UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL.-Mr. HenryLucas, the chairman of the committee, presided at theannual meeting of the governors of this hospital on the:21st inst., and moved the adoption of the report, by whichit appeared that 3228 in-patients had received the benefitsof the charity, against 2799 in 1892, whilst the numbersof out-patients were represented by 49,486, as against36,999. That large increase was explained in the reportas being due partly to the closing for two months of theMiddlesex Hospital for repairs ; it was satisfactory, how-ever, that the strain thus put upon the resources of theinstitution did not prove to be unendurable. The com-mittee had to lament a falling off to some extent in the.general subscriptions ; but, on the other hand, the sab-

scriptions derived from the People’s Contribution Fund hadincreased. No progress had been made with the buildingfund, as the amount hitherto raised had not reached thestipulated sum of £30,000. It was hoped that at the annualmeeting, which was to be held on June 13th, the friends ofthe hospital would come forward with substantial help inview of its financial difficulties.

Parliamentery Intelligence.HOUSE OF COMMONS.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21ST.New Bills.

LEAVE was given to introduce the following Bills :-Mr. Courtney:To amend the law relating to the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors. Sir H.James : To amend the Factory and Workshops Act, 1891.

THURSDAY, MARCH 22ND.Canxda and Pleuro-pneumonia.

Dr. Farquharson asked whether a communication had been receivedfrom the Canadian Government respecting the freedom or otherwise ofpleuro-pneumonia from the ports of that province.-Mr. Gardner saidthat papers on the subject had been received, and his attention wasbeing directed to their contents, but the information comprised inthem was as yet imperfect, and he was therefore not in a position tostate definitely what course it would be desirable to adopt in thematter; he would, however, take care that no unavoidable delayshould be incurred in dealing with it.

Gresham University.In answer to Mr. Carvell Williams, Mr. Asquith said that careful

attention was being paid to the recommendations accompanying thereport of the Royal Commissioners on the draft charter of the GreshamUniversity; what effect, however, was likely to be given to those re-commendations was a question which would have to be dependent to acertain extent on the unanimity shown by the different bodies inter-ested in accepting the suggestions and recommendations of the Com-mission.

Belfast Lunatie Asylum Arrangements.Mr. M’Cartan asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of

Ireland whether he was aware that a strong feeling existed among thegovernors of the Belfast Asylum in favour of having the asylums ofBelfast and County Antrim managed under one board of governors, assuggested before the Committee of that House on the Belfast AsylumBill ; and, whether, considering the advantages to the patients likelyto arise from such a course, the Local Government Board would take intoconsideration the advisability of carrying it out.-Mr. John Morleyreplied that he was informed that a proposal to consider the retentionunder the joint control of the town council and the grand jury of thepresent city asylum and the new county asylum for Antrim was nega-tived by 10 to 7. Under the provisions of the Belfast Asylums Act of1892, which constituted the city and county into separate asylumdistricts and required the appointment of separate boards of governors,it would not be competent for the Board of Control to sanction the re-amalgamation of the two districts.

THURSDAY, MARCH 29TH.The University Question.

Sir Albert Rollit asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether,and when, it was intended to propose legislation in pursuance of thereport of the University of London Commission, and what would bethe general character of procedure in reference to the subject.-SirWilliam Harcourt said this matter was under the careful considerationof the Government, and he was afraid it was impossible to introduce

legislation on the subject this session.
