A SECOND UNIVERSITY IN THE METROPOLIS. • TO BE CALLED " KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON." Saturday a Meeting was held at the Freemasens' Tavern, for the purpose of forming a Plan for the Education of the Youth of the Metropolis, and which when carried into execution, is to assume the above :1 The following tire - parts of an official document put forth by the promoters of the 'plan " 1. A College for General Education to be founded on an extensive scale in the' metropolis ; in which, while the various 'branches of Litemture and Science are made the - supject of instrtiction, it shall be an essential part of the system pursued, to in bue the minds Of youth with a know!edge of the Doctrines 'and Duties of Christianity, as inculcated • by the United Chnrch of England and Ireland, to be under . t.jie patronage,of his Majesty, and to be entitled the King's College, London; to be erected on a site as cOnvenint as possible for the attendance' of Day 'Students from all parts of the Metropolis.

It is requested that all persons disposed to pro mote the undertaking will signify their intentions as early as possible to the Rev. Dr. D'Oyly, Lambeth Rectory." At a quarter after twelve the Duke of Wellington entered the room, and took the Chair. We noticed on the platform, in company with his Grace, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of York; the Bishops of London, Carlisle,: Peterborough, Chester, LlanOaff, Winchester, Sodor and Man, Lincoln, Durliam, - Bristol, Ely, &c. &c. ; the. Duke of Rutland, the'Marquis of Camden, the Marquis. of Bristol, the Earl of Harrowby, the Marquis of Bute, Lord Sidmouth, Lord Bexley, Earl Howe, Lord . Ashley, 'the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir C. Flower, Mr. Alderman Thomp son, &c.. &c. The Noble Duke, on entering the room, was loudly . cheered by the company, which was numerous, and appeared highly respectable. The Duke of WELLINGTON then . addressed the Meeting in nearly the following words :—Gentle men, the object of this Meeting, over which I have been_called to preside, is to establish in the Metro polis a College for the Education of . Youth in ali the branches of literature and science, including the doctrines and discipline of Christianity, as inculcat ed by the United Church of England and Ireland. (Cheers.)—Gentlemen, it is. not necessary that I should detain, you by explaining, in detail the plan according to which -it is intended to carry it into execution, as that will be sufficiently explained in the Resolutions that lam about to read to you. It is, however, intended that this plan of education should, give to the youth of the Metropolis a general knowledge, and at the same time to combine with that . a particular knowledge of Christian morality and religion, together with a knowledge of those branches of education which may be necessary for the, particular professions they are destined to pur sue. ' (Applause.) Neither is it .necessary that I should, at this time of day, enter into a discussion to convince you of the propriety of establishing, such an Institution in this , Metropolis. (Hear,. hear.) Though I have not myself had the advantage of a University education, owing. to the particu lar pursuits of life in which I , have been engaged,. (Loud cheers,). yet no one can .be more sensible .than Inin of the advantages of such an education in every pursuit of life—and not only to society in ge neral, but to. the individual himselfi, (Applause.) But. however , convinced I may be of such advan tages, I nevertheless c%not take to myself the credit of having been a leader or original pro moter of the proposition which is now submitted to you. Its, real promoters .are the :Dignitaries and Governdutrfonr Church ; (Loud applause,) they are willing to, sacrifice to its promotion not only their pe cuniary: means in the way of subscription, but the aid of their knowledge, time, and attention, in order to superintend its establishment and future manage .lllent---.(c.;heers.) They call,upen you-to come for ward this day to give them your assistance in carry ing this object into execution.