(LEFT SITTING

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This Day.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
The New General Post-cffice (Edinburgh) Bill was
read a third time and paned.
UNIVERSITY (SCOTLAND) BILL.
The bout° then went into committee on this bill.
r On clause 13 being meved, which proposed to deprive
the town councils of their rights of patronage, and in
wbicb clause an amendment had been suggested when the
house was, on a former occasion, in committee on the
bill,

Mr. E. ELLICE thought the arguments failed with
rePpeet to Edinburgh. He suggested an amendment
aving them the patronage, but controlling the exercise
of it for the protection of the public.
Mr. BLACK and Col. SYKES opplsod the amendment.
Mr. DUNLOP said the amendment would have a
larger scope tharawas intended, and he therefore must
()pose it.

-The LORD ADVOCATE took a similar view. He
thought it would aff3at the rights of private foundation
where the right of nomination had been vested in town
rntmcils.

After some further discussion, the amendment was
viithdrawn.

Sir W. DUNBAT, moved a proviso, to the effect that
the patronage hitherto excroiged by the town council of
Edinburgh should be transferred to seven curators, bur
In be named by the town council and three by the
University. Court ; the tqrrn of office tocbe four years.
Mr. COWAN opposed the amendment; but if it was
proposed as a compromise be should not stand in the
way. _
