Dr. LARDNER having been called on, after retli;
ing thanks on the part of the University, abseil
that its conductors had no connexion with any rot.
tics' party whatever in this country; they were n

identified with the peculiar opinions of any set i,

could only claim the credit of being humble but see;

their main object was the spread of sound kri°w°
ledge and information in this country. With the
spect to religion, the object of the supporters„, d t
as fur
es
London University was to endeavour,
possibly could, consistently with the principles •°de
which the establishment was founded, to Preview
appropriate means of religious instruction f" f
pupils. In the University of Dublin, pupil` ° oil
religious persuasions were admissible upon No,
terms, and there was no restriction or hindisaceer
account of religion in taking degrees, with the
no
ception of doctors' degrees. There could be 1.121
reason why a system that had been found succelebe
in the case of the Dublin University, should netier
acted upon here. In conjunction with the
O
professors of the London University, he bad rs
vowed to devise a plan of religious instructless;
which, he was happy to say, was now pretty
completion, snd which he trusted would be fe,'"ea
calculated to satisfy all parties. He was authoriso
to say, that it was intended to establish a here,
in connexion with the University, wte're
system of residence would be adopted, and oeted
ligious education of the pupils would be condllieeol
upon the same principles of discipline as at t of
and Cambridge. There was to be a Chto'hes
England chapel in the college, but the other bran the
of the pupils' education would be conducted at
the
London University. The plan had receivea,lbe
warm approbation of many of the supporter§ 01
