TM Bishop of LONDON, after addressing Sir John Lamour mad th e address se follows: flier John Lawreees,—Ws, the usderolued, taking $ deep interest in the mall and religious welfare of the people of lodic, beg to approach you, es the mouton of your bonny news to your svei coun with oar most respectful and hearty ociegratulattona. I i tr s plumed Divine l'rovidence to relieve our nation from the solietsde tato which it was lately plunged by the slats el our laden Empire, and to fill us with thaskfahmeas for the restoreekm of tranquillity and the complete establishment of the royal authority in every part of the country. la you, Sir John, we, In common with the great body of your fellow-countrymea, gratefully recognise the inertunent raised up by en all-wee Providence, to beer a pert equal, if not superior, to that of say living man in this neemeOsbe-forgetten week* to the British nation. Placed as ease la a country where you were isolated by rebellion from the three presidencies of India, sad by nature from the sea, the ordinary reserve of a British governor—having a dan gerous frontier on one side, the chief seats of rebellion on the other, end a turbulent population immediately around you—it was your *Jugular hspeinees, in conjunction with the illustrious band of men teeirisd is your own school, not merely to hold the recently occupied Puejaub, but in a spirit of the noblest self-devotion to strip it of a large portion of its Europe's garrison, and bring all its resources and its old Ehnen soldiery to beer epos the omquest of Delhi and the recovery of our Indian empire. We rejoice that your valu able life has been preserved, whilst so many who shared with you the border and merits of the conflict have fallen before its close. Amami the very foremost of them your esintrymen will harts the great quelities, the ia epitimatie 'revere. and SY~jafeletb end of your illustrious brother, Sir Horsy Lawton. With especial gratifi cation we call to mind how, is the very - midst of the struggle, end of greater dangers than others have deemed sufficient, grounds for shrinking from every avowal of Christianity, you advised its frank profession. You laid down the principle that, 'Having endeavoured solely to scartain what is our Christian duty, are should follow it out to the uttermost undeterred by say comeidera tion.' Yen knew that the tolerant spirit and benign precepts of our religion ',led • yermannat guarantee for the rights of all, y in matters of conscienee, which could not be f by temporising policy. You knew that 'lf anything like ecetpulaon enters into our synem of diffusing Christianity, the rules of that religion itself are disobeyed. and we mist' sever be permitted to profit by our disobedience.' You hoes recorded your oonvieten that ' Christian things dem in a Christian way will never alienate the heathen. About each things there are qualities which do not provoke or excite distrosr, nor harden to resistance. It is when unchristian things are done in the name of Christianity. or when Christian things are dose in an unchristian way, that mienitief and danger are occasioned.' These words are memorable. Their effect will be happy not only on your own age, but an ages to cme. Your proposal that the holy bible should be relimad from the interdict wader which it is platted in government schools end colleges was true to the British principle of religious liberty, and faithful to your Chidden conwience. We fully concur in your statement that' any thew like Sh•Olgation of our own principles does not gene rate madame-sin us with the people. They only suspect us of scam hidden ulterior design . la such public acts you wete ambled, amid extraordeery cares of state, to honour Him who reigns over all potentates. And in the pre eminent pl we which the seem of your countrymen amigos lo you we remotes another proof of the principle, ' Them that honour Ms, I will honoar.' We offer our fervent lends, which we know we shall be joined by tens of thou hat God may long miens your life and still on time to employ you ea • great instrument of public good." Sir Jolts LtWILENCE, who we. received by repeabid cheers, said—My Lord Bishop, Ladles and Geadsmee„—l breartLy thank your lordship, and the many noblemen and gentlemen who have signed the address, for the high honour which they have done me. You have been good enough to attribute to me a large share of the credit which is esseldeeed du to those who fought to maintain the supremacy of Bag lead end secure the safety of her people, so sorely jeopardied in the late dreadful struggle in India. lam grateful for the good *Won of nry countrymen, and deem their euffmges the highest honour I could gain. (Hear, hear.) There