UNIVERSITY SENATE.

The New Zealand University Senate com menced its session in the old District Court Building at noon to-day. There were present: Chancellor, Henry John Tancrcd (presiding); Vice-Chancellor, James Hector, M.D., KK.S., CM.G.; Registrar and Secretary, William Miles Maskell; Pro fessor J. M. Brown, Rev. D. Bruce, Eight Key. Bishop Cowie, Dr Yon Haast, Key. J. W. Habens, 8.A., Jndgc Hcale, Pro fessor McGregor, Sir G. M. O'Rorke, the Most Key. F. Kcdwood, D.D., Professor G. S, Sale, Professor J. Jjhand, and Professor Salmond. Chancellor's Repoet.—The Chancel loi's report was read by Mr W. M, Maskell

f i The report regretted the death of the ' Key. W. Johnston, and the resignation of the Key. JJr, Stuart. The vacancies in ' the Senate had been filled by the appoint ' meut of Professor McGregor, and the Eev, IJ. AY. Salmond. A letter had been re -1 ccived from the Medical Council of Great • BritaiD, intimating that in case a student should not have passed, at the Entrance ' Examination, in the subject of " Elementary Mechanics of Solids and Fluids," a knowledge ot that subject should be required from him at a subse quent examination. All the gentlemen nominated by She Senate accepted except Dr. McGregor. It was nccc33ary that regulations as to examinations should be framed immediately, because an apprentice or pupil must obtain a certi ficate within a year alter the expiration of hia apprenticeship or pupilage in order to his registration. Correspondence relative to the Gilchriat scholarships showed that the Senate would have nothing to do with the examinations which were to be con ducted by the Governor or his nominee. Ample notice of these examinations would, however, be given. The Chancellor had received the charter and calendar of the new Koyal University of Jtcland, but these had not, when sent, received the Royal assent. The Chancellor narrated the stops taken to procure authority to errant Degrees in Science. The ■ Adelaide University already possesses that authority, and the Sydney University pro mised to consider tho matter. The Chan cellor therefore suggested for the consider tion of the Seuatc the drafting of a memo rial for the purpose of forwarding it to Her Majesty, alter obtaining the concurrence thereto of the Sydney authorities. In the calendar ofjtho University of London it is provided that graduates in arts, who have taken degrees in the Universities of Sydney, Melbourne, Madras, or Calcutta, may proceed to degrees in science or medi cine at the University of J ondon, with out passing thoro the Matriculationn Examination, It might bo advisable (and applicatiou bad been made by a graduate with that view) to obtain tho extension of tho above provision to the JXew Zealand Univeisity. A letter had been received from the Council of the Univorsity of Mel bourne, notifying that in the case of students matiiculated in the University of Sydney, New Zealand; or Adelaide, desir ing to proceed with their studies in Mel bourne, tho Council would accept tho Matriculation Examination of any or nll of these Universities. In cnu sequence of some dissatisfaction re lative to tho non-issue of tho examination papers with the Calendar in 1881, he had instructed the University Agent in London to have a number (three hundred) of sets of the examination papers for next .Novem ber made up in pamphlet form, at the save time that the sets_ are printed for tho examination. A pi ice might be fixed by the Senate for those; and he suggested that tenders should be called for the posi tion of publishers to the University and the Calendar, and examination papers should ba handed over to the successful firm for distribution. ESTABLISHMENT OF COLLEGES IN THE NORTH ISLAND. On this subject the Chancellor said :— " I have to slate that, in the last session of the General Assembly, a bill which was in troduced for the purpose of providing, in accordance with the views of the Senate, proper means of University Education in the North Island, was withdrawn. The extension of the univeisity work, as evidenced by the increased number of student*,and of candidates for examination, induces me to express the hope that duo provision for the urgent wants of students iv the North will not be long delayed. In fact, the condition of affairs in that part of the colony is now