LONDON UNIVERSITY.
Ni. BROUGHAM said, that having received an
intimation from an authority to which be was alays
ready to bow, that the Bill for establishing an Univer-
sity in London was rather of a private than a public
nature, he should therefore move to discharge the
order for the second reading on Monday next, and
Should be ready to present a Petition for taking it up
in the shape of a Private Bill, on Tuesday. To otitiate
a great deal of misrepresentation which had got abroad'o
be would take this opportunity of stating, that the ob-
ject of the Bill was to incorporate certain persons, in
prder to enable them to sue and be sued by one of their
Officers, and to hold lands to a certain limited amount ;
but it was not the intention to apply for any exclusive
privileges whatever, neither would it in any shape in=
terfere with the privileges of either University, He
spoke from the highest authority, when he stated that
the expenses of the Universities were increasing to a
great extent ; and as it was felt to be an evil, great
pains were taking to remedy it. Great improvements
bad certainly taken place at both Universities, and a
better education might now be had at-both places than
used to be had at either. The object, then, of this Bill•
was, to bring home to the middling class of persons'
the means of-education. The expenses of attending
three classes in the proposed Establishment would not
exceed 10i. a year. It was intended to have the best
Professors, who were not to be allowed to take scho-
lars, or that they would mainly rely (as the salaries
yauld be small) on the number of pupils attending
their classes. There would be one exception to this,
and that was in the Oriental languages, on account of
the small number of scholars. One object waste found
a good Medical School, which could only be effected
where- there were large Hospitals. Cue would be
taken to permit no tests to be established, so that no-
class of Dissenters would be excluded. The Govern-
meat was to be to * Chancellor or Vice-Cbaacellor, and nineteen
other Okamoto.
Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said, the pest expense of the Univer-
sities wasoolely ant abatable to the gay and estraveZ of meats. .
