ANECDOTES OF THE LATE EMPEROR. In the memorable war against Russia in 1812. the news of the entrance of the French into Smolensk°, arrived during the conferences. of the Prince of Sweden with tlle Emperor of Russia; and it was there that Alexander contracted the engagement with himself and the Prince Royal. his ally, never to sign a treaty of peace. 4' Should St. Petersburgh be taken,' said he, 44 I will retirb into Siberia. I will there resume our ancient customs k and, like our long-bearded ancestors, we will return anew to conquer the empire." u This rcsolutien will liberate Europe." exclaimed the: Prince Royal; and his prediction was accomplished. A young officer of the police, who at the setting in of the winter was stationed on the quay at the Neva, to prevent any one from attempting the passage of the river until sufficiently frozen, di,covered a person who had escaped the notice of the guard sink through the ice. Regardless of danger, he plunged in and saved him. The Emperor Alex ender passing at the time, addressed the officer in the most Battering terms; gave him a ring from his linger, and proarued hum. A letter from tie Emperor Alexander tea Nobleman, on whom he had confrrred a patrimonial estate, has this tine conclusion The peasants of Russia ate for the greater part slaves ; it is unnecessary for me to en. large upon the degradation and misery of such a ma e. I have sworn, therefore, not to increase the number of those wretched beings; and have laid it down at a principle, not to dispose of peasants as a property. This estate is granted to yourip:ll and your poster , ty as a tenure for life; which is a tenure differing in this point alone from the generality, that the peasants cannot Ge sold, or alienated as beasts of burden. You know my motives ; I am convinced you would act in the same manner nerve you in my place." A Nobleman in the Government of Woronese, had bought sir thousand peasants of Prince Trubeczkoi, and at the insunce et Alexander off:red them t left freedom, on condition of their making rod the purchase money ; which 'bey did most joyfully, and built a church, to which they gave the name of their benefactor.

LONDON UNIVERSITY. Yesterday a Meeting of Shareholders of this Joint Stock Company was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern,for the purposed electing 24 Gentlemen to form a Council, in the room of the Provisional Committee. At one o'clock there were about hued, ed Gentlemen pie,ent, and Mr. BROUGHAM being unanimously called to the char, he opened the proceedings of the day. The Rev. Mr. Cox, the Provisional Secretary, then read the circular which had called the present Meeting, and stated that the Provisional Committee begged leave to recommend to the notice of the Shareholders the following twenty four Noblemen and Gentlemen: Hon. James Abercrombie, M.P. Right Hem. Lord Auckland, Alex. Baring, Esq. H.P. Geo. Dirkbect, M.D. Henry Broughams * , Ed+ M.P. F.R.S. Thos. Campbell, Eli. Right Has.

Henry Warburton, Esq. F.R.S. Henry Waymouth, Esq. John Wishavr. Esq. F.R.S. Thomas Wilson, Est In answer to a question put by Dr. Gilchrist, The CIIAIRMam stated, that the Provisional Com mittee bad no objection to the minutes of their proceed ns being read; but he begged it to be enJerstood that the Committee, in proposing the names of twenty-fout (leadsmen, had not the least idea of usurping any au thority which did not belting to them, but had done it as the customary thing, leaving open the whole list of Shareholders to be ballotted for, at the option of each Proprietor—( Hear, hear.) The Rev. Mr. Cox then read the minutes of the vari ous meetings of the Provisional Committee. The only important facts that appeared in the course of them were, that they had concluded a bargain for the large blank space, at the end of Gower•sti eet, near Button square, and that a sum of 30,0001. had been paid down for it, and that applications had been made to four, and subsequently to s x architects, to send in designs, for the buildings which were about to be undertaken un that piece of ground. A FROPRIaTott complained of the small competition in the number of Architects fur sending in designs f. r the University. The CIIAIRUAW begged again to explain, that what ever the Provisional Committee had done was alma gether, as their name implied, provisional, and was liable to be approved, amended, or absolutely rejected by the Shareholders. As soon as a Council of twenty lour were regularly appointed, a code of laws wotil,i be drawn up by that Coui.cil, and submitted for approval to a subsequent meeting of Shareholders, with whom, of course, cite whole rear authority rested. A GENTLEMAN observed that he was sorry, when the Committee had undertaken to recommend a certain number of Gentlemen to the Shareholders as fit persons to lorm the Council, that they bad not nominated forty eight instead of tweaty-four, in wi ich case there would have been somalling like choice for the Proprietors. ' Mr. THOMAS CAMPBELL begged co observe, that it seemed to him ra , htr an unreasonable request that the Committee should have guaranteed forty-eight persona as eligible to the office of Members of Council, when, he most candidly confess, that he had strained a point in undertaking to recommend twenty-tour. Scrutineers were then appointed, and the ballot commenced. KEAN is playing with the greatest success at New York.

