E IN' G-BLICA.L ALLIA.N

The conference re-assembled yesterday:morning ;
Sir C. EARDLEY in the chair.
After the usual devotional services,
General ALEXANDER brought forward he subject
of the opium traffic in the East, with a view to
its suppression. He sketched the history of the
traffic from the earliest period down to the last
yaar, when he said 100,000 chests of opium were sent
to China, where the use of the article in smoking had
longproduced most demoralising effects. He denied
the moral right of the Iu ian Government to carry
on such a traffic for the purposes of revenue, and
observed that the war with China, which had been
providentially interruptei, was. traceable to the
smuggling of opium. As ama '.ter of policy also
he condemned the opium trade, observing that the
Chinese lead latterly paid 10,000,000/. per annum
for opium, when they would otherwise have-been
prepared to spend an equal amount on British
manufactures.

After some discussion, the following resolution
on the subject was unanimously adopted :—" That
this conference cannot view the coincident disturb-
ance of our relations with India and of those with
China without regarding the odious opium traffic
as an element in the proceedings of the British
authorities involving the nation in guilt, displeas-
ing to Almighty God, and greatly impeding the
progress of the Gospel ; and would therefore urge
on all Christians the importance of using every
legitimate means to induce the Government of this
country to discountenance the production of opium
in India and its sale in China for demoralising pur-
poses."
The CHAIRMAN said he was happy to be able to
announce that the committee fur the Young Men's
Christian Association had taken Exeter Hall for
12 Sunday evening services, and that the first ser-
mon of the course would be preached next Sunday
evening, by the Rev. W. Brock. (Cheers.) It
was not impossible that clergymen of the Church
of England would take part in these services.
There was a canon of that Church which forbade
the depravation of the Prayer-book, and the use of
the Prayer-book out of a regular church was sup-
posed to come under that description. (Laughter.)
If the Liturgy were dispensed with, clergymen
might still preach. He then proceeded to give an
account of an interview which he had with the
King of Prussia after the termination of the Berlin
Conference. He said his Majesty expressed him
his joy at the success of the Conference, and told
him that the intelligence which he received from
all quarters as to its effects was of the most satis-
factory character. He ventured to suggest to hie
Majesty certain practical measures of union
and co-operation as desirable for the adoption of
the Christian brethren of England and Germany.
These included the use of pulpits in common by
the ministers of the two countries, and efforts for
the conversion of the Jews, the Roman Ca. hello
laity, and the Roman Catholic clergy in Germany,
in all which objects his Majesty expressed his con-
currence. He had been informed on good autho-
rity that in Bohemia—the country of Jelin Huss—
one half or two-thirds of the priests of the Romish
Giurch were prepared to leave that church if they
could only be shown how to obtain a livelihood ;
and that with a view to the furtherance of seces-
sions, a temporary refuge had been recently open
at Basle. He concluded by stating that the com-
mittees of the different religious societies in Lon-
don had lately expressed their willingness to co-
operate with their Christian brethren in Germany.
On the motion of the Rev. Mr. HARTLEY, se-
conded by the Rev. W. LEACH, the following reso-
lution was agreed to :
" That this Conference records its deep gratitude
to Almighty God for the abundant answer already
granted to the prayers offered in this place, on the
11th of June last, in the marked success of the
Berlin Conference, and rejoices In the prospect
afforded of the closer union of German and Euglish
Christians on evangelical and protestant principles,
after a long period of comparative separation."

On the smotion of the Rev. J. W. BORLAND,
seconded by Professor Horpus, it was resolved :
" The idea having been suggested of the desirable-
ness of forming a 'Committee of Correspondence'
with Germany and! central Christendom, in con-
nection with existing continental societies, with a
view to ultimate co-operation between the Chris-
tians of the two countries, the Conference cordially
approves of such an idea, and concurs in the pro-
priety of that committee chiefly keeping in view (as
topics on which to obtain better information) the
condition of the Jews, the work of God in Roman
Catholic parts of Germany, and. the contemplated
plan for affording temporary asylums to seceding
priests."
On the motion of Mr. T. H. GRA.HAM., seconded
' by the Rev. P. LATROBE, it was resolved :
" That the cordial and respectful thanks of this
meeting be presented to his Majesty the King of
Prussia, .for his kind, persevering, and successful
effirts to bring together Christians of Germany,
Great Britain, and other nations ; with the expres-
sion of our heartfelt sympathy in the heavy per-
sonal affliction with which it has pleased God to
visit him, our gratification in the measure of im-
provement in his Majesty's health already vouch-
safed, and our hope and prayer that the trial may
be speedily removed. That the thanks of the
meeting be also presented to her Majesty
Queen, to the Prince of Prussia, and the other
members of the royal family, who, by their presence
at the Garrison Church, and otherwise, manifested
their sympathy in the late Conference at Berlin!'
On the motion of Professor LORIMER, seconded
by th Rev. Mr. TYLER, it was further resolved :
• •

" That a letter founded on the above resolutions
be addressed to his Majesty, through his am-
bassador ; and that the resolution be also communi-
cated to the Rev. Dr. Hoffman, Superintendent-
General of the Diocese of Berlin and the Kurmark,
to the President of the Committee of the Prussian
Branch of the Evangelical Alliance, and to other
leading Christian men in various parts of Germany,
with a view to their being communicated to the
friends of evangelic truth throughout that coun-
try."
The Rev. C. JACKSON gave a narrative of the
proceedings of the Berlin Conference, in which
little was added to what had previously been made

Some resolutions of a formal character were then,
agreed to, and this terminated the proceedings 01
the session.
