UNIVERSITY COLLEGE COUNCIL.

We continue on* rtport of the proceedings alter wo went to press yesterday. Sir Mauiicc O'Kotke, after n-'siunin;? the'e^eir, thanked the Couucil for the honour ron ferrcil upon b!tu, Kefcn;pg to the ncfiL. ct in rcsp-ctof highercdura'i-ih iti the prst, he s.>id they had every reason to look hopefully to the future. "It ia true," he proceeded, " that universities are nearly always supplied with their students fvom secondary or grammar schoo's. JN'ow, we have ia Auckland a Grammar School and a Girl-.' High S.hool, 1 suppose conta'ning now between <LOO and SCO pupi's. At theChnrih or England Grammar School at Pavnell, there are about 80 pupils, at the Thames CO, and ut YYhangarei 20. Altogether ihere a:e between GO!) and 700 pupils of b th sexes receiving an education ut tchools, rrany of whom ought to go to feed the university, JBut I look a treat deal deeper than that. )n tlrs province we baye over 200 public school*, with a staff of some 503 teachers, and pupi's numberiog probably 17,000, and I say tint from the ranks of these teachers and pupils there fh'iuld come large additions to those who may be expee'ed to frequent tlrs University College, I believe now that we have established a full system if primary, secondary, and tupeiior education in this prownco, the three governing bodies of the c several grades of education ought to be found workiDg harmoniously tojjetlur aud co-operating with one another, so ihat, by means of scholarships, tbe most talented boys shall pass from the public schools into our grammar schools, and tbence, by attain ing higher fcbolarthips, work tbeir way in to the ins i'.ution over which we preside, there to receive a thorough academical education, culminating in ihe acquisition of a degree. Then will be alforded, I hope, to the ambitious ?nd a'phing youth who possess a taste and aptitude for learn ing -bo they of the primary or of the secondary school—an opportunity of reaping the benefits of such education and training as t'.e best professors we can obtain at home c.»n imp.irt.1' SpeakiDg tf the prospects of the College, the Chairman added— " Alicady the four professors that were considered absolutely necrssaiy for ns to have in order to start with have been ap puiuted under the direcxion of the Uovern ment. They have been chostn with great care by a commission composed of the most eminent scholars that the universities of tie United Bingdcm posse's, acting in conjuciiou With the Agent-General for the colony. The names of the proftssora thus chosen have been published ia the Press, and 1 have no doubt theirnaims bavebecome familiar to the members of th's Council. I am cot in a position to- say when they may ariive: The oiifj'nal intentioa wss that two at least—the Protis-or of Classics aud English, and the Professor of Mathe matics and Mathematical Physics—should arrive in January. Probably, as other two profer-ors were appointed at the fame timr, ihey may all come in a hody, but I am n t in a position to speak precisely on that point, but i-imply expnss my great grati fication that we will soon be in a position to ttiiow open the doors of our miniature uaivtr>ity fur the reception of students.". Sukdky Mattke.—it was agreed, on the mution of Rev. D. Bruce, that the Council of tbe Auckland University College d" apply to be aliiiia^ cd to the New Zealand University. The nucting iesolved to iu v.te applications unt'l noon of Monday, March.2Btl>, fir the position of registrar, at a s-alaiy of £100 per annum.— Dr Campbe'i, Judge Smith, and Mr Hes kech were app tinted a committee to repoit upon the best design far a* seal.—The C'.iairmin riad \ha fo!lowing toleßram from tl.c Inspector-General of Schools :—" Wel lington.—To Sir Maurice O'Borke : Asjent- G■•ueral's Inst telegram, 1 ecember 30, says : ' Professors cave been appointed. Pnrt'cnlaia will be Beut by next mail. Said mail will probably ariive within a fortnight."—W. J. HABKNS." It was agreed, on the motion of Mr Justice Gillies, "That the Chairman apply to tbe Government for un official statement of the steps alieady taken by them in the appoint ment of professors, tbe amount of salaries aud other expenses already incurred, to gether with a statement of tbe funds which »ie now at the disposal of the Counc'l for the purposes of the college; also, what facilities the Government will give for ob taining a building necessaiy for the tempo lary purnosd of the college."

