I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has yet advised Her Majesty in reference to filling the two vacancies on the Senate of the University of London occasioned by the deaths of Earl Granville and Sir R. N. Fowler; and, if not, whether, in submitting names to Her Majesty, he will have regard to the important vote of Convocation of the University, on 12th May, and the expressions then given as to the constitution and future conduct of the University?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. MATTHEWS,) Birmingham, E.

Yes, Sir; I have advised Her Majesty with reference to these two vacancies, and Her Majesty has been pleased to approve of the two distinguished gentlemen whose names were submitted to her. They are Sir Mountstuart Elphinstone Grant-Duff and Professor Vines.