were, however, in that crisis many men by my side who we fairly untitled to participate in this distinction, and whom, e relois I have en4eavoured to bring Mute,. (Cheers) All, however, which we (IA was no more than our duty, and even our im mediate interest. It was no more than the lir comities of our position impelled us to attempt, Our sole climes of escape ern to resist to the lest. The path of honour, of duty, and of safety was clearly muted out for us. The desperation of our circumstances nerved oe to the uttermost. There never, perhaps, was an occasion when it was more truly necessary to win or to die. (Rear, hear.) To nee tie weeds of my heroic brother at Lncknow, It was incumbent on as " never to give is:' We had so retreat, no scope for compromise. That we were ematusliy successful against the fearful odds wide\ beset as was alone the work of the great Ood who so nesredenlay vouchsafed His protection. Nothing bat a Series Oinked's saved it.. To Him, therefore, alone Is the glory due. (Applause.) I ree so valid reason for obang;ng the en oho which I expressed on the expediency of allowing the Bite to be rend in all our schools and colleges In India by those who &tire to do so. (Loud cheers.) Far from apprehending evil from this liberty, I believe that the results for some year. would be wanly perarptible. In regrew of time no doter*, however, the seed which use sows would bring forth frail. (Ilear, bear.) It is sot possible to introince western learning and inane Into Indio yellow leading its Folds to tbrow off their own faith. (Cheers.) If this position be correct, surely we are bound to give them facilities for acquiring a knowledge of the true faith. This is oar true policy, not only an Christens but as statesmen. In doing our duty towards them we should neither infringe the rights of ecusci. nos nor Minim with the free will of into, while we should be work ing in the true way to maintain oar hold on ludia.

CRIBTAL PALACZ. The Handel festival terminated yesterday, as Mr. Crumml•s would express it, in • "puled blase of triumph." Everything, in short, combined to mike the bat dare per formance the culminating point in the masks' history of the week. The weather was superb, clear, bright, and runny, but at the same time cool and pleasant, a gentle gale keeping the atmosphere in motion during the greeter part of the day. So firm, in fact, was the weather, that everyone made sure that her Majesty would come, seeing that • regular " Queen's day" had been provided for her convenience. Her Majesty wee maildeatly expected, and the expectation had no doubt • great deal to do in attracting the vast crowds that filled the Crystal halls. Than, it wes the last day, and the Oratorio selected was that one which it was considered would bring out with the greatest effect the resources of the grebt choral army. Thousands were amongst the cons palsy who, by the time these observations appear in print, will be fax away on the rail, flying north, south, east, and west, at the average tab of thirty miles an bony. The interest, too, bed been a growing me ever since the first rehear's'. The nineteen and odd thousand who visited the palace on this day week no doubt abonisted the wonders they had heard, sad the press did lb bay r ibiligally reporting the effete of earshimeceselve perbrnience. All these causes combined acted powestally on the public curiosity, and the result was the greatest smenshbege yesterday that had ever bean collected within walla on • similar occasion. Up to the very last moment the Queen's presence was looked for, but when the Prince Consort and the royal Princesses Alice and Helens, accompanied by the Count de Flanders, made their appearance, the hearty cheer they received showed that tho vast audience were willing to bear their disappoint ment with their usual good humour. The Prince was plainly attired in morning dress, and looked exceedingly well, and the toilettes of the Princesses exhibited the usual simplicity aced good taste of the ladles of the royal family. The court party were received by Sir Joseph Paxton, the Directors, the Manager, Mr. Rowley; and Kr. Grove., the Secretary, by whom they wore attended to the royal box. Immediately on their arrival Mr. Costa gave the signal for the National Anthem, which was, as usual, magnificently performed, and the effect of the audience standing, and all with their faces turned towards the royal box, was certainly the most striking that was produced in the whole of the day's pro ceedings. At every different stage of the journey, the ter minus of which was the Crystal Palma, ample evidences were offered that the house was to bee bumper. The traffic of London-bridge wee seriously impeded all the