ALBERT SMITH'S CHINA TO-NIGHT at 8, and TO-MORROW AFTERNOON at 3 o'clock. --Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. it of Rile is in METROPOLITAN RAILWAY and CITY TERMlNUS.—Proposals for the Allotment of the Con tractors' Shares.—At a MEETING of the Requisitionists, held at the Mansion-house, on the 28th of January, 1859, The Right Hon: the LORD MAYOR in the Chair, The following. Report of the Committee was received, and unanimously adopted : The Committee of Requisitionists appointed at the great Meeting at the London Tavern to give effect to the subjoined resolutions passed upon that occasion, have been engaged since the date ..)f the Meeting in making arrangements, under the advice of eminent counsel, so as to define, with legal accu "en the terms and conditions upon which the shares required tO complete the undertaking are to be issued. The terms and conditions of the arrangements will be found in the form of applications for shares, approved by 31r,James Wilde and Mr. Lush. The Committee reprint the resolutions as unanimously azreed to by one of the largest and most influential meetings over which the Lord Mayor of London has ever been called Ypn to preside. The facts, arguments, and conclusions set !?r o th in those resolutions will afford the best recommenda tion to the public to give their practical support to the objects of the Sleeting by applying.for shares. The Committee have the satisfaction to state that the Right ''."-"the Lord Mayor, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, A.G. and M.P., and Sn• James Duke, Bart. M.P.,- and R. W. Crawford, Esq., M.P., ( two of the Representatives of the city,) have accepted the office of Trustees, and in their names the deposits will be placed in the London and Westminster Bank. • Ina letter the Committee have received from the Directors of the Railway Company they avow that they look at the un ii;twakaing• purely as a commercial speculation with a view to WU. Others who have always abstained from engaging in y projects h ave a ppli e d f or shares from philanthropic motives, and others with a view to the relief of our streets. , Various as - may be the influences which govern mankind, it IS quite clear that, however strong the desire of the public pay.b6 to see thi s ;neat measure carried into execution, unless iie. proper means be taken the end cannot be attained. , Committee do not feel it to be-within their province to ' oiermore than recom men d the resolutions of the Public Meet , and the pro s p ec t us o f th e C om pany to the careful perusal o every man who may be prompted to render the required assistance by any of the motives refered to. It has b een, however, - the anx i ous d e t erm i na tion of the yeanni:ttee toss are no exertion which prudence could sug g'est to-ascertain all the facts of the case, and to surround the IVoPcised arrangement with such legal safeguards that appli- - e anis for shares may not, in any event, be involved in - a re- B P o nsibility which they are not willing to undertake. ~; The names of the present Directors of the Company will be imind at the head of the Company's prospectus ; they are n ilemen whose standing in society renders any voucher of their respectability quite unnecessary from us. , It is part of the arrangement that vacancias at the Board B nall be made for four Directors, to be appointed by the new su bscribers out of their own body. CHARLES WHITE, Chairman of the Committee. Resolved unanimously: t9l:h add at it be referred to a joint Committee of 25, with power to their. number, to give effect to the foregoing arrange !nents, and to report to an adjourned meeting of the Requisi tionists on the 10th of March- next, or on such other day as me Lord Mayor may name for the purpose. That such Committee do consist of the Lord Mayor and the other Trustees, together -with six of the Aldermen, or Corn 'lion Councilmen, or City officers, six members of city firms, three Directors of the Great Western and of the Metropolitan Railway Companies, and three of the Great Northern Rail way Company, or failing their adhesion, of three resident landowners on the line, interested in obtaining the accommo dation of a city station.

