his path 1 His power of " reporke is a marvel. It forma one of tho tradi " Lions of the House of Commons.' Take back your " budget like Prrr I' *I do not aspire to the " ' fame of Mr. PITT ; but I will not descend to " tho degradation of "others."' There you have a " sample of his fire and his wit. It is always at " his oommand." Air attempt at this period of the session to dis turb the boundary settlement as fixed by the House of Commons must result, if suceeesful, in producing delay, though every moment is precious. Nevertheless, we hear that Lord RATEsswourn encourages the project of socking to undo in the House of Lords the arrangement so far as it affects one of the divisions of Durham ; and also that, on behalf of the Glas gow municipality, who are influenced by local con siderations only, another effort will be made to secure their pet scheme of including a large sub urban district in the borough constituency. It is to be hoped that at the last moment larger motives and a more generous policy will prevail. TIIE prorogation of the /louses of Parliament may, it is thought, take place on the 21st inst., and the dissolution in the first week of November. Cost.—Aeoording to a return published this morning, the quantity of coal exported from the United Kingdom during the year 1867 amounted to 10,062,769 tons; of cinders, 343,326; of calm, 19,693; and of patent fuel, 160,061. The quantity of coal brought into London in 1866 was 6,003,089 tons; whereas in 1887 it was 6,329,650. The quantities of patent fuel brought into London during the same period show a large increase in the consumption, for while in 1866 11 was only 8,616 tons, in 1867 it amounted to 29,730 tors _ Mr. Disraeli's first peer, Visoonnt Bridport, enjoys a somewhat exceptional holm& He exchanges a barony in the peerage of Ireland (an honour which confers no right to a seat in the House of Lords) for a viscountcy, the fourth order fa the peerage of the United Kingdom. _ . _ As a rule an Irish earl os viscount is coontent with the lowest order in the English peerage—a barmy.

It was explained to the archbishop that the principle on which the promoters worked was the abolition of the use of drugs and alcohol, and the cure of diseases by removing the cause. Their theory was "a proper attention to the skin, skilfully proportioned as to time, quantity, and temperature, with good air and other compliances" Dr. Manning's assistance was asked, in getting the system tested in some of the workhouse infir maries, and his grace, considering the purpose a commen dable one, promised all the aid in his power. The Mail understands that the Dublin, Wex ford, and Wicklow Railway lies been eaccansful in an application to the Treasury for a reduction of interest upon their government loans, and an extension of time for the repayment of them, with the option of extinguishing their principal and interest by the payment of a moderate fixed annuity terminable in twenty-six years.

This week a number of first class hunters and steeple. chasing mares were oceurigned to their destination. The unhappy dispute between Mr. Hugh Mont gomery Moore and his wife respecting the custody of their children came before the Lord Chancellor at Dublin on Saturday for his decision upon a petition presented by Mrs. Moore, to be allowed to retain possession of the younger child. Some time since her husband applied for a writ of Habeas Corpus to the Queen's Bench, but that court allowed the matter to stand over pending the judg ment of the Lord Chancellor upon the petition. In the meantime Mr. Moore took away to France the boy whom he bad taken from her in Waterford. At the sug gestion of his lordship, an understanding was come to that the father should retain the boy and the mother the infant daughter, and that mutual facilities for seeing the children should be afforded. The opening of the new Town-hall and Corn Exchange at Ringwood, in Hampehire, erected at the ex pense of John Moran, Esq., the lord of the manor, took place last week, and was celebrated by a banquet and great rejoicings.

Matjeu had received the party in a friendly manner and pointed out the treasure ; he also a:premed himself anxious to be taken under British protection. It was apprehended there would not be any serious difficulty in keeping open communication with the gold fields through the ocmustries of the other African chiefs on the route.

TEE long-continued drought is becoming a matter of serious import to the country, and if the population of the kingdom could be polled, a longing for rain would be found at this time to be among the most earnest and wide-spread of its wishes. Every description of land pro duce is damaged, and the face of nature has a parched and weary look which is almost human in its expression of long suffering. The traveller by railway, through any part of England, reads the same story in county after county. Fields which should be green and fresh have an arid and rusty look, as if their vegetation were artificial and had grown shabby. The soil is harsh and drouthy, as the palate of some Rabelaisian drunkard; the hedges are bald and brown, while the grass of parks and pleasure grounds is burnt down as completely as if it had been singed by some fashionable dresser and re storer of hair. London is suffering too. Our sewers VISIT OF THE QUERY TO MARLBOROUGH HOUSE. (B: =Lamm.) WINDSOR, MONDAY.

