w bo "enjoyed for some time a great reputation in bio country' as ,•• writer who had penetrated the jancot new sit. of the Cabinet." But, alas! for VA gio..p. and his reputation, other scholar. proved him to b e a plagiarist and an ingenious literary f gge r, " and the public were undeceived." The L a b o r of the present CHANCELLOR of the E l ,.tir.ut*Eki further declares " that a large volume slight written on literary impostors," and their o w n of deception—and ho dilates upon the fact that " we have had both forgers and purloiners, as will as other more obvious impostor., in our republic of letters." Nlr. lzeta Disitsaht's chief instances, wrote, relate mtht r to the clam of literary forgers then to literary thieves -- rather to the con structive impostors than to those whom blunt btu. Joirssou describes in his Dictionary as wok stt alers or book thieves who father another moor works upon themselves—thieves is literature who steal the thoughts of others.' Embalmed. therefore, in the f'uriosities of InsitAaht the Father we find the names and deeds of GEMELLI CalthEhl, UEURGE PeALMANAZAIL LACDER, Arnica of VI MIRO, MACPHERSON, and the great literary y e a impostor, llENiewix of 'lrtiet.s. Of such men our author discourses at some length, and with much gusto- -amusing his readers by many ingenious wr aps and facts gleaned industriously to illustrate his Bung.. But all his instances illustrate rather disho nest literary monomania. than degrading literary thefts.

In consequense of the severe measures now taken against political stereo by the police of Florence, the Marquis Cameshrili, of Ferrara, the Marquis Antaldi, of Yenttla , and Count Brancoli, of Bologna, have been ordered to leave Tuscany. FRANCE. PARIS, TUSIMAT The red re publican manifesto. are transcribed in all the Par is journals to-day, and the Count de Chambord's protest is given in all but one. The Assembler Nationale, by way of showing its disgust at the publication by the government of the socialist provocations to civil war and the Bourbon protest upon the same sheet, will not re-produce the latter till to-morrow. 'file other legitimist organ, the Union, takes a more direct mode of expressing the same feel- leg. Reversing theorder in which the Moniker printed the four anti-Bonapartist dacuments, it places the Chambord proclimatton in large type at the head of its columns, and then prefaces the other extracts from the utficial journal - by the following bold re marks; The ilosiiteur, with a taste which we leave the feelings of our readers to appreciate, inserts before this grave docu ment three other papers emanating from the haunts of so cialism and revolution. We for an instant recoiled from the idea of sullying the page which contains the declaration of the descendants of St. Louis, by plating these abominable manifestations 'ay its side. But while branding with the most vigorous enmity of our soul the ignoble and culpable sentiments of the party of crime, we ultimately thought that their hid. one contemt would only display to more ad vantage the grand. ur and majesty at the language of the heir of so many kings. Franc. can but learn a lesson when she thus sea lace to Lee the geni4s of royalty and the genius of revolution _ The Ik bats publishes all the documents without comment, but contrives to put the inconsistent con duct of the government in a glaring light, by placing the following extracts from pros incial journals im mediately after them : %sr read is the /'man Bream's*, under the date of Nantes Nov. 13— We spoke in one of our recent aumben of a seditious writing, ported at Nantes, and seined by the police. We learn twiny that a nurnher of similar placards, containing a specie of manifesto from the Coen de Chambord, and 'isnot Henry,' have been distributed *mom private iadi• mines. 'The prelect, having helm infeemed that M. Brody, the publisher of the &pintoes dal Fagot*, had been arrested in La Vendee, for having distributed eopien of this manifesto, this morning ordered the immediate arrest of M. Einerand de la ltochette, the principal editor of the Eipt'ronre. Perquisitions were instantly reads at the real lences of M. Names, the printer. and MM. Charles de Kergabiee and Favreau, writers M the journal. After these domiciliary visite, M. Ferrets was arrested." The following circular has bees sent to the subscribers to the newspaper : " Nanteo, Nov. 13.

