By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab_ contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

Yesterday morning both Houses of Convocation assembled at Westminster. In the Upper House a report was presented on the sub ject of missionary bishops, and the 29th Canon as amended, was finally agreed to, and ordered to be signed by both houses. us by the Upper House. It would not be right or wise, nor indeed is it morally possible, for us to shrink from giving that answer. The report of the committee is one means of enab ling us to give that answer. If we had been asked whe- ther, in our opinion,- it is advisable to proceed to a synodical judgment in the case, it would have been our duty to answer that question also. But the tipper House has not asked us that question, and it is clearly not of the province of this house to originate it. Itrestswith the bishops of the synod, after receiving the opinion of the house that there are suffi cient grounds for proceeding, to decide whether or no it is ultimately advisable to proceed, and what the form of pro cedure shall be; That they will proceed there appears to be no room to doubt, but if they do not proceed they will tell us why. If they do they will ask our concurrence in that pro cedure as shaped bytheir hands. That would be the time, if anyone had doubts as to the advisability of the proceed ings, to ask this house to concur with him in a representa tion to the bishops to that effect ; at present any such course is not pertinent to the matter , in hand, and would be, as I regard it, an , undue and unseemly interference with the functions of the house of bishops. lam not without a hope that what Ihave now said may serve to show that there is really no room for either of the amendments to the resolu tion of which notice has been given, and thcre is no room for anything but a direct negative; that the issue raised is a simple issue, that no one is committed to the report except. the committee, ant that to affirm the resolution reserves to every member the option of discussion upon the general question when the time shall come. I will not further dotain the louse, except to express my earnest hoPe=a hope which has been the subject of many prayer4—that nothing which I have done or said in this matter may have provoked anger or caused needless pain. Dr. M'CauL seconded the rcotion. He contended that this book, " Essays and Reviews,'l involved the reconstruction of Christianity; and if they pr4ed with the old Christianity Ow -must also part, with Jhaixae4o., .s.-e;.;, ....:9. IrLurgye The trista,:.: , rEnglandand the United States had welcomed the book with delight, and held it as a proof that the Church of England had taken a large dep . & advance. That was the opinion of the enemies of that Church ;' but the friends of the Chureh'looked upon the book as fraught with danger, and it had against it the unanimous verdict of the entire episecipat bench and upwards of 10,000 of the clergy. He denied the position of the book, that Christianity must be reconstructed according to the discoveries of modern science, and brought into harmony with modern criticism, but pointed out that there was really nothing in the discoveries of science antagonistic with the Mosaic theory, quoting va ' rious authorities, showing that where any supposed diffe rence existed it arose from a misunderstanding of particular terms in different languages. Despite the preface he held that the book was one of united action, and that although the writer might have written independently of each other there was yet a united object, and each knew-what the others intended to do, and in one instance "a compact" be tween them was expressly spoken of. It was necessary that the Church should interfere and condemn the book. It was essential that they should come to some authoritative de claration concerning the heresy and unsoundness of the book, in order that unsuspecting persons might, be put on their guard, and that others might be deterred from advanc ing in the same line of scepticism and Deism to their own ruin. He did not consider that anything that had been brought under the notice of Convocation, even in the time of the Reformation, was so important as this, involving as it did the question whether the Bible was the word of God or not—(no, no, and hear hear)—whether our common faith was established in truth or in error, (No, no, and hear.)

