HAMBURG'', Nov. 15, 1838.
0 UR Friends, and all those who may have to write
to us, are requested to be particular in directing,
HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH,
and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage
only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
10/., •20/., or 30/., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng-
land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in
two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham-
borrh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive
Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when-
ev,.r possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England,
Aurpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may
rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London.
To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our
Corospondents not to overlook these particulars.
HEINE BROTHERS.

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 12, 1836.

In another column will be found the Charter of the
London University, a document which will be perused
with considerable interest. The names of the Chan-
cellor, Vice-Chancellor, and Fellows (who constitute
the privileged body, or corporation), are, upon the
whole, entitled to public respect and confidence. It
was, we believe, generally understood that Lord
En.o trc it Am-, who may be considered as the founder
of the University, would have been its first Chancellor.
We therefore presume that this honour has been offered
to him and declined, as we find his Lordship appointed
one of the Fellows. Next to Lord BROUGHAM, the
Earl of BURLINGTON possesses the strongest claim
to the Chancellorship. The Noble Earl was senior
wrangler at Cambridge, unites the highest scientific
attainments to the highest rank, and is, in our opinion,
still more nobly distinguished by his liberal principles.
Mr. L unnoc lc, the Vice-Chancellor, is a Vice-Pre-
sident to the Royal Society, and one of the first mathe-
maticians of the age. The Fellows are, with one or
two exceptions, men distinguished for their literary or
scientific acquirements. It might seem invidious per-
haps to mention these exceptions more particularly,
and therefore we shall let the matter drop.
The University of London has received the privi-
lege of conferring the degrees of Bachelor of Arts,
Master of Arts, Bachelor of Laws, Doctor of Laws,
Bachelor of Medicine, and Doctor of Medicine, and
these degrees are not confined to candidates who have
pursued their studies within what may be called the
locality of the University. This, indeed, is the grand
point in which the new Institution differs from, and
surpasses, all other Universities hitherto established.
It extends its advantages to all seminaries of learning
in the United Kingdom, in which such a course of in-
struction as shall be approved of by the University is
carried on ; and as regards Medicine, even foreign
t.in-
stitutions are not excluded from these advantages.
All that a candidate is required to do, in order to en-
himself for examination, with the
title him to submit
Degree from the University of
view of obtaining a
London, is to produce a certificate from the school
where he has studied, stating that he has completed
the course of study prescribed by the University.
This, it must be allowed, is an immense stride in
liberality, when the exclusive spirit of the old Estab-
lishments is taken into consideration.
We are extremely sorry, however, to perceive that
the instrument conferring the Degree, though
to be
given under the seal of the University, is termed in
the Charter a Certificate. Why is this ? Why is
the word Diploma, which is the proper, and hitherto
the only one used in such cases, rejected ? Has the
influence of the old monopolists been at work to get
an inferior stamp set upon the new article ? We are
sadly afraid this will be found to be the truth. The
alumni of Oxford and Cambridge will have the satis-
faction of crowing over those of the new University.
" You," they will say, " art graduates to be sure ill
a certain sense—in virtue of a paltry Certificate—we
have a Diploma—stand by,"

The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Sa•
turtlay have been received. Their contents are not oi
much political importance. In the Moniteur of Sa•
turday,
we find the following official communications :
4‘ TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH.

" BAYONNE, DEc. 5. 4 P,M.—Letters from Durango of
the 3d bring no fresh intelligence from Bilboa. Those
from. the camp of Espartero do not expect an attack be-
fore the sth. Irrebaren attacked on the 2d at Cintrue-
nijo the rear-guard of Cabrera, and captured a few men
and some horses.
