It must no* doubt be a 'matter for'surprise to strangers who visit: ur from time to time, .and.who are familiar .with Dunedin and 'CnristcnurchV'that 'there 'doesL not' yet1 exist here an' institution of the same educa. | tional rank which is m full working order in botn of those towns, i.e., a University College. Ii does~nolf seeni, however, to1 trouble us, and the cause of its non-exist ence and- the^ absence, of a sense ot its necessity must be sought for in ourselves. The'lSxp'riJjkion 6f:opinib'n'given by Wine of our leading merchants jt tho inquiry lately held in connection with the College and; jGramrnar School, appears. to furnish,a clue to this mystery. They stated in effect that the need did not exist, that a' school in which' youths were trained toj become good business men ( was, all that we' (Auckland1 people)' required.!" 'Surely, ifj they are not misrepresented, this is a monstrous libel on tho community. 1 hey! doubtless were so far honest in the opinion, but do they, can they,: represent the opinion of the educated portion of the' community.?-'. Itsff, thenithe absence ofsuch an institution need not be a matter for sur-j prise any more, and the true cause of that' absence should be frankly and distinctly; acknowledged. There can bo no. doubt that this was their meaning, for the New! Zealand..^Herald " in an article, warMly applauded them, and in a manner; Baul;': I til These; /are i just, :our j sentiments." It may be that in their minds a good busi ness man is the acme of human perfection. If so, it may be-necessary to define our terms. We cannot accuse these men of ignorance, in the ordinary sense of the term »i-their: circumstances^ forbid Hit.- "ißut 'to them the promised land which, higher! mental 'cultu'r'e'opsna up^is' a'raytnj their* pursuit, .ol.happiness .is. idealized in one maxim, " make money,1' and possibly, per-' haps, in anotner,/"'try Hdiarro your soul; . for it is not an unusual conjunction to see] those who are veryearnest in growing rich1 giving their spare time to works of piety .J Kowevar,can thoFe.who speak thus preteud to say that, the Universities in exis-j tene'e'iri Englandj-'t&t-Coritin'erii/-an'd the! United States exist for the pnrpose of making their students good business men.} We have no wish whatever to disparage, a good business man—far from ltj The qualities which go to make a good' business man are/yery;w.e}l .in_ their-.way,.; bnt wo say that these qualities are not the best qualities of a man, and our, institutions for Higher Education should have another end in. view-to cultivate the beßt qualities, to widen the mental grasp, not to narrow it, to aim at perfection and get as: inear iit as possible, Sorely no one will assert that a man.^ia'at hid I best: when! Be is! driving a good bargain for himself, and that while he has'extended-his transactions, and ia mak ing fifty per cent on his capital, and is cor rectly enough designated a good business man, that he has thereby risen in the scale of humanity. ; , :§och an opinion in regard to the object to oe aimed at' in our higher sbhSol*'-' 4s iitheiyjiveriesti tDdgberryism and it is no .doubt a comforting reflection to those who' gave it and those who appovea] it that it has been carefully written down

(in the words of Dogberry himself, "Go to —one that hath two gowns, and everything handsome about him ; oh, that I had been writ down—an ass.") In fact no more con clusive argument could be brought forward in support of the necessity which exists tor establishing such an institution, which might in time helpjto dispel our ignorance and reclaim us from this condition, of semi barbarism. But we do not for a moment believe that such a spurious opinion "finds a general response in tbs community, although endorsed by our most enlightened contemporary. No doubt ihe "Herald" owes its success to its being conducted on good business principles, and is satisfied; but- it expects a little too much.when, it expects even its own subscribers to adopt this creed, so redolent of the market, that the best citizen is the best business man. It is eatisfactory at any rate to know who are our opponents in this extension of higher education : it is the lurking hidden foe who is most dreaded. We have no hesitation in telling them that this Com munity does not intend to lag behind other communities; that if the wish to pro ceed on the Dogberry principle or the all-sufficiency of a course of com mercial instruction, they can do so, but they shall not wet-blanket the laud able aspirations of the community, even if they were supported by fifty newspapers conducted on business principles. Mr Tole, as notified in our parlia mentary telegrams, has introduced a bill to obtain forthwith the establishment of a University College at Auckland, and in proposing it he will find his best argu ment consists in pointing to the'grovelling standards set before the people by their would-be leaders, and in calling upon all the enlightened and . educated men in the House to come to the rescue and redeem the oldest city in the colony from the inglorious reputation of being the least enlightened. We know Mr Rolleston is heartily in favour of doing it, and the Colonial Secretary last night gave it his thorough support, asserting that the measure was due to Auckland. If nothing unexpected transpires, therefore, the long-hoped-for University College may.ihe a thing accomplished beforeUhd end of the year.1 <■"«; ■'■•'/' .

That the Vigilance" of'the people against ttie devices of denominationalism clan never be safely relaxed for onemoment,,is attested by th'e''introduQtion. of a bill by Mr Vincent Fyke to amend the Education Act, in the direction of granting aid to private'scli'obls.'

(FEOM OUR SPECIAL BEPOUTES.)

WELLINGTON, this day AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY.

Mr Tole's Auckland University Collew Bill passed its second reading last nio|t without much trouble. The Colonial Secretary gave it his support, and said the Government were ot opinion that the time had come when it iras due to Auckland to have an institution such as was propojed by the Bill. He pointed out that the grant asked for was £1,000 a year more than the Senate asked for, and it ia Vetv probable he will attempt to lop off, that sum. Mr Macandrew expressed a hope that the New Zealand University would be located at Auckland, and that it would b« a bonfi fide affair and not a myth as at present.

THE RETURNED DESPATCH - VOGEL SENDS A COPY. '.

On June 22nd the Hoa. Mr Wilson asked in the Legislative Council whether it was a fact, as reported, that the Government had received despatches from Sir Julius Vogel and had from their character returned them. Mr Whitaker, in replr stated that one despatch was couched in such terms that the Government had d«. clined to place it among ths records of the colony, and had returned it to Sir Jnliug VogeL , Owing to this answer a number of members recently subscribed among them a sum sufficient to telegraph to Vogel stating what had been said about the despatch and I believe a Telegraph in answer had now been received from 'him stating that he has posted a 'copy of the letter in question for publioation.m .New Zealand. It is expected that the letter will reach here by the mail due on the 24th of August. ' ■■."-■ !•' ■