THE PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION OF ENGLAND AND WALES. • meanly fitted, and the whole interior more reminds the visitor of a barrack or cheap workhouse than a tolerably well endowed college, and one' for the erection and maintenance of which the nation sub scribed nearly £170,000. The south entrance of the building leads at once to the great dining hall, a fine room 88 feet long by 28 wide, 'and 33 high, and from which the visitor passes to the south or entrance hall quadrangle, round the four sides of which is a cloistered arcade, 8 feet wide, intended to afford an open air prome nade to the students in bad weather. In the walls of this arcade aro placed 24 niches, reserved for the busts of the more distinguished of our heroes who have died in the service of their country, or who in future years may add additional lustre to the fame of English arms in the conduct of wars as yet un thought of. The basement rooms round this quad rangle are kitchens and domestic offices. The apart ments round the north, or schoolroom quadrangle, are the upper class rooms, play rooms, and library, with the head master's and secretary's rooms at the north entrance. The dormitories run the whole length of the east and west wings of the building, -and are only divided by the central tower, which gives access to them on either side. Each boy has his own distinct sleeping room, - which is 11 feet long by eight wide, and 14 high, and the plan of the College is so contrived that to every boy's room is a large window looking out upon the heath. The towers which lead to these sleeping rooms are made useful as well as ornamental, and are partly used as the ventilating shafts for the dormitories, through which they keep a constant flow of pure air, while foul air shafts provide for carrying off the vitiated atmosphere from below. In order to make this ventilation as perfect as pos-• Bible, the partitions which divide each boy's room are not carried up to more than within four feet of the ceiling, so that 111 . 6 :- fresh air circulates frevly along the whole length of the dormitory from north to south. There are two stories of such dor mitories on the east and west sides ; but the ac commodation in both is the same, and with both wings a corridor of communication enables the head master to pass through them at any time he chooses, whenever an unsual noise may lead bin to believe his presence necessary. 64 sleeping rooms are on each floor, and two floors in each wing, which gives a total number of 256 boys' rooms, but, as it is intended that there shall never be more than 240 students in the College the 16 rooms surplus will be occupied by the under-masters and ushivs. So much for the College itself. As our readers are aware, it is founded for the education of the orphan sons of officers of her Majesty's Army- and Navy. The English public in all parts of the world contributed to the foundation of this institu tion, for it was generally felt that no more appro priate monument could be raised to the memory of the illustrious Duke than one which, exclusive of its external appearance and architectural merit, should serve the higher purpose of giving nearly a gratui tous education to the orphans of that profession of which he was himself the head and brightest orna ment. The total amount of subscriptions received, including interest on sums invested, and donations of £25,000 from the Patriotic Fund, and £3,000 from Sir J. Bailey, M.P., was .L 159,000. Of this sum £105,000 has been invested on mortgage at £4 per cent. ' yielding an annual income of no less than £4,200 The lowest tender for the erection of the College was barely under £40,000, including the principal fixtures and fittings ; but, adding to this amount the sums for the purchase of the 120 acres, for the erection of a chapel and infirmary, boilers and steam machinery, kitchen apparatus, and for insuring an abundant supply of pure water, and the total outlay will not probably be less than £55,000. The chapel, however, is postponed for the pre sent, and a temporary one has been fitted up in the south half of the upper east dormitory. About 70 boys are already in the College, all of whom wear its uniform—a simple but rather Ger man half-military. dress. The first 100 boys will be admitted on the following terms : PUBLICATIONS.

" During the whole progress of the undertaking we have thankfully to acknowledge the unceasing support with which we have been honoured by your Majesty and your illustrious Consort ; and your Majesty's gracious attend ance upon the formal inauguration 'this day of the ihiant institution constitutes a new claim upon our gratitude, in addition to the many favours which it has already pleased your Majesty to bestow upon it. " We are the more grateful for this mark of your Ma jesty's favour, inasmuch as it has been awarded at a mruent of deep personal anxiety, now happily dispelled by an event which has been hailed with heartfelt satisfaction by the whole body of your Majesty's subjects, and on which we trust we may be permitted to ()Mr to your Majesty our respectful and affectionate congratulation. • " We now beg leave humbly to submit for your Majesty's gracious approval and sanction the standing rule„ and regu lations by which, subject to such amendments as it may from time to time be found advisable to introduce, it is proposed that this College should be governed. 'We trust th a t it may speedily afford such evidence of its usefulness as may sub. stantiate its claims to yet further liberality on the part of - the public, and that the governors may thus be enabled -to extend more widely than. is in their power at present to those classes for whom it is especially intended the benefits of this noble charity. " It would be too much to hope that it should ever boast of one from among its pupils who might - emulate the fame of the great warrior an I statesman in whose honour it has been erected ; but we may trust that by the blessing Almighty God upon its teaching it may send forth many de:ply imbued with the lofty principles which regulated his conduct ; and prepared, whatever may be their station in life, to follow the great example which he has left of WI , swerVing loyalty t i the Throne, of devotion to his country's service, and of strict and unhesitating tZedience*the calls ' of public duty."

