ciety. Mr G. L. DennUton, president of the Chamber of Commerce, was in the chair. The speakers strongly denounced the pen sion scheme, and pointed out the injustice of the three principal officers drawing £4620 by way of bonuses since 1874, while the 171 other officers received but £7,358. All the^ speakers condomned the manner in which tho Directors endeavoured to stiflo the expression of the policy holders' opinion. Tho following resolutions wore unanimously adopted:—"That this mooting is of opinion that the granting of pensons to retiring officers is inconsistent with the principles and objects of the Society, and should in no cose caso be granted : That in tho opinion of this meeting the bonuses granted in past years to the principal oflicers of tlio Society havo been excessive, and should in future be very largely reduced if not altogether discontinued. That in the opinion of this meeting the time has arrived when the local board in each colony should be elected by tho policy-holders in tho colony which they represent, and that measures should be ab once taken to that end."

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE COUNCIL.

Tjib monthly meoting of this body took place yesterday afternoon, at 3.30, there being present: Sir G. M. O'Rorko (Chair man), Sir Frederick Whitaker, Bishop Covvio, Colonel Haultain, Revs. D. Brace mid Alex. Reid, and Messrs A. Dcvore (Mayor), S. Luke, H. G. Seth Smith, and Edwin Hcskoth.

t Rknt. — The Taupiri Reserve Colliery Vo. applied for an extension of time for payment of the current year's rent for 700 acres of land leased from the Council. The request was granted, tho Lime for payment bein.^ doforred till the due date in October next.

Ri:p- • km ent of Mkmbehs.— The Registrar was ■'. ,'vl to inform the Government thai, i 'huirmuu and Col. Haultain retired from uiuuw by ellkixion of time ou the iilsb pro.*., and to request them to take steps to till the vacancy. Ah Bishop Cowie's term expires at tho same time, tiie Registrar was directed to take steps to have that vacancy filled up. Entrance Scholarships.— The Profes sorial Hoard reported that six candidates hud undergone the examination for entrance scholarships, and, as a result, they recom mended that the two scholarships should be granted to Elsie Shrewsbury and Annie Morrison. The Registrar mentioned that of the six candidates there were three of each sex. Mr Luke said that both the win ners -were pupils of the Girls' High School, and both he believed wero holders of district scholarships. At, any rate Mis 3 Morrison was. In the recent pupil teachers' exami nation Miss Shrewsbury secured nearly the full percentage of marks in every subject—an extraordinary result.— It was resolved to grant tho scholarships to Misses Shrewsbury and Morrison. Recognition of Medical Lectures.— The University Court of Glasgow Univer sity forwarded a copy of the report of the medical faculty of the University regarding the application of Professors Mackellar, Brown, and Thomas for recognition of their medical lectures. The report referred to was as follows:—" The Faculty enter tains no doubt as to the qualifications of tho gentlemen who are applying for recognition, and it is of opinion that they should be re cognised on the same terms as the professors connected with the University of Otago. The Faculty is, however, of opinion that the documents submitted do not show that there exists at present in tho University College, Auckland, such courses of lectures as would fulfil the requirements of this University. Mention id made in tho letter of Sir G. Maurice O'Rorke of the Medical School, but on reference to the University College Calendar, which lias been for warded, no details are found as to the existence of such a school, nor does it ap pear from tho time table (Cal. p. 98) that the courses of lectures delivered in view of a science degree are such as would count as qualifying courses here. As regards the subject of anatomy, no information is given as to tho nature and extent of the course which it is proposed to institute. The Facility is further of opinion that the attention of the applicants for recognition should be called to the regula tions' of this University, 60 that it. may be clearly understood by them. No course of lectures can be recognised which is not equivalent to the corresponding qualifying course here. As regards the constitution of an anmis medicun, it may be explained to the applicants that the regulations of this University axe fixed by Act of Parlia ment, in accordance with the ordinances of the Commissioners, and are in themselves quite explicit, so that a reference to them will make it clear to what extent hona Jide. attendance on lectures delivered elsewhere is recognised. The Faculty places empha sis on the expression ' bonufde attendance in consequence of a rule winch seems to exist in University College, Auckland, whereby the personal attendance of under graduates at lectures is sometimes excused, of course, could not be permitted in thereof lectures qualifying for gradua tion in this University It sKould also be explained perhaps- this, too, fa clearly stated in the Calendar of the Urn verity of Glasgow-that the lectures can only count where the student **£»* following reply was received :— -Lnat tno Unive sfty &Lge of Auckland is one of the colleges affiliated to the University of New Zealand, which is incorporated by Royal Charter, and has the power of con ferring the degree of M.D. No special re cognition of the lectures of the professors is required. The only conditions attached to receiving the lectures as qualifying im decrees in medicine and surgery in this University, being that they must consist pi about the same number as is requued in this University, and that in any case wheio a professor lectures on more than one sud iector department, the certificate tor one of the subjects only will be recognised. Students may therefore constitute one annus mediau, by attendance on the.ee tures of the Professors in University College, Auckland, in terms of the regulations for graduation in this University, and in the case of biology either the certificate for botany or natural history will be received as the students may elect." The reply from Trinity Col lege, Dublin, was as follows :—" At present we do not recognise any medical schools outside Dublin, except those of Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh. But the whole question of extern schools is under the con sideration of the Professors, Board and Council." A letter was also read from the Auckland Hospital Board declining to lease a portion of the Hospital ground as a si^e for a dissecting-room, but offering to appoint a committee to confer with the Council re the establishment of a medical school in connection with the College The Medical School—Another Peo ject.—The Chairman said that Dr. Mac kellar considered the reply from Glasgow University to be tantamount to on affirma tive reply to the application, provided a dissecting-room were attached to the medical school and such a system carried on as was laid down in the Glasgow Uni versity Calendar. Dr. Mackellar was pre pared, if a suitable dissecting-room were erected, to go intp it and teach anatomy. Personally, he wm nob disposed to lot the