—(Cheers.) Let us come forward—let us make an effort, in a manner worthy of this great country, to enable them to esti-. blish , such a plan as ,may seem to them fit for the. education of the youth of this metropolis—to,eeable that youth to perform their duties to their Sovereign and to their country, in their various situations of life; and above all, to give them a knowledge of God,—(Cheers)—a ' knowledge of the principles, precepts, and examples on which all his doctrines'aie founded.—(Loud cheers) —a knowledge which shall teach them to be' satisfied with their lot in this life, . and give them hope in the mercies. of God for. future one.—(Continued cheering.) Gentlemen, with your permission, I will now read to you the Resolutions which it is intended to . submit to you; and I will afterwards read them to you one by , one, in order to take your sense upon them.—(Applause.) The Archbishop of CANTEnunnY—Gentlemen, I rise to move," That the cordial thanks of this Meet ing be giv * en . .to his . Grace the Duke of Wellington— (loud cheers)—for the great kindness and conde scension which he has evinced in , filling the Chair,: and for the able manner in which he has conducted the business of the Meeting." (Applause.) Under the . patronage of his Majesty, and with the entire concurrence and , sanction of his: Majesty's. Govern , ment, we may look for the success* ofi this under s • taking with. great hope, if not with full confidence. ,(Cheers.) But ~t he magnitude and importanee.of • , ,the;•objeet itself would carry it through to a great , extent, as it, is to instruct the youth of the metropolis • in that religious knowledge which is the foundation and basis of all that is good. (Cheers.) I will -trouble, you no longer, however, .butinerely repeat the great pleasure I feel in r,—ving the: . thahks of this Meeting to his A :,• The Duke of NVELLINON ::.t.L.ILed thanks. The. 4ichbishop of CANTERBURY.infOrMCd ille Meeting that a letter had: been received front Mr. Peel, lamenting 'that a domestic calamity (the death of the Right Hon. Gentleman's sister) took hia'i out of town. The Right 'Him. Gentleman, ito*evet.,: subsequently made his appearance, having travtlied" . up. on purpose from the country, but was too late to take any part in the proceedings,*.the — Noble‘ Duke having left the chair before his arriyal. Some subscriptions were thew announced; and . the Duke of 'Wellington having quitted the room, the Bishop of Chester was called to, the Chair, while further subscriptions were being received. 'The Bishop of CrtitsTErt.—l will take this op, portunity of saying one word in correction of a p ) i s ,. understandihg which seems to have arisen in.the 'room, that-no one but 'members of "the Church of England can be admitted' into this . College. Quite the contrary, however, is 'the case. There will be no question aske4 as to the church-membership of any individual, but at the same time the instruetioil afforded will be specially, such as the Church of England gives to its •members:. (Hear, hear, hear.) Thetis to say, it will trot be necessary that the Young'. people who enter the College: should .be of the • Church of England, but they will have to . submit.to such Zseipline, as a College in close connection with the Church of England will impose. (Applause.) More subscriptions were then announced, and we believe that altogether they amounted to 'about 12;0001., inde pendently of the shares subscribed for.

The whole of the beau monde has been in a state of agitation f 4 some time past, in expectation of the anticipated breakfast, in the gardens of the Horticul tural Society at Chiswick, which was given on Sa turday. A great deal of complaint, it will be re membered, Was made last year,in consequence of the short commons provided for the . guests, and a great deal of "jarring" was the consequence. Mr. Gun ter was, however, selected this year as the purveyor, and throughout last week he had afforded employ ment to half the cooksin. the Metropolis, in the pre paration of the. eatables, as the order bad gone forth that nothing should be wanting. The gardens were not opened.until..two and from that hour until half-past four, when the. carriages ceased setting down, the road from Chis wick, to the London end of Hammersmith, was one closely connected line of splendid vehicles. A large party of police, amounting