TileArrsoN having been called upon by the Prolo cutor to submit his amendment, which stood first in order on the motion paper, remarked that there were several amendments to be proposed, and amongst them one by Dr. Wordsworth, referring to a matter of law, and if the rev. doctor was right upon the legal point it appeared to him (Sir H. Thompson) that they would be incurring the penal ties of a prmunire by proceeding at all in this business. He would submit, therefore, that Dr. 'Wordsworth should open this legal question, the decision upon which might render all further proceeding not only unnecessary but im. possible. The PROLOCUTOR said it would be more convenient if Sir H. Thompson would proceed with his amendment. Sir H. Tnomrsow read his amendment as follows: serve their own rights they must respect the rights of the crown ; and if they were to repress the dangerous doctrines enunciated in this way, they must proceed in a religious, judicial, and legal way. He thought he had shown grounds to establish his amendment that they should not proceed to synodical action. The Archdeacon of SARUM then moved the following amendment :—" That in the opinion of this house there are sufficient grounds for proceeding to synodical judgment on the volume entitled Essays and Reviews,' but at the same time it was not expedient to revive the power of synodical action under the existing circumstances of the Church." He said that the motion originally brought forward by Dr. Jelf and Dr. *Caul was similar to this ; but Dr. Wordsworth's amendment brought it to an end, and happy would it have been if the matter had ended there. But when the house met again, certain members of this house signed a gravamen, which was, taken by the Prolo cutor to the Upper House, who inquired if it had been signed by the majority of the house, and he replied in the affirmative. The PuoLocuTou—By the majority of:the house then present. Archdeacon RANDALL:as one of the assessors of the Pio locutors, stated that the Prolocutor had distinctly stated to the Upper House that a gravamen had been signed by the majority of the Lower House then present. The PROLOCUTOR said a question had been put to him, and he had answered it to the best of his ability; but the gravamen and petition had nothing to do with the message sent down by the Upper House. • Archdeacon DENISON said that in justice to the Prob• tutor he must state that he had tibia on the; ocerion referred to, counted thb house, at Which 38 member* Were present, and 201 ad s ig ne d th e gravamen. (Hear.) • The ArChdeacon of SARUM did not mean to infer that 'the Prolocutor had , done wrong, but at the same time be Ten thfte - but - for - Bumirmlett4aratanding he believed these proceedings would never have taken place. He would pro ceed withthe subject. It was said they were not going to have tn Index expurgatorius. • How did they know that ? There Were hundreds of books which contained greater heresies than these Essays. It was said that this was an extreme ease, and h 6 granted it. It was a sad and sorrowful case, but where was the guarantee that if they thus proceeded, books might not be brought forward for condemnation ? He recollected the time when there was a great excitement amongst the bishops and the clergy, not how the Gospel should be preached, but whether it should be preached in a black gown or a white surplice, and that excitement ex ceeded this on the seven essays. It was impossible to con demn a book without condemning the authors—it was inr; possible to separate them. He did not think that the authors would care much what was'done, and judging from the con troversial spirit of one, he would probably be much disap pointed if they did not condemn him. (Hear, hear.) The Archdeacon of STAFFORD seconded the amendment. He was exceeding averse to synodical action with refer ence to this book, although he should be glad if they could do so on lawful grounds. It would be exceedingly unjust to judge the book unless they called the authors before them. Archdeacon DEZ , TISON—I beg your pardon ; I said they might be asked to come. The Archdeacon of STAYFORD —Then if they had no power to summon the authors, they were no lit tribunal to jidge of their works. If they condemned this book they must condemn the actions of those who wrote it. Could they pass a greater stigma on the authors of this book than this, that they had put forth a book directly opposed to the doctrines which they had subscribed ? So he said they would be doing a great injustice to the authors unless the men were to be called before them to be judged ; and as they had no power to do so— Canon WORDS WORTH—Yes. PRICE 4D. STAMPED, 51), synodical judgment; but suppose the bishops refused to proceed, where would this house be ? (Archdeacon Denison —Where we are.) But suppose the bishops were to frame a synodical judgment, he much doubted whether this house would be prepared to go that length, end if they refused, then the bishops would have a fair ground of complaint. He thought all the amendments might be so settled as to meet the views of the Archdeacon of Taunton. Archdeacon DENISON—I am much obliged to you. The Rev. Sir 11. TnomPsoN said he was