C O N C I L I A T I O N is the order of the day w i t h M r . Gladstone's Cabinet — the measures w h i c h las t session caused B u c h i r r i t a t i o n are being modified one b y one, and if an independent member wants a committee or a commission he gets at least tho appearance of consent. I h o P a r k regula t ions have been re-modified and b r o u g h t within the l i m i t s of common sense. M r . Harcourt having p i t ched into M r . A y r t o r i , and M r . Ayrton having .given that gentleman— who rivals himself i n unpopnlar i ty^at least as good « 8 he gave every one i s satia5ed. Mr. Lowe and the Woods and Fores t s have relaxed their grasping demands in the matter of the land reclaimed on the embankment, and tho Metropolitan J Board are to have- what they wanted for three thousand instead of forty thousand fjounds. Mr. Hoims, the Rad ica l member for Hackney, has been granted a committee, which wil l inquire whether the different publio departments cannot do better than oompete against each other for the goods t hey w a n t to purchase. I can prophecy that if any attempt is made to centralise the con-t r a i t s for feeding and clothing piupers , w e shall hear a groat deal from the v e s t rymen , whose patronage w i l l t e r e s t r i c t e d . A l toge the r , M r . Gladstone seems determined, if possible, to try to have a quiet session, and we may be qu i t e sure that M r . D i s r a e l i w i l l no t make a fight unices h e s e e s a chance of w i n n i n g .

I N the House of Lords there was a ve ry p r e t t y discussion between the E a r l of Rosebery and E a r l Granvi l le on the " decline and f a l l of Bri t i sh ho-se-breeding," i n which L o r d Granv i l l e , who is a raoet accomplished equest r ian in every sense of the term, had m u h the best of the a rgument . Lord G r a n v i l l e d i d n o t s e e h o w hor3e -breeding could bo encouraged by p u t t i n g a t a x • on i t , a n d l i i i ' t i n g tho m a r k e t of breeders. Howeve^ he gran io i a commit tee , w h i c h w i l l , it is to be l o p e d , have the f t m of examin ing A d m i r a l Rous-T h e A d m i r a l believes t h a t races of half a milo and three-quarters of a milo promote the breeding of sound, useful horses, a n d only asks on behalf of his

f r iends , the bookmakers , that the tax on race-horeea may b e reduced from three pounds twelve shillings and sixpence to h a l f a guinea. Admi ra l - Rons is no t a betting man, hut the incense of praise of the betting r i r g is the de l igh t of his life.

L O U D H O U G H T O N , from whom I expected be t ter things, wan t s to have fo re ign orders acknowledged i n E n g l a n d . The next t h i n g w o u l d bo to es tabl ish some B r i t i s h order o f m o t i t , and then the sort o f people who get k n i g h t e d w o u l d got a cross and riband. Pr ince Albert w a s a pr ince abave average in intellect, yet he made one of his gentlemen ushers, u n k n o w n outside of Cour t , a K . C . B . , and offered a k n i g h t ­hood to Rober t Stephenson on the opening of M e n a i Br idge , w h i c h the g T e a t engineer declined. T h e l aw about fore ign decorations is, t h a t you may, i f y o u are n o t a soldier or in the. C i v i l Service, wear any foreign decorations anywhere except a t Cour t . I once saw o n the s ta i rs of the Palace of tho Tu i l e r i e s d u r i n g one o f the Empress ' s receptions, a fine-looking E n g l i s h m a n w i t h h i s breast covered ' w i t h orders. Subsequent i nqu i r i e s in fo rmed m e t h a t this person h i d made h imse l f useful in connect ion w i t h t h e b a ' l e t depar tment of the t h e i t r e s of German and I t a l i a n re ; gning and mediat ised dukes.

THE GREAT MEASURE OF TEE 'SESSION.