morning, and Use Borough presented a dense mass of vehicles of all descriptions, standing at what seemed to be a hopeless dead lock la the large area that surrounds the recently erected clock tower. The rail. way swims and platform were continuously crowded, but the only delay that occurred in the filling of the trains arose fr tan the occasional jamming of the doors:through the eagerness of more than ordinarily stout peasengers. Aa on previous days, the great preponderance of ladies amongst the company was a noticeable fact, although the ler& of the cautious peanut would have formed ample material for • aeries of ride corps. But it was at the Palace entrance that the presence of an immense throng was most perceptihle. It appeared that all the town depots had been exhausted of their stock of tickets on the previous day, and consequently there was quite a ma on the small bureaux at the estrum*, which had teen placed there merely to meet the ease of the taw visitors who might have forgotten to supply themselves to town. They were obliged very soon to stop, not paying, but receiving, and consequently no remedy was left but to pay at the turnstile, an expedient which we saw adopted in several CUM. Once passed there, how ever, the internal arrangements were so complete % to prevent any further confusion, and the interior filled with great rapidity. On the previous days, although the de clared numbers showed an immense attendance, in looking down from any of the galleries, one could tee many large patched, of the well-known yellow chairs without occupants, but yesterday not • single empty chair could be noticed, in addition to which, both naves seemed to he filled down to the end., and the transept galleries up to the roof were all quite crowded. Nothing was more canspicuoua than the politeness and facility with which the experienced stewards of the flamed Harmonic Society placed every one in his or her aeat, or the obliging ingenuity with which they smoothed over diffimlties in the aces—and they were many—in which visitors had lost or forgotten their tickets. As there were upwards of 200 of these gentlemen stationed at the different pointa of the audience portion of the building, it would be kommible to name them all, but we cannot refrain from particularising those who had charge of the north transept gallery, which came most knmedistely under our notice. In this gallery Mr. Davis Sims, Mr. Thomas Mitchell, and Mr. Peeler, were indefatigable in their attention to the com pany, nor did they for • moment allow their enjoy ment as experienced musical amateurs to interfere with the rather onerous duties which they had gratuitously under taken. In this gallery lArd °version° and a large party, the Rev. Mr. Graham (brother to Sir James), Mr. Shaw Lefever, and other erell•known musical amateur& attended the festival been the first, and their testimony wee unani mous se to the obliging courtesy of the stewards. As every thing consented with so great a mush al event es the Handal Centenary Festival of 1859 la worth recording, snd may be useful for the prefaces of 1959, we may mention that amongst the most prevalent topics of convertatito in the interval' of the music were the wonderful dramatic truth and power of Mr. Sims Reeve's "Miring, the extraordinary volume end sweetness of a single female voice in the chorus, the poseessor of which nobody could find out, and Mr. Harper's trumpet performanos at the second day's festival. To play the trumpet wall Is • hereditary gift in Mr. Harper; but of the company present few had perhapa heard his; father, sod the completeness with which his brilliant peaformances on hie singu larly brilliant and powerful Instrument tilled the immense bundler, made his solo a general topic of conversation with the public, while it elicited the unqualified commendation of the e01:100ilaellre. The effect of a trumpet on • martial and manly people is extraordinary, and the manner in which Mr. Harper's not.., as they rang through the building, moved end eleirified the audience entitles then, to a rocntim quite distinct and ep art from strict musical cnticism. This gentleman's performance was in fact one of the most promi nent and most commented upon feature in the week's proceedings. ' Before we proceed to speak of the musicAl programme, there is one bit of statistical information with which we were obligintly favoured by Mr. Strang'', the head of the so : freshment department, sad which we feel sore • ill not be without its interest for • public anxious to know every par. flouter about the great festival, while the antiquary of • handled years hence will pore over it with unqualified de. light. We find, then, that during the festival the