quite ready t o give way so far as to concur that the "Essays" contained heretical opinions, provided thete were coupled with that the viows of the house that it was not desirable to proceed to synodical action. At this stage of the discussion, it being 6 o'clock, the house adjourned until 11 o'clock this day. THE NA PX. The Lords of the Admiralty have forwarded directions to Chatham dockyard for the Defence, 24, iron mail-clad steamer, to be furnished with Cunningham's patent self-reefing yards, each 70 feet in length. The masts, yards, and other gear are being prepared at the dockyard, and will be .ready for the Defence by the ensuing month. The length of each of the fore and main topmasts is 55 feet, and that of the mizenmast 57 feet. The cap topsailyard will be 75 feet in length, or rather longer than that of the Warrior, 40, which is rigged somewhat different from the Defence. The lower masts and bowsprits of the Defence are of iror;. - The Diadem, 32, screw steam frigate, Capt. J. H. Cockburn, left Spithead this day under steam. Capt. Cockburn applied to be allowed to go for a spirit of clicoatibfaction began to be evinced in consequence of the ship remaining so long at Spithead, and so little leave granted. The Megmra, iron screw steam troop ship, Com mander Henderson, will be taken out of No. S dock to-morrow, when she will get up steam and proceed to test her machinery and try her speed at the mea sured mile in Stokes Bay. The ships in the sailing ordinary and those in the steam ordinary at Plymouth are to be, what is termed, " Consolidated," and placed under the com mand of one captain. The screw steamship Sanspareil, 70, Capt. Arthur P. E. Wilmot, C. 8., flag of Rear-Admiral Charles Talbot, at Queenstown, is under orders for Ply mouth, where her crew will be paid up, and she will be prepared for re-commission. Her lower deck guns will be sent ashore. None of the inter nal fittings will be disturbed. The Argus, 6, paddlewheel steamsloop, Comman der H. F. W. Ingram, arrived at Spithead yester day evening from the Mediterranean. The War Department transport Mar borough arrived at the Ordnance-wharf, Chatham, from the Ncre yesterday, having on board the guns, howit zers, and solid and hollow shot taken out of the Meeanee, 80, 400-horse power ; the Phaeton, 51, 400-horse power; and the Griffin, 5, 80-horse power, belonging to the steam reserve in the Med way, their places being ordered to be supplied with the Armstrong guns. The Meeanee is to be furnished with two 100-pounder pivot Armstrong guns, and two 40-pounders; the Phaeton will in the first instance ship cite of the 100-pounder Arm strongs and two of the 40-pounders ; the Griffin is ordered to be furnished with two of the 12-pounder small Armstrong guns. In addition to the above, each steamer will be furnished with brass guns and howitzers for the pinnaces and launches. ESSAYS AND REVIEWS. The Lower House resumed its sittings in the Jerusalem Chamber; the archdeacon of Berkshire presiding as pro locutor. The attendance was less full than on former occasions, but including most of the leading members of the house. The Earl of Harrowby, Lord Cranworth, Mr. M. Milnee, and several M.P's. were amongst the strangers, who were unusually numerous. Some formal business having been transacted, The PROLOCUTOR read the message from the Presideni directing the house to examine and give its opinion as to the book entitled "Essays and Reviews." The Rev. Mr. MASSINGBERD gave notice that if the mo tion of Archdeacon Denison should be carried, he would move an address to the President and the Upper House, praying that they might proceed rather by way of declara tion of their own belief, than by way of synodical judgment. Canon WORDSWORTH gave notice of the following amend ment to Archdeacon Denison's motion :—" That the eccle siastical courts of this realm are the proper tribunals for the trial of heresy. That in the ordinary exercise of its func tions„ convocation is a deliberative assembly, and not a judicial tribunal ; and that if in any particular case, such as that now before this house, it proposes to enter upon any deliberations with the view to perform a judicial act and to pronounce a synodical sentence upon a book, it ought firs' to consider whether a license from the crown may not be requisite fr.. that purpose. That a rears.ctka wiGti 'tipper =amen' Archdeacon DENISON—I rise to move a resolution, of which I have given notice. The resolution is :—" That it is the opinion of this house that there are sufficient grounds for proceeding to a synodical judgment on the book entitled Essay and Reviews.' " If this resolution is cariied,. I shall ask the house to commUnicate its decision to the Upper House, together Witt a copy of the report of the committee. The question.then before the house, and the question upon which the house is called upon to vote, is this, "Are there or are there not sufficient grounds for pro • ceeding to a synodical judgment on the book ?" lam de sirous to state this formally at the outset, because in the course of our discussion last Tuesday this question was a good deal mixed up with a further question which may w heretical eta h to e synodical hear.)

