The Upper Rouse met yesterday, especially to
diecnis the proposed proceedings respecting Bishop Colenso'e
book, nevertheless, only five prelates besides the archbishop,
via., the Bishop of Londoo, Bt. David's, Bt. Mara, Lin-
coln, and Llandaff, were present. The Bishop of Oxford's
absence was owing to personal illness.
The Archbishop brought forward the address of the
Lower House.

The Bishop of Losnos, in the course of • long
and careful speech, said the gravity of the mission
could not be over-estimated. They had to deal justly
with the author of the work; they had to maintain
Muth. and they had to oonsider the effect of different modes
of action. His speech mainly consisted of as exhibition of
the difficulty attending any course open to their lordships
in consequence of their being liable to be called to act as
judges in the can respectiog which the public expected
them to stand forward as guides of opinion. He strongly
warned his brethren spinet the dangers of proceed*
with real without discretion, spoke distrustfully of pram.
cations, and recommended reliance on positive unointroi
venial teaching on the subject cf the truths assailed.

The Bishop of Br. Damn's, atter severely condemning,
es the Bishop of Loudon had done, the action of the com-
mittee of the Lower House in the case of the " Essays sad
Reviews," proceeded to eak whether Convocation was a
emit of heresy. In the present case the Lower House
eaasald this . allefiew shape. Mo tholgle ,fh ueq •
Isexpedleot that they should prejudge a cow
which might become the subject of Judicial pro.
endings. His lordship then moved the following re-
solution :—" That this holm has taken into its most
earnest cossideestion the prayer of the Lower House ; rod
eciesideriag that serious doubts are entertained as to the
osenpetesscy of Convocation to pronounce a synodical
judgment without royal licence, that the author is a bishop
of the South African breach of the church, and may
become amenable to the jurisdiction of his metropolitan,
that he has distinctly— (Praises Axle., part I}-avowed
his COlSCioUsiling that his present seelseiestical position will
soon become untenable, unless the church shall commit to
adapt her formularies to his present opinions, does not
think it expedient to direct the appointment of the com-
mittee prayed for by the Lower House."
The Bishop of Louncor esimaded the resolution.
The Bishop of Bt. ASANI agreed with the impropriety of
appointing a committee to examine the book. There could
be no question as to its character.
The Bishop of Larcots mid ha did not see hoer their
lordahipe could refuse to accede to the request of tie
Lower House, expressed as it bad been by se almost canal-
' mons vote of that house. The church would look to cor
vocation for an opinion on the matter, and he thought the
were. the Lower House had takes was a right oleo He
sawed as an amendment that his Grace Use President
direct the appointment of a eamnsittee es prayed far by
the Lower House.
The Bishop of LLANDAIT "wooded the amendment.
The ABCIIIIIBBOr put the easeeelseat to the meeting, sad
declared it carried.
The Archbishop of CAITLIN= succored in the deci-
sion which had bees arrived at, and said it would lave
looked rather bsnh not to accede to a request of that kWd.
It would also have looked as it the bishops wished to
stifle inquiry.
After some further business, their lordships adjourned.

ROYAL .lIIIINEBIAN AND LONDON VACCINE
INSTITUTION.

The annual meeting of this institution took place
paterday afterooon, at the Freantaaraw' Savers; Mr. Karr
is the claw.

The report mid the history of the put year showed that
the utility of the institution had been great; and at the
mine time that, though recopied by many nohle.minded
men, it had met been appreciated to an extent ocenmensurate
with its manta. The institution had afforded the means of
protection from smallpox to 1,388 individuals during the
year, and had supplied vaccine ichor for the ' of
others in almost every part of the habitable Nume-
rous letterscontaieing demands for vaccine were then given.
The vaccine ichor supplied in the years 1859 and 1810 to the
ladle governmeet for Aden woe, it was observed, com-
pletely succemful. It was remarked upon as singularthat,
while at Aden, where the greatest difficulties existed,
arising from climate and other MOON, the institution wee
micesedul, in other parts of India there bad been a want of
sooner—• result which was attributed to secret opposition.
It seemed desirable, the report said, for the honour of the
institution that the board should be authorised to take
each further steps in this matter as might be needful,
either is connexicia with the ladle Board or before podia-
meut. Regret was expressed at the discontinuance of the aid
formerly received from the East 1 lid ia Company, and which Sir
C. Wood had declined to authorise, notwithstanding pressing
applicatires. Allasice was made to the loss which the In-
sistutioa had experienced in the death of the Marquis of
lAaelowne, who, it was said, had unfalteringly, for nearly
half a century, extended to it his support and liberal pe-
cuniary aid. The institatiou bad effected all the good of
the past year by means of ma income of 1961. 17s. sd. It
wee still in debt to the amount of 1211. 14e. Mkt. The
board tendered their thanks to Mr. James Epps, for his
liberality in annulling a claim for 451. which he had upsn
the institution. In conclusion, a hope was expressed that
some liberal minded individual would liquidate the debt,
either by gift or by bequest, sad thus enable the lootitutioe
to workwitbout the difficulty which the existence of • debt
of necessity created.
The financial statement showed that the receipts of the
lear were 19.`,/. 17s. 5d., sad the expenditure 186/. Ifs. 11d,
aving • balance of 91. fis. 6d.

Oit'the motiou of Mr. Thitrurrog, seconded by Mr.
Iticsaao Errs, the report wee adepts&
Thanks were voted to ths board d irissiers and the
medical board for their services sad attendance throughout
the part year.
A rote of thanks was also gives to Dr. Epps for his
services as medical director, and hi was requested to come
tines them.

Dr. Err, in retortion thanks, mid the institution bad
now been at work ever since the year 18(15, and bad con-
fermi a vast amount of public benefit. It was thought by
some that now that the government bad taken
up the matter its agency would no longer be
required ; but in that view be did cot concur.
It was a well known tendency of human nature to tire of
old friends ; but that institution would continue its labours
as long as possible. He concluded by proposing a resolu-
tion of condolence with the family of the late Marquis of
Lanodowne, on whose services to the institution he passed
as eulogium, and omits that a copy of it should be trans-
mhtsid to the dasemeed's family.
This rekdatioa having been adopted, the proceedings ter-
minted.
