a:Leftist/ate read the following quotation, and then sat down :
"Chartism is • brans forcv which force may repel and
destroy, but Paseyirm and Tractatianism Is • pestilential
malaria which taint/ and hint, a canker worm that Is gnaw-
' iag at the heart's eon of our church, a dry rot which, it not
removed, will crumble into dust from its foundation the
whole building."
Captain COTTREELL opposed the addition as injudi-
cious, and tending to destroy that unanimity which should
characterise the adoption of the address.
Sir PETER LAURIE said ice proposed addition was the
most important point that had been suggested. He defied
any one to point eat an instance of a middle-elm layman
going over from protestentism to the catholic church. The
perverts were the poor unlortunate young men who were
sent to the colleges. He meant no °Moth to the Bishop of
London, bat there was no dampr to bo apprehended from
the pe ion of laymen; the danger lay with throe snakes
that lay concealed In the protestant church, receiving pro-
testant pay, whilst secretly they Hut • conclave to Bone to
prepare an inwion of this country.
The Rev T. WILLIAMS interpreed. and hoped these
offensive remarks would not be per.isted is.
The CHAISMAN called the worthy alderman to order.

Sir P. LAURIE was sorry the up fitted the rev. magi-
strate. (Laughter.) He thought they were bound to ex-
press their real sentiments when they apprcached the throne.
He did not like milk and watery doctrine about unanimity.
The Hon. C. L. BUTLER mid there was a protestcnt
parliament la this country, and an act of parliament would,
he apprehended, counteract that of which they complained ;
and the very important letter of Lord John Rumen in-
tormed the cousin what might he expected when parliament
aseembled. He was fully aware of the dangers to be ap-
prehended from the enemy within, but he thought the ad-
dition should not be made to the address, and suggested its
withdrawal He thought that great trickery, knavery, and
deceit had been exhibited in the evasion of an ao . of parlia-
ment passed in good faith, and to promote good feeling and
a cordial understanding amongst the people.
The Rev T WILLIAMS would not have spoken but for
the merrier in anion his diocesan had been attacked. He
was as much opposed as any naagtr.rate present to the inno-
vations in the church of Bastard. He was neither the
apologist of the Bishop of London, our the advocate of Dr.
Puny, but he did protest as a magistrate against the
noninsured, uncharit►ble, and un-Christian language that
had been used, especially towards the right reverend prelate.
As Christian •od fair dealing men they ought not to hurl
anathemas upon those who differed from them in opinion,
and be regretted that such an attack should have been made.
(" Hear, hear," and " Oh.")
The addition was negatived by 26 to 13, and the address
was uosnimcusly adopted.
The court then adjourned.