(Hear, s e d ha dangerous The question of the advisability of such a judgment is not turns in any n s p h o a n p e t beforethis p otn t t h t i b s a t house, have H been in the outset because I think- it will be seen very clearly, as I apprehend, that it affects the whole of the amendments which have been .roved to my resolution, and must be very closely taken into consideration by every member of this house in the course of this debate. Now, gentlemen, I say the advisability of proceeding is not the question before us at this time in any shape, and I say further,and I beg mem bers to consider this, for it is a most important point, the question belongs in the first instance, not properly to us, bile to the Upper House, because all actual proceedings on synodical judgment must emanate from the Upper, and not from this house. (Hear.) The Upper House might have asked our opinion on the general question in its largest sense —that is whether, under any circumstances, it is advisable for this synod to proceed to such a judgment, which is the question raised by one of the amendments, notice of which has been given by the Archdeacon of Sarum. But the Upper House has not done so, and I have no desire to in terfere with the functions of the Upper House. Bat it is hardly competent even for them to submit such a question as this would amount to, which is the question of parting with one of the principal functions of this assembly—of parting with it for ever. The bishops of the church of England have never taken such a step, and God forbid that they ever should. But the Upper House might have asked our opinion on that particular point—that is, on the advisa bility of proceeding in this particular case to a synodical judgment. This is the question raised by the amendment of Sir H. Thompson ; but they have not done so. They have assumed that it is advisable so to proceed, if there are grounds in their judgment, as in ours, for so doing. They have not asked our opinion on either of these points ; there is no likelihood, I submit, of their ever asking it on the first, and if they do ask it on the second, which I doubt, then it will be for us to consider it and give an answer ; but at present we have not been asked for any opinion on the matter; and although I am anxious to guard the privilege. and liberties of this house, still I am no less desirous, for the sake of the character and dignity of this synod of the pro • vince of Canterbury, that we should not appear to trench on the proper functions of the house of bishops. The ques tion then which we have been asked, and to assist us in. answering which the committee has been appointed and has reported—to assist, I say—and I beg the committee to mark this, because we are not assuming that the report of the üb committee ae i r s i n t v h ge e aw o tnhal nich t e eh a l n eu es committeet wo conclusion — er b e by the members of this assistutth i e la q a u b e e s e ti n on ap t p o ointed is simply this—are there or are there not sufficient grounds for proceeding to a synodical judgment upon the book entitled "Essays and Reviews ?" I earnestly trust, for the sake of the character of our deliberations, which I believe are being watched with the greatest anxiety, not only by our clerical brethren but by thousands of the laity of the Church of England—l earnestly trust that we shall most carefully confine ourselves to the one question, Aye or No. In my judgment, having given the best consideration to this matter, and taken all the advice I could procure, parliamentary and otherwise, upon it, I am fortified in say ing that no one of the amendments of which notice has been given in this house ought to be entertained by this house to-day. On the contrary, I contend that they are out of form, out of order, and ought not to be put. I say I ear nestly trust that we shall carefully confine ourselves to one this house e A t y o e g o e r t No.rid of It has lm ob:tenimtpooormtanucthqtuheesthioanbiat by such motions as the previous question , or other similar . ways Novfitphasmsientghbayt ita wgroeuiatd be decision. .I inthienonkstihsteenhtowiusethwoilluracghraee racter and reputation, with the dignity of a synod, and with the subjeot •matter which we have before us to-day, to say that we should deal with the que stion brought under our notice in any way but in a simple, clear, straightforward manner, such as the public will understand. What we are called upon to declare is, " Are there, or are there not, sufficient grounds for proceeding to a synodica l j ud g ment?" For myself, following the rule I have endeavoured to lay down as based both upon the nature and the facts of the case, I shall, if I am permitted, abstain most carefully from entering at this time into any part of the large ques tion of synodical judgment, that is to say, of spiritual cen sure by the Church in her corporate capacity, and of its bear ing upon the true position and the vitality of the Church. I am not in the habit of making long speeches in this house, but if the general issue of synodical judgment be raised 4lt any future time, which I can hardly contemplate as a thing possible to be raised in a synod, or the particular ques tion of its advisability in the present case, I should necessarily have much to say upon both these questions, But I submit respectfully to the house that neither of them are before us now, and that if the two questions be mixed up and allowed to run into one another, our debate must needs fall into great confusion of thought and speech. I apply myself then to the one question before us—are there, or are there not, sufficient grounds for proceeding to a synodical judgment upon the book? Now, the committee have presented their report, as containing such sufficient grounds. They have not said so in words, for this reason, they considered that it was not their function to express their opinion formally in this particular as a committee, but afterwards, as members of the house; that is to say, now. But the committee do not ask the house to adopt their re port, or to endorse it in all its particulars. There is not only no necessity, but as it seems to me there is no place in this case for any such adoption or endorsement of the report. The report contains the grounds upon which the committee arrivedttt he h eee proofs report. have formed their opinion of the book. But it is only ono out of m any mon has been arrived at.

