WESLEYAN CONFERENCE.—Yesterday the com-
mittee of the Home Mission and Contingent Fund met at
Brunswick Chapel, Liverpool. The Rev. J. Bond? secretary,
read the minutes of the Contingent Fund Committee. This
fund is designed to relieve the necessities of dependent
circuits, afflicted ministers, &c. The Rev. Chas. Prest
read the report of the Home Mission Fund. me Rev.
W. Arthur? M.A., Dr. Rigg, S. R. Hall, and a number
of influential laymen took part in the discussion upon the
reports, and resolutions were adopted expressive of thank-
fulness for the steady increase in the Home Mission Fund,
and recommending that in future the sum of 100,0001.
per annum be raised for the mission indeed of
20,0001., the amount contributed during the last year.
The claims upon this fund from the cities,
towns, and rural districts, are urgent, and rapidly
increasing, but want of means compels their con-
sideration being deferred. Bow-lane and Bethnal-green,
in the cost of London, were adduced to show the great
success which has been achieved, and which might still
be expected. The conversation on this important depart-
ment of methodist work was brought to a close by a
hearty vale of thanks being tendered to the ministers
and gentlemen who had advocated the cause of the mis-
sion. Tho chapel committee (which met late on Monday
aittnu on) reportril that during the year the erection of
twtnty-tine new chapels. ministers' houses, ice., had been
isticticned at a coat of 211,615/.; that the total chapel
outlay during the year had been 248,9201. ; and that the
total debts reduced in 14 years had been 300,0001.
