FROM OUR LONDO',I CORRESPON-T)ENIT LONDON, SATt'RDAY I'TsmKa. I believe that Mr. Osborne Morgan's a aiendment |o the Universities Bill, with the intent of abolish- ing clerical fellowships, will receive the support of many of, if not all, the Liberal leaders. It was pro- posed at first to raise the question on t'ne motion for going into committee on the Bill. But it was found that an instruction could not be moved when the Bill itself allowed the question to be raised. A new clause is therefore proposed and though it will be rejected, it is certain to lead to a very interesting discussion. The Conservatives mean to try and win both seats in South Hants at the next General Election. Last time two Liberals, Mr. Cowper-Temple and Mr. Swanston, stood the latter was only third on the poll, and the Conservative, Lord Henry Scott polled nearly 1,000 votes more than Mr. Cowper- Temple. It is thought, therefore, that the Conser. vatives stand a good chance of returning two men, and the second candidate is Mr. Francis Compton. Be ia to make a speech at the dinner of the Con- sei wative Working Men's Club, at Southaea, on the 28th. Dr. LyonPlayfair is the subject of a very interest ing sketch in the Dublin University Monozine Born in India, and educated partly in Scot- lind and partly in Germany, the wonder is •hat the Doctor ever left chemistry for politics.