Measures will be taken as loan as passible to present this state of things from being prejudi cial to the otitiocriben of the journal. " Your obedient servant, " For M. Reseraud do Ia Rochette, under denote, " J. llimetanoso." _ _ _ M. Granier de Cassagnao says in the Pup: We laud the government for having pulthshed the above papers without comment, but we do not feel called upon to be leo reserved. and we shall ezprees our opinion upon them in oar number of to-marrow. IN: Emil. de Girardin ;n the Pres.. says : We praised without restrietion the act which redeemed the preemies of France, by restoring Abd-el-Kseltr to the liberty which was solemnly promised him by Lieut.-Generel de Lamoriciere, and which promise was no less solemnly ratified by the Duke d'Aumsle, at that time Governor- General of Algeria. Here is another act which we will also praise without restriction, that which brings to the knowledge of all France the proclamations of London, Jersey, and Fruhsdorff; it is the act which befor e the ballot of the 21st November, 1852, transforming ten million electors into ten million jurymen, constitutes them supreme judges of the accusation thus rendered public. This act, which appears audacious, is even more than bold. But if the ;universal publicity which the four manifest os inserted in the Mosiiteur wil l obtain shall ant climionh the number of voting tickets on which will be written or printed the word "Yee"—if this pub licity shall have rather a contrary effect, what must henceforth be thought of the utility and necessity for restrictive and repressive laws in mitten of the prom? The Mortiteur of yesterday is implicitly the striking condemna tion of such laws. That condemnation is a memorable one ; it has been given by reasoa, and will once more be con firmed by experience. The -Vomiters, has resolutely en tered into the large and sure psth which the great judge of the slips and errors of the free press in the public cor onet:ft. That is • great act which iesesnas should inaugurate the era of a new policy ! Already has the government de eland that the political offenders condemned to forced resi dence in particalar please shall take part in the vote of the 21st November; the government will not remain half way, but will complete the measure by extending it to all exiles. Their return to France cannot have the danger which, according to the avowal of the government, their manifestos have not. Although M. de Oirardin thinks fit to declare that he sees in the unexpected measure of the gov,rn ment the inauguration of a new and liberal policy, he knows better. The truth is that it was felt neces sary to get up some excitement to rouse the people from the deplorable apathy which threatens the im perial regime with an unlooked for check at the coming plebiscite. Eight millions of votes at the least are required. The prefects, mayors, and their subordinates are expected to return 80 per cent. of the constituency of France as having voted " Yes." But if it should be generally notorious that half the voters stop at home, the difficulties in the way of making up the requisite tale will be appalling. Nothing could be better calculated to stinelale the bourgeoisie to vote than the exhibition el a termer of the red flag, and the insinuation that the4seur but the empire can save them from the I underaand, however, that the most :: of the socialist proclamations published by • , and which it sagaciously puts at the Lof all, is spurious. At least I know from good authority that it is repudiated by all shades of republicans in Paris. Th e second it admitted by the friends of the refugees to be the compositions of Lars Rollin, and they complain that the signa ture of that republican leader is suppressed for the purpose of confounding his address with the ams which they disown. It is true that both Lein Rollin's roclamation and Victor Hugo's are evisiestly red ole nt of civil war to strike terror into the hangeeinis, but their friend' draw this dis !ballet—they sai iee :e admit that the London and Jersey re do contemplate the over throw of Louis apoleon by viol en t means ; but we awe that the paper " No. 1," in the Monitore., which Ispeamete them as intending to guillotine all the hnewo- who have ewarn allegiance to him, is an invention of their enemies.

A Smyrna letter, dated Oct. 23, and published in the Vienna Lloyd, says: About the 16th of Novem ber the French Admiral Remain Deefosse• will arrive here from the Pumas with the entire French squadron, which is to occupy this station.

