THE BIHHOP OF OXFORD AND THE CHI:Hi
Cosanmss.—A magma of this bishop, hello' ecclesiastical
dignitaries, and clergy generally of the thorns. of Oxford,
commenced in that nnivemity on Monday, whet, from the
peculiar (intimateness under which the cosgrem was rum.
mooed, the proceedings were invested with an Damsel
degree of interest. Divine service in St. Marc'. Church
inaugurated the deliberations, after which the Bishop of
Oxford, Archdeacon Lee (of Dublin), Archdeacon Clerk.
Archdasces Bickantteth, Archdeacon Randall, heads of
homes, professors, and a large body of the clergy pro.
coded to the Convention House, which was speedily filled.
The Bishop of Oxford, in au elaborate and eloquent
address, enlarged with much force upon the
opinions eunneiated by distinguished members of the nui-
varsity during ths past few years. and by careful argument
urged that the true explanation of the unhappy difference
existing was to be found in a misconception of the manner
in which inspired truths were transmitted to us. He con.
leaded that the apparent anomalies in Holy Writ were a
comeqnenee of indirect revelation. the persons to whom
many of the revelations were made having varied their
rendering of them to such an extent as to give grounds
for objections on the port of those who were disposed
to look at the Scriptures with a severely critical
eye. In proof of this position his lordship pointed oat
that the Ten Commandments, which were 'ascribed be
the finger of God upon the tablets as Mooot Sinai, end
the miracles He worked, and the parables l's five, the
mlnie of which acts wore performed directly by 6 al him-
mu, had sever boon the subject of adverse criticism from
the per of the greatest inMel, from the proclamation of the
Gospel to the prompt time. That anomalies did exist no
the was prepared to doubt ; bat the clear mid only mph's-
lion was given is the fact that the messages from Heaven
were sot verbally transmitted, and his lordship strongly
urged that this construction was one that should be nerd by
all members of the Christian Church in refntiag the attacks
to which she was subject at the hands of those who were
prepared to doubt, or to induce others to doubt, the iamb"-
tioa and antheeticity of the Divine Word. At the coaclu-
non of the adk, which wee listened to with breathlem
&inmate's, kis lodship Windowed the Venerable Archdeacon
Lee and Dr. Wordsworth, both of whom spoke boldly