Her Majesty bowed and accepted the address, and received from Mr. Walpole the reply, which she read in her clear musical voice, distinctly audi ble in every part of the hall. The reply was as follows : "My Lords and Gentlemen,—l thank yeu for your loyal and dutiful address, and for your congratulations on an event for which, if anything had been wanting to complete my joy and gratitude, it would have been found in the spon taneous expression which has been elicited of the sympathy and affection of my people. " It gives me sincere pleasure to inaugurate the formal opening of this admirable institution, of which I was glad on a former occasion, at your request, to lay the founda tion stone. Resolutions above referred to : That the overcrowding of our streets with vehicles during b usiness-hours is highly injurious to trade, and entails much loan of valuable tine upon a large number of persons of both sexes and all classes, who are obliged daily to resort to the gteat Public monetary and commercial establishments with Which this city abounds. .That the crowd e d s t a t e o f th e d we lli ngs o f th e po or i s o n e 0f the most serious of our social evils—an evil which in this i 8 aggravated by the fact that respectable working men, e and willing to pay for decent dwellings, are compelled, ?Y the want of . space, to live with their families in the same co urts and all e y s, an d often in the same houses, with the b.?" degraded classes, in the midst of every variety of disease, - "letY, and vice. i a- v . uears te this Meeti, by calculaions deduced m Zetoffipcial railway returns ng for the last t six years, that fr t o he , w 72 3i lting classes are th e mos t p ro fit a bl e cu stomers to rail kurand this meeting is strongly impressed with the s va on advanced by M r .

This Meeting la of opinion that it would be much to be regretted if so ,avourable an opportunity of proving the use and profit of the Rub -railway system were to be lost, and that this Meeting do therefore invite those who feel an interest in removing o bstructions from the streets of the city and improving the dwellings of the poor by means of the sub-way railway system, as well as those who regard it only as a commercial aPeculation, to take shares in the undertaking, provided it can be satisfactorily proved that the w or k w ill be completed for the sum stated, and that no shareholder will be involved in any pecuniary responsibility beyond the sum he may be pleased to subscribe.

We have supposed them to be added to the twelve counties, to make the totals correct. t Mr. Bright's plan gives 17 seats to Scotland and 5 to Ireland, making up 500. " From that time to this I have watched its progress with 'unceasing satisfaction. I have seen how difficulties in separable from such an undertaking have been gradually overcome, and I hail with thankfulness the completion of a work (a nation's tribute to the memory of. one of her greatest men) destined to furnish the means of a religious, moral, and intellectual education of the best .description to the children of many deserving officers which they could not other's ise obtain. "In the students now before me I am glad to recognise the first-fruits of this benevolent work ; and I trust they will, by their steady industry and honourable conduct, their cheerful obedience to those who are set in authority over them, and their behaviour to each other, earn a cha racter for the College worthy of the name it bears. " I pray that the Divine blessing may ever rest on this institution, and that it may lead all those who may be here educated to imitate, in their firm determination at all times and on all occasions to do their duty in that state of life unto•which it may please God to call there, one of the chief characteristics of the Duke of Wellington." The whole of the address and the first paragraph of the reply were, we believe, written by Lord Derby. The rest of the reply was the joint pro duction of an hon. and a right hon. gentleman, and our readers may see for themselves that one more inelegant in its structure, or more vapid and com monplace in its expression, was never put into the hands of her Majesty. At the conclusion of the address and reply, the Archbishop of . Canterbury offered up a brief prayer for the Divine blessing on the efforts of the College. Her Majesty then signed the rules and statutes of the College, and with this act the ceremonial terminated. At the conclusion of the proceedings her Majesty ar.d the Royal family returned t o the head master's apartments, where lunch was served. The Earl of Derby, with the other governors and distinguished visitors, also partook of a superb collation, which was served by Messrs. Staples, of the Albion, in their usual ad mirable style. Her Majesty and the Royal family quitted the College shortly before two o'clock for Windsor. The Fourth Edition, Just Published, Svo, in cloth, price ss. by post free, ss. 6d.

The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular.

They believe that Numerous population, and the supply of its wants, are the „s: and surest foundations of railway prosperity ; and when reflect upon the enormous population of the district Lurough which this line will pass, its productive capabilities in connection with the goods and passenger traffic of the Great neetern. and Great Northern Railways and their tributaries, ns.ind, espe-cially of the Midland and the Manchester, Sheffield, uo L incolnshire Companies, which have recently obtained Pec-l 3 s to the station at King's-cross, its contingent connec ,lLM with the M e t ropo li tan Cattle Market and North L on d on ine.. and upon the f ac t th a t i t cannot b e su bj ecte d t o com - In thepetition with lo w - pr i ce d steam b oats or with any new railway • same direction, but only with slow and expensive omnibuses and cabs, they feel that this railroad will inevit luxe prove the source of very large dividends to shareholders. '• Various attempts have been made to reduce these large sources of revenue to some definite financial result. These , i , lculations, whether based upon the existing traffic by pub ye vehicles, or from the passengers which may be assumed from each station by each train, or upon the passenger traffic of the North London, the Blackwall, and the London-bridge Station Railways, taken in connection w'th the population along those lines, prove a receipt, after a liberal allowance for Working expenses, sufficient to pay upwards of 10 per cent. on the outlay. But the impression is so general that the pro fits will be large, that there can be no necessity to repeat the Calculations. It is part of the arrangement with the Committee of Requi- Sitionists that four vacancies shall be made in the Board, to be filled up by the parties who may now take up the shares offered, and that all existing engagements with the Com pany are to be subject to revision by the Board when so re- Modelled.

