THIRD Dar—Thursday, Sept. 26.
General subject for the day's discussion :—" Co-opera-
tion in missionary action."
Notification of proposed Missionary Bishoprics.—Reno.
lotion : That, in case it should be proposed to found a
missionary bishopric by any of the branches of the church
represented in this conference, it seems to us desirable :
1. That notification of such intention be sent to all
archbishops and metropolitans of the home and colonial
church of England and Ireland, the primus of the pro-
testant episcopal church in Scotland, and the presiding
bishop of the protestant episcopal church in the United
States ; and 2, That, so soon *shay person is consecrated to
such bishopric, the announcement of such consecration be
made to the same parties.
Subordination of Missionaries.—Resolution That in
the case of the establishment of any missionary bishopric,
and consecration of a bishop to the same, we deem it expe-
dient that all missionaries should place themselves under
the general superintendence of such missionary bishop,
subject always to their obedience to such written instruc-
tions as may be sent to them by those in authority at
home. _ _ _

Concluding resolution : That we desire to render our
hearty thanks to Almighty God for the blessings vouch-
safed to us in and by this oonference ; and we desire to
express our hope that this our meeting may hereafter be
followed by other meetings to be conducted in the spirit of
the same brotherly love.
The closing benediction.

THE Nzw ikntotlOH OF CHELSEA. —Last night
a public meeting was held in the Vestry-ball, King's-read,
Chelsea, to receive the report of a temporary committee
appointed for the purpose of so-operating with other
bodies in organising the borough, watching the registration,
and considering the claims of candidates, and .• to con-
sider what steps shall be taken for the thorough organisa-
tion of the liberal party, so as to secure purity of election
and the return of the people's candidates." Mr. E. H.
Babbitts occupied the chair. The report of the committee,
after announcing the resignation of three of their number,
stated that they had determined upon recommending the
appointment of a permanent committee, representative of
every shade of liberal opinion, for the purpose of carrying
out the desired objects. They had selected men who
would be likely to act honestly in the vindication of free
principles, but it would be for the meeting to determine
whether any one or number of them should be accepted or
rejected. The desire of the committee from the end had
been to mews purity of election and the return of suitable
representatives, and they disclaimed all wish to injure
the prospects of any present candidate. They only
earnestly recommended the electors not to hurriedly
pledge their votes, but to consider the great and solemn
duty which now devolved upon them, namely, to preserve
the credit of the great borough of Chelsea by returning
men who, by their enlightened views and recognised capa-
city to guide public opiniou, should be really and truly
the beet men and the peoples' candidates. A resolution
in favour of the adoption of the report having been moved,
two of the threemem hers of the committee who had waded
explained that in taking that step they had been influenced
by the belief that the appointment of the committee was
premature, and that in its constitution there well too great
a preponderance of the working class element. The reso-
lution was adopted, and, after the names of those forming
the oonimittee had been submitted and approved of, the
promedinp terminated.