consuom. ties of creature comforts was something as follows :-1,600 dozen sandwiches, 1,200 dozen pork pies, 400 dozen Syden ham pasties, 800 veal and ham pint, G5O pigeon pies, 480 hams, 3,609 chlckens, 120 balonline of lamb, :240 fore quarters of lamb, 150 galantine of chicken, 60 reined game pica, 3,062 lobster salads, 3,825 dishes of salmon mayonnaise, 300 score of lettuce, 40,000 bans at • penny each, 25,000 ditto at two pence, 32,219 ices, 2,419 down " beverages," 1,162 ditto al* and stout, 403 Crystal Palace puddings, 400 jellies, noes tots of roast and boiled beef, 400 reams, 350 fruit tut", 3,606 quarto of tee, coffee, and chocolate, and 485 tongues. The consumption of wines, which was 01101111011 P, hat act bean ascertained when our amount was made up. To con sume all these good things there were Freesia—on Saturday, 19,680 prams; Mondsy, 17,109; Wednesday, 17,648 ; and Friday, about 27,000, being considerably upwards of 30,000 is excess of the numbers attending the previous festival. It will be an interesting task for the Statistical Society to analyse and appropriate the various hams of the above bill of fare and give a fair portion to each of ths company, and the traveller from New Zealand, when pon dering as he sits on the mitred arch of London-bridge over the probable character of the people who hare passed away, will be forced to admit that, smoagst other evidences of their high civilisation, a tolerable profichncy in the Mena of good living might fairly be reckoned. kraal is' • Eppl, to which the last day of the Fee- Festival was devoted, is • series of choruses (iotermingled with a mall prorortion of solo pieces) descriptive of the plagues Inflicted by liana upon tke Egyptians dating the captivity of the breathes. the &Feature of the Israelites from the had of their oppressor', end the destruction of the hoot of Pharaoh, by whom they were pursued. These choruses are of immerses power. Most of them are what is called "double"—that is to say, the voices are divided Into two choke, each in four•part harmony, and complete In Itself ; so that they may be considered as gigantic vocal &NU, sometimes alienating with and responsive to each other, and sometimes joining in one great men of sound. They are, in technical phrase, antiphonal—a form borrowed from the ecclesiastical service, in which from time Immemorial the voices have answered to each other from the opposite sides of the choir, the modern term anthem bring only a corruption of the ancient word antiphotie. This form of composition is maculated to produce powerful effects, but they are in practice imperfectly realised. la order to produce them the two choirs ought to be so separated that the sound oi each may be perceived to come from a different quarter. It is only when this is done that the full effect of a double chorus as be produced. Let the voices be ever so numerous the harmony can only be In four (or occaaionally five) real parts • and a double chorus, when all the voices join, and reach the ear from the same direction, however it may look on the pages of the score differs very little in effect from an ordinary chorus in tbi usual number of parts. In our performances of Israel is Egypt the effect of the double chorus is attempted to be pro duced by a special di►tribution of the voices in the orchestra; but it mama impracticable to divide the two choirs so that the colisetith voices of each shall reach the ear in one distinct and separate IDYL. Certainly It was one remarkable feature of the performuce of yesterday, that the Teat space occupied by the orchestra enabled the fn. tended effect to be more nearly realised than could be dons la a more confined locality. How this was managed in Handers owe day we know not. But it is certain that the mighty muter placed in his scores stories , done conceptions which existed only In his own imagination, and sin but imperfectly realised at the distance of a hundred years' Certainly, of all Handel's works Israel in Egypt is the one which ear the most in dame° of its age, as it was of all his works the one which, in hie own day, was the beet sue esesfal. Knowing, as the world now knows, its wonderful gradates, it is sad to learn how coldly It was received sad bow completely it was neglected. It was through the reception of brad in Egypt that Haadel was driven by the Dodders of Dulness "to the Hibernian shore." It was first perforated on the 4th of April, 1739 ; a second performance was announced to take glens on the following week ; and poor Handal wu fain to intimate that "the oratorio will be shortened and inteended, with songs." These were Italian wogs, sung by as Italian pima donna. What it mast have cost Handel to make such a