The Archbishop of YOKE roes to move foe copies of two
recent reports of committees of the Zeolsetestical Coto-
=Jamieson. He bad no intention, in making this motion, of
deluding the Ecchaiutioal Commission, or of deprecating
any miticiem that their lordships might choose to pees or
that might be passed elsewhere upon that body. Hie ob-
ject was simply to remove from the minds of their lord-
nhips the impesuiou th►t the Ecclesiastical COMMiellioll was
a body w • wu receiving much and doing little, and that
ft was sot fulfilling its object, of meeting the spiritual
waste of the population.

laia6oll. which had led to the unequivocal eoridenmation of
the communion by the conunitise of the Housed Commons,

neonuneadatioa of that onntmittee.

moat preening evils the thret coriderthias, sod it woo adopt-
ing a system too stereotyped is raped to the wants and
necemitim of the people, especially to new district&
. The Bishop of LONDON hoped it would not be thought
the commission was solely oompused of bishops. He trained
the unpopularity of UN commission would be removed whim
its operations were baler understood. He courted the
tallest ingairy MU their expenses.