If he thinks there are sufficient grounds, I think he must vote with me. May I then be permitted to express an earnest hope that it will not be attempted to get rid of my resolution by any other process than that of a direct negative? We are asked to give a specific answer to a specific question put to " That the Prolocutor be requested to carry to the Upper House a copy of the report, together with the following message That in obedience to the direction of his Grace the President and of the Upper House, a committee of the Lower House was appointed to examine the book entitled " Essays and Reviews," and to report thereon to the Lower House, in order that the Lower House might communicate to the Upperlicuse its opinion whether there are sufficient grounds for proceeding to synodical action on the book. The Lower House now send to the Upper House a copy of the report of that committee. The Lower House are not prepared to recommend the passing of synodical judgment upon the book, but they desire to assure the Upper House +b.+ +-. 3 , •Hill give their most respectful attention to any communication which may be sent down to them founded on this report.' " Archdeacon RANDALL-It might save time if I rise to say, that immediately on that amendment being proposed I shall appeal to the Prolocutor on the point of order whether such an amendment can be put. The Rev. C. E. KENNAWAY would second such an appeal. The PROLOCUTOR would at once put it to the house whether the amendment was a proper one, and having done so declared that it was rejected by the house, a large majo rity being adverse to it. THE MAKING OP A CANON,' The proceedings were here interrupted by the entrance of his Grace the President, accompanied by the bishops and the legal officers and attendants of the archbishop, the ob ject being the formal enactment of a canon of the church, a ceremony which has not been performed for upwards of 200 years. His Grace the Archbishop, having assumed the presidential chair, proceeded to read the engrossed record, the deed being held during the reading by his Grace and the Prolocutor jointly. The deed merely recited that convoca tion, by virtue of the royal license, had rescinded the 29th canon and substituted in lieu of it that which we have already published. His Grace then affixed his signature to the canon, and was followed by the Bishops of Oxford, St. Asaph, and Lin coln, the only other members of the episcopal bench present. After the bishops the members of the Lower House pro ceeded to sign, commencing with the deans, then the arch deacons, then doctors of divinity, and afterwards proctors for chapters and dioceses; after which his Grace the Presi dent, the bishops, and their retinue retired.

They were in a posi tion whether they were to do a judicial act with the whole authority of convocation. 110 confessed in his own private mind that this was not only an unhappy book, but the worst book which had been published since the Refor mation. He adopted the views of the mover and se conder ; but he felt, if it were a dangerous box*, it could not be suppressed by injustice. The greater the evil, the more important it was that they should carefully consider the remedy. Dr. Weanl had said he with ten thousands of other clergy condemned the book, and had signed with them the act of condemnation. Was then his rev. friend to be both advocate and judge in the same cause? He said that those who had signed the address had morally disqualified themselves as judges. (" Hear, hear," and "No, no.") His rev. friend would allow him to say that, as he reprobated this book as destructive to Christian morality, yet if they treated it with injustice they would only arouse the sym pathy of the English people in favour of its authors. He had declined to serve on the committee because he felt that after the language which had been used he could not grapple with it fairly and honestly. Ile remembered that in 1786 an illegal act of this kind had suffocated convocation for more than one hundred years. Convocation was a deliberate assembly, but they were not competent to proceed to synodical judgment without the license of the Crown. If they had been commanded by the Upper House they would have proceeded to petition the Crown. In 1689, Bishop Burnet had said that any bishop could proceed against the author of dangerous books in his own diocese, but Convocation could not proceed judicially to censure any book without hearing the author. (Hear, hear.) It was said that what was now proposed to be done, was what had been done with regard to Whiston's book. He denied that altogether. At that time the opinion of the judges was taken, and eight of the judges were of opinion that Convocation had the power to condemn tenets of heresy, but then they must condemn them with the authors and maintainers of them. He believed that many of the authors of the seven essays uoVf regretted they had Put their hand to them . The minori ty of the judges be in g four, were of opinion that Convocation could not summon the author out of his diocese, but then they said there must be the license of the Crown to proceed to censure. (Achdeacon DENISON—NO, no.) His rev. friends were following neither precedent. They did not follow the opinion of proceeding against the book in the presence of the authors, nor the rule laid