worec than before ; for, since the last session of the Senate, the Wellington College authorities applied tome for the dis-aililiation of that college, and the only affiliated Institutions now remaining in the North Island arc those in Auckland. In consequence of this action on the part of the Wellington College, a number of under graduates were deprived of the means of completing their University terms of the year. In order that they should not suffer thereby, I made arrangements whereby they could undergo their annual examina tion on papers set at the Canterbury College, the University paying the neces sary expenses; but as their work had necessarily been much interrupted, only two availed themselves of the opportunity. One of tho Wellington undergraduates is n Junior Scholarjof the University. The -Regulation (Calendar, p. 52) makes it obli gatory on Junior Scholars to pass each year the annual examination of their College, and also to pass, at the end of their second year, one section of their li.A. Examina tion. The student in question has been unable to do either of these things, and I have informed him that, in consequence, his Scholarship is legally vacated. But, under the circumstances, I promised to leave to the decision of the Senate the question, whether his Scholarship shall I c continued to him or not. I should be ulad to have also from the Senate a direction as to the entering in the Calendar of the names of these undergraduates, seeing that the college to which they belonged ia no longer affiliated, QUESUONS FOR DtCISION BY THE SKNATEi The address then proceeded to enumerate tho questions calling for decision by the Senate. Among these was the adoplion of the consolidated regulations that had been prepared by tho committee appointed last session. Several regulations required clearer interpretation. In one Instance the Chancellor had declined to allow a teacher coming up under the Teachers' Regulation to compete for a Senior Scholarship. It also was desirable to determine whether a teacher qualifying for a Class under the arrangemont with the Education Depart ment should be required to pass the same ex amination again if he afterwards desires to proceed to tho 15. A. degree. It had also been asked whether a graduate admitted to tho Degree of B.A ad cundem can pro ceed to the degree of fit. A. by examination. Clearer definition is required in the regu lations affecting examinations. KBBPINC OF TEBMS. Several questions have arisen in regpect to this, (a) Tho case where, as in Wel lington, there are undergraduates but no affiliated college, has been already men. tioncd, (b) In cases where the affiliated colleges are not in a position to give sufficient instruction to undergraduates, or do not do co, application has been made to me for exemption from attendance at lectures. But it has appeared to me that the intention of the Senate has always been to discourage the pursuit of the University course merely in the intervals of other avocations ; to induce undergraduates, in fact, to cmftne themselves, during three years at least, to study; and, for this reason, I have refused my consent to the application. It has been stated to me that in some of the affiliated Institutions no lectures are delivered to undergraduates, except iv so far as these are scholars of the institutions following the general scholastic course, and that therefore there are no means whereby an " external " student c;in proceed to nis degree thereiD. The Peiiato has demanded, as a condition of affiliation, the delivery of "lectures," and the holding ot annual examinations in the subjects taught in such lectures. I have suggested, in the pamphlet above mentioned of revised Regulations, a clause ia the Statute "|ot affiliation," providing for a report by the governing body of each institution ot the number of lectures delivered to undergraduates in each year. (3) A question had also arisen relative to the terms necessary to tho degrees of LL.B and LL.D. SENIOR SCHOLARSHIPS. An application for the payment of money arifin" under two senior scholarships of 1879 had been refused, on the ground that the holders were studying out of New Zea land. The Chancellor asked for direction in this matter. Also in the matter of Examination fees for the B.A. Degree and Senior Scholarship.

SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW ItfioULATIONS.

It has been suggested that the University should accept, as an equivalent to the Mnlrloulatlon JSxuniiriatiou, tbe prelimi nary or " general knowledge " examination of law students at least pro tanto; and also Hie Senior Civil Service Examination. The question of a revised scheme for Senior Scholarships would also, again be brought

for discussion. Additions were also re quired in the Kcgnlations to provide for the case of undergraduates admitted ad euudeni statum of the third year, who might have passed at another University in the subjects of Latin and mathematics an examination equivalent to that of the Uni versity. And to include in the regula tions on ad cundem admission, the ltoyal Irish University, the Victoria University, and the University of 6 dclaide.

THE "KKCOMMENDATIONS AND ANNOUNCE.

MENTS."

1 Periods and authors should be prescribed for the various examinations of the year " 1884. Questions required settling relative to the papers on Natural Science for Honours, the Biology examination, Chemistry, and the L.L.B. and L.L.D. : examinations, and various miscellaneous matters. The Chancellor regretted to inform tho , Senate that he had lately received the resignation of the Agent in England, Mr H. N. Moseley, brought about by his election to the Linacre Professorship of Physiology in the University of Oxford, in the room of the late Professor Rolleaton. He had informed Mr Moseley that he would ratify any appointment of his successor which he may make with theconcurrenceof Dr. Carpenter, Mr Carleton, and Mr Mil man, THE EXAMINATIONS OF 1881. THE NOVEMBER EXAMINATIONS. All the papers for these were prepared in England. Some were available horn the numbers originally prepared and not used for tbe examinations of 1880. No mistake or difficulty occurred on this point. The following candidates came up : — For the B.A. Degree. - First section, 40 ; second section, 17. Total, 57. For the L.L.B. Degree.—First exam ination, 1; second examination, 1; third examination, 1, Total, 3. For the L.L.D. Degree, 1; for honours, 10; for the M.A. Degree, 2. Total, 13. And of these 23 were candidates for senior scholarship?, Grand total, 73. THE DECEMBER EXAMINATIONS. Tho following candidates came up :— For Matriculation, 46 ; for Junior Scholar ships, 28. Total, 74. Showing a decrease of three, as compared with the number in 18S0. MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSITY. Four undergraduates were admitted ud cundem statum during the year. Tho number ot undergraduates on the books of the University on December 31st, 1881, was 233, inclusive of 88, who havo not presented themselves for Collego examination during the last two years. To this number will have to be added those who passed at the late entrance examina tion, There are now 36 graduates admitted after examination, to whom arc to bo added those who have passed at the November examination. ACCOUNTS. The following is an abstract of tho inoomo and expenditure for the twelve months :— Income. — Government grant, £3,000 ; fees, £214 9s; sale of calendars, £7 17s fid; miscellaneous, £105 9s 6d ; interest, £272 11s; balance, £1,225 5s Gd ; total, £4,825 12a Gd. Expenditure.—Sonato, £408 17s 5d ; otlico. £587 7s lOd; goneral purposes, £272 10s 7d; examinations, £2,0'J8 Is Sd ; scholarships, £1,54S 15a. Total, £4,823 12s Gd.

The Senate will observe that the excess of expenditure over income is larger tban last year, the expenditure being about £SOO more than in 18S0, whilst the actual receipts (£3,G00 7s) exceeded thoso of that year by £54.

The increpsos of expenditure over ISBO were thus divided : senate increase, £89 ; office, £104 ; scholarships, £91 ; examina tions increase, £582. The Univorsity has still to its credit £5,745 on all accounts. The general account, however, remains in debted to the scholarship account for advances to the extent of £700. EXAMINATIONS OP 1882. By the mail leaving New Zealand on January 31st, instructions were sent to England for the preparation of all the papers required for tho examinations of next November, for Degrees, Senior Scholarship.", and Honours, with the ex ceptions mentioned above, of tho papers in Chemistry, Law, and Honours Natural science. The examiners of last year have intimated their willingness to act again for the Unive^ity this year. It was agreed that the report of tho Chancellor be taken into consideration on the next sitting day. Degrees.—The Vice Chancellor moved —"'Hint the application for ad cundem degrees be considered at next sitting.— Agreed to. Hour of Meeting,—lt was resolved, on the motion of the Vice-chancellor, " That the hour of meeting be 10 a.m., unless otherwise ordered, that the Chancellor leave the chair at 1 p. m. without motion to resume the chair at 2.30 p.m., unless other wise directed."

MOTC.SB o? Motions.—Notices woe given far the appointment of a iiuuui o committee and a committee to consider the medical course, and also in reference to several unimportant matters of detail. The Senate then > adjourned till to morrow.

PRIMITIVE METHODIST SCHOOL.