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 17, ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA. LIVERPOOL, ToESDAY. The British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Europa, Captain I'yrie, with the mails Lem the United States and Bntiah North America, arrived in the Mersey shortly before noon, from New York direct, which port she left on the 3rd instant, with 83 passengers and 93,000 dollars in specie on freight. The Europa encountered severe head winds throughout the entire of her voyage. She arrived at the Bell Buoy last art, but, owing to the extreme thickness of the west er,slie did not deem it prudent to attempt entering the river until the morning tido. She passed the Africa on the evening of the 3rd utf New York, and a large steamer, supposed to be the Atlantic, on the 14th. The l'acitie arrived out at New York at 8.30 a.m. on the lot inst. The chief item of importance by this arrival is the Presidential election, which took place on the 2nd instant. From the incomplete state of the returns, l an accurate statement of the numbers could not be given. Enough is known, however, to say that the democratic candidate, Pierce, has been returned by a large majority to till the Presidential chair; and the lion. W. 11. king has been elected Vice-President. Returns coming by telegraph from the different states report Pierce to have a majority in each (ex cepting Vermont, Massachusetts, Tennessee, and Kentucky). New York City alone gives 11,000 of a majority for Pierce. Tlw Boston Advertiser of the let state, that on the decease ut Mr. Webster, President Fillmore wrote to lion. Edward Everett, inviting him to tiil the office of Si cretary of State. Mr. Everett, having had the subject two or three days under consideration, on Saturday, gave an answer of acceptance. The If Republic in announcing the ac ceptance of Mr. Everett, says :—" It is an appoint ment which will meet the approbation of the whole country. lie has had the enviable honour of being recommended by Mr. Webster for the position next in rank and assimilation of duty to that which he is now called to till, and of having been endorsed for that position by Mr. Clay." The steam-ship Black Warrior, Captain Shufeldt, from Havanaah, arrived at Mobile us the 30th ult. The U.S. steam-ship l'owhattan, with Judge Conklin, the Mexican minister, on b oard, arrived at Havanna on the 23rd. The Judge, on pro ceeding to the American consul's house, was fol lowed by the rabble, who loaded him with all kinds' . of abusive and insulting language. Judge Conklin afterwards proceeded to the house of the Governor- General. We learn that in the interview with Judge Conklin, the Captain-General expressed his willingness to allow the Crescent City to land her' ' mails and passengers in future, but will not suffer Purser Smith to go ashore. Ile also apologised for past conduct, which he admitted was too hasty. The whole difficulty is likely, therefore, to be soon ami cably settled. The Powhattan sailed, with Judge Conklin, for Vera Cruz on the 28th October. A feirfal railroad accident occurredoii the rail road between New Haven and Springfield, on the 30th ult. On passing over the canal bridge at Windsor Locks, ono of the rails broke, and the last car of the train was precipitated into the canal. The car contained eighteen passengers, two of whom— brothers, named Billington, who had just returned from California, and were on their way home—were drowned. Some others were seriously though not fatally injured. HALIFAX, Ocr. 22.—Information has this morn ing reached the executive, that Com. Campbell of 11.1. steamer Devastation, has seized and de:ained at Port Hood over one hundred sail of Nova Scotia fishing vessels, driven in shore by stress of weather. The reason he gives is, that he believes them to be Americans, sailing with British registers. This is a sorry method of protecting our fishenes. Those vessels have been detained since the 13th lost, the coast all the while alive with fish. The loss to the owners, at a small calculation, must exceed 160,000 dole. A number of American vessels were in company ; these, with one exception, he allowed to go and actually fish within sight of our vessels, which were detained. The American which he had detained he threatened to sink should he attempt to escape. Jonathan hoisted the "stars and stripes," dared him to fire, and put to sea unmolested, but without his papers. Judge Dodd, and the Hon. W. A. Henry, a member of rho executive, who were attending court at Port Hood, in oompany with Captain Daly, of the provincial cruiser Daring, waited upon Com. Campbell, to remonstrate with him on his conduct, and he, as I am in formed, treated them with the grossest insult. The government have met the matter promptly ; and the Attorney-General, and Captain Seymour, Hoye' Navy, left town this morning for the scene of action. Too much credit cannot be given to Captain Daly for the manner in which he has acted on behalf of our people in this emergency. Captain Campbell's conduct is considered by every one as totally incom prehensible. The most charitable conclusion that can be arrived at is that he is out of his mind. The act itself is one of the most high handed ever com mitted within the memory of the oldest person here; and the effect of it will be to spread ruin broadcast upon a large and industrious, but poor, portion of our people. The excitement here is intense, and we are anxiously looking for further information, which, when received, I will forward. O. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NET Team, Nov. 2.