I n the House of Commons M r . Gladstone moved for leave t o i n t r o d u c e the I r i s h U n i v e r s i t y B i l l . The speeoh, w h i c h he del ivered, oooupied three hours i n de l ivery , and contained an ou t l ine of t he chief pro­visional of the measure. H e main ta ined t h a t aca­demical reform is needed i n I r e l a n d by reason of the present insufficiency of academical teaching and the s t rangely defective cons t i t u t ion of T r i n i t y College. Discussing t h e second cause whioh ca l l s ' fo r academical r e fo rm, M r . Gladstone d i la ted on the a n o m a l o u s pos i t ion of the U n i v e r s i t y and the strange inversion, of the r e l a t i o n s between i t and T r i n i t y College. T n i s led h i m i n t o a long re­t rospect of t h e h i s t o r y o f the U n i v e r s i t y , f r o m whioh he drew t h e c o n c l u s i o n t h a t by i t s o r ig ina l design the Un ive r s i t y was a lways in tended to i n ­clude several colleges, and t h a t , i n fact , var ious col­leges had f rom t i m e to t i m e existed, a l t hough none had s u r v i v e d b u t T r i n i t y College. On th i s h i s to r ica l conclusion he based t h e ma in pr inc ip le of the b i l l .-t h a t the U n i v e r s i t y of D u b l i n — a s d i s t ino t f rom T r i n i t y College—is the ancient h i s to r i ca l U n i v e r s i t y of I r e l and , and t h a t w i t h i n i t s preoincts should be effected the a c a d e m i c a l re form which is needed. Before proceeding to describe the mode i n wh ich th i s pr inc ip le w i l l be ca r r ied ou t , he mentioned as a col la tera l p r o p o s i t i o n t h a t the Queen's Col­leges of Bel fas t and Cork w i l l be re ta ined, t h a t tho Galway College w i l l ^be w o u n d u p by 1870, and t h a t i t w o u l d be proposed to merge the Queen'B U n i ­ve r s i ty i n t o D u b l i n U n i v e r s i t y , a l though on th i s las t po in t he seemed ready, t o defer t o the j u d g m e n t of the House. The b i l l w o u l d proceed on t w o p r inc i ­ples w h i c h had been already applied t o the reform of the E n g l i s h Univers i t i es , t h a t is to say, Tests wou ld be a b o l i s h e B ; the U n i v e r s i t y emancipated f r o m the colleges, members w o u l d be in t roduced i n t o the U n i v e r s i t y n o t be longing t o any of the colleges, and the colleges w o u l d be taxed for - the benefit o f the U n i v e r s i t y . O n January 1, 1875, t he powers now exercised by the Provos t and the Seven Senior Fe l lows ot T r i n i t y College i n re la t ion t o the U n i v e r s i t y w i l l be Landed over t o the new Govern ing B o d y ; then wi l l fo l low a p rov i s iona l per iod d u r i n g w h i c h cer ta in special arrangements w i l l p r e v a i l ; and after 1885, when the new eyBtem has beon f u l l y developed, the permanent rules w i l l come i n t o force. Coming next to describe i n de t a i l the changes w h i c h are to be made i n the present posi t ion of the U n i v e r s i t y , M r . Glad­stone said t ha t , first of a l l , tho U n i v e r s i t y of D u b l i n wi l l be incorporated, w h i c h i t never has been y e t ; tho Theological F a c u l t y w i l l be separated f r o m T r i n i t y College a n i handed over t o the Repre­sentative B o d y of the Disestabl ished Church, w i t h compensation for vested interests and a charge for i t s maintenance. The Chancellor w i l l be appointed b y the Crown, and w i l l r e t a in his preseat func t ion of v i s i t o r of T r i n i t y College ; and the Vice-Chan- . cellor w i l l be elected b y the Governing Body . The" Queen's Colleges of Cork and Belfast , tho Roman Cathol ic U n i v e r s i t y , and the Magee College w i l l be­come colleges of the U n i v e r s i t y ; as w i l l probably other i n s t i t u t i ons also, t hough on th i s poh i t M r . Gladstone spoke i n a tone of uncer ta in ty , h i v i r g had no o p p o r t u n i t y of communica t ing w i t h tho persons interested. The Govern ing B o d y w i l l be thus con­s t i t u t e d -. I n the first place there w i l l bo 28 ord i ­na ry members, t o be nominated i n the A c t ; a l l vacancies t o be filled al ternately b y the C r o w n and by Co-optation d u r i n g the p re l imina ry period of ten years, and afterwards four members w i l l r e t i re an­nua l l y , one successor t o be filled u p by tho Crown, one by the.Council , one by the Professors, and one b y t h e Senate. * Besides these o rd ina ry members every college wh ich has 50 students i n statu pupillari mat r icu la ted i n the U n i v e r s i t y w i l l be a l lowed t o elect ono member of Council , and each college w h i c h has 150 such s tu ­dents may elect t w o members. The Senate w i l l consist of a l l doctors and M . A . ' s / w ^ o keep the i r names on the books, and w i l l lnc ludo those now qual i f iedfboth i n D u b l i n and the Queen's U n i v e r s i t y , w i t h ' s p e c i a l powers d u r i n g the first three years after 1S75 for the admission o f per­sons who have resided for a sufficiently long t ime i n the other colleges. The new U n i v e r s i t y w i l l be a teaching as w e l l as an examining body ; and, i n de­sc r ib ing the securities fo r conscience w h i c h w i l l be taken , M r . Gladstone said there wou ld be no Chairs i n Theology, i n M o r a l Phi losophy, or i n M o d e r n H i s t o r y . N o r would any student be examined i n the t w o l a t t e r subjects against his w i l l , and these subjects w o u l d be absolutely excluded f rom a l l examinat ions fo r emoluments . I n t o the financial p a r t of t he scheme M r .
