Last night was the scene Of another great meet
ing Philip Hone in the chair, usual First came
the report OF the Washington Committee. 1t appears
that on various accounts, the Committee OF Fifty
dwindled down to nne The correspondence ofthese
gentlemen with the President read. Their letter.
describing the state of things in New York and
throughout the country, was spunky and grandllo-
quent and was received with repeated paudlts. The
of the President was cool and explicit. They
demanded repeal of the Treasury Order and sus-
pension of Treasury suits. He said 81 won't do the
one, and I'll think about the other" The merchants
Kissed him.


Resolutions were then reported.


The meeting resolved that all the present distress
is owing to the defeat of DIR. Cay's land bill-the
veto ofthe U. S. Bank-the removal of the depostcs
and the specie circular. That these acts of the Ex
cutive indicated monarchical principles, and demand
cd the prompt and decisive action of every true pa
triot.


The enthusiasm of the meeting found vent in re-
peated cheers.


Isaac Hone then made an Indifferent speech-n
which he insnuated that Martin Van Buren, cared


little for the prosperity of the rich long his mea-
sures were popular with the mass ofthe people Very
singular idea, that


Mr. Bryant then commenced speech, which, SO
far we heard neither profound, wise, witty
when we came away Perhaps hemproved aftei-
wards-there was ample room for it.


We have expressed opinion frequently on the
action of the getters up Of these meetings. Any further
comment is unnecessary. There not the least doubt
that the meeting last night not very friendly to
Van Buren and it is equally evident that those who
took the lead did not understand what they were
about.


OuR CoLLEoE.-The New York University is to be
dedicated next week. We intend TO take it under our
particular patronage. There is revolution going on
in this city, that is to do away with notions Of
wealth, and arsocracy, and exclusveness and every
thing is to be conducted principles Of good taste,
real science and genuine liberality. In this instu
ton, no one will be compelled to follow pursuits for
which nature has not fitted hm-no one will be obi
ged to ritter away his genius studies for which he
has not the slightest talent or inclination.


The doors Of science to be thrown open to ALL
and he who wishes 10 study but one branch of know
ledge can receive dploma for that alone. Thou
sands, who, had they been left to their own
shackled impulses, would have been distinguished in
the records Of fame; have been cramped and crushed
by the common systems of collegiate education.
Our semnaries of learning have been conductedupon
the most absurd principles of mental philosophy.
They have studied out beau ideal of human excel
lence and then tried to bring every mind to their
standard, instead Of taking il as il is and improving
its own natural powers, and taking advantage of its
peculiar predsposl,ions.


OF this, more anon.
