KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON.

The front elevation of this truly national Insti-
tution, which we have this day the gratification of
presenting to our readers, is deserving of admiration
for its noble simplicity. It has features of solidity,
as well as harmony, about it, which, we cannot
doubt, will hereafter prove analogous with the qua-
lities of its scholastic character.

The main building (the front of which faces the
west, and is rather more than three hundred feet in
length) will stand upon the same ground level with
the Strand. In order to accomplish this, a lofty
substructure is raising, of which the portion imme-
diately beneath the front sliewri in our plan will be
appropriated to the purposes of the Institution, and
contain a series of spacious accommodations for the
students of the high school, or lower department, as
it is called; as well as certain rooms connected with
the College, or higher department. Among the
former will be one school-room seventy-two feet long
and fifty-two feet broad, and another, sixty by ran her
mere than thirty feet ; besides convenient class-rooms,
refreshment-rooms, offices, &c. These form the
basement, above which is the ground floor, where
are the various entrances to the higher depart-
ment, as seen in the annexed plan. This floor will
comprise eight lecture-rooms (the largest being about
sixty by forty feet) ; attached to which are as many
apartments for the use of the Professors—a hall for
public examinations, &c. above severity feet long—
a noble public hall of entrance, and an entrance to
the lecture rooms for the students; and, adjoining
the southern extremity of the front, but turn ng im-
mediately westwards and facing the Thames, the
ground floor of the principal's residence, the erection
of which will complete the eastern wing of Somer-
set House. The first floor will contain the chapel,

of the same dimensions as the hall for examinations;,,
&c., calculated for the accommodation of nearly ono'
thousand auditors; two excellent lecture-roomi,
with private rooms attached; fourteen apartments,
of suitable size, for scientific collections, museums,
libraries, &c. The second floor is also susceptible
of being applied to various purposes, which, so far
as we can learn, will not receive any specific appro-
priation until experience shall show in what man-
lier it can be most beneficially applied.

We understand that the halls and rooms for the
lower department, on the basement floor, are amply
sufficient for the accommodation of between four
and five hundred pupils; and that those for the
higher department will afford space for the conve
nient reception of two thousand students. It is
confidently calculated, as we gathered from the. R-
eport read at the Annual Meeting on the 30th ult
that both of these departments will be opened in
the autumn of the ensuing year; though hopes are
entertained that the high school may be ready at a
somewhat earlier period.
As all access from the quadrangle of Somerset
House will be closed, a separate entrance to the.
College will be formed across the site of the two
houses recently pulled down, and facing the" New
Church in the Strand.

In giving the public a correct sketch of the front
elevation of the College, we have endeavoured to
convey as full information, with respect to its in- ,
ternal arrangements, as we have been enabled to
collect from the ground plans and other sources of '
information. Whether these lust shall be tont-
pleted, to the full extent contemplated, is a question:
which, we hope, arid feel confident, will be speedily
determined by the liberality of our fellow-co unto
men ; on every class of whom, from the Monarch
to the humblest citizen, such an institution as the
present possesses claims of no ordinary magnitude,
and of no transient insportance. May its founders
live to reap their reward—" encouraged by the
sight of that public benefit which will accrue to all
mankind, and chiefly to our nation, by its founda-
tion r —Abraham Cowley's proposition for a " Phi-
losophical College" at London. Vide his works.

We have but a short supply of English Wheat here to.
day ; but the arrivals o' Foreign, since this day week, • •
have been large ; the business done was chiefly confined to
consumers, and last week's prices scarcely supported, even
for best qualities, but the transactions np to the close of
the market have been trilling, and we make no alteration
in our quotations. There is little Barley offering, • and
fine qualities would have obtained the prices of last week.
Old Beans are dull sale, and rather cheaper ; the best samples
of new Barley maintain their value. Oats are dull sale,
but not lower; very few English Oats now appear. In
Linseed and Rapeseed there is no alteration.