OPENING SOIREE,

The Primitive Methodist soiree in cele bration of the opening of the new Sunday school was quite a success, and gratifying in all its details. The tea and provisions were ample and of the Lest quality, and of which fully 200 persons heartily partook. The ladies who presided at tho tables were Mrs Cano, Mrs Hardic, and Misses Hardic, Freer, Taylor, and Donald, and their cour teous attention was appreciated. Kcv. Thomas Buddie occupied the chair, and made some encouraging remarks on the success which the friends had achieved in erecting a school, which he had no doubt would prove a blessing to that crowded neighbourhood. Excellent addresses were also given by the Eev. Joseph Long, Rev. James Grey, and Mr David Goldie, the latter gentleman bring a prime mover in the good work. The choir mustered well, and under the leadership of Mr Frith sang a number of suitable hymns and selections between the speeches. The proceedings throughout were interesting, musical, and instructive. A notice of the building was given in the Star of Saturday last. Mr Goldiu,in his address,gave a brief his tory of the operations which led to the re eatablishment of a Primitive Methodist school and preaching service in this dis trict. He said:—About 3| yean ago some of our friends In connection with the Alexandra-street Church, thinking that the time might come when they would be com pelled to follow the example set them by the Congregationalists and other denomina tions in closing up their churches in the lower part of the city and erecting others in close proximity to tho population as at present located, set themselves to work to select a site suitable for this object. Tho site upon which this building now stands was considered the most eligible, it being in the centre of a densely populated district, the inhabitants of which, for the most part, beinu the otvners of the houses in which they reside, thus guaranteeing a more permanent occupation. Shortly after fixing upon the site tho land was placed upon the market, and although the price asked for a portion of the site, viz., £135 was considered at that time to be beyond its value, still we determined to purchase, thinking it better to give in excess of the value rather than to purchase an inferior site for the sake of saving a few pounds, Since then T»e have secured an additional allotment, from Mr Cherry, at a cost of £40, thus giving us a valuable frontage of about 80 feot to both streets at a coat of £175. As we were not in a position to pay for these allotments at the time of purchase, one of our members advanced the money on the understanding that no I Interest should be charged until we were ia a position to pay for the land. This ar rangement has been adhered to, so that up to the present no interest has been paid. HaviDg thus secured a site, and not being in | apositionat oncetoerecta suitable building, > we engaged the Excelsior Hall, intending to hold a Sunday-school in the morning, j and a preaching service iv the afternoon, ] hoping that our efforts, by judicious and careful management, would tend, if not, immediately, yet in the future to the build- i ing up of a cause that Methodism would look upon with pleasure. We therefore, on tbe 14th July, 1878, opened a Sunday school in the Excelsior Hall, with au attendance of 21 scholars and 4 male teachers, and on the afternoon of the same day we held our first preaching service. From tiat time on to the present wo have laboured on with varying Buccess, our diffi culty not being so much from the wantof children to teach, but more from the in ability of obtaining and keeping suitable teachers. Some of our most earnest and de voted workers ffho were doing good service

left us for various reasons. This at times almost disheartened us, bnt feeling that wo were in the path of duty we held on, aud to-night we rejoice that we have to a large extent overcome our difficulties and have by tho kind assistance of friends been enabled to erect a building which we think must bo acknowledged ti bo in *mauy respecta a credit to the district. We have already informed you that we commenced our school on Sunday, July 14th, 1878, with an attendance of 21 Bcholars and 4 male teachers. Since then ■we have been gradually increasing in num bers, co much so that the seating accommo dation, in the Excelsior Hall was scarcely suflicicnt to meet our requirements. Our average attendance during the past twelve months has been 49 children. This, of course, includes all wet Sundays ; whist the largest number of children present oa any one Sunday during tho same period baa been GS. We feel convinced, with tho accommodation now provided, coupled with an energetic canvass of the district, that at our next anniversary wo shall be in a position to report a very much larger number of scholars in attendance at our school, and wo hope to have tho pleasure of informing you that many of them have given their hearts to the Saviour. Mr Uoldic then gave a statement of their financial position, showing assets £206 19s lid, and liabilities £344 6s, leaving a debit balance of £337 6a Id ; which it was .proposed to re duce during tho ensuing six montli3 to £250.