project of a medical school drop in conse quence of the opposition of the Hospital Board and the University. His idea, there fore, was that they should either erect premises suitable for the medical school on their own premises between the College building and the Beach Road, or leaao for the purpose the stone building on the Beach Road known as the Old \Ves leyan Store. Either of these places would serve until a kindlier spirit animated the Hospital Board and the University. He had ascertained that a suitable building could be put up for £100, whilo the Wesleyan score could be obtained at a rental of £4, per annum. He favoured the latter's proposal, and therefore as a last resource he proposed " That the Council of the Auckland University College requests tho Governor in Council, in pursuance of the provisions ol the Anatomy Act, 1575, to-authorise the establishment of a School of Anatomy in connection with this College, and that the Governor bo informed that tho Council proposes, that anatomy shall be taught by Dr. Mackellar, M.D., CM., Glasgow, in the stone building on the lot adjoining tho College premises in Eden-street."— In reply to Sir F. Wliitaker, tho Chairman paid ib was proposed to allow Dr. Mackellar his private practice, and to pay him half the salary given the Otago Professor. That would give him about £350 or £400. Tho expense involved would be about £;100 per annum.—Sir F. Whitaker wished to know if they could afford this.—The. Chairman thought so, while Colonel Haultain men tioned that there was £1,000 overdue to the Council.—A letter was read from Dr. Mackellar, advancing reasons why the project should nob be abandoned, and stating further that if the Council did not think proper to continue the present experi ment, he was willing to give partial in struction to intending students without salary, on the understanding that sh.uld the school bo in a position to be recognised next year a salary, at the rate of the one paid him during tho past year, would be refunded to him. If recognition were obtained ho would claim no salary. Sir Fred Whitaker said that as to the Hospital Board letter he did not see that they wanted any advice from that body now that they had refused the applications for leave to erect a dissecting room and for lease of a site. Col. Haultain approved the chairman's proposal's. — Sir F. Whitaker asked where the subjeetsof anatomical study were to be obtained from.—The Chairman replied that the "Anatomy Act" would give them power to apply forunclaimed bodies.— Mr Hesketh supported the motion, his mind being satished by Dr. Mackellar's letter. —Sir Fredk. Whitaker thought it extremely doubtful that tho Governor's license for the School of Anatomy would fee obtained. The Premier would advise him adversely, especially as he had opposed the Council's application at the University. — Col. Haultain remarked that the Govern ment would in that case incur the odium of defeating the project.-The Chairman's motion was then put and carried. The Council then adjourned till the 9th of May.