down that they could not summon a clergyman out of his diocese. lie felt if this court were proceeded with, the case would be brought before the courts of law, and instead of suppressing heresy they would themselves be suppressed. He suggested that they should submit to the Upper House that there was no precedent for the action recommended. (Arctdeacon DENISON—I deny it.) If they were to pre- The Archdeacon of STAFFORD—Not without the royal license. (Hear, hear.) He contended they should not take a single step to promote synodical action, unless they had the men before them; and secondly, that they should not proceed to synodical action unless they were assured that the bishops and themselves could do so without the license of the Crown. The standing orders had not been suspended, so that every member of this house might give his opinion; and therefore this house was in no way com mitted to the gravamen. (Hear, hear.) He believed the result of synodical action would be to keep this book, against which so much had been said, and against which he would have to say if he did not feel he should be doing injustice to the authors—would be to keep this book longer before the mind of the public. (Hear.) He believed the book was dying away. (No, no.) Well, at least, he understood that no second edition had been published, and for the sake of keeping this book from the public eye he would advise them to refrain from procedure. He believed it was quite impossible4o separate the authors from the essays. There was one of them already on his trial, and were they now to pronounce the solemn judgment of this court against a man already on his trial ? [Archdeacon Denison : " Yes."] —lf they did not think the writings heretinal why should they proceed. If they thought they were, then they were damaging a man already on Ilia trial, He believed that without the license of the crown they were not a judicial assembly. When the judicial tri bunals were established all judicial authority had departed from this house, and they became simply a deliberative as sembly. Suppose they proceeded to synodical action, and declared that these men:had:been guilty of heresy, and then the judicial tribunals decided contrary, would they then strengthen or weaken the church ? (Hear.) He was so opposed to the doctrines laid down in this book that if he felt synodical action could prevail he would be the first to recommend it, but feeling it would not be expedient under the existing circumstances of the church to proceed to synodical action, he would second the resolution. The Rev. J. W. JOYCE said that during the debate there had been a confusion between a court and a synod which he could hardly have imagined. Until a recent act had been passed Convocation had the power of summoning witnesses, and there were grave opinions that the act did not take away their judicial functions as a court. He abandoned this, but he asserted that Convocation was now sitting as a deli berative assembly upon an opinion. He denied entirely that they must associate the opinion with its author. If not, what would be the case where an anonymous book was published? Here he would be told that the authors ap pended their names. (Hear.) He regretted it ; he felt for them ; but he could also feel for those who might be swayed by doctrines contrary to our religion. Sitting, then, as a synod on opinions injurious to the church, he could not conceive that any man would say that this was a question on which the church should not interfere ; and this would be the effect if the amendment were carried. (Hear.) Ile wished the house to draw a distinction between a judgment pronounced in an ecclesiastical sense and in a legal sense. The Dean of ELY thought there was enough to say that some of the authors of the " Essays and Reviews" had acted unwisely, but he confessed he could not understand some of the passages, nor could he understand some of the pas sages in the report of the committee. He could not ignore the fact that legal proceedings were going on at this time, and supposing Convocation came to synodical judgment, that these articles were heretical, it was impossible to say that it would not prejudice the case of the defendant. If the authors were pronounced to be in heresy, then the thing was done with, if not, Convocation would be brought into conflict with one of our judicial tribunals. (Hear.) The thewisest committeething h couldad been do, ap la w h as ep t e h f at, se as lia s b i n n ry ce had taken proceedings against one of the authors, it should be represented to the Upper House that it would be incon venient to this house to pronounce any opinion on the ques ptihint.sedeptihneieße tion of proceeding to synodical judgment. Dr. JELF said, at present they had not nearly arrived at the stage of proceeding indicated by the Dean of Ely. It appeared to him that this house was acting now as a grand jury, which. had to decide whether there was sufficient evi dence to send the case for trial. He should most sincerely delight if any one of the authors of the " Essays and Re views" would repudiate his opinion, but he saw no indica.