sacrifice to the frivolity of the age! But even Signora Fratoesina's Italian soap would not do. A third per was given, and a fourth we/ announced; but when the day came it was Intimated that Israel in Egypt had been advertised by mistake, itAl that Easel would be given in its stead. Handel lived for twenty year after this ; and during that long period Israel in Egypt was performed five times at wide intervals, and apparently with no greater success. From Handel's day to our own it ap pears to have slept in oblivion. It was revived by the Sacred Harmonic Society in 1839, but with °minion, and interpo lations; and it was not till the year 180 that that society ventured to give the work in its in'egrity. The experiment succeeded, sad Israel is Egypt has not only become a "stock-piece" at Exeter-hall, drawing together multitudes whatever it is performed, but is now indispensable at every festival and music-meeting of any importance in the Meg dom. So great is the admiration with which it regarded, that many dour amateurs, in their enthusiasm, are disposed to place it at the head of all Handel's works, not even excepting The Messiee—an opinion from which we mast entirely &swat. As a work of ate it Is wesupasuble ; nothing oat exceed the grandeur of coneeption and profound ocatrepuntal skill dbplayed in the colossal choruses; nor can anything be more leepreedve than the sense which they unmet the Divas power. exhibited in its most awful and terrible aspects. But the aboogest feelings which this work can excite are feebleness itself, compered with emotions awakened by The Messiah. The performance of a work so often heard and so well known affords little room for particular remarks; for such ' marks could only be repetitions of what has been elan said before. It was the greatest performance that the world has ever heard. It excelled that of 1857 In the greater strength and man complete oegantsation of the choral band, the care bestowed on their discipline, and those mechanical improvements in the orchestra which have so wonderfully increased the power, clearness, and beady of the volumes of sound which rolled through the vest expanse around we, and seemed to all the vary air we breathed. The solo pieces are aver inconsiderable portion of so great a work. They form • very small part of the composer's design, which was to paint the most lawful pkenomena of Raton by greet coaibinaticas of monad ; and he really sterna to have bestowed very little care as them. Indeed, excepting the grand burst of exaltation from Miriam the Prophetess, " Sing ye to the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously," which Clara Novelle gives with each wonderfal power, the sirs are far below the level of the choral portion of the work. But, each as they are, every luau was done them by the above lady, Miss Dolby, Ma. dame Loneness Sherrington, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Weiss, and Signor Bellied. 8o ended the drat centenary commemoration of the death of Handel. Will the people of England wait another hun dred years for a ascend performance of the great mutel'a music on a scale of similar magnitude P barely not. It Lite now been proved by experiment that each a gigantic achieve ment la practicable ; and unites the experiment is repeated, and foe the bendit of the present generation, it will hove boa mile to little purpose. The excitement of this Handel time, we (Athenfrum) understand is to be prolonged elsewhere in London than in the Crystal Palace. The {nommen of the Handel College not long ago announced as in contemplation, meditate, as a commendng appeal to the public, a perform tate on the largest scale in her Mirjesty's Theatre; to which it is more then possible that Madame Ooldsohmidt will lend an aid by singing. They intend also, it to said, to organise a series of similar petformance in the principal provincial towns. CHOIR BENEVOLENT FUND BOCIETT.—Divine service Ina celebrated on Thursday morning at Westminster Abbey is aid of the fond. at the above society. A very numerous congregation assembled to listen to the selections made from the works of the great composers of English church music, which were most effectively performed. A collection In aid of the toads of the society was made at the door. The design of the society is to secure to the widow. or orphan. of members a certain sum at death, and also to de for them and the members such assistance in times of need or affliction as the funds of the society may permit. To provide funds annual oontributitho see made by the organism and lay clerks connected with the cathedral and collegiate choirs, and as appeal is put forth to the sympathy of these who are interested in choral worship.

