Tau QUESN'S UNTVERSTTY SIINATN..--A report is anent, not amongst the "muses," but in well-informed circles, that, at this moment, there are professors of theo logy who are exerting private influence m some directions, is order to have themselves nominated upon the re-con ;traded se- ate of the Qu-en's lleiversity ! We advisedly sistain from indicating she denomination, or denomina tions, to which these candidates for university distinction belong ; but the proceeding is so monstrous, and so calcu lated withal, first, to directly sectarianism, and secondly, In the end, to destroy the senate of the Queen's University, as to require public exposure for the purpose of defeat ing at once its mischievous tendency. We would gladly hope that this report is without soy foundation in truth, and if so our notice of the matter can do no harm, and msy be productive of some good. If a single theological proles sorbeloogiog to ore denomination be appointed, every other denomination will be entitled to a similar privilege, and the new Senate will be a " happy family" indeed, if a set of an tigonistic teachers of sectarian divinity ale incorporated with its household. Besides, theological professors may be very eminent in their own special departments, while only moderately qualified in secular learning; but, in any on" horn th e very nature of their professional vocation, we hold them to be unfitted for the superintendence of scien rage studies in a professedly coo-sectarian institution. The teaching of sectarianism is the very business, and ape oifii mission, of this class of gentlemen, and their appoint ment as such would be, ipso facto, • direct importation of sectarianism Into the very constitution of the senate I Her Majesty's government, we trust, will be better advised than to listen for an instant to any such application as tLis, supposing it to have been made from any quarter, no matter what the latter may be. A senate male up of ele ments so essentially conflicting, and habitually on the watch to checkmate each other, would scarcely hold together two yam, io addition to its mischievous action upon the whole system of university examination.—Londonderry Standard.

He forgot the grandeur and maguificence of St. Peter's is the thought that there before him lay the body of Peter, the fisherman. The lower claims of Rome, be is old by an English clergyman, imagine that the English people are not Christians ; and he (Brother Igna tius) is sorry to say that the English visitors in Rowe lust now are not calculated to change this opinion. " Sometimes English ladies seem to forget their feminine modesty in their anxiety to get young monks to speak to them.* As to monasteries and monks Brother Ignatius has had a great treat • ' he has visited Biaediciticesi, Domini c-ma, Franciscans, Ca rthusian, and many others; and he has been delighted with the regularity sod holiness which he has witnessed. He had an interview with the Pop* on the " Peet of S. Scholastics,* having previously bad an argu ment with the professor of dogmatic theology at the Prop ped& (whose "arguments were loud and lengthy, but not in the least convincing"). As to the Pope, Brother Igoatios says :—" The Pope was most kind and condescending—l may say affeotionate—in his manner towards me; I shall never forget the sweet face of that dear, holy old man." The Pope extended his hand to him, but Brother Ignatius "bowed down sad hued the cross on his slippers." W -- —The week!' THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MANSION HOUSE.

Tai SURREY COUNTY HOerrrete—Onr readers will recollect that some mouths since her Majesty the gauss graciously informed the committee of the Sorrily County Hospital that she had instructed Mr. need, the emioent sculptor, to prepare a bust of the late Prioos Coe sort, to be presented by bee hfsjesty to the hospital. We understand that the bust arrived at the hospital on Tare day mooning is charge of Mr. Smith, foreman to Mr. Theed, who was instructed to place the statue in the position selected by the committee—in the vestibule, or chief en trance-hall, directly opposite the door. The bust, which is of life size. and of the purest Sicilian marble need for statuary . purposes, is two feet six inches in height, sod is mounted on an elegent coloured marble pedestal of [oar feat high, which makes the total height six feet six inches. The orikioal from which the bust is taken is in Windsor Castle; bat is said that this last produc- Moe is by far the more succsssf al of the two. and that it is un rivalled as a work of art. On the pedestal is the followirg thscription :—" This bort of his Royal Highness Prince Albert was graciously presented to the Survey County Hospital by her Majesty Queen Victoria, 1886." The boat will not be exposed to public view noel the hospital is opened for the reception of patients. Mr. Thud has at the gems time kindly nresrntad to the hospital a tinted plaster cast of his "Good Samaritan,* which is considered by com petent judges to be one of the finest pieces of sculpture of the day. The wards and other apartmen ts are now par tially famished, and Mime Edwards, the metros, who-for merly had charge of Naattaao's Warl, Guy's Hospital, for ten years, is actively employed in superintending the neces sary arrangements. The hospital will shortly he in a state to receive patients : but of course there must be a public opeeing and suitable demonstrstioes on the occasion.— West Surrey Times.