MOKO-HINAU LIGHTHOUSE AND ROTTEN PROVISIONS.

(To the Editor.)

Sit, —I wps not surprised to see in last u:ght'« "Star" the veiy mild complaiot of the workmen that have b:en at work at the Moko-Hinau I: ghthou'>e re the bad provi fious that have been seived out to them by the foreman, Mr David Scoit, Now, Kir, hnylng been months at work on the above job I caa vouch for the truth of the men's statement, and can pay that after Mr Scoit took cba'ge of the work the men (I amongst the rest) never had any sweet meat or butter, if there was any b.id to be got at, and when I complained to Mr Scott and asked him why he did not kiJlsome of the sheep that was on the island, which had been sent from AucMand for the use of the men, he said be was cot going to teed them on the fresh meat,and that he had got,bnthfi'om Mr Scad, Secretary of Customs, and Mr Blackett, Marino Engineer, strict instruction:; that all old provisions sent must be used up before he killed any ot the sheep, and when he did kiU any he was to fait tbera down, which be very caretc'.'y elid before we got at them. In fact, sir, if ray wife had not sent me good butter md oilier good things to eat, I could not have remained at fho work so long as I d:d, and 1 tod Mr Scott so ; rud, rs 1 hai been sent from Wellington by Mr Blackett, the Maiiue Eogiueer, to commence the work trad cany it on until Mr Scott came to take, charge. I did not care to leave unt'l I Wi's compelled to do so, f* I could not cat the bad food. Mr Scott? told me that he bad got instructions to go by, and cor Id not ex ceed them. Now, 1 have since seen Mr Mirfio, who went wirh me to the island to lay off the st>, v aud who has erected most of the principal I'^hthouses ia New Zealand under the same Head and instructions of the Maiiue Depa.tment. He informs me that a very liberal tcale .of the very best provisions wa> always rUowed. In fact, more than the men could eat. Mr Mirlin never had a compla'nt about the food from his men, and most of them were with him at light-home work over five years., which is a proof that they were satin tied with the food they got; aad he. told me that he could not believe that either Mr Seed, Mr Blackett, or any one in the Marine Department would give such instructions about the food as stated by Mr Scott, ond I say with the men, air, it is a shame to take men to an island like that, and serve them iv tbis manner, and I hopo the Government willJJlook iuto the matter, and ascertain how the money that is allowed for provisions for the men has been expended.—Youw, &c , -

PERSONAL.

(To the Editor.)

Stu, -Your report of the meeting of the Ponsonby Kegatta Club scarcely gives a fair construction to my actions. It had boon passed at a previous meeting that the ninie should be altered to the "West End Re gatta Club," and for that reason I had in duced several gentltnien residing in the Freeman's Bay district to consent to act on the committee il they were elected. At a meeting preliminary to the geneal meeting, a tow active workers set about selecting the names olgentlemen who could be depended on to work liaituoniously together; and some (f the gentlemen to whom I had thus spoken were among the selected. Wnen the motion t) alter the name to that of the "Ponsonby Regatta\!iub" was brought on, 1 pointed out how I had acted, and that ssvoral gectlemen of the Freeman's Bay district had consented to act, on account of the wider basis iadi cited by the name '• West End." The proposition to retain the name of " West Uud" was lost — only the proposer and myself (the secon der) voting for it. 1 saw at once that I could not bo a party to any of my Free man's Bay friends being elected, but I had no authority to Bay that they would not act if elected, I felt that my only coarse was to retire. I did not say when I left the room " in that case I could give no as sis'ance," I merely remarked, " Well, gen. tlemcn, I think you can get on very well without mo " The meaniag of the two sentences are very different.-Yours, &c,, J.
