PRESBYTERY OF HAMILTON..--This Presbytery met at
Hamilton on Tuesday the 27th ult. After some routine
business,
Mr PROUDFOOT, of Avondale, brought forward his mo-
tion for an overture regarding the principles of non-intru-
sion, and the exclusive spiritual jurisdiction of the Church,
and for an address to the Duke of Argyll, to thank him
for his defence of the spiritual privileges of the Church,
and to assure him, that a Bill to secure the principles of
non-intrusion and exclusive spiritual jurisdiction, will prove
satisfactory.
Dr. RUSSELL, of Dalserf, seconded the motion.
Mr. DEWAR, of Stonchouse, moved, that the presby-
tery dismi.,s the overture and address, on the ground that
patronage is inconsistent with the right principle.
Mr. BUCHAN, of Hamilton, seconded the motion.

Mr. MONCRIEF supported the overture and address. He
said, that, while the majority of the Church could con-
scientiously act under the law of patronage, as formerly
understood, they found it necessary to act in opposition
to the Civil Courts in some of their recent decisions. The
important point, therefore, was to get matters into a state
in which they could conscientiously avoid the collision.
The roll was then called, when the overture and address
were carried by a majority of 1 I.
SYNOD OF MORAY. --- The Synod of Moray met in
Forrei on Tuesday, the 27th ult. Arter a sermon by
the Rev. Mr. Maclachlan, of Cawdor, they were occupied
with several subjects of minor importance. The seven
suspended ministers of Strathbogie did not appear, and
a motion was made and seconded to strike their names off
the roll of the members of Synod until the suspension be
removed. which motion was carried.

On Wednesday the Daviot case was brought up on a
complaint, by Mr. Clark, on a deliverance of the Presby-
tery of Inverness, refusing to make the minutes in which
a person of the name of William Macintosh claimed to
be admitted to the roll of communicants a part of the re-
ference made by the Presbytery of Inverness to the ensu-
ing Assembly. _ _

Mr. Bircray moved, and was seconded by Mr. Gentle,
that the Synod dismiss the complaint, and affirm the sen-
tence of the Presbytery of Inverness.
The motion having been unanimously carried, Mr.
Maclennan, for the presentee, appealed to the ensuing
meeting of the Assembly : and Mr. Clark entered reasons
of protest upon the record.
