importance. The Court went into mourning on

RSY.ALEXANDEIt F Luc/mi.—Yesterday even-
ing, after the service at Albion Chapel, Mr.
FLETcurt addressed his congregation as follows :
—lle had something else to do than to entertain
the public on the subject of himself, and they
would therefore excuse him if he abstained from
degrading the holy day, and that sacred place,
by entering into details which might be called for
more seasonably on other occasions. It seemed
that those who did not love him very much were
determined to publish all they could to his in-
jury ; should therefore be called upon by
and by, to publish all that lie could for his be-
nefit. It was his desire) and he believed that he
should accomplish it, to act on the defensive. '
He
hope, that it would never be his lot to act on the
ottensive—to drag any persons into courts civil or
ecclesiastical. He never would have' sent a single
line to a printing-press, had he not been com-
pelled to do so by the conduct of others. He
entreated his congregation to read his Protest
and Appendix, which contained matters inti-
mately connected with his usefulness in that
place. On Friday last he received a letter call-
ing upon him to abdicate his pulpit—to give up
his chapel and his people. That was a bold de•
mand indeed. To that communication he sent a
reply, stating that he would keep his place, his
pulpit, and his chapel. It was proper that his
congregation should see those communications,
and they should accordingly be laid before them
in a day or two. Be perceived that his respected
former managers had thought proper to exhibit
him who was once their minister in the public
papers. He was surprised at the proceeding, but
he felt himself called upon to give an answer to
what had been published, which should be ready
in a few days. A stranger to the real merits of
the case might, on reading the paper which had
been published, be taken in the snare ; but he
thought he b tumid be able to convince a child of
twelve years old that it waft a complete fallacy,
and had no bearing at all on the question. In
conclusion, he observed that he did not wish to
obtrude himself on the notice of the public, un-
less when compelled to do so in his own 'defence.
Before the service commenced in the morning, a
deputation from the Associate Synod of Edin-
burgh presented themselves at the chapel, and
demanded to he put in possession of the pulpit.
Mr. JONES, one of the managers, refused, in the
name of the congregation, to surrender it. The
deputation then retired.
