Mr. W. D. Christie (our late Minister in Brazil), and
Dr. W. B. Hodgson, who resigned his seat on the Council of University College in consequence of the recent infraction of its =sectarian principle, have given notice of motions for the annual meeting of the College, to be held next Wednesday at 3 p.m., which are, we hope, chiefly intended to extract some explanation from the ma- jority of the Council, who stayed away from the recent special meet-
ing, of their reasons for acting as they did. Professor Key stated at the recent special meeting that the Council could not concur in any single statement of their reasons, because their reasons were complex, and various in: the case of mariousCounoillors. This difficulty, if the true one, might obviously be easily-removed-sby oral explanations from the individual members of the majority, and we confess we think the College has a right to expect such explanations before their term of orrice is reuewed. We should, for our own parts, regret to see any attempt made to renew the battle of the 2nd inst. A beating--is a beating, and should be accepted by the defeated party, —not of course without loss of confidence in the actual administration, which is inevitable, but -without renewing the attempt to force on the majoritrpriuciples which they :dislike, and have shown the requisite numerical strength to repudiate.
