Thomas Stevens, M.A., of Oriel College, Orford, Rector of
Bradfield. Burial's, and Wardell of St. Andrew's College.
It showed that, whereas schools and oolleges incorporated
for the puma= of instruction, it would be desirable that
duly qualified otheisten or members should be homed for
the parlor:name of divine service and the Administration
. .

of the sacraments for the benefit of such schools sad
colleges, independent of the rector or vicar of the whits,
and that with the consent of the rector or vicar

Queen had appointed Thursday (to-day) to receive the
addressee from oonvoostion, and that both houses would

Their lordships then adjourned.
THE LOWER HOUSE.

The Lower Home isel et 12 o'dock.—ils• very Rev. Dr.
Liddell, Dula of Christ Church, took his mat for the first
tune since kis appointment in 185 d.

Archdeluxie Lord A. HERVEY resumed the debate on the
question so warmly disowned oe Tuesday in favour of
farther delay before the house proceeded to synodical judg-
ment on " Essays and Reviews." He urged that matters
were very different now from their situation three years
ago, after the trials which bad taken plaits. That there was
some inconvenience in the course proposed was tacitly
acknowledged by the limitation of the manure to books, not
primes. The question had been decided by law, and it was
against the royal supremacy to condemn people without the
royal license. He even thought it possible that many of the
former majority might sow be of three who desired delay,
or might change their minds.
Canon Selwyn's amendment, moved on the previous day,
was, after some discussion, lost.
The Rev. Sir H. Tuomrsos, Bart., then proposed an
amendment against proceeding with tha matter until a
petition from Dr. Rowland Williams, praying to be beard
before the house on his Essay, had been disposed of, and
moved that the president of the Upper House be requested
to inform the Lower whether Dr. Williams could legally be
beard or not. He thought that they were not eatitlad to
condemn Dr. Williams unheard.
The Hoe. and Rev. S. Bear seconded the amendment.

Tim Archdeacon of Lompoc thought the moral judgment
of the country as to " Essays and Reviews " quite satiate.-
tory enough. They were morally condemned, sod they
could not be formally condemned without the royal lionise.
The Rev. Dr. Jun thought that if any or all of the
authors of this book were disposed to come forward and
make an explanation or retractatMe, it might have been the
duty of the home to hear them, but the matter had long
been before the public ; edition after edition was printed;
in the trials in church court. no explaoatiou wasgiveo, and
as to ambiguous statements in the hook. ambiguity was one
of the greatest offeoces against Christianity.
The Dean of WISTXINSTRR thought that Dr. Williams
would be likely to consider this a directly perms] question
affecting hi. own diameter, fame, sod even prospects in
life. The book in question was sot written, a. had Mee
said,
or in concert arraagement with the editor. He
had more intimate knowledge of the book than any one
else in the house, sod the whole substratum of Dr. JAW'
facts was fabulous. There was no concert whatever between
the writers, and such matters ought to be dismissed from
the boom. He did not understand how the house could
refuse to hear Dr. Williams if that 'satiation preferred a
claim to be heard. At all emote if they refused to her him
the, ought not to condemn him. (Hear.)
Os a division the amendment was negatived, and the
main resolution Came before the house.

The Rev. J. BILANSTON proposed. " thattbe house rupees
its inability to comae in their lordship' request, not be-
cause of any sympathy with the contents of the book, bat
because it is of opinion that it is nowlvisable to revive the
judicial (undies of convocation, and is incompetent satis-
factorily to perform those inactions."
The Venerable Archdeacon Hoar seconded the motion.
After a long diecuasioa the hones divided on Mr. Bram-
stores amendment, there being for it ?4 ; maims it, 33. It
was consequently last.

LITERARY ASSOCIATION OP THE FRIENDS
OP POLAND.

The annual general meeting of members of this
emaciation took place oo Tuesday at the races, Same:-
chambers, Dukeatreet, St. Jennie ; the Earl al I..t.casersa
in the chair.