The following correspondence I; taken place between Mr. OtEllWell, chairman of Mr. Gladstone's com mittee, sad Mr. Memel, chairman of the committee of the Marquis of Chandos : " Mr. Gledstone's Committsoroom, Oxford, June 22. " My deer Mansel,—You and thole in whose name you write would certainly desire, in laying your indictment Mr. Gledstoos, to keep strictly within the bounds stalest 4th and justice; you would, perhaps, even dial» that troth and justice should be somewhat tempered by generosity and equity, when you propose to the univer sity to dimities from her representation, as tor grees cols out_ due, one of the greatest churchmen and citizens of England on account of his course in what all will allow to k• trying and perplexing times. But the indictment to which Isle your name appended contains what I must beg leave to stay aro material errors of fact. The indictment con side of two counts. The first count is—' by his acceptance of attics Mr. Gladstone must now be considered as giving his definite adhesion to the liberal party, es at present reoen structed, and as approving of the policy of those who over threw Lord Derby's government on the late divides: This distinctly implies that Mr. Gledstone's acceptance at aka under Lord Palmerston involves his adhesion to • new set of political principlee, and sa abandonment of his former set; and that he has thereby teen guilty of an act of tergiversation disgraceful to his character u a public man. But there ie nothing to warrant any such assertioe. Did Lord Derby abandon or modify his principles when he proposed to take office with Lord Palmerston as his colleague, and to hold it, as he is effect acknowledged that he would have held it, by Lard Palmerston's support in January, 18.54. The second count is, 'By his vote on that divisioe Mr. Gladstone upraised his confidence in the administration of Lord Derby. By accepting ottloe he now upraises his con/Maros in the administration of Lord Deeby's opponent and successor.' This, I beg leave to sub mit, is quite contrary to the facts. Mr. Gladstone simply gave a silent vote against turning out the government of Lord Derby by • vote of want ef confidence at that lime end under those circumetanees. The same vote was given by liberals who had been returned after • contested election, notes feeling confidence in Lord Derby's government, bat as pledged to oppose It on all questions of principle. The incoasistency of conduct. therefore, with which you here charge Mr. Gladstone bad no existence, and your charge falls to the ground. I submit them remarks to your setae of truth and juttloe.—l am, my dear Wessel, yours very faithfully, " R. Gasswrxt, " Chairman of Yr. Gladstone's Committee. " The Rev. H. L. Manuel, Chairman of the lii Marquis of Chanties's Committee." "Marquis of Chandoe's Committee Room, Oxford, JUDO 23, 18.:59. " My des, Greswell,—The sta'ements which you describe sal material errors of feet,' are, as I understand them, only inferences from facts. The facts themselves are not denied by any one. The inference*, of course, denote merely the Impression made by those facts on the minds of these by whom our circular was hotted. The tette are simply these That Mr. Gladstone voted with the late govern ment cn Lord Hartington's motion ; end, secondly, that he has accepted office in the present government. The infer ellen se stated In our drunter are, Ist, That Mr. Gladstone would not have joined Lord Palmerston's government without at least a general assent to the policy which that government represents; end secondly, that he could not have voted against a motion of no confidence had he not felt some confidence. The farther inferences are yawn, and not ours. We have not said that Mr. Gladstone has been guilty of an ace of tergiversation disgraceful to his character as a public man.' Bat we believe that his political principles are not these of the majority *ibis constituents, sod that the present orlala has brought out that difference very tlistinetly. On these grounds we have tell It our duty to give the electors of the University an opportunity of declaring whether inch • dif ference really exists or not. The aseertion that Mr. Glad stone exprtsted confidence in the late ministers is, I think, aetifted by the fact of his vote, as well as by the general support whkk he had given to them on previous occasion'. But we did not assert that such 000fidence amounted to an attire approval of all their unseen*. The word confidence was taken from the terms of Lord Hartington's motion, and need imply ao more approbation on the part of Mr. 01• A• stogie than its contrary implies disapprobation on the part of those; who supported the motion. The exact &monad wasprobably vory different in the minds of different members. The majority of Mr. Gladstone's constituents have, perhaps, supposed his confidence is Lord Derby's government to be grader than It evilly was. Ido not say that Mr. Gladstone has intentionally contributed to this error; It was but • na tural inference from his recent political course. But I be lieve that it wee in a great degree to the existence of this impresekn that Mr. Gladstone owed his unopposed return on two occasions within the preeent year. You now defend Ma consistency by extenuating the amount of his confidence. I shall not digitate the validity of your defeat*, but it must be remembereo that, in whatever proportion you lessen the amount of Mr. Gladstone's confidence in the late conserve• tire government, in the same proportion you separate him loom those political principles which are generally supposed to to held by the majority of his constituents.—l am, my dear Gressel], yours very faithfully, "IL L.