PARNELL BOROUGH COUNCIL.

The regular meeting of the Parnell Borough Council was held last night, when there were present: Mr J. Winks (Mayor) in tho chair, and Messrs McCu.be, Kidd, Gay, Savage, Whitloy and Lyell.

Correspoxdenck.—William Holder ap plied for permission to erect a boat-shed in St. George's Bay— Granted under certain conditions. J. Morgan, contractor for cut ting down of Manuknu Road, asked for extension of time for three weeks — Agreed to allow him 10 days' extension. Mr W. S. Cochrane, Secretary of the Melanasian Trust, furnished a letter from Mr Coom, Resident Engineer of the rail-

way, re drainage from houses in tho Mnnukau Road. The Mayor said tho plans prepared by the Council's Engineers, Moasra Boy'an and Lundon, embraced these build ings, and their drainage would be attended to in due course. The matter was then re ferred to tho Finance Committee. Mr E. T. King, of Brighton, reminded the Council that the conditions on which he promised to withdraw his claim had nob been complied with, Mr Savage thought advice ought to be had upon tho mutter. It was agreed to let the letter lie upon tho table. Mr W. Hodgson wrote explaining thab the reason ho charged the Council 18s for work done for Mr Morloy was that Mr Morley authorised him to do the work Letter re ceived ; the account having been passed for payment at the previous meeting. Mr C. H. Smith wrote complaining of tho in justice of being summoned fo rates ; also, that his letter on the subject to the Council had remained unanswered-Letter received.

Accounts.—As passed by the Finance Committee, these were £S8 Gs lOd ; submitted and passed for payment. Drainac;k of Campbell Teluiace, &c.— The Foreman of works reported that lie found the property owners of Campbell Terrace willing to drain as soon as possible. He also reported upon Eden-street sewer and other works. Some of these works were referred to the Finance Committee to report upon. Tho Inspector of Nuisances reported favourably upon the sanitary state of the

borough, Fire Brigade.—Captain Judge reported on the recent fire at Mrs Bell's premises. He also intimated that two hand lamps and one swivel lamp were required. He en closed account from recent fire, namely £3 —Cr. Gay proposed, and Cr. Kidd seconded a vote of thanks to the gallant members of the Bi'igade.

SERVICE OF SACRED MUSIC.

St. David's Presbyterian Church choir, as sisted by friends, gave a recital of sacred music at the church last evening, a collec tion which was taken up during the oven ing being in aid of the Sunday-school funds. Mr J. °H. Edmondes conducted, and Messrs Hooton and Wilson played the accompaniment*. After the singing of a hymn, Mr Badger (chairman) gave an address on " Sunday-school Work," and the choir followed with the anthem " Holy is the Lord Our God." Other items were rendered as follows : — Quartette, " Oh think when you are tempted" (Harry Gray) by Mrs Edmondes, Miss Davies, Messrs Kilpatrick and Edmondes; song, " The Fisherman and his Child," Mr A. S. Reid • anthem, " Thine, 0 Lord," choir ; son*, " Tho Old Cathedral>" Miss Davies • solo, "Nazareth," Mr J. H.

Mr Hooton also nlaved an organ solo during the collection, and after votes of thanks had been passed , t j ie c hoir and the Chairman, the proceed- F s wore brought to a close with the Bene diction.
