After a brief iheramieat_Sir Rossatca I. lloacateow
proposed, aad the Dean of IT escanded, a motion, to the
effect that Reslaburgh should be the place for the association
to meet next year. Is maldag this motion, the learaed

The other i.c.l oaken were appointed. Mr. John
Taylor waste- elected treasurer; Professor Phillip, aseisuust-
secretary ; and Professor Res le was appointed assistant-
geseral-secretary with Col. Sane.
This terminated the business of the committee.
It easy be neat loud that the Tarkist. ambassador arrived
here on Saturday, and that he has since visited the eahibi-
hoe and some of the most interesting manufactories.
• rather singular occurrence took plea yesterday. It
appears to have afforded much conversation and some 'muse-
meat ; therefore I refer to it here. It seems that the Bishop
of Oxford had been solicited, sad bad given his consent, to
preach et one of the Ourchre—that of St. Pnihp—in aid of
the fonds of ore of the local charitable institutions ;
another gentleman, scarcely of left note, Mr. Dawson,
11•. was to preach at tine church of the Saviour.
Dr. Wilberforce declined to attend the soiree at the
Manchems r Atheneum in 1846, because Mr. Dawson had
been invited, on the grounds of the infidel character of some
passages in this gentleman's lectures; much curiosity was
therefore felt on this occasion to know which of these two
eminent individuals was to receive the countenance of tte
disiinguithed penoas present in the town7at this mestirg,
priding themselves. as the generality of them are I believe
in the habit of doing, on the strictly orthodox character
of their religious views. I attended both the
church of St. Philip ant the church of Saviour; the
right rev. prelate's auditory was unquestionably very large,
rued included the Marquis of Northampton and other
preens of high station, but, curiously enough, by far the
greater proportion of the most distinguished philosophers of
the town were to be louts t under the ministration of Mr.
Dawson. I mention the fart as rather a significant oat, in
its way, and as illustrative bow slightly the qualms of the
Bishop's conscience are participated in by his coadjuton in
scientific pursuits—mm who ate, I believe, many of them
remarkable for the purity of their characters and fins.