If they were to laveke that grace the the purpose of lu ing nothing it was an impiety in which he could nut coincide, and one which could not be too strongly condemned. He felt deeply the necessity of the revival of synodal retain in the church, for the want of it bad led to that which they all knew he viewed with feelings of great pain, the deci•ion of doctrinal matters by a civil tribunal. He earnestly hoped that their lordships would hanction the amendment which lied been proposed by the Bishop of Ozford. That amendment did not attempt to revive functions which could not be revived without the royal license. It merely had reference to a question of discipline, in which the members 'of the lower house were deeply interested, Ile trusted to see a measure founded upon that question, which would meet the approval of her Majesty and the houses of the legislature. Ile could say that the moment the church of England ceased her usefulness as a church, he would ccsse to belong to her. Ile should note() to the church of Rome, for ho could not contemplate a fall so hideous as that. Ile know that many defections bad taken place front the want of synodal action, and he feared that unless it were revived, many more defections would take place. After a few words from the Bishops of LONDON and LINCOLN. The Bishop of LLANDA Fr entered at considerable length into the want of church accommodation in various parts of the diocese, and contended that if the ordinary synodal ac tion of the church were revived, it would b e enabled to deal with such matters of discipline more satisfactorily than it could otherwise be done. The Bishop of o:rutin, after a short explonati.on, agreed to withdraw his amendment, if the archbishop would pro mile that the houses should not be prorogued immediately afterwards, hut that they should have time to consider the subject of the discipline of the clergy, to which allusieu had already been made. The Ancrinienor said be could not answer any such question. The Bishop of Osirnien said that if the house u ere pro rogued without the consent of the suffragan bishops present, it would be their painful duty to sit in his absence. After a short discussion, The Bishop of °iron"), by permission of the house, with drew his amendment. The Bishop of SALISBURY proposed an amendment, to the effect that it was nut necessary to petition her l'ilmesty fur leave to sit at present, but at the same time affirming that on a future day the revival of the active functions would tend to the welfare of the church. The amendment having been seconded was agreed to. A protest against the Papal aggreseion was adopted, on the motion of the Bishop of Oxford. A committee, engirding of seven bishops, Wl4 then ap pointed to confer with a committee of the lower house dur ing the prorogation Convocation, and to report next session, on the heads of a measure for the better carrying out of ecclesiastical discipline amongst the inferior clergy. The house then adjourned. THE LOWER HOUSE. The Lower House, adjourned from Friday, met' yesterday, at 10 o'clock in the morning, in the Jerusalem Chamber. After prayers, the house WWI constituted. Dr. Peacock, Dean of St. Ely's, as I'rolocutor, again presided over the proceedings. The attendance included about ninety to one hundred deans, archdeacons, doctors and re verends. The Prolocutor was summoned to the upper haute, where he proceeded with the assessors. On his return he intimated that he had received the commands of his grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, ordering thst :he lower house should remain in the Jerusalem Chamber until they received a message from the upper house. The minutes of the last meeting were then read over. The minutes enumerated the number and character of the petitions which bad been presented for and against the re- I vital of the active powers of convocation (those in favour being in a large majority); and then proceeded to state what resolutions had been poised ; the first being that the representation relating to matter gravamina reformanda, brought forward by Dr. Spry, be referred to a committee of grievances of the lower house; that the upper house be re quested so to order the prorogation as to allow of time for the house to receive and dispose of the report of such com mittee ; and, lutly, that the Prolocutor be directed to nomi nate the members