to 110, were. Hplaced at the approaches of the gardens, under the controul of Plank and Sayer; of Marlborough-street and Bow-street Offices, and' with their aid the strict est Order was preserved in the setting down, &c. of the company, There was an immense assemblage of respectably dressed persons 'at the two entrance gates to the gardens, one . near the high road . to 13rentford, and the other at the private road leading to the Duke of Devonshire's splendid house at Chiswick. The company ,promenaded the walks of the gar dens until about half-past six, during which period the bands of - the' first and second Guards 'played tunes; chiefly of the • Italian Masters, alternately in different parts of the gardens, relieved occasionally by the beautiful and complete quadrille bands of Wieppert, of Dean-streat ; Letolff and Adams; and Mr. Payne; each of which consisted of twenty-five performers. The gardens at this time, the day being extremely fine, presented perhaps the finest spectacle imagin able. There were, at least, 4000, individuals, of the highest rank in the country; proMenading through' the different walks, attired in the most splendid and' fashionable manner, gathering the flowers of every clime and zone, then going into the fruit rooms, of magnificent extent, covered in a .substantial manner, to bid defiance to the rain had-it come. At four o'clock the refreshment rooms were opened, and . here the most pleasing part of the scene commenced; every variety that nature and art could afford to provoke and satisfy the appetite was provided in so ample a manner and abundance, that' all were satisfied. The amusements were, first, the promenading ; after which succeeded- dancing on the lawn in the Tyrolese fashion, the Tyrolese family of the Rayners being specially engaged for the purpose. A series ; quadrille (lancing coiti on the lawn : th e l a tt er of catches and glees. were th t e h n en g t i h ve e n di b n y ne t r he oc fizt . mep a tni performers oened; iann the oe e s c m or fo e t . wt r won p e o las l ,l i el s , amusement was kept up unremittingly until half past eight o'clock, when the company began to 'de part for town. • To enumerate the distinguished persons preient would be. to transcribe the greater part of Debrett's Peerage: among those noticed by our Reporter were their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, Prince Loopold,lbe Dukes of Gloucester, Sussex, end-Cumberland—the latter accompanied by two Ladies; Prince Polignac, Puckler 3luskaw, Felix, Schwartzenburgh ; the Dukee de Riche • lieu, Wellington, Dorset, St. Albans ; the Dachessaa of Montrose, Dowager Richmond, 'St. Albans, Wellington; the Marquises Donegal, Wellesley, Thomond, Riaria ; Marchionesses Wellesley, Winchester,rDonegal, Londonderry, Emily of Londonderry, Salisbury; Lards Verulam, Kenyon, Stourton, Clifford, Normanby, Castle, reagb, Clonmel, Wicklow, Denbigh, Durham, Kensington, Stauly ; George Benti ne k, A st ley,' Valletort, Bingham, Chichester, Ellenhorough, Selsey, Ingestrie, Clare, Kin poll], &c. &c. The arrangements Made for the accommodation o. this splendid list of fashionables, were of the n.l.)si sumptuous and costly description. All appeared satisfied, and there can be, no doubt that the day will forni•an,era in the annals of . fashionable arnuse• ments. • • • • „ AN ECCENTRIC HATTER.—A short tape since,' the following curious incident occurred at the Red Barn, Polstead. A person from a distaice, a hatter, cattle to see the Red Barn, and not finding any one there at the time, proceeded leisurely to examine the interior. Af ter in the same position in which he had imagined remaining some little time he resolved to lay himself down been laid. Me had scarcely done this, when a when the hatter, hearing foot steps scampered up from the grave. n t t t l it i A - g r i a i v d e, lady and gentleman entered the barn, and not seeing or bearing any one, were gently approaching the grave, and t sg o tael t is h ng e aP n ePa o rrl sr: el : im t u e p rr mo o end r ija a t n ie d astonishment of the lady and gentleman ; the former of whom was near fainting from the suddenness of the surprise, and who doubtless thought .fut the moment that Ma sta'.l ghost was making its appearance.

