PROPOSED REVISION OF THE pRAVERNOOX.

Yesterday afternoon the fifth annual meeting of
the members of the imocistion for Promotion a Revision of
the Ptayerbook and a Review of the Acted Uniformity was
held at Willis's-rooms, under the presidency of Lord Ebary.
The noble chairman, in °pea* the proceedings, adverted

counter, owing in some roman to a misapprehension of its
objects. The wish of the member wee the reformation
not the destruction of the Prayer-book. The had had the
whyof the church in a compact fens t them, nod
lately a dorm of neology bad broken over e church which
had gives rise to controversies which bad almost drowned
their vein. He coodemeed the present full services of the
*Minh es ea absurd jumble of wearisome length, and dr
plowed that Ammon were still compelled to declare
their "sal ' assent sail weasel" to everything con-
tained I. the Preyerhook. He spoke hopefully
of the royal commission recently appointed, and remarked
that as a member of it he ought not perhaps to divulge what
had taken plan daring their diamasione. He might, how-
ever state this, that unless he wee very strangely mistaken,
the days end even the hours of " unfeigned meet sad one-
net ° were numbered. That declaration bed very few de-
feeders before—now it bad none, and that odious remnant
of erclesintioal persecution nod tyranny would at nos be
swept away. This ancounceinent wee received with loud
ahem by the meeting.