An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill arc equally requisite. In the new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. In cases where the vital essences have been yveakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits. indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by iniudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

JOHN A. HIGHAM, Actuary and Secretary. ROYAL EXCHANGE, LONDON. On Saturday her Majesty inaugurated the public opening of this institution, and consequently the bleak, inhospitable-looking moor on which the building has unfortunately been erected, wore, for the first time, such a busy aspect as was almost sufficient to give an air of animation even to a spot so desolate and cold. The precise locale of the new College is not very easy to describe beyond saying that it is situated near the valley of the Blackwater, apparently many miles from any village, though in reality, about three from Sandhurst and four from Farnborough station. The country for a consider able extent round the building is of the same kind of waste heath land as that on which the camp at Aldershott is situated, with the difference that the College land seems, of the two, even poorer and more barren. The selection of a spot so wild and cheerless is only attempted to be accounted for by the fact that the 12 acres of land on which the Col lege and its outbuildings stand were presented to the Wellington Memorial Fund gratuitously, though clogged with the condition that all the bricks used in the construction of the buildings should be obtained from the munificent donor's brickfields. This arrangement and the subsequent purchase by the governors of the College of 120 additional acres of moorland must have quite re paid the gentleman who so generously gave the the first 12 acres. It is now a matter of great though useless regret that the governors ever ac cepted such an offer, and were led to erect a national memorial on ground so utterly bleak and barren in appearance, and the means of access to which by rail are so circuitous that the journey occupies nearly two hours. What by no means tends to lessen the dissatisfaction with which the site is regarded is the fact that, after the arrangement for accepting the 12 acres was entered into, a gentle man, both of whose sons had fallen in the Crimea, offered to convey to the Commissioners a small but beautifully situated estate on which to build the College in the neighbourhood of Windsor. This generous offer, however, came too late, and unfor tunately could not be accepted. The whole extent of ground belonging to the col lege is 132 acres. All the land not occupied by the buildings will, in course of time, be converted into a gymnasium, playground, shrubbery, parade, and a large artificial lake on the north side of the build ing intended to be upwards of 20 acres in extent, and in the formation of which, if we may judge from the aspect of the ground, the contractors will be wonderfully assisted by 'the efforts of nature. The college itself may be described as a handsome edifice, in the decorated Italian-or mixed style. The whole building forms externally one large quad rangle, 260 feet long by 154 wide, tke east and west sides of which are the wings or main portions of the whole. The cross buildings which complete the quadrangle at the top and bottom are the head master's and secretary's house on the north-east, the main entrance-hall on th e south-west end. The large courtyard which is thus enclosed inside these build ings is subdivided into two quadrangles by the intersection of the school for the junior boys. Such is the ground plan. The two main wings are, from their height and number of windows, especially imposing. They are faced with orange and purple bricks, in the style known among builders as gauge work, and alternating with courses of white ma sonry. The effect of all this is warm and cozy-look ing. Each wing is divided in the centre by a wide and lofty tower, 25 feet by 120 high. The view from the upper stories of these towers, where are placed the tanks which supply high-pressure fire mains on every floor and landing, is as extensive as could be desired. From the north side you overlook Wokingham and Windsor ; the latter distinctly visible though 12 miles distant. The south faces immediately on that part of Hampshire known as the Hartford-bridge Flats ; but over the hills which bound it can be gained a view of an immense extent of country, from Bearwood on one side to Strath fieldsaye upon the other. The towers, however, are not the principal entrances. These are situated in the centre of the cross buildings on the north-east and south-west ends, the chief one being through the latter, under a handsome clock tower dominating the entrance hall. From this point of view the ap pearance of the edifice is striking, and when entirely finished, and the niches which adorn the wings at either end are filled in with appropriate statues, the approach will be in every respect worthy of the college and the hero in whose honour it is reared. The internal subdivisions of the building maintain the favourable impression produced by the exterior. All the rooms without exception are spacious, lofty, well ventilated, and well placed; the play, s c ho o l, dining, and domestic rooms being on the ground floor, and the dormitories and dwelling rooms exclu sively. confined to the upper portions. This, how ever, is all that can be said of them, for the fittings are of the very roughest an d even poores t descrip tion. The brickwalls are 'merely whitewashed over. The bedrooms, with their stone floors, seem cold and Now -FOUNDATIONERS. Fourth Class.-19 boys to pay .£4O a year each, to be nominated by the governors. Boys not orphans, the sons of officers serving in the army, will be admitted in this class. The subjects of instruction given to the boys will include what is usually understood by a good Eng lish and classical education, with those branches of scientific knowledge which have a special applica tion to the arts, commerce, and industry of the country, and the modern languages. The religious worship and teaching are, of course to be according to the doctrine and principles of the Church of England ; but attendance on such wor ship or teaching will not be required of boys whose guardians may object on the grounds of religious dissent. Thus, then, the annual income of the College, in eluding the payments to be made by the 100 boys, will be £6,160, which is considered sufficient to pro vide a suitable staff of masters, and to cover all ex penses for 100 boys; as the funds of the College increase the boys admitted will be all placed on the foundation, and the fourth class or non-foundation ers ultimately abolished. The ceremonial of Saturday, if such a brief and formal proceeding may be so termed, took place in the Great Hall of the College, which, as it was only able to accommodate about one per cent. of those anxious to be present, caused tickets of ad mission to be sought after with peculiar eagerness. Nearly all the visitors, however, were from Landon, and came in special trains by the South-Eastern and South-Western Railways to the temporary station upon the latter line, a short distance from the College. But short as was this distance it was quite sufficient to enable all to appreciate the bleakness of the situation, for wind and drizzly rain were sweeping across the heath with vindictive keenness, and altogether the appear ance of things was as cheerless and unpromising as well as could be. The Great Hall in which the ceremony took place is a most unpretending apart ment, with whitened brick walls and plain oak ceiling. A few flags, with wreaths of laurel, were placed between the windows, and a dais with crimson canopy erected at one end for the Queen. Beyond this no attempt was made at decoration, and the appearance of the room, therefore, was in every.way paltry and unworthy the occasion. On each side of the dais were scats for the governors and distinguished visitors, while in front of it were placed forms for the boys of the College. B e hind these sat the general visitors on 16 seats, from which, as none were raised, only those favoured few who sat on the front one saw anything at all. It was intended, up to within a few da ysof the opening, that no representatives of the press s h ou ld be allowed to be present , and it is almost a matter of regret that such an arrangement was not adhered to, as it would certainly have been better than the plan pursued on Saturday of placing them in such a position as made it almost impossible for them to' perform their duty. The places allotted to the re porters were in a corner behind those of every other person in the room, and utterly out of sight of the very ceremonial they were expected to describe. From these seats also when the places . had been taken none could stir, so that we are almost entirely in debted to the courtesy of some of the officials who saw her Majesty arrive, and were near her on the dais, for our account of what took place. The places in the Great H a ll were occupied be fore 12 o'clock. Among those present were his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess of Wellington, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl and Countess of Derby and Lady Emma Stanley, Lord Cranworth, Lord Gough, Marquis of Salisbury, Earl of Ellenborough, Bishop of Oxford, Lord John Russell, Lady Hayter, Right Hon.

