PITER COOPER's MOsUMEST.-In our paper to-day
will be found the first official notice OF Mr.. Peter
COOpers intention to present the City of New-iork
emilia
any city in this country, perhaps in any other, has
ever received from any private individual. For
two years or more the public has been advised from
time to time through the press, Of the progress of an
immense fire. proof building in the upper part OF the
city. which rIunor sad designed free nstitu-
ton of learning for the city of NowYork. The build
ing is nearly completed, and b one of the most
imposing and durable edifces on the island. II will
cost, with the land At occupies, not less than half @
million Of dollars.
In our advertising columns to-day will be found the
first official evidence that this grand and costly struc
ture is designed by Mr.. Cooper present to his
fellow citizens and those who shall come after them
to be used for the advancement of science and att
II bis intention to apply to the Legislature at the
present session for act of Incorporation authorizing
him TO convey to Board Of Control to be designated
BY the act, such property, real - personal may
be necessary for founding and u3BtGinng in the City
Of Eew-York an institution, TO be denomnated The
UHion for the hdrdnce"lcaf Of Science and Art.'
Such is the title by which Mr. Cooper desires his bene
faction shall be known, and so far rs we may gather
from it his intentions infer that he contemplaes
the founding Of something in the nature of University
This will be the first institution of learning approach
ing to the grade Of university, we believe, ever
founded by private munhcence. Cardinal Wolsey
eIoys the credit Of having established Englands old
est and most eminent institution of learning but he is
DO more entitled to the credit 0f it than Clinton TO the
credit Of digging the Enc Canal to which he
trbutod nothing, far know, from bis private
funds.
Br Coopti on the other hand from the fruits of an
industry which has been wonderfully blessed through
a long and usefu life, has testified his Acknowledge
ments 10 bountifu Providence by establishing in
stiuion of education with capacities for usefulness
which promises in time to be second to other the
globe. For this he has asked no human aid; he has
not sought 10 warp legislation from it, legitimate chan
ncs; be- has coveted no nOtoriety; be has not even
given his name to the institution, but modesty asks
the Legislature to appoint Board of Control to re-
oeive the property and take charge oft.
In the dispensatiOns Of private benehcence whchwe
have witnessed we remember none which have exhb-
tied more loving and impressive recognition of the
inexbaustibe Source Of ali benefceRce Eve. Post.
