CHARWER OF THE LONDON
UNIVERSITY.
(Copy.)
Whitehall, Dec. 1, 1836.
My LORD-I have the honour to transmit to your Lord-
ship the Charter of the University of London.
His Majesty has been pleased to approve of the appoint-
ment of your Lordship as Chancellor, and of Mr. Lubbock
as the first Vice-Chancellor, of the University.
I feel confident that it is not necessary to recommend to
your Lordship either a zealous attention to the interests of
learning, or a constant regard to those principles of religious
freedom, which have furnished motives for the Royal grant.
I have no less reliance on the distinguished men who are
associated with yourself and Mr. Lubbock in the govern-
ment of the University.
You may be assured that on my part also I shall esteem
it an honour to co-operate in the advancement of an In-
stitution destined to confer the distinctions justly due to
proficiency in literature, science, or art, without imposing a
test of religious opinions, or binding by the fetters of the
seventeeth century the talent and merit of the present en-
lightened age.
I have the honour to be, my Lord,
Your obedient, humble servant,
(Signed) J. RUSSELL.
The Earl of Burlington, &c. &c. &C.

ment as Chancellor of the University of London. I am
fully aware of the important duties confided to me, and the
distinguished men with whom I have the honour to be as-
sociated in the government of the University, and you may
be assured 1 shall have a constant regard to those princi-
ples of religious freedom to which you have particularly di-
rected my attention.—l have, &c.

secute or complete their studies, both in the metro-
polis and in the other parts of our United Kingdom, to

facilities, and on whom it is just that there should be
conferred such distinctions and rewards as may incline them
to persevere in these their laudable pursuits. Now know

such examination the candidates shall be examined in as
many branches of general knowledge as the said Chan-

most fitting subjects of such examination. And whereas it
is expedient to extend the benefits of colleges and establish-
ments already instituted, or which may be hereafter insti-

whether incorporated or not incorporated, by connecting
them for such purposes with the University created by this
our royal charter. We do hereby further will and ordain

port to one of our principal Secretaries of State, what
appear to them to be the medical institutions and
schools, whether corporate or unincorporated, in this our
metropolis, or in other parts of our United Kingdom,
from which, either singly or jointly with other medical in-
stitutions and schools in the country, or in foreign parts, it
may be fit and expedient, in the judgment of the said
Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, and Fellows, to admit candi-
dates for medical degrees, and on approval of such report
by our said Secretary of State, shall admit all persons as
candidates for the respective degrees of Bachelor of Medicine
and Doctor of Medicine, to be conferred by the said Uni-
versity, on presenting to the said Chancellor, Vice Chan-
cellor, and Fellows, a certificate from any such institution

a❑d that such reasonable fees shall be charged for the de-
grees so conferred as the said Chancellor, Vice Chancellor,
and Fellows, with the approbation of the Commissioners of
our Treasury, shall from time to time direct ; and such fees
shall be carried to one general fund for the payment of the
expenses of the said University, under the directions and
regulations of the Commissioners of our Treasury, to whom
the accounts of income and expenditure of the said Univer-
sity- shall once in every year be submitted, which accounts
shall be subject to such examination and audit as the said
Commissioners may direct.
That at the conclusion of every examination •f the candi-
dates, the examiners shall declare the name of every candi-
date whom they shall have deemed to be entitled to any of
the said degrees, and the departments of knowledge in which
his proficiency shall have been evinced, and also his profi-
ciency in relation to that of other candidates, and he shall
receive from the said Chancellor a certificate, under the
seal of the said University of London, and signed by the
said Chancellor, in which the particulars so declared shall
be stated.

Provided always, that all by-laws and regulations made
from time to time touching the examination of candidates,
and granting of degrees, shall be submitted for the consi-
deration of one of our principal Secretaries of State, to be
approved of by him.
And lastly, we do hereby for us, our heirs and succes-
sors, grant and declare that these our letters patent, or the
enrolment or exemplification thereof, shall be in and by all
things valid and effectual in law, according to the true in-
tent and meaning of the same, and shall be construed and

THE DUCHESS DE LA VALLIERE.—We observe
with pleasure that Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlborough-
street, has announced for re-publication, on Wednesday
nest, the Countess de Genlis's charming romance of the
Duchess de la Valliere," which forms the subject of Mr.
Bulwer's forthcoming drama. 'The edition, which is in two
volumes, will comprise also the equally beautiful story of
" Madame de Maintenon," by the same writer, which forms
a necessary companion to that of " la Valliere."
There is an advertisement in our columns this day,
arnouncing a sale by auction of a considerable lot of
cattle, which, we understand, have journeyed by land direct
from the most Northern part of Scotland. We believe
the breed of that remote quarter has long stood high in
character with the English grazier. This is the day of no-
velties, and there is certainly something bold in bringing
cattle a journey of about 800 miles to be sold by auction in
London. We doubt not that this sale merits the attention
of, and will excite an interest among, our graziers, breeders,
and farming connoisseurs ; and we anticipate a large at-
tendance of such, and no small competition for these little
Scots Highlanders.