In attendance were the Countess of Desert, Hon. Misses Cathcart and Byng, L "ds Crofton and Colville, the Hon. Col. Liddell, Hon. Col. Ponsonby and Major Elphinstone. A guard of honour, furnished by the Ist Staffordshire j Militia, received the Royal party with the w eal ceremonies. Upon alighting at the south fron t her Majesty was met by the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Wellington, and the . other governorsivof E the College, with its head maste r, the Rev. E. Benson, M.A. Thus attended, the Royal party at once proceeded to the junior schoolroom, where the boys were still at their tasks, but where, never theless, she was welcom ed with such heary cheers as only boys can give. From this her Majesty was shown through the various class and school rooms, and through the dormitories we have already de_ The railway crrangemcnts, bath of the South- Eastern and South-Western, were excellent, and the Wellington College Station on the latter line is now opened for traffic.

We have been requested to correct an inaccuracy in our statement, that " Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour had been compelled to solicit being super seded in his command owing to his failing health." The Admiral was in excellent health when last heard of; but having had, while on the coast of China, two attacks of fever, he has been advised not to pass a fourth summer in the East ; and he has, therefore, requested that he may be relieved punctually at the expiration of his command (the appointment being ordinarily for three years), which will terminate on the 18th February next. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty : Commander W. N. W. Hewett, V.C. to the Viper, vice Lieut. Hod g ki nson , superse ded on his own request; J. C.
