YALE COLLEGE.

We are sorry to learn that a serious misunderstanding has arisen between the Principals of this respectable institution and a portion of the pupils, which has resulted in open rupture, and the withdrawal of nearly one third of the scholars. The circumstances of this unfortunate occurrence, we hear, were these: The scholars had become dissatisfied with their fare at commons, and several times petitioned for an improvement. At length some of them refused any longer to partake, and in violation of the rules, withdrew from the publick table. Four of these delinquents were expelled. This being deemed an act of injustice, a remonstrance was got up and signed by one hundred and forty-four of the scholars, demanding the re-instatement of their fellows, and threatening in case of refusal to withdraw in a body from the College. The Faculty could not, without a relaxation of their laws, comply with this demand, and the resolution of the scholars was carried into effect on Saturday. About forty of them arrived here yesterday morning on their way to their homes. A good deal of excitement prevails at New Haven on this subject.