An important motion stands for this day in the House of Commons. Mr. M.. A. .Taylor having some time ago procured an orders for a , return of all gums of money paid by the Commissioners for arbi trating claims on France to . fhe Ccithmissioners of 'Woods and Forests; qtatingby'whatauthrity paid, for Ivhat purposes,' and at:WhaF-kkites, gave notice of his resolution to Move titistidy . for a vote of cen sure for, what he conceives, and with manifest rea son, to i'lnisappliCatiOn of the public money, and i'breaCh Of Public trust. A large sum, to the amount; we'believe, of mote than .5,000,000/. ster- ling, was, under one ormore conventions between 'the British and French Governments;transferred to Great Britain by the Court of-France, as a fund out - - - - - of Which to liqUidate the . claims of Biltish subjects on the latter power. • 'A Board of Commissioners, it is well known, was appointed for the adjudication of such claims; in the execution or supposed execu tion'of which duty, these i lentlemen continued for tWelve, years, as we are Informed,' - receiving very ample salaries. It must seem clear to everyone who understands the rights and duties of the House of Commons, that whatever sums of money remain in the Treasury, beyond the exigencies of the parti cular service to which they have hy law been appro priated, ought to be at once submitted to the cogni zance and control of Parliament, and the further application of such surplus be determined by Parlia ment alone. Now it appears by the return..to the order above-mentioned, that from the balance in the hands -of the . British-claim Corntnissioners, the ' enormous sum of 250,000/. was,' instead of being credited to the nation, paid over to the Commis sioners of Woods and Forests, expressly for the discharge of tradesmen's bills employed in the wells at the King's new Palace in St. James's-park r This transfer, in the teeth of law and usage, from:the domi nion'of Parliament to the menials of the palace, and by the sole 'fiat of the King's Prime Minister ; will we presnme, according to the result ,of thedebate on Mr: Tajlor's miatiOn, bring once more to the teat the dogma -of ministerial responsibility. That not a single individual wid be made responsible that is to say, practically, for such a transgression, it would be superfleous to add. But it may amuse us to watch the shifts and contrivances through which the remedy provided by the letter of the Constitu tion is to be got rid of. ,In the mean time what ag gravates this offence beyond expression is that while the appetite for waste and extravagance has been thus pampered, the British subjects for whose be nefit the whole Itind was created appear in some cases to have suffered injustice from the Commis sioners, by the rejection of their well-founded claims. The petition of Baron de Bode is now before us, a quotation from which is here subjoined, and will satisfy, we think, the minds.of most readers, as to •the motive whence it comes to pass, that unsightly palaces are to absorb immense sums, while just cre ditors go unpaid. " The summary of the case, that my right as a British subject, to recover indemnification for the loss of my pro perty within the limits of France, during, and in conse quence of the French revolution, under the convention of 1815, was admitted by the British and the French Go vernment ; that myself and my case were reOztirpended by the British Ambassador to the English Commissioners, who insisted upon my right, without which the French Com- Missioners would not have allowed of the admission of my name into the registers, as the consequence was to be the payment of so large a sum of money on my account by the country whose interests they were bound in duty to pro tect ;- that the British Government, in consideration, of such allowance,' released the French Government from and in, dem sified it against any future demand from me on ac count of my lost property ; that subsequently, by an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdtim, commissioners were empowered to examine and deter Mine the amount due to registered claimants, but not to call in question their right if claiming, which had already been admitted by the i n t er est e d party, the French . Government, which had paid a large sum of money on that account ; that in my case, such, examination has not taken place,—such investigation has not been made; but, on the contrary, when the English commissioners had removed to London, and had the whole control in the settlement of the claims, and France hash allowed the hinds, and the British Treasury had become interested in the surplus, then my right of claiming at all is totally denied : and this by the vary same parties through, whose representations and exertions the French Government bad been compelled to make the allowance for that claim. That the award made against me was made an mis construction of