EANSTEREONIACHIA.—Mr. CHAS. BULLOCK
respectfully informs his Fiierds and the Public, that his
al Highness the Duke of York haring graciously granted per-
mission to the Young Gentlemen of the Military Asylum to vi.it
the Exhibition of the Battle of roictiers. now open at the spacious
Room, No. 2U9. Regent-street, This Day, 23d of June, it will
he impossible to admit any other parties until To-murrow, when it
will again be open to the Public. .

UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.—A detailed Prospec-
ms off the objects proposed to be atriined by the University
of London having been circulated, the Council think it right to
make the following further statement.
They will commence the Building u soon as deposits shall have
been paid upon a capital of 150,000 t, comprising 1,500 Shares of
1001. each ; and, as the contracts and working plans cannot be
ready before the month of August, they arc confident that such
capital will he secured before that time, on the present situation of
the Insthution being made known.
. rfhe state of the Subscription is as follows :--Dc• obits of 2il.
have been actually paid at the banker's upon 1,062 shares ; in addl.
nun In which 20 shares have been subscribed for, upon which the
deposits are secure, ant' in course of payment; thus making up.
wards at 1,320 shares already subscribed.
The expense of the entire building. as designed by Mr. Wilkins,
is estimated at 87.000/. ; but as it may probably be expedient to
proceec gradually towards its completion, a portion,. sufficient for
the first purposes of the Institution, may be finished for 30.000 f. ;
or the centre, with • part of each wing, forming at once a perfect
and symmetrical building, for 50,0004 ; and the Council will pro-
ceed on either of these plans, as the state of their funds will
admit. With this, the payment tor the land, the founding of •
Library and 51useuni, and other incidental expenses, the first cost
of opefling the l'niver.ity can scarcely he estimated at leas than
from 110,000/. to 100,000/. Thus 180 additional subscriptions, ob-
tained before the month of August, will enable the Council to
effect all that in the first instance they propose.
The Council anxiously anticipate the period when they will have
to'etudder, not themeans, but only the manner, of accomplishing this
isnportart undertaking; they therefore confidently call for further
asalstance from the many who are interested In the success of the
Institution ; from three who think the system of Collegiate Educa-
tion *pen to improvement t from those who are excluded from it
by their religious sentiments, or by limited income; from the
great mass of official, commercial, and professional residents in
this :own ; from those who wish to endow their sons with legal,
medical. or other science ;—in short, from all of every class, who,
for themselves or others, have appreciated the value, or lamented
the want, of liberal instruction.