to serve on that committee. A discuision took plus u to the system in which peti tions were, in future, to be got up. On the present occasion the many signatures to numbers of the petitions were signed al l in one handwriting, a eireum,tance accounted for by the feet that it has been the custom to consider it sufficient to have the petitions authenticated by putting the person who gets up the petition in possession of vouchers for the different signatures. But this being deemed unsatisfactory, it was resolved, on the motion of Dr. Wordsworth, that in future the petition have attached the autographs of the petitioners, but that it shall suffice to have the names pasted, on small slips of paper, which would be cut from the letters or other documents in, timating approval of the petition. The house then proceeded to the consideration of the order of the day, which was to hear and to consider the Proloeutor's nomination to the committee of grievances. The PROLOCUTOR gave the mama of the committee, vie. i—The Deans of St. Paul's, of Norwich, of Wells ; the Archdeacons of London, Middlesex, Lewes, St. Albans, Winchester, and Chichester ; Doctors Spry, Mill, Jelf, Wordsworth, M'Caul, and Jeremy ; the Revs. 0. Bloom field, F. Vincent, F. Massingberd, and the lion. and Rev. H. M. Villiers. (Hear, hear.) These names (added the Prolocutor) were submttied to him in obedience to the reso lution passed ; but it was for the house to decide on the ap propriateneei of the selection. Dr. JILT had heard his name read with, of course, great gratification ; for be was sensible of the honour proposed to be conferred ; and he would not hesitate to accept that honoar,provided only that he could be perfectly satisfied, on the faith of the house,on an or two particular points. licked undimmed at the former meeting, on the high authority of the Dean of Bristol and the Archdeacon of London, that it was competent to the house to nominate this committee, which should be a standing committee, and which would have the power legally to sit from time to time to inquire into these gravamina without any infringement of the law. He wished to have these assurances repeated, whether the committee could be to nominated, and whether it could sit without the royal sanction. The latter was the most impor tent element; for the Queen was constitutionally part of the convocation, representing, in fact, the lay element in the convocation. As a loyal subject, and as a member of the church, he desired that there should be no doubts on these matters. iieTteanOf BRISTOL referred to precedents in favour of his opinion that a letter of license was net necessary to the legality of &committee of the lower house sitting between sessions. Of this he entertained no doubt. But the ques tion they had to apply themselves to was whether they could sit by authority of their own. He did not think they could ; and this opinion he also substantiated by precedents. Dr. WORDSWORTH spoke to the same effect. Dr. 31.C•ol. was still unsatisfied that they could do any thing of this kind without license from the crown. Dr. Briar dealt with Dr. bl'Caul's objections. The cow mitts' wasn't a committee to oonsider doctrines, to alter the Liturgy, or in fact to come to any conclusion which would be a canon. It was only a committee to consider grievances on common subjects ; and if it wu not met by the disapproval of the archbishop, it might proceed to fulfil its functions without bused. The Rev. Mr. Woonoare quoted precedents for the pro posal of inch a committee without the license of the crown being ebtathed or sought. AIIMINISOII GRANT took the same view. Azelekeeen Bane, after agreeing hie partial wind demos ha the rascal view as le the legality of the subject, he appethemset laZi bb eag a iet le the approval and conni thew at the proceeded to dilate upon the memeekureses of eamien on which this com mie's, was idled into eziateece, end on the immense imgmthesse et the ;makes which would be re hash la them, aid ea which in some measure they thuld lave to theith It WM clear that however they Asa the seeembles. the chief business, end, there hos, the ark teepeadhility, would fall upon those who wen set the ohs were residents near the metro thus who would have to us the 41 1 O i rO7soUT;sotitled aot only to the conaidera doe et beam, bat wall, perhaps, be deserving of their payees Ar eseems.