NORM - WM—Yesterday this city was placarded with pensive= red bills, announcing that the conservative part hel determined on contesting the sestrendseed vacant by t he acceptance on the part of Lord Bury of the °Moe of Comptroller of the Royal Household. The meeting at which this decieion was arrived at is described as "numerous and iellusentiel," end the resolution declaring that a contest should be undertaken and carried to • poll wee moved by Sir Samuel Bignold, aid seconded by Mr. 0. Dement. Sir Samuel Bignold, it will by remembered, sat for Norwich from December, 1864, to March, 1867, and onsaccesefally contested the representation at the last two elections. It is understood, however, that he declared at the meeting held on Thursday evening that other coididates—of whore there were two under consideretion—failing he would again offer himself. No positive refection wee made by the nes Bag, which stomped for two dap. This more bent hes been the subject of much discussion, and some of the liberals regard it r merely an attempt to force on a compromise in reference to the petition presented setsitist the return of Lord Bury tad Mr. Schneider two months since, and to secure for Sir Samuel Bignold one of the mate. In that case, it is added, the return of Lord Bury would not be opposed. The liberals are preparing for • struggle. On Thursday evening • second meeting was held at the Royal Hotel, but the weather being extremely warm, and the atten dance vary large, it was resolved to adjourn into the open sir. Lord Bury wee present, end • resolution ear/reifies of confi dence in him having been moved by Mr. Sc h eer and seconded by Mr. Tillett—who declared their cordial approval of the new government—hie lordship addressed the useintely.

In regard to foreign sears, he said that be believed the policy of strict neutrality which the new government had undertaken to observe wee most likely to suetato the dignity and honour of England, to preserve to the country her high place among the nations of the earth and to make her commis reapeoted throughout the world. B e li ev i ng thi e , he could not do otherwise than accept Mee under Lord Palmerston. Howse glad that the conduct of our foreign religions bad been removed from the hands of Lord blaimeabary, and transferred to a stet , smart who for 30 years had been known as the champion of civil and Yell &item liberty. The government of Lord Derby had leased towards the side of Atotrie : while they said that they &deo eared the strictest neutrality their acts indica'ed a preference for one of the contending powers, sad • ministry which preteeded neutrality and yet acted in a contrary spirit was unworthy the confidence of the country.

The insufficiency of our church accommodation, and of the number of the clergy to meat the exigencies of the t resent time, is then referred to, and an earnest hope expressed that the revenues and endowments tel the church may not be farther diminished by the abolition of church rates. Occasion is also taken to give utteranoe to the conviction that one of the most effectual means of ex tending the blessings of the national church is an extens io n of the episcopate, ea also to deprecate any change in the Book of Common Prayer.

A report upon the Orders of two justices relative to same dry foreign lunatics chargeable to the City, and for pay ment of expenses incurred, amounting to 991. 12e. 6d., having been brought up, Mr. Aldermen COPELAND moved its adoption, at the same time expensing a hope that the attention of the represent/I. lives of foreign powers in this country would be culled to the fort, that while foreigners residing in England, who be come lunatic, were maintained here afterwards, Englishmen becoming lunatics after residing abroad 30 or 40 years were at our mat over here end landed in a state of destitution.