some of the vouchers, in the absence of the most essential evidence, and on a statement represented to form part of a dced which was struck out before it was signed. " An award made on such grounds cannot on any ground of common sense or justice, or any sound reasoning, be al lowed to stand good, whatever legal technicalities it may have to support it. It will be perhaps observed, why were these statements not made at the appeal. I have already mentioned the reasons that actuated my counsel to adopt the course they have taken, though contrary to my feeling on the subject, and my having been refuwi to make those observations myself, on my petition far a re-hearing. Th e course my counsel have taken, was one of my principal rea sons of complaint, - and the grounds in support of petitioning for a re-hearing; is it not an evory-day practice in other courts, to grant-re-hearings or new trials where justicv has, not been duly administered, or where a suit has been lot in consequence of the mismanagement of it by counsel ? :And am I, because say counsel has taken a wrong view of my case, to lose my property? Is Government to tali advantage of such an incident, contrary to the spirit and intentions of the treaties and conventions, and thereby be-. nefit the nation at my 'expense, to my total ruin ? "The French Government, who was the party paying, has not taken any technical advaistagee to injure the inte rests of the British claimants, and therefore why should. the English Government do so? The French Goveras meat has acted honourably throughout in this Liminess, in the spirit and sense of the treaty of 1814, and convention of 1815, viz. to indemnify British subjects fex the .oases they had sustained in France, during, area in consequence of, the,revolution. " The consequence is, that between two powerful Go vernments, both of which acknowledged at the outset sty right to indemnification s I shall he deprived of all remedy ; although that Qovernment which seized and confiscated my property. makes . an allowance for it, which the other aoeetionett, in the nature of a trustee for me, actually re ceiVes.. " I had always understood it to be a fundamental pre_ rogative of the subjects of this realm, which every English - mansiuheritaoat his birth, to have his grievances investi gated and redressed ;—that in this happy. country, for every wrung there is a remedy. I hope that at last in my case this will be verified. " I beg to call the attention of the Honourable Mem bers to this circumstance, that mine is by no. 'nails a party question : it is only, whether an investigation of the Case of an unfortunate individual ought to be granted, tok escertaiu whether he has or has not been deprived illegally • m o tu f ee t n h ta e o f eno u w o l d : s i a iat il ec o eco w tuo e n d lt ! n iy ve t s h ti e ga fte te nmehytec:h,e EanndgllishshGouolsd,erbne.. " I understand that if the House should consent to grant .found entitled to .the indemnification. I claim, a difficulty might arise as to how and oitt of what funds I could be in demnified ; but surely it is impossible, that for such a reason, the House will refuse to afford me the only chance I have left of obtaining justice. But I humbly submit, that the Commissioners have acknowledged that there remains in their bands a large surplus, out of which, if my case be as I repre sent it, my claim may be satisfied. But should another diffis culty be suggested—naraely, that the Hon. House has nopower over that surplat o; other funds alluded to,—then I humbly , submit, that as ;lie surplus, according to the Act of Par liament of the 50th of Geo. 111. will he at the disposal of the Lords of his Majesty's Treasury, and consequently ap- Plietible to the use of the British nation, tote House mi g h t grant to use, try' vote, a sum of money equiValent to what the British Treasury has gained on account of the rejection of my claini. Though the sum due So me is a large fortune for an individual, yet, in relation to a nation, if is incon siderable; and I will venture to say, that there is not an individual in these realms whp would not feel indignant at ratlealcildaegfreeello,wby sathe bp tr t i, i g o a n tno b d e it n ths e u fi so t w iz i , asu l i s so e en i i t ,ngth in eh a ies i n a tt r oi g trae e l o rf r uoir a ttiu. s " Besides, should the surplus fund remaining in the hands of, the Commissioners not be sufficient to satisfy m y claim, surely tte sum or sums which hive lately been discovered by the Finance Committee to have been appro . .priased out of the funds paid by France to indemnity the registered British, claimants under the convention of 18 l b, to other piirposes . than they were intended for,, as well as the funds. distributed. contrary to the convention of 1 s tss and. 1818, and the 59th of George 111., c. 81, to the sup. plerueutari claimants, they trot being acknowledged by 14511 6 ‘10" : ,
