UNIVERSITY REFORM.—It appears that the party wbo
are.favourable to the opening of the Universities to the
public, without the distinction of sect or creed, are
bent on making a vigorous effort to secure their object
by means of the Ministerial bill or bills, by which the
question is necessarily raised. A memorial, signed by
more than 100 members of the House of Commons,
including both Churchmen and Dissenters, has been
presented to Lord John Russell, pressing the matter
upon him, and it is understood that the support to be
given to Ministers, by at least some of the subscribers
to this document, will depend on the course taken by
the Government. The members who have thus
moved are likely to be well supported out of doors,
the Executive Committee of the Society for the Libe-
ration of Religion from State-Patronage and Control
having sounded the key-note, by passing resolutions,
urging the Dissenting bodies throughout the country, and
Dissenters generally, to unite in bringing to bear upon
the Government and the House of Commons all the in-
fluence they can command for the attainment Of their
object. They assert that the exclusion in question vio-
lates the principle of religious liberty, and operates to
the serious injury of Dissenters, who are thereby de-
prived of valuable educational facilities, are disqualified
for the occupancy of many public posts, and are shut out
from many social advantages: Parliament being ab
gut
to legislate with a view to a more complete development
of the educational resources of the Universities, and
their adaptation to the present wants of the people, the
time has come when, in their judgment, the removal of
this grievance should be imperatively demanded.
THE SCREW-SHIP HIBIALLYA.—From what we have
heard of the circumstances attending the collision be-
tween the Himalaya and a sailing-vessel near Gibraltar,
no blame is attributable to the screw-ship. The Hima-
laya, seeing the sailing-
vessel coming down towards her,
took r he proper precaution of porting h6r helm, but the
unfortunate sailing-vess, I put her helm a starboard in-
stead of following the Hitnalaya's example, The come-
quence waq inevitable.