They semureed, la appointing such a committee, that they repthesthei the whole of the aura, clergy and laity; but amaredly, they had no doles whatever to the character of a national synod. Where in that house were the representatives of the colon ies, ry the larger dominion of the church of England ? e the representatives of the church of Ireland ? last saw, the 'thumb of Ireland was solving the great prelim et the day—she was shaking to the hue that great Wader* et superstition which Rome had raised up in he lm...fjord wee a church like this to be repudiated on an when they come to discuss, and perhaps to change, the whole system, doctrine, and di sc ipli ne o f the reformed church - Dr. iVOILDIWOILTK here tolled the venerable archdeacon to eau. This did not pretend to be • national synod. It wee only a convocation for the province of Canterbury. (Sar, hear.)_ Bev. Mr. MLIMINCIPILD—Been the province of York b *saluted. (Hear, hear.) Aradeason °moan (after some further discussion as lo the nolonney of his objections) continued. It was at hint deee that the appointment of the committee would be the first step to the revival of the active powers of convoca tiontlined, if they entered en this path, let them beware lot should not be able to stop until all the elements of whisk aural was inmoosed bad been scattered and de stroyed. (" Oh, oh.") Re would not conceal his opinion, and that opinion was that this would lead to • schism in tho church, end might end in a separation between church and state. (" Oh, uh.") Even restricting the representa tion of the convocation to the province of Canterbury, he dosiod that that representation wu {adequate or sausfac tee,. The electors in that province amounted to 1.0,000 1 poems, yet only 1,760 had taken part in the election of proctors. As to the laity, it was notorious that they were opposed to the proposal which found so much evident favour with the majority of that house. But he took the primary objection, that they had no sufficient formal powers for what they were doing; that they were risking a collision with the crown, and certainly hazarding • conten tion with theirbishop. The Plol,oonOi corrected the namable speaker on ----o. this point. What the house proposed was entirely depend ent upon the approval of the upper house. The Archdeacon Ositnerr admitted, this being st, that a large portion of his objections were removed; and he would therefore leave his general objections, as to the coo sequences of what they were doing. With respect to the nomination of him•e!f to the committee, be fdt that the lemur and the responsibility must tall upon throe who were upon the spot, near London ; and, under the eircum stances, doubting his ability to attend, he belt himself compiled to decline the honour proposed to be conferred upon him. Dr. WILKINS (Archdeacon of Nottingham) rep'..el to Archdeacon Ovrhett. lie did not think that any of the general objections token could lie, inasmuch as this was:only a committee to consider and report, and not to decide. Dr. SPRY denied altogether the truth of the sissurriptiun that tho " ltvrerentatien" he had presented implied those grave quatiins which the Archdeacon of Chichester had raised. Mr. MASSINOBERD was satisfied generally with the in inner in which the conithioee nes c instituted, but he regretted the absence on tile list of the name of the Arch deacon of Taunton (Mr. Denison) who, witu himself (Mr. Massiegherd) was the original author of the " Itepresehta lion," although, alter it had passed from their hands, it hod nedergone very great alterations and improvemen's. 'This remark introduced a side discussion us to whether it was competent to any somber to propose more names fur the cetainittee, or in any way to alter the selection mode by the Prolocutor. The Producutor himself quoted precedent to show that he was only atehorised to draw up a list, which subsequently was subject to the approval, name by ',ante, el the house; and this was the ties, held by the Dean of Bristol and others • but, the right was agreed to b e w ave d, on the appeal of Dr. Russell, in order that there might be an appearance beh,re the public of perfect unanimity, in approving of the principle on which the Prolocutor had made up the com mittee. At the cntrsaty, on that ground. ul Mr. Noosing berd, Archdeacon (iarliett consent. d, amid cheerio, th.a his name should remain on the committee; and, on the other hand, the Archdeacon of Taunton requested. that Mr. Mal eingberd might nit press hie Lame on the attention of the house. Accordingly that suggestion was withdrawn. This emit:aide Sc, hug was for a time disturbed by The Rev. Mr. COTE, who said that he felt bound, how ever invidious