UNION BEACH GOLDMINING MEETING.

A genbkal extraordinary ujcctinf! of the shareholder's of this company was held this afternoon in the large room of the Insurance Buildings for considering special resolution in relation to the future of tLo mine (Captain Daldy in the chair). The secretary, Mr Friar Clarke stated that tho shareholders- had been informed of this meeting Mr George asked for some statement of the company's affairs, so that each shareholder might know exactly the position ot the company. Tho chair man said that had been douo pre viously. He maintained that tho directors had done their duty, and he might say that the company was £250 in debt. Mr Webb Enid the shareholders had been kept in tho dark. He, for one, thought it was a good investment, and that gold had been got i .

the mine, and now they wore asked to pass a resolution to wind-up. Mr Clarke said tho company's statements had been published from time to time, and evevy shareholder was at liberty to investigate such matters at the ollicc.

It,was proposed by Mr Barber, seconded by Mr Morpeth "that the Uniou JJcach Gold Mining Company (Limited) be wound up."

Mr Georgo moved as an amendment "That the miue bo let on tribute." Mr Webb seconded.

The Chairman aaid if the amendment was passed a call uiußt be made. Ou being put, the amendment was lost.

It was proposed by Mr Morpeth, seconded by Mr Barber, "That a liquidator be appointed for wiiuliug-up the aifaira of the company and distributing the property." Carried.

It waa resolved, on the motion of Mr Morpeth, "That Mr Joseph Friar Clarke be appointed liquidator, aud i'3o be paid to him tor his services."

MrSalter proposed, and Mr Raudersou seconded, "That the property be disposed of by public auction." Mr Ring said this matter was in tho hands of the liquidator to sell it by tender or by auction, lie would act in the interest of the shareholders.

Mr Kanderson withdrew his resolution. The minutes of the meeting were adop ted, and tho meeting dispersed.

The petition against Major Harris, mem ber for iTranklyn, will be hoard at l'apa kura on Wednesday next, before the Chief Justice and Mr Justice Gillies. Messrs Jackson and Kussell will instruct counsel on behalf of Mr Buckl.and, while Mr li. 11. Lusk will repsesant Major Harris. At a sitting of the Supreme Court in Chambers yesterday, an np[l ca tion was mado to Mr Justice Gillies, in the matter of the petition of Mr W. ■F, Buckland, the unsuccessful caudidate, to authorise certain amendments to be made in the petition, also to strike out other clauses. (1) In respect of a voting paper which was refused on the ground of informality, the particulars on the face of the paper not being sufficient. (2) In relation to a paper sent in by a person named Dovell, in regard to which it was stated that the Keturniuc; Ollicer had asked certain ques tions, and attached certain conditions. (3) In respect to Another elector in which the Kcturning Officer allowed a certain vote which was disqualified by the statute. The following aro the principal allegations in the petitions :—That at Mungere the De puty Kcturninj; Officer, in counting the votes, declirod a certain vole to be in formal, and refuted to count the same, whereas your petitioner bolievcs the same to have been a good vote. That at Howick a man named Dovell was intimidated. That livo (persons under ago were allowed to vote, That two persons were allowed to vote from the one residence. That petitioner only ap pointed one scrutineer at Otahuhu, having been told there would be ouly one ballot* box, That at Otahuhu only 298 persons leceircd voting papers, while 304 papers were placed in the ballot-box, That in the case of Dovell, the Deputy .Koturning Officer attached a condition before giviDg him the voting paper. Tbc Court declined to .'strike out any clauses in the petition on the gtouud that it would be interfering with the jurisdiction of the tribunal empowered to try such cases, but consented to allow the amendment of a clause by inserting the words "on the ground that the name was placed in writing on the face of the voting paper."

Mr Morgan found a mnn in his tedroom last night, butnnfortunacly he got away, leaving liis hat behind. Our police supervision is bad, in fact useles?.