- tion of it. As one of the committee, he might say thatthey had examined the book with the greatest care, and where any doubt existed as to certain passages they had given full benefit to the aecused. Having sifted them with the greatest care, he felt that all the grounds of the indictment had been made out, but even if they had not all been made out, there would be sufficient grounds for proceeding to synodical ac • tion, and he was prepared, Coto animo, to do away with the amendment, thinking there were full grounds for proceed ing to synodical action. Canon SELWYN was not prepared to accept either amend ment or resolution, but he concurred with the Dean of Ely that no man should be brought before two tribunals for the same offence. This house had already expressed ari opinion, and he should have thought it had been far better if the bishops had sent down to this house for its accept ance a petition to the Crown to proceed to synodical action. Ile felt strongly against these essays, and especially that which had come under the notice of the Bishop of Salis• bury; but with all that he would say there was more good in this book of Essays than Dr. 111cCaul was willing to allow, and that this house should net pass a sweeping con demnation on a work which, with all its errors, contained 1 some elements of truth. _ _ The Rev ea me mode of pro ceeding by synodical judgment was analogous to a mode of procedure in Parliament which had long become obsolete— he alluded to attainder. With regard to this book, there was a particular difficulty in passing judgment upon it, for it was written by seven persons. His friend, Mr. Joyce, alluded to the case of an anonymous book, but then they would be trying a ghost. He had read the book, and he longed to get home and burn it—(laughter)—but be con fessed it was impossible, in his opinion, to frame a J u dgment in condemnation of the book generally. There was another difficulty. This convocation only formed one-fourth of the Church. Who could say that the book would not come under the review of the convocations of York or Armagh ? It was said they were only asked to say whether, in the opinion of this house, there were reasons for proceeding to The following appointmentsW;;;;fe yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander W. H.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the General Commanding-in-Chief, held a levee yesterday at the Horse Guards, Whitehall. There was a very large attendance of officers. The reconstruction of the Military Store Depart ment, for some time past a subject of discussion, was on Wednesday announced at Woolwich by the issue of a Royal Warrant bearing the signature of Lord Herbert, No. 689. It lays down, inter alia, the following rules : " The duties of the Military Store Department shall be directed and superintended by the Director of Stores, acting under orders from the Secretary of State for War. The age of admission of officers, as a general rule, 6lidll be between 18 and 23 years, subject to passing an examination by the Civil Service Commissioners, in such subjects as the Secretary of State for - War for the time being shall think expedient. Nevertheless the Secretary of State for War may, with the con currence of the General Commanding-in-Chief of the army, recommend for commission in the said department, any officers now serving_ in _ the army, or other persons who shall have passed tiarolighthe usual course of study in the Military Coge of Sandhurst, such officers and others not being above 25 years of age. The officers of the Military Store Department shall bear the designation and hold relative rank in the army as follows :--The Princi pal Superintendent of Stores, as Col.; Superinten dent of Stores as Lieut.-Col., and after five years' service on full pay in that rank as Col.; Deputy Superintendent of Stores as Major ; Assist, ditto as Capt., and Deputy-Assist. as Lieut. Such relative rank shall carry with it all precedence and advan tages attaching to the rank with which it corres ponds. In promoting from one rank to another due weight is to be given to the claim of officers on the score of long and faithful service, but the primary ground of advancement in the service will be per sonal merit. The rates of pay of the different ranks of officers shall be regulated accordinc , to the following form :—Principal Superintendent and Superintendent of Stores, on attaining the ranks, £2 4s. and 1 10s. per day each, £1 2s. and los. half-pay, and £1 13s. and £1 23. 6d. retired pay; charge pay to the latter is. Gd. per day ; Deputy- Superintendent, Assistant-Superintendent, and De puty-Assistant-Superintendent of Stores, £1 13s. Gd., and ss. 6. - 1. on attaining the respective ranks, and after five years' full service on full pay in those ranks £1 45., 16s: Gd., and Bs. After 10 years' service on full pay in that rank the latter officer will be entitled to 10s. Gd. per day, and the three abovenamed will be entitled to charge pay per day at the rate of 55., 3s. Gd., and 2s. 6d.; half-pay 125., Bs. 3d., and ss. 3d. ; and retired pay 18s., 12s. 3d., and i s. Gd. The length of service on full pay to give a claim to retirement is limited to 30 year l s, a o ses o , the age at which, in the absence of exceptional the retirement shall be compulsory is 65 principal superintendent and 60 year_sy,feeorarsrtshseelo.vtihne,r four. The senior military store officers a special pin r ai e v e rn, tt with an army in the field shallthe rate of pay proportionate to the i ud jo ' a l s ' t of charge.