KING THEODORE'S SON.--A private letter from Alexandria, dated June 21, says :—" The late Theodore's son is a very intelligent and fine little fellow, of seven or eight years of age. He is under the care of Captain Speedy, to whom he is much attached, and whom he calls his father. The little fellow is somewhat timid, which perhaps is not to be wondered at after what he has passed through. If he wakes up in the night he ones out lustily until assured that his guardian is near at hand. His bed is placed by the side of the captain's. The boy is now dressed in a knickerboker suit and straw hat. He sails hence to-morrow in ha Majesty's ship Urgent for Poets month." OUR PARIS LETTER. (PROW OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, StrxDAT Evairnre. In the Corps Legislatif yesterday M. Jules Fevre made a speech on the budget which led to a tumult and called up M. Honker. He began in a quiet, business-like, and even prosy way, recapitulating M. Thiene figures, arguing with M. Thiers that the expenses arbitrarily classed under the head of extraordinary were in reality ordinary because of a nature to recur constantly, and that nothing but a radical change of system could prevent annual deficits and heavy loans every now and then to cover them. He did not quite agree with 11. Emile 011ivier that no economy could be realised upon any branch of the civil service, but did not desire to dwell upon that sub ject because the amount of saving practicable would be relatively inconsiderable. But towards the end of his speech he took the bull by the horns and said in most plain language that the great incubus on Prance was her large army, that each an army could not be wanted unless war was meditated, and that the crying evil was that the Emperor in his secret councils could declare war without the country having any sufficient control over his designs. He stated boldly as a fact too notorious to be oontradicted [M. Rouher, I observe parenthetically, did not attempt to contradict this statement] that when Napoleon 111. met the Emperor of Austria at Salzburg last year he asked him to join in a European war, and the world was indebted to the Emperor of Austria's refusal for the preservation of peace up to the present time. He and hie friends had often called upon the government for a conso latory declaration—a plain, unmistakable declara tion that France had no thought of war. He did not wonder that this declaration had never been obtained. The reason was that the ministers knew no more of the matter than did the members of that house. There was one single man who might set at nought their wishes, and plunge them into a war whenever he chose. The only possible way to restore confidence was for that single man to come forward and say—and he might make the promise effectually through his. Senate—that he would not declare war without first consulting the representatives of the people. Then the equili brium of the budget would be restored, and then France would resume her rank in the world, and be relieved from sterile sacrifices. That was the necessity of the moment. They wore constantly told that if the expenditure had been great, magnificent results had been obtained. He did not desire to spoil this eulogy by criticism. He would accept the hypo thesis, but what he would say was :—lf you are benefactors you are too extravagant benefactors. If France is rich enough to pay for her glory, she is not rich enough to pay for the Empire under these conditions. It is time for Franco to recon sider her position. Loud cries of " Call him to order," succeeded by tumultuous applause from the opposition, followed tbia conclusion of M. Jules Rivre's spnrcli.

The health .4 lhs guests was proposed by Oovernor Fenton. Mr. BIIRLINOAIIB responded to the toast, and, in ex. planing the object of the mission, said—lt was seat two. that China might have her difficulties staked, and that happened to be at the head of it was, perhap,. more an accident than any design. It was, perle,.., because I had been longer there than my leagues, and because I was about to learn one, perhaps more than bectSUM3 I was as,. dated with the establishment of the co-operative poi,. which, by the aid of abler men than myself, wee Wished not many years age—(cheers)—amid it is to se that policy- which has received the warm approval all the great treaty Powers, ail which is ehenahel China—that we are ant fo: th.

There are men who say —ex of that tyrannical school— who say that China DOI fit to alt at the council board of the na tions, who call them barbarians, who attack them on ail °minima with a bitter and unrelenting spirit.

The people loyal while living, their last prayer while dying is to sleep in the sexed see of their fathers. (Chows.) It is the laud of scholars, r.