the task, to take an obj.ction to an indivi dual name—that of Dr. Mill. lie respected the character, reverenced the piety, and admired the learning of that rev. gentleman ; hut it was notorious that that gentleman's DAM) was generally associated in the public mind with those of Archdeacon Wilberforce and Dr. Manning in connexion with a celebrated document which in efllet im pugned the supremacy of the crown—" Oh, ol,")—and he (Mr. Coxe) warned members of the inference that might bet drawn from including one of those names on this com mittee. (Hear, hear.) The convocation should not for a mument identity itself with opinions of the extreme cha racter held by Dr. Mill—opinions to which even the term treason might attach. (" Oh, oh," and contusion.) Dr. MILL (who was loudly cheered) hal only to observe in reply to the attack made on him that his opinions on the question of the prerogative of the Crown were to be Poled in the paper (Dr. Spry's) referred to the committee. (Cheers.) That was his sufficient answer. (Cheers.) But after such an attack he would not hesitate to beg that his name might bo withdrawn from the Prolocutor'e list. (Cries of "No, no.") And he would only further add that he did not know of any more "extreme opiuions " than those which tended to drive brethren out of the church. (Loud cheers.) The raoLuccTou would not do justice to his own senti ments of friendship for Dr. Mill, and of duty to the convo cation, if ho did not protest against what he rewarded as an ungenerous attack. (Cheers.) lie was sure that in the whole church of England there did not exist a more loyal or attached member than Dr. Mill ; and though be (the Prolocutor) admitted the perfect right of every member to propose changes in the constitution of the committee, yet, alter what had passed, he strongly felt that it would ace an imputation on their own fairness to allow Dr. Mars name to he omitted. (Cheers.) Mr. Cove explained. He had not attacked the charnel , r of Dr. Mill; he had only used his right of pointing out the inference which might be drawn from identifying the com mittee with that gentleman. lie had intended uo olleuet ; and he only regretted that the Archdeacon of Taunton had allowed himself to use intemperate language towards him. ('this was understood to refer to a swto foe., exclamation of disgraceful " used by Mr. Denison, who eat in Mr. Coxe's neighbourhood.) Archdeacon DENISOX—You used the word "treason able ;" and I say still that is a word not fit to be u.ed in this house. (Hear, hear.) The question was then put. There were but two " noes," and the list was accordingly agreed to; it being under stood that the Prolocutor would be a member es ()Melo of the committee. The Prolocutor then took up the repert of what had passed to the upper house, to ask the archbishop', pleasure when he would consider the resolutions. On the l'rolocutor's return, he notified that he had laid the resolu tions before his grace, requesting his concurrence in them, and that his grace had desired that they should be left with him for his consideration. Pending his reply, business was continued by Dr. Wounewoatu, who brought before the house the "Representation,"proceeding individually from himself, to which he had referred on the former meeting. The fol lowing is the document : " TO HIS °RACE TUE LOUD ARCHBISHOP OP CANTREBUYT, AND TO TUE RIGHT RIVIIREND BISHOPS HIS THR HUMBLE H.EPRESENTATION OP THE WHIRR UMW MENHIRS OP THS LOWER HOUllt UP CONVOCA TION OP Tll6 PROVINCE OP CAMTERIWILT. " Whereas, by the ancient usage of English convocations, it was provided that statements of matters requiring amend ments in the church should be teutiered to his Unice the President, and to his suffragans, by members of the lower i house, or by that house in its corporate character, and should be read by the reverend the Prolocutor in the upper house ; and whereas such statements were found henebeial to the church, es suggesting occasions for conference, and tending to promote the spiritual welfare of the people, we therefore now respectfully beg leave to approach your Grace and lordships, wit► the following representation: "We render hearty thanks to Almighty Go-1 that he has enabled the United Church of England and Ireland to re tain the true canon of Holy Scripture, and to receive the Scriptures as the rule of faith, and to acknowledge the three creed. as an authentic interpretation of Holy Scrip tare, and to embody them in her liturgy, and to maintain her apostolic form of church g ivernment by bishops, priests, and deacons ; and that be has graciously watched over her, and has ed to her these inestimable blessing+ to the present time. And we hereby declare our firm