Officers upon whom ma y dev olve the charge of a station , in c onsequence of the a b sence of their superior , shall be permitted to draw the a ll owance s of the rank next above their own, and rece i ve the charge pay of such rank f rom the date of receiving responsible charge, until the retransfer be effected. Any officer removed from full pay, in consequence of a reduction of the establishment, or from any other cause (except misconduct), s h a ll b e entitled to the rate of half pay prescribed for his rank in the above schedule ; but after 30 Tears' full pay service he shall, in lieu of superannuation allow ance, be granted a retired pay, according to the rate also prescribed in the sc h edule referred to. In the absence of exceptional circumstances retirement shall be compulsory at the age of 65 years for prin cipal superintendents of stores, and 60 years for The letter-carriers and sorters, the Octal: of 1. •' grievances in the Tintes,some two years back n. a considerable sensation ip. , ,Pro:publie mind, app to have done rfary lit fln ..;nce then towards obtain ing redress. Last night they called a public meet ing at Exeter-hall for the purpose of again attract ing the notice of the Post-office authorities and the Legislature. The meeting was crowded with letter carriers and others connected with the establishment at St. Martin's-le-Grand—Sir George Bowyer, M.P., taking the chair. The report of the com mittee appointed by the men to wait on the authori ties and state their case showed that for more than a year past the men had been memorialising and sending deputations, but with scarcely any result beyond official acknowledgments, or vague answers that their complaints were under consideration. The report of the Commissioners appointed to examine into the system of pay, promotion, working hours, &e., at the Post office, was supposed to be in favour of the men's requests; but it was not, and has not yet been, laid before Parliament, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that " The re port had been referred to Sir Rowland Hill, who was the life and mainspring of the establishment, and who had given his views upon the matter in the shape of a minute which had raised a desire on the part of the Commissioners to sustain their statements, and therefore until their supple mentary report was produced the Government eould not act upon it." This answer, of course, ex cited increased murmurs and distrust throughout the service, which were not lessened by a return to the absurd system of promotion by seniority with out promotion from classes. The report stated that the secretary of the committee, having, at the re quest of the men, written to the public journals contradicting two paragraphs put forward to the effect that the men were perfectly satisfied with what had been done for them, was for this offence suspended till he wrote an apology, though his sus pension certainly only lasted four days. After this there was longer delay till April last, when up wards of 1,200 men signed an address to the Post master-General, again praying for a speedy con sideration of their case, to which an answer was returned that his lordship's recommendations had already been sent to the Treasury, with a request that as early answer might be returned. Nothing further having been heard, the men decided that it was useless to wait, and accordingly met last even ing to pass a simple resolution, in the form of a petition, praying for an examination into their grievances by the members of the House of Commons. The authorities at the Post-office were, of course, most strongly opposed to the men attempting to hold any public meeting, and to endeavour to check it to the utmost the following notice was posted in the chief and all large district offices in the metropolis:— "APPLICATION. " Any application from a sorter, letter-carrier, or other officer, in i eference to his duties or pay, or any communica tion he may desire to make relating to official matters, must be addressed to the Controller of the Circulation Depart ment ; and if the applicant be dissatisfied with the result, he may appeal direct to the Postmaster-General. But every officer is strictly forbidden to make any such applica tion or other communication through the public, or in any way except in the manner just described ; and should any irregular application be received, the officer in whose behalf it is made will be subject to a censure or other punishment proportionate to the extent of his participation in the viola tion of the rule." The proceedings last night were brief and almost formal. Sir G. Bowyer made a few observations to the effect that the men had been driven to ap pealing to the public to obtain redress of their wrongs. This was a right which belonged to all. Englishmen, and to stigmatize it as insubordina tion was both unjust and cruel. He hoped, how ever, and in the very few remarks which some of the speakers would have to make that night they would be guarded, temperate, and patient in their statements, and do nothing which might even seem to justify the dislike of the authorities to public appeals of that kind. In the very short speeches which were then made by various of the letter carriers, the Rev. Hugh Allen, the Rev. Mr. Keedey, and others, it was urgently stated that the men's claims were just and reasonable, and such as, under a more liberal administration of the great revenue the Government derived from the Post-office, would have been conceded long ago. Since the announcement of that meeting' the pay had been slightly , - raised, but the increase was so small as to ~^ almost ridiculous, as it only gave them 265. and gOs. a week when they were old men. A slightly dif ferent system was adopted among the sorters ; yet as far as real amelioration was concerned, it was almost as bad with them. One speaker stated that under the new system, though he had then been more than six years in the Post-office, yet upwards of 400 men above him must die or leave the service before he would be entitled to 265. a week. The proposed measures, instead of calming would in crease the agitation which prevailed throughout all branches of the Post-office. Eventually a resolution was carried, amid tre mendous cheers, praying for a Parliamentary in quiry into these Post-office grievances, especially with reference to the system of work and scale of wages and promotion. The pro&eedings closed with an enthusiastic vote of thanks to the chair. THE LATE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.-- The injuries sustained by Hurst in the recent pugilistic en counter with Mace, of Norwich, are, we learn, of so very serious a character as to occasion considerable "'fibre apprehen sions as to the result.
