Mr. JOHN SHARPE, engineer, seconded the motion.
The Bishop of Winchester was aunt() put the resolatioa,

Mr. BOUTHWELL (a young man who bad hitherto sat
quietly monist a body of clergy at the left of the their) ad-
va..eed to the rid of the table, end said—Allow me, my lord,
hefere the motion it put to'he muting—
The Bishop of MANCEIF.STE It —You cahoot adders this
at miler you have an ameadmeat to propose.
Mr SOUTH WELL—I have an amendment.
The BISHOP—Cwt me Si. it.
Mr. SOUTH WELL bore banded forward a slip of paper.
TM BISHOP (crumpling It up in one hand)—This
anseadaret is irrelevant. I, cannot be pus.
Soma dinucion took place between Mr. Stowell and
Mr. Southwdl while the snood amendment was in prep.
ration—the working men at the other end of the room trite
Jag a perfect storm of disapprobation beams thiir friend
wu not all.wedi to proce:d. The second amendment was
here bonded to the r ght rev. prelate who presided.
The BISHOP (to Mr. tloadtweU)—Be kind enough to
step this way. I can't reed it.
Mr. Basthwsll stopped to his lordship's elbow, to make
oat the piece of caligraphy.
The BISHOP (addressing the meeting)—l decide again
this emu daunt is irrelevant.

The BISHOP—I shall not.
(Great uproar from the meeting, some calling for the
amendment to be read, others condemning the interruption,
and vane Monodies that as it was • public meeting the
amendment ought to be road.)
The BISHOP—I as placed in this chair to deride upon
question of order. Two amendmenth have been placed in
my hand diametrically opposite to the object of the meeting,
and I rerar to pat them. I now pot the original motion.
(Hen the show of heads wee taken, sad then wee a great
&ember on both sides.) The resolution is carried. (Cilia,
ot " No, no ")
Mr.:SOUTHWELL—I protest against the right of the
cheitmen to put the resolution until I had been heard upon
it, and I win maintain my right yet to be heard. (Applause
and diiapprob.tiou.)
Here the right rev. chairmen called upon the Rev.
Hugh Stork to mom the second resolution, but the
meeting bicame a ore of the inert c infusion dir.oily Mr.
Stowell roe, there being by this time in addition to himself
and Mr. Senthwell two speakers on the forms at the other
end of the room as candidates for "tee eablis ear."
The BISHOP said he mast carless it wee with =risk-
meat la • meeting like this, where the °limit was a eke-
ritable and religions one. and where persons were only asked
to contribute voluntarily, this opposition should be gine,
and that they should be met with an amendment dia-
metrically opposed to its spirit (Cries of " Read thee em d•
meat.")
Mr. SOUTHWELL—I demand proof of this statemeat—
let the amendment be read.
The BISHOP—I OWI asteabhed.
A Voitre—Read it, end let other judge as well as Mr-
self. (Chen sad eantinaed uproar.)
The BISIIO2—I em asteni-hed that the people of Mae-

Mr. SOUTHWELL (tuning upon Use nv. gentlemen)—

HMO the speaker was led out in caredy, but it was under-
rated that he was set at liberty outside.
The Bev. HUGH STOWELL then moved a resolution,
approving the establishment of a aides ministry in Chios,
and Arehdearsoa RUSHTON seconded the ten, mad it
wee agreed to.
At:Meson Rushton was then called to the chair, and a
vote of thanks to the Bishop of Manchester for his conduct
in the chair was proms •4 end carried nuaimousit.
The LORD BISHOP, In retuning think*. said he could
not 'row the muds' to pus over without making a few
observe' ions. He bad for the Ant time been preleat at a
meeting at which there had been myth= like • spirit of op.
poshin .or dissension. (Her, hear.) Is the neer* of
that duty which bad bra plated ht his hands, he
had decifled that both of the =errant, were in
Irma sad impropee. It wee of little cease
queues to kite that be wee met with a fist
desist ea the part of the per= who had proposed them.
He should still have acted on hie owa responsibility. (Hear.)
No esesideratioa would lave Ward Mee to alter that dr:i-
dea. However, not la justice to himself, re to the people
et Manebster, whom interests he was boated to reepeet sad
regard, and in juries to that debuted few who had been
away by the person who attempted as address them, he
should now reed the amendments. (11.er beer) The In-
dividual said he was friendly to the mull/sand that his
amen mints could properly and reasonably be Why,
what were they ? The first was, " That =Metre the
established church of these realms is by far
the richest in the world, this meeting protests
against any call for funds with a view to the
extensile of its wipre and its anti-Christian antkority."
That is an amimt at • meet behalf of the edema
of minims ! The smond wee "That the meeting are of
opiaioa that mirror, labours should be earritd on in
foreign parts_efter the spiritual wants of the people are duly
earlied." Was that on behalf or the diocese of Victoria
Bet he (the Bishop) wished to be understood properly: No
man throughout the length and breadth of the land wee
more devoted thaa himself to the reel interest and dignity
of the work= mss—(applare)—the man who earned his
bread be the sweet of his brow, and did his dat in are-
ear to his sovereign and en duty to bkOod. (Applans3.) He
looked upon the display they had that day withered as
the last Sintering Same of an about Inurat-out
caulks. He had looked with the deepest interest
at the proceedings of the wartlike mm of Manchester at a
recent meeting, at which they soaght an advance of wages ,•
and he vu gratified to see that ray
could temperately and
deliberately disc= the question. Bat be would say to them,
are these your thir=ds ? (No.) Is it to sea men se three
that you will entrust the dignity of yourselves, the lode.
pendenw of your families, the lamer of the manufacturing
crew, sad the alter.beseilt and prosperity of the country ?
No.) He mated no. The exposure, however, had that
day taken piece ; it would go forth in the newspapers ; and
he tree onvinerei that the working ten themselves would
support him in the mares which be had that day taken.

DAY Or PUBLIC HCIIILIATION.—Friday next, the
2lst inst., has, at the reeommendation and under the sane-
ties of the bishop of the diocese, been appointed in Chatham,