We are informed that Mr. Morris went a few days since to London, taking with him valid secusities to the amount of 75.0001. with the hope of being able to raise upon them a sufficient ►upply to avert this calamity, and that be returned on Saturday morning in the same situatisp, as when he started. having been unable, owing to the lamentable state of the Money-market, to procures's', as many pence.

Probably there has not been such a day, since some important event had taken plate difring the iste - lestr, as yesterday proved to be with his Majesty's Ministers, who are in London, with the exception of the Lord Chancellor, whose necessary engagemerrs in the Court of Chancery make his interference but very .rare, except at Privy or Cabinet Councils. The important business of Finance, and the state of the Money Market in -ge neral, which now agitates the country at large, eons bitted with the mournful and important event of the sudden death of the Emperor of Russia, engrossed the whole of the attention of the Ministers from an early hour in the morning until a late hour at, night. The Secretaries of State's Offices and the Earl of Liverpool's home, in Whitehall, were in the greatest state of bustle and agitation, during the whole of the day, particularly the Noble Earl's house, which was the general resort of Ministers, Mr. Herries one of the Secretaries to the Treasury, and official Gentlemen of various descriptions. At a late hour on Sunday night, said to be between eleven and twelve o'clock, Mr. Raisner, the valet of Lord Clanwilliam, our Minister at Berlin arrived at the Foreign Office, in Downing -street, with dispatches lions the Noble Earl to Mr. Secretary Canning, announcing the mournful event of the decease of the Emperor of Russia. Mr. Raisner did not leave Berlin WI two o'clock on Tuesday the 19th inst. at which time the death of the Emperor was nut known in Berlin, with the exception of a confined circle ; his Excellency Lord Clanwilliam bad only known it about two hours pre vious to his dispatching Mr. Raisner. Soon after the arrival of the dispatches at the Foreign Office, Mr. Williams *. the King's Messenger, was sent off with dispatches to his Majesty at Windsor, announc ing the melancholy tidings, and two other or the King's Messengers with similar dispatches were sent off to Earl Bathurst, and to Count Lieven, the Russian Ambassa dor, at Brighton • and a Messenger was sent to the Earl of Liverpool, at Coombe Wuod. YesterdAy mcrning, between ten and eleven o'clock, the Earl of Liverpool, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, l and Lord Bexley, arrived in L mdon. These distin guished characters, together with Mr. Secretary Peel and Mr. Huskisson, a ere in ccinsultatian during the day, more so than the rest of the Ministers. Soon after four o'clock there was a general assembly of Ministers, and in addition to those, rhino *ere present,' Mi. Secretary Can. nine, Viscount Melv:Ue, the Duke of. Wellinren, Mr. Wynn, ice. At a quartsrpast throe o'clock, the Governor and Deputy Go. terror of the Bank of England arrived at the Noble Earl's house, and were adinlued to a consultation for upwards of half an hour. At foot o'clock, the Lord Mayor arrived at the Noble Earl's house, iindsras admitted to . a consultation for about So !minutes. The Cabinet Ministers =aimed their general &lib:rases. dli nearly sia o'clock.
