LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1854.

Lord GRANVILLE is one of those fortunate poli-
ticians who contrive to keep on good terms with all
men, and both sides seem to concert in bearing tes-
timony to his gracious demeanour and universal
suavity. In the storm of debate he is ever careful
in his expressions, and so times his replies as to ex-
cite no bit tar feeling and wound no prejudices. Of
course, in a more genial sphere, and among an
auditory who meet for a common object and are
united in their sentiments, ho can appear to
more ad vantegC
.and meet with no opposition to
his benevolent wishes and cordial sympathies. On
Wednesday he presided at a meeting at Burlington
House for the purpose of awarding certificates and
medals to those who had passed with honours at
th© University of Loneol• His lordship, who Wore
his robes as Chancellor, informed the meeting that,
in order to be present among them, he had obtained
permission from the QUEEN t) absent himself from
Court. In treating of the various subjects which
appertained to his theme, his lordship expressed his
satisfaction that they had eons/ ived to retain among
them those principles of a liberal and comprehen-
sive character which had always distinguished that
University. It is a great proof of the necessity of
establishing some institutions of this extended class
that so much support and patronage is always
accorded to it. Doubtless, some exclusive rules and
regulations are necessary in certain quarters, and
may be productive of great benefit in effecting the
objects in view, but still it is highly requisite that
some establishments should exist in which a more
impartial rule should held sway and rein para.
mount as its guiding influence and informing prin.
41e. Lord GiLkNYILLE had the proud task of
commenting upon the vast improvement that had
taken place in the condition and prospect of the
Ursisersity of late ;ears. There were nearly double
the number of candidates in 1863 to what there
were in 1857. This increase is not owing to any
faci:itiea afforded by the examination, for that
has been still more extended, and of a more
searching character. Everyone knows that a man
of experience in public speaking, still more a
fluent orator and an accomplished debater, can at
all times, and in all places, make a good ease out of
very little, and with ingenious description and
dexterous management may impart a very animated