and unanimous resolution, in dependence on the Divine aid, to =not tin these benefits and to transmit them unimpaired to our pceterity. We recognise other signs and pledges of the Divine favour to the united church in the successful efforts which have been recently made to extend the Anglican episcopate to the colonial possewons and dependencies of the British crown, and in the signal evidence* of vitality evinced by the multiplication of churches and chapels, and parsonage' and schools, in almost all parts of our land, and in the mani festation of renewed seal among the clergy, and of increased intelligence among the laity of the church. " Thankfully acknowledging these enormities of the Di vine presence and blessing, we feel a strong persuasion that if the hindrances were removed which now partially restrain the free expansion and development of the spiritual ener gies of the church, she would be enabled, by Divine Pro vidence, to strengthen the institutions of the country, to promote the peace of the empire, to be an example in doc trine and discipline to other churches of Chriateadem, and to be a praise and glery in the earth. " With a view to this result, we feel it our duty to ob serve, in the first place, that although the population of England has been doubled during the last halt century, yet the number of the Engjish episcopate remains nearly the Name as it was three centuries ago. " For the purpose, therefore, of facilitating that cordial and Intimate intercourse between bishops, clergy, and laity, which is of primary importance to the church, and with • view to the administration of confirmation twith due fre quency and care, and for the diligent examination of can didates for holy orders in the church, and for the vigilant spiritual oversight of all, we feel bound to declare our con viction that it deserves serious consideration whether the interests of Christianity in this country do not imperatively demand a large reinforcement of the episcopate. " Ws would next proceed to observe that the tendency of the wealth, industry, and manufactures of England and Wales has been to increase and condense popu:ation in commercial cities which have far outgrown the means of the church for their pastoral superintendence, and thus a larp portion of the people has fallen into dangerous errors in speculation and practice, and that it does not appear to be possible for the church to grapple with this great evil, ex cept by a large accession of pastors in those districts, and we beg leave to suggest that for this end, and for the tem poral relief of the poor, it appears to be needful to consider whether it be not requisite to employ the regular apostolic loam mentality of the holy order of deacons with more energy and in larger numbers than has hitherto been the ease ___ "We look with gratitude and respect on the services ren dered to the British church and nation, and to Christendom at large, by the pious and learned labours of those eminent persons who have found the beet opportunities for theologi cal study within the venerable walls of our cathedral insti tutions, en in a special degree we regard the cathedrals and chapters of England and Wales as blessings preserved to us by Divine Providence, for the honour end dignity of re ligion, for the perpetual solemn sacrifice of daily prayer, and pray for aid and counsel to the episcopate, and (or the ad vancement of the spiritual benefit of the diocese in which they are situate ; cud we earnestly desire to see such resto rative measures of wise and temperate renovation as, having due regard to the fundamental principles on which cathedral institutions were formed, and to the important purposes for which they exist, would give full scope to their energies in promoting the welfare of the church United e ym a t c h h y u h c h o se:ere V t e ria r le g to ard wh w ic i h th th ree e l i r ia is as h b o ra f nc h h ear of t f e e b l e has been subject for many years, and we desire to express our gratitude to Almighty God for the hopeful prospect which appears now to be opened to the cause of pure reli gion in Ireland, through the instrumentality of the Irish Church ; and we earnestly pray thut the work of religious reformation in that country may proceed with increased success under the guidance of wisdom and charity, and with dutiful regard to the doctrine and discipline of the church; and in the abeyance of synodical functions, cud ever in the suspension of synodical forms In the Irish Churelksince the union of Ireland with England, we aro of opines that it deserves consideration whether measures are not now re quisite for restoring synodical organisation to that part of the United Church.
