that a College or University, reared by
those who are opposed to the established
church, is about going into operation IN
London In order TO prevent it from
becoming sectarisn-as dissenters of
various sects are united in it-relIgion
By its constitution, very unwisely as we
think, is entirely excluded -rhe church
party IT seems, are raliying their strength
TO rear another College in the metropo-
lis, probably in opposition to the one
Just mentioned.
A meeting was held pm the 2lst at the
Free masou's Tavern, TO consider the
mean of establishing a new College in
the metropolis, under the control of the
Established Church. which was nuner-
ously attended. His Grace the Duke
of Wellington was in the chair, and was
surrounded by the Arcbbisbops of Can
terbury, York, the Prina,e of Ireland,
the Bishops Of London, Durham, Lao
dali, Bath and Wells, Chester, Lltcii-
field and Coventry, sc. &c, and most
of the principal of the nobility. They
were hailed on their entrance into the
rooms with loud cheering.
The Duke Of Wellington briefly adj
dressed the meeting in ex, 'lanation ofthe
objects for which the meeting had as.
sembled. His Grace SAID it was neces

without religious instruction combined,
was worse than useless His grece then
declared his appreciation of the princi.

cheers
Several resolutions were then adopted
unanimously, laying down the necessity
for the College, the broad principles CD
which it should be conducted, and ap-

of the first names in the country, to con