.t report was reed, which stated that the main object of
the council bad been not to disooetione, under the most un-
favourable and discouraging oirennistanees, the performance
of thole duties which the association was formed to fulfil—
viz., the relief of Polish political refugees in sickness end
destitutioo, and the diffusion of information respecting the
condition of Poland. The council believed that it was on
this account that the oxidate of the association bad been
prolonged far heyood the term which bad been attained by
any other similar society of sa ezclusivsly political
nature. In order to attain the main object of the emacia-
tion the council considered it necessary to docile" taking
soy part in any actual attempt at the liberation of
Poland ; but at the same time the most active pro-
moters of such attempt& had bean toned smolt( the
ranks of the association. For leveret years peat the
council had derived assistance from Polish proprietors
to an extent which had equalled if not exceeded the sup-
port they had obtained from English friends. But, as was
to be expected, contributions from Poland had Mee short
of late, and the amount of English subecriptioe had also
decreased, partly in consequence of the demand for 'moist-
en°. to relieve the sick and wounded in Poland. The
almost entire absence of support to the Polish sole from
the Roman catholic, in England was also a matter of ob.
servation and regret. The canoed again waited to call at-
tention to the very distressing position is which Polish
ref agees are placed in England. 'Not only had many of them
been brought up to no employment except that of soldiers.
' bat they were deprived of that resource which the poor of
almost all other classes were sure to find. The report went
oe to pay a warm tribute of gratitude to the late Prime
Adam exartoryski, who throughout his long career
rendered the most conspicuous services to his country.
Shortly after the outbreak of the insurrection, and as soon
as it became evident that there was no probability of
its speedy suppression, • committee was formed, chiefly
of members of the associatioe, and meter the presidriecy of
the lets Marquis Towetheed, for the purpose of collecting
sobseriptioos in aid of the Poles. sod the amount :waived
by this committee amounted to 1,5531. Another committee
was formed, consisting of gentlemen unconnected with the
areociatioo, and they had also raised a considerable sum.
After reviewing the VlLliOtle operatinos of the essociatioa
the report concluded by expressing a belief that an seder-
standing between Freer:sand Eriglaed on the Polish question'
would be the best guarantee for a durable alliance between
the two countries, and for the preservation of the weaker
states from the danger in which they are constantly placed by
the unprincipled ambition of the three partitiooing powers.
The income of the association for the three years, 1861.2,
I 18624, and 1863-4. amounted to 1,5611. 12a., sod the ex-
I penditure to 1,627/. Vie. (id., showing an excess of expeodi-
I tun over income of 661. de. fel. This, however...as covered
by the balance in hand io 1861, amounting to 68/. Its. 6d.,
`which left an available balance of 2/. Ile.

The report was adopted oa the motion of the Rev. Dr.
WORTHTNGTON seconded by the Rev' H. PALMER.
. .

Sir H. HoAwe, Bart., then moved that the Earl of
Ilrbester be elected the president of the emaciation for the
en!"lllealil.D.Ann Sutra seconded the resolution ; sad the
Earl of HARRONBT supported it.
This wan carried.
It was next resolved. "That it appears, on a careful com-
parisou of Cie terms of the treaty of Vienna relating to the
junction of Poland and Russia with the notorious conduct
and avowed principles of Russia, since that junction, that
those terms have not been fultilled, either in letter or is
spirit, but, on the contrary, have been flagrantly violated ;
that the union of the two comas-ie. is, consequently, as
dependent ou the Treaty of Vienna, null and void ; and
that whether no declared by governments parties to that
treaty or not, the logical deduction mimics good as matter
of fact, viz., that the conditions of the engagement taken
baying been broken, the obligation has fallen to the
ground."
The speakers to this resolution were the Earl of Har.
rowby, Lord Campbell, Mr. ,Edmond Beam, Sir Henry
Hoare, and the :Animas.
Readutions were then psesed under the advocacy of Mr.
John Abel Smith, Mr. G. Carlin, Sc., electing the vice.
presidents and council for the ensuing year.
' Mr. W. Lloyd Birkbeek was re-elected bosomy secretary,
and the meeting separated with a vote of thanks to the
noble chairman.
