The PITT Club Dinner went off' yesterday
pretty m'ich as it has done of late years, that is
to say, with a decent and becoming conviviality,
but without any of that high-toned enthusiastic
spirit, by which its Anniversary used to be cha-
! racterised, when the Ultra Tories were omni-
potent, and Lord ELDON was their favourite
Minister. The fact is, the phrase " PITT prin-
ciples" has no longer any meaning. Recent
events have wholly changed the aspect of the
political hemisphere, and those who henceforth
desire to stand well with the world, and be num-
bered among its illustrious names, must march side
by side with it, and legislate for it, not with a
view to the past, but the future. We do not
however blame the Ultras, they have been
doubtless serious in their unflinching opposition
to the welfare of society, but cannot now fail
to perceive, first, that their dynasty is at
an end ; secondly, that for the last eight
or ten years they have wholly misunderstood
the character and complexion cf the times.
The great art of a politician—of one at least
who wishes to be remembered long after he is
himself a clod of earth—is a facility of adapta-
tion; a power of mixing himself up, and identify-
ing his interests with those of the community at
large ; of existing apparently for them and with
them; and above all, of fashioning his political
prejudices out of hints furnished him. by the
world in which he " lives, moves, and has his
being." This faculty the rump of the old
Tories never. yet possessed. Their public
existence has always had a yetrospective ten-
dency.; they have been less solicitous to think
with the world, than to make, the world think
with them; and would have wound a chain
about Thought itself, had not " the chartered
libertine" escaped their subtlest efforts. The
consequence has been a confirmation, in its most
literal sense, of the old adage. When two great
parties array themselves in hostility against each
other, the weakest, as a matter of course, goes to
the wall ; hence the intellect of the age has con-
quered, and the Ultra Tories have been compelled
to confine themselves to annual orations at PITT
Club Dinners.

The following notice, savouring little of that
spirit of liberality which might have been ex-
pected from the Council of the London Univer-
sity, was yesterday posted up at the gate, placed
across the line of Gower-street. That it may
be expedient and ever proper for them to assert
their right of stopping up the foot-way in front
of their University (if they have such a right),
we will not dispute; but surely the Council of the
London University should have taken care that
in the assertion of that right, a style of Ultra ex-
pression was not adopted by any of their servants.
It is impossible to believe that this advertisement
could have emanated directly from them ; but if
they suffer it to continue, they will have to
bear the blame of having adopted it :

" BY PERMISSION
Of the Trustees of the University of London, this foot-
path, being their private right of way, is, fur the cony&
nience of the neighliourhood, allowed to be used by the
public during the pleasure of the Council, subject to such
regulations for opening or closing the gate as the Couneil
may from time to time establish.
"By order, T. COATES, Clerk to the Council."
As a body, resting their strongest claim for
support oil the good feeling of the public, they
ought, besides, to take care that the assertion of
their right is made with as little inconvenience as
possible to that public, who, having been for
years accustomed to enjoy a pathway across the
grounds lying between Gower-street and the
New-road, will feel somewhat annoyed at the
interruption. For the mere purpose of asserting
a legal right, the stoppage of the pathway for a
single hour, in any one day of the year, would be
sufficient.

There has not been a single arrival at any of
he Government Offices this morning.

Baron BULOW had a long conference this
morning with the Earl of ABERDEEN, at the
Foreign Office.
